Chapter 1576 (1/2)

Looking down from the air, the ice sheet surrounded by steel structure instantly spreads out a layer of dense cracks. In a muffled sound accompanied by violent shaking, large pieces of ice were thrown into the air.

Previously, the L-shaped structure of drilling, low-temperature explosives into the ice under the ice sheet, layer by layer into the ice. The whole project lasted three years, and a regular cube ice pit was accurately blasted out of the 15 km ice layer.

At the same time, the sventovite, which had embedded itself in the ice, rose with the enormous water pressure below. It's also thanks to the fact that the titanium armor of the starship is strong enough, otherwise, such a blowout alone would be enough to crush the svantovitt frozen in the ice.

”The goal is rising!”

”Keep blasting to stop the ice from solidifying!”

”Yes

The deafening sound of the whole ear came one after another along the ice surface. The low-temperature explosives embedded in the nearby ice layer were blasted intensively, which produced huge heat energy in the broken ice layer, preventing the upwelling sea water from filling and solidifying the cracks.

”Sensor temperature 11 degrees Celsius!”

”Keep blasting!”

Tan Ming's eyes are fixed on the holographic screen, which is labeled red ice.

That's where the svantovitt's ice sheet, driven by the current, is now rising faster than the sea. Once the ice freezes, all efforts will be wasted. In order to keep the water temperature above freezing point, in addition to explosives, they even prepared anticoagulants

Of course, that's the last resort.

Injection of anticoagulants can have unpredictable effects on the fragile ecosystem beneath Europa's ice sheet. If he can, he hopes to solve the problem with those low-temperature explosives. Otherwise, the cost of saving these people will be too heavy

As the ice, which was marked red, continued to rise, explosives exploded on both sides of the shaft.

Looking at the constant beating temperature and water velocity parameters on the screen, Tan Ming only felt that the palm of his hand had been soaked with sweat.

Several times the ice suddenly stuck, and his heart almost jumped to his throat.

However, fortunately, there was no danger in the end. The red ice layer finally touched the green line two kilometers deep under everyone's gaze.

”The target has reached the safe level!”

Cheers broke out in the command room.

Tan Ming felt a soft leg, fell on the chair, and gave a breath to the ceiling. Looking at the ice floating at a constant speed, the corners of his mouth finally grinned with a sincere smile.

The hard work of the past three years has never been in vain.

……

The astronauts in the space vehicle fastened their seat belts and unfolded the memory metal shield on the top of the vehicle.

Pieces of ice that had previously been washed up by water pressure began to fall one after another. These debris may fly more than ten meters low, and even be thrown into low orbit. Although Europa's gravity is only one seventh of the earth's, the extremely thin atmosphere, yes, these heavy objects thrown into the air almost keep their kinetic energy when they take off.

The dense pieces of ice smashed violently into the half curved metal shield of memory, leaving behind craters as big as fists. The most unfortunate car was almost completely buried under the ice, but fortunately, the quality of the memory metal shield is up to standard, and the space vehicle inside has nothing to do with it.

Finally!
