Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"Idiot! The fleet sends a location confirmation message to Earth every fifteen days. This time, their distress signal is being transmitted across the entire frequency band and range, which means Earth can receive it too. And it's only three days later than the signal we sent last time!"

"..."

Once the signal's location was pinpointed, the captains in the virtual meeting started arguing amongst themselves.

"All right!"

Snoop couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, silencing the crowd.

He then looked around for a moment and said helplessly:

"Gentlemen, if we don't go to rescue them, a military court is a minor matter. After all, we are a colonial armed ship, and only a small number of us are soldiers."

"Yes, only a small number of them are soldiers, so what are we afraid of about a military court?"

"What rescue? I know Pandora, superconducting ore. That company is rolling in money, but they're incredibly stingy. They only sent some mercenaries, and their weapons and equipment were mediocre."

"Yeah, we have our own mission, why should we be the ones with the most useless tasks!"

Below, those who had been clamoring not to go and rescue the person, after hearing Snog's words, became even more righteous.

With one foot on the table, they each angrily confronted ten others, a veritable battle of wits among scholars!

As a result, Snog added casually:

"Although you won't have to go to a military court, according to the contract, if you don't go to the rescue, you won't be entitled to any profit sharing once you return to Earth."

"Wha...what!"

The arrogant expressions on the faces of the people standing on the table instantly froze. They kicked their feet and obediently sat back down in their seats.

His face turned pale and then purple, constantly changing color, until finally he managed to force a very fake smile.

He rubbed his hands together, then gave an awkward laugh.

"Well, I suddenly realized..."

As if he had found the right words, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he spoke in a loud and righteous tone:

"As human beings, it is our duty to help our fellow human beings in need!"

"What do you think?"

"..."

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone else is looking at him with strange eyes.

Your attitude changed way too fast!

"Alright, now that everyone has made up their minds, let's immediately change course and rescue Pandora."

Snog simply nodded.

As the commander-in-chief, how could he not know what kind of people were on this ship?

With the power to distribute profits, he had these people completely under his control!

……

Pandora

The Awakening of Ignorance spacecraft has reached near-Earth orbit.

Cheng Li completely ignored the mercenaries and forced their plane to land with a single data attack.

Then the ground troops rushed over and captured them all.

They are not the real enemies, but merely a group of pawns.

The trigger for sending a distress signal.

"The signal was not a fake distress signal; there was indeed a coded message in the other party's distress signal."

The intelligence adjutant let out a breath and pointed to the screen in front of him.

In an instant, the company's transfer station on the track was also hijacked by data.

"What kind of operation is the colonial fleet?"

The arms adjutant asked in a serious tone.

"Of the 16 ships, the three at the front may have energy shields, based on energy source detection."

The intelligence adjutant retrieved the data and gave an affirmative answer.

"Report this to the space gate and tell them to make preparations."

"Yes!"

Cheng Li let out a soft sigh.

The real test is about to begin in this operation.

The enemy consists of 16 ships, 3 of which have energy shields.

In that case, their strength must be comparable.

If the two sides are not evenly matched, what's the point of training troops?

Of course, Zhu Lao couldn't bear to see his soldiers suffer unnecessary casualties.

So although their strengths are indeed roughly equal, this is actually a deception of the soldiers who are about to appear.

That's right,

Apart from the Awakening of Ignorance, the other ships about to join the battle, not only the crew members but even the captains, all thought they were piloting ordinary "space warships".

But in reality, this war was just a large-scale exercise that would not result in any real casualties among our own people!

Of course, it's a real-world exercise for this universe, but not for the colonial armed fleet.

I hope they make the right choice...

"I hope those captains won't beat me up afterward."

Cheng Li grinned, then suddenly felt a headache coming on as he thought about what he was going to do later.

"Heh, the chances of not getting a beating are slim, especially since your former squad leader was also executed as a captain."

The intelligence adjutant's tone was somewhat gloating.

After this operation, Captain Cheng will probably get ganged up on by the other captains.

"Heh, I'll tell them it was your idea later."

Cheng Li chuckled.

They got beaten up, the three of them were on stage together!

"Uh……"

The intelligence adjutant's lips twitched; he'd forgotten he'd also known about it beforehand.

"..."

The arms adjutant, however, seemed completely indifferent.

If all three of them get beaten up together, it won't just be him who loses face, so what's there to be afraid of!

Chapter 291 Reasoning with Each Other

Avatar, on the planet Pandora.

A shrill alarm sounded.

The crew members of the fifteen fleet ships that had been mobilized rushed to their positions with determined expressions upon hearing the Level 1 combat alert.

The moment the Level 1 combat alarm sounded

They knew that the moment they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

War, a war between spaceships, has begun for the first time!

"This is Pang Hai, the fleet commander. Enemy information has been sent to you."

As the fifteen spaceships rapidly ascended from their hiding place, Commander-in-Chief Pang Hai, a middle-aged man with a square face, spoke in a serious voice:

"The enemy's strength is roughly equal to ours. Gentlemen, this is not a drill; prepare for battle!"

"Also, notify the Awakening of Ignorance to immediately incorporate it into the fleet."

Pang Hai was Cheng Li's former class monitor.

He is also the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

To the outside world, the Awakening of Ignorance is not an Aegis-class warship, but a destroyer.

This time, our universe and Kyushu dispatched three destroyers equipped with energy shields and thirteen escort ships.

Their strength was roughly the same as the enemy's colonial armed fleet.

Well, at least all the information and operational information that all the crew members have access to is like this.

The fleet set sail and, in just three minutes, burst out of Pandora and entered the pitch-black space.

"The other party is traveling at the speed of light and is expected to arrive in half an hour."
