Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 517 Expedition to Jupiter
Zhong Cheng did not specifically participate in the post-war reconstruction of the Earth. He was mainly responsible for preparing for the coalition counterattack against Jupiter.

With a massive Zerg army, the federal army no longer needs to replenish its troops.

The 1000 to [-] million troops that the Federal Army put into the earth battlefield lost nearly half of them in more than a year, leaving only more than [-] million people, and a large number of troops were permanently cancelled.

Zhong Cheng reorganized the surviving federal mecha units on earth into forty mecha corps to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

At the same time, the federal military enterprises produced more than [-] million lightsaber weapons and equipped [-] mecha legions. The strength of the federal army has once again been greatly improved.

Including the United Earth Fleet, the Federation Army on Earth has more than 400 space battleships, 100 million battleships, and 800 million mech troops.

The Jupiter United Fleet also has more than 1000 space battleships, nearly a million battleships, and 500 million mech troops.

Together with the 300 million local defense forces in various regions of the solar system, this is the current total strength of the Federation Army.

Although these forces are enough to eliminate Jupiter's demon lair, the price to be paid is unimaginable.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng decided to rely on the strength of the Zerg army to complete the task of conquering Jupiter.

2048 10 Month 21 Day.

The coalition forces began to assemble to Kunlun City from all over the earth, and boarded the ship at the Tiangong City space port through the space ladder.

The Federal Army's mech troops and the Forgotten Army are loaded by the United Earth Fleet, while the Zerg army is loaded by large basalt spaceships, which are also loaded into containers first and then loaded on the ship.

It's just that when they came to the earth, they used a basalt spaceship, and now they use thirty ships to leave the earth.

The Zerg army is not only an increase in number, they are constantly updated and iterated through wars, and their individual strength has also been greatly increased, which can be seen from the size and weight alone.

Zhong Cheng discussed with Dongfang Bubai in private. He made it clear that if after the Battle of Jupiter, the number of the Zerg army is still so large, what should we do?

Dongfang Bubai is not worried at all about the problems that Zhong Cheng and other high-level human beings are worried about.

He said that when the war is over, let the Zerg army devour each other, leaving only 3000 to [-] million.

As long as the king worm and mother worm of the Zerg are there, the Zerg will still be there.

Although Zhong Cheng felt that it was a bit inhumane to deal with the Zerg army in this way, ordinary bugs did not have much IQ and emotion, and there was no humane problem.

Would it be cruel for humans to exterminate hundreds of millions of locusts at once?
Probably not even the most caring environmentalists feel that way.

Zhong Cheng's intolerance was only because the Zerg army and humans were also "comrades" fighting side by side.

But such a huge number of insects is not safe, and it is even impossible to raise them. They are destined to only become tools in this war.

The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooking!
10 month 25 day.

The huge Allied Jupiter Expeditionary Force was assembled and shipped. Zhong Cheng and other high-level allied forces finally boarded the new flagship of the United Earth Fleet, the Qinglong aircraft carrier Xuanyuan.

The seven Qinglong aircraft carriers that survived the earth war and the last five completed Qinglong aircraft carriers all joined the United Earth Fleet to go to Jupiter.

The newly built Qinglong aircraft carrier Xuanyuan entrusted Zhong Cheng's desire to bring the sacrificed old comrades together to end the war.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhong Cheng gave the order for the fleet to set sail at the command center of the Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan and other last more than 100 space warships left the Tiangong City space port, and after rendezvous with the fleet in the outer space of the earth [-] kilometers away, they sailed mightily into the depths of the starry sky.

The largest expeditionary army in the history of the human world went straight to Jupiter, which is [-] million kilometers away.

The Jupiter Expeditionary Force fleet reached a cruising speed of 1000 kilometers per second after one hour, crossed the orbit of Mars in just over half a day, and entered the asteroid belt one day later.

The fleet did not stay in the asteroid belt, and passed through the core area of ​​the asteroid belt 5 days later, and fortunately passed through the starry sky 200 million kilometers away from Ceres.

Zhong Cheng stood in front of the porthole of the Xuanyuan, watching Ceres go away, deeply moved.

I never thought that it was 15 years ago that he was entrusted by Wu Tie to lead a team to Ceres to perform a rescue mission.

Since then, he has never left the inner space of the solar system beyond Mars.

Now he has set foot in the outer space of the solar system, which he has never been before, but in the way of leading an army.

This was something he could not have imagined back then, and it was all caused by the war.

And the goal of his trip is to end the war!
2048 11 Month 5 Day.

Ten days after setting off from the earth, the Jupiter Expeditionary Force fleet reached the outer orbit of Jupiter, 10 million kilometers away from Jupiter.

At this time, the blue-colored Jupiter has become the largest planet in the starry sky, hanging in the sky as big as a washbasin, while the sun is only half the size of a volleyball.

The ancients had known this planet for a long time, and the Romans named it after the chief god Jupiter.

In ancient China, Jupiter was called the Jupiter, because it takes about 12 years to orbit the celestial sphere, which is the same as the Earthly Branches.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records of Tianguanshu", found that the year star was blue from actual observations, which was connected with the theory of "five elements", and officially named it "Jupiter".

Jupiter is a giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of the sun, but 2.5 times the mass of the other planets in the solar system combined.

Jupiter is a huge liquid hydrogen star. As the depth increases, at a depth of at least 5000 kilometers from the surface, liquid hydrogen is formed in a high-pressure and high-temperature environment.

It is speculated that the center of Jupiter is a core region containing materials such as silicate and iron, and the material composition and density are in a continuous transition.

Jupiter is a gaseous planet (also known as a Jupiter-like planet), that is, a planet mainly composed of non-solid matter. It is the largest planet in the solar system, with an equatorial diameter of more than 14 kilometers.

The density of Jupiter is 1.326g/cm, ranking second among the gas planets, but far lower than the four terrestrial planets in the solar system.

Therefore, all human colonies on Jupiter are built on Jupiter’s satellites. Humans have not yet been able to develop Jupiter itself. Jupiter has inexhaustible hydrogen and helium resources, and it will inevitably be the most important energy source for human beings in the future.

Jupiter has 79 natural satellites, which are distributed in orbits around Jupiter 20-2500 million kilometers away from Jupiter.

Of course, Jupiter is far more than these natural satellites, and there are more small satellites with a diameter of less than 3 kilometers.

So many natural satellites together form the complex Jupiter celestial system.

The largest satellite Ganymede is the core planet of the original empire, and it is also the birthplace and lair of the demons, and the source of the two solar system wars.

Ganymede is about 1000 million kilometers away from Jupiter, sorted from near to far from Jupiter, ranking seventh among all named satellites of Jupiter, and located in the inner core of the Jupiter system.

Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Ganymede and other large Jupiter satellites orbit almost all on Jupiter's equatorial plane, and the period of orbiting Jupiter is only a few days, which increases the risk of attacking Jupiter. Wei San's difficulty.

The empire has been operating on Jupiter for many years, and has built military bases on almost all Jupiter satellites, as well as a large number of space stations, forming the most rigorous defense system.

It is not an easy task for the coalition forces to capture all the satellites of Jupiter!
