Armor Frenzy

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was mid-January. After more than two months of intense construction, the Airport No. 2 track was finally put into use.

If the No. 1 orbit is a light platform, then the No. 2 orbit is a real heavy-duty platform. Without the use of rocket boosters, the 011-level 011 weighing more than 700 tons can be transported by the acceleration capability of the orbit itself. Into space, if a rocket booster is used, the maximum launch mass can reach 1,500 tons!

The No. 2 orbit sent all the dozens of 011-class ships accumulated at the Beiyuezhou base into space at the fastest speed, and the training of the crew also entered a new stage due to the lift-off of the 011-class.

The No. 2 orbit also greatly relieves the working pressure of the No. 1 orbit. More materials can be sent to space per unit time. The orbital factory can obtain an unprecedented amount of materials, and the construction speed of the new ship has been greatly improved.

At this time, the new space warships have been designated as 024 by the military. Although the warships have not yet come off the assembly line, four warships have been named in advance by the military. The first ship, Hongwan, has port number 241.

The other three are Luwan, Shuwan and Yuewan, known as the Four Sisters of Yuewan... I don't know who spread this word, anyway, Ye Han hates to compare battleships to sisters, why not What about the four Yuewan brothers?

However, the names of the four sisters had already been called, and Ye Han couldn't change it if he wanted to.

The names of these warships are also very interesting. Anyone who is familiar with the moon knows that in addition to the Moon Sea, there are also the Five Moon Lakes, the Five Moon Bays and the Three Moon Marshes on the surface of the moon.

In fact, no matter the sea, lake, bay or swamp, they are all plain areas on the moon. Those who are familiar with the moon see the names of these 024-class ships and know that they are named after the bays on the moon.

Among them, the Yuewan should be called the Meiyuewan, but the eyebrows are too heavy and not in harmony with the other warships, so it was finally named the Yuewan.

If you are not familiar with the reason, you may mistake Yuewan as the lead ship of the 024 class. In fact, Yuewan is the last of the four sisters.

Ye Han is looking forward to the name of the next warship with higher tonnage, stronger performance and more advanced technology.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. In mid-February, the last piece of armor was attached to the surface of the Hongwan under the handling of the robot. The welding gun on the slide rail immediately slid to the joint of the armor. The speed went back and forth several times, and the armor was tightly welded to the surface of the battleship.

The light ceased, and the "scaffold" end that wrapped the battleship slowly opened, and the orbital factory reported to the Beiyuezhou base that the 024-class first ship, Hongwan, was completed and rolled off the assembly line!

In just a few months, a space warship with a displacement of nearly 5,000 tons was built. This achievement is enough to make all military workers proud of it. The moment the news came out, the world was boiling.

Beiyuezhou immediately ordered the crew on standby to receive the battleship. A 011-class battleship full of crew took off from Beiyuezhou No. 2 Airport. A few minutes later, the 011-class, which had not yet been named, joined the newly launched Hongwan. The ship docked, and the crew of more than 40 people on board was transferred to the Hongwan.

The cheers were over, but the Hongwan could not join the active service immediately, but immediately began an intensive sea trial journey.

The launch of warships must go through sea trials, find problems and make adjustments to ensure that there are no problems before they can join active service. The space environment is a thousand times harsher than the ocean environment, and warships must undergo more severe sea trials before they are allowed to become active warships.

Although the expedition is imminent, the military is also reluctant to ignore the trials and cause losses that would not otherwise occur.

The Hongwan, which had just rolled off the assembly line, was immediately tested for the power system. With the maximum power output of the engine, the battleship slowly accelerated away from the orbital factory.

Immediately, all the equipment on the ship was turned on to test whether there was interference between the electronic equipment. Radar signals, communication signals and various clutter were mixed together, and Hongwan immediately became the strongest source of electromagnetic signals near the moon.

The trial voyage of the Hongwan lasted for ten days. It is said that this time is far from the requirements of the military. However, the military cannot wait for one or two years. For the expedition mission that is about to start, it can only end the trial voyage hastily.

Fortunately, the design team of the battleship is rich in experience, and optimized the hull structure to the greatest extent as early as the design stage. The ten-day sea trial was too short, and there must be some problems that have not been exposed, but they must be minor problems. Can't take care of that much.

After the Hongwan went off the assembly line, the raw materials sent to the orbital factory from Beiyuezhou did not decrease. All the raw materials were concentrated on the other three warships. In just a few days, the Luwan and the Shuwan went offline one after another, only ten Two days later, the Moon Bay was completed and launched.

So far, all four warships have been completed.

The three subsequent warships are still on trial voyages. The Hongwan has returned to the orbital factory and undergoes a comprehensive inspection by the engineers. After making sure that the hull structure of the Hongwan is not damaged, the Hongwan enters the material preparation stage. All personnel and materials are on board. The ship, weapons and equipment are all on board, and eight booster rockets that are no shorter than the battleship are fixed outside the hull~www.readwn.com~ The fully-armed Hongwan is fierce and murderous, only waiting for Beidu's order. , will set off on a long journey to Jupiter.

The years-long expedition mission is not a small test for anyone. Although there are many sailors trained on the ground and Beiyuezhou, not many have obtained the qualifications for boarding.

The requirements of the military are almost harsh. Not only are they required to be proficient in business, but they must also apply voluntarily. Only those who pass the business, psychological quality, physical state and political examination can be allowed to join the expeditionary fleet.

There are tens of thousands of people trained in the sky and underground, but the expedition fleet only needs more than 200 crew members, and the fierce competition can be imagined.

Of course, there are also many people who are not interested in the expedition fleet, but want to join the space fleet to drive 011.

In early March, the Yuewan completed its trial voyage, and the four warships gathered at the orbital factory again.

The military immediately announced that the Beiyuezhou Fleet of the Navy was officially established. The fleet has two units, the Task Force Fleet and the Guard Fleet. The former is the expedition fleet, and the latter is a near-air defense fleet composed of the 011 class.

At the same time, the military announced the expedition plan to the world, and the global public opinion was suddenly in an uproar, and countless people rushed to tell them. However, the public's attitude towards the expedition mission was not very enthusiastic.

Even the giant insects on the earth have not been cleaned up. What Jupiter is the expedition?

Humans have never even landed on Mars, so if they say that they fly to Jupiter, they will fly to Jupiter? This is to want to run without learning to walk, no problem!

When the giant insects didn't come out, there was no such thing. Now it's better. Even space battleships have been built. This is how much technology is concealed...

Ordinary people do not understand the significance of the expedition plan, but the high-level officials of various countries know it well.

But nothing can stop the fleet's expedition.
