Chapter 662 The end of the play is still shining in the colorful clouds!
In the void, a small starship with a somewhat beautiful appearance was struggling to move forward in the meteorite flow.
The ship, which is only more than 300 meters long, is full of terrible dents left by meteorite impacts. From time to time, meteorites passing by at high speed hit the ship. Meteorites the size of a human head were instantly shattered into pieces, and meteorites larger than a house were shattered.
It shattered the body into pieces and also produced a stream of bright sparks.
The horrific sight makes people feel cold all over.
It seemed that at the next moment, a more terrifying meteorite would fly in and smash this small starship that had been traveling in this terrifying meteorite flow for an unknown period of time into a steel wreckage.
There are countless such steel debris in the meteorite flow.
Because this is the battlefield known as the Battle of Inverman by the humans in the starry sky, and it is also the largest steel tomb in human history.
Five years ago, the Imperial Alliance headed by the Great Eagle Empire and the United Front of the Federal States fought a decisive battle in the Rhine Galaxy, which originally had a beautiful name. It was also the last large-scale battle as the war in the starry sky gradually extinguished.
The Imperial Alliance has invested 180 main fleets and 12 celestial-class space fortresses with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, with 38 million officers and soldiers participating in the war; the federal united front has invested 210 main fleets and 10 space fortresses of the same type, with the total number of officers and soldiers participating in the war being as high as
45 million people.
The Space Fortress, which has up to 20 planet-class railguns, was a masterpiece of mankind in the middle of the war. After breakthroughs in engine technology, the Space Fortress, which was about the size of an asteroid and could be equipped with more energy cannons, became the dominant force in space wars. 1
A space fortress can even provide various supplies for 20 main fleets.
For both warring parties, whoever wins will dominate the starry sky, because there will never be another alliance that can produce more than 100 main fleets.
The cruel star war has been going on for eight years, and both warring parties are actually exhausted. Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even generals from various countries, the list of people who died in this war is enough to fill a tombstone. The list of former star star generals
Of the top 200, more than 80% had been replaced before this battle.
The number of officers and soldiers killed by both sides has exceeded one billion, and the number of ordinary people killed in the war has reached tens of billions.
The federal united front, which gradually gained the upper hand, chose to fight in the Rhine System on the territory of the Rhine Alliance in an attempt to break the defensive front of the Imperial Alliance. Under the leadership of the Great Eagle Empire, the Imperial Alliance also gathered
Heavy troops were deployed here to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy.
The largest battle in the history of the human starry sky lasted for more than a month, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, the rising star of the federal country unexpectedly led eight elite mecha armies to conquer eight Imperial Alliance space fortresses in a row. The victory was
The balance tilted towards the federal united front.
Then, the desperate commander of the Imperial Alliance frantically used anti-matter bombs to detonate the three major planets in the Rhine Galaxy. The energy tide formed by the terrible planet explosion almost destroyed the fleet that had no time to make an artificial jump in less than ten minutes.
Tear into pieces.
Except for the indestructible space fortress that had a chance to escape this huge man-made disaster, more than 90% of the fleets on both sides were destroyed in this galaxy that was renamed Inverman (Hell) in the future.
Planetary fragments and countless steel debris formed a swirling meteorite flow under the huge gravity.
Not to mention starships, even behemoths like Space Fortress would have difficulty surviving in them.
If this scene were spread to the outside world, it would be difficult to believe that such a crazy guy existed.
But obviously, this starship has been here for an unknown length of time, and has long been accustomed to meteorite impacts of this level. Moreover, the shell of the starship made of an unknown alloy is strong enough, even if a meteorite as big as a room hits it at high speed, it will
Apart from leaving a trail of sparks and a not too deep dent, it didn't cause much else.
There was no one on the bridge of the starship. There was only a small golden mecha sitting on the captain's seat, with his feet raised high on the table.
"Starry sky? Have you discovered anything new?" the mecha asked carelessly into the void.
"I'm sorry? Get lost, duty officer!" The starship's brain core located on the bridge replied with a blue light flashing: "Within a range of five million kilometers, no effective metal reaction fluctuations were received. At the same time, ten units were lost.
Long range detector!"
"Then keep looking!" the mecha ordered lazily. "Also, my name is Hobrourou? Not Get Out? Besides, I'm the captain now? I'm not some bullshit duty officer."
"I'm sorry, get out of here, duty officer. The general said before. If you can't find the target, you can get out."
He should be called sergeant on duty."
That clearly means, don't be shameless? Give you the title of duty officer? It sounds really nice.
"Bang!" Hobrou slapped the solid alloy tabletop angrily. "Xingkong, don't use chicken feathers as arrows for me, do you understand? That's my brother. Believe it or not, I'll have him give me a batch in a minute.
Rank of colonel?"
"I don't believe it!" Xingkong replied without hesitation.
"I don't believe it either!" Hu Daorou shook his head in pain. "What a damn thing! If you don't find the target, I will be just a soldier for the rest of my life. Keep looking for me. Ten long-range searchers have been destroyed, so use
There are materials in the warehouse to make one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand."
Of course, it was painful to have meat on a knife. It had been five years since the war ended. As the personal subordinate of Tang Lang, the great general of the Southwest Federation, he had actually stayed in this starry sky full of broken stones for three full years.
That is to say, he is smart. After learning about Tang Lang's decision, he did not hesitate to take out the secret alloy recipe from the bottom of the box, and used all the connections established by the independent fleet to mobilize the top ten various purified alloys in the starry sky to build this ship.
A search ship that can withstand direct fire from twenty railguns with its physical defense, otherwise it would still be eating dirt on that meteorite right now!
Although it has the strongest "eggshell" in the galaxy and doesn't have to worry about being smashed into a useless ball, it is definitely not willing to live in this shabby place with a pile of broken rocks.
Watching the "Starry Sky" intelligence brain mobilize various resources in the starship, remote search instruments flowed out from the automatic production line one after another, and then entered the void. Once the human remains with the Southwest Federation logo were found, they stretched out their robotic hands to grab them.
And cremated it inside the body, put it into a prepared alloy box, and sent it to a special area of the starship for storage...
I'm messing with whoever I am! Hobby Rouge lamented as he re-entered the depths of the database that he had repaired 70% of, desperately searching for information to see if he could build a more powerful search instrument.
, Otherwise, based on the current search progress, he would never be able to complete the search of such a huge galaxy in thirty years, let alone three years.
...
There was a dim light in the cabin, and there were several oil paintings hanging on the walls of the cabin, but they were all about mechas and starships. Tang Lang was sitting on the sofa in the cabin, with several plates of home-cooked food in front of him.
And a glass of white wine.
Like an ordinary man returning home, Tang Lang devoured two large bowls of white rice with boiled pork slices and pickled fish.
When Zhang Sun Xueqing, who was wearing a long nightgown, dried her hair and came over in slippers, Tang Lang was leaning on the back of the sofa, tasting the slightly astringent wine.
The female professor and female general who used to be meticulously dressed appeared in front of Tang Lang in such a homely manner, but the two of them had obviously become accustomed to it.
Perhaps, this is already normal for a young man and woman who are already engaged or have lived together in the same cabin for three years!
"I am full?"
"Well, I'm full!" Tang Lang patted his belly with satisfaction. "Just now in the laboratory, I used your data model to design a new type of search instrument that can expand the search range to a radius of 20,000 kilometers under the same power.
.”
"Go to sleep! I'll lie down on the sofa for a while before going to the laboratory." Tang Lang said. "Also, I really like the boiled meat slices today."
"Thank you for the compliment, but it seems that today is the last Blue Star Day we agreed on. Doesn't someone want to say something?" Changsun Xueqing was obviously used to Tang Lang's work state of forgetting sleep and food and devoting himself to research. She nodded lightly and said
The moment he walked into the room, he suddenly turned around and asked.
Tang Lang showed apology on his face, put down his wine glass, stood up, and approached his fiancée.
Sun Xueqing, who was just teasing her fiancé, was like a frightened bird, staggering back, staring at him with trembling eyes, her hands not knowing whether to push forward or how to react.
?But in the end he could only hang down helplessly, his body gradually retreating, and the bulging breasts under his nightgown seemed to be almost touching his chest.
If he really wanted to do something... His long eyelashes were trembling, some of them didn't dare to look or think, and they had to close their eyes in fear.
It seems that it is normal. If it were not for certain things, they should have been married long ago!
She could smell the faint smell of smoke from Tang Lang, but after waiting for a long time, there seemed to be no follow-up, so she slowly opened her eyes and saw Tang Lang in front of her, looking directly at her, Chang Sun Xueqing's heart
She started beating rapidly, and then she saw Tang Lang looking at her softly, with apologetic expression on his face.
Changsun Xueqing's heart ached slightly.
That was the unparalleled warrior who was hailed as ruthless by the entire starry sky! But he was so sorry because of her joke.
Just as he was about to speak, Tang Lang lowered his forehead and gently pressed it against hers. His voice was low: "Xue Qing, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, but if we don't find them..."
"I understand!" Changsun Xueqing stretched out her arms and gently hugged Tang Lang's strong waist, then turned and walked into the room without closing the door, because this way, she could listen to his breathing and fall asleep.
The lights in the room were naturally dimmed. The powerful sound insulation technology did not completely block the sound of meteorites impacting from the outer shell of the starship. It was like the sound of continuous rain on an autumn night.
Tang Lang was lying on the sofa, putting a layer of blanket on his body, listening to the continuous knocking sound. Although he was extremely tired, he couldn't fall asleep for a while. His sensitive hearing heard that Changsun Xueqing was also tossing and turning.
Sighing softly: "Xueqing, you know? I can accept that my comrades die in battle, because that is the fate of a soldier, but I cannot bear that my comrades are waiting in a cold corner of the void, while I
Unable to find them."
"I know! Of course I know. Because you are in pain, you think it is your command error, so you punish yourself." Changsun Xueqing's soft voice came. "But, I am really willing to accompany you forever.
Let’s keep looking for it! Your promise is actually not that important.”
Then, the sound of the clock was heard.
Even though they were on a starship, the two of them habitually used the Southwest Federation's clock, which meant that the next Blue Star Day was coming.
The cabin suddenly became extremely quiet.
The former fierce warrior couldn't help but become a little dry-mouthed, and had the urge to lift the quilt off his body and turn around and run away.
Five years ago today, he promised her that in five years, even if he hadn't found them yet, he would marry her no matter when and where.
His wedding originally only needed the blessings of his comrades, so he spent five years looking for them. Even in the years to come, he believed they were still alive.
Before the moment of the planet's big explosion, the Phoenix could have made an artificial jump to escape one step ahead because of Hob's warning, but they did not. The flagship of the Southwest Federation fleet without Tang Lang made an astonishing move in the last ten minutes.
Unimaginable sacrifice, he spent all his energy to open up an artificial jump channel in the shortest time, leaving the hope of survival to other starships, and the Phoenix, which lost its power source, was torn into pieces by the surging energy tide.
As the chief of staff of the fleet, Lieutenant General Mingyue Shang took the lead in all this. Qiu Ruge, then the chief logistics officer of the fleet, Rear Admiral Hao Daier, the captain, and Rear Admiral Yunmo, the captain of the Star Fighter Group, all agreed. Tang Lang, who was far away in the space fortress,
That moment was heartbreaking.
The Phoenix, which had gone through ten large-scale battles and countless small battles without being destroyed and made great achievements in battle, finally failed to withstand such a terrifying planet-level explosion and crashed in the Battle of Inverman.
In that war, Tang Lang lost more than ten comrades who he had been with day and night.
Lieutenant General Shen Chengfeng died in the battle to capture the Jipeng Empire seven years ago.
Lieutenant General Yuchijian died in the battle of Sirius Galaxy five years ago.
Major General Chen Shi died in the Battle of Tianma Galaxy three years ago.
Lieutenant General Zhang Wutui died in the Dunker Planet Interdiction Battle two years ago.
Lieutenant General Chu Ming died in the Planetary System Counterattack a year ago.
...
Although the war was won, those familiar smiles were gone, and no one could understand the deep-seated loneliness.
He could hardly bear to lose them anymore.
But fortunately, they still have ten minutes, ten minutes, which is enough for them to enter the escape cabin made of special materials from Hob Meat. The escape cabin that can make people fall asleep quickly can sustain them for more than 10 years as long as there is no man-made damage.
A long survival period of thirty years.
However, the terrible energy storm destroyed all communications in the rescue cabin, and the terrible meteorite flow also prevented all large-scale rescues. Using the highest technology from the Yanyun Galaxy, Tang Lang built such a small search and rescue ship.
He wants to take his comrades home, whether they are alive or dead in battle, and he wants them to attend his investiture ceremony and wedding.
After the war, Tang Lang, who resigned as the commander of the Southwest Federation's 1st Independent Fleet, refused to follow Fatty, Anji and others, so he took his eldest son Xueqing and Ho Daoru on a journey to find the rescue capsules of his comrades and collect the fallen soldiers of the Southwest Federation in the Inverman System.
The journey of warrior remains.
It was a long three years, and the eldest son Xueqing also stayed with him quietly for three years.
Today, she is no longer as young as when he first met her fourteen years ago. She is already a woman in her early forties. Although she is as beautiful as ever, she seems to have never aged due to the passage of time, or even, perhaps, because of
Due to time, maturity and purity, it seems that they are perfectly combined. However, she is not actually the kind of charming woman who knows how to use her own weapons.
She is Changsun Xueqing, a simple and pure woman who was as outstanding and brilliant as when we first met her.
The sound of the bell heralded the arrival of the deadline for Tang Lang's promise, which gave a certain steely man a sinking feeling as if he was stuck in a whirlpool with his feet in mud.
With almost great will, Tang Lang licked his dry lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Pfft!" In the silence, Changsun Xueqing suddenly laughed.
The laughter is very clear, but it is more tickling and has a unique magnetism that makes people feel distraught and excited.
"Your Excellency, Commander Tang, why do I feel that you are a little scared?"
"No!" Tang Lang firmly denied his cowardice.
He has already felt that his willpower is extremely weak. Not to mention the opponent's use of guns, or even his breath, all his defense lines will fall apart.
A cold and soft voice came: "Tang Lang, I want to be by your side, I want to be by my father's side, I want to be with Brother Shen Chengfeng, I want to be with Fatty, I want to be with Brother Yuchijian, I want to be with all my comrades in the Southwest Federation, although
I know this is unrealistic, but I hope that no matter how old we are, we can still be together like this."
"It's just that one day, you and I may have to say goodbye!"
Tang Lang's heart trembled slightly.
"parting......"
"Yes, we have seen many people leave, and maybe one day it will be our turn. If there is no war, it will be because of time."
Tang Lang's hands clenched slightly.
Yes, there are many ways to say goodbye. There are ways to say goodbye far away from each other. This is the isolation of space.
But there is another kind, which is the eternal separation between heaven and man in time and space.
See you once, maybe never see you again.
War and time are things that even the strongest warrior like Tang Lang, who is confident that he can destroy the stars, cannot control.
So, when the woman who walked to the sofa with bare feet like a cat appeared, in the darkness, Tang Lang stretched out his arms and took her into his arms without hesitation.
Women are indeed made of water, as smooth as a porcelain doll.
He just hugged her, hugged her with his arms, and let her legs wrap around his legs...
The furious waves of life even covered up the sound of the constant hitting of meteorites outside the starship.
...
"Abnormal signal found!" The sound of a meat grinder suddenly sounded from the electronic loudspeaker in the cabin.
Tang Lang's head suddenly raised.
On the electronic screen, a rescue capsule that had lost all its brilliance moved from far to near, and the emblem of the Phoenix appeared clearly in Tang Lang's eyes.
The ripples on the life detector rose and fell slowly.
Tang Lang burst into tears instantly.
He finally found them.
...
"Boss, when are you coming back? You see, my big baby is ready for soy sauce." The fat man's big face occupied the entire screen and he asked anxiously. "Oh, you damn kid, you're tearing my meat dry."
What?"
The fat man's behavior of eating alone made the little fat man in his arms, who was no more than two years old, pull the fat on the fat man's chin very uncomfortably. Obviously, the little fat man had a great desire to appear in the spotlight.
"Asshole, how dare you scold my son."
Du Mosi, who had a big belly, grabbed the fat man's ears fiercely.
Tang Lang and Changsun Xueqing looked at each other and smiled. If they knew that the dignified young commander of the Guards Lieutenant General would be so henpecked, I am afraid that the young Guardsmen who regard him as their idol would lose their teeth!
Although he also knew that the fat man and his wife were just trying to make him laugh, because this was one of the few communications between the two of them in three years.
"I found them!" Tang Lang said.
"Are they all okay?" Fatty and Du Mo were stunned on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning.
"They should all wake up after returning to the Federation." Tang Lang nodded. "Also, I have recovered the remains of 400,000 soldiers of our Southwest Federation who died here in the war, and will bring them back to Kunlun Planet together."
"Boss, please rest assured that our Southwest Federation will welcome the heroes of the Federation home with the most solemn etiquette."
One month later.
From the starship dock to the Monument to the People's Heroes on Kunlun Star, both sides of the nearly 100-kilometer road were lined with invited people from all the planets of the Southwest Federation.
There are parents, wives and children of fallen soldiers, retired veterans and disabled veterans, as well as rulers of various planets and representatives of various industries.
I once sent my son and husband to the battlefield, and now I am waiting for him to return.
With tears in their eyes, all the soldiers and mechas raised their arms to their brows, like sculptures.
Tang Lang, who was wearing the uniform of an admiral, led Sun Xueqing, Mingyue Shang, Qiu Ruge, Hao Daier, Yun Mo and others at the front of the queue. Behind them were the independent fleet and the young guards who were light years away from the country.
All officers and soldiers of the army, each holding a small alloy box, boarded the land vehicle collectively.
In front of the Monument to the People's Heroes, Ming Donglai's head of state and Chief Sun Hong led all the military and political dignitaries on Kunlun Planet to stand quietly and wait.
"The bright moon is here now, and it will still shine on the colorful clouds!"
The gray-haired old speaker stood up from the wheelchair tremblingly at the moment Tang Lang got out of the car holding the box covered with the national flag, crying!
(End!)

PS: Despite all the reluctance, I finally finished the book. Fengyue knows that many readers will be dissatisfied, but after all, Fengyue cannot only generate electricity for love and live alone with her daughter. The various training fees and expenses for her daughter are like a mountain.
The same pressure is on Feng Yue's shoulders, and Feng Yue can only work harder to create a better life for her. Maybe it will be possible in the future, when Feng Yue no longer runs hard for life, Feng Yue will write a sequel! Readers and friends, please understand.
At the end of the month, Fengyue’s new farming book will be available to everyone. During this period, one is to take a break, and the other is to work on the new book manuscript. If the editor approves it, then Fengyue will try to save tens of thousands of manuscripts first, so as not to have to ask for leave when he gets busy.
