The spacious door of the maintenance cabin opened, and the red warning light inside the door rotated rapidly. After the rescuers sent the lifeboat into the maintenance cabin, the wide door slowly closed.
After the hatch was completely closed, the alarm light went out at the same time, and then the air extraction equipment began to inject air into the maintenance cabin, and the air pressure in the cabin quickly returned to normal.
A group of rescuers wearing protective suits replaced their companions in space suits. Although the protective suits were not very neat, they were still much better than bulky space suits.
Several people came to the hatch of the lifeboat and first measured the situation inside the lifeboat. They found that the air pressure in the lifeboat was slightly low and everything else was normal.
So the rescuers pried open the hatch and entered the boat one by one.
At this moment, all the fleet executives headed by Gao Kai were watching this scene through the surveillance system. After the rescuers entered the lifeboat, the screen seemed to have stagnated, and only the time numbers in the corner of the screen were still beating one by one.
Ten seconds later, a rescuer dragged the man out of the lifeboat, dragged the man in the spacesuit aside and carefully placed him, then floated back into the lifeboat.
Repeatedly several times, several rescuers pulled out twelve people from the lifeboat and neatly fixed them in a row on the deck. It was not until the lifeboat was emptied that the rescuers re-closed the hatch.
A chill filled Gao Kai's heart, and he immediately activated the communication equipment: "Rescue team, this is the headquarters, how is the situation?"
"Report, everyone died."
"Isn't there still air pressure?"
"The oxygen is gone."
Gao Kai only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest and he could not vent it. After a while, he sighed helplessly: "Confirm your identity and restrain yourself."
After saying this, Gao Kai, who was full of melancholy, ended the communication. The atmosphere in the headquarters was dull, but no one was willing to speak to break the suffocating silence.
After a while, Gao Kai waved his hand tiredly: "Let's go, go and do whatever you need to do."
Everyone left silently, only Lu Zuo deliberately took a step slowly to persuade: "Commander..."
"Don't try to persuade me. I understand. I just feel unhappy."
Lu Zuo's mouth moved, but no sound came out. He hesitated, turned and left the headquarters.
At this time, it is better to let Gao Kai calm down for a while.
Lu Zuo was born in the navy. Although he had no chance to participate in real naval battles, he had experienced a lot of various exercises and low-intensity conflicts. He had also witnessed his comrades fall beside him.
In his opinion, Gao Kai, an officer with overflowing sympathy, is not suitable to be the commander of the fleet at all. As the saying goes, kindness does not lead to troops. When sitting in this position, one should put away unnecessary sympathy. When necessary, he should even show his attitude without changing his attitude.
He ordered the soldiers to fight and die.
Gao Kai...can he do it?
Lu Zuo drifted away with suspicion in his heart and full of worries.
Gao Kai was in a bad mood. He thought he could rescue a few more people this time like he did when he rescued Ye Han, but all he wanted to bring out were corpses.
According to the custom of the navy, the victims should be buried at sea, that is, the bodies should be thrown into the sea. In the universe, they should be thrown directly outside.
But Gao Kai didn't want to do this at all. There was plenty of room on the ship anyway. First find a place to place the bodies of the victims. After the battle was over, he would bring them directly back to Earth... Even if there were only corpses or even ashes,
It is also a great comfort to the relatives of the victims.
At this time, Gao Kai did not realize that bringing back the body of the victim would not bring comfort to his relatives, but the destruction of hope.
It is true that the environment in the universe is extremely harsh, and missing someone near Jupiter is tantamount to a death sentence.
But there are no absolutes in the world. Even if the First Fleet was almost wiped out, there are still examples like Ye Han who managed to survive.
If you don't see the body alive or dead, you can only count it as missing. Even if you deceive yourself, you can still say that there is a slim hope of survival; on the contrary, if the body is found, there is no hope at all.
In the next few days, the Second Fleet continued to implement the planned plan, cleaning up all the small satellites it encountered, and not leaving any that could be cleaned up, even if it cost a few more nuclear bombs. Anyway, the Second Fleet
The most indispensable thing is nuclear warheads.
As a result, a few days later, more than half of Jupiter's small moons were wiped out by the second fleet, and the remaining ones were all on the other side of Jupiter, absolutely no threat to the fleet's position.
The aliens tried to send troops several times to stop them, but the second fleet actively avoided them every time, just not giving the alien fleet a chance to get close.
This situation continued until the Second Fleet approached Callisto.
Callisto has a diameter of 170 kilometers. Aliens have placed a large fleet on this satellite 1.1 million kilometers away from Jupiter, with the number being no less than a hundred.
Unfortunately, Io's position at this time is just below Callisto. If you want to attack Io, you can't leave such a dangerous tail behind the fleet.
In order to clear out the small satellites, the Second Fleet has stayed near Jupiter for too long. Even if Gao Kai wants to continue, the fleet will not be able to continue for a few more days at most before it must embark on its return journey.
Destroying the alien fleet on Jupiter has become a top priority for the Second Fleet.
After fighting guerrilla warfare for so long, Gao Kai felt tired and simply ordered the fleet to press forward.
As soon as the Second Fleet took action, a large number of ice-white warships took off from Europa and other Jupiter moons, and all enemy forces rushed to Europa to prevent the Second Fleet from forcibly breaking through and blocking it.
Gao Kai did not intend to attack by force. He gathered all the belongings of the expedition fleet together and made a gesture of imminent attack. In order to deceive the aliens, the fleet slowly approached Callisto.
For unknown reasons, the alien fleet remained unmoved and always stayed near Europa.
Gao Kai thinks this situation is very interesting. Does it have to be close to start a fight?
He immediately ordered all ships to open fire on Europa.
The order was issued, and the ten battleships of the Second Fleet fired together. They fired two rounds of twenty nuclear bombs with an equivalent of over 10 million tons, and another thirty or forty rounds of nuclear artillery shells.
The warships of the space fleet often travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers. In this environment, the hit rate of the artillery shells is really gratifying. Only when the distance is extremely close can the naval guns have the possibility to show their power.
But it is just right to use it to deal with Callisto, which does not move at all.
The attack of the Second Fleet was very sudden. The alien warships guarding the vicinity of Callisto did not panic at all. They waited silently for the missiles to fly closer. More than a hundred alien warships suddenly shot out neat thin lights, cutting off the incoming missiles one by one.
.
No matter how fast the missile flies, it seems to be much slower than the artillery shell. No missile can escape the salvo of the alien fleet.
On the contrary, the cannonball is small and flies fast. When the cannonball flies over, the situation has taken a 180-degree turn.
