The moon quietly appeared from the right side of the porthole, moved quickly to the other side of the porthole, and then quickly disappeared from the left side of the porthole.
Ye Han retracted his gaze from the porthole and turned to the busy figure in the ward. The only feeling he felt was that of wonder.
It had been several days since the Second Fleet returned to Earth, but when Ye Han woke up this time, what he saw was not the Kunlun's narrow hibernation cabin, but a spacious and bright ward, as well as his wife's familiar face.
From participating in the departure of the First Fleet to the return of the Second Fleet, Ye Han participated in two Jupiter battles by accident, which took two years and five months.
Two years is not a long time, but the changes are not small.
Beiyuezhou Base is no longer the purely industrial base that was trapped in a corner, but a moon city with over 100,000 residents, more than a hundred affiliated mining sites, and industrial zones, with tentacles covering more than half of the moon.
After expansion and transformation, the orbital factory is no longer a place dedicated to building warships, but a space base integrating scientific research, manufacturing, and maintenance. It is the home port of the Beiyuezhou Fleet, euphemistically called the "Moon Palace".
The ring-shaped moon palace base structure is like a wheel, rotating once every half an hour, using centrifugal force to generate one-sixth of the standard gravity, which is roughly equal to the moon's gravity.
After the Second Fleet returned to Earth, Huo Qiang immediately arranged manpower to transfer the sleeping officers and soldiers on the battleship to the Yuegong Base Affiliated Hospital.
The environment here is no worse than a large hospital on the ground. Anyway, there are usually few patients, so it is perfect for the rehabilitation of expeditionary officers and soldiers.
However, Huo Qiang's good intentions almost turned out to be bad - after hibernating in a weightless environment for a long time, the human physiological state is very fragile, and the gravity of the Moon Palace Base is a huge test. Fortunately, timely treatment prevented any loss of life.
Huo Qiang corrected his mistake when he realized it, immediately revised his order and sent the soldiers of the expeditionary force to the weightless zone near the axis for treatment.
After Ye Han regained consciousness, he recovered in the weightless area for two days before entering the general ward of the hospital. It was also here that he met his wife after two years of absence.
Of course, in the past two and a half years, Ye Han has been sleeping most of the time, and it feels like we have been apart for two months at most.
Ye Han felt that Bai Xiaoting was not as happy to see him as he had imagined, but rather depressed. After repeated questioning, he found out that Professor Qin left the earth half a year ago due to heart problems and now lives in Beiyue Continent. He hopes that the low gravity of the moon will reduce the load on the heart.
Reversed Professor Qin's condition.
In order to take care of the professor, Bai Xiaoting lifted her hibernation for more than half a year.
However, the professor's condition did not improve with the changes in the environment. Even with Bai Xiaoting's care, he could barely survive for half a year. The professor had to consider transplanting a heart or switching to an artificial heart.
At an old man's age, no matter which option he chooses, the risks of surgery are not generally high.
Ye Han was very surprised. With Professor Qin's age and heart, how could he possibly leave the earth in a spaceship. The answer Bai Xiaoting gave was beyond his expectation. Professor Qin injected a small amount of hibernating hormone to lower his physiological state and then successfully launched into space.
There are many similar cases in Beiyuezhou. Bai Xiaoting even suggested that Professor Qin inject hibernin and wait until medical technology is sufficient to treat his condition, or until a breakthrough in artificial heart technology is achieved before resuscitating him for corresponding treatment.
The professor's health cast a shadow over Ye Han's return. Bai Xiaoting, who was originally lively and very emotional, has become much calmer in the past six months, as if she is a different person. After a few days of getting along with Ye Han, she is very happy.
Not adaptable.
But he likes to see Bai Xiaoting's gentle look, because she is now more like a virtuous wife, rather than the savage girlfriend who is full of personality and always self-centered - two years ago, she would never be like this
Sitting quietly next to Ye Han.
Time makes people grow, and setbacks make people mature.
The knock on the door interrupted Ye Han's thoughts. He turned back to look at the door. Bai Xiaoting pressed Ye Han's shoulder: "Please come in!"
The door opened, and Xiao Yuan jumped in with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm here... Captain, I'm here to see you!"
"Come on, you're not alone!" Chi Wei pushed Xiao Yuan dissatisfied, then a smile appeared on his face, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Come in quickly." Bai Xiaoting let the two people into the ward and asked them to sit by the bed. She first helped Ye Han up and leaned against the bed with pillows, then poured two glasses of water and sent them over.
It's different when there's gravity. As long as you're careful, you can live like you do on earth.
"Sister-in-law, stop working so hard. We are not outsiders." Xiao Yuan didn't look outsiders at all.
"That's right, sister-in-law, don't worry about us two." Chi Wei rarely agreed with Xiao Yuan.
Bai Xiaoting smiled and didn't answer. She sat by the bed and held Ye Han's hand.
Ye Han smiled at his wife, turned around and asked weakly: "Why are you two getting involved together?"
Chi Wei chuckled: "He is my deputy now!"
Ye Han was extremely surprised: "Xiao Yuan, have you also transferred to Beiyuezhou?"
"No, I am transferred to the Beiyuezhou Fleet...Captain, you don't know yet, right? The motorized infantry has been reorganized again and divided into two. One half belongs to the 6th Army and is still called the motorized infantry, and the other half becomes the airborne troops and returns to the space fleet.
, called Space 6 Team."
"Hell paratroopers?" Ye Han was slightly surprised.
"That's the thing. It's essentially the same thing, but it's not called that." Xiao Yuan felt aggrieved, "That's what the Yankees call it. Captain, you know that those officials in Beidou are so old-fashioned that they don't call them Hell Paratroopers or Space Paratroopers."
, Orbital paratroopers and the like can be used as well, even if they are called commandos, it sounds better than calling them Team 6, but those particularly majestic names have been thrown away by Beidu as dregs, and they will not be used on us at all!"
"That's true." Ye Han smiled in agreement, "Our tradition is a bit old-fashioned."
"More than just a little? Look at how old this is!" Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, stop talking useless words. You are the only one who complains the most. How can you come up with so many weird words!" Chi Wei gave Xiao Yuan a hard look.
Xiao Yuan complained dissatisfied: "Captain, look, he dares to stare at me now, has he turned over, right? If I had known you were this kind of person, I should have taken care of you in the beginning!"
"Tch, I'm afraid of you. I'll take care of you when I get back soon!" Chi Wei raised his fist in demonstration.
Ye Han chuckled: "How are the brothers? Liu Bin is lucky enough to come back with me. We both have a narrow escape from death. We are so damn lucky to be able to come back alive."
"I just saw him." Xiao Yuan showed a lewd smile, "He is hooking up with the nurse. Captain, tell me, this kid can't even get out of bed... Haha!"
