201: Chapter 201 Earth-Moon Microwave Array

The inner ring of the Solar System was the first to fall into chaos.

The closer to the sun, the scarcer the resources.

Gao Yuan now understood why the civilizations of Venus and Mercury would join forces to attack him.

If they didn't take Earth, Venus and Mercury would never be able to expand. Venus and Mercury were much smaller than Earth, and Earth had a massive satellite like the Moon, whereas the satellites of Venus and Mercury were negligible.

In comparison, the fourth planet of the Solar System, Mars, had much more abundant resources. Because it was adjacent to the Asteroid Belt, Gao Yuan had previously mined there, but unfortunately, he hadn't built any human settlements in that area.

If he had built a large base and migrated people there at the time, Mars would likely have been within the human sphere of influence.

However, it was too late for such talk now.

Constructing a defensive line was the most important thing now.

He had to defend not only against Venus and Mercury but also from the direction of Mars and Jupiter.

Gao Yuan didn't know the situation of the Jupiter civilization.

Jupiter was a gas giant, a planet not very suitable for the emergence of civilization. If there were people, they were most likely on Jupiter's moons, as it had so many of them.

Gao Yuan was currently at the Guanghan Palace Base, beginning the construction of the Moon Base.

Gao Yuan divided the Moon into 5,600 sectors, each requiring the installation of a microwave generator.

These microwave generators would produce a powerful magnetic field at their base and release ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic waves from their tips.

Similar devices would also be installed on the surface of the Earth.

A microwave matrix would then be formed between the Earth and the Moon.

Once activated, all metallic objects between the Earth and the Moon would be destroyed.

Ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic waves have extremely strong penetration. Upon entering the interior of a metal, they cause irregular movement of electrons within the metal atoms, leading to a rapid increase in internal energy. When the temperature reaches a certain point, the metal can even melt.

If there were protruding, irregular metal objects, such as a warship's radar, the ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic waves would generate an electric field, causing an ionization effect and leading to an explosion!

To put it simply, Gao Yuan intended to turn the space between the Earth and the Moon into a giant microwave oven!

Everyone knows that microwave ovens cannot heat metal objects, or they will catch fire or explode!

That was exactly what Gao Yuan was doing now.

Once completed, any warship that intruded would become scrap metal and part of Earth's resources.

Of course, this plan was not perfect.

It required a massive amount of energy, and because the area involved was so vast, it would take a long time to build.

More importantly, once activated, it would not distinguish between friend and foe!

Out of a pile of imaginative plans, Gao Yuan had chosen this one at a glance.

Time was not an issue. Gao Yuan fully activated the 3D intelligent precision printers, sourcing materials locally, smelting them on-site, and installing them where they were needed...

This way, as long as the plan was prepared in advance and the layout was in place, results could perhaps be seen in two or three months.

The benefit of this plan was its sufficiently wide coverage area. Combined with ultra-long-wave space radar and sensors, as soon as an external enemy entered, they would only need to activate the microwave array in the corresponding sector to achieve defensive goals. It was more reliable than missiles and more efficient than a fleet.

Now, Gao Yuan was fully promoting the Earth-Moon Microwave Array project.

As for the energy supply for the microwave generators, Gao Yuan planned to use Antimatter directly. He would use robots for maintenance on the ground. While robots were unreliable in space combat, they were very dependable for ground-based work. With robots guarding them, there was no fear of trouble from certain lowlifes!

Furthermore, the defense system would be easier to command.

The robots were safer on the ground than in space.

Even if hostile forces wanted to use high-energy rays to damage the robots' control systems, it would be difficult. Earth's thick atmosphere served as a natural protective layer.

It was fundamentally impossible to cross the atmosphere silently.

Besides the microwave array.

The fleet was of paramount importance.

Gao Yuan wanted to rebuild a high-specification Super Sun-class fleet.

After this battle, Gao Yuan no longer kept any secrets. He made all the data on the warships public. Scientists from the Xia Kingdom began to fully research the warship data, and by combining the wisdom of the 1.4 billion people in the game, they prepared to develop a new generation of Constellation-class warships!

...

Time passed slowly amidst the intense busyness.

Black Fish Technology had now merged with government departments and was known by the public as the 'Second Administrative Council'! This was because the entire Xia Kingdom relied on Black Fish Technology to provide various supplies, including clothing, Nutritional Paste, game helmets...

The four basic elements of life—clothing, food, shelter, and transportation—were all related to Black Fish Technology. Constant Temperature Clothing and Nutritional Paste were essential necessities for everyone.

90% of current buildings were constructed using Construction Insects. The Construction Insects and the Optical Quantum Computers that controlled them were provided by Black Fish Technology. The space bus and Flying Cars used for travel had truly turned the Earth into a global village. It took only a few hours to circle the globe, making it possible to reach any destination worldwide within four hours!

It could be said that every aspect of life depended on Black Fish Technology.

Recently, however, the situation had been slowly changing.

As the Xia Kingdom took control of the entire world, its territory expanded several times over. The blight that had previously swept the globe had somehow begun to slowly disappear...

Plants began to grow wildly in the wild.

When there was no food before, even if some people were unhappy with Black Fish Technology, they didn't dare to say it publicly. But now, plants were growing again, and food crops could grow once more.

The entire Earth had become part of the Xia Kingdom.

Some people began to spread alarmist rumors on social media, asking whether the Earth belonged to humanity or to Black Fish Technology.

They claimed Black Fish Technology had become too powerful to control and would hold all of humanity hostage.

Even many official departments shared this sentiment. Black Fish Technology was too dazzling, making everyone else seem incompetent by comparison.

Now that they could grow their own food, Gao Yuan also collaborated with the Academy of Sciences to make many technologies public, including the technology for Constant Temperature Clothing, Construction Insects, Optical Quantum Computers, and even warship technology...

It could be said that this was the best era for the Xia Kingdom.

It would be even more perfect if it weren't for Gao Yuan.

Lin Mei was currently reading the posts. The more she read, the angrier she became, until she finally just turned off her wrist machine.

She stood up to go out for some fresh air just as Zhang Baiyi arrived.

"Sister Lin, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

"Brother Baiyi, when will Brother Yuan be back?"

"Him? He's busy on the Moon. He's busier than Officer Zhou right now!"

Lin Mei pouted. "Brother Yuan has done so much for the Earth. If it weren't for him fighting so hard recently, humanity would probably be gone. Yet now, there are so many people hating on him online! I just saw an article by a major influencer saying Brother Yuan is cruel, that he's leading humanity into an abyss, and... saying that all the trouble we're facing now was caused by him!"

Zhang Baiyi spat. "Those dogs, actually cursing Gao Yuan! But Sister Lin, don't be so angry. With so many people, there's bound to be some trash. Just ignore them and do your own thing!"
