One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Nine Assembly Number
Ye Han was very nervous, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, almost making Ye Han unable to breathe...
This was not his first airborne, but every time he airborne, he could not control his nervousness, and this time was no exception.
Today's orbital airborne is much safer than before, but orbital airborne is still from space to the ground, which is much more dangerous than parachuting. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is dancing with the god of death.
If everything goes well, it will be better. What if he is intercepted by light insects...Ye Han dare not think about it.
However, no matter how nervous and worried he is, he is also in the airborne capsule. No matter how much he regrets, it is too late to regret... Thinking of this, he can't help but want to laugh. Every time he enters the airborne capsule, he regrets it to death, but when the next time, no matter how much he rejects and dislikes it in his heart, he will still get into the airborne capsule without hesitation.
Why are people always so contradictory?
Ye Han had limited education and low level of ability, so he couldn't figure out such a profound philosophical problem. He had consulted a psychologist, who said that this was just a natural reaction of a person in a closed environment. As long as the right method was used, it would not be difficult to overcome it.
Ye Han felt that the doctor's statement made sense, but he never overcame this problem and it has remained to this day.
If his comrades-in-arms knew about this, they would definitely laugh their teeth off, and their teeth might also be loosened by laughter - his thoughts drifted to who knows where.
However, he soon stopped thinking about it, because the airdrop capsule entered the atmosphere. At the beginning, it was just a slight tremor, but the tremor soon became an obvious strong vibration, just like putting the airdrop capsule into a crazy rotating blender.
And it was not just a little bit of madness, it could make overnight meals come out of the stomach. When Ye Han first came into contact with orbital airdrop, he suffered a lot of this loss and almost vomited several times.
Anyone who vomited was disqualified and sent back to the original unit. Those who stayed were those who could hold on.
Ye Han is now different from the past. His physique has been greatly improved. He is not afraid of this disturbance at all, but he still feels scared when he thinks of the feeling at that time.
To be honest, there is no danger at all in airdropping at this stage. Even if the airdrop capsule is accidentally damaged, the power armor can ensure the safety of the personnel.
Of course, this is a function only available in new armor. If it is replaced with the old-style armor, once the airdrop capsule is damaged, the only result is to be trapped in the armor and roasted alive.
Technology is improving, and power armor is safer than before.
The air at the outer edge of the atmosphere is thin.
The airdrop capsule falls very fast. As the altitude gets lower and lower, the air becomes denser and denser. The special design allows the airdrop capsule to slowly slow down under the action of air resistance.
This is the most dangerous stage in the entire airdrop process. If the enemy intercepts it with light insects, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fortunately, the sandstorm has not stopped yet. The entire mission area is covered by the sandstorm. Even if the light insects crawl out, they can't see where the target is.
However, the sandstorm was both the cause of success and the cause of failure. The altitude of the airdrop capsule soon entered the last kilometer. Looking down from the air, the vast sandstorm was boundless and the ground could not be seen, nor was the actual altitude.
Observing the sandstorm, we can determine the wind speed, but the ground wind speed was between level 3 and 4. It seemed that the wind had weakened and the impact on the parachute was not great.
However, the floating sand and dust had not yet dispersed, and the visibility was still very low. In this case, parachuting was extremely dangerous, even if wearing power armor.
In the last kilometer, it was already the point where the parachute had to be opened. The airdrop capsule automatically opened and released Ye Han in the cabin.
The parachute on Ye Han's body automatically unfolded, holding the air to slow down the falling speed, but a gust of wind blew over, and the parachute drifted away from the scheduled landing point in an instant.
Ye Han was helpless about this. Fortunately, the wind had weakened and there was no turbulent flow, otherwise he might have encountered some monster moths.
In addition to parachuting, orbital airborne landing can also be slowed down by recoil rockets, but using that thing to slow down is too violent. The two forces of falling and deceleration act on the armor at the same time, which is very uncomfortable. If you are not careful, you will lose control and become a target flying in the air.
Moreover, recoil deceleration is only suitable for low-gravity environments. When used on Earth, the falling speed must be reduced to a certain range first, otherwise the recoil rocket will reduce the falling speed and the person in the armor will become half-crippled.
Another way is to use a specially designed single-soldier aircraft, which has a rotor type similar to a helicopter and a fixed wing type with a pair of wings.
However, there are no such equipment on the Ningwuguan, so Ye Han has nowhere to find it even if he wants to use it.
Besides, no matter how good the aircraft is, it will be difficult to escape the fate of falling in a sandstorm. Even if there is equipment, Ye Han dare not bring it to airborne.
It must be said that sandstorm airborne landing is a new situation that Ye Han has never encountered before. He doesn't know what method is best to land, so he can only try parachuting for a while.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated the wind speed in the air. As soon as the parachute was opened, it was blown away by the strong wind. The situation of others was not much better. Several soldiers were unlucky. When they opened the parachute, the parachute was caught by the strong wind. The parachute rope was directly entangled on their bodies, and they struggled to fall into the sandstorm.
The soldiers were well trained and could remain calm despite the critical situation. They immediately drew out their sabers, cut the parachute rope in a few seconds, and quickly pulled out the backup parachute.
The backup parachute was opened. This thing is much smaller than the main parachute. The landing speed is 22 meters per second. If you don’t wear armor, you will be half-dead if you fall to the ground.
Ye Han shouted worriedly on the radio: "Where are the people? How are they?"
Xiao Yuan and others immediately contacted their subordinates and quickly confirmed the personnel situation: "Chief, the people are fine. The visibility in the sandstorm is still good!"
"Got it, everyone act according to the situation and pay attention to control the direction!"
The altitude was getting lower and lower. After approaching the sandstorm, Ye Han unexpectedly found that the visibility was indeed good. At an altitude of three or four hundred meters, he could vaguely see Shaoqiu on the ground.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Knowing when to touch the ground, the danger of landing can be reduced by 90%!
He silently calculated the altitude in his mind. When he was more than 20 meters away from the ground, Ye Han took the initiative to abandon the parachute. The whole person fell from the sky like a weight and fell heavily into the sand.
Looking around, everything in sight was gray, except sand.
Ye Han immediately shouted on the radio: "Everyone, pay attention, roll call!"
The leading officer immediately looked for his men, and the radio was in chaos... In fact, only Ye Han's radio was in chaos. Each combat group had a separate communication frequency band, and only Ye Han was qualified to monitor the communications of all combat groups.
Several people quickly reported the situation to Ye Han. Only two soldiers were injured when they landed, and everyone else landed safely.
Ye Han was really relieved and ordered: "I order everyone to assemble at the predetermined coordinates!"
