As the frigate leaps out of the wormhole, a new day dawns.
The stars in the distance are steadily emitting orange light, and as many as nineteen planets are orbiting. This is a unique galaxy. There are three first-level habitable stars and eight second-level habitable stars in the galaxy! Most of the other planets also have unique resource reserves.
A first-level habitable star refers to a planet with a breathable environment, while a second-level habitable star refers to a planet with water and other key resources necessary to sustain life, on which large-scale residential bases can be built.
The galaxy in front of us actually has more than ten habitable planets. Looking at the vast star field occupied by mankind, we can't find many similar ones.
This Tianmen-1 galaxy is one of the most brilliant achievements of interstellar development in the early Tang Dynasty. After nearly a thousand years of continuous development, Tianmen-1 is now not only dotted with cities on habitable stars, but also with various kinds of space between planets. base.
Basically every few decades, a complete interstellar fleet will sail out from the Tianmen Galaxy.
This was not only the largest starship manufacturing base in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also the economic center and strategic hub of the entire dynasty. Around the galaxy, there are more than ten permanent interstellar space stations dedicated to fixed interstellar flight routes. Around the space station, there will be brilliant bursts of light from time to time, which is the space shock and distortion produced when the starship jumps out of the wormhole.
Today, the entire permanent population of Tianmenyi has exceeded 10 billion. It is said that the number of temporary residents without formal settlement procedures and even illegal households is even greater than the permanent population.
This is the economic center of the entire dynasty. All major forces and families have agents here, or they may simply use this as the basis for their development.
For example, the backbone of the Lin family and the Li family are both here.
Li is the national surname of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In addition to the royal family, there are three other families with the surname Li. Among them, Li Bozhi, Duke of Weiyuan, was Li Ruobai's father. It's just that as the youngest son in the family, Li Ruobai doesn't have much say.
Lin Xuanshang first sent Lin Xi and Li Ruobai back to the family, and then sent the others to the dynasty star, also to ensure the safety of the two. After all, the opponent can even attack Dongshou, and his eyes and hands are very good, so he has to be on guard.
When the light distortion caused by the turmoil in the surrounding space completely calmed down, a fully armed interstellar fleet appeared, including a capital ship. This fleet of more than a dozen large and small starships surrounded them instantly, separating the two frigates from other starships and protecting them as they headed into the galaxy.
Chu Jungui was with other members of the Winter Hunting Team, while Lin Xi and Li Ruobai were on another frigate. After entering the galaxy, the two frigates separated and each headed for a planet.
Lin Xi sat in front of the porthole, silently looking at the scenery outside the window without saying a word. Li Ruobai was also unusually solemn, just checking something on his personal terminal. After narrowly escaping death, they didn't seem very happy after returning home.
The frigate sailed towards Tianmen 1-4, slowly entered the planet's orbit, and landed at the star port. After stepping off the starship, Li Ruobai said goodbye to Lin Xi, boarded the small planetary shuttle and flew to Weiyuan, the city where the Li family is located.
As soon as Li Ruobai left, Lin Xi resumed her attitude of staying away from strangers, boarded the shuttle sent by the Lin family, and flew directly to the family base.
After a while, Lin Xi opened a heavy mahogany door and walked into an antique study.
An old man with snow-white hair stood in the room, standing with his hands behind his hands, admiring a painting on the wall. Hearing the sound of the door, he turned around and said, "Xixi is back."
Seeing the old man, Lin Xi was suddenly startled and said, "Grandpa! Why are you back?"
The old man smiled and said, "I heard something happened to you, how could I still stay outside? I rushed back right away. But I hope you're fine!"
Suddenly, countless grievances came to Lin Xi's heart. Her eyes burned, and she ran over and threw herself into the old man's arms. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
The old man also sighed, caressing Lin Xi's head, and kept saying: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Lin Xi finally cried until she couldn't help but hold back her sorrow and left the old man's arms. Her eyes were a little swollen. She dried her eyes, quickly touched up some makeup, and suppressed the traces of crying.
The old man shook his head and said: "You are still young, it's no big deal if you cry. Alas, you are still so strong."
Lin Xi calmed down and said, "I am the descendant of the Lin family, and I am also a member of the dynasty. In my father's generation alone, six of the Lin family's children died for the country, so this is nothing to me."
"That's what I say, but I, the descendants of the Lin family, can die on the battlefield fighting for the country, but we cannot die under the conspiracy of the same roommate. If you fight against the community or star thieves and die, then I will never say anything. But this Once, it was someone from the dynasty who secretly attacked you. This matter must not be tolerated! I will show off my old face and summon my former disciples and old friends to work together. I don’t believe that the mastermind behind the scenes can’t be found. No matter who it is, I will fight for it. Get to the bottom of it!”
Lin Xi said: "Grandpa, uncle thinks there may be a hidden meaning in this matter. Besides, there is no need to go to such great lengths for me, right?"
"You don't have to worry about this. You are the most outstanding child of the younger generation of our Lin family. If we attack you, we will attack our Lin family. If we don't show our attitude, others may think that our Lin family is easy to bully!"
The old man's words were so convincing that Lin Xi did not dare to persuade him.
The old man's voice slowed down a little, and he said: "Now is no longer the time when I was in power. Although we went to war with the Community and the Federation at the same time, we had the same enemy inside, and we were united and unbreakable. There is also the old commander Yaowu. The Duke re-dressed and went on an expedition. In a remote area, he withstood the siege of the opponent's main fleet for three years without losing an inch of territory. But now, I believe you know even if I don't tell you, the country is in turmoil, and every household has its own plans, and there is no lack of care. An example of disregarding the interests of the dynasty. Alas, the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be."
After sighing, the old man said slowly: "When I was in charge of the Ministry of National Defense, many old brothers commanded heavy troops and fought abroad all year round to expand territories, but no one thought about putting the captured star fields into their own pockets. Now. What? Humph, it’s such a mess!”
"My father and uncle are still dedicated to serving the public good."
"It's just your father. I get angry when Xuan Shang mentions him. He ignored his great future and insisted on promoting an ambitious woman, which caused unrest in the family and became the laughing stock of the entire dynasty's fleet! He thinks it’s enough to win two battles?”
Lin Xi didn't expect that Lin Xuanshang would also be scolded in one sentence.
The old man's anger subsided a little, and he said: "Forget it, let's not mention your uncle. By the way, I heard that something happened to you, and Xuancheng rushed over from the main star to see you. You clean up first, and we will do it during the family dinner in the evening. You can see him now.”
Lin Xi's face changed slightly, and her smile was a little forced.
