Chapter 222 The Most Important Planet

At this moment, the bright tail flames of 24,000 spacecraft gathered together, as if a bright star suddenly appeared in the space.

In the previous stage, non-combat spacecraft had already started long-term and low-power deceleration - this would reduce the brightness and radiation of the tail flame, thereby reducing the chance of being discovered, and leaving the combat spacecraft cluster in advance.

They are now behind the combat spacecraft cluster and will arrive at Neptune later.

And 24,000 combat spacecraft, in inertial navigation mode, under the premise of almost no radiation release, quietly lurked into the orbit of Pluto at a speed of about 7,000 kilometers per second, and were not discovered by anyone.

Although compared with the outer solar system outside the orbit of Neptune, the inner solar system can be considered extremely small, but it is only relatively speaking.

In an absolute sense, the inner solar system is still very vast, with a distance of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of kilometers at any time. And at such a long distance, it is extremely difficult to discover some tiny spacecrafts with a size of only a dozen meters or tens of meters.

In particular, Han Yang's battleship cluster did not enter the inner solar system from the ecliptic plane, but from outside the ecliptic plane.

This further reduces the chance of being discovered.

Therefore, even though the distance from Neptune has been shortened to only about 1.2 billion kilometers, the huge battleship cluster has not been discovered.

But at this moment, the full-power deceleration process is turned on, and it is unrealistic to hide any longer.

The tail flames of the spacecraft converge together, and even a small-caliber telescope can see it, not to mention the Itar people who have considerable sky survey observation capabilities.

Since it can't be hidden, just go directly and openly!

At this moment, the deceleration rate of the battleship cluster is as high as 20 meters per square second. Calculated at this deceleration rate, the interior of the spacecraft will form about twice the gravity of the earth.

In this case, relative to Neptune's speed of about 7,000 kilometers per second, it only takes about 4 days to decelerate to a standstill. And after the deceleration action is completed, Han Yang's battleship cluster will just drive near Neptune.

From the appearance to the arrival of Neptune, Han Yang only left Neptune's defense forces 4 days!

In 4 days, even if it is the planet closest to Neptune at this moment, the defense forces of Uranus will not have time to maneuver to Neptune for support.

According to Han Yang's estimation, including the time for internal mobilization and coordination, the first batch of support forces will arrive at least 10 days later. And the six days in between are his window period.

Within six days, not only must Neptune be taken, but also defense preparations must be made to prepare for the subsequent support forces!

Han Yang was full of fighting spirit and marched forward all the way.

Just half an hour after the combat spacecraft cluster started the deceleration process and completely stopped concealing itself, an emergency report was placed on the desk of Wang Qing, the director of the Neptune Security Department.

"What? A spacecraft cluster was found in the four directions of Tianyuan? Judging from the mobility, it is estimated that it is a combat spacecraft? The total number is estimated to be around 24,000, and it is rapidly approaching Neptune?"

At this moment, Wang Qing's eyes almost popped out.

What's going on? What is going on? Where did all these spaceships come from? Why was there no sign before? Where did they come from? What are they doing here?

"Observe immediately, observe with all your strength!"

Wang Qing, the highest security officer of the Neptune system, immediately gave the order. The entire Neptune security system started to operate efficiently at this moment.

In less than an hour, more news gathered on Wang Qing's desk.

"We have asked the Ita Fleet and the Guard Corps, and they all replied that there has been no large-scale spaceship mobilization around Neptune recently... It has been confirmed that the spaceship cluster is a combat spaceship, and they will arrive near Neptune in about 4 days..."

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Wang Qing's forehead.

He didn't expect that he had been staying here in Neptune for more than 20 years in peace and had been dealing with the rebels for more than 20 years. The situation was originally stable, and the rebel fleet had been suppressed by him, but suddenly such a shocking thing happened.

Regardless of whether this is a rebel fleet, it is always bad luck!

"I'm Wolfe. Wang Qing, what's going on on Neptune?"

"Captain, I, I don't know."

Wolf was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "According to the current observation data, the technological level of this unknown fleet is not high, and its comprehensive combat performance is very likely to be more than 20% lower than that of the guard ship, and only slightly higher than the rebel warships.

At this moment, there are 400 guard ships and 10 Ita warships in the Neptune system. In addition to the automatic defense force, land-based defense force, and the air defense belt around Neptune, even if the number of enemy warships is dozens of times that of ours, it should not be a problem to defend Neptune.

I order that after the enemy fleet arrives, you must defend Neptune. Even if you can't defend it, you must hold on for 7 days. At this stage, Governor Malentine, Commander Van Litten, and I are urgently mobilizing fleets to support Neptune, and the first batch of support will arrive in 11 days."

Wolf obviously has more intelligence than himself. At this moment, after learning that the comprehensive combat performance of the attacking fleet was only slightly higher than that of the rebel warships, the huge stone in Wang Qing's heart disappeared instantly.

Rebel warships? To be frank, they are all a bunch of garbage. One guard ship can fight dozens of rebel warships, not to mention that they also have the Ita warships!

One ETA battleship can defeat more than 100 guard ships!

The combat power gap between the two sides is huge!

Besides, our side also has a large number of interstellar defense measures, including a large number of armed satellites, interstellar forts, and interstellar mine belts. There are land-based air defense bases on each satellite, surrounding Neptune, and an air defense belt around Neptune!

At this moment, Wang Qing truly gained confidence in his heart.

"Yes, Governor Malentin, Captain Wolf, please rest assured. I, Wang Qing, promise to complete the mission!"

After hanging up the phone, Wolfe looked at the other senior ETA people in the conference room.

Marundin, Fan Liteng, Trino, Shang Lun and others all looked solemn.

"This fleet is most likely the fleet of that mysterious arms dealer!"

Malentin said slowly: "The appearance of this fleet most likely means that he has decided to move from behind the scenes to the front, and really wants to start a head-on confrontation with us!"

Trino was a little puzzled: "With these warships with such backward performance? They can't even compare with the original human space force! Back then, one of our ETA warships destroyed 400 space force warships! Who gave it to them? His confidence?"

"Never mind that."

Malentin's face flashed with a trace of sinisterness: "As long as this mysterious arms dealer is willing to move from behind the scenes to the front, that's a good thing!

After passing the order, the nearby fleets mobilized quickly and rushed to Neptune's aid as quickly as possible. They attacked Neptune's defense forces in front and back to destroy this fleet. They thoroughly understood who this mysterious arms dealer was and destroyed him completely!

As long as he is eliminated, the rebel forces in the solar system will be rootless trees, and we can destroy them with our backhand! By then, the situation in the solar system will be stable! "

Different positions lead to different perspectives on problems.

What Wang Qing saw was guarding Neptune. What Trino saw was the complete annihilation of this incoming enemy. What Marentin saw was the hope of completely stabilizing the situation in the solar system!

In today's era, the root of all problems and conflicts is the mysterious arms dealer who has been hiding behind the scenes and has never revealed his true face!

I'm not afraid that you are strong, I'm not afraid that your fleet is strong, I'm just afraid that you won't show up!

As long as we can find him and destroy him, all other problems will be solved!

And now, it is very likely that a fleet belonging to a mysterious arms merchant appears head-on to confront our own side. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to completely solve the problems in the solar system!

How could Marentin miss it?

At this moment, the situation in the entire solar system suddenly became tense. Even the poor living at the bottom of society are aware of the changes in the situation, although they do not know any information.

On the streets, the guards patrol more frequently, are more equipped, and have a stricter and more solemn attitude.

In space, guard ships are dispatched more and more frequently, all day long.

Correspondingly, it is the rebel fleet.

The rebel fleet has become more active during this period! Moreover, their power seems to have been greatly enhanced.

Their warships are more numerous, more powerful, and more courageous!

They even dare to directly harass large planets! Although it is impossible for them to break through the defensive line and truly occupy a large planet, they are like a group of annoying flies, buzzing around the large planet all day long, making people extremely annoying.

"Your Majesty the Governor, there are some troubles in mobilizing the support fleet."

After synthesizing the intelligence and conditions from all parties, Wolfe and Fan Liten, the two controllers of the highest military forces, simultaneously reported to Marentin: "The rebel activities are becoming more and more rampant, although they cannot pose a fundamental threat to us. , but it greatly restricted our power.

The original plan to dispatch 100 ETA battleships and 1,500 guard ships to support Neptune may not work! If we really have to mobilize so much combat power, the planet's defense will be empty, the escort force will be insufficient, and the interstellar transportation capacity will probably be reduced to less than 60% of the original. "

Malentin immediately saw the connection between these events.

"It's unmistakable. This fleet that suddenly appeared is definitely the fleet of the mysterious arms dealer!"

Malentin said decisively: "Obviously, the rebel fleets in the solar system are trying their best to contain our power, in order to reduce the pressure on the mysterious arms dealers! There has been contact between them for a long time, this must be a unified strategy!"

There was such a tacit understanding between the two parties. Who would believe that the fleet was not owned by a mysterious arms dealer?

"The more this is the case, the more we must keep this fleet! Completely wipe out this force that threatens the stability of the solar system today!

I order that no matter what, at least 50 ETA warships and at least 800 guard ships must be dispatched to support! Be sure to keep this fleet! Be sure to arrive at Neptune on the 7th day at the latest after that fleet arrives at Neptune! Order Wang Qing to guard Neptune for at least 7 days! "

Fan Liten and Wolfe looked at each other and solemnly agreed: "Yes!"

After receiving the order from Wolfe, Wang Qing felt at ease again.

Do you only need to hold Neptune for 7 days? After 7 days, support several times the existing defense force of Neptune will arrive?

Then what else do I have to fear?

Isn’t it just 7 days? bring it on!

Not only do I have to defend Neptune, I also have to fight a good fight!

Over the years, I have suffered so much injustice and bad luck. When I was assigned to Mercury, I encountered the assassination of Rotrit. When I was assigned to the asteroid belt, I encountered the fall of Ceres.

Now that I am assigned to Neptune, I must avenge my previous shame and fight a comeback, so that all those who despise me and look down on me will understand that I, Wang Qing, am not only a determined warrior for the cause of human rejuvenation, but I also have the ability to match it!

Over the years, my loyal comrades have been encouraging and supporting me behind the scenes. In order to rescue me from prison and to enable me to realize my ambitions, my comrade, Han Yang, even at the cost of his own honor, directly made a request to Governor Malendin, so that I can have today!

How can I, Wang Qing, disappoint my comrades again? !

Come on! Come on! Let's have a good fight and see whether you, the lowly rebels who don't know how to be grateful and don't know the importance of the overall situation of the cause of human rejuvenation, can hinder the pace of human rejuvenation!

On Triton, at the headquarters of the Neptune Guard Department, Wang Qing solemnly issued the first order after the start of the Neptune Defense War.

"I order the Ita Fleet's Hott and Minglis ships to each carry three guard ships to harass the rebel fleet!"

"Yes!"

A total of six Ita warships and guard ships set out immediately after receiving the order. Facing the huge rebel fleet, they did not retreat but advanced head-on!

At this moment, on Triton, in the basement of the Neptune headquarters of Fuxing Mall, Han Yang sat leisurely in his seat, and the screen in front of him showed the image of the starry sky around Neptune.

Yes, long before the fleet appeared, Han Yang had already hidden his identity, quietly came to Neptune from the earth, and hid in the basement under Fuxing Mall.

What remained on Earth at this moment was just the robot substitute made by Han Yang.

Although the existing technology cannot make robots completely realistic, as long as people are not allowed to get too close to themselves, it should not be a problem to conceal it.

Besides, even if it is exposed, it shouldn't be a big problem.

This basement on Triton is located hundreds of meters below the surface, and it was built by Han Yang alone with robots. No one except Han Yang knows the existence of this underground base.

Han Yang is sure that the next battle on Neptune will not pose any threat to his own safety.

At this moment, he is checking the situation in space at the moment through the civilian observation accuracy allowed by the Itar people.

"Take the initiative to attack? The Itar fleet is dispatched? Well... In addition to harassment, I'm afraid there is also a plan to actually verify the combat power of the attacking fleet. The arrangement is very safe."

Han Yang leaned back comfortably on the chair, without any tension in his heart.

For more than 20 years, through repeated discussions with Wang Qing about the Illuminati, Han Yang has already figured out the general defense strategy and defense arrangements of Neptune, and knows the real combat power of the Neptune system at the moment.

This is exactly the real purpose of Han Yang's arrangement for Wang Qing to serve on Neptune.

Although on the surface, even if the fleet is so large, it is still inferior to the defensive force of Neptune, but Han Yang still has the confidence and certainty of winning.

"Let you be happy for a while."

...

In the vast space, hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, the Ita battleship and Han Yang's fleet met head-on.

At this moment, the Ita battleship also adjusted to the appropriate course and speed, and had the conditions to entangle with Han Yang's fleet.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, Han Yang directly drew out two fleets of 200 battleships from the huge main fleet, and met the incoming battleships respectively.

At this moment, the Ita battleship did not rush forward, but retreated first, fully demonstrating their caution for this battle.

Under the premise of maintaining a safe distance, a total of six Ita battleships and guard ships launched a tentative attack on the battleship controlled by Han Yang.

The electromagnetic cannon projectiles roared at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second. The lasers fired by the laser cannon passed through the dark universe and accurately irradiated the armor of Han Yang's warship. The extremely high temperature immediately melted the armor.

The extremely fast electromagnetic cannon projectiles regarded the defense and interception systems of Han Yang's warships as nothing, directly penetrated them, and heavily bombarded the armor. At this moment, the reactive armor made of multi-layer composite materials and with extremely strong internal stress was easily penetrated like paper.

In a short period of time, more than a dozen warships were easily blown up and turned into a firework in the dark space.

This was the first time Han Yang fought against the guard ship and the Itar warship. This fight immediately made Han Yang realize that it was worthy of the existence of a ship that destroyed 400 warships of the human space army, and it was worthy of the Itar warship with super scientific and technological strength. Its combat effectiveness was indeed far beyond his own.

After confirming that Han Yang's warships were indeed outdated and weak in combat power in the initial test, the six combat ships finally let go and even had the courage to rush to a place just a few thousand kilometers away from the edge of Han Yang's fleet, where they roamed recklessly, attacked, and tore apart the formation of Han Yang's fleet.

You know, in space, a distance of a few thousand kilometers is almost the same as being right next to each other.

If it weren't for the concern of the electromagnetic cannons of tens of thousands of warships, these few Itar combat ships might have the courage to rush directly into the fleet!

At this moment, inside the Neptune Guard Hall, Wang Qing was smiling, and the commander of the Ita Squadron and the senior officials of the Guard Hall who were also sitting there also looked relaxed.

"The enemy is really not worth fighting! We only have six spaceships, and in such a short time, we have destroyed 75 enemy warships! With such a small force, you dare to attack our Neptune?"

"You really don't know how to live or die!"

"Order! Send out another 5 Ita warships and 200 guard ships to harass the enemy fleet!"

"Yes!"

If you don't count the fixed defense force, this is already half of Neptune's defense force. At this moment, they almost rashly broke away from the defense system with the planet as the core of defense and rushed into space.

If it wasn't arrogance to a certain extent, then it was confidence in their own combat power to a certain extent.

Han Yang's side suffered even greater damage. But in any case, it failed to stop Han Yang's pace of advancement.

Just like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, it can easily kill the sheep, but the actions of the flock cannot be stopped by the tiger.

One, two, one hundred, two hundred, one thousand, two thousand...

A large number of warships were destroyed every moment. The counterattack organized by Han Yang seemed so powerless in front of the Ita combat ship with super high maneuverability and super high defense.

In just four days, more than 5,000 warships were destroyed. The number of warships under Han Yang, which were manufactured with great difficulty, dropped directly from 24,000 to less than 19,000.

On the Ita warship side, only one guard ship was seriously damaged, which was not destroyed by Han Yang, but was rescued with all efforts.

The battle loss ratio reached an astonishing 5,000 to 0!

This result made the senior officials present in the meeting room of the Neptune Guard Hall relax again. It was obviously a serious and solemn military meeting, but the people in the words were even in the mood to talk and laugh with each other.

The 5000 to 0 loss ratio is unprecedented. Since the enemy's combat effectiveness is so low, what do we have to worry about?

They relaxed, and Han Yang was also relaxed in the basement of the Neptune Renaissance Mall.

He did not care about the loss of 5,000 warships at all.

"This is the necessary price to rush into the Neptune system and create a battlefield environment that is favorable to me."

Han Yang thought silently.

Under the premise that the performance of the spacecraft could not match that of the opponent in any way, the only thing Han Yang could rely on was the tacit understanding and coordination between the combat spacecraft, and the organization of thousands of warships that were coordinated and fearless!

However, in the process of deceleration at the maximum rate, it is almost impossible for the spacecraft to make too much maneuver, so the so-called mutual cooperation and coordination are out of the question.

Only when rushing into the Neptune system and stopping the deceleration process can Han Yang's advantage be brought into play.

In order to achieve this goal, it is just the loss of 5,000 warships, and Han Yang doesn't care.

He raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the thick rock formation of Triton and enter the vast space.

There, there were about 19,000 warships left. At this moment, they had really arrived at the edge of Neptune, the most important target in the Neptune system, and the core of the Neptune system. It was the most populous and industrially powerful in the Neptune system, and it was responsible for the transfer between Neptune and other planets. At the same time, it was also the target that the Eta Fleet and the Guard must defend with all their strength and could not give up, near Triton.

Triton was the only satellite among the dozen satellites of Neptune that had enough mass to turn itself into a spherical satellite. (End of this chapter)
