Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

"For humanity!"

Zhang Beihai changed into the space force combat uniform, quickly walked through the dock corridor, and entered the interior of the "Natural Selection".

Beside him, teams of hibernators dressed similarly to him also passed through the dock corridor and entered their own ships.

As Chang Weisi said before, the hibernator formation was arranged at the outermost side of the fleet, so those passing through this side of the dock were almost all space force soldiers who were planned to reinforce the future.

Zhang Beihai knew some of these people, but they had obviously entered hibernation a few batches later than him, so their appearance was slightly different from what he remembered.

Zhang Beihai was not very familiar with Chu Yan, but he had heard of this person.

As a member of the third batch of reinforcements for the future plan, he entered hibernation about five years later than Zhang Beihai. Zhang Beihai heard that he is now the captain of the "Blue Space", and is only half a level lower than himself in military rank.

Li Wei: The commander-in-chief of the main gun of the Wannian Kunpeng. Zhang Beihai remembers this guy. Before hibernation, his military rank was very low, but later because of his outstanding performance in training, he was promoted all the way to his current position.

Zhao Xin: A senior technician of the Beifang’s radar detection system. Like Li Wei, he was specially promoted after hibernation because of his outstanding performance.

In addition to these hibernators, Zhang Beihai has actually had a lot of dealings with some immortals from the later era in the three major fleets.

For example, Captain Neil Scott of the Bronze Age.

Zhang Beihai had negotiated with him several times during training. It must be said that this person's psychological quality was higher than any space force soldier Zhang Beihai had ever seen, and his views on some issues were also similar to Zhang Beihai's in many ways.

After arriving at the Natural Selection, I saw a woman head-on.

"I am Dongfang Yanxu, the captain of the Natural Selection."

"Zhang Beihai."

Zhang Beihai shook hands with Dongfang Yanxu politely, but the other party handed Zhang Beihai a pistol.

"Senior, this is a gift I give you on behalf of all the officers and soldiers on the ship." Dongfang Yanxu raised his eyebrows.

"If you find out that I'm a defeatist or a steel seal, you can kill me with this gun if I try to escape."

"No need." Zhang Beihai rejected her kindness.

Dongfang Yanxu seemed to be a little disappointed with Zhang Beihai's boredom. He turned around and walked into the Natural Selection.

"Well, senior, I will now begin to teach you formally. If there is anything you don't understand during this period, you can interrupt me at any time to ask questions."

"it is good."

Zhang Beihai nodded slightly.

"Don't be nervous, senior. In fact, if you understand how this ship operates, you will know that the launch of the ship alone has eliminated the possibility of the Steel Seal Clan interfering."

As she spoke, she called up the ship's operating interface.

“Can you understand this part?”

"Yes, I learned it during training."

"great."

Dongfang Yanxu smiled.

"Actually, you don't need to understand too much. Normally, moving towards any coordinates in the star map is not allowed."

"For example, if I were a member of the Steel Seal Clan and I wanted to control the spaceship to escape, the result would be like this..."

As she spoke, she began to demonstrate, but soon, Zhang Beihai discovered that Dongfang's operation was directly rejected.

"Look, all decisions require your approval or permission. You are now the executive captain of this ship."

As Dongfang Yanxu spoke, he called up a simple control interface. Zhang Beihai was very familiar with this interface. During previous training, he had already memorized its operating methods.

"It seems that there are no specific parameters here, but we can see the situation of the ship at a macro level."

Dongfang Yanxu shook his head upon hearing this.

"It's not as complicated as you might think. The specific detailed parameters will be handled by officers at all levels. As the brain of the entire fleet, we only need to say yes or no at the key points."

"Then... the Steel Seal Clan has no solution at all?" Zhang Beihai asked.

"It's not that there is absolutely no way, but this operation is almost impossible. The solution I give is to let the Natural Selection directly enter Forward Four!"

"But I heard that the Navigator will be located in front of the fleet, although this battleship does not carry any weapons."

"But its volume is larger than the total volume of five star-class battleships combined. If I really want to control the Natural Selection to escape, it might crash into the Navigator as soon as it accelerates."

"Moreover, this operation is not allowed, not only for me, but also for you." Dongfang Yanxu said.

"Because the ship's operating system will only allow you to enter forward four when it detects that all personnel on board are in deep sea."

Dongfang continued to smile.

"Of course, I have a way to bypass this detection, and you should have thought of it."

"Remote control status!"

"I see." Zhang Beihai nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"Then let me try it out and see if it works."

As Zhang Beihai spoke, he clicked on an interface in front of him and tried to put the entire ship into remote control mode.

In between operations, Zhang Beihai would occasionally take out a small notebook to record the entire process.

"Now there is a better way to record, senior." Dongfang Yanxu said with a smile as he looked at the small notebook in Zhang Beihai's hand.

"It's just a personal habit. I always feel more at ease if I write down important things this way."

"This is not an important matter. You probably won't be able to use this operation. It was originally designed because we were worried that Sophon would interfere with the operating system. After we win this war, this operation will be abolished.

"Dongfang, what do you think our chances of winning are?" Zhang Beihai suddenly asked.

"This is not something I need to worry about. As a space soldier, I only need to follow the orders of my superior command. Besides, I plan to resign after a while."

“Because of the censorship?”

Dongfang Yanxu did not answer this question directly, but Zhang Beihai had probably guessed it from her somewhat angry words.

"Dongfang, there is no need to think so much. We have often been subject to such scrutiny in the past. This is our duty as soldiers," said Zhang Hokkaido.

"I've discovered that you hibernators are really different from people of our generation. It seems that in your eyes, we are always just children. I remember one time, a six or seven-year-old child actually called me a child."

Zhang Beihai couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"You look very happy, but why do you never smile... Are we really just children in your eyes?" Dongfang Yanxu frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand the question.

"I just feel like you're a little like my daughter."

"Your daughter?" Dongfang Yanxu was a little surprised.

"Didn't she come with you? I remember that as family members, they also have the right to hibernation and eternal life."

"Yes, but she, my wife... and our other child all refused. I only met my daughter. I received the order from the task force before my youngest son was born."

"Although they will have the opportunity to receive three hundred years of eternal life, you know that the future at that time will be almost dark..."

"Understand... then what happened?"

"They lived a happy life at the Red Coast Base. This is the only thing that makes me feel relieved."

"Do you know the monitor Lin Xuan?"

Zhang Beihai nodded slightly. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of his first meeting with Lin Xuan.

That meeting was also the first time that Lin Xuan took out the potion of immortality. No one cared at the time, including himself. After all, extending one's lifespan by a thousand years simply sounded magical.

But now it seems that Lin Xuan is indeed a little unusual.

"Perhaps your wife and children made the most correct choice. I didn't inject that stuff. I just want to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. If a person lives too long, he will have too many troubles." Dongfang Yanxu said.

"It's not bad. Everyone has to have their own way of living. A longer life also means we can do more things." Zhang Hokkaido said.

"Your tone is exactly the same as my father's, senior." Dongfang Yanxu said.

"Did your father always teach you this?"

Zhang Beihai was stunned. Somehow, his father's words suddenly rang in his ears.

"Think more."

I was just a child at that time and could not understand the meaning of my father's words, but my father had already told me the answer. The meaning of these three words could not be expressed in 30,000 words.

"Beihai, you need to think more!"

"What about later?"

"Beihai, I can only tell you to think more than before."

Zhang Beihai took a deep breath.

"Dad, we think the same thing. This is my luck. I won't bring you glory, but I will give you peace of mind."

The captain's handover of authority began soon. More than 5,000 star-class battleships were arranged in ten square formations under command. In order to deal with the upcoming ten Trisolaran probes, they needed to conduct a joint military exercise first. This could be regarded as the first military parade of the Space Force.

Zhang Beihai looked at Dongfang Yanxu behind him.

"Password."

"Men remember love only because of romance." Dongfang Yanxu slowly said the password, which is the English meaning of the legendary Marlboro.

"You don't seem to smoke?"

"Yes, after all, this brand disappeared during the Great Depression."

"That's good. After all, not many people knew this password in my time."

Zhang Beihai was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"Dongfang, there are some things I still need to tell you in advance. If one day I have to kill you, please forgive me."

Dongfang Yanxu smiled, she looked very beautiful when she smiled.

"Why, do you really think I might be a member of the Steel Seal Clan? Then you can just kill me when the time comes, using the gun I gave you."

After Dongfang Yanxu completed the captain's handover procedures, he turned and left.

After waiting for about five minutes, Zhang Beihai finally completed resetting the password.

"Why does it take so long?" Levin, the deputy captain of the Natural Selection, said dissatisfiedly.

Inoue Akira, who was also the deputy captain, also took over the conversation.

"If you are enjoying the pleasure of getting the Natural Selection, then I have to remind you that the review will be over soon. Colonel Dongfang is still the captain of this warship. You are just a firewall... Wait, what are you doing!"

When everyone heard this, they turned around and found that Zhang Beihai had already set the warship to remote control mode. In this state, there was no need for personnel inspection.

The communication system was cut off at some point.

Finally, all procedures have been completed, and only one more button needs to be pressed, and the Natural Selection will reach its maximum speed and head for the predetermined target.

"stop!"

However, it was too late.

"Everyone, the Natural Selection is about to enter the deep sea state!" Zhang Beihai's voice sounded particularly firm!

"No, that's impossible!"

"Are you from the Steel Seal Tribe?" Dongfang Yanxu's brain was working rapidly, and she tried to calm herself down.

"You know I can't be!"

"ETO?"

"Not at all."

"I'll explain it to you after the acceleration is completed. I'll say it again, the entire ship has entered deep sea status!"

Zhang Beihai turned around slowly. He didn't look at the two deputy captains, but looked directly at Dongfang Yanxu.

"Dongfang, I said, if one day I have to kill you, please forgive me."

The moment Zhang Beihai finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded on the Natural Selection.

Zhang Beihai was stunned. He had clearly cut off all communications. Could it be that someone had reported the situation here?

"The alarm came from the headquarters and was sent to all fleets!" Dongfang Yanxu explained quickly.

"This is a Level 1 alarm. Connect the communication. Something must have happened at the Fleet Headquarters!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beihai quickly connected the communication. Immediately, the voice of a representative from the three major fleets was heard throughout the ship's communication frequency band.

"Chang Weisi and the Navigator have defected from the fleet. Request the fleet to pursue them immediately. I repeat, pursue them immediately!"
