While Bruce was making elaborate arrangements for the rendezvous, more than 200 million kilometers away, a starship much larger than Atlantis was speeding towards Proxima Centauri at a speed of 5,000 kilometers per second. At this moment, it has one more goal, that is, to catch up with the Atlantis, to accompany it, so that it is no longer lonely and lonely.

"Wanhu" is an interstellar manned voyage launched by the Earth Federation in the year 805 of the ephemeris, and is the product of the largest voyage program in the history of mankind - Proxima 2. At that time, the Earth Federation poured all its efforts into building three sister ships, the first two of which exploded and one was seriously damaged, and none of them could successfully enter the passage to Proxima Centauri. Only the "Wanhu" finally succeeded, and it carried too many expectations of human beings.

It can be said that the pace of mankind towards the universe is slow and difficult. From the many space shuttle explosions in the 20th century to the ill-fated Proxima Centauri project during the ephemeris, they all represent the efforts and sacrifices made by mankind to this end. However, for the survival and reproduction of human beings and the continuation of civilization, the spirit of exploration of human beings will never disappear, and the footsteps of human beings will never stop.

The design of the "Manho" is very different from that of the Atlantis. Due to the long construction period and the lack of technology to develop energy shields, the Atlantis uses a streamlined hull to prevent fatal damage from external impacts, and at the same time, it also takes up a lot of space inside to fill explosion-proof materials, resulting in a small internal space, which can only accommodate about 500,000 people, which greatly limits its development.

And the construction of the "Wanhu" has been more than 700 years later. The accumulation and breakthrough of more than 700 years of technology have made the "Wanhu" much better in terms of hull protection capability and sailing speed. The new crystal steel alloy greatly increases the hardness and toughness of the starship's armor, which, in combination with the energy shield, can ignore the impact of almost any object with a diameter of less than ten meters; Large objects are directly handed over to the shaped cannon in the bow to be destroyed. Due to the security provided by the protection technology, the "Wanhu" is designed in the shape of a scorpion with an aesthetic sense of beauty, and in front of the huge scorpion body are two high claws, which look powerful and powerful.

And the high development of the engine manufacturing technology of the Earth Federation starship is also vividly reflected in the "Wanhu". Although it also uses liquid hydrogen for nuclear fusion reactions, its engine is smaller and more energy-efficient, which makes it easy for the "Wanhu" to increase its speed to an extreme speed of 5,000 kilometers per second.

The space inside the ship is even larger, and with the efficient use of space, more than 5 million residents live in it, and if it were not for the capacity of the ecosystem, it could have lived many more.

In short, in front of the Wanhu, the Atlantis is a fragile little doll that is vulnerable.

At this time, an important meeting was being held in the captain's room of the Manho, which was related to the future and fate of the two starships, especially the Atlantis.

Sitting in the captain's position is a middle-aged man in his 50s, because the time into space is not far away, the transformation of his body is not obvious, he is not very tall, only about 1.85 meters, and the racial characteristics shown on his face are extremely rare, this is the result of more than 1,000 years of ethnic integration on the earth, unlike Atlantis, due to population restrictions, the probability of intermarriage with the ethnic group has increased greatly, so that many people's ethnic and racial characteristics are still relatively obvious, just like Helen, Her curly blond hair makes it easy to tell at once that she is a descendant of the Western nation.

The captain in his 50s spoke standard Chinese: "According to the latest calculations, we will meet the Atlantis in 19 hours." Now we need to determine what kind of attitude we should maintain towards it. Where do we go after the rendezvous? Will we just provide technical support and let them transform the starship on their own, or will we slow down and give it all-round assistance, and then we will go to Proxima Centauri together? ”

"Captain Chen Xinghan, I personally believe that the Atlantis, as a pioneer of human interstellar voyages, has made great sacrifices for mankind, and we should respect it and provide all-round support, so that it can share with us the glory of being the first to land on an alien planet. Besides, we also need it, and its existence can at least make our hearts more stable. An officer in the uniform of a lieutenant general stood up and made an impassioned speech.

"I also agree with Lieutenant General Mawson's opinion that as human beings, we should help each other and help each other in the same boat." These words are concise and to the point, and his people are just like these words, looking tall and thin, shrewd and capable. This person appears to be an official in charge of administrative matters.

"But after all, we have been isolated from them for more than a thousand years, will they be able to accept our ideas? For example, the goal of the interstellar voyage is to build a new home, and we are to obtain resources. Their goals are constructive, while ours are destructive. Will the two sides be able to reconcile? A lieutenant general in an Air Force uniform was skeptical.

"My thoughts are slightly different from those of Lieutenant General Elk, but they are similar. I think helping them will be a waste of our precious time. No one knows how backward their starship technology is, and how long it will take to successfully transform it. What if it takes two years, or even five or ten years, to spend our precious time and precious resources on a junk starship? I want to set foot on a beautiful alien planet in my lifetime. Chief of Staff Colnan, who is the person of Starship Two, also raised objections.

"But, after all, it's our compatriots!"

"It's ridiculous to talk about human feelings in such a dangerous universe, General Mawson, put away your worthless sympathy!" Colnan said in a sarcastic tone.

"If you don't have feelings, are you still human?" Lieutenant General Mawson blushed and retorted loudly.

"What are you? Is it a personal attack on a boss? Colnan was also angry, and said with a grim face.

Seeing that a melee was about to start, General Chen Xinghan hurriedly slapped the table and shouted, "What are you doing here? Is there anything you have to talk about? Is there still a general? ”

The scene that was about to stage a full martial arts trip suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Chen Xinghan in surprise, this captain has been very gentle since he took office, and he has never made such a drastic move.

"Since there is such a big difference of opinion among you, then we can only put this issue on hold for now, and wait for the rendezvous with the Atlantis, and then decide according to the actual situation." Chen Xinghan finally made a decision. Although there is a suspicion of a little mud, in such a heated debate, it is also a good way to ease the emotions of all parties.

"Of course, according to the interstellar voyage regulations of the Wanhu, in any case of slowing down or stopping and suspension, the entire starship must be on first-level alert to prevent accidents. The two commanders were fully responsible for the protection of the starship. It is estimated that the other side will send a military exchange group or an inspection group at that time, and Chief of Staff Kollnan will be responsible for receiving them, and you can first hand over some less sensitive and non-critical technologies to them to see if they can digest and absorb them. ”

"As for me, I will definitely have some meetings with the captain of the other side to discuss some important issues. My safety is the responsibility of the Captain's Guard. I don't think the other party will have any unfavorable intentions against me. Chen Xinghan said very easily.

His idea was obviously correct, no matter how you look at it, the Atlantis could not have the idea of opposing the Wanhu. But what he didn't expect was that the danger of the Wanhu did not come from the weak Atlantis, but from his side!
