The fleet led by Ivan continued to move forward, regardless of the Gaia spacecraft chasing behind him. The universe is three-dimensional, and combat in three-dimensional is very different from Erwei. In fact, Ivan cannot come up with any good way to stop the Gaia spacecraft from approaching. Even if he divides troops to stop it now, it will be useless. The best way is to disperse and disengagement proposed by Lieutenant General Ji Jing.

But Ivan would not use this plan until the last resort. Once the fleet disperses, where will the warships that have left out fly? Returning to the earth, they can only throw themselves into the trap, but go to the boundless depths of the universe. With the current ability of their warships, they cannot do this at all. I am afraid that they will not be able to fly out of the solar system even if they spend their entire lives.

The result of dispersion and separation is obviously that it only obtains short-term security, and it is still facing difficulties in the end. Rather than doing this, it is better to continue to march towards Pluto, and there may be a glimmer of hope.

Ivan didn't know the real reason for this order, but he vaguely guessed a possibility. As one of the best astronauts on Earth and the commander who once drove the Starry Spaceship to Pluto, Ivan suddenly remembered something when he received this order.

He didn't know whether the answer was correct, but since General Mike Carson issued this order and handed over the command to him, Ivan decided to take a gamble.

In fact, there is not only Ivan who has this idea in the fleet, but also another person, that is, the captain of the War Horn, Brigadier General Hull.

Hull, who served as deputy captain of the Hades, is also the best astronaut on Earth, like Ivan. He also experienced Pluto's voyage. He even had one more experience than Ivan, that is, after Hades was captured by the Gaias, the Gaias spacecraft attempted to land on Pluto but suffered a crushing defeat.

When he received this order, Hell also thought of a possibility, but the difference was that Hell was even more convinced of this speculation than Ivan.

The reason is very simple. Hull escaped Hades at the critical moment and became the only person on the Hades spacecraft to escape. But after escaping, Hull himself knew very well that although he was temporarily safe, it was almost impossible to return to Earth with the space shuttle he was riding, because even if he flew according to inertia, the space shuttle would return to orbit near the earth one day. Don't forget that you can't stand the arrival of this day with the supplies on the space shuttle.

But Hull never expected that he had fallen into a coma inexplicably on a space shuttle. When he woke up, he had returned to the vicinity of the earth and was rescued. What was going on? Hull never understood what happened. He made many guesses to figure out the answer. But no matter that kind of guess, he could not confirm it.

When the headquarters of the Earth Space Fleet issued a letter to lead the fleet to break out in the direction of Pluto by Ivan as the supreme commander, Hull suddenly thought of a possibility in his shock, and as time went by, he became more and more certain about this speculation.

As the captain of the War Horn and a brigade general, Hull of course belongs to the senior staff of this fleet. Lieutenant General Ji Jing and Ivan's conversation and discussion Hull knew clearly through communication. When he saw Ivan rejecting Lieutenant General Ji Jing's suggestion of dispersing and disengagement and asking the fleet to continue to advance towards Pluto, Hull felt that he had fully understood.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..." Hull murmured to himself while standing on the bridge, his expression particularly complicated.

"General. What did you not expect?" Liao Zhiyuan asked in confusion as Hull's adjutant.

"Nothing..." Hull shook his head. Although he was sure of his guess in his heart, the guess had not been finally confirmed, and Hull felt that maybe it was a secret, the highest secret of the Earth's Space Fleet. Since Commander Ivan did not announce it, Hull, as a subordinate, could not say it out in advance.

However, after a glance at his adjutant, Major Liao Zhiyuan was a middle-aged man. Before he became his adjutant, Liao Zhiyuan had worked in China's Ministry of National Defense. He was also a confidential staff officer. Maybe he might know something.

"Liao, have you heard of Pluto?"

"Pluto?" Liao Zhiyuan thought for a while and asked: "I remember that the US government first discovered that Pluto has an alien base? By the way, General, you were once a member of the Hades. You have been to Pluto. What happened to the alien base there? Why didn't you land successfully back then?"

"Haha, there are some special reasons, I can't explain it clearly in a few words." Hull replied with a wry smile. It seemed that Liao Zhiyuan was indeed not clear about Pluto. Then, in order to confirm that he asked the Chinese Pioneer spacecraft again. Liao Zhiyuan only knew some of the situation of Pioneer, which was basically the same as what Hull knew.

"Are your guess wrong?" Hull frowned, and then thought that Chinese people always kept secrets very well. Perhaps this secret is not only kept secret from outsiders, but also from their own people. It is normal to think like this. If it were them, Americans would probably do this, after all, that is Pluto base!

The pursuit in space continues. In front is the part of the Earth's space fleet, and behind are the two spacecrafts of the chasing Gaias. On the third day after Ji Jing rejected the proposal of dispersing and disengagement, the distance between the two sides was much closer. According to the speed of both sides, in about two days, the Gaias who were chasing behind can enter the range range.

After the third day, Ivan began to order ships to send messages to Pluto continuously. The frequency of the signal was the frequency of the Earth's universe fleet, and sent to Pluto with human text information. Many people found it strange to this decision, and some even felt that Ivan was overly nervous. What is the use of sending such a signal to Pluto? Could it be that the Pluto base responded?

But Ivan's orders were still firmly executed, but what disappointed him was that Pluto did not react at all. As another day passed, when the fourth day was about to end, the Gaians' spacecraft was already very close to them. Looking at the countdown beating on the display screen, Ivan couldn't help but feel agitation in his heart.

"Damn it, am I wrong? If so, why should I issue this order?" At this time, Ivan was a little uncertain. The answer in his previous heart began to shake. After taking a look at the countdown, Ivan began to hesitate because he knew very well that if the other party directly entered the range of range and then dispersed and dispersed, then all their warships would not be able to escape.

"Continue or adopt a dispersion plan?" Yifan hesitated. He calculated the final time. The time left for him was only less than 6 hours. If there was no response at all, he could only issue the order for dispersion.

The 6-hour time seemed very long, but in fact it passed quickly. Time passed minute by minute in pursuit, and the time left for Ivan was soon over.

"Commander, Lieutenant General Ji Jing requested communication!"

“Click it in.”

"yes!"

The projection of the bridge flashed a moment. Soon it became clear from blur and Ji Jingzhong would appear in front of Ivan.

"Commander, we..."

"I know, we don't have much time left." Ivan interrupted the other party, looked at the time display and replied: "The critical time for dispersion and separation is still 51 minutes and 27 seconds. If this time is exceeded, the survival rate of each ship will drop sharply."

"Yes, Commander. I suggest you make a choice!" Ji Jing said seriously.

Nodded, Ivan replied: "Let the ships be prepared. Be ready to disperse and disperse at any time."

"Thank you, commander, I think you made the right choice." Lieutenant General Ji Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As a soldier, Ivan is the commander of this fleet after all. If he insists on his own, Lieutenant General Ji Jing even considers taking decisive measures. You should know that there is no difference between the two in terms of military rank and position. With Lieutenant General Ji Jing's prestige in the Earth Space Fleet, Ivan has no choice but to lead the team to leave toughly.

Fortunately, this incident did not happen after all. Ivan's mind was not hot. He clearly saw the crisis he was facing. Soon, the order for each ship to prepare for dispersion and separation was issued. The scheduled plan for dispersion and separation had been made long ago. The captains of each ship could implement the plan according to the plan.

Time passed minute by minute, and the information about Pluto's request for help was still sent, but Pluto was still silent and had no reaction.

Finally, the time for dispersion and separation was reached. With Ivan's order, the ships began to disperse according to the plan. At this moment, the fleet originally arranged in a formation suddenly seemed like fireworks. The ships began to disperse in all directions as the center of the Advance. From a distance, they looked like a flower that suddenly bloomed in the universe.

The Earth Space Fleet suddenly dispersed and escaped from the Gaia spacecraft that was somewhat beyond the pursuit. The other party responded only after continuing to advance a distance in the original orbit. In terms of quantity, of course, there were more people on Earth, and the Gaia only sent two spacecraft. However, the strength gap between the two sides was very obvious. The Earth Space Fleet and other warships could not repel the other party. However, the Earth did not turn around and fight desperately, but instead adopted the method of dispersing and disengagement. In this way, the two spacecraft wanted to chase the warships that had been disengaged from all directions, and even the Gaias could not do it.

In the end, the Gaians' spacecraft chose two goals, which were exactly the fleet's flagship Progress and the War Horn where Hull was located.

After issuing the order to disperse and detach, the Advance will continue to move towards Pluto according to the predetermined plan, and the War Horn will depart about 20 degrees above the left of Pluto. Since the two warships are the warships closest to the original route, the Gaians quickly took them as the pursuit target. One of the Gaians' spacecraft slightly adjusted its course and chased towards the War Horn that changed its route, while the other spacecraft continued to sail according to the original route and pursued the Advance.

Bruce stared at the screen, and the Gaian spacecraft behind him continued to approach them little by little, and the distance between the two sides was also shortening.

"The opponent has 36 minutes to enter the range!" Bruce reminded.

Ivan just nodded slightly but did not react. He stood in front of the chair on the bridge like a sculpture, looking up at Pluto, which was clearly visible in front of him.

"There are 33 minutes left!" Bruce's forehead was sweating. It was logical that it was impossible to get so hot inside the constant temperature hull. He was mainly nervous. In fact, it was not only Bruce, but Zheng Jian not far away. Although his face seemed very serious, his hands clenched his fists and placed on his knees had long exposed his inner tension.

“29 minutes!”

Every time Bruce shouted, Zheng Jian's heart hopped heavily. He turned his gaze to Ivan who was still standing. Zheng Jian found that Ivan's expression had not changed at all, as if there was no spaceship behind him chasing him.

Zheng Jian's heart sank. He knew that the reason why Ivan kept moving forward without giving any instructions was probably because he wanted to use them as bait to disperse the time for other warships to escape. The same choice as the Forward was also the War Horn. When another Gaia spacecraft adjusted its course to pursue the War Horn, the War Horn did not make any moves to transfer the route. I am afraid that Hull's thoughts were the same as Ivan's at this moment.

“27 minutes!”

Another 2 minutes passed, and the time for the Advancement was not much. All the personnel on the Advancement had understood the results they were about to face. The War Horn had a little more time than the Advancement. This was because the Gaians' spacecraft adjusted the route and won about 15 minutes for the War Horn, but these 15 minutes were not very useful. Once they were bitten by the other party, the result was conceivable.

“25 minutes!”

When I heard that there were only 25 minutes left, Ivan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were still looking at Pluto in front of him, and his thoughts seemed to return to the past with the vast universe background. From the carefree childhood, to the youth who was determined to become an astronaut, to the day after hard work, he finally stepped on a rocket and flew into space for the first time...

There are also the happy experiences of working in the space station later, the scenes of training young astronauts in the training center, and the ambitions of leading the Starry Sky to the depths of the universe, which made Ivan feel infinitely moved.

"The starry sky... is so beautiful!"

The voice of Bruce's time was heard in his ears. Whether there were 23 minutes or 22 minutes left was no different for Ivan. His eyes were fixed on the vast starry sky, the universe that was constantly shining with such a brilliant light, and the yellowish planet that once occupied a very important position in his life and career in front of him.

"Pluto..." Ivan recited its name, maybe this was his destination. Just as he had accepted reality and was about to face the arrival of the last moment, suddenly he felt a lit up before his eyes. The Pluto, which was inconspicuous in the universe, emitted a very strong light in an instant. This light suddenly cut through the space like a sharp sword and stabbed straight in the direction where they were. (To be continued...)
