Eight Hundred and Seventieth Chapters, Good and Bad News
The arrival of the child did not change Ye Han's life. His daily focus is still on engineering boats and drilling rigs. However, after returning to the dormitory every day, he will check the communication records for the first time, share the video sent to him by Bai Xiaoting, and then send it to Bai Xiaoting. Reply for a paragraph.
It seemed that she wanted Ye Han to participate in the process of taking care of the child. Bai Xiaoting narrated everything in detail, such as what time the child got up, how long he liked to sleep, how many diapers he changed, etc., all told Ye Han.
Taking care of children is very hard. Even if Aunt Qiao tried her best to help, Bai Xiaoting still worked very hard. It would be better if there was only one child. Two children brought double joy but also double fatigue.
Although Bai Xiaoting has never regretted it, Ye Han's heart has always been tormented by something. In his own words, every day on Mars, the guilt in his heart will increase.
As time goes by, the number of wells needed on Phobos far exceeds that on Deimos, but the proficiency of the soldiers is not the same. When the child is full moon, the project on Phobos is coming to an end.
The news that the last well has passed the inspection came out, and all the team members cheered... Finally, they can go home!
Ye Han couldn't wait to report the situation to the headquarters, but there was no news from the first class, and no response from the second class. It took a long time for the Yushan to receive the communication from the earth.
After clicking on the communication, Huo Qiang appeared on the screen, with his hands crossed in front of him, his expression extremely solemn.
Ye Han suddenly remembered the communication that left the Yushan ship on Mars two months ago, and the alarm sounded in his mind, and he already had a bad feeling.
As expected, Huo Qiang said: "Ye Han, we have received your request, but after careful consideration and organizational discussions, the Yushan must stay on Mars... Sorry, I know you are very tired, and I am sorry." I know it’s time for you to come back, but you can’t ignore the reality... The earth is getting farther and farther away from Mars. At the current distance, it will take a two-month voyage. Today is December 8th, and Jupiter is expected to arrive in mid-May tomorrow. Mars, there is still half a year to go, we must hurry up and complete the preparations... You and your troops are the most familiar with the situation, and you will be needed for the next nuclear bomb placement... I won't say anything extra, let's execute the order."
After the communication ended, Ye Han's eyes stared straight, and he was stunned for a while before recovering.
After straightening out his thoughts, he immediately sent a video to Huo Qiang: "Chief, I have received the order. Since it is an order, there is nothing to say. I will implement it firmly, but I want to ask, after the nuclear bomb is installed, Yu Shan Is it possible to go back? The soldiers are all looking forward to going home, I have to give the soldiers an explanation, right?"
"And when will the nuclear bombs be delivered? To tell you the truth, Xu Moliang is the commander-in-chief. He is more familiar with the situation than us. As long as the nuclear bombs send a few people over, they will definitely be able to do the resettlement work. There is no need at all. We... also, can we withdraw after the nuclear bomb is installed?"
"Chief, it's not that I'm petty. We can't be a man-made disaster, right? The army has sacrificed so much, and I have been an engineer on Mars for more than two months. Not to mention the soldiers, even I have thoughts in my heart. If If there is no explanation, this team will not be able to lead.”
"Finally, I still have some requests. One is to know about Wang Zhifei's situation. Of course, I just want to know non-confidential information; and how is the situation on the earth? Are Africa and South America not improving yet? Soldiers are particularly concerned. This matter, I am afraid that the ant colony will spread to the world, and I want to know the situation of the pest disaster in China."
After clicking send, the video flew to the distant earth. It took more than half an hour to go back and forth, plus the preparation time, and Huo Qiang didn't reply after waiting for an hour.
Ye Han couldn't wait any longer, so he asked someone to watch him. Unexpectedly, Huo Qiang's reply came back, and he hurried back to watch the video.
In the video, Huo Qiang still looked the same, and said in a heavy tone: "Ye Han, I really hope that you can come back, and I will try my best to help you fight for it.
But whether I can come back is not up to me alone. Now I really can't promise you anything. I hope you can explain it to the soldiers. "
"I don't know when the nuclear bomb will be delivered, but it must not be recently. I can only say that I will do my best in terms of manpower... Another thing is that the battle report of the Third Fleet has been approved, and the Marine Corps will be awarded collective first-class merit. , I won’t list my personal honors one by one, you can read the bulletin later.”
"I do know something about Wang Zhifei's situation, but it's all confidential, and I can't tell you for the time being; the country is still the same, and it is not bad, but there is also good news. The situation in Africa and South America has improved. It is impossible to spread globally, I sent you a video, and you can watch the details yourself."
After the communication ended, Ye Han sighed helplessly, clicked on the attachment in the communication, and the new video replaced Huo Qiang's old face.
This is an aerial video. On the left side of the camera is the human defense line. The defense line made of steel and concrete is in full swing. There is also a star-spangled flag flying on the defense line. At a glance, you can tell that it is the Panama defense line built by the Americans.
On the right side of the screen is an open space densely covered with corpses of giant ants. There are large and small bomb craters everywhere, and countless insect corpses cover the ground. Moreover, it is close to the coast, and there is even a layer of corpses of giant ants floating with the current on the sea.
A few words of foreign language came out from the speaker, and then the camera shook for a while, and the screen was deflected to the right. The overwhelming colony of ants stepped on the corpses of their companions, rushing towards the US military defense line like a tide.
"Oh my god! on, on!"
Ye Han was very puzzled, why did he feel that the excitement in the foreigner's tone was more than fear?
The camera zoomed back to the line of defense, and Ye Han was surprised to see a row of gates opened below the line of defense at some point, and giant caterpillars lined up were slowly driving out of the line of defense, driving unhurriedly towards the oncoming ant colony.
That's right, it's a giant crawler. It can be seen that this thing is a special vehicle. The car body is huge and strong. The track, which is a little wider than the car body, is so thick that it wraps the whole car from head to toe like a cover. It is thick armor and a solid fence.
Ye Han couldn't help being stunned, what the hell is this? Is it possible that Americans want to crush giant ants with this thing?
It really made him guess right. The giant tracked vehicles lined up one after the other and rolled forward, while the giant ants rushed up regardless. After a while, the two sides collided. , Countless giant ants were crushed under the tracked vehicle, and Ye Han seemed to hear the crisp sound of insect shells shattering.
