Chapter 159: War Preparations Deployment

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the strength comparison report in his hand, his face solemn.

"Judging by the numbers on paper, the enemy has an overwhelming numerical advantage. But we have soldiers with super-n gene modification, the most advanced weapons and equipment, and……"

He looked at Qin Hao sitting to the side.

"And we still have our ultimate trump card."

Qin Hao felt everyone's gaze upon him, the pressure immense.

Although his strength is great, facing over a hundred thousand warships, he has no absolute confidence.

Who knows what super black technology the enemy possesses.

Superhuman genes aren't invincible; there are ways to counter them as well.

"I will do my best," Qin Hao could only promise that.

After the meeting ended, Qin Hao alone came to outer space of Blue Star.

He stared into the dark space.

In that endless darkness, a terrifying fleet was advancing toward them.

"System, how much energy reserve do I have left?"

【Current Energy Reserve: unit】

This energy is the result of his continuous accumulation over three years, but facing the impending war, he always feels it's not enough.

"Any powerful weapons you can recommend?"

【Detected host facing large-scale fleet combat, recommending the following items:】

【Two-Dimensional Foil (Three-Body), requires one million energy units per sheet.】

【Death Star Main Cannon (Star Wars). Can destroy planetary-level targets, requires 500,000 energy units】

【Star-Annihilator Ship (Star Wars), requires 30,000 energy units】

【Photon Torpedo (Star Trek), antimatter weapon, requires 50 energy units each】

【Phase Cannon (Star Trek), energy weapon, requires 2,000 energy units per barrel】

……

Qin Hao looked at these options, calculating in his mind.

Without a doubt, the Two-Dimensional Foil has the greatest power, but its energy consumption is also terrifying; he still can't afford it now.

Moreover, this thing cannot control its range; once used, the consequences are severe.

The Death Star cannon's drawbacks are obvious; it's fine for hitting fixed planets, but for warships capable of faster-than-light travel, better forget it.

Qin Hao then had the system fully introduce the data of the Star-Annihilator Ship, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Its firepower configuration and defense system are actually not as strong as the Federal's current main warship.

Spending 30,000 energy units on this thing is completely a waste.

However, that Phase Cannon is worth considering.

Besides the items recommended by the system, he also looked at other things from movies and novels, finding they were either too expensive or useless.

After thinking back and forth, Qin Hao still set his sights on the Two-Dimensional Foil.

"System, after the Two-Dimensional Foil is replicated, is it just like in Three-Body, unable to control its range?"

【Yes, host. Once the Two-Dimensional Foil is released, it will spread infinitely according to physical law, until the entire universe undergoes dimensional reduction.】

Qin Hao knew it would be like that.

This is practically a mutually assured destruction weapon; using it would doom even himself.

【Special reminder: host can consume extra energy to add a control mechanism to the Two-Dimensional Foil.】

"Oh?" Qin Hao's eyes lit up, "How exactly does it work?"

【The system will calculate the required energy based on the host's set influence range. The smaller the range, the less the consumption.】

Qin Hao immediately became interested: "If I only want it to affect a one-light-year range?"

【Calculating…… requires an additional consumption of 800,000 energy units.】

"And half a light-year?"

【Requires an additional consumption of 400,000 energy units.】

Qin Hao quickly calculated in his mind; a one-light-year range is too large, utterly unnecessary.

He estimated that 0.01 light-year (about 94.6 billion kilometers) would be sufficient; thus, he only needed to supplement an additional 8,000 energy units.

"Hmm! This plan can be kept as a reserve trump card, with the energy reserve set as the baseline."

After making up his mind, Qin Hao had just returned to his own courtyard.

Cheng Haitang then found him.

"Xiao Qin! The situation is a bit bad!" Cheng Haitang's voice carried obvious anxiety.

"What's wrong?"

"The Sky-Eye monitoring network just received the latest data; the enemy fleet's number far exceeds our previous estimates!"

Qin Hao's heart sank: "How many exactly?"

"At least 400,000 ships! And it's still increasing!"

400,000 ships!

This number gave Qin Hao a headache.

He originally thought 100,000 ships was already outrageous, but the actual number turned out to be several times that.

"Has the estimated arrival time changed?"

"No change, still half a month, but……"

Cheng Haitang's voice grew heavier: "According to Commander Zhang's latest technical analysis over there, among this fleet there is an extraordinarily huge warship. Preliminary estimates put its length at over one hundred kilometers!"

A battleship 100 kilometers long!

Qin Hao's mind immediately conjured the image of the Death Star from Star Wars.

Such a super‑battleship is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary weapons.

Do the Rote Commissioners know?

Cheng Haitang nodded. "They've already received the news. I came to find you just to have you attend the meeting."

Let's go!

Qin Hao hesitated no longer; the two soared into the air and flew swiftly toward the meeting room.

Nowadays, flying in the sky is already a commonplace matter for humanity.

This phenomenon is called the "Age of Universal Superhumans" by the Federal populace.

Federal Military Headquarters.

When Qin Hao and Cheng Haitang arrived at the meeting room, all the senior officers had already gathered.

Everyone's faces were unusually grim, and the air was thick with the tense atmosphere of an impending storm.

"Xiao Qin, the situation is far more serious than we imagined."

Seeing Qin Hao, Luo Te wasted no time on pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Zhang Yunfeng, standing nearby, flipped through the report in his hand and looked at Qin Hao, saying:

"Our main fleet's largest battleship is only about five kilometers long. Against such a colossus, we are nothing but ants facing an elephant."

"The numerical disparity is also too huge."

Human Federal Minister of Security Zhou Shaoqing said worriedly, "420,000 to 38,000—that's an eleven‑to‑one ratio."

The meeting room fell into silence.

Everyone understood this was not a evenly matched war but a life‑or‑death desperate battle.

"Now is not the time to be pessimistic."

Luo Te slammed the table. "We must devise a counter‑strategy. Minister Zhou, how are our defensive deployments?"

Upon hearing that, Zhou Shaoqing immediately called up the Solar System's defense map:

"We have established three defense lines in the outer Solar System.

The first line is fifty billion kilometers from Pluto, deployed with three thousand warships and a large number of automatic defense platforms.

The second line lies near Pluto's orbit, with ten thousand warships.

The third line is at Mars' orbit—our main force, consisting of twenty thousand warships plus all the space fortresses.

Besides the main warships, there are also various other vessels, totaling 1.2 million.

"What if all three lines are breached?"

Cheng Haitang raised the most worrisome question.

Before he could reply, Zhang Yunfeng jumped in first,

"The only option is to activate the Human Civilization Seed plan; the last five thousand warships are meant to protect the Seed Fleet's safety."

"The Seed Plan?"

Qin Hao frowned deeply.

He certainly knew what that meant.

Zhang Yunfeng produced a document:

"This is the ultimate emergency contingency formulated at the founding of the Federal. If human civilization faces total annihilation, we will launch the Seed Fleet, carrying the essence of human civilization to escape the Solar System."

The holographic screen displayed the design schematics of five thousand special warships.

These warships' appearance differs completely from ordinary warships; they resemble huge arks.

"Each Seed Ship can accommodate 100,000 people, equipped with the most advanced cryogenic hibernation system, gene bank, civilizational database, and so on.

Five thousand such ships amount to five hundred million people, basically covering the elite of every field of human civilization."

Luo Te added, "The goal of these Seed Ships is to find a new habitable star system and rebuild civilization; their power systems can support voyages lasting hundreds of years."

As the words fell, everyone present wore expressions of helplessness.

"No matter what, only by fighting will we know—our human civilization has never feared challenges."

Qin Hao suddenly rose to speak, his earlier worry gone.

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing him.
