"Senior, please come with me."

Dongfang's voice rang out on the side, pulling Zhang Beihai back from the thoughts of memory.

With that, he turned around and walked towards the shuttle in front of him.

Zhang Beihai took a few steps, looked back at Professor Ding who had already walked away, and then turned around silently and followed Dongfang Continuation.

The shuttle slowly entered space under the control of Dongfang Continuation, and flew towards the starport in the distance.

"Our fleet factory floats in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, and we can extract the catalytic fuel from Jupiter, process it, and transport it to the docks and factories nearby, where some ammunition and spacecraft parts will be manufactured and assembled......

While piloting the shuttle over the base of Jupiter, the East continues to introduce the current development achievements of mankind.

Zhang Beihai looked at the huge city established by human beings in space, and couldn't help but sigh.

"In my day, I was an optimist.

But even I couldn't have imagined that humanity could go so far, and this is a great time......"

Ten minutes later

The shuttle came to the edge of Starport.

A massive gray space battleship appeared in the field of vision below.

"Senior, look."

As he spoke, Dongfang continued to point to the starships docked in the starport below and said, "Below, is the flagship of the Third Squadron of the Asian Fleet, the Natural Selection. ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Beihai looked at the gray giant ship and nodded, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

The shuttle began to descend and slowly sailed into the battleship's hangar.

After landing, the docking platform rotated 180 degrees and aligned the tail of the shuttle to the passage leading to the command hall in the front hangar.

Dongfang continued to open the door of the machine, and the same chapter Beihai flew out together.

"Senior, please come here."

As he spoke, Dongfang continued to make way and led Zhang Beihai towards the front.

The starship is in a microgravity environment, so it is still possible to walk in it.

The two jumped from the air above the passage to the command hall, where two male officers in the uniform of the deputy captain were waiting.

Dongfang continued to slowly fall beside the two deputy captains, and then saluted Zhang Beihai and said, "Welcome to the senior executive captain Zhang Beihai to lead the work of our ship!" ”

Zhang Beihai landed in front of the three of them and immediately returned the salute.

The other two co-captains also saluted and introduced themselves: "First Captain Levine, First Captain of the Natural Selection, welcome seniors aboard!" ”

"Akira Inoue, the second mate of the Natural Selection, welcome seniors."

"Hello."

Zhang Beihai nodded.

At this moment, a crew member walked by, holding a delicate silver pistol in his hand.

Dongfang continued to take the pistol from the ship's hand, and then presented it to Zhang Hokkaido with both hands: "On behalf of all the officers and men of the ship, I give a gift to my seniors." ”

"If I am found to have defeatism and escape attempts, my seniors can use it to kill me."

When Zhang Beihai saw this scene, his face immediately became solemn.

He took the gun and was silent for a few seconds.

Although humanity today has developed to a point where it was unimaginable two hundred years ago.

However, judging from the current situation, it is still impossible for human beings to defeat the current three-body civilization.

The technological blockade of human beings by the Trisolarans has been successful, which Zhang Beihai has already known from Professor Ding's words.

However, contemporary people do not realize this, and even arrogantly believe that the human fleet has full confidence in crushing the three-body civilization.

But no matter what, Zhang Beihai had already made up his mind before the freeze that he would keep the last trace of fire for mankind, even if he would be scolded by everyone for doing so.

"Oriental ......"

"What's wrong?"

The East continues to look at Chapter Hokkaido.

Zhang Beihai spoke slowly, with a hint of heaviness in his words: "I'm sorry if I don't kill you." ”

Hearing Zhang Beihai's words, Dongfang continued to smile: "Do you think I look like the Steel Seal Clan?" ”

Zhang Beihai looked at Dongfang Continuation, then looked at the gun in his hand, and did not speak.

Dongfang continued to shake his head, then turned to the console and said, "This ship is yours, please come with me, I will teach you how to start it." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the cabin on the side.

The two of them arrive in a spherical space in the cabin, the door closes, and the holographic control image unfolds in it.

"Now let's take the first lesson, how to activate natural selection."

......

meanwhile

280,000 kilometers from Mars

A white light flashed.

A black armor that almost fused with space appeared in this cosmic space.

"Eva, can you perceive the detector of the Three-Body Civilization?"

Qin Yu thought and communicated in the battle armor.

"I can clearly perceive the civilization creation aircraft within a light year."

Eva responded.

"The Trisolaran probe is already very close to the solar system and has begun to slow down."

"It is expected to reach Jupiter's orbit in more than 20 hours."

"Hmm."

Qin Yu nodded.

The system interface is brought up and the storage space is opened.

"Let's drive the starship over directly."

Hunter-class starships are many times larger than human warships in the Trisolaran world.

If you don't think about accommodation, it's easy to accommodate tens of millions of people.

In other words, when the water droplets launched an attack on the human fleet, Qin Yu could temporarily transfer everyone to his own battleship, saving them from death, and at the same time, making them deeply aware of how weak they were at the moment.

Qin Yu selected the starship in the storage space and unfolded it into the universe.

The huge hull of the whole body that was pitch black appeared in an instant, completely blocking the starlight in front of Qin Yu.

A white light flashed, and Qin Yu was teleported into the bridge.

"Eamon, activate the battleship and turn on stealth mode."

"Okay Brother Yu, the starship intelligence connection is complete, the energy core is being activated, and the stealth mode has been turned on."

"Boom."

The pitch-black giant ship lit up in an instant, and then disappeared into space in an instant, imperceptible to the naked eye and radar.

"Ava, help me vacate the starship hangar and put those space fighters and interstellar tanks into the extradimensional pendant universe."

"Okay."

After speaking, a spatial vortex appeared in the starship's hangar.

Qin Yu came to the command seat and sat down, the holographic interface unfolded in front of him, and the piloting of the starship had all been handed over to Emon to be responsible.

"Set the course, the orbit of Jupiter, the human fleet fusion engine energy signal."

"Okay Brother Yu, near Jupiter's orbit, more than a thousand fusion energy signal sources are being assembled, the route is set, the energy is introduced into the starship propulsion system, and the dark matter engine has been started."

During the whole process, there was not a trace of light or energy radiation.

Even the three-body probe couldn't detect Qin Yu's starship.

After all, this is the technological product of the supreme civilization.

As for the high technology, it is an existence that surpasses all the god-level civilizations in the source universe where Qin Yu is located.

Even if they don't use it at all, the eliminated technology products can still be imagined how powerful they are.

With the humming sound of charging, the huge battleship suddenly accelerated like a bullet out of its chamber, and rushed quickly in the direction of Jupiter.

......

meanwhile

Jupiter's orbit

Outside the spherical cabin of the Starship Natural Selection.

Dongfang Continuation has completed the training on the control of the starship in Zhang Beihai and handed over control, and is waiting outside the cabin with the two deputy captains.

Several people chatted for a while, and one of the deputy captains said a little strangely: "Why hasn't the senior come out after so long?" ”

Another deputy captain was also a little skeptical: "It's a bit abnormal to just change the command password, and it is said that he is the fastest person in the advance team to accept new knowledge." ”

After listening to Dongfang Continuous, his pretty face frowned slightly: "Let's go in and take a look." ”

"Hmm."

With that, several people opened the hatch and leaned in.

"I'm done."

In the spherical cabin, Zhang Beihai heard someone walk in, facing the holographic controller with his back to a few people.

"Are you enjoying the thrill of getting your hands on Natural Selection?"

One of the co-captains teased with some unhappiness.

Zhang Beihai's actions made him a little unhappy.

Being in the cabin for so long, it's obvious that you're playing with the command panel.

However, the moment Zhang Beihai turned around, a clearly set red line appeared in front of the three of them.

Above the line, a striking decision-making command flashes a blinding red light.

"Personnel and cabin checks have been bypassed, whether to enter Forward Four."

In the three-body world, after the human starship enters the forward four, the acceleration peak will reach 120 G, and other human warships will not be able to catch up.

However, before entering the Forward 4, the entire crew of the ship must enter a liquid with extremely high oxygen content called deep-sea acceleration fluid to withstand the weight of strong gravity sailing.

Dongfang continued to see this scene, his pupils shrank, and he shouted in a lost voice: "No! Don't do this! ”

"Are you crazy?!"

The vice-captain on the side angrily banged on the glass cover of the spherical cabin and scolded.

And Zhang Beihai turned around calmly and firmly: "Natural Selection will enter the forward four." ”

"Dongfang, let the whole ship's crew immediately enter the deep sea state."

"You...... Are you a steel seal? ”

Dongfang continued to ask in disbelief, she couldn't believe that Zhang Beihai, who had just been regarded as a senior by herself, had made such a move that went against her original intention.

"You know I'm not."

Zhang Beihai said solemnly.

“ETO”

"Not really."

Zhang Beihai put his hand on the holographic control panel, and he was about to click to confirm.

"And who are you?"

Dongfang continued to ask blankly and angrily as he pulled the glass cover.

Zhang Beihai turned his back to her and replied: "A conscientious soldier who fights for the survival of human civilization." ”

"Why do you want to do this......"

The East continues with some despair.

However, Zhang Beihai did not explain.

"Again, the entire crew of the ship went into the deep sea."

As he spoke, he turned around, stared at Dongfang's beautiful eyes and said, "Dongfang, I said that I would be sorry if I had to kill you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang fell silent, looked at Zhang Beihai unwillingly, and did not respond for a long time.

"Oriental, time is running out."

As he spoke, Zhang Beihai turned around again, no longer paying attention to a few people, and stretched out his hand to click to confirm.

Seeing this, Dongfang continued to grit his teeth, and hurriedly ordered: "Do as he says!" The whole ship has entered the deep sea state! ”

The next moment, the whole ship's radio sounded: "This ship is about to enter the fourth forward, and all the staff will immediately enter the deep sea state!" This is not a drill, repeat ......"

At the same time, in the ball warehouse where Zhang Beihai was, a deep-sea liquid slowly rose.

Looking at the continuation of the east, Zhang Beihai said affirmatively: "You are a qualified captain. ”

Dongfang continued to say something against her, but the moment she turned around, she saw Zhang Beihai, who was about to be wrapped in deep-sea liquid, and solemnly saluted her. ”

As he said, he did not do this for himself, but to fulfill the duty of a military man.

Dongfang Continuous, who wanted to say something, saw this scene, closed his mouth that had just opened again, then lowered his head and sighed, turned around and walked towards the other ball barn.

Zhang Beihai returned to the holographic controller, and after confirming that all the ship's personnel had entered the deep sea state, he looked at the interstellar map and said firmly to the ship's intelligence.

"Natural selection, forward four!"
