Looking up, the Dew Bay was floating a few hundred meters away on the port side. The space suit did not have a telescope function, and the boatswain could only see a blurry shadow with his naked eyes.
He only received the maintenance list of the Hongwan and did not know the damage of the Dewan. He turned around and saw the Marines and couldn't help but ask: "Can you see the Dewan?"
The radio interference is serious. Even if the two of them are facing each other, there will be extremely strong noise in the radio. As long as the distance is slightly further, the radio becomes a decoration.
"Yes!" The Marine nodded.
"How is the situation?" the boatswain asked anxiously.
"It's not very good. It's almost the same as us. I saw a turret being built over there."
The boatswain sighed: "The No. 3 turret is no longer worth repairing. Let's go down."
The base of the No. 3 turret was cut into two halves, and the smaller half of the base was lost. Such damage would be impossible to repair before the battle began.
When the two men returned to the maintenance channel, the No. 6 turret had been repaired.
The entire 024-class ship adopts a modular design, and the disassembly and assembly of the turret is very convenient. The turret can be repaired by simply replacing damaged parts.
However, not all parts can be replaced under field conditions, and the space on the battleship is limited, so only some spare parts that are fragile and small in size can be carried.
Moreover, the weapons on the ship also need to consider radiation issues.
Although the radiation protection issue was also taken into consideration when designing ship-based weapons, the shell of the laser cannon is made of titanium alloy more than one centimeter thick, but the inside of the laser cannon is mainly composed of fragile and sensitive electronic components. The optical lens at the muzzle is one meter in diameter.
What's more, the laser cannon is dead. The longer it is exposed to the outside, the higher the chance of damage. Being able to be exposed for more than ten hours near Jupiter without any problems is considered a longevity.
No repairable turrets could be found on the bow of the ship. The boatswain and the soldiers repaired several damaged optical lenses and restored the view directly ahead of the battleship.
While the boatswain led the soldiers to make emergency repairs, other people were also responsible in other directions. The lost view of the bridge was gradually restored, and part of the lost firepower was also restored.
A harsh buzzer suddenly sounded in the bosun's ears. He immediately jumped up, floated in the air and shouted loudly: "The time is up, everyone should go back, go back quickly -"
The few people he brought out were scattered all over the bow of the ship, and his voice could not be heard at all. The boatswain immediately became anxious and grabbed the marines beside him: "Quickly, call them back!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me." The Marine agreed and made a few gestures to his two companions. The three men immediately flew out and called the scattered personnel back to the maintenance channel, and everyone flew back together.
The maintenance task was not completed yet, and the last few optical lenses needed to be replaced, but they ran out of time. Before leaving, the boatswain handed over this task to the marines.
Equipment needs to be protected from radiation, and fragile humans also have such needs.
The space suits worn by bosuns and soldiers are not the ordinary ones used on space stations or on the moon. They are heavy-duty space suits with thicker and heavier fabrics, specially designed for expedition missions. A radiation protection layer is added to the fabric to prevent radiation.
Achieve the ultimate in human technology.
But even so, the radiation protection capability of the heavy-duty spacesuit is still very limited, and the working time of each exit cannot exceed half an hour, otherwise the spacesuit is in danger of failure.
The boatswain who hurried back to the airlock led everyone into the airlock. After the airlock was filled with air, he did not immediately open the middle door. Instead, he took off the radiation protection layer outside the spacesuit and put it into a special lead box to ensure
Only after there is no radiation all over the body can the central gate be opened.
After the spacesuit is bombarded by high-energy rays, the surface materials will undergo mutations under the bombardment of high-energy rays, causing the surface materials of the spacesuit to be contaminated with radiation, and the spacesuit will inevitably be contaminated with radiation dust. If a used spacesuit is penetrated into the pressure
area, the radiation on the spacesuit can directly turn the pressure area into a pollution area.
That is to say, the titanium alloy power armor worn by marines allows them to move outside the ship for a long time.
The boatswain really hopes that everyone in the expedition fleet can be equipped with a power armor, but the heavy spacesuits that cost tens of millions are only suitable for each person. The cost of power armor is several times that of the heavy spacesuits. How can it be fully popularized?
possible.
In other words, after the boatswain and his men retreated, there was no possibility of leaving the cabin, and the remaining maintenance tasks could only rely on those few marines.
The boatswain secretly prayed while taking off his space suit, hoping that the skills of the three marines would not be too fashionable.
While the boatswain withdrew from the pressure area, personnel from other directions also gradually withdrew, leaving only eight marines outside the pressure area to continue repairing the warship.
Yan Jing didn't expect these people to have much effect at all. He just held on to the idea of fixing a little bit, so he didn't withdraw the marines.
While all the officers and soldiers of the first squadron were working hard to make emergency repairs, the alien fleet was centered on Europa and was pressing in from several directions at the same time. However, they were always not far away and were gradually approaching the expedition fleet and approaching Europa.
The aliens' actions made Yan Jing believe in his own judgment even more, and he began to silently figure out how to break through the alien siege and fight for the slim chance of survival.
How can we hold back a huge enemy force with only two warships?
"Wang Xiaolei!" Yan Jing suddenly shouted.
"arrive!"
"How long does it take to get to Europa? Be precise."
"Twenty-two minutes."
"Where's the second team?"
"Twenty-nine minutes."
Seven minutes of time difference...can two dilapidated battleships hold up to seven minutes?
Yan Jing asked again: "Where are the enemies?"
"The nearest is a nine-minute flight away from our army. The enemy is still accelerating. The situation on Europa is unclear."
"Order, move forward at full speed!" Yan Jing gritted his teeth, "Don't the aliens want to force us to go to Europa? Then it will be as they wish!"
"Go ahead at full speed!" Hongwan started all engines, and all turrets that could still be used pointed sideways and forward.
Io is getting closer and closer, taking up an increasing proportion of the screen. When there are only five minutes left to sail from Io, dozens of alien warships lift off from the surface of Io. Only more than 20
It ascended into space within seconds and was escorted around Europa.
Yan Jing was shocked and his heart sank.
Such a large alien warship can actually take off directly from the surface of Europa. How powerful is this propulsion?
If an alien fleet flying to Earth uses this kind of power, how long will it take to fly to Earth?
Yan Jing did not dare to think about it anymore. He was afraid that he would be completely desperate in the face of the absolute strength of the aliens: "Order, launch smoke bombs, target Europa Zero, profile artillery fire - Luwan, remove the damaged power module
