Before leaving, Bai Yi reorganized the work at hand.
After all, you might not come back once you leave. Even if you really want to come back, it will take a year or two including the journey.
During this half day, Bai Yi handed over all the passengers he had on board to the Third Fleet. He also handed over the laboratory samples and the Apollo.
The Apollo was sealed in a sealed space container, consisting of two groups of eight shielding generators. The eight square-meter generators were interconnected to form a square, enclosed space that enclosed the entire spacecraft.
This square space appears blue from the outside, but this is not the color of the shielding field itself. As a space itself, the shielding field is completely transparent.
The cleverness of this space cube lies in that it does not block the interior by isolating space, but rather uses time. It is said that this was inspired by the designer's visit to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
The flow of time inside the cube is much slower than outside. Therefore, when light penetrates the shielding field and enters the cube, its wavelength will be compressed, causing the overall spectrum to shift toward blue.
That's why the space cube looks blue.
After doing all this, Bai Yi did not forget to destroy the backups stored in the hangars and escape pods. Now that they were out of danger, there was no need to keep these backups.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust the Third Fleet, but once these things get out, they can easily cause ethical problems.
After completing all this, Bai Yi unplugged the chip that served as the carrier of his consciousness from the wetware mainframe in the New Mars Central Computer Room. At that moment, the entire spacecraft came to a standstill.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, all systems started running again under the control of the backup master control program.
Before officially setting off, Bai Yi did not forget to do some cosmetic work on himself. He replaced himself with a stronger body and designed a new slot for the biochip.
This slot is installed at the heart of Bai Yi's chest and is under the strictest protection.
"goodbye."
In the low-Earth orbit of New Mars, Bai Yi bid his final farewell to the broken body of New Mars.
After this separation, the entire Pass C11 galaxy, including all the facilities inside, will be taken over by the Third Fleet.
He actually didn't feel bad about those equipment or even the new Mars rover, after all, there wasn't much left of them.
He was mainly reluctant to part with that large crystal war star.
You have to know that looking at the entire scientific community of the Galactic Alliance, anything related to crystals is now a hot research topic.
Although Bai Yi's own scientific research capabilities may not necessarily produce any practical results.
But he can sell it!
The physical properties of crystals cannot be generalized. In order to obtain samples of some special crystals, the old men and women in the laboratory behind the scenes can beat their brains out.
As a material with great industrial and military potential, samples of Crystal Battle Star are much more expensive than authentic Death Ambergris.
If such an entire planet is sold, it is not impossible to buy a large villa with a swimming pool in full even at the housing prices on Earth.
If it doesn't work, just borrow some more.
Twelve hours passed. Bai Yi boarded the long-awaited shuttle on time.
The interior of this shuttle is very business-like, with solid wood lining, leather-wrapped sofas, an ultra-clear holographic projector, and even a refrigerator specifically for storing alcohol and a massage that adapts to body shape.
Someone was already waiting for him in the shuttle cabin. He was sitting near the boarding gate, so Bai Yi saw him the moment he boarded.
The other person was a standard human, Caucasian, with slightly flat features and some Asian genes. He wore a blue uniform with gold trim, and a symbol consisting of a globe and a round shield was sewn on the chest.
Bai Yi immediately recognized the insignia of the Solar System Defense Force. The Solar System Defense Force was a special fleet independent of the Pan-Galactic United Fleet, and its predecessor was the Earth United Nations Expeditionary Fleet during the Great Crusade.
After the unification of the galaxy and the formation of a multi-species Pan-Galactic United Fleet, the expeditionary fleet withdrew from the galactic stage and was renamed the Solar System Defense Force. In the years that followed, it gradually evolved into a concrete form of honor.
Its headquarters is located on the Earth's satellite, the Moon.
"Hello, I'm Arel, from the Second Supervisory Squadron of the First Battalion of the Solar System Defense Force. I'm your proofreader."
"Hello."
Bai Yi politely shook hands with Arel. He noticed that although he had well-developed muscles, his skin was unusually delicate. It was obvious that the so-called proofreader was a civilian position.
The shuttle set off quickly. During the time they were heading to the Leontopodium star gate, Bai Yi chatted with him casually.
"Are you from Earth?"
Bai Yi looked at his badge.
"I heard that only purebred humans can join the Solar System Defense Force."
"You heard right."
Arel seemed to be proud of his identity as a member of the Defense Force. He gently stroked his badge with his gloved hand.
"But I'm not from Earth. I was born on Charon, a satellite of Pluto. Have you heard of that place?"
Bai Yi nodded.
"I heard it's a very harsh environment, with the outside temperature close to absolute zero."
Arel laughed it off.
"Those were all ancient memories. My ancestors spent 300 years completely transforming Charon's environment. Now it's a paradise on earth."
"Really?"
Bai Yi casually agreed. He had indeed not updated his information in this area for a long time. He didn't know where the programmers copied the data from when they first entered it.
Then they talked about the border guards, and from the border guards they talked about war, and then about the current situation in the Milky Way.
Bai Yi then realized that the Galaxy's current situation was even worse than he had anticipated. Due to the Crystal Storm's sudden and massive invasion, the entire Alliance border was now in a stalemate. Even many outlying star systems had fallen, and large numbers of refugees were being relocated inland.
But all these problems can be summed up in two words: lack of people.
Because the fortifications were not yet ready, the Alliance could only use its fleet to confront the crystal ships head-on. But the problem was that the combined fleet had not yet been fully built, and even after it was fully built, their number would not be enough to resist the entire crystal storm.
Therefore, some trade-offs must be made, unnecessary areas abandoned, and every warship and every defensive platform used to its full potential.
