Oort Nebula, Forward Base No. 7. , The base commander, Colonel Lynch, is about to leave the base.
News of his promotion to brigadier general has come from the Solar System Defense Committee, and his term at Forward Base No. 7 has also come to an end.
In two days, Lynch will officially step down as the commander of the base and has never boarded the battleship returning to Earth.
After returning to Earth, he will be officially promoted and step into the rank of senior general.
In peacetime, it took Lynch only a few decades to be promoted to brigadier general and thus be called a general.
This is not an easy thing.
This is not only a tribute to the work he did during his tenure as the base commander.
Affirmation, but also the trust and promotion of this young officer by the senior military officials.
Especially in the past ten years or so, as the earth's civilization and the Blue Star civilization began to jointly explore the Andromeda Galaxy, the forward base No. 7, as the frontier, has been charged with extremely important work.
Lynch's outstanding performance in these tasks has been affirmed and recognized by the federal government.
But now, looking at the familiar things around him, Lin Qi felt both expectation and sadness in his heart.
After all, after staying here for so many years, it is impossible not to have feelings.
The entire base was like his home.
Whether it was the ordinary people or soldiers here, or the buildings, passages, or even the plants and trees, they were all deeply imprinted in Lynch's mind.
"We have prepared a farewell banquet for you, and it will be arranged tomorrow night."
As usual, he was listening to his subordinates' report on the base work.
After the report, a major said to Lynch.
"Farewell banquet" Lin Qi looked around.
His subordinates all looked at his superior with smiles.
After so many years of working as a colleague, he was about to leave.
However, these subordinates actually did it without his knowledge.
Lin Qi couldn't help but feel very touched after arranging a farewell party for herself.
"Thank you all.
Thank you all for supporting me over the years."
Lin Qi stood up and said solemnly to everyone, and these subordinates all looked at their superiors with smiles.
They were also excited about Lin Qi's promotion.
Happy from the bottom of his heart, and Lynch's personal charm and ability as a commander have long won their respect over the years.
Lynch accepted everyone's kindness calmly, but he still would not forget the daily work arrangements at the base.
For that matter.
Several officers who organized the farewell banquet had already considered it.
They told Lynch that they would coordinate it in advance and it would not affect the daily work of the No. 7 Forward Base.
After the meeting, Lynch's adjutant was sorting out documents for Lynch.
Lynch took a sip of water and asked, "Isn't Colonel Andre here yet?"
"The colonel's spacecraft has set sail from the Pluto base and is expected to arrive at the base the day after tomorrow."
The adjutant replied.
Lin Qi nodded slightly and said nothing more.
This Colonel Andre is the commander of Forward Base No. 7 who succeeded him.
Lynch's last day at Forward Base No. 7 will be the day after tomorrow, that is to say, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.
He will officially step down as base commander.
According to military regulations, as long as he hands over to his successor before leaving office, generally speaking, the successor will meet with his predecessor in advance, but Colonel Andre deliberately chose a time to arrive a few hours before he left office. , which made Lynch feel a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps Colonel Andre had his own plans, or as a former member of the German nation, his concept of time was different from Lynch's.
However, Lynch was very relieved in terms of handover.
In fact, he is now ready to hand over at any time, and all the information in the base is stored in the intelligent brain system.
After Colonel Andre arrives, Lynch can complete the transfer of authority to the other party.
To be honest, Lynch has finished all the work he has to do now.

After the handover is completed, he will leave the No. 7 Forward Base where he has stayed for many years.
But when he returned to his residence, Lynch felt a little uneasy, perhaps leaving a familiar place and returning to Earth.
Coupled with the promotion, Lin Qi's mood must have changed a bit.
After taking a hot bath and drinking a glass of red wine, Lynch felt much more comfortable.
Standing at the window, looking at the scenery in the distance of the base.
Lin Qi felt extremely emotional.
This time after he was promoted to brigadier general, he would no longer serve on the Earth Defense Committee, but would be transferred to the joint department for exploring the Andromeda Galaxy.
This was proposed by Lynch on his own initiative.
As the commander of Forward Base No. 7 at the edge of the solar system, and an important frontline personnel responsible for part of the material support and base support, he knew a lot about the Andromeda Galaxy exploration project.
With the proposal of this plan 20 years ago, the joint exploration fleet of the Earth Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization has successfully passed through the artificial wormhole to the Andromeda Galaxy.
What is even more surprising is that the artificial wormhole has been extremely stable so far.
There will be no change in the timeline, which means that the timelines of both parties connected by the wormhole are at the same position, and there will be no timeline shift.
This point is extremely important, because only the determination of this point can ensure the full implementation of the entire joint exploration plan.
According to this information, the reason why Su Yichen and the others were in that situation was that the timeline had irreversibly shifted when they passed through the natural wormhole for the first time, resulting in the loss of nearly 400 years.
Now, the artificial wormhole of Lant civilization has confirmed that there is no such problem, thus ensuring the full implementation of the entire plan.
According to reports from the returning spacecraft crew, the exploration work in the Andromeda Galaxy is proceeding very smoothly.
The two parties have found a suitable terrestrial planet in the Andromeda Galaxy, close to the wormhole, and use this terrestrial planet as an advance base to explore the depths of the galaxy.
In addition, the original ecological planet discovered by the Homelander has also been searched and located.
Joint personnel are conducting a comprehensive inspection of that planet.
If possible, this planet may become the first planet of Earth civilization and Blue Star civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Colonize the planet, but it will take a long time to decide whether to implement this plan.
After all, this primitive life planet has too many secrets, especially the strange creatures on the planet and the somewhat outrageous ionospheric conditions.
These must wait until scientists figure them all out before they can finally come up with a plan.
Wasting time on a base is not the life Lynch wants.
The exploration of the Andromeda Galaxy attracts him even more.
In addition, as the exploration plan there gradually unfolds, the manpower and material resources required will increase.
Lynch, a senior officer with both scientific investigation experience and rich experience as a base commander, is the talent that the joint agency urgently needs after Lynch is officially awarded the rank of brigadier general and completed his promotion.
He will go to the Andromeda Galaxy to perform a new mission as an earth civilization.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi's heart boiled with enthusiasm.
This is what a soldier should do.
The expectation for the future diluted the slight sadness that he was about to leave here.
After drinking the remaining wine in the cup, Lin Qi went to bed early to rest tomorrow.
Wait until the farewell party is over.
He is about to set off.
The evening of the next day was also the end of Lynch's last day of work as the commander of Forward Base No. 7.
The farewell banquet held for him was held as scheduled at the event venue in the center of the base.
All the officers and soldiers of the entire base, in addition to the officers on duty and ordinary soldiers, most officers and some soldier representatives attended the banquet, and the carefully prepared banquet also made Lin Qi full of gratitude and touch.
It could be seen that in order to send him off , those subordinates spent a lot of thought.
With excitement, Lynch stepped onto the important stage amidst the applause of everyone and thanked everyone.
It is also his encouragement and farewell as a commander to these familiar and cordial subordinates.
Lynch's speech of thanks was not long.
He just briefly reviewed the days he had spent with everyone over the years, and then expressed his gratitude and farewell to everyone.
Finally, amid stronger applause, Lynch raised his hand to announce the start of the banquet.
Tonight, Lynch was the center of attention and the star of the party.
He held a glass of wine, clinked glasses and chatted with everyone.

As the commander, Lynch can name almost 90 people here, and those who are reluctant to leave him.
However, he sincerely congratulated Lynch on his promotion and his subordinates were also proud and blessed of their commander.
"Your Excellency, I will miss you."
A young captain who was obviously a little drunk said to Lynch with tears in his eyes.
Looking at the captain, Lynch smiled and patted his shoulder: "Hey, I'm not your Excellency yet.
And why do you think Jenny will be jealous if I do this?
I don’t want to be chased by Jenny when I return to Earth.”
Lin Qi just finished speaking.
There was a burst of good-natured laughter all around, and even the captain laughed sheepishly.
Jenny is his fiancée and a technical officer at the base, but she did not have the chance to attend the banquet today because she was on duty.
"Do a good job, and we will have the opportunity to continue working together in the future.
I will miss the days when we were together, including everyone."
Lynch said to the captain earnestly, and at the same time raised the wine glass in his hand to signal to several other young officers around him.
Just as Lynch was saying goodbye, encouraging and comforting everyone one by one, no one noticed that a sergeant suddenly walked in from the door of the venue.
He rushed away quickly, looking around as he walked.
After seeing Lin Qi's position, he quickened his pace.
The sergeant came to Lynch's vicinity, first found Lynch's adjutant, pulled him and whispered something.
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then asked a question, and soon received a repeated affirmation.
The adjutant asked the sergeant to wait, and hurriedly approached Lynch who was talking to others, and then said a few words in Lynch's ear.
"The news is confirmed."
Lin Qi was also stunned, but he quickly returned to normal and asked solemnly.
"It's sure, there's nothing wrong with it."
The adjutant pointed towards the sergeant and said.
"Sound the alarm and the base enters a state of emergency."
"But sir, now."
The adjutant did not expect that Lynch would issue this order without hesitation.
He wanted to tell Lynch about this and just follow the normal regulations.
After all, it was Lynch's farewell banquet period, and Lynch is leaving tomorrow too.
"Nothing, but now," Lin Qi said decisively, with a look that could not be denied.
The adjutant immediately nodded and left quickly.
In less than a minute, all the music in the joyful banquet suddenly disappeared, replaced by the sound of emergency sirens.
At this time, Lin Qi had already walked to the stage and said to the astonished crowd with a serious expression: "All activities under the state of emergency will be canceled immediately.
Everyone will return to their posts within ten minutes."
"yes" Everyone understood in a moment of astonishment and answered in unison.
Then all the soldiers evacuated in an orderly manner and rushed to their respective post areas.
As for Lynch, he also left the venue accompanied by the adjutant and the sergeant who had just arrived.
Went directly to the command center.
When Lynch arrived at the command center, the entire command center was already in place.
After Lynch sat down in his seat, an intelligence officer reported the sudden situation to him in detail.
Lynch did not interrupt the other person's story while listening, but listened quietly, waiting for the other person to finish everything. , Lin Qicai asked: "Have the information been sent to the Pluto base and the earth?"
"It has been sent according to regulations." the intelligence officer replied.
"How long will it take for the other party to approach our Forward Base No. 7?"
"According to the opponent's speed, we will arrive at the No. 7 forward base in about 3 hours."
"Inform the base fleet to be ready to attack at any time, and the base defense weapons are ready at any time."
Lynch gave the orders one by one.

After the orders were issued, he stood up, walked to the middle, and then motioned for people to enlarge the image of the target. , and soon a somewhat blurry but still distinguishable image was displayed in front of him.
Looking at the content of the image, Lin Qi frowned deeply.
The image shows a starry sky, and in this starry sky there are four spacecrafts flying towards the solar system in a strange posture.
According to the direction of each other's route, Forward Base No. 7 is the first to bear the brunt.
These are not the most important, because the most important thing is the shape of these four spaceships.
Everyone in the earth's civilization, especially the military, can recognize them at a glance.
The four spaceships with obvious geometric shapes in the image should be Gaia.
Civilized spaceship.
Why are the Gaia civilization's spaceships here?
It has been so many years since the war between the earth civilization and the Gaia civilization ended.
Although the Gaia civilization was defeated, as a second-level cosmic civilization, they are still a member of the cosmic civilization, and the victorious earth civilization But it was sublimated in the flames of war.
Although the war between the two civilizations ended, the relationship between the two sides has never been good.
Although the relationship is no longer the same as the previous war, the mutual hostility is still obvious, except for some official blandness.
Outside of coming and going, there is no other interaction at all.
But now, four Gaian civilization spacecraft flying towards the solar system have been discovered in the Oort Nebula.
In fact, these four spacecraft should be the most powerful Kara-class battleships of the Gaia civilization from the appearance.
Could it be that the Gaia civilization is not willing to accept the failure of the previous war and is trying to start another war?
Isn't it right?
The other side clearly knows that today's earth civilization is no longer what it used to be.
How could they just send four warships over?
Aren't they afraid of advancing to the base on the 7th?
Is it possible to kill them easily with just one round of combat power?
