Chapter 622 Actual Combat
March 11, Xinghe Year 7.
Nearly a year has passed since Sapiens sowed the seeds of the beta version of civilization on Saturn's moon, Saturn.
During this period, the development speed of civilization on Titan's ninth moon was very astonishing, and it had covered nearly 42% of Titan's strata.
Although the rock layers of more than ten meters above the surface have not been changed, the deep underground is filled with the roots of the Fire Base, passages, cabins, mines, farms, etc.
These underground facilities extend 30 kilometers underground.
The reason why it can reach this level.
On the one hand, this is because the rock strata of Saturn's ninth moon have a relatively high water content, unlike the dry and hard rock strata on Earth.
On the other hand, because the gravity of Saturn's ninth moon is too small, it is impossible to form a stellar core rich in heavy elements. Without a stellar core rich in heavy elements, there will be no continuous decay heat of radioactive substances.
In addition, since Phoebe is far away from Saturn, there is no way to generate another kind of geothermal heat through resonant tidal heating.
Therefore, the underground temperature of Saturn's ninth moon is not high.
With a diameter of only about 200 kilometers, Saturn's ninth moon will definitely be hollowed out by the Spark Base in the future.
However, today, Sapiens is preparing to use actual testing to verify the true situation of the Spark Base, because it has been conducting virtual tests in a supercomputer before.
Without actual combat testing with real weapons, no one can guarantee that it will not fail at the critical moment.
today.
The Space Defense Department, which had been established for more than a year, had finally built the frameworks of four of the space fleets.
The four space fleets are: Venus Fleet, Mars Fleet, Jupiter Fleet, and Saturn Fleet.
Of course, the fleet framework and organization were in place, and even through that game, hundreds of thousands of relevant personnel were secretly selected as sailors, fighters, maintenance personnel, and the like.
But there are not many space battleships.
After all, the Sapiens company is not 100% in wartime status at this stage.
Together with the local Earth fleet, which has received nearly a quarter of the space battleships, the Space Defense Department has currently received a total of 271 space battleships.
It seems that 271 space battleships are a lot.
However, in reality, these space battleships are not enough to form a fleet, and a large part of these battleships are not main battleships.
Currently, Zhiren Company has designed a total of three types of space battleships, namely the Qinglong-class space battleship, the Chifeng-class space mothership, and the Jinwu-class space assault ship.
Among them, the Qinglong-class space battleship has a full load weight of 127,000 tons, uses an embedded nuclear explosion thruster + nuclear power plasma thruster, and has built-in electromagnetic railguns, death ray cannons and thermonuclear missiles.
The Chifeng-class space mothership, with a full load weight of 125,000 tons, is a variant model derived from the same basic design as the Qinglong-class. This mothership is mainly used to carry various small spacecraft and has functions similar to those of an aircraft carrier.
The Jinwu-class space assault ship is an unmanned warship with a full load of 16,000 tons and a traditional nuclear explosion propulsion system, which is equivalent to a smaller Qinglong-class ship.
Currently, 8 Qinglong-class ships have been produced, 7 Chifeng-class ships have been produced, and 52 Jinwu-class ships have been produced.
The remaining space battleships are either converted from previously retired Spark-class spacecraft or some large transport and supply ships.
The Saturn Fleet on Saturn is the smallest, with only 17 space battleships in total.
At this time, Tian Qiming, the head of the Saturn fleet, showed a trace of confusion on his face after receiving the order from the headquarters, but then he thought it over.
He did not go to Saturn, but was on this side of the Earth.
Or it should be said that no one in the entire Saturn fleet is on Saturn. They all use synchronized robots to control the warships.
The temporary headquarters of the Saturn fleet is set up in Tianzhu.
After receiving the order, Tian Qiming immediately called a meeting of his subordinates.
Half an hour later.
There were more than thirty fleet officers in the conference room, sitting upright in their seats.
Seeing that everyone was present, Tian Qiming did not drag his feet but directly laid out the instructions from headquarters.
Hearing this order, one of the captains showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Do we really have to attack Rhea with all our strength? Actual combat exercises don't require real weapons, right?"
The other officers also looked at each other in bewilderment.
Because the content of the command document ordered them to completely destroy Titan at all costs, otherwise the Saturn fleet would be deemed a failure.
It was really difficult for them to accept this kind of instruction from the headquarters.
Tian Qiming knocked on the table calmly: "You don't have to think too much. The company naturally has its own purpose for doing this."
Andrew Fernando looked very conflicted. "But our fleet is the weakest to begin with. Now we have to attack Titan at all costs. The other side will also go all out. Will this cause serious losses?"
Tian Qiming, who had expected this, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the company will replenish the warships and weapons and equipment lost by the Saturn Fleet."
"Is that so?"
"I agree."
"Oh well……"
The officers finally reached a consensus and agreed to the strategy of the Saturn fleet to raid Titan's ninth moon.
Tian Qiming was very satisfied with this, but he still kept a straight face and continued: "Dear colleagues, don't take it lightly. According to the instructions of the actual combat test, both sides can use all means. Don't think that Saturn has no ability to fight back."
Staff officer Yu Longgong also had a serious expression on his face: "If it is really allowed to use all means, can thermonuclear weapons be used as well?"
Tian Qiming nodded: "You are allowed to use it."
Hiss, hiss, hiss... Everyone gasped, and the world suddenly became a little colder.
Obviously this situation is too explosive.
Tian Qiming ignored their shock and continued, "Now you guys quickly tell me how to fight so that you can destroy the entire Titan Nine as quickly as possible. You go first."
As a staff officer, Yu Longgong knew he couldn't avoid it, so he stood up quickly and said, "If we want to complete the sabotage mission within the shortest possible time, I suggest we make a feint to the east and attack in the west. We should first send out some warships to attract the target, and then use the Jinwu-class assault ships to launch a suicide attack on Titan's ninth moon."
"Is this possible?"
“What if the other party doesn’t fall for it?”
"I think we should send out a miniature spacecraft and install a nuclear warhead on it. Wouldn't that be faster?"
"Ridiculous, what if the other party has a death ray cannon?"
As time went by, everyone became more open-minded and began to discuss the topic in depth.
All kinds of ideas were brought up for discussion.
Although there are many imaginative and imaginative ideas, Tian Qiming is very clear that when the technological levels are similar, the element of war is actually the difference in productivity between the two sides.
It seems that the Saturn Fleet is the ruler of Saturn, but in fact Tian Qiming knows very well that most of Saturn's satellites are controlled by the spark of civilization.
Therefore, Tian Qiming is more inclined to fight a quick battle and destroy the entire Saturn with lightning speed.
Although the idea of this matter is very ingenious, the actual operation is quite difficult.
After discussing for more than five hours, the officers of the Saturn fleet finally came up with several plans. However, since the actual combat test would begin tomorrow, they did not have much .
As for which specific combat plan to use, Tian Qiming has not yet made up his mind.
In order to prevent the Saturn fleet from conducting early reconnaissance of Titan's ninth moon, Tian Qiming and others had no way to synchronize the robots online, so the people of the Saturn fleet could only rely on guesswork and deduction.
No words were spoken that night.
Early in the morning, Tian Qiming and his subordinates logged into the synchronization server and began preparing for battle.
