One Thousand and Forty, Step by Step

The communication ends and the action continues.

Xiao Yuan immediately put all the remaining drones into action. Hundreds of mechanical spiders jumped out of the hatch and attached themselves to the well wall, densely clinging to the well wall and climbing around.

There is some distance between the giant ship and the shaft wall. Since a passage can be found below the hatch, there might also be a passage above the hatch. To be on the safe side, Xiao Yuan ordered the troops to expand the reconnaissance scope to include the top of the hatch and the left and right sides. Scouting range.

In short, be careful and make no big mistakes. You would rather delay a little time than leave any hidden dangers.

Just a minute later, the mechanical spider found a passage on the side of the hatch, and then found two passages on the other side of the giant ship. The height of these holes exceeded the height of the hatch.

Xiao Yuan almost broke into a cold sweat and quickly reported the situation to Ye Han.

Ye Han ordered Xiao Yuan to use spiders to guard the entrances of the caves first, and wait until the third group went up to discuss other issues.

A swarm of released spiders quickly found all the more than a hundred holes in the well wall closest to the giant ship. Looking at the dense markings on the electronic map, Xiao Yuan's skin almost exploded.

As long as two aliens lie down in a hole, the shaft can be cut off immediately. Don't even think about knocking down the shaft without dropping a nuclear bomb.

The clearer he became about the situation outside, the less Xiao Yuan dared to send the soldiers out. Fortunately, Ye Han had already mentioned this issue twice, so he simply continued to stand still and wait for the third regiment to come over.

A few minutes later, Long Jianguo led three regiments to the bottom cabin. When he saw a group of people waiting in the bottom cabin, Long Jianguo couldn't laugh or cry for a while. After asking where Xiao Yuan was, he immediately flew to the cabin door and joked: "Xiao, are you going to change tasks with me?"

Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly: "Old battalion commander, I really don't dare to move unless you come, so I'm just pointing at your sea-fixing needle!"

Long Jianguo chuckled: "Yes, please don't praise me. I'm a light-boned person, so I'm going to be blown away by your praise."

"No way, the truth is the truth." Xiao Yuan grinned and immediately turned to the topic, "Old battalion commander, you can't laugh at my joke. If you don't solve these holes, how can I dare to lead people down? Walk?"

"Okay, then I'll help you solve it!" Long Jianguo agreed and turned around and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Come on!"

The two soldiers crossed the bunker made by the aliens, stood on the inside of the open hatch and took off the rope-throwing gun, pointed it at the rock wall and pulled the trigger. With two soft bangs, the grappling hook dragging the rope came out. , nailed to the cliff ten meters away.

The two soldiers pulled hard and made sure that the grappling hook was firmly fixed, then turned around and tied the rope to the alien who had formed a bunker...

It's not that they have any bad taste, but there is no place to fix the rope at the hatch, so those aliens are the most suitable.

Immediately, the people from the third group began to release the mechanical spiders, and each mechanical spider had two legs folded on its back, tightly clamping a large land mine the size of a plate. It looked weird and ridiculous, but it was stable. Incredibly.

That is to say, in a place with ultra-low gravity like Ganymede, a fist-sized mechanical spider can run around carrying mines so easily.

The two ropes were two bridges. The spiders climbed up the ropes one by one, hung upside down under the ropes and climbed up the rock wall. Then they dispersed in groups of three or five, with each team in one direction responsible for sending the mines in. Set up in the hole.

This is not over yet. After delivering the mines, the mechanical spiders carried explosive packages in groups of two. Judging from the specifications of the explosive packages, it would definitely not be a problem to collapse the holes in the rock wall.

Xiao Yuan finally felt relieved: "Old battalion commander, relying on drones is too slow. Just give me some mines and explosives. I will take the people out and release them as we go."

"No, you should go about your business and leave the whole cave to me." Long Jianguo said.

"That's okay." Xiao Yuan didn't insist, "Do you still have a rope-throwing gun?"

"Yes!" Long Jianguo turned around and shouted, and the soldiers behind him immediately sent two rope-throwing guns.

Xiao Yuan pointed diagonally downward and said: "This direction!"

The soldiers immediately followed Xiao Yuan's instructions and knocked out the catching hook.

After the ropes are fixed, they become two rope bridges leading diagonally downwards.

Xiao Yuan called two soldiers to give the order. The two soldiers jumped out of the hatch at the same time, put their arms on the rope, and slowly slid to the rock wall. After falling to the end, they climbed on the rock wall like a gecko and found a place. He fixed the rope on his body, reported the situation to Xiao Yuan, and then started to descend while holding the rope.

The follow-up troops immediately followed up, and more than a dozen hanging ropes were quickly fixed on the rock wall, and the soldiers followed up one after another.

There was no need to make it so complicated. It was convenient and fast to just use the flight bag. However, the flight bag contained chemical fuel, and the shaft was dark and dark. As long as there was a light on this thing, there would be two conspicuous tail flames.

There were holes everywhere on the rock wall, and the bottom of the well was full of enemies. Landing with a flight bag was equivalent to indicating the enemy's target. With no choice but to do so, Ye Han could only think of this stupid way.

The first group did not leave all at once, but after sending out several groups of people, they gave way and the people of the third group continued. The people of the two groups were interspersed at intervals. After the people of the first group left the ship, they kept going down and down again. , the people of the Third Regiment drilled into the holes in the well walls in squads to investigate the situation deep in these cliff caves.

So a particularly funny situation occurred in the cliff cave. Human reconnaissance troops appeared in dozens of cliff caves at the same time, but the ones at the front of the reconnaissance team were mechanical spiders. Some of them were carrying landmines, and some were carrying explosive bags. , like a death squad, with a posture that whoever dares to criticize will die together.

However, the soldiers of the third regiment were very cautious. No one went too deep into the cliff cave. They always advanced a few hundred meters and placed mines and explosive packs after roughly checking the situation.

This location is not far from the shaft. Even if the tunnel is blown down, the shaft will not be affected. Moreover, this distance is still within the effective range of wireless communication. Once an enemy appears, the soldiers can immediately receive a warning from the mechanical spider.

The situation in each cliff cave was quickly summarized in Long Jianguo's hands. Judging from what the soldiers saw, these cliff caves were very deep and were likely to lead to the depths of the cave. This meant that the enemy could cut off the shaft through the cliff caves at any time.

The three regiments were full of only more than 700 people. Even if they sent everyone out, they still couldn't block so many cliff holes. Long Jianguo felt uneasy no matter what he thought, so he simply suggested to Ye Han to blow up these cliff holes in advance to prevent the enemy from intercepting them. One's own retreat.

Ye Han asked meaningfully: "Will the problem be solved by blowing it up? It won't take long for aliens to dig it out now."

"What should we do?" Long Jianguo was completely at his wits end.

Ye Han sighed: "I can't think of a good way. If you let the spider go inside again, go further and place a few nuclear mines just in case."

"Okay, I know what to do." Long Jianguo said.
