Armor Frenzy

The virtual conference room was packed once again. After everyone had arrived, Huo Qiang said solemnly, "The meeting is now. First of all, the chief of staff Wu Han will introduce the situation, Wu Han?"

"Arrived!" Wu Han immediately stood up, tapped his fingers in the air a few times, and a large holographic image of Europa appeared on the conference table, spinning slowly and silently.

Wu Han pointed to the hologram and said: "A few days ago, aliens evacuated from Io and Ganymede arrived at Europa. Everyone knows this, I won't repeat it, the current situation is the enemy Hidden under the ice, it is very difficult to locate the enemy with our current means."

Huo Qiang said, "Where are the specific difficulties?"

"The thickness of the ice layer." Wu Han said, "According to celestial estimates, the ice layer of Europa is more than 100 kilometers thick. Except for the shallow layer near the ground, the enemy can go anywhere."

Zhuang Bo said: "Isn't it hiding under the ground or hiding under the ice, do aliens belong to mice?"

Huo Qiang twitched the corners of his mouth: "They're not rats, and we're not cats, but no matter where the enemy is hiding, we must find them!"

Zhuang Bo looked tangled: "It's too difficult, this is more than 100 kilometers of ice, and even a super nuclear bomb would have to be bombed with 180 or 80? How about not like the International Fleet, dig holes in the ice and put the nuclear bombs on it? Throw it in?"

"One hundred and eighty may not be enough, we don't have many nuclear bombs." Huo Qiang said with a headache.

Zhuang Bo spread his hands: "What should we do? We don't have much time."

Huo Qiang nodded: "How far is the enemy's reinforcements?"

Wu Han said: "Conservatively, it's about an eight-day voyage."

Huo Qiang said: "In any case, the fleet must not be watched by the enemy's reinforcements. I will also be conservative. The fleet will evacuate at least two days in advance, leaving us only six days."

Zhuang Bo said: "Commander, six days are too tight. Don't say that I don't have any clues now. I have eyes and eyes. This time is not enough!"

Aliens are best at drilling holes. No matter satellites or planets, as long as they are occupied by aliens, they will inevitably end up riddled with holes, and tunnel warfare is one of the most difficult defensive tactics to deal with.

If you don't believe it, look at Callisto and Ganymede and know that they fought again and again, but they couldn't destroy the aliens. Take Europa in six days? Just kidding!

"Yes, six days is too tight..." Several fast-talking captains agreed, and those who didn't speak also agreed in their hearts.

Huo Qiang sighed: "I don't know if six days are too tight? But the enemy only gives us so much time. From now on, I don't want to hear nonsense like it's tight or not. Give me a good think about how to use the limited time. time to achieve our goals.”

Everyone stopped talking, not because they didn't want to say it, but because they couldn't think of a way to say anything.

The silence lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally Zhuang Bo broke the silence: "Commander, we can't come up with a solution in a while, so let's think about it in reverse."

Huo Qiang suddenly became interested: "Why is it the other way around?"

Zhuang Bo said: "Since I can't think of a way, then analyze the purpose of the aliens."

"Go on!"

"That's what I think. Right now, the strategic initiative is still in our hands. The enemy knows that they can't resist our blow, so they took the initiative to withdraw to Europa... They do this, 80% of the time, they want to delay time and delay the reinforcements. Arriving here can turn the situation around, and the initiative will change hands at that time, not only will we not be able to win Europa, but it is hard to say whether we will have a chance for a sixth expedition.”

Huo Qiang could not hide the disappointment in his eyes: "Say something useful!"

Zhuang Boma said: "If you want to break the game, you must first know the situation under the ice. The difficulty of this matter is how to scout. No matter the robot or other means, you can't find the situation in the depths of the ice!"

Huo Qiang nodded: "Finally, the idea is reached, and the question has returned. How can we know the situation under the ice?"

"Drill holes, use lasers," a captain blurted out.

The international fleet is gold and jade in front, and it is no brainer to come up with this method.

Huo Qiang nodded lightly: "Is there any more?"

Although he didn't say anything, everyone could see that the commander was not optimistic about this method.

Think about it, it is not difficult to make a hole in the ice, but the laser cannon is so big, the laser beam is so thick, and the cross-section of the ice hole is a few square meters. Even if it penetrates the ice layer, how much space can it occupy?

Unless the ice cave hits the enemy's hideout, it's impossible to find out what's going on under the ice no matter what.

A hesitant voice said: "Can we use the method of blasting to measure the shock wave?"

Huo Qiang continued to nod: "It's also a way... Is there anything else?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one makes a sound.

Huo Qiang was completely disappointed. So many people could only come up with two suggestions, but they were not very practical solutions. Could it be that they were destined to fail Europa this time?

"Also, send someone down." Zhuang Bo said with a tangled face, "The battle has reached the most critical time, and the determination to make must be firm!"

He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what he meant.

Can you send someone down? Of course.

But no one knows what's going on under the ice. Tunnel warfare is a dangerous combat environment. If the people sent to find the aliens, the two sides will clash under the ice. The sacrifice is definitely not ordinary. Once the aliens make dumplings, they might not even be able to send a message.

But can war kill people? Of course not!

Once you have succeeded, your bones will be exhausted, and you can become a general without a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't worry about caring for the soldiers when you have nothing to do, but when it comes to the battlefield, life and death are just casualties.

Expeditionary operations are not just as simple as fighting aliens. The success or failure of the mission will also affect the strategic decision-making of both the enemy and the enemy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The old saying is that only success is allowed and no failure is allowed.

What does one hundred and eighty human lives count for in order to win?

Wu Han said: "It's not difficult to send people to land, but the difficulty is how to find out what's going on under the ice. I'm not against it, but the problems that can be solved by landing people can be solved by sending a few more drones."

Zhuang Bo said: "Then send a few more drones. Let's try it first!"

"Then try first!" Huo Qiang said solemnly, "Wu Han, arrange for the headquarters to coordinate after the meeting, and report back if you have any gains."

"Yes!" Wu Han agreed, "Commander, do we need to communicate with the International Fleet for our plan? It was originally the task of the two families..."

"Then let me know, and by the way, ask them if they have any good ideas."
