One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty-Four, Use the Rest

The strong light illuminated the deep sea, dispelling the darkness that had accumulated for millions of years, but the strong light lasted only a short moment and then disappeared quickly, as if it had never appeared.

Although the light disappeared completely, the high temperature left by the nuclear explosion fermented in the dark deep sea. After only a very short time, the water vapor formed a violently expanding air mass. This high-temperature steam displaced the seawater at a very high speed. The seawater took the air mass as the starting point and turned into a torrent that spread in all directions, which was simply a shock wave sweeping across the underwater.

Not long after this powerful undercurrent spread, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam mass spread to the limit. Under the strong water pressure, the seawater poured into the underwater cavity, and the water flows collided with each other, and finally countless turbulent flows flowed down.

All this happened in a very short time, and there were no visible creatures within the explosion range. However, although the nuclear explosion was over, the series of chain reactions caused by the explosion had just begun.

Just a few tens of seconds later, the undercurrent rushed to more than ten kilometers away. The two alien warships were unable to avoid it and were immediately overturned by the violent undercurrent. The hulls rolled up and down in the chaotic rapids, swaying left and right. After a while, the solid hulls could no longer withstand the huge water pressure. One hull was deformed and broken, like a piece of tofu flattened by a giant hammer; the other broke from the middle, like a grass stem broken by a pair of giant hands.

A huge amount of seawater poured into the warships, filling the warships in an instant. All the aliens were not spared. They were all squeezed into meat patties by the strong water pressure, and even their shells were crushed by the huge water pressure.

This is not over yet. The rapids are still spreading unswervingly. After a while, the downward rapids rushed to the bottom of the sea, stirring up countless mud and sand, breaking the silence for countless years.

The upward rapids rushed all the way to the sea surface. When they reached the shallow sea, they still contained great energy, sweeping away the flatworms in the shallow sea. They were either killed by the huge pressure in the rapids or hit by the rapids on the ice wall.

The torrent rushed to the space under the ice, and immediately set off a huge wave.

At this time, Europa was almost at the perigee, and the sea surface was close to the lowest point. There was a height difference of several hundred meters between the water surface and the bottom of the ice. This drop was too small. The high tide submerged the space under the ice in an instant. The violent torrent had nowhere to vent. Under the action of water pressure, it all squeezed into the ice cave leading to the ice surface.

The torrent rushed from the deep sea to the water surface. The journey of more than 20 kilometers consumed a huge amount of energy, but the energy contained in the torrent was still violent, and there were only dozens of ice caves with a diameter of about five meters on the ice sheet. For the undercurrent surging under the ice, this gap was not enough to fill the gap.

At this moment, Ye Han and all his comrades in the human fleet were like ants on a hot pot, staring at Europa and waiting anxiously.

A few minutes after the detonation time, Europa did not change at all. Ye Han couldn't help but think of various speculations,

inferring the reason why the nuclear bomb failed to explode on time.

At this moment, dozens of water columns rushed out of the ice at the same time, like an invisible giant hand squeezing Europa, or like dozens of super whales hiding under the water, spraying water into the air together.

The anxious wait suddenly turned into boundless joy, and countless voices were transmitted in the data link: "It's coming... It's started..."

Ye Han widened his eyes and stared at Europa without blinking, for fear of missing even the slightest detail.

The water column rushed higher and higher, boiling as it rose. After rushing to a height of dozens of kilometers, the water column had turned into an air column, but the water column turned into an air column, and it still couldn't stop the upward momentum, and it jumped to more than 100 kilometers in outer space before gradually dissipating.

From the battleship, the back of Europa was like a boiling pot, with billowing steam, and the air column was still rising!

Luo Qi was surprised: "Why do I feel that the water column is getting thicker and thicker?"

"Yes, I can see that too!"

Ye Han said: "The pressure under the ice is very high. With such a strong water flow, the mechanical impact alone can brush the ice cave down a layer, and the water temperature is higher than the ice..."

Before he finished speaking, another change occurred. The ice surface near the ice cave suddenly cracked and extended from the ice cave to the distance. Water rushed out from the cracked ice. Wherever the ice cracked, the gushing water flow followed.

Because the ice crack shared part of the pressure, the high water column began to fall back, but the speed of falling back was very slow.

"Oh my god!" He Lu's eyes were wide open, "200 kilometers, Captain, the cracks are distributed over a full 200 kilometers!"

"Great!" Luo Qi's eyes lit up, "Boss, those enemy ships in the water should be finished, right?"

"This..." Ye Han hesitated for a moment and shook his head honestly, "It depends on the distance between the enemy ships and the explosion point... The water pressure is so strong, the enemy ships should not have escaped."

He thought the nuclear bomb exploded at the predetermined depth, and had no idea that the explosion depth of the nuclear bomb was six kilometers higher.

"Even the ice layer has cracked, and the aliens can't escape even if they hide in the ice... Captain, is 50 million tons so powerful? Did I make a mistake and hit a 100 million ton bomb?" He Lu fell into deep self-doubt, always feeling that something was wrong.

"You fired the missile, how could you not know it?" Luo Qi looked doubtful, "The system cannot be wrong, think carefully, did you make the wrong choice?"

He Lu thought carefully: "It should be 50 million tons..."

"It's not surprising that it's more powerful." Ye Han said, "Europa is covered with an ice shell. This thing... well, it's like setting off firecrackers in a pressure cooker. If the lid is open, the water will burst out at most. If the lid is closed, the whole pot may explode."

Ye Han's description was not so accurate, but everyone understood the meaning of the words and nodded vigorously.

At the same time, the issue of Europa was also being discussed in the headquarters.

After the ice cap broke, Zhuang Bo was the first to stand up and admit his mistake: "Commander, I took it for granted and underestimated the power of the nuclear bomb."

He never expected that the radius of the power of a 50-million-ton nuclear bomb could reach 200 kilometers. This was the data on the ice. The actual power under the ice must be greater.

Huo Qiang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this first. Based on this power, how many nuclear bombs are enough?"

Zhuang Bo silently calculated: "For 50 million tons, more than 200 will be enough!"

"Great!" Wu Han was overjoyed, "50 million tons is more than 200 pieces, it is definitely enough!"

Zhuang Bo shook his head: "More than two hundred are just an ideal situation. The power range of the explosion is spherical. It is impossible for the balls to fit perfectly. The blast position must be adjusted. It is better to have overlapping power than to leave a gap... So I I think it would be safer to use all the remaining nuclear bombs.”

"Then use all the rest!" Huo Qiang's response was domineering, "Chief of Staff, contact the Enterprise and I will speak to Halsey personally!"
