120 The Verge
Afterwards, Lotu sent the battle report back to Earth as soon as possible, and focused on the situation of Europa, expressing his willingness to take responsibility.
However, the base did not blame anyone, but while fully affirming the results of the battle, it encouraged the expeditionary 1 to make persistent efforts and continue to be brilliant.
In addition, before the arrival of Expedition 2, the No. 1 ship will continue to take on the heavy responsibility of suppressing alien species, which can be said to be a long way to go.
Despite knowing that it was impossible to be punished, Lotu still breathed a long sigh of relief when he received the reply, and he hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind to plan a new operation immediately while the second ship still had some time to arrive.
To put it simply, in addition to leaving a small number of missiles to maintain the defense of the battleship, the remaining missiles are counted as one and all smashed on the head of the alien base.
But before his plan could be implemented, a new situation appeared on Europa.
The alien base, which had not changed all along, suddenly moved, and groups of aliens broke through the ground with various equipment, and the troops were divided into four routes, moving from the hilly mountainous area to other directions to rebuild a new base.
Ling Xiao commented with a smile: "This is the alien version of eggs that can't be put in one basket!" ”
There is Europa on the outside and Europa on the inside, and although there is an altitude difference of more than 1.4 million kilometers between the two, it is obviously not so realistic to attack in close proximity.
So, Lotu smashed all the remaining missiles out in one go, leaving not even anti-aircraft missiles.
Three of the four bases on Europa were smashed by him in one go, leaving only the last one barely supported.
Lotu was also red-eyed, and planned to bombard Europa with the main cannon.
Theoretically, the range of the electromagnetic cannon is infinite, but in practice, the accuracy of the shell can only be guaranteed within the effective range, and the farther it flies, the greater the deviation.
The difficulty of accurately hitting the target is equivalent to throwing a line from the moon to the earth, and it must accurately pass through the nose of a needle when landing.
It's hard to do it with missiles, and trying to destroy an alien base with unguided shells is much less likely than buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot.
But then again, hitting a child on a rainy day is idle, and being idle is also idle, what if the blind cat runs into a dead mouse? Even if you don't hit, you can still train the team, right?
You must know that firing a cannon in this place is not so simple, you must take into account the gravity of Jupiter, the gravitational force of the major moons, the influence of Jupiter's magnetic field on the trajectory, and various other factors, and the calculation of the trajectory is not generally complicated.
It doesn't have to hit the target, as long as the shell can accurately hit the satellite, which is no small achievement.
In this way, a group of people accompanied Lotu to go crazy and fired a few shots at the alien base whenever they had the chance.
It's time to pass the time of boredom.
In the beginning, a lot of calculations had to be done for each shot, and after the shells were fired, they were always inexplicably offset.
The result is a shot every day, and everyone has to come together to analyze the causes, figure out solutions, and rack their brains to improve the technology.
Through continuous attempts, the calculation of firing the cannon became more and more complicated, and the trajectory became more and more stable.
Wouldn't it be possible to hit the target under such complex conditions, and if you change to another place?
When you think about it, it seems that the shelling is also quite attractive.
In addition, everyone also carried out a series of modifications to the Swordfish, dismantling the huge and bloated cargo hold, replacing it with a streamlined fairing, and removing more than a dozen anti-aircraft missiles from the battleship to install them, and finally converting the Swordfish into an air and space fighter to replace the Star Falcon left on Mars.
However, in terms of volume, it should be a gunboat without a cannon.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of March, and the shells in the inventory were wasted, and the expedition No. 1 finally waited for the No. 2 ship.
It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, thinking of Xu Qing after a long absence, Ou Zhanpeng's heart is hot, and he doesn't even have time to answer Ling Xiao, so angry that Ling Dashao scolds someone for being heavy on sex and ignoring friends.
Ou Zhanpeng directly scolded back: "You are a single dog, you know how to do it!" ”
Ling Xiao was so sad and indignant: "Lao Tzu has been among thousands of flowers, and the leaves don't touch your body, so it's not like you, give up the whole forest for a tree!" ”
"I don't understand, but I have at least one tree here, where is your forest?" Ou Zhanpeng pretended to be curious, and looked left and right for a while.
"I'm too lazy to tell you!" Ling Xiao took a critical hit of 10,000 points and shut up in a huff.
It's strange, why didn't you find that Ou Fei's mouth could say so much before? What kind of ecstasy did Xu Qing take?
There was thunder of joy in the No. 1 ship, but Expedition No. 2 was like a great enemy, and everyone tensed their nerves.
The former has already completed the task, so naturally there is no need to be nervous, but the latter has just arrived at Jupiter, and there is still a big battle waiting for them, so how can it be easy?
After several discussions, the new battle plan was submitted to the base and approved, and a few days later, the two battleships joined forces and marched in unison towards Ganymede.
The two warships are less than a kilometer apart, but Ou Zhanpeng and Xu Qing can't see each other because of their respective duties, so they can only understand their lovesickness through video.
Two days later, the two-ship formation crossed the orbit of Europa, but did not stop at all, but continued to reduce altitude and flew straight towards Europa.
Capture the thief first capture the king, hit the snake and hit seven inches, that is, the alien species cares so much about Europa, and must attack its vital point, instead of wasting ammunition on Callisto.
Sensing the actions of humans, Ganymede, located on the other side of Jupiter, immediately went into action and took off a batch of flying machines, but the quantity and quality were not very good.
They set off in the direction of Jupiter immediately after takeoff, and even abandoned Europa completely in order to support Europa.
The situation is getting more and more weird, and everyone is full of curiosity, not understanding what secrets are hidden in Io's alien base.
A few days later, the formation was about to arrive at the preset battlefield.
The arrival of the expeditionary formation has attracted great attention from the alien species, and a large number of alien aircraft have taken off from the surface of Europa, with a total of six ice ships, more than 30 gunboats, and nearly 300 alien fighters.
The outcome of this battle determines the life and death of the alien species, and there is no doubt that this is the entire family of the alien species.
The various alien vehicles that took off quickly gathered together to form a large formation, blocking the expedition right ahead!
The expeditionary formation went toe-for-tat with two warships flying eight air-space fighters, including six multi-purpose Star Falcon on the No. 2 ship, one Star Falcon on the No. 1 ship and one modified Swordfish.
In addition, each aerospace fighter is accompanied by six intelligent drones.
2 warships, 8 fighters, and 48 UAVs formed a combat formation and marched in the opposite direction with the enemy.
The great battle was about to break out, and the atmosphere in the bridge was extremely solemn, and the air seemed to be suffocating.
