All members of the Aerospace Club have been prepared for it. As soon as the news was announced, cargo ships anchored at major ports sailed to Ti Island.
All countries want to take advantage of the cost advantage of Tiidao, but Beidou has been prepared for a long time. It has reached a series of agreements with the base group to properly allocate the total transportation amount of Tiidao. No one can jump in the queue, and Beidou has also formulated strict rules.
The freight is standard and can be paid on credit, but it will never be free to any country or individual.
The main task of the orbital elevator after it is put into use is to transport military supplies to space and speed up the preparation of the expeditionary force.
The space train provided by Beidu to Europa belongs to version 1.0, and the space train for its own use has undergone a series of improvements, at least version 4.0, with significant improvements in climbing speed, interception capacity, space utilization and other aspects.
improve.
More importantly, the space train is much safer than any previous space method!
In order to improve transportation efficiency, Beidu even adopted a return-type plan, that is, climbing to a low-orbit dock and then falling into the atmosphere like a spaceship.
Although recycling trains is very troublesome and the cost is still high, it is still cheap compared to traditional aerospace means, and countries are willing to pay for it - by the way, Beidou's original plan was a conventional one-up-down method, which is exactly what it meant.
It was only at the instigation of various countries that we decided to adopt a return-style plan.
Just kidding, if the transportation efficiency of going up and down is one, then going up but not going down is two. The transportation efficiency has doubled, which is of extraordinary significance to the entire space club.
Of course, Beidu also has its own plan. It will only activate the return plan when there are sufficient orders, and it will automatically change back when there are insufficient orders.
Tiidao was originally just an ordinary island. The settlement of the orbital elevator led to the great development of the entire Tiidao, with deep-water terminals, transshipment ports, huge warehouse areas, and a railway running directly from the terminal to the ground station.
All of this completely transformed the island.
December 9, 2029, Qiongzhou training base.
Qiao Wei looked at the order he had just received and looked at it again. Finally, he sighed and walked to the window. His sharp eyes penetrated the space and fell on the training ground in the distance.
Airborne troops must complete prescribed training subjects every day, even on holidays. Currently, 99% of the members of the entire division are on the training ground.
Qiao Wei was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked to the table to pick up the phone: "Is it the duty room? Sound the alarm, yes, right away!"
The shrill siren immediately rang through the base. No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing when they heard the siren, all the soldiers immediately stopped, spread their legs and rushed to the playground.
After a while, more than 2,000 people gathered and formed several squares of varying sizes.
Qiao Wei held the order and walked to the front of the queue: "I just received an order from my superiors, requiring our unit to immediately enter the first level of combat readiness. The three regiment leaders will stay and the others will start."
Various commands immediately resounded throughout the playground, and all the teams quickly moved away.
Only Qiao Wei and the three regiment leaders were left on the playground. A few people gathered together. Qiao Wei sighed and handed the order to Ye Han: "The troops will be left to you."
Ye Han was startled: "What?"
Qiao Wei twitched his lips: "You will lead the team on this mission."
Ye Han took the order suspiciously, scanned it ten lines at a time, and looked up at Qiao Wei in surprise: "Why don't you go?" The order clearly stated that the airborne division was about to go to Tiidao, and would be led by deputy division commander Ye Han.
As the team commander, Qiao Wei stayed at the base.
This is the prelude to the upcoming mission to Jupiter. At this juncture, how can one be missing?
Bian Ge and Long Jianguo also had strange looks on their faces. Could it be that Qiao Wei is really a gilded connection?
But it's not like that. After several months of getting along, Qiao Wei's abilities have been recognized by everyone. Although his qualifications cannot be compared with Ye Han, a pervert, he is indeed worthy of his title. What happened at the critical moment?
?
Qiao Wei's eyes were complicated, and he answered the question unintentionally: "Do you know? This base can only accommodate 2,000 people. No matter how many people there are, it won't be able to accommodate it."
Long Jianguo touched his head: "What does this mean?"
Qiao Wei forced a smile: "After you leave, another group of people will come to form a second orbital airborne division!"
"Ah?" The three people said in unison, all shocked by the news.
"Is there a second division?" Bian Ge spoke quickly, holding out two fingers and looking dull.
Ye Han suddenly realized something: "Two divisions, you mean... one airborne army?"
Bian Ge and Long Jianguo also reacted and looked at Qiao Wei with all four eyes.
Qiao Wei said: "There are only two divisions for the time being. When you come back from Jupiter, you, the deputy division commander, will be able to become a regular."
Ye Han suddenly realized that the boss was waiting here.
Bian Ge said dissatisfied: "Then why do you want to be a division commander? Why don't you just become the army commander?"
Qiao Wei said: "Do you think I have the final say in this matter?"
"You are too cunning and unrealistic." Long Jianguo made no secret of his opinion, "Can't you speak clearly earlier?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "As far as I know, Ye Han was originally the default division commander, but the losses in the battle with Jupiter Zero were too heavy, so it is recommended to observe him for a period of time.
Ye Han sighed quietly, that battle was an eternal pain in his heart.
Bian Ge immediately changed the subject and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you build it earlier? This place can't fit in, can't we find another place? This is an expedition to Jupiter, can two divisions be the same as one division?"
Qiao Wei sighed: "Do you think the airborne division is easy to build? The equipment of this division alone is going to kill you, otherwise how could you wait until now?"
Bian Ge stopped talking now.
The Airborne Division only has a total of more than 2,000 people, but from equipment to supplies, it is the best in the entire army. The efforts and resources Beidu has spent on this unit are obvious to all. What Qiao Wei said is definitely not nonsense, it is the truth.
Thinking that a new orbital airborne force was about to be formed here, Ye Han suddenly felt an impulse in his heart: "How about I leave a few people for you? I can't let you start from scratch..." He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
We just lack the backbone, leaving some more for Qiao Wei...
My family's financial resources are already thin, so how can I withstand such hardship?
Qiao Wei didn't give Ye Han a chance to regret at all: "If you want to stay, stay in the training camp!"
"No way!" Ye Han refused without thinking, "Don't be just right."
Qiao Wei smiled freely: "Okay, I'm just kidding. Don't worry. I've been working hard for a few months. I've already understood what I need to know. I don't dare to say anything else. It's definitely no problem to train, nothing more.
It’s just a matter of actual combat experience.”
During the training break, Marine Corps veterans kept explaining the situation of aliens to others. Later, with the support of Qiao Wei, a set of teaching materials was formed. Although this was not real actual combat experience, it could still help recruits understand something about aliens.
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, let's get ready."
