    Chapter 73 Capital Star

    Capital Star, the first ecological immigrant star of the Republic of Charno on the interstellar journey, is four times the size of the Earth, the place where mankind originated. The perfect distance from the stars has created a mild and humid climate on Capital Star.  There are no powerful hurricanes or sandstorms filled with yellow sand. It is one of the few perfect ecological planets discovered by humans so far.  Under the blue sky, land and ocean each occupy half of the planet.  After hundreds of years of development, dense forests and earth-like plants have replaced the ugly primitive plants of the original capital star. Geneticists have used gene fusion technology to perfectly replicate the earth's biosphere.  In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the earth's ecological disaster, any behavior that damages the ecological environment is strictly prohibited.  There are no densely populated megacities like those on Earth. The construction of any building must be approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. Instead, there are fully intelligent small population gathering areas connected by highways, with only a small number of high-tech talents and scholars.  , experts and elites who have made outstanding contributions to the Republic can obtain permanent residence in the capital star.  With the improvement of life science, genetic technology and medical level, the human population base has grown explosively, and ordinary people can only live on artificial satellites built around the capital star.  Even so, there is still an endless stream of ordinary citizens applying for satellite residency.  In less than a hundred years, the number of artificial satellites orbiting the Capital Star has surged from the original 4 to the current 11, and there are also two large artificial satellites with a diameter of more than 5,000 kilometers under construction.  Whenever night falls, satellites of various colors float in the night sky, exuding brilliant colors, which has become one of the characteristic landscapes of Capital Star.

    After ten days of sailing and passing through thirteen space gates, the combined fleet finally arrived at the artificial satellite outside the capital star - the "Republic".  This artificial satellite with a diameter of more than 5,000 kilometers is home to about 50 million people, most of whom are active military personnel and their families. It is part of the capital star's space fortress defense network.  According to the Constitution of the Republic, interstellar battleships with a length of more than one thousand meters are not allowed to land directly on the surface of the developed ecological star.  Dozens of star battleships from the United Fleet had to dock at the space port of the "Republic" space fortress, waiting for final confirmation from the Space Agency. All soldiers were temporarily placed in temporary camps.

    Due to the vast space distance between planets and the high price of subspace flight, most ordinary people will never have the opportunity to stay away from the galaxy where they live throughout their lives.  The special pass required to reach the capital star is an insurmountable obstacle for ordinary people.  Looking at the blue planet in space, Yi Lexiang felt as if he was in a dream.  As a child, he dreamed more than once that one day he would visit the Capital Star. Whenever this happened, his father would always smile and say nothing. It was not until he grew up that he suddenly understood what was hidden in his father's silence.  The helplessness.  That's just a young boy's beautiful wish. For ordinary people, such a dream is almost a luxury.

    "What are you thinking about?" Wu Wei appeared silently behind Yi Lexiang, with a faint smile on his slightly delicate face. He seemed to be in a good mood as he was about to go home.

    "I think you don't understand things!" Wu Wei, who has lived in Capital Star since childhood, would have a hard time understanding the melancholy in Yi Lexiang's heart, and Yi Lexiang was too lazy to explain to him.

    "" Wu Wei was angry for a moment, Yi Lexiang always had a hint of contempt or hostility toward a child from a wealthy family like him, and he never tried to hide it.  This makes Wu Wei a little worried. Compared with Yi Lexiang's simplicity, Wu Wei, who has lived in a wealthy family since childhood, can vaguely feel the impending political situation in the capital.  A sudden victory brought Yi Lexiang not only glory, but also enemies.  The darkness of politics and the madness shown by people in order to gain power are unimaginable to ordinary people without personal experience.  As one of Yi Lexiang's most important staff members, Wu Wei has some doubts about whether the person he is loyal to can withstand the general political intrusion.  Although the political strength represented by Bon Ningyan has already recognized Yi Lexiang's existence.  But this is the capital of the Republic, the center of the political storm. How much influence the military has on the government is still unknown.

    The twinkling starlight in the night sky is refracted through the energy shield emitted by the huge energy-concentrating core of the "Republic". The blue capital star seems to be covered with a blue halo, and the stars seem to be drifting, as if  The unpredictable future is always unpredictable.  Wu Wei handed a telegram in his hand to Yi Lexiang, whose eyes were still a little confused. This was the latest information Wu Wei had just obtained through secret channels.  Yi Lexiang sighed, knowing that Wu Wei was not that interested in watching the stars with him here.  The vast universe is full of endless mysteries and unknowns, but human beings are blind to this due to their own narrowness.  For thousands of years, science has progressed, and the space for human survival has continued to expand, but all of this has not changed the bad roots of human beings themselves.  He did not reach out to take the information from Wu Wei's hand, "Tell me, if there is anything disturbing happening"?.  "

    Wu Wei didn't care either. After these days of cooperation, he had already become accustomed to Yi Lexiang's style of doing things. He had no ambitions, coveted comfort, and was extremely disgusted with political intrigues. He could even imagine that if it weren't for this damn war, he would have served his life after serving.  Yi Lexiang, who is serving in the military, might find a beautiful and inaccessible planet to become an interstellar hermit and spend the rest of his life leisurely.  But now, all this is just Yi Lexiang's wishful thinking.  As far away as Anokhi's task force, as close as the tens of thousands of soldiers following him, Yi Lexiang jumped into this huge whirlpool and probably knew clearly in his heart that he was unable to escape.

    Perhaps influenced by Yi Lexiang's confused and lost sentiments, Wu Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.  This reminded him of a sentence in an old novel he once read: "People in the city want to get out, and people outside the city want to rush in." Yi Lexiang is the person in the city who wants to come out, and he is undoubtedly the one who wants to enter the city.  of people.  The different fate trajectories between people are really speechless!  Putting aside the inexplicable and strange feelings in his heart, Wu Wei regained his energy and began to tell Yi Lexiang the intelligence he had just obtained.  The command headquarters suddenly disclosed Orit's battle report and exaggerated it to the surprise of everyone in the task force. During the task force's internal war situation analysis meeting, including Chief of Staff Bo Jiangang, all believed that in order to protect the task force,  The high command is likely to keep a low profile on the matter.  In the secret talks in the Kador theater, Lieutenant General Bon Ningyan also recognized this inference.  But the current abnormal behavior of the headquarters can only mean one thing. The situation in the capital star may be worse than everyone expected.  Of course, what upset Yi Lexiang the most was the grand welcome ceremony that affected hundreds of millions of people.

    Outside the military control zone of the "Republic" space fortress, the space shuttles of major media have long occupied favorable positions over the space port, and the military-sponsored "Army News", "Battlefield News", "Star News" and other media have also "  The "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Each Showing Their Magical Powers" all used interview certificates obtained from unknown sources and went directly to the temporary base of the United Fleet.  Yi Lexiang, who was disturbed, ignored Wu Wei's objections and simply dispatched a team of mechas to surround the mecha regiment's station. He refused all interviews on the pretext that trespassing was not allowed in important military areas.  Another protagonist of the Orit Battle, Commander Meng Xujian of the 99th Mountain Infantry Division, also followed suit and closed the military camp.  This made the uncrowned kings of the military media furious. The lawsuit was brought directly to Dongfang Chen, the supreme commander of the "Republic" fortress. In the end, it was Lieutenant General Bo Jiangang who came forward to hold a small press conference to calm down the dispute.  A farce.  However, the two protagonists in the battle report, Yi Lexiang and Meng Xujian, did not appear from beginning to end.  In subsequent reports, the neglected military media "faithfully" recorded this.  Other media outlets that were gloating over the misfortune were already dissatisfied with the military media's early arrival and supported Yi Lexiang and others in their reports. The general public also seemed to regard Yi Lexiang's behavior as a sign of not being afraid of power, and questioned the military media's practices.  All of this made Yi Lexiang, who had not yet landed on the Capital Star, become very popular, and his prestige among the people increased instead of falling.  The youngest general of the Republic shrouded in a mysterious aura and the mysterious troops he leads have aroused greater curiosity among the people and the media.  Welcome groups spontaneously organized by many democratic groups were densely packed around the outer perimeter of the space fortress. Various slogans printed by laser light rendered the sky above the fortress colorful, like a grand festival celebration.

    Officials of the External Relations Department of the General Headquarters, who were originally busy considering how to eliminate the negative impact of Yi Lexiang's uncooperative behavior, were stunned by the dramatic development of the situation.  Wu Wei, who was stationed on the ground, was not only surprised, but also had a question in his mind.  Was the whole thing an accident or did Yi Lexiang do it intentionally?

    The Space Agency, which had been inefficient in the past, sent a special pass on the third day without even making any changes to the list of personnel submitted by the combined fleet; the Logistics Department also sent brand-new military uniforms and several modified ships.  The luxury space shuttle docks at the space port, and the much-anticipated welcome ceremony is finally ready!
