864 Military Order

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 current position of the earth, the window period cannot be waited for several months. 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 in one go.

September 12, 2027, Third Fleet.

Just like a drowning person suddenly surfaced, Ye Han took a sharp breath and woke up from the 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 around, he saw that 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 for waking up alone. One is that the spacecraft accidentally starts the wake-up process. , the second is that the spacecraft received an order to wake up someone!

Various speculations have been lingering in Ye Han's mind. As soon as he regained his ability to move, he couldn't wait to leave the hibernation cabin. As soon as he floated into the corridor, the door next door also opened, and a person jumped out of the door, almost bumping into Ye Han.

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 their 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 towards the bridge one after the other.

Although it did not wear flight equipment, after the Yushan carried out the landing mission, the size of the spacecraft was reduced by two-thirds, making it the smallest spacecraft in the entire fleet. The hibernation cabin and the bridge are only separated by two corridors and three decks, and the two people can only It took 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 jumped 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 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: "Beidu 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 goes wrong, 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 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, or 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. body.

During pregnancy, childbirth and confinement, he was not by Bai Xiaoting's side during the three stages when a woman needed a man the most. The thought of this made his heart feel as painful 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 opened the portable computer on his wrist, clicked on the file he had just received, and read the contents of the file while floating in the air.

He read very quickly, and soon he had a general understanding of the beginning and end of the Mars plan and its contents. When he turned back, Lin Yi's eyes were still fixed on the screen.

Ye Han didn't care about that 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."

"The spacecraft is in your hands." Ye Han said, "I will go back to study the plan."

"Don't worry." Lin Yi patted his chest confidently.

Ye Han nodded and left the bridge. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead without a drop of sweat: "Oh my God, I'm finally leaving!"

Although Ye Han didn't say anything, as long as he had eyes, he 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 had 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 as heavy as mountains and this is not an empty statement. Soldiers must execute orders as soon as they receive them. There is no room for reasoning and no room for negotiation.
