In the blink of an eye, the planetary engine penetrated deep into the water, leaving a large ice hole with a diameter of more than ten kilometers on the water surface. The hole was rippled with light, and sea ice of various sizes undulated with the water waves.
Europa did not rotate, and the overflowing seawater did not form a whirlpool, but only flowed down quickly like an ordinary waterfall. But even so, the scene in front of you was shocking enough.
After the first planetary engine retracted into the sea water, the second one followed closely. In this way, more than a dozen planetary engines retracted into the water one after another, leaving a dozen ice holes with no regular distribution.
When the last planetary engine was about to descend, the alien warships in the sky were like a swarm of wild bees returning to their nest, one after another entering the huge jet port.
"No way?" Wang Tianyu couldn't believe his eyes, "Is the bottom of the water empty?"
He always thought that the planetary engine was fixed on the ground, but he didn't expect that the silvery white ground was not a snowfield, but a layer of ice covered with snow!
Ling Yu looked serious: "At least the bottom of the engine is empty."
Wang Tianyu pointed at the screen with his finger: "What do they mean? Are they just shying away?"
"Eighty percent yes." Ling Yu said, "This is not going to be easy."
"What's going on?" Wang Tianyu couldn't understand the alien's behavior at all.
Ling Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's to reduce losses."
He guessed a reason that even he himself didn't quite believe, but other than that, he couldn't think of a more reasonable reason for a while.
Wang Tianyu was stunned: "Aren't they afraid of us throwing nuclear weapons?"
Ling Yu pursed his lips: "They dare to hide under the water in front of us. It must not be that simple in the water."
"How complicated can it be? How about we go over and have a look?" Wang Tianyu suggested.
The alien fleet is hiding in the planetary engine and sinking into the water with the planetary engine. There is no longer an alien warship near Europa. It has simply given up the rhythm of counterattack. If this time does not pass, when will it pass?
"Okay." Ling Yu nodded in agreement, "But you can't get too close. You must keep a safe distance."
Although the Third Fleet has killed a group of alien warships, the overall strength of the alien fleet is still far greater than that of the Third Fleet. It is definitely not the alien fleet that should hide!
The situation is weird no matter how you look at it. As the saying goes, you never go wrong with caution. The less clearly you can see the situation, the less you can act rashly. If the third fleet is close to Europa and the alien fleet suddenly comes out, it will be bad.
"Yes!" Wang Tianyu agreed, "Don't get too close to the battleship. Send a drone over, or two satellites."
The order was quickly conveyed, and the fleet remained on alert, slowing down and flying towards Europa.
There was no abnormality until the fleet arrived near Europa. The fleet stopped at a safe distance and released several drones as a test.
Wang Tianyu stared at the drone on the screen and said: "There really isn't even a single spacecraft left... Weird, aliens are so relieved?"
"What are you worried about?" Ling Yu asked, "With such a big planet here, can we move it or break it into pieces? If we had the ability, if we had the ability, could we keep this thing until today? Don't
When it comes to aliens, I feel relieved even if you don’t care.”
The inertia of Io itself is so great that it is impossible for humans to affect the flight direction of Io with the level of human technology. Even if all human battleships are pulled over and lined up in a row to hit Io in shifts, it will be of no use.
"I really want to get a super nuclear bomb to blow it up!" Wang Tianyu said bitterly.
"If you can destroy the ground, you can't destroy the underground, let alone the bottom of the sea."
While talking, the drone had already flown around Io. The Nanzhou received a large amount of telemetry data, and the shipboard computer established a three-dimensional digital model of Io based on the data provided by the drone.
It is impossible for a planetary engine to work floating on the sea, and the possibility of staying in the water is not high. The bottom of the engine must be on the solid crust, or even fixed deeply in the crust. As long as the depth of the sea water is known, it can be indirectly
Know what depth the engine is at.
Therefore, the ice hole left by the planetary engine is the focus of detection and the focus of the drone. However, the drone stopped on the ice hole for a long time and only came to the conclusion that the water is very deep. How deep it is is not clear at all.
I don’t know, and I haven’t discovered a planetary engine.
Ling Yu and Wang Tianyu were a little dumbfounded after receiving the data. Wang Tianyu turned to look at Ling Yu and said, "Commander, why don't you let the Marines try it?"
Not a single alien warship is visible, and there are no more suitable airborne conditions than this.
"It's too risky." Ling Yu touched his chin and said, "The drone will get closer to test the ground firepower, and... let Ye Han prepare for landing!"
While the drone was flying towards Europa, Ye Han received an order from the flagship.
Although he knew that the purpose of coming with the fleet this time was to land on Europa, he had been having a fierce fight just now, and he was about to parachute to the alien's lair in the blink of an eye. Ye Han would be under a lot of pressure, if he didn't know about the alien
The fleet hid inside Funu Zero, and he had to jump out to oppose the landing.
As for the airborne preparations, it didn't matter. As soon as the exchange of fire between the two sides began, the Marines were ready and they could set off as long as they gave an order.
The team members were ordered to prepare for departure, and the soldiers entered the landing craft in squadron units. At this time, Ye Han received a communication from the flagship.
After the communication was connected, Ling Yu appeared on the screen: "Ye Han!"
"arrive!"
"Do you have any deep diving equipment?"
"The armor does not have matching deep-diving equipment, but there is a robot that can dive. I don't know exactly how deep it can dive."
Ling Yu frowned: "You don't even know the equipment data?"
"Of course not." Ye Han said, "Io is not the Earth."
The implication is that the Earth's deep dive data cannot be applied to Io.
Ling Yu understood Ye Han's meaning and his face looked better: "The airborne battle is on the back of Europa. You choose an ice cave yourself. I don't care what method you use. In short, find the planetary engine for me. And
, bring a nuclear bomb with a larger yield. Even if you can't find it, you can throw it into the ice hole and blow up his grandma."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"Go ahead."
After the communication ended, Ye Han curled his lips helplessly and floated into a landing craft.
The lighting of the landing craft was dim, and the soldiers boarding the craft were already sitting in their respective positions, securely fastening themselves with safety belts.
Ye Han leaned up to the porthole and looked out. Outside the window was the vast ice field behind Europa. The smaller half was white in the sunlight, while the other half was hidden in the darkness and blurred.
