The "Orion" threw four towing cables, combined with two robotic arms, 18 rocket engines and 360 Hall thrusters to open in reverse at full power, and simply fished Virgil's fighter out of the "Big Red Spot".

Morant knew that the situation was not good, with his current condition, he could not compete with a large armed space station, and the nearest fleet was 2 million kilometers away, and if he continued to attack, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

So, he hid in the clouds and quietly fled Jupiter from afar. Before leaving Jupiter's atmosphere, he sent a self-destruct signal to Virgil's plane, which would cause Virgil's plane to self-destruct five minutes later.

"Get him out, quick!" Fairman stared anxiously at the outside surveillance from the command module.

Five months ago, when he was about to arrive at the Titan base, Blake secretly gave him several special assignments. This includes digging into Virgil's identity and background. After several months of investigation, he has gradually realized that this child may be carrying a big secret, which is related to the life and death of everyone in the Titan base and even the entire Green Bank organization. But what exactly, he did not know.

That genetic map document was deliberately leaked by Dr. House.

The fighter plane successfully docked with the space station, and several technicians held electric drills and acetylene blowtorches to meet them.

"Raise the flame temperature, the cockpit door is sealed!"

"It's useless, this is KF-6T titanium tungsten alloy, which can withstand high temperatures of 4200 degrees, while our acetylene blowtorch is only up to 3500 degrees!"

"Then use an electric drill and drill all those screws for me."

"Still no, these screws are harder than our drills!"

“……”

Seeing that the technicians were in a hurry and making no progress, Fellman was in a hurry in the command module, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, flew to the test chamber, picked up a barrel of liquid helium and rushed to the interface.

As a large vat of near-absolute zero liquid helium was poured up, the surface metal of the cockpit door began to embrittle, and the technician lit the acetylene blowtorch in time, and the surface metal peeled off layer by layer due to uneven heating under the huge temperature difference.

It worked!

(Author's note: Absolute zero, the temperature at which all microscopic particles stop their thermal motion, is about minus 273.15 degrees Celsius.) ）

Then, as they did, the cockpit door quickly thinned, and when the last layer of metal was brittle, Fellman kicked it in, and the cockpit door broke a large hole.

Fellman slipped into the cockpit, smashed the lock, and pulled Virgil out of his seat. At this time, the self-destruct time displayed on the control panel is only one minute and nine seconds.

Fellman first threw Virgil into the space station, and then under the pull of several technicians, he got out of the fighter, immediately closed the hatch, undocked, and the fighter plane drifted into the infinite space.

There are only 55 seconds left until the fighter self-destructs. Once the countdown is over, the S0-102-A's self-destruct system will control the fuel pipeline to feed all helium-3 fuel into the two fusion reactors at once, which will produce a nuclear explosion equivalent to the power of 60 Tsar Bombas, and all aircraft within a radius of 20 kilometers will be vaporized instantly, and vehicles within a radius of 150 kilometers will be completely disabled. There was no time, and they had to flee immediately.

"Unleash the drone and push that damn fighter out of the way!"

Six drones flew out and crashed into various parts of the S0-102-A fighter. The engine turned on at full power, dragging out six dark red tail flames, pushing the fighter to accelerate into the distance.

"Increase the power of the reactor, raise the shielding magnetic field level to A6, stick to your post, I'll be there soon!"

Fehrman gave orders as he made his way to the command module. It's only 32 seconds before self-destruction, and the distance is still not enough.

"Turn on the lightsails." Fellman ordered.

What a confusing order!

The principle of the light sail is to use the impulse generated by the collision of sunlight photons with highly reflective gold foil to cause the spacecraft to produce acceleration in the same direction. Limited by the intensity of sunlight, this acceleration is usually very small, but it has the advantage of being sustained and does not consume any fuel, so it tends to accumulate a large terminal velocity on very long distances, which is extremely effective.

Now, in just a few tens of seconds, what can these thin light sails do, and can they be used to provide additional power?

Faced with the operator's hesitant eyes, Fellman yelled, "Execute the order!" If you want to live, don't doubt! ”

The sails the size of a football field on all sides slowly stretched out. With 17 seconds to go, the distance has only just opened 15 kilometers, and everyone is on the verge of despair, and at this progress, they will undoubtedly die in this cold space.

"Turn the cooling circuit to the maximum! Immediately, immediately! ”

As the coolant flow accelerated, a layer of frost formed on the back of the station, and the temperature inside the module plummeted to -12 degrees.

It's only 10 seconds.

"It's too late, get ready to ramble!"

Fellman counted silently in his heart, his heart was tense to the extreme, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second......

In the orbit of Jupiter, a second sun is ignited......

The intense ionizing radiation made all kinds of instruments in the space station buzz, the high-temperature thermal radiation baked the outer armor on the back of the space station dark red, and the light sails the size of the football field on all sides worked at this time, they reflected most of the high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the first few seconds of the nuclear explosion, and successfully protected the main part of the space station. Just 6 seconds after the explosion, these light sails were completely roasted, which can be regarded as dedicating themselves to the survival of everyone.

Ten seconds have passed, twenty seconds have passed, a minute has passed, and the power system of the space station is still normal, which is a miracle!

The crowd cheered, and their space station resisted the self-detonation of the S0-102-A fighter at an impossible distance.

Feuerman slumped against the bulkhead, gasping for air, and for the first time he was commanding an armed space station on his own. All along, because of his long-term involvement with Olympus, only Colonel Black and Wayne really trusted him. It was a great opportunity to gain the trust of the rest of the organization, and he jumped at it. Since then, everyone on the space station has begun to admire him.

"Reduce the power of the reactor and overhaul the equipment."

Fellman returned to his room, opened a bottle of brandy, and poured it into his mouth.

Just as everyone was about to let down their vigilance, a report came from the radar room:

"Enemy ships spotted in the direction of nine o'clock!"

It's the "North Atlantic"! Fairman recognized it at a glance as Director John's flagship. More than two months ago, Major Clausius had just blown up his Europa base, and he had come for revenge.
