After the Star Wars, Planet A ended up being divided - among the many planets it had previously owned, the Afar race occupied 60% of them, and the remaining 40% were occupied by non-Afar races.

Because of the split, Planet A stepped down from its position as interstellar overlord.

Although the split Afar A and non-Afa A are still forces that cannot be underestimated in the interstellar world, they are no longer the unshakable overlords of the interstellar as they were before the war.

But after the war, the former Shining Civilization, the second-largest interstellar civilization, did not become the new overlord.

The Shining Civilization has a small number of people, and it defeated many masters in this star war. As a result, although it won and was very powerful, it did not have the strength to become the dominant existence like Star A before the war.

The interstellar world after the war is a multi-polar world. After the split, Star A, Shining Civilization, and some great powers that are the victors of the interstellar war have all become one of the overlords that others dare not mess with. They check and balance each other and survive in multi-polarity - and

This is naturally a good thing for the Earth Star. After all, in this way, the Earth Star can have its way between several big countries that are scheming with each other and benefit continuously.

In fact, this kind of advantage of having both sides has been shown in previous wars.

At that time, after the unification of the Earth and the stars stabilized, An Ran and Shen Weitong sent people to Star A to collect those people who had been dragged as cannon fodder. As long as they were willing to come back, An Ran and Shen Weitong sent starships to bring them back.

At that time, Planet A was in trouble both internally and externally, so the proposal of An Ran and others was approved by Planet A, and the remaining people who were not dead and planned to go back - most of whom were willing to come back - were returned to An Ran. Most of them were already dead anyway.

There are not many left. Since Earth Star wants to take them back, let them go back. Otherwise, they will be of no use. Instead, they will become an excuse for Shining Civilization and other civilizations to attack them. The price/performance ratio is too low.

From this small incident, the Earth Star people know how to exploit both sides to gain benefits and survive.

Seeing that the A-Star people were completely driven away, An Ran resigned from the Academy of Sciences.

She entered the Academy of Sciences to complete her mission. Now that the mission has been completed, she can naturally retire and go back to enjoy her leisure time. After all, she was afraid of being attacked by Planet A people before, but she spent her whole life in the Academy of Sciences researching mechas, and the Star

It’s quite a hard job to carry out ships, weapons and other things. After working like this for decades, it’s time to take a good rest.

Although the Academy of Sciences feels that she is still very young - An Ran has already exceeded level 30 and her lifespan has been extended again, so compared to her lifespan, she is not still very young - there is no problem that she can continue to contribute to the Academy of Sciences for hundreds of years.

, but because An Ran was determined to resign, the Academy of Sciences had no choice but to agree to her departure.

Fortunately, An Ran said when she resigned that she could come back at any time if necessary, which made everyone feel at ease.

And seeing that An Ran resigned from the position of dean of the Academy of Sciences, Shen Weitong did not run for the position of consul again - the position of consul is different from the dean of the Academy of Sciences. It is run for once every ten years and can be re-elected for two terms. Previously, Shen Weitong was afraid of other people.

Being in power is not good for Enron, so basically he will continue to run for election after two consecutive terms and one term off. Because of Shen Weitong's outstanding military exploits, he was elected every time.

But now, since An Ran has retired, Shen Weitong will naturally no longer be a consul, but is ready to concentrate on training - and of course, on pursuing his wife.

In the past, due to internal and external troubles, An Ran was so busy that he never had a moment to spare. He was always embarrassed to mention this, but now that he was finally completely calm, he thought that he could ask An Ran.

Until now, he didn't dare to ask, but now he really couldn't control it and wanted to know the result.

If An Ran is still unwilling, then he can just wait silently as before. Anyway, the worst result is nothing more than this, so he is ready to risk everything.

An Ran really never thought about it. Shen Weitong was still thinking about this matter almost a hundred years ago. Before, she saw that Shen Weitong got along with her very naturally and did not show any emotions at all. She thought Shen Weitong Wei Tong had already thought about it and turned love into friendship. After all, the national crisis was at the time and everyone needed to work together to drive away the A-planet people. She didn't bother to think about this issue, so seeing that Shen Weitong had been cooperating with her, she only I thought it was for the sake of my family, country, and world, but that’s not what I meant.

Now it seems that after so many years of co-authoring and cooperating with her, is it purely a matter of emotion?

"I said that cooperating with you is all because of feelings. I dare not say that. After all, driving away aliens has always been my idea, but liking you must be a big part of the reason." Facing An Ran When asked, Shen Weitong said calmly.

An Ran couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this.

"So I just want to ask you, do you still not like me at all after so many years?" Shen Weitong said helplessly.

An Ran was silent for a long time, and just when Shen Weitong's sadness was about to turn into reality, Fang said: "Humans are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, but... I feel that my feelings for you are more of friendship, and even if you want You can talk about family ties, after all, we have fought side by side for many years. In my heart, you are more important than family, but when it comes to love, I think... I should... not have it."

An Ran felt that she couldn't deceive Shen Weitong, so she said so bluntly.

In fact, An Ran didn't know how she could live and die for love like those heroines in movies and TV dramas. Sometimes, she couldn't imagine herself looking like that.

In the previous mission world, I have experienced several relationships, but I felt affectionate, but not strong. At least, it did not have the hot, passionate, world-destroying emotions described in the novel.

Sometimes she thinks that maybe she is a person who is incompetent in love; but maybe she has never met such a person, but she really can't imagine that she will hate to death and love like crazy for a person...

Shen Weitong couldn't help but feel happy after hearing the first half of her words, but after hearing the second half of her words, he couldn't help but fall silent.

After a long while, Shen Weitongfang sighed and said: "I understand."

Seeing An Ran's embarrassed look, Shen Weitong pretended to be free and easy, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, I won't make it difficult for you. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said today."< /p>

An Ran hesitated and said: "Then... do you want me to avoid you?"

After all, if she had to be in front of his eyes every day, wouldn't he be offended? So she thought, maybe she should hide and keep him out of sight.

Shen Weitong couldn't help being shocked after hearing this. He still thought that they couldn't be together. It would be nice to see her every day. Why should he avoid it? If after confessing, not only can't they be together, but the beauty has not been heard from, then he Wouldn’t it be a waste to confess?
