In the conference room of the Forbidden City.

A group of military experts and leaders gathered to discuss how to deal with a potential crisis from an alien civilization.

After a day and a night of discussion, they finally devised a plan to build a solar system defense system.

An elderly general with gray hair personally introduced the plan to all the heads of the participating departments.

His face was resolute, and his voice was firm and powerful: "Because the enemy's information is unknown, they may enter from any direction in the solar system, so we must have the monitoring, defense, and counterattack capabilities to cover the entire solar system."

"To achieve this goal, we need to build the solar system defense system in three phases."

As the old general spoke, his gaze swept over everyone in the conference room, then he displayed a three-dimensional diagram of the solar system before them and continued, "In the first phase, we will construct the first defense perimeter with the moon as the core."

"Based on existing bases, we will establish more military bases and facilities on the moon, including command posts, weapons depots, and training grounds, to enhance the moon's defense capabilities."

"At the same time, a space dock and six space stations will be built in lunar orbit. The space dock will be used to build and repair spacecraft, and the six space stations will be located at different positions in lunar orbit, equipped with large-caliber laser cannons, serving as space military bases."

"In addition, a ring of defensive cannons will be deployed along the lunar orbit to form a ring defense line for the defense of the moon."

The old general paused briefly, then continued, "We also need to build a rapid reaction force, specifically a rapid reaction squadron centered around the Huaxia spacecraft, consisting of at least five spacecraft and fighter jets of the same class, capable of rapid deployment and mission execution within the solar system."

At this point in the old general's speech, a civilian official suddenly raised his hand, stood up, and asked, "General Wang, aren't the defensive cannons deployed in Earth's orbit?"

General Wang said calmly, "If the enemy can break through the defense perimeter and reach Earth's orbit, then there's no point in deploying defensive cannons."

Upon hearing this, the civilian official immediately understood and silently sat back down.

General Wang continued, "In the second phase, we will build a second defense perimeter with Mars as the core. In particular, Mars' two natural satellites can fully support each other and form a strategic pivot, greatly enhancing our defense capabilities and depth."

"In the third stage, we will build a third defense perimeter with Jupiter as a strategic fulcrum. Jupiter has more than sixty moons, which, together with Jupiter itself, can form a massive defense system."

The old general raised his voice and said, "Jupiter, as the largest planet in the solar system, is a natural protective shield for Earth. Most celestial bodies that enter the solar system are attracted by Jupiter's gravity."

"Moreover, and most importantly, the asteroid belt is located right between Jupiter and Mars. The asteroid belt has enormous mineral resources, which can give Earth a greater war potential."

The old general quickened his pace, introducing the three major defense zones of the solar system in one breath. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a big gulp before continuing, "These three defense zones are the core of the solar system's defense system. If the three major defense zones are completed and the enemy has not yet arrived, then we can use Saturn as a support point to expand the fourth defense zone."

"Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto do not have the conditions to establish a true defensive perimeter, but they can be used to build outposts and observation posts."

"If God is kind enough, and after all these arrangements are completed before the enemy arrives, we can consider establishing an outer solar system defense system."

"The initial idea is to use the Kuiper Belt as a base to ambush a large number of bombs and fighter jets. This area has a large number of small celestial bodies, making it most suitable for guerrilla warfare."

The old general smiled slightly as he said, "The theory of guerrilla warfare is equally applicable in space, which is one of our strengths."

The people in the conference room laughed along with the others, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

An official in the conference room asked, "General, how long will it take to complete this defense system?"

General Wang said, "At the current construction speed, we initially estimate it will take 15 years, but if there are technological breakthroughs, it may take less time."

At this point, his gaze involuntarily turned to Ye Chen, as did the gazes of everyone else in the conference room.

When it comes to whether technological breakthroughs can be achieved, Ye Chen is definitely the most qualified to speak on the matter.

Over the past three years, this young man has almost single-handedly driven a leapfrog development in human technology.

The solar system defense system they are discussing today would have been unthinkable three years ago!

Ye Chen remained calm, and he genuinely agreed with the solar system defense system discussed by these military experts.

In fact, the solar system defense system that he had Zhizi simulate was even less effective than what everyone had discussed.

Professionals should do what they are good at. Military affairs are not his forte. Although there are many military theories in the Musi civilization, in Ye Chen's opinion, they are not necessarily better than those of China.

Seeing everyone's gaze fall on him, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I will do my best in terms of technological breakthroughs. Weapons and warships with greater power will be available."

His tone was calm, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the people in the conference room were silent for a moment before bursting into enthusiastic applause.

General Wang looked intently at Ye Chen and laughed heartily, "With more powerful weapons and warships, we are even more confident of victory."

Ye Chen's gaze was deep and resolute; his thoughts had transcended the solar system, reaching far beyond.

If humanity has completed the fourth line of defense but the enemy still has not appeared, then he will form an expeditionary force to march into outer space and intercept extraterrestrial civilizations!

Defending within the solar system is rather passive; if the battlefield is set up within the solar system, even if the enemy is defeated, the damage to the solar system will be considerable.

Shifting the battlefield outside the solar system would not have a significant impact on the solar system, even if it failed to completely eliminate the enemy.

If humanity can defeat this alien fleet, it might even be able to use the opportunity to invade the alien civilization's home planet.

Even if we take a step back, we can still gain some information about interstellar civilizations through war with extraterrestrial civilizations, which is much better than being completely in the dark now.

This will be a major turning point in human history, marking humanity's true entry into the interstellar age and its becoming a member of interstellar civilization!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's heart swelled with passion, and a blazing light shone deep within his eyes, as if two stars were burning.

Leading humanity into interstellar space and exploring the mysteries of the universe has always been his long-cherished wish.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, he can't let it go!
