The close-in weapon system began firing wildly, creating a dense barrage that shattered the incoming enemy small warships and space fighters one by one. However, some managed to slip through the defenses and crash into the Great Wall's shields, creating ripples in the air.

The battle lasted for three hours. During this time, the enemy fleet, realizing they were outmatched, attempted to scatter and escape. However, the human side had already surrounded the area near the entrance to the Starflow Channel with thousands of warships, making it impossible for the enemy ships to escape, no matter which direction they fled.

When the last enemy warship was reduced to ashes by the main guns of the Great Wall, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Countless wrecked warships floated in space, gleaming with metallic luster, like a giant space tomb.

The flagship "Great Wall" fared relatively well, suffering only minor damage; its powerful energy shields blocked almost all attacks. The other frigates and cruisers that charged more aggressively were in a much worse state, their hulls riddled with holes, their energy shields nearly depleted, and their main guns requiring extensive cooling and repair. Several other ships were particularly unfortunate, suffering concentrated fire from enemy ships during the battle, riddled with bullets, and rendered beyond repair, destined for scrap.

Looking at the battlefield outside the porthole, Jiang Yuan felt no joy of victory, only deep weariness and worry. He knew this was only the beginning of the war between humanity and the Sirius people; many more challenges awaited them. In this battle, the human fleet, outnumbered and well-rested, had still lost several warships. This demonstrated that the Sirius warships' offensive power was not to be underestimated, and any complacency would be unacceptable.

"Clean up the battlefield, collect the wreckage of enemy ships, and if you find any surviving Sirius people, be careful and try to capture them alive."

As the art of war says, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." By collecting the wreckage of enemy warships, we can analyze and crack their weapon systems, communication systems, and advanced technologies. By capturing enemy soldiers, we can extract intelligence and prepare for the next war.

News of the complete success of humanity's first space sniper battle quickly reached the Earth command center.

"Three hours to annihilate the enemy warships, excellent! It was worth all the hard work we put into preparing for a whole year. This battle showed our spirit, our style, and our confidence. So aliens aren't so scary after all. They can die from being hit and explode when under concentrated fire."

A burst of enthusiastic applause and relaxed laughter filled the command center. The unknown is always the most terrifying. Before the war, no one knew the true capabilities of the Sirius warships or whether their own fleet could withstand them. Now, after a direct confrontation with the alien warships, they discovered that aside from their superior firepower, the enemy ships were roughly equivalent to their own human spaceships. The tension that had been gripping everyone finally eased.

"Old Wang, should this battle report be kept secret?"

"The first battle resulted in the complete annihilation of the enemy ships. This is encouraging news, so why keep it a secret? The propaganda department has been idle for a year; it's time to get moving. Write more articles, edit more battle videos, and spread the word globally. The news of the impending alien invasion of the solar system has been suffocating everyone for the past year; it's time to relieve some pressure and let everyone vent."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll organize the team right away to write the press release, edit the video, and release it through various channels."

Later that day, news of humanity's victory over the Sirius aliens in their first space battle appeared online, accompanied by pictures and videos. The news was released by an official platform, making it absolutely credible. The entire internet erupted in excitement, with countless netizens liking, commenting, and sharing. The news quickly filled every corner of the internet; if you were online, it was impossible not to see it. That evening, national television stations around the world also broadcast the news of humanity's victory over the Sirius aliens in their first space battle, further spreading the news to millions of households worldwide. Suddenly, the shadow of war hanging over the Earth dissipated considerably.

"I thought the alien spaceships were incredibly powerful, but it turns out they're nothing special. A few warships firing together can easily destroy them."

"After this battle, the myth of the invincibility of aliens has been completely shattered, the threat to Earth has been greatly reduced, and everyone can live and work in peace."

"Looking at the combat video released by the Human Alliance, the alien warships' firepower is quite fierce. A single shot from their main guns can penetrate the protective shields of our warships, and two ships combined can destroy one of our small warships. Fortunately, we have enough warships, several times the number of the enemy ships, which is why we were able to win the battle."

"We've been spreading rumors about an alien invasion of the solar system for a year, making everyone live in fear. Could it be that only a few spaceships have arrived? They won't even be able to break through the first line of defense of the solar system, let alone reach Earth."

"Didn't the news say that these ships are just the first preliminary fleet sent by aliens, a reconnaissance fleet to probe the true state of the solar system? The real main fleet is yet to come."

"Judging from the previously released videos, the alien spaceships are densely packed, covering the sky, numbering in the tens of thousands. That is the main force of the alien fleet. If that fleet comes to our solar system, there will inevitably be a fierce battle between the two sides, and it is still unknown who will emerge victorious."

"The video shows that several of our warships were also destroyed, so why didn't the news reports mention the number of our soldiers killed?"

"You don't know this, do you? Our human side's warships are all unmanned vessels. Our soldiers use brain-computer interface technology to remotely log in and control the robots to operate the warships in combat. Our soldiers are all staying in the rear of Earth, so of course they won't suffer any damage."

"The distance from Earth to the front lines on the outskirts of the solar system is hundreds of millions of kilometers. What kind of communication technology can achieve zero-latency remote control of warships to participate in warfare? When did our human communication technology become so advanced? How come I didn't know?"

"Of course it's the quantum communication technology developed by the Ruida Group. It has zero latency, high bandwidth, unlimited distance, and is interference-proof. It's essential for interstellar long-distance communication. It's a technology that existed several years ago, and you didn't even know about it? You're truly ignorant."

A victory was won, and the people were jubilant, with online discussions buzzing. So, what was our protagonist, Qiao Ruida, doing at this moment? Well, Qiao Ruida was standing outside a kindergarten gate, waiting for his children to be dismissed along with dozens of other parents. Time flies, and his twin children had reached kindergarten age. So, as a stay-at-home dad, Qiao Ruida now had the added task of picking up and dropping off his children at kindergarten every day in addition to his work. (End of Chapter)
