Hundreds of millions of kilometers away, over Jupiter, two S0-102-A fighters hovered at the edge of the atmosphere, one after the other. In the former fighter plane was Virgil, and in the latter fighter was Morant, and directly below them was the "Big Red Spot" that had been raging for 400 years.

The Great Red Spot is a superstorm on Jupiter, located in a cloud band at 23 degrees south latitude, the size of three Earths, and is brick-red in color and resembles a giant eye. Over the past 50 years, the superstorm has not abated, but has intensified, with winds exceeding 400 km/h in the outer "ring of speed" and a counterclockwise rotation in the center at 640 km/h.

Morant looked at the sleeping boy in the cockpit of the fighter plane in front of him, and a strange feeling flooded his heart. He looked serious and checked Virgil's genetic profile over and over again, not believing his eyes.

On the battlefield, if an enemy is found at any time and in any place, it should be destroyed as soon as possible. Now, Morant has aimed at Virgil's fighter plane, ready to launch missiles, but he just puts his finger on the launch button, not knowing what to hesitate.

"I see you, murderer." Virgil's voice came from the communication channel, and it seemed that he was awake.

"The radiation protection coating saved your life, the experiment was successful, and we were all transported to Jupiter." Morant said.

"Fire, murderer." Virgil ignored him.

"I'm happy to accept that title, there's always going to be someone to do it. You are a genius and joining Olympus is a bright path. ”

"Think beautifully! You single-handedly orchestrated the Mine 26 attack, bombed dozens of lunar bases for no apparent reason, slaughtered entire Combined Fleet and Wehrmacht, and used untold civilians with the utmost brutality, any one of which would be enough to sentence you to a hundred hangings! ”

"These are necessary sacrifices." Morant's face doesn't change.

"You know, your mother is the best prostitute I've ever seen!"

"Bastard thing!"

Morant was finally enraged, and he was most disgusted by the mention of his mother. He no longer hesitated, pressed the launch button with one hand, the ammunition compartment opened, and an L-2 missile dragged a long tail flame, causing a loud noise in the atmosphere, forming a white umbrella-shaped sonic boom cloud, which rushed towards Virgil's fighter plane at several times the speed of sound.

Virgil was prepared, he maneuvered the fighter, tilted the fuselage, and successfully avoided the missile's flight path with a roll maneuver.

However, Jupiter's surface temperature drops as low as minus 150 degrees Celsius, and in such a situation, the plane's scorching tail flame is simply impossible to hide, and it can easily be locked by thermal imagers.

The missile slashed in a large circle in the air, locked onto Virgil's fighter again, and rushed straight away.

Virgil was not professionally trained, and when he made a roll maneuver just now, the huge overload made him dizzy. Holding back the discomfort, he swung his body and unleashed a barrage of hot decoys.

The missile could not distinguish the target, and crashed headlong into the thermal decoy barrage, exploding in the air.

Virgil finally regained his senses completely, and at this critical juncture, he decided to give it a go.

He grasped the joystick, made a horizontal scissor maneuver to the right, and after two disguises, he successfully circled behind Morant's fighter, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed.

Knowing that he was locked, Morant turned the engine up to full power, and the huge acceleration pressed him tightly against his seat.

Virgil did not hesitate to launch missiles. An L-2 missile whizzed towards Morant's plane.

Morant immediately released the foil bomb, then lowered the nose of the plane and dived deep into the clouds.

The aluminum foil resonates with the radar waves of the missile, causing the missile to lose its target. A large mixture of PTFE and aluminum foil also disables the missile's deflected engine. Since then, the L-2 missile has completely become blind and lame.

Seeing this, Virgil also swooped down into the depths of the clouds, pressing step by step, which played into Morant's arms.

The storm clouds of the Great Red Spot roar and roll like Godzilla, and the reddish-brown clouds thunder and lightning, and here there are hundreds of lightning bolts per second.

Virgil realizes that he has made a stupid decision, and he has to desperately avoid the lightning in a serpentine maneuver. Jupiter's turbulent clouds create huge potential differences, resulting in lightning occurring at a completely random location that is simply unpredictable.

An orange bolt of lightning struck diagonally, hitting the right tail of Virgil's plane impartially. The Faraday cage construction of the fighter successfully protected the internal components, but the aircraft also briefly lost control due to damage to the tail.

Morant seized the opportunity and made a tumble to the rear of Virgil's fighter. The radar locks on, and Morant regains the initiative.

"Don't think I don't know, your base is on Titan, and I only need to send an expeditionary force to wipe you out."

"Then give it a try!"

"The solar system will be unified, and humanity will be purified. The Olympus Empire will be a continuation of the Kingdom of Aston. ”

"Wake up, your kingdom was destroyed ten years ago. What are you going to do? Killed Cassius? ”

"I will quietly wait for him to die and then ascend to the throne. Come on, join Olympus. I can guarantee that within six months, the Green Bank will be wiped out, and humanity will officially enter a Level 2 civilization. Blake's plan is that there is no plan, and he, like Clay, is a madman and a fool. Follow him, you have only one way to die! ”

(Author's note: According to Kardashev's law of civilization grading, level 1 civilization is a planetary civilization, level 2 civilization is a stellar civilization, and level 3 civilization is a galaxy civilization.) ）

"In my opinion, you're even more stupid than Clay."

"You brought it on yourself!"

Morant completely lost patience and fired two missiles at once. He knew that if he couldn't recruit or kill the child, he would become Olympus's worst enemy.

When the two missiles were in full pursuit, Virgil found that his thermal decoy bombs had been exhausted, and with his existing flight technology, it was difficult to maneuver to avoid the attack of two missiles at the same time.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen on the operation panel before that the S0-102 fighter was a hybrid of nuclear fusion and chemical fuel, and there were thousands of kilograms of powerful oxidizer in the fuel tank. A crazy idea popped into his head.

With two missiles looming closer, it's time to act. Virgil reversed course and plunged into a thick cloud of methane, hydrogen, and ammonia, before opening the valve and a colorless liquid erupted into a mist.

When the time came, Virgil adjusted the nozzle of the rocket engine, igniting the clouds in one fell swoop. The two L-2 missiles did not have time to dodge, they were engulfed in flames, and both were killed.

"This madman!" Morant scolded.

The explosion sets off a chain reaction, turning the entire outer storm belt into a wall of fire, trapping Morant and Virgil in it.

Morant reacted quickly, but was still affected, and the plane's stealth coating was partially burned, which meant that he could not enter the stealth state. As soon as large enemy ships appear around, it will be difficult for him to deal with them.

In the chaos, Virgil once again took a good position, aiming at Morant's fighter plane, firing two missiles at once, and he was going to retaliate with a tooth for tat.

Morant's foil bombs were also depleted, but he was undaunted by the surging onslaught of two missiles.

I saw that he pulled the fighter up at a large elevation angle, so that the fuselage and the horizontal plane were almost vertical.

With a rapid increase in flight altitude, the fighter tends to stall. At the moment of breaking out of the storm cloud, Morant resolutely turned off the engine and let the fighter plane fall freely.

The two missiles remained at an extremely high speed for unknown reasons, and as a result, they both rushed in front of the Morant fighter plane against the wings, and collided together and exploded into fireballs.

The stalled and fallen fighter plane re-entered the storm cloud, and the chaotic vortex caused the fighter to roll up and down.

Morant clenched the handle with all his strength, restarted the engine, and aimed the cannon in the direction of Virgil with a shuttle cannonball.

Virgil was shot in the wing, his flight attitude was out of control, and his situation fell into passivity.

Morant, on the other hand, was once again in a good position, locking on to Virgil's fighter plane and mocking contemptuously: "Don't forget, Jupiter's gravity is 2.5 times that of Earth."

But Morant was once again hesitant on whether to continue the attack.

"If you kill me, what kind of ability is it to scare people with missiles!"

"You deserve to die, but I'm not going to kill you." Morant said.

"Why?"

"Did you know that on the eve of the destruction of the kingdom of Aston, a three-month-old baby was secretly sent out of the palace. He crossed the ocean and was taken to the Duchy of Highland, where he grew up under the care of a quartermaster. ”

"What does this have to do with me?" Virgil was in a trance.

"You have the blood of the Aston royal family in your veins."

"I grew up in Itartown, and I'm a native of Itartown, and I have nothing to do with your kingdom. I only know that the war you started killed the whole town, and I will only spend my life taking your dog's life! ”

"Genome doesn't lie, admit it, your real name is Crusoe Conqueror. You are part of the family of conquerors, and we are brothers. ”

"Nonsense!"

Virgil remembers that Andrew told him that it was Morant, who killed his parents and brothers, leaving him unaccompanied in the world, and that he studied desperately and learned everything so that he could one day get revenge. But now, Morant actually said that they were brothers, and Virgil couldn't stand it, absolutely not!

Virgil was completely engulfed in anger, he opened the golden sun sails, and the strong reflection of the sunlight stung Morant's eyes, and for a while, Morant's fighter plane stumbled into the core of the storm like headless wings.

At the heart of the storm, violent updrafts suck a variety of highly corrosive compounds out of the depths of Jupiter, and friction between the clouds induces lightning ten times more powerful than the periphery, and any one of these lightning bolts can release enough electricity to run all household appliances in North America for an hour at the same time.

Here, it won't be long before Morant is torn apart by powerful air currents and lightning along with people and planes.

He could only save himself.

Morant spread his canards, gradually adjusted his flight attitude with the flying sensation he had cultivated over the years, and used the central updraft to keep the fighter in a spiral away from the core of the storm, which was the only way.

In order to escape, Morant lifted the safety lock of the fighter, the reactor began to run overloaded, and the rocket engine was turned on. The blue tail jet inspires a series of Mach rings. The tip of the canard wing rubbed violently against Jupiter's atmosphere and heated up, forming two long fiery meteors. Methane and ammonia condensed into droplets, mixed with ice crystals, scraped like knives against the cockpit glass. There was a muffled sound in the hull of the fighter, and cracks were already in the outermost layer of armor.

In the core of a storm the size of three Earths, the performance of the S0-102-A fighter is maximized.

He did it.

This time, he no longer hesitated, and the fighter against Virgil was an EMP missile (electromagnetic interference missile).

The high-frequency electromagnetic pulse paralyzed the avionics system, and Virgil's fighter plane was completely out of control. He was going to make a last-ditch effort.

Virgil adjusts his flight helmet and turns to mind control. Morant noticed it and directly turned on the brainwave sanctions. Virgil had a splitting headache and fainted.

At this time, Morant's brainwave sanctions are exactly what Andrew called a by-product of the "second project", he reversely tracks people's brainwave activity and emits corresponding interference radio waves, causing the person's nervous system to fall into chaos, and if necessary, it can directly destroy the target brain.

Seeing that Virgil was about to fall into the core of the storm, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky - it was the "Orion"!
