In the silent bedroom, an old man and a young man looked at each other speechlessly, the old man Wang Pengxun was silent with a smile in his eyes, and the young man Zhao Deming frowned and pondered.

"That's a good idea, but there are two difficulties, one is whether the Atlanteans have a problem with whether they can sell or not, and the other is that you can sell these ships? Moreover, the views of the Alqiians on this matter are also the focus of attention," Zhao Deming, who pondered, raised his own questions.

"You have to negotiate this issue of buying ships, according to my experience, they must have, so it is a question of whether to sell or not, if you can buy it, at least two cruisers, so that you have five Atlantean cruisers, with the strength of a war, as for the frigates, it will be easy to handle, in view of the fact that the main enemy is pirates at present, and they are mostly small ships, so the number of frigates can be appropriately increased, directly raised to fifty, so that it can completely deal with pirates" Wang Pengxun, who looked confident, said eloquently: " The second question you said I can help you a little, your current flagship is an old battleship of the Alqians, the original price in the arms market was about 100 million, and now the loss is estimated to be more than 70 million, and the three cruisers are estimated to be sold for 8 million each, which is a total of 100 million small, and the booty of the pirates in Canada should be a small 40 million, and you can be regarded as making a small fortune, as for the attitude of the Arqians, you don't have to worry about this, They don't care about your stuff."

"Ah...... Is there so much money? Zhao Deming didn't expect that so much money would come out of this toss, but ......, "Then you haven't said how to sell these Arqian ships?"

"Oh, you see that I am happy to patronize and forget about it, I have been an archon for so many years and have met a lot of friends who are engaged in arms, so this is not a big problem, but before selling, you still have to explore the tone of the Atlanteans, if you really can't buy it, it will be a little troublesome, then the few Alqians cruisers in our hands can't be sold, and if you can't get it, you have to buy a few, the Atlantean cruisers are really strong with the power of the sun god, and you humans are also stained."

"Which ......" Zhao Deming wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm talking about the pirates' stolen goods, do you have a way?"

"I can't help with this, but I can give you an opinion, it's best to find those who do black market for things like this, after all, stolen goods can't be put on the surface."

"Oh...... When you say that, I think of a more suitable person, but it's a little far away, over there at the Covenant headquarters."

"It's a bit far, but since he's doing this, I believe their network must be very developed, so you can go to the temple and talk to the Atlanteans first, and then use their communication equipment to get in touch, so it's faster."

"That's fine, then I'll get up and go to the temple, the fleet here depends on you old, I don't know what your next plan is?"

"You want to be the shopkeeper again, can't you just send someone to talk? As for the next step, I suggest that you pull the fleet back to the solar system first, and when the fleet is integrated, you are considering the next step, if you rush to fight pirates now, I'm afraid that some of the gains outweigh the losses, and it would be good if you took advantage of others and didn't trouble you."

Zhao Deming thought about Wang Pengxun's suggestion, the arrangement of the fleet is still very reasonable, but this candidate to go to the temple, after thinking about it, it is still not suitable, it seems that he has to make his own trip, "The arrangement of the fleet is up to you, but there is no way to go to the temple, I really don't have a suitable candidate."

"Alas...... You! Wang Pengxun sighed, "You are now a commander-in-chief, it is impossible to do everything by yourself, but this can't be blamed on you, your time in office is too short, but you have also made the mistake of cronyism, a huge earth of billions of human beings can not still select some outstanding talents, to understand the decentralization, you look at yourself now, a small matter of contact has to run by yourself"

Although Wang Pengxun's words were a little ugly, Zhao Deming also had a deep understanding of the opinions expressed in these words, taking the Star Alliance as an example, due to the lack of trustworthy people, he has not opened an office until now, and he has to entrust the Atlanteans to deal with some related matters, which is a big problem, although he doesn't care about the cynicism of other representatives and members, but things can't go on like this, it seems that he has to go back to Earth to deal with this problem, and if he can't do it, he will pick it from the army.

The speed of the fleet is too slow, after thinking about it again and again, Zhao Deming decided to take Xiaodong to drive the shuttle ship to the temple, although there is a certain risk, after all, there are still pirate remnants that have not been cleaned up, but considering the urgency of time Zhao Deming decided to take this risk, this kind of shuttle ship is a bit like the earth's car, it is a standing item for ordinary people to travel interstellarly, and the biggest advantage of the shuttle ship is that it is fast, before Zhao Deming's fleet came to the pirate base It took almost fifty days, and now it only takes half the time to use the shuttle.

After driving the shuttle for more than 20 days, Zhao Deming and Xiaodong came to the starting point of their current crackdown on pirates, a star gate that connects to the nearest main line, once the shuttle ship enters the main line, where to go to the temple is much faster, according to the speed of the star gate, it is now about one hundred and thirty light years away from the temple, that is thirteen days, this star gate is really a good thing, I don't know who invented it, Zhao Deming shook his head fiercely, no longer thought about these messy things, and then focused on the journey to the temple.

"Dididi" A burst of information sounded.

"It's news from the fleet" Xiaodong notified Zhao Deming as soon as he saw the news.

"Well, open it and see what's going on," Zhao Deming replied.

"The earth is in danger, return to the earth quickly, and we will be there" A few clear large characters were reflected in front of them.

"I'll go! Open the star map and see where we are. Zhao Deming hurriedly instructed Xiaodong, the news was too sudden, and he was not mentally prepared at all.

"We're still more than a day away from the solar system, but luckily we haven't made it there, otherwise it would have taken some time," replied Xiaodong.

"Great, hurry up and change the route back to the earth" Zhao Deming said to Xiaodong while thinking about what danger the earth would be, all kinds of speculations passed by in a flash, feeling that each one was somewhat possible but seemed to be difficult to happen.

"Alas, forget it, it's all nonsense, let's go back and talk about it" Zhao Deming, who had been thinking hard to no avail, gave up this useless speculation.

--- ---

A day later, Zhao Deming's shuttle ship finally sailed out of the stargate of the solar system, and after seeing more guards than before, he knew that the matter was much more serious than he had imagined.

"It seems that we have to go back to Earth first" Zhao Deming thought to himself, so he asked Xiaodong to drive the shuttle ship to the nearest teleportation module.

"Dididi" a request for a holographic projection received Zhao Deming's shuttle ship

"It's the Prophet's holographic request," Xiaodong said.

"...... him" Before Zhao Deming finished speaking, he saw a red light flickering near the entire stargate, and the entire garrison team suddenly became busy, looking at which posture seemed to close the stargate.

"Commissioner...... Stargate ...... The commander of the garrison requested holographic access, "The incident happened too suddenly, which also interfered with Xiaodong's attention, and his speech was a little intermittent.

"Quick...... Take them all in, I want to know what's going on," Zhao Deming said as he looked at the situation near the Star Gate.

"Zhao Deming! The earth is in danger, a meteorite from the asteroid belt suddenly deviated from the predetermined orbit and was hitting the earth, and it was expected to collide with the earth in only two hours" The prophet's body trembled slightly, and his clenched fists also swayed involuntarily with his body, and his anxious and restless expression painted the prophet's young and beautiful face, if the prophet could cry, Zhao Deming believed that she would cry.

"Yes, Human Commissioner, please look at the image of this meteorite, if this meteorite hits Earth, we believe that about 80 percent of humanity will die from this first impact," the commander of the garrison continued with the words of the prophet.

"Can your garrison's weapons shatter it? Or you can go off the rails," Zhao Deming asked

The commander of the garrison shook his head and said: "We don't have heavy weapons, there is no way for such a large meteorite"

"Prophet, you should inform the Earth first and tell them to evacuate the densely populated cities immediately, or hide underground."

"Now that the expected collision site of the meteorite is near the Atlantic Ocean, I have asked them to evacuate, so you should hurry up and figure out how to deal with this meteorite," the Prophet said eagerly.

"You wait, you wait" Zhao Deming tried to calm his heart that had already begun to beat at high speed, and kept telling himself to calm down and distract himself...... Atlantis, "There it is!" Pregnant! Zhao Deming shouted excitedly.

"Commander, your ancestors left a weapon on Earth, the one used to deter the Prophet, can it still be used now?"

"This ......," said the garrison commander after a moment's thought, "it's hard to say, I can only go and see the situation first"

"Then don't go soon, when is it now!"

"Okay, right away"

This wait is nearly half an hour, including this commander, so everyone thinks that this short half an hour is as long as a year, and the news is mixed, the good news is that the weapon can be used, the bad news is that this weapon cannot completely destroy the meteorite and can only be smashed into pieces, it is impossible to change the orbit, if it is just discovered, maybe it can be done, this meteorite is too fast, and now there is only the only option to smash it.

"Commander, immediately order that weapon to attack the meteorite, and then you attack the scattered fragments, and please inform the High Priest immediately, we need the help of the Atlanteans."

"Prophet, you inform the governments of the Earth to intercept these debris at all costs, and at the same time share real-time intelligence on these debris to make their weapons more efficient, and then prepare for disaster relief, and finally inform the Archians and the Covenant that the Earth needs their rescue."

Zhao Deming, who had done all this, slumped in his position and muttered in his heart: "It's all my fault......
