822 SOS
The special design gives the landing craft more uses, and can provide the landing troops with necessary means of transportation. This is also one of the advantages of landing craft airborne. If you use an airdrop capsule instead, you must walk no matter where you go after landing.
After the modification was completed, Ye Han waved his hand and everyone boarded the plane quickly. Restart the landing craft... No, now it's a rotorcraft. The propeller hanging on the wing tip rotates rapidly, and the plane is lifted up like a helicopter. After reaching a certain height, the rotor is flattened and flies to the target like an ordinary propeller plane.
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 the destination after taking off.
The landing position of Liu Bin was not far from the ice hole. It flew to the vicinity of the target in a short while. The three rotorcraft each chose a suitable location to land. The soldiers immediately started to act, but when they arrived at the end of the field, they found that the water surface that was turbulent not long ago had frozen again!
The soldiers looked at each other in surprise.
The flying Jupiter moon has long stopped rotating. The hemisphere facing the sun is always facing the sun, which is called the day hemisphere, and the hemisphere that is always in darkness is called the night hemisphere.
At present, Jupiter moon is still in the asteroid belt, which is too far away from the sun. The light received by the day hemisphere is far from that of the earth, and the highest temperature is just above zero degrees.
Not to mention the night hemisphere, the lowest temperature is below minus 100 degrees Celsius!
This is because Jupiter moon has a good atmosphere, and the convection of air has always balanced the temperature of the day and night hemispheres, otherwise the temperature of the night hemisphere would be even lower.
The problem is that it freezes too fast!
Liu Bin saw a piece of broken ice the size of a sand bowl at his feet, squatted down and wanted to pick up the broken ice, but the broken ice had already frozen to the ground. He only used a little strength and couldn't pick it up!
"Evil nature!" Liu Bin was angry on the spot. With a sudden force, the broken ice fell into Liu Bin's hand with a crisp sound, as if Liu Bin was not twisting an ice cube, but a piece of steel bar!
He knew that the lower the temperature, the stronger the ice, but he never thought that it would be so difficult to twist off a piece of broken ice.
Liu Bin weighed the ice cube casually, swung his arm, and smashed the broken ice onto the frozen ice surface, and it bounced up high with a bang.
Liu Bin was sore when he heard the noise, and turned back and shouted: "Bring a laser gun!"
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 layer, and then ordered others to move the equipment on the plane down,
The operation was finally on track.
Liu Bin was only calm on the surface, and he was always worried that the hiding aliens would rush out again. At that time, hundreds of warships would fly into the sky, and the only choice of the Third Fleet would be to retreat, and the hundred people on the ground would be finished.
So he made up his mind that after the ice hole was dug, the first thing to do was to drop the nuclear bomb.
While Liu Bin was full of entanglement, Ye Han was still on the way to the target.
The rotorcraft is not a real fixed-wing aircraft, and the flying speed is not ideal. It will take some time to reach the predetermined coordinates.
Ye Han, who was flying the plane, suddenly heard the voice of the flagship: "The command center called Swift One, please answer if you receive it!"
"Swift One received it, please speak!"
"Swift One, the target has changed, please receive the new coordinates immediately."
"What happened?" Ye Han frowned slightly. What is the situation of temporarily changing the target?
Ye Han immediately received a high-altitude bird's-eye view from the flagship. The ice hole left by the planetary engine can be seen in the photo. It is obviously a new photo taken not long ago.
"Do you see the red dot in the photo?"
"I see it." Ye Han said.
"Enlarge it to the maximum."
Ye Han did as he was told. As he enlarged it again and again, the ground became clearer and clearer. He stopped until the photo began to blur and blurted out in astonishment: "SOS?"
On the ice, there were several blurred and distorted English letters.
Ye Han was in a bad mood: "What's going on?"
"We don't know either, Swift One, this is your new mission."
"Swift One understands." Ye Han gestured to the co-pilot, took over the plane and immediately changed direction, flying to the mission coordinates at the fastest speed.
Ye Han's first reaction when he saw the letters was that someone was in trouble, but then he thought it was wrong. This was not a place on Earth, but Jupiter's moon Zero where aliens were entrenched. How could there be humans in this ghost place?
Or the aliens knew the meaning of SOS and copied these few letters to lure the Marines into the trap... This was not right either. How did the aliens know that the Marines were going to parachute?
"Swift One calling Nanzhou!"
"Swift One, go ahead."
"Can you help me check the missing records... I mean, all the human aircraft that crashed on Jupiter from the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force to the present."
"Checking, keep the line, I'll let you know when there's a result."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Ye Han received a reply: "Swift One, starting from the First Fleet, a total of seven warships crashed on Jupiter, including the Shuwan and Penglai, and the other five were ramming ships of the International Fleet. There are no records of personnel, but..."
"But what?"
"After the Shuwan exploded, the Tiangong received a laser signal from Jupiter, which was about traitors and prisoners."
"Traitor?" Ye Han repeated subconsciously, but he had 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 say you are a traitor?
