After taking a rough look at the surrounding situation, the team leader had a preliminary understanding of the environment under the ice. He was not in a hurry to expand the scope of his reconnaissance. Instead, he found a place near the ice cave and nailed the fixed rope to the top of his head.
On the ice, shut down the individual aircraft and hang yourself under the ice.
The flight time of an individual aircraft is limited by fuel, so you should try to save as much as possible.
As soon as the leader of the group secured himself, the soldier following him fell out of the hole. After scanning around curiously, he also imitated the leader of the group and hung himself under the ice.
Just like that, the soldiers came down one by one and hung under the ice one by one, even Ye Han and Luo Qi were no exception.
After a few minutes, everyone arrived, and a group of people hung together like a sideshow, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Luo Qi poked at the dry vine curiously: "This thing should have nothing to do with aliens."
"Why do you say that?" the group leader asked curiously.
Luo Qi said: "Do you still need to ask? It's too fragile. Look at the alien things. Which ones are afraid of vacuum?"
"That's not necessarily true, right?" said the team leader, "Aren't insect trees afraid of vacuum?"
Luo Qi was immediately annoyed: "That was on Earth, this is Europa, the environment is different!"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Ye Han adjusted the light beam of the tactical light to make the light more concentrated. The beam shot into the deep darkness and could not be seen at a glance.
Luo Qi asked softly: "Boss, what should we do?"
Ye Han asked: "Team leader, you were the first to come down. Did you find any danger?"
The team leader said: "Except for these vines above our heads, we found nothing."
Ye Han said: "According to this, this place is safe for the time being. In this way, everyone will work in pairs, spread out with the ice cave as the center, expand the reconnaissance range, and report immediately if there is any discovery. If not, forget it. Everyone will wait for ten minutes
Return here to assemble, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the soldiers said in unison.
"Set off!"
The soldiers immediately divided themselves into groups. After determining their search directions, they first launched the individual aircraft, then retracted the fixed ropes, and then flew into the abyss-like darkness. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers were swallowed up by the darkness, leaving only Ye Han and Luo Luo.
Qi stayed where he was.
Luo Qi glanced around anxiously, but apart from the dots of light, there was only deathly silence and darkness in this place, and it was the kind of silence and darkness that made people murmur from the bottom of their hearts. Even though they had experienced countless bloody storms, their hearts felt
It is inevitable that some anxiety and uneasiness will arise.
After a while, Luo Qi really couldn't stand the atmosphere of this ghost place, so he took the initiative to break the silence: "Boss, can you find enemies here? Why don't you look in the water?"
"We'll talk about it later." Ye Han was not in a hurry, "First, find out the surrounding environment clearly."
"Then how do we look into the water? Just jump in?" Luo Qi asked again.
Powered armor is not afraid of water, but the water depth in this damn place should be thicker than the ice. Powered armor can only move in the shallow layers at most, and it cannot go to the deep layers. If aliens hide under the water, no one will be able to find them even if they are exhausted.
.
Ye Han didn't know this, but orders gave birth to orders, and he had to figure out the situation in the under-ice space before saying: "Let's take it one step at a time..."
Halfway through the words, a voice suddenly came from the radio: "Captain, the fourth group reported that we have reached the end. In front of us is an ice wall that has fallen into the water. There is no way."
Along with the newsletter, there is also a short video.
After opening it, the screen shows an almost vertical ice wall. The ice wall is covered with hanging vines. The closer to the water surface, the thicker the vines become. The vines at the water surface are several times thicker than a person.
Ye Han always felt that this scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this scene: "So fast? What is the straight-line distance?"
"Less than three kilometers."
"What about the left and right sides? Are these ice walls?"
"I don't know, there are ice walls everywhere you can see!"
"Okay, I understand." Ye Han said, "You two choose a direction, either left or right, and walk along the ice wall. If you find anything, report it immediately!"
"yes!"
"Group six reports, I also encountered an ice wall here!"
"Same as the four groups... In this way, for groups four and six, you all go to the right. For other groups, when they encounter the ice wall, they all go to the right to see if they can encounter something different."
The soldiers continued to explore the situation in the space under the ice, and Ye Han slowly drew a rough image of the space under the ice based on the data sent back by the soldiers. After a while, he got a incomplete map.
Although half of it is still missing, from the known parts, it can be roughly deduced that there is an irregular space with a diameter of about three kilometers under the ice.
Ye Han vaguely felt that something was wrong. If it were a normal space under the ice, the edge of the space should gradually submerge into the water, instead of being a straight wall of ice like now.
News came back from all directions, and the map of the under-ice space became more and more complete. Then Ye Han discovered that one corner of the map gradually extended outwards, and there was a gap in the outer edge of the space that should have been closed!
Ye Han immediately contacted the second team in this direction and asked what the second team had discovered. As a result, the second team replied that everything was normal.
The second group continued to move forward. After crossing the narrow gap, the space outside the gap became wider and wider, and seemed to be larger than the space inside the gap.
Ye Han immediately ordered each group to move closer to the gap, and even he himself rushed over with Luo Qi. The plan to gather in ten minutes became a piece of paper.
Soon after, Ye Han rushed to the gap and carefully inspected the situation here. He found that except that the distance between the top of the ice and the water surface was a little closer, there was no difference.
Ye Han suddenly thought of something. He put together the distance from the ice cave to the gap and the distance between the ice top and the water surface. He calculated it carefully and found that judging from the changes between the water surface and the ice top,
The diameter of this subglacial space should be no less than 70 kilometers. In other words, the ice walls discovered by each group are not the edge of the subglacial space at all.
Ye Han wanted to take a good look at the entire space under the ice, but the single-soldier aircraft really didn't have that long endurance. If he didn't withdraw the people, it was hard to say whether there would be enough fuel to fly back.
Ye Han made a prompt decision and ordered each group to return.
As for the issue of reconnaissance in the sub-ice space, let's leave it to the Jizhou to find a way. It has done its best to be able to bring people into the sub-ice space.
However, at this moment, Ye Han suddenly saw a faint light emitting from the nearby ice wall. Looking carefully, it turned out that it was a beam of light that was cutting through the ice wall.
Ye Han was happy now, thinking that this warship really knew how to choose a place. After the laser penetrated the ice, the exit was just above the water, with a height of no more than ten meters at most.
No, ten meters?
I really can't finish the second chapter, so I'm asking for leave... I feel less and less lately. Is it because I'm running out of inspiration?
