Io is not Jupiter, and it has not reached the point where it is impossible to escape after falling into it. Although the 024 class, which is heavy and lacks propulsion, cannot leave, as long as we act in time, aerospace fighters, lifeboats and landing craft can escape from Io.
Chance.
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they received the order, but they quickly came to their senses, immediately left their positions, rushed out of the bridge on the shaking deck, and ran towards the lifeboats.
The first mate ran a few steps and was leaving the bridge. He suddenly stopped and looked back at Niu Xinyu, who was sitting still: "Captain, aren't you leaving?"
"This is my battleship, I'm not going anywhere." Niu Xinyu said calmly.
Outside the ship, the missile group accompanying the battleship's descent was blocked by the aliens with all their strength. Thin beams of light swept across the sky, destroying the missiles that entered the falling stage one by one.
The flickering screen reflected the uncertainty on Niu Xinyu's face, and the only thing that remained unchanged was his determined expression.
"Captain?" The first mate looked shocked. Seeing that Niu Xinyu had no intention of compromising, he immediately stopped several officers who were about to rush out of the bridge, "Come here and get the captain out!"
It's already this time, and we still have to put on a bloody show. The first mate has no interest in complaining, and just wants to take this scumbag captain out as soon as possible.
It is true that martyrdom is a naval tradition, but it is a tradition of the British navy. Even Westerners have banned it for many years, let alone the Rabbit family's navy?
It is not easy to train a captain, so how can you just sacrifice yourself?
"You go, I'm not going anywhere." Niu Xinyu calmly stopped the first officer, "The battleship cannot fall into the hands of the enemy. I am the captain and it is my responsibility."
"Captain, I'll stay!" the first mate took a step forward.
"Get out!" Niu Xinyu glared, "Get out of here!"
The first mate turned a deaf ear and quickly ran back to his seat and sat down: "If you leave, you will die, but if you stay, at least you will die more happily."
The officers on the bridge looked at each other, a few returned to their positions silently, and others left the bridge silently.
Niu Xinyu sighed and gave up the persuasion.
The situation was urgent. If it were any later, the lifeboat would lose the best opportunity to escape from Europa, and he would have no time to persuade everyone.
He can indeed ask everyone to carry out the order, but at this point, what is the meaning of the order?
The Summer Bay, which was covered in flames, suddenly spurted out a burst of flames from its side, and the first lifeboat full of people finally left the ship. After leaving the ship, the lifeboat raised its altitude with all its strength, and the booster rockets on both sides of the ship went all out.
However, the lifeboat was originally only used for escaping in space, not for breaking through the atmosphere. The propeller on the boat was insufficiently powered, and soon all the fuel was used up, and the ascent turned into a fall.
Three consecutive lifeboats had the same result. The remaining crew members were desperate and no one got into the lifeboat anymore.
At this time, the two aerospace fighters ejected from the battleship. The lower weight aerospace fighter flew straight into the sky with the help of booster rockets and soon left Europa.
Everyone's envy was beyond words, but just when the fighter plane was about to succeed, two thin lights pierced the fast-flying fighter plane, and the fighter plane broke into two pieces on the spot and turned into several falling meteors.
Even the last hope was extinguished by the aliens, and the crew members, knowing that they were inevitable, silently returned to their respective posts.
Seeing all the departing crew members returning to the bridge, Niu Xinyu took a deep breath: "Brothers, even if we die, we will break a few of the enemy's teeth!"
The falling Summer Bay immediately turned on its auxiliary engines, and several engines spurted out flames at the same time, trying their best to reduce the speed of the battleship.
At the same time, all the weapons that could still be used on the ship were aimed at the ground, and lasers and artillery shells hit the ground as if they were free.
The aliens immediately retaliated, destroying the ship's turrets with pinpoint accuracy and quickly disarming the Summer Bay. Even the rapid-fire cannons were not spared.
Niu Xinyu closed his eyes calmly, took a deep breath and then opened them. He quickly moved his fingers on the console a few times. The armrest of the command chair flipped over, revealing a mechanical code disk.
Niu Xinyu's fingertips tapped quickly on the code disk, and an electronically synthesized voice resounded throughout the ship: "Self-destruction program starts!"
At the same time, all the screens on the ship entered the countdown interface, and the time was only ten seconds.
Death is coming, and everyone is staring at the countdown on the screen, savoring the last moments of their lives. Some are calm, some are afraid, and some are confused.
An indicator light on the control interface suddenly lit up, and the first officer turned back in shock: "The landing craft has detached—"
Niu Xinyu's calm eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light: "Kill them..."
Before he finished speaking, the nuclear bomb placed deep in the Summer Bay suddenly burst out. A ball of blazing flames engulfed the battleship from the inside out. The huge battleship turned into a ball of flames in the air, and a powerful shock wave swept across all directions.
The landing craft that had just left Summer Bay was like a fallen leaf in the strong wind, struggling up and down in the shock wave.
The location where the Summer Bay exploded was not far from the ground. The high temperature melted large areas of snowfields, exposing the soil and rocks under the snow. The landing craft, whose hull had almost melted, plunged to the ground with green smoke, and there was no more movement.
The self-destruction of the Summer Bay shocked both the enemy and ourselves. The firepower of the Encirclement and Suppression Moon Bay immediately dropped several levels. Huang Bo took the opportunity to order the warship to break out of the encirclement at full speed.
A large swarm of missiles suddenly shot out from the smoke screen, forcing away the alien warships besieging the Moon Bay.
At the same time, the Moon Bay launched a large number of smoke bombs in all directions to disrupt the alien fleet's sight with the smoke screen. The Moon Bay was fully powered, trying to break out of the encirclement with the help of the smoke screen.
However, the continuous defeats seemed to allow the aliens to understand humans. The firepower of the alien fleet suddenly increased, and countless thin lights pierced the smoke screen like dense rain.
Although the smoke screen was large, there were more thin lights. The Yuewan in the smoke screen was hit repeatedly, and even the outer shell of the pressure zone was penetrated by the thin light. There were flashing lights and piercing sirens everywhere inside the ship.
The Yuewan was severely damaged, and even the complete turret no longer fired back. Only a solitary missile flew out from under the ship, turned ninety degrees and flew towards the stern of the ship.
Before the missile could fly out of the smoke screen, it suddenly exploded behind the battleship. The nuclear light blew away the thick smoke screen, causing the Moon Bay to appear in front of the alien fleet.
The explosion point was very close to Yuewan. The battleship was bumping and shaking like a small boat in a Category 12 typhoon, but it quickly stabilized and its speed was increased by the nuclear explosion.
The nuclear bomb-propelled spacecraft is the core of the Orion project. Although China did not copy the plan during the expedition, it is well aware of its contents.
Although the nuclear explosion destroyed the fragile electromagnetic thruster at the tail of the ship, under the current circumstances, escaping the siege of the alien fleet was more important than anything else.
