After Ye Han entered the vine forest, he realized that something was really wrong with the water.
He first saw a few dead bugs. They died very strangely. They looked like they exploded from the inside. The exploded flesh and skin flew everywhere. The remains of the explosion were filled with frozen ice stubble. The dead bugs looked like they were dead.
The reason seems to be that too much water filled the stomach and it burst.
Ye Han knew very well that this was impossible, but he immediately thought of the water bugs mentioned in the prisoner's diary. He had seen water bugs several times on Europa. Although the exploded bugs were beyond recognition, the remains of the bugs could not be seen from the remains of the bugs.
You can actually see a little shadow of water bugs on it.
In this way, the situation is obvious. Water bugs are very fragile giant bugs. They have an outer skin with amazing tension, but no strong carapace. When breaking the chrysanthemum gate, these water bugs are probably sucking the water contained in the giant vine.
As a result, the ice cave lost pressure after the gate broke, and the water in the waterworm's belly boiled due to the loss of pressure, eventually bursting the waterbug's belly.
No matter how tough their skin is, it can't withstand the constant vaporization of water in their belly. If they don't swell to death, they will freeze to death.
But what does a few dead water bugs mean when the water is wrong?
Ye Han curled his lips and continued to move forward. He didn't feel much at first, but the further he went into the vine forest, the clearer the roots of the giant vines that penetrated deep into the ice. Although the roots of the vines were white like the giant vines,
The color of the giant vine is closer to milky white than condensed ice white.
Moreover, the ice layer deep in the vine forest seems to be more transparent than at the edge.
He couldn't help but look down along the vine roots, trying to see how long they were, but the vine roots penetrated deeply into the ice. Before long, the vine roots were mixed with the ice and could no longer be distinguished from each other.
Until he was about to meet up with Luo Qi, Ye Han was shocked to find that the ice was as transparent as a layer of glass. Through the ice, he could see the main root of the giant vine slowly swaying underwater...swaying?
"This is impossible!" Ye Han exclaimed.
Ganymede is not the Earth. The average surface temperature of this damn place is more than minus 170. According to calculations by the astronomical community, the thickness of Ganymede’s ice layer should be between 100 and 150 kilometers, but this
The depth of the ice cave is only a dozen kilometers. Even if the biochip calculation is wrong, it is no more than fifteen kilometers at most. How can there be flowing liquid water?
Moreover, the water under the ice is extremely clear. If you look carefully, you can still see some unnamed alien creatures in the water.
A thought suddenly came to Ye Han's mind: Are these strange underwater creatures released by aliens, or are they native species of Ganymede?
At this time, the Brigadier came out from behind a giant vine and said something in a very emotional tone, interrupting Ye Han's random thoughts.
Qi Yue promptly translated: "He said... Well, please look up. He also said that everything is possible. Water is the source of life, and aliens cannot do without water."
Ye Han raised his head and looked up, and was shocked to see that the dome of the ice cave was as transparent as the ice beneath his feet, and there were actually swaying giant vines and swimming alien creatures on the dome!
Is there water on it too?
Ye Han almost bit his tongue. This is so fucking unbelievable. This ice cave is actually sandwiched between two layers of ice lakes... No, the liquid water layer in this kind of ice cannot be called an ice lake, it can only be called an ice layer.
of blisters.
If only this ice hole is a sandwich biscuit between ice bubbles, what if there are ice holes on top of the ice bubbles, and there are ice bubbles on top of the ice holes...
He stared blankly for a while before calming down, exhaling and saying: "Tell him that I understand what he means, and tell him that I think this place is probably an alien water plant."
After listening to Qi Yue's translation, the Brigadier immediately nodded and started speaking.
Qi Yue translated: "He said that he very much agrees with your opinion. He also said that the ambient temperature of Ganymede is so low that it will definitely not be easy for aliens to obtain water. The water plant must be an important strategic facility for aliens. It should be nearby
Without a second water plant, we will soon face a strong enemy counterattack... The brigadier general said that this place is too eye-catching and it is not a good idea to occupy this place. It is best to leave here as soon as possible."
At this time, Luo Qi also came over with a few people: "Sir, do you think we have entered an alien industrial zone?"
Ye Han's eyes lit up: "Tell me what you think."
"That's what I thought." Luo Qi organized his words, "Didn't the Italians find a group of giant worms in Cave No. 8? Then they discovered a water plant here. Maybe this area is an alien planet.
It’s a heavy industrial zone for humans, I think we should continue walking inside, maybe there will be other discoveries.”
Ye Han nodded thoughtfully: "Qi Yue, tell him that you can't walk the way you came. If you want to leave here, you have to keep walking forward. But the further you go, the deeper you go into the alien's lair. What's the point of walking out?"
The lower the possibility, ask him what he thinks."
Qi Yue exchanged a few words with the brigadier general and said: "Commander, he said that all roads lead to Rome. He said that he was also worried that he might encounter unpredictable dangers when leaving here, but it is better to go out than to be trapped here. He also said that if you
We are sure to explode the ice, and he also fully agrees."
Ye Han looked at the transparent ice above his head and smiled bitterly: "Without the water above, it would have exploded." Because of the refraction of the ice, he couldn't calculate how thick the ice above his head was, but he was sure that no matter how thick the ice was, it would have exploded.
Neither the ice above nor below can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of nuclear bombs. If a nuclear bomb is detonated in an ice cave, the consequences are really unpredictable.
The brigadier raised his head and said a few words, and Qi Yue translated: "Commander, he said it's okay if it explodes. We can swim up, maybe we can find a way out... He also said that if we continue to move forward, we will definitely be among the aliens.
It’s expected, but the aliens definitely didn’t expect us to take the risk of exploding the ice.”
Ye Han frowned and said: "That's what I say, but the consequences of exploding the ice are really unpredictable. It is possible to find a way out, but it is more likely not to be found. You tell him that I mean to keep walking. When there is really no other way
Then turn back and blast the ice."
The brigadier general said a few more words, and Qi Yue translated: "He said that when he wants to come back, it's not certain whether he can come back."
Ye Han snorted coldly: "Tell him, if he had drilled a hole in the ground in Africa, he would definitely not have the guts to say that."
Qi Yue was stunned: "Direct translation?"
"Let's be honest." Ye Han said.
The Battle of Morobida is still one of the most costly ground battles for the coalition forces. All base groups and Chinese troops suffered heavy losses. Those experiences are still a lingering nightmare in Ye Han's heart to this day.
Ye Han didn't know whether the Italian army participated in that battle, but it was impossible for an Italian brigadier general not to know about the battle.
