The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 389 Pre-war Exploration of Venus
When Cheng Ping asked Luo Ji to contact Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu was already on his way to low earth orbit.

Now that the three legions have assembled, the war is imminent.

Wu Xinghai is the commander-in-chief of this battle, and the headquarters is located 200 million kilometers away from the inner side of the earth.

This is both the headquarters and the front line, because all warships can strike Venus from here.

Jiang Yu came to the headquarters not to supervise the battle, but to understand the battle situation as soon as possible.

When he came to the command room, Wu Xinghai and the senior officers of the three regiments were having a pre-war meeting. Jiang Yu didn't disturb everyone and stood quietly in the corner to listen.

At the meeting, the information was first collected. According to the information obtained from the PDC, the power of Venus seems to only affect the targets in Venus's low-earth orbit.

(During the Great Migration, the PDC completely lost information about Venus, so Cheng Ping and others knew nothing about it.)
According to the information provided by the last black person, as long as they have the ability to destroy the planet, it seems that Venus can be forced to submit.

Wu Xinghai believes that when the situation is unknown, we should first focus on probing, and send a large number of modified J135 formations to Venus for investigation.

This plan made the senior military officers very dissatisfied. Most of them believed that if more than 1 spaceships had a saturation attack, two shots from monster cannons would be unacceptable. Not to mention Venus, even Jupiter would definitely not be able to stand it.

Playing so timidly, let the PDC who is close at hand see a joke!
After listening to the officers' complaints, Wu Xinghai said seriously: "Then have you ever thought that the PDC's exploration of Venus was already more than 100 years ago!

"The key point was that Venus had no abnormalities at that time, but now, Venus, which has been 'hanging over the heads of mankind' for an unknown number of years, suddenly has so many abnormalities. Is the information from more than 100 years ago still credible?
"There is also information from the black people, their technology is so advanced, is there no way to destroy a planet?

"But why are they still getting the shit out of Venus?"

All the officers in the room were silent, and many of them showed surprise or thought.

Wu Xinghai said again: "After this war is over, I will report to the higher authorities about the arrogance and arrogance that are spreading in our army!"

"No need to report, I heard it now." Jiang Yu, who had been listening in, took two steps forward from the corner, and he glanced at the officers:
"Three years ago, we achieved a victory worthy of the pride of all mankind, but I dare not forget for a moment, our sacrifice in this victory!

"I hope you never forget too!
"In interstellar wars, especially in the face of unknown situations, you must be more cautious!"

The atmosphere in the headquarters became extremely oppressive.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath: "Let's fight the war first, and we will talk about these ideological work after the war is over."

With the endorsement of the Wallfacer, Wu Xinghai's cautious tactics were carried out to the end. First, he sent a transport ship to transport the J135 formation, and landed on the surface of Venus for pre-war reconnaissance.

After the meeting, the senior officers returned to their respective posts, and the war began.

Twenty small transport ships transported 135 J[-]s to land on Venus in an assault formation.

After the autobiography of Venus began to reverse, the atmosphere became more irritable, and the strong wind made J135 use all its strength to maintain the planned orbit.

However, the login operation went smoothly and did not encounter any obstacles.

Judging from the data sent back by J135, drastic changes have taken place on the surface of Venus!

First of all, the wind continued, the visibility was very low, and the atmospheric pressure increased compared with before, and the temperature was more than 100 degrees higher. Even the modified J135 was a bit unbearable.

In order to adapt to the combat environment of Venus, the First Army thickened the armor for a large number of J135s and increased the power of their refrigeration facilities.

Ten thousand J135s, divided into hundreds of teams, cruised on the surface of Venus.

And Jin Xing didn't seem to respond at all, which made many officers wonder, could Jin Xing really be an enemy?Looking at the images sent back, this is obviously a planet with a complicated climate!
Suddenly, the communications staff said: "Squad 16 has received a radio signal!"

In the command room, Jiang Yu, Wu Xinghai and other staff were stunned. This planet has not been visited by humans for more than a century. How could there be radio signals from humans?

After Wu Xinghai paused for a second or two, he ordered decisively: "Immediately track down the source of the signal, send Team 16 to investigate, and other teams will support at any time.

"Attempt to decipher the signal now!"

A few seconds later, the communications staff reported again: "The signal has been deciphered. It's a distress signal, but it's just an encrypted message from the PDC. That's why Yinhe-[-] couldn't complete the decipherment immediately."

This is even more strange, how could there be a distress signal?

Jiang Yu rubbed his forehead and said, "I suddenly remembered the story of 'ghost signal' I heard when I was a child!"

Wu Xinghai couldn't help smiling and said: "I've heard similar stories, if not as expected, Team 16 should be ambushed."

But he doesn't plan to withdraw the 16th squad, and exchange 36 J135s for some intelligence, which is a good deal.

But the story is just a story after all. The 16th team has never had any accidents. After more than 20 minutes of searching, a huge shadow appeared in front of them.

On alert, they approached the shadow, only to find that it was a huge spaceship sunk into the ground.

It's just that the exterior of the spacecraft looks very dilapidated, like a pile of scrap iron.

The staff members let out a sigh in unison. Judging from the appearance, this should be a human spaceship. From the human spaceship, human encrypted signals are sent out, which is very reasonable.

It would be good to investigate the origin of this spaceship now.

Two seconds later, based on the comparison of the shape of the spaceship, Yinhe II determined that the spaceship should be the "Enterprise" warship belonging to the PDC.

In the war three years ago, the battleship cooperated with the "water drop" to raid the colony of the solar system country on Mercury.

As a result, it was hit head-on by the defenders of Mercury, and the battleship "Enterprise" disappeared in the battle.

Later, the PDC judged that it was destroyed by the First Army, but Sophon's explanation was that within 3 minutes after the war started, the battleship disappeared.

At the time, the PDC military was struggling and didn't take it seriously.

Looking at the report now, Sophon said "disappeared", and did not say that he was destroyed or disappeared.

It's likely that even Sophon didn't notice when the Enterprise disappeared or where it went.

Now the "Enterprise" has been found, but it is tens of millions of kilometers away from the orbit of Mercury. If Mercury and Venus are in different directions from the sun, the distance between the two will be more than one astronomical unit.

Why does "Enterprise" appear here?
The 16th team, and the 18th and 20th teams who came to support, began to try to explore the interior of the battleship.

Because there is a distress signal, it is not ruled out that there are still people alive, so violent demolition cannot be carried out, and the search process is relatively slow.

At this time, the 189th team discovered a huge deep pit on the surface of Venus.
