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.
The ancestor tried to reintegrate into human society, learned some knowledge about interstellar ecology, and controlled the attachments around his body to change his characteristics little by little.
Finally, the ancestor died in 2633. Before his death, he successfully transformed himself into a planet that was very similar to the former Earth.
People throughout the empire received the invitation he sent before his death.
He invited people to come and settle in his Big Bear star.
After nearly two hundred years of development, the Big Bear has more than three billion residents and has reproduced to the fifth generation.
Starting from about the fourth generation of the Ursa people, the arms of the people here became longer and longer, and finally formed what they are today.
The changes in Ursa Major are just a relatively special one among hundreds of thousands of different human colonies.
There are even more exaggerated ones.
At the very back of the crowd, there was another "person" sitting.
Strictly speaking, this person is no longer a human being, he is clearly just a huge white elephant.
He is indeed not human.
He has forgotten his name and people call him White Elephant.
Bai Xiang was one of the group of people in the solar system who underwent comprehensive colonization and transformation.
The white elephant seems to have a very long lifespan and has lived to this day.
After wandering in the universe for a hundred years, he finally recalled his identity as a human being, and after arduous study, he re-mastered human language and thinking patterns, returned to society, and became a top armored warrior.
The strange thing is that although the conference room is full of weirdos at this time, and people occasionally burst out provocative glances when looking at each other, the overall atmosphere is very serious.
There was complete silence in the huge conference room, and no one made any noise.
Everyone sat in their own seats honestly and according to the assignments from the brain.
Sorting is basically based on height.
At present, almost everyone is new here. Everyone here is a leader in their respective galaxies or legions. It is impossible to say who is convinced by anyone.
Perhaps after sailing for a period of time, the soldiers will gradually reveal their differences in comprehensive training, or an encounter will break out, and then it will be basically clear whether they are donkeys or horses.
Tong Ling folded her arms and sat upright, her eyes wandering from side to side from time to time. She had been observing other people.
Brother T once said in his combat teaching that although top warriors can fight one against a hundred on the battlefield and can play a role that ordinary warriors cannot compare to, it does not mean that top warriors do not need to care about their comrades.
On the contrary, better warriors tend to be better at utilizing all available resources around them.
Resources include the soldier's own equipment, the external environment, and the enemy's vulnerabilities, flaws, and shortcomings, but the most important thing is the coordination and cooperation of his comrades.
No one knows what situation the unknown fleet will encounter in the next voyage and when the battle will break out.
Tong Ling was not sure who she might collaborate with, so she followed the habit she had developed for a long time and tried to observe others as much as possible when she got the chance.
When looking at a person, first look at their face and observe their words and deeds. This is the fastest way to get to know 50% of a person initially.
Then in the unlikely event that coordinated operations are needed, she can predict the action patterns of her comrades as accurately as possible and adjust her strategy in a timely manner.
At the forefront of the conference room were a group of low warriors of various shapes.
Although these warriors are small in stature, it does not mean that they are weak.
Their bone density is usually higher, and the fiber strength of their internal organs and muscles is higher. They are accustomed to living in a high-gravity environment.
Today's combatants are divided into three categories. One category is like the armored warriors of the old era in virtual history. This type of warrior has the strongest adaptability and can maximize the potential of the equipment.
But this type of warrior is the least common because the requirements for the combatant's intuitive reaction ability, genetic arousal, and physical fitness are too high.
Most armored warriors are relatively short in stature, with the highest height not exceeding two meters.
The second category is armored pilots like Tong Ling. When going into battle, armored pilots will also stay in the armor to facilitate real-time programming. But compared with armored warriors, during the entire battle, armored pilots only
It needs to withstand and deal with the impact force when the armor completes the direction change maneuver.
The second type of warriors has the second largest number.
The third type of warrior is the pure pilot who dominates this timeline, and is the kind of person Tong Ling should have been.
What Tong Ling is most concerned about is the armored warriors.
Her situation is rather special.
Although she has only fought as a second-category warrior so far, she has actually been receiving simulation training as an armored warrior.
It's just that she has never been able to complete the final step of the T100 test.
In Brother T's evaluation, she is still an unqualified armored warrior and has an unfinished body. If she appears on the battlefield rashly as an armored warrior, she will easily lose her life in vain.
Of course, Tong Ling firmly believed that sooner or later she would pass the exam and become a real armored warrior.
Tong Ling observed it for less than three minutes before fleet commander Qin Guang finally arrived belatedly.
The first words Qin Guang said after appearing on the rostrum were this.
"Everyone, you have all been the best in different battlefields and achieved great fame. But I want to know who is the strongest among you."
Qin Guang's just one sentence caused the whole audience to burst into uproar.
Only Qin Guang himself knows what his plans are.
One day ago, Qin Guang was finally absorbed into the Salvation Society and became one of the core insiders of the Salvation Society.
Of course, he still didn't know that Chen Feng was still alive, let alone that Chen Feng was planning to resurrect.
What Qin Guang came into contact with was another layer of anxiety in the Salvation Society.
So far, there is still no warrior who has shown talent and potential that can match the combat power displayed by the sage in the history of nothingness when operating equipment of the same level.
Assuming that the sage cannot be resurrected this time, how can mankind fill the gap in cutting-edge combat power caused by the absence of Chen Feng in the thirty-first century?
This is a huge problem.
The hope of civilization cannot be pinned on Lin Bu, another warrior who has not yet been born.
The safest way is to try to cultivate super warriors from now on and form a complete training system to maximize the possibility of human beings giving birth to super warriors.
Among all current human armies, the one most likely to give birth to super warriors is of course the unknown fleet that has gathered a large number of combat geniuses to carry out the most dangerous missions and is likely to face the highest intensity of war.
So Qin Guang decided to change the selection process and try to ignite a more intense sense of confrontation.
