Invasion Chapter 2 Lightning Attack

15 minutes later, about 1000 ships appeared on the radar of Pluto's base, the speed of the ships was not fast, they were slowly approaching, but with a powerful sense of oppression

"We have confirmed the enemy's intention to invade, we do not need to comply with the principle of defense, once the enemy enters the range, immediately open fire" ordered Colonel Bill.

"Enemy ships are in range."

"Fire!"

Almost instantly, all the weapons of the Pluto base opened fire at the same time. As we all know, the achievements of the technological revolution are always the first to be applied to the military, and all the emerging technologies of the solar system revolution, including long-distance power rockets, sublight engines, and directional high-energy beams. In a flash, the air blossomed with the power of weapons

"99% hit rate," exclaimed an excited testing officer.

"Excellent," Colonel Bill also stood up.

Since the solar system revolution, due to the dramatic increase in the destructive power of various weapons, the progress of technology for protection has been limited, because it is always easier to destroy than to protect. Therefore, it is often the weapon range and evasive interception capability that determines the victory or defeat of a war. Once the enemy preempts the attack and fails to effectively evade it, then the fragile alloy armor is unable to resist the powerful destructive power of the weapon and the corresponding defeat becomes inevitable, so a hit rate of 99% means that the first wave of attack will destroy more than 90% of the enemy ships

"The destruction rate of the enemy fleet is 0" the detection officer could not believe his eyes.

"Why?"

"Second wave ready, enemy fleet still not firing, hell, they're in visual range" "In visual range, that means they're visible to the naked eye, and in visual range still not firing, which is almost impossible in the era of space warfare. It's almost impossible in the age of space warfare for a man-to-man fighter to use a man-to-man missile and blast away at line-of-sight.

"We can't get any closer, or the shockwave will damage the base, fire," said Colonel Bill, giving the order to attack again.

So, countless missiles rose into the air, and the large beam cannon once again sent out a deadly flash.

This time everyone saw clearly, it was a shield, a huge shield was generated at the head of the enemy warship, all the attacks fell on the shield all disappeared, there was no damage to the enemy ship itself!

"Oh my God! Pure energy state shield, this is the latest topic of interstellar development headquarters ah!" As the only one who understood the high-level research, the scientific research officer of Pluto Base let out a final sigh

Three seconds later, the powerful firepower of the alien fleet covered the whole base, and the jumping-off point of the alien zone, which had been painstakingly operated for 20 years, disappeared. At the same time, the fleet of more than 700 ships was super-saturated and destroyed within 2 minutes, leaving only a few small ships to escape from the battlefield.

Unfortunately, 20 hours was too short for the tedious parliamentary procedure, and the second attack by the alien fleet started while the general assembly was still arguing.

The first fleet of about 10,000 ships burst into the solar system and used FTL jumps to blitz the bases of the five planets. Venus, Saturn and Mercury, which were originally used as colonial planets, lacked sufficient defense forces and were completely destroyed within 20 minutes, with 300 million immigrants not surviving.

Jupiter and Mars, the armed planets, relied on the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 13th fleets to fight and retreat to protect nearly 400 million people who escaped back to Earth. However, in addition to the occupation of the two planetary bases, the four fleets had less than 5,000 ships remaining, a loss rate of 75%, and 50 years of human performance was ruined and returned to the tiny cradle of Earth.

The only consolation is that the pace of the alien attack finally slowed down, and the 10,000-ship First Fleet began to assemble at the Mars base, and humanity finally had a second chance to catch its breath.
