Year 2660

The unmanned VTOL drove away from the asteroid inside the recruit training base and rushed into the universe, through several layers of reinforced transparent glass portholes, Ankang saw a huge planet, in this planet with earthy yellow and white as the main color of an eye-like pattern is very obvious.

"Ah, this, could it be a Jupiter flare?"

As an era from which gravity binds the soul, Turtle Ankang has never had the opportunity to see one of Jupiter's most famous scenery with the naked eye at such a close distance, or he should be the first person in the 21st century to personally observe Jupiter's flares with the naked eye.

Although he had also taken a spacecraft into a recruit training base inside one of Jupiter's moons, he had no chance to see space at all because the spacecraft was a fully enclosed crew compartment at that time.

However, now he has the opportunity he dreamed of, and naturally leaned on the small porthole to watch the scene in space, and the unmanned VTOL seemed to be very "intimate", RCS slightly started to adjust the position of the porthole to a better angle to view space.

From this point of view, not only can you see the Great Flare of Jupiter, but with the stronger eyesight after the crossing, Ankang can also see a long ship.

"Could this be a space battleship?"

With a hint of intoxication, An Kang stared at the ship that seemed to him to be very beautiful and smooth, but in the next blink of an eye, the ship that was definitely not small suddenly turned into an afterimage and rushed into the depths of the universe and disappeared into An Kang's eyes.

Jump? Hyperspace voyages? Space jumping? Warp speed?

It was the first time that a scene in science fiction was so close to Ankang, but just as he was calming down and ready to continue admiring the beautiful flare of Jupiter, he suddenly felt a shock to the hull of the ship, and then Jupiter suddenly moved away from Ankang's sight and became an object the size of a bean, and then even the starlight in normal cosmic space could not be seen.

Looking back, Ankang found that the display in the VTOL cabin showed the words "Enter Jump".

"Is this the jump, it doesn't feel like anything out of the ordinary." Ankang sat back in her seat, closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap.

Ankang closed his eyes slightly, and then the hull shook again.

An Kang, who opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked out the window.

Although he didn't see any natural celestial objects because of the angle, the familiar starry sky and several very large spaceships that he knew at a glance were civilian ships let An Kang know that he had entered the normal space from the transition state.

With a slight bump, the unmanned VTOL changed orbit again, and this time the angle of the porthole was aimed at letting Ankang know where he had been.

This scene is very classic, Ankang has seen similar pictures in major SF works or other places in the 21st century - the blue human home planet, the Earth, slowly emerging from the far side of the moon in the eternal night, and the edge of the moon is imprinted with a layer of bright white light wheels under the illumination of the sun.

However, it is said that this era is 2660.

Therefore, the far side of the moon in Eternal Night actually has a city agglomeration, although the dome of the urban agglomeration blocks the artificial sun inside, but every once in a while, there are always some cities that unfold the dome to expose the city under the dome that is illuminated at night by colored lights.

And the dome has its own light source belt for the spacecraft to navigate, and beautify the environment by the way.

The artificial rings that orbit the moon also have a light source, so the far side of the moon is not too dark from a well-being perspective. What's more, as a legal entry point for the Earth-Moon system, the shipping routes near the moon have always been very busy, and the spaceship also has a light source.

The beautiful space scene didn't take long to see before Ankang felt the spaceship descending rapidly. He saw the spaceship skim over the star ring, past the civilian ships that were not very fast, and then sailed into a large dome, at least a very large dome in Ankang's eyes.

In this military base, VTOL's automatic cruise system prompted him on Ankang's PDA to enter this base for supply and maintenance, and will automatically depart on time in fifteen minutes, so Ankang only plans to go to the bathroom, after all, this VTOL is only the size of an airplane, and there is no independent bathroom.

When the rear hatch opened, a young man with a PDA who was directing several drones to overhaul and replenish the VTOL looked up at Ankang.

Ankang saw that the other party's military rank was a technical corporal in a light yellow light nano suit, and immediately saluted, and the other party also put down the PDA and returned a salute, and then pointed to the cabin with a smile and said, "There is still only one person this year?" ”

Ankang, who had just stepped out of the hatch, was a little confused when he heard this: "Alone? ”

"Yes, there are not many recruits who have been replenished to the Earth Planetary Defense Force Army in the past two years, usually one is sent by a transport plane, you must know that the transport planes of troops in other places to transport recruits are full of recruits who want to go, only the Earth's Planetary Defense Force rarely has this situation, after all, it has been peaceful for so many years."

The technical corporal picked up the PDA again, then pointed to the light screen behind him and said, "Follow the light screen to the bathroom, remember to be faster, there are still 13 minutes left, you must know that simple AI will not wait for anyone." ”

"Understood."

Ankang didn't ask much, and quickly ran to the bathroom, because he felt that he would have time to learn about various things when he arrived in the army in the future.

Thirteen minutes later, Ankang, who had re-boarded the VTOL, looked through the porthole at the empty hangar without many vehicles and the technical corporal who waved goodbye to him, and he still had a little doubt.

The Earth is the home planet of mankind, so shouldn't there be a large number of troops stationed in military bases near the Earth? Could it be that we are not human beings and proud of the universe? Or is your concept still too outdated and backward?

Although there are such and such doubts, but when the VTOL is quickly projected to the earth's star ring after the acceleration position, all the doubts are pressed to the deepest part of the mind by the extremely high and speed, after all, Ankang is still a "primitive person" in essence, plus this kind of VTOL that has been in service since the last century is definitely not as good as a large ship or a new type of transport aircraft in terms of anti-G, so Ankang almost vomited.

But perhaps because of the good body he had trained for three months, he quickly adapted to it after a short period of acceleration.

Watching the mother planet approach little by little, Ankang's mood couldn't help but become better, which is a very mysterious thing. Obviously, Ankang is essentially a visitor from the 21st century who has never been out of the earth and does not have a strong concept of a hometown planet, but looking at the blue home planet Earth, he still feels very comfortable - the earth, which is very pleasing to the eye.

This is the most intuitive feeling, after watching Jupiter and the Moon, Ankang felt this for the first time when he turned his attention to the earth again.

It's just that he may never be able to go back.

Touching the pendant on his chest that was blocked by the nanosuit and looking at the earth, Ankang suddenly felt his nose astringent, pursed his lips, wiped away a little of the tears that flowed from his eyes, and closed his eyes to feel the deceleration of the spaceship.
