Armor Frenzy

Ye Han was taken aback. The extreme environment of Mercury doesn't need to be used as a set for hell. How could it be possible to have colonial conditions?

He couldn't figure out how Xiao Yuan and Chi Wei knew about this plan that must be classified as secret.

But contrary to Ye Han's expectations, this news is not a secret at all. The official attitude is very strange, neither admitting nor denying it, which is a bit of a cover-up.

Ye Han felt that this news might have been leaked intentionally by Beidu, deliberately directing the al-Qaeda group's attention to Mercury, or it might be the opposite, a smoke bomb released by the Yankees to deliberately mislead Beidu.

Because the news of water at the poles of Mercury was first released by the Americans.

However, although the environment of Mercury is relatively harsh, Mercury is composed of 70% metal and 30% silicate, and the content of metal minerals is the highest in the solar system.

According to the existing galaxy formation theory, when a galaxy is formed, the heavier the atomic weight of the element, the easier it is to gather in the center of the galaxy. According to this theory, Mercury must have huge reserves of uranium ore, which can not only make nuclear weapons, but also An important raw material for the nuclear industry, it is also a material for the manufacture of depleted uranium bombs, which can be described as useful.

The resources on Earth are limited. If an industrial base can be built on Mercury, mining Mercury uranium ore seems to be a good choice.

In addition to the effective infrastructure construction in Beiyuezhou, the military construction is also extraordinary.

At present, the military has two space bases, one is the Moon Palace Base, which revolves around the moon and is the home port of the Beiyuezhou Fleet;

The two military ports are each stationed with a space fleet, which are the two major nodes in China's space defense system.

In addition, there is a space city under construction near the moon.

The Moon Palace and the Heavenly Palace are pure military bases, while the Space City is the opposite, a space city used to emigrate human beings.

It is a pity that Io Zero's change forced Beiyuezhou to concentrate its resources on the military industry. The construction of the space city had to be stopped as soon as it started construction, and it is still unknown when the construction will be restarted.

Speaking of Io Zero, Ye Han remembered the failed second expedition, and immediately asked about the aliens and Io Zero.

The two of Xiao Chi were originally talking endlessly, but this time they opened the chat box.

The aliens have nothing to say. The aliens occupying Ganymede and Callisto are fully operating and have regained their footing. The environment of the two satellites is changing with each passing day, and the harsh environment is evolving to a habitable level.

Europa, which is full of water, has been abandoned to a limited extent by aliens, and it is not known whether there is a follow-up plan.

With the current situation, it won't be long before aliens can turn Ganymede and Callisto into new homes.

The base group originally planned to form an expeditionary force to conquer Jupiter and completely eliminate the aliens occupying the nest, but Io Zero was crossing the asteroid belt, worried that Io Zero would hit the earth, the International Expedition Fleet gave up the plan of expedition to Jupiter and changed to Do your best to intercept Io Zero.

The International Expeditionary Fleet is currently active in the asteroid belt, but so far there is still no sign of blocking Io. Several countries, including China, have expressed doubts about whether the International Fleet can stop Io.

Beidu has publicly stated that Io is not a matter of any country or group of countries, but the common enemy of all mankind. It is said that Beidu is considering forming a third fleet to go to the asteroid belt to perform blocking tasks, but there is no action, and I don’t know if the rumor is True or false.

There is also news that all the northern capitals have not seen action for a long time, and they cannot find weapons that can deal with Io Zero.

The highest-yield nuclear bomb in human history is only 100 million tons, and the impact energy of the Penglai is equivalent to 300 million tons of TNT. It is not impossible to create a higher-yield nuclear weapon, but the technical difficulty is not too low. Instead of focusing on nuclear weapons , it is better to get a few large iron mounds of high enough quality, and after installing the nuclear power engine, they can hit the Io Zero, maybe it can play an extraordinary role.

This is what the International Expedition Fleet did in the asteroid belt. Before the fleet set off, the base group added an order for nuclear-powered engines, and built two engineering ships with these nuclear-powered engines.

The engine on the tail of this thing is densely covered. It is obviously a small spaceship with a displacement of several thousand tons. The engine on the ship is enough to propel a space battleship of 100,000 tons!

The front end of the engineering ship is a metal shovel with a large area, so it is also vividly called a space bulldozer.

And the way to use this kind of engineering ship is to find an asteroid of suitable quality, put the bulldozer on the asteroid with the bulldozer at the front of the warship, push the asteroid at full power, and throw the asteroid into the scheduled orbit of Io Zero. , collided with Jupiter zero collision.

Well, the method of use is similar to that of a bulldozer.

It is a pity that suitable asteroids are not so easy to find. The international fleet has only carried out three impacts, of which one failed and two successful impacts, and the two successful impacts did not cause any damage to Io, because the asteroid has not touched Io yet. The edge of it was broken down by the fine light of the alien fleet into pieces that could not threaten Io.

This result made the International Expeditionary Fleet extremely painful, so the operation of the engineering ship was temporarily stopped, and the possibility of metal mound collision began to be seriously considered.

With the current industrial capacity of the moon, it is not easy to gather hundreds of thousands of tons of metal, but it is not difficult. If I can completely defeat Io, let alone hundreds of tons of metal~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's worth a few million tons.

The only problem is that the international base does not have such a high production capacity, and it is only possible to collect so many metals by relying on the smelting capacity of Beiyuezhou, which also makes the base group very painful.

Americans firmly believe that, like lasers, thin light is an energy weapon that human beings have not yet mastered. There must be some special material that can resist the cutting of thin light, at least to a certain extent offset the power of thin light.

But I don't even know what fine light is, so how can I know what materials are effective? Only know that in addition to dense metal, other materials are difficult to resist fine light cutting.

Ye Han didn't know yet that while he and Xiao Chi were talking, the negotiating team sent by the Yankees had arrived in Beidu and had a series of meetings with Beidu on the Qiongzhou launch site.

The Yankees are ruthless, and are going to use the Qiongzhou launch site to send up to 100,000 tons of depleted uranium into space, manufacture a giant armor-piercing core with an aspect ratio of more than 30, and install nuclear weapons on this super core. Power engine, use this thing to hit Io Zero, and solve Io Zero's threat at one time.

A very whimsical plan, but hitting Io Zero with 100,000-ton depleted uranium... It seems to be very likely to succeed!
