The newly frozen ice layer is only two fingers thick, but the lower the temperature, the harder the ice. At temperatures as low as minus 70 or 80 degrees Celsius, ice is harder than steel.
However, the laser gun easily burned through the ice and soon cut through the ice cap with a diameter of one meter.
Liu Bin immediately shouted: "Quick, quick, quick!" The soldiers swarmed forward. The soldiers in front lifted up the ice cap, and the others stuffed various equipment into the ice hole.
In just a few seconds from lifting the ice cover to inserting the device, a thin layer of ice has already formed on the water under the ice cover!
Upon seeing this, Liu Bin immediately called over a soldier who was responsible for stirring up the seawater in the ice cave to prevent the water from condensing.
The sonar started working immediately after entering the water, and soon obtained the underwater terrain map. However, looking left and right, there was no trace of the planetary engine at all, and there was not even a slightly regular terrain.
Several people couldn't help but look at each other, and then everyone's eyes focused on Liu Bin's face.
Liu Bin gritted his teeth: "No matter what, put the nuclear bomb down for me!"
"Where to put it?" a soldier asked in astonishment.
Liu Bin looked at the map and pointed at an ice hole left by a planetary engine: "Put it right in the middle, that's right!"
Although the planetary engine can be retracted into the water, it cannot float in the water. The bottom must contact the seabed, and it must go deep into the seabed and firmly press against the earth's crust in order to push Europa around.
In other words, the planetary engine must be fixed underwater!
In this case, why waste time and effort to find a planetary engine? Can't we just put a nuclear bomb directly in the middle of the ice cave?
The soldiers suddenly realized and immediately followed Liu Bin's order... Unless the aliens started the planetary engines directly under the water, as soon as they appeared, the fleet would detonate nuclear bombs, which would definitely destroy those damn planetary engines.
At the same time, Swift 1 finally flew near the target.
To be cautious, Ye Han did not fly directly to the target. Instead, he circled around the area. No abnormalities were found but he was still worried. He expanded the area and circled again, but still found no abnormalities. Then he cautiously drove the plane over.
, turn the propeller and land vertically.
The SOS was near the landing point. Ye Han left a group of people to guard the plane and quickly left the plane with the remaining three combat groups. They headed in three directions at the same time. After each arrived at the predetermined location, the three groups surrounded the SOS in a triangle.
In the middle.
After waiting for a while, there was still nothing unusual. Ye Han put down the gun in his hand and strode towards SOS.
The three letters are not left on the ground, but carved on an ice platform half a person's height. Each character is as tall as a person, but the handwriting is only two fingers wide. The twisted handwriting is definitely not normal writing. Look at the ice platform.
The traces seemed to be scratched out little by little with something.
Ye Han looked around but couldn't find any clues. He walked around the ice platform twice and still found nothing.
He couldn't help but frown. Since he asked for help through SOS, why should he give some clues? And generally speaking, the person asking for help must not be far from the distress signal!
Thinking of this, Ye Han looked around, hoping to find some clues, but still found nothing.
What's going on?
When one person is short-sighted and everyone is wise, Ye Han grinned and called a combat team at the top of his lungs: "Come over and take a closer look and look for clues together!"
The soldiers immediately started to circle around the ice platform. Some studied the words on the ice platform, some looked around the ice platform, and some studied the irregular patterns on the ice platform, which reminded Ye Han of the story about the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
A soldier who was staring at the letters suddenly raised his head and glanced into the distance, then turned his head and looked in other directions, then lowered his head and blinked, and finally raised his head with some uncertainty: "Chief, do you think this counts?"
Consider it a clue?”
Ye Han was stunned and walked quickly to the soldier: "What?"
"This!" The soldier pointed at the tail end of an S. "This one is pointed, like an arrow pointing in the direction. Those ones are all flat. It can't be a coincidence, right?"
The soldier became more and more guilty as he spoke, and finally even his voice became less certain.
Ye Han turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by the tip. About a few hundred meters away, there was a small hill that was at most ten meters high.
At this time, apart from this clue that didn't look like a clue, there was no other discovery. Ye Han simply waved his hand: "Come on, come with me and have a look. Ouyang, bring your people over to look for clues!"
"Yes!" Ouyang Ping agreed loudly and immediately rushed over with his team members.
Ye Han took the lead and arrived near the hill in a short while. He found that he had overestimated the height before. The height of the hill was eight meters, which was the limit. The area was quite large, but Ye Han had not yet mastered the ability to judge at a glance.
Area of dazzling eyes.
Ye Han looked at Xiao Shanbao and said, "Luo Qi, follow me. The others disperse. Call me immediately if you find out the situation!"
"Yes!" The soldiers agreed in unison and walked away to both sides.
Ye Han took Luo Qi up the hill step by step, preparing to climb high and take a long view.
Eight meters is not high, but the slope is relatively small. As soon as the two of them reached the mountainside, a voice shouted from the bottom of the mountain: "Captain, there is a situation here!"
"What's going on?" Luo Qi asked on the radio.
"There is an SOS carved into it, and there is also an ice cave."
Ice cave?
Upon hearing these two words, Ye Han turned around and walked back: "Go over and have a look!"
When the two people arrived, the soldiers had already focused on them, and Luo Qi immediately asked: "Where is the cave?"
"Over there!" A soldier raised his hand and pointed forward.
Ye Han took a few steps forward and immediately saw an inconspicuous SOS on the ice wall. If he hadn't been preconceived, he would have thought that these were three letters. At first glance, he might not be able to connect them with the letters.
Below the letters is the entrance to the ice cave. The arched entrance opening and closing is extremely regular, and the cave ceiling is also very high.
Ye Han walked over and stood at the entrance of the cave. He raised his arm but still couldn't reach the top by a long way.
Putting down his arms, he looked towards the deep ice cave: "The ceiling is so high, it must have been left by aliens."
Luo Qi took a look into the ice cave. There was a downhill slope of about ten meters at the entrance of the ice cave. After that, the ice cave became flat and nothing could be seen clearly inside.
Luo Qi looked at Ye Han: "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Ye Han turned on the headlight, and a beam of light shone into the ice cave, shining on the smooth cave wall, reflecting dazzling light: "Hey, this wall is flatter than a mirror. Do you believe it is natural?"
"I definitely don't believe it!" Luo Qi said.
"Then let's go in and take a look..." Halfway through the words, Ye Han turned on the radio: "Ouyang, bring the rest of the people over and guard the door for me!"
"yes!"
"Luo Qi!"
"arrive!"
"Follow me!" Ye Han was the first to walk into the ice cave. Luo Qi took two steps to get in front of Ye Han, and then several more soldiers rushed to the front, protecting Ye Han firmly behind him.
