Ivan, this is a very common name, men with this name abound among the Eastern European ethnic groups of the earth civilization, Su Zhe had two Ivan in his classmates when he was in middle school in Europe, in order to distinguish them, the classmates specially called them "Big Ivan" and "Little Ivan".

However, in the entire earth civilization, there is only one person with the title of starry sky in front of Ivan's name, and this person is Ivan, the legendary Russian cosmonaut of the time, the commander of the detachment of the space fleet of the Earth Federal Government, and the second supreme commander of the space fleet.

This is a figure who has left a strong mark on the history of Earth's civilization, and is also a legendary astronaut, soldier and hero. Su Zhe had read about Ivan in history textbooks, as well as photos of him in a spacesuit and a marshal's uniform.

This man, who is not tall and even a little short compared to ordinary people, is the idol of countless soldiers, and these soldiers also include Su Zhe's good friend Tom.

Ivan's active historical era is the same era as Su Yichen and his wife, and he also directly experienced the first and second wars between the Earth civilization and the Gaia civilization. In the second war, Ivan, who had been promoted to the supreme commander of the Space Fleet, laid the foundation for the Earth civilization to win the war with his excellent command. But at the end of the Second Earth Civilization and Gaia Civilization War, and the earthlings who won the war were rejoicing, Ivan quietly withdrew from the military circles, and at first served as the military adviser to the Federal President in the Federal Government, but not long after, Ivan resigned from this position, and then completely faded out of the military and political circles.

Few people know about Ivan's later life, and Su Zhe certainly won't know what Ivan will live after retirement. Including the situation of his family. But he never thought that his lover, Anfiya, was actually the descendant of the once famous Starry Sky Ivan, and Su Zhe was extremely emotional.

The world is indeed too small, if Su Zhe hadn't learned about his parents from Su Li and Gao Jian before. At this moment, he may be stunned, but now, although the consternation in Su Zhe's heart is still there, it is only faint, and he is more emotional about the coincidence arranged by fate.

With the progress of the earth's civilization, the development of medical treatment and the overcoming of various diseases, human life has also been greatly extended, and now the average life of ordinary people has exceeded 360 years old without encountering accidents, and there are not a few people who live longer. It's like Su Zhe's parents, Gao Jian, and Kevin. Adams also had Luo Yan's students, Admiral Elk and Marshal Hu Gang, among others. But with the exception of Elk and Hu Gang, the rest of the people's experiences are more complicated, and the years they have lived are in some ways different.

But from this point of view, as a figure of the earth civilization before the cosmic civilization, it is normal for Ivan to live until modern times, but after retirement, Ivan lives an extremely low-key life, and he returns to the place where he grew up to live, just like a very ordinary old man. Who knew that he was a man who had once galloped through the storm?

This is the same as General Erke and Marshal Hu Gang. After retiring, these veterans have chosen to completely withdraw from the eyes of the world and return to the peaceful life of their former homes, perhaps fighting on the battlefield, only this ordinary pastoral life can make them feel peaceful.

"Your great-grandfather was an amazing man." Su Zhe looked at Ivan who looked like an ordinary old man in the photo and said.

"That's just the outside world's evaluation of him, in my eyes he is just a kind old man, an ordinary old man." Looking at the photos. Anfia replied very blandly, but she could see that there was a deep attachment and lingering sadness in her eyes, and Su Zhe understood what she was thinking, as she said, to her great-grandfather was just her own relative. An old man who has accompanied him since he was a child, can tell many stories, and loves himself. Instead of the cold descriptions and praises of the history books.

Su Zhe may not have this feeling anymore, but now he also has it. The same is true of their own parents, no matter how great they are in Su Li or Gao Jian, or how great they are in the mouth of those who know their deeds, but parents are parents, their unique relatives, and they are irreplaceable everything.

Gently holding Anfiya in his arms, Su Zhe just rested her head on his shoulder, but didn't say anything more. But at this time, Anfiya felt in her heart that Su Zhe understood her, he understood himself, which made her heart feel moved and sweet.

At Anfiya's house, Su Zhe and the others stayed for nearly a week, living a plain and warm life like ordinary people in the town. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, although Su Zhe and Anfiya were reluctant to be here, they still had to go back to where they should go and continue to do what they were supposed to do.

The enthusiastic old grandmother prepared the most sumptuous dinner for them, and looked at them with a smile, but did not say anything else to save them. The old grandmother knew that when the eaglet grew up, its future was not to be attached to the eagle, but to soar in the sky, and maybe when the eaglet was old, it would return to the warm nest for the rest of its life, but this would definitely not be now. The old grandmother just wanted to see the lovers really come together sooner, and when that time came, she would send them her most precious blessings from the bottom of her heart.

"Let's go!"

When they were about to get on the flying car, Anfiya and Su Zhe looked back at the town again, and then boarded the flying car together. The flying car quickly took off and headed in the direction of the capital, and when she returned to the capital, Anfia would go to a new department to take on a new position, and Su Zhe would also have to make a series of preparations before working in the laboratory. However, they have already agreed that they will come back again in a year at most, and when that time comes, Su Zhe will personally put on a ring for Anfiya here and enter the palace of marriage.

When Su Zhe and the others returned to the capital, Su Li and Gao Jian had just arrived at the permanent base near the artificial wormhole, which was codenamed "Eternity" and was therefore also called the Eternal Base.

In order to explore the Andromeda Galaxy, the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization have mobilized huge resources and done a lot of work, just from the name of the base, it can be seen that in fact, they intend to build this base as a new artificial life planet, because the main body of the base is built on a terrestrial asteroid.

The asteroid is not large, only slightly larger in size and mass than the Moon. However, it is much more difficult than the construction of a lunar base. You must know that the moon is a satellite of the earth, and the earth is the only living planet in the solar system.

Because of the presence of the sun. The earth will give birth to life, and the sun has also brought many convenient aspects to the construction of the moon base. For example, the cities of the lunar base and the life-sustaining circulation system are indispensable to the role of the sun. The same is true of Mars, which is now colonized and transformed by human beings, although the environment is harsh compared to the earth, the earth civilization has overcome a series of difficulties and achieved success.

But the Eternal Base is different, although it is said to be a small galaxy here, the Sun of this small galaxy is extremely unstable, and for some other reasons, some terrestrial planets near the Sun are not suitable for a base. Coupled with the location of the artificial wormhole and the importance of defense, the site of the base was finally selected on this asteroid.

It is precisely for these reasons that it is difficult to establish a base here, and it is difficult to do it with the power of the earth's civilization. But fortunately, since the entire project is a cooperation between two cosmic civilizations, the high-tech of the Blue Star civilization has overcome these difficulties, and after decades of construction, the entire base has a perfect operational capability.

But Su Li and they came to the airport of the base. It's extremely busy, with quite a few warships coming in and out of the base airport. Also included are a number of transport ships with a large number of installations. According to Gao Jian, this is because of the support forces needed for the defense of the space city on the other side of the artificial wormhole, that is, the space city where the Andromeda galaxy is located, and it seems that the upper echelons of the company have begun to mobilize all resources to defend the space city of the Andromeda galaxy no matter what.

A tall ship has certain privileges in the Eternal Base, when the ship is close to the base and emits a message code that represents it. The base brain guides the spacecraft into the airport, and then docks at the designated berth.

The spaceship approached the berth, the hatch opened, Gao Jian and Su Li walked straight out, and Gao Jian walked in front. Su Li followed, but Gao Jian suddenly stopped as soon as he walked across the trestle, and Su Li behind him looked forward at the same time with Gao Jian's gaze, and saw an acquaintance at a glance.

"Why are you here?" Gao Jian hurriedly walked a few steps, and the other party also took the initiative to greet him, and the two shook hands.

"Can I not come in this situation?" Tang Le's gaze glanced at a battleship not far away that was preparing to leave the port, and said with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Jian nodded silently, this is also true, the exploration project of the Andromeda Galaxy has cost a lot of manpower and material resources of the two civilizations, and it has also pinned on the ambitions of both sides to expand the universe. At this time, what happened on the other side of the Andromeda Galaxy caused a huge change in the entire plan, and a series of uncertainties could even cause the plan to fall short. As a high-level member of the Blue Star Civilization and one of the leaders of the Andromeda Galaxy Exploration Program, how could Tang Le still sit still at this time?

"Hello Su Li, I'm so happy to see you." Tang Le's gaze quickly moved from Gao Jian to Su Li, and nodded to her with a smile. However, judging from the relationship between Tang Le and Su Li, Tang Le is not in a good mood today, you must know that they were on the Pioneer spaceship and the Homeland spaceship back then, and the two of them were living treasures who quarreled with each other forever. And now, Tang Le's smile obviously has a preoccupied look underneath, and you can imagine how much pressure he has.

"What's changing over there?" Gao Jian was keenly aware of this and asked in a low voice.

"We'll talk about it later." Tang Le didn't say much, beckoned Gao Jian and Su Li to get into his car, the car quickly left the airport and headed towards the inner core of the Eternal Base, about half an hour later, the three of them sat in an elegantly decorated office, this office is Tang Le's office in the Eternal Base, and it is also the safest place in the entire base except for the core part of the base.

They were all old friends, and there was no politeness, Tang Le sat down and said bluntly: "The situation over there has indeed changed, just a month ago another war broke out, and this war we suffered great losses. ”

"Big?" Gao Jian asked rhetorically, he didn't like this ambiguous description, and as an intelligence officer, he wanted to know the specific number.

"Nine battleships were damaged in battle, five of them did not survive, the other four were seriously injured, fortunately most of the personnel are still alive ......."

"What!" When he heard this result, Gao Jian was suddenly shocked, nine warships, five losses and four injuries? This is almost equivalent to the total annihilation of a cruising fleet. How long had he been away for such a large-scale engagement? Gao Jian is very clear about the situation of military strength over there, if it is such a big loss, then it doesn't mean that the other party has broken through the defensive circle and directly faced the Space City?

"Thankfully, one of our detachments arrived shortly before the engagement, and the entire line of defense is still in our hands." At this time, Tang Le's next sentence made Gao Jian breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he secretly sweated in his heart, but such a large battle loss was also extremely amazing, so what about the other party's losses?

Seemingly knowing what Gao Jian wanted to know below, Tang Le said: "The other party's losses are not small, if our calculations are correct, the other party should have lost two, and seriously injured one." ”

The calculation is correct, this sentence seems to sound ridiculous in Donle's mouth, how can this kind of thing be described in such words? However, Gao Jian, who had experienced the situation at that time, knew why Tang Le said this, because when they were on the Twin Ring Planet, they carried out a powerful blow to that person, but in the end, they couldn't be sure whether they eliminated the other party.

However, judging from the losses of the other party, such losses can indeed be said to be very large. There were only five people on the other side, and one of them was slightly injured in the first engagement, and now he has directly lost two, plus one seriously injured, then it is equivalent to half of the combat strength.

No wonder the battleships of the Eternal Base are deployed so frequently, and it seems that they are preparing to continue to strengthen the defense capabilities over there to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Because no one knows if the other party will come back next, and whether the number of people who will come again will increase. These are unknowns, and once the worst happens, then the loss of that side is inevitable.

"Is there any other way? I consciously mean that there is nothing but the final solution. ”

"I've recommended the use of high-powered weapons if necessary, if the situation gets worse." Tang Le gritted his teeth and replied, what the high-power weapon he said represented was clear to everyone present, and for a moment there was only the soft sound of Tang Le's hand clenching into a fist in the room.
