CHAPTER 2 SECOND PHASE OF EXPLORATION 14. Return

During the three-month stay, the researchers, led by Dr. Aron, successfully built and equipped the fleet with a close-range identification system for friend or foe.

At the end of the test, Xingtian held a fleet-wide video conference. First of all, he recognized the work of the scientific researchers who followed the fleet, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to them on behalf of the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Grove.

Together with all the personnel of the fleet, he recalled the efforts and hardships of human beings after the destruction of the earth's ecology, the contributions of the people, the government, the army, and scientific researchers to mankind, and focused on the important role played by scientific researchers.

When all the scientific researchers in the fleet puffed up their chests proudly and raised their heads, Xing Tian's words suddenly turned around and told everyone what happened on the Battlestar this time.

When talking about the scientific researcher's unauthorized possession of alien equipment components, he also put the scientific researcher's desire to improve human self-preservation ability in the front.

In this way, most of the scientific researchers did not have an aversion to Xingtian, and Xingtian finally gave a serious explanation to everyone about the seriousness of this.

It was also announced that the final decision of the fleet on the researcher would be monitored in real time until the end of the operation, with Dr. Aron in charge of monitoring the content of his research.

Immediately, the researchers began to exchange words, some in favor and some against, but those who were in favor were more grateful than those who were against.

It is very normal for these people to be unruly and unruly because they are the top figures in their fields, but after Dr. Aron organized the people in advance to express their views on the safety of human beings, there is not much resentment.

Eventually, Dr. Aron expressed his support for the departure decision issued by the fleet's command on behalf of the scientists, and ended the meeting.

After that, Xingtian and Ares shuttled frequently between the Archangel and the Battlestar, and their respective combat staff officers were also busy.

In fact, what they are discussing is extremely simple: after the waiting period, whether the fleet will continue to carry out the second phase of exploration as planned, or return to ship immediately, so that more scientific researchers can participate in the technical research of the Archangel to obtain sufficient self-protection ability.

A small problem made the entire fleet of commanders all go around, half of them supported to move on, they thought that since they had obtained the Archangel, they had the ability to protect themselves to a certain extent, and they could carry out the second phase of exploration according to the original plan, and quickly obtain this part of the information, which would also facilitate the research of scientific researchers to carry out research on the Archangel; The other half of the crew thought that they should return immediately, first of all, the Archangel, although they could operate the basics, and they had not tested anything in the event of an alien defense or attack, and the current situation did not allow them to test it, which would be a big loss.

Although the return voyage is a waste of time, it is safe, even if the scientific researchers do not thoroughly study the technology of the Archangel, at least they can replenish the personnel of the fleet after returning to Athena City, due to the addition of a battleship, the current battleship staffing is obviously insufficient, and it will suffer in the event of a battle.

Both sides actually agreed with each other's opinions, but each insisted on its own proposal, believing that this would be the most powerful for the development of the fleet and the human race, and that Xingtian and Ares would be the first and the second great.

In the end, Xingtian and Ares found Grove again without hope, and Grove only said a word to them, and then played Chinese chess with Dr. Aron and ignored them.

Immediately after returning to the command module, Xingtian issued an order: after the stay period, the fleet would return immediately, and the return route would be determined by the staff to make a route based on the assumption that there was an enemy tracking, and this order was the final order and no discussion or disobedience was allowed.

In addition, it is required to conduct a fleet confrontation show after entering the solar system, and the show is completely real without a plan, and it is required that the combat personnel of each ship organize their own training from the return voyage.

After the order was issued, both sides of the disagreement were a little dumbfounded, how could the usual democracy and consultation be gone?

In fact, this order was issued entirely because of Grove's words, his original words: democracy and consultation are boring nonsense in peacetime, and only iron-blooded and arbitrary in wartime.

We are not far from wartime now, and if this nonsense continues, humanity is in danger.
