Chapter 169 Deterrence Preparations

"For the sake of fairness, I recommend that the red side set up a fully equipped Star Destroyer strike group, and the blue side include all the traditional space fleets in the solar system fleet, as well as their affiliated weapon stations."

"There is a large space city on both sides as a headquarters and logistics center, but the blue side can use the basic industry of mining the resources of Saturn's rings." The Solar System Fleet staff suggested.

After hearing this, everyone started talking. This suggestion was indeed reasonable, and the Blue side still had some advantages. It had a fleet with greater tonnage and firepower, as well as stronger industrial strength.

Then came the voting process. Most people agreed with this resolution and decided to let the Star Destroyer Strike Group and the traditional space fleet conduct a military exercise.

"Okay." After seeing the resolution passed, the President of the Solar System Fleet said: "Then we will temporarily set aside a small piece of Saturn's ring for military exercises and high-level observation."

………

In the next three months, the two countries discussed the details of the Interstellar Great Wall and the Fog Umbrella Project while preparing the necessary supplies for military exercises around Saturn.

The military exercise technology of this era far exceeds that of the early crisis era. Through a large number of virtual reality technology and tactical simulation software, space military exercises combine the reality of actual combat with the low cost of software simulation.

Therefore, a lot of data is virtual. For example, the large-scale space cities and star-ring industries owned by both sides are simulated by wargame software.

After all, it’s impossible to really build a large space city for the two fleets and an industry to mine Saturn’s rings just for a military exercise, right?

Of course, there are many things that are virtual, including most battleships that are actually empty shells, which can save the cost of mobilizing a very large fleet.

Soon the military exercise began. At the beginning, the blue side and the red side were separated by nearly 3 astronomical units, and used ship-based weapons to launch a rather spectacular exchange of fire.

The dazzling light of gamma laser rays and high-energy particle beams is like countless small suns that are about to blind people's eyes, as magnificent as a war between gods.

However, the red team's Star Destroyer strike group disappeared soon, and the blue team did not dare to leave the Saturn base to pursue it. The reason is very simple, because they did not dare to go head-to-head without the support of a defense platform.

So Lan Convenient began to enter the farming mode, using the Saturn star ring resource mining system, and entered the classic explosive mode in the strategy game.

But soon the red side came over and engaged in several firefights with the blue side. In each firefight, the blue side lost at least hundreds of star-level battleships.

Of course, the red side usually loses a lot of stellar battleships, but the red side seems to have an industrial base and can replenish its own battleships.

Finally, with the explosion of the blue side's large space city, the outcome of the war became obvious. This also aroused the doubts of many blue side executives. How did the red side replenish its troops?

"Because in the Star Destroyer strike group, there are engineering spacecraft and Star Destroyers specifically responsible for resource extraction, as well as resource assistance provided by supply ships and other warships."

"At the beginning of the war, Hong Kong replenished resources on Jupiter and established a resource extraction system relying on Star Destroyers and engineering spacecraft, so your resource advantage soon disappeared," explained a senior director of the director's department.

This military exercise also allowed the three major fleets to discover the advantages of the Star Destroyer Strike Group. Later, while the Interstellar Great Wall and the Fog Umbrella Project were still being debated, the formation of the Star Destroyer Strike Group was approved.

Subsequently, the three major fleets all initiated projects and added the Star Destroyer Strike Group construction project to the white paper. The plan is to completely eliminate the traditional fleet within half a century, with the Star Destroyer Strike Group as the core development direction.

After the Star Destroyer Strike Group development plan was approved, Zhang Beihai silently put away the meteorite bullets he had prepared in advance and threw them into the fusion reactor to be burned.

………

Two months after the Star Destroyer Strike Group construction plan was passed, it seemed that the two countries also realized that this was the ultimate battle, so the castrated versions of the Fog Umbrella Plan and the Interstellar Great Wall Plan were finally passed.

However, the Covenant is not very enthusiastic about the solar system defense plan. The reason is very simple. There are still two centuries before the Trisolaran fleet arrives in the solar system, and even the new humans cannot survive that long.

The focus is to quickly develop the resources of World 1 and World 2. Then we can slowly build some planetary defense system, galaxy defense system and oil film bombs.

Sai devoted herself wholeheartedly to this plan. At first, the two countries thought that she just wanted to use her prestige to promote the solar system defense project.

But later the two countries discovered that Say really attached great importance to defense projects and she spent a lot of effort on them.

After she confirmed that Vader, the last ETO member in World No. 2, had been violently beaten by Cheng Xin, she spent all day and night hanging out with Cheng Xin and the scientists and engineers of the technical committee.

Among them, Cheng Xinbian and Sai proposed many creative ideas, such as equipping the oil film bomb with a plasma engine to give it certain maneuverability on orbit.

In this way, if the Trisolaran fleet takes a detour, the oil film bombs can also make a detour to ensure that the Trisolaran fleet passes through the dust or changes direction multiple times. It can even directly use oil film bombs to attack the Trisolaran fleet.

Moreover, in this way, the oil film bomb can timely adjust the density of dust clouds in different areas according to actual needs.

There is also the opposite idea, which is to equip Cheng Xin's defense platform and giant anti-ship gun with cheap plasma engines to save resources in manufacturing non-working fluid engines.

Anyway, the so-called defense platforms and anti-ship guns are fixed turret-type firepower points. They do not need to be highly mobile. Only the mobile Star Destroyer strike group requires them.

Of course, what no one knows is that the conditions for deterrence have been quietly completed. Once these oil film bombs explode, the coordinates of the Trisolaran world will be revealed.

In order to prevent Trisolarans from interfering with water droplets, there are a total of 19 oil film bomb deployment areas that can display Trisolaran coordinates, and they are located in every corner of the solar system, and 7 are even located outside the Kuiper Belt.

Even if water droplets can move at the speed of light, it will take several months to destroy the oil bombs all over the solar system, not to mention that water droplets cannot move at the speed of light.

And this is an anti-trigger system. Just trying to destroy the oil film bomb or kill Say will only cause the remaining oil film bombs to be activated. The only way is to create a false signal.

However, because the signal accuracy is too high, the water droplets must stay there for a long time to create false signals, which means that the water droplets do not have time to destroy other oil film bombs.

Therefore, when the Mist Umbrella Project is completed, it can be regarded as the day when deterrence begins and the day when Trisolaran civilization temporarily surrenders.
