There is also a dwarf planet there.
This dwarf planet was named "Pheus". Its radius is about 700 kilometers. Its surface is rich in water ice and tholin, and is also dark red in color.
Obviously, at this moment, the main fleet of the Bluetuk civilization is anchored in the orbit of the planet Radiant.
It is also very obvious what they want to do. It is nothing more than to first obtain some supplies from this dwarf planet which is relatively close to the solar system.
Li Qingsong did not expect that the Blueprint civilization, whose technology was more advanced than his own, would be so cautious in its approach.
I originally thought that they would rush directly to the inner solar system, select a large planet to attack, and try to occupy it.
Li Qingsong was powerless to do anything about such a distant planet.
He knew that he could not defend the entire solar system.
At the edge of the solar system, beyond Neptune, there are dwarf planets like Pluto, Eris, Roselle, Metaphysis, and Helle, as well as large asteroids that cannot be called dwarf planets and can only be called asteroids, but are relatively large in size and mass, and even have diameters of hundreds of kilometers. There are so many of them that Li Qingsong has discovered tens of thousands of them.
The number of undiscovered ones can only be much greater.
Even with Li Qingsong's technological strength which has surpassed human civilization in many aspects, he is unable to find them all, let alone defend them one by one.
He doesn't have that many troops.
In view of this, Li Qingsong's final decision was to only defend the eight planets and the asteroid belt and abandon all trans-Neptunian objects.
Even if it weren't for the special location of the asteroid belt, which happened to be located between four rocky planets and four gas planets, Li Qingsong would not even want to defend the asteroid belt.
After gathering troops in the inner solar system, the outer solar system would naturally have to be abandoned, and they would naturally be able to watch the Bluetook fleet obtain supplies from the dwarf planet.
But it’s not a big problem actually.
After all, dwarf planets are poor in resources and the supplies available are limited. Besides, since the Bluetuk civilization has mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion and uses nuclear fusion as its main energy source, it must need a large amount of deuterium.
Ordinary hydrogen has another name, protium. Protium atoms consist of one proton and one electron, but no neutrons.
Deuterium is an isotope of protium that contains one neutron. Deuterium is the fuel that can be used for nuclear fusion.
Protium cannot be used as a nuclear fusion fuel, at least not in the Bluetook civilization.
Deuterium is not available in great quantities from the dwarf planets, but only in large quantities from the four gas planets.
Under such circumstances, the Bluetuk civilization still chose to temporarily stay on the dwarf planet instead of launching an attack on itself immediately...
The opponent was so cautious, which made Li Qingsong feel more solemn.
Although the two sides have not yet officially fought each other, reconnaissance and spying on each other have already begun.
When the Bluetuk civilization fleet was still trillions of kilometers away from him, Li Qingsong had already vaguely sensed the appearance of some satellites and probes that did not belong to him in the solar system.
As the Bluetook civilization gets closer, these things become more and more numerous.
The starry sky was too vast, and these satellites and detectors were too small. Even with Li Qingsong's ability, he couldn't wipe them all out, so he could only let them start detecting.
But it doesn’t matter. If we can’t wipe out the Bluetoke civilization, they can’t wipe out ours either.
So Li Qingsong also sent out a large number of reconnaissance satellites, spy satellites, etc., and threw them directly into the sea of stars. He began to detect when the Bluetook civilization was still hundreds of billions of kilometers away from the sun.
At this moment, the Bluetuk fleet stayed at the star Huishen, and Li Qingsong directly dispatched hundreds of thousands of satellites there to conduct all-round reconnaissance without blind spots.
Reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, concealment, counter-concealment, mopping-up, counter-mopping-up, the battles in the reconnaissance phase began a long time ago and have not stopped until now, and will surely intensify in the foreseeable future.
Along with uninterrupted detection, the strength of the Bluetoke fleet was truly demonstrated in front of Li Qingsong.
Li Qingsong saw that at this moment around the star Huishen, there were more than 10,000 super-giant aerospace motherships belonging to the Bluetook civilization.
This super-giant aerospace mothership is more than 15 kilometers long.
They are like a long branch, with a main axis in the middle and many branches extending from the main axis. On each branch are hung many different types of spaceships or huge material warehouses.
An aerospace mothership can carry more than a thousand spacecraft!
In addition to the aerospace mothership, there are also huge cargo ships whose sizes are also measured in kilometers.
At this moment, the aerospace mothership and the huge cargo and passenger spacecraft were all parked around the planet Bruegel. Among the different large spacecraft, there were countless small spacecraft shuttling back and forth like a swarm of bees. Countless lights were flashing, and countless small engines were spraying flames and light, almost illuminating the entire planet Bruegel.
After a rough count, Li Qingsong saw more than 400,000 warships of various sizes - this was easy to distinguish because there were many weapons with very obvious characteristics on the warships.
Compared with the armed research vessels of the last environmental research team he and the Bluetook civilization had, Li Qingsong could tell the powerful strength of these warships just from their appearance.
"Momorans didn't lie to me. Their warships are indeed much stronger than armed research vessels..."
Powered by nuclear fusion, armored with high-performance special metals, with space-layered scanning radars as eyes, supercomputers built with quantum chips, intelligent AI constructed with advanced algorithms unique to quantum chips, and an almost endless number of unmanned combat weapons...
At this moment, under heavy defense, the flagship spacecraft of the Bluetook civilization.
Head Heiwei looked solemn, thinking silently.
After a long pause, he raised his arm and said in a deep voice, "Let General Needham and General Harrier come to see me."
"yes."
These two generals were the only ones in his mind who would lead the fleet in the first battle against human civilization.
Now, I have to make the final decision and choose one from these two.
Two generals, also covered with silver-white scales, came together.
"General Needham, please tell us about your battle plan."
General Needham paused for a moment and said with high morale: "My tactics are very simple.
I will take Planet 7 as my first target. Planet 7 has four satellites of a certain size. I will take Satellite 1 as my main target, first seize it, then build a base, gradually expand to the surroundings, and finally occupy the entire planet. "
He elaborated on his battle plan in detail.
Head of Hevi listened silently. After a long while, he asked, "How many warships do you need?"
“Taking into account the technological and combat power differences between the enemy and us, I think a total of 10,000 spaceships will be enough.
This will include five large warships, 500 industrial ships, repair ships, supply ships, supercomputing ships, and 100 transport ships with unmanned combat equipment.
Head of Hevi did not comment and looked at General Harrier: "How many warships do you need?"
Haril said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, I need a total of more than 100,000 spacecraft to ensure that Planet No. 7 can be captured at a relatively low cost."
