Swish~

Black Sword took off his holographic glasses and returned to the real world from the secret web, the dark silence of the deep space outside the huge porthole, floating countless large and small gravel, boundless, like an impassable moat, blocking Black Sword and his fleet.

Straightening his chest, the black sword came to the landing porthole, his expression was full of excitement, and the fire was faintly jumping in his eyes, with the help of the navigator, he was no longer confused and afraid, Luo Jia's innate upright aura made the black sword believe that as long as he followed the guidance of the navigator, he would definitely be able to get out of here.

"Report, the West District Emergency Call!" Just as he was about to set sail with the fleet, his deputy suddenly reported to the black sword.

"Read!" Black Sword said with a slight frown.

Bang~

A few minutes later, the deputy finished reading the message from the headquarters, and the black sword's face was gloomy, and he slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise, and the frightened deputy suddenly shuddered.

"You go out, let me be alone for a while." Black Sword said in a deep voice.

When the deputy left, Heijian took a big breath and forced himself to calm down, "Don't worry, you are still very young, as the youngest graduate in the history of the Command Academy, your talent is impeccable, everything is only temporary." ”

Similar to Ah Q's spiritual victory method, it helped Black Sword calm down, and when he walked out of his office and passed by the pantry, he happened to hear someone talking inside.

"Did you hear that? There's another urgent call from the West Side, asking us to make it to the Forgotten System next week, and if we don't get there on time, the lieutenant colonel may have to go to court-martial. ”

"Forgotten galaxies? A forgotten galaxy between the two star counties of Thorn Valley and Venal? Why go there? Opening up new routes? Or something to explore? ”

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fundamental reason is General Lafaty's suppression of our lieutenant colonel, after all, Lafati is the biological son of the guardian of the Western District, and the lieutenant colonel is the illegitimate son of the guardian, and the biological son and the illegitimate son do not like each other, one is a superior, the other is a subordinate, serving in the same war zone, if nothing else, then it is called a strange thing."

"I see... It's no wonder that Heijian is obviously talented, he is the youngest graduate of the Command Academy, and he is only a lieutenant colonel until now, and he has to lead us remnants of the defeated army to carry out dangerous missions that may kill us at any time. ”

"This is probably fate, who made the lieutenant colonel's mother from a humble background, just a maid, and the son of the guardian of the Western District, the gap in fate is too big."

"You say, can we pass through this belt of rubble in the Full Moon Galaxy?"

"Look at your luck, I just hope that the lieutenant colonel will not rely on force to rush, after all, the gravel belt is a danger that can be seen, and the real danger is always hidden in the invisible corner."

"If I go back, I have to go to court-martial, if I don't go back, I have to risk rushing into the gravel belt, if I am a lieutenant colonel, I will take the risk of fighting, and it is a big deal that people die and birds face up."

Hearing this, the black sword deliberately made a sound, and the two soldiers in the pantry immediately shut up, and after the black sword walked over, they were glad that they said the lieutenant colonel's gossip, but fortunately they were not discovered.

Obviously, he could severely punish those two guys who chewed the root of their tongues and set an example, but in the end, Black Sword chose to forgive, this is his nature, the softness hidden under the hard exterior.

"They were also excluded in the Western District, so they were sent to my fleet, even if these soldiers died with me, the headquarters would not feel distressed, but would feel lucky, thinking that they had thrown off a big burden, forget it, they had to be forgiving and forgiving," Black Sword thought to himself, his care for his subordinates came from the sighs of the same fallen people at the end of the world.

"Commander!"

"Captain!"

Black Sword walked into the command center, greeted by hundreds of crew members, and then he walked onto the two-story bridge, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

After the annihilation of civilization, artificial intelligence no longer exists, ships or fleets, can not get the help of artificial intelligence, must rely on a large number of professionals, in order to sail in the dangerous galaxy, which also brings new opportunities to human beings living in the stars, professionals continue to emerge, as long as through learning, master professional skills, anyone has the possibility of soaring.

However, when Hei Jian looked around, his command center was full of young men with green faces, young cadets who had been eliminated from major professional academies, and some old men in the Western Fleet who were waiting to die, forming the main body of this fleet.

What's even more terrifying is that the most crippled fleet in the history of the Western Regions also has to carry out dangerous exploration missions, which makes Black Sword's situation even worse.

The black sword ordered the position mark he had obtained from Luo Jia, and a few hours later, the fleet arrived at the predetermined location, only to see a crack in the center of the original wall-like rubble belt, which could only accommodate three standard cargo ships in width.

"It's a passage!"

"Will we be able to pass through the gravel belt by following the passageway?"

"The lieutenant colonel is amazing, how the hell did he find this passage?"

Black Sword knew in his heart that it was not himself who was magical, but the respected navigator, and he really didn't lie to himself, the gravel belt of the Full Moon Galaxy was not an insurmountable obstacle!

"The fleet is fully self-inspecting and releasing reconnaissance drones!" The black sword commanded in a deep voice.

Swish~

Three Hummingbird-type reconnaissance drones flew up, lined up in a triangular queue, entered the center of the gravel belt, and transmitted the situation of the internal route of the gravel belt back to the fleet command center through visual sensors, deep space radar, magnetic detectors and other airborne equipment.

At the same time, the fleet, composed of the old and sick, began to make final checks, testing the power of the energy shield, warming up the large-caliber laser cannon, checking whether the energy flow between the thrusters and the reactor was smooth, and so on.

The Exploration Fleet's flagship, the Raven, has been in service for more than 80 years, and this aging heavy destroyer, with its double 720 caliber rapid-fire laser cannon, fierce firepower, and the Crusader Military-Industrial Group's fifth-generation fire control system, is a good hand at close combat.

"Let's go! All ships follow the flagship! ”

"The Hunter and the Boomerang are on the left and right!"

"After the Earth Signal is broken!"

At the sound of the black sword's order, the Raven took the lead, spewing out a beautiful blue fire from the stern, the hull shook slightly, accelerated, and continued to accelerate until sixty-five percent of the regular cruising speed, and the chief engineer stabilized the engine power and allocated more energy to the defense system, the digital analysis system, and the fire system.

The momentum is extremely imposing, but this does not hide the embarrassing fact that the average ship of the fleet is zero over 100 years old, and any person in their right nerve will be worried about leading such a grandfather-class fleet and stepping on a dangerous and unknown channel.

Black Sword's heart hung up, his left hand was inserted into his uniform pocket, and he tightly clenched the amulet containing his mother's photo, his palms were full of sweat, but he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

"Fifteen degrees to starboard, turn on the afterburner thruster!"

"Release the Winding Beam and move the gravel in front of me!"

"Can't be returned! The engine is turned off, all the energy is concentrated in the forward energy shield, and the ship-wide alarm is sounded, ready for the impact! ”

As the black sword gave the order, the red warning light in the cabin sounded loudly, and the electronic audio broadcast sounded again and again.

"Warning, impact is thirty seconds later!"

"Warning, the impact is twenty seconds later! Prepare the entire crew! ”

Thundered~

The Raven faced the group of rubble that suddenly appeared in the fairway, opened the energy shield to the maximum, the hull vibrated violently, the power supply entered the overload protection, and the yellow emergency light turned on after it was extinguished, making the world in the cabin become bizarre, and the crew clung to the fixed object and prayed to the stars in their hearts.

In a second, a second or two, the old Raven withstood a storm-like assault, withstood severe tests again and again, and finally made its way through the gravel belt to the quiet starry sky on the other side.

"Stars willing, we've literally passed through the rubble and electromagnetic turbulence!"

"Long live the Commander! Long live the lieutenant colonel! ”

The crew celebrated wildly, shed tears of excitement for the rest of their lives, and at the same time, their worship of the black sword also reached an unprecedented height, this success, let everyone appreciate the demeanor of the first day of the command academy, the judgment and improvisation of the black sword, absolutely the first among the stars.

"Thank you to the navigator, thank you Mr. Luo Jia!"

However, at this moment, Black Sword had a completely different idea in his heart, and he could not suppress his admiration for Luo Jia, because he knew that this dangerous crossing was all guided by the great navigator, and it was Luo Jia who saved himself on the brink of crisis.

"To help Luo Jia collect the history and information he wants as soon as possible, I don't know how many navigators are left among the stars, but I can be sure that with the annihilation of civilization, the number of such ancient and noble top professionals should be very small, and any navigator who is still alive is worthy of worship, not to mention that Luo Jia is still so young."

After washing his face in the bathroom and regaining his spirits, Black Sword made up his mind and decided to repay Luo Jia for his help with all his might, carefully maintaining the hard-won friendship between himself and the navigator.

"General Rafati on Communication Channel Four." After returning to the command room, the deputy lowered his voice and said to the black sword: "When passing through the gravel belt, the radio was jammed, and the general seems to have been contacting us, but without success. ”

Black Sword was slightly stunned, and returned to the position of the commander of the bridge, he pressed the button, opened the holographic light curtain, and connected to General Rafatti, who was far away in the Western District Command, only to see this man who was three points similar to Black Sword, his face was very gloomy, as if he was owed money by someone.

"Why is there radio silence? You'd better give me a reasonable reason. Lafati said in a deep voice, with a faint aura of murder in his voice.

The fleet cannot enter the radio silence at will, and if the headquarters or friendly forces need support, the fleet cannot be contacted for a while, and the commander has to bear a huge responsibility for this.

However, Black Sword's fleet is not a standard military unit, it is a small fleet for exploration missions, consisting of two destroyers, six frigates, and a supply ship, not only the ships are old, the crew qualifications are uneven, but also not equipped with electronic attack ships, interceptors, interceptors and other special starships, really go to carry out combat missions, can only deliver food, Lafati questioned so harshly, there is a suspicion of fake public benefit, and a big hat for Black Sword.

The black sword ignored this, he raised his head and said frankly: "Report to the general, just now when we were passing through the gravel belt, we encountered electromagnetic interference, not active radio silence. ”

What the!?

Lafatti's eyebrows twitched, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, he couldn't believe his ears, the black sword actually passed through the gravel belt?

"Yes." Black Sword explained, "We have passed through the gravel belt of the Full Moon Galaxy and are making our way to the Oblivion Galaxy as requested, and we are expected to arrive in two days. ”

"You said you've passed through the rubble belt of the Full Moon Galaxy?" Lafati was shocked and asked, "How did you get through?" Could it be that you opened the dimensional wall and forcibly opened a spatial rift? ”

Black Sword smiled and said, "Of course we don't have a legendary-level existence like a space starter, but we have found a path that can pass through the gravel belt. ”

You've found the path!?

That's too shit luck, right!?

Lafati looked strange, he didn't speak for a long time, seeing that this illegitimate son who ruined the family's reputation was in high spirits, Lafati couldn't be happy anyway, the black sword found a way through the gravel belt, which is of great significance to the entire energy civilization, and I am afraid that he will be forced to reward the black sword and give him a promotion.

"Keep going." Rafati raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Contact me when you reach the outer reaches of the Oblivion system, and I'll tell you what to do." ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, General! The black sword saluted General Rafati.

Swish~

The light curtain closed, and Black Sword suddenly felt a hearty feeling in his heart.

"Thank you to the great navigator! You are the brightest star to guide me! Black Sword thought excitedly in his heart, "I have to hurry up and prepare the reward for Luo Jia, the history of energy civilization and nuclear fusion technology, fortunately, these are not core technologies, and it is not difficult to obtain them with my current authority." ”

"In addition, continue to pay attention to Rafatti's movements, he sent me out this time, to such a distant place, and led a broken fleet, there should be no intention of letting me go back."

"According to legend, the Forgotten Galaxy is one of the battlefields in the period of annihilation of civilization, and the movable space station Starlock with a total power of energy shield of 170 billion standard units was sunk by the mechanical civilization in the Forgotten Galaxy, and thus fell, in that tragic war in which all civilizations besieged the mechanical civilization, our losses were really heavy, and even the Starlock equipped with a super shield sank."

"The Department of Mechanics is worthy of being the most rogue and unreasonable civilization in history, Luo Jia actually claims to be from the Department of Mechanics? He must have just been joking, right? Because if he is really mechanical, it is equivalent to announcing to the stars that he is the enemy of the whole people, so come and hunt me down! ”

"Yes, it must be a joke, in the case that all civilizations have mastered mechanical technology today, there is no longer a so-called mechanical department in the world, Luo Jia must come from a mysterious, even unknown, hidden civilization!"

Luo Jia's speculation from the hidden civilization made the black sword quickly excited, after all, the top profession of the navigator has almost disappeared from the stars today, plus Luo Jia's hooded sweatshirt and jeans from the era, this retro style is incompatible with the stars, people living in the stars, how have they ever seen the cool and fashionable clothes like cotton hooded sweatshirts.

"In any case, the Forgotten Galaxy is waiting for me, the ancient battlefield that led to the fall of the Starlock is waiting for me, the future is full of unknowns, and Luo Jia, the magical navigator, may show me the way forward at a critical moment!"

Thinking of this, Hei Jian suddenly felt more confident and full of strength.

……

After resting all night, Luo Jia felt a lot more energetic, and the robot made breakfast and prepared clean clothes for Luo Jia.

Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the day of the company's official opening, Luo Jia sent electronic red envelopes to all employees according to the usual practice, and then came to the management bureau to participate in the first regular meeting after the year.

After the Spring Festival, everything changed, Luo Jia found a new direction, and the Administration Bureau also ushered in the largest personnel resignation in history, Hong Tao, Di Wuchang, Ling Feng, the three company veterans did not appear in their positions today, although Luo Jia retained, they still decided not to participate in the company's management affairs.

Luo Jia's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and for more than ten seconds, no one spoke, looking at the three vacant boss chairs in a daze.

Luo Jia looked up and looked around.

An Ran, vice president of the group and head of the hardware department, Li Moran, vice president of the group and head of the software department, Wen Chengling, head of the life science department, Wen Chengfeng, Shen Lang, head of the entertainment and cleaning department, Cao Yuan, head of the Institute of Materials Science, plus himself, the total number of the management bureau has dropped from ten to seven.

"Are you okay with the New Year?"

Li Moran was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the conference room, if An Ran and Luo Jia are both passionate entrepreneurs, then Li Moran is a typical keeper, silently doing his job, observing the needs of everyone in the team, and then helping.

Following Li Moran's words, the atmosphere in the conference room quickly became lively, although everyone spent the Spring Festival in Jiuquan, and only went home to see it on the fourth and fifth days of the new year, but the visible changes in their hometown still surprised everyone.

This is not only a material and economic change, but also an increasingly self-confident Chinese people, who are welcoming the strong return of the ancient Chinese civilization.

"All the past is prologue!" Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "New year, new atmosphere, only forward, is our only direction, from now on, the particle and nuclear physics laboratory, officially renamed the Department of Fusion Energy, the level has been upgraded to the second level of the group, everyone, please get ready, we are about to impact the controllable fusion of the Tianwang Mountain." ”

This year!

Controlled fusion!?

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
