The familiar feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body, and the lost consciousness rolled back like a tide. Ye Han suddenly realized that he was saved!
When he opened his eyes, the dim light stung his eyes, so he could only close his eyes again, and then slowly opened them again after a while to adapt.
"You're awake, how do you feel?" a voice said.
Ye Han moved his mouth, but no sound came out. He immediately realized that his vocal cords had not recovered yet.
He was not in a hurry to speak, he just glanced at the blurry figure and showed a reluctant smile, indicating that he was fine.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine soon." The man said, untying his restraints, and Ye Han floated lightly from the hospital bed, slowly moving his hands and feet while looking around.
He didn't know where this place was, but it looked like it should be the medical bay of a battleship.
The medical cabin is quite large. In addition to Ye Han, there are more than a dozen hospital beds in the cabin. There are also many companions who escaped on the same landing craft as him. This discovery made him feel relieved and waited for his body functions to return to normal.
His vision was the first to recover, and he saw clearly a major officer wearing a red cross in front of him. He tried to clear his throat, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is this place?"
The military doctor smiled: "This is the Kunlun, the flagship of the expedition fleet."
"Expedition fleet?" Ye Han suddenly froze, "You mean expedition fleet?"
"Yes, expedition fleet."
"How is that possible?" Ye Han immediately remembered that short but tragic war.
The military doctor seemed to remember something: "Oh, to be precise, the Second Fleet of the Expeditionary Force."
"The second fleet?" Ye Han muttered and repeated, "What about the first fleet?"
The military doctor solemnly said: "The First Fleet has been sacrificed on the battlefield of Jupiter... Have you forgotten? Do you need me to check you out?"
"No, no need." Ye Han refused, thought for a while and asked, "Our matter... I mean, does everyone know about the First Fleet?"
"You should know...I'm just a military doctor."
Ye Han nodded: "That's good."
His brain has resumed functioning. This is not a casual question.
If the Earth does not know what happened to the First Fleet and sends a second expedition fleet, then the outcome of this fleet is likely to be the same as that of the First Fleet.
On the contrary, if the Earth is well aware of the situation of the First Fleet and still insists on sending the Second Fleet, then there must be some deep-seated meaning.
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better, and suddenly asked again: "Where is this place?"
The military doctor was startled and looked at Ye Han blankly, not knowing how to answer.
Ye Han twitched his lips: "I mean, where is the fleet currently?"
"Asteroid belt!" the military doctor replied without thinking, "I can't tell where exactly."
Ye Han nodded: "How long have I slept?"
The military doctor began to be stunned, and Ye Han asked again: "The current year, month and day!"
“September 14, 2025!”
"September 14th...it's been almost eight months!" Ye Han sighed with emotion, "By the way, how did you rescue us?"
The landing craft flew from Jupiter to Earth, and the second fleet flew from Earth to Jupiter. According to Ye Han's experience, the relative speed between the two should exceed one hundred kilometers per second.
At such a speed, even a slight collision would result in the ship being destroyed and people perishing. He really couldn't figure out what method the Second Fleet used to get the landing craft onto the battleship.
The military doctor replied: "We have a special rescue boat..."
"Can this thing slow down to catch up with us, then turn around and catch up with the fleet?"
"Yes!" the military doctor replied affirmatively, "it just takes longer."
"How long did it take?"
"That adds up to a dozen or so," the military doctor said. "I heard that the fleet discovered your location half a month ago. In order to save you, the fleet even made a special circle."
"Going in circles?" Ye Han was even more shocked, "Did you just say 2025 or 2125?"
"What, what's wrong?" The military doctor was extremely surprised.
"It's only been a year, and the First Fleet doesn't even dare to turn a corner. Now you tell me that the Second Fleet has made a circle. How much fuel will it take to use it?"
The military doctor suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing: "Chief, the Second Fleet has indeed undergone many changes. Let's talk about this engine. We are now using nuclear-powered engines. It doesn't take much trouble to go around in a circle. The same goes for the rescue boats.
With nuclear power, it can fly for half a month without even using two taels of fuel."
"Is this nuclear power?" Ye Han couldn't believe his ears.
"Except for the battleships, only the rescue boats are nuclear-powered." The military doctor explained, "I don't know the specifics."
"Hey, it would be great if we also had nuclear power."
The military doctor quickly changed the subject: "Chief, Commander Gao has already explained that he asked you to come over. He seems to want to ask what's going on."
"I know." Ye Han nodded and started to put on clothes.
The military doctor reached out to help, but Ye Han flatly refused.
Just kidding, he has his own hands and feet, and he is not an old man. Why does he need help from others to put on his clothes?
It doesn't matter if it's a pretty little nurse. What kind of hand can a rough old man stretch out? I'll chop off which paw you stretch out!
Ye Han, who was full of resentment, kept cursing the expedition fleet with only rough men in his heart, and he didn't stop until he left the infirmary.
The Kunlun is very big, with various passages extending in all directions. Ye Han, who left the infirmary, headed to the headquarters under the guidance of the sailors. He floated for a while without getting anywhere. He felt that this warship was bigger than the ant nest under Linyi.
complex.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Han finally saw the headquarters sign. The sailor leading the way shouted a report. After the door opened, he stepped aside and let Ye Han into the headquarters.
The headquarters is not large, but there are many people. Various complex data charts are displayed on the screen wall. In the center of the headquarters is a table-like display platform with a length and width of more than one meter. The display on the platform looks like it is out of focus.
In the three-dimensional picture, several officers gathered around the platform all had three-dimensional glasses on their faces.
Seeing Ye Han enter the door, the only major general among the officers took off his glasses and showed a happy smile: "Hey, look who is here!"
"Lao Gao?" Ye Han was shocked, "Why is it you? How come you became the commander of the fleet?"
Gao Kai spread his hands: "I can't always be the director of the base, right?"
Ye Han smiled: "That's true."
The director of the base is not that easy to be. There were many objective reasons why Gao Kai was able to take that position. When the expedition fleet set off, the Beiyuezhou base was already very big. At that time, it was reported that Gao Kai was about to be transferred.
There was news, but before the news was confirmed, the expedition fleet left.
Now that I see Gao Kai here, it is obvious that Gao Kai has been transferred and promoted. He must have received at least half a year of pre-job training during this year.
