"Captain, have a cup of hot tea. ”

Taking the teacup handed by his assistant, the captain of the reconnaissance ship took a sip lightly, feeling the bitterness of the explosion on the tip of his tongue, and feeling that his spirit was much better in an instant.

stared at the screen for a long time, even if there was some cultivation on his body, he felt a little unbearable.

"Captain, if you go and rest, I'll keep an eye on you. The assistant said, "I can't bear it like this." ”

The latter shook his head, not at all getting up and leaving.

"I can't rest. ”

It's like replying, and it's like telling yourself.

The assistant was silent.

The reconnaissance ship they piloted was the first real starship of mankind.

Among them, only the captain himself is a veteran astronaut.

More than ninety percent of their improvised crew members are stepping into space for the first time, and they have no relevant experience at all, and it is basically impossible to respond well if they encounter an emergency.

In fact, before that, they didn't know each other.

"You also volunteered, didn't you?" asked the captain suddenly.

"Uh...... Yes. The assistant was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, we all came voluntarily. The captain sighed suddenly, "Then you should know that there is very little hope that we will be able to return alive, as long as we can complete the reconnaissance mission, nothing else matters, let alone be tired." ”

"But ......," the latter opened his mouth, trying to say something but not saying it.

Of course he knew that in his heart.

But who doesn't have some hope in their hearts.

The best of both worlds is naturally the best.

We're going to win this war. He could only pray silently in his heart.

"Speaking of which, I heard that you are a rune talent with great prospects, why did you think of applying to scout the fleet?" the captain suddenly asked curiously.

"Me?"

The assistant came back to his senses, and when he heard this question, he suddenly seemed to fall into some kind of memory.

"I was born into an ordinary family, and my parents were ordinary people, and they opened a restaurant and were busy until late every day. During my schooling, it was for me to study, and after I worked, it was for me to save money to buy a house, get married, have children, and after my child was born, they wanted to earn more money so that I could bear less burden......"

As he spoke, a mist gradually filled his eyes.

"They have worked hard all their lives, and the conditions at home have gradually improved, especially after I worked, because I have some talent in runes, I want them to close the shop and enjoy life...... This is what they deserve. ”

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly became low, "However, the invasion happened without warning, they were just walking on the road as usual, why?" Si Svenwen's assistant, who originally looked like a wounded lion, was now like a wounded lion, with clenched teeth and a roar in his voice, "Those people are high up, wantonly destroying and killing our homeland, maybe just a casual blow, but they separated me from my beloved parents!"

"They're damned!"

The assistant gritted his teeth and said word by word, "It's not for others, I just want to use my useful body to do my part to kill them." ”

I see.

The captain sighed silently in his heart.

No one knows which one will come first, the accident or tomorrow.

Fate is really impermanent.

It's like a human being, who is still the master of this planet one moment, but the next moment, is facing the crisis of extinction.

"But don't you think that you can play a greater role in research?" asked the captain curiously.

"Somebody has to do something, right? ”

The captain was silent for a moment, and finally said nothing.

He thought of himself.

Yes, there are some things, even if they are sent to death, someone has to do it.

Otherwise, there is really no hope for the future of the planet.

Fortunately, among human beings, no matter at any time, there is always a group of people who stand up and forget about death.

For a moment, the main control room was quiet, and only a slight sound of instruments could be heard.

Speaking of which, the detection instrument on the reconnaissance ship is not the highest scientific and technological achievement of mankind, but a rune detector that has only been developed for a short time.

At the beginning, it was suggested that some equipment such as photoelectric telescopes and ultra-long-range radars should be installed, but a little thought about it showed that it was completely unfeasible.

The enemy facing mankind today is not simply following the flow of science and technology, but the development route of runes and supplemented by technology.

If the opponent's warship has the ability of rune stealth, those technological detection methods may be useless, in that case, it will be a complete disaster for a reconnaissance ship.

Think about it, what will happen when your own ship touches the vicinity of the other party, but you haven't noticed the existence of the other party?

You can't escape.

Just like the previous stealth fighters, ordinary radars can't detect them at all, even if they fly in front of them, the radar can't lock on, and they can only be beaten passively.

Of course, they didn't know that this rune detector was not developed by the Earth side alone, but was a product from the Immortal River Territory Technical Committee, and the detection range and quality were still considerable.

Otherwise, if a reconnaissance ship can't even have the most important eyes, there will be no need for reconnaissance.

The speed of the reconnaissance ship was not fast, and it took more than ten days to fly slowly to the vicinity of Saturn.

As it approaches the outer solar system, the light becomes extremely dim, and the distant fireballs do not seem to bring in enough light and heat, like a candle that will go out at any moment.

The surrounding starry sky environment is also relatively complex, with more than 80 large and small moons of Saturn, not to mention Saturn's rings composed of countless rubble.

Perhaps on Earth, Saturn's rings are as thin as a piece of paper, but only when I got closer did I know that this ring is extremely 'thick'.

It's just that the more gravel is distributed further down the middle, and the less gravel is distributed outward.

"Look at Saturn's rings, this may be the first time humans have seen them up close, but it's not so beautiful when you look closer. After a while, the two were also attracted by the rings of Saturn outside, and the captain first broke the silence and said, "I just don't know, will I have the opportunity to see ...... in the future."

He shook his head, and was about to withdraw his gaze when the entire reconnaissance ship suddenly went viral.

In the main control room, on the screen showing the detection screen, a bright red dot is approaching at a rapid pace.

"Enemy attack!"

The captain immediately realized that he had been exposed to the other party's eyes before he even knew it. Moreover, the other party also chased after him directly.

Although such a scene had been expected for a long time, when it actually came, everyone felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

While the others were still in shock, the captain quickly calmed down and calmly issued orders.

"The communication room, report the location to the Earth. ”

"Detection chamber, determine the number of opponents, speed. ”

"We, full speed ahead, rush into the rings of Saturn!"
