Chapter 781: Submarine Base
The development of the situation was indeed as Hamill expected, the loss of three female worms, dealt a major blow to the aliens, and the aliens' counterattack was completely stopped.
The expeditionary force re-landed, this time easily setting up a base in another location, and more supplies were being delivered.
The ladder to heaven, the latest technology of the people of the Great West, only when they have a full grasp of air supremacy, can they dare to establish such a channel.
A high-tech orbit connects to space, where geostationary satellites hover, and then it acts like a crawler on a dock, transporting all kinds of supplies in a steady stream.
There was a "buzz" from far and near, and a huge round "tray" descended down the ladder above the distant clouds.
Approaching the ground, the "tray" began to slow down, and a large number of sparks splashed from under the disc.
With a "poof", the debris on the ice surface was blown away, and the "pallet" stopped steadily on the unloading yard, and then more than a dozen heavy trucks drove out of the "pallet".
Hu Zhi jumped out of the car and looked around curiously, this was the first time he had landed on Europa's ground in three months, and the gravity was more than half lighter and made him feel very novel.
Since the nuclear explosion, the expeditionary force has made a major breakthrough in the war situation, and the submarine base has been established, and now a large number of skilled workers are needed to complete the maintenance of the base.
After verifying his identity, Hu Zhi and his team entered a large base station on the ice field, where he saw three freight elevators, which led directly to the bottom of the sea, and Europa's undersea base was built under the ice outside.
The captain of the team urged a large group of people into the elevator, and then the elevator began to move towards the bottom of the sea.
Before the ice could be seen, an alarm was heard in the elevator, and the red light flashed to make everyone's hearts palpitate.
"Sir, is there any danger?"
Hu Zhi couldn't bear it, so he asked the captain.
The chief looked nonchalant: "Danger? Wrong, it's fatal! You should have seen the tides of Europa. The water column is more than 300 kilometers high, and there is no reason not to see it in space.
That's right, the tide is coming. ”
Not only Hu Zhi, but the faces of the elevator people were all white. The chief is not wrong, such a unique tide, such a height, they have often seen it in the Battlestar before, and these people have been sighing at such a natural wonder.
Well, now, I still have the passion to work in the sea, but I didn't expect that the distant tide was actually in front of me, can it not scare them?
The chief obviously understands everyone's psychology, he is a veteran stick, and his personality has long been polished, and seeing that his intimidation has achieved an effect, he followed up with a sentence:
"Don't worry, we've learned the pattern of Europa's tides, and this is the last elevator to dodge it. Rest assured, it's okay. ”
As the captain said, it took nearly ten minutes for the elevator to descend to the bottom of the sea, but the tide had not yet arrived.
But as soon as they all entered the subsea base station, the composite hatch overhead immediately closed.
Through the transparent ceiling, the engineers could see the elevator passage slowly retracted, and then only the round, large base lay silently on the seabed.
The sea seems to have fluctuated a little.
Sirens sounded throughout the base, and some soldiers drove construction trucks back and forth:
"Everyone should sit back in the safety cabin, please fasten your seat belts and familiarize yourself with the emergency evacuation procedures. The tide arrived five minutes later. ”
Hu Zhi and the others were shocked and flustered: "Isn't it, this base is not strong enough?" ”
In a panic, the ocean current overhead swept through like a hurricane, and a large amount of sand and stones on the bottom of the sea climbed up along the curved roof, and then fell like leaves in the wind, and was swept up by the current into the "sky".
"Soldiers", there was a noisy knocking sound from the base, the polymer roof began to shake, and the thick steel beams made a "creaking" sound, and the base seemed to be about to collapse.
In the distance, a huge rock rolled along the seabed, its speed was very fast, when it was still more than a thousand meters away from the base, the boulder bounced up, and then floated down the current into the air, but after five hundred meters, it still smashed at the base.
"Ahh , even those veteran sticks, everyone in the base let out a thunderous exclamation, and everyone's faces turned white.
With a "buzz", the countless crystals arranged around the base began to glow, and they released a film of light, which then spread and connected together at high speed.
With a bang, the 10,000-ton boulder was smashed on the light film, and then it was like floating on the surface of the lake, and the boulder was bounced out.
With a "woo", a huge shadow swept overhead, and all the soldiers in the base sat on the ground.
The blow just now brought too much pressure.
"Oh my God, look what's that?"
An exclamation frightened these people again, and just outside the light film, a huge plane connected to the sky and the earth, and the sea water stood diagonally and horizontally as if it was being squeezed.
With a "whoosh", the plane swept along the base, and then stood upright and pushed into the distance.
At the bottom of the sea, there is no longer a drop of seawater.
"Goo", this sound was very neat, and the new soldiers swallowed their saliva, their bodies were completely wet.
"Hehe, hehe, this is the tide, right? It's spectacular! ”
Hu Zhigan held his throat and laughed at himself, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a "buzz" sound, and the "sky" seemed to have collapsed, and the white ice cap above his head seemed to sink downward, and then a large amount of broken ice fell down.
"Get back to your job. Europa's ice cap is so strong that you don't have to worry about it. ”
Looking at the bear-like appearance of the new Ding paralyzed on the ground, the chief finally got impatient, scolded and kicked, he drove the gang back to his post, and then the hot work scene resumed in the base again.
"The next step is to sweep under the ice sheet."
Pointing to the holographic map in front of him, Zhang Binhui began to lay out the battle plan behind.
"You see, this is the direction of Europa's tides, and it has a huge impact on the whole planet, and we can take advantage of it.
By the movement of the tide, our army followed it. With the tide clearing the obstacles ahead, I believe the process of moving forward is much easier.
We've already occupied half of Europa's oceans, and I'm sure most of the aliens are hiding in the Lunar Shadow region of Jupiter.
This is a crucial battle, and by clearing the seabed of the aliens, we will be able to attack the underground.
At that time, this satellite will be our human race! ”
