One Thousand and Eighty-Four Intercepted at the Waist
( ) Ye Han left the Beihai, and immediately the entire fleet became busy under the command of Duan Zhiyang.
The Beihai docked with three supply ships respectively. The soldiers came and went in the temporarily established supply channels and received a large amount of supplies from the supply ships.
The first thing to be handed over was a large number of nuclear weapons, including nuclear missiles, nuclear artillery shells, and nuclear mines. The weapons depot that was mostly empty on the Beihai was so full that some conventional ammunition had to be moved out before all the nuclear weapons could be placed.
The next focus is on various consumables, including engine fuel, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, sodium peroxide tablets, a large amount of space food, drinking water, and various consumable spare parts.
Duan Zhiyang took the list of supplies and checked them one by one in person. After all the supplies were transferred, the aisles of the Beihai and the frigate Qinghe were filled with various supplies, leaving only a narrow passage for passage.
This is nothing. The most egregious thing is that in order to arrange supplies, Duan Zhiyang ordered all the officers and soldiers on the ship to vacate their dormitories. For this reason, one-third of the fleet had to be injected with hibernating hormone, and the others simply moved their sleeping bags to their work stations. .
Many people involved mentioned this incident in their memoirs in their later years, claiming with emotion that the most spacious places on the ship at that time were toilets and bathrooms.
Even so, Duan Zhiyang failed to clear any supply ship.
The first task is for the Beihai fleet to break away from the fleet after completing its replenishment and gradually change its orbit to a lower orbit.
Although the warships were not overloaded, Ye Han felt that the flight movements of the two warships were much slower than usual.
The transferred supplies came from three supply ships. After the Beihai fleet left, Ye Han organized people to clean up the supply ships and dispersed the remaining supplies on the Dongzhou to the Xizhou and Beizhou.
In this way, the Dongzhou was cleared, the Xizhou and Beizhou left the fleet to pursue the Nanhai fleet, and the other warships officially embarked on their return journey.
As soon as the fleet set off, Ye Han led the entire airborne division to station on Dongzhou, turning Dongzhou into the base camp of the airborne division.
Don't think that the large size of the supply ship means poor maneuverability. When fully loaded, the tonnage of this thing is amazing. How can it follow the fleet without super power?
Ever since, after being cleared, the Dongzhou was not only the fastest spaceship in the fleet, but also the spaceship with the largest space. If it moved forward at full speed, it could rush back to Beiyuezhou more than a month in advance. If Ye Han didn't take it, which ship would he take?
In this way, shortly after the fleet set sail, Dongzhou abandoned the large force and
Yiqi Juechen returned at full speed.
At the same time, the North Sea Fleet was still slowly but surely advancing towards Jupiter.
On June 2, 2030, the North Sea Fleet merged with the USS Wharton and the USS Alesia from the multinational fleet.
Two days later, four warships from both fleets arrived near Callisto.
Its orbital altitude is only 129,000 kilometers, less than one-third of the distance between the Earth and the Moon. It is close to the main ring of Jupiter, with empty space on one side and dense dust on the other side. The fleet After flying here, it feels like flying into a thin layer of mist, and the vision is like being shrouded in a hazy veil.
This is because there are two layers of gossamer halos outside the main ring of Jupiter. Europa is actually located inside Jupiter's halo. However, these two layers of halo are too thin and are composed of micron-level dust, so they do not affect the navigation of battleships. enter.
If there were small celestial bodies with a diameter of several meters like the rings of Saturn everywhere, just an impact could destroy these warships. Even if they risked their lives, they would not be able to get close to Xiao Fifteen.
The fleet immediately slowed down after entering the halo until it reached the vicinity of Jupiter.
The four warships arrived at their respective locations as planned. Captain George of the Wharton contacted Duan Zhiyang in advance: "Duan, my warship and I have been ready for a long time. Let's get started."
The multinational fleet sent him here because his Chinese was the best among all the captains.
The flesh on Duan Zhiyang's face twitched in a very subtle way, he rubbed his hands and said, "That's what I meant. I've had enough of this cowardice. I must be simple and rough today!"
"Yes, that's what I mean." George nodded sharply.
"Start!" Duan Zhiyang's voice was not loud, but he felt that his voice was more shocking than ever before, because it would be the strongest sound that cannot be ignored in the movement of human beings against aliens.
After a brief silence, the North Sea fired a nuclear shell at Jupiter. Everyone watched it silently until it hit Jupiter, emitting a blinding flash.
"The explosion yield was 1,200 tons and the crater was 120 meters deep!"
Duan Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Implement as planned!"
After hearing these words, George also issued a combat order. Four warships fired at the waist of Callisto from different positions at the same time. Nuclear bombs of various yields exploded in a series of dazzling bright lights on the waist of Callisto. The light illuminated the surrounding dust, like a brilliant belt surrounding the satellite. Countless fragments flew away from Jupiter in the explosion, causing a mess in the vicinity.
There is no other way. Xiao Fifteen's mass is too high. Directly bombard it with super nuclear bombs. In theory, it can only move the satellite 166 centimeters. All the nuclear bombs in the fleet will be used up. This great god cannot move a few steps and fly at this speed. It will take more than twenty years to reach Ganymede, so the first step in the plan is to intercept Ganymede in the middle.
The thinnest part of Xiao Fifteen was only fourteen kilometers. Hundreds of nuclear bombs were hit one after another, and Xiao Fifteen finally succeeded in losing weight and turned into an oversized dumbbell with two ends heavy and thin in the middle.
The fleet spent the next few days using lasers to dig a hole in the only four kilometers of Xiao Shifeng's body. After sending two super nuclear bombs into the bottom of the hole, they sealed the hole.
Then there was a long wait. From time to time, the battleship fired a nuclear bomb with a yield of only twelve tons at both ends of Xiao Shiwu to help it adjust its posture so that it would not be in the wrong posture when the opportunity came!
As the saying goes, a single move affects the whole body. It is not just a matter of explosion. Not only its own mass and direction must be considered, but also the positional relationship between the fifth and third parties.
The fleet flew with Xiao Fifteen for more than four hours, circling most of a circle around Jupiter. The relative positions of the two satellites and Xiao Fifteen's posture finally met the plan requirements at the same time.
"Detonate!" Duan Zhiyang detonated the nuclear bomb with his own hands. The two nuclear bombs buried in the waist of Jupiter 15 exploded at the same time, and the dumbbells that were connected just now parted ways in an instant.
There was no cheering or celebration, everyone immediately fell into intense calculations.
"The explosion yield is 300 million tons, and the energy utilization rate is 94%."
"Target No. 1 has a mass of 700 billion tons, an outward movement angle of 44, and an outward movement speed of 63 meters per second!"
All the data was in the plan, Duan Zhiyang couldn't help but let out a long breath: "Continue!"
