The war was over, and although his nerves could be temporarily relaxed, he really didn't have much free time.

Lu Fenghan felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to hug Qiyan for a while longer, and he was sure that Qiyan had the same idea as him.

When they first confirmed their relationship, it was the time when they couldn't bear to leave each other. Lu Fenghan couldn't help but wish that the person would stick to him and not be separated for a moment.

However, the dozens of communication dialogue boxes connected on the virtual star map, a bunch of messy affairs, all came at once, pressing Lu Fenghan firmly in the chair, unable to leave.

If Qiyan was not just a few steps away from him, still wearing his military jacket, Lu Fenghan felt that he had to go on strike.

Thinking of this, Lu Fenghan couldn't help but look at the handsome young man with cold eyebrows standing under the light. The more he looked at him, the more reluctant he was to look away.

Qi Yan always liked to wear his clothes. Although Lu Fenghan never said it out loud, he was very happy in his heart. It was like putting his own unique mark on Qi Yan, silently announcing to everyone that this was his person and could not be overlooked. Qi Yan was also in a meeting. Po Jun operated and raised a small conference table in the command room. The participants included two professors, Ling Qinshui and Charles, Lorenz, who came here in time before the repair application form for the damaged starship was reported, and two assistants brought by Lorenz from the technical department. With Qi Yan, the six people gathered around the round table. The topic was clear - the energy consumption of the particle inverter. "After starting the particle inverter, the space-time bending is used to instantly reach ultra-high speed. This action is temporarily called 'mobile migration'." Qi Yan pointed to the densely packed data on the lit virtual screen, which made his eyes swell. "This is the specific energy consumption recorded by the Destroyer Army during the maneuver jump in the war just past." Lorenz held a coffee cup in his hand and looked at it very carefully: "The energy reserve of a small ship can only support ten maneuver jumps, and the attack ship can support five times at most, and this is when the energy is 100%." ​​As the head of the expeditionary force's technical department, all the data was firmly memorized in his mind. Taking this operation as an example, when a destroyer arrived at the battle zone, it had consumed 10%-15% of its energy, and it would certainly not be able to support more than ten maneuver jumps on the battlefield. The main ship is heavy, and the energy can support fewer times. This technology is very useful, but the limitations cannot be ignored. " Facts have proved that maneuver jumps are very effective on the battlefield. Not only can they disrupt the enemy's offensive, but they can also catch the enemy off guard at a long distance. It can be fully inferred that there is still a lot of tactical space for the application of this technology, and it will surely become a powerful weapon for the alliance in the future. Of course, the premise is to solve the energy constraints. Ling Qishen and Charles looked at each other, and Ling Qishen spoke first: "Regarding the issue of energy loss, when Professor Shockley was still here, we had conducted many discussions and experiments, especially in the past year, when Leto fell, we stepped up our progress, but the results were not ideal." Charles continued: "We have tested the energy currently used by the alliance. Most of them are less efficient than the current energy. A few can be improved by about 5%, but such a small gap is not enough to invest a lot of manpower and material resources for mining, transportation and processing." Lorenz put the coffee cup on the conference table: "What about technology, is there any possibility of improvement?" Ling Qishen Qishen shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, to temporarily bend spacetime, a very, very large amount of energy is required. Once the energy fails to meet the standard, it will cause unpredictable effects, such as the shredding of a starship that wants to perform a maneuverable jump. So theoretically speaking, it is impossible to reduce the energy consumption of maneuverable jumps." As if knowing what Lorenz wanted to ask, Ling Qishen added, "The inverter we temporarily equipped on the destroyer has already given the answer, and the material and process have little impact." Putting his fingers on the handle of the coffee cup, Lorenz concluded, "So, the problem can only be solved from the energy aspect." "Yes," Richards looked at Qi Yan, "Professor Ling, Professor Shockley and I have only experimented with the energy sources within our capabilities, which are not complete. If possible, Qi Yan, you may be able to make some progress." The two people who followed Lorenz to listen to the lecture looked at each other quietly after hearing this, feeling a little strange. Although Qi Yan's ability was highly recognized by their boss, and he was also very comfortable with the power system, they were not sure at all what level his true level was. But the two professors in front of him were almost the top in their respective fields and were well-known throughout the alliance. But when Richards spoke to Qi Yan, there was an indescribable feeling in his tone, which did not seem like he was talking to a junior and equal. "Okay," Qi Yan understood what Richards meant, and after agreeing, he continued, "I have connected the particle inverter to the starship's central control system, and there are still a few small problems to be solved." This time, even Lorenz couldn't help but look at Qi Yan. The starship's central control system is constructed by Y, which is extremely closed and has a highly complex data flow. The most important thing is that the central control system has the function of self-repair. Once a problem occurs somewhere or the data is abnormal, the system will perform self-detection and then repair the loophole. Occasionally, if it cannot be repaired smoothly, Y will provide a manual for reference. This resulted in Weiss becoming the acting commander-in-chief after the first major defeat. He wanted to attack the central control system several times, but he had no idea where to start. Lorenz still can't say that he is proficient in his research, but it is obvious that Qi Yan is familiar with the central control system. On the other hand, the central control system is obviously open - it can almost connect and upgrade any auxiliary system, such as the drive amplification system, radar detection and identification enhancer, enemy trajectory calculation patch, etc. that have been connected in the past three years, and now "Wind Catcher", "Mirage" and particle inverter have been added. Lorenz thought again that "Mirage" was perfectly embedded in the central control system when it was used, and Lu Fenghan didn't mention it, so he subconsciously ignored this problem. The meeting was suspended here, and the damaged starships began to be recovered. Lorenz hurriedly left with his coffee cup, and his white lab coat swirled in the air. Before leaving, Charles looked at the universe outside the porthole and sighed: "If Professor Shockley could also witness all this, he would cheer excitedly. The particle inverter has not only been verified, but also become a helper for the expeditionary force." Qi Yan was still not good at comforting. He subconsciously glanced at Lu Fenghan who was in the meeting, and only responded with the second half of the sentence: "Not only the expeditionary force, the particle inverter will become a helper for the entire alliance army. The alliance will win, and Professor Shockley's sacrifice will not be in vain." "Yes, the Alliance will win." Charlize's lips showed a smile. She wrapped the knitted coat she was wearing, and her long golden hair fell along her shoulders. She said with emotion, "Peace is the foundation and prerequisite for the development of science and technology. People need to think and engage in scientific research in a stable environment and mood. But wartime often breeds technological explosions." Qi Yan followed her thoughts: "Because people have emotions?"

"Yes, feelings and emotions will become a person's driving force, and this driving force does not have to comply with the law of conservation of energy. The citizens of the alliance have feelings for the alliance, humans have a sense of belonging to their race, and the military has a mission and belief. When the alliance needs it, the race needs it, and the military needs it, all the previous accumulation of technology will begin to transform rapidly."

Ling Qishen smiled and said, "Just like us, before the founding day, the research speed was neither fast nor slow, after all, people have the nature of enjoyment and laziness. But after the founding day, we began to speed up the research because this technology might be able to be used on the battlefield to reduce the casualties of our soldiers."

"If it weren't for the need on the front line, the particle inverter would not be available for another twenty years." Charles brushed his long blond hair behind his shoulders, his eyes clear and gentle, "Peace makes technology accumulate slowly, and similarly, I hope technology can accelerate the arrival of peace." After

Lu Fenghan finished the post-war meeting, he looked up and saw Qi Yan standing by the porthole, looking at the vast universe and stars.

I don't know if it was Lu Fenghan's illusion, but Qi Yan seemed to have grown one or two centimeters taller, his figure was more slender, and his eyebrows and eyes revealed on his side face were clear and delicate, as if they were carved out of ice and snow.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Lu Fenghan held the person's hand, and as expected, the fingertips were as cool as if they had been dipped in frost.

He put it to his lips and kissed it.

Qi Yan's fingers sensitively shrank slightly.

"I'm thinking, the world is vast, there are different people, many different ideas, all worth thinking and analyzing." Qi Yan thought for a moment, "Such a colorful world should not be ruled by a single 'God'. It shouldn't become a world where people can only do what 'God' tells them to do, and people can only think what 'God' allows them to think."

Lu Fenghan listened carefully and said, "Yes, not to mention that the so-called 'God' is just a false god, a golden veil that wraps up the insatiable desire for power in people's hearts."

At this time, Qi Yan's personal terminal prompted that a message had been received.

"I just contacted the White Tower, and I want to know if there is any new energy that can support the needs of mobile migration." As he said, he clicked on the message, read a paragraph, and suddenly looked up at Lu Fenghan.

"Hmm?" Lu Fenghan raised the last syllable of his voice to express doubt.

"The White Tower replied that there is a new energy source in the later stages of experimental research that can be tried. The new energy source comes from a certain type of ore. From the current research, this type of ore has a very high density. Through collision transformation, it is very likely that it can support the high energy required for mobile migration."

Qi Yan's tone was a little strange. "This new energy source, or the discoverer of this type of ore, is me and the general."

Lu Fenghan was also startled.

But he quickly thought: "It was the planet we landed on when we were hijacked by interstellar pirates on a civilian starship to Wozi Star. The starship exploded in the jump channel?"

Qi Yan nodded, with an obvious smile in his eyes, like a broken star: "Yes, it's the ore we found on that planet where it always rains."

He remembered that after returning to Turan, he and Lu Fenghan handed over the ore samples they brought back to the Ore Identification Center of Turan Academy for testing. The test results at that time were that it belonged to a type that was not included in the Alliance, and the internal structure pointed to the direction of energy.

However, more than half a month later, Leto fell.

Unexpectedly, this ore sample has been passed around countless times and was sent to the White Tower, and now it appears in front of Qi Yan again.

After clearing the battlefield, Lu Fenghan ordered to return. Except for the Jiangling fleet led by Du Shang, all other fleets set out to return.

Mei Jielin howled in the channel, saying that she would rather stay than go back to train the new recruits.

However, the proposal was coldly rejected by Lu Fenghan.

Although she howled so much, three days later, when the endless military transport ships brought the new recruits from the Kepler Region, Mei Jielin rarely wore a full set of military uniforms - standard shirts, military jackets, military caps, epaulettes straight, buttons fastened to the top, serious and straight. So much so

that when Wei Yin ran into her in the passage, he couldn't recognize her.

Qi Yan had just gotten up. After washing up, she was about to go to the kitchen to look for Lu Fenghan. When she saw Mei Jielin in the corridor, she couldn't help but blink: "Mei Jielin?"

Mei Jielin's princess hair hung smoothly on the side of her face, making her look cold and high-class. She raised her chin: "How do you look?"

Qi Yan praised: "Very handsome."

Mei Jielin: "Who is handsome, me or the commander?"

Qi Yan said without hesitation: "General."

"Okay, I really shouldn't have asked you this question," Metierin raised her shoulders and complained, "I feel so uncomfortable. This military jacket is uncomfortable to wear. I don't know how Eric manages to look so neat and tidy all the time!"

She sighed again, "But those recruits must have endless fantasies about the Expeditionary Force. I will satisfy them for now and prevent the Expeditionary Force from losing its image as their 'dream army' too quickly!"

Go to the kitchen, After Qi Yan told Lu Fenghan these words, Lu Fenghan said mercilessly: "In half an hour at most, the image of the expeditionary army in the minds of these new soldiers will collapse completely."

He stretched out his hand to Qi Yan and said, "But it doesn't matter if it collapses. In reality, the front line is not so mysterious, passionate and ambitious. There are only countless people trying to survive and protect something at the same time."

Qi Yan just approached and Lu Fenghan fed him half a spoonful of star mushroom sauce.

Seeing Qi Yan looking at him with a pair of clean eyes, Lu Fenghan chuckled: "Why are you biting the spoon? Open your mouth."

Qi Yan finally realized and let go.

Lu Fenghan: "Is it edible?"

Qi Yan tasted it carefully and gave a rare evaluation: "Delicious."

Lu Fenghan did not change the spoon in his hand and tasted a little himself: "It tastes good. I found the recipe on Starnet. I'll make it and let you try it with noodles."

He was wearing a uniform shirt, dark trousers tucked into military boots, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a well-proportioned body. Lu Fenghan, who had lost his sharpness and hostility on the battlefield, was like a famous sword that had seen blood and returned to its sheath. The murderous aura was retracted, and the aura of laziness prevailed.

Qi Yan leaned on the edge of the kitchen counter, quietly watching Lu Fenghan seasoning the star flower mushroom sauce. It was as if there was a spring in her heart, bubbling out warm spring water.

Lu Fenghan raised his arm, opened the cabinet above Qi Yan's side, and took out a deep plate from it.

At this moment, Qi Yan tilted her head and kissed the inside of Lu Fenghan's arm that was across her eyes.
