The night view of the Tokai River Beach is beautiful.

Looking across the river, you can see the neon of the city, reflected in the river, as if two gorgeous cities are spliced together.

Fang Yuan took Han Youwei's hand and walked on the beach.

The two of them clasped their fingers together, but their palms were not attached to each other, because they would sweat if they were attached.

In Fang Yuan's opinion, since high school, they have known each other for more than ten years.

If you have only known each other for ten years, it may not be nothing, but they were born and died together, supported each other, and walked all the way on the battlefield, and the feelings and friendship between each other are difficult to compare with the experience of ordinary people.

It's just that in Han Youwei's memory, it is not only ten years, but even longer from when she was a child.

After becoming a member of the Dragon Team, they were more like shadows of each other, as if it had become a habit, and they never thought about what would happen in the future.

Han Youwei has been silently following behind, never making any requests.

Sometimes, Fang Yuan would even ignore her presence.

It's just that when I calm down and think about it, I know in my heart how important she is.

"Let's write the application. Although there are multiple steps in the military marriage, the application is handed in, and the procedure can be completed quickly. Fang Yuan suddenly opened his mouth to say this.

Han Youwei was stunned for a moment, her eyes were empty.

Fang Yuan found that she was not leaving, and when he looked back at her, he saw the expression on her face, which was a little strange.

There was a hint of joy in that look, but only a hint, and the rest was more hesitation, entanglement, sadness and fear.

"What's wrong? Is it too bland? Fang Yuan asked strangely.

"No, I'm afraid ......" Han Youwei stopped when she wanted to speak.

"What is there to be afraid of? Can it be scarier than the Cleanser civilization? Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"If I write an application, are you going to keep me at home? I can't go on missions with you in the future. Han Youwei raised her head, her eyes full of nervousness.

She thinks a little further and thinks a little more.

Fang Yuan hadn't thought about this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, do what you like." ”

"But...... It's not a matter of two people, it's a matter of two families......" Han Youwei lowered her head.

"You don't want to?"

"Not ......"

"That's fine, why do you want to do so much? The fate of civilization is still in our hands, and if we really think so much, we will not have to live a long time. Fang Yuan nodded her forehead, then took her hand and ran on the beach.

……

The next day.

The Supreme Council of Mankind, the Super Technology Laboratory, the Planetary Defense Staff and other departments held a joint meeting to discuss the work of the Zro Star Source Mine in the Constellation Shield and the Combined Fleet of Photosynthetic Civilizations.

"The Zro Constellation Mine is an area that we don't have on our star map. With such an important area, it is true that star maps will not be arbitrarily given to other civilizations......"

Lang Xiaonian stood in the 3D holographic star map and began to analyze the Zro star source mining area of the Shield constellation: "The star map of this part of the area was given to us by the photosynthetic civilization three days ago.

"While obtaining the star map, the photosynthetic civilization also informed us that we need to participate in the battle of the Zro star source mine in the constellation Shield in the form of a combined fleet.

"According to known intelligence, the Zro Constellation Mine is located at the beginning of the spiral arm of the Constellation Shield, near the galactic core.

And as the spiral arm of the shield constellation extends outward, the density of Zro sources will slowly decrease.

"The spiral arm of the constellation Shield actually has a lot of stars at the end, and it's very dense.

"Of course, this density is relative, and the distance between stars is still very distant in terms of light years, but it is greater than the density of stars around our solar system.

"Judging from the density of Zro sources, there is a possibility that the closer the galaxy is to the galactic center, the more likely it is that there will be Zro sources.

"Yes, the next most likely speculation is that the near-galactic core of each spiral arm may be a dense area of Zro star sources.

"It's just that we don't have a star map of those star fields.

"The photosynthetic civilization only gave us the star map of the Zro star source mining area in the constellation Shield.

"Judging from the star map, there are about 1 billion stars in the Zro source mining area of the constellation Shield, but the probability of Zro sources appearing in each star system is less than 1 in 10,000.

In other words, there are about 100,000 light star systems in the Zro source mine of the constellation Shield.

"According to the information provided by the photosynthetic civilization, not every star system with Zro star source is suitable for mining.

"Therefore, there are only about 30,000 galaxies at the beginning of the Shield spiral arm that are suitable for mining Zro sources.

"Let's make another inference that the Milky Way has four main spiral arms, that is, there are about 120,000 star systems in the Milky Way, which is a mineable area for Zro sources.

"Yes, what the higher civilizations are competing for in the galaxy is actually these 120,000 star systems.

"Of course, among these 120,000 star systems, there are also hierarchical distinctions, and the higher the concentration of Zro sources, the easier the galaxy to mine, the higher the value.

"And the competition for the Zro star source mining area proposed by the photosynthetic civilization is to seize the control of the Zro star source mining area of the Shield constellation."

When Lang Xiaonian said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Next, there is distance. The Zro source mine in the constellation Shieldis is 30,000 light-years away.

"It takes six months to walk the hyperspace shipping lane, with the current navigation technology of mankind.

"The Perseus spiral arm controlled by the photosynthetic civilization is 6,000 light-years away from the Zro star source mine in the constellation Shield."

A military staff officer of the General Staff asked: "What good will it do us to participate in the battle of the Zro Star Source in the Constellation Shield?" Can we get the mining rights of Zro? ”

"This has not yet been discussed with the Carbon-Based Coalition and will be part of it in the next few days." A department head in charge of the exchange of extraterrestrial civilizations replied.

……

After the meeting.

The Supreme Council of Mankind and the Perseus Spiral Arm Administrator of the Photosynthetic Civilization obtained a correspondence to discuss the issues discussed at the meeting.

Fang Yuan asked bluntly: "Milky Way, not only the beginning of the Shield constellation exists Zro Star Source, right?" Four spiral arms, there should be both, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if you have it or not, it's useless to ask." Pickers didn't quite want to answer that question.

"Let me guess, the Zro Star Source Mining Area of the other spiral arms is controlled by the Palese civilization." Fang Yuan guessed with a smile.

Pigs was silent for a moment before admitting, "Yes, the Zro star source mine of the four spiral arms of the Milky Way is controlled by Palasse.

"In fact, 20,000 years ago, we controlled the Zro star source mine with two spiral arms, and it was after the defeat in the battle of V838 in the constellation Monoceratus that our galaxy's main fleet was severely damaged, and we lost control of the mining area."

Fang Yuan understood what was going on after listening to it.

In this war of higher civilizations, the carbon-based alliance is indeed at a disadvantage.

——————

The Zro star source of the Milky Way is basically pinched by the Palese civilization.

It's no wonder that the Carbon-Based Alliance wants to hit the Zro Star Source Mine with the spiral arm of the Shield Seat, which is to get the mine back.
