835 The Aftermath of the War

The hatch blocked the view. There was war outside the door, and there was silence inside the door, like two different worlds.

Outside the cabin, a violent explosion tore the Swift 3 into pieces. The shock wave of the explosion swept the metal fragments in all directions. All the aliens within 20 meters were knocked over by the shock wave, and their bodies were full of dense metal fragments. Aliens within 70 meters were hit by at least one metal fragment, and even more than 100 meters away had unlucky aliens hit.

From the beginning of the interception to Liu Bin detonating the explosives, the thin defense line only lasted a few minutes, but it was these inconspicuous minutes that gave the troops the opportunity to withdraw to the Yushan!

In the cabin, Ye Han sat on the ground, staring blankly at the hatch. He was unwilling, he regretted, he blamed himself, as if he had overturned a five-flavor bottle and couldn't tell what it felt like.

What he couldn't let go of the most was that he personally left all the civil servants on Jupiter Zero... Although this was a joint decision of all the wounded, and although he knew it was the best choice, soldiers were not made of wood or stone. They also had their own feelings and ideas. Knowing it in their hearts did not mean that they could accept the result.

The hatch was closed, and two soldiers quickly turned the dial to lock the hatch. Lin Yi, sweating profusely, shouted hoarsely: "Sit tight, take off--"

Before he finished speaking, a ball of flame suddenly burst out from the bottom of the shining brilliance that stood high. The rising flame turned into a gushing tail flame in the blink of an eye, and the rocket slowly rose from the launch pad.

The flame burned the ice surface, and the solidified ice surface quickly melted and boiled, and finally turned into steam that spread in all directions.

The soldiers quickly found seats and sat down, fastened their seat belts at the first time, and those who really didn't have time to sit down simply lay on the ground.

A few seconds later, everyone felt a clear push on their backs, and the force became stronger and clearer.

As the rocket ignited and took off, the landing stage fired all the remaining smoke bombs, forming a circle of smoke around the rocket.

Although the thrown cigarette butt bomb flew nearly a hundred meters, the gushing airflow still inevitably blew away the smoke screen.

Seeing that the rocket was about to take off, the aliens who broke through the defense line didn't care about anything and rushed towards the rocket. All the aliens, regardless of distance, all put all their strength into firing silk light at the rocket.

The silk light fired from a close distance was weakened by the smoke screen, and the silk light fired from a distance had limited power. At most, it would leave some scratches on the surface of the rocket, and it could not prevent the rocket from taking off.

At this time, the aliens who rushed to the front stepped into the detection range of the 1020 rapid-fire cannon. The two rapid-fire cannons on the landing stage immediately opened fire, and dense bullets penetrated the smoke screen and broke through the smoke screen, hitting the charging aliens head-on.

The 20mm shells were accurate and efficient. The aliens who rushed to the front were hit by the shells one after another. As long as they were touched by the fatal shells, they would be seriously injured if they didn't die.

The aliens' front line was hit back hard by the shells.

More and more aliens rushed to the rocket, and the rapid-fire cannon soon changed from intermittent firing to full-strength firing. The flying shells were like two long whips of fire, fiercely slashing at the aliens.

However, the aliens didn't care about casualties at all, and all their attention was on the rocket.

The rapid-fire guns finally ran out of ammunition, and the front line suppressed by the rain of bullets immediately rushed forward a long distance, but dozens of lasers from the orbital cabin arrived in an instant, and the beams rotated rapidly around the rocket, beheading all the aliens who tried to approach.

This is not over yet, the ship guns on the orbital section also began to fire, and more than a dozen ship guns fired revenge shells at a rate of one per second. Every shell explosion could clear half a football field.

In addition, there were several heavy missiles, and wherever the cluster warheads were, there was a scorched earth.

The smoke bomb was still spewing smoke. As the rocket flew higher and higher, the airflow brought by the tail flame finally stopped affecting the smoke, and barely formed a circle of circular smoke walls.

The aliens rushed into the smoke screen and drilled out from the other side, then flapped their wings and flew high, chasing the rocket that was rising higher and higher.

The aliens outside the smoke screen also took off one after another, trying to catch up with the rocket in the air, but their speed was too slow and they couldn't catch up with the rocket that took off. The only thing they could do was to shoot silk light at the rocket.

At this time, the rocket had not yet flown out of the effective range of the silk light. If it was hit by a large amount of silk light, the consequences would be unpredictable!

At this critical moment, the landing segment left on the ground suddenly exploded - it was the explosion of the self-destruct device of the landing segment. Although it was only a kiloton nuclear bomb, a nuclear explosion was a nuclear explosion. All aliens within a radius of 200 meters were killed on the spot. The injuries between 200 and 700 meters decreased according to the distance. The fragments produced by the explosion flew as far as six or seven kilometers.

The aliens' pursuit was completely bankrupt. The rocket flew faster and faster, and the pressure on the soldiers in the spacecraft became greater and greater. Everyone felt like a mountain was pressing on them.

As the altitude increased, the blue sky became darker and darker, gradually turning into dark blue.

Eighty-three seconds after ignition, the first-stage rocket separated successfully;

One hundred and thirty-four seconds, the fairing separated.

One hundred and seventy-two seconds, the second-stage rocket separated.

More than three minutes passed in a flash. After the spacecraft successfully left the atmosphere and entered the low-altitude orbit, the spacecraft changed its orbit under the push of the thrusters and moved closer to the orbit-retaining segment.

The pressure on everyone was dissipated at the same time, and the soldiers lying on the ground gradually floated up. Ye Han floated into the air with a little effort, turned around and reached out to grab the edge of the navigation window, leaned over the window and looked down.

Half of the white Jupiter was exposed in the sun, and the other half was hidden in the darkness. On the snow-white ice field, the scorch marks left by the nuclear explosion were clearly visible.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Nanzhou, Yushan successfully separated and are docking, please give instructions!"

"Yushan, the alien fleet is approaching, dock as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible."

"Yushan received!"

Lin Yi shouted loudly while operating the spacecraft: "Commander, commander?"

Ye Han retracted his gaze: "What's the matter?"

"The alien fleet will arrive soon, docking will take too much time, I suggest abandoning the spacecraft and flying directly into the Yushan!"

Ye Han turned around suddenly: "Check the thrusters!"

Thrusters and flight bags are two different things. The former is standard equipment used in a weightless state and must be carried at all times. It cannot be abandoned at will without a legitimate reason; while the latter is temporary equipment for flying, and few people carry that thing all the time.

The inspection results were quickly reported to Ye Han. Only two people reported thruster failures. Ye Han immediately arranged for someone to take them with them. It only took more than ten seconds for all the marines to prepare to evacuate the spacecraft.

Lin Yi maneuvered the spaceship closer to the Yushan, and the speeds of the two gradually became synchronized, until Lin Yi shouted "OK", Ye Han pulled open the hatch, and the air in the spaceship immediately dissipated from the hatch. The sound in the spaceship quickly weakened as the air dissipated, and soon it became silent, and the only sound was his own breathing.
