One Thousand and Eighty-Eight
Once again waking up from a deep hibernation, Ye Han, who was already familiar with this feeling, was still not used to it. It took him a while to recover his stiff body.
Ye Han didn't care about other people. He put on his clothes and rushed to the bridge. As soon as the bridge door opened, Captain Qi Haifeng immediately turned around and greeted politely: "Captain Ye."
Ye Han floated into the bridge: "What day is it today?"
"September 18th." Qi Haifeng said.
Ye Han held the handrail and stopped beside Qi Haifeng: "What's the situation?"
"Ganymede is finished." Qi Haifeng clicked twice on the screen in front of him, and a document popped up on the screen immediately, "This is your commendation order, first-class merit."
"I'm asking about the Earth!"
Qi Haifeng let out a breath: "That's it, they say they are fully prepared for war, but they can hide and hide in their bones."
Ye Han found an empty seat and sat down: "When will the alien fleet arrive on Earth?"
"It's almost here now." Qi Haifeng said, "It's just that we are too far away and haven't received any signals yet."
The Dongzhou is currently near the orbit of Mars, and it will take another month to return to Earth. The communication delay from here to Earth is about ten minutes.
Originally, Ye Han should sleep all the way back to Earth, but he knew that the aliens were about to arrive on Earth, so how could he sleep in the spaceship with peace of mind?
Ye Han had communicated with Qi Haifeng before hibernation, so Qi Haifeng woke him up at this critical moment.
Although it was too late to return to Earth, Ye Han would rather face the worst situation than know nothing in hibernation.
He had thought about waking up from hibernation a few days in advance, but gave up after careful consideration.
At this time, let alone waiting for a few days, every minute was a torment of heart and lungs.
The bridge door opened again, and Bian Ge was the first to float into the bridge, followed by Long Jianguo, Xiao Yuan and others.
"Are we not late?" Bian Ge floated to Ye Han and sat down.
"No, we have to wait a little longer." Ye Han said.
Others also found a place to sit down. Originally, only Qi Haifeng and two other bridge officers were on duty here. So many people rushed in at once, and the bridge was immediately filled.
Bian Ge turned his head and asked, "Old Qi, is there any good news?" Although he had only slept for a few months, it felt like several centuries had passed, and he was completely out of touch with this world.
Qi Haifeng shook his head without hesitation: "No."
Bian Ge was extremely surprised: "It's impossible, no fleet was organized for a decisive battle in advance?"
"No." Qi Haifeng sighed, "It's already this critical moment, who dares to send out the fleet?"
Everyone was silent when they heard it.
Everyone knows a little about the situation on Earth, and it is impossible to build a new fleet in such a short time.
Ye Han broke the silence: "What other news?"
"Good or bad?" Qi Haifeng asked back.
Ye Han said: "I want to hear it all."
"The good news is that the people have been resettled by the higher-ups, and the bad news is that no one knows whether it will be useful."
"What about military dependents?" Long Jianguo asked.
"Priority resettlement, most of them will be evacuated to the underground city, and some will be evacuated to Beiyuezhou. In special cases, they will be resettled according to their own wishes. That's probably the situation."
"Special cases? What do you mean?" Bian Ge asked.
"Those who are physically unable to leave, those who would rather die than leave, those who are willing to take up arms and fight, and those who are dragged down by these types of people, and so on."
"What?" Ye Han frowned, "Weapons were issued to the common people?"
Qi Haifeng nodded: "They are innocent and willing to do it."
After listening to this, everyone felt a little guilty.
Fighting is the duty of soldiers. Although there are many objective reasons that cannot be ignored for the development of the situation to this point, it is not a shame for soldiers to issue weapons to ordinary people in order to resist foreign enemies.
"Hey, there is a signal!" Qi Haifeng broke the silence, and then a voice full of interference and noise echoed in the bridge: "Beiyue... Zizi... This is... Zizi... Fleet... Zizi... Request to depart!"
Another voice appeared: "The fleet can... Zizi... Fleet,
Good luck to you!"
"Beiyuezhou... We must... Zizi... Come back alive..."
Heavy tone, vague voice, tragic departure.
All these things combined together opened the curtain of fighting against the alien fleet in everyone's mind. Everyone was holding back their energy and wished they could return to Beiyuezhou right now.
Everyone knew very well that even if the Earth put all its strength together, the fleet it assembled would not be as good as the interception fleet, and the result of fighting against the alien fleet was completely imaginable.
Once the fleet went, there was simply no possibility of returning.
But as a soldier, how could he be afraid of death and not move forward? A real soldier would die gloriously even if he knew he was going to die.
"Why is the signal so bad?" Bian Ge suddenly shouted angrily.
Qi Haifeng said: "This is an ordinary signal. We are too far away."
Bian Ge complained with his nose not a nose and eyes not eyes: "Can't you think of a way?"
Qi Haifeng said: "These signals have been processed, otherwise even these can't be heard..."
Different communication equipment has different effective communication distances. Beiyuezhou must not use high-power equipment to communicate with nearby fleets.
If it is to communicate with Jupiter, it is even necessary to use a radio telescope.
"That's enough!" Ye Han suppressed his anger, "Don't make trouble for no reason."
Bian Ge was startled, his face was extremely ugly.
Long Jianguo saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Old Bian, what are you doing? If you feel bad, will everyone feel happy?"
Bian Ge's face changed again, and he turned his head away angrily without saying anything.
Ye Han's face eased a little: "Captain Qi, don't mind, he has such a bad temper."
"It's okay, I understand." Qi Haifeng pulled the corner of his mouth but couldn't laugh.
At this time, another disturbing voice sounded: "Beiyuezhou, we... Zi... goodbye."
"Take care!"
These words were incoherent, and everyone was confused and looked at Qi Haifeng at the same time.
Qi Haifeng tapped the screen a few times and said, "It's the space city."
"The space city on the moon?" Bian Ge's eyes widened, "Where is it going?"
He knew that the space city had the ability to fly, but he also knew that it was too big and too heavy, and its flying speed was not much faster than a turtle.
"Not sure, maybe it's hiding for a while, and will come back after winning." Qi Haifeng said.
It's not necessary to say that they can't win, the space city is so slow, and the final result is completely imaginable.
"What about the Tiangong? Did the Tiangong leave too?" Bian Ge's nose and eyes were almost squeezed together, and there was an indescribable sadness in his expression.
"That won't happen, the Tiangong is now a fortress!"
