After chatting with her parents for a long time, Tong Ling reluctantly hung up the phone.

When Tong Ling left her seat in the communications room, a burly man with an afro wearing a silvery metallic suit who was lining up behind her passed by her and greeted her warmly.

"Sister, will you only speak for five minutes? I can wait a little longer, otherwise you and your father will have a chat again?"

This burly man with an afro is from the Voyager galaxy, named Gao 1548627-LXZ.

His name was chosen by himself.

As a synthetic human who was raised by artificial intelligence, and whose biological parents were killed in the Traveler War, he expressed that he was tired of traditional names after he became wise, and using numerical codenames made him more individual and special.

So he made up a bunch of numbers, followed his last name, and barely made up a name.

LXZ is the pinyin abbreviation of the first letter of the galaxy to which it belongs, to avoid having the same name.

The strong man respected Tong Ling very much.

The Traveler Battle was the battle that made Tong Ling famous. As a Traveler star, the strong man naturally respects Tong Ling, the only one who captured the Fish Star soldier alive.

Except for a very few people such as Chen Feng, Fanxing, and Lai Wenming, others did not know that the greatest contributor to ending the war was the long-dead sage Chen Feng himself.

Tong Ling herself didn't know much about it, she only had some vague speculations.

She felt that Brother T and the sage might have some connection, but she was not sure.

Tong Ling smiled and said to the strong man, "It's okay, Xiaoqi, you can talk to your family. I have already said what I should and want to say."

In the war years, farewell does not need to be grand, let alone crying.

It is enough for each other to know where the other will go, how they will continue to live, and how they will eventually die.

At this time, the voice of an uninvited guest sounded next to him.

"Little girl, when you're done talking, step aside and don't block the way."

This is a giant man with a height of 2.8 meters, and his arms are thicker than Tong Ling's waist.

The giant man's upper body was bare, and his body was covered with black lines that looked like tattoos. His eyes were like bells. When he walked, his bare feet stepped on the metal floor of the spacecraft, making a metallic friction sound.

Xiao Qi pretended to be angry, but Tong Ling pressed her hand down, indicating that he didn't have to worry about it.

Just by looking at the appearance of the tattooed giant, you can tell that he comes from the rumored Giant Source Galaxy.

The patterns on his body are not tattoos, but the metal skin that actually grows on his own body.

These lines are not just for "beauty", their function is to form a biological electric field in the giant source galaxy to counter the oscillating gravitational field released by the giant source star every moment.

The living environment in the Giant Source Galaxy is even worse than the post-war Voyager Galaxy. It was originally not suitable for human habitation. However, a hundred and fifty years ago, a group of reckless explorers with unique tastes arrived at the Giant Source Galaxy and decided to

Settled down here.

This group of reckless explorers are not from the solar system, but were born in another galaxy with super giant planets.

After one hundred and fifty years of development, the Giant Source Galaxy now has a population of nearly two billion.

The population of the Giant Source Galaxy does not seem to be large, but on average, one out of every three Giant Source Stars has a professional soldier with a C-level rating or above in the imperial army system.

The warriors of Juyuan are all brave and good at fighting.

Today's Giant Source Galaxy is as famous as the old warrior galaxy Orton Galaxy.

At the same time, due to the special natural and cultural environment of the star system, the characters of the giant source stars are generally irritable, which is very troublesome.

Tong Ling had dealt with Juyuan warriors in the Witten Galaxy and knew it very well, so she didn't bother to argue with this giant man.

Gao Xiaoqi was very convinced of Tong Ling and just snorted, turned around and walked inside.

Tong Ling didn't waste any more time, turned sideways, and quickly moved out of the way.

Tong Ling had just returned to her personal dormitory and lay down listening to music for a while when a prompt sounded in the communicator, asking her to go to the fortress ship to attend a meeting with other S-class combatants.

The main purpose of the meeting is to determine the order of operations for the numerous combatants.

This is no small matter.

In the nameless fleet,

Commanders need to clearly know the boundaries of each person's capabilities so that they can make the right decisions when needed.

If you tell me, no one will believe that the unknown fleet tasked with mankind's first expedition will actually be a huge motley army.

The fleet staffing has just been established, and most of the people have not been together for more than two months.

The formulation of the expedition plan dates back to 2688, when Tong Ling had not even arrived in the Witten galaxy.

This was a decision made by the imperial military leadership.

After decades of testing each other, humans have gained a deep grasp of the power that can be deployed in the hands of those with compound eyes.

There is no denying that the new methods displayed by compound-eyed people from time to time will always cause great trouble to mankind, but just like what happened in the Battle of Traveler Planet, when human beings' abilities exceed a certain limit and face the new methods of compound-eyed people, no matter what

No matter how hectic it appears in the early days, mankind can always rely on its astonishingly rapid technological explosion and huge strategic depth to quickly integrate the power of multiple galaxies and even the entire empire to solve problems.

Now the empire commanders have come up with new ideas. Since we can now deal with compound-eyed people, there is no need to always leave time for the opponent to react. If we wait for the opponent to make the first move and then fight back, we will always fall into passivity, and every time

There will be heavy casualties and resource losses in this city.

It would be disrespectful to reciprocate, so the commander-in-chief of the empire decided to take the initiative and entrusted Fanxing to conduct a feasibility preview of the matter.

Fanxing made calculations based on routine calculations for a long time, but did not come to a clear conclusion because no one knew whether the Compound Eyes had any other trump cards hidden in the Galactic Center Base.

Will humanity's proactive attack trigger any new measures from the other side?

These are all unknowns.

In the end, it was Chen Feng who made the decision.

Done.

Anyway, the war has started. To achieve real victory, the opponent's stronghold in the galaxy must be destroyed.

But Chen Feng put forward two prerequisites: the human fleet must have the ability to sail five hundred times the speed of light, otherwise the day lilies will be cold by the time they reach the center of the galaxy.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness of this expedition fleet must be an era beyond that of other current human armies.

Because no matter how concealed the marching route is, the possibility of an encounter midway cannot be ruled out.

If the human military force is not elite enough to break through the opponent's interception and show overwhelming firepower advantage, then such an expedition is meaningless and is just a waste of resources and a loss of lives.

If you want to do it, you must succeed.

Finally, after more than twenty years of preparation, the fleet, which has accumulated the highest technological achievements in the current empire, was finally launched successfully.

In addition to its equipment advantages, the Unknown Fleet also conducted personnel selection for the entire empire for the first time, selecting 150 million people from hundreds of thousands of colonies.

If today's Orion Arm humans were divided into races based on galaxies, there would be at least 100,000 races in the Unknown Fleet.

Whether they are scientists, soldiers, or engineers, everyone in the fleet is the best of the best of their respective race.

Now about 50% of the top geniuses in the entire empire have been gathered in this fleet.

Regardless of the level of cooperation, judging solely from the perspective of the total personal abilities of the soldiers and the technological level of the equipment, the paper strength of the Unknown Fleet is enough to be worthy of the huge army of an entire galaxy.

But interstellar warfare is not about individual bravery and ruthlessness. When it comes to the battlefield, how well this mixed army can perform depends on the level of coordination and cooperation between warriors born in different cultures and with different habits.

This was a headache for Commander Qin Guang.

About an hour later, Tong Ling arrived at the fortress ship in a synchronized shuttle and went directly to the conference room.

There are a total of 3,700 S-class warriors qualified to participate in the conference, coming from 2,600 planetary systems.

Among them, there are a total of sixty-three people whose ancestral home is from the solar system like Tong Ling.

There are seventeen people in the Giant Source Galaxy and twenty-one people in the Orton Galaxy.

As for other galaxies, most of them only have one or two.

Due to the vast territory of the empire, the body shapes and personalities of people in different galaxies are so different that these 3,700 people look simply weird and like a bunch of demons dancing around.

Some people have thick hair all over their bodies and look quite atavistic.

The planets where these people live either have strong radiation intrusion, or the temperature is extremely low, or there is a large temperature difference between day and night. It may also be that the quantum rules of the galaxy stimulate the dominant expression of human hair genes.

There are also people who are extremely small, with an adult height of even less than one meter, but this is not due to dwarfism, but because the entire galaxy where he lives is such a small person.

When someone is standing upright, with his arms hanging down, his fingers can touch the instep of his feet, and he has an amazing three-joint elbow joint.

It is rumored that the planet where the long-armed man grew up is the corpse of a colonizer who was transformed in the last century.

The long-arm planet calls the colonizer the ancestor.

As a space life, the ancestor chose to be an endless traveler.

After he left the solar system far away, he wandered in the universe for a long time, quietly waiting for the end of his life.

Humanity provided great convenience to the ancestor and gave him the qualification to use the warp star gate.

But one day in the early 27th century, the ancestor suddenly realized that his body could release a gravitational field to the outside world, attracting nearby particles to his body.

He wants to know his limits.

The ancestor's long journey stopped in the constellation Ursa Major, where he found a huge fragmentation zone.

He began to spend the rest of his life continuously enriching particles and meteorites, making his body larger and larger.
To be continued...
