At 15:14 on July 19, 2033, the No. 1 landing craft completed the placement of the nuclear bomb on Titan 17 and reported the mission status to the Leishan.
Ye Han immediately gave instructions and ordered the No. 1 landing craft to temporarily stay on the Proteo Seventeenth standby.
It's not that we don't want to pull people back, but that a group of enemy ships are blocking the way between Leishan and Phoebe Seventeen. If we want to return to the battleship, the landing craft must make a full circle. Instead of flying around in the air densely populated by enemy ships, it is better to
Continue to stay safe on Phoebus.
At least until the nuclear bomb is detonated, the safety of Boat No. 1 is very guaranteed.
There were still more than four hours before the No. 2 boat landed. In order to delay the landing, Ye Han repeatedly slowed down the Leishan and used long-range weapons from time to time to tease the aliens' nerves. He successfully angered more than 20 ships from the Protean Seventeenth.
The alien battleship, the two sides played hide and seek near the halo, and for a while no one could do anything to the other.
It's actually not quite accurate to say that. The Leishan was as slippery as a loach, denying the enemy ships a chance to get close. The alien battleships couldn't catch up or reach them, so they could only keep working in a hurry.
Ye Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If the United Fleet was dragged to Saturn, it would really be nothing to deal with those alien warships in the halo. If the Turkish alien fleet hadn't rushed to the vicinity of the Earth, the United Fleet would have been unable to escape and had no choice but to fight with the Earth.
If the outer fleet engages in a head-on confrontation with Maimang, the combined fleet's losses will definitely not be that great.
Ye Han felt that as long as the command was correct, the loss of one-third of the battleships of the combined fleet was an exaggeration.
It's a pity that there are no what-ifs in reality. He just thought about it in his heart. If he really expressed these thoughts, he would be drowned alive.
Time passed quickly amid the entanglement between the two sides. At about 20:00 that night, the No. 2 landing craft approached Phoebe.
However, the No. 2 boat had much better luck than the No. 1 boat. The planned landing point actually turned into a big pit... You don't need to ask to know that an alien warship took off from the pit not long ago.
The No. 2 boat was all very happy. No matter whether the enemy ship took off after the landing craft landed or remained hidden underground without taking off, it would not be a good thing for the No. 2 boat.
The former will directly overturn the landing craft, while the latter will be more troublesome. It will dig holes directly into the battleship hidden underground. What are the consequences of this... Haha.
Boat No. 2 happily prepared to descend into the pit. After getting closer, they discovered that it was not a simple large pit. There were several caves under the ground, which were probably underground spaces built by aliens.
After Ye Han received the report, he instinctively erased the word "possible".
It's not a big deal that there are aliens in the underground space of Phoebus. The problem is whether the nuclear bomb carried by boat No. 2 can still be placed in its original place!
You must know that the location of the nuclear bomb was carefully calculated before the operation to ensure that the force of the explosion acted on the center of gravity of the satellite. Only in this way can the satellite be pushed in the right direction.
But if aliens hollow out the satellite, the center of gravity of the satellite will also change accordingly, and the original placement position will naturally become unusable.
Boat No. 1 is also lucky. There is no underground space for aliens under the placement point. If Boat No. 2 is like this, it may have entered the underground space as soon as it started digging holes. Good guy, this is equivalent to fighting aliens.
He said hello and told them that there was someone overhead. It would be strange if the aliens who received the news didn't explode!
There is only one small group on the landing craft, but there are countless aliens underground. If there is a real fight, the landing craft will have no choice but to escape!
After thinking about it, he realized that Phoebe was not a good target and the placement plan could not continue at all. Ye Han decisively ordered the No. 2 boat to abandon the mission.
There was no enemy ship between Enemy No. 2 and the Leishan, but the Leishan returning to the Leishan at this time would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the aliens. In order to prevent exposure, the No. 2 boat, which had abandoned the landing, could only continue to fly forward along its original trajectory.
After the No. 2 boat passes Phoebe, it will gradually move away from Saturn. When it flies farther, there will be more opportunities to return to the battleship.
Of the three satellites, one succeeded and the other failed, leaving only the No. 3 boat without a destination - it would take another two and a half hours to reach Phoebe.
Phoebe is a bit like a UFO, and the fleet’s internal code name is: Flying Saucer!
Ye Han was looking forward to it, because Panmas is very small, with a diameter of only 30 kilometers. It is the smallest of the three satellites. It requires the least force to push it, but the speed is the fastest. As long as it is exerted on Panmas
If the explosive power of Wushang is appropriate, the satellite will crash into the halo like a billiard ball, scattering all the halo fragments along the way. At that time, the alien battleship larvae in the halo will either break away or be destroyed by the flying saucer. There will be no third party.
A choice.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Pandora is flying in the correct direction!
At 22:49, the No. 3 boat approached Phoebus. The most critical moment was about to come, but the aliens seemed unaware of all this and were still entangled with the Leishan.
Boat No. 3 successfully landed. After fixing the landing craft, the soldiers couldn't wait to start work.
However, little did the soldiers know that the aliens had already discovered that something was wrong. As soon as the No. 3 boat landed, a group of alien warships immediately flew away from the halo and headed straight for Phoebe 15.
In fact, aliens have long discovered three asteroids disguised as landing craft. The three asteroids are similar in size and have similar speeds. They come from the same direction and are close to three satellites respectively. Everything is too coincidental.
When the No. 1 boat landed, it attracted great attention from the aliens. However, the No. 1 boat landed on the back of Prometheus, just out of sight of the aliens. Then the battleship took off, but the No. 1 boat remained motionless.
It confuses the judgment of the aliens, so the No. 1 boat narrowly escapes.
The No. 2 boat did not land at all after it approached, which confused the aliens even more and made them doubt their previous judgment.
It wasn't until Boat No. 3 landed on Phoebus that the aliens determined that these three small celestial bodies were likely to come from humans. With the mentality that they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, the aliens immediately dispatched a fleet.
After receiving the news, Ye Han immediately broke into a cold sweat and ordered the No. 3 boat to withdraw without hesitation. At the same time, this order was also given to the No. 1 and No. 2 boats.
Boat No. 1 was not in a hurry to take off. Wang Yan felt that the situation of Boat No. 3 was more dangerous, and it would not be too late to wait until Boat No. 3 was out of danger before taking off.
Boat No. 2 is even simpler. It has already flown through the F ring. It is very convenient to continue flying forward or return to the battleship.
But after the No. 3 boat received the order, the soldiers on board hesitated.
Three landing craft executed the order, but only one succeeded. Only one of the three planned satellites was left, which was very detrimental to the subsequent combat plan.
Should we evacuate immediately as ordered, or should we bite the bullet and complete the mission before evacuating?
