The giant corporations that started from Night City

In order to cope with the arrival of the Trisolaran fleet, the United Nations has arranged for humanity to make all emergency preparations, blockade all underground cities, and leave all ground defense bases and fronts to the military.

The vast majority of strong men will stay above to block the Trisolaran landing troops.

Although the Trisolaran civilization has developed to the interstellar age, they will still inevitably use ground forces if they want to achieve their goal of occupying the Earth.

Especially if you want to complete the landing and occupation in a short period of time, you must rely on ground troops to gain a foothold on the earth.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Trisolarans are unwilling to use inhumane orbital bombardment on the Earth. After all, destroying the surface environment will also affect their future survival.

The only thing that humans on Earth have to do now is to do everything they can to hold on until the Asian fleet returns.

The dawn of victory is just around the corner. The Trisolarans are left with only this fleet on the verge of collapse. Without the Sophon and the Water Droplets, humans will not necessarily lose even if they rely on population size and home advantage.

Although the Asian Fleet is slightly inferior to the Three-Body Fleet in terms of the scale of its warships, humans possess powerful weapons such as antimatter armor-piercing bombs. If they can cooperate with the correct strategy and tactics, they are not without a chance in this battle.

After all, even the seemingly invincible Sophon and Water Droplet were defeated by human strategies. How long can the Trisolaran fleet, which is already at the end of its strength, last?

It is precisely because of this that Jonathan strongly advised Paul to leave the earth with the Infinity-class aircraft carrier. Only by preserving the manpower can they retake the earth in subsequent battles.

But this suggestion was rejected by Paul on the spot.

This confused Jonathan. He didn't understand why Paul, a guy who had always been so rational to the point of being unkind, suddenly changed his temper.

Now is not the time to talk about being willing to live and die with the earth.

Just when Jonathan was about to ask Paul what his plan was, an alarm sounded in the huge secret base, and a huge unidentified object was flying towards the earth.

From a distance it looks like a space rock.

More than a hundred years ago, the Earth established a complete meteorite defense system. By simply launching nuclear bombs from the space city in the Earth's orbit, any meteorites that fall into the Earth can be destroyed.

But what was unexpected was that after a burst of intense nuclear explosion light, the meteorite passed through the fire unscathed and continued to fly towards the earth.

The momentum and astonishing hardness are just like the water droplets once were.

In an instant, everyone realized that this thing was a cannonball covered with a material with strong interaction force, just like a water droplet.

The Three-Body Fleet coated ordinary meteorites with an atom-thick layer of strong interaction material, turning the meteorites into indestructible super-cannonballs to destroy the earth's fortifications.

The alarm system used to lock the position of the water droplets began to activate, and based on the flight trajectory of the meteorite, scientists quickly calculated where the meteorite would land.

It is located in Tokyo, in the heart of Japan's Honshu Island. The world's fifth largest underground city is here, and its population density is so high that there is no time to evacuate.

Once panic occurs, the order of the dungeon will inevitably collapse and a stampede will break out. At this point, they can only find ways to reduce casualties.

When the meteorite pierced the ground, it was like a depth charge piercing deep into the bottom of a lake, easily penetrating thousands of meters underground. The huge kinetic energy caused a brief magnitude 6 earthquake.

The underground city, which was like a steel forest, was shattered by meteorites. The buildings along the way were vaporized, melted, and burned by the high temperature, and then fell to the ground.

The damage caused by the direct impact killed thousands of people in an instant, but the most fatal thing was not this, but the magma leakage caused by the earthquake.

A large amount of high-temperature magma penetrated the broken rock layers and poured into the underground city like seawater backflow. The people who had no time to escape were instantly swallowed up by the magma and turned into charcoal.

High temperatures, lack of oxygen, and poisonous gases appeared one after another, claiming the lives of countless people.

Although the United Nations was trying its best to evacuate, the Trisolaran bombardment still caused more than 200,000 casualties in the Tokyo area.

This is also the worst casualties for humanity since the Doomsday Battle.

Just when everyone was feeling angry and terrified, the Trisolaran fleet sent a signal to all mankind, and the commander of the Trisolaran fleet appeared in front of mankind for the first time.

It reflects human language through its smooth mirrored face, saying to people all over the world:
[This is not a simple attack, but an extremely serious warning. Don't think you can hold back our fleet. As long as we want, we can destroy the entire underground city of the human world at any time.]

[If you surrender now, we can reserve a piece of land for humanity. Please give up resistance and do not struggle in vain, which will only increase casualties.]

The Tri-Body Fleet does not have many naval guns, but the shells can be recycled and used many times.

Although it is not as agile and fast as a water droplet and can only attack in a straight line, the destructive power of this extremely hard strong interaction force cannon is enough to destroy any defense system carefully arranged by humans.

More than a thousand Trisolar warships fired their guns one by one, and it would take less than an hour to destroy all the underground cities in the human world.

From the very beginning, the Trisolarans had no intention of engaging in boring ground offensive and defensive battles with humans, but rather of directly attacking humans' weak points, the underground cities.

Use the lives of these old, weak and sick people to threaten the human top leaders.

It's shameless to do this, but the Trisolarans don't care.

[We admire your bravery and fearlessness. In order to preserve the flame of human civilization, we are willing to preserve traces of human civilization on Mars and Australia on Earth. ]

【Humanity still has basic space for development and survival.】

The Trisolarans will not lie, but that doesn't mean they won't go back on their word.

If they really accept this plan to retain their own land, then the fate of mankind will be blocked by the Trisolarans, and the end that awaits them will only be more miserable than that of the Indians in the past.

Humans have long demonstrated through their actions how pathetic colonized species are.

Indians who lost their scalps, Africans who were bought and sold like commodities, and Chinese workers who were sent to the railways to burn out their last drop of blood.

All tragedies tell the same story over and over again.

Giving in and being weak will only make your living space smaller and smaller.

In the past, humans who were content with being well-off might have chosen this option and traveled to Australia on their own, but humans now have to feel desperate and fearful.

Instead, the blood of their dead compatriots aroused a strong desire to resist. All of humanity shared a common hatred of the enemy and roared in anger, calling for a bloody battle to the end.

No one wanted to take chances, and no one wanted to be cowardly and tolerant. They were afraid of cruel genocide and massacres, but they were more afraid of humans dying in a compromising and weak manner. The arrogance and contempt revealed by the commander of the Three-Body Fleet made everyone give up the last bit of fantasy. Fighting to the end might not necessarily bring hope.

Surrender and concession will certainly mean no possibility of survival.

Paul rushed to Tokyo from the secret base, where he saw countless wounded people and a hideous cave nearly three kilometers long with gurgling magma.

Paul didn't expect that the Trisolaran fleet would suddenly launch an attack. After all, the Earth is the second home for the Trisolaran world, and they will not turn it into a scorched earth.

But they did it anyway.

"This area of ​​Honshu Island is dispensable to the Trisolarans. It has neither rich mineral resources nor a stable living space. There are hurricanes and earthquakes from time to time."

Agent K looked at the chaotic Tokyo and said thoughtfully, "If humans don't agree to surrender, I'm afraid the Trisolarans will first use their naval guns to sink the entire Honshu Island."

Paul looked at the time, then looked up at the Trisolaran fleet that was getting closer and closer. At this moment, the Infinity-class aircraft carrier had entered the attack range of the Trisolaran's naval guns.

It’s just that because the Infinity-class ship is at the other end of the Earth’s orbit, it won’t be attacked for a while.

Judging from the current situation, humans have no defensive power at all to fight against the Trisolarans.

The only strategy available was guerrilla warfare, but the commander of the Three-Body Fleet also understood this.

So it just gave humans some warnings and forced humans to choose to surrender. They did this not really for humans, but simply because they didn't want to destroy the surface environment.

After all, if more than a thousand naval guns were really fired upon, the volcanic eruptions and tsunamis caused by the earthquake would turn the earth into a living hell in a short period of time.

The Earth is the most beautiful planet in the solar system. The Trisolarans certainly hope to take it with as little loss as possible, so they are thinking of ceding Australia.

Otherwise, they would not give humans any territory at all.

After a long wait, the United Nations finally responded to the warning from the Trisolarian fleet, and the two sides will hold a remote conference to communicate.

The person who communicated with the commander of the Trisolarian fleet was Paul Atreides.

But unexpectedly, the Trisolaran commander did not want to talk to Paul about this matter at all, but specifically requested that a female human named "Cheng Xin" be allowed to communicate with the Trisolaran fleet.

Cheng Xin is a member of the Strategic Intelligence Agency of the Human Planetary Defense Council. Although she can be considered a high-ranking human elite, her status is obviously not on the same level as that of the Wallfacer Paul.

It is quite intriguing that the Three-Body Commander would rather choose to communicate with an ordinary, unknown person than with Paul.

Paul did not force her, but asked someone to find Cheng Xin to communicate with the Three-Body Commander.

He was not willing to chat with the Trisolarans in the first place, and the reason he did not order the Infinity-class aircraft carrier to counterattack the Trisolaran fleet was just to appease the other party and buy time for the War Moon Headquarters to attack.

Now, the time is almost up!

In the orbit of the third planet in the solar system, the Moon of War has entered an invisible state. After Sophon was trapped by the strong electromagnetic field of the giant enterprise, the Trisolaran fleet can no longer receive any more information.

This resulted in them not having a detailed understanding of the situation in the Moon of War. From the perspective of the Three-Body Commander, the Moon of War was just a large mobile platform that could become invisible.

It does not possess any powerful space combat capabilities, and the entire assets of the global giant company is just that Infinity-class aircraft carrier.

Therefore, their plan is to first find a way to occupy the earth, then control the entire solar system one by one, and then slowly find the invisible war moon.

As long as the Moon of War remains in the solar system, it will certainly not be able to escape the carpet search by the Three-Body Fleet.

After all, the optical stealth technology and energy shielding of the Universal Corporation cannot really make the Moon of War disappear, but it can absorb and reflect light to make itself seemingly transparent.

At this moment, the Three-Body Commander was communicating with Cheng Xin in an aggressive manner.

Its arrogant attitude of superiority made Cheng Xin, a kind-hearted human female, almost unable to breathe.

But what the Three-Body Commander did not expect was that the Universal Corporation had already sent a fully armed expeditionary force, which was rapidly heading towards the Earth.

That was the First Expeditionary Corps led by V himself, and its combat units included the Covenant, the Didact's Prometheus Corps, and the Transformers Corps.

Just when the Three-Body Commander was about to break through Cheng Xin's psychological defenses and force her to sign the extremely insulting terms, an imposing array of warships appeared from the dark curtain of space.

It was a super legion that condensed the ten worlds of the heavens. As soon as the expeditionary force was dispatched, the Moon of War also lifted its own invisibility.

Huge celestial structures and magnificent fleets all made their appearance, sub-light-speed engines spewed out scorching antimatter flames, and whistling plasma beams were wantonly proclaiming the vitality of these steel behemoths.

People who stayed in the orbital areas of Mars and the Moon could easily see the bright blue starlight piercing through the darkness of space and heading straight for the distant Trisolaran fleet.

The super fleet of the global giant finally attacks!
All the battleship engines and sub-light-speed engines were turned on at full power. The unstoppable charge of this giant corporate expeditionary force deeply shocked all humans who were closely observing outer space.

Although this fleet cannot use rapid jumps and superluminal engines to fully demonstrate its strength for the time being, the desperately thick energy shield alone is enough to make the Trisolarans fear it like a tiger.

You know, the Trisolarans just smeared some atomic-thick strong interaction material on the meteorite.

The world's giant corporations are so extravagant that they can directly use neutron armor plates as the hull of their warships.

The naval guns that the Trisolarans were so proud of were nothing more than toys that only children could play with in the eyes of this giant corporate fleet.

The Three-Body Commander, who had been so complacent just now, was stunned the moment he saw the fleet of the Universal Corporation.

The incident happened so quickly that the Three-Body Commander had no idea what was happening.

Logically speaking, the Cosmic Corporation should not have a large fleet, otherwise they would have intercepted them outside the solar system long ago.

Instead of waiting until now to take action.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. At that moment, the Three-Body Commander thought of the most terrifying possibility.

That is, from the beginning to the end, the real purpose of the giant company was not to protect the solar system or the human beings on Earth, but to target their Trisolaran fleet! (End of this chapter)
