1314 It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself
Asteroid belt, Leishan.
It was pitch black all around, and no celestial body could be seen. It could not reach the sky or the earth. Only the sun, which was slightly smaller, hung in the distant sky.
Outside the battleship, dozens of people worked together to remove a ten-meter-square armor plate from the surface of the front cabin. Then they all supported the heavy armor plate and slowly moved it to the middle of the battleship, stopping just above the last gap.
Ye Han let go and flew under the armor plate, shouting instructions: "Down, down, down... back, back... go up a little bit, okay!"
The armor plates were fastened to the gap, and a group of soldiers immediately flew over and carefully fixed the seams between the armor plates.
The last piece of armor was installed in place. Ye Han let out a sigh of relief, took a detour and flew out of the battleship. He looked at the complete armor under his feet and breathed a sigh of relief.
It took a whole week to finally repair the outer armor of the battleship.
But when his eyes turned to the front cabin, Ye Han's heart twitched several times.
In order to repair the middle section and the rear cabin, not only all the intact armor plates in the front cabin were removed, but also many damaged armor plates were removed. The current front cabin is like a thatched house after a hurricane, with the skeleton and cabins all exposed.
Only a few broken panels were left hanging on it.
Moreover, each remaining armor plate has a bug machine nailed to it, making it look tattered and messy, which makes it miserable and desolate.
Looking at the middle section and the rear cabin, everything is covered with thick armor. Although there are some gaps between some armor plates, the armor is arranged in a layered manner, which has no protective effect on enemy firepower, but any rays from the outside cannot directly penetrate the interior.
layer to ensure the safety of the inner layer.
At this moment, several different flavors were intertwined in Ye Han's heart, just like an overturned five-flavor bottle, it was simply a mixed bag of flavors.
He couldn't help but sigh: "What is modularity? This is called modularity!"
This sentence is not said casually, because being able to repair the battleship so quickly not only benefits from the full efforts of the entire ship's officers and soldiers, but is also directly related to the structure of the battleship.
It’s a long story. Human space battleships were created to fight aliens from the very beginning. In order to speed up the manufacturing of battleships, Beiyuezhou adopted a modular design starting from level 011.
In other words, as long as all the parts required for a battleship are manufactured according to standards and then assembled together, it will be a complete battleship.
Moreover, modularization is only one of the means to speed up shipbuilding. Another important means is one platform with multiple configurations.
To put it simply, all battleships produced by Beiyuezhou use the same basic structure. This thing is like the skeleton of a battleship. The orbital factory only needs to add cabins, armor and various weapons to the skeleton, and it will be a complete ship.
battleship!
In other words, although the Leishan is much more advanced than previous destroyers, its basic structure is not much different from previous battleships, including the armor.
The armor of the Leishan is completely common with the armor of other battleships. In order to achieve this, the military divides the armor into several types such as flat, curved and connected. The specifications of each type of armor are exactly the same, and pre-prepared modules are used.
With chemical armor, the surface of a battleship can be covered very quickly. At most, a small number of armor plates with special specifications can be used on the corners.
However, special specifications must also consider versatility. As more battleships are built, special specifications will become regular sizes.
Precisely because the Leishan has a modular foundation, the armor removed from the front cabin can be installed into the middle section and the rear cabin without any obstacles. When it returns to Beiyuezhou in the future, it only needs to repair the front cabin and then cover it with an armor plate.
, Leishan will be restored to its original state immediately.
The armor has been repaired, but for the Leishan, this is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.
At present, Leishan is still inside the asteroid belt, and its straight-line distance from the Earth's orbit is no less than 1.5 astronomical units.
This is nothing, the problem that makes Ye Han scratch his head is that the battleship is heading in the wrong direction!
If the Leishan continues to fly on its current route, it will take at least three to five years to return to Earth. When all propellers fail, the most effective return plan is to obtain rescue from friendly forces.
However, there are only a few human warships in the entire asteroid belt, and the friendly forces in the direction of Base No. 3 are too far away to quench their thirst for water. The Nanzhou is close enough, but after the Leishan broke away from the battle, the alien fleet refused to let go.
After passing the Leishan, Gao Kai had to command the Nanzhou to entangle the enemy and buy time for the Leishan.
Based on the current situation, Ye Han only has two choices, one is to wait for the reinforcements sent by Beiyuezhou, and the other is to fly back to Beiyuezhou himself.
It is simply unrealistic to wait for reinforcements. It will take at least a month and a half before the spacecraft is sent from Beiyuezhou until the reinforcements approach Leishan.
One and a half months is not a long time, and Ye Han can afford to wait, but no one can guarantee that aliens will not cause trouble for the Leishan during this time.
At present, the weapons on the Leishan are out of ten. Not to mention fighting against the alien fleet, even an alien warship cannot deal with it. It can be said to be completely disarmed.
If you can't count on rescue, you can only count on yourself.
After Ye Han returned to the bridge, he immediately summoned all the heads of major departments and held a meeting.
The first meeting was to summarize the work results of the previous stage, that is, repairing the outer armor with quality and quantity; the second was to deploy the specific work of the next stage, which was to repair the damaged thrusters.
Before he finished speaking, except for Luo Qi and He Lu who knew about it, everyone else was in an uproar.
It’s not that everyone is opposed to repairing the propeller, but that there is no precedent for field repair of the propeller. Even if you want to repair it, you don’t know where to start. How could everyone not react violently?
However, Ye Han immediately revealed his plan, and everyone was relieved when they heard that it was only partially repaired.
"The first step in maintenance is to find out the condition of the thruster. This matter is the same as the maintenance of armor. I will personally take charge of it." Ye Han turned his eyes and said, "He Lu, please introduce the condition of the thruster.
"
"Yes!" He Lu called up a document and said bluntly, "I have never actually seen the thruster. According to the data analysis recorded by the tube damage system, the main problem of the thruster is the deformation of the reaction chamber caused by long-term over-power operation.
, other problems are related problems caused by the deformation of the reaction chamber. The specific situation must depend on the specific conditions of the reaction chamber... This is probably the situation, Captain, I'm done."
Ye Han twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are really simple enough...Who has any questions?"
Everyone, you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
"No problem? Let's leave it like this for now." Ye Han said, "Everyone has been working very hard during this period. When we get back, we will inform the soldiers to take a rest and when they will repair the thrusters. Let's disperse."
Thanks to the book friend "Crazy No Pie" for the 10,000-point reward. Now the book review section has changed so that the reward cannot be seen, which is really sad.
