Jupiter.

Under the dark red light, a multi-purpose fighter broke away from the second ship and flew straight to Ganymede below, flying around the satellite, scanning the surface of the satellite, and sending all the data back to the battleship.

"How's it going?" Ou Zhanpeng asked.

The No. 2 ship has been flying for several days, scanning it several times a day to record changes in the satellite in detail.

"Like yesterday, nothing was found." Liu Wenwen said disappointedly.

"What about the rest, how's the air pressure?"

"The sea level is 0.46 standard pressure, which is 0.01 higher than yesterday, so it shouldn't change much." Liu Wenwen said.

The changes are most dramatic when Jupiter is first ignited, and as time passes, the major moons tend to stabilize with very little fluctuation in data.

"Not bad, much better than Mars." Ou Zhanpeng said.

Callisto's sea level pressure is close to half of the standard air pressure, and if you land at this time, you only need to wear an oxygen mask to move around, and you don't even need to wear an extravehicular suit.

"What about the temperature?"

"The equator is 16 degrees, 0.4 degrees higher than yesterday."

"Wow, that's good!" Ling Xiao's exaggerated voice came over the radio, "I want to get some soil and land on the four kinds of two-ridge vegetables to eat!" ”

"Then you've got to wait!" Ou Zhanpeng said.

Callisto's atmosphere has just been formed, and it has no protection at all, and Ganymede has been patronized by various cosmic rays for a long time, and the surface material has extremely strong radiation, although the ice surface is melting, but the radiation is still there, and neither animals nor plants can survive naturally.

Some extreme creatures may be able to survive, but extreme cases don't really make any sense.

"Alright, come back." Liu Wenwen said.

The fighter returned to the No. 2 ship, and as soon as Ou Zhanpeng floated out of the cockpit, Ling Xiao floated over: "Have you heard, the above has replied, we are ready to withdraw." ”

"Withdraw?" Ou Zhanpeng's eyes lit up, "There is finally good news!" ”

The alien species ignited Jupiter, stimulated the nerves on it, and thought about how to curb the development of the alien species, and sent several documents to the second ship in a row, with only one core content, that is, the military presence of human beings in the direction of Jupiter must be maintained!

Specifically, the wreckage of the No. 1 ship was towed to the vicinity of Jupiter IV and transformed into an armed space station.

This plan does have a certain amount of potential, after all, the No. 1 ship is only seriously damaged on the outside, and there is basically no problem with the internal structure and function.

But the problem is that the No. 2 ship has neither raw materials nor technology, and even weapons and equipment are seriously lacking, even if the No. 2 ship is dismantled, it will not be able to make up for the material gap for building the space station.

"Who the hell is this plan? It's just whimsical! Liu Wenwen was not polite at all, and immediately replied with a strongly worded objection.

The core meaning is also clear: Expedition 2 has insufficient weapons and supplies, and cannot stay on Jupiter for a long time, and Jupiter does not have any industrial base, so there is no way to build a space station out of thin air.

She is also strong enough, she dares to say anything with a small mouth, and several people surrounded her to persuade her, and finally calmed down the donkey, but the reply was still according to her meaning, but she changed the words to be gentle and tactful.

In a word, we should give more consideration to the actual situation, instead of patting our heads and ignoring them, and asking the commanders and fighters at the front to overcome difficulties without asking whether the objective conditions allow it.

None of the mules in the production team are used like this!

With excitement and anticipation, Ou Zhanpeng immediately rushed to the bridge and personally confirmed the authenticity of the news.

The order was received, but when to withdraw is still a problem, and how to withdraw is also a problem.

Although the space station was no longer armed, the No. 2 ship still flew to Europa in accordance with the above arrangement, dragged the tattered No. 1 ship back, re-blew the shell, and carefully camouflaged it, making it look like it was very difficult to mess with.

Then, it is to put this kind of cargo in a suitable orbit, as if to monitor alien species, but in fact it has no effect.

Ling Xiao gave the space station a very vivid codename: Scarecrow.

Having said that, although the conditions were limited, whether it was the military or the expeditionary team, no one planned to let the situation on Jupiter get out of control, and it didn't take long for several probes to be released one after another.

Among them, there are micro probes dedicated to detecting satellites, as well as remote probes dedicated to monitoring Jupiter, and the power of a single probe is very small, and all signals need to be transferred centrally.

This important task was naturally handed over to the wreckage of the No. 1 ship to complete.

There is no problem with the power system of the No. 1 ship, and after setting the operation mode, it can operate safely for decades without external interference.

To add self-preservation, the expedition team also removed four plasma cannons from the second ship and installed them on the first ship as a fire platform.

Except for the fact that the range is a little closer, there is absolutely nothing to say about the power.

After half a month of busyness, Expedition 2 finally completed all the arrangements and set off to return to Earth.

The moment the battleship set sail, everyone gathered around the porthole, looking at Ganymede as it faded away, and Jupiter, which no one could ignore.

"You say, how long will Jupiter burn?" Xu Qing asked in a low voice.

Ou Zhanpeng hugged her shoulders: "Who knows, maybe it's a few years, maybe decades, or it may be burning forever." ”

No one knows exactly what the alien species used, but since Jupiter has been ignited, it will never be extinguished easily.

"Why are you worried about all this uselessness? Let's think about ourselves. Ling Xiao said lazily.

"What do you think?" Ou Zhanpeng said it appropriately.

"The aliens are all here, and we will definitely have to continue to send people and ships in the future, do you say that the above is sending us who are familiar with the situation, or is it another group of raw melons and eggs?" Ling Xiao's tone is meaningful, and his eyes are deep and melancholy, if he takes a photo and uploads it on the Internet, he can definitely kill a group of unworldly little girls in seconds.

Ou Zhanpeng and Xu Qing were silent together.

Feeling this thing, it came and went quickly, and after a while, the crowd dispersed, and everyone returned to their posts.

Jupiter's sphere of influence was too large, and Expedition 2 could not accelerate with all its might without scruples, and it took a full ten days to break out of Jupiter's gravitational range and officially embark on a long journey back.

Originally, it didn't take so many days, but the expeditionary team was not idle when it changed orbits, but constantly adjusted its course, sent fighters from time to time, and installed long-range observation devices on several satellites to prevent aliens from destroying short-range probes.

At this point, a monitoring network with staggered distance and near, high and low, has begun to take shape, like an invisible net, monitoring the alien species hiding near Jupiter layer by layer.
