"Colonel Cheng, you want to personally participate in the escort work!?"

Hearing Colonel Cheng Long's request, a trace of consternation quickly appeared on Dr. Aristotle's originally calm face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, no, no, it's completely ......unnecessary," Dr. Aristotle's brain swayed like a pendulum, "I don't need to remind you, I'm sure you're well aware that escort missions, while important, are equally risky. As a senior military commander, you don't have to put yourself at risk. What's more, you're still a lady......"

"Dr. Aristotle, you don't have to persuade me anymore." With a solemn expression on Colonel Cheng's face, she deliberately strengthened her tone, slowed down her speech, and continued word by word, "It is precisely because the escort mission is very important and the risk is extremely high that I insist on participating in person!" ”

"This ......"

"Thank you for your concern." Although Colonel Cheng Long is a soldier, he is also a woman, so the smile on her face at this time is also extraordinarily gentle, "As you said, as the forefront of the new world's contact with the civilization of the unknown universe, the Kepler Deep Space Observatory must obtain more valuable information as soon as possible in order to buy time for the federal top to make decisions." Therefore, this reconnaissance work is of great significance, and as the supreme commander of the reconnaissance fleet stationed at the observation post, I have a mission and an obligation to personally participate in this operation. ”

"You're right, of course, but my starting point is to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

The astonishment on Dr. Aristotle's face had subsided for the most part, but he still tried to persuade the lady in front of him to dispel his thoughts.

"Doctor, I'm sure you're prepared for that. As the front line of contact with an unknown super-civilization, every staff member and soldier at Kepler's Deep Space Observatory must be prepared to sacrifice at any time. So, I'd rather devote my life and passion to more meaningful work. ”

During the conversation, Cheng Long's words gradually softened.

"Do you want to meet the aliens in person?" Dr. Aristotle did not deny Cheng Long's point of view, and asked rhetorically.

"That's exactly what it means!"

"It's really admirable." Dr. Aristotle's eyes were full of love, and he couldn't help but look the female officer in front of him up and down, "I'm old, so naturally I have looked down on life and death. However, you are not even as old as my daughter, and you have such an open-minded mind, a sense of righteousness, and no fear of danger......"

"Doctor, you're overrated, I'm a woman, but I'm a soldier. It is the duty of a soldier to complete the task and accept the challenge, and it should be extremely glorious to be able to sacrifice his life for the Federation and the people! ”

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, I don't have to bother an old man." Dr. Aristotle could feel the sincerity and passion in Colonel Cheng's every word, not a pretentious talk show, "Well, I wish you and the other soldiers involved in the operation good luck." ”

With that, Dr. Aristotle stretched out his right hand to Colonel Cheng Long.

"Thank you, Doctor."

Colonel Cheng did not hold the hand that was as old as a dead wood, but took two steps forward, then leaned forward, and embraced the scientific veteran in front of him with gray temples and wrinkled faces, but he was extremely admirable.

......

The news from the Kepler Deep Space Observatory spread like a violent storm to every corner of the New World with maximum efficiency.

To this end, the New World Bunderal-Government Organization has convened a number of meetings at the highest level.

Major departments such as scientific research and the military have also put forward a variety of rich ideas in response to the limited amount of information they have obtained, and have discussed countermeasures in advance.

"What should come will come after all!" Yuan Haochen sat quietly in the office and muttered to himself.

During this time, he would leave half a day for himself to think alone every few days.

In the process of thinking, Yuan will occasionally flip through some work reports from various places, or ask the artificial intelligence system and secretary to help collect some less common information as an aid.

"What kind of cosmic civilization are they?"

"What do we have that they desperately want?"

"The number of fleets of this group of unknown cosmic civilizations is too large, how should we deal with it."

Yuan Haochen felt that he was about to grasp the answer in front of him, but the fleeting aura turned in his mind and disappeared again.

......

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never ......return once he is gone."

"It's inexplicable! How could you suddenly think of this verse that has been passed down through the ages? ”

Cheng Long shook his head and quickly dispelled the sentence that quietly emerged in his mind, the only remaining poem in the long history.

She knows the meaning of the poem: inauspicious, full of pathos.

So, she quickly put it behind her and put her energy into the next job of guarding.

After the fleet leaves the Poole Deep Space Observatory, it will take about two months to reach the target area of the probe.

There are three specially built probes in total, and because they all have independent engine propulsion systems, the probes will fly at high speed towards the target area, that is, the direction of the unknown cosmic civilization since launch.

Theoretically, the probes could fly to the target area on their own, but because these probes were responsible for a heavy duty and could not afford to miss a minute, the federal top brass specifically requested that a reconnaissance fleet be sent to escort these probes to the target area.

You must know that before the civilization of the unknown universe arrives in the new world, the human camp will not have a second chance (too late) to send a special probe to collect critical information.

"Once these purpose-built probes have arrived in the target area, the escorted reconnaissance fleet can leave, and you can choose to carry out further reconnaissance missions, or you can choose to return directly to Kepler Deep Space Observatory. Colonel Cheng, it all will depend on your own decision......"

Cheng Long recalled what Dr. Aristotle had said to her before leaving.

"Perhaps, we should bypass the probe after arriving at the target area, and have a close contact with the unknown universe civilization within the scope of the authority allowed by the upper peak."

Cheng Long had a faint decision in his heart......
