One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Eight The Tallest Among the Short Ones
Ruan Yinghua rubbed her temples vigorously: "Don't ask me, I don't know. I have a headache just because of this."
Ye Han said: "There is definitely no problem with nuclear bombs, but the few nuclear bombs we have are simply not enough... Even if the expeditionary force is fully loaded, there are not that many nuclear bombs!"
Zhang Guoliang said: "Where are you at home? How much inventory is there at home? If the Sirius comes over now and takes all the remaining inventory with it..."
Ye Han shook his head: "I don't know if you know Beiyuezhou's production capacity. I can tell you very responsibly that Beiyuezhou's reserves are definitely running low, and sending them all over will not be of much use."
Zhang Guoliang immediately became anxious: "This won't work, and that won't work either. So what are you going to do?"
Ye Han stared at Ruan Yinghua: "We still have to rely on satellites... You see, the material in the rings of Saturn is mainly concentrated in the A and B rings. The alien spacecraft are most concentrated here, and the number of other rings is very small."
"Then what?" Ruan Yinghua said calmly, "You want to send the satellite into the rings of Saturn, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Han admitted without hesitation.
"It's a good idea, but I can think of it." Zhang Guoliang said, "The question is how can we send the satellite in, just with our few warships?"
Ruan Yinghua asked uncertainly: "Mimas?"
Mimas is just above the halo, and its distance from the halo is only 15,000 kilometers. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is the most suitable target.
Unexpectedly, Ye Han immediately shook his head: "Mimas is too massive. The super nuclear bomb should be able to push it, but the speed will definitely not be fast. By the time it flies into the star ring, the enemy's spacecraft will have already harvested several waves."
Ruan Yinghua seemed to have thought of something, and immediately called up the list of Saturn's satellites, first looking at the positions of the A and B rings, and then the positions of the satellites, and finally locked on three satellites: "Panax 15, 16 and 17? "
Ye Han nodded: "That's them. Except for the smaller fifteen, the other two are not only the right size, but also in a very good position."
The diameter of Pan moon is 30 kilometers, the diameter of Pan moon is more than 90 kilometers, and the diameter of Pan moon is more than 80 kilometers. More importantly, these three moons are relatively close to Saturn and are all tidally locked by Saturn. , always facing Saturn, is very convenient for deploying nuclear bombs. From Ye Han's point of view, they are all the best strategic targets.
Zhang Guoliang was not good at calculations and asked simply: "Blowing up these satellites is not a problem. The problem is that we will definitely not be able to hide this from the aliens. By then, those warships will fly out of the halo, and these satellites will fly in." It’s useless!”
These satellites are smaller in size, but no matter how small they are, they are still there. The speed cannot be too fast, and the nuclear explosion is so earth-shattering, the aliens have enough time to transfer the larvae of the spacecraft.
Ruan Yinghua said: "It's a good thing to fly out, right? They can't fly back and continue to grow, right?"
"It seems impossible." Ye Han said, "These spaceships are not small anymore. We can't deal with such a large group even if they don't grow up."
Zhang Guoliang said angrily: "It would be great if I could drive Europa over. Just dive into the halo like this, no matter how many spaceships are hidden, we have to finish it."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ruan Yinghua rolled his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense, Ye Han. If you have any ideas, just tell me. We will study it later."
Ye Han said: "This is what I think. First of all, whether it can be used as a missile, the tail flame is too obvious to hide from the aliens. It is best to land on the satellite, dig a well at the appropriate location to bury the nuclear bomb, and then detonate it at the appropriate time."
Ruan Yinghua nodded and said: "This should be no problem. It's best to disguise the landing craft as a small celestial body. Maybe we can hide it from the enemy."
"I don't think it's easy." Zhang Guoliang said, "We can't leave this matter to chance. I suggest that the fleet show off when it lands to draw the enemy's attention to the fleet."
Ruan Yinghua nodded heavily: "You can give it a try... Is there anything else you need to add?"
He instinctively felt that this plan was not very reliable, but it was already the tallest among the shortest.
Other than that, he really couldn't think of a better solution.
Zhang Guoliang shook his head: "No more."
Ye Han hesitated for a moment, then shook his head no.
He really wanted to suggest that the Sirius be transferred over. With this super battleship at the helm, even if the plan to destroy the star ring with satellites failed, the Sirius would be the one to take the blame.
But Ye Han just thought about it and realized that Saturn was really too far away from the earth. No matter how fast the Sirius was, it would still take three to four months to reach Saturn.
The rings of Saturn are full of alien battleship larvae. In a few months, these spaceship larvae will not be much different even if they are not mature yet.
Ruan Yinghua canceled the virtual screen with a swipe: "Okay, I will submit the plan to the headquarters now!"
I hope there is a better solution out there!
He added silently in his mind.
Unfortunately, Ruan Yinghua's expectations ultimately came to nothing. Both Beidu and Beiyuezhou underestimated the situation on Saturn. It was not until they received the report from the expeditionary force that they realized that the situation on Saturn was far more complicated than imagined. A fully loaded combined fleet might not be able to do anything to the alien battleship larvae in the rings of Saturn.
Beidu immediately notified all allies of the news, and then the military of each country held a round of emergency consultations to discuss the combat plan of the Saturn Expeditionary Force.
However, the expeditionary force is not strong enough, and most of the feasible plans cannot be used. In the end, we have to admit that the plan proposed by the expeditionary force is the most feasible plan, bar none!
The militaries of various countries are very reluctant to admit this. After all, there are so many countries on the earth and so many military talents. How can they not be as good as those few cobblers in the expeditionary force? But facts speak louder than words. The plan is there, and it’s okay not to admit it.
Bei Yuezhou also thought about the Sirius, but it was just a thought. First, the Sirius was performing an interception mission in the direction of Jupiter's zero point. Second, he had the same idea as Ye Han, Saturn was too far away and there was no time. .
The earth has long been turned into a global village by modern means of transportation. However, the solar system is too big. With the current speed of technological development, it cannot be turned into a village within a few centuries.
On July 8, 2033, the plan was officially launched. Ye Han, who was most familiar with the landing battle, was responsible for the placement of the nuclear bomb, and the Qingzhou and Shihe were covered by the feint attack.
The first target is Pan, which is the farthest moon from the A ring among the three targets.
Ye Han was very cautious and spent a lot of time formulating a landing plan before taking action. At 13:00 that afternoon, the Saturn Expeditionary Force was officially divided. The Qingzhou and Shihe accelerated their way to Saturn, while the Leishan carefully adjusted its direction under Ye Han's command. Aim the bow of the ship at the intersection on the right side of Saturn.
That's where the landing craft and the Titan will encounter.
