409 arrangement
At the same time as the stern of the Yangtze River exploded, Ren Wei, who had not made progress in the power compartment, suddenly found that the magnetic energy engine produced a seemingly nonexistent suction, and was immediately overjoyed: "Bridge, power restored!" ”
"Thank goodness!" Jiang Xue hated that he couldn't kiss Ren Wei and his family, and immediately set out to control the battleship.
The descent of the battleship slowed down suddenly, and those who saw this scene thought it was a hallucination, but the corpse of the stubborn beast dragged on the stern of the ship was originally level with the battleship, and in the blink of an eye, it fell below the battleship.
Jiang Xue, who controlled the battleship, burst into tears with excitement, but in just a few seconds, the heavy stubborn beast dragged the battleship down again.
The magnetic energy engine in front of Ren Wei burst into flying sparks, and he immediately shouted: "Bridge, engine overload, repeat, engine overload!" ”
Jiang Xue desperately tried to control the height of the battleship, and was not able to answer at all, but the heavy stubborn beast was not at all able to be dragged by the engine of the Yangtze River, and the battleship was tailed and fell to the ground with a whirl.
All the people who saw all this were dumbfounded, the stubborn beast was dead, and it was so sad and indignant that they could pit the Yangtze River again.
The battleship dragged the stubborn beast, and the debris that had been following the battleship landed past the battleship and the stubborn beast, and after a few seconds, countless fragments smashed into the ground in patches of smoke and dust, and the scene was comparable to carpet fire.
Then, the huge stubborn beast slammed into the ground, and the dust flew in the explosion, hiding the Yangtze River that fell subsequently into the flying dust.
When the smoke and dust cleared, there was a multi-kilometer-high Roshan on the ground, and the 14-kilometer-long Yangtze River was facing down. Inserted upside down in the middle of Roshan, at first glance it looks like the Yangtze River nailed the stubborn beast to the ground.
The force of the impact leveled a hill in the ground.
If it weren't for the stubborn beast dragging down the battleship, the Yangtze River had every chance to land safely; If it weren't for the huge body of the stubborn beast that cushioned the impact of the battleship, the Yangtze River would have been torn apart, and even caused the ship's weapons to be destroyed.
Debris continued to fall from the sky, completely covering the location of the stubborn beast and the battleship, and several wandering lifeboats did not dare to approach at all, and the imminent running out of fuel forced them to fly far away from the battleship.
A lifeboat is not a combat vehicle, the purpose of its use is to send a person away from a battleship that is about to sink, and a lifeboat in war usually does not become a target for the enemy.
If the lifeboat is fast and fierce enough. is likely to be shot down by the enemy as a target.
Thus while the lifeboat can fly. However, the boat does not carry much fuel, and it is possible to fly for a long time by inertia in the universe, but when it enters the atmosphere, that little fuel will be quickly exhausted.
Not a design flaw. It's not a manufacturing problem. It's in the universe. Losing the battleship, it was difficult to move an inch. If friendly forces are near a wrecked ship, a lifeboat is enough to send the fighters into the friendly ship; If there is no friendly rescue...... It is impossible for a small aircraft to have the ability to fly faster than the speed of light for a long time, and no matter how fast it flies, it can fly over a large warship? It's just doing everything to obey the destiny of heaven.
The place where the battleship fell was located exactly between two mountains. The nearby mountains could not find a suitable landing site, and the wandering lifeboats had to fly away gradually.
A huge fragment of armor fell from the sky and smashed heavily on the side of the towering battleship, and the Yangtze River, which was pointing straight to the sky, finally fell unwillingly.
Jiang Xue was stunned to death by the impact of the impact, and the violent vibration of the battleship falling woke her up again.
The strong vibration comparable to a magnitude seven or eight earthquake made her clench the console in horror, until everything calmed down, Jiang Xue finally let go of her numb arm and lay down on the ground, her godless eyes stared at the top of her head through the faint light of the emergency light, her lying body suddenly shook like an electric shock, and then trembled, and her whole body twitched and laughed loudly, like crazy.
It wasn't until her breath was exhausted and her saliva choked that she coughed and coughed that she stopped laughing, followed by a whimpering cry of sadness.
The rest of her life after the catastrophe is full of joy and sorrow, she has countless reasons to laugh, and she also has the right to cry.
Soon, Jiang Xue, who had vented her emotions in her heart, wiped away her tears, and a resolute expression appeared on her face again.
The battleship was saved, although the current Yangtze River is a sieve full of holes, but after all, it is a powerful warship machine. On this strange planet, there is nowhere else to feel safe but battleships.
Even if it's just wreckage.
Ye Fei, who broke away from the drilling boat, immediately activated the thruster on the armor, and output it at full power, and the falling speed dropped sharply.
Ye Fei didn't have time to put on the parachute on his back, so he simply opened the parachute bag, the white parachute opened, and Ye Fei, who was holding the parachute bag tightly with one hand, hung under the parachute, like a mature oversized dandelion seed, slowly drifting down with the wind.
Directly below Ye Fei was a large lake, and the drill boat plummeted straight down with black smoke, plunging headlong into the shallow water of the lake and smashing out a fierce splash.
The flying mist extinguished the flames in the drill boat, and it was lucky that it didn't explode!
Ye Fei didn't know where he had drifted to, and faintly saw smoke and dust flying on the horizon in the distance, which was estimated to be the location where the battleship fell, and he immediately remembered the direction.
Looking at the direction where the smoke and dust flew, Ye Fei smiled bitterly.
I wanted to throw the stubborn beast to the outer bone man, but I didn't expect the final result to be that the battleship was sunk by the stubborn beast.
The parachute fluttered in the wind, leisurely floating away from the lake, Ye Fei, who was full of bitterness, temporarily put aside the emotions in his heart, aimed at a small stone mountain by the lake, let go of the parachute rope, fell directly from the air more than ten meters high, and smashed heavily on the stone mountain.
The taut parachute suddenly relaxed, fluttering and turning like a leisurely jellyfish, and the parachute rope hooked the canopy of a large tree fifty meters away, and the huge parachute covered the upper body of the tree tightly.
The heavy armor smashed the stone layer at the foothold, but Ye Fei was unscathed under the protection of the buffer device.
Ye Fei, who had successfully landed, was half of his joy in his heart, and a circle of invisible electromagnetic waves spread around the armor, and the nearby terrain was immediately displayed on the armored radar, within a hundred meters. No upright targets over two meters in height were found.
"Call the bridge, hear it please answer, call the bridge, hear it please answer, I'm number one, hear it please answer!" There was no answer on the radio, and Ye Fei was like falling into the abyss.
He didn't dare to imagine what the current battleship looked like, and he was also worried about Jiang Xue's safety, wondering if she was out of danger before the battleship crashed......
Either way, you have to go to the crash site and take a look. See people alive and see corpses when they die. Otherwise he could not face his conscience.
Thinking of his wife and children at home, Ye Fei doubled his courage, picked up the sniper rifle, and put the submachine gun in the most convenient position. The familiar feeling came back to me again. He strode to the drill boat in the shallow water of the lake: "I'm number one. Whoever is on this channel, report it to me immediately! ”
"Xia Yao, the leader of the communication maintenance team, reports!" Silence immediately broke over the radio.
Ye Fei paused: "How many people are there in you?" ”
"One lifeboat, forty-two. Weapons are being allocated, but there are not enough of them. ”
The lifeboats were not without weapons, but there were only small arms for defense and matching light armor, and each lifeboat was no more and no less, exactly thirty sets.
There are too many people crammed into the lifeboats, how can they be equipped with light armor and weapons according to the standard?
Fortunately, the battleship was in a combat state until it was damaged, and everyone was wearing pressure suits according to the regulations, so there was no need to worry about the atmospheric composition here for the time being.
"Hold on and wait for orders." Ye Fei couldn't even figure out where he was, and of course it was impossible to give constructive orders. Fortunately, the lifeboat ship was equipped with 30 people for a week's supply, so there would be no problems in a short time.
"Yes!" Xia Yao, who was at a loss, seemed to have found his backbone.
"Anything else?" Ye Fei asked again.
"Report, Jiang Xiaolong, the leader of the management and loss team, reported that there are twenty-four people around me who are distributing weapons."
"Stand by now!"
"Yes!"
……
Reports came one after another, and the total number of surviving fighters soon exceeded a thousand.
"Report, I'm Fu Hongye, and the lifeboat is located over the equator and has not entered the atmosphere. Except for you and Jiang Xue, all the bridge officers are with me...... Number one, is Jiang Xue with you? Fu Hongye hesitated, couldn't help the worry in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
It was too chaotic when he left the bridge, Fu Hongye didn't notice that Jiang Xue was not in the crowd at all, and when everyone flew away from the battleship with a full lifeboat, Fu Hongye, who was relieved, found that there was no shadow of Jiang Xue in the boat at all.
He was anxious and angry, but the lifeboat could not fly back to the battleship, and there was no response from the radio, and Fu Hongye suddenly became an ant on a hot pot.
The only hope he had left was for Jiang Xue and Ye Fei to break away from the battleship together.
Ye Fei was silent and didn't speak, Fu Hongye was anxious: "No. 1, why don't you speak?" ...... you talk?"
Ye Fei sighed faintly: "First mate, Jiang Xue volunteered to stay on the ship......"
"What?" Fu Hongye's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "The surname is Ye, how can you leave her alone, you, you, you ......"
His lips trembled violently, and his face was so red that he couldn't speak.
"Listen to me!" Ye Fei said sharply, "She wants to restore the control of the battleship!" A battleship is so big, if it hits the ground directly, the whole planet will be destroyed, don't you find that the force of the impact is very small? I believe she succeeded, and I believe she is still alive! Without Jiang Xue's efforts, this planet would have been destroyed! She saved all of our lives, including me! Fu Hongye, I don't care what's going on between you and Jiang Xue, but please figure out what time it is and figure out what you should do, instead of questioning your superiors! ”
"I ......" Fu Hongye was speechless.
After listening to Ye Fei's words, and then comparing the images of the crashed battleship, he was sure that what Ye Fei said was not a lie, but he controlled the battleship, and there was no necessary connection with whether Jiang Xue survived.
Without waiting for Fu Hongye's answer, Ye Fei immediately decided: "I announce that Fu Hongye is officially relieved of his position as first deputy until he returns to normal." Scissors, you are temporarily acting as the first officer. ”
"Yes!" Scissors' answer was crisp and sharp.
"You can't!" Fu Hongye was shocked.
"I can!" Ye Fei did not hesitate, "I need a calm deputy, not a fool who is carried away by feelings." Scissors, look at him. ”
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and now thousands of people are waiting for him to command him to get out of danger, and there is no time to soak mushrooms with Fu Hongye.
Although the Yangtze River that fell did not explode. But all the systems have been paralyzed, and Jiang Xue, who is located in the depths of the battleship, can't receive communication from the outside world at all, otherwise she would have been in contact with the outside world a long time ago.
"Who else hasn't reported?" Ye Fei, who left Fu Hongye behind, asked again.
A familiar voice sounded in Ye Fei's ears, dispelling his anger: "Black Bear reports, a large group is fully loaded, and it is currently located at an altitude of one hundred and eighty kilometers!" ”
Before the words fell, another familiar voice interjected: "Monkey report, the three teams are fully manned, and they are currently on the right side of the first team!" ”
"Saber reports, the second brigade is intact. Located on the left side of a large brigade. ”
"Great!" Ye Fei was overjoyed. "Why didn't the outer bone mongrels trouble you?"
"Boss, you're too unauthentic to want the exoskeleton mongrels to trouble us?" Black bears deliberately obfuscate the public.
"Less nonsense, don't occupy the channel. Answer the question. Ye Fei scolded.
"We don't know what's going on. Maybe the exoskeleton mongrels are treating us like battleship shards? Saber said uncertainly.
From the battleship being hit to crashing into the atmosphere. Along the way, there were all kinds of armor fragments and messes that were disassembled from the Yangtze River, and the landing craft was only more than 50 meters long, which was not as big as a fixed armor tenon. Some of the large pieces of debris from the impact of the stubborn beast were inconspicuous in the middle of which nine landing craft were mixed in.
Not only the commandos, but seven or eight more lifeboats reported to Ye Fei one after another, and they also did not enter the Giant Star, but floated in the outer space of the planet.
Except for the officers and soldiers who were killed on the spot when they collided, the vast majority of them successfully broke away from the battleship, with a total number of more than two thousand, and the losses were far less than Ye Fei expected.
The strength statistics came to an end, Ye Fei's mood was still heavy, but it was already a hundred times stronger than when he first landed, and he said in a deep voice: "Sabre, I'll give you an important task." ”
"Boss, you say." Saber doesn't know when he started to learn the habits of the old brothers of the black bear.
Ye Fei didn't pay attention to the change in the name of the saber at all, and ordered: "Scan this planet immediately, determine the meridian, divide the latitude and longitude, and establish the planetary coordinate system." "Of the three captains, Saber has the highest education, and it is not wrong to give him the task of using his brain.
Entering a strange planet, how to locate it is a big headache.
Without solving the problem of coordinate positioning, it will not be possible to determine the orientation of friendly forces, and further operations will not be carried out at all...... You can't just sit still!
Regardless of whether the Outer Bone People or the local natives are incomparable, the number is not comparable to Ye Fei's people. Exoskeletal hybrids are not easy to get along with, and the native natives may also be interested in bullying outsiders.
Although human weapons are strong, powerful firepower is built on perfect logistics and supply. Without the battleship, more than 2,000 people became rootless duckweed.
The lifeboats had limited weapons and ammunition, and there were no heavy weapons, making it impossible to support a long battle.
It is said that there are always more ways than difficulties, but it is easier said than done, Ye Fei thinks of the problems he is facing at the moment.
"Yes!" Saber immediately accepted the task, but soon asked, "Chief, where is the prime meridian appropriate?" ”
The prime meridian is the zero degree longitude, and unlike the parallel, the equator is the natural starting point of the parallel, while the meridian does not have a natural starting position.
The prime meridian of the Earth is located at the Greenwich Observatory in the United Kingdom. Before 1884, many countries had their own prime lines, which caused many inconveniences to navigation and surveying, so in 1884 the countries established a unified prime meridian at the Washington International Conference.
The British standard was adopted because the empire on which the sun never set was the only superpower in the world!
Although the sun never sets on the empire has long since fallen, the meridian standard has been preserved to this day.
Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this question, thought for a while and said, "Just use the peak of the highest peak of this planet as the starting point." "This is the first time that humanity has divided the latitude and longitude lines for an extraterrestrial habitable planet.
There is a way to plant flowers without blooming, and unintentionally plant willows into the shade.
Ye Fei never thought that his unintentional words would actually set a precedent for human beings to determine the prime meridian for strange planets, and after that, it became a common practice for human beings to divide the latitude and longitude of new planets!
Along with it, the wrecked Yangtze River and the saber responsible for dividing the latitude and longitude lines are forever written in the history of human interstellar exploration.
"Understood, let's start calculating." Saber immediately set about establishing a coordinate system, and in a few moments, the planetary scan map was covered with invisible coordinate lines.
Ye Fei was not idle, he waded to the side of the deformed hatch of the drilling boat and tore off the hatch fiercely.
The boat was already filled with water, and the bullet boxes that had been thrown into the boat before leaving the ship were broken, and the scattered magazines were clearly visible in the clear water.
Fortunately, it was not martyred!
Ye Fei pinched the deformed bullet box back to its original state, scooped up the magazine, and put it back into the box one by one, and then reluctantly buckled the lid of the box and returned to the shore with two boxes of bullets.
In this hellish place, it's not a bad thing to bring more bullets.
"Report, boss, the coordinates are complete!"
"Very good, immediately send the location of the crash of the battleship to all units," Ye Fei ordered on the public channel, "Everyone bring weapons and supplies, and all assemble to the coordinates of the battleship." In addition, the cities of the Outer Skeleton and the Native Giants are also marked, so that each unit can hide and avoid firefights as much as possible. Black bears, sabers, monkeys! ”
"Here!" The three of them spoke in unison.
"Pay attention to the movements of various units and be ready to parachute to support units in distress at any time."
"Yes!"
"Black bear, are there satellites on the landing craft?"
"Report, only one." Black Bear said.
"Send it out and see if you can get it to the synchronous orbit."
"Saber?"
"Nope."
"Monkeys?"
"Not either."
Ye Fei's heart sank: "Leave a landing craft to act as a satellite for the time being...... Scissors! ”
"Here!"
"Land, come down to the battleship, and give me some good news."
"Yes!" Scissors glanced at Fu Hongye, who was sitting in a daze, and replied in a low voice.
"Okay, everyone immediately executes the order, and if you need support, call the commando directly, don't think about saving bullets for Lao Tzu!"
"Yes!" The crowd responded. (To be continued......)
