As soon as that number was spoken, General Lysen looked at him with surprise.

One hundred thousand! That's one hundred thousand warships!

Our opponent is a backward civilization that hasn't even mastered controllable nuclear fusion and high-speed ion propulsion technology, and still only uses chemical fuel for a portion of its propulsion. Do we really need to dispatch one hundred thousand warships?

Chief Haiwei likewise remained noncommittal: "Tell me about your combat strategy."

"From the perspective of industrial scale and construction efficiency, I believe the opponent may possess industrial and combat capabilities beyond our expectations.

I specifically analyzed the previous reconnaissance operations, and I believe their AI system is quite advanced and may possess powerful combat strength.

I will also choose Neptune as the primary target, and similarly select the largest moon of Neptune as the main attack direction.

But I will not attempt to directly take it down; instead, I will first tie down the vast majority of the opponent's forces, then try to take down a small moon, wedge in a nail, and then slowly expand outward.

I estimate that approximately thirty thousand warships and corresponding unmanned combat forces will be committed to the operation, while the remaining seventy thousand warships will be deployed across various parts of the planet, both to guard against external support forces and to provide internal support at any time."

Compared to General Lysen's plan, Harrier's plan was undoubtedly more stable and cautious.

Two different strategies and plans were now laid before Chief Haiwei.

After a moment of contemplation, Chief Haiwei sighed softly.

"Currently, within the civilization, there's a strong call for a quick victory. Many people have fallen into a state of blind optimism.

But I have always believed that caution and prudence are the greatest reliance our civilization has had to successfully evade this 'natural disaster' and survive until now.

Our civilization has an ancient saying: even a beast confronting a weaker opponent must exert its full strength.

This time, I believe it is still the case.

Although the opponent appears weak, we cannot let down our guard. Therefore… Harrier, I have decided to choose your plan.

This first battle is of paramount importance to our civilization. Fight well, do not disappoint me, and do not disappoint our civilization."

Harrier immediately stood at attention and bowed deeply to Haiwei: "Yes!"

Haiwei looked at Lysen, and meeting Lysen's slightly unconvinced gaze, softly said, "You are still young; you still need to learn more."

…

Tom's detector clearly saw a massive fleet departing Eris and beginning a rapid acceleration toward the inner solar system.

There were 100 large aerospace carriers alone! The number of other large warships or transport ships not carrying aerospace carriers was as high as a thousand.

Based on these numbers, the total number of warships in this fleet would likely exceed ninety thousand!

According to the current trajectory, this fleet's target should be Neptune.

"They are only launching an attack on one planet, rather than multiple planets simultaneously?

To dispatch so many warships for a single planet, this Bluetoth Civilization truly thinks highly of me…"

Within the Neptune system, Tom had stockpiled 50,000 warships and 100 million clones, deployed a large number of unmanned combat forces, and established a vast industrial system.

But this force was probably not enough.

Gazing at the massive fleet in deep space, Tom also began to deploy his troops.

Suddenly, a large number of cargo ships, warships, and more began to converge on Neptune.

In interstellar warfare, the movement of large-scale fleets cannot be concealed at all.

The attack direction of the Bluetoth Fleet could not be concealed, and neither could the movement of Tom's fleet.

Approximately one year of fleet travel and deployment time quietly passed.

At this moment, the total number of warships Tom had accumulated in the Neptune system had reached 160,000.

Simultaneously supporting 160,000 warships and their accompanying unmanned combat systems was already the limit of Tom's current logistical supply capabilities.

At Neptune, Tom had now pushed his combat strength to its limit.

He even moved his main consciousness to the underground base on Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, personally overseeing the battlefield to achieve the shortest communication delay and allow the fleet to exert its maximum combat power.

Give it his all, hold nothing back, and he must fight this first battle well!

At this moment, with the pale blue Neptune as a backdrop, Tom saw countless stars rapidly approaching his side.

Those were the enemy's elite manned warships, and at least ten times that number of unmanned combat forces!

Without any prior communication, without any threats or negotiations, war erupted in an instant.

Tom saw that the opponent's fleet split into two parts at this moment.

The larger portion began to spread out, vaguely encircling the entire Neptune system. The smaller portion, about 30,000 warships, protected by hundreds of thousands of unmanned warships, armed satellites, and unmanned minesweepers, charged rapidly toward Triton.

The main fleets of both sides were still hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, but the engagement between their unmanned combat forces had already begun.

At this moment, the almost infinite number of space mines, interstellar missiles, unmanned turrets, armed satellites, and so on, deployed around Neptune, were activated instantly under the coordinated command of the tactical version of Goku AI equipped within them and the strategic version of Goku AI located within the supercomputing ships.

The space mines, trailing long plumes of exhaust, lunged violently toward nearby targets, like piranhas sensing blood;

Fission fuel was finally installed in the nuclear missile thrusters, and under the irreversible and increasingly rapid fission reaction, they charged toward the opponent like an assassin's long sword, with an unstoppable momentum;

Inside the giant turrets deployed around the planet, massive electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons activated, and heavy projectiles weighing up to ten grams and traveling at twenty kilometers per second whistled away.

Unmanned warships swarmed forward, and smaller electromagnetic cannon projectiles and laser beams instantly engulfed the opponent's unmanned combat forces.

Facing such a fierce offensive, the Bluetoth Fleet's unmanned combat forces also unleashed their own assault.

Countless radar waves crisscrossed the battlefield, countless tiny electromagnetic cannon projectiles accurately struck incoming projectiles, and laser illumination and scorching instantly pierced through large unmanned warships.

In an instant, countless sparks erupted in the starry sky, as if millions of stars had suddenly appeared.

General Harrier, seated on his flagship, closely monitored the combat data fed back by his combat AI.

Then, in the next moment, he looked up, somewhat shocked.

This wasn't because the opponent's unmanned combat forces were too numerous.

He had already known that much.

What shocked him was… the opponent's combat AI, its level of intelligence, was actually so high?!

Even higher than our Bluetoth Civilization's?!
