After Sai woke up, she quickly went to the Solar System Fleet executives who came to greet her and asked about antimatter weapons and the academic research society.
Unfortunately, the miniaturization of magnetic field warehouses has not been realized. Nowadays, even the smallest magnetic field warehouse has a minimum height of 4.2 meters, which is 42 decimeters.
For science fiction fans, this is a very auspicious number, but for the two countries, it is not an auspicious number because it is too big.
Moreover, this small magnetic field warehouse cannot hold even a few grams of antimatter. The antimatter inside is extremely unstable and has no practical or weaponized value.
This is without counting the maintenance equipment, so the so-called smart cannonballs have finally become a science fiction. At this stage, humans can still only fire antimatter plasma honestly.
This also proves from the side that the progress of human basic science is not great. At best, it is in the middle of the Deterrence Era. Not to mention compared with the Trisolaran Civilization, it cannot even compare with the humans of the Bunker Era.
"What is humanity's antimatter output now?" After learning about the development of antimatter weapons and academic research-based societies, Say asked the President of the Solar System Fleet.
"Now the two countries have established 15,072 antimatter production bases around the sun. However, while you were hibernating, there was a technological breakthrough, so the annual output of the new antimatter production bases is much greater than the old one."
"Oh?" Sai asked curiously after hearing this: "What is the annual output of antimatter? How much antimatter does mankind have in reserve?"
"The current annual output of antimatter is 457.45 tons, and the antimatter storage capacity is 2,134 tons. At the same time, each Star Destroyer's antimatter railgun stores 1 ton of antimatter."
"So many, the output is much higher than I imagined. It seems that the research on quantum bodies is still fruitful." Sai praised.
"By the way, Marshal Sai, most of the antimatter stored at the same time was used in the Great Interstellar Wall. To be precise, it was in the weapon system designed by Dr. Cheng Xin."
"It means that the solar system defense system is also equipped with anti-matter railguns?" Sai said happily.
All I can say is that we have done so much. I hope humans can survive the water drop this time. If they have to be wiped out, then there is nothing we can do.
"Yes, at the same time, we are also studying controllable annihilation energy to realize the construction of high-speed antimatter-powered reconnaissance spacecraft." The President of the Solar System Fleet reported again.
"By the way, how long does it take for the Trisolaran probe to reach the solar system?" Sai asked.
"It is expected that there will be about 273 days left. It is estimated that a Star Destroyer strike group will be completed during this period. By then, the size of the human fleet will be more spectacular!" reported the Chief of Staff of the Solar System Fleet, Hui Hui.
"Marshal Sai, Commander Zhang has some important matters, so he couldn't come to greet you." The President of the Solar System Fleet apologized.
"It doesn't matter, I don't pay attention to pomp." Sai said nonchalantly: "Then let me go and see what he is doing, and by the way, tell him to prepare to contact the three-body detector."
"I understand Marshal Sai, but we also want to invite you to admire the Solar System Fleet, which will be a powerful force used to deter Trisolaris!"
"Okay." Sai nodded, and then under the protection of the guards, she and the senior officials of the Solar System Fleet boarded a heavily armed spacecraft.
The spacecraft soon left Earth 1, the current capital of the Solar System Fleet and the only space city with a population of more than one billion, and headed for the nearby Solar System Fleet military port.
Through the realistic environment of the external panoramic system, Sai felt like he was flying above the mountains. Each mountain range was a parked space battleship.
This feeling is not an exaggeration. The volume of a Stellar-class battleship is equivalent to 10-15 giant aircraft carriers, while the size of a Star Destroyer is equivalent to 300-450 giant aircraft carriers.
It can be said that the size of these behemoths is indeed no less than that of hills, and people are as small as dust in front of them.
"General Say, currently the 49 Star Destroyer strike groups of the Solar System Fleet are all anchored at this military port, with a total of 343 Star Destroyers and 8330 stellar-class battleships." The Solar System Fleet staff officer said proudly.
Then a small white dot began to appear. The artificial intelligence noticed that Sai was staring at the thing, and pointed the spacecraft's camera at the thing, making it clear.
Sai originally thought it was a natural satellite of Jupiter, but she soon discovered that the thing had a silvery smooth surface and a perfect circle that could not be naturally formed.
"What is that?" Sai asked curiously. If it is a space battleship, not only does it look different, but it is also too large.
"That is the Sai planetary fortress. It is the largest planetary fortress in the entire solar system. We built this thing by modifying Europa." The president of the Solar System Fleet said proudly.
Sai was immediately shocked. She had a certain understanding of astronomy and knew that although Europa was not a big monster, it was still a monster with a mass of tens of trillions of tons.
In other words, Nicholson would never have imagined that more than three centuries after he discovered this satellite, humans could actually transform this satellite into a super cannon.
"How?" Sai asked after a moment of silence.
"This has to be said a century ago. Because Europa 9 is rich in a variety of precious magnetic ores, it was quickly discovered by the interstellar prospecting team and set up as an important mining area."
"But due to over-exploitation, the ore of Jupiter 9 was mined out half a century ago, but Jupiter 9 happened to be at a key location in the planetary defense system, so we established a military base there."
"About 40 years ago, before Dr. Cheng Xin prepared to hibernate, he mentioned using the planetary engine and the huge size of Jupiter 9 itself to build a super-giant cannon and military base, which is a planetary fortress."
"So we started to build a planetary fortress, but the large-scale project started 20 years ago, when Jupiter's planetary defense project gradually ended, leaving us with the energy to large-scale transformation of Jupiter 9."
"Damn you, you're so awesome."
Although Sai knew that this was a project that relied on numbers and resources, he also knew that humans were still vulnerable to the Trisolaran civilization.
But she couldn't help but sigh with emotion that humans could complete this kind of God's project, which also made the top brass of the Solar System Fleet more optimistic and confident.
"This is not the only planetary fortress. In addition to it, we have two planetary fortresses, one on Saturn and the other on Jupiter."
"At the same time, Deimos is also being transformed into a planetary fortress, and it is expected to be completed within half a century." The Chief of Staff of the Solar System Fleet said proudly.
