A week later.

The door to human spirituality, the anchor space communication base.
Cross-domain communication in the spiritual world is a spiritual technology involving multiple fields. After reverse engineering the communicator brought back by Li Liang, mankind finally has the first independently developed cross-domain communication system based on gravitational fields and quantum entanglement. Communication equipment, signals can cross the Dark Spirit Sea to achieve long-distance communication with human delegations.
However, the communicators that can be seen everywhere in the spiritual world are only the size of earphones, and the device Xi'an hastily developed... is as bulky as a hill, buzzing and emitting high temperatures.
In front of the console in the main control room of the base, Alex, a trainee communications officer of the Galaxy Navigation Group of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force, who had just been promoted to third-level sergeant major, took off his earphones, picked up the cup at hand, shook it, and shook his head helplessly.
As soon as he stood up, a middle-aged man casually wearing a uniform walked into the main control room cursing.
"The Deep Space Defense people are a bunch of idiots."
Boom~
A loud noise came faintly.
Alex took a glass of water and said with a smile: "Old Qin, what's wrong?"
"What, Lao Qin, call me sir!" Lao Qin grabbed the cup angrily and took a swig of water. "They clearly know that the transmission channel is unstable, but they are still exceeding the standard, every day!"
"Calm down, sir," Alex said helplessly, "There is nothing they can do. The Joint Staff Department has a tight task. It needs to transport 300,000 tons of basic materials within a month. It will definitely not be completed without exceeding the standard."
"Come on," Lao Qin snorted and said dissatisfied, "It's the same as above. You said that the transmission channel from outside the Spiritual Gate to the anchor space is so important, so the throughput can't be increased?"
"Shh," Alex signaled Old Qin to stop talking nonsense, "The delegation hasn't come back yet, and our defense system is ineffective. The entrance to the transmission channel is in the spiritual world. The throughput is too high and unsafe. If the goblins take the opportunity to retaliate... "
Lao Qin actually knew this truth, but he still hummed: "Who dares to take revenge on us? With the protection of the Twin Gods, if you dare to come, you will die. Besides, there are two aliens guarding outside."
"Ellen is very interesting," Alex sneered, "an alien made of liquid actually likes women."
Lao Qin teased: "You get along well with aliens."
"I want to know more about the Twin Gods," Alex asked closer, "They came to the Anchor Space last week, did you see it?"
"Well," Lao Qin licked his dry lips and said softly, "I reported the latest news from the delegation. At that time, the Twin Gods were less than two meters away from me."
Alex showed an envious look: "What does he look like in "The Beach"?"
"Much younger than the actor in the movie," Lao Qin smiled, "I feel easy to get along with."
"Hey, it's a pity that my piety level is only 75 points, and I have never been qualified to enter the church..."
"It's okay. When the delegation comes back, the Twin Gods will come again. Then I will find a way to bring you to the front."
Alex said in surprise: "You said this, Lao Qin."
"what is it call?"
"Sir!" Alex stood at attention and raised his hand.
Lao Qin smiled and kicked him, then sighed: "I heard that the army will be reorganized soon, and I can't say who will be the commander by then."
"How could it be?" Alex squeezed Lao Qin's shoulders diligently, "You are one of the only remaining tactical assault ship commanders in the expeditionary force. With such rich experience, you will definitely be able to join the joint staff after reorganization."
"After seeing the alien spacecraft, I realized that our technology is far behind, and my experience is of little use." Lao Qin thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "In addition, most of the people who accompanied the Twin Gods here last time They are all strangers, and there is no heroic spirit, which shows that after the civil war in Dros, the Twin Gods no longer trust the Hall of Valor..."
"Ah? I heard that Putnam's Xin'ao Dean and Zhuos' Seventh Princess have been..."
"Are they heroic spirits?" Lao Qin asked.
Alex was speechless.
for a long time.
Lao Qin said slowly: "When I went to Zhenjie Fort to meet the Twin Gods, I didn't receive the order. Later I found out that Qian Han had received it. I couldn't figure it out. Why? In which exercise did he not be fooled by me? , I couldn’t figure out how I was still alive when they were dead... For a long time, I didn’t dare to sleep. As soon as I fell asleep, I would dream about them. They were walking arm in arm, farther and farther away, and I couldn’t catch up no matter how I ran. …”
Alex patted Lao Qin's back gently.
"Later, the commander-in-chief came to me in person and scolded me. He said that he kept you alive to show the old brothers the new era they forged with their flesh and blood..."
"Sir Robben...is already the chief of staff."
"Chief of Staff?" Lao Qin waved his hand and said, "Look, Robben will soon become the commander of the entire human legion, but no matter when, he will be a veteran of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force. Why are you here? Because he I trust you, now, the Twin Gods have a new 'Hall of Valor', Alex, a new era is coming, you are still young, you must seize the opportunity."
"Hall of Valor..." Alex was stunned.
Sudden.
A rapid beep sounded.
Alex shuddered suddenly, sat back on the console, hurriedly put on the headphones, and immediately heard a vague voice:
"Zhenjie Fort, I...Rani...Ya."
Alex adjusted the gravitational field parameters and said nervously: "Lanikea, I am Zhenjie Fort. What do you think of my voice?"
There was a burst of noise from the headphones, and the voice was intermittent: "I hear your voice is good, how do you hear my voice?"
Alex adjusted the parameters again and asked: "Lanikea, how do you hear my voice?"
The voice in the earphones finally became clear: "Zhenjie Fort, I hear your voice is good. I expect to dock in six hours and fifteen minutes."
"Lanikea, I have received the message. I wish you good luck," Alex said with a trembling voice, his eyes red, "Welcome home."
——————————
Five hours later.
Outside the gate of spiritual principles, on the endless shallow water.
Alex was wearing the dark blue uniform of a communications officer of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force, with silver shoulder straps showing his rank of third-class sergeant major.
He stood up straight, but the sweat on his forehead revealed his inner nervousness.
"Don't be so tense, relax," Lao Qin looked straight ahead and said in a calm voice, "I'll tell you a secret about getting along with your superiors."
Alex swallowed: "Yeah."
"While you are in awe, you should also treat him as your friend," Lao Qin lowered his head and adjusted his badge. "Be honest, neither humble nor arrogant. Be his brother, not his lackey."
"What if, what if they are twin gods?"
"Then it's even more like this," Lao Qin looked at the white sky in the distance. "The higher people stand, the more they need true friends. What they lack most is lackeys."
Alex took a deep breath and turned around to look. Lao Qin was wearing the gray military uniform of the Galaxy's security director. The gold epaulettes reflected the light. He was usually informal, but at this moment his temperament became calm and majestic.
He had never seen Lao Qin showing such an expression, and suddenly realized that perhaps only such a person could win Robben's trust and become Robben's brother.
Do you regard the twin gods as friends?
Alex relaxed slightly and looked back.
Dozens of sergeants at all levels from the Interstellar Expedition Corps and the Deep Space Defense Corps stationed at the Gate of Spiritual Reason stood in a square formation, all wearing straight military uniforms.
Many people looked at him with faint dissatisfaction in their eyes, more people looked nervous, and some were even sweating profusely.
He withdrew his gaze and held his head high unconsciously.
Lao Qin beside him smiled with satisfaction.
next moment.
A young man appeared in front of them.
bass!
All sergeants stood at attention in unison and raised their hands in salute.
Alex stared at the young man's face intently, and a voice echoed in his heart: "These are the Twin Gods..."
The twin gods nodded slightly, turned around, and looked into the distance.
Then, figures appeared around one after another, looking in the same direction.
One of the women with short blue hair happened to be standing next to Alex, turned around and said with a smile: "What's your name?"
"Sir," Alex raised his chest and was about to call out his military rank and full name when he suddenly thought of Lao Qin's words, lowered his voice and leaned forward, "My name is Alex."
The woman nodded, crossed her arms and looked into the distance.
At this time.
In the distant sky, a huge fleet was slowly approaching, wrapped in clouds.
