Chapter 224 217 War Terrain

People on Earth were restless and anxious, a situation Bai Zhongqi had anticipated. Some elevated themselves during this time, like Cui Zhihao, who chose to sacrifice their lives for the cause of human freedom and Earth's civilization, while others revealed the selfish side of human nature at this critical moment, showcasing fear, cursing, accusations, and even exploiting the situation for profit.

Just yesterday, Bai Zhongqi received some news that made him feel both angry and helpless. A scam ring had capitalized on people's fear of Earth's destruction; one of the scammers claimed to have connections with Bai Zhongqi, and that the Iridium Star citizens were secretly planning to flee Earth and had built a spacecraft like Noah's Ark. This "Noah's Ark" had limited space, and in the spirit of saving more people, the fraudster claimed that the highest bidder could secure a spot on the ship.

Many people believed this scam, and to obtain a ticket to escape Earth and the dangers, they paid millions or even billions of funds. By the time the Star Alliance's law enforcement department apprehended this scam ring through web information, the scammers had already amassed over two billion in illegal profits.

Their fraud was one thing, but what was most despicable was that they spread rumors that the Iridium Star people had never intended to fight, suggesting that the Star Alliance was set up to use Earthlings as a shield. Although this rumor was quickly contained, it still caused a certain extent of negative impact.

Under wartime military law, the Star Alliance directly sentenced these scam artists to death and reported it globally, warning those with impure intentions and strengthening the confidence of people worldwide.

Originally, many countries on Earth practiced a so-called humane policy of no death penalty, but the Star Alliance greatly escalated the sentencing scale. The Star Alliance does not subscribe to the concept of political correctness prevalent on Earth, where it's unthinkable for individuals who pose a threat to others or the nation to enjoy the same rights as law-abiding citizens. Notably, individuals who cause extremely adverse effects must face severe punishment.@@@@

A general from Lighthouse Country appeared astonished and said, "Doesn't that mean we could ensure Earth's complete safety by guarding the only passage into the Local Interstellar Cloud?"

Mo Laitong replied, "In theory, that is the case, but practically, it would be quite difficult. Even if there is only one path, due to the unique characteristics of space, the emergence range of an entire fleet could be within 1-5 astronomical units, which makes our defense far more challenging. We can indeed set up a substantial amount of defensive installations in this area and deploy fleets, but if the enemy plans to separate and act from the beginning, this could also pose a problem for us since our forces are limited."

Another general from Pakistan inquired, "What, then, are the Universe Army's thoughts on this?" Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

Mo Laitong glanced at the Universe Army Commander, Xu Lanzhou, and the female general responded, "We will establish a warp speed restriction field generator in this area to guide the enemy into the regions we are aware of as much as possible. Besides installing restriction field generators in the regions mentioned earlier, we will also set up large-scale defensive weapon platforms as complementary firepower for the warships. I have also advised the Chancellor to densely deploy space mines in these areas."

Space mines are essentially the mines used in space. Although not large in size, these weapons are powerful and somewhat concealed, enabling mass deployment in space, posing a significant nuisance for the enemy. If there are too many space mines, and they're well hidden, it becomes quite troublesome.

It is rare for warships to foolishly fly into mines, so the main function of space mines is to restrict the enemy's movement. Particularly on the outskirts of a Planetary Gravity Well, deploying space mines on a large scale makes it difficult for fleets to approach planets to launch attacks or bombard them.
