Chapter 61: The Space Dock
Coming out of the Combined Fleet Headquarters and seeing that there was no one around, Bai Jie finally couldn't help but reach out and twist Tom's ear, and asked sharply, "Dead fat!" I didn't expect you to have studied military strategic layout? Say! How much else are you hiding from me? ”
Tom was grinning at Bai Jie, jumping to his feet and shouting in pain!
After a long time, Bai Jie, who felt a little relieved of his hatred, let go of his hand.
The fat man covered his pair of attractive ears, and said with a sad face: "Haven't you checked my file a long time ago, buddy hasn't even graduated from middle school, what kind of layout do you study?" ”
Bai Jie said angrily: "Then who taught you what you talked about at the military joint meeting just now?" ”
Tom cried out that he had been wronged, and said, "I eat and sleep with you every day, and you see it!" Where is someone going to teach me? ”
"Then you came up with all the words in the meeting just now?" Bai Jie was a little puzzled.
"Yes! Anyone with a little normal brain can think of it, unless it's a bit of a problem with intelligence. The fat man muttered.
"Smack!" Bai Jie has now learned Annie's unique stunt, and she gave Tom's head a violent shudder, and the fat man's head immediately swollen with a big bag!
Dare to turn around and scold the old lady for having a problem with her intelligence, if this kind of person doesn't beat him a few times, can he still let people sleep peacefully tonight?
The poor fat man clutched his head and kept rubbing his bag.
He couldn't figure it out, Bai Jie, who had never beaten people, what was wrong with him today? Why did you suddenly become so irritable?
——————————————
The next morning, Bai Jie, Tom and others took a shuttle, carrying twenty-two mechs from the intelligence agency's operation team, to a military space station located in the synchronous orbit of Imand Star.
When Tom and his party stepped off the shuttle, they couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the grand scene in front of them!
The military space station, called Queen Vena, has one of the largest military maintenance docks in the constellation Ophiuchus.
The dock is built at the very top of the support system of the largest interstellar city on the planet Imand - Sky City, with two huge steel platforms as the base, and two horseshoe-shaped giant dock chambers are built on it, which can accommodate four large warships to dock for maintenance at the same time.
These two docks are more than ten kilometers long, because three sides are protruding and suspended in space, and only one side of the dock is connected to the space station, so superships such as space carriers can also be moored in for repair, maintenance and comprehensive replenishment.
Tom's shuttle landed on a steel deck near the bow of the dock, and everyone could see the dock not far away, where several ships of the Combined Fleet of the Setan Federation were moored.
The warships, each towed by huge steel cables, stood silently in the dock. At this time, the eight giant automatic maintenance steel frames were densely crawled with countless maintenance workers wearing spacesuits, as well as some engineering mecha specially responsible for maintenance and transportation.
People were nervously busy, inspecting repairs and refueling the warships of the United Fleet. Various transport trucks and cargo mechs are shuttling back and forth on the steel platform, methodically sending huge ship parts or containers full of supplies to those giant maintenance steel frames, and then the staff and mechs floating around the hull to the designated location of the ship.
Tom and Anne, who had never seen such a spectacular scene before, were stunned by this shocking scene in front of them!
After stepping off the shuttle, the two hillbillies stood there stupidly, looking at the two huge spaceyards with four eyes for a long time, without moving a single step.
It wasn't until Bai Jieqi came over to urge him in person that the two of them slowly followed the team step by step and walked into the transparent dome hall of the space station.
Senior Colonel Kirney, the head of the Queen Vena military space station, had already stood at the door of the hall to greet Bai Jie and her action team.
After some polite words, Senior Colonel Kilney pointed to a warship in the dock and smiled at Bai Jie: "Lieutenant Colonel Bai, do you see it?" According to Rear Admiral Douglas's orders, that landing ship named the Flaming Red Rose is specially prepared for you! ”
Everyone looked up, and a small landing ship was floating quietly in the dock in the distance, with a large red rose printed on the bow.
The landing ship is about 700 meters long and belongs to small ships. Now that the landing ship has completed its maintenance and comprehensive replenishment, the huge hatch at the stern of the ship has been opened, and it is only waiting for the personnel and materials to be loaded before it will set sail back into space.
Bai Jie immediately got in touch with the trailer convoy carrying the mechs and ordered them to immediately start the work of loading the twenty-two mechs on the ship.
Then the entire Intelligence Agency Operations Team had lunch in the station's cafeteria, hospitalized by Colonel Kilney.
At one o'clock local time on the star Imand Ophiuchus, Bai Jie led the action team to bid farewell to Senior Colonel Kilney, boarded the landing ship Flaming Red Rose, and flew at the second speed in the universe to the mixed fleet of the Federation's fourth space aircraft carrier, which was 20,000 kilometers away.
Two and a half hours later, the Sytan Federation's 4th Space Carrier Mixed Fleet stationed in Ophiuchus, under the orders of Rear Admiral Douglas, set sail from the synchronous orbit of Imand and began its march towards Scorpio, more than 100 light-years away.
In the huge roar, the main jets of dozens of warships opened at the same time, and the huge ion jets were like light blue tails, marking a brilliant multicolored streamer in the starry sky.
The spaceflight, which will pass through eight warp jumps in space, is expected to approach the edge of the constellation Scorpio in 53 hours and arrive near Basel in about 64 hours.
On the starboard side of the fleet, two scorching twin stars can be clearly seen, desperately pouring out their light and heat.
These two blue giants now look a little reddish because the interstellar dust absorbs too much blue light, causing redness. They are halfway through the initial stages of star evolution, expanding into extremely bright supergiants before ending their lives as spectacular supernovae in millions of years.
In the face of the life course of these two stars, human civilization from its origin to the present is only a blink of an eye. And the heroes, heroes and bears who have tried to dominate the country from generation to generation are like illusory bubbles, born in an instant, died in an instant, and everything will eventually come down to dust.
At this time, the light of the blue giant star was reflected on the battleship that was rapidly departing at the third speed of the universe, reflecting the brilliant colors of the blur. But as the distance slowly increased, the light of the blue giant star became fainter and darker, and finally disappeared into the vast cosmic darkness.
After using these two blue giants as a gravitational acceleration jump, Rear Admiral Douglas's carrier formation finally reached the fourth speed in the universe and began to fly towards the edge of Ophiuchus.
