$1,445 OK, Let's Do It
Halsey also saw the power of the nuclear bomb exploding under the ice. After receiving Huo Qiang's communication, the two hit it off and reached an agreement in just a few words. The two fleets immediately took action, and all the warships spread out to surround Europa.
At the command of the headquarters, the laser cannons on all the warships fired at the same time, intending to penetrate the ice at the fastest speed.
At the same time, the nuclear bomb was also under intense preparation, and all super nuclear bombs were wrapped in pressure-resistant shells.
Because the power of the nuclear bomb far exceeded expectations, the headquarters adjusted the detonation time, hoping that the nuclear bomb would be detonated forty kilometers underwater. This was the optimal depth obtained after careful planning and comprehensive optimization of the previous nuclear explosion.
Until this time, no one realized the problem of insufficient depth of the nuclear explosion.
However, although the military did not know where the aliens were, they knew the strength of the alien warship's hull. Through rigorous calculations, it was found that fifty-seven kilometers was the deep diving limit of the alien warship. If the diving pressure continued, it might crush the hull!
This data was not planned by the fleet itself, but provided by Beiyuezhou. It is said that several major laboratories calculated separately and then compared to reach the most scientific conclusion.
However, Huo Qiang was reserved about this conclusion. For the sake of caution, he set the detonation depth at 40 kilometers, otherwise it could be detonated at 30 kilometers underwater.
The entire fleet was busy but orderly, and everything was going smoothly.
But the nuclear bomb of Leishan not only provided the human fleet with a basis for combat, but also sounded the alarm for the aliens!
When the aliens found that the human fleet surrounded Europa and was drilling holes everywhere, they immediately realized what humans wanted to do. The aliens hidden in the depths of Europa panicked. If the aliens understood Chinese, they would definitely curse: Isn't this forcing people to death?
If humans heard this, any normal person would be very relieved to reply: Die early and be neat!
However, the aliens did not intend to die quietly on Europa. After discovering the actions of humans, the alien warships that dived into the deep sea surfaced one after another.
Because they were unsure of the time of human attack, the aliens did not dare to neglect it. All the warships floated up at the fastest speed. They had no time to concentrate the fleet, and they did not dare to concentrate the fleet.
After the alien warships approached the water surface, they fired at the ice layer at the same time. The thin beams of light alternately crossed the ice layer. After a while, a huge ice hole was cut on the ice for the warships to pass.
Of course,
in order to guard against humans, the aliens did not open the ice hole, but dug up layer by layer.
The human side had no idea what the aliens were doing. Both sides dug the ice layer at the same time, up and down, without considering the feelings of Europa at all.
The cutting efficiency of the thin beam was higher, but the digging from bottom to top was more difficult; humans had no difficulty in digging, but the speed of laser melting the ice layer was relatively slow.
Under normal circumstances, the digging speed of both sides should be about the same, but the human side was not in danger, but the aliens were fighting for their lives. In order to dig through the ice layer, they almost risked their lives, and the digging speed was a bit faster than that of humans.
Nearly an hour later, a thin beam of light suddenly appeared from the north pole of Europa. Several nearby warships noticed this situation, and all ships immediately entered combat readiness and reported the situation as soon as possible.
In the virtual command center, Huo Qiang was sitting with Halsey. After receiving the news, he immediately issued combat readiness orders to the fleet and ordered all ships to pay attention to the situation under the ice.
But combat readiness is combat readiness, and digging holes cannot stop.
"Grasp with both hands, and both hands must be strong!" Huo Qiang quoted a famous saying of a great man to deeply express his feelings at this time.
The fleet had just prepared, and thin beams of light appeared under the ice in all directions of Europa at the same time, shattering the ice layer. One after another, alien warships rushed out of the ice hole, and before they rushed out of the ice hole, they opened fire on the nearby human warships.
The human warships were also not vague. They turned the warships and bombarded fiercely. The beams of light intersected and the missiles were crisscrossed. The battle had just started and entered a white-hot stage.
Not only did the warships join the battle, but the carrier-based aircraft that took off in advance also rushed towards the enemy ships, and took the opportunity to launch an attack before the enemy ships released the insect planes. Countless missiles flew towards the enemy ships.
The distance was too close. The missiles just flew away from the fighter planes and entered the range of the silk light. The enemy ships instantly burst into countless silk lights, preventing any missiles from flying close.
The first round of exchanges of fire was short and fierce. No warships on both sides sank, but every warship was hit by the firepower of the enemy ships and suffered some damage.
Before the second round of confrontation began, the human warships had adjusted their postures. In addition to the laser cannons, the electromagnetic cannons also joined the shooting, and one shell after another flew towards the enemy ships at a very high speed.
More than ten seconds later, the missiles and shells from the human warships hit the alien warships. A strong light flashed, and the alien warships were turned into powder in the strong light. Some were bombed into slag by nuclear bombs before they flew out of the ice cave.
The aliens' lack of heavy weapons was once again exposed, and this alien fleet also drew a heavy end.
However, in just half a minute, most of the alien fleet that tried to break through was destroyed by the human fleet, and the rest was not much better. They were destroyed by nuclear bombs one after another in the next half a minute, and the price paid by the human side was simply unbearable.
This battle lasted so short that many soldiers had not recovered until the battle was over. It was not until their companions reminded them that they suddenly realized: "Oh, we won this time?"
I have never seen such an easy battle in my memory. How did I win it so easily?
To put it bluntly, it is not complicated at all. Not to mention that humans have nuclear weapons, what is more important is that the alien warships must fly out of the ice hole, which means they have no speed and no height, and are simply sitting ducks.
The human fleet is just the opposite. It has been looking down at Europa from the sky, and naturally has a height advantage.
One side is attacking from above, and the other side is defending from below. Before the battle even started, the alien fleet had already lost half of the battle. In addition, the human fleet was well prepared. If the alien fleet still escaped, Huo Qiang and Halsey would not have to do anything. It would be better to buy a piece of tofu and die to thank the world.
Huo Qiang did not expect the battle to end so quickly. Just when he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and order the fleet to open the ice hole in one go, his eyes suddenly fell on the ice hole left by the alien warship.
Rough steam columns were rushing out of those ice holes with amazing diameters, rising high into the sky. Dozens and hundreds of gas columns appeared at the same time, making Europa look like a broken ball with air leaking on all sides.
Huo Qiang looked at Europa and laughed, pointing at the ice holes and said, "Old Halsey, we don't need to dig holes anymore, we can just drop nuclear bombs into these holes, how about that?"
Halsey nodded vigorously, "OK, let's do it!"
