One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One Double Hibernation
The Lei No. 1 lifeboat slowly left the warship. Ye Han in the boat held the porthole again and stared at the Leishan, which was gradually going away, with a sad look.
It has been a full year and four months since he took over the Leishan in June last year.
One and a half years is not long, but even if it is a kitten or a puppy, you can cultivate a lot of feelings after raising it for so long, let alone a warship that has always been protecting everyone from wind and rain and brought countless honors to everyone?
Although it has no life and cannot speak, it has the strongest weapons and the safest protection. In Ye Han's heart, the Leishan is the best partner, no one else.
Now that he has to separate from his partner who has been with him day and night, Ye Han's heart is extremely complicated, and he can't tell what it feels like.
He Lu Luo Qi silently accompanied Ye Han without saying a word.
The lifeboat flew farther and farther away, and the mountain-like figure of Leishan became more and more blurred, until it disappeared into the darkness. Ye Han sighed faintly: "Have you corrected the direction?"
"Yes, we are flying towards the sun..." At this point, He Lu also sighed, "But our speed is too slow. At the current speed, it will take at least seven years to fly back to Earth."
"Seven years is seven years, being able to go back is better than anything else." Ye Han said.
He Lu said: "Captain, can we use planets to accelerate?"
"Use which one? Saturn?" Ye Han pulled the corner of his mouth, "That's the aliens' territory!"
He Lu stopped talking. Of course, there are more than just Saturn on the way back to Earth, but except for Mars, other planets are under the control of aliens. It's no different from committing suicide if you dare to approach them.
As for Mars... Hehe, it can touch the door of the earth. Does it matter whether it increases the speed or not?
He Lu was very unwilling, but he knew that Ye Han's worry was justified: "Our direction is too far."
If we leave the ship with other lifeboats before Leishan turns, the return time will be shortened from seven years to three years. Unfortunately, there is no if in reality, and it is too late to regret now.
Ye Han sighed: "It's far away, as long as we can go back..."
He couldn't continue speaking halfway, because Ye Han was really unsure whether he could fly back to Earth in the end.
Just in case, Ye Han sent all the navigation data of Lei No. 1 back to Earth, and Lei No. 1 would send positioning signals regularly. As long as Beidu sent warships to search, it would not be difficult to find Lei No. 1.
"Sleep." Ye Han said.
The three people lay in the hibernation cabin, the heavy hatch slowly closed, the various equipment in the cabin started to work quickly, the temperature dropped sharply, and the injection needle automatically pierced into the arms of the three people.
Ye Han said it simply, but sleeping is not as easy as imagined.
When the expedition fleet left the port, it was only prepared to attack Jupiter. If it was still near Jupiter at this time, Ye Han could sleep all the way back to Earth by hibernating on his own.
But the Leishan ran too far, not only to Saturn, but also beyond Saturn into the Uranus area. The resources on the lifeboat were limited and it could not hold on to return to Earth.
So it could only hibernate twice, and it had to hibernate twice!
Double hibernation means that no one can recover on their own, and they must get help from others to come out of the deepest hibernation. Otherwise, what awaits them will be eternal sleep until they die quietly in their sleep.
Ye Han didn't want to die, and neither did He Lu and Luo Qi, but if they wanted to return to Earth alive, they had to hibernate twice, and they had to take a gamble.
And the bet was everyone's life.
Six days after the Leiyi left the ship, the Sirius, which had been flying at full speed for more than two months, arrived at Saturn.
At this time, Saturn had not recovered from the attack of the expeditionary army. There were flying small celestial bodies and warship wreckage everywhere. Hundreds of large and small holes were embedded in the halo. The good Saturn rings looked like rags gnawed by mice, which were extremely dilapidated and messy.
At least hundreds of alien spacecraft shuttled back and forth among the chaotic small celestial bodies, collecting the wreckage of alien warships and gathering them together.
The aliens seemed to want to recycle waste and use the wreckage of alien warships to cultivate new warships.
No matter what the aliens wanted to do, Duan Zhiyang did not intend to give the enemy a chance. The Sirius, which had just arrived at Saturn, immediately rushed to the Saturn rings, charging and firing at the enemy.
The Sirius did not have any particularly powerful means, nothing more than super cannons and long-range missiles, but these two means made the aliens cry for their parents, hating their parents for not giving them more legs. Groups of alien spacecrafts scattered, leaving only a group of nine warship wreckages there.
Duan Zhiyang would not be polite to the enemy. He threw several super nuclear bombs and immediately destroyed all the wreckage of enemy ships.
The battle went incredibly smoothly. He killed dozens of enemy ships in a row. No alien warship dared to fight against Sirius.
After another charge, Duan Zhiyang realized that the ships left on Saturn were not warships, but ordinary alien spaceships.
There was nothing to say between humans and aliens. No matter whether they were warships or not, there was no reason to let them go. So Sirius fought even more happily, chasing enemy ships that could not fight back.
Not only that, when Sirius passed by a satellite, it would throw several super nuclear bombs at the satellite. The number depended on the size of the satellite. All the Saturn satellites that could be named were not dropped.
The wanton destruction of Sirius finally angered the aliens. They sent out the remaining warships, but there were only more than 20 warships in total. Before they even touched the edge of Sirius, they were smashed into slag by the super cannon.
This is so embarrassing. The aliens never thought that human warships could develop to this point. Thinking back to the past when humans could only use extremely simple warships to fight against asteroids, the aliens couldn't help but burst into tears... They don't have glands, but they have corresponding emotions.
If the emotions are right, it doesn't matter whether there are tears or not.
While the Sirius was ravaging Saturn, the alien fleet that had been chasing the Qingzhou for nearly a month suddenly gave up the chase, turned around collectively, and returned to Saturn like a fire on the butt.
At this time, the Qingzhou was on the verge of abandoning the ship. If the enemy persisted for a few more days, Ruan Yinghua would have to abandon the ship to protect himself.
The action of the Sirius rescued the Qingzhou. Ruan Yinghua immediately ordered the warship to return without saying a word.
However, the Qingzhou did not sail directly to the earth, but selected a few points. If these points are connected, it can be found that the Qingzhou planned to rescue the lifeboat of the Leishan first, and then rescue the lifeboat of the Shihe.
The Sirius had a heavy responsibility and certainly had no time to take care of the rescue lifeboats, so the Qingzhou had to shoulder this responsibility.
In order to collect the lifeboats, Ruan Yinghua also spent a lot of money. The voyage, which was originally only about a year, was dragged into a year and a half. More than half of the lifeboats released by the Leishan and Shihe were recovered by the Qingzhou.
