April 26, 2032, Moon.

In the sky above Beiyuezhou, more than a dozen warships lined up in a line to welcome them, including the Nanzhou and Beihai warships belonging to the Chinese side, as well as the Charles, Farragut and other warships belonging to the international fleet.

In the distance, the Thunder Mountain flew straight to the north pole of the moon, and when it passed the first battleship, fourteen battleships fired a salute at the same time.

No sound could be heard in space, only the light of the muzzles could be seen, but the salvo of a dozen battleships still gave everyone a great shock.

At this time, the Leishan should have returned the salute by firing a salute, but all the naval guns on the Leishan were finished, and there was not even one cannon left, so Ye Han could only take all the bridge officers to salute in return.

This scene was transmitted back to Beiyuezhou through the radio waves, and then transmitted back to Earth from Beiyuezhou, and broadcast to the whole world simultaneously.

When Ye Han heard that Beiyuezhou was going to broadcast the entire ceremony to the world synchronously, the whole person collapsed, what was the situation?

However, no one told him the details, and he could only complete the ceremony step by step according to Bei Yuezhou's orders.

Ye Han rejected some flashy ceremonies in his heart, but military orders are like mountains, and orders issued by superiors must be meticulously implemented.

After the salute was fired, the Leishan also slowly drove into the dock of the orbital factory, and the mechanical arms stretched out from all directions, firmly fixing the Leishan in the dock.

After the ceremony, Ye Han breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and said to everyone: "Let's go, don't let the chiefs wait." ”

At the same time, the broadcast camera has moved to the multipurpose hall of the space station, which is usually a restaurant, and when necessary, it is a conference room or whatever space is needed.

As the commander of the space fleet, Huo Qiang is standing on the stage to deliver an enthusiastic speech, starting from the achievements of the Leishan, extending to the glorious history of the Beiyuezhou fleet, and then extending to the struggle of the combined fleet, and finally focusing on the outstanding contributions made by the military of various countries in the previous battles against insect swarms and aliens, as well as the great sacrifices made by the military and civilians of various countries......

In short, all aspects are taken care of, all achievements are boasted of, and all sacrifices are remembered.

By the time Huo Qiang's departure was over, Ye Han and the representatives of the officers and soldiers on the Leishan had already rushed to the conference hall.

Next, the representatives of the United Fleet spoke, the representatives of the officers and men spoke, and finally it was Ye Han's turn to make a concluding speech.

Well, the speeches were all prepared in advance, I don't know who wrote the knife on behalf of him, anyway, Ye Han only needs to read it verbatim and word for word.

Don't think it's easy to read it once, in order to read this manuscript well, Beiyuezhou arranged a teacher to guide her, and Ye Han practiced for two whole days before he barely reached the standard.

Ye Han complained in private, in his feeling, reading the manuscript was much more difficult than fighting.

The reading is not finished, and the next step is the Q&A session, where journalists from all over the world have the opportunity to ask questions.

However, the military did not plan to hold a press conference, but to show the Leishan in an interactive form.

At this time, the military's photography crew had already boarded the Leishan, taking pictures from all angles and distances, seeing the Leishan from the inside to the outside, and showing the tragedy of the Leishan at close range in front of the world.

The camera first gives a panoramic view, at which point a pre-arranged reporter stands up and asks why the Leishan has become the way it looks.

Ye Han was silent for a moment, and began to explain the reason why the battleship was so embarrassed, focusing on the potential danger of the special environment of space, and finally summing up the necessity of such modifications.

Then the camera switches to show a set of comparison photos, which are precious shots taken before the restoration of the Thundermountain, such as the sunken bow, the broken armor, and the twisted cabin.

Seeing the broken battleship in the photo, everyone knew that the repaired Leishan was much stronger than the original, and everyone's hearts seemed to be much heavier than indescribable.

In the end, the damaged propeller is displayed, as well as the repaired propeller, the two sets of photos are compared together, and Ye Han explains the difference.

Interspersed with questions from reporters, Ye Han answered them according to the pre-arranged rhetoric.

Just as the exhibition was about to end, a foreign reporter stood up and asked in fluent Chinese: "Captain Ye, you and your warship have achieved such brilliant results, and the Leishan has already become like this, I would like to ask you, what will be the next arrangement for the Leishan?" Whether it will be scrapped and disassembled, or will it continue to serve after repair, thank you. ”

Ye Han said: "First of all, correct a problem, it is not me and my warship, the Leishan is not my personal, and such achievements are also the result of the joint efforts of all officers and soldiers." Secondly, emotionally, of course, I want to repair the Thunder Mountain, but whether it is dismantled or repaired must be decided by the fleet, not my own will, thank you. ”

This is an unscheduled question, but the content is simple and easy to answer.

At this time, Huo Qiang took the initiative to say: "I have a few words to say about this issue, first of all, for such a meritorious battleship as Leishan, our opinion is to repair it as much as possible, and if there is really no repair value, try to maintain the status quo, and in the future, it can be used as a witness to this war." ”

"Is there any value in repairing the Thunder Mountain?"

Huo Qiang smiled: "Then we have to ask our engineers, but the Leishan has just docked in port, and it still needs a little time to assess the situation of the battleship." But I make a promise here, even if the Leishan can't be repaired, we will build a new warship and pass on the glorious name of the Leishan and the spirit of the Leishan from generation to generation! ”

Ye Han's eyes are full of circles, when will the Leishan still have spirit?

The reporter asked: "If a new warship is built, will it still be a destroyer?" ”

"It's a hard question to answer." Huo Qiang said calmly, "From my personal point of view, there is no need to stick to the form, the new ship can be a destroyer, a frigate or an aerospace carrier, after all, the ship is dead, and the talent is alive." ”

Another reporter stood up: "Commander Huo, I want to ask a question that the general public is very concerned about, that is, whether the new ship will inherit the record of the Leishan. ”

Huo Qiang pursed his lips and smiled: "This question is very acute, how to say it, we haven't discussed this aspect yet, emotionally speaking, I hope that the new ship can inherit as much as possible from the old ship, and the record is also one of the aspects." But according to my personal understanding, there is no precedent for inheriting the battle record, so we still hope that the Thunder Mountain can be repaired, and I personally hope that it can return to the battlefield and regain its glory......"
