Nine Hundred and Sixtieth Sky Road
,,!
Captain Zhong's words aroused Ye Han's vigilance. Whether intentionally or not, the whereabouts of the army involves military secrets. Ye Han felt that it was necessary to check the details of Captain Zhong.
It is said that the superior can arrange for a person surnamed Zhong to come over. This person should be very reliable!
"If you ask me, there is no need for this at all." Captain Zhong rubbed the soles of his feet, "There are missiles and cannons on the island, and there are several warships. It would be too wasteful to put so many people on the island."
Ye Han shrugged and didn't answer. Captain Zhong seemed to understand that his words had crossed the line, so he changed the subject rationally.
The two chatted for a few more words, and stopped when Captain Zhong left voluntarily.
In the next few days, Captain Zhong seemed to avoid Ye Han intentionally, and the two barely met again.
Ye Han didn't have the time to explore, so he just reported his doubts to his superiors and let it go.
After more than 80 hours of uninterrupted voyage, the fleet finally arrived at Tidao this morning.
When the troops set off, Ye Han was still worried about whether he would encounter bad weather such as storms on the way, but his worries were unnecessary. It is almost the end of the year now, and when he saw the end, this sea area was the calmest during this period .
After the fleet arrived, the Yuzhu received the notification of port call immediately, which surprised Captain Zhong... He didn't come back to Tidao for the first time, and he had never been treated like this before.
Ye Han had already informed the entire army to prepare for leaving the ship. When the Yuzhu docked at the port, everyone stayed in the car in the cargo hold and waited silently.
There was a sudden noise in the cargo hold, the thick bulkhead was slowly opened, bright sunlight penetrated into the cargo hold, and the lights on the top of the cabin suddenly became dispensable.
"Let's go!" Ye Han gave an order, and the No. 1 car drove out of the cabin first, soaring into the sky... No, the track elevator that runs straight into the sky immediately caught everyone's eyes.
Anyone who sees it for the first time will be shocked by its magnificence, even if Ye Han has seen a similar scene on Jupiter.
The cables of the earth-orbit elevator are much thicker than those on Europa, and the ground facilities are extremely complete, with eight platforms facing each other, and even the space trains are much stronger than those on Europa.
The change of the sky train is not only a technical improvement, but also directly related to the diameter of the cable - a thicker cable means stronger pulling force, and the carrying capacity of the sky train has been greatly improved.
The military did not give the troops any rest time. Hundreds of military vehicles in a team of more than 2,000 people drove to the platform according to the guidelines after leaving the ro-ro ship. , Move the equipment on the car onto the space train as quickly as possible.
Twenty minutes later, all the materials were transferred, and the team of more than 2,000 people plus equipment filled four trains. Everyone strictly followed Ye Han's order, and they all stayed on the train obediently waiting for departure.
At this moment, another fleet of ships came over the sea, and one of the cruise ships flying the Stars and Stripes got the priority to call at the port. Not long after, a group of heavily armed American soldiers appeared on the pier.
Ye Han roughly estimated that there are more American soldiers than airborne divisions. The exact number is hard to tell, but it is about 2,500 to 3,000.
He couldn't help but be speechless, Lao Mei is spending money on the mission to Jupiter?
The next cruise ship to call is from England. The total number of people is not as large as that of the US military, but it is no less than 2,000.
There were still so many boats on the sea, Ye Han suddenly had a bad feeling.
As expected, the fleet that had just arrived was filled with troops from various member states of the Al Qaeda Group. As the ships from various countries called at the port one by one, the port was quickly surrounded by groups of motorized infantry armed to the hair.
More than a dozen member states of the Al Qaeda Group have sent at least a few hundred people here, and the total force combined is less than 20,000 people.
Ye Han always thought that the main force of the sneak attack plan was the resistance organization, and the airborne division was just following the occasion. Now that he saw the troops sent by al-Qaeda, he suddenly realized how determined the countries have made—orbital airborne troops are the essence of the entire army.
The al-Qaeda group will never just pick a unit and send it over to deal with errands.
While thinking wildly, the sky train received the order to start, and the No. 3 car where Ye Han was in and the No. 7 car on the opposite side started together. The two trains soon converged on the cable and climbed up at an extremely stable speed.
The sky train for self-use is no longer a fully enclosed stuffy tank, but has many round portholes installed like ordinary trains, through which you can see the scene in all directions.
The soldiers squeezed curiously to the porthole and looked out. As the altitude increased, the huge ladder island became smaller and less conspicuous in everyone's sight, and the blue sea gradually occupied everyone's vision.
I don't know if it's an illusion of the eyes, but the horizon seems to be getting more and more curved.
Ten minutes after departure, a few meteors falling from the sky attracted the attention of the soldiers. However, after a while, a parachute was opened behind the meteor's buttocks. Only then did everyone realize that it was not a meteor at all, but was thrown from space. Get off the train carriages.
The soldiers watched the carriages get lower and lower, and finally fell to the distant sea. Several recovery boats immediately set off from Tidao to salvage the carriages.
Many people have the same thought in their minds: How many times have these trains been thrown?
They are not curious about the answer, but are worried about potential safety hazards after the train is used repeatedly... It is a bit unfounded, but it is also human.
The bloody drama of the crash was not staged, and more than four hours later, the train arrived at the low-gauge terminal on time.
Because of the strong gravitational force of the earth, the low-orbit terminal of the earth-orbit elevator is located at an altitude of more than 700 kilometers, which is much higher than that of Jupiter.
The design of the low-rail terminal is similar, except that it is much larger. After the train came to a complete stop, Ye Han immediately organized the troops to transfer to the traffic boats. A team of more than 1,000 people filled more than 40 traffic boats.
After waiting patiently for a while, the traffic boat jumped out of the airport, accelerated like a roller coaster, the traffic boat turned into a level flight, and soon joined the assault ship that came to meet it.
The assault ship is a new type of landing ship redesigned for the Jupiter mission. It has no ability to land on planets, and its tonnage is average. It can only be regarded as a medium-sized warship. An assault ship can fit an airborne regiment.
The military can build a large assault ship that can carry the entire airborne division, but such an assault ship will be a large battleship comparable to the space carrier, it is too eye-catching, and if something goes wrong, a whole ship will be lost. division.
The medium-sized ship can not only reduce the difficulty and cycle of construction, but more importantly, it is not necessary to put all the eggs in one basket, so as not to let the aliens take over.
