Swish ~

Black Sword took off his holographic glasses and returned to the real world from the secret net. The deep space outside the huge landing porthole was dark and silent. There were countless gravels of large and small floating, boundless, like an insurmountable natural barrier, blocking Black Sword and his fleet.

Thrust up his chest, Black Sword came to the ground-to-ceiling porthole, his expression was full of excitement, and there was a light of fire in his eyes. With the help of the pilot, he was no longer confused and fearful. Luo Jia's innate honest aura made Black Sword believe that as long as he followed the pilot's guidance, he would definitely be able to get out of here.

"Report, the western area is urgently powered!" Just as the fleet was leading to set sail, the deputy suddenly reported to the Black Sword.

"Remember!" Black Sword said with a slightly frown.

Bang ~

A few minutes later, the deputy read the telegram from the headquarters, and the black sword's face turned gloomy and punched heavily on the table, making a loud noise. The deputy was so scared that he shivered suddenly.

"You go out and let me be quiet alone." Black Sword said in a deep voice.

When the deputy left, Black Sword breathed heavily and forced himself to calm down, "Don't worry, you are still very young. As the youngest graduate in the history of the Command Academy, your talent is impeccable, and everything is only temporary."

The spiritual victory method similar to Ah Q helped Black Sword calm down. He walked out of his office and passed by the tea room, and happened to hear someone talking inside.

"Have you heard it? Another urgent call from the West District asked us to arrive at the Forgotten Galaxy next week. If we cannot arrive on time, the Lieutenant Colonel may have to go to the military court."

"Forgotten Galaxy? The Forgotten Galaxy is located between the two major star counties of Stranglethorn and Venal? Why go there? Open a new route? Or explore something?"

"A discerning eye can see that the fundamental reason is General Rafati's suppression of our lieutenant colonel. After all, Rafati is the biological son of the guardian of the West Side, and the lieutenant colonel is the illegitimate son of the guardian. Their own son and the illegitimate son dislike each other. One is the superior and the other is the subordinate. They play in the same war zone. If nothing unexpected happens, that would be a strange thing."

"So that's it... No wonder Black Sword is very talented and is the youngest graduate of the Command Academy. He is now just a lieutenant colonel. He also has to lead us, the defeated generals, to carry out dangerous tasks that may die at any time."

"This is probably fate. Who made the lieutenant colonel's mother humble from a humble background? She was just a maid, the son of the guardian of the West District. The difference in fate is too big."

"You said, can we pass through the gravel belt of the Full Moon Galaxy?"

"It depends on luck. I just hope that the lieutenant colonel will not rely on force to rush forward. After all, the gravel belt is a danger that can be seen, and the real danger will always be hidden in the invisible corner."

"If I go back, I have to go to the military court. If I don't go back, I have to take the risk of forcing the gravel belt. If I were a lieutenant colonel, I would take the risk of fighting. At worst, I would have to face the dead birds."

Hearing this, Black Sword made a sound on purpose, and the two soldiers in the tea room immediately shut up. After Black Sword passed, they were glad that they talked about the lieutenant colonel's gossip, but fortunately they were not discovered.

He could obviously severely punish those two gossiped guys and kill one to warn him, but in the end, Black Sword chose to forgive, which was his nature, the softness hidden under his hard appearance.

"They were also excluded in the western area, so they were sent to my fleet. Even if these soldiers died with me, the headquarters would not feel distressed. Instead, they would feel glad that they had lost a big burden. Forget it, let's forgive others if they have to forgive them," Hei Jian thought to himself that his care for his subordinates was from the sigh of being a worldly person.

"commander!"

"captain!"

Black Sword walked into the command center, and hundreds of crew members around him greeted him immediately. Then he walked up to the two-story bridge and glanced at everyone.

After the civilization is annihilated, artificial intelligence no longer exists. Ships or fleets cannot get help from artificial intelligence. They must rely on a large number of professionals to navigate the dangerous galaxy. This also brings new opportunities to humans living in stars. Professionals continue to emerge. As long as they learn and master professional skills, anyone has the possibility of becoming successful.

However, when Black Sword looked around, his command center was filled with young men with a young face, young students who were eliminated from major professional colleges, and some old men who were busy waiting to die in the Western District fleet, forming the main body of this fleet.

What's even more terrifying is that this most disabled fleet in the history of the West District has to carry out dangerous exploration missions, which makes Black Sword's situation worse.

The black sword ordered the position sign he got from Luo Jia. A few hours later, the fleet arrived at the predetermined location and saw a crack in the center of the gravel belt that was originally like a city wall, and it could only accommodate three standard cargo ships in width.

“It’s a passage!”

“Can we pass through the gravel belt smoothly along the passage?”

"Lieutenant Colonel is amazing. How did he find this passage?"

Black Sword knew that it was not himself who was magical, but the respected navigator. He did not deceive himself. The gravel belt of the full moon galaxy was not an insurmountable obstacle!

"The fleet conducts a comprehensive self-inspection and releases a reconnaissance drone!" Black Sword ordered in a deep voice.

Swish ~

Three hummingbird-type reconnaissance drones flew up, lined up in a triangular queue, entered the center of the gravel belt, and passed the internal routes of the gravel belt back to the fleet command center through visual sensors, deep space radars, magnetic detectors and other on-board equipment.

At the same time, this fleet of old, weak, sick and disabled began to conduct a final inspection, test the power of energy shields, preheat the large-caliber laser cannon, check whether the energy transmission between the thruster and the reactor is smooth, etc.

The flagship Raven, the Exploration Fleet's flagship, has been in service for more than 80 years. This old heavy destroyer has a double 720-caliber laser speed-fire cannon, with fierce firepower, plus the fifth-generation fire control system of the Cross Star Military Industry Group, and is a good player in close combat.

"Depart! All ships follow the flagship!"

"The Hunter and Boomerang are on the left and right!"

"The Earth is cut off!"

With the Black Sword's command, Raven took the lead and ejected a beautiful blue flame from the stern. The hull shook slightly, accelerated and continued to accelerate. It was not until 65% of the conventional cruise speed that the chief of the engine stabilized the engine power and distributed more energy to the defense system, digital analysis system, and firepower system.

The momentum is extremely powerful, but this cannot cover up the embarrassing fact that the fleet's average ship is zero or a hundred years old. Anyone with a nerve will be worried to lead such a grandfather-level fleet to embark on a dangerous and unknown waterway.

Black Sword's heart hangs up, and his left hand is inserted into his uniform pocket, tightly holding the amulet containing the mother's photo. His palms are covered in sweat, but on the surface they still pretend to be nothing.

"Fifteen degrees on the starboard side, turn on the afterburner thruster!"

"Release the entangled beam and remove the gravel in front of me!"

"Can't retreat! The engine is turned off, all energy is concentrated on the front energy shield, and the entire ship is alarmed, ready to face the impact!"

As the Black Sword ordered, the red warning lights in the cabin were heard, and the electronic sound broadcast rang again and again.

"Warning, the impact is thirty seconds later!"

"Warning, the impact is twenty seconds later! Please prepare all crew members!"

Rumble ~

The Raven faced the group of gravel that suddenly appeared in the channel, turning the energy shield to the maximum. The hull vibrated violently, and the power supply entered the overload protection. After it was turned off, it lit up a yellow emergency light, making the world in the cabin become bizarre. The crew members grabbed the fixed objects tightly and prayed to the stars in their hearts.

In one second, two seconds, the old Raven withstood the storm-like raid, withstood severe tests, and finally passed through the gravel belt and arrived at the quiet starry sky on the other side.

"Stars bless us, we really walked through the gravel belt and electromagnetic turbulence!"

"Long live the commander! Long live the lieutenant colonel!"

The crew celebrated wildly and shed tears of excitement for the death of the disaster. At the same time, their worship of the Black Sword has reached an unprecedented level. This success allowed everyone to appreciate the style of the first genius of the Command Academy. The judgment and adaptability of the Black Sword are definitely the first among the stars.

"Thank you for the pilot, thank you Mr. Luo Jia!"

However, at this moment, Black Sword had completely different ideas in his heart. He could not suppress his admiration for Luo Jia, because he knew very well that this dangerous journey was all guided by the great pilot, and that Luo Jia saved himself on the verge of crisis.

"I want to help Luo Jia collect the history and information he wants as soon as possible. I don't know how many pilots are left among the stars, but I can be sure that with the annihilation of civilization, there should be very few such ancient and noble top professionals. Any living pilot is worthy of worship, let alone Luo Jia is still so young."

After washing his face in the bathroom and cheering up his spirits, Black Sword made up his mind and decided to repay Luo Jia's help with all his might and carefully maintain the hard-won friendship between himself and the pilot.

"General Rafati is on the No. 4 Communication Channel." After returning to the command room, the deputy lowered his voice and said to the Black Sword: "When passing through the gravel belt, the radio was disturbed. The general seemed to have been contacting us, but it was unsuccessful."

Black Sword was slightly stunned and returned to the position of the commander of the bridge. He pressed the button, opened the holographic light curtain, and connected General Lafati who was far away in the command center of the West District. He saw that this man, who was three points similar to Black Sword, had a very gloomy face, as if someone had owed money.

"Why keep the radio silent? You'd better give me a reasonable reason." Rafati said in a deep voice, with a faint solemn aura in his voice.

The fleet cannot enter the radio silent at will. If the headquarters or friendly forces need support but cannot contact the fleet for a while, the commander will bear great responsibility for this.

However, the Black Sword's fleet is not a standard military unit, but a small fleet that performs exploration missions. It consists of two destroyers, six frigates, and a supply ship. Not only are the ships old and the crew qualifications are uneven, and there are no special starships such as electronic attack ships, interceptor ships, and interceptor ships. If you really do combat missions, you can only deliver vegetables. Lafati questioned so harshly that he is suspected of giving public services to his personal power and giving black sword a big hat.

Black Sword ignored these things, he raised his head and said frankly: "Report to General, we encountered electromagnetic interference when we were passing through the gravel belt just now, not active radio silence."

What!?

Lafati's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He couldn't believe his ears. The black sword actually passed through the gravel belt?

"Yes." Black Sword explained, "We have already passed the gravel belt of the Full Moon Galaxy and are moving towards the Forgotten Galaxy as required, and are expected to arrive in two days."

"You said, you have passed the gravel belt of the Full Moon Galaxy?" Lafati asked in surprise: "How did you pass? Did you open the dimensional wall and forcefully open a space crack?"

Black Sword smiled slightly and said, "Of course we don't have the legendary existence of the space starter, but we found a path that can pass through the gravel belt."

You found the path!?

Is this too lucky!?

Lafati looked strange and didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing that the illegitimate son who ruined the reputation of the family was in high spirits, Lafati couldn't be happy no matter what. Black Sword found a path through the gravel belt, which was of great significance to the entire energy civilization. He might be forced to commend Black Sword and promote him.

"Keep going." Rafati raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Contact me when you reach the periphery of the Forgotten Galaxy. I will tell you what to do."

"As for your order! General!" Black Sword saluted General Rafati.

Swish ~

The light curtain was closed, and Black Sword suddenly felt a refreshing feeling in his heart.

"Thank you for the great pilot! You are the brightest star that guides me!" Black Sword thought excitedly, "We must hurry up and prepare to pay Luo Jia. The history of energy civilization and nuclear fusion technology. Fortunately, these are not core technologies, and it is not difficult to obtain with my current authority."

"In addition, we must continue to pay attention to Lafati's movements. This time he sent me out to such a distant place and led another broken fleet. He probably didn't plan to let me go back."

"According to legend, the Forgotten Galaxy is one of the battlefields in the period of civilization annihilation. The Star Lock, a movable space station with a total power of 170 billion standard units, was the star Lock that fell when the Forgotten Galaxy was sunk by the mechanical civilization. In that tragic war of all civilizations siege against the mechanical civilization, we suffered heavy losses. Even the Star Lock Lock equipped with super shields sank."

"The Mechanical System is worthy of being the most rogue and unreasonable civilization ever. Luo Jia actually claimed that she came from the Mechanical System? He should be just kidding, right? Because if he is really a Mechanical System, it is equivalent to announcing to the stars that he is a public enemy of the whole nation. Come and chase me!"

"Yes, it must be a joke. Now that all civilizations have mastered mechanical technology, there is no longer the so-called mechanical system in the world. Luo Jia must have come from some mysterious, even unknown, secret civilization!"

Luo Jia's speculation from the secret civilization made Black Sword quickly excited. After all, the top profession of Pilot has almost disappeared from the stars today. In addition, Luo Jia's hooded sweatshirt and jeans that transcend the era, this retro style is incompatible with the stars. People living among the stars have never seen such cool and fashionable clothes as pure cotton hooded sweatshirts.

"In any case, the forgotten galaxy is waiting for me, and the ancient battlefield that caused the fall of Star Lock is waiting for me, and the unknown ahead is full of unknowns. Luo Jia, the magical pilot, may point me in the direction of progress at a critical moment!"

Thinking of this, Black Sword suddenly felt his confidence multiply and his whole body was full of strength.

...

After resting all night, Luo Jia felt that her energy had recovered a lot. The robot prepared breakfast and prepared clean clothes for Luo Jia.

Today is the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, and the company officially opened. Luo Jia sent electronic red envelopes to all employees as usual, and then came to the management bureau to attend the first regular meeting after the New Year.

After the Spring Festival, everything changed differently. Luo Jia found a new direction and the management bureau also ushered in the largest resignation of personnel in history. Hong Tao, Di Wuchang, Ling Feng, and the three company veterans did not appear in their positions today. Although Luo Jia insisted on keeping them, they decided not to participate in the company's management affairs.

Luo Jia tapped her fingers gently on the table. For more than ten seconds, no one spoke, staring at the three free boss chairs in a daze.

Luo Jia looked up and looked around.

An Ran, vice president and head of the hardware department, Li Moran, vice president and head of the software department, Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng, head of the life science department, Shen Lang, entertainment and head of the cleaning business department, Cao Yuan, head of the Materials Research Institute, and himself, the total number of people in the management bureau dropped from ten to seven.

"Are you all okay for the New Year?"

Li Moran spoke first and broke the silence in the conference room. If An Ran and Luo Jia were both passionate entrepreneurs, then Li Moran was a typical master who was silently doing his own work, observing the needs of everyone in the team, and then helping.

Following Li Moran's words, the atmosphere in the conference room quickly became lively. Although everyone was spending the Spring Festival in Jiuquan and only went home to see it on the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, the changes visible to the naked eye of their hometown still surprised everyone.

This is not just a material and economic change. The increasingly confident Chinese people are welcoming the strong return of the ancient Chinese civilization.

"All the past is the prologue!" Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "The new year and new atmosphere are our only directions. From now on, the particle and nuclear physics laboratory will be officially renamed the Ministry of Fusion Energy, and the level will be upgraded to the second level of the group. Everyone, please be prepared. We will hit the Tianwang Mountain, which is a controllable fusion."

This year!

Controllable fusion!?
Chapter completed!
