Chapter 308: Return and Disarmament
In the starry sky, a faint light shimmered from the moon's orbit towards the blue star.
Compared to before, the orbit of the Blue Moon system has reduced the amount of space junk a lot.
The space battleship Huo Quzhi, which is spewing plasma and neutron streams, is returning from lunar orbit to Blue Star Low Earth Orbit, and its destination is Xinjiuquan Satellite City.
It takes about 7 hours to get from the moon to the new Jiuquan Satellite City, and the space voyage is not as good as ordinary people think.
The Huo Quzhi class is a space battleship designed in a hurry, and in terms of comfort and humanized design, it can only be said to be barely strong.
The first generation of products have such and such small problems, if it were not for nanorobots and neutrino detectors, Huo Quzhi would not know how many accidents have occurred.
Wang Gangsheng, who was a bit addicted to cigarettes, poured a piece of tobacco chewing gum and threw it into his mouth to chew this strange tobacco chewing gum.
On one side is Luo Feng, who is floating on the roof of the cabin, he is reading an e-book, although he can swallow dates through the biological computer, Luo Feng still likes to browse and read directly.
"Captain, do you want to go back to Blue Star?" Gunner Zhou Yuan asked boredly.
"Not yet." Luo Feng refused to take a leave to return to the Blue Star Ground.
Because he knew that Blue Star's space transport flight resources were very tight, and whether it was going up or down outer space, there was obviously a shortage of capacity.
"Then I'm not going back."
Luo Feng frowned: "Ah Yuan, this is not a mandatory requirement, you are the same, if you want to return to Blue Star, apply immediately." ”
After all, this is a regulation of the War Council, and there are 5 days of family leave every month during the normal service, and he just personally does not want to go back to Blue Star, which cannot be imposed on all comrades.
"Uh...... Captain, I really don't want to go back. ”
"Don't force yourself, you want to go back and apply as soon as possible." Luo Feng persuaded.
In the face of Luo Feng's persuasion, everyone is still very conscious, and understands that the space transportation resources of the new human beings at this stage should not be wasted on visiting relatives.
Now is the beginning of the difficult period, and when this period of time has passed, the space transport force has come up, and it is not too late to return to Blue Star.
Luo Feng also had no choice but to continue to bury his head in reading.
Time flies.
Huo Quai's slowly stopped at the dock of the new Jiuquan Satellite City.
Engineers from the New Jiuquan Shipyard quickly took over the Huo Qu Sick and prepared to carry out a complete renovation of the Huo Qu Sick.
For example, the first-generation nuclear fusion engine will be replaced with the second-generation nuclear fusion engine, some facilities of the cockpit and rest compartment will be modified, and a 300-ton cabin will be added.
Luo Feng floated on the traffic pipe, and through the transparent compartment, he could see that a space battleship much larger than Huo Quai's was being processed on the dock next to the Huo Quai.
"Is this the Xinxing provincial level?" Xiao Bing exclaimed.
"It should be." Luo Feng knew that the Mars Expeditionary Fleet would be equipped with 2~3 Xinxing provincial space warships.
Wang Gangsheng, who floated to the side, asked, "Our new flagship should be the new provincial level, right?"
"It depends." Luo Feng didn't pack the ticket.
In general, the flagship of the fleet has several considerations, one of the indicators is that survivability must be strong enough.
In the aircraft carrier fleet in the era of the Common Era, aircraft carriers were not used as flagships, mainly because the targets were too large and easy to be set on fire.
And the Space Fleet will also refer to this situation, and may set the flagship on a first-class battleship, or it may be set on a second-class battleship, depending on the situation.
Luo Feng took a group of crew members to report to the office of the War Committee in the New Jiuquan Satellite City, and then stayed in the dormitory arranged by the War Committee for a week.
Because the renovation project of Huo Qu's sick number will take a week.
After taking a shower, Luo Feng was refreshed. The cramped cabin on the Huo Qu sick will make people feel very depressed, and more than a dozen people are crowded together, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
When they came to the public canteen in the new Jiuquan Satellite City, Wang Gangsheng, Zhou Yuan and others were already eating.
"Captain, would you like a bottle?" Wang Gangsheng asked, holding a specially designed wine bottle.
"And wine?" Luo Feng took it.
Wang Gangsheng explained: "A winery in my hometown has just launched a space product, and I heard from the canteen master that it was delivered only the day before yesterday. ”
Luo Feng opened the cap of the bottle and took a sip: "Whew, yes, I haven't drunk such a good rice wine for a long time." ”
Wang Gangsheng smiled while holding the sauced beef: "Haha, the green and red wine in my hometown is good, right?"
"Good stuff."
After speaking, Luo Feng floated towards the dining table, looking at the dazzling array of vegetables, fruits and meats, he hurriedly took a large batch.
On the Huo Qu Sickness, there are only a few kinds of food that come and go, how can there be the freshness and abundance here in the new Jiuquan Satellite City.
Unlike food on the ground, space food is vacuum-packed, and it has some heavy flavors, because astronauts have varying degrees of taste degradation.
Picking up a bag of microwave-heated spicy beef, opening the sealing tape, Luo Feng took a sip of green and red wine and a mouthful of spicy beef.
Zhou Yuan, who was on the side, would squeeze out an orange juice ball from the orange juice bottle, and then suck the orange juice ball floating in front of him into his mouth.
After eating a bag of spicy beef, Luo Feng picked up a bag of small tomatoes, and they hadn't eaten fresh fruits and vegetables for more than a month during the long space voyage.
Everyone ate a lot of vegetables and fruits, because the new human digestive system is aided by biological computers, and there are no taboos on food.
"Whew!" Calling the last sip of green and red wine into his mouth, Luo Feng floated in the cafeteria, and the whole person felt a sense of satisfaction.
Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light.
"Luo Feng, long time no see."
Well? Luo Feng, who opened his eyes, saw a familiar figure, and blurted out and asked, "Aren't you kid in the North Atlantic Fleet?"
The man had a flat head, his eyes were obviously bright, and he pulled Luo Feng to his seat before he opened his mouth to explain: "I have been transferred to the Space Force, and I will take care of my little brother in the Mars Expeditionary Fleet in the future." ”
"You are the commander of the Tiandan fleet, why did you choose the Space Force?" Luo Feng asked with a smile.
Fang Shengliang complained speechlessly: "Now that there are no enemies inside Blue Star, is it possible that the fleet uses gamma rays to fight mosquitoes?"
"That's just as well." Luo Feng remembered some rumors a few days ago.
I heard that the War Council is preparing to cut the army in the Blue Star, and it is estimated that the legions in the star will be reduced to about 3%, and then some of them will be transferred to the space force.
Obviously, this is the general trend, after all, there are no enemies inside Blue Star, and there is no need to maintain a super-large army.
The War Committee wants to focus on the Space Force, and the future enemies will all appear outside the Blue Moon System, and it is enough to maintain a certain amount of strength inside the Blue Star, focusing on the universe outside the Blue Star.
Luo Feng and Fang Shengliang are old classmates and comrades-in-arms, and the two talked about a lot of things about the moon and Blue Star.
From the other party's mouth, Luo Feng is even more sure that the great disarmament is inevitable, and the wheels of history are rolling in.
"Shengliang, your old man agreed to your transfer to the Mars Expeditionary Fleet?"
"It's a new era now, his kind of old antique should be disarmed and returned to the field, and I will decide for myself." Fang Sheng replied nonchalantly.
Luo Feng shook his head helplessly.
In fact, the New Human Army is not monolithic, such as Fang Shengliang, Luo Feng and other young Zhuang factions, and Wang Zhen and other old factions do not look at each other.
Perhaps this is what the faculty said, "there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strangeness", and everyone is always different.
