Prewar Preparations
After the pre-battle mobilization meeting, the human fleet slowed down from 30% of the speed of light to 1% of the speed of light and headed towards the interior of the Binary Star System.
At the same time, all the captains present left the Lyra and returned to their own command ships.
"Commander Yue, how should we arrange the Residential Spaceship and other types of spaceships?" After everyone left, Zhu Pete approached Yue Yuan and asked.
"First, we need to complete the resupply," Yue Yuan turned to look at Zhu Pete and said thoughtfully, "It will probably take until the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet arrives. It won't be that fast; there's still some time. When that time comes, you'll have to go to the Residential Spaceship Cluster to lead the people away first. Let's go to Hope 13; that Residential Spaceship is the most suitable."
Yue Yuan intends for Zhu Pete to take the Human Civilization's Residential Spaceship Cluster and other supporting Resource Spaceship and Research Spaceship spaceships with him first.
He himself would definitely stay behind to fight alongside the Lyra.
Not only the Human Civilization's Residential Spaceship Cluster, but also ordinary people from the Nair Civilization will leave this Binary Star System before the war begins.
In this way, even if they ultimately cannot defeat the Artificial Intelligence fleet, it won't mean that both civilizations will perish here.
As for why they didn't leave immediately after resupplying, one reason is that a large number of personnel would be needed for the subsequent deployment, and the other is the need to control the line of sight.
The two civilizations' Residential Spaceship Cluster must wait until the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet gets close enough to use the Red Dwarf Star's perspective to hide their exhaust plumes and leave.
It will be about 26 years before the arrival of the Artificial Intelligence fleet. The reason there is so much time is that when humans last tried to hide their tail flames and escape, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness made a mistake again and ran to another Star System.
That Star System is about 11 light-years away from where we are now. The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness should have arrived here before us, reached that Star System, and discovered that neither we nor the Nair Civilization were there.
Therefore, humans estimate that it will arrive after resupplying there, and it should be about 26 years from now.
Humans and Nair People will use this short time to resupply and then set up the battlefield.
According to the plan, the two civilizations' Residential Spaceship Cluster will be resupplyed within five years, and then over the next fifteen years, all available industrial resources will be mobilized to fully cooperate with the Allied Forces Command in completing various battlefield deployments.
Afterwards, the Residential Spaceship Cluster will carry the main body of humans and Nair People out of this Binary Star System first, heading to the next Star System to await the triumphant return of the Allied fleet.
During the war preparations, in addition to the fleet's regular fuel and resource supplies, scientists from both civilizations, under the unified command of the Allied Forces Command, will use various scientific methods to conduct various scientific experiments at different locations in the orbital Void of this Binary Star System in order to collect various data.
For example, where will the Red Dwarf Star be relative to the Neutron Star in 26 years? And where will it be in the following years? How will the magnetic field environment of the Red Dwarf Star's three Rocky Planet change during this period?
There's also the spatial environment of this Binary Star System, such as the density of hydrogen in space, the intensity of the Red Dwarf Star Stellar Wind, and so on. There's also the magnetic field strength corresponding to each orbit in space, the relationship between the distance between human warships and Neutron Star and the magnetic field interference they receive from the Neutron Star, the extent of the impact of short-duration Neutron Star geomagnetic storms, and at what distance could human warships withstand them, etc.
In addition to checking the warship's tolerance to the extremely strong magnetic field environment, the extent to which the warship's various types of main guns are affected in this environment is also examined.
Studies on the firing trajectory of Positron Cannon in this environment, the risk level of magnetization of Electromagnetic Railgun projectiles, and precautions for using Magnetic Shield in strong magnetic field environments, etc., all need to be tested.
Because this war cannot simply be fought in a certain location in the sky, the fleet needs global parameters, which means that scientists must study the magnetic field of this Neutron Star and obtain various magnetic field data and short-term geomagnetic storm information.
Then, this data is written down and integrated into the warship's fire control system, so that each warship knows its position and how to engage the target.
Humans were already quite adept at gathering information about the battlefield environment after the battle with the Kun-Tai Civilization, so the allied fleet began this work in an orderly manner as soon as it arrived.
Aside from gathering battlefield environmental information, the next task was to deploy resources to the three Rocky Planet.
According to the plan, the first battlefield between the coalition forces and Artificial Intelligence will take place near the orbits of these three Rocky Planet, with a focus on the Rocky Planet in the second orbit.
The reason it's not the third farthest orbiting planet is that by the time the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness arrives, the planet will have already orbited to the other side of the Red Dwarf Star.
At that time, the Rocky Planet in the second orbit happened to be traveling in the direction from which the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet was coming.
Of course, if the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet arrives and then makes a large flanking maneuver, that would be a different story, since it's free to choose its own path. However, the Allied Forces Command has reason to believe it wouldn't be that foolish, because if it did, its fleet would be exposed at both ends to the Allied fleets positioned along their respective defensive lines.
If so, by launching a pincer attack from both sides and spreading the battle lines further, we can definitely prevent the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness from coordinating its efforts due to communication delays.
The reason for relying on three Rocky Planet to establish a defensive line is clear: to cut off the possibility of resupplying the Artificial Intelligence fleet.
Of course, if the Artificial Intelligence fleet's consciousness is determined to take a planet as a resupply point, the allied fleet will likely be unable to withstand it, given their numerical advantage.
Therefore, the battle plan also includes Second Battlefield, which is a place relatively close to the Neutron Star, or more precisely, a Void near the common mass center of the Binary Star System.
In combat, after the first battle, the Allied Forces Command will try to use tactics to lure the Artificial Intelligence fleet to the Second Battlefield, and then use the more complex battlefield environment to annihilate it.
So, in reality, the Second Battlefield is the focus of this war.
The Allied Forces Command has already calculated that the performance of human warships is much better than that of the Nair Civilization. Therefore, the environment in which human warships can exert their combat power normally may not be suitable for Nair Civilization warships. Thus, as long as the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet can be lured to the Second Battlefield, the war will be a sure thing.
However, how to lure them in is a matter that needs careful consideration, since Lure the Enemy Deep our territory has never been easy throughout history.
