For two months, Jiang Xingchen and his forty-eight pilots continued to conduct various trainings.

time...

The day finally came when the Wuluo officially entered service.

"Jiang Xingchen, don't embarrass me, you know?"

"If you let me know what embarrassing thing you did, let's see how I deal with you when you come back!"

...

In the airport.

A group of pilots stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence. A beautiful woman about seventeen or eighteen years old was standing in front of Jiang Xingchen and giving a lecture.

Is this really the commander who has been training us like a devil for two months?

Why does it feel like he has no status in front of that girl and doesn't dare to talk back?

Finally, a few minutes later, Ling Ruoxuan, who couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Su Yingxue back, and Jiang Xingchen was finally free. After saying goodbye to everyone, he boarded the ship with a group of pilots.

And what he doesn't know is...

Su Yingxue, who had been preaching to him just now, now had completely wet eyes.

"Brother, be careful..."

"Silly boy!"

On the side, Ling Ruoxuan, who saw this scene, also put her arms around Xu Yingxue's shoulders.

------

After leaving the mecha squadron pilots in charge of Qian Duoduo, Jiang Xingchen went directly to the bridge.

"Captain, Jiang Xingchen reports!"

"Um!"

Luo Hao didn't show too much enthusiasm. He simply nodded and said nothing else.

Jiang Xingchen, on the other hand, consciously stood on the right side of the captain's position.

"Helmsman, take us out of the airport and target the Salant asteroid belt!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Today is the maiden voyage of the Wuluo ship after it officially entered service, and its mission is also very simple. It is to take over the Fuxing patrol ship and escort the resource mining ships in the Salant asteroid belt.

Originally, only humans existed in the Canglan system, and other civilizations did not know about it and could not enter the Death Nebula, so they should not need escort.

But that's not actually the case.

Although there are no other civilizations in the Canglan system, there is a kind of cosmic creature in the Death Nebula, and they will enter the Canglan system in groups from time to time to attack.

The rebels who had just arrived here did not know this and lost many resource collection ships and staff after being attacked.

After that, it became a routine task for warships to escort resource collection areas.

However, in the past, only two Jiangkai type-3 patrol ships, the Hope and the Fuxing, were rotated, and there were no real warships.

Fortunately, although those cosmic creatures are powerful, their intelligence is very low, and the number of each invasion is not very large.

They range from dozens to hundreds, and are not difficult to eliminate.

This has been maintained until now without any major problems.

But no one dares to relax at all. Maybe one day hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people will suddenly come together?

Who can say for sure?

------

The entire voyage did not use a jump engine, and only relied on the sublight engine to move forward.

On the one hand, the distance is too close, so there is no need to waste that energy. After all, the energy consumed by the jump is very large.

On the other hand, the Wuluo is still on its maiden voyage, and there are still various adjustments along the way. Besides, there are still ten days until the rotation, so there is no rush.

Time passed day by day.

The Wuluo is sailing in space. If you just look out through the portholes, you will have the feeling that the warship is staying in place and motionless.

But in fact, this is an illusion. At this moment, the Wuluo has reached a speed of 500 kilometers per second.

Toot toot toot...

The battle alarm in the battleship was suddenly sounded, and the people who were eating in the restaurant immediately put down their tableware, got up and started running.

Among them was Jiang Xingchen, who had just sat down and hadn't had time to start eating.

Speaking of which, the sirens have not stopped ringing in the past few days. Luo Hao did not waste any time and conducted numerous drills along the way.

However, this time there is something special.

Shortly after the battle alarm sounded, Luo Hao's voice also appeared on the ship's broadcast.

"I am Captain Luo Hao!"

"Everyone reports to their respective combat positions immediately. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen also accelerated his speed, and in less than half a minute, he entered the bridge.

"Captain, what happened?"

"It's those bugs!"

"Bugs...Zergs from the Death Nebula?"

"That's right. Logically speaking, it shouldn't go deep here. We don't even know it yet!"

Luo Hao nodded and said.

At this moment, he was also very confused. After all, in order to prevent the invasion of these Zerg, the resistance army deployed a large number of monitoring and scanning equipment in the Canglan system.

At this moment, the location of the battleship is still in the hinterland of the Canglan system.

Therefore, there is no reason why they have been invaded here, and they have not received any news.

More importantly, to get here, those bugs must cross the Salt asteroid belt!

You know, the Fuxing is patrolling over there!

"Communications officer, have you contacted the Fuxing?"

"No, I keep calling but no reply!"

"Damn it, contact the base camp and report the situation here!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Radar Officer, report on the latest developments of the insect swarm!"

"Yes, Captain, the distance is 3200, the bearing is 1-1-2, the speed is 120, and the quantity is 80. In addition, a spherical object with a diameter of 380 meters was scanned behind the insect swarm!"

"Spherical object? Can you see the picture?"

"The distance is a bit far, I need to adjust it, about a minute!"

"Execute immediately."

"Yes, Captain!"

Listening to the conversation between Luo Hao and the bridge team, Jiang Xingchen also frowned slightly.

He knew about the starry sky Zerg in the Death Nebula. After all, he had been taught about it in school.

But, what exactly is the spherical object with a diameter of 380 meters that the radar officer mentioned just now?

"Xingchen, what do you think?"

"There is too little information. We still have to wait until the observation footage is successfully obtained before further judgment can be made. However, I suggest that the mecha squadron be prepared for attack first and carry nuclear weapons at the same time."

"Is it necessary to carry nuclear weapons?"

For secondary civilizations, nuclear weapons are still the most destructive weapons.

Of course, due to the upgrade of technology, this is not the kind from the home star era, but a cold nuclear fusion weapon, which is dozens of times more powerful.

However, the manufacturing of this kind of weapon is very complicated, and even the current resistance army does not possess more than one hundred weapons.

"Be prepared, after all, the current situation is unclear!"

"Okay, then I'll do as you say, notify the mecha squadron to prepare for attack, and equip one of them with nuclear weapons."

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, a minute passed.

"Captain, the observation screen is available!"

"Put it on your home screen!"

"Yes, Captain!"
