422 Lost and Found
October 12, 2206, Giant Star.
Two commandos who acted as sentries stood on the ridge of the ship with rifles, one of them was lying on the ground with a sniper rifle, the scope was aimed at the camp of the outer skeleton man more than ten kilometers away, the captured picture was displayed on the helmet, and the elbow turned over to his companion and said: "Lao He, the outer bone mongrel still hasn't moved today, it seems that there is nothing to do today." ”
"Not really!" Lao He moved his arms, "It's been three days of fucking, I've been used to it during this time, and I'm so idle that I'm uncomfortable these days." ”
Since Ye Fei invented the DIY version of the nuclear bomb, the war between humans and the Outer Skeleton has entered a strange state of confrontation.
The Outer Skeletons continued to increase their troops, and they tried to break through the obstruction and occupy the wreckage of the Yangtze River, but each group charge would end with a nuclear explosion.
They also tried to change the traditional group pig tactics, but as soon as the budding skirmish line appeared, they were swept into the garbage heap by the sweeping laser array, and the battle returned to square one.
In order to deal with difficult humans, the Exoskeletons constantly try to build large war creatures.
After the first attempt was accidentally interrupted, the Skeleton learned wisely, moved the "build base" to a distance of fifty kilometers from the ship, and launched a long, large-scale diversion feint during the days when the war creatures were being built.
The unknown human beings were busy dealing with the attack of the outer bone people, and they did not find the slightest abnormality of the enemy army, and it was not until two days later that thousands of tank-sized six-legged beetles with heavy outer armor entered the battle, and Ye Fei realized what the outer bone mongrels were crazy about these days.
Although the round six-legged beetle is very difficult, it is still vulnerable to the bombardment of nuclear bombs. The painstaking solitude of the Outer Bone Man still ended in failure.
After that, whenever Ye Fei found an abnormal gathering of the Exoskeleton on the satellite map, he would pay special attention to it, and if a group of Exoskeleton Figures stayed in a certain location for more than six hours, they would immediately attract a ruthless bombardment of nuclear bombs.
The DIY version of the nuclear bomb needs to be detonated by a laser cannon, and the laser cannon not only needs to be powered by the reactor, but the effective range is also affected by atmospheric conditions, so the scope of the bombing is concentrated near the battleship. In order to get rid of the "construction base" secretly made by the Outer Bone Man, Ye Fei had to use the only remaining genuine nuclear bomb.
The loss of the Outer Bone Man is worse than a day, and after a long time, even the Outer Bone nobles who don't take cannon fodder seriously can't bear it. The attack could only be stopped sullenly. Tens of thousands of outer skeleton men drew an encirclement with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, enclosing the battleship and the beast mountain in the middle.
"Come on, you don't know what our situation is now, let's fight two more times. The ammunition depot was empty. "Snipers have a calm temperament. I don't think there's anything wrong with the truce at all.
The outer bone man is uncomfortable. The human side is not much better, there are fewer people and more battles, and the whole regiment is already exhausted. Find a group of temporary team members to make up the number in order to give the regular team members some time to rest.
Ye Fei has been fighting with sufficient logistics since he joined the army, and now that a single ship is wrecked in Giant Star, all the materials have to be calculated, seeing that the material reserves are decreasing day by day, Grand Master Ye almost lost his gray hair.
As time passes, there is less and less time to use live-fire weapons, replaced by laser cannons and coil defenses around the battleship, after all, electricity is nothing to the Yangtze River with sufficient fusion fuel, and if the ammunition in reserve is used up, the commandos' weapons will all be turned into burning sticks - coils and laser cannons can only be fixed on the battleship for use, and there is no telling when the soldiers need to leave the ship to perform the mission, and you can't let everyone carry the saber and the outer bone man desperately, right?
All in all, human beings can only shrink and hold on, and the outer bone people can never get in, and no one can help anyone.
Lao He sat down on the ground with a rifle: "You said, the outer bone mongrel fought so happily a few days ago, what are you trying to do now?" ”
"How do I know these things? Let's let the captain and the regiment commander worry about it. The sniper looked up at the sky, and the cloudless sky was about to be completely covered by large dark clouds, "It's going to rain again, this hellish place, there is a lot of land and little water, and there is a lot of rain." ”
"Okay, okay, Sensei said those useless, I can't pour you in the armor." Before the words fell, a blue-purple lightning bolt suddenly fell from the distant sky.
The two left the ship's ridge tacitly, and in such weather, the Outer Bone Man would never attack. It's not that they're afraid of water, it's that they're afraid of thunder!
Originally, the Outer Bone Man didn't have this problem, but not long ago, the Outer Bone Man braved a thunderstorm to attack, and it didn't take long for the attacking Outer Bone Man to be killed by the intermittent landing thunder.
The outer bone people have lived on the bone mound for many years, and when they see the rain, it is very fresh, how do they know what thunder is? The result is naturally extremely sad - the beast mountain falls on the plain, and the Yangtze River is erected on the beast mountain, and the real height is still so big a piece of metal, it is a large lightning rod, and it is strange not to lead the lightning.
If Lao He and the sniper were still on the ship's ridge, they would have to turn into humanoid lightning rods.
The pouring rain fell on time, and the sky and the earth were vast, and the rain fell on the vitrified ground, slowly converging into a continuous puddle.
Heavy rain poured down at the same time as the communication equipment cabin.
Ruan Peng nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead, and steadily adjusted the resonance communication device with his right hand.
Although the impact force during the fall damaged a lot of equipment, the resonance communication instrument had a special protection device and was not damaged in the fall. However, the fall caused the three intact reactors to activate the emergency shutdown mechanism, and the battleship was in a state of power loss before the reactor restarted, and the resonant atoms inside the resonance communicator stopped vibrating due to the power failure, which was the most fatal trouble.
Ruan Peng, who was in charge of the communication equipment, had been back to the battleship for almost twenty days, and basically all his energy was focused on how to repair the communication device. It's just that the principle of the communicator is simple, but it is not easy to repair, the resonant atom not only has to vibrate by itself, but also has to be the same as the frequency of the paired atom!
Ruan Peng had no ability to repair the communicator at all, so he could only find a repair manual as thick as a brick and slowly debug it.
Just when Ruan Peng stopped debugging, I don't know how many times Lu Dao fell helplessly on the spot. A strange situation happened, after he stopped interfering with the state of the atom, the vibration of the atom did not stop!
Ruan Peng was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes, and it took a while to realize what was happening, he jumped up suddenly, staggered all the way into the bridge, and hissed and roared like a dead mother: "I've succeeded, I've succeeded-"
"Shout what? What have you accomplished? Ye Fei almost didn't let this wolf howl sit on the ground in fright, and suddenly glared angrily.
Ye Fei never expected Ruan Peng's two knives to be able to repair the communication device, but he was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. It's just a little bit of personnel. So I didn't even realize what was going on.
Ruan Peng was so excited that he burst into tears: "Captain, I succeeded, and there is movement in the communication instrument." ”
All the people in the bridge who heard this stopped what they were doing and stared at Ruan Peng with wide eyes.
"What? Are you serious! Ye Fei stood up. Because the action is too urgent. I slipped and almost didn't fall.
When Ruan Peng heard this, his eyes immediately turned red: "How dare I talk nonsense about this!" ”
Although Ye Fei felt that Ruan Peng's repair of the communication device was a bit unreliable. But he also knew that this kid was not a nonsense talker, so he hurriedly urged: "Give it a try!" ”
Ruan Peng sat back on the communication station, and there was a sudden silence in the bridge.
glanced at Ye Fei. Looking at the familiar communication station again, Ruan Peng's heart was pounding with nervousness, and he took a deep breath to turn on the communication device: "Yangtze River call headquarters, Yangtze River call headquarters, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it-" There was no reply in the communication instrument, but the instrument showed that everything was normal, which eased Ruan Peng's uneasy mood, and he called again.
Some of the bridge officers had already begun to wonder if the communication device had been repaired, but Ye Fei tightened his face and stood quietly behind Ruan Peng.
Time passed minute by minute, Ruan Peng called over and over again, the hope in his eyes gradually dissipated, and finally turned into despair: "Captain, I-"
The disappointed Ye Fei waved his hand: "It's okay, you wouldn't have repaired this." He comforted Ruan Peng on his lips, but the disappointment in his heart was by no means a little bit.
Ruan Peng was about to turn off the communicator in a frustrated manner, his fingers pressed the switch, and suddenly there was a chaotic noise in the communicator, and everyone was stunned again.
What's the situation?
Ruan Peng's whole person was stunned with joy, he couldn't believe his ears!
Ye Fei rushed to the communication station, and before he could speak, the other party opened his mouth first: "Hey, that, who's on this frequency?" ”
The other party speaks Chinese!
This discovery made Ye Fei surprised and delighted: "I am the Yangtze River, I am the Yangtze River, please answer when you hear it!" ”
"What? Yangtze River? The other party's tone was unusually surprised, "How is it possible?" This, this, this is incredible! ”
Ye Fei frowned, why is this person so rude? The whole bridge was looking at him, and he couldn't be coaxed at this time: "What's incredible, it's true that our battleship crashed, but it hasn't sunk yet!" His words were rather unkind, and there was no need to be polite.
It's true that the Yangtze River crashed, but it hasn't reached the point where the ship is destroyed and people die, what's incredible?
Although the official does not clarify the conditions for the use of crash and sunk, these two words are two completely different concepts in the Celestial Army, the former represents the battleship falling into the planet and cannot take off, and does not reflect the specific reason for the inability to take off, nor does it reflect the specific state of the personnel; The latter represents the complete destruction of the warship, either in the air or on the surface, and indicates that personnel are in a state of emergency in urgent need of rescue.
The person who thanked him on the other side also found that his words were wrong, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." I am the representative of the 766 factory army, and this matter is all a misunderstanding! ”
The guy on the other side, who claimed to be the representative of the army, explained it well, and Ye Fei and the others understood what was going on.
The resonance communication device is a pair of two units, one of which is placed in the defense of the Heavenly Army's tightly guarded and impregnable communication base, and the other is placed on a warship or other place where the resonance communication device needs to be used.
To put it another way, if the Yangtze River wants to communicate with the Yanjing, the content of the communication must be received by the communication base, recorded and sent to the Yanjing at the same time.
Fortunately, resonance communication is not affected by distance, at least for the time being, the distance of tens of light years has no effect on communication.
This seems unreasonable, but if it is not arranged, the Yanjing will have to install more than a dozen communication instruments, and it can only communicate with each ship on a single line. The connection between the ships also requires the Yanjing to transit, and once the Yanjing is wrecked, the entire fleet will become a plate of scattered sand.
Factory 766 is actually a military factory that produces resonance communication instruments, just two communication instruments off the assembly line, is debugging resonance, I didn't expect that one of them has not yet reacted, the other not only began to vibrate, but also received communication!
Those responsible for the production of confidential communication equipment are not only technically excellent, but also politically reliable. They didn't answer privately. Instead, report the situation immediately!
Factory 766 is a military factory, but the workers in the factory are not soldiers, and the only active military personnel who can be found in the entire factory area are military representatives who are responsible for controlling the quality of products.
A communication device that has just come off the assembly line has contacted an unknown terminal, how can the military representatives not be surprised?
After explaining the misunderstanding. Wang Qi, the military representative, held back the curiosity in his heart and said, "That." I'm not of a high level, though. But often look at the news, you just mentioned the crash, but as far as I know. There has been no recent news or internal documents to convey the news of the crash. I don't know which unit you are, and I don't have the qualifications to know it, but for such a big matter, I have to transfer your news out of Ludao, which department should I contact? As the military representative of the 766 factory, Wang Qi knows very well what kind of unit is qualified to be equipped with a resonance communication instrument, and he is naturally very polite when he speaks.
So far, the military's communications devices have only been equipped with the expeditionary force and the Saturn base, and some of them have been traded with the United States and Russia.
Ye Fei mentioned the Yangtze River, and Wang Qi guessed that it was a battleship, but he didn't know which battleship the Yangtze River was in the expeditionary force!
Ye Fei didn't want to think about it and said, "Heavenly Army, you contact Heavenly Army immediately, the sooner the better!" He never thought that Ruan Peng had been tinkering for so long, and he actually matched a new communication device, wouldn't this be equivalent to breaking up a loving couple, and not long after a second marriage?
"I'll do it right away!" Wang Qi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately began to contact his superiors - it was impossible for his level to directly contact the top level of the Heavenly Army, so he could only contact the superiors of the system first, and then contact the Heavenly Army through the superiors.
Wang Qi's words were transmitted to the Yangtze River through the communication instrument, and they were clear word by word.
This matter was a bit too unexpected, Wang Qi had to explain it well, and then he explained what happened, but he knew that his superiors might not be qualified to know about the crash of the battleship, so he did not mention the crash vigilantly, only said that a new machine had established a connection with an unknown terminal, and the other party asked to contact the Heavenly Army immediately.
The news was passed on layer by layer, and after learning of the news, the high-level leaders of the General Logistics Department immediately established contact with Wu Han, commander of the Heavenly Army.
When Wu Han heard what had happened, he couldn't sit still.
A new machine and a warship that has been connected to your own means that one of the warships is out of the normal communication network, is this okay? He immediately contacted Wang Qi, who was anxiously waiting, directly.
After receiving a high-level confidential communication from the military's communications network, Wang Qi was both excited and excited, and hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube, and gave a detailed introduction to the situation, explaining clearly what had happened, and not being verbose.
When Commander Wu heard the three words of the Yangtze River, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed.
Although the Yangtze River disappeared because it took the initiative to lure away the stubborn beast in the battle, and the Heavenly Army also received the news of the crash and sent a rescue, no one knows what happened to the Yangtze River after it lost contact.
The distance of twenty-nine light years is simply an insurmountable barrier in a universe with countless dangers, how could the personnel on the crashed battleship wait for more than three months?
If the Yangtze River hadn't disappeared in battle, I'm afraid that Wu Han, the commander, would have been dismissed from his post long ago, and even so, Commander Wu has been under great pressure these days. The Celestial Army has even secretly made preparations, just waiting for rescue forces to find the wreckage of the Yangtze River and confirm that no one survived to announce the crash and hold a memorial service.
Commander Wu never expected to receive a communication from the Yangtze River!
The excited Commander Wu told Wang Qi to protect the communicator, and then immediately told several old comrades-in-arms the good news, and directly sent a spacecraft to the 766 factory to receive the communicator.
Half an hour later, the communication instrument arrived at the communications base of the Ministry of National Defense on the outskirts of Beijing, and Commander Wu, who arrived at the base 10 minutes early, personally spoke with the Yangtze River connected to the grid: "Yangtze River, I am Wu Han, who is in charge now?" ”
Ye Fei had already heard the call between Wang Qi and Wu Han, and with enough psychological preparation, he immediately replied: "Report to the commander, I am Ye Fei, the captain of the Yangtze River!" ”
"Ye Fei? Good! Commander Wu raised his eyebrows, "What about the casualties?" ”
Ye Fei hurriedly reported truthfully.
The crash is no better than other accidents, and it is not strange that the whole ship died, hearing that there were more than 2,000 people surviving, Wu Han was relieved, and asked about the reason for the crash, and listened to Ye Fei's complete introduction to the crash, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted.
Wu Han unceremoniously accused: "Ye Fei, although there is a reason for the incident, but the direct cause of the crash of the Yangtze River is your wrong command, and you can't get rid of the stubborn beast, so continue to take it around in circles, and what is the matter with a single ship to get into the outer bone army and take risks?" Play the piano around! ”
"Yes!" Ye Fei replied dryly, "It was my mistake, I will review it with you, and I accept any punishment." ”
"Not from me, but from those innocent warriors!" Wu Han scolded angrily, but then his tone changed, "But there are no immortals in the war, and if I were you, I wouldn't be able to think of a better way." Merit is merit or demerit, you don't have a burden, and you don't have pressure. ”
The meaning of the reply in the words could not be more obvious, at least it could represent the commander's attitude towards this matter, like a reassuring pill eating into Ye Fei's mouth.
No one is perfect, the commander is also a long man, it is impossible not to make a mistake at all, and if it is not for the unexpected impact of the stubborn beast, the Yangtze River has a great chance of escaping from the entanglement of the alien fleet and ascending to heaven.
However, how to characterize the incident is not a matter for Commander Wu to say alone, and such a big matter as the crash of the battleship must be collectively discussed by the high-level of the Sky Army Headquarters according to the procedure.
Leaving the question of responsibility for the time being, Wu Han asked worriedly: "What is your current situation, can you hold out until the reinforcements arrive?" ”
Ye Fei hurriedly introduced the current situation and the difficulties he faced, and Commander Wu listened to it, and suddenly asked in surprise: "You said that Giant Star is a habitable planet?" Or is there a planet with a complete ecosystem that evolved hominids? ”
"yes!" Ye Fei replied as a matter of course.
"Good boy, this time you have made a great contribution, not only you, everyone on the Yangtze River has a share!" Wu Han was overjoyed, his face was wrinkled and smiling, and his big mouth almost grinned to the root of his ears.
He couldn't help but be happy, several potentially habitable planets in a row did not have perfect conditions for immigration, the slightly stronger environment Gliese 581g was tidally locked, not to mention, the planet had to be cleaned of storm fungus, and only the morning and dusk circles had a suitable temperature.
The 581d was destroyed by lightspeed torpedoes and bone mounds, and it would take a lot of time and long-term rebuilding to recover.
Other potential immigrant stars were also excluded one by one, and at this moment when there was no trace of immigration light, Ye Fei, who was wandering around, suddenly discovered the giant star twenty-nine light years away, how could he not make Wu Han's eyes shine?
Why did the expeditionary force have to equip a migrant ship with no combat effectiveness?
Compared to the potential development potential of Giant, a distance of twenty-nine light-years is nothing? (To be continued......)
