One Thousand One Hundred and Forty-Eight Recover Southern Europe
The attack fleet immediately launched at full speed and chased the escaping alien fleet.
The soldiers who received the order screamed and geared up to beat the drowned dog.
Because the alien fleet was stronger than the assault fleet, the northern capital strictly ordered Gao Kai not to engage in battle with the enemy during this period. The fleet was extremely aggrieved from top to bottom. Now it's better. A sneak attack like a joke and the explosion More than forty enemy ships were captured, and less than ten remained. How could such a good opportunity be missed?
However, not all warships participated in the pursuit. Gao Kai only took away the battleships, and all the assault ships stayed behind to clean up the nuclear bombs that missed the target.
According to satellite monitoring data, less than one-third of the nuclear bombs hit the enemy ships, and the remaining nuclear bombs are still orbiting the earth in their original orbit.
Ordinary space junk left in orbit is a huge safety hazard, let alone an astonishingly powerful nuclear bomb?
If we don't seize the time to clear out the nuclear bomb, we might hit something when we turn around.
Clearing nuclear bombs is not that simple. The assault fleet is in a retrograde orbit. It is not that easy to change from a retrograde orbit to a forward orbit. It is not a matter of changing directions, but that it must slow down and then accelerate.
Even with a nuclear engine, it is not that easy to complete such an adjustment. Moreover, once the relative speed of the battleship is lower than the first cosmic speed, it will be pulled by the gravity of the earth. If the speed cannot be raised in time, the battleship may even be The Earth's gravity pulls into the atmosphere.
Gao Kai was not a novice. He had already considered this issue and did not bring the assault ship over at all. Instead, he stayed on the forward track and was on standby.
After receiving the order, the assault ship immediately changed its orbit to low orbit and simultaneously released the engineering boat on the ship.
These engineering boats are actually modified Swifts. They move along the edge of the nuclear bomb's track. After matching the speed of the nuclear bomb, they approach the nuclear bomb, grab the nuclear bomb with their robotic arms, and stow them into the cargo hold.
This is probably the first time in human history that a nuclear bomb launched during a battle has been recovered, setting a precedent for the recovery of nuclear bombs.
What was left in orbit was not only nuclear bombs, but also a large number of alien warship wreckage.
The alien battleship was blown to pieces by the nuclear bomb. Countless fragments, large and small, floated in the outer space. They were gradually captured by the earth's gravity at a slow speed. Sooner or later, they would fall into the atmosphere one day.
The fast ones are still moving along the retrograde orbit. Those large pieces of debris are easy to deal with and can be cleaned up no matter what. The troublesome thing is the scattered debris. Not to mention the large number, the distribution range is still wide. As time goes by, The distribution range of these debris will become wider and wider, directly threatening all prograde satellites in orbit.
Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the debris before it spreads over a large area, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
The fleet was also well prepared for this issue, first launching a batch of special missiles towards the wreckage orbit.
The warhead of this thing is filled with a special solution. After the warhead is opened, the solution immediately expands hundreds of times. In the blink of an eye, the volume expands hundreds of times and turns into "clouds" suspended in orbit.
This thing is a special aerogel, and some people call it solid smoke. Its earliest use was to collect comet fragments.
Comet fragments are smaller than grains of sand, but six times faster than bullets. In order to capture these tiny particles, aerogel was invented. This thing is like a baseball glove, which can catch various fragments flying at high speed. It is the latest Suitable for cleaning up space debris.
Airgel can be used for small fragments, but not for large pieces of alien battleship wreckage.
In order to clean up the wreckage of enemy ships, Beiyuezhou prepared a group of unmanned engineering boats. These engineering boats are also modified Swifts and equipped with high-power propellers. Their mission is to find large pieces of wreckage, attach to the wreckage, and push them away. away from the earth.
In order to prevent the resurgence of aliens in the wreckage, the military decided to throw the wreckage directly into Venus... There was no special reason for choosing Venus, it was just because the location of Venus was suitable.
There is also a view that aliens' ability to adapt to the environment far exceeds human imagination. Even if aliens are thrown into Venus, they will still be able to develop special creatures adapted to the Venusian environment.
He even relied on Venus to start over and eventually make a comeback.
However, this view has been refuted by most people. Where is Venus? It is a barren land full of acid rain. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a forbidden area for organic matter.
Although aliens are powerful, look at the targets they choose. Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are all celestial bodies with water.
To put it bluntly, no matter how you look at it, Mars is more suitable for colonization than the moons of Jupiter, but aliens have no idea of colonizing Mars at all. Why? Isn’t it because Mars is dry and lacks water?
Therefore, the possibility of aliens surviving on Venus is infinitely close to zero.
Aliens always keep an eye on the earth, isn't it because of the water source on the earth?
No one wants aliens to land on the earth. Countries have tried their best, but in the end they still failed to stop aliens.
Now, the last alien fleet has been defeated by the attack fleet, and the next task for mankind is to eliminate the landing aliens as much as possible...
Anyone knows that aliens are hiding underground, and eliminating aliens is a long and arduous process.
And the problem now is not how humans can get rid of aliens, but that aliens are driving swarms of insects to attack humans!
However, this problem became less of a problem after the alien fleet was expelled.
Later that day, the assault fleet pursuing the alien fleet was split into two, and the destroyers with high endurance and combat effectiveness continued the pursuit, and all the frigates returned.
The first mission of the frigate after returning was not to clean up space debris, but to cut into a low-altitude orbit, hover over Europe, and launch a large-scale air attack on the insect swarm occupying southern Europe. Any insect exposed on the ground, even just one, would be destroyed. will suffer a devastating blow from outer space.
In just half an hour, not a single giant insect could be seen in the entire Europe. Even ordinary giant insects that were not controlled by aliens were purged by the fleet.
Of course, only a very small number of bugs were eliminated by the fleet. Most of the bugs fled underground after the air raids began.
The people stranded in the occupied areas were originally in danger, but when they woke up, all the bugs disappeared.
"It's like a dream, I can't even believe my eyes!" said one survivor.
When the news came out, the whole world was boiling. Overnight, most of the haze hanging over Europe disappeared. The landing of aliens was no longer a lingering shadow. Many people who fled the occupied areas couldn't wait to pack their bags and prepare to return. home.
Governments of various countries have tried their best to dissuade them, indicating that the insect swarms are still hiding underground and there is still a risk of returning to occupied areas.
