One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty-Seven. We'll Talk About It when We Get the Result.

Ye Han said, "There are also combat issues. What should we do if we collide with the enemy?"

At this point, he paused deliberately, but did not give anyone a chance to speak: "The ice caves are sealed, there is definitely no place to escape, so the only option is to fight, but how to fight?"

Someone originally wanted to speak, but what could they say after hearing this? Everyone has a serious academic background, and no one is familiar with fleet tactics, but when it comes to the Marine Corps, who dares to say that they are more familiar with it than Ye Han?

Ye Han continued: "Assuming that there is space under the ice, or that the armor can withstand the water pressure under the ice, this is the premise of everything. Then what? The armored rifles equipped by the Marine Corps are designed for space, with a short barrel and a short cartridge case. It has a small charge and is only suitable for space and low-gravity environments. You have to change it even when you return to Earth. This thing is useless underwater. Even if it doesn't explode when fired, the range is pitifully low, only fifteen meters. That’s not bad. If we collide with aliens, we’ll get beaten and we won’t get started!”

Everyone who had not expected this incident had the scene described by Ye Han flashing through their minds. Although Ye Han's statement was somewhat exaggerated, ordinary firearms were indeed useless in the water. Even if they did not explode, they would definitely be a famous gun. Not much worse.

Zhuang Bo frowned and said, "Isn't there a supercavitating bullet? I seem to have read somewhere that the airborne division has this equipment."

Most of the captains present looked confused, not knowing what Zhuang Bo was talking about.

Zhuang Bo keenly noticed that everyone's expressions were wrong and took the initiative to explain: "Supercavitation bullets are special bullets made using the principle of supercavitation. The range of this kind of bullet can reach 60 meters underwater, which is far longer than ordinary bullets. And It can be used not only in the water, but also on the shore. I came into contact with it when I was in the Navy. "

Everyone suddenly realized that although there were still not many people who knew the principle of supercavitation.

Ye Han nodded: "There is such a kind of bullet, but it is used for underwater missions. Expedition missions do not involve underwater, and there is no equipment at all."

"What about other weapons?" Wu Han asked, "Lasers... lasers definitely won't work. They attenuate too much underwater. Deputy Commander, you are from the Navy and are more familiar with underwater weapons than we are. Is there anything our fleet can use?"

"Torpedo!" Zhuang Bo said without thinking, "Torpedoes are the best. The speed of supercavitating torpedoes can reach 300 meters per second, but the range is a bit short, less than 20 kilometers."

Everyone sighed together, and Huo Qiang couldn't help but said: "We don't lack artillery shells or missiles, but we just don't have torpedoes!"

"Who says it's not the case!" Wu Han also scratched his head, "No matter what,

It's just that I didn't expect people outside to hide under the water. I wish I had known to bring some torpedoes here. "

Zhuang Bo had an idea: "Will the international fleet be prepared for this?"

Huo Qiang shook his head: "It's difficult. Who knew we would encounter such a situation when we get to Jupiter?"

Wu Han said: "A nuclear bomb should be able to detonate underwater, right?"

"Yes, any kind of nuclear warhead can be detonated underwater..." Zhuang Bo said halfway, and suddenly hesitated, "Is there any difference between the nuclear bombs we equip and those equipped by the navy?"

"Probably not." Wu Han said.

"What about pressure resistance?"

"Not sure."

Zhuang Bo sighed: "It's best to put it in a pressure-resistant container and throw it underwater... Hey, what's the use of saying this now? There are so many insurmountable difficulties that it's impossible to go down!"

Huo Qiang sighed: "Okay, let's not study it anymore. Let's fly the drone to understand the situation first. We will talk about it after we have the results."

I wanted to discuss a charter first and then take action. I didn't want to discuss more problems and create more problems. Instead, it was better to take action directly. Huo Qiang deeply regretted his decision.

The meeting ended in a dull atmosphere. As soon as Ye Han returned to the Leishan, Luo Qi received an order from the Jizhou: "Boss, the flagship gave us the coordinates and ordered us to dig an ice cave."

The order not only contained the location of the Leishan, but also the locations of other battleships. After getting the coordinates, He Lu took a casual look and was about to drive the battleship over. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. When he took a closer look, he suddenly looked shocked: " Captain, why are we in the middle?"

The middle has two meanings. One is the middle of the back of Europa, and the other is the middle of the entire fleet. Including the three space carriers, all the battleships are like stars holding the moon, surrounding the Leishan. .

Ye Han couldn't help but sigh: "Because we have the most airborne troops here."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, not understanding what the relationship between the airborne troops and the location of the Thunder Mountain was.

Ye Han explained the situation again, and the bridge officer who was born in the airborne division was in an uproar.

Even though a formal order has not yet been issued, such an important mission as Europa cannot be given up casually. As long as there is a slight possibility of entering the ice, the flagship will not give up this idea.

Although many people had complaints in their hearts, they only complained a few words, and no one dared to disobey the orders above.

It was impossible not to complain. Regardless of the situation, airborne landings were much more dangerous than staying on a battleship. What's more, this time it was not a simple airborne landing, but a deep dive into the ice to search for aliens. It was more dangerous than an ordinary airborne landing. It's much higher. If you don't write a story, you will never come back. There is no place to find the bones.

Luo Qi asked depressedly: "Boss, do you need to inform us so that everyone can be mentally prepared?"

"Let me know." Ye Han said, "Not only do you have to prepare mentally, but you also have to prepare equipment. Weapons and other things, try to pick ones that can be used underwater."

"Don't you need to bring a gun?" Luo Qi asked in surprise.

"Let's prepare them first." Ye Han said, "Prepare more nuclear bombs, maybe they can be used."

Luo Qi's heart sank: "Understood!"

Individual nuclear bombs are not conventional weapons. Usually, each combat group can only carry two at most. But from what Ye Han said, this time they will carry as many as they can, which gave him a very bad feeling.

After the order was issued, all idle soldiers took action. Those who really couldn't leave also asked others to help, in case they were not prepared when they received the order.

The Leishan flew to the designated coordinates according to the order, and aimed at the center of the back of Europa after hovering.

The other warships took the Leishan as the center of the circle, concentrated on the back of Europa, and fired at the ice surface at intervals of four to five hundred meters.

At the beginning, only one turret of the Leishan fired, and four lasers fell on the same position.

The power of the four lasers was superimposed, and the ice surface under the beam melted immediately, the meltwater immediately boiled, the steam scattered, and soon re-condensed.

As we went deeper into the ice cave, the airflow became stronger and stronger. The steam condensed again after leaving the light beam, and ice particles scattered around like snow. Soon, a thin layer of ice accumulated near the ice cave.
