One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Two Cooperation and Sharing

The unwilling aliens struggled for another week and finally realized that the offset problem could not be corrected by angle. In desperation, they could only temporarily stop their efforts. www.

The destruction of the planetary engine made the aliens extremely angry. It was something left by our ancestors who didn’t know how many generations ago. Today’s aliens only know how to use it, but they don’t know how to repair it. If it breaks, there is no hope of repairing it. .

And this is exactly the situation that humans want to see most. No matter the fleet in front or the senior officials in the rear, they were all pleasantly surprised when they heard the news.

However, despite the joy, everyone maintained the necessary calmness. After all, time was still short, and no one could guarantee that the situation would not happen again.

The human warships following Io did not dare to withdraw. They either followed all the time like the Lone Wolf, or replaced them every once in a while like the international fleet. In short, they just stared at Io.

As expected, the situation repeated itself. The aliens hiding in the dark were determined to start the planetary engine and tried several times. However, I don’t know whether it was because the aliens’ technology was not up to par or for some other reason. Each test ended in failure. .

Ye Han was a little confused. It was already this time. How could aliens still think about planetary engines? Shouldn't they go all out to deal with the seawater pouring into the underground space?

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

In the blink of an eye, it was early September. The aliens who had been struggling for nearly a month finally gave up. From then on, the planetary engine never started again. Under the influence of inertia, Europa slowly but resolutely drifted away from the earth's orbit and slowly approached. Mars orbit.

At this time, there is still more than a year before the scheduled impact time. With the deflection speed of Europa, it will definitely be far away from the earth in a year. Let alone impact, even the tide in the sea will not rise even half a point!

However, the more critical the moment, the more difficult it is to relax. All human warships following Io do not dare to be careless at all. Each position must be arranged for manpower to be on duty 24 hours a day, and any abnormalities will be dealt with immediately.

But the aliens really didn't move anymore... It's not that they don't want to move, it's that they simply don't have the ability.

Another half year passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of March 2039, Europa's sea level finally dropped below 200 meters, and the planetary engine emerged from the water.

The release time was two months later than expected, but it was finally out.

The expert team sent by Beidu has been on standby on the Lone Wolf for a long time.

After the planetary engine came out of the water, the expert team boarded the planetary engine immediately regardless of Ye Han's obstruction.

Not only did Beidu send out a team of experts, but the base group also sent out top engineering personnel. Both parties worked together to research the planetary engine.

If possible, Beidu would never give the base group a chance, but the alien technology on Europa is so advanced that it would be difficult for Beidu to continue researching it alone.

The northern capital also considered continuing to block Europa, but after careful consideration, it finally gave up the idea of ​​​​keeping the broom alone. After proactively negotiating with Washington, they reached an agreement to cooperate in the development of extraterrestrial technology.

To put it simply, it is joint development and technology sharing... Beidu has long studied planetary engines, but in so many years they have only developed a super engine, and no other results have been produced. If they continue to work behind closed doors, there is no telling how long it will take to achieve results. Multi-national cooperation The chances of a breakthrough are higher.

As long as the manufacturing technology of planetary engines is mastered, interstellar space will no longer be a barrier restricting humans. By then, humans will be able to leave the solar system and conduct real interstellar colonization!

Of course, the base group also paid a lot of money to reach this agreement and made certain concessions in the interests of the earth, the moon, and Mars.

There is no free lunch in the world. This is an irreversible truth no matter what time it is put.

Well, it’s impossible for Beidu to suffer such a big loss in vain. It’s definitely impossible without some exchange conditions.

However, Beidu did not originally plan to start researching planetary engines so early, nor did they expect that the aliens would really put the planetary engines here and not take them back.

Ye Han had been worried that the aliens would suddenly start the planetary engine. In that case, the landing expert team would be completely destroyed. Fortunately, the aliens seemed to have really given up.

However, the planetary engine was too big. Although the expert team successfully landed, the ring structure was still filled with seawater, making it impossible to study the structure inside.

The expert team can only use auxiliary means such as deep submersibles, and first look at the situation inside.

Ye Han really didn't know what to say about the expert group's impatience.

In fact, we can’t blame the expert team for being anxious. Europa is leaving the Earth’s orbit. No one knows where this thing will eventually fly. If we don’t hurry up now, we may not have a chance in the future.

What else could Ye Han say? The experts could only be allowed to stay below, and only a few marines were sent to act as escorts.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the safety of the expert team, but it's useless to send too many.

From then on, the expert team was stationed at the planetary engine, and everyone worked in three shifts, 24 hours a day... Anyway, Europa stopped rotating, and it was daytime all 24 hours a day.

Ye Han is a professional soldier, and he is an expert in fighting, but he is really not that good at research. Since he can't help, he will honestly help with logistics and so on.

At this time, Io has clearly deviated from the orbit of the earth. Even without any interference, it does not pose any threat to the earth. It is only that the top leaders of various countries dare not put their hearts back in their stomachs, so they keep the fleet following Io.

There is no way around it. There is no life-and-death battle in this crisis, and there is no soul-stirring hero. No matter how you look at it, it makes people think it is a child's play. As a person, you have to worry about the aliens leaving behind a back-up plan.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of 2039, which is the time when the impact is expected to occur. All human warships staying near the earth are ready, but Europa has drifted millions of kilometers away from the earth's orbit, passing by lightly and deftly. The impact of the Earth is so small that it can be ignored.

Until Io flew far away, many people still couldn't believe it, it ended like this?

For ordinary people on earth, it may indeed be over, but for senior officials and the military of various countries, the war will not be over as long as Europa is in the solar system.

However, the current speed of Io is not very fast. If aliens no longer start the planetary engine, then Io will never be able to leave the solar system.

At the beginning of 2040, the Huo Qubing and Chentang were ordered to return to Beiyue Continent. After conducting a comprehensive overhaul of the warships, the two warships set off again to the outer Neptune region and officially launched the operation to eliminate the remaining aliens.
