Xingtian and Ares are friends, comrades-in-arms, competitors, brothers, brothers who are closer than brothers. Maybe many people can't understand this, but they are such a relationship, they don't have each other, two in one, maybe that's what the United Earth government gave them the two space fleets for. Echoing each other and relatively independent, tacit understanding, synergy, and style unity, the purpose of one plus one is greater than two. In this regard, one has to admire the unique vision of Zion, the human leader of the United Earth Government.

Ares smiled slightly after talking to Xingtian, he understood in his heart why Xingtian cared so much about the transport ship that transported immigrants, there was a person on it who he had always cared about, but at the same time, he also felt something strange, Xingtian was not a person who could impulsively use the power of the fleet just because of someone. A hint of uneasiness arose, this was the soldier's intuition, and this intuition saved him more than once. Ares immediately informed the reconnaissance team to fully cooperate with the First Fleet in its investigation. Sitting in the command room of the battleship, Ares took his coffee and put it to his lips, savoring the bitter taste of the coffee, but his mind had already turned to the day that changed his life more than ten years ago......

February 14, 2021, Valentine's Day, but people were in no mood to think about it at the time, the previous day's nuclear weapons destroyed most of the planet, but no matter how powerful weapons are, there are no guarantees that there will be no survivors. Somewhere in the Himalayas, there was a global environmental monitoring center, which was jointly established by the governments of the time to monitor the earth's ecological environment. Today's monitoring center is in a mess, with ceilings, insulation, documents, and instruments scattered all over the place. Sparkling wires can be seen everywhere, and the lights are on and off. The moans of people and the crackling of electrical short-circuits came and went. The moving wounded are helping people who are more seriously injured than they are. Looking at the helpless eyes of those who were crushed by the falling objects, everyone invariably accelerated their actions and rescued them as soon as possible. People from all countries (after all, they were jointly established by governments, and it is only natural to send their own researchers) are trying to save survivors, regardless of their nationality. If this scene is seen by people who are beating to the death outside, they must be surprised, why not close their mouths. It's so ironic.

Among them, there are 3 children supporting each other and snuggling up to each other, looking at the scene in front of them, their eyes are at a loss. The oldest of them is a 15-year-old Xingtian from China, the other two are Alice from France at 13 and Ares from the United States at 12. The surviving doctors at a monitoring center performed a simple hemostasis and bone reduction on Xingtian's left arm, and rushed to treat the survivors who had just been rescued from under the rubble. The boy was desperate to pull Ares out of the air duct on the ceiling as it was about to collapse and hit him. Eventually, Ares was saved, and the pipe fell and smashed into the filing cabinet, which smashed into Xingtian's left arm, causing a fracture. Alice's head rested on Xingtian's right shoulder, and one hand gently stroked the cut on Xingtian's face, with tears in her eyes. Look at the teenager who asked the doctor to complete the bone reduction without using anesthetic. But Alice was still holding Ares' trembling hand in her left hand, and it was clear that Ares had not recovered from the fright. But in his eyes, I still saw that he was strong and full of admiration. kept staring at Xingtian, who had just saved his life. On this day, the fates of three people were entangled. Alice has a trace of admiration and love for him because of Xingtian's bravery and tenacity. Ares's life-saving grace to Xingtian was directly transformed into admiration and trust.

In the next few days, people came to their senses from the panic, and someone came out to take charge of the overall situation and distribute the work. This makes the rescue work smoother. Soon the rescue effort was declared over. In this disaster, both Xingtian and Ares' parents were killed. Alice's father was saved, but he lost one of his right legs. People from the outside world also got in touch with them. People began to evacuate this monitoring center in the original way. Since Xingtian and Ares were left without parents and sent to an orphanage shelter, Alice accompanied his father to the post-war rehabilitation center. When they parted, Alice looked at Xingtian affectionately, her hand touched Xingtian's face again, there were tears in her eyes, Xingtian smiled at her and said: We will meet again, believe me. Take care of your father. Alice is gone, with a smile on her face. She got the answers she wanted. The remaining Xingtian and Ares were soon sent away. Due to Xingtian's arm injury, Ares took the luggage of the two of them and followed Xingtian with a determined look in his eyes. He had no fear, and the people in front of him gave him enough courage to follow him, and everything seemed to be solved, and they were born together. Although he is not a brother, he is now better than a brother.

Xingtian and Ares settled in the orphan shelter, where they spent three years, and as the Earth was on the verge of collapse, everyone began to turn their attention to space. So now the earth is basically rescue and resettlement, vigorously develop space technology. In the past three years, they have learned to survive and fight in space, because there are few surviving humans, so the government has changed the military education of the reserve to 16 years old, and all school-age young people must participate, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that teenagers, except for those with disabilities. Ares looked older, so he attended the school at the minimum required age, and the school basically didn't consider age as long as he wanted to, as long as it wasn't too bad. And in his heart, as long as he follows Xingtian, everything is not a problem. In Xingtian's heart, only a strong army can defend peace and protect mankind. He is studying hard for this goal. After three years of study, they have mastered the basic knowledge of space survival and the common sense of space combat, and Xingtian and Ares have also taken basic courses for regular troops such as command and coordination of space forces. It's not easy for teenage kids to understand these things, but they not only understand them, but they also learn them well. This made the reservist principals very happy, and also made some military leaders interested in them and decided to focus on training.

At this time, the lunar base was still in preparation, because people still had a lot of fear of space in their hearts. It takes a lot of technicians, and it also needs a lot of space forces to protect. The first is to prevent accidents, and the second is to protect technicians from being sabotaged by anti-government terrorists. As a result of the world war, almost all regular troops were destroyed by nuclear bombs, not to mention the Space Forces. After 3 years of military education in the reserves, Xingtian and Ares were sent to the Military Academy of Earth and Space for further education. What awaits them is a stricter and more brutal education, but it is also destined to be the starting point for them to shine on all mankind. At the Space Military Academy, they became qualified space soldiers, and the two of them also established a high prestige among the cadets of the whole school by virtue of their individual strength. So much so that when they graduated 6 years later, they had become the leaders of the first batch of graduates, and under the recommendation of the principal, Xingtian directly became the squadron leader of the first squadron of the first squadron of the first group of the Lunar Synchronous Orbit Guardian Space Fleet composed of the first batch of cadets, with Ares as the deputy captain.

Haven't heard from Alice yet? Xingtian asked Ares, who shook his head, turned around and picked up his luggage and boarded the space patrol ship Hope. Xing Tian glanced at the sky and the earth, and also boarded the ship.
