Chapter 247: Forward Base No. 1
Outside the porthole, you can see two twin companion stars, emitting a golden yellow light, and anyone with a little astronomical knowledge will know that this is the closest Alpha Centauri star A and B to the solar system in the Milky Way, and fact and fiction are always closely linked. (_&book&bar)
Whether it is a human fantasy or a secret hand that controls everything in the dark, the Atlanta Federation, derived from the second civilization of the earth, chose the first stop of the starry sky that returned to its hometown again in this starry sky closest to its hometown.
Pandora, in the fantasy of human beings, is a magical planet, people pin their desire for the deep space universe and their curiosity about the ignorant world on this planet, and at the same time, this planet is depicted as the connection point of the starry civilization.
Human beings born with the same roots seem to have the same preferences, and the scientific and technological personnel of the Atlanta Federation are no exception, and the first large-scale base established in the galaxy is located on the planet Pandora, and at this moment, it is also the first stop for the starfleet led by Lu Fan to return to Earth.
The imagination of human beings has imagined this planet as a magical planet with a blue sky and a sea, and the earth is covered by primeval forests rising from the sky, and there are many strange creatures living in it, but the fact is that the magic box is a fantasy after all, and the endless sand sea also declares that this is a lifeless barren planet.
But now, deep underground in the sand sea, there are many foreign creatures busily shuttling, and the huge sand pit knocked out by meteorites has also been transformed into the entrance and exit of a large spaceship, and now it is opening its deep mouth to welcome the first guests from afar.
"This is the Federation Galactic Forward Base One, please enter the starship to submit the verification information. *book* bar ()" The kind and unfamiliar magnetic female voice was transmitted to the ears of a man and five women.
"Received, I'm Captain Twilight Snow of the Dark Moon Leader Starship Unicorn, please verify the information at your base, and do a good job of welcoming the starship into the port, thank you."
As the ship got closer and closer to the planet, everyone in the command room could see the gray planet with an almost sandy exterior from the visual porthole. The cold and bleak starlight illuminated a large expanse of endless sand sea and sand dunes, and on the surface of the ground were countless ring-shaped craters that had been hit by flying meteorites.
Cold. Dead silence is the specific characteristic of the Barren Star, if it weren't for Lu Fan, they would all know that under the quiet sea of sand. It is a large outpost base of the Federation, and if you change it, everyone else will think that Planet Pandora is just a lifeless death star.
It is already only 4.3 light-years away from the solar system, the birthplace of mankind. It is also the first outpost of the Atlanta Federation to prepare for a major exploration of the vast galaxy.
Five huge starships, which could only make shocking sounds, slowly slid into the deep deep mouth, and when the crater was resealed, the bright lights were lit up underneath.
"Welcome Lord Lu Fan, and welcome Miss Chrissy of the Federal Academy of Sciences to the Galactic Forward Base One." When Lu Fan and the five of them walked down the lower deck of the starship, a middle-aged man wearing a federal general-level military uniform led a group of personnel to meet him quickly.
"I'm Major General Dima. Received a communication from the Federal Military Department saying. Lord Lu Fan is about to arrive at the forward No. 1 base, and all of us base members feel very honored! The middle-aged general took the lead in giving a cross-chested military salute to Lu Fan and the others.
"Welcome, Your Excellency Lord Lu Fan......" was followed by the respectful chorus of the entourage behind Major General Dima.
As the Silver Moon Lord of the Federation, he was already a member of the Atlanta before the dissolution of the Atlanta Federation, and now. His identity in the context of the fragmentation of the Union. It's even more special. Although the silver moon collar did not declare its secession from the federal government, in fact. Everyone understands that the identity of the Silver Moon Lord has risen to the top, and he is a head of state who can sit on an equal footing with the Speaker of the Central Federal Assembly. …,
And the high-level leaders of these outposts are the core backbone of the current central federal government, and they all know what position this young lord will be in the implementation of the federation's large-scale migration plan. Therefore, the command level of the forward base did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and when they heard the news that the flagship of the Unicorn had arrived, Major General Dima, immediately led the members of the base who had a bit of status, and hurried to greet them.
"Well...... brothers, I'll stay at the base for a while, and I'll leave if I understand the situation, you don't have to be too grand." is neither humble nor arrogant when he speaks, and he has the bearing of being a superior.
After following Major General Dima into a reception room and seating the main and secondary guests, Lu Fan had a chance to look at Major General Dima, who had been entrusted with the important task by the Federation and served as the commander of the base closest to his hometown.
Sitting at the bottom of the head, Major General Dima, with a square face, standard thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sitting posture that also maintains the tough nature of a soldier, from the appearance, should be a stable personality and a decent character. At first glance, Lu Fan was full of good feelings, after all, the commander sent by the Federation to the galactic base was directly related to Lu Fan's hometown Earth, and it was also what he paid attention to after all.
"Have you made any progress in your exploration of the galaxy lately?" Lu Fan asked.
"Your Excellency, we have explored the range of about three hundred light years and found more than forty million habitable planets, and I have reported to the Federal Military Department, which is enough for the first migration of the Federation."
Three hundred light years? Lu Fan thinks that the distance is still a little smaller, if according to the previous migration speed, it is indeed able to meet the huge population of the Federation, but now is an extraordinary period, time is the most lacking thing for the Federation, no one will know at what time the Dao Zerg will start a war, and no one knows how long the current Federation can resist.
Of course, Lu Fan is not a direct superior after all, and some words can only be thought about in his heart.
"Have you found any signs of civilization in the galaxy?"
"Your Excellency, for the time being, we have only found some planets with low-level creatures living on them, and there are races with high intelligence, but we have not found them yet."
This answer is basically not Lu Fan's expectation, after all, the earth is in the galaxy, if there is a high-level interstellar civilization, the earth humans should have discovered it a long time ago, or have been in contact.
"Well, we must be vigilant at all times, strengthen the monitoring facilities that have explored the surrounding star fields, the migration of the Federation is related to thousands of citizens, and there can be no mistakes."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Indeed, if there is an interstellar civilization like the Atlanta Federation somewhere in the galaxy, it will cause great difficulties for the entire migration opportunity, and it is even very likely to trigger a new interstellar war, which is a problem that the federal government has to watch out for at present.
There is no interstellar race, and they are willing to be invaded or even occupied by other civilizations in the star field they are operating, and the great migration that the Federation is currently going to carry out is actually doing such an act...... (To be continued......)
