Pluto Base, if the 11 forward bases of the Ort Nebula are the outer cordons of the solar system, then Pluto Base is the middle-level defensive fortress of the solar system. The Pluto Base, which has Rand civilization technology, played a great role in the war between Earth civilization and Gaia civilization. If it were not for the existence of Pluto Base, it would be difficult for the Earth civilization to resist when the Gaia civilization attacked wildly. Pluto Base not only played a role in stabilizing the front line, but also because of its particularity, the Gaia civilization's fleet could not directly break into the core of the solar system during the war, and at the same time restrained the enemy's strength.

As we entered the era of cosmic civilization, the technological level of the earth civilization has been greatly improved. Although compared with the overall strength, the earth civilization was weaker than the Gaia civilization, compared with the first Earth Defense War, the earth civilization at least had the power to fight back.

As a base and the outermost periphery of several major planets in the solar system, Pluto base can naturally play a greater role than during the first Earth defense war. As the war continues, the importance of Pluto base is becoming more and more important, and the earth's technology has further developed. By chance, after breaking through the first-level cosmic civilization and becoming the second-level cosmic civilization, the scale of victory of the war will naturally tilt towards the direction of the Earth civilization. This is also the key to the ultimate victory of the war by the Earth civilization.

Therefore, in the earth civilization, the importance of the Pluto base is extremely unique, and it is even higher than the moon base of the cosmic fleet and the transformed and improved Mars base. Unfortunately, after more than 400 years of hard work, the Earth civilization has not yet fully grasped the authority of the Pluto base. But all people on earth believe that with the development of the Earth civilization, not only the Pluto base, but even the Earth base that has been dormant in a state will one day become the real wealth of the Earth civilization.

Due to the importance of Pluto Base, the highest commander of the base was promoted from the original brigadier general level. After the war, the Earth federal government finally determined the rank of the highest commander of the Pluto Base. Anyone who serves as the highest commander of the Pluto Base must be the rank of general. At the same time, he is not only responsible for the military and political affairs of the entire Pluto Base, but also serves as the commander-in-chief of the frontier defense circle of the solar system. The 11 forward bases of the Alt Nebula are also under the jurisdiction of the Pluto Base. Even the several space cities near the base are also managed by the highest commander of the base and civil affairs personnel.

General Elk is the current commander-in-chief of the base. General Elk, who was born before the period of cosmic civilization, is a legend in the army. During the First Battle of Earth Defense, General Elk was just an ordinary civilian, and the outbreak of the war changed his life's destiny.

That year, General Elk joined the civil resistance organization that resisted the Gaia civilization's invasion of the earth. He was then absorbed by regular troops and started from an ordinary soldier. After the war of defense, General Elk was promoted to a non-commissioned officer due to his military achievements. After the war, General Elk, who was supposed to join the reorganized army, submitted a report on his entry into the military academy to his superiors. With the approval of his superiors, he was admitted to the Federal Non-commissioned Academy with a secondary grade, and after graduation, he entered the Federal Military Academy for further studies.

During his school days, Admiral Elk's academic performance was not very good. Compared with those students with bright grades, he was an easy person to be ignored. However, when he was reassigned to the space fleet after graduation, Admiral Elk's military talent and keen sensitivity to the battlefield changes of complexity made everyone admire him.

In the second war between the Earth Civilization and the Gaia Civilization, Elk, who was already competent as a captain, made many military achievements as an inconspicuous small assault ship captain. He seemed to be a natural warrior on the battlefield. With a keen sense of smell and judgment, he could detect the enemy's intentions in a very short time, and then concentrate his strength to punch the enemy's weakest part through a fierce punch.

In the army, General Elk has the reputation of being a falcon, and he is called a falcon because he is like an eagle circling high in the sky and can observe the battle situation with a global perspective. Then, when necessary, he attacks the prey in an unexpected way.

At the end of the war, General Elk was awarded the rank of lieutenant general for his merits and commanded a squadron with strong combat power. Some even think that if his starting point was not too low, as a famous general in the Second War, it is possible that General Elk would be awarded the rank of marshal and became the highest military commander on the front line of the Earth Federation.

In the subsequent peace period, General Elk was promoted to the rank of general more than 100 years ago and became one of the highest rank holders of several major military commanders after the Earth Federation. Based on actual age, General Elk is nearly 500 years old. With the development of Earth civilization, human life has also been greatly continued. Now the average life expectancy of ordinary people on earth has exceeded 300 years old. If some hibernation and other means are added, there are many people who live to the age of 500.

As a senior general of the military, General Elk certainly has such authority. However, compared with those senior generals who have good maintenance, his appearance is like a real old man. But facing such an old general, everyone can feel the strong iron blood and tenacity from his bones. In the current army, his prestige even surpasses Marshal Damon, the commander-in-chief of the space fleet.

As the supreme commander of the Pluto base, he has extremely high authority and must also have the ability to handle complex situations. Therefore, the military specially placed this veteran general in this important position. Unfortunately, as time goes by, General Elk's term of office is about to arrive. According to the regulations of the Earth Federal Government, any military giant serving in such a position shall not be more than 30 years, and now there is only less than a year left before the 30-year term.

"Please get me another cup of tea." In the core area of ​​the base, this is Admiral Elk's office. For nearly 30 years, this office has been the place he stays for the longest time every day. As usual, after he finished an instruction from a report, he reached out to pick up the teacup on his left hand. When he saw that the teacup was empty, he frowned slightly, and then stretched the teacup to the left and said.

"General, the doctor said you..." The adjutant looked at the tea cup that Admiral Elk was holding in embarrassment.

"I know, don't you just say you can't drink more of these drinks? It's okay, I know my body myself. Besides, with the current technology of our earth civilization, are you still worried that I, the old man, would have a braid because of a few sips of tea?" Admiral Elk said impatiently, and at the same time lifted the cup in his hand and signaled to the adjutant.

The adjutant didn't know how to deal with it. As the adjutant of General Elk, he has been in this position for more than ten years. If it was ordinary tea, he would certainly not refuse to give it to his superiors. However, the superior likes to drink a special milk tea, and has high requirements for this milk tea. Reject all artificially synthesized dairy products, including sweet additives, and natural, non-fatted milk and sugar must be used. However, these things are not very good for the health of the elderly. Drinks containing a large amount of calories are not suitable for people like him. The doctor does not know how many times he persuades. But General Elk is good, and every time he nods in front of the doctor, he accepts humbly, but when he turns around, he still does his own way.

He sighed lightly, and the adjutant, who had no choice but to take the teacup and run to the side to prepare this special drink for the superior. After a while, a cup of milk tea with a sweet smell was placed on the desk of General Elk. General Elk couldn't wait to pick it up and took a sip, and his eyebrows, which had just been slightly cramped, instantly stretched out.

"Not bad, Xiao Li. Your craftsmanship has improved greatly!" Elke praised with a smile.

The adjutant was so amused that he could not laugh or cry, but he knew the superior's temper and could only nod and say where.

"Don't be humble, I have been drinking this kind of tea for a lifetime. I have been drinking it since I was a child until now. People with craftsmanship like you are rare in my hometown. Even most of my tribe members can't do this!" Admiral Elk praised sincerely, and then tasted the tea and sighed: "It's a pity that this place is too far from my hometown. If you can watch the white clouds in the sky in the afternoon in my hometown, on the green grassland. It feels like savoring such a cup of tea during your work.

The adjutant laughed when he heard these words. I don’t know how many times he heard from the superiors over the years. However, as General Elk’s term ended, he will leave the Pluto base and return to Earth. Then he can go back to his hometown to see the picturesque scenery.

"General, after you go back to report your work, I will accompany you to your hometown. We can stay there for a few days."

"This is a must, but I need to correct it, not to stay for a few days. Instead, to live back to your hometown forever."

The adjutant was stunned: "General, you mean..."

Admiral Elke nodded slightly and said quietly: "I have been busy enough in my life. I have spent hundreds of years in the military camp. The older this person is, the more homesick he misses. I have already considered it. When the term of office is over, I will submit a retirement report to the headquarters. At that time, I will not be in office and be light. I will go back to my hometown to retire. Haha, I have been away from my hometown for so many years. I really want to..."

In his emotion, General Elk's eyes showed an expression of incomparable attachment and expectation. The adjutant swallowed his words back in his mouth. As he said himself, the old general had not returned to his hometown for so many years. As he grew older, his attachment and longing for his hometown became deeper and deeper.

Just as he was about to comfort the chief, the instrument on the deputy vibrated his wrist vibrated violently. He hurriedly connected the communication, and his face changed drastically after hearing the other party's words.

"What! What did you say? UFO?"

"What's going on?" General Elk asked suddenly when he heard the conversation.

The adjutant said something to the other party and immediately connected the communications and office communication equipment. A few seconds later, the projection of the officer on duty at the command headquarters of the Pluto Base appeared in front of them.

"General! The 7th advance base just sent an emergency communication, saying that an unidentified spacecraft suddenly appeared near the Alt Nebula, and the other party's navigation direction was our solar system..."

"Have the news been verified?" General Elk asked with a frown.

"It has been verified, and the communication password can be completely confirmed that it is indeed the forward base No. 7 when sending an emergency communication."

"Turn me the system duty room and ask the base system to scan."

"yes!"

The order was issued immediately, and soon the base system received a request for assistance. According to the reserved system permissions, the base system was immediately activated. After a while, the scene of the Alt Nebula appeared in front of General Elk.

"This..." When he saw the Home Spaceship, General Elk was as stunned as Lynch, commander of the No. 7 advance base. Even the veteran of the army who had been through many battles could not recognize which cosmic civilization the spaceship belonged to. Moreover, based on his experience, this huge spaceship is definitely not simple. Perhaps the cosmic civilization that owns it is a cosmic civilization that is much higher than the earth civilization. It seems that the other party is not good.

"Contact the 7th forward base immediately to let the other party reveal his identity and be prepared to attack at any time." Admiral Elk immediately issued an order without thinking too much. As a soldier, the most taboo thing is to hesitate. In this case, the faster the reaction, the better, even if this reaction is wrong. Only in this way can we take response measures in the shortest time to avoid being caught off guard.

As soon as the order was issued, the communication officer suddenly said with a strange look: "General, the other ship sent a communication from him, they said... they said..."

"What do they say? Don't hesitate and have a slut!"

"The full text of the communication is as follows: This is the Earth Civilization Home spacecraft, my compatriots, we are finally back..."

The communication officer read out the communication sent by the Home Spacecraft to the 7th forward base. When he heard this, Admiral Elk couldn't believe his ears. The other party actually claimed to be a member of the Earth civilization, the Home Spacecraft? However, Admiral Elk, as a key member of the military, could confirm that no spaceship in the Earth civilization had ever called this name, and he had never built such a spacecraft.

"Nonsense! What Home Number? Let No. 7 advance to base again confirm the other party's identity, and warn the other party to stop moving forward immediately. If you refuse to fire immediately!" Admiral Elke slapped the table and shouted, don't think that other cosmic civilizations are gentlemen. None of the civilizations that can become cosmic civilizations in the entire universe are fuel-efficient. This was confirmed long ago in the war with the Gaia civilization. The other party's so-called communication may be a rumor that confuses them. You must never believe anything at this time.

After issuing this order, Admiral Elk even asked the Pluto system to carefully scan the spacecraft to figure out who the other party was. However, just after the base system was activated, a synchronous image appeared at the 7th forward base and the Pluto base at the same time. At this time, the technicians at the system duty room of the Pluto base were shocked to find out that they had lost the control of the base system.
