There is a reason why the landing point is chosen on the side of Saturn. Generally speaking, when it comes to landing, most people's first reaction is that the satellite appears in the starry sky with Saturn as the background, and the satellite happens to be between Saturn and the landing craft.
, the landing craft flew straight over and landed steadily on the surface of the satellite...
Of course, there is no problem in landing like this, but the landing craft's route is almost perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the satellite orbit. If the engine is not started to slow down when it touches the ground, the only consequence is that it will hit the satellite surface at high speed, and eventually the boat will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
So what did Ye Han do?
After the Leishan aimed at the landing site, it carefully adjusted the speed of the battleship - this was a particularly delicate job. It not only had to consider the speed of the spacecraft, but also the impact of Saturn's gravity on the landing craft. After repeated calculations by the ship's computer, the result was obtained
The optimal speed for launching the landing craft was determined.
After the battleship reached the required speed, the hatch was opened and the landing craft was released. In order to prevent the landing craft from being exposed, Ye Han ordered that the engine must not be started under any circumstances and could only rely on inertia to fly closer to the meeting point.
This is why the battleship must adjust its speed.
The landing craft are all disguised as small celestial bodies. No matter the shape, speed, spectral analysis or other means, they will come to the conclusion that it is a small celestial body.
In order to confuse the aliens, the speed of the landing craft is very slow. It will gradually fly over a long distance of millions of kilometers in more than a week and quietly approach Panthea without alerting the aliens.
If aliens find the landing craft, they will only think it is a small celestial body passing through Saturn...
Ye Han didn't know if he could hide the aliens by doing this, but he had considered all the factors he could think of and done everything he could. The outcome could only depend on God's will.
After releasing the first landing craft, the Leishan adjusted its angle and conducted the second and third launches. The three landing craft disguised as small celestial bodies gradually flew towards their respective targets.
This is a dangerous and fatal journey, it can even be said to be a strategic adventure. If it succeeds, the situation of the enemy being strong and we being weak will be completely reversed; otherwise, mankind will completely fall into the abyss.
On July 19, the landing craft approached the rendezvous point as planned after a long journey of eleven days. At this moment, all eyes of the entire fleet were fixed on landing craft No. 1.
At this time, the distance between the landing craft and Saturn was less than 142,000 kilometers. On the left side of the landing craft was the huge Saturn, and on the rear left was the inconspicuous Pandora. On the other side of the landing craft was the legendary F ring, Saturn.
The outermost circle of the ring.
At about 14:00 in the afternoon, the landing craft gradually approached Panth Seventeen. Ye Han used the data link to connect to the landing craft and asked with concern: "Wang Yan, how is the situation?"
A few seconds later, he heard a somewhat distorted voice: "Report to the captain, everything is normal. Our boat is in position and we expect to land in seven minutes."
The speed of the landing craft is not slow. Since the route of the landing craft is almost parallel to the satellite orbit, the relative speed between the two is close to zero, so the landing craft does not need to slow down or start the engine, which perfectly fulfills Ye Han's requirement for a concealed landing.
Ye Han asked with concern: "Be careful." After saying that, he stopped talking and handed over the leadership to Wang Yan in front.
But with a few swipes of his fingers, the panoramic picture in front of him was immediately replaced by several virtual screens. Some were images of the interior of the landing craft, some were external images, and there were also distant and close shots.
These pictures come from the micro-satellites released by the landing craft. The reason why the satellites were released in advance is to help the landing craft adjust its attitude.
A few minutes later, Ye Han heard Wang Yan's voice again: "Get ready to log in!"
After speaking, he gently twisted the joystick, and the auxiliary thruster disguised as a stone tip on the right side of the landing craft quietly turned on, and silently sprayed out a stream of water vapor, pushing the landing craft closer to the satellite.
There is a virtual cross icon on Prometheus, which is like a large potato. That is the scheduled landing point. Wang Yan and the soldiers on the boat must bury the nuclear bomb at the landing point to ensure that this big potato is pushed to A.
ring.
Wang Yan also has the same icon on his helmet. If the two icons overlap, it means that the landing craft is in the correct direction. Otherwise, it is deviating from the direction and must be adjusted.
Wang Yan's eyes remained unblinking, and he kept correcting his direction so that the two crosses always overlapped each other. A thin layer of sweat oozed from his palms, forehead and nose.
The Big Potato got closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger. After more than ten minutes, it finally occupied the entire bottom. After a while, the ground got closer and closer, and the landing craft landed gently on the ground, as if it had hit the ground.
It bounced up and down like an angry rubber ball, and it repeated several times before it calmed down.
Pan's gravity is very low, and the landing craft is as light as a dragonfly touching water when it lands.
Wang Yan let out a sigh of relief: "Captain, our boat landed successfully and slightly deviated from the landing point, but it doesn't matter. We will just get out of the boat and carry it a few steps."
"Okay, complete the task as soon as possible!"
"Make sure to complete the mission!" After saying this, Wang Yan led the soldiers to leave the landing craft. He lifted the landing craft without any effort, walked dozens of meters and put it on the landing point.
Next, the soldiers fixed the landing craft first, set up a tent on one side of the landing craft that was exactly the same color as the ground, and then got into the tent and used lasers to dig holes in the ground.
According to the plan, Wang Yan and his team will place seven super nuclear bombs at different depths underground.
At this time, the Qingzhou and Shihe were attracting the attention of aliens from another direction. Although there was no formal exchange of fire, hundreds of alien warships had already flown out of the star ring, staring eagerly at the two human warships.
The aliens' formation was very powerful. If it weren't for the distance, the alien warships would have probably swarmed up and completely destroyed the two human warships.
Ye Han extremely doubted that the aliens had discovered the expedition fleet a long time ago, just because the expedition fleet only had three battleships, and the aliens had never paid attention to the expedition fleet... If the aliens had been paying attention to the expedition fleet, the aliens should
The landing craft has been discovered a long time ago, and we will never let the landing craft fall on Prometheus!
Regardless of whether the aliens knew it or not, the landing craft had accurately landed. After simple preparations, the marines on the boat used lasers to dig holes in the ground and planned to deploy several super nuclear bombs at different depths.
Landing craft No. 1 landed successfully. Ye Han was very relieved. He sat in his chair and asked, "Where is landing craft No. 2?"
He Lu glanced at the virtual screen: "We are close to the meeting point. We are expected to meet up with Phoebe in six hours and forty-seven minutes."
"Where's number three?"
"Basically in place, estimated arrival time is nine hours and twenty-four minutes!"
Ye Han said happily: "Not bad, don't forget to remind me when the second boat lands!"
"Yes..." Halfway through He Lu's words, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Captain, there's something going on!"
When the word "Tuwei" is used, it is always pronounced as Jupiter...
