Xia Chujian couldn't understand at all, but she knew Meng Guanghui was explaining why she couldn't see anything right now.
She said regretfully, "How long will it take?"
Before she finished speaking, the scenery on the dark green view screen became clear again.
She saw thousands of glittering stars shining in the night sky, feeling especially close, as if she could pluck a star with just a reach of her hand.
Xia Chujian was in awe and said, "This is… out of the wormhole? It feels like the starry sky here is so different from Guiyuan Star."
Meng Guanghui looked at the itinerary and said, "We're out. This wormhole is a small wormhole, the distance of the space jump is shorter, but even if it's short, it's still a distance calculated in light-years, saving us at least several months."
Xia Chujian: "..."
"This is too far!" This was the first time she had a direct understanding of interstellar travel.
...
After this first space jump, the remaining five were nothing new to Xia Chujian.
She opened her Quantum Optical Brain and began to catch up on the Star Network web novels she had been following before her Aunt woke up.
Of course, they were all downloaded to the local system, so she could read them without a network connection.
She read for six hours straight, slept for ten hours in between, and ate for two hours. Eighteen hours had already passed.
Meng Guanghui said, "Kanli Star is here. Take a look outside, is it any different from Guiyuan Star?"
It was daytime on Kanli Star when they arrived.
But they were still outside the atmosphere at this time, so Xia Chujian could clearly see that there were two moons, one large and one small, in the sky of Kanli Star.
The starry sky here seemed more vast and distant than the starry sky of Guiyuan Star.
And the two moons, one large and one small, were rounder and brighter than the moon of Guiyuan Star.
Xia Chujian was surprised: "Why are there two moons here?!"
Meng Guanghui's mouth twitched: "Because Kanli Star is bigger, so it has two moons as satellites."
Actually, he was making it up. He didn't know why, but Kanli Star was indeed much larger than Guiyuan Star.
One Kanli Star was about twice the size of Guiyuan Star.
Xia Chujian quickly realized this, because she was looking at the map.
Previously, Su Buyan had given Wu Fu a set of smart jigsaw puzzles of the Five Great Planets. The game came with a smart software that introduced the geographical common sense of the Five Great Planets.
Xia Chujian also installed a copy on her Quantum Optical Brain, and it came in handy now.
While looking at it, she asked, "Kanli Star is so big, but why is the gravity system similar to Guiyuan Star?"
Meng Guanghui: "..."
He wasn't an astronomer or geographer, why was she asking him? Xia Chujian recalled the content of her physics textbook and explained herself: "Because gravity is directly related to mass, although Kanli Star is twice as big as Guiyuan Star, the density of Kanli Star is much smaller than Guiyuan Star. And mass is the product of density and volume, so the total mass of Kanli Star is similar to that of Guiyuan Star, so the gravity is also similar."
A hint of sweat appeared on Meng Guanghui's forehead.
Damn it, as expected of a top student (scum) who just finished the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, she remembers so clearly.
But the dignity of a leader could not be lost.
He put on a straight face and said seriously: "Xia Chujian, it's good that you're so eager to learn, but you can't put the cart before the horse. You're here to learn the flying techniques of Ground Fighters, Starry Sky Fighters, and Interstellar Warships at the Flying Base, you need to put more effort into that."
Xia Chujian gave him a strange look and said, "Chief, this knowledge of gravity is of course related to flying... If you don't understand these, how can you understand the performance indexes of those fighters, spaceships, and Interstellar Warships?"
Meng Guanghui: "!!!"
He could also fly fighters, Interstellar Spaceships, and Interstellar Warships, but he had never thought about this question! So he knew what it was, but not why it was?
Thinking about it this way, Xia Chujian's weight as a "top student" in his heart increased a bit.
Meng Guanghui also had an unspeakable admiration for top students.
Therefore, his attitude towards Xia Chujian instantly improved a lot, and he didn't even want to put on the airs of a leader.
But after all, she was a formal member of the Special Security Bureau, and also a member of the military, so it was still important to follow orders and prohibitions.
Meng Guanghui softened his tone and said with a smile: "It's best that you can think like this, Chujian. But after entering the Flying Base, just carefully learn the operations of those meritorious pilots of all levels who teach you to fly. As for those particularly profound theoretical knowledge, don't ask about it, sort it out, study it yourself when you get back, or ask..."
He almost blurted out "Ask me," but then he thought, what profound theoretical knowledge did he have? So, naturally, he said, "Ask Marshal Huo."
Xia Chujian became interested at this point, asking curiously, "Marshal Huo? Is that Inspector Huo? Is his rank really Marshal?!"
Meng Guanghui felt exhausted.
So, someone opens a back door for you, gets you into the Special Security Bureau with an official position before you even graduate high school, and you don't even know their rank? But not knowing is fine, he could take the opportunity to educate her! Meng Guanghui perked up, and while he and Xia Chujian packed their things to get off the spaceship, he said, "Of course it's Marshal, would that be a lie?"
"But he doesn't look that old, is he already seventy or eighty but just good at maintaining his youth?" Xia Chujian muttered to herself.
Meng Guanghui: "!!!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Marshal Huo be seventy or eighty? Who did you hear that from?" Meng Guanghui's good mood vanished, and he glared at Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian said nonchalantly, "Well, he's a Marshal, aren't they all seventy or eighty?"
"Most Marshals are, but a few aren't. Marshal Huo is one of those exceptionally gifted few!" Meng Guanghui said seriously, "Marshal Huo is still a few months away from turning twenty-nine, don't spread rumors."
Xia Chujian spoke frankly, "Twenty-nine years old is still old."
Meng Guanghui was about to explode: "How is twenty-nine old?! Besides, it hasn't even happened yet! That's the prime of youth! The bloom of youth, understand?!"
He, Meng Guanghui, was already thirty years old this year. If twenty-nine was considered old, then what was he at thirty, ready to be buried? He still thought of himself as a baby! Xia Chujian said, "I just turned eighteen and I already feel old. Marshal Huo, even if he's twenty-eight, is ten years older than me, doesn't that count as old?"
Meng Guanghui: "..."
His eyes twitched wildly, and he said, "Using yourself as the standard is fine, you're young, but you can't say twenty-eight or twenty-nine is old. Get it straight, the country's definition of youth is forty-nine years old! Only after forty-nine is it called middle age, understand?"
Xia Chujian frowned and said, "Ah? Then I have to wait another thirty years to reach middle age? That's too long..."
Meng Guanghui shut down and didn't want to talk anymore.
Xia Chujian finished packing the seasonings, turned to look at Meng Guanghui, and said, "Chief, you haven't told me how Marshal Huo became a Marshal at twenty-nine?"
Meng Guanghui glared at her, and although he was unhappy, he still tried to enlighten her: "Marshal Huo was awarded the rank of Marshal at twenty-seven, but after he was awarded the rank, he was transferred from the front-line troops of the Interstellar Legion to the Special Security Bureau as the top Inspector."
"Awarded the rank of Marshal at twenty-seven? How many years has he been in the army? Did he make some great contribution? Or does he have a distinguished family background?"
"Marshal Huo is a genius, do you know that!" Meng Guanghui got excited at this point, "He comes from a common background, he's not relying on his family at all, but on himself!"
"He took the National Higher Education Entrance Examination at the age of twelve, and was admitted to the Imperial Royal First Military University's Star Destroyer Command major with the highest score in the country! He completed his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in a continuous five-year program, and joined the army at the age of seventeen, becoming a Captain commander in the Imperial Fifth Interstellar Fleet."
"Three years later, when Marshal Huo was twenty years old, he turned the Empire's weakest Fifth Interstellar Fleet into the Empire's strongest fleet! In an Annihilation War with the Southern Cross Star Kingdom, as the acting commander-in-chief, he annihilated the opponent's three major fleets! Killing the Southern Cross Star Kingdom's highest military commander! That year, his rank was promoted from Captain to Colonel by His Majesty!"
"Do you know that?! When Marshal Huo led everyone to defeat the Southern Cross Star Kingdom, our Beichen Empire hadn't won a battle in over a hundred years!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She knew that much, otherwise how could the Beichen Empire only have five planets left...
But she didn't know that the first victory was brought about by Huo Yushen.
Meng Guanghui was still excited: "Four years later, when Marshal Huo was twenty-four years old, the Southern Cross Star Kingdom attacked again. This time, they brought six newly built Interstellar Fleets, twice the size of the previous ones!"
"Moreover, we had an internal traitor who betrayed the location of Marshal Huo's flagship!"
"At that time, Marshal Huo's flagship, which was also the main ship of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, was besieged by more than sixty Interstellar Fighters, Cruisers, and Battleships of various sizes. Can you imagine that scene?!"
"At that time, all our escort ships were destroyed by the enemy, and the main ship was also scarred and about to be penetrated! The entire Interstellar Fleet was only left with Marshal Huo, me, and Shan Xing. We were all prepared to die together with the enemy!"
"But guess what? At the last moment when we were about to be completely annihilated, Marshal Huo made a decisive decision, planned and strategized, and formulated an earth-shattering battle plan!"
"He used himself as bait to lure the enemy to the edge of a Super Miniature Black Hole, and then played a risky, near-miss technique!"
"The enemy's sixty-plus Interstellar Warships couldn't avoid it and were all sucked into the black hole!"
"Then Marshal Huo resolutely launched all of our ammunition reserves at that Super Miniature Black Hole, collapsing the black hole!"
"Can you imagine the spectacular sight after a black hole is destroyed?!"
"Even if it's a Super Miniature Black Hole, it's still a genuine black hole!"
"A black hole's powerful gravitational field can devour everything, even light cannot escape!"
"And when a black hole collapses, all the surrounding space will be distorted and deformed."
"The matter around the black hole will rotate at high speed and then merge into the black hole's domain, forming a dark Ring Interface, like a bottomless vortex at the bottom of the sea, suddenly appearing in the vast starry sky!"
"This Ring Interface is the boundary of the black hole's collapse, and it will attract all matter that approaches it!"
"Marshal Huo led us, just brushing past the edge of that Ring Interface, and we weren't sucked away by the spatial distortion caused by the black hole collapse."
"But those fleets from the Southern Cross Star Kingdom didn't have Marshal Huo's superb piloting skills!"
"The black hole collapse triggered huge gravitational ripples, and the light of the stars was stretched into strange shapes. I will never forget that extremely distorted, yet seemingly harmonious scene in my life!"
"In the vicinity of the black hole collapse, time seemed to slow down as well. In front of the Ring Interface, a strong radiation belt formed, producing intense ray radiation. It was simply a radiant halo of death!"
