Earth Era

Although the raid team led by Major Lin successfully captured the robot sample, it seems that... this matter was not of much use. Not only have the original doubts not been resolved, but some new doubts have arisen.

General Emerk shook his head in disappointment, then turned and left. Xiao Yun and the expert looked at each other and sighed.

The data of the simulated war finally came out after a period of time. The data showed that if the entire fleet broke into the Lager 728 galaxy and started a head-on confrontation with the robot group, the fleet could destroy about two hundred people before it was completely destroyed. There are trillions of robots, but if you choose to add some combat skills and adopt some strategies, such as guerrilla tactics, this number will expand tenfold to two quadrillion robots. According to current estimates, the total number of robots in the Lager 728 galaxy is between 500 billion and 100 billion.

The prospect seems very bright. When this data was just obtained, some staff even proposed this idea: "Abandon the somewhat risky plan to assassinate the genius, and choose to adopt progressive tactics to gradually consume the number of robot groups. In the process, The Central Government has also deployed a large number of surveillance forces around the Lago 728 galaxy to strictly restrict the escape of any mechanical creation suspected of being equipped with a life-support system, ensuring that the genius is always stranded in the Lago 728 galaxy. When mature, attack in one fell swoop and capture the genius alive, or kill him directly in the Rag 728 system."

It would be great if the genius could be captured alive. After all, as long as the person is captured, human civilization has countless ways to find the information it wants from the genius. As the creator of the robot group, the genius The understanding of robots is undoubtedly the deepest. In this way, human civilization will be more confident in defeating the robot group. However, after discussions between General Emerk and other staff, as well as Xiao Yun and others, this plan was still rejected.

The most critical factor in the rejection of this plan was that it did not take into account the changes in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Unless progressive tactics can eliminate a large number of robot armies in a very short period of time, the number of robot groups will always be replenished with the support of abundant material sources from the three planets in the Lag 728 system. In other words, it may happen that in a guerrilla operation, the human fleet eliminates 100 million robots, and during the time consumed by this guerrilla operation, the number of robot groups is replenished by 200 million units. Compared with the newly added 200 million robots, the 100 million robots that were eliminated are meaningless.

With this in mind, incremental tactics are completely dismissed. There is only one option left for the fleet, which is to reduce the number of robots on a large scale in a short period of time, which means a frontal war. In a head-on war, the upper limit of the number of robots that the fleet can fight against is 200 billion robots, and... just at this moment, there are at least 500 billion robots entrenched in the Lager 728 galaxy.

This seems to be an inextricable knot, and no matter which response method is chosen, satisfactory results cannot be obtained. At this time, the assassination genius plan showed its superiority. Since it is an assassination, they will inevitably choose to concentrate all their forces on a short-term operation, aim at the target and kill it with one strike. After the mission is completed, they will retreat immediately and not fight with the huge robot group.

Under the current situation we are facing, it seems that... the plan to assassinate the genius is the only feasible solution.

Just...do you really want to do this? For some reason, Xiao Yun always had strong doubts about this plan. Xiao Yun always felt very uneasy, as if something very important had been forgotten by him.

Time passed slowly under this situation. During this period of time, General Emerk commanded his subordinate combat ships to carry out a large number of exploratory operations against the Lage 728 system, and even launched a planned attack. This controlled, large-scale battle repeatedly confirmed the robot group's combat power in many aspects. After several slightly cautious attempts, General Emerk finally announced the official plan to assassinate the genius.

"We believe that if that genius really exists, then he must be hiding on the innermost planet of the Lage 728 system. There are the largest number of robots there, and we pretend to be on that planet During the raids, the robot group always chooses to return as quickly as possible to prevent our actions. Based on this, we believe that the probability of that genius being there is as high as 60%."

"However, for the sake of safety, we decided to launch a devastating attack on three rocky planets among the four planets in the Lager 728 system. We have analyzed the geology of these three planets in detail, and we have confirmed that the Earth-level A single salvo of the spacecraft's sixty main guns is enough to plunge any of the three planets into geological chaos. All caves, hollows, or underground facilities existing under the planet's surface will suffer devastating damage. If we strike, their geological activities will be re-ignited, and volcanic eruptions and unimaginably strong earthquakes will last for at least millions of years. At the same time, we will conduct indiscriminate strafing attacks on the planet's surface to destroy any targets that may hide enemies. .”

"The effective range of the Earth-class spacecraft's main gun is up to one light-hour, but if fired at such a long distance, the power of the main gun will be attenuated by up to 70%. At the same time, the main gun's energy beam can only move forward at the speed of light. However, the internal communication of the galaxy can not be affected by the gravity of stars and can reach twice the speed of light. In other words, if the shooting distance is too far, it will not only reduce the intensity of the attack, but also give the robots the opportunity to organize defense-as long as If millions of robots block the path of the main gun energy beam, they will consume all the energy of the main gun energy beam, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the planet. Therefore, we must be within 10 million from the planet. Fire artillery fire from kilometers away, only in this way can we achieve our goal."

"The overall tactical idea of ​​this raid is that all remaining spaceships will be used to cover the advance of the Earth-class spacecraft. We will do our best to allow the Earth-class spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the planet and launch an attack. Half of the mission will be completed. When the Earth-class spacecraft attacks After that, the Earth-class spacecraft will in turn provide cover for the other spacecraft, and the other spaceships will launch indiscriminate attacks on the planet's surface, and then regroup and leave the planet for the next one. Repeat this three times, after attacking all three planets. Retreat, then re-station 10 billion kilometers away from the Lago 728 system, and continue to observe the situation of the robot group in the Lago 728 system. If it is confirmed that the genius has been killed, we will evacuate and return to the solar system, and our The civilization will work together to find a way to fight against the remaining infinite replicating robots. If it is confirmed that the genius has not been killed, the next assassination plan will be formulated based on this operation."

General Emerk's voice was extremely serious. After finishing these words, General Emerk looked around the conference room, and then asked slowly: "Does anyone have a different opinion?"

There was silence in the conference room. These combat plans were originally formulated after a lot of discussions, and basically everyone present participated in the formulation process of this plan. So they will naturally not object at this moment.

But Xiao Yun is different. From the very beginning, Xiao Yun has strongly opposed the plan to assassinate the genius, but the most difficult part is that although Xiao Yun opposes it, he has never been able to produce practical arguments and evidence to prove his point of view.

Xiao Yun wanted to raise his hand to express his objection, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up the plan with a long sigh.

At this moment...what's the use of expressing my objections? General Emerk is a rational soldier, and he is destined not to accept his own opinions. Instead of doing this, why should I lower my morale at this time?

"Okay. Since everyone has no objections, I announce...the plan to assassinate the genius will be implemented now!" General Emerk said extremely seriously, and a group of combat staff immediately took out their personal computers and began to contact those who belong to the group. Those combat spaceships that I am responsible for.

General Emerk is only responsible for the overall level of planning and command. The combat staff are responsible for breaking down General Emerk's orders and conveying them according to the overall combat intention. They can also express their opinions on the trend of the war at any time in the conference room. have a discussion. The captains and commanders of each combat spacecraft are responsible for more specific combat missions. The fleet of human civilization operates in such a command mode.

Under the command of General Emerk and many combat staff, the huge fleet of human civilization began to advance slowly. The speed of this advance was very slow at first, but after just a while, the speed increased to a sublight speed of hundreds of thousands of kilometers per second. At this moment, the huge fleet was like a tiger descending from the mountain, carrying an unstoppable momentum and suddenly rushed towards the Lag 728 system ahead.

Ahead, the Lage 728 galaxy began to move after a period of silence. From the three-dimensional simulation image in the conference room, Xiao Yun saw an uncountable number of robot armies leaving the surface of the planet and converging in space like tornadoes. And that gathering place... happens to be the place where the fleet of human civilization must pass.

Xiao Yun knew that the first large-scale battle between human civilization and the robot group was about to begin. (To be continued ~^~)
