1420 By the way
The virtual conference room was once again full, and after everyone arrived, Huo Qiang said solemnly: "Now the meeting is held, first of all, the chief of staff Wu Han will introduce the situation, Wu Han?" ”
"Here!" Wu Han immediately got up, clicked his fingers in the air a few times, and a large Europa hologram appeared above the conference table, quietly and slowly spinning.
Wu Han pointed to the hologram and said: "A few days ago, the aliens who withdrew from Europa and Europa arrived on Europa, everyone knows about this matter, I will not repeat it, the current situation is that the enemy is hiding under the ice, and it is very difficult to find the enemy's location with our existing means." ”
Huo Qiang said: "What are the specific difficulties? ”
"The thickness of the ice." Wu Han said, "According to astronomical estimates, Europa's ice is more than 100 kilometers thick, and the enemy can go to any corner except for the shallow near-earth." ”
Zhuang Bo said: "Either hiding under the ground or hiding under the ice, aren't aliens rats?" ”
Huo Qiang tugged at the corners of his mouth: "They are not rats, and we are not cats, but no matter where the enemy is hiding, we must find them!" ”
Zhuang Bo looked entangled: "It's too difficult, this is more than 100 kilometers of ice, even if you use a super nuclear bomb to blow it up, you have to use 180 pieces, right?" Why don't you dig a hole in the ice and throw a nuclear bomb into it, like the international fleet? ”
"One hundred and eighty may not be enough, we don't have many nuclear bombs." Huo Qiang said with a headache.
Zhuang Bo spread his hands: "What can I do then?" We don't have much time. ”
Huo Qiang nodded: "How far are the enemy's reinforcements?" ”
Wu Han said: "Conservative estimates, about eight days of sailing. ”
Huo Qiang said: "In any case, the fleet must not let the enemy's reinforcements target, I am also conservative, the fleet will withdraw at least two days in advance, and the time left for us is only six days." ”
Zhuang Bodao: "Commander, six days is too tight, don't say you don't have a clue now, you just have eyebrows, and this little time is not enough!" ”
What aliens are best at is to make holes, whether it is a satellite or a planet, as long as it is occupied by aliens, it will definitely end up full of holes, and tunnel warfare is one of the most difficult defensive tactics to deal with.
If you don't believe it, just look at Ganymede and Ganymede, you can see that you have fought again and again, but you can't destroy the aliens. Six days to take Europa? It's just a joke!
"That's it, six days is too tight...... "Several fast-talking captains agreed one after another, and those who didn't speak also agreed in their hearts.
Huo Qiang sighed: "I don't know that six days is too tight? But the enemy only gives us this little time, and from now on, I don't want to hear this nonsense anymore, so let me think carefully about how we can use the limited time to achieve our goals. ”
Everyone stopped talking, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they couldn't think of a way, they really had nothing to say.
The silence lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally Zhuang Bo broke the silence: "Commander, the solution is not something that can be thought of in a while, let's think about it the other way around." ”
Huo Qiang suddenly became interested: "What's the other way around?" ”
Zhuang Bo said: "Since you can't think of a way, let's analyze the purpose of the aliens." ”
"Go on!"
"I think so, at the moment the strategic initiative is still in our hands, and the enemy knows that he can't resist our blows, so he takes the initiative to withdraw into Europa...... They do this, eighty percent of them want to delay time, delay until reinforcements arrive to turn the situation around, when the initiative changes hands, not only can we not take Europa, but it is difficult to say whether there is a chance for a sixth expedition. ”
Huo Qiang couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes: "Say something useful!" ”
Zhuang Bo immediately said: "If you want to break the game, you must first know the situation under the ice, and the difficulty in this matter is how to reconnoitre, whether it is a robot or other means, you can't find the situation in the depths of the ice!" ”
Huo Qiang nodded: "Finally got to the point, the question turned back, how can we know the situation under the ice?" ”
"Punch a hole, with a laser." One of the captains blurted out.
The international fleet is in front of Jin Yu, and it doesn't take a brain to come up with this method.
Huo Qiang nodded lightly: "Is there anything else?" ”
Although he didn't say anything, everyone could see that the commander was not optimistic about this method.
Come to think of it, it's not difficult to dig a hole in the ice, but the laser cannon is so big, the laser beam is so thick, and the cross-section of the ice hole is only a few squares.
Unless the ice cave hits the enemy's hiding place, no amount of ice cave will be able to find out what's going on under the ice.
A hesitant voice said, "Can you use the blasting method to measure the seismic wave?" ”
Huo Qiang continued to nod: "It's also a way...... Anything else? ”
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, but no one said anything.
Huo Qiang was simply disappointed, so many people actually only came up with two suggestions, and they were not very practical methods, could it be that this time it was destined not to win Europa?
"Also, there's the need to send someone down." Zhuang Bo looked entangled, "The battle has reached the most critical time, and the determination must be resolute!" ”
He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what he meant.
Is it okay to send someone down? Absolutely.
But no one knows what the situation is under the ice, and tunnel warfare is a more dangerous combat environment than street fighting, if the people sent down find aliens, and the two sides have a conflict under the ice, the sacrifice is definitely not ordinary, in case the aliens make dumplings, they can't even send a message.
But can war not kill people? Of course not!
Once you can be a general, you don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, don't look at the usual things that you love to nurse and soldier, but when you really get to the battlefield, life and death are just the word casualty on the document.
The expedition is not just about fighting aliens, the success or failure of the mission will also affect the strategic decisions of both the enemy and the enemy, and as the old saying goes, success is not allowed to fail.
What is the value of one hundred and eighty lives in order to win?
Wu Han said: "It's not difficult to send people to land, but the difficult thing is how to find out the situation under the ice, it's not that I am in the opposite tone, but the problems that can be solved by landing people can be solved by sending a few more drones." ”
Zhuang Bodao: "Then send a few more drones, if it doesn't work, try it first!" ”
"Then try it first!" Huo Qiang looked solemn, "Wu Han, after the meeting, you can arrange for the headquarters to coordinate, and report if you have any gains." ”
"Yes!" Wu Han agreed, "Commander, do we need to communicate with the international fleet for our plan?" It was originally the task of the two families......"
"Then let's report it, and by the way, ask them if there is any good way."
