587 Expedition Preparation

Ye Han, who walked into the spaceship, would never have thought that someone would cause such a scandal after he left. At this time, his heart was filled with guilt and he could no longer hold anything else.

He didn't come back to his senses until the spacecraft started.

The fully enclosed spaceship could not see the situation in the airport, but there was a feeling that dominated him in his meditation, looking at a certain point in the base.

That was the direction of home, and there was his beloved girl there... But he was about to leave. Could that ordinary dormitory still be considered home?

Thinking that Bai Xiaoting would spend nearly two thousand days and nights alone from today on, Ye Han's heart felt like a knife.

The spacecraft gradually accelerated, and the pushing feeling became stronger and stronger. The strong noise coming from outside the spacecraft awakened Ye Han's consciousness. Through the porthole directly in front of the spacecraft, he saw that the passage outside the ship was rapidly retreating.

The spacecraft was getting faster and faster, the wind was rushing through the vacuum passage, and the noise coming from outside the spacecraft became more and more like an electric drill drilling into the wall. After a few minutes, Ye Han finally saw a night sky with shining stars.

He knew that the last section of the No. 2 orbit was not a vertical shaft, but an inclined shaft pointing toward the sky. Seeing the sky outside the shaft meant that the spacecraft was about to leave the launch silo.

Just as this idea came to Ye Han's mind, the starry sky that was still far away suddenly enlarged, the annoying noise stopped suddenly, and the retreat channel could no longer be seen outside the port window, leaving only a black sky dotted with starlight.

The speed seemed to no longer exist, and the movement of the spacecraft was not felt at all. It seemed that there was nothing else in the world except this spaceship. It was not until the lights outside the orbital factory came into view that everything became alive again.

The spacecraft entered orbit around the moon and began to approach the Moon Bay spacecraft under the control of the base.

Ye Han had long known about the Hongwan series built by the orbital factory, but this was the first time he saw the true face of the 024-class battleship. His eyes were immediately attracted by several huge figures suspended near the orbital factory.

Ye Han knew the statistics of the 024-class destroyer by heart—the captain was 146 meters long and had a displacement of 4 tons!

This displacement is the tonnage of a frigate for a surface ship. However, space battleships use foam alloy extensively, and the battleship is much larger than a surface ship of the same tonnage. Therefore, the 024 class is a destroyer rather than a frigate.

The shape of the 024 class is roughly a cuboid, but it is not a regular cuboid. The bow is slightly narrower than the stern. There are seven tandem stepped double laser turrets above the bow and three below; there are 20 laser turrets at the rear of the battleship.

Four large electromagnetic engines and two power cabins are located on both sides of the stern of the ship, each with a naval metal reactor.

Because the engine room and power compartment take up a lot of space, only three twin laser turrets are installed at the stern. There is a single-tube 100mm semi-buried turret on each side of the battleship, each with 240 rounds of ammunition.

.

In terms of defensive weapons, the ship is equipped with eight 1020 close-in defense cannons and eight laser close-in defense cannons.

Under normal circumstances, a warship equipped with two 1020 close-in defense guns can meet the defense needs of the warship. Considering the special situation of the expeditionary force, the military increased the number of close-in defense guns eight times!

The reason why laser cannons and ordinary naval guns are mixed is because the military does not understand alien weapons and equipment at all. Although laser cannons are advanced, it is difficult to say whether they are useful against aliens.

Laser cannon is one of mankind's most advanced weapons. Although it is the most mature weapon system, it is still the most common artillery.

The artillery installed on the warship is not used for fighting, but as a last resort to resist the enemy. Once the warship uses the 1020 close-in defense gun, it means that the warship will have to fight the enemy hand-to-hand and fight for its life.

Combined with the main and secondary guns, each 024-class ship has twenty-nine turrets of various types. There are also twelve 4x6 vertical launch modules installed throughout the ship, equipped with 288 missiles of various types.

One third of them contain nuclear warheads.

In addition, there are smoke grenades, several rocket launchers, and electronic countermeasures equipment placed outside the ship. The weapons and equipment all over the ship arm the 024 class to the teeth.

Due to well-known reasons, the appearance of the four 024-class ships is exactly the same, and the dark silhouettes that fall into Ye Han's eyes are exactly the same. Only the hull number painted on the bow side of the ship is slightly different.

According to the order from their superiors, the spacecraft that Ye Han and others were on made contact with the bridge of the Yuewan, then slowly approached the Yuewan, successfully docked with the Yuewan, and immediately transferred the crew and supplies to the warship.

After Ye Han entered the battleship, he was immediately invited into the bridge by the sailors waiting at the entrance. The captain laughed when he saw Ye Han: "We meet again!"

"Captain Huang?" Ye Han was shocked. The captain of the Yuewan was actually Huang Bo, the former captain of the Buzhoushan.

Muttering secretly that there were so many acquaintances, Ye Han quickly said hello.

Huang Bo said cheerfully: "I have a lot to do here, so you sit down first and we will talk later when you are done."

"It's okay, it's okay, you are busy with your work!" Ye Han quickly agreed and floated to his position under Huang Bo's guidance, fixing himself with safety and making himself as insignificant as possible.

After only listening for a short while, Ye Han understood that Huang Bo was busy replenishing supplies for the battleship.

Material preparations for the expedition fleet have been going on for some time. Thousands of tons of materials were continuously launched from the Earth and Beiyue Continent, and then sent to the battleships for careful storage in categories.

Within a few days, Rainbow Bay, Dew Bay and Summer Bay quickly completed material preparations, and the warships' warehouses were filled with ammunition and supplies.

However, the Yuewan just completed its sea trial a few days ago. Just a few hours ago, the warship was inspecting the condition of the hull in the dock of the Orbital Factory. Shortly after leaving the dock, the Orbital Factory was replenishing supplies for the warship.

Replenishing supplies for the Yuewan is also one of the two tasks before the expedition fleet sets off.

Another task is to install booster rockets for four warships.

At the same time that the Moon Bay was replenishing supplies, the drones under the Orbital Factory sent the booster rockets that had been prepared to the vicinity of several battleships. After accurately fine-tuning the positions of the booster rockets, the aerospace vehicles walking on the surface of the battleships

The crew members fixed the booster rocket on the battleship with their own hands.

The length of the booster rocket exceeds one hundred meters, and each battleship must be equipped with eight booster rockets. Because the surface of the battleship is uneven, the booster rocket is not a straight up and down cylindrical shape like ordinary rockets, but is based on the shape of the surface of the battleship.

Adaptable processing is performed to completely fit the shape of the battleship surface.

After all the rockets were installed in place, the main body of the battleship was surrounded by eight rockets. At first glance, it looked like a terrorist about to carry out a suicide attack.

Booster rockets are disposable consumables that are discarded after use. After being installed on the surface of the battleship, all the hatches leading to the outside of the ship are blocked by the rockets. Therefore, the Moon Bay must complete supplies before installing the rockets. Several people who have completed the preparations have already completed the preparations.

A battleship, you have to wait for the Moon Bay for a while... Friends who read books, you can search for "" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
