Eight Hundred and Six Mosquito Legs

On May 31, 2027, the Third Fleet of the Expeditionary Force.

A dozen warships of various types, headed by the Nanzhou, silently passed through the asteroid belt. Not far outside the orbit of the fleet was Europa, which was traveling in the same direction as the ship.

From the star map, the small celestial bodies in the asteroid belt are very dense, giving people the illusion that once they enter the asteroid belt, they will hit an asteroid sooner or later. In fact, the distance between asteroids is very far, and the possibility of hitting an asteroid is very low. .

Furthermore, the warship's radar is not a display. It always monitors the airspace near the fleet. Even if an asteroid does approach, there is no chance of hitting the warship.

On the Yushan, Ye Han's eyes were looking through the portholes at Jupiter in the distance.

Today is the third day after hibernation. Three days ago, Europa was just a small bright spot. Now the moon is two times larger. In two days at most, the fleet will encounter Europa.

The current Io was no longer what Ye Han had seen before. The front of Io was full of large and small explosion craters, and several of its giant explosion craters were as eye-catching as the craters of the moon. He found the Penglai at a glance. The crater left behind.

At first, this explosion crater was the only giant explosion crater on the front of Europa. Now several explosion craters are surrounded by each other. Half of the Penglai explosion crater has been occupied by other explosion craters.

As for the nuclear bombs, there are more small explosion craters. The large and small explosion craters have completely turned the front of Europa into a pockmarked face, like a head covered with bald spots.

Although the moon also has this shape, Ye Han feels that the moon of Jupiter is a thousand times more ugly.

Not only is the front of Europa densely covered with explosion craters, but the back side is not much stronger either. However, the back side can still remain ice white, and the closer it is to the planetary engine, the fewer the explosion craters are. The planetary engine is surrounded by a snowy snowfield, a single explosion crater. Can't find it either.

It is obvious that the aliens have completely given up on the front of Io. Anyway, no matter how much harm humans do, they cannot penetrate Io. On the contrary, the planetary engine must be the focus of the aliens' defense. Judging from the number of explosion craters, the aliens' defense is very successful.

Ye Han felt that it was necessary to understand the aliens' arrangements, so he took out the power armor, activated the telescope function of the armor, and continuously zoomed in on Io. Then he saw a patch of stars near Io, like scattered dust. Ice-white highlights.

Each bright spot is an alien battleship. Continue to zoom in and quickly see what the alien battleship looks like.

Ye Han roughly counted, there were about three to four hundred alien warships hovering near Europa.

The alien fleet is extremely powerful;

Even if the Beiyuezhou fleet and the international fleet are tied together, there are not so many warships, but Io is not small. Hundreds of warships are scattered in low-altitude orbits near Io. The density of warships is pitifully low, and a handful of sand is scattered. In the sea, the density is higher than that of the alien fleet.

However, Ye Han knew very well that this was not how the score was calculated. If the alien fleet was so easy to deal with, the international fleet would not be unable to deal with Europa for so long.

Thinking of the International Fleet, Ye Han looked for it specifically. He turned around a few times around Europa and found no sign of the International Fleet. He couldn't help but secretly wonder, did the International Fleet know that the Third Fleet was coming and deliberately avoided it?

While he was thinking about it, Ye Han suddenly discovered that there was an asteroid directly in front of Europa, and it was hitting Europa head-on.

The alien fleet also discovered the asteroid blocking the way. More than a dozen alien warships rushed forward at the same time, crossing the Europa zero and blocking the asteroid's orbit. The dense and thin light flashed randomly, like a peeling knife, tearing away the asteroid's layers. The layers were peeled off, and after a while, the good asteroid was cut into a bunch of pieces by the aliens.

The alien warship chopped up the asteroid and then retreated to its original position. After a while, Io flew over, and most of the fragments fell into Io's atmosphere, turning into a falling fire shower meteor in the atmosphere. Soon It burned up in the atmosphere, and not a single meteorite fell to the ground.

Ye Han felt that the aliens were quite skilled in dealing with asteroids, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: Wasn't this asteroid moved here by the international fleet? Is it possible that international fleets always do this and aliens have such a proficient response plan?

But no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the International Fleet. After a while, another asteroid appeared directly in front of Europa!

Ye Han was so kind that he simply opened the Nanzhou's communications and applied for the right to use the optical equipment from the Nanzhou - the Nanzhou has the most advanced telescope in the fleet, but a disposable warship like the Yushan has no No optical observation equipment installed!

Ye Han's application quickly received a reply, and Ye Han, who obtained the right to use it, used the data link to control the telescope and observe the situation in front of Europa.

The sky-level telescope was indeed extraordinary. After a while, Ye Han discovered anomalies deep in the asteroid belt, but what he found was not an international fleet, but hundreds of alien warships!

These alien warships are scattered near the orbit in front of Jupiter, either in groups of three or five, sending nearby asteroids to Jupiter's orbit one by one!

Ye Han couldn't believe his eyes. If it was normal for the international fleet to do this, using asteroids to hit targets was a simple space tactic, but what if the aliens themselves stumbled the moon?

He couldn't turn the corner for a while, but after a while, a thought came to his mind: Could the aliens do this to replenish Europa's body?

Io was not only attacked in turn by the human expeditionary force, but also almost fell into Jupiter when it was near Jupiter. At that time, Io's surface layer was peeled off by Jupiter's gravity, and it lost a lot of mass.

Ye Han still remembers that when the First Fleet was approaching Jupiter, it was discovered that the alien fleet was sending captured asteroids to Jupiter. At that time, no one knew what the aliens wanted to do, and no one thought deeply about it. Looking back now, The aliens seemed to have systematically replenished Jupiter's mass from that time on.

He vaguely remembered that when Europa left Jupiter, it seemed to accept a few small satellites. It had been a long time and he couldn't remember whether this happened.

As for the reasons, there are a lot of things to think about, such as too much mass loss, the gravity of the planet decreases; another example is that asteroids contain certain materials that aliens need; and there are planetary engines, which cannot produce thrust out of thin air and consume every day. The combustion is an astronomical number, and the combustion used by the planetary engine must come from Europa itself...

Think about it, to be able to push such a big planet away, not to mention how much combustion is consumed every day, it would require tens of millions of tons of fuel every second.

Mosquito legs are also meat. Although the asteroid is small, it is more or less a supplement.
