The sudden appearance of the voice made everyone at a loss. Snet's name shocked them even more, and even caused them to be in a collective trance.
It wasn't until the other party's voice echoed in their ears three times that they finally realized something.
They were convinced that what they heard was a human voice. For several years, except for the dialogue between them, such a familiar and friendly voice had never been heard in the vast universe.
It is like the sudden sweet spring rain and dew in the desert, or the warm hut encountered by chance in the snowstorm, which nourishes and warms their already scarred hearts.
It is the hope of life and the goal of hard pursuit.
Everything is like a dream.
The two shuttles slowly docked next to the two small aircraft. The moment the cabins of the two were opened, the dream became a reality.
They saw the pilots in the two shuttles - two friendly humans, wearing the familiar military uniforms of the voyage fleet, looking at them with smiling eyes.
They boarded two shuttles respectively, and the shuttles quickly returned to their respective space vehicles.
Against the blazing background of Wolf 359, two electric lights drew two wonderful arcs and rushed towards the thick and billowing atmosphere of Wolf 359B...
From a long distance, the gas giant Wolf 359B is like a violent windy planet. A huge cyclone like a city rolls and rages on the surface of the star. The dense and strong lightning rises and falls like an electric whip in the hands of a devil.
The ubiquitous lightning lights up every corner of the planet, so that the entire star is like a shining ball of light, becoming exquisite and beautiful with the blessing of the violent cyclone.
But this kind of beauty is only for a brief moment, and it cannot hide its violent side at all.
But when the two space vehicles entered the planet's atmosphere, the scene was completely opposite. The rolling cyclones seemed to disappear, and the dense lightning became sparse and gentle, in sharp contrast to the previous violence and fury at a distance.
In fact, the raging cyclones and violent lightning have not disappeared. They are located on the surface of the star. At this time, the two space vehicles are located above the atmosphere of Wolf 359B, with only turbulent airflow and sparse lightning.
Of course, there are occasional storms, but they are not severe.
As the two space vehicles gradually penetrated deeper into the atmosphere, a magnificent scene gradually became clear from blur, and three mountain-like outlines appeared in front of Liu Hanyang and others.
They stand among the misty clouds, like a complex of palaces in a fairyland, and like three heavily guarded space fortresses.
Solemn and majestic.
Soon, as the two space vehicles gradually approached, their outlines became completely clear. They were neither a palace complex nor a space fortress, but actually three huge interstellar battleships.
The three starships stood in a row in the turbulent clouds and mist, like three huge steel behemoths, majestic and domineering.
However, if you look closely, you can still find differences. The hulls of the three star warships are all damaged, and some even have large holes with a diameter of tens of meters. One of the star ships was even more seriously damaged. It lost Nearly half of the ship's bow.
Several huge steel supports are built on the hulls of the three ships. Thousands of maintenance robots with different functions are scattered on the steel supports. Some are even huge maintenance equipment. They require the concerted efforts of many crew members to operate them. operation.
Next to the three ship hulls, there are dozens of large lifting equipment, which are responsible for hoisting materials and equipment in the unloading area to the designated maintenance area.
In addition, around the three ship hulls, hundreds of space transport aircraft shuttled frequently, some transporting different types of ores from afar, and some transporting prefabricated products required for the starships from the prefabrication yard.
All personnel and machinery are working diligently and methodically, and the three ships are comparable to three busy large construction sites.
Looking at the busy maintenance site, Liu Hanyang and others had mixed feelings in their hearts. They felt lucky for the surviving crew members and starships, and at the same time felt sorry for the crew members who lost their lives in the battle.
Cherish.
They couldn't believe that the three starships in front of them were all of the voyage fleet that they had been pursuing for several years. They would rather believe that what they saw was only a part of the starships.
But the reality is that they only saw three dilapidated ships.
If these were all the starships in the expedition fleet, then the previous battle would have been particularly brutal.
Soon, the cruel reality shattered their fantasies.
They saw the hull numbers of three starships, namely the flagship "Taimiao" class starship "Taimiao" of the expedition fleet, the same class battleship "Huomiao", and finally the "Gravity" class starship "Xili" "Number.
Obviously, these three dilapidated starships are the entire possessions of the Voyage Fleet. Otherwise, it is impossible for them not to have even a guarding starship around them, not even an armed escort spacecraft.
There is only one possibility: the voyage fleet was attacked, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Five minutes later, the two space vehicles landed on the landing platform of the "Taimiao". The moment they stepped down the gangway, the four of them felt a sense of intimacy.
The feeling is so strong, even though Wolf 359 is 7.7 light-years away, it really feels like coming home.
From a distance, Liu Hanyang saw a short man wearing a windbreaker and a top hat slowly walking toward them. He couldn't see the man's face clearly in the mottled light, but intuitively, he felt that this man It's so familiar, but the more I think about it, the blurrier it becomes, as if it's stuck.
"You're well, Dr. Liu!" The visitor approached him and stretched out his broad palm.
Suddenly, he thought of who he was.
Although Liu Hanyang could not see the person's face clearly due to the strong light, he knew who it was as soon as the other person's voice came out.
"Long time no see, Mr. Miyazawa!" Liu Hanyang said, reaching out his hand and striding forward.
The two held hands together for a long time, staring at each other, and all their words seemed to be condensed in their eyes.
All without saying anything.
Liu Hanyang, Miyazawa and his team met, fought, and joined the Crisis Planning Agency to join the mission to fight against the Taibo aliens. Especially since they joined the "Mission Exploration" project, they have established a deep friendship with each other. In a flash, they have been 30 years old. More than a year.
If calculated based on their real age, the two of them have already entered the ranks of the elderly, especially Miyazawa and his party, who are probably already in their seventies. However, the long period of dormancy during interstellar voyages makes their physiological age younger than their biological age. a lot of.
Miyazawa and his party look to be in their 50s at most. Liu Hanyang has half of the genes of a Taibo planet before, coupled with his long period of dormancy, his biological age is about 40 years old, which is more than 20 years younger than his biological age. .
Zhou Yun is no exception. Coupled with the advancement of biotechnology and the fact that women pay more attention to skin care and other factors, she is even younger than Liu Hanyang in terms of biological age.
Not to mention Li Sujia, her appearance has not changed at all since she was forced to transform into an alloy body and alloy organs from the head down.
Gongze glanced at Li Sujia, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang one by one, and the three of them looked at each other with smiles.
Among everyone, except for Xiao Hang, who was slightly unfamiliar, Miyazawa and his party, as the commander-in-chief of the four armed escort spaceship squadrons of the expedition fleet, were naturally familiar with their subordinate Zhou Yun, the captain of the fourth armed escort spaceship squadron.
Li Sujia is no stranger to Li Sujia. They had fought against each other as early as in Pu Linsi City in Country G. It can be said that they didn't know each other without fighting.
Time flies, more than 30 years have passed, and we are already old acquaintances.
"This is Xiao Hang. Like us, he also worked with the expedition fleet. He was the commander of Barnard's star special landing force and biochemical force." Liu Hanyang introduced.
Xiao Hang stood up straight, performed a standard military salute, and then shook hands with Miyazawa.
"Commander Snart has been waiting for you for a long time." Miyazawa said, turned around and led everyone towards an elevator.
There will be direct access to the command center of the "Taimiao".
