(Just came back from Chengdu, updated normally tomorrow.) ）

While Lin Youde and General Kirk were talking, the Resistance soldiers who participated in the final battle were also "licking their wounds".

In the USS Constitution hangar, the number of combat boats was reduced by more than half, and most of the hangars were empty, looking particularly empty.

The captain of the USS Constitution Air Force inspects the returning soldiers.

"Yes, I'm halfway back." He nodded and said, "I am sad and happy now, sad that so many people have not seen the scene of victory, and I am glad that it is all over." ”

He paused and said in a deep tone, "1410 days and nights are finally over. ”

"Captain, we've only been fighting for a year and a half." The vice-captain reminded.

"I know, it's an old movie line, you bastard! For the past year or so, I have been a commander and a captain of the air team, and now I am going to resume my job and become a university professor, a professor in the Department of Film and Television Arts. ”

"Isn't it a music professor?" A recruit asked strangely.

"Film and television is an art that relies heavily on soundtracks, so I also studied music. Well, as I told you before, when war comes, it will go, and only music will last forever. Now let's enjoy the music! ”

"Is that good?" Someone asked suspiciously, glancing at the empty hangar.

"What did they die for?" The captain asked, "It's so that we can play music happily, so now we have to play music and sing, and this is the best way to pay tribute to them." Here, the ground crew brings the instruments! ”

The pilots looked at each other, and then the "practiced" pilots came out of the ranks and took the instruments from the engineers.

Soon a small orchestra was formed on the empty half of the hangar deck. The captain glanced at the small band and sighed, "It's a pity that the lead guitar and mandolin are missing." ”

Then he raised his hands and made a gesture of preparation to command, and after confirming that everyone was ready, he began to wave his hands to command.

Music then played in the hangar.

Everyone stopped. Listening to this melody, no officer rushed out to urge everyone to work harder - the war has come to an end, and no one will think it is a bad thing to relax a little.

After the prelude, the captain was the first to speak: "Please carry us out of the ruins, say goodbye to our beloved tanks, and let the artillery salvo chariots line up for our last ride." ”

"There are no tanks in space warfare!" Someone shouted, sparking a burst of laughter.

The laughter was fleeting, and everyone was immersed in the solemn atmosphere created by the music.

"Bad news came from the merciless telegram. The relatives were heartbroken and sad, and everyone understood that their son had left and that he could never return to his hometown. ”

Someone downloaded the score for the old song -- "Tanks Roar in the Field" -- and sang along.

Soon, everyone joined the chorus.

Instead, the captain kept his mouth shut and concentrated on directing everyone.

Suddenly, he seemed to see figures appear on the empty half of the hangar deck, shrouded in a faint light, and they were lined up to watch the survivors who were singing together.

The captain blinked. The illusion did not go away, but he used Markov's overlapping mental system to confirm all the equipment in the entire hangar. Nothing has been found to cause this phenomenon - all holographic projectors are turned off.

The captain's perception also clearly told him that there was nothing there, and that his psionic abilities had not detected any psychic attacks.

But the figures were standing there.

He knew them because they were his men. He can remember everyone's nicknames: Black-eyed Girl, Grasshopper, Xiaoqiang......

He remembers everyone's smiling faces, and remembers the scene where he congratulated them on surviving the first battle.

The captain accidentally bit his lip, but he didn't have time to manipulate the nanomachine to seal the wound, because all his attention was on his eyes. On the one hand, it is necessary to repeatedly confirm the scene you see, and on the other hand, it is necessary to suppress the tears that are about to burst out of your eyes.

They are there.

They also saw the victory and heard the song of victory.

Whoever did it, the captain was immensely grateful to him at this moment.

Because of this moment, he knew that he had been redeemed for the rest of his life. Never be overwhelmed by guilt and self-blame again.

**

At the same time, the Constitution's intranet was filled with posts of glowing figures, some seeing their dead lovers, some seeing the chief who died to save them, and some remeeting their four brothers who had died in battle.

The gendarmes of the USS Constitution immediately reacted, taking these as spiritual attacks and began to search for the source.

Then they found out that this phenomenon seemed to occur only on the USS Constitution and the next USS Victory.

The only thing the two ships have in common is that they are very close to the Enterprise.

**

On the Enterprise Account, Soya's human-machine interface is staring at the core of the super-civilized soul network that glows.

Although the Enterprise was always fighting, Sawa never stopped working on fixing this thing - it was not a problem for the Oudwell to repair it at the same time in the middle of the war, and the multi-threaded processing power of the people was just that.

She had already restored the core to its normal form using "parts" taken from the Forsaken using the "parts" she had obtained from the Forsaken of the Swallowers, and was testing its functionality at this time.

At this time, Lin Youde sent a contact.

"Soya, what are you doing over there?"

"Well, I'm testing the relics that have just been restored, and I haven't come up with useful conclusions yet."

"That's useful, stop testing first, and I'll send you the report here."

"......" Sawa was silent.

"This is the commander's order, stop the test, now, right away."

"Understood."

Sawa stopped testing.

**

After getting Soya's reply, Lin Youde breathed a sigh of relief.

[That thing, it has something to do with Ascension, right?] 】

[Theoretically, its final version is the real ascension device, but the conditions for ascension are very complicated, and it does not mean that you can fly after completing the device.] Just like the description in your immortal cultivation novels, no matter how well prepared you are, immortal cultivators may burp during the tribulation and not be able to ascend. 】

I see.

Lin Youde began to think about how to explain to Soya - and then he realized that he didn't need to explain, just summarize the phenomenon that happened here, and throw it to Soya for her to figure it out for herself.

**

After the commotion, Lin Youde led the Enterprise to pull anchor again.

After visiting the hometowns of several of the Enterprise's crew members in accordance with their proximity and proximity, the Enterprise arrived at Enleko's hometown, just in time to meet the Hell paratroopers who had just completed the task of suppressing power on the ground.

At the end of the Enterprise's warp speed, the nervous cruiser William D Porter was hit head-on - the Porter used the Enterprise as an Imperial warship to support the remnants of the local Empire.

If you think about it, you don't blame the Porter, the flight plan of the Enterprise didn't even know about the Resistance Command, and it was not at all strange that it was attacked by someone as an Imperial fleet. (To be continued.) )
