There is a reason for choosing the landing point on the side of Saturn. Generally speaking, when it comes to landing, most people's first reaction is that the satellite appears in the starry sky with Saturn as the background. The satellite is just between Saturn and the landing craft. The landing craft flies straight over and lands steadily on the surface of the satellite...

There is no problem with landing in this way, but the route of the landing craft is almost perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the satellite orbit. If the engine is not started to slow down when touching the ground, the only consequence is that it hits the surface of the satellite at high speed, and the boat is destroyed and people are killed.

So what did Ye Han do?

After Leishan was aligned with the landing point, the speed of the warship was carefully adjusted-this is a particularly delicate and delicate job. Not only the speed of the spacecraft must be considered, but also the influence of Saturn's gravity on the landing craft. After repeated calculations by the shipboard computer, the optimal speed for launching the landing craft was obtained.

After the speed of the warship reached the requirement, the hatch was opened to launch the landing craft. In order to prevent the landing craft from being exposed, Ye Han ordered that the engine should not be started under any circumstances, and it could only fly closer to the intersection point little by little by inertia.

This is why the warship must adjust its speed.

The landing craft are all disguised as small celestial bodies. Regardless of the appearance, speed, spectral analysis or any other means, it will be concluded that this is a small celestial body.

In order to confuse the aliens, the landing craft is very slow. It will gradually fly over a long distance of millions of kilometers in more than a week, and quietly approach Titan without alerting the aliens.

If the aliens find the landing craft, they will only think that it is a small celestial body passing through Saturn...

Ye Han doesn't know whether this can hide the aliens, but he has taken into account all the factors he can think of, and has done everything he can. The result can only depend on God's will.

After launching the first landing craft, Leishan adjusted the angle and launched the second and third times. The three landing craft disguised as small celestial bodies gradually flew towards their respective targets.

This is a dangerous and deadly journey, and it can even be said to be a strategic adventure. If it succeeds, the situation of the enemy being strong and we being weak will be completely reversed; otherwise, mankind will fall into the abyss completely.

On July 19, after a long journey of eleven days, the landing craft approached the intersection as planned. At this moment, everyone in the fleet was staring at the No. 1 landing craft.

At this time, the distance between the landing craft and Saturn was less than 142,000 kilometers. On the left side of the landing craft was the huge Saturn, and on the left rear was the inconspicuous Titan 17. On the other side of the landing craft was the legendary F ring, the outermost ring of Saturn's rings.

At about 14:00 in the afternoon, the landing craft gradually approached Titan 17. Ye Han used the data link to connect to the landing craft and asked with concern: "Wang Yan, how is the situation?"

A few seconds later, he heard a somewhat distorted voice: "Report to the captain, everything is normal, my boat is in place, and it is expected to land in seven minutes."

The speed of the landing craft is not slow. Since the landing craft's route is almost parallel to the satellite orbit, the relative speed between the two is close to zero, so the landing craft does not need to slow down or start the engine, which perfectly meets Ye Han's requirements for concealed landing.

Ye Han caringly said: "Be careful." After that, he stopped talking and handed the initiative to Wang Yan in front.

But after he swiped his fingers several times, the panoramic view in front of him was immediately replaced by several virtual screens, some of which were images of the interior of the landing craft, some of which were external images, and some were distant and close views.

These images came from the micro-satellite released by the landing craft. The reason for releasing the satellite in advance was to help the landing craft adjust its posture.

A few minutes later, Ye Han heard Wang Yan's voice again: "Prepare for landing!"

After that, he gently twisted the joystick, and the auxiliary thruster disguised as a stone tip on the right side of the landing craft quietly opened, silently spraying a stream of water vapor, pushing the landing craft closer to the satellite,

There was a virtual cross icon on Saturn, which looked like a large potato. There was a scheduled landing point. Wang Yan and the soldiers on the boat had to bury the nuclear bomb in the landing point to ensure that the big potato was pushed to the A ring.

There was also a same icon on Wang Yan's helmet.

The overlap of the two icons meant that the landing craft was in the right direction, otherwise it was off the direction and adjustments had to be made.

Wang Yan's eyes did not blink, and he kept correcting the direction so that the two crosses always overlapped. A layer of fine sweat oozed out of his palms, forehead and nose tip.

The big potato was getting closer and bigger. After more than ten minutes, it finally occupied the entire bottom. After a while, the ground was getting closer and closer. The landing craft landed gently on the ground, bouncing up and down like a fully inflated ball, repeating several times before it calmed down.

The gravity of Saturn is very low, and the landing craft landed as lightly as a dragonfly touching the water.

Wang Yan let out a long breath: "Report to the captain, my boat has landed successfully, slightly deviated from the landing point, but it doesn't matter, I will just carry it out of the boat and walk a few steps later."

"Okay, complete the task as soon as possible!"

"Guarantee to complete the task!" After that, Wang Yan led the soldiers to leave the landing craft, lifted the landing craft without much effort, walked a few dozen meters and put it on the landing point.

Next, the soldiers first fixed the landing craft, set up a tent on the side of the landing craft that was exactly the same color as the ground, and got into the tent to dig a hole with a laser.

According to the plan, Wang Yan and his team were to place seven super nuclear bombs at different depths underground,

At this time, Qingzhou and Shihe were attracting the attention of aliens in another direction. Although there was no formal exchange of fire, hundreds of alien warships had already flown out of the star ring, staring at the two human warships with eager eyes.

The aliens' formation was very strong. If it were not for the long distance, the alien warships would probably rush in and completely destroy the two human warships.

Ye Han was extremely suspicious that the aliens had discovered the expedition fleet a long time ago, but because the expedition fleet only had three warships, the aliens had never taken the expedition fleet to heart... If the aliens had been paying attention to the expedition fleet, the aliens should have discovered the landing craft a long time ago and would never let the landing craft land on Titan!

Regardless of whether the aliens knew it or not, the landing craft had landed accurately. After simple preparations, the marines on the boat used lasers to dig holes in the ground and planned to deploy several super nuclear bombs at different depths.

Landing craft No. 1 landed successfully. Ye Han was relieved and asked in his chair, "Where is landing craft No. 2?"

He Lu glanced at the virtual screen: "It's close to the intersection point. It is expected to meet Saturn in six hours and forty-seven minutes."

"Where is No. 3?"

"Almost in place, estimated arrival time is nine hours and twenty-four minutes!"

Ye Han said with relief: "Not bad, don't forget to remind me when boat No. 2 lands!"

"Yes..." He Lu was halfway through his words, and his expression suddenly froze. He suddenly raised his head and growled, "Captain, there's something going on!"

When typing "Saturn", he always typed it as Jupiter...
