1152 The lesser of two evils
Dozens of seconds later, the drone in the other direction was also destroyed by the giant insect, even if everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Ye Han had drones, and he didn't care about this loss at all, so he simply sent more than a dozen drones to the cave in one go.
But by the time the drones flew over, the passage that had just been unobstructed had disappeared, and in its place was a thick earthen wall.
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded, and the colonel exclaimed: "When was it blocked?" That's too fast, right? ”
Ye Han was not surprised at all: "If you dig fast, you will block it quickly, what's so strange about this?" ”
"That'...... Uh, how do you continue to check this? Let people go down and blast? ”
Ye Han shook his head: "It's useless, this section has exploded, what should I do if the back is blocked?" What if it collapses? I think it's better to find another entrance...... Luo Qi, inform me to go down, and look for several other warehouses and find out all the mouse holes for me. ”
"Yes!" Luo Qi immediately complied,
I had the experience of digging the first warehouse, and the other warehouses dug the corners first, and soon found the "thief hole" left by the swarm.
Under the unified command of Ye Han, all warehouses blasted the hole at the same time, and after the hole was blown open, the drone was immediately released into the hole to record the structural direction of the hole.
However, the insect swarm was already prepared, there were no insects in the cave and no iron buckets could be found, and all routes were blocked by mud, and the drone only flew for a short distance, and then it could no longer find the passage, so it had to retreat to the ground helplessly.
"If only I could find an iron bucket." Luo Qi said disappointedly.
Ye Han pouted: "If you want to go, no matter how stupid the aliens are, it is impossible for them to hide the yellow cake under the warehouse." ”
The colonel couldn't help but say, "What should I do then?" ”
"Let's find another hole." Ye Han said, "The holes in the warehouse are all sealed, but there are still outside the warehouse!" ”
"Is it easy to find?" The colonel asked worriedly.
Ye Han tugged at the corners of his mouth: "How do you know if you don't look for it?" ”
The soldiers who received the order immediately sprang into action, looking around for the entrance to the cave.
The tunnel dug by the insects was not as secret as Ranzhuang, and it didn't take long to find seven or eight entrances, and the soldiers continued to put drones underground, but there was no change in the encounter of the drones, and the bad luck encountered the insects and was dismembered, and the luck hit the wall everywhere, no matter where they went, the passage was blocked by the insects in advance.
In this way, in a short time, all the holes that could be found in the city of Marida were turned out by the airborne division, and several skirmishes took place, killing hundreds of bugs.
Ye Han originally wanted to connect the fragmented underground passages through the exploration of drones, but the final result was too fragmented, like a crumpled puzzle, which could not be put together no matter what.
According to the calculation of the detection area, the hole found by the drone only accounts for one-fifth of the total, and this is only the urban area, not counting the outside of the city.
Ye Han has a plan, as long as he finds the location where the insect swarm stores the yellow cakes, he will immediately organize a commando team to carry out a precise assault, blow up the passage first, and then find a way to transport the yellow cakes out.
But the alien is more shrewd than he thinks, and he won't give him a chance to turn the tables at all.
The colonel's face was gloomy: "Senior Master Ye, what can I do about this?" ”
Ye Han thought for a while, pointed to the sky and said, "Is there a satellite on it?" ”
"What?" The colonel was a little confused.
"I said, is there a satellite in the sky over Australia, military, remote sensing the location of the hole." Ye Han simply said it in one breath.
The colonel suddenly said: "I'll report to the fleet immediately!" ”
"Report, ask the upper head again, is there a way to determine the scope of the cave." Ye Han said.
The colonel's brain is a little insufficient: "I don't understand what you mean. ”
Ye Han said: "The insect swarm has not landed for a long time, even if they don't eat or drink all day long, they can't dig many tunnels, and the scale of the tunnels is not large, if there is a way on it, we will use it to determine the distribution range of the tunnels as soon as possible." ”
"Oh, are you sure of the search area?"
"Sort of." Ye Han said ambiguously.
What do you mean by counting? The colonel wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that Ye Han didn't continue to say something, he simply didn't ask, and told Ye Han's meaning to the fleet as it was.
The fleet quickly replied that there was indeed a satellite belonging to Washington in the sky over Marida, and after urgent consultations, Washington had agreed to remotely sense the vicinity of Marida and find the location of the burrow.
Another question has been answered, the fleet has a number of listening devices, the kind used by airborne divisions on Ganymede, which can listen to the situation underground and indirectly determine the distribution range of the caves.
After Ye Han got the satellite remote sensing data, he immediately ordered the troops to go out of the city and continue to explore the situation underground.
The continuous probing had already made the colonel impatient: "Senior Master Ye, you tell me the truth, is it useful to do this?" ”
"If you find it, you can find it, if you can't find it, you can't find it, it's as simple as that." Ye Han said.
The colonel was stunned: "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure?" Ye Han shook his head, "If only it were that easy." ”
As expected, all units reported the detection situation one after another, and all the holes were the same as in the city, blocking the passage from the inside, and it was impossible to find where the yellowcake was hidden.
The colonel gave Ye Han an inquiring look, Ye Han sighed helplessly, and instructed on the radio: "Determine the scope of the cave." After speaking, he looked at the colonel, "I want to talk directly to Commander Zhong." ”
"Okay." The colonel agreed, and immediately began to contact, and after a while, Ye Han received a communication from the Luzhou: "I am Zhong Yuantai." ”
"Hello Commander Zhong." Ye Han greeted politely, "You know everything about Marida, right?" ”
"Understood, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"That's the case, the missing yellowcakes should not be recovered, I think the most important thing now is not to continue to find the yellowcakes, but to avoid this batch of yellowcakes from falling into the hands of aliens."
Zhong Yuantai became a little interested: "Tell me what you think." ”
Ye Han said: "My idea is this, the missing yellowcake should still be in Marida, and it is hidden in the underground of Marida, I suggest that nuclear bombs be planted around Marida to completely destroy Marida." ”
Zhong Yuantai gasped: "What are you kidding?" ”
"I'm not kidding, the consequences of things falling into the hands of aliens are more serious than destroying Marida, the lesser of two evils is just a trade-off."
Zhong Yuantai's whole person was not good, but he had to admit that Ye Han's idea was indeed reasonable: "Don't say that this master is me, even Beidu can't do it, you wait, I'll report to Beidu immediately." ”
At the end of the communication, the colonel's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Han: "Are you crazy?" ”
Ye Han chuckled: "Am I like?" ”
The colonel's cheeks twitched: "Calm madmen are the most terrible!" ”
Ye Han immediately laughed: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
