;The Battle of Ceres ended with the evacuation of humans, but the Nanzhou fleet only left Ceres and did not withdraw from the asteroid belt.

Since the expedition plan has separated the main force of the human fleet, the Nanzhou Fleet Group is the last mobile force of humanity in the asteroid belt and cannot be withdrawn at this time under any circumstances.

Fortunately, the main force of the alien fleet has gone to Mars, and the alien warships left in the asteroid belt are basically on Ceres. The combat pressure on the Nanzhou is not very high, and the two sides are evenly matched.

On the third day after the Battle of Ceres, the main force of the alien fleet flew to Mars, but it would take another week for the expedition fleet to fly to Jupiter.

Those who heard the news first breathed a sigh of relief, and then inevitably thought of the few days of delay before departure. Many people had an idea: if Huo Qiang hadn't been hesitant, the fleet would have definitely reached the target before the enemy. , at least it can arrive at the same time!

To be honest, the fleets of both sides are not in the same direction, and their goals are also different. It doesn't make any difference whether it is a few days earlier or a few days later, but some people just can't get over this hurdle.

Huo Qiang was very calm about this. He had no intention of caring about whether these things existed or not. If he had the time and energy, he might as well care more about the war on Mars.

After several months of intense construction, all projects on Mars were completed on time. The engineering personnel withdrew from Mars ahead of schedule, leaving only a small number of military personnel and 20,000 servants.

The orbital elevator was also evacuated from Mars before the enemy troops arrived, leaving only the bare base and straight rails on the wasteland.

Can Mars do it?

This is a question that lingers in the minds of many people.

It’s not that everyone is too pessimistic, it’s just that the strength between the enemy and ourselves is too different.

There are only two battle groups in the direction of Mars, the Xuzhou and the Enterprise. There are more than 20 battleships in total, and one battle group is left in each of the two camps. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, just command and coordination is not a small problem.

The enemy is different. The first batch of enemy ships that have just arrived has more than a hundred ships, and there will be two more batches later, with a total of more than 200 ships. The ratio of enemy warships to ours is as high as ten to one. With such a disparity in strength, even if the four are Even if all the super cannons are added, it will not be enough. No matter how you look at it, the defeat of Mars is only a matter of time. Once Mars is lost, the earth will be the enemy's next target.

The Earth's defense system is much more complete than that of Mars, but the expedition plan took away the fleet. Although the orbital factory has been operating at full capacity since the fleet left, there are not many new ships on the slipway, so they can barely form a battle group, but there is still no The kind of space carrier.

There is not enough fleet near the earth. There are only super cannons but no battleships. It is like lame leg. In addition, the aliens who have landed on the earth have been restless and jumped out from time to time to stir up trouble. If we cooperate with the alien fleet inside and outside, , the consequences are not generally unimaginable.

Everyone is nervously waiting for the enemy's attack, but the aliens don't seem to be in a hurry to attack Mars, but are lingering near Mars, patiently waiting for the follow-up troops.

When everyone's attention turned to the second and third batches of alien fleets, they realized what the aliens were planning to do - these two fleets were carrying dozens of asteroids of varying sizes!

"Is this trying to copy the style of play on Ceres?" Luo Qi guessed in surprise.

Aliens do not smash the earth because they want to colonize it, but Mars does not have this problem. If an asteroid hits Mars, the consequences are completely conceivable.

"Eighty percent yes." He Lu said, "No wonder Ceres didn't give up even after being beaten so badly. Relationships are just a rehearsal for fighting Mars!"

"That's not right!" Luo Qi still couldn't figure it out. "There is a lot of water on Ceres, and it would be useful if aliens snatched it away. But there is only so little water on Mars, and it is all buried underground. It would be useless to snatch it away, right?"

Now He Lu couldn't answer for a while and subconsciously looked at Ye Han. Others noticed He Lu's actions and also looked at Ye Han.

Ye Han felt bad: "What are you doing, why are you looking at me?"

He Lu gave Ye Han a look of help: "Boss, don't you have any internal information?"

Ye Han glared at He Lu angrily: "Internal information about fart,

Do I have an inside line to break into the aliens or something? "

He Lu grinned awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. I just want to hear your opinions and learn from you!"

These words sounded good, and Ye Han thought for a while before saying: "Maybe aliens have a way to transform Mars... This possibility is not high; maybe they don't want Mars to fall into our hands... Or they may have other ideas... Hey, Aliens don’t occupy Mars because there’s nothing they want here. On the other hand, what if Mars has value?”

The resources aliens need are organic matter or water, not mineral resources. There is no shortage of minerals on Mars, but it is extremely difficult to find organic matter and water.

He Lu was a little confused: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Ye Han said: "For example, what would happen if aliens need gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals?"

He Lu immediately said: "First occupy Mars, and then use giant insects to mine... Aliens are so good at digging holes, mining is a business without money!"

"That's it... eh, it would be great if we could get a batch of giant insects back to mine. We would definitely make a lot of money!" Luo Qi said yearningly.

"You only know about money!" Ye Han glared at Luo Qi angrily, "Don't you think about why aliens mine?"

"What else could it be for? Either they are copying our technology, or they have some use for it. For these two reasons, for sure!" Luo Qi said confidently.

He Lu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Do I need you to tell me!"

"Don't worry, don't worry about it." Luo Qi waved his hand casually, "If the aliens had this ability, they would have taken Mars long ago. Why would they wait until now?"

He Lu said: "I'm not worried about them copying, I'm just afraid that they will find out the lost technology again."

"It shouldn't happen." Ye Han said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Our own technology is not that simple. Let's talk about yourself. If I give you a set of battleship blueprints, can you build a battleship?"

"Of course not!" He Lu agreed with this point.

Ye Han spread his hands: "Isn't that the end? The aliens must have been wandering for a long time. Even if they really kept the old technology, it is not so easy to restore it. We must try it bit by bit. When we can find it out, we can count it. If we have the time, we might as well continue to use the current technology."

"That's right!" Luo Qi agreed very flatteringly, and then added in a very wise tone: "If it's gone, it's gone. How can reverse engineering be that simple? Even if there is a real object, it may not be copied. Otherwise, look at Jupiter's moon, if the aliens can still build a planetary engine, why wait until today?"
