Chapter 389: The Old Man
"Sir......?" Adjutant had never seen Admiral Elk so out of shape, and the battle-hardened veteran remained calm in the face of an enemy fleet twice his own, directing his ships to repel the enemy with his elusive attacks. But now, in the eyes of the adjutant, this respected old chief was as excited as an ordinary person, and there was a strange nostalgia and longing in his expression, and even his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist.
"Sir!" The adjutant who was waiting for Admiral Elke's final order was surprised, but still remembered his duty, and reminded him stubbornly: "...... Is an order to attack given? ”
"Attack?" Admiral Elk muttered a repeat, then shook his head abruptly, "Attack? Are you kidding! Immediately stop all vigilance and tell Forward Base 7 not to make any unauthorized attacks! ”
"But sir, the other party ......." The adjutant was stunned, the identity of the other party had not yet been determined, and Admiral Elk actually gave such an order, which was simply ....... If the other party is a fake earthling, the consequences of once the 7th advance base relaxes its vigilance is unimaginable. As a veteran, how could Admiral Elk be so confused? Wars in the universe are completely different from previous ground wars, and wars are often won or lost in an instant.
"Nothing, carry out the order!" Admiral Elk waved his hand undoubtedly, and then said: "Don't doubt the identity of the other party, I know them, they are indeed our earthlings, and they are the relatives who have returned...... Tell Lynch not to attack without permission, send escort ships to guide the other party into the Oort Nebula to the Pluto base, and leave nothing else to worry about. ”
With that, Admiral Elk waved his hand at the adjutant, who saluted and left despite his doubts. Wait for the adjutant to leave. Admiral Elk picked up a special telecommunications device with the Earth side, and soon found the person he was looking for through the special network.
"Hello, I'm Elk, disturbing your rest...... Yes, there's news, a piece of good news that has to be told to you...... Teacher Luo and Director Su are back ....... ”
With a slightly trembling voice. Elk said to the messenger, his eyes blurred with tears and his voice choked up as he spoke.
The Oort Nebula and the Homeland spacecraft successfully connected to the Pluto base system, and at the same time transmitted their images to the Forward Base 7 and the Pluto base. There was no difficulty for Su Yichen to do this, after all, as the temporary candidate, he was still the only real authority of the Pluto base system, and since he left, the Pluto base system was only carrying out the orders he had left behind. Including the current technicians in the Pluto base system duty room, they only temporarily took over the authority through the assistance of the base.
What's more, the Homeland spacecraft is also a product of the Rand civilization, and theoretically the Homeland spacecraft can communicate synchronously with the Pluto base system, but because the original brain system was disassembled by Galen for other purposes, but as a replacement, Su Li still didn't spend much effort to contact the Pluto base system.
Although this is a bit reckless, it is necessary for Su Yichen and them. Because when contacting the No. 7 forward base, Su Li suddenly found that the No. 7 forward base was already on guard and preparing for an attack, if she couldn't prove her identity for a while. Advance Base 7 will attack the Homeland.
This result is something that Su Yichen and they don't want to see, they are wanderers returning home. It's like a homeless child who has returned to his mother's arms, how can he have a fight with his relatives for this reason when he first came to the house? With the ability of the Homeland spaceship, the attack on the No. 7 forward base should not cause any damage, but in order to avoid accidents, Su Yichen immediately issued an order to take over the Pluto base system and control the No. 7 forward base system after learning of this situation.
According to Su Yichen's thoughts, he planned to slowly explain their identities after doing this. If necessary, even the entire system is taken over to paralyze it. But who would have thought that he had just finished doing it, and he just transmitted the image over, and before he could finish explaining, the other party's vigilant posture was completely released. They even took the initiative to send a message saying that they would send escort ships to guide them into the Oort Nebula and then to the Pluto base.
When he heard this reply, Su Yichen was slightly stunned, and Luo Yan and the others also showed puzzled expressions, could it be because their images had been confirmed by the other party? But if their identities have been confirmed, why didn't they directly greet them? Instead, just send an escort ship to guide them into the solar system like a guest on the other side.
But in any case, the other party's attitude made everyone on the Homeland spacecraft breathe a sigh of relief, it would be best not to misunderstand, not to mention that the first stop next will be to the Pluto base, and there will be no problem when they arrive at the Pluto base with the confirmation of the base system. Soon after, an escort ship took off from Forward Base 7 and began to guide them towards the interior of the Oort Nebula, the core of the solar system.
"Colonel, you won't have a problem doing this, will you? In case the other party ....... At the command headquarters of Forward Base 7, the fleet commander asked Lynch with a slight frown.
In fact, not only the fleet commander was puzzled, but even the supreme commander of the base, Lynch, was puzzled. If it weren't for the highly respected Admiral Elk who gave the order, he would have thought that the person who gave the order was insane. But as a soldier, a junior who had great respect for Admiral Elk, he still carried out this order. And when I watched the huge spaceship follow the escort ship into the curvature state with great ease, heading towards the depths of the solar system, my heart was even more strange.
"Admiral Elk's orders, with his old man's wisdom and judgment, should not be a problem, we must trust our superiors." Lynch said this, this is not only to comfort the other party, but also to comfort himself, looking at the space that has lost the trace of the spaceship, Lynch can't help but be a little distracted. Is the other party really an earthling? The Homeland spaceship, does the Earth civilization really have this spaceship? How had he never heard of it? Even the base's brain system couldn't find the origin of this spaceship, how could Admiral Elk be so sure of their identity, and even ask the base to send an escort ship to guide them?
These are questions that Lynch can't answer, and maybe they'll be explained when he has the opportunity to meet the admiral himself. At this time, the Homeland spacecraft had followed the escort ship into a state of curvature and headed towards the depths of the solar system. The Homeland spacecraft, which followed the escort ship, sailed in curvature with great ease, and no matter how fast the escort ship accelerated, it could keep a distance, and even this distance was almost half a cent.
"I didn't expect our civilization to really enter the second-level cosmic civilization." Kevin. Adams paid attention to the flight status of the escort ship in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. At the time of their departure, the Earth civilization was already a first-class cosmic civilization, although it possessed curvature technology. But the technology at that time was not very perfect, just like when they returned with the spaceship of the Blue Star Civilization, the curvature flight of the Pioneer spacecraft was still very different from the technology of the Blue Star Civilization. And now, the curvature technology of the earth's civilization has made great progress, and judging from the situation of that escort ship alone, it has almost reached the level of the Blue Star civilization back then.
"It's not just a second-level cosmic civilization, I think this kind of technology is almost the starting point of a third-level cosmic civilization." As a Blue Star person of the third-level cosmic civilization back then, Tang Le was the most qualified to evaluate, and he corrected Kevin. Adams' words. At the same time, he sighed.
In his words, Tang Le had incomparable envy, it only took more than 400 years for the Earth civilization to become a second-level cosmic civilization, and now there are signs of progress towards a third-level cosmic civilization...... No! To be precise, the earth civilization should have half a foot into the ranks of the third-level cosmic civilization, and it is only time to become a third-level cosmic civilization.
In addition to envy, Tang Le was proud of his civilization. The Blue Star Civilization has finally stepped into the ranks of the Middle Universe Civilization, which is an extremely exciting and proud thing for the Blue Star people. You must know that in the galaxy, it is rare for a civilization to become a medium cosmic civilization. And the Blue Star Civilization has been at the forefront of many civilizations from the time of its overall history to the time it entered the middle cosmic civilization. Maybe in a few thousand years, maybe even longer, they could even become the higher cosmic civilizations of the galaxy, and become one of those at the top of the pyramid.
The journey from the Oort Nebula into the inner solar system is a long distance for ordinary flight, and not too long for curvature flight. However, due to the complex topography inside the Oort Nebula. There are some restrictions on the curvature of flight, coupled with the fact that the earth civilization has modified many areas of the Oort Nebula in the past 200 years to enhance the difficulty of flying in curvature, so it is the most suitable way to enter the solar system with the most convenient and fast escort ship guidance, and the earth civilization has long opened up the safest passage inside the nebula. This is also a special way for Earth civilization to protect the solar system and the earth.
Following the escort ship's guidance, the Homeland spacecraft passed through the Oort Nebula and arrived at the inner edge of the solar system, the airspace near Pluto.
"The Homeland spaceship, I will ...... according to the orders of my superiors." The ship's pilot had just connected to the Homeland, and before he could finish his sentence, another communication interjected.
"This is the Pluto base, this is the Pluto base, welcome to your arrival, the base command invites the Homeland spacecraft to dock directly at the Pluto base airport, please follow the escort ship to guide into the ......."
The escort pilot's expression became particularly strange, and it was customary to let the Homeland spacecraft stay in the nearby airspace, and then send a representative to follow him to the space city near the base for final identification. After all these steps are completed, the superior will issue additional orders. But he never expected that the Pluto Base Command would directly invite the Homeland spacecraft to land at the Pluto Base Airport, and this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet or the president, prime minister, speaker of the Earth Federation and other senior officials.
With great doubts in their hearts, the escort ship adjusted its course and headed towards the base of Pluto. And on the Homeland spacecraft, Su Yichen and the others looked at Pluto, which was gradually approaching, and had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
"This is the Pluto base? What a great base. It was the first time he had entered the inner region of the solar system, and it was also the first time he had seen the base of Pluto, and when he saw this small terrestrial planet that was not very conspicuous in the universe but had a very heavy position in the solar system, he couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, near the Pluto base, there are several large space city buildings, which are all ancillary facilities of the Pluto base, and they are more complete and solid than in the early years, and together with the entire Pluto base, they form the core structure of this spacespace.
Half an hour later, the Homeland spacecraft entered the airport of the Pluto base very smoothly, this airport was built later by the earth civilization, because with the increasing importance of the Pluto base, the airport facilities inside the base have long been unable to meet the demand, so the earth civilization has carried out the airport transformation in the rest of the base periphery, so that there is now a huge airport that can berth a whole huge fleet.
The current structure of the entire Pluto base is centered on the original base, which is Ike's legacy base, and then expanded towards the periphery. The current base is more than three times larger than the original base, and with the space city and other settings, the entire base is no longer what Su Yichen and the others were when they left, but when they saw the tall spires and pyramids at the core of the base, Su Yichen and the others still recalled the scene when they first landed on the Pluto base.
More than 400 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and even the Pluto base is the same. When I returned to my own civilization, I was extremely excited, but I also had some indelible sadness. Are those friends, family members, and familiar comrades still there? Although I tried to restrain myself from thinking like that, I still inexplicably emerged from the depths of my heart.
The Homeland spacecraft is docked at the designated location, and the next step should be to get off the ship and enter the base, meet with the people at the base, and confirm their identities at the same time. Su Yichen made the following arrangements, he and Luo Yan went down to meet each other first, as for the others, they continued to stay on the spaceship for the time being, and then entered the base after their identities were fully confirmed.
Su Yichen doesn't have to think about the safety civilization, you must know that this is the Pluto base, and it is impossible for him to be harmed here with the authority of the base, not to mention that he and Luo Yan will also be wearing the spacesuits of the Rand civilization, and ordinary weapons will not bring danger to them.
Walking through the passage and opening the hatch, when they came to the ground of the base one after the other, and stepped on the metal floor of the base, they saw several people waiting not far from them, all wearing military uniforms, somewhat similar to the way they had been before they left, but a little different. After all, so many years have passed, and it is normal for the style of military uniforms to change, the leader among these people is an old man, who seems to have a high rank and status, Su Yichen guessed the identity of this old man, and walked towards them with Luo Yan, but who would want to wait until he just walked a few meters away from those people, the old man suddenly took a few steps forward, looking at Su Yichen and his wife very excitedly.
"You ......." As soon as Su Yichen asked a word, he was stunned then, because the old general actually bowed deeply towards them.
"...... are you?" Su Yichen and his wife were surprised at the same time.
"Teacher Luo, Director Su, you are back, I am Elke, I am your student Elke, teacher!" Admiral Elk burst into tears, with a smile on his face. (To be continued......)
