The latter, with the help of the Sophons, defeated the human fleet, and then they could march into the solar system and slaughter all of humanity.
“We should still be more cautious. We’ve only used radiation-propelled projectiles once, and humans have already figured out how they work and are replicating them,” an ETO member cautioned.
However, such a reminder not only failed to alert the ETO members in the fleet, but also met with dismissive sarcasm.
"Ha, so what if we figure it out? Those kinds of projectiles need a very long acceleration distance to reach five percent of the speed of light. Excessive acceleration will cause the confined plasma to come into contact with the outer wall of the container, which will lead to a runaway nuclear fusion explosion."
"This means that this type of shell is not only expensive to manufacture, but also unsuitable for sudden encounters. It can only be used for large-scale crossfire. With the radar systems currently used by mankind, it is impossible to achieve such large-scale crossfire unless they can also obtain precise battlefield information with the help of sophons like we do."
The ETO members dared to use this type of shell because they weren't worried at all that it would be copied by humans. Even if it were copied, it would be difficult for it to perform its combat effectiveness properly unless it was combined with a technology like the Sophon, which is superior to shipborne radar observation. Otherwise, it would be weaker than a regular electromagnetic railgun.
"After a while, once the organization's fleet is completed, humanity's space force will become its defeated adversary. We will completely blockade the Kuiper Belt and even wipe out humanity in the solar system."
"At that time, those people on Earth will no longer need to go to great lengths to enter the PDC. We will be the Lord's greatest contributors."
The ETO members within the armed fleet of ETO were proud. With the Sophon, a weapon that revealed the entire map, they even knew what color underwear the human fleet commander was wearing that day. As long as they didn't intentionally give away their lives, how could they possibly lose?
Chapter 151 The organization's move was too solid.
At Space Force headquarters, senior Space Force officials are currently holding a meeting.
The topic of this meeting is the Kuiper Belt.
After just two months of engagement, the Space Force has gone from being unfamiliar with the enemy to being familiar with them, and they have gained a preliminary understanding of the enemy's military capabilities.
"There are new findings regarding the human remains recovered by the European fleet near Pluto."
During the meeting, a female lieutenant general turned on the projector and projected two corpses with identical faces but different injuries onto a large round table, and began to explain them.
"These are two identical faces. By comparing their genes, it can be determined that they are clones. It can be boldly speculated that cloning technology has been used by the enemy for military purposes."
During the meeting, a senior executive leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled.
"This is troublesome. We previously discovered brain implants and thought imprints in the brain. Now, with these technologies combined with cloning technology, it means that the enemy has an endless source of soldiers. The thing we feared most has finally come to pass."
There are reasons why the highest levels of human society are so wary of cloning technology, brain implantation technology, and mind imprinting.
Imagine these technologies falling into the hands of an ambitious individual. This individual wouldn't even need to manipulate people; they could simply create clones, implant brain implants in them, and imprint their thoughts onto them to create an armed force capable of maintaining their dictatorial rule.
The officer beside him said calmly, "The endless supply of soldiers means nothing. In space, the power of humanity will be infinitely reduced. Clones also need to eat and drink, and artillery shells also need to be smelted and cast."
"The enemy should also have similar space facilities such as space farms and space mines. Find them and destroy them one by one, and the enemy will collapse on its own."
Humans are still humans, and clones are still humans. Humans are incredibly fragile. Humans will die if they don't eat, they will die if they don't drink water, and they will suffocate if they don't have oxygen.
In the space battlefield, an unlimited number of absolutely obedient soldiers does not equate to unlimited combat power.
This is why the Asian and European fleets have been searching the Kuiper Belt; they are not looking for the enemy's main fleet, but rather for the enemy's survival facilities in space.
Since the enemy does not possess more revolutionary technologies than humanity, space facilities must be built just as large and massive as theirs.
Large size and large mass mean that overall strength is reduced. Low overall strength means that space facilities cannot withstand excessive acceleration. Excessive acceleration means that they will fall apart.
Upon hearing about space farms and space mines, one officer waved his hand impatiently.
"Forget it, our fleet hasn't even seen a shadow of the enemy, only meteorite firing points. Every battle means a loss. The enemy fleet is unscathed, but our fleet is constantly accumulating damage."
Both fleets have been searching for more than two months, but so far they have not seen a trace of the enemy except for the meteorite firing points, let alone any enemy space facilities.
Among those at the top, some are already not optimistic about this strategy.
"Damage is not a problem. As long as it is not a complete loss of combat capability at once, the industrial fleet will repair the combat fleet during the voyage and fight a protracted war. We have nothing to be afraid of."
The officer retrieved a cannonball capable of accelerating to five percent of the speed of light and then gestured for it.
"That was true before, but now the enemy has these cannonballs that can accelerate to five percent of the speed of light. If they launch an offensive in coordination with the meteorite firing points, it will be very difficult for the fleet to defend. The fleet has already suffered losses."
After saying that, the officer immediately added, "I propose that the search strategy should be changed. If we continue to let things continue like this, both fleets will be completely destroyed and we will never see the enemy."
The search strategy is based on the premise that neither fleet suffers any losses. Once a fleet suffers losses, this strategy can no longer be relied upon.
Even if they had many warships, they could be worn down by the enemy's tactics. They didn't know how many of those enemy cannonballs that could accelerate to five percent of the speed of light they had made, and they hadn't even identified the enemy. It would be very unwise to rashly place their hopes on a search strategy.
The officer presented his replacement strategy to senior Space Force officials.
"If the enemy is playing hide-and-seek with us in space, then we will proceed steadily and surely, build military bases in the Kuiper Belt, and gradually expand our occupied area in the Kuiper Belt. Each military base will deploy detectors within an astronomical unit of the surrounding area. It is conservatively estimated that deploying three-digit military bases will enable real-time monitoring of the Kuiper Belt."
The female lieutenant general frowned slightly. "Fixed targets are dangerous. These bases will become key targets for enemy attacks. However, we don't have a good defense against shells that can reach five percent of the speed of light."
In space, losing maneuverability makes you a sitting duck, and the key is that this sitting duck is quite large, which means that the effective range of all live-fire weapons will increase exponentially.
For ordinary live ammunition, there's not much to worry about, as it can be intercepted with lasers. However, solid projectiles that can reach five percent of the speed of light are quite deadly.
The speed of movement is too fast. If the enemy launches a large number of these shells at once and attacks from multiple angles simultaneously, the military base's lasers will probably have a hard time intercepting them all.
If even one of them isn't intercepted, it would be extremely dangerous.
The officers who proposed the replacement strategy had already considered this.
"No, defense is not impossible. As long as the radar power is high enough and the detection range is far enough, it can be defended against as early as possible. This kind of shell cannot withstand too high acceleration. If a live projectile with high kinetic energy collides head-on with it, it means that the internal nuclear fusion reactor will go out of control. Without laser interception, but with live projectiles, this kind of shell will evaporate due to the uncontrolled nuclear fusion."
……
On Earth, several elderly people strolled in a park, one of whom would occasionally look up at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
"Are you still worried?" asked the old man with a cane beside me.
Upon hearing this, the old man gazing at the starry sky became indignant and shook his head in great disappointment.
"Hmph, those idiots went wild once they got to space, they always thought they could do better than us."
The old man with the cane chuckled and replied, "Young people are always like this, unwilling to admit defeat, it's normal. If they can do it, then we can close our eyes in peace."
"But this is often the easiest way to suffer losses. They understand their opponents, but they don't understand themselves. They don't know their own strengths and weaknesses, which is the most fatal flaw. Arrogance is the root of failure."
The old man with the cane didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry, even if they fail, we're still here for them. Their antics in the sky are just a distraction for us on the ground."
Chapter 152 Thirty Years in a Flash
After reading the information sent from the Space Force regarding the technology used by the Kuiper Belt enemy, Lin Feng...
After thinking for a while, he went to look up various news events since he went into hibernation.
After confirming that there were no reports regarding the application of ETO concept stamping, Lin Feng issued a new order to Domon William.
"You've decided to hibernate?"
Domon William was quite surprised when he learned of Lin Feng's order.
Lin Feng nodded, watching Domon William's answer.
"Yes, this war won't end anytime soon, and I can't play a significant role either, so I plan to hibernate until the war in the Kuiper Belt ends."
"Understood." Domon William nodded in understanding.
A Wallfacer has a lifespan. The war in the Kuiper Belt is of unknown duration. During wartime, humanity will have to allocate a large amount of resources to the war effort, and the resources available for Wallfacers will naturally decrease accordingly.
At the same time, in the current climate of widespread anxiety, strategic thinking focused on operational development is unlikely to gain much attention.
Domon William thought for a moment and asked Lin Feng, "There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."
"What is it?" Lin Feng asked.
Domon William said, "Do you think the enemy is ETO? Based on the kind of projectiles they use that can reach five percent of the speed of light, the enemy possesses technology far beyond the detection range of current human radar."
"If it were a high-power radar, the radar waves it emitted would be extremely noticeable in the high-frequency band. However, nothing was detected on the battlefield. Therefore, some people in the Space Force speculated that the unidentified human force led by Kuiper was ETO, which used sophons to achieve large-scale artillery fire and high accuracy."
"Thanks to the help of the Sophon, no matter how much the two fleets expanded their search area, they were unable to locate the other's main fleet or the space facilities necessary for survival..."
Lin Feng guessed correctly twice, and Dormont William had no doubt that Lin Feng would guess correctly a third time.
He was uncertain about the war in the Kuiper Belt and wanted to get some 'prophecy' from Lin Feng so that he would have a better understanding of the situation.
"Stop, don't talk to me about this. I have no interest in the war that is taking place in the Kuiper Belt."
Lin Feng stopped Domon William's long-winded speech; having no military knowledge, he only felt a headache coming on.
Lin Feng thought for a moment, and thought, "Isn't military strategy all about deception and realism?" So he gave a perfunctory reply.
"William, never be deceived by appearances. Sometimes what you see is not necessarily true, and sometimes what you think is impossible is not necessarily false."
"What do you mean?"
Domon William frowned as he listened. He understood each word individually, but when put together, he still couldn't figure out what Lin Feng was referring to.
In fact, Lin Feng didn't mean anything by it; he just made up a sentence to keep his lofty image from crumbling.
Anyway, what he said is very common, similar to pointing at a pregnant woman and saying she's pregnant, so it won't have any real impact.
"Literally, remember the significance of the Taylor Group's existence and complete the tasks I have assigned you."
After a pause, Lin Feng continued, "I hope that the first thing I see when I wake up from hibernation next time is the Taylor Group, that I can see a Taylor Group that is even stronger than it is now, and that the physical data collected by the giant ship can be put into application."
Upon hearing this, Domon William's expression hardened, as if he understood something.
You will see.
……
Under the arrangement of Domon William, Lin Feng entered hibernation in his spaceship where he had been living for a long time.
The following year, a large-scale battle broke out in the Kuiper Belt, with the ETO's combat fleet engaging in fierce fighting with the Asian and European space force fleets.
The ETO combat fleet, with the combined strength of the two fleets, extended its retreat towards the Kuiper Belt. The Asian and European fleets immediately pursued, but fell into a meteorite trap set by the ETO.
After the meteorite is hollowed out and filled with gunpowder, it will eject a large number of meteorite fragments when detonated.
ETO manufactured a large number of such bomb meteorites, which were detonated in the areas where the European and Asian fleets passed through.
These meteorite fragments did not cause much serious damage to the European and Asian fleets; their power was far less than that of electromagnetic railgun shells.
However, it severely damaged the transport and industrial fleets accompanying the European and Asian fleets, resulting in numerous casualties.
Thus began the civil war within the solar system.
……
Time flew by, and Lin Feng regained consciousness from the darkness.
He slightly opened his eyes and saw a beam of light, but it was not dazzling. His vision was blurry, like that of a bookworm with severe nearsightedness.
A light, melodious voice rang out in front of Lin Feng.
"Are you awake?"
