Six Hundred and Forty-Four Chapters Alone
In early January 2026, the Second Fleet returned to Jupiter.
At this time, the distance between Jupiter and Jupiter has exceeded 17 million kilometers, and it will not take long for it to completely break away from Jupiter's gravity, much faster than the command center predicted.
Through the observation equipment of the battleship, it can be seen that the devastated Europa is sailing alone in the void. The front of Europa is full of craters left by nuclear explosions. There is a huge explosion crater with an astonishing diameter on the edge of the front. The deep explosion craters lie on the surface of the planet like huge scars, like silent complaints.
In the war between humans and aliens, how innocent is Europa itself?
At this time, the Second Fleet was located directly in front of Europa, and could only see the blasted front, but not the back.
The fleet has been observing Jupiter on the way here, but the semi-major axis of Jupiter’s revolution is getting longer and longer. It only flew around Jupiter for a short period of time in half a month, and it didn’t even complete a tenth of a circle. , Never exposed the situation on the back to the sight of the Second Fleet.
So far, the Second Fleet still doesn't know what's going on on the back of Io, and has searched all mankind. Only the Tiangong has accidentally photographed the back of Io.
The photo was very blurry, and it was barely possible to distinguish several regularly arranged craters on the back of Jupiter.
The command center determined that those craters were the giant nozzles of planetary thrusters.
The command center's request that the Second Fleet must destroy the propulsion system, in other words, the Second Fleet must bite Io's ass, and then ruthlessly explode Io's chrysanthemum.
However, observations have found that the speed of Io is close to leaving Jupiter, and it is not so simple to catch up with Io. Even if the fleet catches up with Io from behind, the impact will not be too intense because of the relative speed.
If there is not enough speed, there will be not enough impact energy, and the root of Europa will not be damaged. Even if the second fleet is thrown on Europa, the goal of destroying the planetary thrusters will not be achieved.
Only a frontal impact can maximize the impact damage, but the planetary thruster is located on the back of Io, no matter how bad the frontal collision is, can it destroy the thruster on the back by fighting cattle across the mountain?
The side impact also failed to touch the side of the propeller, and Gao Kai almost turned his hair gray because of this matter.
After more than half a month of planning and countless communications with the command center, Gao Kai finally completed the battle plan, but even he himself was not very optimistic about the plan.
After the fleet arrived at Jupiter,
All the personnel on the Penglai retreated to the Kunlun, and the vacant Penglai retrograde cut into the orbit around Jupiter, and under the remote control of the Kunlun, it changed orbit to face Europa.
In order to remotely control the huge Penglai, the ground command center specially modified the control program of the warship, and only then did the Penglai that can be remotely controlled come into existence.
The other battleships formed a road together and cut into the orbit.
Gao Kai's plan is very simple, to hit Jupiter with the highest quality Penglai!
The Penglai and the Kunlun are both space carriers with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons. They are the irreplaceable core of the fleet. Even the highest quality space carriers cannot stop Jupiter, and other warships with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons cannot collide no difference.
Penglai changed its orbit to approach Zero's route, and finally blocked it directly in front of Zero.
The alien fleet on Jupiter took off, and most of the warships guarded Jupiter, and another dozen warships were assigned to accelerate towards the Penglai, trying to prevent the Penglai from approaching Jupiter.
The Penglai speeded up at full speed, the explosions at the stern became one piece, and the high temperature almost melted the reaction chamber. The destructive explosion endowed the Penglai with an acceleration capability beyond the design limit.
More than a dozen alien fleets also lined up, blocking the route directly in front of the Penglai.
No matter how strong the Penglai is, it cannot withstand the serial collisions of more than a dozen alien warships. The determination of the aliens to stop the Penglai is evident.
But Gao Kai couldn't let go at this time. He quickly switched the control interface, mobilized the weapons and equipment of the Penglai to fight back, and the rapid-fire gun and laser cannon fired together.
The Penglai had already fired all of its naval artillery shells and missiles, but on the way back, it gathered all the 20mm artillery shells of the entire fleet, so that several of the Penglai's rapid-fire guns had half the base ammunition.
After firing a round of shells, the Penglai implemented a spiral maneuver under the control of Gao Kai, avoiding the counterattack of the aliens while firing.
Without shells and missiles, the Penglai's firepower density has dropped significantly, and it has no capital to confront the alien fleet head-on. Avoiding the base is the right way.
Anyway, Jupiter is so big, Penglai's maneuverability will not affect the accuracy rate.
The irregular maneuvers made the alien fleet very uncomfortable, and the alien warships lined up were forced to disperse to expand the interception area as much as possible.
At the same time, the left-behind fleet near Io Zero sent more than a dozen warships to join the interception ranks, and the situation became more and more unfavorable. Even Gao Kai began to worry whether the Penglai would die before leaving the battle, so he simply gave Penglai The number gave an order to move forward with super power, and the originally dense burst of light suddenly became dense like a torrential rain. If you look through the burst of light and penetrate into the reaction chamber, you can see that the reaction chamber has become red-hot, as if you just came from It is not easy to be drawn out of the furnace fire, and the injection port shows signs of melting, and the thruster may be scrapped at any time.
But this is space, even if all the engines of the Penglai are scrapped, the speed already owned still belongs to the Penglai!
The relative speed between Penglai and Juwei increased rapidly, and the battleship itself also entered the range of the alien fleet. In an instant, countless fine lights crossed the sky, and cut marks were deeply embedded in Penglai. The ship flew out and continued to move forward with the battleship.
The stern thrusters finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they were melted and scrapped one by one. With Gao Kai's finger pointing, the Penglai suddenly turned 180 degrees, its buttocks rushed to the back of its head, and the brake thrusters at the bow suddenly burst out. With a bright light, the speed of the battleship increased again, leaving the flying debris behind.
The fine light became more dense, and the fragments peeled off layer by layer, and were left behind by the Penglai, which was riding on Juechen, forming a sparse cloud of fragments.
The distribution range of the debris cloud is not small, and part of it will definitely fall on Europa, but the alien fleet is busy dealing with the Penglai, and none of the warships has sent out a single ray of light to clear the debris.
The advantage of the relatively high speed is that the time for direct contact is short. At this time, the relative speed between the Penglai and the alien fleet has exceeded 200 kilometers per second, and the wind is so fast that the alien fleet is left behind in the blink of an eye.
The fleet staying at Muwei Ling couldn't wait any longer, and no less than fifty battleships joined forces and charged towards the Penglai.
