The reason is not just because the Human Federation announced that there are still a large number of gaps in the interstellar fleet, but also because the recent expedition of the million troops ignited more people’s passion.
They still don’t know that the fleet remains near Blue Star, but have already started to pay attention to and worry about those soldiers who have gone on expedition.
The related discussions on the internet remain highly popular.
Anyone who opens a post can see a large amount of discussion.
"I don’t know if we can win."
"Two hundred and twenty-one thousand warriors; although it’s impossible, I still hope all of them can return safely."
"Although I’m very grateful to Mr. Shen for everything he’s brought to us and humanity, the highest commander... does Mr. Shen have interstellar command experience?"
"How do you know Mr. Shen doesn’t have experience? Even if he doesn’t, is there anyone more experienced on Blue Star?"
"My aning is why can’t we hire so more experienced interstellar combat commanders from other interstellar civilizations?"
"Are you going to entrust the lives of two hundred thousand warriors to aliens? And no need to worry, would the Human Federation and Mr. Shen not think of sothing you could?"
"Good news! The family letter project has launched! We can record videos and send letters to our family mbers on expedition! Though each warrior only has a monthly capacity of ten Mb, with compressed sending, it’s possible to record a short video!"
"Brothers, I’m planning to enlist too, my brother has already gone on expedition, and as his older brother, I don’t want him to be alone on the battlefield."
"..."
Not only are the soldiers on expedition rapidly adapting to the training life in the Cosmic Fleet, but people on Blue Star are also adapting to the current warti era; they care about frontline news, families look forward to soldiers’ replies, more people eagerly enlist, and increasingly more people are engaging in active war preparation projects...
War brings trendous destruction to any civilization, to any era.
However, most people still strive to make everything better.
This is a comprehensive transformation affecting various fields.
And after another two or three days, the warriors of the First Fleet received the first family letter, which actually also served as a test of the communication system.
Although they had not yet completely left Blue Star, when the soldiers received this first family letter, they could still sense a certain inner strength.
The letter Yu Wenhua received included a long letter from his wife, a short video, family photos, and an essay written by his son.
"My father has beco one of those countless stars, don’t misunderstand, he’s still alive; he’s just gone to do sothing great... I hope, when my father returns safely one day, he can properly accompany my mother. I’ve often seen my mother crying at night these days. If by then the war hasn’t ended, I’ll replace my father to continue fulfilling this great mission; I will beco a better soldier, a stronger warrior."
If this essay were on paper, by the ti Yu Wenhua finished reading it, the paper would probably already be soaked with tears.
In Yu Wenhua’s mory, his son was always mischievous, not studying properly, causing him and his wife a lot of worry.
But after leaving for just ten days, his son seed to grow up overnight.
Not only did he start studying hard, but also began proactively exercising, even helping his mom with household chores to share so of the burden.
This delighted him more than anything else!
"Brat, you think you can replace on the battlefield; no way." Yu Wenhua murmured with his eyes red, and securely saved this first family letter in the safest place on his personal terminal.
After he completed the initial modifications, he planned to store this letter, along with all future family letters, in his brain chip.
Then he sent a group ssage to his comrades.
"B23-E958 squad all combat mbers, training starts, log in to the training space!"
"Ah, there are still ten minutes of rest ti, Captain!"
"Training doesn’t count as rest? This is the virtual training space, simulating space combat! Isn’t this more thrilling than the gas you’ve played before?"
"Playing gas doesn’t have pressure, and isn’t as tiring either, Captain! Plus, every ti you get blown up it truly hurts!"
"Stop whining! If you don’t want to get truly blown up on the battlefield, hurry up with the training!"
"...Yes!"
"..."
Since there’s even a consciousness link, naturally the virtual training space is also existent, which is the most efficient way for combat units to conduct preliminary space combat training.
But this is only preliminary.
Just for familiarizing individuals with operating small warships and the various weapons during space stationing.
No matter how realistic the combat training is made, it’s ultimately just simulated control, unable to completely replicate the real experience of interstellar war.
So when everyone becos sufficiently familiar, they still need to operate the warships for actual control training.
Hence, most captains set rewards and virtual competitive matches, pushing all squads to train fanatically, extrely hard.
This is also a thod to hone Primordial Energy, achieving multiple benefits.
Even Shen Shi is undergoing such training, with his Primordial Energy mastery, coupled with powerful personal equipnt, he probably won’t be able to serve rely as a commander; like the historical record he saw earlier, his son, also the highest commander of the Human Fleet, inevitably had to personally go onto the battlefield at critical monts.
In the future world, even Gong Chu, including the Worren Fleet leader, are the sa.
In interstellar war, the fleet’s chief commander not only serves as the combat command core but often is also the fleet’s mightiest warrior, the sharpest sword, and the best decoy.
Balancing these aspects also extrely tests the commander’s skills.
Otherwise, like the Worren leader, leading to personal demise would indirectly bring about the extinction of the entire fleet and even the entire race.
Fortunately, the significant enhancents from the consciousness residue in Primordial Energy mastery have given Shen Shi more confidence.
And ti, in such training, swiftly flies by.
Until the thirteenth day of the expedition.
Still remaining in the biological warship, having not returned to his own warship for a week, Shen Shi finally received confirmation from the reconnaissance system intelligence.
"The reconnaissance system, at a distance of about forty-two thousand astronomical units from Blue Star, detected multiple intelligent life responses, approaching Blue Star at sub-light speed state. These life responses are separated by a maximum distance of more than ten thousand astronomical units! It’s very likely to be the Worren Fleet’s reconnaissance units!" This was the intelligence personally delivered to Shen Shi by Tao De through the consciousness link.
In fact, Shen Shi had already received this information through his Wogte and his permissions to the Planet Fortress.
He can confirm, these indeed are the Worren Fleet’s reconnaissance units!
The history of the future world does not record the specific locations of these reconnaissance units, but it does have approximate directions and specific numbers.
It’s also possible to make approximate predictions based on ti.
The astronomical units ntioned in Tao De’s intelligence are the conventional units under light-years.
Equivalent to the average distance between Blue Star and the Sun.
And one light-year is roughly 63,241 astronomical units.
Which ans the Worren Fleet’s reconnaissance units are at a distance of nearly two-thirds of a light-year from Blue Star, even accounting for deceleration ti, they would take less than a year to reach Blue Star!
Actually, this distance is enough for them to see Blue Star eight months ago, but not enough to notice specific changes on Blue Star.
Therefore, interception must happen quickly!
"Pass down the order, the whole army to set out imdiately! Activate concealed state, curvature engine at full power!" Shen Shi decisively commanded.
Earlier he was worried unknown changes might occur, after all, in his series of actions not belonging to the future, the future history could change at any mont, he needed to judge independently and couldn’t wholly rely on the historical records.
