Chapter 212: Proxima Centauri is Coming
(Wuhan hold on, come on, China!) )
It's been almost a year since humanity leased Titan to Proxima Centauri, and although the diplomatic department tried to delay as much as possible, the time for the handover had arrived.
As soon as the combat effectiveness of the Reaper fleet took shape, the mission came, and the head of the Federation designated Mu Chen's Reaper fleet to carry out this mission, and he couldn't refuse at all.
Escorting diplomats to Titan to complete the final handover with Proxima Centauri, this task does not seem to be difficult, it is not just a long-distance passenger service, but Mu Chen knows that things may not be so simple.
The original interstellar porcelain incident frightened mankind, and people would never have imagined that this would be the case with the first discovery of an alien civilization, and they would fall into huge trouble before they had time to be happy.
With the current capabilities of human civilization, there is almost no advantage in front of Proxima Centauri, just an interstellar leap is not something that the current Earth warship can deal with, and humans can't even think of a way to fight it.
And Proxima Centauri used cosmic regulations to put pressure on the Earth Federation, and also used the threat of force, which can be said to have snatched a perfect habitable planet from the solar system, which made human beings angry and helpless.
Mu Chen's mission this time is likely not as calm as it seems on the surface, this can be regarded as the first actual contact between the two space civilizations, Proxima Centauri will definitely hype their strength for their own interests, show their muscles in front of human civilization, a careless will cause a war, although the scale cannot be too large, but it has to be guarded against.
Although the Reaper fleet has just been formed, it can already be regarded as the most reliable space force of the Earth Federation, and the people of the whole earth have a consensus, that is, the warship must be able to exert at least 200% combat effectiveness in Mu Chen's hands.
If Mu Chen can't do anything about these Proxima Centauri, then there really is no one on Earth who can defeat them.
Mu Chen's burden is very heavy, and he almost shoulders the expectations of the entire human civilization.
The head of the Federation found Mu Chen, and said to him earnestly, "We must defend the dignity of mankind", and at the same time demanded that as much as possible not to cause a large-scale war, human civilization really has no certainty of victory, otherwise it would be impossible to sign that unequal treaty.
Mu Chen didn't want to accept this mess at all, it was obviously a thankless task, it was incredibly difficult, and once he lost, he would become a sinner for all mankind, no matter how he looked at it, it was a loss.
But the words of refusal stuck in his throat can't be said anyway, the head of the federation held his hand tightly, the tone of his voice was almost pleading, his eyes were full of expectation, the pressure on this chief was greater than Mu Chen, once the death fleet did not regain face in the face of Proxima Centauri's provocation, it would be a major blow to the confidence of all mankind, and he, the head of the federation, would do it.
It's not that the chief minister is reluctant to take this position, but because he can't bear the responsibilities of the people of the world to him, and at that time, suicide and apology may be his only end.
As a last resort, Mu Chen could only nod and accept this task, no way, he is not a person who retreats in case of trouble, and he himself is now wearing a big hat of the strongest captain on the earth, and he is still wearing a first-class eagle medal on his chest, if he refuses this task, I am afraid that the disappointed netizens can go to his door to sit and demonstrate, and he will have to carry a deserter for the rest of his life
Disgrace.
Mu Chen suddenly found that the head of the federation seemed to have dug the pit for him a long time ago, and held Mu Chen to the sky at the commendation meeting, and used the first-class eagle medal to plug Mu Chen's mouth, so that he couldn't accept it if he wanted to.
Made, this is called unguardable, these politicians really can't believe it, otherwise they won't know if they are fooled and sold.
Although the ducks were driven to the shelves, Mu Chen was still actively preparing, but the crew regarded this mission as their greatest honor, and said that they would defend the dignity of human civilization even if they risked their lives, although they still did not regret it.
These big idiots! Fools who only grow muscles and not brains! Lao Tzu pondered how to survive, but you were happily preparing to die, it sounds very imposing, but Lao Tzu has not lived enough! Mu Chen thought angrily in his heart, but he could only praise the spirit of these crew members who were not afraid of strong enemies and sacrifices, and promised that they would never give in in front of Proxima Centauri.
"Going to die, going to die! This feeling of jumping into the fire pit with your eyes open even though you know it's dangerous is too disgusting, and Lao Tzu is now uncomfortable all over his body! As soon as he returned to his room, Mu Chen couldn't help but shout and curse, anyway, the sound insulation of the room was very good, and he didn't worry about being heard.
Mu Chen didn't know that his complaint was clearly heard by the wolf girl in the next room, not that the wall was not soundproof, but that the wolf girl secretly made a hole in the wall, just so that she could listen to Mu Chen's voice when she was fine.
Although the two of them ate and lived on the same battleship, there was almost no opportunity to chat during the mission, except when she received Mu Chen's direct order, the wolf girl might not be able to say a few words to Mu Chen for a month.
can only use this method to listen to Mu Chen's voice and relieve the loneliness in his heart.
The wolf girl has achieved the position of deputy captain, belonging to the second-in-command of this Death Battleship, there are usually many people around her, but there is no one who can talk a few words in her heart, or except for Mu Chen, no one can enter her heart.
When she is busy at work, she will forget the feeling of loneliness for a while, but once she is free, this loneliness will immediately engulf her, so that the wolf girl is even a little afraid that she will be idle.
Lying on the bed and listening to the voice from next door, the wolf girl's brows gradually wrinkled, she finally understood the worry in Mu Chen's heart, and also knew the difficulty of this mission, and said silently in her heart: Don't worry, no matter where you go, I am by your side, unless I die, no one can hurt you in the slightest......
After a while, Mu Chen's angry voice next door gradually disappeared, it seemed that he was tired of shouting, the wolf girl glanced at the time, the corner of her mouth snickered, almost every day during the break Mu Chen would secretly return to the room to complain for a while, this time never exceeded 5 minutes, this time was the same, hysterically scolded the cunning federal chief and the crew who were carried away by honor, scolded tired and obediently took a bath and slept, the wolf girl found Mu Chen's law.
"What else do you say about retiring and going home to fish in two years, I don't think you will be able to leave the battleship in your life......" The wolf girl pouted disdainfully.
Even she could see that Mu Chen's was almost a natural space pilot and battleship commander, all his talents seemed to be born for the space battlefield, and only this universe could bring out his potential, if he left the battleship, I am afraid that Mu Chen would not be happy.
After a while, Mu Chen's snoring came from the next door, and the wolf girl's sleepiness also came, listening to this sound and slowly falling asleep, her irritable mood was much calmer.
……
Three days later, the Reaper fleet was ready to go, waiting for the personnel of the diplomatic department to arrive, and it was ready to leave for Titan.
Before Mu Chen boarded the ship, he deliberately called his family for a while, telling his parents to take care of their health, not to work too hard, and only to make money. Even after chatting with Mu Yue, who was reluctant to deal with him recently, this girl's anger has not subsided, and she is obviously angry, but after knowing that her brother is going on a mission again, she still can't help crying and asking her brother to go home safely.
In the end, she is her own sister, and she still knows how to hurt people at critical moments, and Mu Chen's heart is also warm.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. It's like parting with life and death, you don't know your brother's ability, the person in this world who can kill me hasn't been born yet, and I'll bring you something delicious when I come back. Mu Chen said to his sister with a smile.
"Okay, bring more snow spirit fruit, the taste of the cultivation on the earth is not right, and it tastes weird." As soon as Mu Yue heard what she was eating, she immediately came back to life, and quickly reminded her brother.
"Well, I'll pull out a few fruit trees for you and come back, and you can hold the trees and eat them when the time comes."
"That's good, brother badass stay safe." Mu Yue said seriously.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Mu Chen involuntarily frowned and said, to be honest, he really didn't have much confidence this time, after all, he didn't even know what the enemy's strength was, so he didn't have the confidence to win.
ended the call, the smile on Mu Yue's face immediately froze, what kind of person is my brother, I am afraid that only Mu Yue knows best in this world, no matter at any time, he is full of confidence, how can he seem to have no confidence this time.
In the past, my brother would tell her in advance when he went out on a mission, and he always said in a vicious voice, "I'll go on a mission, and come back in a few days, you will be obedient to me, dare to make my parents angry, come back and see how I clean you up!" Although her attitude was very bad, Mu Yue could always hear a strong sense of confidence, which made her feel at ease.
But this time, my brother just said to her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." He also subconsciously frowned, which means that this mission may be very tricky, so that Mu Chen himself does not have much confidence and confidence.
Looking at the light and shadow avatar of her brother on the light brain, Mu Yue suddenly felt very uneasy in her heart, and she had a premonition that her brother seemed likely to never come back, which made her extremely panicked.
Although he said angrily that he was no longer willing to deal with that villain brother, two days after his brother left, Mu Yue began to miss him again very angrily.
"Brother, you must come back safely......" Mu Yue looked at the sky in the distance, muttered to herself, tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes, down the little face of some flesh, Mu Yue hurriedly wanted to wipe away the tears, but she couldn't wipe them clean, and finally she could only sit helplessly on the ground and cry bitterly, like a lost little girl, crying to the point of heartbreak.
After a long time, Mu Yue finally held back her tears, rubbed her little sour nose, and said angrily: "Brother Villain, I don't believe that you alone have the final say in the space fleet, no matter what, I will definitely board the space battleship and fight side by side with you!" Wait and see! ”
