Voyage of the Stars

This time, the First Fleet gained a lot and returned to the civilization headquarters in triumph.

As the first commander of the First Fleet and the leader of civilization, Yue Yuan's prestige will inevitably increase again.

This is helpful to consolidate the internal stability of mankind, which is very meaningful.

Moreover, after being away for so long, perhaps the main human civilization cluster has formed some interest power groups. To put it bluntly, perhaps there is a new leader.

Of course, the possibility is not great. After all, Yue Yuan still knows Zhu Pitt's ability and sense of responsibility, and there are also the commanders of the two fleets to cooperate with the force, so there is no big problem.

However, even if there is a political change, Yue Yuan is not afraid, just go back.

He believes that those people have the whole human pattern, but they can't bear the human heart, so sometimes he can't help thinking about it.

As for the strong artificial intelligence driving warships lost by the First Fleet, in fact, there is no big problem. The shipbuilding technology is still there. As long as humans are given time, it will take minutes to make up for it.

The First Fleet did not encounter any accidents on its way back. Under the condition of full warp speed, the fleet took only a little more than three years to reach the outer edge of the star system where human civilization is located.

"We're back!"

The fleet was still in warp speed, but the tachyon detector had detected that the target star was just ahead and sent the distance information back to the First Fleet.

However, before the First Fleet could cheer, the detector sent back another message.

It was a set of image information, which was taken by the detector's optical detection equipment, converted into tachyon signals, and then sent back to the First Fleet in real time, which was equivalent to the fleet's external eyes.

However, at this moment, this eye brought a disturbing picture to the First Fleet.

The first thing that came into view was a busy scene, with a group of ships of various types moving slowly under the starry sky with planets as the background.

The shapes of these ships were very familiar. Yue Yuan and others knew at a glance that they must be human ships, but the status of these warships seemed a little wrong.

Living spaceships, biosphere spaceships, factory spaceships... All spaceships were moving, but some of the various work platforms had been retracted into large planetary transport ships, and some were still operating in orbit.

This look... are they leaving here?

But why didn't they retract all the work platforms before leaving?

Hasty! ! !

Seeing this situation, a word popped up in everyone's mind.

The main body of human civilization seems to be leaving here, and it is very hasty.

But this time point is obviously not beyond the agreed time, so there is only one explanation: the main fleet cluster of human civilization is in trouble!

Thinking of this, everyone's heart tightened.

Don't let anything happen!

Shouting in his heart and continuing to look at the screen, the people of the First Fleet keenly discovered that in the fleet cluster that was retreating in a hurry, the residential spacecraft of those affiliated civilizations were arranged at the back, oh... they are trying to collect various work platforms on the orbit.

But... where are the warships?

Where is the Second Fleet? Where is the Third Fleet? And where are the fleets of the member civilizations of the Star Alliance? Why are they all not here?

Logically speaking, if you want to leave this star system, the main fleet of civilization should be escorted by a warship fleet here, why are they all not here?

Suddenly, a bad feeling came to my mind.

"Call for consultation!" The more I looked, the more wrong it was. Yue Yuan immediately connected the information department and asked them to send a message to the headquarters of human civilization immediately.

The first fleet of humanity has now arrived at the outer edge of the star system. The entire star system is already within the range of tachyon communication, and naturally within the range of tachyon detection.

It stands to reason that with the arrangement of the main body of human civilization, the first fleet that has withdrawn from warp speed should have been discovered long ago, even if the number of warships in the first fleet is only 3,000.

But the first fleet has been out of warp speed for a while, but has not received any detection information or even a tachyon communication information from the headquarters.

That can only mean that the main fleet cluster of human civilization has been unable to take care of itself and only wants to leave, and the internal command is probably in a state of chaos to a certain extent, otherwise it is impossible not to send even a single message.

So what happened that made the main fleet cluster of human civilization so anxious!

While the people of the first fleet were anxiously waiting, they did not stand still, but continued to move towards the main fleet of human civilization.

After a while, the main fleet cluster of human civilization finally discovered the first fleet.

"It's the first fleet, the first fleet is back!"

The communication code was quickly matched, and real-time communication was established at this moment.

At the same time, the images of several familiar people appeared on the big screen of the Tianqin.

It was Zhu Pite and several senior security personnel. The words just now came from their mouths.

"Yue Shuai, you are finally back. It's great, great!" One of the senior security personnel saw Yue Yuan and said excitedly as if he had found his backbone.

However, the joy disappeared as soon as it appeared, and was replaced by a sad look.

Zhu Pite looked even more haggard, as if he was worried about something.

At this time, other staff members behind them seemed to see Yue Yuan and others through real-time video calls.

Their reactions were the same as that of the senior security personnel. They were happy and excited at first, and then quickly replaced by sadness.

At the same time, there were also scattered words coming out.

"Marshal Yue is back, the First Fleet is back... but... but what's the use?"

"Yes, the enemy is so powerful that the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet can't hold on. What's the use of the First Fleet!"

"Yes, it's because the war is not going well that the Second and Third Fleets jointly notified us that we must leave as soon as possible. It may be too late if we are late!"

"It's not possible, it will definitely be too late. The latest intelligence shows that the Third Fleet has been damaged by more than half and can't hold on for much longer."

"No, we still have some time. The First Fleet is back and should be able to buy time to evacuate."

Yue Yuan on the other side of the screen could hear it vaguely.

He immediately looked at Zhu Pitt on the screen and said in a deep voice: "What enemy? What's going on?"

Zhu Pitt was also unambiguous and hurriedly said: "According to the latest news from the Second and Third Fleets, it should be a battleship."

"A battleship?" Yue Yuan was stunned. He was mentally prepared to hear that it was a large fleet, but Zhu Pitt told him that it was a battleship!

"Yes, we cannot rule out the possibility that our detection technology is not good enough, but we have only seen one ship so far." Zhu Pitt answered quickly, "But its combat capability is very strong. At first, the Third Fleet encountered it. We don't know what caused the conflict. Later, the Third Fleet asked for help, and the Second Fleet went to support it. Then not long ago, the commanders of the two fleets sent a joint message saying that the battleship had probably discovered us, and asked us to run as fast as possible, and they would hold the battleship back..."
