1072 CE74 Aslan's Choice
CE73 December 31, New Year's Eve.
This is the first New Year that has ushered in after the war, and it is also the first New Year after the post-war world summit confirmed that human society has implemented military and political unity for the first time, and established the only legal government, and the first New Year after the integration of human beings on Earth.
In a sense, this New Year may be included in the history of mankind.
Because, in addition to the above two meanings, there is another meaning.
This significance will be revealed at the time of 0:00 on January 1, CE74. Before that, as long as there are any equipment around you that can obtain external information, everyone will put down their work, accompany their families, sit together at home, in bars, or at parties, waiting for the countdown to arrive at that moment.
Above the extralunar orbit.
A new type of warship with a brand new shape and a very different shape from the space warships designed by various countries today is undergoing a final inspection accompanied by many frigates and supply ships.
"Power system, check through."
"Operating system, check through."
“···”
On the bridge, a soldier wearing a brand new uniform looked serious and meticulously engaged in his work. In the near future, the warship they were riding on would become the first space warship in human history equipped with a super-light engine. Therefore, nothing should be lost.
"Captain. There are still four hours before the warship is set off. Why don't you go and have a rest?" A young man in a moon-white military uniform, carrying the rank of three-star, and with short green hair stood behind the captain's position and whispered.
“Buzz.”
As the captain's seat turned toward the engine, a young man with short blue hair turned over and looked at the young man with short green hair and smiled: "Instead of letting me go to rest, it's better to let you go. Nigol. I know that you have been working for sixteen hours."
The beautiful boy with big eyes like a girl and delicate facial features shook his head.
"No, Captain. You should rest. According to the mission list, there may be a leadership of the integrated government boarding the ship to visit later. At that time, your status will be more important."
Hearing such a reason, the young man with blue hair sighed helplessly and finally chose to compromise. After all, as the captain and the captain of the new type of warship that all mankind pays the most attention to, his condition is indeed more important than anyone else.
"Then, Nigol. I'll ask you here."
Nigol nodded and smiled, "Please have a good rest! Captain Aslan Sara."
Hearing his close friend shouting his name so seriously, Aslan smiled helplessly. "Nigol, let's see! Traveler is voluntarily joining you."
Nygor was not threatened by Aslan, but nodded and responded: "Yes, Captain Aslan. I fully understand my responsibilities and obligations."
"Is that right? Then, see you later." Aslan patted Nigol's shoulder and left the bridge.
Voyager.
Strictly speaking, this is not a warship.
Its prototype ship, namely the No. 1 test ship.
Aslan served as the flagship of the captain, he completed three experiments of super-light speed flights with increasing distances in half a year. Within the massive experimental data obtained, he completed preliminary resources and integrated technology, and finally created the Voyager, which was created with the best technology in the human world at this stage.
In order to facilitate management and to carry out the deep space exploration plan in the future, the integrated government decided to rely mainly on the official and the military to jointly carry out the deep space exploration stage in this initial stage.
Therefore, the Voyager and the subsequent Explorer were also incorporated into the cosmic army of the integrated government and enjoy the highest priority.
As time goes by.
A shuttle boat took off from the moon and quickly sailed into the fleet guarding the Voyager, and slowly sailed into the Voyager's Gnaku according to the guidance of the channel management center.
"I'm glad to see you again! Aslan." As the guards walked down the shuttle boat one after another, a young woman with long pink hair, elegant manners, and wearing a purple formal outfit appeared in front of Aslan.
"Foreign Minister Klein, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you going to be lately?" Aslan and Nigol led everyone to salute Lax, Aslan said politely and well-behavedly.
Foreign Minister Klein.
This was when Lux Klein took the initiative to ask General He inexplicably to take office as president of the unified government, and was jointly sent to the position of Foreign Minister of the United Government by the East Asian Federation and its forces. Perhaps, this may be considered a reward for his favor.
According to Lux's performance in the past six months, the integrated government can complete the initial resource and technology integration in the shortest time, which is definitely a contribution from Lux Klein.
"It's a little inconvenient to talk here. Can we change places? Aslan and Nigol." After looking around, Lax showed a kind smile, as relaxed and natural as yesterday.
Aslan nodded, then turned around and came to the captain's room with Lux.
"Coffee? Or black tea?" As soon as he entered the door, Nigol took the initiative to walk to the tea table.
"That's all black tea. Thank you, Nigol." Lux nodded with a smile.
After Aslan sat down, Lux turned around and signaled to let the guard leave temporarily, and said:
"Aslan, why did you choose to become the captain of the Voyager? With your ability, even if you don't join the Uniform Government Space Army, you can still serve as a first-class engineer in the Deep Space Exploration and Development Center that will be formed later."
Aslan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lux to ask such a question. He originally thought Lux would have some official conversations.
"Aslan, coffee." At this time, Nigol had already made coffee and black tea. He gave coffee and black tea at the right time, and bought Aslan a little time to sort out his thoughts. "Lucks, black tea."
"Thank you. Nigol." Lax took the black tea, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise. "Nigol, it seems that the black tea you made is getting better and better."
Nigol smiled shyly. "It's just that I've been trying too much on my own. Just like you like it."
After chatting casually about the recent situation, the two couldn't help but feel silent, waiting for Aslan to speak.
"Maybe Lux, you're right. If I weren't the captain of the Voyager, I could join as a core member, whether it was the Space Army or the Deep Space Exploration Center. However, this is not what I want."
As he said that, Aslan raised his right hand, took off the rose pendant tied to his left wrist, and placed it on the table.
Seeing this rose pendant, a light flashed in Larks's eyes. Although she had seen her differently than Nigol and the others several times, she had learned from various channels that Aslan cherished this rose pendant very much.
"Is this... Alico Pompeii gave it to you?" Lux was silent for a moment and said a name.
Aslan shook his head.
"No, this is what I gave her. It was just after she died in battle, and she became a relic. I kept it by my side. Until by chance, I discovered her. Ariko actually left a string of astronomical coordinates on the back of the rose pendant, but in fact it was the astronomical coordinates of a certain galaxy."
"Oh, by the way! That's why you sponsored DSSD after the World War in Yakinduwei, and entered it with a pseudonym and participated in the research." Nigol, who knew the most about Aslan's recent situation, immediately realized the truth after hearing Aslan's confession.
Aslan smiled knowingly in response to this.
What else can be happier than having a close friend who knows you?
"Yes. During the DSSD's time working, I finally cracked the truth about this series of numbers. I also carefully observed the galaxy identified in the astronomical coordinates through the state-of-the-art astronomical telescope that DSSD has. The results show that there is a very likely civilization there."
Aslan slowly told the truth about his actions he had been insisting on, and the root cause of why he became the captain of the Voyager.
"So, you want to become the captain of the Voyager. Because in this way, you can go to the galaxy in person to see what secrets the astronomical coordinates left by Aliko?" Lux finally understood Aslan's purpose.
"Yes." Aslan nodded and said frankly: "Actually, I have another purpose. That is her."
"She?" Lux was slightly stunned, but immediately thought of who it was. "Is it her? Are you doing well recently?"
"The situation is still the same. The blow half a year ago was too big for her." Aslan sighed. "She originally thought she had just transformed into an ordinary girl from Lax Klein through plastic surgery, but she didn't expect that the result was a clone of Lax Klein. Since then, her spirit has been very unstable."
Mia Campbell.
This name is an indelible existence not only for herself, but also for Lux Klein.
"So, are you trying to take her away from the earth?" Lux held the black tea in both hands. "Actually, Cruze, and President who should have enough technology to solve this problem, why..."
Who knew, Aslan shook his head.
"It can't be done. As soon as Mia comes into contact with things related to cloning, she falls into a state of irreparable exhaustion and extreme resistance. In such a situation, no treatment can be carried out. So, I can only decide to take her away from the earth and stay away from this starry sky."
"Is that?" Lux lowered his head and looked at the black tea that had been drunk for half of it, then put down the teacup, stood up and said, "There is not much time left. Captain Aslan, Chief Nigol. The next time will be left to you. I, President He, and humans, and the whole world's eyes are focused on you. I hope that humans' footsteps will extend to all parts of the universe under your leadership."
"Yes! Foreign Minister Klein." Aslan and Nigol saluted.
While leaving, Lux suddenly looked back at Aslan and Nigol and said slowly:
"After going there, I hope we will have a chance to meet in the future."
"Sure." Aslan said affirmatively.
The pointer gradually walked five minutes before 0:00 on January 1, CE74. After seeing off Lux, Aslan came to the frozen sleeping room alone.
Here,
Mia Campbell is asleep.
Aslan raised his hand and brushed away the frost and snow from the glass hatch, looked at Mia's sleeping face gently, and said slowly: "Mia. We will leave the earth soon. I believe that in a year, we will reach the new world. At that time, you will be very happy to live there, right?"
"Captain, time is up." Nigol's voice came from the headset, breaking the warmth at this moment.
"Received! I'm here soon." Aslan responded, bent down, kissed the glass hatch lightly, and then turned around firmly and left the frozen sleeping room.
"when!"
"when!"
CE74, January 1, 00:00.
"Super light engine, charging is over! Captain." Nigol shouted loudly.
After tightening the seat belt tied to his body, Aslan looked ahead intently and ordered:
"Voyager! Superlight engine, start!!"
I originally planned to treat it as an extra. The result would be the main story!!!
Chapter completed!
