After the meeting ended, the captains immediately rushed to their respective battleships after leaving, conveying the mission content and mobilizing at the same time.
After the brief mobilization, each ship immediately entered into intense combat preparations.
Because of Beiyuezhou's advance arrangements, all the warships parked in the space city and orbital factory were ready to sail in advance. Each ship was fully loaded with personnel and sufficient supplies, and could set off with just one order.
But new missions have new requirements, and each ship has made certain adjustments to its material reserves... To put it simply, it means finding ways to apply for supplies, and then stuffing as much stuff into the warships as possible.
The warehouse is filled with corridors, and the corridors are filled with dormitories. In short, all available space is used. Even the outer maintenance channel has to be filled with several boxes of spare parts. It seems that if you don't do this, you will lose something.
of.
Objectively speaking, this can indeed have some effect on long-distance warships, but the extra supplies increase the load of the warship, and the most direct consequence is that it slows down the acceleration.
"It's just nonsense, playing the piano randomly!" Faced with this evil trend, Huo Qiang criticized it mercilessly and asked all ships to put things in order, put supplies where they should be, and return space to soldiers where they should be, no matter what
No warship is allowed to carry supplies beyond the standard.
Moreover, Huo Qiang also publicly stated that if any warship slowed down the fleet, the captain would be dismissed on the spot, and those with serious consequences would be subject to a military court.
Bei Yuezhou took a two-pronged approach and finally curbed this unhealthy trend, and all the extra supplies that had been on board were moved off the ship.
Many captains deliberately slow down the transport speed, intending to drag it until the fleet sets sail, which will become a fait accompli.
However, after waiting for three days in a row, there was no order to sail. Everyone began to speculate whether there had been another accident.
At this time, a transport fleet arrived at Beiyue Continent, and the headquarters immediately issued a sailing order. The asteroid belt task force headed by the Nanzhou set off immediately, merged with the transport ship, and flew to Ceres.
The captains suddenly realized that this time they were renting out so many transport ships, and all kinds of supplies were available, so why did everyone have to figure it out on their own?
Ye Han was a little strange. Were there too many transport ships taken away from the asteroid?
But within a few days, another batch of transport ships arrived in Beiyue Continent, and the Mars Task Force was ordered to set sail.
The first to leave the port were the four space carriers. Their huge figures passed over Beiyue Continent, flying into the distance and getting further and further away.
Then came sixteen destroyers, including the Leishan, divided into four groups and following behind the space carrier. As the meritorious battleship of Beiyuezhou, the Leishan was ordered to follow the flagship Jizhou and defend the flagship together with the other three destroyers.
Next came twenty-four frigates, also divided into four formations and continuing to follow.
Finally, there was a huge transport convoy consisting of more than 60 transport ships. The number was so large that it was more complicated than all the battleships put together.
All battleships form four aircraft carrier battle groups with the air and space carrier as the core. The four battle groups line up in an inclined straight line and advance in formation at the same speed.
In front of the Leishan is the Jizhou, and there is only one Jizhou. Ye Han can only see the tail of the Jizhou when he looks up, but as long as he looks back, he can see hundreds of warships in a neat formation!
In his mind, there were words like majestic and majestic, and his eyes were almost confused by the powerful fleet.
There had been larger fleets in the past, but at that time he could only see the appearance of the fleet on the screen, and his vision was limited to the lens.
But things are different now. The military has made meticulous and thorough improvements to the Leishan, removing the large and small screens in the bridge. The Leishan has bid farewell to the screen era and replaced it with a panoramic helmet!
As the name suggests, a panoramic helmet can be displayed on the screen in the helmet in all directions, not only front, back, left, and right, but also above the head and under the feet.
After this thing is buckled on the head, it can sense the user's movements. In which direction the head turns, the screen in front of the user will display the situation in that direction.
For the convenience of command, the bridge officers and various data can also be displayed on the screen one by one. At this time, everyone seems to be floating in space. If there is no star nearby, it is okay. If you are close to the star, there is always a
A thrilling feeling of being about to fall.
It was this unprecedented sense of presence that allowed Ye Han and all the bridge officers to witness the most shocking sailing scene.
Just as everyone was immersed in the scene before them, Luo Qi suddenly exclaimed: "Look, the international fleet!"
Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look in the direction he was pointing, and immediately saw a group of blurry black figures.
Ye Han saw the leading space carrier at a glance. With a glance, he actually saw six ships!
He Lu said in surprise: "Let me go, there are only so many light carriers? How many battleships did they send?"
Ye Han shook his head: "The boss didn't say it, but looking at this posture, it's just a lot more!"
Luo Qi zoomed in on the screen, and many details that he couldn't see clearly before were displayed in front of him one by one: "The one at the beginning is the flagship, right? It looks quite powerful... CVN-86?"
The battleship has a black-gray hull number painted under the bow. Because the color is similar to the paint on the hull, it can't be seen without looking carefully.
"It means nuclear power, which means the 86th ship." He Lu said.
"Oh no!" Luo Qi was immediately shocked, "There are 86 ships? Do they have so many space carriers?"
Ye Han said: "They include the navy's aircraft carriers, the ones on the water."
Luo Qi suddenly realized: "Let me tell you, if they have so many motherships, why bother with the alien mushrooms? Wouldn't it be over if they just push A across?"
Everyone was amused by Luo Qi's words, and the atmosphere on the bridge seemed much more relaxed.
He Lu smiled and said: "You don't know, right? The key is not the hull number, but the name of the ship. This battleship is called the Enterprise, have you heard of it?"
Luo Qi nodded: "Of course I've heard of it. It's the spaceship in the American movie. It's the one that always suffers the most. Does this have anything to do with that?"
"Of course!" He Lu said, "Let's put it this way, the Yankees particularly like the name Enterprise. There were several aircraft carriers named Enterprise in the past. Now that there is a space carrier, how could they not use it?"
"Is there such a thing?" Luo Qi was stunned, "Can the ship names be used in turn over and over again?"
"That's what they are used to." He Lu said, "If you look further back, CVN-87, that's the USS Discovery; 88, the USS Intrepid; 89, the USS Lexington; 91, the USS Yorktown... most of them are
Inherited from generation to generation.”
He Lu counted seven or eight names in a row, and Luo Qi's eyes widened as he listened: "I've heard them all... holy shit, what is that?"
