One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty Chase
This is what Ye Han thought and did. The Lone Wolf selected the target, and then two missiles flew in. After a while, a bright light flashed in the bottomless crater, and the earth bulged high.
Soon after, the uplifted earth fell back into depressions, but hot magma suddenly gushes out from deep underground, and the fiery red and sticky magma surged high...
Everyone on the Lone Wolf was stunned, even Ye Han was no exception.
He did secretly think about whether he could use a nuclear bomb to detonate the volcanoes on Io, but those volcanic wells deep underground had been extinguished for who knows how many years, and Ye Han did not dare to expect that those extinct volcanoes could still erupt.
Unexpectedly, only two missiles were used to pierce the volcanic well. The earthquake caused the volcano to erupt. It was a double disaster. Except that there were no aliens in it, otherwise it would definitely be bad.
After exploding several craters in succession, many volcanoes on Io erupted. It can be said that there are volcanoes everywhere and lava everywhere.
The special geology of Io not only allowed Lone Wolf to save a lot of nuclear bombs, but also saved a lot of time. In just a few hours, the destruction mission was exceeded.
Until Lone Wolf left Io, Gao Kai still had an unreal feeling. He kept looking back at the satellite covered in smoke and dust, and it took him a while to say a word in a daze: "Is this the end?"
Ye Han glanced at him in surprise: "What else can we do? Being able to bring disaster to Io like this is already the limit!"
"No, that's not what I meant." Gao Kai said, "I just feel like it's like a dream."
Not only Gao Kai, but everyone else on the Lone Wolf had similar feelings. After the news was spread back to Earth, Beiyue Continent, the International Base, and the senior officials of various countries were not much better.
Not only because the Lone Wolf can use a hundred super nuclear bombs to destroy the Galileo satellites, but also because the Lone Wolf robbed the expeditionary force's supplies.
Fortunately, the expeditionary force has no need for this for the time being, and the lack of these nuclear bombs will not affect anything - from the beginning, the combat target of super nuclear bombs has been satellites or planets, and no one has ever planned to use this thing to deal with enemy warships.
The reason is also very simple. The vacuum environment in space is not conducive to the spread of the power of nuclear bombs. The power range of a super nuclear bomb with an equivalent capacity of one to two million tons is no greater than that of a micro nuclear bomb with an equivalent capacity of only a few thousand tons.
Therefore, the nuclear bomb yield against alien warships is not large. This is one of the main reasons why the Lone Wolf can toss those satellites, but the Jupiter fleet cannot defeat the aliens.
No matter what the people on Earth think, Lone Wolf has temporarily solved the problem of Jupiter. Such a dazzling achievement cannot be ignored by anyone, and it is very likely to become a model for solving the problem of Saturn.
The operation of the Lone Wolf also increased the military's emphasis on super nuclear bombs. Soon someone proposed that the fleet must be equipped with a larger super nuclear bomb, preferably one that can trigger a magnitude 10 earthquake, thus destroying satellites. enemies will become easier.
When uninformed people hear this news, they will only think that it is the aftermath of the Battle of Jupiter. But if you think about it more deeply, you will realize that the target of the military's research on this kind of nuclear bomb is probably Titan!
Why?
Of course, the existing super nuclear bombs are enough to deal with other satellites. Only Titan needs a nuclear bomb with a larger yield... Titan is the second largest satellite in the solar system, only slightly smaller than Ganymede.
It is said that the existing super nuclear bombs can even bulldoze Ganymede, and dealing with Titan is not a problem. There seems to be no need to develop a super nuclear bomb with a higher yield.
As a result, some people soon raised objections, believing that there was no need for super nuclear bombs to deal with aliens on Titan. Just throwing a few cobalt bombs could completely destroy the environment there.
This opinion was also rejected... Humans have long used cobalt bombs on Europa, and aliens have many means to clean up radiation sources.
Moreover, the environment of Titan is not very good. Unlike Europa, which has a complete ecosystem, the effect of cobalt bombs on Titan is very limited.
Ye Han, who was far away in Jupiter, didn't care about the impact of this battle at all.
The Lone Wolf immediately rushed to Callisto after leaving Io. Regardless of whether there were any aliens underground, it simply bombed them with nuclear bombs first.
While bombing Callisto, Ye Han did not forget to observe the escaping alien warships to see how they would react. As a result, the only movement of the enemy ships was to run faster.
But the ones that escaped were all ordinary warships. No matter how fast they were, how fast could they go? There was no chance of escaping the pursuit of the Lone Wolf.
After solving Callisto, the Lone Wolf officially launched a pursuit. However, as soon as the battleship left Callisto, the alien battleships that had gathered together dispersed and fled in different directions.
The alien warship not only escaped quickly, but also left some warships to actively attack the Lone Wolf, obviously trying to delay time.
Seeing this scene, Ye Han suddenly realized that his judgment was probably wrong, but when the situation developed to this point, he had no way to reverse it. He could only bite the broken enemy ship at the rear and kill more than ten enemy ships in one go. Eat them all.
Just when Ye Han was about to continue the pursuit, a dozen more enemy ships that had escaped turned around and flew back, forming a second interception fleet.
Can the battleship that has escaped can come back and continue to delay time? This is a new situation that has never happened before. Ye Han is even more certain of his judgment. The reason why the enemy keeps abandoning battleships and cutting off the rear is probably because there are important aliens in the escaping enemy ships!
Although humans haven't even figured out the social structure of aliens, and it's impossible to know where the important aliens are, Ye Han still wants to find this person and kill him to make him angry.
So Ye Han called up the star map and marked the positions of all enemy ships on the map, intending to find the most important enemy ship, but he looked over and over for a long time, and his eyes were sore that he couldn't see where it was. Each enemy ship is different.
There is no other way. Since you can't see it, you have to kill it all at once. Before the enemy ships leave Jupiter's gravitational range, you must kill a few more ships. When the enemy runs far away, it will be difficult to pursue it again - despite the speed of the Lone Wolf, Hurry up, you can't wait for the enemy ships to run around. We caught up with one here, and it has traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers in the opposite direction. Do you think we should pursue it or not in this situation?
If you don't pursue it, you will just watch the enemy ship escape; if you pursue it, you will chase an enemy ship for millions of kilometers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you won't gain much. It's simply not worth the gain.
Ye Han, who couldn't find a flaw, simply didn't think about it so much and focused on commanding the warships to chase down the enemy ships. If he could catch a big fish, he would count his luck. If he couldn't, there was no need to blame others.
