Shi Lang enjoyed the massage like sensation on his body after such a long ti, and Alia sat calmly, she found this feeling to be familiar and unfamiliar at the sa ti. After all, this body was new to this space travel. The disciples on the side though, they had pale faces, and apart from Hao i, the rest looked like they were going to puke their innards out.
So of them were thinking, 'No wonder Hall Master is such a monster, he suffered this in his youth? Damn you master, if my heart is squeezed, I will co back to haunt you.'
The feeling lasted only for a few minutes, before they found themselves relaxing and before their eyes lay a red planet. Shi Lang opened his eyes and undid the seat belt as he said, "To think they can travel millions of light years in a few minutes now."
Alia also stood up, a little wobbly, Shi Lang embraced her and the lady said, "Indeed, we can never move this far even with the space laws. How can they do it? The galaxy is revolving and not fixed."
The disciples listened to the conversation of the two. They had knowledge of advanced mathematics, and physics. Shi Tao integrated that knowledge in their courses and they were all very smart.
Shi Lang suddenly smiled and said, "It all has to do with the gravity. I am sure they are no longer relying on spatial coordinates but gravitational coordinates to lock on to targets and lock on to them even as they revolve or rotate. Look outside, Ares is moving at a higher speed, yet now the view from the window is the sa, but the surroundings are changing. We are in a lock with Ares and moving along with it."
Alia nodded in understanding, and Captain Mariel stepped out of the cockpit and said, "Sir, we will be docking in a few minutes, please co with to the Hatch Door."
Shi Lang nodded and he looked at Alia as he asked, "I wonder if I should change into my old uniform?"
Alia smacked his shoulder and said, "You have long retired, almost a thousand years now, why do you want to flex it to the people?"
Shi Lang chuckled, and Captain Mariel replied, "Ma'am, if Supre General wears his uniform, it will inject a wave of adrenaline in the hearts of us all. However, I think that only a few would be able to recognize that uniform."
Alia smiled and Shi Lang said, "Forget it, Captain, my ti in the service has long been forgotten as it should be. Let's go, I can hardly wait to get things processed and get back ho to eat Kaizi Ran, I wonder if they are operating, damn it I am afraid that I might release my ti seal."
Hao i grabbed his hand and said softly, "Baba, don't get agitated, if you released even a sliver of ti force, it would be a disaster for this plain."
The Terran nodded and under the watchful gaze of his wife and disciples they moved to the hatch door. The ship moved smoothly to the docking station, but sensing the surroundings, Shi Lang could tell that they have docked on the station on the planet surface instead of the one outside.
The hatch opened and a familiar dusky skyline was unveiled to Shi Lang. The terran subconsciously held Alia's palm as he took a few steps forward before stopping and looking at Mariel who smiled and said with a bow, "Welco ho, General."
Shi Lang understood her intentions, she wanted him to go ahead first. He nodded with a thanks and stepped out of the hatch, to see a huge number of soldiers standing in a neat formation. Before them stood many high ranking officers and Shi Lang looked at the stars on their shoulders and monograms on their lapels to discern their ranks.
He found that the man standing right before him was the Fleet General. The man stood up straight with his back and saluted Shi Lang, before he said, "Welco Ho, Supre General Shi Lang, Sir!"
The surrounding soldiers all saluted Shi Lang and they yelled, "Welco ho, Sir!"
Shi Lang has been addressed by many people and honored by many as well, but for whenever the soldiers saluted him, he felt a goosebump run across his body. He shivered with an emotion that he could not express. He walked up to the Fleet General and saluted him, before he turned to his left and right to salute all the soldiers and said, "Thank you for holding the fort. Thank you for keeping ho safe. Thank you for your hard work. It is good to be back, brothers and sisters."
The people cheered, but suddenly Shi Lang said, "Wait, I am around a thousand years old now, how are you going to be my brothers and sisters?"
The soldiers were stunned for a minute before they exploded in laughter. Shi Lang also laughed and then he looked at the Fleet General, "General, I have brought my disciples with , I would like to obtain a visitor's identity for them."
The general replied, "Yes, I will get it done, Sir. The general council would like to et you and General Knight."
Shi Lang winced and said, "Well, I was trying to avoid this official stuff. I only have a month to stay before I should head back and I wanted to go and explore the Federation."
The Fleet General replied, "Sir, I understand, but if you could only give the council a day of your ti, we would gain a lot from your wisdom. After that, I promise to personally be your guide. You will be shocked to see how much the federation has changed."
Shi Lang sighed and said, "Fine, but after a day, and my wife would like to travel, while my disciples will train under the military for a month, extensively."
The Fleet General agreed and Shi Lang said, "ii, co here, my dear."
Hao i stepped up and the people were stunned by her graceful beauty, Shi Lang said, "Share the alchemical knowledge with them and also learn advanced dicinal procedures. You will handle the negotiation for trading the dical pods with spirit stones."
Hao i nodded and said, "Understood Baba."
Shi Lang then looked at the rest, "Jing Tong, you will assist i, and the rest of you lot, form small teams of four. You will learn chatronics, and weapon manufacture with Xiao Yu, exchange the knowledge of refining with them.
Xiao ng, love, your team will learn formations, and scouting techniques, okay?"
The disciples nodded and the arrangents were made. Shi Lang then headed inside the Ares base to get through the formalities.
