As Gao Kai gave the order, the two fighters hovering near the target immediately flew towards Europa, and as the distance continued to shrink, the signal became stronger and clearer, but it was not until the fighters flew extremely close that the original face of Ganymede gradually became clear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dark canopy of the sky was hidden by the stars, and the huge Jupiter was just a small red ball in the distance, and only the few Galilean moons and Europa were still conspicuous.

Small satellites with a diameter of 30 kilometers can still be ranked within the top 20 in the Ganymede family, but in the environment around Jupiter, Ganymede is actually very inconspicuous, and must fly close to have a chance to witness the true face of the backside, and it cannot see anything clearly with the naked eye alone, and must rely on optical equipment to supplement the light.

Half of the small satellite is bathed in sunlight, the other half is hidden in the dark, and the two fighter planes approach from the side, and the half of the satellite in the sunlight is vividly visible, and the half of the satellite in the dark is deeply hidden.

The two fighters had already slowed down, and after flying near the target, they changed direction in time, and the formation of two planes flew over the sunny surface of Ganymede.

The pilot's gaze swept over the surface of the satellite, and the long plane said: "Shanying No. 1 called the Eagle's Nest, and no abnormality was found in the front of the target, and our department is about to fly into the dark side of the target." ”

"Eagle's nest received, mountain eagle be careful, keep a safe distance!"

"Mountain Eagle received, over!"

The front engine erupted with flames, and the two fighters crossed an arc and turned behind Europa.

Europa has no atmosphere, let alone atmospheric scattering, and its back is pitch black, even with the pilot's eyesight, it is impossible to see the slightest clue.

Fortunately, the military was prepared, and the pilot was equipped with a flight helmet with a supplemental light function, which allowed him to have a full view of the situation on the back of the target.

The flight speed of the fighter plane was not fast, but no matter how slow it was, it flew by in just a dozen seconds at a distance of 30 kilometers, and the two pilots saw the situation clearly, and also used optical equipment to take pictures of the situation on the back side of the satellite and send it back to the Kunlun.

The long plane immediately called the mothership: "Mountain Eagle No. 1 calls the Eagle's Nest, and a lifeboat is found on the back of the target!" ”

"Eagle's Nest received, Mountain Eagle One, has you found aliens?"

"No alien tracks, repeat, no alien tracks!"

"Eagle's Nest understands, Mountain Eagle One, contact the lifeboat to see if there is a response!"

"Mountain Eagle One understands." The long plane agreed, and immediately adjusted the communication to the frequency of the distress signal, "Lifeboat, I am the expeditionary fleet, please answer if you receive it!" ”

"Please answer if you receive it!"

"Lifeboats?"

A few minutes later, the long plane report, which never responded: "Eagle's Nest, Mountain Eagle No. 1 report, lifeboat no response." ”

"Eagle's Nest received, Mountain Eagle No. 1, stand by in place."

Kunlun.

Gao Kai was in a struggle when he received the news, emotionally, he wanted to believe that the lifeboat had escaped from the clutches of the aliens and fell on Europa, but intellectually, he felt that the lifeboat was probably a trap.

Moreover, the consciousness of the person injected with hibernation stopped, and even if he heard the call of Shanying 1, he could not respond, and whether there was a response could not be used as evidence of whether there were survivors.

If Europa is an alien trap...... So where can aliens hide?

Thinking of this, Gao Kai immediately made a decision: "Order the mountain eagles, fire reconnaissance, tell them to be careful, don't accidentally damage the lifeboat; Xu Zeqiu, let's lean over and keep a safe distance! ”

"Yes!"

At the sound of the order, the Kunlun started its front engine, and the battleship slowly changed direction in the detonation again and again, keeping the same direction as Europa, and then leaning towards the orbit of Callisto, but always maintaining a sufficient reaction distance from Europa.

Receiving the order, the Mountain Eagle fired a missile at Europa.

The missile is small in size, but carries a miniature nuclear warhead with a yield of fifteen tons. After a short flight of a few seconds, the missile hit the predetermined position of the lifeboat exactly one kilometer away, and a bright light flashed, leaving a crater of astonishing diameter on the surface of Europa, and a large amount of mud and sand and rocks were lifted by the explosion, leaving the moon and turning into stardust around Jupiter.

Although the explosion site was only one kilometer away from the lifeboat, the force of the explosion was too small to have little impact on the lifeboat, and there was no need to worry about the nuclear explosion destroying the lifeboat.

But near the explosion point, it has to withstand the real power of a nuclear explosion, and if there is an alien warship hiding underground, then it will definitely be forced out by a nuclear explosion.

The first bombing point was not found, and the mountain eagle quickly made several more probes until it was determined that there were no aliens in ambush inside Europa, and then reported the results back to the Kunlun.

This result surprised Gao Kai, he always felt that all this was arranged by aliens, but there was no obstruction in space, and there was no other place to hide except for Ganymede itself.

Gao Kai still did not dare to be careless, and cautiously ordered the battleship to wait in place, only sent out the landing craft, and ordered the marines to land and reconnoitre.

The landing craft ejected the battleship under the impetus of an electromagnetic trajectory and flew at full speed towards Europa.

The landing craft weighed more than 40 tons, more than two of the heavy fighters, and its flight speed was far inferior to that of the fighters, and it took more than 20 minutes to reach the destination before and after, and it took nearly 10 minutes to successfully land and land near the lifeboat.

Seven Marines poured out of the landing craft and quickly surrounded the lifeboat.

However, the lifeboat did not have a double airlock, and once the hatch was opened from the outside, there was a danger of loss of pressure inside the boat, and according to standard rescue procedures, the Marines did not try to enter the boat, but worked together to lift the lifeboat near the landing craft and lower it, and used ropes to secure the lifeboat above the landing craft, and then the landing craft flew away from Europa on top of the lifeboat.

Through the optical equipment on the fighter, the entire operation was monitored by the Kunlun, and after taking the lifeboat away from the target, Gao Kai did not hesitate to order the Mountain Eagle to destroy Europa.

The two fighters were equipped with 10 million tons of nuclear bombs specially prepared to destroy Xiaotian, and after receiving the order, the two planes immediately withdrew to a safe distance, and quickly moved away after shooting all four nuclear bombs.

Bright nuclear explosions appeared four times in quick succession, and although the explosions were short-lived, the flashes of nuclear explosions were clear even on Earth, and by the time the light and flames had dissipated, Europa was gone, leaving only a few grains of rubble and sand scattered everywhere.

After the landing craft returned to the Kunlun and came to a standstill, the rescuers who had been prepared for a long time immediately untied the lifeboat and sent it into the pressure zone as soon as possible.

The design of the carrier is in the same vein as the 024 class, and the outer vacuum zone is the combat zone, and all fighters are parked in this area.

However, in a vacuum environment, maintenance equipment must wear bulky spacesuits, in order to facilitate maintenance and improve efficiency, a maintenance cabin is specially arranged in the inner area.
