Separated by a distance of 380,000 kilometers, Wu Han and Ye Han met again in the communication. Commander Wu did not delay at all and went straight to the point without hesitation: "Ye Han, I have read your report.
After that, according to the instructions of your superiors, your mission has been completed. You can return after transferring the scientific expedition team to Qingtang."
"Yes!" Ye Han agreed, but immediately looked embarrassed, "Chief, where are we going back?"
"Of course it's Ningwuguan, where else could it be?" Wu Han said unhappily.
Even though the orbital airborne force is only newly established, this force has been established according to the standards of strategic duty from the beginning. If this force had not just been formed, how could a force of this level be used for a task such as rescuing a scientific expedition team?
Of course, such a force cannot stay outside forever. Now that the mission has been completed, it must be withdrawn as soon as possible.
Ye Han quickly corrected himself: "No, I mean, how can we withdraw!"
If it had been before, he wouldn't have had to ask at all, he would have definitely taken the orbital elevator back to space.
But today is different from the past. Calidan Island has long fallen into the hands of aliens, and the orbital elevators have been forced to evacuate. Although the transportation between heaven and earth has not been cut off, it is not as convenient and fast as in previous years.
Wu Handao: "There are three alternative plans now. One is to mobilize the Feitian and launch directly from Qingtang; the second is to go south to Jianchang and take the rocket to the launch center; the last is to take the big river, enter the sea and take the warship back to the Qiongzhou launch center."
Ye Han was stunned: "Chief, I don't understand!"
"It's very simple. There are only three methods. You can choose how to proceed!"
"Ah?" Ye Han was completely confused, "Chief, why should I choose by myself?"
Wu Han didn't answer and asked: "What do you think is the difference between these methods?"
Ye Han said hesitantly: "The Feitian is the fastest and the cost is relatively low, but we do not have absolute air supremacy. The aircraft stays in the air for a long time and has a high chance of being attacked, so it is more dangerous to fly on the Feitian. The distance to Jianchang is medium, but the stay in the air is short.
It is safer than Feitian, but the disadvantage is that it costs the most; Qiongzhou has the lowest launch cost and the shortest stay in the air, but the distance is too far and it has to cross half of the country, which is a big trouble."
Wu Handao: "The three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. We have studied it and can't say which method is the best, so I leave the decision-making power in your hands and let you decide on your own. It is best to use democratic centralism. We will report the results after they come out."
Come here and I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible."
"Understood!" Ye Han said.
"Okay, that's it, hurry up."
After the communication ended, Ye Han immediately called the team members together. After everyone arrived, Ye Han repeated the above meaning: "This is the situation. If you have any opinions, please raise them now. No one has any opinions, so I will make the decision myself.
"
Xiao Yuan was the first to stand up: "Captain, I have something to say."
Ye Han nodded: "Tell me."
Xiao Yuandao: "I think the Feitian should be excluded first. This thing is not only dangerous, but it also requires air supremacy. In terms of cost, it is not much better than the rocket. I don't think we need to take this risk."
After speaking, Xiao Yuan turned around and asked the soldiers: "What do you think?"
Many people began to nod, feeling that Kongtianhao was unreliable.
Ye Han declined to comment: "Where are the others? What other ideas do you have? You can say Feitianhao, or you can say something else."
Luo Qi said: "Captain, I also think that the Feitian is not good. Even the rocket is better than the Feitian. It is best to return to Qiongzhou."
His words immediately resonated with some soldiers and they expressed their support.
"That's not entirely true, right?" Ouyang Ping said, "Electromagnetic orbits also have to be launched, and the flight time is not much shorter than that of a rocket. However, there are many bugs and light bugs in Qiongzhou. If you ask me, Qiongzhou is the most dangerous place."
This view also won the approval of some people. Fighters who supported different views were divided into different camps, and they argued endlessly.
Ye Han interrupted impatiently: "Shut up, everyone, tell everyone you have something to say, don't chirp like a girl!"
The soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, but after laughing, they all shut their mouths, and no one said another nonsense.
Xiao Yuan tried to suggest: "Otherwise, let's choose Jianchang? If the cost is low, what does it have to do with us? Just pick a set of armor, and the cost is not much lower than that of a rocket. Isn't it a joke that we talk about cost here?
?”
Ouyang Ping retorted: "The cost is not the point. The point is that the straight-line distance from here to Jianchang is more than a thousand kilometers. The actual distance is more than 2,000 kilometers, and the plane cannot be used. Is it possible that we have to drive all the way there?"
Luo Qi said: "It doesn't matter if you drive there. The key is that the further south you go, the more bugs there will be. We can't fight all the way there, right?"
This team was able to reach Qingtang from the Sea of Death because it is in the vast and sparsely populated west. But what about Jianchang? It is the southern part of Shu, with mountains and forests, higher temperatures, and giant insects all the time.
Kill all the way through the most frequently hit disaster areas? How can it be that simple?
A soldier suddenly said: "Captain, can you think of another way?"
Ye Han was startled: "What can I do?"
The soldier said: "I think we should look at the problem from another angle."
"It's interesting. So tell me, from what angle do you view this issue?"
The soldier said: "We are all arguing about which method is better and which method is more dangerous. Can't we start from the danger itself and reduce the risk?"
"Continue!" Ye Han encouraged.
The encouraged soldiers thought more clearly: "For example, the Feitian has many shortcomings, but we don't have to focus on the shortcomings. For example, if it rains before taking off, we can use the clouds to protect the aircraft, right?"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and were all shocked by the soldier's idea - what shocked everyone was not the idea itself, but the soldier's strange way of thinking about solving the problem.
Xiao Yuan looked at Ye Han cautiously: "Is it possible?"
"I think there is hope." Ye Han said, "Your name is Qi Bing, right?"
"Yes!" Qi Bing was a little embarrassed. He wanted to talk to Ye Han, but he didn't know where to start.
Ye Han nodded and said, "Yes, do you have any other ideas?"
"Yes, but not very mature." Qi Bing said.
"It's okay, let's talk about it." Ye Han encouraged.
Qi Bing clarified his thoughts: "If the Feitian is really not possible, I suggest taking the water route! My home is in Shu, along the river all the way to the west. There is a place to go ashore. After that, fifty or sixty kilometers to the east is the Minjiang River. Follow the river straight down to
Go west from Xuzhou and walk along the Dadu River. After landing, you can walk more than 100 kilometers to Jianchang."
While listening, Ye Han pulled up the map of southern Shu on his personal terminal and searched it according to Qi Bing's idea. Sure enough, he found a river in the north of Jianchang.
Sorry, there is only one update today. Firstly, I have no ideas and state of mind. Secondly, this chapter has taken too much energy. I just looked at the map for more than an hour. Putting aside technical issues and just considering the geographical situation, this can indeed be done in reality.
——Issues such as water volume and waterfalls are considered separately!
