The vast universe was dotted with countless stars, like a lonely and expansive painting...

　　The countless desolate planets all over the sky illustrated the preciousness of life...

　　In the infinite universe, in a corner of peace, a crystal-clear blue planet was set in the pitch-black and lifeless universe, adding a unique charm to the lone universe!

　　The moon, like a weather-beaten watcher, silently witnessed the occurrence of “miracles” on this planet.

　　This blue planet was named the Earth. It was a magical planet in the vast universe and also a planet of infinite potentials...

　　All of a sudden!

　　In the gloomy void, an abnormal movement sprang up!

　　The void kept distorting, as if something was breaking the tranquil water, with ripples constantly spreading through the air! At the centre of the ripples, a black dot pierced through the void, and a metal tip protruded through the air, which was extremely eerie! The surrounding void distorted and dissipated, just like being burnt away by raging flames...

　　Soon, a spacecraft emerged through the air and revealed its true appearance. It had an earthy-yellow hull, a slender neck, and at the front end was a cockpit covered by golden-yellow glass. From a distance, it looked like a three-winged yellow swan with golden warts.

　　There are two iron pillars at the beak, extending out from cockpit. Three huge earthy-yellow wings were distributed on both sides and at the back of the spacecraft, and the giant wings were all covered with photovoltaic panels for absorbing solar energy. In the centre of the hull was printed a logo of a white loong’s head, and beside it saw the characters “Swan------Earth Alliance Mars Base Academy”.

　　At the tail of the bird-like spacecraft were a pair of large thrusters. The moment the spacecraft emerged from the void, the thrusters burst out with blue flames with a whoosh!

　　The spaceship or spacecraft was speed up, soaring towards the earth...

　　......

　　The autopilot spacecraft travelled through the void of the universe.

　　Inside the hull, it was desolate and gloomy. The ceiling lights were flickering rhythmically as if they were breathing...

　　In the quiet and mysterious atmosphere, it made people feel uneasy...

　　Under the dim ceiling lights, numerous capsule compartments were neatly arranged!

　　Through the flickering lights, one could see that inside these neatly arranged capsule compartments, which were three meters long and two meters wide, were filled with something similar to bule jelly, and it was impossible to make out what else was inside the jelly.

　　Suddenly, all the surrounding lights were on, and the top speaker popped out, playing inspiring ancient-style music. In the music, there was a voice singing loudly, “The greatest hero serves the country and the people. Those who uphold righteousness are benevolent and trustworthy. Where is the home when the country is destroyed? There are no intact eggs when the nest is overturned. One should not yield to force, nor retreat in the face of a powerful enemy...”

　　Against the backdrop of the inspiring and passionate music, a mechanical female voice rang out, “The warp jump is completed. The decompression chambers will open in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight...one!”

　　As the countdown ended, the transparent lids of those capsules opened one after another.

　　Young men and women were lift out of the blue jelly by the lifting platforms. They were all wearing white uniforms and had breathing masks on their faces. Through the transparent breathing masks, one the saw that there were tubes inserted into their mouths, ears, and nostrils, and the soft tubes were constantly sucking out the blue jelly-liked liquid...

　　After the liquid was drained, the mechanical female voice said, “The decompression liquid has been completely drained. The passengers will wake up within one minute.”

　　It turned out that this blue jelly-liked gel liquid was a kind of decompression liquid used for curvature warp jump! It could enable the human body to withstand the powerful high pressure during the warp jump of the spacecraft...

　　Sure enough, a minute later, the young people on the platforms woke up one after another. Most of them were around sixteen or seventeen years old, still with a childish look on their faces.

　　They sat up, tidied themselves up a bit, and then jumped down from the decompression chambers one by one...

　　As soon as they landed on the floor, the decompression chambers behind them quickly rotated and retracted into the floor. At the same time, a row of seats at the back flipped out, allowing the teenagers who were still a bit unaccustomed to sit down and take a rest...

　　“Welcome to the Swan, a manned spaceship. This spaceship...

　　A friendly female voice came from the broadcast, which was much nicer than the stiff and cold mechanical female voice before.

　　After the young passengers on the Swan spacecraft got rid of the discomfort caused by warp jump, they curiously walked to the portholes of the spacecraft and looked out. Through the windows, these young passengers looked into the distance at the blue planet and the giant steel loong hovering near the planet and guarding it! Their still somewhat childish faces were filled with excitement that was hard to mask.

　　That planet and that giant loong! It was the sacred place and dreaming wonderland that the young passengers had yearned for all their lives and dreamed of ------Dragon Head Fort...

　　In the golden-warts-liked cockpit, two pilots in yellow military uniforms had already woken up in it. They switched to manual mode and began to pilot the Swan spacecraft to approach the giant loong...

　　The pilot on the left had blond hair and blue eyes, while the pilot on the right had coloured skin outside the military uniform.

　　When the music stopped, the blond-hair pilot on the left picked up the communicator and said, “Dear elites from the Mars Academy, you are about to reach the destination of this voyage, the sacred place of the Human Alliance------ Dragon Head Fort

　　Dragon Head Fort had a hundred-long history. It was the first stronghold for us humans to enter the universe, the birthplace of the Human Alliance, and even the place where the Last Legion had the final decisive battle against the evil forces at the end of the world!

　　It was also the only place outside the mother planet where Chu Mufan, the Chosen One, the great hero, the saviour of human survivors, the great god-like man, the great...the great benefactor, had ever lived!”

　　The pilot thought hard for a long time about the words in his mind, trying to express his admiration for Chu Mufan, the Chosen One, in his heart! However, in the end, he ran out of words and even blurted out “the benefactor”! The pilot seemed to be in his early thirties. And no one knew exactly how Chu Mufan, a legendary figure from one hundred years ago, did any good to him...

　　Hissing...

　　The captain really couldn’t bear to listen anymore and cut off the broadcast!

　　In the cockpit, the captain scolded the pilot harshly, while the young pilot kept bowing to the captain and saying that he’s sorry for being too excited to see the human sacred place and becoming talkative for a moment...

　　While they were making a fuss in the cockpit, from the outside, the Swan spacecraft was steadily sailing towards the distant loong...

　　The inspiring and passionate tune of The Last Battle Song came from the speakers in the passenger cabin of the spaceship again. No one knew whether the trainees on the Swan spacecraft had listened carefully to the pilot’s words. But as soon as the inspiring The Last Battle Song was played, everybody shook their bodies to the rhythm and hummed softly, enjoying the battle melody left by the predecessors of the Last Legion. In their heart, they were going back to that apocalyptic ear when war raged everywhere and zombies roamed freely...

　　With such music, these youngsters soon arrived near the giant loong hovering around the earth. This was the sacred place of mankind------Dragon Head Fort!

　　All the young boys and girls stretched their necks, squeezing their still somewhat childish faces against the windows, and stared intently at Dragon Head Fort in the distance. Every one of them had looked of shock and excitement on their faces!

　　Many of them were born on Mars and had never left the academy since their childhood. This was their first time seeing their mother planet and its guardian------Dragon Head Fort!

　　Looking at the distance along their sight, the beautiful and resplendent origin place of human species------the Earth, looked rather perfect and charming!

　　And the giant loong guarding it was even more spectacular and magnificent!

　　This colossal creature resembled the “Loong” in Chinese myths and legends very much. Its huge head had an awe-inspiring and imposing air even without being angry!
