The Milky Way is overhanging, the stars are like waterfalls, and somewhere in the Kunde frontline area, a remnant main Kund family fleet is slowly swimming in the universe.
Not long ago, the fleet, code-named "Haiqi", experienced a fierce battle. It was attacked by an imperial ambassador. The command ship and the **** team broke through and broke.
There are only more than 20 **** warships left next to the command ship. Other warships will be annihilated or they will be broken up.
The flagship team of the sea belongs to the Kunming Third Space Corps. The commander of the fleet is the famous general of the Third Corps, Olilt. It is known as the future star of the Third Corps. A few years ago, the third. The Marshal of the Corps has reached the age of retirement, and Olilt is regarded as the first candidate for the position of Marshal of the Third Corps.
However, due to the receipt of the information on the falling spacecraft several years ago, the high-level decision was made to mobilize the war. All the officers were delayed in retirement and all were recruited. This incident was delayed.
At this moment, just after eating a defeated sea flagship team, while stealing stealth, waiting for the next command of the command.
In the bridge of the command ship, the atmosphere was silent and lost, and everyone was immersed in the grief of defeat and loss of comrades.
Olilt silently stood in front of the foremost porthole, leaving only the back to all the operators and adjutants in the room. The color of the carapace was mixed with sad green and angry red.
In the war just now, he was almost led by the commander of the opponent, and the war was defeated, which was partly due to him.
Everyone knows that the commander is the most stressed person and dare not bother to go.
The adjutant hesitated for a long time before he took the courage to walk to the side of Olilt and whispered: "Sir, we..."
" Needless to say."
Olilt turned back and his body gradually returned to a calm blue, slowly saying: "This is not my personal failure, but the failure of civilization. I lost not the opponent, but the entire civilization of the enemy. ""
Olilt knows that his commander is better than the imperial officer, but he believes that it is not just a matter of personal ability. The gap also comes from the foundation of civilization.
In the hands of the opponent, he made his most meticulous operation and decision-making so far. He asked this performance even as an important course case by the military academy. However, what shocked him was that the enemy’s reaction was incredibly fast, almost instantaneous. After seeing his arrangement, it was like playing chess on both sides. The enemy saw through his eyes and squatted back in ten steps, just like playing the game.
In the face of such an opponent, the confidence of the commander is a heavy blow.
It does not mean that the level of Oriel is not good. In fact, he is already a famous in the standards of the Kunde. This is the case. The apparent reason is that the imperial star’s ability is far superior to him, but the deeper reason is The gap between civilizations.
The rise of the three civilizations is accompanied by countless ethnic mournings. Step by step from the flames of war, all the war cases are written in the military academy courses, so the officers can instantly get the corresponding solutions regardless of any situation. The idea is more flexible.
The Kunde people experienced too few interstellar wars. The war cases are far from being comparable to the empire. All the tactics used by the officers are old things that have been explored for many years and the universe has been eliminated. This is the difference.
After the actual combat, Olilt is pessimistic, he can not see the possibility of local wars to win, and now the step by step of each fleet is the best evidence.
In fact, not only is he alone, but unlike the radicals of the top Kunde people, the soldiers who fought on the front lines are basically pessimistic about the war.
They are resentful of their homes being shackled by the enemy, but they do not believe that the sacrifices in this war are necessary. However, the military command is like a mountain, and the high-level command is the will of the soldiers.
Secretly sighed and put away these pessimistic emotions, Oliel looked to the adjutant, Shen Sheng asked:
"Is the order of the command coming?"
"Oh... I just sent it. He asked us to stand by here, recover the broken fleet, and then join the main fleet of the Third Corps to plan a round of attacks on the enemy's Star Gate."
Olilt heard the words, slammed the table violently, and said with anger: "Crossing! Don't retreat now? Is the command really crazy?!"
We have just been broken up, but we still have to stay in this dangerous area to get back to the old department, when the enemy will not chase it!
And the main fleet has collapsed like this, but also forced to meet the enemy's star gate? This is for us to die!
Many officers in the room felt that there was a problem with such tactical arrangements, but they were afraid to speak, and they all stared at Orielt, waiting for the decision of the commander.
Olilt took two steps back and forth and pressed his anger. "Give me the Marshal. I have to ask him personally, what is the decision like this!"
The adjutant nodded, immediately operated, and the communication interface popped up on the virtual screen. After waiting for a few seconds, the call was connected on the opposite side, and the figure of the Third Corps Marshal appeared on the screen.
"Olilt, I heard that you were attacked, but fortunately you are still alive."
"There is a reason for luck." Orielt calmed down. "I received an order from the headquarters. We are planning to attack the enemy's star gate?"
"Yes, this is the command of the headquarters."
"Do you think there is a problem? The war situation has deviated from the original plan, and now it should not continue to fight, so that only more troops will be sacrificed in vain."
"I know, I also think it's time to retreat. I'm dealing with the top. Before that, let's listen to the order."
It was said that Olilt was silent and hung up the communication.
The adjutant cautiously asked: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Olilt glanced at him and suddenly said, "How many warships do we have?"
"Hey, twenty-four."
"Call the captains and pull them into the communication channel."
It was said that everyone immediately acted, and Olilt stood in the same place for a while, and the screens were successively added one more avatar, which was the remaining captain.
At this time, Olilt made a gesture and slowly opened:
"Remember, the next thing, I only say once..."
He said that there was no nutrition encouragement, and he repeated the command of the command. In the process, he had been doing various gestures, and all the captains were concentrating on him.
"Okay, there are so many things to say, let's act."
Finally, Olilt put down his hand and ended the speech.
The captain's head on the screen, one by one, darkened.
At this moment, the adjutant glanced at another command screen and exclaimed: "Sir, all the captains have closed the intelligent core, shielding all outside information, we can't contact them!"
Olilt had expected it and calmly nodded. "Good, you have to shut down the smart core of our spaceship."
Everyone was shocked and suddenly understood what they were, and some did not believe it.
This means... is it to be a deserter? !
"This this……"
The adjutant was stunned.
"Isn't it fast?!" Olilt blinked and his tone sterned.
The adjutant hesitated for a moment, or ran to arrange, and soon people turned off the intelligent core of the command ship.
In this way, the remnant of this sea flagship team became a ghost fleet that lost contact with the outside world.
Olier slowly spit out a sigh of relief and looked at the people who were puzzled by the side. He explained, "Sorry, all this is done in a cautious manner. If we have not guessed wrong, our quantum network has been thoroughly infiltrated by the enemy." ""
Everyone was shocked when this statement came out.
After glanced at it, Olilt slowly said: "I know very well about the marshal. He is a rigid soldier. He never doubts the high-level military order. Although it is an extraordinary period, everyone may change, but cannot let go. Any doubt, I suspect that it was not a marshal at all.
The enemy is likely to infiltrate our command system. Everyone understands the people. The consequences don't need me to say more, so the war is over. I can't follow their instructions. Now I can only save myself. My gesture was a special set of secrets. Only a few people knew that I let all the captains cut off the link. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves. ”
Everyone was stunned by these words, and for a time they could not accept such a large amount of information, and the brain was blank.
The adjutant bit his teeth and braved the courage: "Sir, this is a deserter!"
Olilt was not angry, and gave him a faint look.
"This is a battle that must be lost. No matter what you think, I will not send the remaining subordinates to the battlefield to sacrifice, deserters? No, maybe we are the Kunde... the last survivor."
"So where are we going now?"
"The farther away from here, the better."
Olilt looked out of the porthole and looked into the depths of the stars.
......
"I think there may be a problem with the route."
In a narrow spacecraft room, several ordinary Kund people wore a circle.
Here is one of the immigration fleets, carrying civilians, most of the people on the ship are worried and confused about the future, the atmosphere is low.
Because of the large population, each spaceship is a group of civilians crowded into a room, and this room is home to the brothers born in the same nest, with blood relationship between each other.
"Big Brother, what did you find?" asked a short brother.
The big brother in this nest brother is a burly Pippi shrimp with a low tone:
"I have a friend who is the crew on the guided ship. He told me an insider message. According to the plan, yesterday the fleet should arrive at a planet for a short break, but yesterday did not encounter the planet, the fleet has been moving."
“Is it because they have adjusted their plans? Or will you ask your friends again?”
"My friend has been unable to contact and can't ask anyone." Brother said: "I think there may be embarrassment."
"Brother, will you be too sensitive, if there is a problem, it will be notified."
"I have a bad intuition, can't say it." Big Brother shook his head.
"Hey, I want to do so much, and I can't help, we just listen to the fleet arrangement." One of the brothers spoke.
At this moment, the youngest younger brother next to him suddenly spoke. "Big brother is right. The route of the fleet is out of order. We are returning to the original route."
I heard that everyone looked at him.
"Don't talk, how did you find out?"
The younger brother pointed to the porthole, and everyone looked at it. I saw a simple graffiti on the porthole, and I painted a series of circles, from small to large. At the moment, there is a planet outside the window, just fitting it to the middle. On the circle.
When I saw it, everyone’s face changed.
Living in a house, everyone has no secrets. Some time ago, a star appeared in the fleet's field of vision. The younger brother used a brush to outline the outline of the planet on the porthole every day. The circle grew from small to large, and from big to small, every day. They are all changing, representing the distance and distance.
At this moment, the planet coincides with the contours of a few days ago, and everyone understands what this represents.
"I'll ask!"
Upon seeing it, the big brother couldn’t sit still, and everyone was rushing to follow.
The group hurried through the cabins in the second half of the crowd like a refugee camp. They went to the cabin passage in the middle section and found several soldiers on board, reflecting the situation.
"You said that there was a problem with the route?" A soldier licked his ear and was impatient: "This is not something you should worry about, and you are worried about it."
"This is true, I can show you evidence, I..."
"I have done it." The soldier waved his hand. "The guide ship has a star map. If it deviates from the route, it will be adjusted immediately. You will go back and wait."
Big brother helpless, had to go back with a group of brothers to wait.
However, after three consecutive days, they stared at the graffiti on the porthole and found that the fleet was still returning to the road, and there was no adjustment at all.
Big Brother is in contact with the friend who revealed the inside story every day. He was contacted on the third day, but the opposite answer made him feel a little cold.
"You said that you have deviated from the route? No, no, no, no, our star map shows that the route is completely correct... Didn't meet the supply planet I said? Oh, this is a long-distance observation error, the star map is not too accurate, We have already reported to it, the above has updated our star map, now it is no problem... What graffiti record? Hey, you may have made a mistake, it is a new planet with the updated star map mark, not The one I have seen before, anyway, the navigator on my side shows that the route has been moving forward."
Cold face turned off the communicator, and the older brother was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he seemed to make up his mind and said: "Do you believe me, or believe in the people above?"
Many brothers looked at each other and hesitated.
"What do you want to do?" The younger brother couldn't help but ask.
"My intuition is getting stronger and stronger. There must be problems in it. Maybe the people above are sending us into the fire pit." Brother suppressed the voice. "I don't want to stay on the spaceship. I am going to steal supplies and rescue capsules. We are Run by yourself."
"Are you crazy?!"
Some people are ashamed, "This is to find death, the fleet will certainly take us back. Even if we succeed, the stolen goods will be consumed sooner or later, no food, no fuel, what should I do when I get there? And do you have a star map? Don't know the star map, how do you run?"
"Star map and rescue capsule permissions, I can get it from my friends. As for the supplies... The medium-sized rescue capsule has complete facilities. As long as you arrive at that planet, you can use your own collector to replenish the fuel inventory, enough for us to use a lot. Years. Solving food problems requires greenhouse incubators, crop seeds, and nutrient paste makers. These things can be found on board, and during the cultivation of crops, we can sleep in the freezer." Big brother whispered: "Three days." I have been thinking about the way back, this is not the decision I made when I patted my head."
The crowd still shook their heads again and again.
A large force that broke away from the tribe to establish a new home, how many people ran to the unknown universe to survive?
Just think about it, I think this plan is crazy!
"I am going with you." At this time, the younger stood up and shrugged. "Big brother, you know me. I don't like to be bound by the rules. Since I left my home, I don't plan to continue with that big." The steady life of the stream, the universe is so big, I want to go and see for myself. You say that I like to take risks, and I want to be stimulating. In short, I am one."
Big Brother nodded and looked at other brothers. "I know that everyone has concerns. The universe is too big. Only a few of us will touch the loneliness and fear in the deepest part of the soul. Perhaps it turns out that I am wrong. But I don't want to wait passively. I don't force everyone to go with me."
The second child hesitated for a while, and turned his heart and said: "Big brother, I am also with you, you are my most trusted person, I believe in your judgment."
It’s said that more people are shaking.
Someone has no choice but to shake his head. "Oh, forget it, let's go. From the moment I leave my home, I will be dead when I die. I can be a little more risky. We are brothers, we can't separate."
These brothers grew up together and have long been accustomed to holding a group. After some entanglement, everyone finally agreed to the big brother's plan. The magic is that after making up your mind, the previous hesitation and uneasiness disappeared and turned into unparalleled excitement and expectation.
"Big brother, I have a proposal, we should at least bring a woman."
When the words came out, everyone laughed, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and the room was filled with happy air.
"That's right, not only with one, we should bring a few more."
"Haha, maybe we will become a wandering civilization."
......
In the following days, the brothers took the initiative to use their personal connections and quietly prepared. Because the immigration spacecraft carries a lot of daily necessities, everything that everyone needs can be found on board. The only problem is how to get it.
With courage, money, and connections, plus a little luck, everyone has raised most of the required supplies in various ways and completed the stepping.
Soon after the start of the day, the progress was beyond the imagination. According to the information obtained by the stepping point, everyone sneaked into the rescue hat, set foot on a medium-sized rescue capsule, closed the smart core, and switched to the manual control mode.
Big Brother's palm stopped above the launch button and was not pressed.
"Is it clear, as long as the button is pressed, there is no turning back. If we are caught back, we will be treated as prisoners."
"Now there is not much difference between the prisoners and the prisoners. The above people look at us more like a group of hard work." The younger brother smiled freely. "But it changed its name, called the population resources. I have long wanted to get rid of this identity." ""
"Nonsense." Big Brother shook his head and laughed, and took the button hard.
laugh
The rescue capsule suddenly fell and shot into the universe.
Out of the spaceship, everyone turned their heads and looked out of the porthole, but suddenly stopped.
They saw that other spaceships in the immigration fleet also shot the sparse lavatory rescue capsules, like scattered fires.
......
I have blinked in the middle of the month.
On the other side of the Kunde territory, the core fleet of the Kunde command headquarters jumped out of the star gate, and then turned around to recover the retreating star gate.
"Well, we arrived at the target area. According to the last order, all surviving fleets will meet in this area."
In the command, the top Kunde people gathered to see the news sent back by other troops before the last time they disconnected the network.
"The scorched earth force sent a report, and the secluded energy has been successfully detonated. The plan has been implemented... Other fleets have reported that they are withdrawing from the direction we have designated, and the situation is good."
The leaders of the Kunde people breathed a sigh of relief.
See you, the spirit of everyone is a little better.
The situation is finally getting back on track.
Because of the fear of information leakage, the command did not dare to maintain a long-lasting link, so he gave up the real-time communication, and at the same time did not dare to pass the order normally, fearing that it would be intercepted by the enemy, they would all be changed to a special code.
However, before the crowds breathed, the radar suddenly sounded an alarm!
"Attention, note that an unknown large fleet is found ahead!"
The crowd suddenly stunned.
"How come you will encounter the fleet here! Is there an ambush?!"
"Look at it, is it an enemy?!"
Many high-level officials rushed to convey the order, only a few seconds later, the captain sent a report.
"Leaders, we have confirmed that the other party is not an enemy, but our fleet."
It was said that many high-rises suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt almost scared of heart disease.
"Scared me, it turned out to be my own."
"It should be that the troops that received the command convergence arrived ahead of schedule, and the speed was even faster than ours."
At this moment, the captain spoke again, and the tone became extremely strange:
"You misunderstood, the other party is not our armed fleet, but the immigration fleet that was sent out long ago. I don't know why, they all ran back!"
The voice fell and the audience became dead.
All the high-level squatters in the room took a second and suddenly became confused!
