One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ten Extremely Passive

Callisto, Jupiter's fleet anchorage.

Gao Kai spoke lightly, but he didn't dare to be careless in his heart.

There are only more than 200 enemy ships in this group, but half of them are super bug cannons. This thing has a long range and is very powerful. Even the expeditionary force sank a super gunship. The Jupiter fleet is all old warships, and it is impossible to face them head-on. Fight against the Super Bug Cannon.

He thought for a while by himself before calling other people from the headquarters. They all gathered together to discuss for a while. After unifying their opinions, they ordered the fleet to immediately enter a state of combat readiness. All warships must ensure that they can sail at any time.

There is also the need to immediately take over the Jupiter defense network and convert automatic control to manual launch.

Most of the launch bases of the Jupiter Defense Network are located in the Himalia satellite group. The distance between these satellites and Jupiter is more than 11 million kilometers. However, there are also some launch bases on farther satellites, and the distance between them and Jupiter is less than 20 million kilometers. About 10 million kilometers.

The outer launch bases could have been the first line of defense against the enemy. However, the outer launch bases are not only small in number, but also far apart from each other. Although the range of long-range missiles is sufficient, it is difficult to form coordination and attack the enemy. The threat is not as great as imagined.

The ultimate goal of the enemy is definitely to rescue the aliens in the direction of Jupiter, but there are many ways to achieve the goal. Once the outer launch base fires on the enemy ship, the location of the base will be exposed immediately, which is likely to attract enemy retaliation. The enemy troops were defeated one by one.

This was the result Gao Kai least wanted to see, so he took the initiative to close the outer launch bases and lure the enemy troops deep into Jupiter.

At present, the alien fleet has just entered the gravitational range of Jupiter. The straight-line distance from Jupiter is still more than 20 million kilometers. This distance is not close. It will take more than 20 days for the alien warship to fly.

Not only the Jupiter fleet knew about this, but Ye Han also knew about it, otherwise they wouldn't have sent supplies first and then flew to Jupiter.

The next day, the Jupiter fleet made new moves. Several warships left Jupiter and flew in different directions.

The mission of these warships is to send technicians to launch bases in different directions to comprehensively inspect all launch bases to ensure that missiles can be launched normally.

The next period of time was very peaceful. The Second Turkish Fleet and the Expeditionary Force were facing each other tit for tat, and they assembled inside and outside the asteroid belt. However, both sides had to overcome the distance problem before gathering, and it was impossible to exchange fire for a while.

The Lone Wolf sent the supplies to Ceres and then set off on the road lightly, flying to Jupiter as quickly as possible.

Jupiter is far away in another direction at this time,

Lone Wolf must fly through half of the asteroid belt to reach Jupiter. Even at Lone Wolf's speed, it will take more than a month to reach its destination.

The most important task of the Jupiter fleet during this period is to monitor the movements of aliens. It not only monitors external enemies, but also monitors the large satellites more closely.

The Jupiter fleet did not retain any of its 30-odd warships. They all moved to the inner layers of Jupiter and guarded the large moons separately.

On December 7, 2037, the alien fleet finally approached the Himalia satellite group. Gao Kai gave an order and the launch base on Europa opened fire first. Twenty-four missiles in the entire base were ignited in sequence, and all of them were fired in the shortest time. It flew away from the launch pad, quickly lifted into the air and flew far away. After just a few seconds, the missile's tail flame turned into a light spot that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Before the dust blown by the wake settled, the technicians stationed at the fleet base immediately took action to install the spare missiles on the empty launchers.

More than two hours later, the launch base on Callisto received an order to launch all twenty-four missiles into the sky in one go...

Callisto was the furthest away from the enemy, so it was the first to launch missiles, and Callisto was the second farthest, so it was ranked second to last.

The reason for launching based on distance is to coordinate the missile's contact time with the enemy, maximize the density of missiles, and improve the hit rate of long-range missiles.

Jupiter's gravitational range is so great that by the time the last batch of missiles were launched from Europa, it was already a day later, and it took these missiles another nineteen hours to fly to the enemy. nearby.

Before the missile could get close, the aliens had already started to take action. More than 200 warships dispersed in groups. After gaining distance, they continued to disperse. Those targeted by the missile regrouped to fight against the incoming missile. The other group that was not locked by the missiles hid behind to act as supporting firepower.

Moreover, all enemy ships have kept a sufficient safe distance, and it is absolutely impossible for one nuclear bomb to destroy two enemy ships.

Wang Li looked at the scattered enemy warships with a look of displeasure on his face: "The dog's movements are quite fast!"

"Can you hurry up!" Gong Wei sighed, "Such a long distance, such a big movement, unless the aliens are all blind, it is impossible not to see it, but can you think of a way in advance?"

As he spoke, the distance between the missile group and the enemy ship was less than 40,000 kilometers. The originally motionless missile suddenly ignited, and the tail spit out flames again. While the speed increased sharply, the bow of the ship released a smoke screen outward, and the missile group was immediately covered by the billowing smoke. submerged.

The alien fleet responded to the ever-changing changes, still maintaining its original dispersed formation.

Thirty thousand kilometers away, there was no movement from the aliens.

Twenty thousand kilometers and still no response.

Ten thousand kilometers and still no action!

Even Gao Kai couldn't sit still and couldn't understand what the aliens were waiting for.

Just when the missile was only 8,000 kilometers away from the enemy ship, a super bug cannon suddenly opened fire on the missile group. A beam of light with an astonishing diameter crossed the void and instantly penetrated the billowing smoke screen.

The beam of light that penetrated the smoke screen did not disappear, but stirred back and forth in the smoke screen until it disappeared without a trace after a few seconds.

Looking at the super insect cannon again, one third of it was deflated and completely useless.

A voice sounded from the Jupiter fleet's headquarters: "Missile Group No. 3, lost four missiles!"

Gao Kai's brows immediately frowned. There were only twenty-four missiles in a group, and the enemy destroyed four of them with one shot. How many more shots could the remaining ones last?

That beam of light was like a signal to start. Other super bug cannons opened fire one after another. The beams of light swept through the smoke screen. In the blink of an eye, the No. 3 missile group had disappeared, leaving only a little smoke screen that was still spreading slowly.

The enemy also paid the price of eight super insect cannons. It seems that the aliens' losses were higher than the Jupiter fleet, but the super insect cannons were all one-time purchases. After careful calculation, the losses of the Jupiter fleet were greater!

The air in the headquarters almost condensed, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Kai.

Gao Kai whispered: "Order those bases to strike again!"

Wang Li reminded in a low voice: "If we attack again, all the missiles will be used up!"

It doesn't matter if the missiles are all fired up, just add more, but those bases are the most critical layer. If the missiles are all fired up at this juncture, the defense network will become a complete decoration.
