The night sky of Anokhi is as beautiful as ever. The three satellites of Anokhi in the starry sky tirelessly show off their bright bodies to the world. The moonlight mixed with three colors scattered on the earth makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale world. Looking up at the starry sky, you will find some bright spots that are constantly flashing around the three moons, like the magical tail flames of elves, which make people intoxicated. That is the huge body of the war fortress. These weapons used to destroy life have put away their ferocious fangs and merged with the world.
A lonely figure stood quietly on the edge of the Anokhi Forest. The air is filled with the scent of nature, spreading peace and tranquility along with the night. On the soft grass shrouded in the hazy night, a petite figure sat hugging his knees, looking at the lonely figure with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Axiang, are you feeling better?" There was a hint of weakness in the voice, "I'm all worried about you." The chill of the night made the petite figure shiver slightly, and she hugged her hand. Shoulders, so that he could warm himself up a little, there was a hint of trembling in his voice involuntarily.
Yi Lexiang turned around, took off his shirt that was already wet with dew and gently put it on the shoulders of the petite figure, "Yanxi, thank you for staying with me. I feel much better." There was pity in his voice, He sat down and pointed at the hazy black in the distance, "This used to be a battlefield. I, and many other soldiers like me, once fought bloody battles with Anokhi creatures here. That was my first experience in war. , I didn't understand anything at that time, and I wasn't as strong as I am now, but I lived a very happy life." The petite figure gently leaned his head on Yi Lexiang's shoulder and listened quietly.
"Later, I experienced some things, some unexplainable things. At that time, I was very proud of this, thinking that I could finally control my own destiny and protect everything I wanted to protect. But I was wrong. Survival and Death , battles and destruction, the more you experience, the more you lose. After all, the wheel of fate is not something that small humans can resist!" Yi Lexiang let out a heavy sigh.
"But they said that you protected many people and saved many lives. Aren't these wrong?" Meng Yanqian raised her head and looked at Yi Lexiang in confusion.
"But there are also many people who died because of me, and there are also many people I want to protect who I can't protect." Yi Lexiang lowered his head and stared at his hands.
"Academician Chen said that nature has its own set of laws. The evolution of living things is to break this set of laws. In the process of our evolution, there will be sacrifices when we make progress, until one day we truly break out of the cage that imprisons us. Just like those native creatures living in the forest," Meng Yanqian pointed at the forest shrouded in darkness in the distance with her white fingers, "They are the masters here, and they fight with us to survive, because we are outsiders, They are intruders, so they are just. However, we are here to survive, so that more people can survive better." Meng Yanqian tilted her head and thought for a while, as if she was thinking about how to express her feelings. mean. "So we are right too!" Meng Yanqian seemed a little confused by her own words. She continued to tilt her head and think, with a cute and confused expression on her face.
A faint smile appeared on Yi Lexiang's face. Meng Yanqian was always like this, often confused by her own words. He didn't speak, quietly enjoying the rare tranquility. The horizon began to show a thin light in the distance, indicating that a new day was coming.
"So we should work harder. As long as we break out of the shackles that bind us, we don't have to compete with them for living space. We can also help them. The reason why we have disputes with them is because essentially we are still the same as them creatures. As long as we shorten the process of our evolution, the harm caused will be smaller, right?"
Yi Lexiang looked at Meng Yanqian, who was leaning on his shoulder, dumbfounded. It was such a big topic and such a grand idea. I really didn¡¯t know what was in Meng Yanqian¡¯s little head, which was like a blank sheet of paper. Obviously, Meng Yanqian hasn't figured out the key to confusing herself. Humanity's own struggle is the source of everything. Greed, ambition, power, lust, human beings have too many bad roots, but none of these are found in Meng Yanqian's world. She is so pure and flawless, making people pity. But one thing, she is right - work harder and fight. Only when you are strong enough can you have the ability to change the world.
A ray of light pierced the darkness in the distance, the Anokhi sun slowly rose, and the entire land was enveloped in vitality. Meng Yanqian leaned quietly on Yi Lexiang's shoulder, with a faint smile on her face. She fell asleep after a sleepless night, and the morning sunlight reflected on her fair and red face, emitting a holy light. , like the legendary goddess who saves the world.
"Yanxi, thank you."
The following days were quiet and busy. Yi Lexiang shuttles back and forth between the Academy of Sciences and the headquarters every day. At the suggestion of Lieutenant General Bu Yun, the Abyss Fleet and the Task Force were disrupted and reorganized. The Charnoannoki Front was reorganized based on these two fleets, with Yi Lexiang as the highest military officer. Most of the old comrades such as "Bao Xiong" have been promoted to division level commanders. They are busy integrating the new army every day and rarely have the chance to meet again.
The old dean specially prepared a laboratory for him at the new site of the Academy of Sciences. This free laboratory is equipped with the most advanced experimental instruments on the Annoki planet, as well as a scientific research team composed of forty researchers. Normally, Yi Lexiang When not available, the "little fat man" is in charge.
Since receiving the news of the old marshal¡¯s death, the old dean has spoken a lot less. I run around in several scientific research groups every day and devote almost all my time to work. Both Yi Lexiang and Lieutenant General Bu Yun tried to persuade him several times, but the old dean still went his own way. Yi Lexiang had a vague feeling of ominous premonition. It seemed that the old dean was seizing every moment to pass on his knowledge to the young people. Yi Lexiang felt shuddering every time he thought of this.
Lieutenant General Bu Yun is always very busy every day and cannot even spare time to pay attention to the formation of the "New Army", leaving everything to Yi Lexiang. With the end of the "Abyss" project, the population of Anokhi at this time surged to nearly 300 million. Although daily administrative matters are handled by the interim government, most matters still require him, the supreme commander, to make the final decision. A few days ago, Yi Lexiang had a brief meeting with Lieutenant General Bu Yun. He obviously felt that the general was much older than before. Almost everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to military policy requires him to make decisions. In the words of the general, he is now an out-and-out politician, and the military seems to have been a long time ago.
In his spare time, Yi Lexiang sometimes runs alone to the endless Annuoji Prairie and silently looks up at the stars. Meng Yanqian would sometimes come to see him and accompany him for a walk on the prairie.
There has been no news from the huge interstellar fleet led by Chief of Staff Bai Jiangang, and no one knows their situation.
The days passed like this, and four months passed in the blink of an eye.
"Lieutenant General Yi, General Bu Yun is looking for you. He asked you to rush over immediately." A researcher opened the door of Yi Lexiang's office.
"Well?" Yi Lexiang raised his head from a pile of thick drawings and rubbed his sore eyes, "Did the general say anything?"
"No, he just asked you to hurry over. He seemed to be in a hurry."
"I understand. Call a few people over to sort out these drawings and see if they can be used." Yi Lexiang stood up and moved his aching hands and feet, pointing to the messy piles of drawings.
The researcher had a grimace on his face. If he had known earlier, he would have asked someone else to inform the general. Ever since he was assigned to this laboratory by the old dean, the general would have some new results every once in a while. It must be admitted that this general is indeed a genius. His amazing ideas span almost all disciplines known to mankind, and almost every one of them is a cross-era idea. However, it is obvious that this general does not pay much attention to the description of basic subjects. His ingenious ideas are like castles floating in the air, requiring a research team to supplement the relevant basic content. Moreover, this general also has a very bad habit of always writing wherever he thinks, so that his scientific research results are as obscure as a bible. Organizing his drawings and scientific research reports has become the most troublesome thing for all researchers. A young researcher once swore that the general was a genius and a genius murderer. Any researcher who compiled more than three reports in a row and waited for his final fate would definitely become a madman.
Yi Lexiang hurried out of the laboratory and jumped on the anti-gravity suspension car parked at the entrance of the laboratory. After activating the autopilot program, Yi Lexiang sat in the car and thought to himself. Anokhi was gradually getting on track these days. The only unresolved matter was the huge fleet led by Chief of Staff Bai Jiangang that had been lost. Yi Lexiang was a little excited when he thought of this. Could it be that the fleet evacuating from Kador has arrived? Calculated according to time, if everything goes well, their arrival date in the Anokhi Star Territory will be within these few days.
Walking into Lieutenant General Bu Yun¡¯s office, Yi Lexiang immediately knew that his inference was correct. The lieutenant general, who usually looked calm and composed, was pacing back and forth around his desk with a trace of unconcealable joy on his face.
"The fleet has arrived?"
"Yes." Bu Yun nodded vigorously, "An hour ago, the intelligence center received the fleet's encrypted information. They are now staying in the outer star field and are conducting final detection work."
"Is everything okay?" Yi Lexiang asked eagerly.
"In order to maintain confidentiality, the fleet will resume after sending the arrival message.into a silent state. They are confirming the safety of the surrounding space, and the next communication will be in about three hours. "
"Just in time, I took this time to assemble the fleet. It took the Chief of Staff three months to bring the fleet to Anokhi. We always have to hold a welcome ceremony. By the way, we also let them see the majesty of the Anokki Front, haha."
Bu Yun shook his head in a funny way, Yi Lexiang was going to give the other party a show of strength. However, he did not object to Yi Lexiang doing this. Kador's army is full of factions. In the face of danger, temporarily obeying the dispatch of the Ninth Fleet is just a stop-gap measure. When it comes to Anokhi's powerful starship commanders, they may not be able to cause any trouble for themselves. It's better to shock them first.
"The interstellar special operations team has set off secretly. I asked them to observe the situation first."
Yi Lexiang nodded. Annuoji is the last pure land belonging to Charno. Lieutenant General Bu Yun's caution is correct.
He walked to the window and looked up at the sky. In the vast space beyond the sky, a huge fleet that had gone through many hardships was waiting somewhere for the final moment to enter Anokhi. With their arrival, Anokhi will also become the most powerful military group in the Republic of Charno. Abyss, the task force, and the soon-to-arrive Kador fleet, most of Charno's elite troops will gather here, and Yi Lexiang can't help but feel a little pride in his heart.
Lieutenant General Bu Yun walked slowly to the window and stood side by side with Yi Lexiang, looking at the distant sky. "Although the future is full of thorns, we are full of pride. Everything will be better!"
