1549 Saturn Potato

Generally speaking, when it comes to landing, most people's first reaction is that the satellite appears in the starry sky with Saturn as the background, and the satellite is just between Saturn and the landing craft, and the landing craft flies straight over and falls steadily on the surface of the satellite......

Of course, there is no problem with landing in this way, but the path of the landing craft is almost perpendicular to or close to the orbit of the satellite, and if it does not start its engine to slow down when it touches the ground, the only consequence is to hit the surface of the satellite at high speed, and eventually the boat will be destroyed and killed.

So how did Ye Han do it?

After aiming at the landing site, the Thunder Mountain carefully adjusted the speed of the battleship - this is a particularly meticulous and delicate work, not only considering the speed of the spacecraft, but also considering the influence of Saturn's gravity on the landing craft, and after repeated calculations by the ship's computer, the optimal speed for the landing craft to be released was obtained.

In order to prevent the landing craft from being exposed, Ye Han ordered that the engine should not be started under any circumstances, and that it could only fly close to the meeting point by inertia.

That's why the battleship had to adjust its speed.

The landing craft are disguised as small celestial objects, and no matter the shape, velocity, spectral analysis, or other means, they will conclude that it is a small celestial body.

In order to confuse the aliens, the landing craft is very slow, and it will gradually fly over a long distance of millions of kilometers over a period of more than a week, quietly approaching Titan without alarming the aliens.

If aliens found the landing craft, they would only think that it was a small celestial object passing by Saturn......

Ye Han didn't know if he could hide from the aliens by doing this, but he had already taken into account all the factors he could think of, and he had done everything he could, and the result could only depend on the will of God.

After the first landing craft was released, the Leishan adjusted its angle and carried out the second and third releases, and the three landing craft disguised as small celestial bodies gradually flew towards their respective targets.

This is a dangerous and deadly journey, one might even say a strategic adventure, and if it succeeds, the situation of the enemy's strength and our weakness will be completely reversed; Otherwise, humanity will fall into the abyss completely.

On 19 July, the landing craft approached the rendezvous as planned after a long journey of eleven days, and at this moment, all eyes of the fleet were on the landing craft No. 1.

At this time, the distance between the landing craft and Saturn was less than 142,000 kilometers, the left side of the landing craft was the huge Saturn, the left rear was the inconspicuous Titan XVI, and the other side of the landing craft was the legendary F ring, the outermost circle of Saturn's rings.

At about 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the landing craft gradually approached Titan, Ye Han used the data link to connect the landing craft, and asked with concern: "Wang Yan, how is the situation?" ”

A few seconds later, he heard a somewhat distorted voice: "Report to the captain, everything is normal, my boat is already in position, and it is expected to land in seven minutes." ”

The speed of the landing craft is not slow, because the route of the landing craft is almost parallel to the satellite orbit, and the relative speed between the two is close to zero, so the landing craft does not need to slow down or start the engine, which perfectly realizes the requirements of Ye Han's covert landing.

Ye Han instructed with concern: "Be careful." After speaking, he stopped talking and handed over the leading power to Wang Yan in front.

But with a few swipes of his finger, the panorama in front of him was immediately replaced by several virtual screens, some of which were images of the interior of the landing craft, some of which were of the outside, and some of which were distant and close-up.

These images come from the microsatellites released by the landing craft, and the reason why the satellites were released in advance was to help the landing craft adjust its attitude.

A few minutes later, Ye Han heard Wang Yan's voice again: "Prepare to land!" ”

After saying that, he twisted the joystick slightly, and the auxiliary thruster disguised as a stone tip on the right side of the landing craft quietly opened, silently spewing out a stream of water vapor, pushing the landing craft closer to the satellite.

There is a virtual cross icon on the Iapetus, which is like a large potato, which is the intended landing site, and Wang Yan and the soldiers on the boat must bury the nuclear bomb in the landing site to ensure that the big potato is pushed to the A ring.

Wang Yan also has the same icon on his helmet, and the two icons coincide to indicate that the landing craft is in the right direction, otherwise it is out of direction and must be adjusted.

Wang Yan's eyes did not blink, constantly correcting the direction, so that the two crosses always coincided together, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his palms, forehead and nose.

The big potatoes got closer and bigger, and after ten minutes, they finally occupied the entire underneath, and after a short while, the ground got closer and closer, and the landing craft landed lightly on the ground, and actually bounced up and fell like a full-blown ball, and it was repeated several times before it quieted down.

Titan's gravitational pull is low, and the landing craft is as light as a dragonfly when it lands.

Wang Yan let out a sigh: "Report to the captain, our boat has successfully landed, slightly deviating from the landing point, but it doesn't matter, just get out of the boat and walk a few steps in a while." ”

"Okay, complete the task as soon as possible!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" After that, Wang Yan took the soldiers out of the landing craft, lifted the landing craft without much effort, walked dozens of meters and put it on the landing site.

Next, the fighters first fixed the landing craft, set up a tent on the side of the landing craft that was exactly the same color as the ground, and drilled into the tent and used lasers to dig holes in the ground.

According to the plan, Wang Yan and his team will plant seven super nuclear bombs at different depths underground.

At this time, the Qingzhou and Shihe were attracting the attention of the aliens in the other direction, and although there was no official exchange of fire, hundreds of alien warships had already flown out of the star ring, staring at the two human warships.

The alien formation is very strong, if it weren't for the distance, the alien warships would probably rush up and completely destroy the two human warships.

Ye Han was extremely suspicious that the aliens had already discovered the expeditionary fleet, but because the expeditionary fleet only had three warships, the aliens had never taken the expeditionary fleet to heart...... If the aliens had been keeping an eye on the expeditionary fleet, the aliens would have discovered the landing craft a long time ago and would never have let the landing craft fall on Titan XVII!

Whether the aliens know it or not, the landing craft has landed accurately, and after simple preparations, the marines on board the boat dig holes in the ground with lasers, planning to place several super-nuclear bombs at different depths.

The No. 1 landing craft landed successfully, Ye Han was very relieved, nestled in his chair and asked, "Where is the No. 2 landing craft?" ”

He Lu glanced at the virtual screen: "It is close to the meeting point, and it is expected to converge with Titan in six hours and forty-seven minutes." ”

"Where's Three?"

"Basically in place, estimated arrival time of nine hours and twenty-four minutes!"

Ye Han said with relief: "It's not bad, don't forget to remind me when the second boat lands!" ”

"Yes......" He Lu was halfway through his words, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he suddenly raised his head and roared, "Captain, there is a situation!" ”
