Six Hundred and Thirty Second Step by Step (2)

The wide door of the maintenance cabin opened, and the red warning light inside the door rotated rapidly. After the rescuers sent the lifeboat into the maintenance cabin, the wide door slowly closed.

After the hatch was fully closed, the warning light went off at the same time, and then the air extraction equipment began to inject air into the maintenance cabin, and the air pressure in the cabin quickly returned to normal.

A group of rescuers in protective suits replaced their companions in spacesuits. Although wearing protective suits is not very neat, it is much better than bulky spacesuits.

Several people came to the hatch of the lifeboat, first measured the situation inside the boat, and found that the air pressure in the lifeboat was slightly lower, and everything else was normal.

So the rescuers pried open the hatch and entered the boat one by one.

At this moment, all the high-level officers of the fleet headed by Gao Kai watched this scene through the monitoring system. After the rescuers entered the lifeboat, the screen seemed to be at a standstill, only the time numbers in the corner of the screen were still beating one by one.

Ten seconds later, a rescuer dragged a person out of the lifeboat, dragged the person in the spacesuit aside and carefully put it away, and then floated back into the boat again.

After several repetitions, several rescuers dragged twelve people out of the lifeboat and fixed them neatly on the deck in a row. The rescuers closed the hatch again until the lifeboat was emptied.

A chill came to Gao Kai's heart, and he immediately activated the communication equipment: "Rescue team, this is the headquarters, how is the situation?"

"Report, all sacrificed."

"Isn't there still air pressure?"

"Oxygen gone."

Gao Kai only felt that his breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't vent it. After a while, he sighed helplessly: "Confirm your identity and restrain yourself."

After saying this, Gao Kai, who was full of melancholy, ended the communication. The atmosphere in the headquarters was stagnant, but no one was willing to speak to break the suffocating silence.

After a while, Gao Kai waved his hand wearily: "Let's go, go and do whatever you want."

Everyone left silently, only Lu Zuo took a step slowly to persuade: "Commander..."

"You don't need to persuade me, I understand everything, it's just that I'm not happy."

Lu Zuo moved his mouth, but made no sound. He hesitated for a moment, then turned and left the headquarters.

at this time,

It's better to let Gao Kai be quiet for a while.

Lu Zuo was born in the navy. Although he didn't have the opportunity to participate in real naval battles, he has experienced a lot of various exercises and low-intensity conflicts, and he has also witnessed his comrades fall by his side.

In his opinion, Gao Kai's sympathetic officer is not suitable to be the commander of the fleet at all. As the saying goes, kindness does not lead the army. Sitting in this position, you should put away unnecessary sympathy, and when necessary, you should not even change your face. He ordered the soldiers to fight to the death.

Gao Kai...can you do it?

With suspicion in his heart, Lu Zuo drifted away full of thoughts.

Gao Kai was in a bad mood. He thought that this time he could save a few more people like he did when he rescued Ye Han, but all the corpses he wanted to move out were corpses.

According to the custom of the Navy, the victims should be buried at sea, that is, the bodies should be thrown into the sea. To switch to the universe is to throw it outside directly.

But Gao Kai didn't want to do this at all. Anyway, there is plenty of space on the ship. First, find a place to put the bodies of the victims. When the battle is over, bring them back to Earth... Even if there are only bodies, or even ashes, It is also a great comfort to the relatives of the victims.

At this time, Gao Kai didn't realize that what bringing back the body of the victim to his relatives was not comfort, but the annihilation of hope.

It is true that the environment in the universe is extremely harsh, and being missing near Jupiter is tantamount to a death sentence.

But there are no absolutes in the world, even if the First Fleet was almost wiped out, there are still examples like Ye Han who survived successfully.

One can only be considered missing if one is alive but not dead. Even if one is deceiving oneself and others, one can say that there is still a glimmer of hope of surviving; on the other hand, if a corpse is found, there is no hope at all.

In the next few days, the Second Fleet will continue to implement the established plan, cleaning up all the small satellites encountered, and leaving nothing that can be cleaned up, even if it consumes a few more nuclear bombs for this. Anyway, the Second Fleet The most indispensable thing is the nuclear warhead.

As a result, a few days later, more than half of Jupiter's small satellites were killed by the Second Fleet, and the rest were on the other side of Jupiter, absolutely no threat to the fleet's position.

The aliens wanted to send troops to stop them several times, but the Second Fleet took the initiative to avoid them every time, just not giving the alien fleet a chance to approach.

This continued until the Second Fleet approached Europa.

The diameter of Europa is 170 kilometers. Aliens have placed a large number of fleets on this satellite 1.1 million kilometers away from Jupiter, the number of which is no less than a hundred.

However, Jupiter's position at this time is just below Jupiter, and if you want to attack Jupiter, you can't leave such a dangerous tail behind the fleet.

In order to clear the small satellites, the Second Fleet has been staying near Jupiter for too long. Even if Gao Kai wants to continue, the fleet will have to persist for a few days at most before they have to embark on the return journey.

If the alien fleet on Europa is eliminated, it becomes the top priority of the Second Fleet.

After fighting guerrilla warfare for so long, Gao Kai also felt annoyed, so he simply ordered the fleet to press up.

As soon as the Second Fleet took action, a large number of ice-white battleships took off from Jupiter Zero and other Jupiter satellites, and all the enemy troops flocked to Europa to prevent the Second Fleet from forcibly breaking through and intercepting them.

Gao Kai didn't plan to attack by force either. He gathered all the belongings of the expedition fleet and made a gesture of imminent attack. In order to deceive the aliens, the fleet slowly approached Europa.

For some unknown reason, the alien fleet remains unmoved and sticks to the vicinity of Zero.

Gao Kai thinks this situation is very interesting, does it have to be close to fight?

He immediately ordered the ships to fire on Io.

The order was issued, and the ten warships of the Second Fleet fired at the same time. There were only 20 nuclear bombs with a yield of more than 10 million tons in two rounds, and another 30 to 40 nuclear shells.

The warships of the Space Fleet are often hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. In this environment, the hit rate of the artillery shells is really gratifying. Only when the distance is extremely close can the naval guns have the possibility of firing.

But it's just right for dealing with Europa, which doesn't move at all.

The Second Fleet's attack was very sudden. The alien warships guarding the vicinity of Europa didn't panic at all. They waited silently for the missiles to approach, and more than a hundred alien warships suddenly shot neat thin lights, cutting off the incoming missiles one by one. .

No matter how fast the flying speed of the missile is, it looks much slower than the artillery shell. No missile can escape the salvo of the alien fleet.

On the contrary, the small size of the cannonball also flies fast. When the cannonball flew over, the situation took a 180-degree turn.
