"Three, two, one, ignition!"

"Ignition-" He Lu's finger was firmly on the screen, and the command was transmitted to the stern of the ship as a signal, and the thruster, which had been silent for more than twenty days, restarted, and a flash of light suddenly flashed, and then disappeared.

"No. 3 ignition success, No. 6 ignition success!" He Lu yelled excitedly, "Captain, both have succeeded!" ”

"What's the power?"

"12% for No. 3 and 14% for No. 6." He Lu said, "Judging from the current data, as long as it does not exceed 20 percent, it is no problem. ”

"Okay, Zuo Manrudder, target Earth!" Ye Han was full of spirits, and the depression that had been deposited for more than 20 days was swept away.

"Full rudder, target Earth—" The others were equally jubilant, eager to fly back to Beiyue Continent immediately.

Ye Han said again: "Inform me, except for the management team and the Marine Corps, other departments can sleep, and when they wake up, we will be home." ”

While relaying the order, He Lu asked curiously: "Captain, do you still want to repair the remaining thrusters?" ”

Ye Han nodded: "Two is too little, no matter what, you have to repair two more." ”

Don't look at the restoration of two thrusters, but with the technical strength of the Thundermountain, it can only be repaired rather than repaired, and the total power of the two thrusters combined is less than half of a good thruster.

This power is only 5% of what it used to be, and to put it more bluntly, it used to take ten days to change direction, but now it takes a full 200 days!

This gap is too big, no matter how big Ye Han's heart is, he can't bear such a strong contrast.

So the engine has to be repaired, and even if one more thruster is added, it can add a lot of power.

One thruster is 5%, and the eight add up to 40%, and together they are almost half a thruster, how can they not be repaired?

However, the rest of the work does not need so many people, it is enough to leave only the damage management team and the marines, and the rest of the people are idle not only to waste their lives, but also to consume supplies and supplies, and it is the most economical and affordable plan to arrange hibernation for everyone to hurry up.

After the order was given, the eligible fighters happily returned to their respective cabins and lay down after a full meal, and when they woke up again, the Leishan should dock in Beiyuezhou.

On the other side, Ye Han also reported the situation of the Leishan to Nanzhou and Beiyuezhou in time, and a few days later, the Nanzhou disengaged from the enemy and also embarked on the return journey.

The Nanzhou suffered some minor injuries during the entanglement with the enemy, but the propulsion system was not affected, and it was able to return to Beiyuezhou in more than two months at most.

As for the Thunder Mountain, it will be miserable, at the current rate, it will take more than nine months to return to Earth.

Some people may ask, even if the Leishan propulsion system is severely damaged, why is the Nanzhou propulsion system fine, but it takes more than two months to return to Earth.

This question is not complicated, because the range is not only related to the propulsion capacity of the battleship, but also directly related to the speed, direction and position of the battleship.

It is also very important to consider the position of the Earth, if the Earth is on the other side of the Sun, add at least one AU on the way back, and if the Earth is at the farthest point, then add two AU.

That's a full two-month flight!

At the moment, the Earth is not on the other side of the sun, but its specific location is not very suitable, and it is already very good to increase the range by only one-third, if the Earth is on the other side of the sun, can we wait for half a year to go back?

The answer, of course, is absolutely impossible!

And Ye Han didn't want to wait for those nine months, so he had to continue to repair the thrusters.

Under the personal leadership of Ye Han, the remaining personnel on the ship spent more than half a month to successively replenish the other three thrusters, reducing the return time from nine months to more than 100 days.

Ye Han is quite ambitious, and he wants to make up for the rest, in view of the serious situation of the remaining three, this time it is also more than half a month, but he only barely makes up one, and it is still the best one of the three thrusters.

As a result, the reaction cavity exploded directly after the start-up, and almost affected the thruster that was repaired next to him, so Ye Han completely cut off the idea of continuing to repair.

At this point, all the work that could be completed by the management and loss team was over, and Ye Han simply arranged the order of duty, leaving the two officers on duty, and the others all went into hibernation.

This day is January 27, 2032, the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and in a few days, it will be the day when the Leishan will leave Beiyuezhou for half a year.

Ye Han, who was sinking into sleep, didn't know that because of the scarcity of his own warships, Beiyuezhou was already preparing to send a transport ship to pick up the Leishan, but he didn't expect the Leishan to recover some of its power and shrink the nine-month voyage to three months.

Beiyuezhou can't wait nine months, but it's okay to wait for three months, even if the rescue ship is dispatched, the return time of the Leishan will take two and a half months.

So the bigwigs canceled the response plan and waited patiently for the return of the Thunder Mountain.

In late April, the broken Leishan successfully returned to Beiyuezhou, and after Ye Han woke up, he saw Luo Qi's serious face at first sight.

He stretched his waist and looked at the time on the wall: "Docked?" ”

Luo Qi shook his head: "Not yet, I just received an order from Beiyuezhou, let me wake everyone up in advance." ”

Ye Han couldn't help but be stunned, and his brain, which was sluggish due to hibernation, worked for a moment before he woke up: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Qi said: "I don't know, I received a direct order from the command, asking you to contact the commander as soon as you wake up...... Commander Huo. ”

"Huh?" Ye Han was even more confused, and sighed in his heart, could it be that something happened?

Thinking of this, Ye Han immediately got up, and his stiff limbs crackled: "Go, take me to the bridge!" ”

A few minutes later, tenaciously appeared on the main screen, and Ye Han immediately saluted: "Chief, are you looking for me?" ”

Huo Qiang nodded: "Just woke up, right?" How does it feel? ”

Ye Han grinned: "It's good, it's just that I've slept for a long time, and I'm very tired." ”

Huo Qiang said: "Give you two days, can you ease up?" ”

"No problem, one day is enough." Ye Han said.

"It's not just you, it's everyone on board."

Ye Han was stunned and didn't understand what Huo Qiang meant, but he nodded without hesitation: "Two days is enough...... Chief, call us in advance, is there any mission? ”

Huo Qiang smiled: "There is a task entrusted to you." ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Ye Han immediately shouted the slogan to express his determination.

Huo Qiang continued to laugh, but there seemed to be something more unclear in his smile: "Don't be so nervous, it's not a combat mission, it's a good thing." ”

Ye Han blinked in surprise: "Chief, I don't understand ......"

"Huh!" Huo Qiang smiled even more happily, "You and the soldiers are ready to participate in the welcome ceremony organized by the Joint Command the day after tomorrow." ”

"Huh?"
