The Oort Nebula is the edge of the solar system.
In a sense, it is just like when the earth still had the concept of countries hundreds of years ago.
There are national boundaries between countries, and today's Oort Nebula is equal to The "borderline" between the solar system and other small galaxies.
With the end of the second war between Earth civilization and Gaia civilization more than 400 years ago, Earth civilization finally won the war, and the Oort Nebula was managed by Earth civilization as the boundary line of the galaxy.
Within the nebula, all airspace belongs to the scope of Earth's civilization, while outside the Oort Nebula, it is just like the existence of the "high seas" of the Earth in the early years.
In fact, in the past few decades, Earth's civilization has gradually expanded outward, and its tentacles have even reached the direction of the "Golden Galaxy" discovered by Su Yichen and others.
However, when it comes to external expansion, Earth civilization basically focuses on science and exploration, and has not carried out large-scale colonization operations.
There is of course a reason why this is the case.
Unlike other cosmic civilizations in the Milky Way, the Earth civilization surrounded by the vast Oort Nebula has an innate geographical advantage.
The entire Oort Nebula is a natural barrier to the solar system.
Under the protection of the Oort Nebula, it is difficult to accurately position the jump flight.
Even in the curvature flight state, the natural changes of the nebula must be taken into account.
Otherwise, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed.
In the last war, the main battlefield between the Earth civilization and the Gaia civilization was in the Oort Nebula.
Taking advantage of the convenient location of the Oort Nebula, the Earth civilization barely resisted Gaia in the first ten years of the war.
The crazy attack of the sub-civilization bought precious time for the subsequent counterattack and the final victory of the war.
In addition, there is no cosmic civilization outside the Oort Cloud, that is, in the few small galaxies bordering the solar system, and even the most primitive primitive planets have not been formed.
Of course, with the current scientific and technological capabilities of the Earth's civilization that has entered the second-level cosmic civilization, it is theoretically possible to transform an Earth-like planet in a small galaxy outside the solar system for habitation.
However, you must know that if this is done, the Earth's civilization will be extremely invested.
A large amount of manpower and material resources are not worth the gain.
Therefore, the current civilization on Earth is still limited to the Oort Cloud.
The main goal is to ensure the safety of the solar system.
Perhaps when the earth's civilization enters the third level of cosmic civilization or even higher, the small and poor galaxies near the solar system will be developed into a state of great development.
In order to ensure control of the Oort Nebula and prepare the solar system for prevention, Earth civilization has spent nearly 200 years establishing 11 advanced bases within the Oort Nebula.
These advanced bases are all based on the inner Oort Nebula.
Some small Earth-like planets have undergone structural transformation, and Forward Base No. 7 where Lynch is located is one of them.
The No. 7 forward base is built based on a small terrestrial planet with a diameter of about 1,730 kilometers.
This small terrestrial planet is about the same size as Pluto.
The 70-sphere civilization has established complete facilities on its surface, and the forward base The main structures are set deep beneath its surface.
On the surface.
The overall layout of Forward Base No. 7 is somewhat similar to the Pluto base.
In fact, this is a normal thing, because 9 of the 11 forward bases in the Oort Nebula are completely built according to the structure of the Pluto base, and the other The construction of the two forward bases also referred to the structure of the Pluto base, but was changed in some aspects according to the characteristics of the small type of planet where they are located.
Lynch is the commander of Forward Base No. 7, with the rank of colonel.
Although his job is mainly responsible for the management of Forward Base No. 7 and reconnaissance, cruise, etc. within his jurisdiction, he is not a member of the space fleet, but serves as another important military department of the Earth's civilization, the Solar System Defense Committee. subordinate officers.
Although it is a forward base, the No. 7 forward base is as well-established as the Pluto base.
There are not only soldiers living on the base, but also a small defense squadron of the space fleet.
The top commander of the squadron is a young major.
Administratively, he is under the command of Lynch, but in emergencies, in accordance with the military regulations of earth civilization.
The structure and command system are organized, and this small defense squadron has a certain degree of autonomy.
In addition, there are nearly 10,000 ordinary people in the No. 7 Forward Base.
These ordinary earthlings include scientists, technicians and even ordinary earth citizens.
They live in the artificial cities below the base, and all resources are provided by the ecological balance circle in the base.
Of course, in addition to these, the transport spacecraft traveling between the earth and the base will also regularly bring a lot of supplies to the base to meet the needs of the base.
Lynch is 39 years old.
This age is the golden age for a soldier.

He was born about 360 years after the earth's civilization won the war.
As a soldier who grew up in peacetime, he obtained the rank of colonel at his age and was in charge of an advanced base.
Permissions are very rare.
Although Lynch has a good family background, and his education from the Earth Federation's highest military academy gives him an advantage over ordinary people in the military, but he has more opportunities to obtain this military rank and position.
It is a test of one's own efforts, rather than relying on the strength of the family as ordinary people imagine.
More than 20 years ago.
Lynch graduated from the military academy and obtained the rank of lieutenant with excellent results, and then entered the space fleet to serve.
During his service, Lynch came to prominence during a military exercise.
The small assault ship under his command almost turned the tide of the entire exercise by attacking the weak and strong.
After this time, Lynch, a young soldier, attracted attention from above.
It is said that the Space Fleet Command even planned to transfer him to serve in the Headquarters Staff Department.
Such a good opportunity was unexpectedly rejected by Lynch.
You must know that once he joins the Headquarters Staff Department, Serving in the ministry is equivalent to clearing obstacles for a soldier to move forward.
Coupled with his family background, his future prospects are limitless.
But no one expected that Lynch not only refused this great opportunity, but also took the initiative to sign up to escort a scientific research expedition team.
This job was not only stressful, but also boring and boring, and it was too late for others to hide.
But it was Lynch.
Actively apply to join.
After receiving approval from his superiors, Lynch was transferred from the Space Fleet to the Federal Academy of Sciences, which is directly under the Earth Federation, to serve as an escort for the scientific research expedition team.
Over the next ten years or so, Lynch successfully completed many missions and was calm and decisive when an expedition encountered an accident, allowing the entire expedition to return safely.
For this reason, Lynch was awarded many medals and his military rank was gradually promoted to lieutenant colonel.
When Lynch was 35 years old, the commander of Forward Base No. 7 was transferred back to Earth.
Lynch was recommended by the military and transferred to the Solar System Defense Committee.
At the same time, he was sent to serve at the No. 7 Forward Base.
In four years, Lynch won praise from his superiors for his outstanding work, and was promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel.
Such a promotion speed is very rare in peacetime, not to mention that Lynch, as the commander of Forward Base No. 7, is still a capable person in his own right.
Many people agree that Lynch will be promoted to brigadier general before the age of 45, and he will be awarded the star of admiral just around the corner.
Today, as usual, Lynch got up at 5 a.m.
Although it is far away from the earth, No. 7 Forward Base.
But all the work and rest times in the base are exactly the same as those on the earth.
Even the rise and fall of the artificial sun in the city is basically synchronized with the earth.
Lynch, who is used to working out early, spent more than an hour running and swimming.
Then I took a shower and put on my military uniform.
I ate breakfast while watching the news information sent over.
Although I was far away from the earth, due to the advancement of science and technology, the news about the earth was still very timely except for a slight delay.
At 6:30, Lynch finished the milk in the cup, put down the smart terminal and got up.
The adjutant who had been prepared long ago was already waiting at the door.
He got in the car and the self-driving wheelless suspension car quickly got on the track.
Speeding towards the headquarters.
"Colonel, the main work arrangements for you today are as follows."
Sitting in the car, Lynch listened quietly to the adjutant's report.
Managing a forward base and commanding a spacecraft are completely different concepts, and Lynch's work is even more complicated.
For example, the top local governor, who has military and political control, is not only responsible for military work, but also manages the daily work of the entire base, including personnel arrangements.
These are very tedious things.
But for Lynch, who was extremely capable, he did a very good job.

This was also an important point for him to be recognized and praised by his superiors after he became the commander.
While listening to the report, Lynch silently considered today's work arrangements.
After the adjutant finished reporting, Lynch briefly made slight adjustments to several arrangements made in advance, and the adjutant nodded repeatedly.
Point your finger on the smart screen to make adjustments.
There were still a few minutes away from the headquarters, and suddenly the emergency communication in the car came on.
The red light flashed.
The adjutant was stunned.
By the time he reacted, Lynch had already connected to the communication instantly.
"What's up" "The reporting officer has discovered that an unknown spacecraft is heading towards the nebula from outside the solar system.
The speed of the other party is extremely fast.
It is expected to arrive at the No. 7 forward base area in 30 minutes."
"The unknown spacecraft is extremely fast."
Lynch frowned.
These words were simply too general.
As a commander, he always didn't like his subordinates to use such ambiguous words when reporting.
"Distance, speed, origin of the other party" Lynch asked three questions simply and concisely.
However, the staff on duty at the headquarters could not answer.
Just as Lynch's face turned a little dark, the adjutant who knew his character quickly reminded him: "If there is any video, upload the video immediately?"
"Wait a moment."
The person on duty quickly replied, and soon a blurry image was transmitted to Lynch through the terminal.
Through the image, he recognized that this was a spaceship with a strange shape but with beauty.
It was indeed as the person on duty said.
Like that, the opponent's speed is extremely fast, and this speed is not in curvature navigation, but in ordinary navigation.
Judging from the preliminary data, this speed is almost astonishing.
"Contact the other party immediately and ask the other party to identify themselves.
All personnel in the entire base must gather urgently, enter a wartime state, notify the fleet to attack at any time, and transmit all information to the earth."
Lynch did not think much and quickly issued an order.
A series of commands, the staff on duty click on The head agreed, and Lynch closed the communication.
The adjutant who had taken over the automatic operation knowingly increased the speed of the car, and at the same time opened the highest priority authority of the car.
The track in front of the car automatically restricted the other vehicles, carrying Lin Qi.
The car was speeding toward the headquarters at almost top speed.
When Lynch came to the headquarters, the entire headquarters was already busy.
At this moment, the unknown spacecraft was already very close to the No. 7 forward base, and judging from the projection, the spacecraft still had no trace of anything.
There were signs of slowing down, and they were flying towards the area where they were heading.
Lynch stared at the spacecraft.
He was sure that it was a spaceship shape that he had never seen before.
And as the proportions of the spacecraft gradually became determined, he was even more surprised by the size of the spacecraft.
After the earth's civilization entered the second-level cosmic civilization, its spacecraft construction capabilities have become very strong.
Even during the first-level cosmic civilization, people on earth were able to build huge space cities.
But being big is one thing.
To fly such a huge man-made celestial body at such a normal speed, not to mention that the earth civilization cannot do it, I am afraid that even the Blue Star civilization can barely do it.
Whether it was an enemy or a friend, who they were, and what their intentions were when they came to the edge of the solar system.
These questions made Lynch frown deeply.
After all, the war between Earth civilization and Gaia civilization has only lasted a few hundred years.
Although Gaia civilization failed in the war, as an old second-level cosmic civilization, it has never been willing to accept such an ending.

Over the years, the Gaians have often sent some spy ships to the edge of the solar system to explore and collect aspects of the earth's civilization.
Lynch has dealt with this situation after serving as the base commander, but this time it seems a little different.
Could it be that the Gaians are looking for Help comes At this time, the commander of the base fleet also arrived at the headquarters and saluted Lynch.
Lynch returned the salute and pointed at the image of the unknown spacecraft.
Just as he was about to say something, a base lieutenant officer suddenly shouted: " Sir, the other party sent a message" "The other party has revealed his identity."
Lin Qi turned his head and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, sir, but but."
The second lieutenant officer looked very strange, and seemed a little unbelievable when he looked at the communication content in front of him.
"But what are you talking about?"
"You'd better come and see it in person."
Lin Qi strode to the correspondent.
When he saw the displayed communication content, he was also stunned because the content was so strange that he couldn't even believe it.
The content of the communication is very short, with only one line of text, and this is a line of words arranged in both Chinese and English.
"This is the Earth Civilization Home spacecraft, my compatriots, we are finally back." aa2705221:
