Eight Hundred and Sixty-Five Mars Meeting
Ye Han left, but Lin Yi couldn't leave. He immediately called up the flight data of the spacecraft and the operation data of Mars, and began to calculate the new orbit of the spacecraft.
All the data were ready. After a while, Lin Yi got the calculation results with the help of the control system.
Lin Yi entered the data into the flight control system and solemnly clicked to execute. The engine of the Yushan, which had been silent for a long time, started immediately, and the spacecraft began to adjust its attitude, switching from normal flight to a deceleration mode with its head facing backward and its buttocks facing forward.
Most of the warship engines today use the wing-mounted scheme of transport aircraft. When decelerating, there is no need to adjust the attitude of the ship. As long as the engine is deflected 180 degrees, it can enter the deceleration mode.
However, they are all main battleships. The Yushan is a landing ship. The special mission purpose makes the Yushan adopt a more traditional layout design. When decelerating, it must be head-to-back and tail-to-front like the old battleships.
Fortunately, the Yushan now only has the orbital cabin. The ship is short and thick. Turning around is more troublesome for ordinary battleships, but it is very simple for the Yushan.
A few minutes later, the spacecraft's attitude was adjusted, and a ball of blazing white light suddenly burst out from the main engine. The warship continued to slow down in the burst of light from the engine, and soon broke away from the third fleet.
The speed of the third fleet was too fast. If it flew to Mars at this speed, it would only pass by Mars and would not have the opportunity to fly around Mars at all.
The deceleration of the Yushan lasted for five days. The original two-day voyage was extended to five days. When the Yushan arrived at Mars, it cut into the orbit from the front and finally reduced the speed to less than five kilometers per second.
The escape velocity of Mars is 5.02 kilometers per second. If the speed is not reduced to this speed, it will not be able to fly around Mars.
There were still two days before the arrival of the engineering ship. Ye Han had been impatient to wait. He ran to the bridge and Lin Yi to use a telescope to look for the engineering ship everywhere. It only took two minutes for the two to find a small bright spot on the side of the sun.
Lin Yi immediately put the image of the engineering ship on the main screen. The two immediately saw the engine of the engineering ship rushing forward, and the white light in the engine kept flashing like a landscape light.
Ye Han curled his lips: "They are slowing down, Lin Yi, what is the current distance?"
"More than 900,000 kilometers, less than one million."
"Give me a communication channel!"
"What for?" Lin Yi asked curiously while doing as he was told.
Ye Han smiled: "A few questions."
The communication system started, and Ye Han adjusted the headset and said: "Luzhou Luzhou, Yushan is calling, please answer!"
The radio was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally received a reply with noise: "Yushan Yushan, this is Luzhou, please speak!"
The two people in the bridge smiled at each other, and Ye Han continued: "Luzhou, my department has been ordered to assist your ship in the survey mission. How many people are needed for the mission?"
More than ten seconds later: "The more the better!"
"Impossible!" Ye Han replied without thinking, "I have forty or fifty people here, are you sure you need them all?"
The mission of the engineering ship is to survey the situation of the two satellites. Even if the two satellites are thoroughly studied, they have to wait for the super engine in the orbital factory to come off the line. Therefore, the mission of the engineering ship is not urgent, and there is no need to invest so much manpower at all. As long as the situation is understood before the super engine arrives, it will be fine.
"It's a bit too many... about ten people."
"Then fifteen." Ye Han decided, "We'll talk if it's not enough."
"Okay."
"What else do you need me to prepare?" Ye Han asked again.
"No need for anything... Well, I'll give you a set of orbital data later, you can change the orbit in these two days, and you must hold a meeting to coordinate the work after the reunion."
"No problem, I'm waiting for you anytime." Ye Han said.
After the communication ended, Ye Han let out a long sigh, and Lin Yi exaggeratedly wiped a handful of non-existent sweat: "My God, I'm exhausted just listening to it."
"Do you think I'm not tired?" Ye Han glanced at Lin Yi, "Okay, you continue to watch, I'll pick someone."
"Who to pick?" Lin Yi asked instinctively.
Ye Han smiled: "Of course I'll pick someone I like!"
"Can you bring Gong Lei with you? I've been watching him alone these days,
I really can't keep an eye on him anymore."
"Okay!" Ye Han agreed, turned around and floated out the door.
After a while, more than a dozen Marines and Gong Lei came out of hibernation together.
Ye Han waited patiently until everyone recovered, then he led the team into the conference room and conveyed the order of the Mars plan.
Before he finished explaining the situation, there was an uproar in the conference room.
Ye Han didn't care about that, and after ordering everyone to shut up, he continued to read the order until he finished the last word and said: "The engineering ship will arrive the day after tomorrow. You all should be quiet. If you don't understand anything, read the plan yourself. The meeting is adjourned!"
The meeting was brief and efficient. In the next two days, Lin Yi and Gong Lei were busy correcting the orbit. Because the direction of entering the orbit was wrong, they flew away from Mars and circled around and re-entered the orbit from the opposite direction.
Ye Han took the soldiers to inspect the equipment to prevent unexpected failures during the mission.
On September 19, 2027, the engineering ship Luzhou arrived at Mars and successfully entered orbit and revolved around Mars.
Before, because the distance was too far, Ye Han had never seen the appearance of Luzhou clearly. It was not until Luzhou entered orbit that he saw the true face of Luzhou.
Ye Han could tell at a glance that the Luzhou was a modified ship, but the modification was too thorough. The outer shell of the spacecraft was full of engineering machinery with different functions. These mechanical equipment were fixed on the surface of the spacecraft. Many of the equipment could not even be named. .
Basically all the weapon systems that should have covered the entire ship were cancelled, leaving only a few rapid-fire cannons for dealing with asteroids hidden among the various equipment.
After the Luzhou entered orbit, it immediately established communication with the Yushan. On the one hand, it asked the Yushan to approach, and on the other hand, it invited Ye Han to participate in the video conference.
A few minutes later, the video conference between the two ships was held as scheduled. Ye Han saw a scruffy man in his thirties with a beard wearing a spacesuit on the screen.
Although he was wearing a clean space suit, he could still feel a sense of sloppiness coming towards him. This man was simply sloppy to the core, and he exuded such a sloppy look from the inside out.
The sloppy man took out a photo of the asteroid very straightforwardly, pointed at the photo and said: "This is Phobos, our first target. We need to conduct necessary exploration on Phobos to understand the structure of Phobos." Geological conditions, we plan to dig wells and take samples here, here and here... Captain Ye, we have brought all the equipment needed for exploration, but we are short of manpower and need your full assistance. "
"No problem, fifteen are not enough and there are more than twenty hibernating ones." Ye Han said.
