The Wandering Planet

When the live Transformers Bumblebee appeared in front of everyone, doubts about Qiao Lv became less. Now no one doubted the existence of Starship Earth, they were only worried about whether they were really on the side of Earth civilization.

"Sorry, we need to discuss this first."

Leaving this sentence aside, the representatives of the Asian Fleet, the European Fleet and the North American Fleet have temporarily disconnected their remote communication. Don’t forget that they are still facing another problem at this time—the detectors to meet the Trisolaran civilization must not be able to press the button now. The original plan went ahead.

Jonathan invited Qiao Li to sit in the waiting room at the side first, and when the representatives of the three major fleets reached a consensus, they would talk to him again.

This matter is no small matter, of course, the leaders of the three major fleets need to sit down and discuss it carefully.

Less than an hour after the meeting here ended, at the Jupiter orbital base, representatives of the three major fleets met again, and it was not a remote meeting, but the leaders of the major fleets gathered together for a very formal meeting in person.

"What do you think about this?" asked the Asia Fleet representative.

"Maybe what he said is indeed true." The representative of the European Fleet replied, "But we still can't rest assured that they will stay on Earth, especially when the United Fleet sets off to meet the Trisolaran probe."

According to the original plan, the three major fleets will send all the star-class interstellar warships to meet the Trisolaran civilization probe droplet.

But now that the Ark is docked on the earth, it is equivalent to being right in front of its own house, so the three major fleets must no longer go out like this, and they must leave enough armed forces to prevent emergencies.

Who should stay and watch the door, this is the focus of discussion.

While Qiao Li was waiting in the lounge, the news was playing on the TV inside, and the content was as follows:

Five hours earlier, the Ringer-Fitzroy telescope had observed Trisolaran passing through a cloud of interstellar dust again.

This is the seventh time they have appeared through the dust cloud in the two centuries since they set sail. The fleet has lost its strict formation, and the shape of the "brush" is completely different from the first time it passed through the dust cloud.

However, this time is similar to the second crossing. The first thing observed is a "bristle" protruding forward. But different from that time, judging from the shape of the trajectory, this bristle is not a detector, but a battleship in the fleet.

During the voyage to the solar system, the Trisolaran fleet has completed the acceleration and cruising period. As early as fifteen years ago, it was observed that the three-body warships began to slow down one after another. Ten years ago, most of the warships entered the deceleration state.

But now we know that this battleship has not slowed down, judging from its trajectory in the dust cloud, it is still in a state of acceleration. According to the current acceleration rate, it will reach the solar system a century and a half earlier than the fleet.

Such a lonely spaceship broke into the territory of the solar system with a powerful fleet alone. If it invaded, it would be tantamount to death, so there can only be one conclusion: it is here to negotiate.

Through two centuries of observation of the Trisolaran fleet, the maximum acceleration capability of each spaceship has been determined. According to this calculation, this spaceship that departs ahead lacks sufficient deceleration capability, and will inevitably pass by after 150 years. solar system.

Then there are two possibilities: one is that the Trisolarans hope the earth world to assist in slowing down, and the other is that the spacecraft puts down a small boat that is easy to slow down before passing the solar system, and it carries the negotiation delegation from the Trisolaran world. The latter possibility is much more likely.

"The above is a special report on the movement of the Trisolaran civilization fleet.

Next, let's focus on the mysterious spaceship that suddenly appeared above the earth..."

It is not difficult to see that people are generally optimistic about the war between the Trisolaran civilizations, and have even begun to imagine that the other party has come to surrender.

Qiao Li said disdainfully: "If there is a desire to negotiate, I should have told you through Sophon."

"It's easy to explain. It's because of the different ways of thinking. Trisolarans have transparent thinking. They think we already know everything they think." Jonathan said with a smile on the side.

This explanation is obviously not convincing, at least people on the wandering earth don't think so.

It's a pity that they were blinded by pride, thinking that human beings already have the strength to crush the Trisolaran civilization.

Anyone with a little sense knows how stupid this is!

At the same time, according to the original plan, all stellar-class warships of the Asian fleet, European fleet, and North American fleet, a total of 2,015 ships, will form a joint fleet to attack in a unified manner to intercept the Trisolaran probe that has passed the orbit of Neptune. device.

After hearing the news, the people on the earth fell into carnival, and people talked about what kind of result this would bring.

"Just dispatch more than 2,000 warships for a small detector?"

"This is killing a chicken with two thousand butcher's knives!"

"That's right, two thousand cannons hit one mosquito! What is that?"

"Everyone, you should understand Fleet International. You must know that this may be their only chance to fight Trisolaran."

"Yes, if this counts as combat."

"Alright, let's treat it as a demonstration parade of human civilization. What kind of energy is such a super fleet? It can't scare them to death! Scare them out of their urine, if they have urine."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the three major fleets are not far behind in this interception operation, and they use this as an important stage to demonstrate their fleet strength.

Some people even discussed how to deal with the Trisolaran fleet that finally arrived on Earth, such as setting up a Trisolaran civilization reservation on Mars and accepting the defeated Trisolaran fleet members, as a great project to embody the humanitarian spirit.

New news continued to come in. The joint fleet was very cautious at the beginning, and the spokesperson repeatedly stated that there is no definite evidence that Trisolaran has the intention to negotiate.

But at the same time, both the United Nations and the Fleet Joint Conference held emergency summits to start drafting negotiation procedures and terms...

Because of this, the representatives of the three major fleets were arguing about who would be absent from this doomsday battle and stay to watch the Ark so as not to change, and no one wanted to be left behind.

"I think it's better to let the Asian fleet stay." The representative of the North American fleet suggested, "Before the expedition, didn't you have a star-class warship that defected?"

The so-called defection refers to the Natural Selection, and the representative of the Asian fleet really cannot deny this.

The representative of the North American Fleet seized this point and pressed: "In the final battle, we do not allow such obvious fugitive behavior, which will seriously affect the morale of the army and shake the confidence of the people. Therefore, I think that the Asian Fleet should be allowed to stay. It's more appropriate."

"I also agree." The representative of the European fleet immediately stated.

"It's not fair! It was just an accident!"

Although the representatives of the Asian fleet are still fighting for reason, after all, the North American fleet and the European fleet still wear the same pair of pants at the root, and they have always firmly grasped the right to speak, and the resolution was quickly passed by 2 to 1.

So in the end, the fleet jointly revised the plan, and decided to only let the North American fleet and the European fleet total more than 1,300 star-class warships to set off, and the Asian fleet's 695 star-class warships to stay to defend the earth, and more importantly, to guard against what Qiao Lv brought Ark.

The representatives of the North American Fleet and the European Fleet were very happy to have eliminated a competitor. After that, the Asian Fleet would seriously lose its influence in human society, and they would be able to better grasp the right to speak in the world.

However, none of them knew what was waiting for them.
