One Thousand and Eighty-Five Shift, Shift!

The fleet immediately followed, and after the exploded dumbbell was completely separated, the Beihai slowly approached and dropped another super nuclear bomb at the appropriate position and angle.

After the explosion, the bridge officer immediately reported: "The mass loss of target No. 1 is 3 million tons, the nuclear explosion energy utilization rate is about 52%, the speed is increased by 46.8 meters, and the relative speed of target No. 1 is 109.8 meters"

More than 100 meters per second? This speed is not bad!

Duan Zhiyang touched his chin with satisfaction: "Captain George, the rest is up to you."

"No problem, watch me!" George was full of confidence and ordered the Walton to move forward. After recalculating the impact point according to the direction and speed of target No. 1, he decisively opened fire. .

The nuclear bomb hit, and the combat staff reported the relevant data again.

In this way, the Walton planted a super nuclear bomb on the target every once in a while, like a coachman driving 700 billion tons of satellite debris in the void.

After the last super nuclear bomb hit the target, the combat staff immediately shouted: "Report, the satellite fragments are moving outward at a speed of 277.2 meters per second, and the direction is deviated by 0.4 degrees."

"0.4 degrees? Not bad, not bad." Duan Zhiyang finally put down a big stone in his heart, contacted George to discuss for a while, and decided on a deviation plan. After receiving the bombing data, the Alesia, which was located inside the fragments, immediately launched a low-yield nuclear bomb at the fragments.

Although the deviation angle is only 0.4, after flying over a distance of nearly one million kilometers, the deviation distance of the satellite fragments exceeds 6,500 kilometers.

The radius of Ganymede is only 2,631 kilometers. It would be strange if it didn't miss the target with such a large deviation.

"Direction correction 0.06!"

The Alesia fired continuously until the 0.4 degree deviation was reversed.

After the last correction, Duan Zhiyang immediately asked: "Fragment speed."

"276.4 meters per second!"

"Expected contact time?"

"39 days, 8 hours, 41 minutes and 08 seconds."

Duan Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Okay, those on duty stay, and everyone else can go to rest."

The fleet's next task is to keep following the satellite fragments. The team monitors the direction and speed of the fragments and corrects any abnormalities immediately.

Don't think that everything will be fine once the satellite fragments are on the road. This thing is moving away from Jupiter. Jupiter's strong gravity will definitely affect the flight of the fragments. There are many celestial bodies nearby and the situation is complicated. Maybe it will deviate from the direction for some reason halfway.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the fleet followed the fragments, circling Jupiter again and again, and the time for one circle became longer and longer as the fragments moved outward.

Everyone's attention was focused on the smaller satellite fragment. The larger satellite fragment slowly flew into the ring of Jupiter after the explosion.

Fragment No. 2 flew faster and faster, and it penetrated the ring of Jupiter in a few days, and finally fell into Jupiter eleven days later.

The task of escorting fragment No. 1 is still continuing. As the fragment gets closer and closer to Ganymede, it gradually enters the gravitational range of Ganymede.

In order to accurately cut into the designated orbit, the closer the fragment is to Ganymede, the slower the speed of its outward movement. Every time the two get close, Ganymede's gravity is like a pair of powerful arms, holding the fragment tightly.

The result is that every time the two meet, the speed of the fragment will be affected by Xiaosan, as if it knows the purpose of the fragment and tries every means to reduce the power of the impact.

But the problem is not big, because when the fragment approaches, it will accelerate due to the attraction of gravity, and when it leaves, the increased speed will be reduced. Between the addition and subtraction, the speed of the fragment basically does not change.

The problem that attracted the attention of the entire fleet is the orbital deviation of the fragment!

On July 12, the fragment, like a naughty child, once again attached itself to Ganymede from the side and rear.

Since the fragment approached the orbit of Xiao San, this situation has occurred every two days or so - the speed of the fragment is much faster than Xiao San, and the time it takes for Xiao San to orbit Jupiter once is enough for the fragment to orbit three times.

The soldiers vividly described the relationship between the fragment and Xiao San as a race between the tortoise and the hare,

the heavy Xiao San persevered, and the light fragment surpassed Xiao San every once in a while.

For the fleet, every encounter between the two was a painful torture, but this time was different from the past. The closest distance between the two was only a little over 3,000 kilometers, and the influence of gravity on the fragment was unprecedentedly strong.

There was a solemnity in the Beihai, and even the air was about to condense.

A voice suddenly broke the silence: "It's started, the target has entered the danger zone!"

"The fragment's orbit is shifting towards Ganymede, and the speed is increasing!"

"Is there any impact?" Duan Zhiyang's face was full of worry.

"It's still under control... the shift is intensifying, repeat, the shift is intensifying!"

"What's the situation, do you need to intervene?" Duan Zhiyang yelled.

The orbit will not affect the debris passing through Xiao San, but after another rotation, the debris should just cut into Ganymede's orbit and hit Ganymede from the back.

If the orbit continues to deviate outward, the debris will drift outward significantly after cutting into Xiao San's orbit, and finally pass Xiao San by.

The entire fleet has worked hard for more than a month, how can it fail at this time?

"It is recommended to intervene immediately, position 35 degrees right rear, quantity four!"

Duan Zhiyang immediately gave the order to the warship with the most suitable position: "Qinghe, did you receive it?"

"Qinghe received it!"

As soon as the voice fell, Qinghe had already fired four nuclear shells at the designated location, and four nuclear explosions with an equivalent of 1,200 tons appeared on the fragments.

The light of the nuclear explosion had just dissipated, and Duan Zhiyang couldn't wait: "How is it?"

"Two more!"

"Another..."

Two more nuclear shells were fired, and the war finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be OK, there are still seven minutes before the reunion!"

Duan Zhiyang shouted loudly: "Pay attention to me, now is the most critical time, keep an eye on me, and be ready to intervene at any time!"

Every time they encounter, the fragments will fly within the gravitational range of Xiaosan for an hour, but only the fifteen minutes closest to Xiaosan will be more obviously affected. As long as they survive this period, the next encounter between the fragments and Xiaosan will be the time to completely end Ganymede!

At this moment, Duan Zhiyang has only one idea, that is, no matter what, the fragments must be safely freed from the shackles of Ganymede.

Success or failure depends on this one move!

The four consecutive nuclear bombs not only corrected the deviation, but also corrected the deviation caused by the continued approach to Xiao San in advance. However, this time the situation was much more serious than expected. Just two minutes later, the deviation of the fragments exceeded expectations again. The fleet had to bombard the fragments again, using the most violent method to get the fragments back on track.

As the distance decreased, the interval between corrections became shorter and shorter. In just five minutes, the fleet fired seven rounds of nuclear bombs and finally kept the direction of the fragments within a controllable range.
