The Alt Nebula, which is the edge of the solar system, will in a sense, just like when the concept of a country existed on Earth hundreds of years ago, there are national boundaries between countries, and today's Alt Nebula is equivalent to the "boundary line" between the solar system and other small galaxies.▲∴▲∴,

With the end of the Second War between Earth Civilization and Gaia Civilization more than 400 years ago, the Earth Civilization finally won the victory in this war. The Alt Nebula was operated by the Earth Civilization as the boundary line of the galaxy. In the Alt Nebula, all airspace belongs to the scope of Earth civilization, and outside the Alt Nebula, it is like the existence of the "high seas" of the Earth in the early years.

In fact, in the past few decades, the Earth civilization has gradually expanded outward, and the tentacles of the Earth civilization have even extended to the direction of the "Golden Galaxy" discovered by Su Yichen and others. However, for external expansion, Earth civilization basically starts with science and exploration, and has not carried out large-scale colonization operations. Of course, there is a reason why this is this. Unlike other cosmic civilizations in the Milky Way, the Earth civilization surrounded by the vast Alt Nebula has innate geographical advantages. The entire Alt Nebula is equivalent to a natural barrier of the solar system. Relying on the protection of the Alt Nebula, it is difficult to accurately locate the transition flight. Even the natural changes of the nebula must be considered in the state of curvature flight, otherwise it will cause the result of ship destruction and death.

In the last war, the main battlefield between the Earth Civilization and the Gaia Civilization was the Orte Nebula. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage of the Orte Nebula, the Earth Civilization barely resisted the crazy attack of the Gaia Civilization in the first ten years of the war, and gained valuable time for the subsequent counterattack and the final victory of the war.

In addition, outside the Alt Nebula, that is, the few small galaxies bordering the solar system do not have cosmic civilizations, and even the most primitive original planets have not been formed. Of course, with the current technological capabilities of the Earth civilization that has entered the secondary cosmic civilization, it is theoretically possible to transform a Earth-like planet in a small galaxy outside the solar system for inhabitation. But you must know that if you do this, the Earth civilization will invest a lot of manpower and material resources, which is not worth the effort.

Therefore, the current Earth civilization is still based on the Alt Nebula as the scope, with the main goal of ensuring the safety of the solar system. Perhaps when the Earth civilization enters the third-level cosmic civilization or even higher, those poor small galaxies near the solar system will form a state of great development.

In order to ensure control of the Alt Nebula and to provide good defense capabilities for the solar system, Earth civilization spent nearly 200 years to set up 11 forward bases in the Alt Nebula. These forward bases are transformed based on some small Earth-like planets inside the Alt Nebula as structures, and the 7 forward base where Lynch is located is one of them.

The 7th forward base was built on a small earth-type planet with a diameter of about 1,730 kilometers. The size of this small earth-type planet is about 70% of Pluto. Earth civilization has established a perfect setting on its surface, and the main structure of the forward base is set deep in its surface. From the surface, the overall layout of the 7th forward base is somewhat similar to the Pluto base. In fact, this is also a normal thing, because 9 of the 11 forward bases in the Alt Nebula were completely built according to the structure of the Pluto base, and the construction of the other two forward bases also refers to the structure of the Pluto base, but in some aspects, it has been changed according to the characteristics of the small-type planets where it is located.

Lynch is the commander of the No. 7 Advance Base and the rank of colonel. Although his work is mainly responsible for the management of the No. 7 Advance Base and the reconnaissance, cruise, etc. of the jurisdiction, he is not a member of the space fleet, but an officer of the Solar System Defense Committee, another important military department of the Earth civilization.

Although it is a forward base, the 7th forward base is well established like the Pluto base. Not only are there soldiers living on the base, there are also a small defense squadron of the space fleet. The supreme commander of the squadron is a young major, administratively under Lynch's command, but in emergencies, according to the military structure and command system of the earth's civilization, this small defense squadron has certain autonomy.

In addition, there are nearly 10,000 ordinary people at the No. 7 advance base. Among these ordinary people, there are scientists, technicians and even ordinary citizens of the earth. They live in artificial cities below the base, and all resources can be provided by the ecological balance circle in the base. Of course, apart from these, the transport spacecraft that travels to and from the earth and the base will also regularly bring a lot of supplies to the base to meet the needs of the base.

Lynch is 39 years old this year. This age is the golden age for a soldier. He was born about 360 years after the Earth civilization won the war. As a soldier who grew up in peace, it is rare to get the rank of colonel and take over the highest authority of a forward base at the age of his age.

Although Lynch's family background is very good, his good family background and his degree from the highest military academy of the Earth Federation gave him more advantages than ordinary people in the military, he obtained this military rank and obtained this position more than taking his own efforts, rather than relying on the power of his family as ordinary people imagine.

More than 20 years ago, Lynch, who graduated from the military academy, won the rank of lieutenant with outstanding results. Then he entered the space fleet to serve. During his service, Lynch made his mark in a military exercise. The small assault ship under his command almost reversed the entire exercise situation. Since this time, Lynch, a young soldier, was noticed by the above. It is said that the Space Fleet Command even planned to transfer him to the headquarters' staff. Such a good opportunity was rejected by Lynch. You must know that once you enter the headquarters' staff, it is equivalent to allowing a soldier to clear the obstacles to progress. In addition, his family background, his future prospects are limitless. But no one expected that Lynch not only rejected this great opportunity, but also actively signed up for the escort work of a scientific research and expedition team. This work is not only stressful, but the work is boring and there is no time for others to hide, but Lynch took the initiative to apply for joining.

After obtaining approval from the superiors, Lynch was transferred from the space fleet to the Federal Academy of Sciences directly under the Earth Federation to serve as the escort mission of the scientific research and expedition team. In the next decade, Lynch completed the mission many times, and was calm and decisive when an expedition team encountered an accident, thus allowing the entire expedition team to return safely.

Because of this reason, Lynch was awarded medals many times and his military rank was gradually promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. When Lynch was 35 years old, the commander of the No. 7 advance base was transferred back to Earth. After being recommended by the military, Lynch was transferred to the Solar System Defense Committee. At the same time, he was sent to the No. 7 advance base to serve.

Over the past four years, Lynch won praise from his superiors for his outstanding work, and promoted the rank of lieutenant colonel to colonel. Such promotion speed is rare in peacetime, not to mention that Lynch, as the commander of the No. 7 forward base, was still the only one. Many people agreed that Lynch was promoted to brigade general before the age of 45, and the star of the general was just around the corner.

Today, as usual, Lynch got up at 5 a.m. Although he was far away from the Earth, the work and rest time inside the base was exactly the same as that on the Earth, and even the artificial sun rise and fall inside the city was basically synchronized with the Earth.

Lynch, who is used to early exercise, spent more than an hour running and swimming. Then he took a shower and changed into a military uniform, and watched the news sent while eating breakfast. Although he was far away from the earth, due to the advancement of technology, the news on the earth was still very timely except for a slight delay.

At half past 6:30, Lynch finished drinking the milk in the cup, put down the smart terminal and got up. The adjutant who had been prepared had been waiting at the door and got on the car. The autonomous wheelless hover truck quickly got on the track and rushed towards the command center.

"Col. Today, the work arrangement you are mainly dealing with is like this..." Sitting in the car, Lynch listened quietly to the adjutant's report. It was completely different to manage a forward base and command a spaceship. Lynch's work is more like the highest local commander who is being taken charge of by the military and political affairs. He not only has to be responsible for military work, but also manages the daily work of the entire base, including personnel arrangements.

These are all very tedious things, but Lynch, who has excellent abilities, did a good job. This is also an important point when he was recognized and praised by his superiors after he became the commander. While listening to the report, Lynch silently considered today's work arrangements. After the adjutant finished reporting, Lynch briefly adjusted the several arrangements he made in advance. The adjutant nodded repeatedly and tapped his fingers on the smart screen to make adjustments.

There were still a few minutes away from the command center. Suddenly, the emergency communication in the car lit up, and the red light flashed, and the adjutant was stunned. When he realized that, Lynch had instantly connected the communication.

"What's up?"

"Report to the sir! I found that the UFO was sailing towards the nebula from outside the solar system. The opponent was extremely fast and was expected to arrive at the base area of ​​No. 7 in 30 minutes..."

"Ultimate spacecraft? Extremely fast?" Lynch frowned. These words were simply too general. As a commander, he always didn't like the ambiguous words that his subordinates said when reporting.

"Distance! Speed! The other party's origin?" Lynch asked three questions briefly.

However, the duty staff at the command center could not answer. Just as Lynch's face turned a little dark, the adjutant who knew his personality quickly reminded him: "Are there any images? Pass the images immediately!"

"Yes! You wait." The on-duty staff replied quickly. Soon a vague image was transmitted to Lynch through the terminal. Through the image, it was a spacecraft with a strange shape but beautiful appearance. It was indeed as the on-duty staff said, the other party's speed was extremely fast, and this speed was not in curvature navigation, but in ordinary navigation. Judging from the preliminary data, this speed was almost astonishing.

"Contact the other party immediately and ask the other party to indicate their identity. All personnel in the entire base gathered urgently, and all entered a wartime state. Notify the fleet to attack at any time and transmit all information to the earth..." Lynch did not think much and quickly issued a series of orders. The on-duty personnel nodded repeatedly to agree. Lynch closed the communication casually. The adjutant who had taken the automatic operation knew the speed of the car and opened the highest priority of the car. The track in front of the car automatically restricted the remaining vehicles. The car carrying Lynch was almost at the highest speed to the command center.

When Lynch came to the command center, the entire command center was already busy. At this moment, the unknown spacecraft was very close to the advance base of No. 7. From the projection, the spacecraft still showed no sign of slowing down and flew towards the area they were talking about.

Lynch watched the spaceship. He was sure that it was a spaceship shape that he had never seen before. And as the proportion of the spaceship gradually became certain, he was even more surprised at the size of the spaceship.

After the Earth civilization entered the second-level universe civilization, its spacecraft construction ability was already very strong. Even during the first-level universe civilization, Earthlings were able to build huge space cities. But it is one thing. To fly such a huge artificial celestial body at this conventional speed, let alone the Earth civilization cannot do it, I am afraid that even the Blue Star civilization will be able to do it.

Are the enemies or friends? Who is the other party? What are their intentions to come to the edge of the solar system? These questions made Lynch frown deeply. After all, the war between the Earth civilization and the Gaia civilization has only been a few hundred years. Although the Gaia civilization failed in the war, as an old second-level cosmic civilization, it has always been unwilling to accept such an ending. Over the years, the Gaia people often sent some spy spacecraft on the edge of the solar system to test and treasure the Earth civilization. Lynch served as the commander of the base and dealt with this situation, but this time it seems a little different. Could it be the helper found by the Gaia people?

At this time, the commander of the base fleet also arrived at the command center and took the initiative to salute Lynch. Lynch replied and pointed at the image of the unknown spacecraft. Just as he was about to say something, a second lieutenant of the base suddenly shouted: "Sir! The other party sent a message!"

"Communication? Has the other party identified his identity?" Lynch turned his head and asked hurriedly.

"Yes, sir, but... but..." The second lieutenant looked extremely strange, and he seemed to be unable to believe the content of the communication in front of him.

"But what? Talk!"

"You...you'll come and see it yourself."

Lynch strode to the correspondent, and was also stunned when he saw the displayed communication content at a glance, because the content was so strange that he couldn't believe it.

The communication content is very short, with only one line of words and sentences on it, and these are words arranged in Chinese and English.
