I was exposed for mining on Mars

However, Luo Xiu also knew that the last time he attacked the advance fleet, he was able to achieve such great results by taking advantage of the fact that the advance fleet had no awareness of him.

Now the cruising fleet is obviously prepared for the solar system. When fighting Luo Xiu, the opponent will not go deep alone like the advance fleet.

Judging from the current situation of the super-accelerated fleet, just the arrival of a space warship can take them directly away from the Oort cloud. This situation has never happened before.

In the past, the cruising fleet was the master of the two spiral arms. They only chased others away. There was no reason to move backwards after seeing the enemy warships.

Regarding everything that happened before him, Luo Xiu also felt like he was in another world.

A few years ago, when he was still a human on a starship, he was chased by a cruising fleet.

At that time, even though the starship humans had the technology of antimatter annihilation bombs, their cruising fleets were also equipped with this weapon.

Even in some aspects, the technology of the cruising fleet is more powerful than that of the starship humans.

In that situation, the failure of starship humans is also very normal. After all, at that time, they had no technological advantage over the cruising fleet, and no privacy at all.

The Cruising Fleet knows all the ship data of the starship humans, and the manufacturing of these warships is even completed by the engineering ships of the Cruising Fleet.

In addition to the ship, the most important thing is that the starship human ship system can be linked to the other party, and the program can be directly modified from the inside, so that the ship's weapon system and thruster can be directly controlled without using a single soldier. , directly turning the starship human ships into a local combat force.

This situation lasted for two days. After the starship humans made a new control system by themselves and installed it on the ship, the situation improved slightly.

However, due to the control of the AI ​​in the early stage, there were not many starship human ships left, and they were unable to compete with the pursuit forces sent by the cruising fleet.

Under such circumstances, Luo Xiu was chased to the edge of a black hole, and by chance, jumped directly into the universe.

It was precisely because of the various experiences of human beings on starships that Luo Xiu began to intervene directly when he discovered that the Mars base control system had evolved on its own.

After all, now is the most critical moment for the interior of the solar system.

At this time, Luo Xiu could not tolerate any internal crisis. And an uncontrolled AI is the biggest variable.

Because in the cruising fleet, the warships controlling the fleet are AIs from the Cygnus civilization.

The opponent's control over the control system is definitely an order of magnitude higher than Luo Xiu's.

When Luo Xiu's Mars base control system is directly assimilated and controlled by the other party, it will be the biggest threat to the interior of the solar system.

"All ship systems are preparing to upgrade their anti-infiltration systems. Once there is an intrusion of external information, the link will be disconnected and the external information will be blocked directly."

Although the warships of the cruising fleet have not launched data attacks into the inner solar system, necessary preparations still need to be made.

"Okay, Commander, we are sending signals to all ships to upgrade the anti-infiltration system."

Completely different from the sound of the Mars control system, the system of the lunar research base that had just taken over also started its own work.

"In addition to the Xia Qi-class battleships carrying anti-matter annihilation bombs, the other main battleships also rushed to the Oort Cloud and deployed defense lines in the Oort Cloud."

Although a large number of Xia Qi-class battleships will be deployed on the edge of the Oort Cloud, Luo Xiu did not dare to put all his hopes on Xia Qi-class battleships.

If the opponent avoids the attack of anti-matter annihilation bombs, or a small number of battleships escape by luck, then these main battleships under Luo Xiu can come in handy.

Now the warships in the solar system are basically undergoing improvements in thrusters and engines, and the sailing speed of each ship has also been greatly increased.

In a conventional combat environment, the speed of the main fleet in the solar system has been equal to that of the cruising fleet, reaching 13% of the speed of light.

But if Luo Xiu wanted to run the ship at super power like the super-accelerated fleet, the losses he would suffer would definitely be greater than that of the super-accelerated fleet.

When the super-accelerated fleet arrived at the outskirts of the Oort Cloud, its own personnel had been reduced by as much as one-third due to its accelerated state.

For a cosmic civilization, this kind of non-combat attrition is extremely serious.

If it had not been forced, the cruising fleet would never have chosen to approach the solar system in this way.

"A signal has been sent to 310,000 conventional combat ships, and the Blue Star Fleet, Mars Fleet, and Asteroid Belt Fleet are heading to the Kuiper Belt to assemble."

"The Kuiper Belt Fleet is two hundred thousand conventional ships that have set sail for the heart of the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud."

"It is expected that within three years, the conventional combat fleet will arrive at its intended combat location."

Although Luo Xiu's current ship has reached 13% of the speed of light, it still takes a long time to span the Oort cloud with a thickness of 2.4 light years and a radius of 1.2 light years on one side.

"Six years."

Luo Xiu muttered about this time. For both Starship humans and Blue Star humans, this time was a bit too long.

Without dormant technology, humans could only wait for ships to sail in space. And it would be even more boring if humans were still on the ship.

You must know that although the space of an interstellar battleship is large, there is a limit.

Living in a relatively closed environment for several years would make most humans very uncomfortable.

"The combat plan is set for three years later. At that time, the Xia Qi-class warships that have arrived at the edge of the Oort Cloud will sail out of the Oort Cloud from eight locations at the same time and surround the cruising fleet ships from all directions."

When Luo Xiu began to describe the battle plan, the pictures on the wall also changed following Luo Xiu's description, as if Luo Xiu was calculating the situation that the ship would encounter in real time.

In the calculation screen, an overwhelming number of Xia Qi-class battleships surged out from the edge of the Oort cloud, surrounding the super acceleration team from above, below, left, and right.

When the super-accelerated fleet begins to counterattack or even retreat, these Xia Qi-class battleships will start directly to create an antimatter annihilation energy area in this area.

Even if the super-accelerated fleet is not annihilated immediately, they will be trapped in the area, waiting for the annihilation area to spread and swallow them up step by step.

Compared to the direct destruction caused by antimatter annihilation, watching oneself being swallowed is the most terrifying thing.

"Very good, just follow this plan."

After watching the calculation of the battle plan, Luo Xiu was quite satisfied. He just hoped that the anti-matter annihilation bomb and its carrier Xia Qi-class battleship would not be compromised by then.

"Open the hatch and I'll go to the research base."

For Luo Xiu, since he had been awakened, of course he could not wake up in vain.

What concerned him most about the inner solar system was the lunar research base.

Whether it is the anti-matter annihilation bombs being manufactured or conventional combat ships, they are not worth mentioning in terms of research and technology.

Because these technologies cannot widen the gap with the cruising fleet and Cygnus civilization, nor can they guarantee the true security of the solar system.

"laugh"

Following Luo Xiu's instructions, the door to his dormant cabin also opened, revealing the wide corridor outside.

The sleeping cabin where Luo Xiu is located is located on the Mars orbital platform. There will not be any Blue Star humans in this location, so relatively speaking, Luo Xiu's sleep will not be disturbed.

Of course, even if Luo Xiu sleeps directly in the lunar research base, with the planning of the base control system, no Blue Star humans will appear in the area where he sleeps.

Although it is far from Luo Xiu's dormant warehouse to the lunar research base, Luo Xiu's ships are still very fast. So Luo Xiu didn't take much time to reach the gate of the lunar research base from the Mars Ghost Island platform.

Luo Xiu came here not for more powerful weapons or a stronger hull, but for the interstellar jump project that he had always attached most importance to.

Judging from the technology Luo Xiu has acquired, there are basically only two ways to jump.

One is to use the starships of the cruising fleet as a benchmark to engrave the same 'star gate' to carry out distance and jump in the vacuum bubble.

The other is a more direct transition method discovered in the antimatter annihilation energy zone, which is to use the 'folding' of space. The distance between two places in space is infinitely close to zero, thus achieving A real 'fold'.

This method of jump is simpler than the "Star Gate" and does not require a large supply of resources. It does not even require the creation of a large number of super facility "Star Gates" in space for jumps.

After various comparisons, the 'folding' transition is more than 10% faster than the 'star gate' transition. And the ‘folding’ jump does not have a cumbersome jump process.

But this is a technology that even the Cygnus civilization has not yet mastered. Even though Blue Star humans have observed the changes in the antimatter annihilation energy area at close range, even Luo Xiu cannot imagine the time it takes to master it.

But no matter what, Luo Xiu has great enthusiasm for the 'folding' transition.

As long as this technology can be achieved, Luo Xiu will be able to do it very easily, whether it is conducting a 'strategic transfer' or dispatching ships on a large scale to the edge of the Oort Cloud.

"Your Majesty the Commander is coming soon, please be prepared."

When Luo Xiu entered the lunar research base, the voice of the base's mastermind also sounded in the 'Interstellar Leap' project team where Cao Guolin was working.

Cao Guolin, who had just exited the virtual world 'Huanmeng', was stunned when he heard this prompt. He had never heard such a sound before.

"Changed?" Cao Guolin looked up in confusion, but didn't see anything different.

"Chief Engineer Cao, the Commander seems to have woken up directly." In the research room, Xue He, who had joined Cao Guolin's 'Interstellar Jump' project team, was also puzzled by the change in the voice, but he was more concerned about the change in the voice. But it was the arrival of the commander.

Xue He also participated in the previous group meeting of Blue Star, so of course he also knew Luo Xiu, the solar system defense commander who had been awakened.

However, what neither of them expected was that the awakened commander actually rushed directly to the lunar research base, not the Oort cloud where the confrontation was the most serious.

"Beep, Your Majesty the Commander has arrived."

Before the two of them could figure out the situation, the door to the project team's room was opened directly by the research base control system, revealing the 'Your Excellency Commander' wearing exoskeleton armor outside the room.

"commander."

"Your Excellency, Commander."

When Luo Xiu walked into the room, Cao Guolin and other Blue Star scientists also greeted Luo Xiu one after another.

"Um."

Facing the greetings from these Blue Star scientists, Luo Xiu simply nodded, and then asked hundreds of people in the room: "How is the 'folding' jump project going?"

Cao Guolin and others who were looking at Luo Xiu did not expect that the commander would ask such a direct question as soon as he came in. Although they were the 'Interstellar Leap' project team, they had not come up with even one item about it since the project team was formed. Transitional technology.

On the contrary, through the analysis of star gates and the observation of antimatter annihilation areas, they have obtained a lot of data in materials science.

Of course, these are not their own jobs, so these data were transferred to the project team related to materials.

But in this way, one of the scientific research results of the 'Interstellar Leap' project team is blank.

"For the time being, nothing has been discovered." Compared to the Blue Star personnel next to him, Cao Guolin seemed very calm and directly explained the situation of the project team to Luo Xiu.

After listening to Cao Guolin's introduction, Luo Xiu also nodded slightly and said: "Interstellar jump is indeed a troublesome project. It is common for decades or even centuries to go without technological updates."

Luo Xiu, who had been in the cruising fleet, also knew that technology research and development was not easy. After all, with the huge number of intelligent civilizations in the cruising fleet, only a few technologies could be truly used in a year.

More often than not, each affiliated civilization can only provide some dispensable technologies. Most of these technologies are duplicates of previous technologies.

As for this situation, all civilizations in the cruising fleet are already used to it.

Because in the absence of a big technological explosion, most of the time scientific and technological exploration is as dull as water.

"Your Excellency, Commander, although we have not made any progress in the interstellar jump project, we did make a new discovery in the antimatter annihilation zone half a month ago."

Cao Guolin said, regardless of whether Luo Xiu looked at him or not, he walked directly to a console and placed the model of his project team's research object for half a month in the center of the hall.

As Luo Xiu and hundreds of Blue Star scientists watched, the model located in the center of the room was also an extremely dark area with violent fluctuations outside.

"This is the core of the antimatter annihilation zone, which is very different from the surrounding environment."

"On the periphery of the core area, most of the space has become calm. As time goes by, these areas covered by antimatter annihilation bombs will become what they were before."

"But the core area is different. It has not changed at all since we observed it."

"Ten days ago, we dropped substances into this core area."

As Cao Guolin continued to speak, the model in the field also changed, and a cylindrical artificial metal was dropped into the core of the antimatter annihilation zone.

"We found that the metal rod was not annihilated after entering the core area, nor did it undergo any reaction."

"In other words, this area is not offensive."

"And just when we were about to try to release matter into this area again, this metal rod unexpectedly appeared on the periphery of the antimatter annihilation zone."

Cao Guolin continued to speak, and the metal rod moved with his words, from the center of the antimatter annihilation zone to the periphery of the annihilation zone.

"It was jumped."
