Ruan Yinghua's finger finally landed on the virtual screen. With a swipe of his fingertip, a celestial body full of craters appeared on the screen.
If the moon is a pockmarked face, then this satellite is an ugly face that has been repeatedly destroyed by fireworks. One of the impact craters occupies a small half of the satellite, and there is a particularly conspicuous protrusion in the center, which reminds Ye Han of her mother's roll.
dumpling wrappers.
Ruan Yinghua said: "Mimas, with a diameter of 400 meters, is mainly composed of ice and a small amount of rock. It is too close to Saturn, and the gravity of Saturn pulls it into an egg shape. It is a bit like Europa. There may be ice under the sea, which is very suitable.
Aliens...what do you think?"
"Key goal!" Zhang Guoliang said.
Ye Han also agreed: "I just didn't find any signs of alien activities. Maybe I've learned better and am not as arrogant as before."
Ruan Yinghua laughed: "If you are arrogant, you will be beaten. Why don't you learn to behave... The next one is Enceladus!"
As he spoke, he swiped his finger, and a photo was changed on the virtual screen. Compared with Mimas, the potholes on the face of Mimas are almost invisible.
If you have a bandit face, then Enceladus can definitely be called a lady.
Ruan Yinghua said: "Ice volcanoes, underground heat sources and underground seas are simply replicas of Europa. What I didn't say is the point!"
"The key point among the key points!" Zhang Guoliang said seriously.
Ye Han continued to agree.
Ruan Yinghua swiped her fingers again and replaced it with a photo that looked very similar to the moon, but only had impact craters and no plains: "The next one is Titan... it's almost pure water ice, damn, it looks more like Europa than Enceladus.
two!"
Zhang Guoliang was no longer the focus this time. He looked at the photo and frowned: "Where is Dione?"
Ruan Yinghua traced his fingers again: "Ice volcanoes, tiger skin stripes, there may be an underground sea, I know it, I know it!"
Zhang Guoliang's voice became much weaker: "Rhea?"
"Ice and a little rock..."
"Phoenix... uh, what's going on with Rhea?" Zhang Guoliang asked smoothly, almost asking about Titan again.
"A mixture of water, dry ice and other substances!" Ruan Yinghua looked confused, "There is no satellite without water!"
Ye Han said softly: "This is beyond the snow line. As a celestial body, water is indispensable, especially for small celestial bodies. And the further out, the more water there will be."
The geographical snow line refers to the edge of the snow belt, while the astronomical snow line refers to the invisible line in the asteroid belt. Celestial bodies within this line rarely contain water, and after crossing that invisible line, various
All celestial bodies will contain some water ice, but some have more and some have less.
"What should we do?" Zhang Guoliang was a little anxious, "Saturn has thirty satellites, and our nuclear bombs are not enough!
Ye Han looked at Ruan Yinghua, and Ruan Yinghua also looked at Ye Han: "What do you think?"
"I have no idea." Ye Han said truthfully, "If the entire expeditionary force comes here, there might be hope, but just our few battleships... it's difficult!"
Ruan Yinghua gritted his teeth: "You have to fight even if it's difficult!" That's what he said, but the fierceness in his tone couldn't be concealed at all.
It's not that he feels guilty, but there are too many targets to choose from, and he really doesn't know which satellite is the focus.
Several people fell silent. In the end, they really couldn't think of a way. Zhang Guoliang suggested: "How about asking the superiors for their opinions?"
Ruan Yinghua sighed: "Then ask."
To be honest, he really didn't want to do this, because he was the captain of the Qingzhou and the temporary leader of the expeditionary force. He couldn't solve the problem when he encountered it. If he asked the superiors every day, wouldn't it look like he was incompetent?
However, faced with the complicated situation of Saturn, he could not get up even if he wanted to. This has nothing to do with his personal ability, it is simply that the situation is too complicated.
The joint report was quickly sent to Beidu, and the expedition fleet had to wait three hours for a response—only a response acknowledging receipt of the message, rather than the answer they wanted.
It has only been a few days since the end of the war, and Beiyuezhou is still busy dealing with the aftermath. All resources are being directed toward the aftermath. There is no telling when the expeditionary force will be restored.
But not long after the report was issued, the three people sat in the virtual conference room again. Ruan Yinghua brought up the photo of Mimas, with a bit of annoyance in his tone: "Did you find anything?"
Ye Han and Zhang Guoliang looked puzzled and looked at Ruan Yinghua with curious eyes.
Ruan Yinghua zoomed in on the photo, and not on Mimas, but on a corner of the photo, where are the bright rings of Saturn - Mimas is located above the rings of Saturn, and its gravity often causes disturbances in the ring material.
Ruan Yinghua pointed to the enlarged star ring and asked: "What about this time?"
The enlarged photo was still very clear. Ye Han could see at a glance that there were some different-looking small bright spots on the rings of Saturn, which were randomly distributed on the rings, like a handful of white sesame seeds sprinkled on a super flatbread.
Ye Han immediately pointed out the anomaly in the photo: "What is this?"
Ruan Yinghua directly took a photo, and after zooming in on the small highlights in the photo, Ye Han took a breath of air: "Alien spaceship?"
Zhang Guoliang also opened his mouth in shock: "What's going on?"
Ruan Yinghua said: "To be precise, this should be the larvae of an alien spacecraft."
"Isn't it?" Zhang Guoliang felt bad, "Here? On the halo?"
"I'm also very surprised." Ruan Yinghua changed another photo, this time it was a close-up of the halo. The continuous halo from a distance turned into scattered small celestial bodies in this photo, and an ice-white ship
The alien battleship is embedded among the scattered celestial bodies. There are many things like tree roots and streamers on the battleship that are connected to the nearby small celestial bodies. It is like a spider web with only longitude and no latitude, connecting all the nearby small celestial bodies.
On to the battleship.
Ye Han secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the thickness of Saturn's rings was only twenty meters. If it were thicker, these growing alien warships would hide in the rings and there would be no chance of discovering their remains.
With a swipe of his finger, he copied the photo in front of him, calculated the area of the halo in the photo, and then gasped again: "There are seven or eight ships in such a small area, how many such a large halo must there be?
"
Ruan Yinghua said: "I have already calculated it, it is about seventeen thousand."
"So many?" Zhang Guoliang's eyes almost popped out.
Ye Han thought thoughtfully: "So, we arrived just in time."
Ruan Yinghua sighed: "Ye Han, you are really right. Titan is not the focus at all. I believe that alien spacecraft are all planted in the halo. If we hadn't come over, we would have waited for these aliens to come.
Star Wars has matured...hehe..."
Zhang Guoliang's eyes sparkled: "I didn't say anything, let's fight."
Ye Han said: "Fighting is necessary, but Star Ring is so powerful. How can we kill all the enemy ships in one go?"
Classmate Lin Yi, I haven't figured out how to arrange your arrangements yet. You probably won't die for the time being... I didn't write you off before... Sweat!
