101 Two choices

Time suddenly slowed down at this moment, and every second seemed like a world long.

Ou Zhanpeng silently counted the seconds in his heart, and when he counted to six, the smoke and dust covering Mars were suddenly torn apart by a ray of light, and then the mushroom clouds rose one after another, exploding conspicuous holes in the raging storm, looking like an eye of the storm, and like Mars suddenly opened a strange eye.

The yield of the sub-warhead is small, but the coverage is wide, and hundreds of warheads are all shot out in one go, almost plowing half of Mars.

By the time this short but intense round of bombardment ended, the surface of Mars was full of large and small craters of high-temperature sintering, and the storm, which had been weakening, had a brief strengthening due to the strong convection caused by the bombing.

When all the hollows were re-smoothed by the storm, the Martian storm, which had long been regular, turned out to be a large-scale chaos.

No one can see what happened to the alien base under the smoke, but indirect observation through various monitoring equipment can find that all the alien buildings exposed to the ground have basically been destroyed by the bombing.

Ou Zhanpeng was very surprised, he always thought that the alien building must be very tight, but in the face of the huge power of the mushroom bomb, the alien building is not much stronger than the human building, and even because the building density is not large, the weakening of the shock wave is very limited, and the surface buildings of the three alien bases have all been destroyed by the mushroom bomb, and there are still some ruins left, which is already very solid.

From receiving the order to completing the bombing, the whole process took only more than 20 minutes, which is not comparable to the time spent by two people in the outer space of Mars.

Then again, it was because of the long and patient wait of the two of them that they had the feat of destroying all the alien bases in half an hour.

However, after everything was over, Ou Zhanpeng and Xu Qing didn't have much joy, but they both had a trace of loss in their hearts.

It's not for the alien species, but because the life on the same plane that has lasted for more than half a year is coming to an end, and maybe there is a little bit of imminent return to the home.

No one misses this harsh living environment, but this place, this orbit located more than 9,000 kilometers outside Mars, has an extraordinary meaning for both of them.

However, the loss of the two people did not last long, and half an hour later, Didi sounded twice, and the spacecraft received a message from the base.

Xu Qing probed a little, Shan Qiuyu appeared on the screen, first praised the two of them a few words, and then ordered the two to stay in the orbit of Mars for the time being to maintain the deterrence of human beings against aliens.

This sounds funny at first glance, although the bombing has achieved an unprecedented victory, the overall situation on Mars is unprecedentedly grim.

Two weapon modules were blown up, the other two used up all the mushroom bombs, and only the anti-aircraft missile was left to support the scene, going back seven months, and this moment was the time when the military power of humanity on Mars was at its weakest.

And the Martian spacecraft is just a scientific research spacecraft, and the issue of equipping weapons has not been considered from the beginning, plus it can go in time when it departs, this spacecraft is basically a defenseless toothless tiger

But then again, even if it's just a paper tiger, after two consecutive bombings on Mars, it has more and more unimaginable deterrence, as long as the spacecraft remains in orbit, it is a silent and deadly threat, and the remnants of aliens dare not appear unscrupulously!

Then the two got a new piece of news: Expedition 2 had set off a few months ago, and now it was on its way to arrive, and it could arrive in two months at most!

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and Shan Qiuyu asked the two of them to make persistent efforts and persist in the last two months.

Obviously, in the year since the expedition-1 happened, the earth has never been slackened and laid flat for a minute, and the analysis of Mars and Jupiter has never stopped.

For this reason, the above has already made comprehensive arrangements, Expedition 1 has not yet set off, and the construction of Expedition 2 has been scheduled, but everything is highly confidential, and almost no one knows about Expedition 2 except for the people involved.

According to Shan Qiuyu, the Expedition 2 fully considered the shortcomings of the 1st, the hull is larger, the ship has been rewound, loaded with more materials, the comprehensive combat capability is stronger, but it needs fewer personnel.

Not only that, Expedition 2 also brought a batch of weapons and equipment, planning to transform the Mars spacecraft into an armed space station in orbit, and build a base to garrison Mars to prevent the resurgence of alien species.

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't believe that this was true, the base had already anticipated what happened to the two of them at the moment so long ago, and made a comprehensive arrangement in a very targeted manner.

Shan Qiuyu gave Ou Zhanpeng and Xu Qing two choices, one was to wait for the arrival of Expedition 2 and continue to stay here to guard Mars.

After all, I have been here for more than half a year, and I am familiar with the environment and understand the situation, and it is normal for the above to hope that the two of them will stay.

Another option is to leave with Expedition 2, but instead of returning to Earth, fly to Jupiter even more far!

Hearing this, Ou and Xu did not hesitate to speak in unison and unanimously asked to fly to Jupiter.

The situation is already obvious, Mars is just incidental, and the real goal of Expedition 2 is to escape Jupiter's alien species!

But there were not only aliens there, but also Expedition One, and those companions on the ship who had been together for half a year, all of which prompted the two to make the choice to fly to Jupiter.

As for Mars, hehe, this is nothing more than a regular scan of the planet's surface, find signs of redevelopment of alien bases, and immediately carry out orbital bombing to clear them.

In Xu Qing's words, such a simple task is to arrange two well-trained dogs, which can be completed without any mistakes.

The astronaut who was about to replace them both innocently lay down.

The next thing is to wait patiently and look forward to it, and every morning when they get up, the two of them have to get together and carefully calculate the speed and position of Expedition 2.

Handwriting the countdown has become the greatest pleasure for the two.

But Expedition 2 has not yet arrived, and something happened to Mars.

During routine observation on this day, Xu Qing suddenly found that the Martian storm, which had lasted for more than half a year, had weakened significantly.

She thought she was dazzled for a while, but calling someone in Ou had the same result.

Ou Zhanpeng immediately used his brain.

The situation is already obvious, the Martian storm has lasted so long because of the intervention of alien species, and now the alien base has been destroyed, and eighty percent of the intervention methods of alien species have also been destroyed by bombing.

The Great Storm, which was long over, lost the support of the alien species, and immediately became a rootless tree and a sourceless water, only because the energy accumulated in the past had to rely on time, so it lasted for several more days.

At this point, Mars finally revealed the true face of Lushan that had been lost for a long time.
