On July 14, 2027, the transformation of the first engineering ship was completed.
Time was running out. As soon as the spacecraft was completed, the already prepared crew took over the ship and drove the spacecraft for a two-hour trial. After confirming that there was no problem with the power system, the engineering ship set off immediately.
That is to say, human aerospace technology has made great progress, and spacecraft can depart anytime and anywhere. If the time is advanced a few years, any aircraft flying to Mars will have to wait for the nearest window period between the two planets!
If the engineering ship departs during the window period, it will only take one month to reach Mars. Now it will take an extra month to fly.
Not to mention a month, given the Earth's current position, it would take several months to wait for the window period. The military would rather spend a little more fuel and time to send the engineering ship to Mars in the shortest possible time. This is completely worth it.
The engineering ship was just the beginning. The Orbital Factory undertook the construction of all spacecraft in the firepower plan. In the following period, the Orbital Factory was fully operational, and more than a dozen super-engine ships alone were built at one go.
September 12, 2027, Third Fleet.
Just like a drowning person suddenly surfaced, Ye Han took a deep breath and woke up from his cold sleep. His thoughts gradually returned to his brain, and Ye Han began to restore the movement ability of his limbs according to standard procedures.
Looking left and right, he was the only one awake in the huge hibernation cabin. He suddenly had a bad premonition - if he returned to the earth, everyone would definitely wake up together. There are only two situations where he could wake up alone. One is that the spacecraft accidentally starts the wake-up procedure.
, the second is that the spacecraft received an order to revive someone!
Various speculations have been lingering in Ye Han's mind. As soon as he regained his mobility, he couldn't wait to leave the hibernation cabin. As soon as he floated into the corridor, the door of the next door also opened, and a person jumped out of the door, almost colliding with Ye Han.
Full of heart.
Ye Han grabbed the man's arm, and the two of them linked arms and floated in the corridor several times like bamboo dragonflies. Ye Han quickly grabbed the handle on the bulkhead and stopped the two people's mid-air social dance.
Down.
"Lin Yi? Are you awake too? Do you know what's going on?" Ye Han asked first.
Lin Yi shook his head blankly: "I don't know!"
Ye Han glanced behind Lin Yi: "Is there anyone else?"
"No more." Lin Yi said, "It's just me."
Ye Han was even more convinced of his guess: "Let's go to the bridge immediately."
The two people floated to the bridge one after another. Although they were not wearing flight equipment, after the Yushan performed the landing mission, the size of the spacecraft was reduced by two-thirds. It is the smallest spacecraft in the entire fleet. The hibernation cabin and the bridge are only
Two corridors and three decks away, it only took the two of them a few minutes to reach the bridge.
Lin Yi stopped outside the hatch and used his fingerprint to open the hatch. When the hatch was opened, all the lights in the bridge were turned on and all equipment was turned on automatically.
The two floated into the bridge. Lin Yi quickly got up and sat in the command chair. After fastening his seat belt, he pressed on the armrest. A thin screen fell in front of Lin Yi from above. Lin Yi's fingers were on the screen.
He clicked twice quickly to bring up the Yushan's communication records.
"Here!" Lin Yi pointed at the screen and said, "There was a communication record half an hour ago!"
Ye Han floated behind the command chair and stared at the screen curiously: "What's the content?"
Lin Yi clicked on the record, and a video window automatically popped up in the record. Lin Yi clicked again, and the video started playing.
Huo Qiang, dressed in military uniform, appeared in the video, with his hands folded on the desk in front of him. The heavy look in his eyes could be felt even across the screen: "Ye Han, are you going to Mars soon? I'm sorry,
Originally, the Yushan was supposed to come back with the Third Fleet, but the situation has changed, and the Yushan must stay on Mars!"
Ye Han and Lin Yi were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other subconsciously, and they both saw surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.
Huo Qiang on the screen continued: "Beidou has formulated a new plan to intercept Europa on Mars. I won't go into details about the specific situation. You can read the document yourself. What I want to say is that you must stay on Mars and wait.
Engineering ship, if nothing else happens, the engineering ship should arrive on Mars in seven days. I need you and your troops to cooperate with the engineering ship... Ye Han, I know that your lover is about to give birth, and I have no choice but to leave you on Mars at this time.
I will definitely make proper arrangements for your lover and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
At the end of the video, huge guilt eroded Ye Han's heart, and he felt bad all over.
He is a soldier, but he is also a husband and the father of his child. He has always hoped that he can be by Bai Xiaoting's side when the child is born. If he follows the Third Fleet back, there is still a chance to return to the earth in time, but God's will makes people
, if you stay on Mars at this time, Bai Xiaoting will definitely not be able to go back when she gives birth.
Ever since he joined the army, there have been rumors that his wife and children cannot return home, and that his parents cannot return home after their death. Even the protagonists of many legends are by his side, but he never expected that such a bloody experience would happen to him.
On the body.
During pregnancy, childbirth and confinement, the three stages when a woman needs a man the most, he was not by Bai Xiaoting's side. The thought of this made his heart feel as uncomfortable as a knife.
Lin Yi noticed something was wrong with Ye Han's expression and carefully asked softly: "Chief, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Han's face was gloomy: "It's okay, just pass the file to me!"
"Yes!" Lin Yi quickly agreed and immediately transferred the file to Ye Han's personal terminal.
Ye Han turned on the portable computer on his wrist, clicked on the file he had just received, and just floated in the air to read the content of the file.
He read very quickly, and in a short time he had a general understanding of the beginning, end and content of the Mars project. When he turned back, Lin Yi's eyes were still fixed on the screen.
Ye Han didn't care about it at all and asked directly: "How far is it from Mars?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and immediately called up the navigation data: "There are still two days of voyage left."
"The spaceship is handed over to you." Ye Han said, "I'll go back and study the plan."
"Don't worry." Lin Yi patted his chest confidently.
Ye Han nodded and left the bridge. Lin Yi took a deep breath and wiped his forehead without a drop of sweat: "Oh my god, I'm finally gone!"
Although Ye Han didn't say anything, anyone with eyes could see how low the pressure on his face was. No matter how stupid Lin Yi was, he knew that Ye Han was very resistant to the order he just received.
To be honest, he was also very dissatisfied with this order, but what could he do if he was dissatisfied?
Military orders are not empty words. Soldiers must carry out orders as long as they receive them. There is no reason to explain, and there is no room for conditions.
