After half a month's journey, Lone Wolf successfully arrived at Beiyuezhou. After entering orbit around the moon, the engine that had been working for more than ten days went out.
The technicians on the ship immediately began maintenance, and all systems on the ship were carefully checked. If any problems were found, they were solved immediately to ensure that there would be no problems with the warship.
One of the most important items is the propulsion system. However, the temperature of the propeller is too high and the engine temperature must be lowered before a comprehensive overhaul can be carried out.
This kind of inspection has been done once in Beichenzhou. If there are still no problems in this inspection, the quality of the No. 3 super engine will be considered to have passed the test.
While undergoing a comprehensive overhaul, every time the Lone Wolf flew over Beiyue Continent, it would airdrop a batch of supplies from Beichen Continent to Beiyue Continent. However, even the captain Ye Han was not qualified to know the specific contents.
The Lone Wolf not only needs to airdrop supplies, but also receives supplies from Beiyuezhou. Moreover, Beiyuezhou has already prepared and the supplies have been launched into orbit in advance. The Lone Wolf only needs to rotate around the moon while continuously moving the orbit.
Just collect the supplies above.
Both of these are major events, but they are also labor-intensive tasks. Commander Ye Han only needs to sit on the bridge and there is no need for him to charge on the front lines.
He didn't care about this. The military also had a tradition in this regard, but there were so many bridge officers on the bridge. Even he, the captain, ran to help. How could the other bridge officers sit still?
Ye Han was staying in the bridge, flipping through information boredly, when a communication interface suddenly popped up on the side, and Supply Chief Gong Jian appeared on the virtual screen.
Ye Han's eyes moved to the communication interface: "What's the matter?"
Gong Jiandao: "Captain, I just received the supply list from Beiyuezhou. The supplies handed to us are more than double the original plan. The space inside the ship is simply not enough, even if all available space is used.
, it’s also a big difference!”
Ye Han immediately frowned: "No way...you continue to receive supplies, and I'll ask about the situation!"
"yes!"
The communication interface disappeared, and Ye Han tilted his head: "Han Libo!"
"Arrived!" With this reply, the figure of communications staff officer Han Libo appeared on the screen in front of Ye Han.
"Have you received the supply list given above?"
"received!"
"show me!"
Han Libo immediately transferred a document to Ye Han.
Ye Han opened it and was a little dumbfounded.
The situation was even more serious than Gong Jian said. He actually saw an external cabin on the list!
That thing is similar to a container and can be temporarily hung on a transport ship. The advantage is that it can improve the transportation capacity of the transport ship, but the disadvantage is that it seriously slows down the speed of the transport ship.
He Lu also saw this document and whispered: "Captain, with so many cabins attached, our speed will be much slower. It is impossible to reach Jupiter as planned!"
Ye Han closed the virtual screen with a swipe of his finger: "I'll ask about the situation first." He didn't call Han Libo, but sent a message directly to the headquarters.
The communication was quickly connected, and Wu Han's old face appeared on the screen... He was always a little older, but paired with a decent military uniform, he could still wear that unique military spirit no matter how old he was.
"Chief!" Ye Han greeted quickly.
Wu Han was happy when he saw Ye Han: "It's you, kid. You're quite calm. I'll be waiting for you here!"
Ye Han immediately shrank back what he wanted to say: "Chief, do you have something to ask me about?"
Wu Han said seriously: "Your mission has changed."
Ye Han suddenly felt something in his heart: "Chief, promise to complete the task!"
"Stop shouting slogans at me!" Wu Han didn't accept this at all.
Ye Han laughed: "Chief, what exactly is the mission?"
Wu Han sighed and said, "You know everything about the Comet Battle, right?"
"Clear!" Ye Han said without hesitation.
He didn't dare to say anything else, but he had carefully read all the briefings related to the battle, and he didn't dare to talk about them by heart. He could definitely remember the general content.
Wu Handao: "The Comet Battle showed us a lot of problems. The first was the Second Turkish Fleet. According to our analysis, this fleet had no intention of attacking the earth from the beginning. Their goal was probably to hold back our main combat force.
, and then launched a sneak attack through the Comet, which has been confirmed through the Comet Battle."
"So the core mission of the expedition fleet must be appropriately modified. The fleet must intercept all comets coming from the direction of Saturn while fighting against the enemy. This is a very difficult task and requires a large number of super nuclear bombs."
Ye Han suddenly said: "I understand!"
Wu Han said again: "You can send this batch of supplies directly to Ceres, where we have our logistics base."
Ye Han was a little surprised: "Aren't you sending Mars?"
Wu Han glared at Ye Han: "Are you stupid again? Mars is jointly developed, not only our people, but also the United States. Why send such important materials to Mars?"
"Understood!" Ye Han replied quickly, but sighed in his heart.
The coalition forces are highly unified on the issue of fighting aliens, but they are not so harmonious in other aspects.
When super battleships came out, the base group had always been coveting super engine technology. But how could Beidu just sell the technology that it took so much effort to develop?
The Northern Capital was very unhappy with Washington over this matter. Although they still remained united on the issue of fighting aliens, in fact they had long been estranged from each other.
This can be seen from the formation of the Seventh Fleet. The expeditionary force was originally supposed to be jointly formed by various countries. All warships came from the Beiyuezhou Fleet.
It is impossible for Beidu to ask the base group to join the expedition fleet, and the base group will not take the initiative to join in. The result is that Beidu will form the seventh fleet of the expeditionary force, and the base group will gather all the warships and send them to the asteroid belt.
Ye Han could completely imagine that if it weren't for the powerful alien enemy, Beijing and Washington might have been in trouble, and they might even have started fighting.
He couldn't help but worry. The two sides could still maintain cooperation for now, but what about the future? After driving away the aliens, in which direction should the relationship between the two parties develop?
All thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, and Ye Han asked doubtfully: "Chief, what happens after the supplies are delivered? Should we continue flying to Jupiter, or do we have other arrangements?"
Wu Han waved his hand and said: "We won't go to Jupiter for the time being. Let's deal with the comet with the expeditionary force first. It's too dangerous for other warships to go there. A super battleship is the most suitable."
"Yes... Chief, but with so much supplies, we won't be able to increase our speed!"
"Do I still need your reminder?" Wu Han said angrily, "Don't worry, the comet is still far away from the asteroid belt. The expeditionary force can hold on for a while, so you can just rush over as usual."
