822 SOS

The special design gives the landing craft more uses and can provide the necessary transportation tools for the landing troops. This is also one of the advantages of airborne landing craft. If the airborne capsule is used instead, no matter where you go after landing, you must walk on your legs.

After the modification was completed, Ye Han waved his hand and everyone quickly boarded the plane. Restart the landing craft... No, it's a rotorcraft now. The propellers hanging on the wingtips spin quickly, lifting the aircraft upwards like a helicopter. After reaching a certain height, the rotors flatten and fly to the target like an ordinary propeller aircraft. .

At the same time as the No. 1 aircraft set off, the landing craft led by Liu Bin also completed the modification and flew directly to its destination after taking off.

Liu Bin landed not far from the ice cave, and soon he flew near the target. The three rotorcraft each chose a suitable location to land. The soldiers immediately began to take action, but when they arrived at the end of the field, they discovered that the waves were rough not long ago. The water has refrozen!

The soldiers couldn't help but look at each other.

Jupiter in flight has stopped rotating long ago. The hemisphere facing the sun is called the day hemisphere, and the hemisphere that has been in darkness is called the night hemisphere.

Currently, Europa is still within the asteroid belt and is really far away from the sun. The daylight hemisphere receives far less light than the Earth, and the maximum temperature is just over zero degrees.

Not to mention the night hemisphere, the lowest temperature is below minus 100 degrees Celsius!

This is because Europa has a good atmosphere. The convection of the air has always balanced the temperatures in the day and night hemispheres. Otherwise, the temperature in the night hemisphere would have been lower.

The problem is that it freezes too quickly!

Liu Bin saw a piece of broken ice the size of a sand bowl at his feet. He squatted down and wanted to pick it up, but the broken ice was already frozen on the ground. He only used a little strength and failed to pick it up!

"Evil!" Liu Bin got angry on the spot, and with a fierce force, the broken ice fell into Liu Bin's hand with a crunching sound, as if what Liu Bin was twisting was not an ice cube, but a piece of steel!

He knew that the lower the temperature, the stronger the ice, but he never imagined that it would be so difficult to break a piece of broken ice.

Weighing the ice cubes casually, Liu Bin rounded his arms and smashed the broken ice hard onto the newly frozen ice. As a result, Lao Gao bounced off the ice with a bang.

When Liu Bin heard this, his teeth became sour and he turned around and shouted: "Bring a laser gun over here!"

Several soldiers stood up together. Liu Bin drew a circle on the ice with his index finger and told the soldiers to cut the ice. Then he ordered others to move the equipment from the plane. The operation was finally on track.

Liu Bin was calm on the surface, but he was always worried that the hiding aliens would come out again. At that time, hundreds of warships would fly into the sky, and the only option for the Third Fleet would be to retreat. At that time, the hundred or so people on the ground would be finished. .

So he made up his mind that when the hole in the ice was dug, the first thing he would do was to drop the nuclear bomb.

While Liu Bin was full of confusion, Ye Han was still flying towards his goal.

The gyroplane is not a true fixed-wing aircraft, its flying speed is not ideal, and it takes a while to reach the scheduled coordinates.

Ye Han, who was flying the plane, suddenly received a voice from the flagship: "The headquarters is calling Swift No. 1. Please answer when you receive it!"

"Yuyan received it on the 1st, please speak!"

"Swift 1, the target has changed, please receive the new coordinates immediately."

"What happened?" Ye Han frowned slightly, what would happen if the target was temporarily changed?

Ye Han immediately received a high-altitude bird's-eye view from the flagship. The ice hole left by the planetary engine could be seen in the photo. It was obviously a new photo taken not long ago.

"See the red dot in the photo?"

"I saw it." Ye Han said.

"Put it to the maximum."

Ye Han did as he was told. As he zoomed in again and again, the ground became clearer and clearer. He didn't stop until the photo started to blur and blurted out in shock: "SOS?"

On the ice, there are several blurry and distorted English letters.

Ye Han felt bad: "What's going on?"

"We don't know, Swift 1, this is your new mission.

"

"Yuyan No. 1 understands." Ye Han gestured to the co-pilot. After taking over the plane, he immediately changed direction and flew to the mission coordinates as quickly as possible.

Ye Han's first reaction when he saw the letters was that someone was in trouble, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. This was not a place on the earth, but Jupiter, where aliens were inhabited. How could there be humans in this ghost place?

Otherwise, the aliens knew the meaning of SOS and wrote these letters to lure the Marines into taking the bait... This is also wrong. How did the aliens know that the Marines were going to airborne?

"Swift No. 1 calls Nanzhou!"

"Swiss One, please speak."

"Can you help me check the missing records...I mean, from the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force to the present, all human aircraft that crashed on Europa."

"It's being checked. Keep the line open. I'll let you know when there are results."

"good."

A few minutes later, Ye Han received a reply: "Swiss 1, starting from the First Fleet, a total of seven warships crashed into Europa, including the Summer Bay and the Penglai, and the remaining five were all impact ships of the international fleet. , there is no personnel record, but..."

"but what?"

"After the explosion of the Summer Bay, the Tiangong once received a laser signal from Europa, which contained traitors and prisoners."

"Traitor?" Ye Han repeated subconsciously, but there was no impression in his mind, "What do you mean?"

Ye Han didn't know that he was an eyewitness to the incident, but he had been injected with hibernation hormone at that time, and he didn't know that the landing craft had photographed Jupiter.

"I don't know, the signal only has these two words."

"How long after the explosion?"

"I don't know either, the time is not mentioned in the file, the interval should not be very long.

The intelligence we have is very limited, Swift One, be careful!"

"Swift One understands, Nanzhou, is there any firepower point near the target?" Ye Han suddenly felt that the SOS was very likely to be a trap, at least it was a trap in the past.

"No!"

This answer was beyond Ye Han's expectation. There was not even an obvious firepower point. It was not a trick of playing hard to get, right?

Ye Han thought for a moment and said, "Give me the detailed terrain near the target point."

"I'll be there soon. Is there anything else you need?"

"Nothing for now... I may need air support."

"Weizhou will support you."

"Received."

After the communication ended, Ye Han felt even more depressed. His mind was full of SOS. He couldn't figure out what was behind these three letters.

I hope there is no traitor... The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Not just anyone can join the expeditionary force. If you want to join the expeditionary force, political qualification is a hard standard. Even if you fall into the hands of aliens, you will be a prisoner. How can you be called a traitor?
