Five Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Beiyuezhou Fleet

Time flies, and it will be mid-January in a blink of an eye. After more than two months of intense construction, the Airport No. 2 track is finally put into use.

If the No. 1 track is a light platform, then the No. 2 track is a real heavy-duty carrier platform. Without the use of rocket boosters, the acceleration capability of the track itself can send the 011 class weighing more than 700 tons. If rockets are used to launch into space, the maximum launch mass can reach 1,500 tons!

The No. 2 track sent all the dozen or so 011 ships accumulated in the Beiyuezhou base into space at the fastest speed, and the training of the crew also entered a new stage due to the launch of the 011 class.

The No. 2 track also greatly relieved the working pressure of the No. 1 track, and more materials could be sent into space within a unit of time. The materials obtained by the orbital factory were unprecedentedly sufficient, and the construction speed of new ships was greatly increased.

At this time, the new type of space battleship has been designated as Class 024 by the military. Although the warship has not yet rolled off the assembly line, the four warships have been named in advance by the military. The first ship, Rainbow Bay, has a hull number of 241.

The other three ships are Luwan, Summerwan and Yuewan, known as the Four Sisters of Yuewan... I don’t know who spread the word, anyway, Ye Han hates comparing battleships to sisters, so why not What about the four Yuewan brothers?

However, the names of the four sisters had already been called, and Ye Han couldn't change them even if he wanted to.

The naming of these warships is also very interesting. Anyone who is familiar with the moon knows that besides the lunar sea, there are also five moon lakes, five moon bays and three moon marshes on the surface of the moon.

In fact, seas, lakes, bays, and swamps are all plains on the moon. Those who are familiar with the moon will know that they are named after the bays on the moon when they see the names of these 024-class ships.

Among them, the Yuewan should have been called the Meiyuewan, but the eyebrow characters were too thick and did not match up well with the other warships, so it was finally named the Yuewan.

If you are not familiar with the reasons, you may mistakenly recognize the Yuewan as the first ship of the 024 class. In fact, the Yuewan is the last of the four sisters.

Ye Han is looking forward to what will be the name of the next warship with higher tonnage, stronger performance and more advanced technology.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye. In mid-February, the last piece of armor was attached to the surface of the Rainbow Bay under the handling of robots. The welding torch on the slide rail immediately slid to the seam of the armor. He walked back and forth several times at a fast speed, and the armor was welded to the surface of the battleship tightly.

The light ceased, and one end of the "scaffolding" wrapping the battleship was slowly opened, and the orbital factory reported to the Beiyuezhou base that the first 024-class ship, Rainbow Bay, was completed and rolled off the assembly line!

In just a few months, a space battleship with a displacement of nearly 5,000 tons was built. This achievement is enough to make all military workers proud of it. The moment the news came out, the world boiled.

Beiyuezhou immediately ordered the crew on standby to receive the warship. A 011-class warship full of crew took off from Beiyuezhou No. 2 airport. The ship docked, and the crew of more than 40 people on board was transferred to the Rainbow Bay.

The cheers are over, but the Hongwan cannot join the active service immediately, but will immediately start the intensive sea trial journey.

Warships must go through sea trials before they are launched into the water, and if problems are found and adjusted, they can only join active service after ensuring that there are no problems. The space environment is thousands of times harsher than the ocean environment, and warships must undergo more rigorous trials before they can be approved to become active warships.

Although the expedition is imminent, the military is also unwilling to cause losses that will not occur due to ignoring the sea trial.

The Rainbow Bay, which just rolled off the assembly line, is now undergoing a power system test, with the engine outputting maximum power, and the battleship is slowly accelerating away from the orbital factory.

Immediately, all the equipment on the ship was turned on to test whether there was interference between the electronic equipment. Radar signals, communication signals and all kinds of clutter were mixed together, and Rainbow Bay immediately became the strongest electromagnetic signal source near the moon.

The trial voyage of the Rainbow Bay lasted for a full ten days. It is said that this time is far from meeting the requirements of the military, but the military can't wait as long as one or two years.

For the upcoming expedition mission, the trial voyage can only be ended hastily.

Fortunately, the design team of the battleship is rich in experience, and the hull structure has been optimized to the maximum extent as early as the design stage. The ten-day sea trial is too short, and there must be some problems that have not been exposed, but they must be minor problems. I don't care about that much anymore.

After the Rainbow Bay went offline, the raw materials Beiyuezhou sent to the orbital factory did not decrease. All the raw materials were concentrated on the other three warships. In just a few days, the Dew Bay and the Summer Bay went off the assembly line one after another. Two days later, the Moon Bay was completed and launched.

So far, all four warships have been completed.

The following three warships are still on trial voyage. The Hongwan has returned to the orbital factory and received a comprehensive inspection by the engineers. After making sure that the structure of the Hongwan's hull is not damaged, the Hongwan has entered the material preparation stage, and all personnel and materials have been boarded. The ship is equipped with all weapons and equipment, and eight booster rockets that are not much shorter than a battleship are fixed outside the hull.

The fully armed Rainbow Bay is full of murderous looks, and it will embark on a long journey to Jupiter as soon as Beidu gives an order.

The expedition mission that lasted for several years is a big test for anyone. Although there are many crew members trained on the ground and Beiyuezhou, not many are qualified to board the ship.

The requirements of the military are almost harsh, not only requiring professional proficiency, but also voluntarily submitting an application. Only those who pass the professional, psychological quality, physical condition and political review can be allowed to join the expedition fleet.

There are tens of thousands of personnel trained in the sky and underground, but the expedition fleet only needs more than 200 crew members. It is conceivable that the competition is fierce.

Of course, there are also many people who are not interested in the expedition fleet, but want to join the space fleet and pilot 011.

In early March, the Yuewan completed its trial voyage, and the four warships gathered at the orbital factory again.

The military immediately announced that the Beiyuezhou Fleet of the Navy was formally established. The fleet has two units under its jurisdiction, the Task Force and the Guard Fleet.

At the same time, the military announced the expedition plan to the world, and the global public opinion was in an uproar. Countless people rushed to tell the news. However, the public's attitude towards the expedition mission was not very enthusiastic, and instead, there were many responsible news.

Even the giant worms on the earth have not been cleaned up, what kind of Jupiter is the expedition?

Humans haven't even landed on Mars. If they say they fly to Jupiter, they fly to Jupiter? This is wanting to run without learning how to walk. It's no wonder that nothing goes wrong!

When the giant worm didn’t come out, there was no such thing, but now, even space battleships have been built, how much technology has been concealed...

Ordinary people don't understand the significance of the expedition plan, but the high-level leaders of various countries know it well. There are those who bless, those who hate, and those who envy.

But nothing can stop the fleet's expedition.
