When Ye Han received the news, the Thunder Mountain had already returned to Ceres, and there was an inexplicable mother-in-law on top of her head. Ye Han felt like a beeping dog.
But if you look closely, you will find that the mother-in-law above you is just a righteous person, and it is Bei Yuezhou who actually commands the Leishan.
This result was so dumbfounding that Ye Han lamented the intricacies of politics for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that ordinary people either couldn't afford it or simply didn't know how to play it!
The old mother-in-law is still there, but the new joint command has also brought some new changes.
Leishan received several orders from Beiyuezhou in succession, canceling the mission of Leishan to protect Base No. 1 and replacing the mission target with Ceres. In other words, from now on, the safety of Ceres will be under the control of Leishan.
Ye Han wanted to complain, can I care about such a big dwarf planet?
Don't worry, the next order is to ask the Leishan to avoid clinging to Ceres and try to adopt flexible and proactive defense tactics...
Well, this is more in line with Ye Han's appetite, but if the Thunder Mountain had not consumed more than half of its fuel supplies when it first set off, and took the initiative to attack once or twice, it would probably have consumed the remaining reserves.
.
Ye Han contacted Bei Yuezhou, and Bei Yuezhou told him that the supply ship had already set off for more than half a month. It would take a while to reach Ceres. The ship would not only have the ammunition and supplies that the Leishan urgently needed, but also the reconstruction of the ship.
Base No. 1 needs a large amount of supplies, and Beiyuezhou hopes that Leishan will find a suitable asteroid near Ceres.
This is such a godly reply. More than half a month ago, the Leishan had not arrived at Base No. 1!
Ye Han suddenly felt that the departure time of the supply ship looked familiar. He turned out the voyage log and took a look, and immediately found the number.
The departure time of the supply ship was the day after the No. 1 Base lost contact!
Everything was clear now. Ye Han began to act according to the instructions from above. The first thing he did was to use optical equipment to find suitable asteroids. After eliminating unsuitable targets through technical means, he numbered all the remaining asteroids and finally went to the site.
Do some research and find the one that suits you best.
This is easy to say, but not so simple to do. Ye Han and a group of people worked hard for more than a week before reluctantly selecting a few candidate stars.
This place is called the asteroid belt. In fact, there are not as many asteroids as imagined. It is even more difficult to find a suitable one. With these few candidates, we have to choose carefully again. If there is not one qualified one, we still have to choose.
You have to go further and continue to pick.
This is the asteroid belt. If it were the Earth and the Moon, just find an old ship and it would be a ready-made orbital elevator counterweight. Why would it be so troublesome?
This idea kept turning around in Ye Han's mind. He suddenly thought of a question: why couldn't he just make the orbital elevator into a spaceship when he had to find a counterweight?
There is no air resistance in space. The spacecraft can be made of any shape, and the gravity of Ceres is so low. Combining the ground station of the orbital elevator with the spacecraft, you can fly to anywhere on Ceres, lower the ground station, and orbit.
The elevator is ready.
If aliens come calling, just put away the cables and ground stations and leave. Isn't it much more convenient than putting an asteroid outside Ceres?
The more Ye Han thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he simply called He Lu over to write a report and send it to Bei Yuezhou... He had done this a lot recently, and now writing reports was so easy.
It didn't take long for the Leishan to receive a reply from Beiyuezhou, but the reply only said that it had received the report and did not mention how Beiyuezhou decided. However, Beiyuezhou reiterated the problem of the supply ship and once again asked the Leishan to return the ship as soon as possible.
Find the right asteroid.
Ye Han is so angry. Are all the bureaucrats in Beiyuezhou blind? They don't even adopt such a good idea?
But no matter how angry you are, there is nothing you can do. An order is an order, and no matter how angry you are, you have to execute it first.
A few days later, Ye Han was still angry. At this time, the Nanzhou, which was flying to the second base, contacted the Leishan. Gao Kai asked Ye Han to talk to Ye Han about the asteroid belt, intending to understand the situation in advance.
.
After much talk, when it came to the issue of the orbital elevator, Ye Han used a bamboo tube to pour beans, put forward his own ideas, and scolded Beiyuezhou's bureaucrats again.
Gao Kai couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but he couldn't elaborate. He thought for a while before saying: "The space base is a space base, and the orbital elevator is an orbital elevator!"
Ye Han's eyes widened: "The emotional space base and the orbital elevator are not the same thing? That's not what they said originally!"
"Why can't the plan change quickly?" Gao Kai said, "In short, you can do whatever the boss tells you to do. Why do you have so many complaints?"
"Can't they just tell me?" Ye Han said angrily.
I have been so angry these days for nothing!
"There are considerations from above. It's not your turn to worry about it in the first place. Why are you so anxious?"
"Okay, okay, if this happens again in the future, I won't say a word more!"
The two of them moved past this topic in a tacit understanding, and talked for a few more words before ending the communication.
Although Gao Kai felt that Ye Han was making a fuss, he also felt that there was indeed a problem with Beiyuezhou's response mechanism, so he wrote a report and sent it back to Beiyuezhou, suggesting that Beiyuezhou improve the response mechanism to avoid similar problems from happening again.
As a result, Gao Kai didn't get a reply from the following. He simply asked the question to Huo Qiang, saying clearly that although the matter was small, it had a big impact, and Beiyuezhou really needed to pay attention to this issue.
This report eventually caused a series of chain reactions, and several people directly responsible were dealt with to varying degrees. Since then, similar questions have never appeared again. Even if they cannot be answered, the reasons why they cannot be answered will be explained.
A few days later, the transport ship finally arrived at Ceres, the two battleships docked, and the Leishan's almost bottomed inventory was refilled.
At the same time, Ye Han also handed over the soldiers in double hibernation to the transport ship as requested by his superiors.
The transport ship then followed the guidance of the Leishan to go to the candidate asteroid, survey the geological conditions of the asteroid, and find the most suitable asteroid for building a base.
Just after arriving near the candidate star, He Lu suddenly reported to Ye Han: "Captain, we found an alien warship with a bearing of 135 and an altitude of 342. It looks like it's heading towards us."
Ye Han frowned: "If you don't come early, you won't come later. You have to come at this time...are they coming for the transport ship?"
"It's indeed possible."
"What's the distance?"
"It's too far away and cannot be measured for now. It should be no less than 9 million kilometers."
"What about other directions? Have you found anything?" Ye Han asked.
