One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-Two The Long Wait

At 15:14 on July 19, 2033, landing craft No. 1 completed the placement of the nuclear bomb on Titan and reported the mission to the Leishan.

Ye Han immediately gave instructions and ordered landing craft No. 1 to stay on Titan for the time being.

It was not that he did not want to withdraw the people, but a group of enemy ships were blocking the Leishan and Titan. If he wanted to return to the warship, the landing craft had to go around a whole circle. Instead of flying around in the air full of enemy ships, it was better to continue hiding on Titan.

At least before the nuclear bomb was detonated, the safety of boat No. 1 was very guaranteed.

There were more than four hours before boat No. 2 landed. In order to delay time, Ye Han repeatedly reduced the speed of the Leishan, and from time to time used long-range weapons to tease the aliens' nerves, successfully angering more than 20 alien warships from Titan. The two sides played hide-and-seek near the halo, and for a while no one could do anything to each other.

This is not quite accurate. The Leishan was as slippery as a loach, and it refused to give the enemy ships a chance to get close. The alien warships could not catch up and could not reach it, so they could only worry.

Ye Han couldn't help but sigh. If the joint fleet was pulled to Saturn, it would not be a big deal to deal with the alien warships in the halo. If the alien fleet had not rushed to the vicinity of the earth, the joint fleet would have nowhere to hide and no way to avoid it. It would have to have a head-on confrontation with the alien fleet. The loss of the joint fleet would definitely not be so great.

Ye Han felt that as long as the command was correct, the loss of one-third of the warships of the joint fleet was an exaggeration.

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality. He was just thinking about it in his mind. If he really brought out these ideas, he would be drowned alive.

Time passed quickly in the entanglement between the two sides. At about 20 o'clock that night, the No. 2 landing craft approached Titan.

However, the No. 2 boat was much luckier than the No. 1 boat. The scheduled landing point turned out to be a big pit... You don't need to ask, you know that an alien warship took off from the pit not long ago.

The No. 2 boat was very lucky. Whether the enemy ship took off after the landing boat landed or hid underground without taking off, it would not be a good thing for the No. 2 boat.

The former directly overturned the landing boat, and the latter was more troublesome. The hole was directly drilled into the warship hidden underground. What would be the consequence... Hehe.

The No. 2 boat was happily preparing to land in the pit. After approaching, it was found that it was not a simple big pit. Several caves could be observed underground. It was likely to be an underground space built by aliens.

After receiving the report, Ye Han instinctively erased the word "maybe".

It was not a big deal that there was an underground space for aliens on Titan. The problem was whether the nuclear bomb carried by the No. 2 boat could still be placed in the original place!

You know, the location of the nuclear bomb was calculated in detail before the operation to ensure that the force of the explosion acted on the center of gravity of the satellite. Only in this way can the satellite be pushed in the right direction.

But if the aliens hollowed out the satellite, the center of gravity of the satellite would also change accordingly, and the original placement position would naturally be unusable.

It can be said that the No. 1 boat was lucky. There was no underground space for aliens under the placement point. If it was like the No. 2 boat, it might have entered the underground space as soon as it started digging the hole. This was equivalent to saying hello to the aliens, telling them that there were people above their heads. It would be strange if the aliens didn't get angry after receiving the news!

There was only one group on the landing craft, but no one knew how many aliens there were underground. If a fight really broke out, the landing craft could only escape!

After thinking about it, Titan's 16th was not a good target, and the placement plan could not continue at all. Ye Han decisively ordered the No. 2 boat to abandon the mission.

There were no enemy ships between the No. 2 enemy and the Leishan, but returning to the Leishan at this time would definitely not escape the eyes of the aliens. In order to prevent exposure, the No. 2 boat that gave up landing could only continue to fly forward along the original track.

After the No. 2 boat passed Titan's 16th, it would gradually move away from Saturn. When it flew farther, there would be plenty of opportunities to return to the warship.

Three satellites, one succeeded and one failed, leaving only boat No. 3 without a landing - it will take another two and a half hours to reach Titan.

Titan is a bit like a UFO, and its internal code name is: flying saucer!

Ye Han is looking forward to it very much, because Titan is very small, with a diameter of only 30 kilometers. It is the smallest of the three satellites, and it requires the least force to push it, but it has the fastest speed. As long as the explosive force applied to Titan is appropriate, this satellite will hit the halo like a billiard ball, smashing all the halo fragments along the way. At that time, the alien warship larvae in the halo will either break away or be hit by the flying saucer. There is no third choice.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Titan's flight direction is correct!

At 22:49, boat No. 3 approached Titan, and the most critical moment was about to come, but the aliens seemed to be unaware of all this and continued to entangle with the Leishan.

Boat No. 3 landed smoothly. After fixing the landing boat, the soldiers couldn't wait to start working.

However, the soldiers had no idea that the aliens had already discovered that something was wrong. As soon as the No. 3 boat landed, a group of alien warships immediately flew away from the halo and headed straight for Saturn's moon Saturn.

In fact, the aliens had already discovered three landing boats disguised as asteroids. The three asteroids were similar in size and speed, coming from the same direction and approaching three satellites respectively. Everything was too coincidental.

When boat No. 1 landed, it attracted great attention from the aliens. However, boat No. 1 landed on the back of Titan, just avoiding the aliens' sight. Then the warship took off, and boat No. 1 remained motionless, confusing the aliens' judgment, so boat No. 1 escaped by chance.

Boat No. 2 did not land at all after approaching, which confused the aliens even more and made them doubt their previous judgment.

It was not until boat No. 3 landed on Titan that the aliens determined that these three small celestial bodies were likely from humans. With the mentality of killing the wrong ones rather than letting them go, the aliens immediately sent out the fleet.

Ye Han, who received the news, immediately broke out in a cold sweat and ordered boat No. 3 to withdraw without hesitation. At the same time, this order was also given to boats No. 1 and No. 2.

Boat No. 1 did not rush to take off. Wang Yan felt that the situation of boat No. 3 was more dangerous, and it would not be too late to wait for boat No. 3 to escape danger before taking off.

Boat No. 2 was even simpler. At this time, it had already flown over the F ring, and it was convenient to continue flying forward or return to the warship.

But after boat No. 3 received the order, the soldiers on the boat hesitated.

Three landing craft executed the order, but only one succeeded. Only one of the three satellites in the plan remained, which was very unfavorable to the subsequent combat plan.

Should we evacuate immediately according to the order, or grit our teeth and evacuate after completing the mission?

The whole team hesitated.
