In the third year of the Crisis Era, the Trimaran Fleet was 4.26 light-years away from the solar system.

Why does it look so old......

Facing the huge hull being built by the "Wide-area Silence", Wu Yue's first thought came to his mind. In fact, of course, he knew that because the aircraft carrier hull adopts the latest vapor-hydraulic protection welding process, it will produce the most large and unhindered stains on the manganese steel plate, and the effect of the flashing welding arc light makes the hull that is about to be completed look like what he is looking like.

He tried to imagine what the Wide Silence would look like when it was painted grey, but it didn't work.

The "Wide-area Silence" has just completed its fourth offshore formation training, and during this two-month voyage, Wu Yue and Zhang Beihai, who was standing beside him, became two awkward characters.

The formation of destroyers, submarines, and supply ships was under the command of the commander of the battle group, and the "Wide-area Silence" under their command was still under construction, and the position of the aircraft carrier was to be filled by the "Zheng He" training ship, which was sometimes simply empty.

During this period, Wu Yue often stared at the empty sea on the command ship in a daze, and on that piece of water, only the tracks left by the ships in front of him were restless and restless, just like his mood. Can this blank really be filled in at the end? He asked himself more than once.

Now looking at the "Wide Area Silence" under construction, he sees that it is not only old, it even has an ancient vicissitudes.

The "Wide Area Silence" in front of it looks like an abandoned ancient giant fortress, the mottled hull of the ship is about to be filled with tall stone walls, and the wisps of welding flowers hanging from the dense scaffolding seem to cover the stone walls...... It's not like building, it's like archaeology...... Wu Yue was afraid that he would think about it again, so he shifted his attention to Zhang Beihai next to him.

"How's my father's illness?" Wu Yue asked.

Zhang Beihai shook his head gently, "It's not good, it's maintained." ”

"Take a leave of absence."

"I already asked him once when he was first hospitalized, and now I'll talk about it then."

Then the two of them fell silent again, and every communication between them about their personal lives was like this, and there would certainly be more conversations about work, but there was always a layer of separation.

"Beihai, the future work is not as important as before, since we have arrived in this position together, I think we should communicate more with each other." Wu Yue said.

"We should have communicated very well before, and since the superiors put the two of us together on the "Wide Area Silence", they must have considered our previous successful cooperation on the "Chang'an". ”

Zhang Beihai smiled and said that it was still the kind of smile that Wu Yue couldn't understand, but he was sure that this smile was from the heart, since he couldn't understand anything from the heart, then there was no hope of understanding him at all.

Successful cooperation is not equal to successful understanding, of course, Wu Yue himself must be completely transparent in Zhang Beihai's eyes, from the sailors on the ship to his captain, Zhang Beihai can always easily see their hearts, he must be the most competent political commissar.

Zhang Beihai is also very honest in his work, and for the captain, he has a very detailed explanation of everything before and after. But his inner world has always been a bottomless gray for Wu Yue, and he always gives Wu Yue this feeling: just do it, this is the best or the most correct, but this is not what I think.

This feeling was only vague at first, but then it became more and more obvious. Of course, what Zhang Beihai did was often the best or the most correct, but what he thought, Wu Yue didn't know.

Wu Yue has always adhered to such a creed: in the difficult position of commanding a battleship, the two commanders must have a good understanding of each other's way of thinking, so this point has always been a pimple in Wu Yue's heart.

At first, he thought that this was some kind of precaution against himself by Zhang Beihai, and he felt very aggrieved: In the difficult position of destroyer captain, who else is more honest and scheming than himself? What do I have to protect myself against? Zhang Beihai's father was their superior for a short period of time, and Wu Yue had a conversation with him about his communication with the political commissar.

"If you just do a good job, why do you have to know his way of thinking?" The general said lightly, and then added intentionally or unintentionally, "Actually, even I don't know." ”

"Let's take a closer look." Zhang Beihai pointed to the "wide-area silence" number decorated with welding sparks, saying that at this time, their mobile phones rang at the same time, and a text message reminded them to return to the car, and confidential communication equipment can only be used in the car, and it is usually used only when there is an emergency. Wu Yue pulled the car door and picked up the microphone, and it was a staff officer from the headquarters of the battle group who called.

"Captain Wu, the fleet command has an urgent order for you and Political Commissar Zhang: You two should report to the General Staff immediately."

"To the General Staff? And what about the fifth formation training? Half of the battle group is already at sea, and the rest of the ships will set sail tomorrow to join. ”

"I don't know about this, the order is very simple, just this one, you can come back and see the specific content."

The captain and political commissar of the USS Wide Area Silence, which had not yet been launched, looked at each other, and for so many years, they had a rare understanding of each other: it seemed that that small area of the sea was going to be empty forever.

……

"What do you think of the current situation?"

"Look, stand and see, this thing is getting messy, some of the shady bugs have crawled out now, and you know what, some of the descendants of some people have preached the Great Escape.

Even an old couple who live next door to my house started buying ferry tickets for their grandson's grandson, you know, saying that they escaped from Blue Star after 100 years, but his sister's Trisolarans came to destroy the Blue Star human race, to invade Blue Star, can he let you run.

Besides, in 100 years, with that technology, can you build a spaceship with a speed of one hundredth of light, and you may not even reach one thousandth of the speed of light, what else are you playing to escape, a group of ignorant people, who grab medicine when they are seriously ill, resell arms and food during war, and now they have begun to resell spaceship tickets.

I'm even thinking, just these ignorant and numb people deserve our desperate efforts to save, really convinced, the upper class is busy earning money to buy ferry tickets, busy fleeing, and the lower class is busy rushing to the bank to withdraw money, no one really listens to the government's advice, and they are all TM into a pot of porridge, damn! ”

This dialogue comes from Li Yang and Da Shi, since the end of the Guzheng Project and the three-body people surfaced, the world has not been quiet, and different dramas are staged every day, and no one really stops to live a stable life, just to worry about chaos in a few hundred years.

In order to cope with this situation, the wall-facing plan had to be advanced, and the wall-facing person was also called in advance, looking at the chaotic world, Li Yang was really upset, and he was a little distressed about Luo Ji, who had been a sword bearer for a hundred years.
