Volume I. The Wandering Race Chapter 0023.Funeral
Ship time 3903:246:12:00:00, D04 Academy Ship Teaching Area.
As soon as Chen Xiaoyue got out of class, she was half-dragged by a female classmate and walked out of the classroom.
It has been more than a year since her brother was taken to the research ship, and since Chen Xiaoyue recovered from her injuries in the hospital, she was assigned to study on the D04 academy ship.
Because she had been studying at home all the time, she chose to skip the exam in the promotion exam of the first grade, and was promoted to the third grade without accident.
Her classmate Ji Chuan was reluctant to part with Chen Xiaoyue and chose to skip the exam with her, but she didn't expect to be lucky enough to pass the test! And the two were also placed in the same class.
Now the girl who is pulling her to rush to the cafeteria in a hurry is Ji Chuan.
Ji Chuan's surname is Nangong, which is a rare compound surname, and the first time they met was in the cafeteria of the college.
That day, when Ji Chuan was about to order and eat, the Galaxy on the personal terminal happened to run out, and she was drooling while looking at Chen Xiaoyue, who happened to be at the same table as her. Chen Xiaoyue, who has been friendly to people since childhood, naturally invited the other party, and the two became friends.
Nangong Ji Chuan is a foodie, or the type who can't eat fat, every time she arrives at a meal, she runs the fastest.
"Xiaoyue, let me tell you, yesterday the canteen launched a new dish, which is particularly delicious!" Walking on the road, Ji Chuan began to give Chen Xiaoyue peace up.
Chen Xiaoyue is not keen on the taste of food, for her, being able to fill her stomach is the most important thing, but her friends have worked so hard, and she is not too cold, so she responded with a smile.
The D04 academy ship can be said to be among the best among all the academy ships in the eastern area of the fleet, both the faculty and the hardware facilities for auxiliary teaching are of the first-class level, and the food will naturally not disadvantage the students, not only the canteen is very comfortable, but also the chef's craftsmanship is a must.
It didn't take much time, Chen Xiaoyue and Nangong Ji Chuan had already arrived at their destination, and there were not many people at this time, after all, it was just lunch break, and only Ji Chuan couldn't wait to rush over first.
found a small table for two people by the window on the third floor of the cafeteria, Ji Chuan opened the order button in the center of the table with ease, and several exquisite dishes were projected onto the table, these have already been tried, her index finger kept sliding, skipping one after another, and finally stopped at a certain bells and whistles projection, Chen Xiaoyue looked at it, isn't this just a hodgepodge!
Looking at the price marked on the side, 500 Galaxy points, Chen Xiaoyue suddenly didn't dare to eat.
Nangong Ji Chuan saw Chen Xiaoyue's hesitation, and said with a smile: "This time, I will invite you to eat!" Let's try it. ”
Chen Xiaoyue knew that Ji Chuan's family conditions were very good, and she didn't refuse her kindness, and nodded: "Then I'll invite you next time." ”
After ordering the meal, Chen Xiaoyue observed the students around her boredly, thinking of her brother who had become gentle, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
In Zanghui Town, everyone knew that Chen Xiaoyue's brother suddenly became an alien species and was taken away by the people of the scientific research ship, so after Chen Xiaoyue returned from the hospital, they came to the door to express their concern, and did not alienate her because of Chen Yueyuan's mutation, it was really a group of friendly townspeople, which also cheered up Chen Xiaoyue, who was depressed, and mustered up the courage to go to school at the academy alone.
More than a year has passed, Chen Xiaoyue's personality has gradually become lively, her body has grown a lot, she has also grown long hair, and she has a taste of classical beauty at a young age.
"Xiaoyue Xiaoyue, look!" Nangong Ji Chuan suddenly pointed to the center of the cafeteria, where a huge light curtain appeared at some point.
Chen Xiaoyue looked at her friend's hand, only to find that everyone was looking at the figure on the light curtain intently, and at the same time, her bracelet also vibrated slightly, indicating that she had received new important information.
This is an image broadcast by the whole fleet, Chen Xiaoyue has experienced it once, and generally this kind of broadcast conveys some content related to all citizens, such as the discovery of a new energy star, the replanning of energy distribution at all levels, or the death of a high-ranking member of the exiled fleet when he reaches the upper limit of dormancy, etc.
To be honest, these things are too far away from most citizens, and everyone just listens to the excitement and insights.
Broadcasts throughout the ship can be viewed on individual terminals, and those who do not have terminals can only go to a common projection similar to the center of the cafeteria.
After Chen Xiaoyue finished reading the information on the bracelet, to the effect that there will be a full-ship broadcast later, please pay attention to watching. There was a communal projector in the cafeteria, and she didn't bother to turn on the light curtain on the terminal.
The figure on the light screen is the current commander of the alliance and the captain of the flagship Wu Xunxing, which is known to all those who have studied the first-year course, there are twenty-five councilors in the Galactic Alliance, and all of them take turns to become the chief of the alliance, which is something that must be memorized, and the name of the leader must always be known when living in the exile fleet.
After waiting for a long time, Wu Xunxing finally began to speak:
"In the year 3903 of the exile calendar, the commander of our Xianxing Campaign, Lieutenant General Xu Zhi, is about to pass away......" Wu Xunxing's voice in the projection was slightly low, and he slowly talked about Lieutenant General Xu Zhi's personal resume, "...... Lieutenant General Xu Zhi, who was my mentor and left a dark illness in the Battle of Xianyu more than 3,000 years ago, will wake up from his dormancy this time will be the last day of his life...... We will never forget his contribution to the fleet! Later, we will hold the funeral of Vice Admiral Xu Zhi, all members of the Galactic Fleet, a moment of silence for our heroes! ”
This broadcast lasted for nearly an hour, and it didn't end until Chen Xiaoyue and Ji Chuan had a good meal and it was almost time for class. After watching the radio, almost everyone went to do their own thing, to learn what should be learned, and to farm the field. People who have not personally experienced the Xianyu War do not have much feeling about the passing of Vice Admiral Xu Zhi, and in the eyes of the people at the bottom of the fleet, those who have lived for thousands of years through the dormant device will die when they die, and it will not have any impact on themselves? No one cares too much about that.
The sense of honor of the race has been worn out on the way to exile.
Ship Time 3903:246:14:00:00, the second power room of the flagship Chilling.
Wu Xunxing looked at the old man lying in the silver-white metal box, followed by more than a dozen officers, these were Lieutenant General Xu Zhi's comrades-in-arms and friends who were now just in the awakening period.
In addition to this group of old people, there was also a young man, who was Xu Zhi's grandson Xu Lianlin.
"Uncle Xu, really don't wake up Xu Guowen?" Wu Xunxing, who was standing next to the box, bent down and asked softly, Xu Guowen is the son of Xu Zhi, who entered a dormant state more than twenty years ago, and is the same dazzling task of the Xianyu War as Wu Xunxing.
"What did you tell him to do? Let him sleep in peace, it's not worth waking up for an old man like me...... Anyway, what he was going to say and write it in the suicide note, let him read it for himself when the time comes. Xu Zhi waved his hand, not planning to wake up Xu Guowen because of this trivial matter, after all, every time he woke up from hibernation, there were side effects.
Turning his head, Xu Zhi looked at Xu Lianlin on the other side, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Lianlin, I won't say much else, I can watch you grow up little by little, I have never been in vain in my life...... The only regret is that I couldn't help you get married and have children...... Ahem, ahem! If you have any problems in life, please ask your Uncle Xingxing......"
Looking at the grandfather whose voice was getting weaker and weaker, Xu Lianlin, who had never spoken from beginning to end, bit his lip, he had never seen his father Xu Guowen since he was born and remembered, his father's appearance was only seen in photos, since he was five years old Xu Zhi woke up from hibernation, he has always been taken by this grandfather, and the relationship between the two is like that of father and son.
Xu Zhi once told him that Xu Guowen accidentally had him with Xu Lianlin's mother during his awakening, but because the plan of life dormancy was very strict, Xu Guowen had to fall into a dormant state before he was born, so that Xu Lianlin should not blame his father.
“...... Finally, thank you for coming to see me for the last time, my friends......" Turning his head hard, looking at the old comrades-in-arms with solemn expressions, Xu Zhi pulled up a wry smile, "While I'm still a little conscious...... Put me in space...... Let me see our fleet ......"
The lid of the coffin closed slowly, as an alloy box for burial, the air inside could provide about an hour of survival time, and the old man might not be able to use it up at all before he died......
"Huh!" There was no one to command, and everyone present raised their right hands almost simultaneously and saluted the old man who had made great achievements. Maybe soon, like this old comrade-in-arms, he will lie quietly in the cold burial box, watching the dark space die.
"Snort~", the projectile channel of the second power room opened, the burial box automatically slid into the ejection port, and as soon as the hatch opened, it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.
Through the transparent observation window, looking at the silver box in the distance, an inexplicable desolation swept over, maybe no one present could survive until the fleet found a new planet, and the senior personnel of their group of fleets knew that the energy stored by the entire fleet was on the verge of the warning line, and once the energy storage fell off the line, the entire fleet would be forced to enter the era of energy distribution.
All energy is divided by the highest terminal agreement, and any unnecessary energy expenditure will be discarded, even the daily food of the human race will be uniformly given until a new energy star is found.
After a long time, when the trace of the burial box was lost in sight, everyone put down their slightly sour arms, and looked at each other without a word, only sighing.
"Okay, let's all go back and rest, Lianlin, you can also go back to the Upenetelo, if you have any questions, contact me with your personal terminal." Wu Xunxing said, taking the lead in walking towards the hatch of the second power room, and suddenly, a translucent screen appeared in mid-air, flashing with a dazzling red light.
"Attention! Note! Received beacon information from a distance of 77 degrees 424 units on the right chord of the course! Information Level Extra! Information Level Extra! Please read it now, Captain! ”
Wu Xunxing looked stunned, tremblingly clicked on the transmitted file, which was two audios, and hurriedly opened one of them:
"This is the telecon ship Hongyun! Discover a habitable planet! Discover a habitable planet!! The voice in the audio was very excited, "It's about 426715 kilometers in diameter!" We're moving closer to it, into synchronous orbit, and the follow-up information will be stored in the beacon! ”
Discover a new planet!
A huge surprise hammered into the hearts of those present, and even an old officer sat on the ground with his legs and feet weak, but his face was ruddy.
Click on the second audio clip:
"There are signs of life on the planet! There is material in the geosynchronous orbit that is suspected to be a satellite...... That's an eyeball!! There was a flurry of panic in the audio, "...... The eyeballs don't seem to notice us! To be on the safe side, we didn't go any closer to it, and for the time being, we guessed that it was a space exploration tool for intelligent beings on this planet, but we didn't observe any information coming from it......"
"All the personnel above the school level who are on duty on the dragon ship! Assemble in the chamber! Wu Xunxing came back to his senses from the excitement, forcibly calmed himself down, and began to issue orders.
Next, it will be a critical moment in whether the Galactic Exile Fleet can survive for a long time!
