868 Ground drilling

Ye Han raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said in his heart that you can do this by yourself, what do you mean by dragging us over?

But this is the task arranged above, even if Ye Han has more ideas, he will never say it - as the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and illness comes from the mouth; As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid of no good people!

He was long past the age of hot-blooded impulsiveness, and he knew what to do with his mouth.

The rig continued to work, drilling deeper and deeper, and it didn't take long to reach the depth Xu Moliang requested, but the density was still not ideal in terms of drilling speed alone.

The driver turned around and asked, "Do you still drill down?" ”

"Forget it." Xu Moliang's eyebrows twisted into a big pimple, "That's it." ”

The pilot reversed the operation, and the drill bit was lifted upwards, and it was not long before it was raised to the surface, and a sample was sent into the boat.

Xu Moliang sighed as he looked at the sample full of ice, and painted the hill under the boat blue on the 3D model...... This means that the blast line must be moved to leave enough mass for the fragments to be separated after blasting.

In addition to this, Xu Moliang also marked several points on the top of the mountain, which are the most suitable locations for placing the super engine.

After all the work was done, the engineering ship put away the cables and flew to the next operation point to continue the survey mission.

After the completion of the survey task at the second operation site, four hours had passed, Xu Moliang announced the end of work, and the two engineering boats set off for their own voyages.

After returning to Luzhou, everyone rested and dined, and set off again two hours later to continue the survey mission.

This time, there were only Ye Han and his soldiers on the boat, and the engineering boats also changed from two to four, and the data obtained by various boats was sent back to Luzhou as soon as possible, and Xu Moliang completed the calculation and screening, and finally determined the blasting position.

When it comes to explosives, the Marine Corps can find a group of experts who can play explosives with great skill, and Ouyang Ping is one of them.

However, the Demomen are usually in contact with petty fights, and no one has ever studied how to blast a satellite...... This kind of topic goes far beyond the scope of conventional military operations, and it is simply madness!

But anyone who knows about the Mars project has to admit that this crazy plan does have a chance of success.

Ye Han and the others spent a whole week checking the bottom of Huoboi, and fully grasped the geological conditions of this satellite. The data obtained by Xu Moliang's survey circled ten of the most suitable blasting points on Phobos.

After the completion of the first phase of the survey, the two ships moved to Deimos.

It is said that with ten points on Phobos, enough "ammunition" can already be obtained, and there is no need to check the situation of Europa at all.

But the reality is quite the opposite, Phobos is actually an alternative, and Deimos is the main force to snipe Europa!

This is because Phobos is too close to Mars, its orbit is only 6,000 kilometers from the surface of Mars, and even if Europa passes by Mars, it will not fly so close to Mars, unless aliens really want to hit Mars with Europa!

And Deimos is more than 23,000 kilometers away from Mars, although the probability of Ganymede flying to this distance is not very high, but it is still more than Deimos and the probability, so Deimos is the focus of the plan.

Although the volume of Deimos is only 9×7×6 kilometers, the survey takes almost the same time as Deimos, and hundreds of survey holes are all over the surface of Deimos, obtaining a large amount of detailed and reliable geological data.

Xu Moliang and his team conducted a comprehensive analysis of Deimos, marking all the parts that could be used, and repeatedly studying which part was more suitable for the impact mission.

Not only a few astronomers on the Luzhou, but all the corresponding data were sent back to Earth, Beidu and Washington mobilized the entire astronomical community, and even used supercomputers to calculate the data, but in the end only six "ammunition" were circled on Phobos.

Based on the data provided by the Northern Capital, the Luzhou carried out a supplementary survey of Phobos, and the deepest cavern went nearly a thousand meters underground, obtained more accurate geological data, and found out the details of the surrounding area of the six munitions.

Beidu used this information to design the blasting plan of Phobos, and made accurate calculations of the location of each explosion point, the amount of explosive force required for each location, and the detonation sequence of each explosion point.

On October 6, 2027, the Phobos blasting program was completed, and the data was sent to Beiyuezhou and Luzhou respectively.

After receiving the data, Beiyuezhou immediately built nuclear bombs as planned, and the yield of each nuclear bomb was as accurate as possible and numbered as required to avoid misuse and mixing.

After receiving the data, the Luzhou immediately carried out pre-blasting preparations, and four engineering boats rushed to Deimos.

Ye Han personally instructed the engineering boat to land at the designated coordinates, repeatedly corrected its position to ensure that there were no problems, and then threw a cable to fix the engineering boat on the surface of Deimos.

Then the drilling rig at the stern of the boat was slowly erected - the drilling rig was not erected casually, the berthing attitude of the engineering boat must be measured first, and the angle between the ground well and the engineering boat must be calculated in combination with the excavation data, and then the drilling rig should be adjusted to a suitable position.

Luckily, the rig on the construction boat can drill from multiple angles!

Ye Han gave an order, and the drilling rig began to work, and the rapidly rotating drill bit slowly descended until it touched the ground.

The drill bit immediately plowed a shallow trench in the ground, and the debris shattered by the drill bit flew in all directions, flying straight away from Deimos, becoming space dust orbiting Mars.

The drill bit drilled into the ground, the engineering boat trembled slightly under the drive of the drilling rig, and the ground rock continued to fly into the air, forming a sparse dust belt floating into space.

The first engineering boat was successfully launched, which made a good start for the excavation of the shaft, and then the other engineering boats were put into construction one by one, and since then, all drilling rigs have been digging the blasting shaft day and night without stopping.

Due to the lack of manpower, Ye Han had to wake up the hibernating soldiers on the Yushan.

Because of the rusty business, the soldiers often made mistakes in the wells they dug, and direction deviations and depth deviations were commonplace.

Xu Moliang didn't know how to complain about the ability of the Marine Corps, but Ye Han and the soldiers were also very aggrieved, they were not engineers, no one had drilled a well at all, it would be good to dig out the well, and not let some deviations occur, isn't it difficult to catch ducks and put strongmen on the shelves?

If it weren't for the military's orders, Ye Han and the soldiers would have stopped doing it a long time ago.

And the conditions of Deimos are too poor, low gravity is still a trivial matter, even if you fly away from Deimos, it will be over if you fly back again, but the ubiquitous danger makes all the team members tense their nerves.
