The process of drilling holes was slow and monotonous. Luo Qi stared at the scattered light beams for a long time before he asked indifferently: "Boss, how deep do these holes have to be?"
"Of course the deeper the better."
"How long do we have to wait? It's more than a hundred kilometers away!"
Ye Han thought for a moment and said, "It should be about an hour and a half, based on Ganymede's experience."
Luo Qi added: "Then these holes are also different. The one on the front is faster, and the one on the side must be slower!"
It is the same ice layer one hundred kilometers thick. The beam from the front lands vertically, and the beam from the side lands obliquely. With the same vertical depth, the latter must be much longer than the former.
Ye Han said, "Just take it slow. What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work, just stop in front. Is there any other way?"
Luo Qi was about to speak when he suddenly heard a beep. He quickly called up the communication interface: "Boss, I received the document transferred from the Jizhou."
"what document?"
"It's a photo." Luo Qi transferred the file to Ye Han with a swipe of his finger.
Ye Han clicked on the file, and a photo immediately appeared in front of him.
That is a top or bottom view of Europa. The shooting angle is either the Antarctic or the North Pole. Half of Europa in the photo is bathed in sunlight and the other half is hidden in darkness. But this is not the point. The point is the more than thirty warships.
Also in the photo, a laser beam connects the battleship to Europa.
Europa in the photo looks like a wheel hub, and the laser beams are like spokes...well, there are no tires! More vividly, it looks like a special gear.
Ye Han couldn't help laughing: "Where did this thing come from?"
Luo Qi said: "The flagship said it was sent by the international fleet."
Ye Han raised his eyebrows in surprise: "No way, this angle is wrong!"
Europa and Ganymede are on the same plane, and both satellites are tidally locked. Like the moon, one side always faces the planet. No matter how they fly, there is no angle for taking this photo.
Luo Qi said awkwardly: "Flagship didn't say anything!"
"It's okay, I'm just asking." Ye Han casually swiped the photo and sent it to others: "Let's all take a look, this is a good angle."
Everyone couldn't help but marvel when they saw it, and they all felt that what Ye Han said was so right.
He Lu couldn't help but said: "It would be nice if there was one with a more positive angle and a stronger brightness."
In the photo, Europa is half-bright and half-dark, which is really a bit of a fly in the ointment.
Ye Han blinked after hearing this: "Luo Qi, send a suggestion to the flagship. Put up a satellite and take some photos from the Antarctic or the North Pole to see if there are any alien activities!"
He didn't mean anything special, he just thought the photo was a good one and he could keep it as a souvenir.
Luo Qi grinned and almost stopped laughing.
Isn't it just to take a photo? This is the reason. That's what the legendary singing high-profile is all about, right?
However, if the flagship can send such a photo, it is not a big deal for the Leishan to suggest it in turn... Although the warship is currently performing its mission, it is not in a real combat state. As long as it does not affect the mission, the fleet does not prohibit such innocuous things.
of interaction.
A few minutes later, Luo Qi received the reply from Flagship. After reading it, he immediately grinned: "Boss, Flagship said that the satellite has been released!"
Ye Han smiled and said nothing, suddenly thinking of his experiences over the years.
Memories are something that you can't stop once you start. Why else would writers always talk about "memory gates"? Isn't it because memories are like a flood?
I didn't think it was okay, but when I thought about it, Ye Han realized that my experience over the years had been really twists and turns. Thinking about it, I suddenly regretted not taking more photos over the years.
Fortunately, the power armor has a camera function. The armor takes pictures of every battle. When you have time, you can sort out the videos accumulated over the years and take screenshots of the most valuable parts as a souvenir.
While thinking about it, Ye Han suddenly heard Luo Qi exclaim: "It's all figured out!"
Ye Han suddenly came back to his senses, and his first reaction was to look at Europa, but there was nothing abnormal below the Leishan.
Turning to look at Luo Qi, his eyes swept across the direction of the Yushan, and he happened to see a surge of water rising from the ground directly below the Yushan.
This water flow surged out of the ice cave and quickly rushed into the sky, boiling as it flew high. The dissipated water vapor quickly condensed and turned into a columnar ice mist that shot straight into the sky.
This ice mist sprayed higher and higher, and soon blocked several nearby laser beams. Ye Han couldn't help but be surprised. This must be at least dozens of kilometers high, right?
I have long heard that there are geysers on Europa, but I never expected to see this scene in the ice hole created by a laser.
Almost out of instinct, Ye Han immediately took several photos in a row... This was not a sight that could be seen casually. If you miss this time, it is a matter of course whether you will have the chance to do it again in this life.
The ice fog had seriously affected the beam of the Yushan, and the Yushan simply stopped shooting. Not long after, each ship received an order from the Jizhou, requiring each ship to stop shooting immediately and put down the drone as soon as possible.
Well, the time is indeed almost up. If you continue to fire, you will penetrate more than just this one hole in the ice.
Each ship ceased fire and airdropped drones to the ground, and the Leishan was no exception. Dozens of airdrop boxes were dropped, and each ice cave could get one.
The drones landed one after another, and the drones that climbed out of the airdrop box immediately crawled towards the ice cave.
Ye Han didn't look in any other direction, his eyes fell directly on the ice cave directly below.
The other ice caves have some angles, and the drone can slide to the bottom even if it slips. Only the shaft directly under the battleship is a straight shaft. It is easy for the drone to climb in, but it is difficult to stand on the cave wall.
Maybe it will fall all the way to the bottom of the hole and break it into pieces.
Ye Han's worry soon became a reality. Several drones climbed to the edge of the ice cave and immediately stopped. One of the spiders always opened its mechanical legs, but its legs were still too short and could not be stretched out.
Still a long way to go.
The mechanical spider's rigid control program tells them that they cannot walk through this ice cave, which is less than one meter in diameter.
Seeing this, Ye Han sighed helplessly: "Do we have a drone that can go down?"
"No." He Lu shook his head.
"Forget it, let's look at other holes." Ye Han said.
Turning his gaze to the nearby area, he happened to see several mechanical spiders hugging into a ball. Many insect legs stretched out from this special ball, and then the ball rolled into an almost vertical ice, which was only a little better than the shaft.
Hole.
Ye Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If there was no problem with the ice cave closest to the center, then there would definitely be no problem with the others!
He couldn't help but start to look forward to it, imagining what the drone was transmitting back.
At this time, several drones crawled into the edge of the ice cave. They hooked their legs and slid rapidly along the 45-degree ice cave, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
