One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-Six: Solve the Satellite First

On Saturn, Lone Wolf hovers quietly above the rings, neither advancing nor retreating.

The branches in the dark spot in the distance have long been retracted, and it looks no different from the rest of the halo.

On the bridge of the Lone Wolf, the main screen was divided into two. One side showed dark spots, and the other side showed the upper layer of Saturn's atmosphere. A brown alien creature that looked like an airship was slowly moving among the floating clouds.

Ye Han looked at the time. It was already four hours after the missile discovered the boat bug, but the Lone Wolf still hadn't received a reply from Beiyuezhou, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

In fact, he knows very well that the current straight-line distance between Saturn and the Earth is more than ten astronomical units. It takes one and a half hours for the Lone Wolf signal to return to the Earth, and the Earth's reply also takes the same time. This round trip takes a full three hours. .

After Bei Yuezhou received the news, he reported it to the top, and then held a meeting to gather manpower for discussion. Is one hour enough? That’s definitely not enough!

Lone Wolf has been observing the top layer of Saturn's atmosphere for the past few hours, and originally thought about whether it could make more discoveries, but so far, only the boatworm has been moving in and out of the clouds, and there are no more. Discover.

This made Ye Han very puzzled. Is there only such a boatworm on Saturn? Or are the other boatworms hiding deep in Saturn?

He even came up with the idea that this thing could be a native species native to Saturn and had nothing to do with aliens... Of course, he just thought about it casually. Even if he didn't have a brain, he would know this. This possibility is extremely slim.

At this time, Beiyuezhou was just as Ye Han thought. A group of big guys headed by Wu Han were troubled by the new situation on Saturn.

Their headache is not the boatworm itself, but the unclear extent of how far aliens have penetrated Saturn!

And this incident also reminded the top management. In the past, it was thought that it was impossible to have living things on giant planets, but aliens never play by the rules. Now that there are living things on Saturn, what about Jupiter?

The top management really wanted to see the situation on Jupiter, but the Jupiter fleet no longer existed, not even the satellites were left, and they couldn't be seen at all for a while!

No satellite of Jupiter can escape the eyes of space telescopes, but if there is a boatworm on Jupiter, it may not be visible!

Several big guys got together and simply took two warships from the asteroid belt fleet and ordered them to rush to Jupiter as quickly as possible.

Comprehensive monitoring of Jupiter's conditions.

Later, the astronomical community was also organized by the military. After announcing the situation on Saturn on a small scale, the expert team was asked to study the possibility of alien creatures surviving on Jupiter from the perspective of Jupiter's environment.

But the experts invited agreed that the chance of this happening to Jupiter is so small that it can be ignored.

This is because although the atmospheric structures of Saturn and Jupiter are similar, the temperature of Saturn is much lower than that of Jupiter. A large amount of ammonia and methane form a thick upper-level haze, so that the outer layer of Saturn's atmosphere is full of clouds, unlike Jupiter. Clear lower cloud bands can be seen.

To put it more bluntly, the outer layer of Saturn's atmosphere is suitable for hiding, but the outer layer of Jupiter's atmosphere has no place to hide, and alien creatures have long been discovered.

As for the lower cloud belt hidden in Jupiter... Haha, with such high temperature and pressure, if you don't even think about getting out after entering it, you will definitely die without knowing how.

This result made the top management breath a sigh of relief and began to concentrate on studying the Saturn problem.

However, after many discussions, no useful results could be found in the end.

It’s not that everyone is short-sighted, but that this kind of situation has never been encountered before, and no one knows to what extent aliens have developed on Saturn. They don’t even understand the situation. How can we discuss effective countermeasures?

"Since it can't be solved, let's let it go first!" Wu Han said at the meeting.

So a full twelve hours later, Lone Wolf finally received a reply from Beiyuezhou. Before opening the file, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Han.

Ye Han browsed through the content of the order, took a breath and said: "We are ordered to put away the dark spots and Saturn, and deal with the satellites of Saturn first!"

He Lu let out a long breath: "It should have been like this a long time ago..." After saying this, he felt like he was accusing Ye Han of having problems with his command.

No matter who is in charge of the Lone Wolf, the reaction when encountering this situation is to first find out the situation, and then try to see if the problem can be solved. Only when it is determined that the Lone Wolf cannot solve the problem will the situation be reported!

But even though the situation was like this, he didn't feel that it was the case no matter how he said it directly. He glanced at Ye Han guiltily and wanted to explain, but he felt that the more he explained, the harder it was to explain, and for a while he actually ran out of ideas.

Ye Han didn't think about this at all, and nodded in agreement: "It's been a lot of time, hurry up and set off immediately!"

The alien fleet is still flying this way, just in time to get rid of the enemy and blow up the satellite.

The Lone Wolf restarted and flew towards Enceladus again... Shortly after the battleship set sail, the boat bug that had been moving in and out of the sea of ​​clouds got into the clouds and never came out again.

The Lone Wolf didn't leave, and the boat bug didn't run away either. As soon as the Lone Wolf left, the boat bug disappeared. Ye Han was the first to believe that this thing wasn't attracting the Lone Wolf's attention!

But what is the purpose of aliens doing this? Delaying time? Not that simple, right?

I can't figure out the reason, so I might as well put these annoying problems behind me and concentrate on dealing with Enceladus.

The orbital distance between Mimas and Enceladus is only more than 50,000 kilometers, but the two satellites are not in the same direction. It took Lone Wolf nearly a day to arrive near Enceladus.

Ye Han didn't care whether there was an ambush from the aliens. After the battleship arrived at the designated location, he issued the attack order without saying a word. The super cannon continued to shine on the surface of Enceladus, and soon made a deep ice hole in the ice. Then a super nuclear bomb was sent into the ice cave.

Then the Lone Wolf changed its direction, repeated the process, and put another nuclear bomb in. After several times, all the nuclear bombs were finally detonated together. The satellite with a diameter of nearly 500 kilometers was torn apart in the explosion. The orbit is within the E ring, the outermost ring of Saturn. Most of the fragments, large and small, fly away from the ring, but under the influence of Saturn's gravity, most fragments will become part of the ring.

However, Lone Wolf's explosion was very incomplete. The largest fragment left behind by Enceladus was more than 70 kilometers in diameter!

Ye Han thought it was too big, so he blew it up again alone. Only when no large fragments could be found anymore, he was satisfied and ordered the warship to leave and continue to the 1060-kilometer-diameter Titan! Carapace Mania
