Ye Han had just exited the virtual conference room when he heard Luo Qi's voice: "Boss, the flagship ordered us to approach Europa immediately and gave us the coordinates and altitude."
Ye Han, the second monk, was confused: "What is it?"
He knew about the order, because reconnaissance on Europa was not a piece of cake. There was only a small chance of hitting an alien in three to five ice holes or dozens of ice holes, and it would not solve the problem at all.
If you want to find out the situation of aliens under the ice, you must "cast a wide net to catch more fish". The more ice holes you dig, the more likely you are to encounter aliens, so you can follow the clues and find out what is going on under the ice.
In order to increase the chance, Huo Qiang used all the forces he could mobilize, including a laser cannon, a hole, more than 30 warships, and more than 700 ice holes. The Leishan and other ships that had been responsible for covering the transport ship were not left behind.
, one ship counts as one, and all must participate in the battle.
If there were no laser cannons on the transport ship, Huo Qiang would definitely be able to call the transport ship on board.
However, the meeting only mentioned full participation, but did not mention things like coordinates. Where did the coordinates and height come from now?
Luo Qi said: "It should be a position on the synchronous orbit!"
Ye Han suddenly realized: "I understand, I leave it to you where to go, let's set off immediately!"
He Lu asked curiously while pointing his fingers: "Boss, what are we doing here?"
Ye Han twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly: "What else can we do? Just dig holes. We won't be able to find aliens."
After hearing what he said, everyone understood. Luo Qi immediately grasped the key point: "Just like Ganymede?"
Ye Han nodded: "Absolutely."
"What about the International Fleet? Aren't they coming?"
Ye Han said: "Didn't they spend some time on Ganymede? It will take another twenty hours or so to arrive. We only have a few days in total. We can't waste a whole day on this matter, right?"
Luo Qi couldn't help complaining: "Why are they always so slow? I'm helpless!"
"Let's go, the headquarters has communicated well, why are you so helpless!" Ye Han scolded him rudely, but immediately softened his tone, "I didn't take this lead well before, but starting from today, there will be no one on the ship."
Everyone, please keep your mouth shut, no one is allowed to say such words that are not conducive to unity!"
The conflict between Beijing and Washington is quite deep. The high-level relationship between the two parties seems to be good, but the relationship in private is just that. To use an old saying, there are only interests between countries.
Aliens are a threat to the entire human race. The interests of Beidou and Washington are highly consistent on this point. It is precisely because of this that there is in-depth cooperation between the two parties. Judging from the current situation, Beidou and Washington are in a honeymoon period.
——No matter what the senior management thinks in their hearts, on the surface it must be a harmonious atmosphere.
To describe it in the official tone of official stereotypes, it is a political principle that must be observed. If someone like Luo Qi, who is not conducive to unity, is taken advantage of by someone with intentions, the result will not be as simple as a casual reprimand, but all the punishments will be light.
In the past, Ye Han didn't care much. Under his leadership, few officers and soldiers on the Leishan could keep their mouths shut, but somehow his words reached Huo Qiang's ears. He had just been scolded by Huo Qiang a few days ago.
After a meal, you must be more careful in the future.
But Ye Han definitely couldn't tell his men these words. Luo Qi hit the muzzle of the gun again at this time, just in time for Ye Han to use it to beat others.
Luo Qi shut his mouth and accepted the punishment honestly.
He Lu quickly smoothed things over: "That's right, when will you change your bad mouth? Can you say such nonsense?"
Luo Qi didn't say anything, but he immediately gave He Lu a resentful look.
He Lu couldn't take a breath and almost choked to death on the spot.
Ye Han saw through He Lu's purpose at a glance: "Okay, okay, you don't have to speak for him. This matter ends here. No one can do it again in the future, understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone replied in unison.
A short interlude ended. Soon after, the Leishan flew near Europa, and He Lu loudly shouted: "Captain, our ship has arrived at the designated location!"
Ye Han immediately replied: "Adjust the attitude, the bow of the ship is down!"
At this time, the stationary Europa is at the foot of the Leishan. On the left is the Wushan, which arrived together, and on the right is the Yushan, which has arrived in advance.
The Yushan had completed its preparations long ago. The bow of the ship was facing Europa. At the same time as Ye Han gave the order, all the laser main guns on the Yushan fired. However, the laser beams were not concentrated together, but all dispersed.
Each laser beam falls equally on the ice sheet below the Yushan.
At the same time, the Black Mountain to the right of the Yushan, the battleship to the right of the Black Mountain, and the warships further to the right opened fire one after another. Each ship lined up along the equator of Europa, and all lasers were fired within 20 degrees north and south latitude.
within the coverage area.
If we look at it by Earth's standards, the firepower falling from the sky basically covers the entire tropical area... Of course, Europa does not have this distinction at all.
The Leishan slowly rotated under the control of He Lu. After a while, the bow of the ship was aimed at Europa. After a few more minutes of fine-tuning, the battleship was finally fixed over Europa.
Drilling holes is nothing else. The relative positions of the battleship and the satellite must be fixed. Otherwise, if the laser cannon is firing and the battleship moves, the laser will not be able to aim at the ice hole that has been drilled. The only result will be that all efforts are wasted.
It is not easy to fix the position. Even if each ship maintains its position with all its strength, it is impossible to really stay still. Huo Qiang has long been mentally prepared for the warship to move.
Anyway, his goal is just to create a batch of ice holes that can pass drones. There is nothing wrong with being crooked, but being too straight is not conducive to the movement of drones.
He Lu repeatedly confirmed the position of the battleship and loudly reported: "Captain, our ship's position has been fixed and can fire at any time!"
"Okay, the reactor power is increased to 80%, the laser cannon is aimed at the target, the power is 17%, and fire!"
Following Ye Han's order, all the laser main guns on the ship fired at the same time. The beam immediately fell on the ice, and the ice was immediately melted by the laser, and then turned into rising steam that quickly dispersed.
The reason why the power of the laser cannon is reduced is because the burden of forty-eight cannons firing at the same time is too great. In order to ensure the continuity of the laser and to protect the optical components of the laser cannon, the emission power must be reduced. Seventeen percent has been achieved.
is the limit power of continuous emission.
Good ice is not a solid target. Even if it is only 5% of the transmitting power, it can melt the ice. However, if the power is reduced, the hole drilling time will be longer. In this case, it is really not a big deal.
