One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-Seven The Key to Breaking the Deadlock

Gao Kai did send good news that was worth being happy about, but Ye Han and everyone else on board the Leishan were just happy and no one was excited about it.

Nothing else. There are really too few human warships in the asteroid belt. There are only four ships in total. Even if reinforcements are immediately in place, there will only be ten ships.

Moreover, these ten warships are distributed on a long front of 200 million kilometers, and the strengths of the enemy and ours are not at the same level at all.

Ye Han always felt that the purpose of aliens sending so many warships must be more than just building a few space bases, but he couldn't guess what they wanted to do specifically.

The only feasible countermeasure at the moment is to destroy whatever the aliens want to do on the human side.

Based on this principle, Ye Han used his crooked brain again, called up the nearby star map, and picked out all the asteroids that crossed the line and might be used by aliens.

Aliens have already occupied several asteroids on the arc. There is no reason to abandon the asteroids behind the arc. This arc, located inside the asteroid belt, has been recognized by Beiyuezhou as a front between the enemy and ourselves. , both sides of the battle line are the lines of actual control of both sides.

Ye Han soon realized that even if the size exceeds the limit, there are not as many asteroids that can be used by aliens as imagined. They must have several common characteristics at the same time. First, they must be large enough, secondly, they must be strong, and There just has to be water.

Ye Han had never been aware of the water problem, but when he accidentally mentioned that Jupiter was far away during the chat, he suddenly realized that aliens also had supply problems.

Jupiter takes nearly twelve years to complete one revolution. In other words, aliens in the asteroid belt have to wait ten years for Jupiter to return.

How could aliens survive ten long years without logistical supplies?

They had either prepared a large amount of supplies long ago, or they could use local materials... Jupiter probably couldn't provide that much supplies, so Ye Han preferred the latter.

Asteroid No. 4 is an example. If there were only rocks there, would aliens still pay so much attention to it?

Thinking of this, the situation that had always been unclear in Ye Han's eyes seemed to suddenly become clear - water is not only the source of life for humans, but also the source of life for aliens!

"This is the key to breaking the situation!" Ye Han commented on his discovery.

He immediately marked all the nearby ice-rich asteroids that exceeded the size line, and found that there were only four. After thinking about it, he just ignored the size.

Mark all ice-rich asteroids.

Larger ice-rich asteroids are definitely the first choice for aliens, but thinking about it conversely, aliens can collect ordinary ice-rich asteroids and use them!

As a result, the aliens have a wider range of choices.

Ye Han immediately reported his findings to Beiyuezhou, and then stared at the ice-rich asteroids ahead, blowing up every one he encountered and preparing to crush them all the way.

Ye Han's plan was indeed good, but as soon as the first asteroid was blown up, the alien battleships that had been following the Leishan stopped. They were like a group of restless wasps, rushing towards the Leishan from all directions and angles.

The moment the enemy ship rushed towards the Leishan, the suspicion was confirmed.

The alien battleship had always kept a safe distance from the Leishan, and it was not that easy to get close now. Ye Han gave an order, and the Leishan accelerated again, dragging a group of enemy ships and continued flying.

The situation was immediately sent back to Beiyuezhou. The big bosses who received the news didn't know what to say. The originally unsolvable situation was finally solved by Ye Han, and it was like the first light blooming in the darkness. A ray of light.

When Huo Qiang learned about this, he was filled with emotion and praised: "This boy is very lucky. He is a lucky general."

Just a comment is naturally not enough. After careful research by Beiyuezhou's big bosses, Beidu dispatched troops to the asteroid belt and issued the highest order to march behind enemy lines.

The content of the order is simple: march behind enemy lines and destroy all ice-rich asteroids.

There are also different voices within the military. Some far-sighted generals sharply pointed out that the ice-rich asteroid is not only the lifeline of aliens, but also an important material basis for mankind to enter and take root in the asteroid belt. Destroying it will not be conducive to humanity's future entry into the asteroid belt.

The words are very reasonable and the opinions are very pertinent, but if you can't think about it now, who can think about such a distant issue in the future?

After receiving the order, the Nanzhou, which had been hovering near the battle line, immediately advanced behind the enemy's rear and became the second human warship to penetrate into the enemy's hinterland.

The Binghai of Base No. 3 and the Qionghai of Base No. 4 also left the base after receiving the order and headed towards the enemy's rear separately.

Even the reinforcements flying towards the asteroid belt received orders to fly directly behind enemy lines.

The situation in the asteroid belt has never been clearer.

The changes in human beings cannot be hidden from the eyes of aliens. Before the Nanzhou has crossed the battle line, the nearby aliens have begun to mobilize their troops and prepare to stop the Nanzhou.

The Nanzhou had long been prepared for battle, but Gao Kai was surprised to find that there were only a dozen enemy ships blocking the Nanzhou.

He thought that the aliens had hidden the main force and wanted to catch the Nanzhou off guard, but Gao Kai soon discovered that it was not that the aliens did not want to send more troops, but that there were only so many enemy ships in this direction!

Gao Kai immediately became unbalanced. That boy Ye Han could attract more than thirty enemy ships. How come he only had about ten ships left when he arrived?

More than a dozen enemy ships were enough to give the Nanzhou a hard time. Gao Kai did not dare to fight hard, and tried every means to fight with the enemy. In the end, he was dragged by the enemy near the front line and could not go deep into the enemy territory.

The enemy was strong and we were weak. The Nanzhou was very cautious and stopped every time it came into contact with the enemy.

The aliens did not think of annihilating the Nanzhou, but just blocked the Nanzhou outside the front line.

The situation of the Binghai and Qionghai was similar. They were dragged by the enemy ships with absolute advantages. They could not cross the front line without fighting the enemy.

As a result, the Leishan was still the only human warship that went deep into the enemy's rear.

Gao Kai deeply felt that his strength in the asteroid belt was still too weak. If he could gather several warships, it would not be difficult to break the enemy's blockade.

But then again, although the three warships on the human side failed to enter the enemy's rear, the aliens sent more than 40 warships to block them, which also served the purpose of mobilizing the enemy. From this perspective, it didn't make much difference whether to enter the enemy's rear or not.

The battle situation was deadlocked again, and there was no hope of breaking the deadlock for a while. Beiyuezhou could only pin his hopes on the reinforcements flying to the asteroid belt.

Beiyuezhou had already informed the joint command of the situation and issued an order to march behind enemy lines through the joint command.
