Three weeks later, Li Sujia received a quantum encrypted message from the voyage fleet. The message was sent by Miyazawa and his party. He telegraphed the three of them that the voyage fleet had safely arrived at its intended destination and asked them to conduct time and space transmission immediately.
Twenty minutes later, the advance formation maneuvered to the depths of the black hole-like gate of time and space. As a mecha pressed the transmission button, a dazzling huge ball of light similar to ball lightning flashed, and the advance formation disappeared.
Almost instantly, the advance formation appeared in the space-time gate in the solar system. At this time, the eyes of Li Sujia, Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun in the armed escort spacecraft were dancing with the sun's rays.
The earth is just ahead, and they are about to return to the home they have dreamed of for countless days and nights.
Happy smiles and eager expressions filled the entire flight control cabin. The moment the task force flew out of the gate of time and space, a huge fleet of Tiber aliens lay in front of them.
This fleet consists of 6 large interstellar battleships, with several formations of small interstellar ships and aircraft deployed in the middle. They are distributed in an arc shape, like a giant steel gate that confines the task formation inside.
In comparison, the task force looked like a flock of moths looking up at huge, towering metal mountains.
Just a few minutes after Li Sujia and others were surrounded by the Taibo aliens, the flagship "Taimiao" of the voyage fleet was transmitted to Proxima Centauri through the gate of time and space.
As soon as the "Taimiao" maneuvered to the outside of the gate of time and space, it was immediately surrounded by a fleet of Tiber aliens that suddenly appeared. They arrived suddenly like ghosts.
Does anyone know where it comes from?
The Tiberians ordered Snate to leave the cabin and surrender immediately. The "Taimiao" never responded. It was not until the Tiberians pointed all the starship weapons at the "Taimiao" that the ship responded.
The "Taimiao" has established a video link with one of the starships of the Taibo Stars.
To the surprise of the Taibo people, there was no figure of Snet in the command module of the "Taimiao", only Miyazawa and his party.
There are not many crew members in the ship, only more than 200 operators who perform flight control and interstellar navigation tasks.
Fleet Commander Snart and many crew members were transferred to the same-class battleship "Huomiao" and the "Gravity"-class starship "Heli".
All this is part of the entire return plan of Miyazawa and his party. Like the advance formation led by Li Sujia and three others, the "Taimiao" also serves as the forerunner and pathfinder for the other two interstellar battleships.
The Tabor people, who were bent on catching "big fish", let go of the advance formation and wanted to capture the last three starships of the voyage fleet in one fell swoop. However, Miyazawa and his party expected that they would deploy in this way, and accordingly they took advantage of their tactics and tricks.
In order to confuse and contain the Tiberians, Miyazawa and his party divided the voyage fleet into three. He led the "Taimiao" to the space-time gate located at Rutan 726-6 instead of Snet, and then transmitted it to Proxima Centauri.
Snate led the "Huomiao" into deep space and returned to the solar system across the 7.7 light-year long starry sky. However, the "Healy" interstellar spacecraft was stranded in the Wolf 359 star system and would appear to provide support when necessary. The return of the "Huomiao".
Although the "Taimiao" where Miyazawa and his party were located was heavily besieged by the Tiberian fleet, he was not without a plan. In his plan, he forced the Tiberians to give up their force by blowing up the gate of time and space and killing them together. Encirclement and suppression, so that the golden cicada can escape its shell.
But this time, Miyazawa miscalculated.
When he ordered all firepower to be aimed at the gate of time and space, the Tiberians were indifferent. In desperation, he had no choice but to act according to the established plan. But surprisingly, even though the firepower output of the "Huomiao" was fierce and intensive, it was poured into The gate of time and space was like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing any damage to it.
Miyazawa knew he was doomed, so he and more than 200 crew members dusted off their clothes, neatly and solemnly faced the direction of the earth, looking and longing for their beautiful homeland...
One minute later, intensive firepower poured into the "Taimiao". As countless fireballs illuminated the starry sky, the "Taimiao" exploded violently. When the last trace of fire jumped on the wreckage of the ship, countless pieces The fragments fell into the dark starry sky.
Suddenly, five space vehicles rushed towards the door of time and space. The Taibo aliens who reacted immediately launched an attack on them. Although they suffered heavy casualties, one space vehicle still fell into the door of time and space, dragging thick smoke.
The person piloting this spacecraft is Xiao Hang.
At the same time, a combat robot pressed the start button of the gate of time and space, and with a dazzling light, the gate of time and space opened violently. The gate of time and space transmitted the injured spacecraft piloted by Xiao Hang to Proxima Centauri.
At the same moment when the "Taimiao" fell, the advance formation of Li Sujia, Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun also faced almost the same fate.
What's even worse is that, facing this huge Tiberian star fleet, their strength is so weak that it can be compared to a contest between ants and dinosaurs, or even worse.
No chance of winning.
However, Li Sujia did not intend to surrender, she had a solution.
As early as when she was waiting in Proxima Centauri, she had received a secret message from Miyazawa and his party. Miyazawa hinted that if she fell into the siege of the Tiberians, she would use force to destroy the gate of time and space if necessary. Threatening each other until he retreats.
She plans to do the same.
Therefore, facing the threat of force from the Tiberians, the three of them did not panic, but instead enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the solar system.
It was only then that the three of them determined the exact location of their solar system—the Lagrange point between Neptune and Uranus, which is also the location of the gate to space and time.
Zhou Yun felt very strange. Compared with the locations of the space-time gates at Lutan 726-6 and Proxima Centauri, which were close to the star, the space-time gate here was actually far away from the sun.
However, there is one obvious difference from the previous two time and space gates: 12 energy pillars are connected below the time and space gate here, and they are divided into two rows to connect to the time and space gate.
Zhou Yun told Li Sujia her doubts. The careful Li Sujia suddenly realized that she had mistaken the target and immediately ordered all firepower to be directed at the 12 energy pillars.
Obviously, these 12 energy columns accumulate a large amount of energy, and they provide energy support for the startup and operation of the Space-Time Gate.
The solar system is a newly occupied galaxy by the Tiberians. They seem to have regarded the earth as their second home. They replaced the sun with 12 energy pillars to provide energy for the gate of time and space. This is to avoid consuming the sun's energy and to protect the earth's ecosystem. .
Li Sujia made a condition: allow the three interstellar battleships of the advance formation and the expedition fleet to return to human territory on Earth, otherwise they would fire on the 12 energy pillars and perish together with the gate of time and space.
The Taibo people accepted the conditions proposed by Li Sujia. They had already weighed the fact that a few human starships were insignificant compared to the Gate of Time and Space, and it was not cost-effective no matter what.
If they really fight to the death and force Li Sujia and others to make a desperate move, once those 12 energy pillars are detonated, the power of the explosion will affect the Taibo aliens' bases and fleets in the far reaches of the solar system.
The gain outweighs the loss.
After the Taibo aliens evacuated, Li Sujia divided the task force into two parts. She and two space vehicles and four mechas including mecha xm1367 and mecha xm672 continued to guard the gate of time and space. Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun piloted the armed escort spacecraft and led the remaining space vehicles and mechas back to human territory on Earth.
Five hours later, a convoy formation departing from the Mars territory will be waiting for the two of them near the orbit of Mars.
Of course, this order was given to them by Li Sujia in the name of the voyage fleet, and they had no choice but to obey.
Especially Liu Hanyang, he had to obey even though he was 100 times unwilling.
In fact, while the task force was stationed at Proxima Centauri for more than two years, Miyazawa and his party had been giving orders to Li Sujia or indirectly hinting to her in the name of the voyage fleet. This was no longer a secret.
However, in order to successfully complete the return flight plan, Miyazawa's hints were very vague. If he wanted to fully understand, he had to connect all the clues and make flexible adjustments based on the development of the situation. Li Sujia did all this very well.
Letting her threaten to blow up the gate of time and space and force the Tiberians to accept the conditions for the safe return of the voyage fleet was one of the hints. Unfortunately, Miyazawa miscalculated and cost himself his life.
The Gate of Time and Space was not as fragile and vulnerable to attack as he thought.
Fortunately, the energy supply method of the space-time gate located in the solar system is completely different from the previous two. The fragile energy pillar allowed Li Sujia to successfully achieve her goal, which was also a kind of comfort for the deceased Gong Ze.
Of course, there were times when Li Sujia misread Miyazawa's hints, which were about the splitting of the voyage fleet into three, Miyazawa's plan to take command of the "Taimiao" in place of Snart, and the "Huomiao" that actually carried Snart. "The fact that the ship chose to sail back to Earth.
However, these do not affect the implementation of the plan.
Li Sujia still doesn’t know that 15 years later, only the Huomiao will return to Earth.
She must also stay here for a full 15 years until Snate leads the "Huomiao" to return safely.
