The Supreme Commander

In the distant future, humanity has expanded its reach beyond Earth and established a galactic civilization. Interstellar travel and advanced technology have become commonplace, ushering in an era of remarkable progress and discovery. However, with the vastness of space comes the inevitable encounter with other intelligent species, some of whom prove to be hostile. "The Supreme Commander" follows the journey of Lieutenant Ethan Khane, a skilled and ambitious officer in the Earth Federation Forces. Ethan's life takes a dramatic turn when he becomes the sole survivor of a devastating ambush orchestrated by a mysterious alien civilization known as the Vortans. Severely injured, he is left in a coma for two long years. When Ethan finally awakens, he finds himself in a world vastly different from the one he remembers. Earth has become a thriving metropolis, linked seamlessly with other habitable planets through an intricate network of warp gates and space stations.

The Dawn of Fusion Energy

Six months later.

Chief Engineer Jon stood in front of the crowd, his heart pounding with excitement. The Earth Federation had been thriving in the past months, thanks to a groundbreaking discovery he had made in nuclear fusion energy. It was a momentous occasion as he prepared to unveil the culmination of years of hard work and dedication.

In the center of the room stood a massive Nuclear Fusion Reactor, a testament to the progress humanity had made in harnessing the power of the stars. The original nuclear power plants, with their inherent risks and limitations, had been dismantled, making way for this new era of clean and sustainable energy.

As Jon began his presentation, he explained the science behind nuclear fusion. He described how fusion powers the Sun and stars, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. Scientists had long dreamed of replicating this process on Earth, and now, they had achieved a breakthrough.

He recounted the recent achievement at the Research Facility of the Ninety-Fifth Fleet, where researchers had successfully reproduced the power of the sun in a laboratory using 192 lasers. This milestone sparked public excitement, as fusion energy held the promise of a future source of abundant and pollution-free energy.

The crowd listened intently as Jon explained the advantages of fusion energy. Unlike nuclear fission, which produces long-lived radioactive waste and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, fusion was a clean and emissions-free source of power. It had the potential to reduce our reliance on coal and natural gas, helping to combat climate change.

With the establishment of numerous Nuclear Fusion Reactors across the Earth Federation, the energy landscape was transformed. The reactors harnessed the power of nuclear fusion, generating vast amounts of clean energy to meet the growing demands of society. The Earth Federation was no longer dependent on fossil fuels, and the harmful effects of pollution and climate change were significantly mitigated.

As the chapter came to a close, Chief Engineer Jon looked out at the crowd, filled with hope for a brighter future. The breakthrough in nuclear fusion energy had ushered in a new era of prosperity and sustainability for the Earth Federation. With their newfound energy source, they were ready to tackle the challenges ahead and build a better world for generations to come.

Meanwhile, spaceport no.27, 1st Mixed Fleet detention room.

*pu*pu

The two guards looked at the man in front of them who just shot them with wide eyes, before finally falling unwillingly into their pool of blood.

Gregory Rothschild took two companions of the Rothschilds and came outside the detention room. They entered the code and opened the door.

"Fifth Prince, I was arranged by Commander Fisk to rescue you back to your home planet, please leave with me!"

Looking at the earthling in front of him, the Fifth Prince had doubts.

What's happening? The people in front of me are human! The Fifth Prince thought.

"Fifth Prince, I have been loyal to the Vortans since three years ago. If you have any doubts, please wear this!"

Seeing the Prince's doubts, Gregory immediately handed over the device for communicating with Commander Fisk.

Seeing this device, the Prince knew what it was and skillfully put it in his ear.

"This is the Fifth Prince!"

"Fifth Prince, this is Fisk. The earthling can be trusted. He will take you to escape. I'll rendezvous with you in the Küiper asteroid belt!"

"Okay"

Listening to what Fisk said, he felt relieved and returned the device to Gregory.

"Thank you, but for the time being, I need to be rude to His Highness and I ask you to please lie down here."

Gregory gestured towards a waste container being carried by the two men in front of him.

The Fifth Prince wasn't oblivious, to the situation. He knew he couldn't simply stroll out like that. So he swallowed his pride nodded in agreement and walked towards the container.

Once he had settled into the container and closed the lid the two men hoisted it up.

As they made their way Gregory received greetings from people along the way, while responding with a smile.

Over the past months in the 1st Mixed Fleet. He maintained a facade and built strong relationships with everyone.

Naturally, there were bound to be individuals wondering about what he was transporting. However, he had already prepared an explanation. He claimed it was a waste from the research lab that needed transportation to the dock.

A few minutes later Gregory and his team reached their destination at the dock. The two men carefully placed the container onto a transport ship.

Just as he was about to board the ship himself a voice called out from behind!

"Gregory Rothschild, where are you going carrying a waste container?"

He had already stepped onto the spaceship when he turned his head and saw that it was Chen Xue who was asking him.

"Adjutant Chen the research lab requested this to be sent to the waste incinerator to be incinerated. I don't have any information, about its contents."

Chen Xue was baffled as she observed his expression with suspicion.

Although she was very skeptical, Gregory's expression seemed genuine. So without much precaution, she walked into the transport ship to inspect the container.

Stretching out her hand to open the lid of the container, she suddenly felt a jolt of pain in the back of her neck and fainted

After knocking her out, he immediately closed the hatch of the spaceship.

"This is transport ship number NFF-609. We have completed our transport task. We need to return. Waiting for sailing approval."

"Transport ship number NFF-609, sailing approval been confirmed, you can leave the dock!"

Everything went as planned.

The transport ship will leave and return according to its mission, that's why the monitoring did not have the slightest doubt and approved.

As the engine started, the transport ship slowly left the Starport and headed towards the waste incinerator on spaceport No.15. However, after traveling a certain distance, it suddenly changed its course and flew towards the asteroid belt.
