Looking down from the air, the ice cap surrounded by steel structures instantly spread out layers of dense cracks. Amid the muffled sounds accompanied by violent shaking, large pieces of ice fragments were thrown into the air.

Previously, drilling of the L-type structure sent low-temperature explosives under the ice cap and inserted them layer by layer into the ice layer. The entire project took three years, and a neat cube crushed ice pit was accurately blown out.

At the same time, the Sventovit, who embedded himself in the ice, surged up with the huge water pressure below. It was also a blessing that the titanium alloy armor of this starship was strong enough, otherwise such a blowout would be enough to squeeze and scrap the Sventovit, which was frozen in the ice.

"The goal is floating!"

"Continue to blast and stop the ice from consolidating!"

"yes!"

Deaf sounds came one after another along the ice surface. The low-temperature explosives embedded in the nearby ice exploded intensively, generating huge heat energy in the broken ice, preventing the surging seawater from backfilling and solidifying the gap.

"Sensor temperature is 11 degrees Celsius!"

"Continue to explode!"

Tan Ming stared at the holographic screen, the ice layer marked as red.

There is the ice layer where the Sventovit is located. Driven by the water flow, it is floating up quickly at a speed slightly slower than the sea water. Once the ice layer freezes, all efforts will be wasted. In order to keep the water temperature above the freezing point, in addition to explosives, they are even preparing anticoagulants...

Of course, that is the last resort.

Injecting anticoagulants will have an unpredictable impact on the fragile ecosystem under the Europa ice cap. If possible, he hopes to use those low-temperature explosives to solve this problem. Otherwise, the price of saving these people would be a bit too heavy...

As the ice layer marked as red continues to rise, explosives on both sides of the shaft explode one after another.

Looking at the beating temperature and water flow velocity parameters on the screen, Tan Ming felt that his palms were soaked in sweat.

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

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. The red ice layer finally touched the green line with a depth of two kilometers under everyone's attention.

"The target has reached the security level!"

There were warm cheers in the command room.

Tan Ming felt his legs soft, he fell on the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief towards the ceiling. Looking at the ice layer floating at a constant speed, a sincere smile finally opened the corner of his mouth.

The hard work of the past three years has not been in vain.

...

Astronauts sitting on the spacecraft put on seat belts and unfolded the memory metal shield on the top of the vehicle body.

The ice debris that had been washed up in the air by water began to fall one after another. The low ones might fly out more than ten meters, and the high ones were even thrown into low orbit. Although Europa's gravity is only one-seventh of the earth, the extremely thin atmosphere is that these heavy objects thrown into the air almost kept the kinetic energy during takeoff and smashed back.

The densely smashed ice cubes violently hit the semi-arched memory metal shield, leaving behind craters of fists. The most unlucky car was almost buried under the ice, but fortunately, the quality of the memory metal shield passed the standard, and the space car inside had nothing to do with it.

finally!

The blowout is coming to an end!

The ice layer sealed with the Sventovit floated up, blocking the hole with ice chips. A rectangular icicle rose from the center of the steel structure, and accompanied by a wave of rumbling that shook the earth, forming a rectangular tower that was thousands of meters high.

At this time, the Sventovit, like a specimen in amber, freezes safely in the center of the "ice tower". The explosive below stopped blasting, and the surging sea water quickly freezes the cracks. After losing the upward kinetic energy, the rectangular icicles with a longitudinal area of ​​thousands of square meters finally hesitated to stop the upward pace.

The hail rain falling from the air gradually stopped, leaving only the broken snow and ice slag flying in the air.

The bowl-shaped memory metal shields were closed in the center, revealing the space vehicles hiding below. The astronauts walked out of the vehicles one by one, took out the equipment from the trunk, and walked towards the colleagues buried under the snow pile, ready to help them.

At this time, the two astronauts carrying tool boxes stopped and looked in the direction of the icicle.

Fine ice chips slowly floated down from the surface of the icicles, and from a distance they looked like mist. Jupiter in the distance shot out soft light, and when they passed through the ice fog, they faintly reflected a rainbow.

"That thing is a rainbow? This, this is incredible!" One of the astronauts stared at it in disbelief.

I have been working at Europa for almost two years, but this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful scenery.

"It should be... Damn, my camera stayed in the staff dormitory."

"What's the matter? The video on the action recorder is extracted. If you go back, you can take a screenshot as a souvenir."

"That's different!"

...

Just two hours after Sventovit broke through the ice cap, Jiang Chen met Gorowen I again in the holographic conference room of the Future People Building. Over the past three years, the Earth Defense League has received considerable help from the Sventovit, and now the Defense League has fulfilled its promise and liberated the Sventovit from under the ice cap.

"I hope to discuss our future residence with you." As always, without any greetings, Ge Luowen said straight to the point.

"The Earth Defense Alliance voted in Resolution 51 that you can build your home there one hundred kilometers away from Tiangong City. There are rich groundwater, graphite ore and aluminum ore deposits. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the environment of Mars, we can discuss it again." As he said that, Jiang Chen sent the location he mentioned, together with the local topographic map and mineral reserve distribution map, to Geluowen.

"No need, we are very satisfied." After reading these dozens of g of data in about two seconds, Ge Luowen nodded and continued, "Are there any results for your plan?"

"Which one are you referring to?"

"Earth Federation."

Hearing this name, Jiang Chen's expression was a little subtle and embarrassed. He coughed softly and said, "By the old friends in the void, the situation on the earth is much more complicated than you think. I said at the beginning that it will take at least five years."

Because of the remnants in the void, the history of this world has been in chaos since World War II. Although from Jiang Chen's standpoint, the history of this world should be the original appearance of history. But if there is no external factor interference, the current global pattern should be Pan Asia, NATO, and the Soviet Union, and not that there is no one left now...

"Correction, we are not friends with them," Ge Luowen continued to look at Jiang Chen, "We are just promised to those poor people to retain the last fire for the earth's civilization as a reward for their help."

"Speaking of this, I've always wondered why you use this statement... I mean, don't you come out of the earth too?" Jiang Chen asked, "If you have to retain the fire for the earth's civilization, aren't you?"

To Jiang Chen's surprise, he thought that Ge Luowen would give him the answer without hesitation just like answering other questions. However, this time, he thought for a long time, so that Jiang Chen began to doubt whether there was a failure in quantum communication.

"I can understand your confusion, but I didn't answer you," Ge Luowen said slowly, his pupils that were so calm that there was no trace of turbulence that made people unable to see through his true thoughts. "Maybe in the eyes of those poor people, we have become something else."
