It took the alien spaceship a year and a month to fly out of the Kuiper Belt, under the siege of the human fleet.
Behind them, nearly a hundred warships, thousands of spaceplanes, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the human fleet were forever trapped inside.
After leaving the Kuiper Belt, the alien spacecraft officially entered the inner solar system.
What lies before them are three major defensive perimeters that humanity has focused on building.
"Leader, according to Shadow Reconnaissance, humanity has built three major defensive fortifications centered on the Earth, Mars, and Jupiter in the solar system."
"However, their mobile fleet has been almost completely wiped out by us. These three defensive perimeters can be easily destroyed with a little time and long-range attacks."
Inside the command center of the alien spaceship, a high-ranking alien pirate is reporting the latest reconnaissance results.
"Moka, what do you think?" The alien leader looked at the virtual map and consulted his strategist.
Moka said, "Chief, humanity's overall technological strength is much lower than ours. We just need to proceed steadily and avoid making mistakes, and victory will be ours sooner or later."
“What you say makes a lot of sense. Humans are already meat that’s practically in our mouths, so there’s no need to rush and choke.”
The alien leader nodded and addressed the rest of the belligerent high command.
These high-ranking officials had been restricted from participating in battles by him while passing through the Kuiper Belt, and they were already itching to fight.
Finally, he promised, "Once we have completely conquered human civilization, you can do whatever you want with us!"
"Roar roar roar!"
Upon hearing this, the alien pirates roared, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
Soon, human probes discovered traces of the alien spaceship.
While humanity waited anxiously, the alien spaceship leisurely arrived outside the third defensive perimeter of Jupiter and came to a stop.
Jupiter Defense Command Center.
A group of soldiers stared at the alien spaceship, which was beyond the range of the orbital cannon, their faces grim.
The commander-in-chief said, frustrated, "The alien spaceship is stopped here, but it can attack us. We can't reach it. Are we just going to passively take the hits? Everyone, think of a way to turn the tables and take the initiative."
The commanders at all levels exchanged glances and frowned as they pondered.
The commander-in-chief looked at the crowd below, deep in thought, and sighed inwardly.
In fact, countless simulations have been underway since the moment alien spacecraft appeared in the solar system!
The current situation is undoubtedly one of the most probable scenarios among countless simulations.
This passive defensive battle left him feeling extremely frustrated!
He asked this question only as a last resort, hoping for a miracle!
However, it is clear that under the current circumstances, there is almost no possibility of a sneak attack.
Moreover, although the current situation is passive, it can delay the alien fleet's advance and buy time to build the Blue Star, so the strategic goal can be considered accomplished.
While the human commanders discussed countermeasures, the alien spaceships launched their first attack after a brief rest.
They still activated the Divine Punishment Light remotely, sending a beam of light in a launch shape directly toward Jupiter.
Along the way, some artillery emplacements, reconnaissance equipment, and meteorites deployed in space all melted away.
However, when the Light of Divine Punishment was activated, the defensive facilities that humanity had deployed on large satellites had already retreated deep into the Earth's surface.
The orbital cannons positioned in Jupiter's orbit also activated their thrusters, pushing the equipment behind Jupiter to avoid the attack of the divine light.
This is also a method devised by humanity to counter the divine light of punishment, using massive celestial bodies as cover.
After the divine punishment, the ice layer on the second surface of Jupiter melted hundreds of meters deep, but the defensive facilities hidden thousands of meters below remained intact.
Seeing that the effect of the Heavenly Punishment Light was greatly reduced, the alien spaceship stopped using it, since each activation consumed a large amount of energy.
The alien spaceship raised its energy shield and flew towards Jupiter.
The muzzles of the hundreds of main guns on the ship were flashing with lightning, just waiting for human defense equipment to show itself so that it could be dealt a devastating blow.
Inside the command center, the commander-in-chief, seeing the alien spaceship's movements, straightened his hat and ordered, "Gentlemen, execute the battle plan!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
......
Humanity's first wave of counterattack was launched by countless drones.
These drones took off from a base hidden behind Jupiter and hurtled toward the alien spacecraft at incredible speeds.
The alien spaceship immediately opened fire. After several hours of fierce fighting, the first wave of drones was completely destroyed before they could even touch the alien spaceship.
This was exactly what the human commanders had anticipated. Their main purpose in sending out drones was to draw enemy fire and deplete the enemy's energy.
While the alien spaceship was dealing with the drones, dozens of hidden railguns, propelled by their thrusters, had already approached the alien spaceship.
The railguns opened fire the moment the alien spacecraft entered their range.
They only had time to fire the first shot before beams of light pierced through the entire cannon.
However, their antimatter projectiles shot towards the alien spaceship like lightning, punching huge holes in the spaceship's energy shield.
Several shells even pierced the shield, causing some damage to the alien spacecraft's hull.
However, that's all there is to it; once these railgun turrets are revealed, only destruction awaits them.
Humans built hundreds of orbital cannons around Jupiter's orbit and on dozens of Jupiter's moons. Under the command of the commander-in-chief, these cannons appeared in batches to attack alien spacecraft.
The two sides traded blows, becoming locked in a war of attrition.
To be precise, it is humanity that uses its own casualties to deplete the alien spacecraft's energy and slow its progress.
After three months of fierce fighting, humanity's last orbital cannon was destroyed, marking the end of the Jupiter defense campaign.
In this battle, humanity's third defensive perimeter was completely annihilated, losing hundreds of artillery batteries, hundreds of spaceplanes, and nearly 10,000 soldiers of various ranks.
However, they also successfully held off the alien spacecraft for nearly three months and caused some damage to it.
After Jupiter's defenses collapsed, the alien spacecraft remained in Jupiter's orbit, instead of continuing its journey as humans had anticipated.
In fact, the alien spaceship had consumed a significant amount of its stored energy after this round of attacks.
After conquering Jupiter, they began to gather resources on the spot, repair their ship, and replenish their energy.
Jupiter, as the largest planet in the solar system, contains abundant resources. Given this opportunity to replenish their resources, the alien spacecraft is naturally not in a hurry to continue its attack.
