One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Six Mars's Flaw
Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Dian Dian Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! He Lu rolled his eyes: "Come on, have you forgotten that the brains of aliens are like hard drives, they can write things directly into their brains, what if they write the technology passed down from the past directly into their brains, what do you think will be the result."
Luo Qi was stunned when he heard it, and wanted to refute it, but in the end he had to agree with He Lu's hypothesis, because aliens do have this technology. If there is any ancient technology that has been preserved to this day, it would be much easier to restore it than humans.
Luo Qi was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of the omission in He Lu's words: "No, no, that's not the case. If they could really do it, they would have occupied Mars long ago, and would not have waited until today. How long has it been? They first occupied Jupiter and drilled into the asteroid belt, but they never thought of Mars. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
This statement immediately won everyone's approval.
To aliens, Mars is a barren land, but it is different for humans. Aliens must know that humans have the ability to use the resources of Mars, and they know that once Mars falls into human hands, it will become a bridgehead for humans to enter the asteroid belt. This is not good news for aliens who are determined to occupy the earth.
To put it more simply and bluntly, attacking Mars is a long-term and steady approach; crossing Mars is a strategic adventure of quick success and instant benefits.
Alien civilizations are indeed different from humans, but this does not mean that aliens have no strategic vision... Well, the wave of aliens who like adventure is now on Earth, and those who don't like adventure are approaching the Earth step by step.
Thinking of this, Ye Han said: "Okay, don't argue. We know too little. It's meaningless to argue about these things. Let's do what we should do.
The debate ended here, and everyone continued to pay attention to the situation on Mars.
The aliens were not in a hurry to attack, and the defenders were even less anxious. While there was still some time, the defenders hurried to adjust the fleet. The transport ships that had no time to withdraw, the transport ships that could not be withdrawn, and the orbital elevators all flew to Phobos. The super cannons there had been completed and could provide protection for these auxiliary warships. It was the best anchorage and safe haven.
Since only the super cannons were built on Phobos, and other auxiliary facilities had not been constructed in time, the warships evacuated there could only fall into the craters on the surface of Phobos, and then cover them with camouflage nets or something like that. If the camouflage nets were not enough, they would simply dig some soil to bury the warships.
Although the method was crude, It was a little bit of a bummer, but the effect is still very good. Even if it is a warship of human beings, it can be hidden without careful search, and it is not a problem to hide it from the enemy.
You have to be careful when burying it. The gravity of Phobos is too low. If you use a little more force, the soil and rocks can fly away from Phobos.
Because there are too many transport ships and the orbital elevator, there are not enough craters in the end, and the extra transport ships can only be parked on the surface of Phobos.
As for Deimos, there is no need to mention it. No one is willing to go there at all.
There are also super cannons on Phobos, which can also protect transport ships. The problem is that Phobos is small in size and there are not so many places to place transport ships. In addition, the orbital altitude of Phobos is more than 23,000 kilometers, which is really far away. The super cannons placed on Mars and its satellites are of low level, the number of lasers is not enough, and the longest range is only 20,000 kilometers. Five thousand kilometers, barely enough to bring Deimos into range.
To put it simply, the three super cannons on Mars and Phobos, as well as the Martian defenders, can cover each other, but Deimos is isolated, and the garrison will dilute the defenders' strength, and the artillery array cover is also a bit powerless, so the defenders believe that the aliens are likely to attack Deimos and open the road to Mars from here.
For this reason, the defenders tried their best to strengthen the strength of Deimos and set up a large number of missile positions on Deimos, hoping that these missiles can help Deimos hold out for a while.
Two days later, the second batch of enemy ships arrived on Mars, along with dozens of asteroids.
The alien fleet immediately launched an offensive, throwing asteroids at Mars, and the angle of the asteroids was very tricky,
perfectly avoiding the shooting range of the super cannons.
In order to avoid the super cannons, The aliens racked their brains and made long observations in advance. They not only determined the position of the artillery array, but also used the experience gained on Ceres to calculate the firing range of the four artillery arrays.
That's not all. They also took the position of the two satellites into consideration and waited until Deimos turned to the other side of Mars to start.
As we all know, the rotation angle of the laser launcher determines the firing range of the super cannon. The two artillery arrays on Mars are located at the north and south poles, controlling 68% of the sky of Mars.
The artillery array on Phobos can also control part of the sky, but the specific areas controlled must depend on where Phobos moves.
The same is true for Deimos. Since the positions of the two satellites are not fixed, the control range of the artillery array is also not fixed. As long as the aliens find the right direction, it is not difficult to avoid the super cannon.
If all the artillery arrays are placed on Mars and the positions are reasonably allocated, the four artillery arrays can definitely control the sky of Mars 100%. The problem is that Mars has never been a good baby. Instead, it is known for its bad temper. Almost every spring and summer, this bad-tempered red planet will have a large-scale dust storm, and dust storms covering half of the planet are not rare at all.
The average duration of a Martian dust storm is several weeks, but there are many that last longer. The largest Martian dust storm recorded occurred in 1971, lasting from late September to late December, a period of several months.
In October, the worst month, except for the bright polar caps, the rest of the surface of Mars was covered by dust storms. The duration and scope of the dust storms were appalling.
Compared with Mars, the dust storms on Earth are weak.
Of course, global dust storms are not so common, but regional dust storms are commonplace.
Placing the artillery array at the poles can avoid the impact of dust storms to the greatest extent. On the contrary, if the artillery array is placed elsewhere, once a dust storm occurs, the dust raised by the strong wind will float thousands of meters in the air, completely submerging the artillery array under the dust. Even if the artillery array can determine the target direction through satellites, the beam will be greatly weakened by the dust in the sky.
It is precisely because of so many restrictions that the joint command had to place two artillery arrays at the two poles and the other two artillery arrays on satellites.
Designers and construction personnel have mentioned more than once that Mars is not a place suitable for super cannons. Instead, the atmosphere-free environment of Ceres and satellites is more suitable for artillery arrays.
The placement of the artillery array had to accommodate the environment, leaving a big flaw. Now this flaw has been discovered by aliens, so they directly threw asteroids at Mars.
