On July 14, 2027, the transformation of the first engineering ship was completed.

Time was pressing, the spacecraft had just been completed, and the crew who had already been ready took over the spacecraft and piloted the spacecraft for a two-hour sea trial, and after confirming that there was no problem with the power system, the engineering ship immediately set off.

That is, human astronautics technology has made great progress, and spacecraft can depart anytime and anywhere, if the time is advanced by a few years, any vehicle flying to Mars will have to wait for the nearest window of the two planets!

If the engineering ship departs during the window, it only takes one month to reach Mars, and now it takes an extra month to fly.

Not to mention a month, given the current position of the earth, a few months will not wait for the window period, and the military would rather spend a little more fuel and time than send the engineering ship to Mars in the shortest possible time, which is completely worth it.

The engineering ship was just the beginning, the orbital factory undertook the construction of all the spacecraft of the firepower program, and for a period of time after that, the orbital factory was fully operational, and more than a dozen super engine ships were built in one go.

September 12, 2027, Third Fleet.

Like a drowning person suddenly surfaced, Ye Han took a sharp breath, woke up from the cold slumber, his thoughts gradually returned to his brain, and Ye Han began to regain the movement of his limbs according to the standard procedure.

Look left and right, he is the only one in the huge hibernation cabin to wake up, and he suddenly has a bad premonition - if he returns to the earth, everyone must wake up together, and there are only two situations to wake up alone, one is that the spacecraft accidentally starts the awakening program, and the other is that the spacecraft receives an order to wake up someone!

Ye Han had been wandering around with all kinds of speculations in his mind, and as soon as he regained his mobility, he couldn't wait to leave the hibernation cabin. As soon as he drifted into the corridor, the hatch next door also opened, and a person jumped out of the door, almost colliding with Ye Han.

Ye Han grabbed the man's arm, and the two of them held their arms and floated around the corridor several times like bamboo dragonflies.

"Lin Yi? Are you awake too? Know what's going on? Ye Han asked first.

Lin Yi shook his head blankly: "I don't know!" ”

Ye Han glanced behind Lin Yi: "Is there anyone else?" ”

"It's gone." Lin Yi said, "I'm the only one." ”

Ye Han was even more convinced of his guess: "Let's go, go to the bridge immediately." ”

The two of them drifted to the bridge one after the other, although they did not wear flight equipment, but after the Yushan carried out the landing mission, the size of the spacecraft was reduced by two-thirds, and it was the smallest spaceship in the entire fleet, and the hibernation cabin and the bridge were only separated by two corridors and three decks, and the two people only took a few minutes to arrive at the bridge.

Lin Yi stopped outside the hatch and opened the hatch with his fingerprints, and when the hatch opened, all the lights in the bridge were turned on, and all the equipment was automatically turned on.

The two floated into the bridge, Lin Yi quickly sat in the command chair, fastened his seat belt and pressed it on the armrest, a thin screen fell in front of Lin Yi from above, Lin Yi's fingers quickly clicked twice on the screen, and called up the communication record of the Yushan.

"Here!" Lin Yi pointed to the screen and said, "There was a communication record half an hour ago!" ”

Ye Han floated behind the command chair, staring at the screen curiously: "What content?" ”

Lin Yi clicked on the record, and a video window automatically popped up in the record, and Lin Yi clicked his finger again, and the video started playing.

Huo Qiang, who was dressed in military uniform, appeared in the video, his hands crossed on the desk in front of him, and the heaviness in his eyes could be felt even through the screen: "Ye Han, you will be on Mars soon, right?" I'm sorry, but Yushan was supposed to come back with the Third Fleet, but the situation has changed, and Yushan must stay on Mars! ”

Ye Han and Lin Yi were stunned at the same time, and the two of them subconsciously looked at each other, and they both read the surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.

Huo Qiang on the screen continued: "Beidu has formulated a new plan, preparing to block Ganymede on Mars, I won't say much about the specific situation, you read the documents yourself, what I want to say is that you must stay on Mars and wait for the engineering ship, if nothing else, the engineering ship should arrive on Mars in seven days, I need you and your troops to cooperate with the engineering ship...... Ye Han, I know that your lover is about to give birth, and it is a last resort to leave you on Mars at this time, and I will definitely make proper arrangements on your lover's side to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

At the end of the video, the huge guilt eroded Ye Han's heart, and he was not good.

He is a soldier, but he is also a husband, and he is the father of the child, he has always hoped that he can be by Bai Xiaoting's side when the child is born, if he follows the Third Fleet to catch up, there is still a chance to return to Earth in time, but God will make people, stay on Mars at this time, Bai Xiaoting will definitely not be able to go back when she gives birth.

Since he became a soldier, rumors that his wife and children can't go back, and his parents can't return home after they pass away have always existed, and even the protagonists of many legends are by his side, but he never thought that such a bloody encounter would happen to him.

Pregnancy, childbirth, confinement, and the three stages when women need men the most are not by Bai Xiaoting's side, and when he thinks of this, his heart is as uncomfortable as a knife.

Lin Yi found that Ye Han's expression was wrong, and asked cautiously and softly, "Chief, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ye Han's face was gloomy: "It's okay, send me the documents!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Yi hurriedly agreed, and immediately transferred the document to Ye Han's personal terminal.

Ye Han turned on the portable computer on his wrist, clicked on the document he had just received, and just floated in the air to read the content of the document.

He read very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to have a general understanding of the beginning and end of the Mars project and the content, and when he turned around, Lin Yi's eyes were still fixed on the screen.

Ye Han didn't care so much at all, and asked bluntly, "How far is it from Mars?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately called up the voyage data: "There are still two days to go." ”

"The ship is yours." Ye Han said, "I'll go back and study the plan." ”

"Don't worry." Lin Yi patted his chest with confidence.

Ye Han nodded and left the bridge, Lin Yi let out a long breath and wiped a handful on his forehead without half a drop of sweat: "Alas, my mother, it's finally gone!" ”

Although Ye Han didn't say anything, as long as he had eyes, he could see how low the air pressure on his face was, and no matter how stupid Lin Yi was, he knew that Ye Han was very resistant to the order he had just received.

To tell the truth, he was also very dissatisfied with this order, but what if he was not satisfied?

Military orders are not empty sentences, and as long as a soldier receives an order, he must carry it out, and there is no reason to talk about it, and there is no room for talking about conditions.
