"Lin Feng, are you saying that the earth has received the communication signal we have transmitted nearly twenty years ago?" Helen looked at Lin Feng, her eyes showing a look of confusion.

"I think that's how it should be!"

"But I don't understand. First, why didn't the earth contact us in time after receiving the signal? In the past, because of the loss of contact, they could not accurately grasp our route and could not do it. But when we have already contacted them, why not reach out to us to inform us that we have such a fleet departing? ”

"Second, in recent years, we have been transmitting pulse signals in the direction of the earth, and if this fleet has been on the right course, it should be able to receive it, but why didn't they contact us at the first time, but instead began to transmit signals to unfixed targets in the Proxima Centauri field when they were so close? Could there be any problems with this? ”

Lin Feng frowned slightly, and seemed to recognize the strangeness in it. After thinking for a while, he turned to Schneider and said, "You immediately organize communication experts to decipher these pulse signals and confirm their origins; Immediately point the telecomm in the direction of the fleet and make uninterrupted contact to ask them about their identity and purpose! If they need route information, let them know too! ”

"Oh, and also, you can accurately analyze the speed of the opponent based on the time interval and intensity change data of multiple signal receptions, so as to roughly estimate the time for the opponent to arrive in Proxima Centauri. It seems that we are going to get ready to welcome the guests of the earth. When he said the last sentence, Lin Feng's face had a joyless and carefree expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Well, that's it for now! You can relax a little in other aspects during this time, but you must know everything about this fleet! If there is any situation, you can go directly to me and the chief of staff! Helen, let's go! After Lin Feng finished speaking, he walked out of the intelligence department with Helen.

Looking at Lin Feng's calm expression, there was no joy and excitement at all about to usher in reinforcements, and Helen also became serious.

"Lin Feng, what are you worried about? Let's talk about it, is it the same as I thought. ”

"Remember the last battle against Amazon?" Lin Feng asked thoughtfully.

"Remember! It's something I'll never forget. ”

"Do you remember what Colnan said before he detonated the energy capsule?"

"I can't remember the exact words. But there is still an impression of the general meaning. What he said was probably that we should not believe those politicians in the Earth Federation, saying that they are a bunch of flies chasing fame and fortune, conspirators with knives in their smiles, and ...... Oh, by the way, and say they're executioners who kill people without blinking. ”

"What do you think of what he said?" Lin Feng asked Helen rhetorically.

"I also hated Colnan very much at the beginning, and my grandfather was a very loyal person to the Federation, so under his influence, of course I would not take these words seriously. But these doubts in front of me can't help but make people suspicious...... "Helen hesitated, not knowing whether to say what she thought.

"Oh, what do you suspect?" Lin Feng looked at Helen with interest. It should be said that Helen is worthy of being born in a military family, and her vision is still very vicious, and she often analyzes things to the point.

"I suspect that this fleet is unkind!"

"Huh! This kind of unfounded suspicion is not what a fleet chief of staff should have, and it will have a bad effect. Helen, let go of the doubts in your heart and get ready to welcome the guests seriously! There was a faint hint in Lin Feng's words, the two had been together for so long, and Helen could certainly understand it.

"Of course, I will arrange it very carefully. Guaranteed to make them feel at home! Helen also said sharply.

……

The next day, as soon as there was a glimmer of light in the sky of Aden, Vice Admiral Schneider hurriedly came to the headquarters and reported the information about the mysterious fleet to Lin Feng.

"Based on the analysis of the changes in the strength of the pulse signal, it can be determined that this fleet is approaching Proxima Centauri at a speed of 150,000 kilometers per second! The estimated time of arrival is fourteen days later! Because the signals received each time are incomplete and intermittent, it is very difficult to decipher its contents, and the following points can only be determined at present: first, its fleet is relatively large, with 100 medium-sized starships; Second, the commander of the fleet is named Richard? Rockefeller, the rank of general personally awarded by the President of the Earth Federation; 3. According to them, this time they brought a large number of supplies and civilians to the next star field to participate in the pioneer plan, and I hope we can cooperate! ”

Lin Feng listened quietly to Schneider's report, weighing the value of this information in his heart. A hundred medium-sized starships, the scale is not large, but in front of their own two starships, they still have a numerical advantage. If they really wanted to come to the aid of the Combined Fleet, it would be the strongest support the Pioneer Fleet had ever received, and certainly something to celebrate; But if they are not just for assistance, but have another purpose, with ill intentions, coveting the rich resources of Aden, then they will inevitably have a fierce conflict with the pioneer fleet, and at that time, all they can rely on is the super combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Lin Feng didn't think about using the most effective killer weapon of the fleet, the Annihilation Cannon, but after all, they were human beings like himself, and they didn't have the so-called hatred, besides, the Annihilation Cannon was too big for the energy consumption, and it would be a bit wasteful to use it on such an occasion! And the armed soldiers, and the soldiers of the Federation fleet that have not been baptized by war and disaster, their combat effectiveness is really not the same.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's heart felt a little more confident. He believes in his fighters, and after years of intensive training, each fighter has improved tremendously, and nearly eighty percent of them have entered the ranks of super soldiers. With such a force, even if it encounters an opponent ten times its own, it will be able to win the battle.

At the same time, he also had a kind of anticipation for the arrival of this fleet. What if, those thoughts of yourself are the hearts of villains? No matter what the Earth Federation says, it also represents the interests of tens of billions of human beings. Moreover, the crew carried by the fleet is not a great help to open up the planet Aden, and it must be put to good use.

Because he knew the true intentions of that fleet, Lin Feng thought about it, but he still couldn't get the point. In the end, he simply didn't want to. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! In any case, this is a fleet from Earth, and no matter what angle it is, I have to make a gesture of warm welcome. After all, their attitude is not something they can decide for themselves. At that time, there is only one thing you need to do - see the move!

……

On May 22, 1020, all the soldiers and civilians of the Earth Federation Interstellar Pioneer Fleet learned of this heavy news from the fleet headquarters! When they learned that a fleet from Earth was about to enter Proxima Centauri and come to support themselves who were fighting alone in the vast space, all of them were stunned for a while! Even the Predators, who had no fear in the face of death, shed tears! These tears contain many complex and strange emotions, maybe there is excitement, maybe there is bitterness, maybe they are like an abandoned child who has returned to his relatives, and has relied on them again! No matter how many generations have passed, no matter how far they have wandered, the earth will always be their spiritual home! (To be continued.) )
