After Xin Lin returned to Tianjing, he didn't pay attention to the Ji family's affairs.

He didn't take it to heart about the compensation that the Ji family said, and only asked Ge Long to come forward to talk with Qi Lingwei, and what the final result of the negotiation was Qi Lingwei's own business, as long as she was willing to accept it.

Ji Xingxian never mentioned this matter again, she was busy with the development and production of warp engines all day long, and the rumors gradually came out, and many of the largest shipbuilding companies in the federation also spoke out frequently, and many people realized that there was an epoch-making product release soon.

Such a big thing affects all aspects of the federation, and even the development process, which requires countless manpower to promote, and it is impossible to bypass the cooperation between the federal government and the military, and it cannot be concealed for a long time.

Ji Xingxian can do such a good job of secrecy, reverse engineering research for more than 30 years without leaking, this is already a miracle, thanks to her psychic ability, regularly secretly do spiritual monitoring of the R&D team, prevent the slightest, and eliminate ill-intentioned people.

However, before the official announcement of the Star Frost Group, only a few people knew the inside story, and only guessed.

All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent of all walks of life in the Federation, and rumors were flying all over the sky.

Some people even went to Xin Lin here through their connections, knocked on his side, and asked for news. Naturally, he didn't talk nonsense, he just buried his head in cultivation and didn't have any response.

Half a month later, Xin Lin noticed his father Xin Yu approaching while practicing, and stood outside the door of the cultivation room with a hesitant expression, and did not knock on the door for a long time.

He went over to open the door and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

"You came out just in time." Xin Yu's expression was relieved, "Mr. Gao of the Martial God Clan looked for you, because you couldn't get through to the phone during your cultivation, so you came to me." ”

"Gao Yangshuo?" Xin Xiao asked a little strangely, "What can he do with me?" ”

Xin Lin remembered this person, who inexplicably used the champion to sign himself at the draft conference, and then transferred 5% of the shares of the Martial God Club at a low price, just to make friends with himself. In recent years, I have occasionally been in contact, but because I am often not on the earth, I don't have deep friendships, and I am an ordinary friend.

Xin Yu shook his head and said, "I asked, but he refused to say." However, I think Mr. Gao seems to be in a hurry, and it should be a more important thing. ”

"Okay, I'll get back to him now."

"Talk to him, I'll keep busy." Xin Yu made an excuse and left. Gao Yangshuo was reluctant to say it before, obviously because he was not qualified to know, and now Xin Lian naturally had to avoid calling him.

Xin Lin closed the door of the cultivation room, dialed Gao Yangshuo's phone, and was immediately connected.

Gao Yangshuo's figure is very tall and strong, he has the cultivation of a junior martial saint, and he is also a billionaire in the Federation, and when he used to contact Xin Lian, he would chat a few words first, his expression was very relaxed, and he intersected with Xin Lian's peers.

His hologram was projected, his face was happy, and he said, "Xin Lone, if you don't call me again, I'm going to go to Qinghuo Mansion to find you in person." ”

"What makes Mr. Gao so anxious?" Xin asked suspiciously.

"Emergency." Gao Yangshuo's face became serious, "Actually, it's not me looking for you, it's General Yu, but you can't get through on the phone, so I was entrusted to inform you." ”

"General Yu!" Xin Lin couldn't help but be surprised, "Admiral Yu Xucheng? ”

Gao Yangshuo nodded.

Xin Lone's mind turned sharply, and it suddenly became even more strange.

The name of General Yu Yucheng is known to everyone in the Federation. This is a veteran martial saint, born at the beginning of the twenty-second century AD, almost the earliest batch of Force warriors in the Federation, who has been cultivating for nine hundred years, and has completely experienced the transition from the Earth Age to the Interstellar Age, which can be called a living fossil of the Federation's history.

The cultivation of this martial saint is extremely amazing, he was a martial saint as early as more than seven hundred years ago, his strength is unfathomable, and he ranks second on the federal superman list!

Except for the first-ranked Starflame Grand Karcist, General Yu is the strongest of all Force Warriors in the Federation.

He has a very loud title - the Celestial Sword Master!

The Sword of the Firmament, one of the three elite warbands of the Federation, was created by Yu Yucheng, and he still obeys his leadership and command. In addition, General Yu is also the commander of the First Fleet, stationed on the front line of the Steelmane Empire all the year round, making countless achievements for the Federation, and is the number one hero in the history of the Federation.

Yu Yucheng spent his whole life in the military and dedicated his life to the Federation, which can be described as highly respected and loved by countless citizens.

The highest rank in the federal army is general, and in the past, many members of the federal parliament proposed that General Yu should be awarded the title of federal marshal in view of his great contributions and merits, but Yu Yucheng himself refused. There is only one reason, and that is that he does not want to engage in specialization.

Although he was not a marshal, General Yu's position has not diminished in the slightest, and he has been a member of this supreme military authority since the inception of the Federal Military Council, and he has been untouched for centuries.

The chairman of the Federal Military Commission is also the president, and the rest of the committee members include the vice president, the secretary of defense, the minister of superpower, the commander of the fleet, the chief of the general staff, and a total of nine people, which is the highest decision-making level of the federal army. Over the years, the members of the Military Council have changed batch after batch, and even the president has changed dozens of terms, but only Yu Yucheng has not changed, and he will always occupy one seat.

At present, there are three military representatives who have entered the military council, namely Admiral Yu Yucheng, the Sword Saint of the Firmament, Admiral Hong Jianfeng, the Thunder Saint, and the Grand Karcist General Heinletz Erwin.

All three of them are fleet commanders and concurrently serve as commanders of elite warbands.

The second-ranked Celestial Sword Saint created the Firmament Sword Clan, the eighth-ranked Ben Thunder Martial Saint created the Thunder Clan, and the fifth-ranked Stargazing Grand Karcist created the Stargazer Clan, known as the Military Triumvirate.

Regardless of military exploits, cultivation, and qualifications, Yu Yucheng is the first person in the federal military, and his prestige status is higher than that of the other two giants.

Xin Lin grew up listening to the legendary stories of this sword saint since he was a child, and although he is also a super strong man now, he was inevitably a little surprised and a little excited when he suddenly heard that General Yu was looking for him.

However, he did not lose his cool, thinking that there had always been rumors that Gao Yangshuo had a military background, and now it seems to be true.

"What is General Yu looking for me for?" Xin Xiao asked cautiously.

Gao Yangshuo shook his head: "I don't know, but I should be able to know." If you don't object, give me the authority now and let General Yu join the call, he is already waiting. ”

"Okay." Of course, Xin Lin will not object.

After a few seconds, the holographic screen was divided into two parts, on the left was Gao Yangshuo, and on the right was projected an old man in a black military uniform, the epaulettes on the military uniform were three stars, representing the rank of general, and there was a small golden sword on the left chest, and the hilt was wrapped around Suihe, which was the symbol of the Sword of the Sky warband.

The old man's face is majestic, his hair is gray, he has shown an old state, and there are a few deep wrinkles on his face, but the gaze in his eyes is still extremely sharp, and his pupils are erected like an unearthed sword, and the cold light is restrained, as if he can see the baptism of the years, vicissitudes and powerful.

This is the Firmament Sword Saint Yu Yucheng.

"General Yu." Xin Silent exclaimed.

He sighed secretly in his heart, the lifespan of the Martial Saint is about a thousand years, and Yu Yucheng's age is more than nine hundred years old, and he is already in the twilight of the sunset, if he can't break through to the star powerhouse, he may only have a few decades to live.

But how easy is it to break through to a star powerhouse?

Yu Yucheng's eyes fell on Xin Lone, looked at it seriously, and said approvingly: "Xin Lone, in fact, I have long wanted to meet you, a powerful junior, but unfortunately I have to stay on the front line and can't leave for a day." Rashly asking Yangshuo to contact you today won't bother you, right? ”

Xin Lin hurriedly shook his head, "No, General Yu wants to see me, it's my honor." ”

Yu Yucheng laughed and said, "I won't waste time with you, let's get down to business now." He glanced at Gao Yangshuo and said, "Everything I say next is the top military secret of the Federation, and both of you are qualified to listen to it, but you can't reveal a word to the outside world." ”

"Yes, General." Gao Yangshuo was accustomed to straightening his chest and responding loudly.

Xin Lin also nodded slightly to show understanding.

Yu Yucheng raised his hand and tapped it, and the background behind him changed to reveal a wide bridge, which could be seen from the console that it was a battleship, and the portholes around it were transparent, so that he could directly see the dark space outside, as well as the distant starlight.

However, the most conspicuous thing on the screen is a planet, because I don't know the viewing distance, I can't judge its size, and its shape is similar to Jupiter, it should be a gas giant, shrouded in a thick atmosphere on the surface, constantly rotating and flowing, but you can't see the existence of any moons.

Not far from this planet is its host star, which radiates a faint red light, and the intensity of the sun's light can be seen with the naked eye alone, and anyone with a little astronomical appreciation can conclude that it is a red dwarf.

In the universe, such scenes are very common.

More than seventy percent of the stars in the Milky Way are red dwarfs with planets, and it is almost impossible for life to breed on this gas giant, and if there are no rare resources, it will not be a place for civilized races to compete.

"General, what is this?" Gao Yangshuo asked.

Yu Yucheng looked at the planet and said slowly: "My current location is in the Pleiades star cluster, 417 light years away from Earth, just in the border star field between us and the Steelmane Empire. ”

"Forty days ago, we tracked three warships of the Steelmane Empire to this galaxy, engaged in the space around the planet, and accidentally discovered the secrets of this planet."

"Look."

Yu Yucheng said as he zoomed in on the star map in front of the two of them and showed the data of this galaxy.

The first is the star, which is a red dwarf star with a mass of one-fifth that of the Sun and a brightness of only one-third of the Sun, which is very dim.

This red dwarf star is a member of the Pleiades star cluster, an open cluster of stars that is only 13 light-years away but has more than 3,000 stars, and this red dwarf is the most inconspicuous of them.

If it weren't for the Pleiades being on the front lines of the Federation and the Steelmane Empire, no civilization would have noticed its existence at all.

The red dwarf has only one planet, its diameter is 30,000 kilometers, and its shape should be a Jupiter-like planet, with a fast rotation speed, and it can rotate once in 12 hours. Moreover, it is very close to the red dwarf, only more than 8 million kilometers, so the orbit speed is also very fast, and it can make one revolution in seven days.

In astronomy, this kind of Jupiteroid, which is very close to the star, is called "hot Jupiter", which is generally formed by the migration of planetary orbits, the surface temperature of the planet is extremely high, can reach 1,000 degrees Celsius, and the atmospheric storm is hot and fast, like purgatory.

Hot Jupiter is small in density but large in size.

But this hot Jupiter is a bit of an anomaly, although it has a diameter of 30,000 kilometers, it is much smaller than the average Jupiter-like planet. You must know that the diameter of Jupiteroids is generally more than 100,000 kilometers, and it is not uncommon to reach 200,000 or even 300,000 kilometers, because it is mainly composed of gas, so the density is very low.

However, the density of this planet is high, comparable to that of a solid terrestrial planet.

In other words, its atmosphere may be just camouflage, and it may have a huge, solid core beneath the thick atmosphere, and it has formed a gravitational pull five times that of the Earth.

Xin Lin and Gao Yangshuo understood at once that this planet was by no means as simple as it seemed.

Yu Yucheng played a video to the two. This was the situation of the war between the Federation and the Steelmane Empire at that time, the Federation warships had an absolute advantage in fighting more and less, and one of the battleships of the Steelmane Empire was broken through the shield and suffered heavy damage, so they wanted to escape into the atmosphere of Hot Jupiter to avoid the attack.

This is not uncommon in interstellar warfare, the atmosphere of gaseous planets is also weak to strong from top to bottom, the density of the uppermost layer is small, the temperature and danger are not great, hiding in it can hide your whereabouts, atmospheric storms can also interfere with electromagnetic signals.

There is even an example of an entire fleet hiding in the atmosphere waiting for an opportunity to successfully sneak up on the enemy.

On the screen, after the battleship of the Steelmane Empire entered the atmosphere, the hull shell immediately rubbed out blazing flames, and the air flow within a radius of more than ten kilometers boiled like an oil pot, and hundreds of tornadoes that were thousands of meters long could be vaguely seen, attacking the battleship from all directions and invading the inside of the battleship.

"This ......," Gao Yangshuo gasped.

Xin Silence is also solemn, the atmosphere of Jupiter will not be so violent, causing such a violent chain reaction, it looks like there is an unknown force manipulating the storm, and the battleship has been attacked by foreign objects.

The battleship emitted a series of explosions, quickly lost power, was captured by the planet's gravity, and dragged down.

However, the attack was far from over, and it became more and more ferocious, in just one minute, the battleship was dismantled into countless fragments, and finally the nuclear power furnace was detonated, and the violent shock wave pushed the atmosphere open to form a cavity more than ten kilometers in diameter.

At this moment, a vague scene was faintly revealed under the hollow, colorful, clear water and green mountains!

The void only lasted for a few seconds before it recovered, but with this glance alone, even the most slow person could guess that beneath this terrifying storm layer, there was a huge new world, and an entire ecosystem might have been reproduced!

Xin Lin and Gao Yangshuo were both taken aback, which was also amazing.
