Six Hundred and Forty-Six Visits
The moon quietly appeared from the right side of the porthole, quickly moved to the other side of the porthole, and quickly disappeared from the left side of the porthole.
Ye Han withdrew his gaze from the porthole and turned to the busy figure in the ward. The only feeling he felt was wonder.
It has been several days since the Second Fleet returned to Earth, but this time when Ye Han woke up, what he saw was not the narrow hibernation cabin of the Kunlun, but a spacious and bright ward, and his wife's familiar face.
From the departure of the first fleet to the return of the second fleet, Ye Han participated in the two battles of Jupiter by accident, which took two years and five months.
Two years is not a long time, but the changes are not small.
The Beiyuezhou base is no longer the pure industrial base that was trapped in a corner, but a moon city with more than 100,000 residents. There are more than 100 affiliated mining sites and industrial areas, with tentacles covering most of the moon.
After expansion and transformation, the orbital factory is no longer a place dedicated to building warships, but a space base integrating scientific research, manufacturing, and maintenance. It is the home port of the Beiyuezhou Fleet, and it is nicknamed "Moon Palace".
The ring-shaped Moon Palace base structure is like a wheel, which rotates once every half an hour, using centrifugal force to generate one-sixth of the standard gravity, which is roughly equal to the gravity of the moon.
After the Second Fleet returned to Earth, Huo Qiang immediately arranged for manpower to transfer the sleeping officers and soldiers on the battleship to the affiliated hospital of the Moon Palace Base.
The environment here is no worse than the large hospitals on the ground. Anyway, there are no patients in normal times, so it is perfect for the rehabilitation of expeditionary officers and soldiers.
However, Huo Qiang’s good intentions almost did something wrong—hibernating for a long time in a weightless environment, people’s physiological state is very fragile, and the gravity of the Moon Palace Base is a very huge test. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and no one was killed.
When Huo Qiang knew his mistake, he corrected it, immediately revised the order, and sent the soldiers of the expeditionary army to the weightless area near the axis for treatment.
After Ye Han woke up, he recovered in the weightless area for two days before entering the general ward of the hospital. It was also here that he met his wife who had been away for two years.
Of course, in the past two and a half years, Ye Han kept sleeping most of the time, and it felt like they were separated for two months at most.
Ye Han felt that Bai Xiaoting was not as happy to see him as he imagined, but a little depressed. After repeated questioning, he found out that Professor Qin left the earth half a year ago because of a heart problem, and now lives in Beiyuezhou, hoping that the low gravity of the moon will reduce the load on the heart. Reverse Professor Qin's condition.
In order to take care of the professor,
It has been more than half a year since Bai Xiaoting came out of hibernation.
However, the professor's situation has not improved with the change of the environment, even with Bai Xiaoting's care, it can only barely survive for half a year, the professor has no choice but to consider transplanting a heart, or switching to an artificial heart.
At the age of eight, no matter which option you choose, the risk of surgery is not so high.
Ye Han was very surprised. With Professor Qin's age and heart, how could he leave the earth in a spaceship, but the answer given by Bai Xiaoting was beyond his expectation. Professor Qin successfully lifted off after injecting a small amount of hibernin to lower his physiological state.
There are many similar cases in Beiyuezhou. Bai Xiaoting even suggested that Professor Qin inject hibernin, wait for the medical technology to treat him, or make a breakthrough in the artificial heart technology before resuscitating and then giving corresponding treatment.
The professor's health cast a shadow over Ye Han's return. Bai Xiaoting, who was originally lively and emotional, has become much calmer in the past six months, as if she had changed herself. do not adapt.
But he likes Bai Xiaoting's tender appearance very much, because she is more like a virtuous wife now, rather than that savage girlfriend who is full of personality and always self-centered-two years ago, she would never be like this now Sitting quietly beside Ye Han.
Time makes people grow, setbacks make people mature.
The knock on the door interrupted Ye Han's thoughts. He turned his head and looked at the door. Bai Xiaoting pressed Ye Han's shoulder: "Please come in!"
The door opened, and Xiao Yuan jumped in with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm here...Captain, I'm here to see you!"
"Come on, you're not alone!" Chi Wei pushed Xiao Yuan dissatisfied, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Hi sister-in-law!"
"Come in quickly." Bai Xiaoting let the two people into the ward, let them sit on the edge of the bed, first helped Ye Han up and leaned against the head of the bed with a pillow, and then poured two glasses of water and sent them over.
It's just different with gravity, and with a little care you can live like you're on Earth.
"Sister-in-law, don't be too busy, we are not outsiders." Xiao Yuan didn't see outsiders at all.
"That's right, sister-in-law doesn't care about the two of us." It was rare for Chi Wei to agree with Xiao Yuan.
Bai Xiaoting smiled and didn't answer, she sat on the edge of the bed and held Ye Han's hand.
Ye Han smiled at his wife, turned around and asked weakly: "Why are you two getting mixed up?"
Chi Wei chuckled: "He is my deputy now!"
Ye Han was very surprised: "Xiao Yuan, you also transferred to Beiyuezhou?"
"No, I was transferred to the Beiyuezhou Fleet... Captain, you don't know yet, right? The mobile infantry has been reorganized and divided into two. One half belongs to the army and is still called mobile infantry, and the other half becomes airborne and belongs to the space fleet. Call the Space Marines."
"Hell Paratrooper?" Ye Han was slightly startled.
"It's that thing, it's essentially the same, but it's not called that." Xiao Yuan felt aggrieved, "That's what the Yankees call it, Captain, you know, those officials in the northern capital are so old-fashioned, they don't call them hell paratroopers, space paratroopers , Orbital paratroopers and so on can be used to make ends meet, even the commando is better than the marines, but that kind of particularly prestigious name has been thrown away by Beidu as dross, and it is not used on us at all!"
"That's right." Ye Han smiled approvingly, "Our tradition is a little more rigid."
"It's more than just a little bit? Don't look at what age it is!" Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"That's enough, it's useless to say less, you're the only one who complains a lot, why are there so many strange words!" Chi Wei gave Xiao Yuan a hard look.
Xiao Yuan complained in dissatisfaction: "Look, captain, he dares to stare at me now, isn't Xianyu turned over? If I knew you were such a person, I should have taken care of you back then!"
"Cut, I'm afraid of you, I'll take care of you when I get back!" Chi Wei raised his fist in protest.
Ye Han chuckled lightly: "How are you brothers? That kid Liu Bin is lucky, he came back with me, and the two of us are close to death. It's fucking luck to come back alive."
"I saw him just now." Xiao Yuan showed a wretched smirk, "He's hooking up with a nurse, tell me, Captain, this kid can't even get out of bed...haha!"
