Su Ran slowly raised his head.

The earth is gradually getting smaller in his vision.

Home is away from Earth again, but this time Su Ran was not very uneasy. The Xinjing fleet may still not be strong enough, but it had already undergone a huge change when he first exchanged fire with Proxima Centauri on New Year's Day.

At this moment, they can truly be called the so-called space fleet.

Moreover, this is not only a so-called technological improvement, but also a psychological and conceptual improvement.

They experienced a real, tragic battle in the starry sky and survived.

The current Beijing fleet is already different from before.

The Xinjing fleet is sailing silently.

The target galaxy has been silent.

The Xinjing Fleet called on the equipment in the ground factory of the third star in the target galaxy to monitor space. As they watched, the fleet in the orbit of the third star did not change at all, and it still contracted its defensive formation. Obviously, Lin Yuandong and others still had no gains.

On the other hand, in the three-combination star system, three new battle groups and a large number of reconnaissance aircraft have been deployed in the current area. The exploration ship is quietly exploring and exploring the location of that space coordinate without any trace.

Su Ran needs to first confirm whether the spatial coordinates really point to Proxima Centauri civilization.

But it is best not to be discovered by Proxima Centar civilization.

And not only that, in the solar system, Su Ran is also "checking" the entire galaxy again to prevent something from sneaking in.

...

Target galaxy.

Tong Miaoqiu did not go to the medical department, but returned to his room.

Li Hexuan still wanted to accompany her, but was driven away by a woman domineeringly.

Li Hexuan had no choice but to go back to the bridge first and quietly sent a message to Representative Jin, asking Tong Miaoqiu's good friends to come and take a look.

Kim Ji-young arrived here soon.

She only truly woke up from her coma more than ten days ago. She has been undergoing rehabilitation training and psychological counseling recently, so she has not joined the work of the fleet yet. She is one of the few idle people in the Xinjing fleet now.

Therefore, after hearing that something happened to my good friend, our Jin representative rushed over.

Tong Miaoqiu did not turn Kim Ji-young out, so she opened the door and welcomed her in.

Kim Ji-young looked at Tong Miaoqiu's pale face and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong? My Captain Tong?"

Tong Miaoqiu smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you have to drink more hot water." Kim Ji-young skillfully poured Tong Miaoqiu a cup of hot water and said, "But look at you, it doesn't seem like you feel uncomfortable."

Tong Miaoqiu raised her head in surprise and looked at Kim Ji-young.

"I'm the little roundworm in your belly." Representative Jin laughed a little indifferent.

She has a natural good face, but her thoughts, behaviors, and style are always quite happy, and her temperament and face are completely incompatible.

Tong Miaoqiu looked at her like this and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you."

"What's this?" Kim Ji-young sat shoulder to shoulder along the bed, but the smile on her face gradually faded. She looked at her companion next to her with some concern, "Can you tell me? What's wrong with you?"

Tong Miaoqiu stared at her, shook her head slightly, and after a moment, hesitated and said slowly: "I don't know, I have already passed all the captain's psychological assessment, but...but..."

"But you still feel fearful when facing the enemy?"

Tong Miaoqiu was slightly stunned.

This is the second time that Jin, who has always been stupid, guessed her thoughts in one sentence today.

In a trance, she felt that the friend in front of her seemed to have become another person.

But she suddenly realized that she seemed to rarely see her so serious.

A person who never looks so reliable, heartless, and uncontrollable may be more attentive than anyone else.

Tong Miaoqiu pursed her lips slightly and slowly smiled.

For some reason, she felt much better just by these simple words.

She corrected her scattered hair and said slowly: "Yes, I still feel scared. Even though I have passed the psychological test, I still feel scared.

"However, I don't know what I am afraid of, maybe fear of death - fear of death, isn't it ridiculous for a person like me who had been a mercenary a long time ago? Maybe it was like this before, but now it's different. I'm not alone anymore. I'm a captain, I rule the life and death of countless people, and countless people trust me, like Kim represents the life and death of you. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid to take you to death...

"Of course, maybe I'm also afraid of the starry sky, fearing those terrifying alien civilizations. To be honest, I didn't read many science fiction novels before, and I didn't know that the starry sky looked like this. A long time ago, I foolishly thought that the starry sky might be beautiful, just like countless cartoons from childhood and the description of the starry sky in the movie. It was a big family, civilizations discovered each other, and then formed a larger civilization. Different creatures can live under the same sky, and common prosperity created a world that seems not very advanced but is very beautiful."

"But reality is not like this." Kim Ji-young was silent for a moment before he said quietly, "You already know this more clearly than me. Civilization always needs to improve. The higher the level, the more powerful weapons it is no longer important. The real progress of civilization is the pursuit of each population. It is difficult for the difference in culture to truly connect the two civilizations, and only survival... is what every creature must understand and follow."

Tong Miaoqiu lowered her head slightly, without a response.

Kim Ji-young smiled and said, "But these are not important. My Captain Tong, I am not afraid of death. In fact, I was so excited that you took me to the Narcissus. I think everyone would think like this-

"Everyone who stands behind you and stands on the same warship as you will not stand there because they are afraid of death or any other reason, because they are willing to hand over their lives to you.

“Since we are all willing to give your life to you, what else can you fear?

“Just do the right thing, that’s enough.

"This universe may not be that beautiful, but our home is beautiful enough and our civilization is gorgeous enough, that's enough.

"We don't need to change anything, we just need to move forward, that's enough."

Outside the porthole, the light of the stars shone into the small room. Tong Miaoqiu looked at the Jin deputy who was close to him. After a long time of silence, he slowly showed a relieved smile.
