145 Sedna
The mission was much longer than ever, but being in it was much easier than any one.
The technique of cryonics is definitely a weapon for aerospace.
Ye Fei woke up again, the battleship had arrived in the outer Neptune area, and the middle giant whale ship that had arrived earlier was flying towards a deeper airspace.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the largest expansion action since mankind entered the space age - although all countries generally agree on the practice of occupying space resources, but it is not profitable to do it early, and the country cannot use taxpayers' money to waste it.
But now it is different, the Outer Bone Man is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the human being, and if the Outer Bone Man is not destroyed, the human race will not want to be stable.
I don't know if it's because the cryonics technique is not so mature, maybe this time the freezing time is relatively long, and Ye Fei, who woke up, felt that he was so weak that he rested for a few days before returning to normal.
This situation is widespread, and it does not seem to be a new thing for a long time, so the commandos in the freeze were "woken up" a few days in advance.
The team members who have returned to normal soon learn the goal of the mission - Sedna.
Sedna, numbered asteroid 90377, has a perihelion of 76 AU, which is two and a half times the distance of Neptune from the Sun, while aphelion is estimated at 937 AU – an asteroid that takes 11,400 years to orbit the Sun.
The history of human civilization is full of tricks and tricks, and it is no more than 6,000 years, which means that in recorded human history, this lonely asteroid has only circled the sun for half a circle.
Compared to the cosmic time of millions of years, human beings are as small as an inconspicuous speck of sand on the beach.
Sedna arrived at perihelion in 2076 and is currently moving away from the Sun, where it is now at its closest to the Sun at 105 AU. If not, the aphelion point of 937 AU is equal to 1.4% of one light-year.
The Whale-class battleship flies at full speed, and can fly a distance of about one astronomical unit per day, and it takes more than five years to fly just one round trip.
The captains memorized Sedna's information like a stream, but to the commandos, it was simply a waste of paper that was not used for fart, and Ye Fei casually glanced at it a few times and threw it aside.
The commandos only need to worry about what happens after leaving the battleship, and their brains can take a vacation before leaving the battleship.
The mission briefing was simple: arrive at Sedna and clear the Exoskeletons.
According to reliable information, Sedna has been occupied by the Outer Skeletons, not only Sedna, but also the asteroids in the outer Neptune region have found traces of the Outer Skeletons, but at present, the Chinese side only needs to be responsible for cleaning up Sedna, and the other Outer Bone People strongholds will be left for later.
To accomplish this mission, the headquarters sent six whale-class warships. The five divisions of the assault team, excluding the battle-damaged personnel, have only about 4,700 people on the battlefield at present, and all the extra space is carrying supplies.
The 6th and 7th Divisions were still being formed, and this campaign could not be caught up.
Despite the heavy losses in the Battle of Mars, this nest clearing operation is still a tripartite coordination and cooperation between China, the United States and Russia, each responsible for a single goal, to weaken the strength of the Outer Bone as much as possible.
It's funny to say, human beings have always thought that now is the most developed and peaceful golden age in human history, who would have thought that the outer skeleton man would suddenly pop out, not only tearing away the prosperous appearance, but also quietly taking root in the outer space of the solar system.
This is the same as his own backyard, although it is a good land, but the owner has no energy to take care of it for a while, so he can only be temporarily abandoned, but the owner suddenly finds that his backyard has been occupied by a group of homeless people.
A few days later, the fleet arrived at Sedna.
The distance of 105 astronomical units is too far for mankind, and the sun is only the brightest of the stars here, and only very little sunlight can reach here, and it is cold and dark all year round, full of small celestial bodies covered with thick ice, and even huge ice cubes.
On the contrary, the Milky Way observed here is unusually clear.
Ye Fei believed that human beings in the past, present, and future would never be able to take such a barren airspace in their eyes, let alone take the initiative to conquer such a remote area.
The entire assault team was ready for battle, and the detachment of seven people, only the scissors and monkeys had improved laser cannons on their backs, and the others had a mini-missile box with a huge iron box on one shoulder, which looked ridiculous.
According to intelligence, Sedna is one of the known Outer Bone Man strongholds, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface, but the underground of this asteroid is likely to have been hollowed out by the Outer Bone Man.
Ye Fei simply scoffed when he saw this piece of information, it was impossible for human spies to penetrate the inside of the Outer Bone Man, and the accuracy of this information was really doubtful.
But an order is an order, no matter how ridiculous it is, it is not something that a small lieutenant like him can question.
With a diameter of just over a thousand kilometers and a gravitational force so small that it is impossible to carry out orbital parachuting, it is necessary to land in a landing craft.
When they entered the landing craft, everyone found an embarrassing situation, the entrance of the landing craft was too low! After carrying the missile compartment, the team members with the heaviest congenital natural disasters were also more than two meters four tall, so they had no choice but to temporarily take off the external weapon module and carry it in their hands before they could enter the landing craft.
The landing craft with a rated capacity of 24 people was filled with twelve crew members.
The landing craft had to travel back and forth between Sedna's surface and the battleship again and again, and ants moved to the surface of the asteroid.
Due to the thorough preparation, each detachment has already divided its own mission area in advance, and each detachment has its own territory, and if the alien skeleton is not found in the mission area, they will look for it casually, and once the friendly and neighboring troops find the enemy's base, everyone will rush to it.
When the landing craft flew to the surface of Sedna, I don't know how many people in the road were secretly praying, hoping not to encounter the anti-aircraft fire that the Outer Skeleton had never seen, but the unexpected landing was very smooth, and when his feet stepped on Sedna's dirty ice surface, Ye Fei still had a feeling like he was in a dream.
The surface of this asteroid is very classic, there is no trace of artificial carving, no need to ask, the base of the Outer Bone Man must be buried in the ground, it is really difficult for the intelligence department, how did you get the information?
Well, when I first met the Outer Skeletons, I also got into their bases, which caused a large-scale hunt, and maybe the Outer Skeletons didn't have the concept of vigilance.
