The universe is vast, with countless stars, nebulae, star clusters, dust, and debris, but the most common in the universe, except for the void, is the void. If the whole universe is compared to a rolling river, then the void is endless water, and those stars, nebulae, and star clusters are just the occasional fish and shrimp dotted in the rolling river.

The stars are born and die, but the void is eternal.

This is the void at the junction of the Milky Way and the Alpha Galaxy, empty, lonely, and eternal.

At this moment, the void space fluctuated slightly, and a ball of light suddenly appeared in this eternal void, and when the light gradually dissipated, a huge ship figure appeared.

"Report to the captain, the space transition is over, the energy crew is running smoothly, and the hull systems are working normally!"

"Report where we are now."

"Okay, wait a minute...... Report to the captain, our current coordinates, located X2211Y3234Z235 the Alpha system, about 59.2 million kilometers from base J26. ”

Major Keno in the command cabin heard the report of the staff, frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: This space jump, the deviation is a bit far, but it is quite smooth, not too outrageous, if the speed is accelerated, it should be possible to reach the J26 base in seven days.

"It's good. Now I order, turn off the anti-gravity system, start the secondary energy power unit, and head for the J26 base at sub-light speed! ”

"Yes!"

In the vast starry sky, the A341 transport ship was like a big fish, speeding towards its destination.

In the passenger cabin of the transport ship, after learning that the space jump had ended successfully, 100 expedition volunteers ejected from the airbags one after another, moving their limbs and hands and feet, talking in twos and threes, and all showing happy smiles on their faces.

Such a long-distance interstellar voyage is the first time in most of their lives. Not long ago, they were still at the moon base of the Milky Way Galaxy, but in the blink of an eye, they have come to the distant Alpha Galaxy, 30,000 light-years away from the moon, and it feels like a dream when you think about it.

But 30,000 light-years is only a short distance for the vast universe. Human beings have been very mature in such a short-distance space transition technique, but even so, there are certain uncertainties and risks in space jumping.

Now that the space jump is over, everything is safe and smooth, so that everyone's anxious heart has completely settled down, and they feel a burst of relaxation and happiness.

Major Keno's figure appeared at the door of the cabin, showed a bright smile to everyone in the cabin, and greeted: "Hey, team members, how are you feeling now, is everything okay?" ”

"Your Excellency, everything is fine with us."

"This is my first interstellar trip and it's just wonderful!"

"Captain, how long will it take us to get to our destination?"

……

Everyone was talking with the excitement and freshness of the first interstellar voyage.

"Rest assured, in seven days, I promise to send you to the J26 base." Major Keno smiled and said, "Seven days, I wish you all a pleasant journey, if you have any requests, I will try my best to meet everyone." ”

"Captain, I want to see the starry sky outside, is that okay?" A girl who was obviously curious about the starry sky outside asked timidly.

"Absolutely!" Major Keno stepped forward and pressed a button at the hatch, and saw several large screens on the walls around the cabin, and the pictures on the big screens were basically pitch black, with only a few scattered lights dotted in the distance, which were stars in the Alpha Galaxy.

This kind of picture basically remains the same, and it is really not interesting to watch it for a long time.

"Who among you is the captain?" Major Keno asked again. …,

A big black and strong man stepped forward, it was Daniel, he puffed his chest, and gave a military salute to Major Keno with a slight triumph, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Captain, the captain of the NASA Lunar Base Interstellar Expedition Volunteer Team, Sergeant Daniel reports to you!" ”

Major Keno returned the salute and said with a smile, "Sergeant Daniel, we are on a journey, so we don't need to be so formal. Sergeant Daniel, you are the captain of this team, you have to take responsibility, the management of this team is left to you, you have to ensure the stability and unity of the team, and tell me anything about it. ”

"Yes, Captain, Sergeant Daniel will live up to your expectations." Daniel gave another standard military salute.

Major Keno nodded, said a few more words, and left.

After Major Keno had left, Daniel glanced at the people in the hall and began to deliver his captain's inaugural speech, only to hear him say, "I am your captain, and I have a few words to say to you now for the smooth and safe purpose of this journey." First of all, all actions should be under command, and no unauthorized actions should be allowed, and if there is anything, you must report to me. 2. ......"

"What, it's just a little sergeant, it's temporary, holding chicken feathers as an arrow here, and I really think I'm a federal officer, a gorilla in a federal uniform, hum!"

A girl who seemed to be unaccustomed to the other party's arrogance muttered quietly on the side.

Although the voice was small, it was still heard by people nearby, and someone in the crowd snickered in a low voice.

Daniel was emotionally delivering his captain's inaugural speech, and the laughter from the crowd obviously made him very unhappy, and his eyes glared fiercely over there, and shouted: "What are you laughing at, what's so funny, Corporal Jerry, you are out of the ranks!" ”

A young white man forced a smile and walked out, asking nonchalantly, "Sergeant Daniel, what's the matter?" ”

Daniel grimaced and said, "Corporal Jerry, you repeat what I just said!" ”

Jerry stood there, pouting, clearly unconvinced.

Daniel's face sank, and he shouted, "What, Corporal Jerry, you dare to disobey?" I'm the captain here, and I'm in charge, didn't you hear what I just ordered? ”

Jerry's face changed, although he was not convinced, he still held back, he was about to go on an interstellar expedition, at this time, there was really no need to fight with the other party, and there would be extraneous branches.

"First of all, all actions should be under command, and no unauthorized actions should be made, and if there is anything, report to me. Two ......" Jerry still pinched his throat and repeated what the other party had just said.

After listening to the other party's recitation, Daniel looked at everyone again, and said in a deep voice: "Since Major Kino wants me to be responsible as the captain, then I will do it." I hope that everyone will remember what I just said, and do not disobey, otherwise everything will be dealt with according to military law! ”

Under his gaze, everyone was silent for a while, and no one raised any objections at this time.

It's just a person's sneer, but it was imprinted in his eyes, which made him stunned, a little angry, and shouted loudly: "Corporal Jiang Ping, what are you sneering at, is it that you are not convinced by my words?" ”

Jiang Ping walked slowly in front of the other party and snorted, "I really don't accept it." I don't think you Daniel deserve to be this captain. You're just a self-righteous and arrogant guy, and I don't think you would have been the captain if it had been democratically elected. ”

"You, you ......"

Daniel was momentarily speechless. He didn't expect the other party to dare to say such a thing in a grand manner, which was very disrespectful to his captain, which surprised him and made him even more angry in his heart.

"Could it be that Sergeant Daniel is not convinced by my words? Why don't you vote for it now and see if it's your turn to be the captain? Jiang Ping still said calmly. …,

Daniel stared at the other party with a murderous gaze, if the gaze could kill, the other party was afraid that he would die many times. He was eager to step forward and tear up the person in front of him who dared to challenge his captain's authority, if before, he was only afraid that he would have made a move, but now he has a few scruples, because he is the captain, he has to worry about this identity.

"Corporal Jiang Ping, whether you are convinced or not, now I am the captain and your superior. The only thing that is needed in the army is obedience, not lip service. It's my responsibility to manage the team, and all you, and you, have to do is obey, and you have to understand that! Now let me remind you again, Corporal Jiang Ping, this is the army, not a civilian amusement park, if you dare to make dissatisfaction with your superiors, I will immediately deal with you with military law! ”

Daniel looked at Jiang Ping with angry eyebrows, including everyone else, like a lion king whose authority was challenged.

"Daniel, you are a sergeant, you are a captain, this is the army, I admit it, I admit that you Daniel has the right to order. But I still say the same thing, you don't deserve to be this captain! If you don't accept it, you'll fire me as an expedition volunteer. ”

After saying this, Jiang Ping didn't bother to talk to the other party anymore, turned around, and went to his own separate cabin to rest.

"You, you bastard, stand up for me—"

Daniel was furious.

"Let's all disperse, rest early, the journey is still long." I don't know who proposed, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and there were only a few people left in the entire cabin hall.

Daniel is like an angry lion, on the verge of going berserk, a character he simply despises, who dares to challenge his authority in public, which makes him unbearable. Looking at the vanishing back, he hated it.

And he was just a captain, and he really didn't have the right to fire an expedition volunteer.

Come a long time, you bastard, you will pay for today's provocation! He swore in his heart.

Jiang Ping returned to his independent cabin and was about to lie down to rest, when he heard a gentle knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Jiang Ping said.

The door was pushed open, and in came a handsome white young man in his twenties, who was Jerry just now.
