There were several military vehicles outside the spacecraft waiting to take the crew back to their dormitories. I heard that people at the air force base were very happy to hear the Century's arrival. Many staff working here picked up umbrellas and picked up the crew outside the hatch.
In the fog, you can see many small islands of various sizes covered with vegetation next to Waikiki Island. Some are larger than Waikiki Island, and some are smaller than Waikiki Island. There are still people living on the larger islands.
Of course, many of them are local fishermen. The war may severely damage the fishery development here, because the war may cause water pollution.
The plane shook a few more times and slowly landed towards the clouds. Through the telescope, you could see several fighter jets and several air transport planes flying above the clouds. They didn't know where they were going. They might be supporting the frontline and North Korea.
Soldiers fighting in the army. Maybe it was not a transport plane, but was specially used to transport soldiers.
The four partners walked quickly to the Hummer in the pouring rain on a short stretch of road. They all sat in the same position as last time. Weber sat at the front, and then the other three partners sat in the back. The four partners got on
Behind the car, Lieutenant Colonel Norman, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took out paper towels and wiped the rain off the bodies of his four companions.
"Well, you are right. He is only twenty-eight years old this year. I saw his potential when he first joined the team at the age of eighteen. I was only about forty years old at that time, and I was still working as the coach of Century
Captain." Lieutenant Colonel Norman smiled. It seems that he has a good relationship with his apprentice and must be an elite.
"Hello, I am Wu Zhongxin, the foreman of this base, Wu Zhongxin is enough. There is no need to call me Major General. Let's make friends." Major General Wu Zhongxin stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Xiao Bot.
However, except for a large cloud layer below covering the archipelago, there is a large blue area, that is, the ocean. This kind of scene is difficult to see whether on Mars or the moon. With rich ocean support, the four partners have long been
Looking forward to returning to Earth, I wonder what Bacon, who is lying on the feeder, thinks.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman turned his head and saw the four partners getting off the Humvee, and then said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is a Chinese-American, his ancestors are from China, named Wu Zhongxin
, you can call him Major General Wu Zhongxin, I have listened to his arrangements for the past three days, so be obedient."
The four friends could clearly hear a "click" sound in the dormitory, and then saw two sets of wheels suddenly extending out of the fuselage directly below the dormitory room. Yes, these are the ones used by the spacecraft to descend.
Wheels, because the Century's body is huge, it will not slow down for too long on the runway, and at most it will descend vertically to a designated area like a helicopter.
"Lieutenant Colonel Norman, you are now in your fifties. How old is that person this year? If I guess correctly, there must be a big age difference between you, probably about thirty years.
"Webber asked.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman parked his car in front of the dormitory building. There happened to be an awning there to protect him from the heavy rain. The military vehicle the crew members were riding in had not arrived yet, so no one was staying in the dormitory building for the time being. All the personnel at the base were living there.
In other places, this dormitory building is only open to incoming guests, and all the residents are military personnel.
Looking at the earth's calendar, it turns out that today is Xiaobert's birthday. He just turned sixteen today. His four friends can't give him a birthday gift today. It's not that they don't have money, but there shouldn't be anyone to buy it in the air force base.
It's a gift shop, not a shopping mall. Weber said, eat a sumptuous meal in the evening.
"I think you must be very tired, so that's it. You can rest in your room today and gather at the door of the dormitory at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. I think the Korean army has almost reached here. Okay, that's all I have to say.
, we will only explain the mission clearly when we gather, do you understand?" Major General Wu Zhongxin smiled at his four companions.
He is a yellow Asian, probably not Korean. If so, that would be bad. He is of average height, but you can see that his arms are very strong.
Now through the windows, you can see the command building of the air force base, and there are hangars built on the runway specifically to store military aircraft. Transport aircraft or fighter jets are parked inside. Larger hangars may have gunboats parked there.
There.
Behind the door of the dormitory building, there is already a man in military uniform waiting. He has a haircut, so from any angle he looks like a young man of about 22 years old, but look at his shoulders
His military rank was that of major general, which was surprising. The four friends were right. He was an elite.
The spacecraft hovered over Waikiki Island for a while, then aimed at the landing runway and continued to descend. Now it is getting closer and closer to the ground, still 800 to 700 meters away.
"Well, I'm glad to meet you." Xiao Bot walked forward and shook hands with Major General Wu Zhongxin, and both of them smiled.
There are many crew members leaving the room, so now they have to queue up even to get out of the dormitory area. The four friends are constantly protecting the feeders in their hands to avoid violent collisions.
The spacecraft began to head east of the Hawaiian Islands. From a high altitude, Waikiki Island and the Air Force Base built on it were not found. The Air Force Base should have very bright lights as a reminder. It was raining heavily now, so the aircraft needed it even more.
I know where I landed, but it's probably still far away from Waikiki.
Water droplets slowly condense on the glass, condensing into large water droplets, and then slowly flowing upward with the air flow instead of flowing downward due to gravity. This is strange. It may be that the air flow outside the window is very strong, or it may even
People outside can be blown away, not to mention the speed at which the spacecraft descends.

The four companions had no choice but to obey and follow Lieutenant Colonel Norman. This was not a bad thing. There was a special car to pick them up. The other crew members would definitely be a little jealous when they saw that they could take the special car.
Don't forget that you can't see this spectacular scene on earth, and the four friends are so lucky today. The plane landed just as the sun was rising, that is, in the morning.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman may be giving command on the bridge now. This is also his last command, maybe.
"Well, okay, let's go and rest first." Xiao Bot took the lead into the dormitory building, and Major General Wu Zhongxin would also be escorted back to the command building of the air force base. His work today has just begun.
Jack woke up Weber, who was still sleeping just now. John and Xiaobert had already walked out of the dormitory room. Jack waited for Weber to stretch out on the bed, and then the two of them worked together to lift the bacon feeder and walked out of the room.
Jack, who was the last to leave, closed the door, and the luggage inside was sent to the dormitory room by someone.
As the plane descended further, the four partners could see through the window a yellow light shining into the sky in the fog caused by the heavy rain. It seemed that this was the landing runway of the plane. To be precise, this was Waikiki.
The airstrip at the island's air force base can be used for military aircraft to take off and land.
As the plane slowly descended, the four friends could see the horizon of the earth, and the clouds became very large, but the clouds covering the Hawaiian Islands seemed to be very thick. If you guessed correctly, these are all rain.
Clouds. At this time, it happens to be summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which is what it looks like in July.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman quickly put the feeder into the rear trunk and closed the lid of the trunk. The steps were the same as Captain Wallace. Was it the captain who taught him to do this?
So why did the military choose Waikiki Island as the air force base? Of course there is a reason. The four partners are not clear about it. This may be something only the upper echelons of the US military know. Maybe the reason is that thermal energy can be developed here, which is environmentally friendly.
It can also provide enough power for the air force base.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman walked quickly towards the Humvee. On the way, he almost didn't get caught in the heavy rain. A soldier happened to walk over and hold an umbrella for Lieutenant Colonel Norman. It turned out to be the young man who carried Xiaobert to the infirmary for rescue.
Ah, Webb and Jack both remembered him very clearly, and neither John nor Bacon had seen him.
After flying out of the clouds, the four partners realized that it was raining heavily in the Hawaiian Islands. Although the spacecraft did not continue to rock, the wind blowing outside must be very strong. The fire that could not be extinguished by heavy rain must be known about the intensity of the war between North Korea and the US military.
How big is it? Because it was raining heavily, the four friends could not look carefully at the battlefield to the west.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman first walked into the dormitory building, then got the key to his room at the front desk, and soon took the elevator and disappeared in front of the four companions. Now they need to obey the orders of Major General Wu Zhongxin.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman walked forward, and one person helped the four companions pick up the feeding device, and then said to the four companions: "You can take my car. The military vehicles occupied by other crew members are a bit crowded and may damage the feeding device."
It's not good, hurry up." Lieutenant Colonel Norman turned around and walked towards the Humvee waiting in the rain.
Recalling the first time they boarded the Century, the four friends all felt that time flew by so quickly, eight months passed in the blink of an eye.
With a whooshing sound, the plane descended into the clouds. Because the clouds were very thick, it would take about half a minute for the spacecraft to pass through the rain clouds no matter how fast it descended. It was indeed a rain cloud layer. As soon as it entered, large and small rain clouds formed on the window.
Small water droplets.
It was not easy for the four friends to get out of the dormitory area. Just as they walked to the main cabin door, they saw Lieutenant Colonel Norman waiting for the four friends in front of the main cabin door. There was a military Humvee parked there.
In front of the main cabin door, it was just like the one used by Captain Wallace in the Lunar Colony, except that there was no machine gun on the roof.
The spacecraft flew out of the clouds with a whoosh again, and finally we could see the true appearance of the Hawaiian Islands, like a row of pearls inlaid on the Pacific Ocean. However, a little fire was seen to the west of the Hawaiian Islands.
And that young man went to ride the military vehicle with the brigade. He was really a nice young man.
Not long after, Century descended vertically onto the runway like a helicopter. Because it was pouring rain, the runway was a little slippery, and the four companions could hear the "sizzling" sound of the spacecraft's tires rubbing against the ground.
Regardless, the spacecraft landed at the Air Force Base on Waikiki Island.
The spacecraft has passed through the atmosphere and is now descending continuously. The spacecraft still shakes a few times from time to time, but it is not so violent, just like the aftershocks after a small earthquake.
"Okay, let's go back to the dormitory building first. I want to introduce a person to you. He will be the commander-in-chief who will go into battle in the next three days. He happens to be my apprentice. I discovered his potential when he was a child. He is now a
This is the foreman of the air force base. Okay, I'm going to drive, everyone, sit tight." The car started in the heavy rain.
Jack found the wooden bench where Lieutenant Colonel Norman was sitting just now and put it in front of the window. Then he sat on the wooden bench and slowly observed the scenery outside. The sun had just risen now, and he could see the clouds dyed golden by the sunlight. On the left
It is already dawn, but the right side is still black and has not yet dawned. This dividing line between white and black is really interesting.
The spacecraft shook a few more times, and the books on the bookshelf almost fell off. Xiaobot ignored this and continued to read his book. He had already put on shoes on his feet and was already ready to get off the spacecraft.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman thought for a moment and replied: "That boy was energetic and confidently told me that he wanted to develop on the earth. Not long after, he was assigned to work on Waikiki Island. He lived very well here.
." The landing site of the Century is not very far from the dormitory building. It only takes a few minutes to drive there.
Now the plane is shaking even more violently. It may be that there is strong wind blowing through the clouds, which makes the spacecraft a little unstable when landing. However, with the experience of landing on Mars, this level of shaking is not a problem for the four partners.
, the bacon in the feeder is attached to the safety belt, so you can ride the roller coaster with the feeder without any problem.
"Then why doesn't he follow you to develop on the Century? Since you are his master and you are the captain of the Century, it is very common for you to invite apprentices to come over." Webber continued to ask.
Below the spaceship is the vast Pacific Ocean. The Hawaiian Islands are directly at about six o'clock in the morning. However, the sky above the islands is covered by a thick layer of clouds. The true face of the islands cannot be seen. There is also the Waikiki Island that is about to arrive, but the plane is now
It has just descended into the troposphere, and it will take some time to descend in altitude.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman was the first to get off the Humvee, and the young major general also went out to greet his master. Both of them had smiles of reunion on their faces, and they shook hands as soon as they came up. The four partners got out of the car.
, Weber took out the feeder from the rear trunk and walked up to the two people.
