The arrival of the child did not change Ye Han's life. His daily focus was still on the engineering boat and drilling rig. However, after returning to the dormitory every day, he would check the communication records immediately, share the video sent to him by Bai Xiaoting, and then send it to Bai Xiaoting.
Give a paragraph of reply.
Seemingly wanting Ye Han to participate in the process of taking care of the child, Bai Xiaoting told Ye Han everything about what time the child got up, what time he liked to sleep, how many diapers he changed, etc.
Taking care of children is very hard. Even if Aunt Qiao helps as much as possible, it is still very hard for Bai Xiaoting. It would be better if there is only one child. Two children bring double the joy but also double the fatigue.
Although Bai Xiaoting has never regretted it, Ye Han's heart has always been tormented by something. In his own words, every day on Mars, the guilt in his heart will increase.
As time went by, the number of underground wells needed on Phobos far exceeded that on Deimos, but the proficiency of the soldiers was not the same. When the child was one month old, the project on Phobos was also nearing completion.
When the news came out that the last well had passed the inspection, all the team members cheered... Finally they could go home!
Ye Han couldn't wait to report the situation to the headquarters, but there was no news on the first wait and no response on the second wait. It took a long time before the Yushan received the communication from the earth.
Clicking on the communication, Huo Qiang appeared on the screen, with his hands crossed in front of him and his expression unusually solemn.
Ye Han suddenly remembered the communication that left the Yushan on Mars two months ago. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he already had a bad premonition.
As expected, Huo Qiang said: "Ye Han, we have received your request, but after careful consideration and organized discussions, Yushan must stay on Mars... Sorry, I know you are very tired, and
I know it's time for you to come back, but we have to consider the reality... The Earth is getting farther and farther away from Mars. At the current distance, it takes two months to travel. Today is December 8th, and Europa is expected to arrive in mid-May tomorrow.
Mars, there is still half a year left, we must seize the time to complete the preparations... You and your troops are most familiar with the situation, and you are needed for the next nuclear bomb placement... I won't say any more, just execute the order."
When the communication ended, Ye Han's eyes went straight and he was stunned for a while without recovering.
After he had straightened out his thoughts, he immediately sent a video to Huo Qiang: "Chief, I received the order. Since it is an order, there is nothing to say. I will implement it resolutely, but I want to ask, after the nuclear bomb is placed, Yushan
Will the number be able to go back? The soldiers are all looking forward to going home, I have to give the soldiers an explanation, right?"
"And when will the nuclear bomb be delivered? To be honest with you, Xu Moliang is the commander-in-chief. He is more familiar with the situation than us. As long as the person delivering the nuclear bomb sends a few people over, they will definitely be qualified for the placement work. There is no need at all.
We...also, after placing the nuclear bomb, can we withdraw?"
"Chief, it's not that I'm a petty person, I can't bring trouble to us people, right? The troops have sacrificed so much, and I have been an engineer on Mars for more than two months. Not to mention the soldiers, even I have thoughts in my heart. If
Without some explanation, this team will not be able to lead."
"Finally, I have a few requests. One is to know about Wang Zhifei's situation. Of course, I just want to know non-confidential information; and the other is how is the situation on earth? Has Africa and South America not improved yet? The soldiers are particularly concerned.
Regarding this matter, I am worried about the spread of ant colonies around the world, and I also want to know more about the insect pest situation in China."
Clicking send, the video flew to the distant earth. It took more than half an hour to come back and forth. Adding in the preparation time, I waited for an hour and still didn't get Huo Qiang's reply.
Ye Han couldn't wait any longer and asked someone to keep an eye on him. Unexpectedly, Huo Qiang's reply came back just as he left, and he hurried back to watch the video.
Huo Qiang in the video still looks the same, saying in a heavy tone: "Ye Han, I really hope you can come back, and I will try my best to help you fight for it, but whether I can come back or not is not up to me alone. I really have no idea now.
What Fa promised you, I hope you can explain it to the soldiers."
"I don't know when the nuclear bomb will be delivered, but it is definitely not recently. Regarding manpower, I can only say that I will try my best... There is another thing. The battle report of the Third Fleet has been approved. The Marine Corps will receive a collective first-class merit.
, I won’t list my personal honors one by one. You can read the report later.”
"I do know something about Wang Zhifei's situation, but it's all confidential and I can't tell you for the time being. It's still the same in China, and it's not bad or bad. But there is good news. The situation in Africa and South America has improved. Ant colonies have improved in a short time.
It’s impossible to spread around the world, I sent you a video, you can see the details yourself.”
When the communication ended, Ye Han sighed helplessly and clicked on the attachment in the communication. The new video replaced Huo Qiang's old face.
This is an aerial video. On the left side of the camera is the human defense line. The defense line made of reinforced concrete is standing ready. There is also a stars and stripes flag flying on the defense line. At a glance, you can tell that it is the Panama defense line built by the Americans.
On the right side of the picture is an open space densely covered with giant ant corpses. There are large and small craters everywhere, and countless insect corpses cover the ground. Moreover, it is close to the coast, and there is even a layer of giant ant corpses floating on the sea surface.
A few words in a foreign language came from the loudspeaker, and then the camera shook and the screen panned to the right, showing an overwhelming swarm of ants stepping on the corpses of their companions and swarming toward the U.S. military defense line like a sea tide.
"Oh my god! come on, come on!"
Ye Han was very confused. Why did he feel that the foreigner who spoke sounded more excited than afraid?
The camera pulled back to the defense line, and Ye Han was surprised to see a row of gates opened at some point below the defense line. Giant crawlers lined up in a row were slowly driving out of the defense line, driving unhurriedly towards the incoming ants.
That's right, it's a giant crawler. It can be seen that this thing is a specially-made vehicle. The body is huge and sturdy. The crawler tracks, which are a few inches wider than the body, are so thick that they wrap around the entire vehicle from head to toe like a sleeve. The body is left and right.
It has thick armor and a solid fence.
Ye Han couldn't help but be stunned, what the hell is this? Could it be that the Americans want to use this thing to crush the giant ants?
He really guessed it right. The giant crawler vehicles lined up next to each other and rolled forward, while the giant ants rushed up regardless. After a while, the two sides collided with each other. In just a short moment,
, countless giant ants were crushed under the crawler vehicle, and Ye Han seemed to hear the crisp sound of the insect shells breaking.
