The special design gives the landing craft more uses and can provide the necessary means of transportation for the landing troops. This is also one of the advantages of airborne landing craft. If the airborne capsule is used instead, no matter where you go after landing, you must walk on your legs.
After the modification was completed, Ye Han waved his hand and everyone quickly boarded the plane. The landing craft was restarted... No, it was a rotorcraft now. The propellers hanging on the wingtips quickly rotated, lifting the plane upwards like a helicopter, reaching a certain height.
After altitude, the rotors level out and fly towards the target like an ordinary propeller aircraft.
At the same time as the No. 1 aircraft set off, the landing craft led by Liu Bin also completed its modifications and flew directly to its destination after taking off.
Liu Bin landed not far from the ice cave, and soon he flew near the target. The three rotorcraft each chose a suitable location to land. The soldiers immediately started to take action, but when they arrived at the end of the field, they discovered that the waves were rough not long ago.
The water has refrozen!
The soldiers couldn't help but look at each other.
Jupiter in flight has stopped rotating long ago, and the hemisphere facing the sun is always facing the sun, which is called the day hemisphere, and the hemisphere that is always in darkness is called the night hemisphere.
Currently, Europa is still within the asteroid belt and is really too far away from the sun. The daylight hemisphere receives far less light than the Earth, and the maximum temperature is just over zero degrees.
Not to mention the night hemisphere, the lowest temperature is below minus 100 degrees Celsius!
This is because Europa has a good atmosphere, and the convection of the air has always balanced the temperatures in the day and night hemispheres, otherwise the temperature in the night hemisphere would have been lower.
The problem is that it freezes too quickly!
Liu Bin saw a piece of broken ice the size of a sand bowl at his feet. He squatted down and wanted to pick it up, but the broken ice was already frozen on the ground. He only used a little strength and failed to pick it up!
"Evil!" Liu Bin got angry on the spot, and with a fierce force, the broken ice fell into Liu Bin's hand with a crunching sound, as if what Liu Bin was twisting was not an ice cube, but a piece of steel!
He knew that the lower the temperature, the stronger the ice, but he never imagined that it would be so difficult to break a piece of broken ice.
Weighing the ice cubes casually, Liu Bin rounded his arms and smashed the broken ice hard onto the newly frozen ice, causing Lao Gao to bounce up with a bang.
When Liu Bin heard this, his teeth became sour and he turned around and shouted: "Bring a laser gun over here!"
Several soldiers stood up together. Liu Bin drew a circle on the ice with his index finger and told the soldiers to cut the ice. Then he ordered others to remove the equipment from the plane. The operation was finally on track.
Liu Bin was just calm on the surface, but he was always worried that the hiding aliens would rush out again. Then hundreds of warships would fly into the sky, and the only option for the Third Fleet would be to retreat. Then the hundred or so people on the ground would be finished.
Already.
So he made up his mind that when the hole in the ice was dug, the first thing he would do was to drop the nuclear bomb down.
While Liu Bin was full of confusion, Ye Han was still flying towards his goal.
The gyroplane is not a true fixed-wing aircraft, its flying speed is not ideal, and it takes some time to reach the scheduled coordinates.
Ye Han, who was flying the plane, suddenly received a voice from the flagship: "The headquarters is calling Swift No. 1. Please answer when you receive it!"
"Yuyan received it on the 1st, please speak!"
"Swift 1, the target has changed, please receive the new coordinates immediately."
"What happened?" Ye Han frowned slightly, what would happen if the target was temporarily changed?
Ye Han immediately received a high-altitude bird's-eye view from the flagship. The ice hole left by the planetary engine could be seen in the photo. It was obviously a new photo taken not long ago.
"See the red dot in the photo?"
"I saw it." Ye Han said.
"Put it to the maximum."
Ye Han did as he was told. As he zoomed in again and again, the ground became clearer and clearer. He didn't stop until the photo started to blur and blurted out in shock: "SOS?"
On the ice, there are several blurry and distorted English letters.
Ye Han felt bad: "What's going on?"
"We don't know, Swift 1, this is your new mission."
"Yuyan No. 1 understands." Ye Han signaled to the co-pilot. After taking over the plane, he immediately changed direction and flew to the mission coordinates as quickly as possible.
Ye Han's first reaction when he saw the letters was that someone was in trouble, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong. This was not a place on the earth, but Jupiter, where aliens were inhabited. How could there be humans in this ghost place?
Otherwise, the aliens knew the meaning of SOS and wrote these letters to lure the Marines into taking the bait... This is also wrong. How did the aliens know that the Marines were going to airborne?
"Swift No. 1 calls Nanzhou!"
"Yuyan No. 1, please speak."
"Can you help me check the missing records...I mean, from the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force to the present, all human aircraft that crashed on Europa."
"We're checking, keep on line, I'll let you know when there are results."
"good."
A few minutes later, Ye Han received a reply: "Swiss 1, starting from the First Fleet, a total of seven warships crashed into Europa, including the Summer Bay and the Penglai, and the remaining five were all impact ships of the international fleet.
, there is no personnel record, but..."
"but what?"
"After the explosion of the Summer Bay, the Tiangong once received a laser signal from Europa, which contained traitors and prisoners."
"Traitor?" Ye Han repeated subconsciously, but there was no impression in his mind, "What do you mean?"
Ye Han still didn't know that he was an eyewitness to this incident, but he had been injected with hibernating hormone at that time, and he had no idea that the landing craft had ever photographed Europa.
"I don't know, the signal only has these two words."
"How long after the explosion?"
"I don't know, the time is not mentioned in the file, so the interval should not be very long.
The intelligence we have is very limited, Swift 1, be careful!"
"Yuyan No. 1 understands, Nanzhou, are there any firepower points near the target?" Ye Han suddenly felt that the possibility of that SOS was a trap was very high, at least it was a trap in the past.
"No!"
This answer was beyond Ye Han's expectation. It didn't even have any apparent firepower. Wasn't it just playing hard to get?
Ye Han thought for a while and then said: "Give me the detailed terrain near the target point."
"It'll be ready soon, what else do you need?"
"Not for now... I may need air support."
"The Weizhou is responsible for supporting you."
"receive."
After the communication ended, Ye Han felt a little heavier. His mind was full of SOS, and he couldn't figure out the hidden meaning behind these three letters.
I hope there is not a traitor... The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Not just anyone could join the expeditionary force. If you want to join the expeditionary force, you must be politically qualified. Even if you fall into the hands of aliens, you will not be able to join the expeditionary force.
They are prisoners. Where does the word traitor come from?
