196. Tradition
The supercarriers Paris and Lanzhou, which had been the most damaged in the previous battles, slowly broke away from the huge interstellar supercarrier fleet, and twenty of the frigates composed of hundreds of interstellar cruisers within a light-light radius around the interstellar carrier formation also quietly broke away from it and disappeared into this space with the two supercarriers.
"What? Norfolk Naval Moorth is being invaded? ”
"Huh? The Confederacy invaded the entire galaxy? ”
Rear Admiral Mentelaire's two successive exclamations expressed his present amazement.
Just a few minutes earlier, thirty-four minutes before the task force was approaching the galaxy after flying at cruising speed in the jump tunnel, they had received detailed information from the galaxy.
In this information, the situation in the galaxy and the battle situation in the two minutes before receiving this information were updated in real time, although they had received a briefing about the attack on the galaxy through quantum communication before, but everyone did not expect the situation to change so quickly.
Everyone had thought it was just a feint attempt by the Confederates to plunder, but now the terrifying Confederate fleet was igniting war almost everywhere at the edge of the galaxy, and Confederate reinforcements from all over the universe were being sent to the galaxy.
After calming down a little, Rear Admiral Mentlale and the captain of the Lanzhou decided to temporarily jump out of the transition passage and wait for the follow-up instructions.
Along with the information sent before, there was also the instruction to wait for the order, the previous destination of the task force: Norfolk Naval Anchorage, which is now under attack by the Fifteen Clan Alliance, and the two planetary bases have been destroyed, and now the anchorage has secured the battle line near the seventh planet of the Norfolk star system, and may counterattack at any time when the support of the surrounding planetary defense force orbital fleet arrives.
But the two bases that happened to be destroyed were the original supercarrier maintenance points.
While there are a large number of supercarrier moorings vacated in the Confederacy, most of them are not maintenance points, as the vast majority of supercarriers are now being transferred out of the galaxy and into the Confederacy's heartland. In addition, most of the existing maintenance points are actually moored with supercarriers under maintenance. And the maintenance points are not yet universal. The maintenance and repair of the Paris and Lanzhou ships required the same as the standard base docks that emerged after the largest number of Winter Wind classes today.
So under a series of coincidences, the relatively close maintenance points could not be used by the two supercarriers.
In fact, the most suitable for the maintenance and repair of the supercarriers of the Paris and Lanzhou supercarriers is in the solar system, and the distance from the current task force is not very far, but unfortunately, where is still a forbidden area, the UN only deployed a few cruisers and a space station and probes there after the solar system battle.
However, the UN Fleet Command promised to send supplies to the task force first. After all, the two ships are not broken and unusable now, but just an internal inspection and overhaul for the sake of overall safety.
Judging from the appearance and the current data on paper, thanks to the efforts of the nanomachines and the maintenance crew, the internal anti-sinking structures of the two supercarriers and the other escort cruisers have basically been repaired, and there is no problem at all in fighting again.
Of course, the two aircraft carriers have not yet been fully repaired, so the outer armor plates are still in a state of potholes and tatters, which looks a bit miserable.
"This is the room, uh. It may be noted that the hot water switch in the bathroom needs to be turned around and then turned according to the sign to produce hot water. ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Ankang sent one of his colleagues to the living room he was going to, then turned around and led another drone commander to the living room he was assigned to.
There is actually a lot going on inside the Paris and Lanzhou, and after the battle, the fleet intends to pack up the two most seriously injured supercarriers, along with some other damaged cruisers and frigates, and send them back to the mainland of the galaxy for repairs.
Therefore, some of the rotating personnel and troops in the fleet who have been fighting for a long time that should be repaired also need to be sent back to the mainland of the galaxy, so it is just right to let the two supercarriers be a transport group, after all, the supercarrier itself is very large, and the area of the living area outside the structure is also very scary, excluding the area that occupies two-thirds of the hangar and the living area outside the structure.
And now Ankang, the people and crew who had come in before, acted as guides to take the new colleagues to their places of residence for the next few days.
Although ships now have automatic wayfinding and guidance devices, modern advanced AI is capable of guiding tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people. However, as a custom, when there are basically enough people, the "old man" will take the "newcomer" to the place of residence when the new people on the UNSF ship are settled.
This tradition has been maintained for about three hundred and fifty years now.
The living quarters of a supercarrier are usually located in the upper right or upper left of the ship. Concealed under the thick main armor belt, the crew's personal belongings are protected from most of the threats.
However, in space warfare, the current simple armor naturally cannot completely guarantee the things inside the ship, and the living area itself also has the design purpose of the damage control compartment, so the crew usually does not choose to bring large personal belongings, and the vast majority of valuable or important personal belongings will choose to carry with them.
On a supercarrier, the living compartment is one for one person. The area is about twenty square meters, and both officers and soldiers are the same. It is more than enough for a person, and even a simple exercise can be carried out, so it can be said that the living conditions are very generous. However, this also leads to the fact that the living area of the entire ship is extraordinarily large compared to the warships of many civilizations, and the living area divided into several floors is as large as the residential area on the planet, and there are scattered "buildings", the difference is only that the "blue sky and white clouds" here are only holographic projections. And in fact, every building has a ceiling, leaving no room for opulence.
After transporting everyone in his charge to the quartering pod they were going to, Ankang stretched out and stepped onto his hoverboard and floated towards his cabin.
Along the way, you can see many familiar faces floating past him with new faces on the hoverboard, and occasionally greeting each other.
[Having said that, I feel like I haven't made any friends in this era for a year. It's always one person]
After saying good afternoon to each other with a drone commander who had met several times, Ankang, who had come back to his senses, suddenly thought of this matter, and then couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
[Am I doing something wrong?]
After hesitating for a moment, Ankang felt as if it was indeed his own reason.
Although people always say that they are the least aware of themselves, they must be able to notice many of their own problems, as long as they are not too rigid or narcissistic in the area of interpersonal communication, then if there is really a situation where there are no friends, then people will definitely know that the subjective cause is the key.
Ankang thought about it carefully and found that he was in a state of training and combat most of the time, whether it was a recruit training base, on the battlefield or in a great expedition, the communication with people was basically in the kind of business. It's better to say that everyone is not isolated now, and it is better for the people of this era to be themselves.
[Why don't you try a different way of treating people?]
"Huh? This is "(To be continued.) )
