I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 82

The Mankira galaxy is a relatively remote galaxy located in the empire. Among the galaxies included in the empire's territory, only the tisifer galaxy and the violet galaxy are farther away than her.These three outlying systems are the most sparsely populated in the Empire.

Although the Tisifer galaxy has seven planets that are very suitable for human habitation, but because it is close to the unnavigable area "Sea of ​​Silence", people are always afraid of unknown things, so the permanent population is not large.But compared to the other two galaxies, her permanent population is relatively large.

The Violet Galaxy, which has only one habitable planet, was not originally included as an administrative galaxy by the empire, but was used as a prison for serious criminals for more than 50 years.It houses the most important political prisoners of the empire, the most heinous criminals and the imprisoned royal nobles.

Although the Mankira galaxy has nearly ten habitable planets, due to its harsh natural environment, the same inhabitable population is quite small.The reason for its harsh natural environment is that there are two stars in this galaxy.The planets in the galaxy have their own orbits relative to the two stars.The Mankira galaxy is the earliest habitable galaxy discovered by humans in this star field, and it is also the galaxy that humans set foot on earlier.After more than 200 years, the various animals and plants brought to the galaxy took the lead in adapting to the life here and became more and more prosperous, while human beings did not adapt to the environment here better because of more choices, except for those The first people to settle here and stay are called the Mankira Aboriginal people.

The most important reason why the Mankira galaxy is still classified as an administrative galaxy that can enjoy rights by the empire is that it is a galaxy rich in mineral resources, and the mining work is carried out by the prisoners in the Violet Prison. .This galaxy provides mineral resources for half of the empire's new ships every year. Since this liquid metal is quite difficult to transport, the largest shipyard in the empire is built in the airspace close to the Mankira galaxy.The Mankira Shipyard supplies nearly half of the Empire's new ships every three years.

At this time, it was the year when new ships were submitted to the military every three years, and a batch of ships happened to be built at this time.The rebel army immediately occupied the dock and took 100 newly built warships as their own, including the two commander-level flagships Venus and Athena.The flagships manufactured by the Manchila Dockyard are all named after gods in ancient Greek mythology. The reason why these two important goddesses were named at this time is because the empire had only two female generals until three years ago.To commemorate the major breakthrough of women in the military, the military ordered the two flagships to be named after two important goddesses of ancient Greece.It is said that the reason why the name of the goddess Hera in Greek mythology was not used was because the military department left it to the first female marshal of the empire.Of course, this may not appear until [-] years later.

The use of new warships has made the strength of the Manchila rebels rise several steps, making it difficult to counter the rebellion.You must know that although the two large shipyards will provide [-] new warships to the Imperial Military Department every three years, [-] of them will be distributed to the front-end fortress fleet that has suffered the most wear and tear due to frequent conflicts.The First Fleet stationed in the capital galaxy will also carve up [-] of them because of its important guarding duties.The private fleets of His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Grand Duke each received [-] ships, plus those noble private fleets who searched for warships from all sides, the total number of new warships assigned to the remaining eleven warships of the Space Fleet will not exceed [-].

Therefore, after the initial complaints, the officers of the Seventh Fleet, large and small, who received the counter-insurgency mission began an emergency meeting.They had just finished their one-year patrol mission in the fierce battle area, and they were planning to return to the capital star for a change of defense after a short stay at the front fortress. Unexpectedly, the task book for countering the rebellion had already arrived before reaching the front fortress.

This made the non-commissioned officers who hadn't come home for a year quite frustrating.

Although the military meeting lasted all night, Lin Zi, who had just arrived at the front fortress with the flagship, didn't feel much fatigue, he was even a little excited, which made him consciously straighten his body when he stepped off the space shuttle.

He is 27 years old this year. At this age, most soldiers are still fighting for the rank of lieutenant, but he has already been the chief staff officer of the Seventh Fleet to lieutenant colonel.

The smooth sailing of his military career did not satisfy Lin Zi, on the contrary, he always had a kind of regret in his heart. At the age of 20, he graduated from the Delacand Naval Academy. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant after entering the army because he won the military academy competition for three consecutive times.It is quite fast to advance to three military ranks in six years, but there will always be a mountain in front of him, and that is Lin Mo.At Lin Zi's current age, Lin Mo has already experienced four or five real airspace battles. The youngest major general in the empire really relied on military merits to become a general.Such a military rank is obviously more convincing than relying on accumulating small credits or staying alive.

Lin Mo is the idol of the young soldiers of the empire, and also the goal they hope to surpass, and Lin Zi is also one of them.The eldest brother is the person he most admires and fears the most, and in this respect even more so than his father, General Lin Yuanzhe, whose memory has gradually faded.

It took nearly an hour for the entire fleet to enter the military port. Lin Zi took advantage of this time to walk into a small coffee shop inside the military port. Since it was a weekday, there were not many customers in the coffee shop. He chose a place near the window. position, walked over and sat down, watching the orderly queue of soldiers walking down from the space shuttle.

The coffee shop inside the military port is obviously like that. Lin Zi picked up the coffee and took a sip before putting down the cup. He was bathed in the spring sunshine pouring down through the glass window, leaning on the sofa and looking out the window, feeling tired at this moment. began to emerge slowly.After finishing the emergency meeting in the early hours of the morning, he contacted Lin Mo specifically, hoping that his elder brother could give him some advice.During the period when he was stationed with the Seventh Fleet in the fierce battle area, he rarely contacted the imperial capital because of the strong electromagnetic interference in the fierce battle area. In the past year, he and Lin Mo only met two or three times through the communicator.Unexpectedly, the always serious elder brother would say "be careful in everything" to him. He thought Lin Mo would give him a warning without favoritism as before.

There is a faint smell of creamer floating in the air. It is not a high-end product, and it is very different from the high-end products from the Vega galaxy in the famous cafes in the imperial capital.But Lin Zi couldn't feel the taste that should have been boring. At this moment, when he thought of the communication from his father's adjutant before disembarking from the space shuttle, he felt a little scared for a while.He and his father have not seen each other for many years, from the initial dependence and admiration to the later disappointment and anger to the final numbness and oblivion, if not occasionally hearing the name of the commander stationed in the front fortress at the military meeting, Lin Zi would feel that he had forgotten that besides the commander of the fortress, the man who also had the title of his father was also.

On such a cold morning, feeling the increasing warmth of the rising sun, Lin Zi fell into memories that he hadn't had for many years.

The first time I saw my eldest brother Lin Mo, whom I only heard about from my parents, was when he was seven years old. Before that, he was the eldest child in the family, and his younger sister Lin Hong was only five years old.In the minds of young children, the elder brother who is occasionally mentioned is no different from the people in biographical novels, they are all illusory characters.He always thought that Lin Hong was the only one of his compatriots in this world. Of course, when he heard about Lin Mo, he had secretly looked forward to this brother who had never met before, but this kind of emotion obviously came quickly. disappeared without a trace.It wasn't until Lin Mo really stood in front of him, looking down at him, that he discovered in horror that this person really broke into the world that originally belonged to him and Lin Hong.

Compared with the obvious hostility from his younger sister Lin Hong, Lin Zi just observed cautiously. The excellent genes of a military family made him know how to measure his own gains and losses when other children knew how to play.After discovering that his father's expectations and his mother's gentleness had obviously shifted their targets, Lin Zi, who was still young, felt quite angry.

Since he was a child, he was treated as the son of Lin's eldest son. Although he was not as lawless and domineering as the children of other noble families in the imperial capital, he was always proud in his bones when he was treated with envy or flattery by outsiders.And all of this was suddenly divided by the sudden appearance of Lin Mo. This sudden sense of frustration made him feel almost hatred towards Lin Mo uncontrollably.

After occasionally hearing his father tell his mother about Lin Mo's fear of the dark, Lin Zi felt another emotion towards Lin Mo, which was contempt.His elder brother who was five years older was actually afraid of the darkness of the night. How could such a person be worthy of being his elder brother, how could he be worthy of accepting the envy of others with the aura of the family.

So Lin Zi, who was still seven years old at that time, was always looking for an opportunity to teach Lin Mo a lesson, and finally one day he found an opportunity.In the evening, when his parents went to the palace to attend a banquet, Lin Zi locked the door of Lin Mo's room from the outside after sending away the housekeeper and servants at home. Every room in Lin's house has a password lock function, but it is not commonly used on weekdays.It is impossible for Lin Mo, who has lived in an alien system with relatively backward technological and living conditions all year round, to crack this combination lock, so he cannot open it from indoors.

After silently locking Lin Mo's door, Lin Zi cut off the power supply at home. This is easier to do. The large houses of the nobles in the imperial capital all build their own power generation devices. Lin Zi only needs to turn off the power generation device. The entire forest house was plunged into darkness.

Almost in an instant, Lin Zi, who was standing outside Lin Mo's door, saw from the infrared detector on the toy gun that the "object" emitting heat in the house began to move rapidly. From the infrared detector, one could only see Seeing a group of green light spots, Lin Zi watched the group of light spots move irregularly, looking so anxious. After trying all the places in the room that could go out, they could not be opened, the light spots curled up in a corner, not moving.

Satisfied, Lin Zi decided to let Lin Mo stay in this situation for a while, so he went back to his room and decided to release Lin Mo an hour later before his parents came back.He wasn't worried about his parents' punishment after they found out, because although Lin Mo hated him, he never spoke ill of his younger siblings in front of his parents, even though he and his younger sister had teased Lin Mo many times.

But what I didn't expect was that after returning to the room, Lin Zi quickly forgot Lin Mo. After the excitement passed, he soon fell asleep, and it was not until early in the morning when his parents returned home that they found out that they were still locked in the room. Lin Mo in the room.

Lin Zi was severely beaten up by the furious Lin Yuanzhe, while Lin Mo who was released stood silently and watched from a distance, expressionless, but a little pale.

In retrospect, after that incident, Lin Mo, who occasionally smiled shyly at his younger siblings, never smiled at them again.A person who was originally very quiet has become taciturn since then.

Later, the birth of Lin Jian, the death of his mother, and the departure of his father brought great changes in the lives of Lin Zi and his younger sister.Difficulties always make people grow up quickly. The 14-year-old Lin Mo, the elder brother who was teased by him and looked down upon by him, became his reliance.

In the past 18 years, Lin Mo has entered Lin Zi's life little by little. Lin Zi saw how hard the young and slender young man used to climb to a high position step by step. They all said that he was not complacent when he was young. At thirty, he became a general of the empire. It was said that he was lucky enough to win an important battle, and that he was born into a family that made his official career smooth.

However, how did they know that Lin Mo, who had just graduated from school and was under 19 years old, was desolate at home before he went out to fight. Lin Zi was only 13 years old at that time. If you don't come, you have to take on the responsibility of your elder brother and take care of Lin Hong and Lin Jian."

Every time Lin Zi thinks of this matter, Lin Zi can't help but think about what the fate of the three of them would have been if Lin Mo hadn't come back at that time. Every time he thought of this, he would tremble. Growing up, although each has formed a different character, but after all, they are free from the pain of displacement.

The sound of the communicator on his wrist interrupted Lin Zi's drowsy memories. He woke up with a start, and frowned tightly when he saw the communication number.After signaling to the waiter to bring the communication screen, Lin Zi connected the call from his father's adjutant.

"I'm sorry, Admiral Hughes asked us not to leave the military port without permission. The whole team will be reorganized in an hour, so we can't go to see my father."

Turning off the communicator, Lin Zi, who always had a smile on his face, frowned tightly, his eyes were full of alienation. Since he was nine years old, he has no parents, only his elder brother.
