January 24, 2036, the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
In Bai Qihao's restaurant, a grand banquet was going on.
Since it coincides with the traditional Western Christmas and the Spring Festival is approaching, and the Wang Jian is about to leave the Dibby Galaxy to set up a defense line in the new airspace over the Auriga, this gathering has been given more meaning.
In addition to the crew members of the Baiqi, most of the crew members of the other three flagships also gathered here on landing ships, leaving only the necessary personnel on duty, so that the space is unusually spacious on weekdays. The restaurant actually became crowded, and even the chief officers of the former enemy headquarters were squeezed into the corner.
"Lao Yang, are you going to the office to drink? These guys are beating you down in circles like this. Even if you drink cold water, you can't stand it."
Zeng Yuanhai loosened a button on his belt, laughed and cursed, and drove away the correspondent on his ship who wanted to toast.
"Okay, it's a bit noisy here." Yang Wenzhi smiled and nodded.
As a former enemy commander, he usually behaves calmly, but today... on such a special day, it would be inappropriate to be tense. So he stood up and, as the former commander-in-chief of the enemy headquarters, gave a simple congratulatory message to all the frontline soldiers - well, let everyone eat and drink well.
As for whether there would be trouble, that was completely out of his mind - Aita's military police mode had already been launched, specializing in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Soon, a group of commanders got up and headed to the conference room.
When the robot guards served food and wine again, everyone was no longer interested in drinking. No one knew who mentioned the training two years ago, and everyone's thoughts instantly returned to the scene at the moon base.
"Come to think of it, we have been wandering outside for more than a year." Colonel Smil is now extremely proficient in Mandarin, without even a hint of accent. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp: "I haven't been home for a year."
"What you are saying, who has ever returned home? By the way, has Lao Ao ever returned? Isn't there an artificial wormhole over there? It would be easy to go back, right?"
"He was busy picking up Miss Kerong all day and obviously didn't go home."
"Tsk, tsk, is it true?"
"What do you think?"
"Damn it, I have to ask Kerong what a woman smells like next time."
"Isn't it the same when the lights are turned off?"
Everyone laughed.
Although the people present here are all officers of the new era, and all of them are high-level intellectuals, among men, having fun with absent companions and chatting about women are topics that will never go out of style.
However, everyone still had a sense of proportion after all and did not continue to slip up.
"Old Yang, is there any news? We can't keep wasting our time here, right?" After laughing, Smil looked at Yang Wenzhi: "I asked for leave a week ago, but the superiors directly rejected it. I think something big is brewing. Son."
As he spoke, he looked at the others: "Do you think so?"
No one answered, and all looked at Yang Wenzhi at the same time - this was the Chief of General Staff of their former enemy headquarters, and he had the private communication numbers of many big bosses, even Academician Ye Ming's! When it comes to being well-informed, it’s him.
Facing everyone's gaze, Yang Wenzhi just smiled and shook his head.
"Lao Yang, is it true or not?"
"Not really."
"Then what's the deal... whether to fight or not, and not allowed to lie, just stare blankly and start a new cool war in space?"
"Liang Zhan is a p. Now we don't even know where the main fleet is, nor do we even know the overall strength of the enemy..."
"Besides, we can't have a colonel commanding dozens or nearly a hundred warships, can we? Even the navy didn't have such low-profile personnel at the time!"
Everyone was chattering, expressing their annoyances one by one.
As professional soldiers, of course they have the duty to obey orders, but they are not robots who only know how to obey.
In the Battle of Auriga the year before last, they made great contributions, and then began to advance into the Karatu Galaxy, completing the prototype of the Civilized Circle Alliance of the Milky Way - Andromeda Galaxy - Triangulum Galaxy - Karatu Galaxy - Tara Galaxy. . Then it advanced into the Dika galaxy and completed a beautiful annihilation battle in the Tara galaxy...
So far, they have been wandering outside for at least a year and a half.
Although communication is now developed and we can communicate with family members in real time without any barriers, how can this kind of virtual scene compare with being in the same room and having close contact with loved ones?
And they are willing to wander like this, in addition to performing their duties as soldiers, in addition to protecting the glory of human civilization... They also hope to be able to win battles and then rise all the way up.
This is human nature.
If soldiers don't fight, they can only slowly gain qualifications... It's not that they can't endure it... but is now the time to endure it?
Obviously not!
Who here doesn't want to see that one day, the human fleet will conquer the universe under their leadership.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Our main thing now is to wait. Everyone must believe that the headquarters is definitely more professional than us and has considered it more comprehensively." Seeing everyone complaining, Yang Wenzhi picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Here. ,drink wine!"
"Still drinking? Are you really afraid of the enemy's surprise attack?" Zeng Yuanhai shook his head with a smile, but also raised his glass.
"Well, you really want the enemy to come over, right? Then you can fight and run away?"
"Tch! If the enemy really wants to come now, that only means one problem. They know us well and have internal intelligence. Otherwise..."
Just before Zeng Yuanhai finished speaking, Aita's voice suddenly sounded above his head.
"Commander Yang Wenzhi, we have received the communication from Taiyue Command Center and will automatically access it in thirty seconds. Please prepare."
Everyone was startled when they heard Aita's voice!
Zeng Yuanhai had a weird expression on his face - he couldn't really be right, could he? Did Taiyue receive any news?
But then, everyone woke up and quickly put away the bottles and glasses.
Thirty seconds later, the light curtain lowered, and Lao Qin from the Taiyue Command Center appeared on the screen with a serious face.
"It's good that everyone is here. Former enemy headquarters."
"Here!" As soon as Yang Wenzhi heard Qin Weiguo's voice, he immediately realized that it was a military order and stood up immediately. The others looked at each other and stood up.
"Accepting the order of the Military Executive Committee of the Human Community, the former enemy headquarters Baiqi, Alexander, Mengtian and Mercury and their fleets are ordered to enter Level 1 combat status immediately. The mission of the former enemy headquarters Wangjian and its fleets remains unchanged , headed to the Auriga-LC galaxy for strategic garrison."
Yang Wenzhi's expression remained unchanged, he didn't even shift his gaze, and he didn't answer immediately - he knew that there would definitely be orders next.
Sure enough, after a pause, Qin Weiguo continued: "At the same time, the former enemy headquarters must complete the in-depth simulation and deduction analysis of the enemy's raid within a week, and collect and organize all results. Pay special attention to the chain reaction caused by the second-generation rice grains .”
"Yes!" Yang Wenzhi's eyes flashed and he responded instantly.
"Yes." Qin Weiguo's serious expression softened slightly, and he said with a slight smile: "Don't make random guesses. Just wait for the next order."
"Boss, what you said, how can we not make random guesses!" Zeng Yuanhai immediately hit the snake and followed the stick: "Is there going to be a war?"
"That's none of your business."
"I..." Zeng Yuanhai was speechless for a while.
"Okay, I know you are drinking today, I wish you all a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas."
"Then, get ready, boys. If we really have to fight... then..." Qin Weiguo glanced at everyone one by one, with a serious and determined expression: "This is not about fighting or sacrifice, but about the entire It is an issue of strategic planning for human civilization in the next decades or even centuries, and an issue of confidence in the entire human civilization!”
"So, we must not lose!"
…
The picture of Qin Weiguo disappeared, but everyone in the office fell into collective silence.
It's really good to have a battle.
But when there is a huge disparity in the numbers between the enemy and ourselves, to complete a battle that must be won... this kind of pressure instantly makes everyone feel as heavy as a mountain on their backs and they are speechless.
A few seconds later, Yang Wenzhi's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath and sat down quickly.
"Keep drinking!"
…
…
Five hundred million light years away, the sacred galaxy.
Mobius is a planet No. 4 located in the outer ring of the habitable zone of main sequence stars. If viewed from distant space, this planet has long lost the shape of a natural planet.
With the Mobis planet as the center, there are several extremely huge artificial star rings surrounding it. These star rings are intertwined and scattered, just like the trajectory of electrons orbiting around the atomic nucleus, surrounding the Mobis planet.
On the star ring, there are countless man-made cities. In the night sky, each city is brightly lit, like a pearl. The star rings connecting these cities are also extremely shining, like strips of lights in the night sky.
And at the intersection of the star rings, a huge fully enclosed sphere emits dazzling white light. It is extremely huge, just like an artificial sun, shining brightly in space.
Countless spaceships are parked at various exits of the star ring. From time to time, spacecraft take off and land, and then fly to a giant artificial ring in space.
If humans saw it, they would know at a glance that this ring is the legendary man-made singularity.
…
Light flowed on the ring, and in just a blink of an eye, a spaceship appeared from the void. After a moment, it started quickly and swept towards a corner of the artificial star ring.
On the spaceship, Hall sat by the window and slowly opened his eyes.
He first glanced at the star ring like a light strip, and then looked at the satellite-like light ball that was connected to the artificial star ring. In silence, he lowered his head slightly and touched his right chest with his left hand.
This is the tribute of every Holy Empire man to the promised land.
Yes, that ball of light is the "promised land".
After leaving behind a building that could be called a miracle in the universe, the god-like ancestors of the Holy Empire all went to the Paradise and never appeared "in person" again.
But everyone knows that the ancestors have not disappeared, but have always been guarding the sacred civilization and their descendants, giving them a legacy that can shine for eternity.
After saluting, Hall slowly withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again.
He left the base of Galaxy 31 half a month ago. His original plan was to return directly to his home planet, but before leaving, he changed his mind and went to Base 32 and Base 30 first.
The numbers of these two bases are close to his base, and the location is also closest to his mission area. In other words, in case of an out-of-control situation, these two bases can directly support him.
It's just that the people in charge of these two bases don't have much contact with him, and they can only be regarded as acquaintances. Therefore, in order to suddenly obtain their help, in addition to direct orders from the legion, he also needs personal relationships. That's it - fortunately, the people in charge of those two bases were pretty good. After he promised the phase-change metal, these people quickly agreed to support him.
Well, Hall knows that these people are willing to help him, probably more from the perspective of having fun - these two bases have been stable for hundreds of years. To put it in their words, they almost developed bed sores while sleeping.
There was an enemy that looked quite interesting, so they naturally didn't want to miss it.
And they also recognized Hall's concept. Compared with such a rapidly developing civilization, although the Execution Corps is powerful, many technologies still originated from thousands of years ago. The technology is mature and the cost is low... but it is still lagging behind!
A non-military organization like the Sumaya Enlightenment Association, the spaceship can run so fast... Why are you embarrassing the Legion?
The militants of the legion have long made suggestions to destroy the Sumaya gang, but whenever Sumaya's spaceship is mentioned, their teeth itch with hatred - they can't beat it, but you can't catch up either. !
Now, if there is a chance to get the new technology of the Enlightenment Association and complete the equipment upgrade of the legion, it will always be a good thing for the legion.
Even if humans are not a piece of cake, we can still counterattack Sumaya in the future and use his bones to cook his oil!
"Executive Officer, the merger will take place in one minute, please be prepared."
Hall heard the prompt from the automatic driving system in his ears and opened his eyes again.
At this time, his spaceship had arrived above the star ring.
Looking from a distance, the entire star ring belt can be seen. He could even see the fast-flying orbiter in the transparent ring diagonally above, as well as some pedestrians taking a leisurely stroll.
Looking down, he could also see "farmers" standing "upside down", weeding and cultivating in the farmland.
Well, the farmers here, they're purely retro lovers.
As early as ten thousand years ago, the sages of Paradise established artificial food factories on the ground, which completely freed civilization from labor and led the people of the Empire to... a path of no return where they ate and waited to die.
The spacecraft docked, and Hall slowly walked out of the docking bay. A moment later, a legion's exclusive orbiter stopped in front of him.
"Sir Hall, where are you going?" The driver was a young man who looked back. When he turned around, the young man's face did not conceal his admiration for Hall.
After all, Hall is among the top ten CEOs out of 108.
"Well, let's go to the Seer Academy first."
"Okay, please sit tight, we will slide down for 200,000 kilometers."
As the young man's voice fell, the traffic vehicle began to slowly start, and after a while it drove into an avenue pointing to the ground.
This road is directly connected to the ground and is called Tongtian.
