Chapter 480 Eternal Base
Ivan, this is a very ordinary name. There are many men who call this name among the Eastern European ethnic groups on Earth. When Su Zhe was in middle school in Europe, there were two Ivans among his classmates. In order to distinguish them, the classmates specially called them "Big Ivan" and "Little Ivan" respectively.
However, in the entire Earth civilization, there is only one person with the title of starry sky before Ivan's name. This person is the legendary Russian astronaut, the squadron commander of the Earth Federal Government's Space Fleet, and the second highest commander of the Space Fleet.
This is a person who left a strong mark in the history of Earth civilization, and a legendary astronaut, soldier and hero. Su Zhe once read records about Ivan in his history textbook, as well as photos of him wearing a space suit and a marshal's uniform.
This man, who is not tall and even shorter than ordinary people, is an idol of countless soldiers, and among these soldiers, Su Zhe's good friend Tom.
Ivan's active historical era was in the same era as Su Yichen and his wife. He also directly experienced the first and second wars of Earth civilization and Gaia civilization. In the Second War, Ivan, who had been promoted to the supreme commander of the space fleet, laid the foundation for Earth civilization to win this war with outstanding command. However, when the Second Earth Civilization and Gaia civilization war ended and everyone on earth who won this war was happy, Ivan quietly withdrew from the military and first served as the military adviser to the federal president under the federal government's help. But not long after, Ivan resigned from this position and completely faded out of the military and political circles.
Few people know about Ivan's later life. Su Zhe certainly would not know about Ivan's life after retirement, including his family. But he never expected that his lover, Anfiya, was the descendant of the once famous Starry Sky Ivan. Su Zhe was surprised.
The world is indeed too small. If Su Zhe had not learned about his parents' situation from Su Li and Gao Jian before, he might have been shocked at this moment. But now, although Su Zhe was still shocked, it was just faint, and he was more moved by the coincidence arranged by this fate.
With the progress of Earth civilization, the development of medical care and the overcoming of various diseases, human life has also continued greatly. Now, ordinary people have an average life of more than 360 years without accidents. As for people who live longer, there are many people, such as Su Zhe's parents, Gao Jian, Kevin Adams, Luo Yan's students General Elk and Marshal Hu Gang. However, except for Elk and Hu Gang, the experiences of the rest are more complicated, and the years they spent are somewhat different in some aspects.
But from this point of view, as a figure in the Earth civilization before the universe civilization, it is normal for Ivan to live until modern times. However, after retirement, Ivan lived in a very low-key life. He returned to the place where he grew up and lived, like an ordinary old man. Who knows that he was a person who once galloped through the storm?
This is the same as General Elk, Marshal Hu Gang and others. After retirement, these old soldiers chose to completely withdraw from the world's sight and return to the peaceful life of their former residence. Perhaps the fight on the battlefield, only this ordinary pastoral life can make them feel tranquility.
"Your great-grandfather is an amazing person." Su Zhe said to Ivan, who looked like an ordinary old man in the photo.
"That's just the evaluation of him from the outside world. In my eyes, he is just a kind old man, an ordinary old man." Looking at the photo, Anfiya answered calmly, but she could see that there was a deep attachment and lingering sadness in her eyes. Su Zhe understood what she was thinking. As she said, for her, her great-grandfather was just her relative, an old man who had been with her since childhood. She would tell many stories and love herself, rather than the cold description and praise in the history books.
Su Zhe may not have this feeling, but now he has it. The same is true for his parents, no matter how great they are in Su Li, Gao Jian, or the people who know their deeds. But parents are parents, their unique relatives, and everything that cannot be replaced.
Gently holding An Feiya in her arms, Su Zhe just leaned her head on her shoulder, but didn't say anything else. But at this time, An Feiya felt in her heart that Su Zhe understood her, and he understood herself, which made her feel moved and sweet in her heart.
At Anfiya's home, Su Zhe and his team spent nearly a week, living a dull and warm life like ordinary people in the town. Time passed quickly and in a blink of an eye, although Su Zhe and Anfiya couldn't bear to leave this place, they still had to go back to where they should go and continue to do what they should do.
The enthusiastic grandmother prepared the most sumptuous dinner for them, looking at them with a smile, but said nothing else to keep them. The grandmother knew that when the eagle grew up, its future was not about being attached to the eagle, but about soaring in the sky. Maybe when the eagle grows up, it will return to the warm nest for the rest of her life, but this will definitely not be the present. The grandmother just hopes to see the couple really get together earlier, and at that time, she will sincerely send them the most precious blessings.
"Let's go!"
Before getting on the speed, Anfiya and Su Zhe turned around and looked at the town again, and then boarded the speed together. The speed took off quickly and headed towards the capital. After returning to the capital, Anfiya will go to a new department to take up a new position. As for Su Zhe, he will also do a series of preparations before the laboratory work. However, they have agreed that at most a year, they will come back again. By then, Su Zhe will put a ring on Anfiya here and enter the palace of marriage.
When Su Zhe and his friends returned to the capital, Su Li and Gao Jian had just arrived at the permanent base close to the artificial wormhole. The code name of this base is "Eternal", so it is also called the Eternal Base.
To explore the Andromeda system, the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization have mobilized huge resources and done a lot of work. It can be seen from the name of the base alone that they actually intend to build this base as a new artificial life planet, because the main body of the base is built on a ground-like asteroid.
This asteroid is not big, and its size and mass are only slightly larger than the moon, but it is much more difficult than the construction of a lunar base. You should know that the moon is the Earth's satellite, and the Earth is the only life planet in the solar system. In the entire solar system, the sun is the center, and everything revolves around the sun.
Only with the existence of the sun can life be born on the earth, and the sun has brought many convenient aspects to the construction of the moon base. For example, the cities and life cycle systems of the moon base are inseparable from the sun. This includes the same thing as Mars, which is now colonized and transformed by humans. Although the environment is harsh compared to the earth, Earth civilization has overcome a series of difficulties and achieved success.
But the eternal base is different. Although it is a small galaxy, the sun of this small galaxy is unstable. Moreover, for some other reasons, some terrestrial planets close to the sun are not suitable for establishing bases. In addition, the location of artificial wormholes and the importance of defense, so the site selection of the base was finally placed on this asteroid.
It is precisely for these reasons that there are many difficulties in establishing a base here, and it is difficult to achieve it with the power of the earth civilization. Fortunately, since the entire project is a cooperation between two cosmic civilizations, the high technology of the Blue Star civilization has overcome these difficulties. After decades of construction, the entire base has already had complete operational capabilities.
But when Su Li and the others came to the base's airport, it was extremely busy. Many warships were coming and going in and out of the base's airport, including some transport ships with huge installations. According to Gao Jian, this is because the other side of the artificial wormhole, that is, the space city where the Andromeda system is located, the support needed for defense. It seems that the upper level of the company has begun to mobilize all resources and must defend against the Andromeda system's space city no matter what.
A high-built spacecraft has certain privileges in the eternal base. When the spacecraft is close to the base and issues a message code representing it, the base intelligent brain guides the spacecraft into the airport and then docks at the designated berth.
The spacecraft leaned onto the berth. The cabin door opened, Gao Jian and Su Li walked straight out, Gao Jian walked in front, Su Li followed closely behind. But Gao Jian had just walked across the pier and suddenly stopped. Su Li behind him looked forward at the same time as Gao Jian's gaze, and saw an acquaintance at first glance.
"Why are you here?" Gao Jian quickly took a few steps, and the other party also took the initiative to greet him. The two shook hands.
"Can I not come to this situation now?" Tang Le looked at a warship not far away that was preparing to leave the port, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth.
Gao Jian nodded silently. This is true. The exploration project of the Andromeda system consumed a lot of manpower and material resources from the two civilizations, and also entrusted the ambitions of both sides for the expansion of the universe. At this time, what happened in the Andromeda system caused a huge change in the entire plan, and a series of uncertain factors may even lead to the failure of the plan. As a senior member of the Blue Star civilization and one of the persons in charge of the Andromeda system exploration plan, why can Tang Le sit still at this time?
"Hello Su Li, I'm so happy to see you." Tang Le's eyes quickly moved from Gao Jian to Su Li, and nodded to her with a smile. However, judging from the relationship between Tang Le and Su Li, Tang Le was not in a good mood today. You should know that they were on the Pioneer Spaceship and the Home Spaceship, and the two of them were always fighting together. Now, Tang Le's smile obviously had a lot of worries under him, and you can imagine how much pressure he was.
"The situation over there has changed again?" Gao Jian noticed this keenly and asked in a low voice.
"Let's talk about it when we go back." Tang Le didn't say much, and called Gao Jian and Su Li to get into his car. The car quickly left the airport and headed towards the core of the Eternal Base. About half an hour later, the three of them sat in an elegantly decorated office. This office was Tang Le's office in the Eternal Base, and it was also the safest place in the entire base except for the core of the base.
They are all old friends and have no politeness. Tang Le sat down and said bluntly: "The situation has indeed changed over there. Another war broke out a month ago. This war has suffered a lot."
"Large?" Gao Jian asked back. He didn't like this ambiguous description. As an intelligence official, he wanted to know the specific numbers.
"Nine warships were damaged, five of which survived, and the other four were seriously injured. Fortunately, most of the people were still alive..."
"What!" When Gao Jian heard this result, he was shocked. Nine warships, five losses and four injuries. This almost meant that a cruise fleet was wiped out. How long did he leave before such a large-scale battle occurred? Gao Jian was very clear about the military force over there. If such a huge loss was made, it would not mean that the opponent had broken through the defense circle and faced the space city directly?
"Fortunately, our squadron had just arrived not long before the battle, and the entire line of defense was still in our hands." At this time, Tang Le's next sentence made Gao Jian feel relieved, and at the same time he was secretly sweating. However, such a large war loss was also extremely amazing, so what about the opponent's losses?
As if he knew what Gao Jian wanted to know, Tang Le said: "The other party's losses are not small. If our calculations are correct, the other party should have lost two, and one seriously injured."
The calculation is right. This sentence seems ridiculous when Tang Le said it in his mouth. How can such a thing be described in such words? However, Gao Jian, who had experienced the situation at that time, knew why Tang Le said this, because when they were on the Double Ring Planet, they attacked the man with a powerful blow, but in the end it was impossible to determine whether they had destroyed the other party.
However, judging from the opponent's losses, such losses can be said to be very large. There are only five people on the opponent, one of whom was slightly injured in the first battle, but now he lost two directly. In addition, one seriously injured, which is equivalent to half of his combat effectiveness.
No wonder the warships of the Eternal Base are so frequently deployed. It seems that they are preparing to continue to strengthen the defense capabilities there to ensure that they are foolproof. Because no one knows whether the other party will make a comeback next, and whether the number of people coming again will increase again. These are all unknowns. Once the worst situation occurs, then the loss over there is inevitable.
"Is there any other plan? I'm conscious of it, besides the final plan."
