Chapter 490: Run Away

The husband and wife live together for a lifetime. Some may take it from their hearts and understand the words in a room; some may rely on each other and let go of their bodies. Although their interests and preferences are different, they are happy with what they encounter and temporarily get what they want. They are content and do not know that old age is coming.

The battle between the First Fleet of Humanity and the Red Flame Civilization is coming to an end. When the Second Fleet came to join, the enemy's more than 10 million warships had been reduced to more than 2 million by the First Fleet of Humanity in the long-range shooting. Although they were still holding on, their destruction was no longer a suspense.

However, because both sides did not want to engage in close combat, this rare long-range shooting battle lasted for seven months, much longer than previously estimated. During the battle between the two sides, the attack of the Second Fleet was also rarely resisted, so that it took so long to destroy the production base of the first orbital planet.

When the Second Fleet successfully joined forces, Yue Yuan held an emergency meeting on the Tianqin again. The Tianqin was still in the battle, but it was no longer on the front line, so there was no need to do any full-thrust acceleration and deceleration. After the second fleet joined, the number of human fleets was completely superior to that of the other side. Therefore, when the battle was about to end, Yue Yuan convened a group of senior personnel through video to briefly analyze the next fleet's actions.

It was not in the conference room, but everyone was fixed in their own positions, and the discussion was conducted through video. In the course of combat, this form of discussion is very common and nothing unusual.

However, at this time, Yue Yuan suddenly realized that everyone's faces had more or less appeared a little old, and it was precisely because of everyone's changes that he suddenly thought of the words in the preface to the Lanting Collection that had been hidden for a long time.

I don't know that old age is coming!

As the war went on, everyone got old.

The first mate, the second mate, the communicator, the helmsman, the fire controller, the observer, the analyst, the scientific officer and the engine room, when the gradually aging faces appeared on the big screen, Yue Yuan suddenly felt that youth was fleeting.

When they first set out for this star system, these people were still in their early twenties, full of youth. Now their appearance has begun to change to middle-aged. The men's faces seem to have a little more vicissitudes, while the women seem to have a little more mature charm.

Yue Yuan knew that this was because their life potion had lost its effect and they had begun to enter the physiological cycle of slowly aging.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and click on the terminal in front of him, letting the camera project his face in front of him. He used the camera as a mirror.

Yue Yuan remembered that his life potion had also reached its end of the cycle, which seemed to be ten years ago.

However, at a glance, he was surprised to find that he seemed to have not changed much, and still had the handsome face he had ten years ago.

"Maybe I didn't see it myself?"

Yue Yuan was stunned, a little unconvinced. Then he quickly compared his photos from ten years ago before the temporary video conference began.

I thought there would be a difference after comparison, but I didn't expect that I couldn't see any difference at all. It seemed that there was no change at all. Yue Yuan, who didn't believe in evil, used electronic scanning to scan his appearance now and ten years ago and then compared them. The result was very surprising.

There was no big change.

"Is it because I am aging slowly? That shouldn't be the case. Even if it is slower, changes should be visible in ten years. What is going on?!"

Yue Yuan thought he had remembered the expiration time of his medicine wrongly. He also checked the data of the archive center. The result showed that it was the same as his memory, and it had expired ten years ago.

"Strange! It seems that I can only wait until I return to the main civilization to see what happened." This discovery made Yue Yuan a little confused, but he knew that now was not the time to think about these things.

He immediately closed the mirror, and then looked at the people who appeared on the video screen, and said: "According to the current situation, in ten days or half a month, we can easily win this battle, and the goal of this expedition has been basically completed. At this time, I would like to hear your opinions. Should we take the risk of raiding the core star field, or return to the base for repairs before making the next plan."

Because the whole process was a long-range battle, the First Fleet achieved impressive results. So far, it has only paid 3 million warships, which also includes the losses caused by the previous raid by the opponent.

"Now we don't know how many warships the other side has on the back of the planet, so I suggest that we go back to refuel and maintain the damaged warships according to the original plan. If we venture to its core area, if the other side suddenly sends out a large fleet, we may be passive due to fuel problems.

Another point is that the combat method of this fleet in front of us is very puzzling. They can launch a close-range charge against us, but they choose to keep fighting us at a distance. I think there is a trick. They may be showing weakness to us, trying to lure us to continue to attack their core star field after the victory."

As soon as Yue Yuan finished speaking, the first mate of the Tianqin expressed his point of view. However, before he finished speaking, a message from the second fleet interrupted his next words. Oh no, it should be the entire temporary meeting process interrupted.

The communicator said: "General Yue, the commander of the second fleet is requesting communication."

"Access!"

Yue Yuan realized that there must be something wrong with the communication request at this time, so he asked the communicator to access the signal without saying anything.

As expected, as soon as the signal was connected, Man Yuemei, who appeared on the screen, said straight to the point: "Marshal Yue, there is a situation, neutrino detection information: the large fleet of the interstellar trading market has moved, and it is accelerating at a very fast acceleration. The conclusion of our ship's experts' analysis is that the interstellar trading market is going to run away."

Run away? ? ?

Yue Yuan was stunned at first, and then he thought of the abnormal performance of the fleet on the opposite side. It could obviously fight with humans to a higher loss ratio, but inexplicably chose a combat method that was not advantageous to itself.

It felt strange at the time, but now when this message appeared, Yue Yuan instantly figured it out. It turned out that they were using their lives to delay time and buy time for the main civilization to run away.

"Is the news accurate?" Thinking of this, Yue Yuan said.

"It's almost certain. About 70 million unidentified spacecraft on the back of the planet have now left the orbit of the giant gas planet, and the direction is exactly opposite to where we are now. At present, my fleet has sent out probes to investigate the specific situation. As long as we confirm their magnetic thrust traces, we can confirm their specific route!" Manyuemei answered with her special voice. While speaking, the detection data of the second fleet was also shared on the Tianqin.

Yue Yuan saw this and directly waved his hand to distribute the data to every expert and scholar on the Tianqin.

Not long after, these experts and scholars also came to their own conclusions, which were roughly the same as the views of Manyuemei's second fleet. The interstellar trading market has indeed begun to run away.

Then Yue Yuan ordered in the channel: "The intelligence department immediately arranges a detailed detection of all satellites of the second orbit gas planet. I need to know the details of the core area on the opposite side."
