One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Seven Reasonable Use 1
Ye Han finally got the order he wanted, but Beiyuezhou did not cancel the order to defend Ceres. Instead, it listed the cooperation with the transport ship as the first task, and the protection of Ceres was reduced from priority to second.
But this was enough, and the loss of Ceres could not be blamed on Leishan.
The alien warship still had two to three days of sailing, and Ye Han cooperated with the transport ship to explore the asteroids everywhere as if nothing had happened.
He was still secretly hoping that the alien warship would turn around, but two days later, the course of the five enemy ships remained unchanged.
Since Leishan and the transport ship had not left Ceres, Ye Han could not judge whether the enemy's target was Ceres or the transport ship, but he felt that Ceres was more likely.
Ye Han discussed with Lieutenant Colonel Sloppy. While the enemy ship was still a little distance away, the transport ship flew to the second base in advance, and Leishan continued to stay on Ceres, ready to see the aliens' movements before making a decision.
In order to avoid the plan being out of sync, the transport ship deliberately suppressed its speed when it left, so that even if all the enemy ships turned to the transport ship, the Leishan could catch up in time.
Shortly after the transport ship left, the five enemy ships split into two, two of which changed direction to chase the transport ship, and the other three did not change direction.
This time Ye Han was in trouble. The transport ship was equipped with very few weapons, and it was a problem to fight against an alien warship. Facing two enemy ships, he could only run away.
What about Ceres? The Leishan was also no match for the three enemy ships.
The aliens wanted to hold back the Leishan while eating up the transport ship with a heavy hand. Their teeth were really good.
Faced with an unfavorable situation, Ye Han decisively led the ship to leave Ceres.
But he did not chase the transport ship as agreed, but chose an enemy ship flying towards Ceres. It seemed to be full of power, but in fact it was reserved to meet it!
Ye Han's idea was very simple. Whatever the aliens wanted to do, he wanted to destroy it. Moreover, he had to seize the initiative on the battlefield and not let the aliens lead him by the nose.
This move was indeed beyond the aliens' expectations. Fortunately, the alien warship was still far away from Ceres, and another alien warship immediately approached, preparing to form a double-ship formation to fight against the Leishan.
If the third warship flying to Ceres was not in the wrong direction, it would probably move closer to the friendly ship.
Ye Han was still worried that the three enemy ships would gather together, and only two of them were just what he wanted. Although it was a bit troublesome for the Leishan to deal with two enemy ships, the chances of winning were not small. If there was another enemy ship, it would only have to run away.
Perhaps the Leishan's unstoppable action reminded the aliens. Not long after, the third enemy ship began to turn around, gave up the idea of flying to Ceres, and turned to join the friendly forces.
According to the current speed and direction, the three enemy ships can definitely complete the assembly before the Leishan arrives.
While the aliens were trying every means to deal with the Leishan, they did not forget the transport ship in the other direction. The two alien spaceships chasing the transport ship accelerated forward, apparently intending to take the transport ship first and then turn around to outflank the Leishan.
Gao Kai could not sit still now. Worried about the safety of the transport ship, he simply took the Nanzhou away from Base No. 2 and rushed to Ceres at full speed.
Base No. 2 is located in front of Base No. 1, with a straight-line distance of 0.3 astronomical units, which is almost 46 million kilometers, only a little less than the distance from Mercury to the sun.
The speed of the Nanzhou after the refit was greatly improved, but it still took about ten days to fly over this distance.
The voyage between the enemy ship and the transport ship was only one day. Even if the Nanzhou ran its legs off, it would not be possible to arrive in time.
However, the development of the situation did not allow Gao Kai to consider it more. The speed of the transport ship was actually not slow at all. If it dropped all the weights and flew at full speed, the alien warship might not be able to catch up.
However, the distance from Beiyuezhou to the asteroid belt is as long as 1.5 astronomical units. The long distance greatly increases the transportation cost. Every gram of materials transported to the asteroid belt is a huge amount of money. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no gram of materials can be abandoned.
If it really doesn't work, just abandon the engineering machinery and other things first, and then retrieve them after the aliens are driven away in the future.
Thinking of this, Gao Kai first contacted the transport ship, and after giving a comprehensive instruction, he contacted the Leishan and said straight to the point: "Ye Han, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. I think you must give up Ceres and deal with this wave of alien attacks first. The old man Taizu said it well, if you save the land and lose the people, you lose the land, and if you save the people and lose the land, you save the land. If Ceres is lost, you can find a way to get it back, but if the battleship is destroyed, Ceres will fall into the hands of aliens completely!"
At the end, Gao Kai was almost heartbroken and wanted to get out of the screen directly.
Ye Han was stunned: "No, I'm confused by what you're saying."
"Don't play dumb with me. I'm asking you, what are you doing now? Why don't you follow the plan?"
"Hey, what did I think you said." Ye Han suddenly realized, "I just think that the plan from above is too conservative. It's too passive to retreat directly to Base No. 2."
Gao Kai frowned: "There are reasons for being passive!"
"Come on, let's stop talking about this meaningless nonsense. Damn it."
"Then damn it, you move closer to the transport ship immediately, and move closer to me with the transport ship." Gao Kai said.
"It's okay for me to move closer to you, but not now." Ye Han said.
"When is that? Do you still want to fight with the aliens?"
Ye Han smiled slightly: "To fight or not to fight depends on whether the enemy gives me a chance!"
Gao Kai's frown deepened: "Ye Han, we have known each other for a day or two. I want to remind you, don't take risks. There are three enemy ships at your place. Even if the Nanzhou is against each other, it may not be accurate. Win, don’t start to swell just because the Leishan killed two enemy ships at once!”
"No, what do you mean?" Ye Han was unhappy, "Why am I so bloated? To tell you the truth, I didn't intend to fight with the enemy from the beginning. I just didn't want to follow the aliens' ideas and planned to stir up trouble first. , causing some chaos for them.”
"What kind of addition?" Gao Kai asked.
Ye Han knew that he would not tell the truth, and Gao Kai was definitely worried. He said bluntly: "Do you think I have mobilized all the enemy ships on the opposite side? The other two ships have also begun to speed up. Now the Leishan cannot move. I I plan to hold on for a while, and when the time comes, I will immediately move closer to the transport ship and capture at least one enemy ship, and try to capture two.”
Gao Kai was stunned: "You plan to use the transport ship as bait?"
"The enemy originally came for the transport ship. I didn't need to plan it at all. I just made reasonable use of it... What do you think of my plan?"
