The strong light illuminated the deep sea, dispersing the darkness that had accumulated for millions of years, but the strong light only lasted for a short moment and then quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Although the light disappeared, the high temperature left by the nuclear explosion fermented in the dark deep sea. After only a very short time, the water vapor formed a violently expanding air mass. This high-temperature steam was discharged at an extremely high speed.
Sea water, sea water starts from an air mass and turns into a torrent that spreads in all directions. It is simply a shock wave sweeping across the water.
Soon after this powerful undercurrent dispersed, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam mass spread to its limit, and seawater poured into the underwater cavity under the strong water pressure. The water flows collided with each other, and eventually countless turbulent currents flowed.
All this happened in a very short period of time, and there were no living things visible to the naked eye within the scope of the explosion. However, although the nuclear explosion was over, a series of chain reactions caused by the explosion had just begun.
Just tens of seconds later, the undercurrent rushed to more than ten kilometers away. The two alien warships could not avoid it and were immediately overturned by the violent undercurrent. The hulls rolled up and down in the chaotic rapids, swaying left and right. After a while, they became solid.
The hulls of the ships could no longer withstand the huge water pressure. One hull deformed and cracked, like a piece of tofu flattened by a giant hammer; the other broke from it, like a grass stem broken by a pair of giant hands.
A huge amount of seawater poured into the battleship, filling the battleship in the blink of an eye. All the aliens were not spared, and they were all squeezed into meat patties by the powerful water pressure. Even their carapace was crushed by the huge water pressure.
This was not over yet, the torrent was still spreading unswervingly, and after a while, the downward torrent rushed to the bottom of the sea, kicking up countless silt and breaking the silence that had existed for countless years.
The upward rapids rush all the way to the sea surface, and when they reach the shallow sea, they still contain great energy, sweeping away all the flatworms in the shallow sea. They are either killed by the huge pressure in the rapids, or they are knocked against the ice wall by the rapids.
The rapids rushed into the space under the ice and immediately set off huge waves.
At this time, Europa has almost reached the perijove point, and the sea surface is close to the lowest point. There is a height difference of several hundred meters between the water surface and the ice bottom. This gap is too small, and the high tide will flood the subglacial space in an instant.
, the violent torrents had nowhere to vent, and under the action of water pressure, they were all squeezed into the ice cave leading to the ice surface.
The torrent rushes from the deep sea to the surface. The journey of more than 20 kilometers consumes a huge amount of energy. However, the energy contained in the torrent is still violent. Moreover, there are only dozens of ice holes with a diameter of about five meters on the ice sheet. For the undercurrent surging under the ice
In fact, this little space is not enough to fill the gap between teeth.
At this moment, Ye Han and all his comrades in the human fleet were like ants on a hot pot, staring at Europa and waiting anxiously.
A few minutes had passed since the detonation time, but Europa had not changed at all. Various speculations emerged in Ye Han's mind involuntarily, as to why the nuclear bomb failed to explode on time.
At this moment, dozens of water columns burst out of the ice at the same time, like an invisible giant hand squeezing Europa, or like dozens of super whales hiding underwater, spraying water into the air.
The anxious waiting suddenly turned into boundless joy, and countless voices were transmitted in the data link: "It's coming, it's coming...it's starting..."
Ye Han's eyes widened and he stared at Europa without blinking, for fear of missing even the slightest detail.
The water column rushed higher and higher, boiling as it rose. After rushing to an altitude of tens of kilometers, the water column had turned into a column of air. However, the water column turned into a column of air, and it still could not stop its rising momentum, reaching more than a hundred meters.
The outer space of kilometers gradually dissipated.
Viewed from the battleship, the backside of Europa looks like a boiling pot, steam is rising, and the air column is still rising!
Luo Qi was surprised: "Why do I feel that the water column is getting thicker and thicker?"
"Yes, I saw it too!"
Ye Han said: "There is a lot of pressure under the ice. With such a strong current, the mechanical impact alone can wash away a layer of the ice cave. Moreover, the temperature of the water is higher than the ice..."
Before he finished speaking, something strange happened again. The ice surface near the ice cave suddenly cracked, and extended from the ice cave into the distance. Water rushed out from the cracked ice. Wherever the ice cracked, the gushing water followed.
Where to.
As the ice crevices shared part of the pressure, the high water column began to fall back, but the fall was very slow.
"Oh my God!" He Lu's eyes widened, "Two hundred kilometers, Captain, the distribution range of the cracks is more than two hundred kilometers!"
"Great!" Luo Qi's eyes shone, "Boss, those enemy ships in the water should be finished, right?"
"Well..." Ye Han hesitated for a moment and shook his head honestly, "It depends on the distance between the enemy ship and the explosion point... The water pressure is so strong, the enemy ship probably didn't escape."
He thought that the nuclear bomb exploded at the predetermined depth, but he did not know that the nuclear bomb exploded at a depth of six kilometers higher.
"Even the ice has cracked, and the aliens can't escape even if they are hidden in the ice... Captain, is fifty million tons so powerful? Did I make a mistake and shoot a 100 million tons one?
"He Lu fell into deep self-doubt and always felt that something was wrong.
"You shot the missile, do you still know it?" Luo Qi looked doubtful, "The system cannot make mistakes. Think about it carefully. Did you make the wrong choice?"
He Lu thought carefully: "It should be 50 million tons..."
"It's not surprising that it's more powerful." Ye Han said, "Europa is covered in an ice shell. This thing... well, it's like setting off firecrackers in a pressure cooker. If you open the lid, the water will burst out.
If you put the lid on, the whole pot might explode."
Ye Han's description was not that accurate, but everyone understood the meaning and nodded vigorously.
At the same time, the headquarters was also discussing the issue of Europa.
After the ice cap broke, Zhuang Bo was the first to stand up and admit his mistake: "Commander, I took it for granted and underestimated the power of the nuclear bomb."
He never expected that the radius of the power of a 50-million-ton nuclear bomb could reach 200 kilometers. This was the data on the ice. The actual power under the ice must be greater.
Huo Qiang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this first. Based on this power, how many nuclear bombs are enough?"
Zhuang Bomo calculated: "For 50 million tons, more than 200 will be enough!"
"Great!" Wu Han was overjoyed, "50 million tons is more than 200 pieces, it is definitely enough!"
Zhuang Bo shook his head: "More than two hundred are just an ideal situation. The power range of the explosion is spherical. It is impossible for the balls to fit perfectly. The blast position must be adjusted. It is better to overlap the power than leave a gap... So I
I think it would be safer to use all the remaining nuclear bombs."
"Then use all the rest!" Huo Qiang's response was domineering, "Chief of Staff, contact the Enterprise and I will speak to Halsey personally!"
