835 The Aftermath of the War

No matter how much reluctance Ye Han had, he could only bury it deep in his heart. What made him even more unable to let go was that he personally left all the wounded on Jupiter Zero.

Although he also knew that doing so was the best choice, knowing or not knowing was one thing, and whether he could let it go in his heart was another.

That door blocked far more than just sight.

Swift 3 was completely shattered in the explosion, and the wounded defense line only lasted a few minutes before being breached by aliens. Countless aliens rushed to Yushan like a tide.

Lin Yi was in a cold sweat. As soon as the hatch was closed, he immediately started the rocket: "Everyone sit down, take off!" There was no time to find a seat, and everyone lay on the ground at the first time.

A ball of fire suddenly exploded at the bottom of the high-standing rocket, and the flames immediately turned into a gushing flame stream. The flames burned the ice surface, and the solidified ice surface quickly melted and boiled, and finally turned into steam that spread in all directions.

At the same time, Yushan fired all the remaining smoke bombs, and the smoke and water mist mixed together and were blown away by the airflow brought by the flames.

The aliens who broke through the defense line rushed towards the rocket with all their strength. The two rapid-fire cannons on the landing stage fired at full force. The dense bullets were like two long whips of fire, splitting the fog and sweeping towards the aliens. The large-caliber bullets flew towards the aliens with deadly kinetic energy. If they were hit by the bullets, they would be seriously injured if not killed.

However, the aliens didn't care and focused on dealing with the rocket. Countless silk lights hit the rocket, but the power of the silk lights was weakened by the smoke screen and could not hurt the rocket at all.

The rocket finally broke away from the launch pad under the push of the tail flame and slowly rose up. The higher it flew, the faster it flew. At this time, the aliens had already rushed into the smoke screen.

The smoke bomb was still releasing thick smoke, but the strong airflow during takeoff blew away the smoke screen. The aliens raised their arms and prepared to shoot at the rocket.

At this critical moment, dozens of lasers from the orbital cabin fell from the sky and swept away the aliens near the rocket.

A little further away, countless shells fell from the sky, and layers of barrages plowed a death channel among the aliens. After a while, several missiles fell from the sky, and wherever the cluster warheads fell, there was a scorched earth.

The rocket took off into the sky, and there were countless explosions below. Some persistent aliens flapped their wings and flew high, chasing the rocket that was flying higher and higher, but their speed was too slow, and they were destined to return empty-handed.

The soldiers in the spacecraft were subjected to increasing acceleration, and everyone seemed to be under a mountain.

The rocket flew higher and higher,

Lin Yi shouted under pressure: "Nanzhou, Yushan has left the ground and will reach low-altitude orbit in two minutes!"

"Nanzhou understands, leave as soon as possible after docking."

"Understood!"

Although the rocket was still in the ascending stage and the soldiers were still under great pressure, everyone was much more relaxed.

The first stage of the rocket separated successfully, and the second stage ignited smoothly. Two minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the spacecraft successfully left the atmosphere and entered the weightless outer space.

It took only two minutes for the spacecraft to take off, but it took five minutes to dock with the orbiting segment. After entering the Yushan, Lin Yi rushed to the bridge as soon as possible and manipulated the spacecraft to leave Jupiter.

Ye Han and the soldiers who escaped by chance lay on the porthole, staring at Jupiter with extremely complicated eyes, watching it getting farther and farther away.

At this time, the Third Fleet also gradually withdrew from the battle and got rid of the entanglement of the alien fleet.

The two sides did not fight for a long time, but the enemy was strong and we were weak. The Third Fleet, which had only a dozen warships, lost five warships, and the rest were injured, and the ammunition was consumed, leaving only 20% of the combat effectiveness.

When the carrier-based aircraft withdrew from the battle, there were only a dozen left. Even if all the aircraft left near the Yushan were counted, the aviation force on the Nanzhou was completely crippled.

After getting rid of the aliens, Ling Yu was stunned for a long time. His only feeling was that it was not worth it, and he felt that it was not worth it for the efforts of this battle.

Although the battle was over, there was still a lot of follow-up work to do. The leaders, including Ling Yu, were racking their brains for various post-war reports and summaries. No matter how you look at it, this battle had nothing to do with victory. If the aliens had not gone back underground, the report of the Third Fleet would have been even uglier.

At this point in the battle, the Third Fleet no longer had the ability to continue its mission. Ling Yu immediately reported the situation to Beidu, requesting to return on the one hand, and notifying Beidu to form the Third Fleet on the other hand.

Yushan moved away from Jupiter's moon, and after keeping a safe distance, it turned around and joined the main force.

This was not the end. Ye Han immediately communicated with Nanzhou and requested the fleet to bomb the ice field, on the grounds that it would rather destroy the remains of the martyrs left on Jupiter's moon than let the remains fall into the hands of aliens.

Ling Yu only considered it for three seconds before agreeing to Ye Han's request, so the fleet launched four nuclear bombs at the location of Swift III.

The aliens had no interest in intercepting it, and let the nuclear bomb fall on the ice. Everything related to humans was reduced to ashes in the nuclear explosion.

There were also those nuclear bombs placed under the ice. Although these nuclear bombs were waterproofed, the detonation device of the nuclear bomb must rely on batteries, and the discharge time of the battery is limited. It must be detonated before the battery stops working.

According to the environment of Jupiter's moon, the battery on the nuclear bomb can only last seven to ten days.

Ling Yu was once again entangled.

If the aliens raise the planetary engine, then the nuclear bomb under the ice layer is very likely to blow up the planetary engine. On the contrary, even if the nuclear bomb is detonated, the possibility of destroying the planetary engine is very small.

At present, all the aliens are hiding underground, and even the alien spacecraft has not appeared. The possibility of raising the planetary engine again is almost zero.

However, neither Ling Yu nor Beidu wanted the Marines to sacrifice in vain, so Beidu ordered the Third Fleet to stay near Jupiter's zero moon. If there is no chance after seven days, then detonate the nuclear bomb and return, and hand over the next work to the Fourth Fleet.

Neither Ling Yu nor Ye Han knew how much shock the failure of the Third Fleet caused. Beidu conducted dozens of battle situation analyses alone, breaking the entire battle process apart and then crushing it, studying the battle records almost frame by frame, and carefully studying the gains and losses of this battle.

The Fourth Fleet is also in intensive preparation, but the departure time cannot be determined for the time being, but Beidu's opinion is to set off as soon as possible, and the mission of the expeditionary fleet this time is not to attack by force, but to stay near Jupiter's zero moon and wait for an opportunity to act!

The current speed of Jupiter is very fast, with a relative speed of nearly 80 kilometers per second, more than twice the speed of the Earth's revolution. This speed is too fast, Jupiter must slow down before reaching the Earth, otherwise it will definitely pass by the Earth.

The mission of the Fourth Fleet is to wait for the planetary engine to rise again.
