Every era will leave some iconic people and things.

These people and things will leave deep traces in the years, like stars in the sky.

Many years later, when people look back and look at the historical Milky way, they still see the stars shining in the Milky way at the first sight, and then see the background of the whole starry sky near the stars.

Therefore, how the stars twinkle in a certain era has laid the tone for future generations to look back on this period of history.

In the 40 years from 2920 to 2960, the two brightest stars must be "destiny pact" and "nameless fleet" in the infinitely long human history.

The fate pact represents mankind's determination to make key changes in the face of the turning point of civilization. This determination is incomparably great and has laid the cornerstone of human development in the galaxy.

The nameless fleet represents the bravery of human soldiers at all costs during this period.

Zhou Donglai's action policy of "rapid reproduction, expansion of troops, dispersion and sudden advance" is bound to be recorded in history in a controversial way.

The conflict between individual and collective values has reached its extreme in the nameless fleet in these 40 years.

This is not only a great sacrifice for all mankind, but also a ruthless trample on the life choice of young people who have been quickly trained in these 40 years.

In the distant future, some people who think they are just will say that Zhou Donglai's behavior is despicable, but in a sense, Zhou Donglai's courage to face despicability is great.

But no matter what posterity will say, whenever posterity will open this history, it must be the countless heroic deeds left over in this period of time.

……

April 1, 2931.

It has rapidly expanded to 1.07 million people, including 18000 adults, and the rest are children. As usual, team 6322 quietly moved forward under the cover of the shielding field in the gravitational line channel.

Team 6322 is relatively special among all teams and was very lucky to meet one β Type 37 dark energy filling area, and quickly drain the easily exploitable activity in this area in a short time β Type 37 dark energy, which supplements a lot of energy.

Moreover, after leaving for three years, the staff in charge of Education found that they had received β Compared with ordinary people, the intelligence development of human children in the universe radiated by type 37 dark energy has increased by 3%. This made the children of team 6322 mature a little faster, and many gifted children emerged.

Among them, hundreds of people show very obvious characteristics of super genius.

Today, tens of thousands of children aged seven to ten in team 6322 have boarded important posts in advance.

And 6322 has never encountered war in the 11 year voyage, so it has developed very fast.

The unknown fleet has high hopes for this small unit. It believes that as long as 6322 can continue to develop like this, it will certainly play an extremely important role in the unknown fleet, and some gifted children can become the number one person in charge of key projects.

One girl even hopes to take over Emerson's mantle.

In view of this, Zhou Donglai and others decided to improve the security level of 6322. Dozens of fleets slightly changed the direction of travel, approached the route of 6322, could intercept the ambush ahead of time, and were ready to cover it in case of accidents, so as to provide a safety factor second only to the core fleet for 6322.

However, the enemy's ability is changing rapidly, and it is inevitable that there will be a fish in the net,

At 6:00 a.m. on April 1, 2931, major Wang Lei, commander of the 4th reconnaissance company subordinate to the 8119 sub unit responsible for covering the 6322 sub unit, got up early as usual. While eating the breakfast prepared by his wife, he explained the driving experience of the high-speed reconnaissance shuttle to his two six-year-old daughters and three five-year-old sons.

"Well, the children don't have to be investigators. Dabao Erbao has just passed the B-level scientific literacy assessment and has the opportunity to become a scientific researcher. I don't know where he will be assigned. You should tell less about your story so as not to bias the children's personal tendency."

The wife patted her husband on the shoulder.

Wang Lei smiled, "that's not good. I'm the ace scout in our fleet. Why do I have to train a successor?"

"You can pull it down. You haven't passed the S-level investigator examination for the 16th time this month. You're still a trump card."

Wang Lei said, "that's because I'm too emotional. It's not that I can't reach it! In front of children, you have to maintain my glorious image as a father!"

The wife looked at her husband's angry appearance and smiled, "OK, I'm wrong. Please forgive Xiao Ke, major Wang."

After that, his wife quietly came to Wang Lei's ear and said, "major Wang, today is our wedding anniversary. I contacted the after-school trusteeship center. In the afternoon, the children go to make up classes after school, and they won't be sent home until 10 p.m. in the evening. Let's have a natural hot pot? I want to die of that smell."

"OK!"

The genetic arousal of the couple's five children is more than 50%. They have sharp ears. They can't hear the couple's whispers, but they are not noisy.

They want to leave a little more private space for their parents.

At 7:30 a.m., Wang Lei and his comrades in the company completed the equipment inspection. They flew out of the patrol mother ship in an ultra-high speed investigation shuttle and went to different directions for routine patrol.

At 8:15, company 4 and company 3 completed the task handover halfway.

Subsequently, the 108 reconnaissance shuttles of the fourth company left the curvature flight state and entered the original three-dimensional space for folding and jumping patrol.

In the next eight hours, the 108 reconnaissance shuttles will maintain a large-scale jump patrol for up to eight hours, enter curvature flight at about 4 p.m., hand over work with the succeeding fifth reconnaissance company in the gravitational line channel, and then return to the 8119 branch fleet.

At 8:35 a.m., the deputy company commander captured an abnormal signal.

Nearby Wang Lei and seven other comrades turned to investigate.

At 8:53, Wang Lei arrived first and lost contact with his teammates.

Experienced Wang Lei has never encountered such a situation.

The first moment, he was still flying normally at 0.8 times the speed of light in the original three-dimensional space, but the alarm of all equipment on his investigation shuttle sounded at the same time, showing that his moving speed instantly decreased from 0.8 times the speed of light to 0, and his quantum information link with the outside world was completely shielded.

In front of him, a sea urchin like object about 150 kilometers in diameter was floating.

The top of countless long needles on the sea urchin is emitting strange fluorescence, changing the spatial rules within the nearby diameter of 50 million kilometers.

At the same time, Wang Lei's thinking is also gradually stagnating.

Experienced Wang Lei quickly judged that this is a new type of arms of compound eye.

The short-lived energy detector shows that the energy intensity response inside the sea urchin is comparable to that of the honeycomb giant ship.

He knew something big had happened.

If you can't transmit the information, then your teammates will approach one by one and be controlled one by one, and may even expose the whereabouts of branch fleet 8119.

Just as he thought so, he suddenly found that the light on the sea urchin needle began to condense and spread radially in one direction in space.

"Warning, space spanning signal scanning is detected. The enemy unit is trying to scan the energy dissipation index of the gravitational line channel within 10 light-years through the connection between the original three-dimensional space and the curvature space."

Wang Leixin can't call it well. The scanning direction of the enemy ship is the direction of the 6322 branch fleet. It will certainly reveal its whereabouts!

Before the complete stagnation of his thinking, Wang Lei activated the airborne micro fragmentation bomb on his reconnaissance shuttle and set the detonation frequency of fragmentation bomb to artificially encrypted information.

8:55.

A small-scale shatter bomb explosion set off small ripples in the cosmic sky.

The approaching deputy company commander quickly analyzed the encrypted information carried in this ripple.

"All personnel shall evacuate in a scattered way and avoid the passage of k6541 gravity line. Inform the fleet commander to strengthen the patrol and investigation intensity, open the overload concealed protective layer and pass through the front until it is 20 light-years away."

This is the core message that Wang Lei needs to convey to others.

There is another paragraph.

"Sorry, I can't return. Don't wait for me. Please tell my wife for me that I can't eat with her. But I love her deeply. Move forward! Mankind! Move forward!"

……

March 2934.

Branch fleet 173 directly encountered an enemy medium-sized army with 800 large combat units.

In the unavoidable situation, the two sides fought with great intensity.

Half an hour after the fighting broke out, fleet 173, while announcing the powerful performance of the enemy's new combat units to other fleets, was soberly aware of the great disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and was ready to start the second level decentralized evacuation.

After paying the lives of more than 700000 people, accounting for 56% of the total population, the remaining 100 ships finally managed to escape.

In this battle, a 13-year-old combat genius made a breakthrough from level B to level a, and killed a large number of pursuit enemy aircraft.

But after the successful withdrawal, the boy cried his eyes.

He was asked what was going on.

He was incoherent and could not speak clearly, so he only played a combat video.

On both sides of the video, there are cockpit videos of the teenager and his teacher.

His teacher is a 132 year old middle-aged soldier, A-Class. He is a rare survivor of the great showdown before dispersion. He is highly respected in the branch fleet 173.

At first, the master and apprentice cooperated with each other and manipulated the high-performance omnipotent armor to harvest the enemy aircraft at a very fast speed on the battlefield.

But soon, there was a fierce dispute between them.

Because of their outstanding performance, they attracted the idea of the enemy's command, quietly laid siege traps, and prepared to focus on attacking and killing the teachers and disciples.

When the master and apprentice found that the situation was not right, they were already in a tight encirclement, and the folding and jumping channel had been closed. There was no way out.

The master and apprentice immediately decided that one person must take the new S-class enhancement medicine that is bound to die, launch a strong attack, tear a gap in the other party's encirclement and cover the other person's evacuation.

After a moment of argument, the young genius did not discuss with the teacher and took the initiative to choose injection.

His reason is that teachers are good at cultivating students. He can die, but teachers can't die.

If he dies, the teacher can bring out more colleges as excellent as him.

However, after entering, the young genius found that he had been cheated. I don't know when the S-level medicine in his armor was quietly replaced by the non lethal A-level medicine by his teacher.

The boy was so angry that he shouted abuse.

The middle-aged soldier said proudly, "fight with me, you smelly boy is too young. All right, let's go and follow me."

"No... no... teacher."

The boy reddened his eyes.

After all, it was the first time he really participated in the war. He lacked some experience. The teenager was dominated by his own emotional ups and downs, and his reaction slowed down by half a beat.

But the war situation is changing rapidly and can't be delayed. In the next moment, the middle-aged soldiers have turned on a comprehensive overload and killed with more than a dozen evolutionary war bees of the same level.

"Bastard, if you don't want me to die in vain, just follow up!"

The boy finally moved.

"Smelly boy, see clearly. This is the last lesson I'll give you. Now I'm beyond level s, and I'm infinitely close to the conventional ability of the peak warrior. How much you can learn depends on whether you're serious or not."

The teacher deliberately sold a flaw and successfully tore up two war bees.

One and a half minutes later, the teenager successfully escaped, but the teacher's armor had been broken, leaving only half of his body, and the life support system was broken.

The broken body of the middle-aged soldier is floating in space, and only a tactical helmet used to send and receive information and control armor is still worn on his head.

The enemy judged that he had completely lost his combat effectiveness and turned to pursue the boy who was going away.

The boy continued to flee.

The video did not stop.

The middle-aged man smiled and grinned while spitting blood: "Little bastard, let's go. I'm here. You still have a long way to go. Although you're only A-level now, I really care about you. I seem to see the shadow of instructor Tong Ling in those years on you. You will climb the peak. By the way, help me sort out the relics in the combat readiness cabin when you go back. There's a red cloth in the cabinet, which my grandfather gave me."

Teenager: "teacher, what kind of cloth is that?"

"My grandpa said it came from a flag. By the way, if my wife asks me what's wrong, you tell her that I went back to Grandpa's hometown for barbecue."

The video stopped suddenly.

……

In August 2939, the branch fleet 10881 was defeated, and only a few ships escaped successfully.

One of them, a budding ship operated by a recruit regiment composed of only 5000 recruits aged 10-15, got away.

Other mature soldiers in the branch ship have already been killed one after another. In the three-week pursuit war, all other children have also been killed, and only these newcomers are left in the whole fleet.

In the previous fierce battle, the remaining budding ships successfully sent out the tanks filled with frozen embryos before being destroyed, and were successively sent to the budding ship with specially modified mobility.

At this time, a total of 2.06 million frozen embryos were stored on the budding ship, which is the only fruit of all civilized resources created by fleet 10881 over the years.

The captain of the budding ship is a 242 year old first generation veteran. The veteran also experienced the great escape of breaking up into parts before. However, fortunately, he was deeply hurt when he started the war. He returned to the rear ship for treatment early, but he succeeded and survived.

Under the leadership of the old captain, he gave full play to the performance of the high-speed budding ship, and trained these recruits with an average age of less than 13 years while fighting and running.

Under the command of the old captain who played an extraordinary role, these recruits quickly grew up, used the limited equipment on the budding ship to harass and cover the pursuit of the enemy, miraculously persisted for 11 months and fled more than 130 billion kilometers.

Unfortunately, although the teenagers and the old captain tried their best, there were still fewer and fewer people behind.

At the last moment, in addition to the essential more than 50 pilots, including the old captain, there were only 16 soldiers left.

When everyone was in despair, Tong Ling finally led more than 1000 peak soldiers allocated by Zhou Donglai from the core fleet to arrive, successfully resisted the pursuit of enemy ships and saved the 2.06 million frozen embryos.

However, it is a pity that the old captain and the other 15 teenagers failed to survive.

In order to cover the 100% smooth evacuation of the sprout ship and Tong Ling's special forces, the 16 person sprout ship took out a large martyr explosion and destruction bomb from the tail warehouse, roared into the enemy array and died with the enemy's main ship.
