145 Sedna
This mission was much longer than ever, but being in it was much easier than ever.
The technology of human body freezing is definitely a powerful tool for aerospace.
Ye Fei woke up again. The warship had arrived in the Neptune area outside. The medium giant whale ship that had arrived earlier was flying towards the deeper airspace.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the largest expansion action since humans entered the aerospace era. Although countries generally agree with the practice of occupying cosmic resources, they cannot get up early without profit, and countries cannot keep wasting taxpayers' money. This expansion action that only gains reputation and has no interests requires a budget that is simply astronomical. If it were the past, it would never be approved.
But nowadays, the exoskeleton man is like the sword of Damocles hanging above humans. If the exoskeleton man is destroyed, the humans will not be able to be safe.
I don’t know if the human body freezing technology is not so mature. Perhaps it was because the freezing time this time was quite long. Ye Fei felt that he was extremely weak and took a few days to get back to normal.
This situation is common and seems to be nothing new, so I "wake up" the frozen commando a few days in advance.
The players who returned to normal quickly learned about the goal of this mission - Sedna.
Sedna, numbered as asteroid 90377, has a perihelion of 76 astronomical units, which is two and a half times the distance between Neptune and the sun, while the arihelion is estimated to be 937 astronomical units - it takes 11,400 years for this asteroid to orbit the sun.
The history of human civilization is full of tantrums, and it is no more than six thousand years. In other words, in the recorded history of human beings, this lonely asteroid has only circled the sun for half a circle.
Compared with the cosmic time that takes millions of years, humans are as small as an inconspicuous grain of sand on the beach.
Sedna arrived at the perihelion in 2076 and is currently away from the sun. Its distance from the sun is now 105 astronomical units, which is at the closest period to the sun. If not, the arihelion of 937 astronomical units is equal to 1.4% of a light-year.
The giant whale-class warship can fly at full speed, and it will take more than five years to fly one round trip.
The captains memorized Sedna's information, but for the commandos, they were useless waste paper. Ye Fei took a few casual glances and threw them aside.
The commando only needs to worry about what happened after leaving the warship. Before leaving the warship, your brain can be on vacation.
The content of the mission briefing is very simple: Arrive at Sedna and clear out the outer bones.
According to reliable information, Sedna has occupied the exoskeletons. Not only Sedna, but also the asteroids whose names can be named in the Neptune region have been found. However, at present, China only needs to be responsible for cleaning up Sedna, and the other exoskeleton strongholds will be left in the future.
In order to complete this mission, the headquarters sent six giant whale-class warships and five commandos, eliminating the damage to the war. Currently, there are only about 4,700 people on the battlefield, and all the extra space is feeding supplies.
The Sixth and Seventh Divisions are still under formation, and this battle cannot be caught up.
Despite heavy losses in the Battle of Mars, this cleanup operation is still a coordinated cooperation between China, the United States and Russia, each responsible for one goal and weaken the strength of the exoskeleton as much as possible.
It's funny to say that humans have always thought that now is the most developed and peaceful golden age in human history. Who would have thought that the person who suddenly jumped out of the outer bones not only pulled the prosperous appearance apart, but also quietly took root in the outer space of the solar system.
Although this is a good place for his backyard, the owner did not have the energy to take care of it for a while and could only temporarily abandon it. However, the owner suddenly found that his backyard had been occupied by a group of homeless people at some point.
A few days later, the fleet arrived in Sedna.
The distance of 105 astronomical units is too far for humans. Looking at the sun here is just the brightest among the stars. Only a very small amount of sunlight can reach here. It has been in the cold and dark for many years. There are 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 believes that humans will never take such a desolate airspace seriously at any time in the past, present and future, and will not actively conquer such remote areas. This action is not the last, at least unprecedented.
All the commando personnel were ready for combat. The seven-person team, only scissors and monkeys, had improved laser cannons on their backs, and the others had a water-like mini missile box, with a huge iron box on one shoulder, which looked extremely funny.
According to information, Sedna is one of the known exoskeleton strongholds. Although there is nothing unusual on the surface, the underground of this asteroid may have been hollowed out by the exoskeleton.
Ye Fei sneered when he saw this piece of intelligence. It was impossible for human spies to penetrate into the external skeleton. The accuracy of these intelligences is really doubtful.
But orders are orders. No matter how ridiculous it is, it is not something that a small lieutenant like him can question.
Sedna has a diameter of only more than one thousand kilometers, and its gravity is so small that it cannot be used for orbital airborne at all. It is necessary to land on a landing craft.
When everyone entered the landing craft, they realized that it was an embarrassing situation. The entrance to the landing craft was too low! After carrying the missile bay, the team member with the most natural disasters was more than two meters and four meters tall. In desperation, he had to take off the plug-in weapon module for the time being and carry it in his hand before entering the landing craft.
The landing craft with a rated crew of 24 people was filled with twelve team members.
The landing craft had to travel back and forth between the surface of Sedna and the warship again and again, and the ants moved to send the team members to the surface of the asteroid.
Due to the full preparation, each team had divided their respective task areas in advance. Each team had its own territory. If no external bones were found in the task area, they would just look for it. Once the friendly troops found the enemy's base, everyone rushed forward.
When the landing ship flew towards Sedna's surface, I don't know how many people were praying secretly, hoping not to encounter air defense firepower that the exoskeleton had never appeared before. However, the unexpected landing was very smooth. When he stepped on Sedna's dirty ice surface, Ye Fei still felt like he was in a dream.
The surface of this asteroid is very classic, without any traces of artificial carving. Needless to ask, the base of the exoskeleton must be buried underground. It is really difficult for the Intelligence Department to obtain the information?
