A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

*******************

......

First Military Region Commander's Office.

Commander-in-Chief Qi's adjutant glanced inside again.

There have been so many things to do lately with the Zerg, everyone's been working through the night.

The establishment of planetary barriers, the upgrading of military weapons, the opening of shipping routes, the deployment of shipping routes... The most important leaders in the Commander's Office have been staying in the Military Region Office these past few days.

My eyes are always on documents and working overtime, day and night.

If you really can't take it anymore, go to the rest room and take turns sleeping.

Anyway, they are all alphas, and their levels are not low. They won't die suddenly after sleeping for two hours. They are resilient.

They are very busy, but the busiest person is someone else entirely.

Commander-in-Chief.

The documents on the Commander-in-Chief's desk were always piled high, so many that just looking at them made one feel hopeless, as if they would never be finished.

Moreover, there are so many satellites deployed.

Swarms of lower-level Zerg will still occasionally raid planets, their movements unpredictable and elusive. Therefore, the defenses of every planet must be carefully deployed and constantly monitored.

A holographic star map was spread out in the center of the table, surrounding hundreds of satellites of the Earth, with arrows marking various deployment points crisscrossing and dense annotations on the edges.

Behind the star chart, the stacks of documents at the four corners of the desk were almost half a person high, all with top-secret covers.

Other documents could be sorted and approved by the office secretary and adjutant, but these documents, which were sealed as top secret, could not pass through the hands of anyone else and could only be personally approved and signed by Commander-in-Chief Qi.

Stacks of them were sent in, and stacks of them were taken out.

The commander-in-chief was like a machine; it took him several days to get a break.

We're already so busy, we shouldn't bother the Commander-in-Chief with other matters, but today... um...

Today is different; it is the day that Major General Gao Tian is burying his parents.

The cemetery plot that Major General Gao Tian applied for...

Major General Gao Tian and Major General Chen Feng, lacking experience, might not know what it means to have a separate cemetery within a martyrs' cemetery, with green trees, flowers, and lawns, and only one grave on the lawn.

Even a major general wouldn't be able to get such a cemetery, let alone a major general like Gao Tian, ​​who didn't even fulfill the duties of a major general's parents.

This is the treatment reserved for heads of state.

The Commander-in-Chief allocated the cemetery area he had designated to Major General Gao Tian.

When he saw the approval, he wondered if the commander had gone mad.

It is true that Major General Gao Tian has become the crown princess of the Zerg, but is it necessary to go to this extent?

They allocated him the house, and even the cemetery to him.

After the Commander-in-Chief passed away, where was he buried?

Today is also the day of Major General Gao Tian's parents' burial. Shouldn't the Commander-in-Chief go and show his face?

Even if you do these things without showing your face, it's still a way to win over Major General Gao Tian. But what's the point if you don't let him know?

"Commander," the adjutant went in to ask him.

"What is it?" Commander-in-Chief Qi was still looking at document after document and signing them.

"Today is the day Major General Gao Tian's parents are buried in the cemetery area of ​​the First Military Region," the adjutant reminded him. "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"No need," Commander-in-Chief Qi replied calmly without looking up.

"But..." Then what are you after?!

"No need." Commander-in-Chief Qi repeated himself, his tone not impatient, but conveying an unquestionable sense that no further words were necessary.

"OK."

A good adjutant should not make his superior repeat himself a third time.

The adjutant wisely withdrew.

......

The office returned to silence, broken only by the scratching of pens on documents.

The unfolded document contained neatly recorded operational plans and his signature, the pen strokes bold and powerful.

In today's interstellar age, only the most important documents still require manual approval.

Commander-in-Chief Qi continued to sign and approve documents one after another.

There's been so much going on lately.

He didn't want to do anything and had no intention of seeing Gao Xing.

Gao Xing... has his own family, and he hopes that from now on he can maintain a polite distance with Gao Xing as a former boss and former subordinate.

It's not that difficult. As long as you manage yourself and don't meet them, you can get 80% of this done.

Even tombstones are the same.

Commander-in-Chief Qi looked up at the holographic star map in front of his desk.

There used to be a satellite there, numbered 78.

Twenty years ago, when he first took over as commander-in-chief, he was still too young.

There are too few troops.

With only so many people, he deployed more troops to defend several military satellites engaged in battle with the Zerg.

Satellite 78 has always been an inconspicuous marginal satellite among all satellites, with no special features, few inhabitants, and a small number of alphas among the inhabitants.

The Zerg prefer high-energy flesh and blood, and alphas are their primary targets. Normally, mediocre satellites like Satellite 78 wouldn't attract the Zerg's attention, so it was completely unexpected that the Zerg swarm would choose Satellite 78 for a surprise attack.

Satellite 78 was deployed too little, the insect swarm disappeared too quickly, and support couldn't arrive in time.

When the red dots representing the Zerg swarmed densely toward Satellite 78 on the holographic star map in front of him, his heart ached, and he was filled with rage, yet he was powerless to do anything but watch as the red dot covered Satellite 78.

Looking back now, he realized that he had actually witnessed Gao Xing's death firsthand.

Can a person live without someone they love?

do not know.

But he still has a country, he still has responsibilities; his life does not belong to himself.

He no longer had the energy to think about the past.

[Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 11]

[Breaking News] At 11:10 AM on October 11, 3311, Earth Standard Time, the Cosmic Big Network Joint Committee visited Earth.

The establishment of the Earth-Lelnia route starport marks humanity's entry into interstellar civilization, officially making human civilization the 10001st registered interstellar civilization on the Cosmic Internet, thus realizing interstellar civilization interconnection.

This marks the fact that after thousands of years of space exploration, humanity has finally gained full recognition from interstellar society.

Humanity solemnly pledges to abide by the basic principles of interstellar civilization exchanges, and to uphold mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, peaceful coexistence, and joint maintenance of the local cosmic order with other interstellar civilizations.

At 2 PM, Commander-in-Chief Qi and Director Rodri, representing the Joint Committee on Humanity and the Universe, officially signed the "Interstellar Civilization Convention".

This stroke carries the weight of six thousand years of civilization.

From the first primitive man to look up at the stars to Galileo's telescope; from the small step of the Apollo moon landing to today's interstellar travel, humanity is no longer just a bystander in the universe.

With the completion of authentication and the activation of communication base stations, the human internet has officially been connected to the cosmic internet.

For the first time, human data has flowed into the ocean of interstellar civilization.

Humanity is finally able to receive information from the stars and the sea.

A vast interstellar civilization.

Flowing like a nebula, spanning millions of years of rise and fall, exploring the essence of life and the universe.

We are no longer solitary thinkers.

We finally have someone to talk to.

人类历公元3311年10月11日，地球标準时间15时30分，人类正式成为宇宙文明行列的一员。

This moment will be remembered by history.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, in the glittering embrace of the Milky Way, the solar system, Earth, this blue planet, is finally no longer alone.

A cosmic void with a diameter of two billion light-years has not stopped humanity's progress.

Our children will be born in the interstellar age.

They will no longer ask, "Do aliens exist?" as they grow up.

Instead, they asked, "Tomorrow, which race of friends should I play with?"

Tonight, gazing at the stars has a different meaning.

The Earth's night sky remains dazzling.

But tonight, when people look up, they see more than just stars.

What we see tonight are our neighbors.

is a friend.

Is the future.

For thousands of years, every individual's efforts have been meaningful.

Human civilization has officially entered a new era.
