Yan Jing frowned with an obvious "Sichuan" character: "I would like to make a few suggestions. First of all, the changes in the fleet's mission must be explained to the soldiers, so that every soldier can clearly understand their responsibilities. I don't stress this, you already know how to do it.
But I must stress it again."
"Secondly, the collected intelligence must be sent back to Earth in time... We are still four days away from Jupiter. When the fleet flies into the magnetosphere, the radio will no longer be used. No matter which warship, as long as we seize the opportunity, use lasers to
Send back the message as much as you want."
"Again, since we have encountered an alien spacecraft, it means that we have entered enemy-occupied territory. We may encounter alien warships at any time. Therefore, from now on, we must strictly implement the combat readiness system, and the bridge battle positions must be maintained 24 hours a day.
, ensure that at least one-third of the personnel are in place, and ensure that the fleet can go into battle at any time."
"Time waits for no one, comrades, the current situation is very serious. We not only need to detect the aliens' combat capabilities, but also hurt the aliens to let them know that humans are not easy to bully." Yan Jing punched the armrest.
"Now let me talk about the battle plan. My plan is to divide the troops into two groups. One group is composed of Hongwan and Luwan. It will approach Jupiter along the way. The main task is to feign attack, attract the attention of the alien fleet, and detect aliens.
The combat effectiveness of the fleet is best if it can lure the alien fleet away; Summer Bay and Yuewan form a second group, which will approach Jupiter in retrograde motion. The main task of the second group is to break the attack and use the relative speed of the fleet and Jupiter to attack Jupiter.
Wei Ling, if you have any opinions, please tell me."
Everyone immediately understood what Yan Jing meant.
The so-called direct motion means that it is consistent with the rotation direction of Jupiter. Most of Jupiter's satellites orbit Jupiter in this direction, including the four Galilean satellites and Europa.
Needless to say, there is retrograde motion. In the opposite direction to the prograde motion, there are also some Jupiter satellites orbiting retrograde, but the number is smaller.
If the retrograde fleet approaches Europa, the relative speed of the two sides will exceed one hundred kilometers, and the warship will not take more than half a minute to fly over the surface of Europa.
Wang Xiaolei said: "Commander, the orbit of Europa is close to Jupiter and its speed is not slow. If we attack Europa in direct motion, our speed will not be much higher than that of Europa. The possibility of encountering the main force of the alien fleet is very high. Have you planned carefully?
To prevent the fleet from being surrounded by the enemy? For example, to lure the snake out of its hole or something, after all, breaking the attack is no longer our main task."
"I, the commander, will arrange the strategy, and you, the captains, will decide the tactics." Yan Jing fully delegated his authority.
Huang Bo asked: "Commander, if I understand correctly, one group should go into battle first to distract the aliens' attention, and then the second group will approach Europa. But in this way, the second group cannot slow down too much.
, must have arrived earlier than the other group!"
Prograde approach is actually the direction in which the gravitational slingshot is implemented. Retrograde approach is the opposite, so a part of the speed will be lost. The aircraft can take advantage of this feature and use the gravitational slingshot principle to decelerate the aircraft.
"Let's fly around Jupiter a few times first. We have no place to hide anyway." Yan Jing said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
This is the bad thing about space battles. There is no place to hide. The enemy and we have known each other's position eight hundred years ago. Even if they change orbit and maneuver, they can't escape in several nearby directions. It's almost like lining up to shoot.
Unless you don't want to fight, there are very few tactics you can use.
Huang Bo nodded solemnly, and several people studied some minor issues. The summary meeting ended and the preparations for the operation were fully launched. Observation of the enemy was the top priority in the entire plan. However, the observation department had just started working.
, and an extremely unusual discovery was made.
When the expedition fleet fully recovered, it had been busy taking care of the alien fleet ahead and had no time to observe Jupiter. However, after the observation department pointed the telescope at Jupiter, the true face of Jupiter appeared in front of the expedition fleet, and everyone was shocked.
People were shocked.
Observations have found that the orbit of Io is between Io and Io. Among the more than 60 satellites of Jupiter, only four satellites are closer to Jupiter than Io, and their revolution speed is close to 40 kilometers per second.
, no matter where you fly over, there will be a large area of positive light thousands of kilometers wide and tens of thousands of kilometers long in the sky above Jupiter. It is more brilliant than the magnetic field generated by the interaction between Io and Jupiter's magnetic field. The expedition team can see it even with the naked eye.
Magnificent auroras on the surface of Jupiter.
Jupiter's impact on Io is even greater. According to measurements a few years ago, the surface temperature of Io is below minus 200 degrees, and the layer of white material on its surface is actually solidified air ice.
At this time, the temperature at Jupiter's zero point has risen significantly, and the originally thin atmosphere has become much thicker. Although the equatorial region is still covered by white matter, the temperature is only minus 30 degrees Celsius. The white matter covering the earth there is obviously a layer of water ice.
!
What’s even more incredible is that observers actually found several volcanoes still emitting thick smoke on the surface of Europa!
Although the expeditionary force is composed of military personnel and no one specializes in astronomy, those who can join the expeditionary force, picked at random, have systematically studied some astronomical knowledge and know the information about Jupiter by heart.
As we all know, Io has an extremely large volcano group, and the reason for the large number of volcanoes on Io is the strong gravity of Jupiter.
Io is closer to Jupiter than Io, and its volume is even larger than that of Io. No matter what the original surface temperature of Io is, under the influence of Jupiter's strong gravity, it is impossible for the surface temperature not to rise.
.
In other words, Europa, which fell into silence due to crossing interstellar space, is gradually recovering!
Further observations revealed that the aliens on Io are using some means to maintain the rotation of Io, and that Io is slowly moving away from Jupiter!
This discovery was extraordinary and immediately shocked the entire expedition fleet. However, after the news was sent back to Earth, the command center replied that it had known about it for a long time, and not only sent back more detailed observation records to the expedition fleet, but also included the analysis results of experts in the astronomical community.
The astronomical community believes that the reason why such a situation occurs is neither an accident nor a coincidence, but a deliberate act by aliens!
Io once came extremely close to Jupiter and almost fell into Jupiter, which shocked the world. However, the astronomical community has never understood why Io suddenly came close to Jupiter when its earliest orbit was far enough away from Jupiter.
Moreover, aliens have the ability to control Europa, and the process of approaching Jupiter lasted for a long time. No matter how lazy the aliens are, they should not make such a mistake.
But think about it on the other hand, what if aliens deliberately manipulate Europa to approach Jupiter?
