......

Gao Tian originally wanted the protocol department to hand over the black hole chip ahead of time.

However, the commanders disagreed and insisted on waiting until he disembarked from the starship before having him hand over the black hole chip in person.

The merits of heroes should not be buried; everyone should know about them.

The original elaborate welcoming ceremony was cancelled by Commander-in-Chief Qi.

The previously cleared venue was partially opened, allowing the media who had been kept outside to enter and observe the ceremony.

Originally, it was a welcoming ceremony for foreign races; now it's a ceremony for heroes returning home.

Humanity had been thinking the wrong thing all along. This wasn't a visit from a mysterious, advanced alien civilization; it was a hero returning with his foreign family.

Colonel Gao Tian was the key to this establishment of diplomatic relations.

There will be a formal welcome banquet for the Zerg Crown Prince later, but for now, the focus of the welcome must be on Colonel High Sky.

When the Prince's ship approached the ground, the Zerg Crown Prince did not disembark from the starship first, but instead contacted humanity from high above, probably for this very purpose.

To the Zerg crown prince, the humans were nothing but a pittance, and it wasn't worth the trip for him.

But he wanted his crown princess to return to Earth in style.

The massive Prince-class warship hovered over the sea.

After the protocol officers and diplomatic officials completed their handover, the engines slowly started, the air and the sea surface vibrated together, and the massive Prince's flagship slowly glided to the shore and docked with the helipad.

At the same time, official human media outlets stepped in.

All large screens around the world, wherever human signals are covered, regardless of region, language, or time, will broadcast simultaneously.

On the big screen, all the deeds of Colonel Gao Tian in carrying out the mission were listed one by one.

All of humanity is watching the screen.

For the first time, ordinary people clearly learned about the efforts made by soldiers to create living space for humanity, that sixteen heroes went to Star 65 alone, about the sacrifices and battles of the army, and about their desperate efforts to kill the insect queen.

She learned that Colonel Gao Tian had met the Zerg Crown Prince by chance, that Colonel Gao Tian had been taken to the advanced Zerg Empire of the fifth-level civilization to become the Crown Princess after he was on the verge of death, and that he had not stayed in the advanced civilization but instead facilitated the establishment of diplomatic relations between the advanced Zerg and humans before returning.

Colonel Gao Tian brought back almost all the publicly available knowledge of the Level 5 civilization, as well as resources and support that were provided almost free of charge. The advanced insectoid race and humans had established peaceful diplomatic relations and kinship ties, and would protect and support humanity's early development when humanity was still weak.

Fear stems from the unknown, but once you clearly understand the current situation, the fear will no longer be so intense.

To make all the people aware of the advanced Zerg and the purpose of the Zerg Empire's giant warships.

Don't hide it; let them know about this powerful force.

The Zerg Empire will not interfere with human sovereignty; on the contrary, it will become the strongest support for humanity in the early stages of its entry into space.

The most difficult time for every civilization is when it first enters the universe.

With the protection of the Zerg, humanity's entry into the cosmos will be safe, smooth, and rapid.

Such a good deed—protecting the still vulnerable human race with one's own strength—should not go unnoticed.

The rights and wrongs, the good and the bad of the Zerg should not be judged by politicians and officials, but by the general public.

......

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great that day.

There were thick clouds in the sky.

As the docking of the Prince-class destroyer approached, a light drizzle began to fall.

On a drizzly September afternoon, forty-seven military region commanders stood in neat rows behind Commander-in-Chief Qi.

The Alliance Director and the politicians and members of Congress from the Alliance were all to the side and behind.

After all, this welcome was only given to Colonel Gao Tian of the military region. Gao Tian is a member of the military, and this was the military's home turf. Their alliance office and Colonel Gao Tian's relationship could not be described as close.

The docking hatch of the Prince-class destroyer slowly opened.

Generally speaking, the person at the forefront of such a scene should be the highest-ranking leader.

They all thought that the Crown Prince of Leernia would be the first to step out of the cabin, but to everyone's surprise, it was Colonel Takaten who was the first to step down the gangway.

Gao Tian, ​​dressed in a neat federal colonel's uniform, held the Crown Prince of Liernia's slender yet strong hand tightly in his right. After stepping out of the cabin, he turned around and greeted the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince of Leonia stepped onto the earth's land following the hand of the heavens, followed by many important officials of Leonia.

The human foreign minister and protocol minister quickly went to meet with the Zerg protocol minister.

The commanders originally wanted to greet the Zerg Crown Prince first, but before they could even step forward, the Crown Prince stepped back, leading the ministers of Lyrnia to the side and rear. He gestured to their Colonel High Sky, indicating that he had no interest in small talk and that other matters could be discussed at the formal welcoming ceremony later.

Now, he will dedicate all his time and space to his Crown Princess.

Once the humans understood, they all stopped in their tracks.

Gao Tian stood alone in front of a group of military leaders.

The observation deck at the Blue Ocean Space Center is not an open-air platform and is limited in size, so the welcoming ceremony was not held on this side; only the accompanying 81-member ceremonial guard was on the platform.

Commander-in-Chief Qi stood up straight.

The remaining forty-seven military region commanders stood on both sides of the back according to their military region numbers.

Every military region commander can see the high sky standing in front of him.

The scene became solemn and silent.

The ceremonial guards standing on both sides suddenly stepped forward in unison, splashing small water droplets on the ground dampened by the drizzle.

With their arms outstretched, they held eighty-one ceremonial bayonets and steel rifles upright, raising them towards the sky obscured by gloom.

Humanity will never succumb to the shadows.

Gao Tian stood there for a moment, stunned.

Commander-in-Chief Qi spoke first, asking, "Colonel Gao Tian, ​​do you have anything to report?"

Do you have anything to report?

some.

There are many.

Gao Tian stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting, Colonel Gao Tian of the 45th Army Region is reporting for duty. The assassination plan against the Insect Queen has been successfully completed, and Planet 65 is now under human control (regardless of how it was controlled, it is now under human control)."

"There are also two black hole chips that the Liernia Empire gifted to our country free of charge. One contains the construction technology and control key of the neutron star gravitational field of the Dyson sphere, a Type II civilization, and the other contains all the open knowledge of a Type V civilization, excluding classified information."

The military region commanders suddenly stood at attention and raised their right arms.

The sound of military boots clattering was uniform as they saluted Gao Tian.

"Colonel Takaten, the Federation of Humanity will forever remember your contributions."

Commander-in-Chief Qi, who was at the forefront, stepped forward, took the chip box from Gao Tian's hand, and said solemnly.

The adjutant accepted the handover and then solemnly presented a mahogany box with both hands.

Commander-in-Chief Qi accepted it with both hands and handed it to Gao Tian.

"What is this...?" Gao Tian really had no idea what was inside.

Commander-in-Chief Qi gestured for him to open it and take a look.

Gao Tian opened the box, lifted the layers of protective velvet, and saw a well-worn gold medal lying quietly at the very back of the box.

Five stars are suspended above the Great Wall.

It's not particularly exquisite. The casting is even somewhat rough.

But Gao Tian recognizes this.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

"Colonel Gao Tian, ​​this is the first highest-level military medal awarded to our Chinese nation more than a thousand years ago. The 23 recipients of this medal laid the foundation for our country's military," said Commander-in-Chief Qi.

"This is a commemorative token that has been passed down through generations. It was given to me twenty years ago when I became the commander of the Earth Military Region. Now, I am handing it over to you. Thank you for everything you have done for humanity, and I hope you will continue to uphold your principles and contribute your powerful strength to the development of the nation."

The large screens in other areas remained unchanged, but in the former Chinatown, the large screen broadcast suddenly stopped.

Instead, an aged voice said, "This is Jiuquan. Please respond if you hear me."

Amidst the clamor of the world, this place was silent as everyone looked up, quietly watching the footage from 1998 being played.

Amidst the rustling sound, a youthful voice from back then said, "The data is normal, you can ignite."

With a loud "bang," the first mushroom cloud rose over the Gobi Desert.

From then on, the country gained its own confidence, began to grow stronger, and joined the ranks of the world's leading nations.

......

Now that humanity possesses these two knowledge chips, humanity will rise in the universe.

The contributions made to the strength of the nation will never be forgotten.

You are now also the Great Wall of mankind.
