Ye Han immediately reported his discovery to the flagship, but it was not a big discovery. To say the least, it was barely a step forward in mankind's understanding of aliens. However, for the expeditionary force, this discovery was of no use at all.
Ye Han himself didn't expect much. The only reason why he chose to report it was to remind his superiors to try not to hit Europa with asteroids when dealing with the enemy!
That's not to deal with aliens, that's to save aliens trouble!
The short interlude ended. From beginning to end, Ye Han could not find where the international fleet was. Although the Third Fleet had never counted on the international fleet, the disappearance of the international fleet still made Ye Han very unhappy.
It was not until a few months later that Ye Han learned that the international fleet did not flee without a fight, but diverted to Jupiter after the Third Fleet took over Europa!
There are more than just Io bases for aliens today. The aliens who stayed on Jupiter occupy three of the four Galilean satellites. Only Io, which has a harsh environment, is excluded by aliens, and other satellites are on
Aliens have also been discovered, but not as many as on the Galilean satellites.
The coalition command believes that the principle for aliens to invade celestial bodies is to see whether there is water on the celestial body!
Needless to say, Europa has a shell of ice directly on its surface. Ganymede and Callisto also have a lot of water. These satellites have become the rear bases of aliens!
This situation has aroused the alarm of high-level human beings. There is a view that aliens use Io to travel through distant interstellar space and use Io as a battlefield to fight several battles with humans. The situation on this planet is definitely not good.
Optimistic, he might even be an abandoned son of aliens!
To put it simply, the aliens use Europa as a target to attract human attention, while the main force of the aliens stays on Jupiter and fully develops the colony. When humans finish Europa, the aliens' Jupiter colony will be similar.
Once it takes shape, aliens will be able to use the Jupiter colony as a basis to continue to invade the earth.
Of course, aliens may also have the idea of leaving a group of people to manage Jupiter to avoid being homeless after the failure of Europa.
Although this is just an immature view, no one dares to deny this possibility. Humanity cannot bear the consequences of aliens developing on Jupiter. Therefore, after China decided to take over Europa, the international fleet diverted to Jupiter.
, one of the tasks is to block alien reinforcements; the second task is to destroy the alien infrastructure as much as possible.
In short, we cannot let the aliens live too comfortably, we must find something for them to do!
In the next two days, the distance between the fleet and Europa Zero became closer and closer, and the time for the official start of the mission became closer and closer.
The marines on the Yushan all knew the content of the mission. The closer they got to Europa, the heavier the psychological pressure on everyone. Although there was no mental breakdown, anxiety and anxiety were unavoidable.
As a commander, Ye Han had no time to think about things other than his duties. The most important job every day was to control the emotions of the soldiers.
On June 2, the distance between the Third Fleet and Europa was only 30,000 kilometers, and the battle was imminent. However, observation found that the aliens’ defense system was very complete, and no loopholes in the defense could be found. All they had to do was send troops to land directly.
To die, Nanzhou decided to postpone the mission plan, and the fleet adjusted its direction to temporarily keep its distance from Europa.
It will take at least a year and a half for Io to reach the Earth. No matter how anxious the fleet is, it will still take three to five days.
The fleet immediately reported the findings to Beidu - at this time, the fleet and the earth were on opposite sides of the sun. Even the briefest communication would take more than an hour to receive a response. If the time for discussion and research is included, this time limit would be even longer.
extend.
As a result, the fleet did not wait for instructions from the earth, but instead waited for a response from the alien fleet!
Perhaps the aliens felt threatened because the Third Fleet was too close, so the aliens formed a fleet of about seventy alien warships and took the initiative to attack, flying toward the Third Fleet menacingly.
The flagship thought that the aliens would not act rashly, but they did not expect them to be so impatient that they actually took the initiative to attack. The headquarters immediately launched a combat plan, and the third fleet took a fighting stance. It looked like it was going to fight the aliens to the death.
, are actually ready to retreat.
Before the alien fleet entered the range, the Third Fleet took the initiative to open fire, using long-range missiles to give the enemy a first blow.
Ye Han watched the missile groups flying farther and farther towards the enemy ships, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
The Missile missile equipped by the Third Fleet is the latest improved version designed for alien warships. It is not the first. It is an ordinary model used by the Second Fleet. Some people even say that the Missile missile is the first real space missile of mankind. Previously,
All missiles equipped by humans are just space-based improved versions of air-to-air missiles!
The biggest feature of the Missile Missile is that it is combined with smoke bombs. A smoke module is added to the missile. According to the radar positioning, the missile activates the smoke can before entering the range of the thin light, forming a covering smoke screen around the missile, using the smoke screen to interfere with the thin light.
The hit rate improves the missile survival rate and the hit rate at the same time.
Today is the first actual combat of the Missile Missile, and its effectiveness must be tested in actual combat.
The fleet fired 48 tracer missiles in one go. After the launch, the fleet immediately retreated. The propellers installed under the short wings rotated 180 degrees, and the bows of each ship slowly retreated from the enemy.
A few seconds later, the missile group activated the smoke module, and thick smoke jumped out of the projectile, quickly forming a smoke screen near the missile.
The smoke screen of one missile is very small, but the smoke screen formed by dozens of missiles is like a dark cloud, rushing toward the alien fleet.
The alien warships immediately dispersed, evading while firing dense thin lights into the smoke screen, almost plowing the smoke screen from the inside out.
However, the aliens' thinking is too simple. Even though the thin light is as dense as the rapid rain, only a few missiles can be hit by the thin light.
Humans and aliens have been fighting against each other for so long. Although they have not yet understood the principle of fine light, they are already very familiar with its function. This smoke screen is also a new device developed for fine light, which has a certain hindering effect on fine light.
The aliens also found that the thin light was not effective, but they had no intention of changing their tactics and continued to use the thin light to brush the smoke screen.
The missiles had not yet hit the enemy ship, but the command headquarters believed that the time was ripe and immediately launched a second batch of missiles. A second layer of dark clouds soon formed in front of the Third Fleet.
At this time, the first wave of missiles had already approached and locked on the enemy ship, and began to implement snake-shaped terminal guidance. Dozens of missiles swarmed around randomly like dozens of swimming fish, with only the front end of the missile always pointing towards the enemy ship!
