After careful consideration and soliciting opinions from fourteen captains, Lu Jian finally chose to compete with the Americans for Glitzer 581.

Most of the soldiers of the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force have a deep blood hatred with the outer bones. If it were not for the support of hatred, most members of the First Fleet would not have actively signed up for the Expeditionary Force.

Such an army is destined to be the sharpest spear and can never become a united force.

Although the Second Fleet also wanted to fight for the mission of Glitzer 581, the Tianjun Headquarters finally chose the First Fleet with relatively rich combat experience.

After determining the next mission goal, the fleet immediately launched a intensive preparation. Due to the increase in speed, it is no longer difficult to replenish the Earth's space compared to the Proxima Star. The goal of this mission is far twenty light years away, and the supply is relatively difficult. Therefore, the Second Fleet handed over a large amount of combat preparation supplies to the First Fleet, filling all the warehouses of the First Fleet.

At the same time, the First Fleet began to carry out comprehensive maintenance of warships other than Hengshan to keep the warships in the best condition. In addition, the Yuanwang needs to be transformed to a certain extent to increase the Yuanwang flight speed so that it can fly with the main force.

While the Second Fleet sent a large number of personnel to help, it launched a poaching operation from top to bottom. The fleet commander Zheng Guo personally found Lu Jian's door, hoping to exchange a group of officers and soldiers with practical experience from the First Fleet to improve the combat effectiveness of the Second Fleet.

Lu Jian was very dissatisfied with Zheng State's poaching and clearly refused. However, Zheng State actually led the matter to the Tianjun Headquarters. He also had the title of imparting experience and improving the combat effectiveness of friendly forces, and actually received support from the Tianjun Headquarters.

Lu Jian had to support the decision of the headquarters, but the headquarters could not transfer all the combat backbones of the First Fleet with just one order, right? After all, the First Fleet is the most combat-effective unit of the Expeditionary Force - and the only unit that launched a series of battles with the External Skeletons.

Zheng Guo asked himself about his relocation, and he was absolutely unsure of not sinking any warships after the Battle of Proxima Cialis. With this, he had to dig a few people.

The two sides argued, and in the end, the Tianjun Headquarters was in the middle to mediate and become a peacemaker. Lu Jian no longer stopped Zheng from poaching, but in order to take care of Lu Jian's emotions, he did not give anyone he wanted. He had to be transferred to the Second Fleet without his own voluntary action, and the total number must be strictly controlled and the combat effectiveness of the First Fleet must not be affected.

Both parties can accept such conditions. If you want to leave, you can barely stay today. You will leave sooner or later. If you don’t want to leave, you won’t be able to chase them away.

Zheng State was also very satisfied and promoted to the position. The family members were resettled and the conditions were free of charge, so I didn’t believe that I couldn’t find anyone!

The open and secret struggles of the two fleets were put on the table, spreading throughout the army almost instantly. There were many intentional activists in the first fleet, but not everyone in Zheng State wanted them. Combined with the combat record of the Proxima Centar Battle, he locked in a group of outstanding commanders, and Ye Fei's name was among the best.

A single ship dragged the bone tomb and eventually wiped out. Who doesn’t want such a commander?

Zheng Guo personally talked to Ye Fei, and promised a lot of generous conditions.

Ye Fei was moved when he heard this, but there were his brothers who shared life and death on the Yangtze River. Since the First Fleet formed an army, Lu Jian has taken care of him. After thinking about it, he finally refused regretfully.

Zheng Guo felt it was even more a pity than Ye Fei himself, and kept complaining about Lu Jian’s luck.

Not only Ye Fei, but none of the other middle and senior officers locked in by Zheng State agreed to be transferred to the Second Fleet. There were a few officers at the lieutenant level who were willing, but the number of people was too small, which was a drop in the bucket.

The disappointed Zheng State simply came to cast a wide net and caught more fish, and then he dug up a few more people. However, the highest rank was the major, and no commando who shined in the Proxima Battle was found, which disappointed Commander Zheng a lot.

22, 205, the Proxima Centauri defense system suddenly detected a large number of space fluctuations caused by super-light speed flights. The early warning system immediately sent the message back to the fleet, and the fleet immediately stopped resting and entered a state of combat readiness.

Soon, a fleet left the super-light speed state and appeared within the range of the Centaur dual-star. The familiar streamlined appearance of the opponent's warship made all the expeditionary soldiers stunned. Why is it a giant whale-level?

Through the real-time picture sent back by the early warning system, the Expeditionary Force discovered the Russian Sky Army logo under the bow of the incoming ship, and then confirmed the other party's identity.

Did the Russians create another batch of improved giant whale-level?

Proxima Centauri is the springboard for getting out of the solar system. It is not surprising that the Russians have ideas. Moreover, there are no habitable planets here, so there is no need to grab territory, and it does not belong to the first come first served principle in the Moscow agreement. It does not have the conditions to occupy an extra-system enclave. Therefore, any country has the right to park after entering Proxima Centauri.

More than one person in the expeditionary army with hidden news thought this way, but Lu Jian and Zheng both understood people and vaguely realized the origin of each other.

After all, we are in the same galaxy, and the Allies have not yet been disbanded, and both sides are affiliated with the alliance, so we have to say hello. The Hengshan, which completed the maintenance of the entire ship in advance due to the super-light speed experiment, immediately went to the double stars and was ordered to contact the other party and ask about the other party's purpose.

After two days of full speed, Hengshan approached the Russian army and brought the distance closer, Yu Haiyi suddenly realized that the Russian warship was mostly damaged. After careful inquiry and communication, it was finally confirmed that the other party was the remnant of the Russian Expeditionary Force sent to Wolf 359.

The Russian Expeditionary Force set off in July 2203 and arrived at Wolf 359 in June 2204. Due to the failure of the battle, the fleet suffered heavy losses. The Russian flagship equipped with resonance communication instrument sent the news of the defeat back to the earth before sinking, and then lost contact with the earth.

The time is 9:23 am on July 7, 204.

Since then, humans can only get a little information about the Russian Expeditionary Force through mechanical civilization, and never directly resume contact with the Russian Expeditionary Force. Unexpectedly, a year later, they appeared in Proxima Centaria!

Through further communication, the Expeditionary Force finally understood the whole story.

After the Russian Expeditionary Force failed, the exterior skeleton escaped from the battlefield, and the outer bones chased him reluctantly. In the end, it was the pioneer of mechanical civilization, Jiu, who took action to respond, and then escaped and ascended to heaven.

After that, the entire army tried its best to rescue the warships, but the total number of lost warships was still more than half. However, the exoskeletons seemed to have no interest in the Russian sinking warships, so the Russian army hid. Soon after the exoskeletons left, the Russian army returned to the battlefield to search for survivors, and dismantled the equipment still available on the sunken warships, and repaired several warships in piecemeal.

The polar bear, who wanted to save face, was defeated and refused to return to Earth directly. He heard from Pioneer Jiu that another human fleet arrived at Proxima Centauri. Then he made up his mind to fly to Proxima Centauri... To put it bluntly, he just had no shame to return to Earth and ran Proxima Centauri to ask for comfort.

When he met such a commander, Lu Jian was so amused and laughed. As an Allied Army, he couldn't ignore it. It felt like a group of poor relatives who could not beat him suddenly came to his family.

However, the news brought back by the Russian army forced Lu Jian and Zheng State to pay attention to it - according to the Russian army. Originally, they wanted to stay at Wolf 359 for a while, but the arrival of another exoskeleton community forced them to leave early.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force has eliminated two exoskeleton colonies. This is the third exoskeleton colony that has mastered the exact information!

Lu Jian discussed with Zheng State, and jointly reported the situation to the Tianjun Headquarters and informed the remnants of the Russian Expeditionary Force.

The Tianjun Headquarters quickly replied: The First Fleet was implemented as planned and the Second Fleet was guarding Proxima Centauri.

The reply clearly required Lu Jian to help friendly forces improve their combat effectiveness as much as possible, and conveyed the secret documents sent by Russia to the Russian expeditionary force.

Obviously, the first fleet's record of defeating three cities in a row gave the headquarters great confidence, believing that the current organization of the Expeditionary Force is enough to fight against an exoskeleton community, and the second fleet has no problem defending Proxima Centauri.

Unfortunately, Zheng Guo himself didn't think so. He believed that the victory of the First Fleet was too accidental and could not be copied at all, so another round of crazy poaching began again.

2 On July 23, 205, after a month of 34 times the speed of light, the Pengze Lake supply ship arrived in the solar system. In order to prevent other countries from discovering the return of Pengze Lake and then discovering the secret of super-light speed flight, the Pengze Lake secretly docked at the Saturn base and loaded with supplementary light-speed torpedoes and some small super-light speed engines... The time is too short. Although the Saturn base is doing its best, it only produces 270 small super-light speed engines, with a gap of more than 100, and the combat intensity of the fighter jets is large. Small super-light speed engines, like fighter engines, must have a part of the balance reserve in case of emergencies, so the actual gap is far more than this number.

For safety reasons, Pengze Lake carried out comprehensive maintenance at Saturn's base. After all, the Saturn base is the largest outer space base of the Sky Army, and its support strength is extremely strong. In just five days, the 16-kilometer-long giant ship was renovated and even slightly modified. Two fusion reactors specially designed for superluminal engines were added to the ship!

That is, if the supply ship has sufficient space inside the ship, it is possible to find a space suitable for installing a reactor. If it is replaced by other warships, it does not meet the conditions for transformation at all.

In six days, the production line of the Saturn base added more than 60 small superluminal engines to the Pengze Lake, and the gap was reduced by less than half. Considering that the Expeditionary Force left Proxima Centauri and left the solar system, it was very difficult to replenish it again, Hu Zhonghai asked Lu Jian for instructions and decided to wait for a while to replenish the required materials.

2 On August 9, 205, the Pengze Lake, which had been docked for 17 days, was finally fully loaded and flew away from the solar system for the second time.

However, the Pengze Lake did not fly to Proxima Centauri, but to Glitzer 581 in Libra!

Libra is located at 15h astray and desolate -15 degrees; Proxima Centauri is located at 13h astray and desolate -50 degrees.

Although the two constellations are not at the same angle, the directions are quite different. If the earth and the two are drawn into a triangle, the position of Proxima Centauri is exactly at the largest obtuse angle!

Flying from Proxima Centauri to Glitze 581, the distance is about 17 light years, and the distance from the earth to there is about 20.4 light years, so the Pengze Lake must set out first.

2 On August 17, 205, the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force completed maintenance and left Proxima Centauri. The fleet did not fly directly to Glitzer 581, and its heading was perpendicular to the connection between the Earth and Glitzer 581.

2 On September 9, 2205, the Pengze Lake, which increased its speed, arrived at the converged coordinates first at a flight speed of 40 times the speed of light.

2 On September 12, 205, the main force of the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force arrived at the convergence coordinates, and the fleet was fully loaded. It flew directly to Glitze 581.

2 In late October 205, the second exoskeleton community from Wolf 359 flew to Proxima Centauri.

The Second Fleet wanted to imitate the light-speed torpedo tactic, but failed to hit the bone tomb. The intact bone tomb appeared within the Centaur A three-combination star and was hit by the expeditionary force of China and Russia.

The fleets of the two countries cooperated closely. After more than a month of joint suppression, by the end of November, most of the main fleets of the community were wiped out. Because of the flexible and maneuvering tactics, the second fleet of the Expeditionary Force lost only one destroyer. The Russian army lost twelve warships due to the poor performance of the warships, but compared with the enemy, this loss was nothing.

During this period, Zheng State intends to repeat the victory experience of the First Fleet. However, the asteroid impact tactic failed to achieve success. The second launch of the light-speed torpedo hit the target. He severely damaged the bone tomb, but the damage situation was not satisfactory compared to the hit at super-light speed. It was far from meeting Zheng State's psychological expectations.

In the end, he had to give up the fantasy of winning by surprise and honestly used his best game tactics to drag down the enemy.

This battle lasted thirty-seven days, known in history as the Second Proxima Centar Battle. Its significance is not to defeat the outer bones again, but to the dawn of defending the enemy outside the galaxy.

Although it was not satisfactory, victory was victory. In this battle, Zheng Guo was proud and finally wiped out the external bone crowd with his own strength, so that Lu Jian would not be too beautiful than before. The dozens of Russian warships had no speed, no firepower, and no firepower. They could not help at all. They were just here to get experience. In private, they were called the Expeditionary Force: Soy Sauce Party Expeditionary Force.

However, the Russian side does not think so. At least the Russian Expeditionary Force participated in the battle throughout the whole process, so it exaggerated the reports, exaggerated the achievements, and publicly commended outstanding personnel in the battle.

Although it is understandable to use exaggerated means to inspire the morale of the military and civilians in China, in the eyes of those who are familiar with the inside story, it is inevitable that polar bears can be despicable.

Fortunately, Russia's morale has been extremely high. As one of the three major aerospace countries, Russia has regained its passion. It is a good thing for all mankind. No fool who knows but does not have a brain, jumped out and poured cold water at this time, giving the Russians a big and small face. The insiders are basically all from China, with only a few exceptions, and they are also high-level government officials, and all of them are people with extremely high political awareness.

It was a new year in a blink of an eye. On February 12, 206, bright colorful light flashed in the distant void, and then sixteen giant ships appeared one by one.

The flagship of the first fleet of the Expeditionary Force, the Yanjing, Lu Jian, sat on the command chair with a big horse, and waved his heroic spirit: "Confirm the position of the fleet!"

"Confirm the position of the fleet... Confirm the arrival of the periphery of Glitze 581, 25 astronomical units away from the target!" Hu Bin was full of passion, and before he finished speaking, the command center was filled with joy...

"It's finally here, it's finally here!" Hu Bin clenched his fists, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Twenty light years are beyond imagination. Humans have never sailed so far, nor can they enter such a distant area. No matter how precise the direction of the fleet sets off, there will be many small detours after passing the long distance described in light years.

The Expeditionary Force escaped from the super-light speed for the first time and was staggering for more than half a light-year. After that, it carried out fourteen voyage corrections to finally reach the nearest of the target. For Hu Bin, nothing more exciting for him.

At this point, the First Expeditionary Force finally appeared on the periphery of the planetary system Glitze 581.

Lu Jian once asked Hu Bin why there was a weird name like Glitzer 581, not a name like Proxima Centauri and Sirius.

Hu Bin's answer is very interesting. He said that astronomers have always lacked romantic factors, such as Jupiter's big red spots and Neptune's big black spots. The name is straightforward and clear, without any modification or beautification.

Even the only astronomical phenomena in the solar system cannot escape this law, let alone asteroids in the sky and red dwarfs spread all over the universe. Red dwarfs have extremely long lifespans, some of which can even reach one trillion years, far exceeding the lifespan of the sun by 10 billion years, while large-mass stars have a lifespan of only one million years!

Therefore, 70% of the stars in the Milky Way are red dwarfs, and most of them are less than one-third of the sun's diameter and mass, and the maximum is only about half of the sun's sun, and the light released is much weaker than that of the sun.

There are countless stars in the sky, and it is impossible to name one by one. The method of replacing numbers naturally becomes the mainstream.

Glitzer 581 is a star chart published by German astronomer William Glitzer in 1957. It contains 915 stars within 65 light years.

Glizzer 581 is just a red dwarf with a mass of about one-third of the sun and a diameter equal to 30% of the sun's diameter. Although humans discovered that there might be habitable planets here in the early 21st century and proved the existence of habitable planets in the mid-21st century, in the astronomical world, this planetary system has not been independently named.

But Lu Jian was not as excited as he imagined and calmly ordered: "Adjust the direction...the planetary system within the target!"

"Adjust the direction, the planetary system within the target...the direction has been adjusted!"

"Start... start to investigate the galaxy situation immediately!" Twenty-five astronomical units were not worth another super-light speed flight, so Lu Jian simply ordered to approach the target in a regular way.

"Report, a high-speed unknown celestial body was found ahead, with a distance of 1.6 astronomical units!" The fleet encountered an accident after flying out only two astronomical units.

"Avoid now!" Lu Jian ordered urgently.

"Left Ruler Seven!" Xu Dong ordered.

"The seventh degree left...the unknown celestial body turns and approaches us! The distance is 1.2 astronomical unit...confirm that the other party is not natural celestial body!"

"Roll the battle alarm and prepare for battle!"
