On February 13, 2027, the eighth day of the first lunar month, Ye Han said goodbye to his reluctant wife and took a spacecraft into space with his comrades. Two hours after liftoff, the spacecraft arrived at Tiangong.
After resting on the Tiangong for more than an hour, the soldiers took a small transport ship and rushed to the moon.
The small transport ship was powerful and fast, and it only took a day and a half to arrive at the space city. Ye Han and a group of marines officially joined the third fleet of the expeditionary force.
After arranging food and accommodation, Ye Han contacted Bai Xiaoting immediately. The two stared at each other across the screen. Ye Han didn't want Bai Xiaoting to worry, so he smiled and said, "I'm here, and I'm in the battleship's dormitory now."
Bai Xiaoting asked in surprise: "Is there gravity?"
"The battleship is parked in the space city." Ye Han said.
As a senior military officer, Ye Han was assigned a single dormitory. Although the area was small, it belonged to him only.
Bai Xiaoting suddenly asked: "When will we set off?"
"We still have to wait a few days until everyone is here. I don't know the specific time," Ye Han said.
The fleet has completed preparations before departure, but due to the special nature of the expedition mission, all members of the Third Fleet are allowed to visit relatives. The Spring Festival has just ended, and fleet members are returning to work one after another.
A trace of sadness rose between Bai Xiaoting's eyebrows, but she quickly covered it up.
Ye Han pretended not to see it: "Didn't you say you went to the hospital for a checkup? What was the result?"
"I went and the blood test confirmed that I was pregnant, but the doctor said that the time was too short and nothing can be seen now. He asked me to go for an ultrasound in a few days."
"How many more days will it take?" Ye Han couldn't hide his disappointment. In a few days, the fleet will set off, and everyone will have to be injected with hibernation, and he will not be able to know the news.
"Don't worry, I'll let you know immediately if there's any news."
Ye Han smiled bitterly, and just as he was about to say something, a bell suddenly rang in the cabin.
Ye Han sighed helplessly: "Let's get together. I'll call you when I have time!"
"Go quickly." Bai Xiaoting smiled.
The communication was interrupted, so Ye Han hurried to the gathering and arrived at the briefing room in a short time.
When Ye Han walked in, the cabin was already filled with marines wearing tight-fitting uniforms - space on a battleship is precious, and the briefing room is very large, with rows of benches fixed on the floor, and more than a hundred soldiers sitting next to each other.
Everyone was crowded, and the briefing room was packed to the brim. Only the podium at the front had a little space.
Ye Han walked to the front row and was about to sit down when the cabin door opened again and two people walked in one after the other.
The man in front is Gao Kai, and behind him is an unknown major.
"Stand up!" Ye Han roared, and everyone stood up at the same time.
Gao Kai walked forward and pressed down with one hand: "Sit."
Ye Han turned back: "Sit!"
The soldiers sat down suddenly, their movements uniform.
Gao Kai walked to the middle of the podium, turned around and faced the soldiers: "I am Gao Kai, does anyone recognize me? Everyone knows me if no one speaks."
Ye Han twitched his lips, this joke was so cold.
Gao Kai added: "I only have one purpose for coming today, and that is to give you a detailed introduction to this mission. If I guess correctly, someone must have some connections to understand the situation. If you want me to say it, there is no need. If I don't say it, it's not enough."
It’s time for you to know.”
Ye Han was shocked. Gao Kai said this in front of so many people, he must have wanted to hit some people!
Gao Kai glanced over and continued: "Now, let me introduce the situation. The only mission of the Third Fleet is to stop Europa. According to the situation we have, the International Fleet has used all available methods.
, but it has never been effective, so we have to win by surprise."
"Why am I telling you this? That's because the main force this time is not the fleet, but you marines!"
Ye Han was suddenly startled and looked at Gao Kai with wide eyes.
The soldiers were also very surprised, and all eyes were focused on Gao Kai.
Gao Kai waved his hand and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly. I won't go into details. It's not that I don't want to, but it's useless to say it now. The rough plan is that the fleet is responsible for blocking the alien fleet and covering the landing of the landing ship on the ground.
Find a way to destroy the planetary engine!"
Having said this, Gao Kai turned his eyes to Ye Han: "Ye Han!"
"Here!" Ye Han stood up and stood at attention.
"The specific combat plan is up to you. Seek truth from facts and promote military democracy."
"yes!"
Gao Kai's eyes fell on the soldiers again: "Comrades, landing on Europa is very troublesome and dangerous, but if you don't do this, there will be no way to stop Europa. Let me give you a reassurance first!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the major officer who had been standing under the podium: "Let me introduce to you, this is Lin Yi, the captain of the Yushan landing ship!" (ps: guest appearance by book friend Dankeng Prince)
Lin Yi raised his hands and saluted in front of the soldiers.
Gao Kai said: "Lin Yi, tell everyone about Yushan."
"Yes!" Lin Yi agreed ably, walked up to the podium and said, "Yushan is a landing ship specially designed and built for landing on planets. It has thick armor, strong power, fast speed, good maneuverability, and high survivability. It is mainly used for
Landing on planets and recovering landing personnel fills the gap where our army does not have planetary landing ships!"
Gao Kai pouted: "I'm not asking you to endorse, I'm asking you to introduce the landing ship!"
"Yes!" Lin Yi agreed, thought for a while and then said, "This spacecraft mainly uses a landing craft to land. If necessary, it can also land directly on the planet's surface. However, the landing craft's weight is too high and it will no longer be able to fly after entering the atmosphere.
You will be a living target when you come out and land, so unless there are special circumstances, it is not recommended to use direct descent to land..."
Ye Han raised his right hand: "Wait a minute, I have a question!"
"Speak!" Gao Kai said.
"Isn't there a recovery and landing personnel? Why do I sound so worried?"
Lin Yidao: "It's like this. The design of the landing ship is different from the past. The warship is mainly divided into three parts: landing, staying in orbit and returning. When performing a mission, the warship is divided into two parts: landing and staying in orbit. Staying in orbit means staying on track. This part
Mainly the power system, I don’t need to say more about this, right?”
Seeing Ye Han nod, Lin Yi continued: "Let's focus on the landing. This part accounts for two-thirds of the landing ship, but the function of the landing platform is not to send people to the surface of the planet. Its function is actually to transport the return capsule
Send it to the ground."
"In my understanding, the landing module is a mobile launcher with a base! As for the return capsule, it is even simpler. It is actually a rocket placed on the landing platform! A landing ship only has one rocket. If it is used directly
The landing platform is airborne. If the rocket is damaged, it will be completely over, so the landing platform can only be used when recovering personnel... I don’t know if everyone understands what I say!”
