Chapter 238: A Thousand Years Have Been in the World
Shi Bei Sanri was impressed, talking about the current development speed of the Earth Fleet, Ye Hongwen and the others were immersed in their own small world before, and did not care too much about the surrounding environment, and when they came back to their senses and noticed this, they were surprised to find that the development of the Earth Fleet was simply too surprising.

I saw that the vast star field was full of ships sailing, including large cargo spaceships, small sightseeing spaceships, and long-distance formations preparing to set off.
The ships followed the Authority's demarcated lanes, methodically following the flashing buoy signal lights floating in the void, each going their own way without interfering with each other.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast and mighty force, like a queue of vehicles, running on the highways.
This orderly scene made Ye Hongwen and the others feel a little incredible, and they looked at each other with an indescribable surprise in their hearts.
When did the Earth fleet already have such mature space experience?
You must know that this is still the periphery of the Poseidon base, so many spaceships, how prosperous this must be!
They were full of curiosity in their hearts, why did they feel that the Earth Fleet in front of them was no longer the Earth Fleet they knew when they came back?
"Captain, have we been out for too long and have created a generation gap with the fleet?" Wang Ming turned his head and said speechlessly.
Ye Hongwen shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may be that the Earth Fleet has begun to break out now after decades of precipitation." ”
"That seems to be the only explanation." Bai Tao and the others said approvingly.
At this moment, the voice of the head of the military fleet who had just completed the escort handover came from the public channel: "Hello Hongwen Squad, I am the commander of the Third Fleet in charge of your safety, I am glad that you can return safely, please follow us back to your home port next!" ”
"Captain, I heard you right, it was the Third Fleet that greeted us, and it was the commander of the fleet who spoke to us!" There was a commotion in the team, and Wang Ming couldn't believe it.
As far as they know, at present, the Earth Fleet military has a total of 19 fleets, which are the central flagship numbered "One" and the ordinary fleet numbered from "2" to "19", among which the central flagship is the largest, equivalent to three ordinary fleets.
As for the standard ordinary fleet, each fleet has 20 to 30 civilization-class combat ships, and there are also more than 5,000 comprehensive supply ships and various small auxiliary fleets, which can be regarded as very large.
Ye Hongwen didn't expect that the military fleet escorting them would be so big, but at the moment he didn't see the ships of the entire fleet, and it was estimated that Wang Guan only brought a few warships over, but Rao was also very shocked.
"Commander Wang, thank you for escorting us!" Ye Hongwen came back to his senses and immediately said enthusiastically.
"You're welcome, it's your duty!" The crown replied simply and directly.
What a word of responsibility!
Everyone in the Red Text Squad was touched in their hearts after hearing this, a simple sentence, but it reflected the responsibility of the army to them, and also made them proud to be a member of the Earth Fleet.
Next, there was no word all the way, or each other remained silent.
The spaceship of the Hongwen team, escorted by several military ships led by Wang Guan, gradually approached the Poseidon base, and slowly came to the core circle of civilization. As they got closer, Ye Hongwen found that the inner circle seemed to be more prosperous than the periphery, as if it had come to a big city from the urban-rural junction.
Everywhere you look, you feel dizzying.
"Wow, is this really Poseidon Base? How do I think it's more than ten times bigger! ”
Wang Ming and the others were already dumbfounded, one by one, like Grandma Liu's visit to the Grand View Garden, highlighting a small ideological frame of "no knowledge".
"Captain, you see, there are a lot of ships lined up in front, they won't know that we are coming back and have come to meet us." Turning around, Bai Tao pointed ahead, and suddenly laughed and joked.
Not far away, there were tens of thousands of ships neatly lined up in Hulala, these ships were of different sizes, but they were neatly arranged on both sides, and there was a sense of imposing from a distance.
And the point is, these ships start with battleships, followed by a variety of functional ships, and this grand posture is almost like opening a starship expo.
"Yes, you see, do we look like heroes who have returned triumphantly? Are they greeting us? Wang Ming and the others echoed and laughed.
Ye Hongwen frowned, and said with a smile: "I don't think it's very likely, you see, the rows of spaceships in front of you are roughly estimated to be tens of thousands, and they are all big ships, you look at our side, at best, there are more than a dozen, or small civilian ships, do you think it is necessary to put up tens of thousands of such a huge formation in order to meet us?" ”
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly came back to their senses, as if they were ...... They really take themselves too seriously.
However, they were not discouraged, of course the little people have the consciousness of the little people, so they quickly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that they put on such a big formation to welcome other people?" ”
"Could it be that the high-level of the fleet is returning from a trip?"
"No, it's not that you don't know, the top management of our fleet is very disciplined, and they are usually so low-key, how can they suddenly come out like this?"
"This is strange, instead of greeting the top of the fleet, is it really an expo here?"
Just when everyone in the Hongwen team was puzzled, the voice of the crown sounded in the channel again: "Hongwen team, please pay attention, the channel ahead is in the closed stage, please sail to the right at the signal buoy ahead." ”
"Roger, head to the right fairway......"
The Hongwen team turned right according to the crown's request, and at this time, Ye Hongwen also seized the opportunity to ask the crown: "Commander Wang, I don't know what you are doing with such a big formation in front, is it welcoming important guests?" ”
During the questioning, Ye Hongwen suddenly had a surprising thought, could it be that human civilization has come into contact with alien civilization? It happened that the other party sent a team to visit today, so the Poseidon base was so grandly received?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great possibility, and it seemed that this was the only reason to explain why such a scene was happening in front of him.
"Important guest, well, so to speak." The crown replied with a smile.
"Huh?" Ye Hongwen was surprised.
As if sensing the doubts in Ye Hongwen's heart, Wang Guan said specifically: "You have just returned from Vidak, you may not know many things, in fact, today is the day when the Earth Fleet Federation Branch arrives at the Poseidon Base, isn't it ...... Captain Zhou Chen personally led the leadership of the fleet to greet them here! ”
"Wang ...... Commander Wang, what are you talking about, the fleet of the Federation Branch has arrived in the Poseidon system? After Ye Hongwen heard the news, he asked in shock.
The whole team looked at me, I looked at you, and it became quiet for a while.
"Yes, after twenty years of sailing, they have finally arrived at the Poseidon base. For this reason, the top management of the fleet made an exception for everyone to stand by, by the way, stop ahead, and we lined up together to welcome the arrival of our compatriots. ”
Ignoring the crown's voice, Ye Hongwen and everyone in the entire Hongwen team were already in extreme shock at this time.
Because they clearly remember that before they set sail, the news was still reporting that the federal branch was about to set sail to the Poseidon system to rendezvous with the large army, how could it ...... So soon, they've already arrived?
"Commander Wang, let me ask, what day is it on the new calendar?"
"June 9, 45 years of the new calendar, if converted to the Gregorian calendar, it is June 9, 2100!" The crown said casually.
And sure enough, it was!
Hearing such an answer, Ye Hongwen's heart trembled.
It turns out that before you know it, a full twenty years have passed!
