Chapter 231 Preparation (II)

"Grandpa! What are you doing here? ”

"We want you to raise your hand and agree that we will return to the solar system with the fleet. You know, grandpa's greatest wish is to be able to see the earth, see the place where our ancestors lived, and see the holy place where mankind originated! ”

"But, Grandpa, you know, this time it's not as simple as returning to Earth. It is quite possible that something unexpected will happen in it, and even the possibility of war cannot be ruled out. So, I can't agree more! I don't dare to agree either! Helen rejected the old man's request very directly. It's not that she doesn't feel sorry for her grandfather, but the surname of this operation does not allow it.

"What? You girl! When the wings grow stiff, you won't listen to your grandfather, will you? This is grandpa's last wish, and it is also the last wish of all the old guys here, can't you be accommodating? Bruce was a little upset. Lin Feng is a little slippery head, this granddaughter who has grown up by himself also comes to this set, isn't this deliberately letting himself leave with regrets?

"Grandpa, don't be angry! If you go, it will distract everyone and take care of it, which will not be good for the fleet's operations. Please be patient, for perhaps it will only take a few months for the situation in the solar system to calm down. When the time comes, I will definitely let you go back. And, when you go back, you might need to make use of your spare heat. Helen racked her brains and said everything she could think of, which made Bruce and the others feel a little satisfied and no longer bothered her.

"Alright! You have to talk to Lin Feng's muddy boy. Otherwise, don't look at grandpa, I'm old, and I can still carry a stick! Bruce said with a smile, but his tone was full of threat.

……

It wasn't until the old man cut off the communication that Helen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was clever enough to convince them in a few words. This Fengzi, why do you keep pushing these troubles to my side? No, I have to find time to talk to him.

I was thinking about it, but I heard my smartwatch beep to call. "Who is this? Don't let people calm down! Helen muttered, and the communication was connected.

On the holographic virtual screen, Zhang Zhichao and his group of brothers appeared, and when they saw Helen, their faces showed expectant and even flattering expressions.

"Sister-in-law...... Chief of staff! Zhang Zhichao was accustomed to calling Helen by his surname, but he suddenly found that it was wrong, and now when he talks about business, he has to use the title of a formal occasion.

Helen didn't care. However, she still has a good impression of Lin Feng's brothers. So he asked very kindly, "Oh, it's you!" Do you want to come through the back door? ”

"Through the back door? Ah, no, no, no! How can this be? We're going to go through the front door, don't you think? Zhang Zhichao was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied smartly.

"Hey, I said Zhang Zhichao, didn't you say that you came to find your sister-in-law...... Looking for the chief of staff to go through the back door? Next to him, Cha Peng, who had a straightforward face, asked weakly.

"Shut up!" Zhang Zhichao glanced at Cha Peng, and then said to Helen with a smile: "Chief of Staff, that's the case, we heard that Commander Lin and you will be the first to dispatch as the commander of the advance fleet. I'm thinking, the boss and your safety, but the stakes are very important, and you can't be sloppy at all. And the few of us and the boss have been training and fighting together since the beginning of the recruits, and we know the boss very well. Besides, you're in charge of selecting people. So, a few of us volunteered to come to Mao...... Mao ......" Zhang Zhichao suddenly couldn't remember how to say that word, and scratched his head in a hurry. "It's Mao Sui's self-recommendation!" A voice reminded him, "Oh, yes, yes! It's self-recommendation! We came to Mao Sui and asked to serve as a guard for the command of the advance fleet! Zhang Zhichao's words slipped a lot, just like setting off firecrackers, crackling, and bursting in one fell swoop.

"Well, I'll have to wait until I ask the commander." Helen smiled and didn't reject them outright. In fact, she already knew that these brothers had already entered the list drawn up by the central computer, but it had not yet been announced. She did this just to embarrass Lin Feng.

"Don't ask me!" A voice sounded abruptly in the doorway. Helen looked at it, but said that Cao **Cao ** arrived, Lin Feng was standing by the door with a smile, "You don't know their strength Helen." Even among the super soldiers, it is also the top croak. If they can't go, how many more can! ”

"Oh yes, Boss agreed!" On the holographic virtual screen, several guys screamed excitedly, and Chapong even twisted **, which made Helen couldn't help laughing.

Finally stopped laughing, and Helen said with a straight face: "Your Excellency, you left this matter to me, and now you can't interfere with my work!" Whether they can go or not, it's up to me to decide! ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately touched his nose in embarrassment, "Yes, I'm acting as a substitute." Well, whatever you decide, I respect! ”

"Hey......" The guys sighed when they heard it. It's hard to go to Earth now.

"In view of your performance, the chief of staff has decided that Zhang Zhichao, Chapong, Charles, Pete and other twelve people, all ......" Helen deliberately lengthened her voice, which made the hearts of the brothers raise high.

"All into the advance fleet! Zhang Zhichao, Chapong, and Charles each serve as the captain of a starship! Responsible for the safety of the arch guard's flagship! ”

……

Ten days later, all the preparations for the expedition were complete!

This day is July 10, 1026 in the ephemeris. At 10 a.m., the 40 starships started their engines at the same time and began to prepare for liftoff.

These forty starships were selected by Helen after repeated measurements. Based on the possibility that the Earth family might have large starships, the fleet command decided to use the Atlantis as the flagship. If Wanhu is chosen, the pressure on the "Stargate" space channel exciter will be greater. Therefore, the Atlantis was chosen, which was much smaller in size. Of course, with its protective capabilities and attack power, it should be able to competently fight with such intensity and accomplish the set goals.

The Atlantis was the first to take to the skies. The power of the starship's main engine gradually increased, and the huge thrust slowly lifted the beast-like ship, and then, the engine suddenly erupted a powerful air current, and the speed of the starship quickly reached the initial velocity of breaking free from the gravitational pull of Aden under the effect of afterburner. In less than a minute, the Atlantis had disappeared from view.

After successful liftoff, the Atlantis hovered in a predetermined airspace, where it will wait for the arrival of another thirty-nine starships, and then go together to the space base 100 million kilometers away.

100 million kilometers away, in the airspace in the direction of the Earth, two starships are hovering at this time. The two ships are separated by no more than 300,000 kilometers. And in the middle of them, a huge and thick ring-shaped celestial body floats silently, that is, the "Stargate" space channel excitation device that the fleet has painstakingly researched and built after six years of painstaking research.

This device looks so insignificant from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, but in fact, its inner ring has a diameter of nearly five kilometers, a ring body is nearly one kilometer wide, and a thickness of nearly one kilometer! The cost of making this ring alone is enough to make dozens of medium-sized starships.

The ring is so large that its interior is almost solid. Of course, that means it's not solid. In the center of the ring, there is a groove with a diameter of just over ten centimeters, which has been sealed by an automatically controlled device so that the source energy in it does not leak out.

Yes, this huge circular device contains a large number of source energy crystals. In order to be able to open the space channel smoothly, the fleet can be said to have spared no expense and mobilized the source energy of the reserve by twenty! And these 20% of the source energy reserves can only maintain their normal operation for half a year!

If it had been placed in the past, Lin Feng would definitely be in pain for such a big deal. But now he already has a mini black hole battery that can never be consumed! As long as the subspace inside this battery does not collapse, then it will be able to continuously produce an unimaginably large amount of electricity. Therefore, for the source energy of consumables, Lin Feng is no longer as competitive as he was at the beginning. (To be continued.) )
