Starboat base, bridge.

The panoramic screen shows the situation outside the base, with the Moon hanging high in the right foreground, and the long morning and dusk lines leave a huge arc on the surface of the moon.

In front of the left, groups of warships silently flew to their respective positions, gradually forming a neat queue, and in the darkness, there was a kind of wordless heaviness in my heart.

"How many warships are these? Don't you see much?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"There are more than 200 of them." Ou Zhanpeng said.

"So little?" Ling Xiao was surprised, and the others also showed surprised looks.

"It's quite a lot, we only have more than 2,000 warships in total, and that's a tenth." Ou Zhanpeng's tone was embarrassed, "This battle can be regarded as a fight of confidence, and I think more than 200 ships are enough...... Besides, aren't there still a batch of giants!"

"Hey, too!" Ling Xiao smacked his lips, "We've been fighting with giants a lot, it's only been how many years, so it's good to wear a pair of pants?"

Ou Zhanpeng tugged at the corners of his mouth: "For the sake of profit, don't be ashamed!"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but let out a loud voice: "Incisive...... Hey, it's about to begin!"

In front left, more than 200 warships have been arranged in a neat phalanx, looking at a straight line horizontally, a straight line vertically, and an oblique view is also neatly aligned.

Well, the old traditions of the military.

In front of the phalanx, there were several other warships, although they were also neatly arranged, but the number was too small.

The phalanx is the fleet under review, and the warships in front of it are equivalent to the rostrum of the parade.

At nine o'clock, Zhou Guangyi's voice was transmitted to all the warships through the airwaves: "I announce that the expeditionary fleet is officially established and the parade begins!"

A battleship came out of the crowd and flew back and forth in front of the phalanx, making the atmosphere very solemn.

Ling Xiao whispered, "Isn't it interesting to clean up these useless things?"

Ou Zhanpeng chuckled: "Isn't this for the sake of ceremony? Even if it's a form, there must be one."

As he spoke, the battleship returned to its original position, and the fleet formation under review passed through the field, taking four warships as a group, flying from the left side of the Star Boat to the right side until it flew over the moon, and then opened the wormhole to leave.

The last group of battleships drilled into the wormhole, and Ou Zhanpeng knocked on the handrail: "Okay, let's send it!"

As he spoke, the Starship broke away from the base, opened the wormhole and disappeared, appearing in a strange void shortly after.

The expeditionary fleet was assembling here, and Ou Zhanpeng soon received a communication request from the fleet.

The signal was connected, and Lotu, dressed in a straight military uniform, appeared on the screen: "Ou Fei, long time no see!"

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed: Damn, Ou Fei is also your name?

Ou Zhanpeng chuckled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are a major general!"

"I can't compare to you!" Lotu grinned, not hiding the envy in his eyes.

Ou Zhanpeng sits on the Xingzhou, both in terms of status and role, far beyond others, and the battles he has experienced are far beyond others, and he was hung up with the rank of major general a few years ago - purely in terms of military merit, it is not too much to give a general, but how old is he now? If you are promoted to general at such a young age, will you not be promoted in the future?

There is no way, the military can only press his rank, and then find it back from other aspects.

Ou Zhanpeng, a major general, has been carrying the title of major general for several years, and this time he sent troops to fight against alien civilizations, and it is estimated that he should make a move after the war. ….

"Let's stop talking about that, how about it, are you all ready?" Ou Zhanpeng asked.

Lotu nodded: "Don't worry, it's absolutely fine!"

The expeditionary force was formed again, and the command hoped that the fleet would fight this battle, train the troops and crusade against the aliens.

Although the expeditionary fleet only had more than 200 warships, judging from the performance of the Flame class in battle, it was enough to complete this unprecedented counterattack.

Although the Xingzhou followed, Ou Zhanpeng's task was not to participate in the operation, but to add an insurance to the expeditionary fleet to avoid accidents.

But now is not yet the time for action, the expeditionary fleet is regrouped, stop here and wait patiently

Treat.

Two hours later, the Starship suddenly sounded an alarm, and the radar showed a large number of wormholes nearby.

Not long after, the fleets from the three prehistoric civilizations arrived at the assembly place and joined forces with the expeditionary fleet to form a combined fleet, with a total number of warships reaching more than 800, which was comparable to the fleets of the seven major civilizations that invaded the earth.

Long before the departure of the fleet, all parties had reached an agreement on the issue of joint conquest of alien civilizations, and the composition of the fleet and the ownership of the command had already been distributed.

Eight hundred warships are not necessarily an opponent of the enemy?

There is indeed such a possibility, but those seven civilizations have lost so many warships on the earth, and they know with their butts that there will not be too many warships left on the mainland, and the more than 800 warships of the coalition army are completely a crushing-level military force.

If you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower, since you have such a strong force, what else is there to scruple about?

The fleet sailed directly to the opponent's outer planetary space, and when the first batch of warships passed through the wormhole, the other side immediately sounded the alarm, and the remaining warships quickly dispatched.

When the second group of battleships passed through the wormhole, the sirens were still sounding, but the enemy fleet immediately braked sharply.

The third group of battleships appeared, and the enemy retreated, and the fear of battle was serious.

The last batch of battleships appeared, and the enemy completely lost his confidence, and without saying a word, surrendered unconditionally.

Ou Zhanpeng doesn't know what to say, what kind of civilization is this, he has not been cowardly before he fights, don't you know what backbone is!

The enemy is also devastated, there are only so many warships in total, the fleet sent to Earth is finished, and there are only more than a hundred warships left at home.

If there is hope of fighting, they don't mind fighting, but one hundred against eight hundred...... Forget it.

Thus, the Combined Fleet conquered the first hostile civilization without blood.

The next step is to seize all the warships, demilitarize, and announce to the other side a series of arrangements such as garrisoning and escrow, as well as a series of human privileges.

Ou Zhanpeng originally thought that the other side would at least strive for these harsh conditions, but he didn't expect to not even reply to the anger, and agreed to it without saying a word.

As a result, the giants, sub-giants, and little giants contacted the expeditionary fleet one after another, and they all felt that the conditions proposed by the humans were too lenient and too generous, and as the victorious side, they should not give the other party so much power.

Only then did everyone know that the conditions that are very harsh in the eyes of human beings are not even a hair among interstellar civilizations, and it is the norm of interstellar warfare to directly beat the entire race into slaves. ….

However, Lotu finally strictly implemented the above arrangement - the military never wanted to directly rule the alien civilization, because it would require a lot of time and personnel to do so, and there were all kinds of troubles to solve.

In contrast, the indirect rule of the proprietor is simpler, and it is nothing more than a smaller benefit.

The debut of the expeditionary force ended in a complete victory, and after leaving behind a group of battleships, the main forces of the fleet immediately turned to the second target.

The second civilization was not so soft, and there were indeed not many warships left, but they did not surrender to death, and launched a fierce confrontation with the expeditionary force, and finally ended up with the annihilation of the entire army.

Desperate resistance won the respect of the Combined Fleet, but it was useless, and there would be no shortage of conditions.

Just when the fleet was about to rush to the third target, the Xingzhou suddenly sounded an alarm, which made Ou Zhanpeng nervous, thinking that the other party had recruited reinforcements.

But he soon discovered that the alarm was coming from a wormhole that suddenly appeared near the battlefield, and a few seconds later, a flame-class ship burst out of the hole, and the Starship immediately received a communication request from the other party.

The signal is connected: "I'm Ou Zhanpeng!"

"Captain Ou, I'm the Herald of the Messenger!"

Before the words fell, a document had already been passed to Ou Zhanpeng: order, the expeditionary fleet continued to operate as originally planned, and the Xingzhou returned immediately after receiving the order!

Ou Zhanpeng frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "Messenger, what's going on at home?"

No

He was nervous, but since the above had arranged for the Star Boat to participate in the expedition, he should not give up halfway.

But now? As soon as the expedition began, the Xingzhou was suddenly called back, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the situation was very unusual, and eighty percent of them had an accident.

The Courier quickly replied, "Sorry, I don't know."

"Okay, I see." Ou Zhanpeng sighed, contacted Luotu to say goodbye, and the Xingzhou immediately returned.

Lotu has always been full of confidence, but the Xingzhou is so together, and the original sufficient confidence is suddenly a little weak.

He secretly warned himself not to float too much, and he had to be cautious in his next actions.

There is no big mistake in being careful, it is precisely because of this caution that the next operation was very smooth, and the enemy's ambush was recognized, and the plan was calculated, giving the enemy a heavy blow, and successfully completing the expeditionary mission.

Since then, there has been a new formation in the human fleet: the foreign fleet!

Although mankind has more than 2,000 warships, the battleships are not completely finished after they are built, and every time they set sail, every crew, and the artillery and missiles they are equipped with, it can be said that from the inside out, every steel plate is a huge amount of money.

2,000 warships, which can already be said to be extremely militaristic, put a great burden on all mankind, and adversely affected the economy of mankind several years ago.

But for the sake of the safety of the earth, we can only grit our teeth and continue to expand our armaments, even if the aliens come again one day in the future, the human fleet will not even have a chance to counterattack.

The result? It turns out that not the fleets of any civilization are so difficult, it turns out that the fleets of humans are strong enough!

But that's not enough, the Rall talent is really strong.

Therefore, it is necessary to continue to expand the army and continue to prepare for war, but this military expense will fall on those protected races. ….

So for a period of time, the foreign fleet flourished, and the number of warships repeatedly climbed.

This is all for later, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Starship returned to Earth and appeared near the Moon.

Ou Zhanpeng found that there was another battleship near the moon, and the Xingzhou automatically scanned it and immediately gave the target information: Expedition 9!

He suddenly realized that something was wrong, shouldn't this battleship accompany the migrant ship to fly into deep space? How did it end up here?

Before he could figure out the situation, he had already received a communication from the headquarters, and Zhou Guangyi appeared on the screen: "Do you see Expedition Seven?"

Ou Zhanpeng nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Aldebaran has blown up."

"What?" Ou Zhanpeng's scalp tingled, "You're talking about Aldebaran?"

"Yes, it's Aldebaran, is there anything you don't know?" Speaking of which, Zhou Guangyi sent a document to the Xingzhou.

It was a passage that began with a familiar starry sky, with a dimly lit red dwarf star at the edge of the frame.

The wormhole opened in the picture, but before the spaceship could pass through, a piercing alarm suddenly appeared, and the picture was blurry and then chaotic, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

Switching angles, it becomes a bridge, and all screens are lost.

A voice was anxious: "High-intensity gamma rays have been discovered!"

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, it seems that there is a problem on the other side of the wormhole!"

"Close the wormhole!"

"The wormhole is closed...... Gamma rays are gone!"

"Mark the exit location and try again!"

"Lock the coordinates and open the wormhole...... Discover high-intensity gamma rays!"

"Close the wormhole, move the exit forward for a month."

"Received, the export was moved forward by one month...... Discover high-intensity gamma rays! 「

"What's the latest red giant?" A three-dimensional star map appeared on it, and several people surrounded the star map to study it carefully.

"It's Aldebaran!" A voice said. "Move to Aldebaran for another month!"

"The coordinates are locked, the wormhole is opened...... Discover high-intensity particle flows!"

"How far are we from Aldebaran?"

"17 light years!"

"17 years...... It should be enough, and the exit will be half a light-year away from Aldebaran!"

"Roger...... No gamma rays were found, and low-intensity particle streams were found!"

"The shield is at full power, pass through the wormhole!"

"Shield Power is ...... full"

On the screen, the battleship enters the wormhole and then appears in a dark starry sky.

Before entering the wormhole, the image lingers for a moment in the starry sky, and the bright Aldebaran still hangs above the sky.

However, after passing through the wormhole, there is only a dim point of light in the direction of Aldebaran, but a brilliant cloud of light surrounds Aldebaran.

Ou Zhanpeng knew that it was a supernova remnant formed by the stellar material ejected during the supernova explosion...... Well, it can't be called a relic just yet.

He rubbed his face vigorously, "I remember Aldebaran leaving us...... 65 light years? In which direction are its poles?"

Gamma-ray bursts from supernova explosions generally do not affect planets 50 light-years away, but this distance does not include the poles.

If one of the poles was facing the solar system when Aldebaran exploded, the Earth would be experiencing a massive gamma-ray burst in the near future.

In the face of such a sudden interstellar catastrophe, not only will human beings be completely extinct, but all terrestrial life on the earth may be extinct, and only marine life may survive, and slowly evolve in a long period of time in millions or even tens of millions of years, and finally rebuild the ecological system of the earth.

Zhou Guangyi shook his head: "It's not clear yet, the reason for calling you back is to find out the situation of Aldebaran as soon as possible!"

"Got it!" Ou Zhanpeng perked up, "Let's go now!"
