One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Three The Space Under the Ice

After taking a rough look at the surrounding situation, the team leader had a preliminary understanding of the environment under the ice. He was not in a hurry to expand the scope of his reconnaissance. Instead, he found a place near the ice cave and nailed the fixed rope to the top of his head. On the ice, shut down the individual aircraft and hang yourself under the ice.

The flight time of an individual aircraft is limited by fuel, so we should try to save as much as possible.

As soon as the leader of the group fixed himself, the soldiers following him fell out of the hole. After scanning around curiously, they also imitated the leader of the group and hung under the ice.

In this way, the soldiers came down one by one and hung under the ice one by one, even Ye Han and Luo Qi were no exception.

After a few minutes, everyone arrived, a group of people hanging together like a sideshow, incompatible with their surroundings.

Luo Qi poked the dry vine curiously: "This thing should have nothing to do with aliens."

"Why do you say that?" the group leader asked curiously.

Luo Qi said: "Do you even need to ask? It's too fragile. Look at the alien things. Which ones are afraid of vacuum?"

"That's not necessarily true, right?" the team leader said, "Aren't insect trees afraid of vacuum?"

Luo Qi was immediately annoyed: "That was on Earth, this is Europa, the environment is different!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Ye Han adjusted the light beam of the tactical light to make the light more concentrated. The beam shot into the deep darkness and could not be seen at a glance.

Luo Qi asked softly: "Boss, what should we do?"

Ye Han asked: "Team leader, you were the first to come down. Did you notice any danger?"

The team leader said: "We found nothing except these vines above our heads."

Ye Han said: "According to this, this place is safe for the time being. In this way, everyone will work in pairs, spread out with the ice cave as the center, expand the reconnaissance range, and report immediately if there is any discovery. If not, forget it. Everyone will wait in ten minutes Return here to assemble, do you understand?"

"Understood!" the soldiers said in unison.

"Set off!"

The soldiers immediately divided themselves into groups. After determining their search directions, they first launched the individual aircraft, then retracted the fixed ropes, and then flew into the abyss-like darkness. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers' figures were swallowed up by the darkness.

Only Ye Han and Luo Qi stayed where they were.

Luo Qi glanced around anxiously, but apart from the dots of light, there was only deathly silence and darkness in this place, and it was the kind of silence and darkness that made people murmur from the bottom of their hearts. Even after experiencing countless bloody storms, the feeling in his heart It is also inevitable that some anxiety and uneasiness will arise.

After a while, Luo Qi really couldn't stand the atmosphere of this ghost place, so he took the initiative to break the silence: "Boss, can you find enemies here? Do you want to look in the water?"

"We'll talk about it later." Ye Han was not in a hurry, "First, find out the surrounding environment clearly."

"Then how do we look into the water? Just jump in?" Luo Qi asked again.

Powered armor is not afraid of water, but the water depth in this damn place should be thicker than the ice. Powered armor can only move in the shallow layer at most, and cannot go to the deep layer. If an alien hides under the water, no one will be able to find it even if it is exhausted. .

Ye Han didn't know this, but orders gave birth to orders, and he had to figure out the situation in the under-ice space before saying: "Let's take it one step at a time..."

Just in the middle of speaking, a voice suddenly came from the radio: "Captain, the fourth group reported that we have reached the end. In front of us is an ice wall that has fallen into the water. There is no way."

Along with the communication, there is also a short video.

After opening it, the screen showed an almost vertical ice wall. The ice wall was covered with hanging vines. The closer to the water surface, the thicker the vines became. The vines at the water surface were several times thicker than a person.

Ye Han always felt that this scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this scene: "So fast? What is the straight-line distance?"

"Less than three kilometers."

"What about the left and right sides? Are these ice walls?"

"I don't know, there are ice walls everywhere you can see!"

"Okay, I understand." Ye Han said, "You two choose a direction, either left or right, and walk along the ice wall. If you find anything, report it immediately!"

"yes!"

"Group six reported that I also encountered an ice wall here!"

"Same as the four groups... In this way, for the four groups and the six groups, you all go to the right. The other groups, after encountering the ice wall, all go to the right to see if they can encounter something different."

The soldiers continued to explore the situation in the space under the ice, and Ye Han slowly drew a rough image of the space under the ice based on the data sent back by the soldiers. After a while, he got a incomplete map.

Although half of it is still missing, from the known parts, it can be roughly deduced that there is an irregular space with a diameter of about three kilometers under the ice.

Ye Han vaguely felt that something was wrong. If it were a normal space under the ice, the edge of the space should gradually submerge into the water, instead of being a straight ice wall like now.

News came back from all directions, and the map of the under-ice space became more and more complete. Then Ye Han discovered that one corner of the map gradually extended outwards, and there was a gap in the outer edge of the space that was supposed to be closed!

Ye Han immediately contacted the second team in this direction and asked what the second team had discovered. As a result, the second team replied that everything was normal.

The second group continued to move forward. After crossing the narrow gap, the space outside the gap became wider and wider, and seemed to be larger than the space inside the gap.

Ye Han immediately ordered each group to move closer to the gap, and even he rushed there with Luo Qi. The plan to gather in ten minutes became a piece of paper.

Soon after, Ye Han rushed to the gap and carefully checked the situation here. He found that except that the distance between the ice top and the water surface was a little closer, there was no difference.

Ye Han suddenly thought of something. He put together the distance from the ice cave to the gap and the distance between the ice top and the water surface. He calculated it carefully and found that judging from the changes between the water surface and the ice top, The diameter of this subglacial space should be no less than seventy kilometers. In other words, the ice walls discovered by each group are not the edge of the subglacial space at all.

Ye Han wanted to take a good look at the entire space under the ice, but the single-soldier aircraft really did not have that long endurance. If the people were not withdrawn, it was hard to say whether there would be enough fuel to fly back.

Ye Han made a prompt decision and ordered each group to return.

As for the issue of reconnaissance in the sub-ice space, let's leave it to the Jizhou to find a way. He has done his best to take people into the sub-ice space.

However, at this moment, Ye Han suddenly saw a faint light emitting from the nearby ice wall. Looking carefully, it turned out that a beam of light was cutting through the ice wall.

Ye Han was happy now, thinking that this warship really knew how to choose a place. After the laser penetrated the ice, the exit was just above the water, with a height of no more than ten meters at most.

No, ten meters?
