In the darkness, a huge dirty snowball moved slowly.

Far away in the outer Neptune region, the faint sunlight is not enough to illuminate the stars in the void, and these comet nuclei, commonly known as dirty snowballs, are hidden in the darkness, like a hidden reef under the calm sea.

Suddenly, a small celestial body with a surface as ice crystals slowly flew towards this ordinary dirty snowball, and on the electric light inside the ice crystals, all the people were concentrated in the bridge, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

Qi Xiaodong's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, his eyes stared at the dirty snowball outside the ship without blinking, and he issued an order softly: "Three on the left rudder, two for slowing down." "The battleship, hidden under the ice crystals, silently spewed out a stream of air, slightly changing the direction and speed of the voyage.

Jiang Yufei muttered in a low voice: "Can this work?" ”

The Dianguang flew over Triton and accidentally drilled into the "ice magma" that had just erupted, not wanting to be mistaken, the battleship's smooth and smooth surface was wrapped in layers of solidified ice magma, and finally turned into an ice asteroid with an irregular surface.

Originally, Ye Fei planned to stay away from the pirate's nest, but after getting the news, he immediately changed his plan, and the Dianguang simply appeared as a small celestial body and flew directly to the vicinity of the pirate's nest.

It just so happens that the pirate's nest is a dirty snowball with a relatively large mass and size, although there are not many satellites of this size, but the chance of capturing a small celestial body as a satellite is very low, but it is not an incomprehensible thing.

However, after all, the Dianguang is a warship built of steel, and its quality is far superior to that of ice crystal celestial bodies, Qi Xiaodong has to use auxiliary forces to locate it, otherwise the weak gravitational pull of the dirty snowball really can't catch the Dianguang.

Ye Fei didn't reply: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, if it's exposed...... Just storm. "At this point, Ye Fei has no way back, and the only way out is to save the two comrades-in-arms and return triumphantly, otherwise he will face severe punishment from the military court.

The Dianguang cut into the orbit of the Dirty Snowball just right, and it was not until it flew around the Dirty Snowball seven or eight times and became a small satellite in the heart of the Dirty Snowball that the atmosphere on the bridge relaxed slightly.

"That's it? The black bear was shocked.

It's so fucking god, saying that it can cut into the orbit, the captain of the Heavenly Army, it's really not in vain.

"It's not close!" Qi Xiaodong said, "The warship is massive, and the orbiting speed is slower than that of a real icy asteroid." I hope the pirates don't see it. ”

If the speed of the battleship is the same as that of a real asteroid, it is directly beyond the ability of the dirty snowball to catch.

"What now?" Jiang Yufei was eager to try.

In the first battle in the mining area, the entire second group staged an extremely failed scene, although it was not the fault of the second group itself, but compared with the first group, the judgment was suddenly made, Jiang Yufei held a lot of strength in his bones - who said that the second group is not as good as the first group?

Everyone's eyes invariably turned to Ye Fei, including Qi Xiaodong.

Ye Fei was so furious that everyone looked at him, and he laughed: "It depends on what I do!" ”

"Who do you look at if you don't look at it?" Qi Xiaodong was the highest-ranking person among all the people present, but the battleship had to cooperate with the actions of the marines. The specific planner and executor of this trip was Ye Fei, a high-ranking soldier.

Ye Fei scratched the back of his head: "My plan is that I will quietly go in alone to see if there is a chance, you will stay here and wait for me, ready to support at any time." ”

"What!" The black bear was the first to quit, "How can this work......"

"There's nothing that can't be done, let's run so far, it's not to play with officers and soldiers to catch robbers, it's to save people, I have a small target alone, and the possibility of being found is also small, don't worry, if there is a problem, I will call for support as soon as possible." Ye Fei patted his chest confidently, "I'll bring a laser cannon, and then I run into Thor, so that it can't eat and walk around!" ”

Last time, he was caught off guard by Thor, and Ye Fei was also unconvinced. Now the weapons and equipment carried by the Qinghe are all on the Dianguang, including two sets of shoulder-fired laser cannons, and the strong output power can definitely burn through Thor's tortoise shell in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, the supporting high-performance battery can only support three shots at full power, and even so, it is more than twice as large as the armored battery.

"The surname Ye, don't think about yourself with any good things, everyone comes with you to save people, not to see you working alone!" Jiang Yufei's face was dark, and he had a big fight that didn't fit in with the fight.

Ye Fei secretly had a headache, he knew that he didn't have Jiang Yufei as a mourning star, Ye Fei didn't have the bitter mood of persuasion, and said bluntly: "I am the person in charge of the group, and the rank and position of all marines are the highest, so it's decided." "Now is not the time to rebel in the nest, change the time and place, he doesn't mind having a good theory with Jiang Yufei, but now, he directly set the action plan by ordering.

The Dianguang orbited around the dirty snowball where the pirate base was located, and the shipboard system had already scanned the situation on the dirty snowball to determine the entrance to the pirate's lair, and everyone called it the front of the dirty snowball.

When the battleship flew around to the back of the dirty snowball, an inconspicuous black spot detached from the surface of the ice-like battleship and slowly floated towards the dirty snowball.

Because he suspected that the pirates were supported by the Americans, and he didn't know if the pirates had electronic detection equipment, there was radio silence between the battleship and Ye Fei, and from the moment he broke away from the battleship, Ye Fei could only rely on himself.

The electric light slowly turned into a small point of light, submerged into the horizon of the dirty snowball, the surface of the dirty snowball loomed in the dark, Ye Fei stared at the laser rangefinder, and the dirty snowball was close enough, he turned on the low-light night vision device.

Everything in the eyes instantly turned bright green, and the surface of the distorted comet nucleus was clear.

He was not fast, attracted by the gravitational pull of the dirty snowball, and slowly floated towards the surface of the comet's nucleus, eventually falling gently.

Ye Fei felt that the surface of the comet's core was a little like a collapsed glacier, and there were broken ice crystals everywhere.

At temperatures of more than -200 degrees Celsius, all known gases condense into ice, and the composition of these ice crystals is very suspicious. The thought of himself standing on top of a sea of solidified dry ice or solid nitrogen always gave him a strange sense of unreality.

The ground is clean, i.e. there are no broken ice crystals or soft snow-like structures.

Turning off the low-light night vision device, the surface of the comet gave him the illusion of being in a polar night, and the shadows were too much to see, and I don't know if it was because of the darkness or because of the mixed dust, all the crystals were gray, completely subverting his impression of ice.

Ye Fei really wanted to turn on the tactical lamp and take a look at it to see what color these crystals that were usually rare to see were, but in order not to expose himself, he could only give up this tempting idea.

Casually broke off an ice branch of unknown composition, although the auxiliary power was turned on, it also took Ye Fei a lot of effort, and it was hard beyond his imagination.

He secretly slurred, this is not a good phenomenon.

Cold and brittle hard are always linked, the colder the environment, the higher the hardness of the ice, and the yield strength of conventional metal or other materials will increase sharply, when the ambient temperature is lower than the brittle transition temperature, the metal material will become extremely brittle and hard, and it can be thrown into eight petals.

From rockets to spaceships, compared with the history of human civilization of more than 5,000 years, the speed at which human beings have stepped into space is beyond imagination, no matter what kind of spacecraft, they have to face the harsh test of the extreme environment of the universe, whether it is a low temperature of hundreds of degrees or an ultra-low temperature of more than minus 200 degrees, any omission will cause irreversible consequences.

In a sense, the development of human aerospace technology is highly dependent on the development of material science, and the requirements for materials in military aerospace are much higher than those of civilian spacecraft.

Without the protection of armor in this environment, death is only a matter of time.

Throwing away the ice branch casually, Ye Fei tried to jump, the gravitational force was far smaller than expected, if it weren't for the fact that the weight of the laser cannon behind him was almost the same as the armor, it was hard to say whether he would fly back into space because of too much force.

The large laser cannon makes the center of gravity a little unbalanced, but it's not a big problem.

Re-opening the low-light night vision device and staring at the strange world realm crisscrossed by ice edges, a thought suddenly popped up in Ye Fei's mind: I am alone again.

Then he laughed dumbly at his thoughts, what does it matter if a person is alone? The Marine Corps is a place full of individual heroism.

Although individual courage is still indispensable, it is far from being able to influence the entire war situation by relying on individual force as in the era of cold weapons.

However, the Marine Corps is different from the Marines, and the powerful firepower and protection of the combat armor give the soldiers a combat power far beyond that of any ancient famous general, and this is precisely the breeding ground for individual heroism.

Regardless of the fact that there are only 12 people in one group, in terms of establishment, there are only about 20 people in the two combat groups of the Marine Corps, but in fact the establishment is comparable to that of a company, and the combat effectiveness cannot be compared at all.

Single-handedly turning the tide of the war is the record of the Marine Corps.

Shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind, Ye Fei confirmed the location, found the direction of the pirate base, flicked it lightly, and flew out dozens of meters as if he had learned the light skills of the world in the novel, and when he fell, he used the mobile armor to adjust the direction slightly, and fell in a flat place as much as possible, but there was nowhere to land, so he simply landed on the ice branch, and immediately flew out more than ten meters away.

The electro-optical rose on the other side of the comet's core, and the optical system captured Ye Fei's non-stop leaping figure, and the laser communication device immediately established contact.

Radios tend to expose targets, but laser communications do not.

"Artilleryman, how's it going?" The black bear carried a six-barreled machine gun almost as tall as him in one hand, and the backpack behind him was full of 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and the others were also fully armed, waiting for Ye Fei to call for support.

"Everything works!" Ye Fei replied, "I'm already close to the pirate base. ”

"Questions?" The black bear asked again, and everyone unanimously pricked up their ears, knowing that this kind of pediatric infiltration could not stump Ye Fei, but they still couldn't help but have a trace of anticipation.

"Nope!" Ye Fei ruthlessly pierced everyone's hope.

The veterinarian pouted: "It's hard to come back, and you can't even see the comet nucleus with your own eyes......"

"Pull you down, you're here for a tour?" The black bear shook his fist, "The artillerymen are busy, don't occupy the channel." ”

"It's okay, I've arrived, I'm ready to infiltrate the pirate base, I'm about to disconnect, wait for my news." After that, there was no movement on the radio.

The volume of the comet's core was not large, and in ten minutes, Ye Fei flew out dozens of kilometers and approached the entrance of the pirate's den.

The pirate base is undoubtedly laid out under the comet's core, and the exit is located at the foot of a rocky mountain tens of meters high, carved directly into a flat rock.

The exit from the pirate's den is not extravagant enough to use a large twist gate, but only two airtight doors that can fit two large trucks on the other.

Ye Fei visually inspected it, the size of the airtight door was equivalent to the hatch of a ro-ro cargo ship, and the rocks outside the airtight door seemed to have been artificially leveled, and it was not difficult to take off and land a large spaceship.

It is estimated that the corsair usually lands on the platform, and the cargo door is docked with the airtight door.

Ye Fei sighed in his heart, it is not easy to be a pirate, this ghost place is far from the military base, it is simply the gap between a grass nest and a five-star hotel!

Pirates looking for an asteroid to settle down in is equivalent to a pirate in the Age of Discovery finding an island to hide, but finding an island to make a cave for a few years is not a big deal. What could be better than the life of the predecessors of the Age of Discovery?

In these days, being a pirate is really a fucking skill, not only do you have to understand aerospace, but you also have to understand planetology when you find asteroids to settle down; To dig a nest, you have to understand geology; Digging a hole is a miner's skill; Maybe you have to have a bricklayer craft, lest the quality of the base is not up to par and there is a leak, and no one and the cement paste the wall.

Ye Feixin said that if Lao Tzu didn't want to save people, he would have fucking directly penetrated the outer wall of this broken nest.

The Electro Light had already left his head, the communication had been cut off, and he stayed quietly in place until the Electro Light flew above his head again and re-established contact: "The Electro Light, I need the battleship to scan the rock mountain ahead!" ”

"Electro Opt received, wait a minute." Qi Xiaodong ordered a precise scan of the stone mountain, and teased, "Artilleryman, you kid really looks like a thief now." ”

After the scanning was completed, the data was directly transmitted to Ye Fei's armor.

Ye Fei hehe thief smiled: "What's wrong with being a thief, I'll be a robber again in a while!" ”

The scanned map of the vicinity of the stone mountain was received, and as expected, in addition to the large airtight door on the front, there were three other inconspicuous secret doors.

It is said that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and pirates are more damn fine than rabbits, and there are actually four holes.

The scan did not find the alarm device, and it is estimated that the pirates thought it was safe to hide here and could not be found in the door, so it didn't take that effort, and it was also possible that the pirates lacked food and clothing, and did not have the leisure to waste materials.

Ye Fei quietly approached the airtight door, pulled down the palm-sized directional mine on his waist and inserted it fiercely into the ground, directly sealing the airtight door, and then shifted the target with a sneering smile, and used explosives and grenades to seal three of the four exits, and then flew to the last safety secret door with satisfaction.

Grandma's, Ye Fei scolded hatefully, Lao Tzu let you die one litter at a time!

"The eight characters blocked people's doors before they skimmed, this kid is ruthless enough!" Qi Xiaodong secretly sighed, Ye Fei, this kid, has the ability, courage and courage, it is unbelievable that he is just nineteen years old!

But then again, only such an impulsive and enthusiastic young man would do the stupid thing of hijacking a battleship regardless of it, and replace it with a person who is older than an accident, and the only thing he will consider is the gain or loss, how can he make such a decision regardless of the beginning and the end?

None of the people answered Qi Xiaodong's words,

Captain Qi Xiaodong's rank can only be regarded as small or small in the entire army, and now the whole ship is full of more than a dozen people, and the officers only have two or three kittens, and the rest are all big-headed soldiers, which one dares to talk nonsense?

The Marine Corps and the fleet belong to different countries, it is said that everyone does not need to look at Qi Xiaodong's face, but no one is bigger than the captain on the battleship, that is, Ye Fei, who has a cheeky face, dares to smile a few words - our army emphasizes that the whole army is up and down, and everyone is equal politically, but the army is a place where class is spoken, and the slogan is loud and loud, if anyone takes it seriously, it is called brain-dead and mentally retarded.

Ye Fei went around to a secret door at the very end, and without seeing it, he pasted a piece of remote-controlled plastic high explosives on the airtight door. Then he pulled a disc the size of a bottle cap from the neck of his armor and pressed it tightly against the door, holding his breath and listening.

The thing attached to the door is called a listener, which is a small toy similar to a stethoscope, which continuously sends the captured sound into Ye Fei's ears, and listens patiently for two minutes, without any abnormal sound, Ye Fei retracts the listener, pulls out his saber and stabs into the seam of the airtight door.

T744 In the First World War, the way the cook Yu Jie opened the door was too strange, and after returning to the Saturn base, Ye Fei took the time to check the information and understand the structure of the airtight door.

I don't know what to do if I don't check it, and I'm shocked when I check it.

Due to the joint exclusion of Western countries in the early space period, China's independent development of aerospace technology and technology is its own system, and the supporting technical standards are also significantly different.

After Western countries took the lead in selling spacecraft to private capital, China was not willing to lag behind and began to march into the civilian spacecraft market, because of its rigorous style and deep military background, the first step ahead of the Chinese side in aerospace technology is also one step ahead, so it quickly seized most of the civil spacecraft market, and the relevant industry standards were adopted in this situation.

The industry manufacturing standard of the airtight door is determined by the Chinese side at this time, this airtight door is simple and practical and low-cost, even if the power is off, as long as there is air pressure on one side of the door, the airtight door will be automatically closed under the use of air pressure.

However, the fatal disadvantage of this kind of airtight door is that it can be opened as soon as it is prying, but airtight doors are used in outer space, whose artillery can still run to outer space to pry the door? If you are hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, you have to be detected by radar, what is there to worry about?

In the following 100 years, although Western countries have spared no effort to slander and exclude, but the low-cost airtight door has always occupied most of the entire market, whether it is a space station or a spaceship, you can see the shadow of this airtight door everywhere, pirates have limited access to equipment, using this popular equipment, even if the pirates are accidentally exposed, the master behind them can be pushed clean afterwards, so as not to get into trouble for themselves.

Ye Fei secretly slandered the airtight door on Mao's own warship, with the same function, but there was no problem with opening it with one prying?
