Chapter 4: See you again
The Xiaoxing ship is small in size and lacks space, and the training space provided for the soldiers is limited. One-third of the year is for ground training at the Gamma military base, and the rest of the time is followed by the sixth main ship. Cruising the vast space.
Unlike a mobile unit, the main ship is huge and is the overlord in space. Like a moving city fortress, a main ship has tens of thousands of soldiers. The Xingtian Ship is the heart of the entire Golden Crusade, and all the soldiers on it add up. There are nearly one hundred thousand.
Now, Ryan is one of them.
The five generals of the empire are stationed in five positions of the territory. After the war with the Zerg four months ago, the Golden Crusaders will go to the garrison area after repairing.
Led by the Xingtian ship, and the Ares and Athena ships as deputy, the mighty army pulled out of the port and went to the designated coordinates.
Lane stood in front of the window, watching the Gamma military base get farther and farther, and finally became one of the many stars in space.
"What is Ryan looking at, it's time to gather."
Ryan put on his hat and said in response, "I see, come right away."
Ryan became a member of the Xingtian Ship Logistics Machinery Repair Team No. 16. There were fifty people in the team, and five people formed a team. Ryan's team leader was a strong two-meter tall man. The one who just called him was Amy, and he belonged to the team. a member.
Ryan walked quickly to the corner, and Amy with blond hair was waiting there, "You're new, the road must be unfamiliar, I'll wait for you, I'll gather later, if you get lost and miss the meeting time, you can ask be punished."
"Thank you." Ryan said gratefully.
After entering Xing Tianjing for three days, he read Xing Tianjian's map many times, and read many rules and regulations of Xing Tianjian, but after all, it will take a while to be fully familiar with the terrain when he first came here. The gathering place is the training ground on the top floor, usually only used by mecha warriors and their restorers.
Lane and Amy walked over there, and encountered many soldiers along the way, both men and women, all wearing dark green military uniforms, with armbands on the shoulders and collar patches on the neckline to identify their department and military rank.
When I got out of the elevator, I entered an open and vast space. The mechas were lined up against the wall, majestic, solemn, and daunting.
That is the mecha that Ryan is eager to get in touch with. He is self-studying mecha repairing. In August this year, three months later, there will be a first-level mecha repairer exam. He has already signed up. Once he passes, he can apply with the leader. He can be transferred to the mecha repair team, maybe he, he can also become the exclusive repairer of General Dalton.
Well, he was just delusional.
The general's mecha repairer is the top five-star repairer in the empire, and he can't compare to the one who entered the Xingtian Ship by crony.
"What are you in a daze, come back to the team." Amy grabbed Ryan and told him not to be in a daze.
Ryan quickly adjusted his state, cleaned up his emotions, and followed Amy into the team. It was at the end of the entire queue, very far from the ship platform.
On the platform, General Dalton and several colonels were already standing.
When the assembly time came, everyone was quiet, and Dalton stepped forward to speak.
He seems to be thin.
Ryan looked at the man on the distant high platform and felt that he was thin, his flexible waist was much thinner, and his face seemed to be pale.
What happened recently, why does the brow look a little tired.
"Fight for the empire, fight for the empire."
With a majestic voice, Ryan suddenly sobered up, hurriedly covered up his chaotic thoughts, and shouted.
After the assembly, Ryan turned back and followed Amy to the elevator entrance three steps at a time. On the high platform, General Dalton and others had turned and left, and he could no longer see it.
"Do you think the general is a little tired?"
"What did you say." Amy looked at Ryan inexplicably. "That's our commander. He is the youngest general in the empire, a man of steel. How can he be tired."
"But he's a person." Ryan said stubbornly, feeling distressed for the man who was aloof and had been mythical.
"Yeah, of course it is a human being, but the general is different from us. He is strong-willed, highly capable, and has a much stronger endurance than us. He will definitely not be tired. Many things are a piece of cake for him." Amy Grabbing Ryan's arm, he rushed forward in a hurry, "Let's go, just go to the restaurant to eat. Enjoy the last leisure time, starting tomorrow, group training in the morning, group training in the afternoon, and keep it at all times. state, there is no possibility of slack.”
The food in Xing Tianjian Restaurant is quite different from that in Little Star Ship. The variety and taste are more delicious. The vegetables are still very fresh, as if they were picked from the branches before cooking.
Amy told him it was because the ship had a greenhouse for cultivation.
"If you want, you can buy a planting cabin, one square meter or two square meters. It's also good to use in the dormitory. It doesn't matter on the ship." Before the two separated, Amy said to Ryan: "Anyway, if you live alone, you have a lot of space, so you don't need to waste it. There are very few fruits on the ship, and there are only one variety. You can grow them yourself and eat them. I'm so envious that you can live alone."
On the ship, except for the single room of the colonel and above, the soldiers are all two people. But Ryan was assigned to a single-person dormitory. According to the clerk of the logistics dormitory, it was because he happened to be in an odd number, and two people could not live together.
Ryan's personal terminal rang, and he raised his arm to look through the messages and saw a text message from a hidden number - I'll be here at night.
Lane knew who it was.
He thought, the dormitory of a person is really convenient.
Open the dormitory with an iris, Lane walked in, the door slowly closed behind him, there was a space of 20 square meters inside, with a double bed against the wall on one side, a wardrobe, a table on the other side, and a separate bathroom and bathroom. Simple kitchen. The furnishings are simple, and there is no personal color for the time being.
Lane stared blankly for a while before going to take a bath to prepare. Sometimes he thinks that he is really like a concubine summoned by the emperor in ancient times. Fortunately, the emperor currently has only his concubine.
Coming out of the bathroom, Ryan saw the people outside froze, "General, you're here."
Auston was dressed in casual clothes, which looked much softer than the cold and hard military uniform, and at the same time couldn't hide his tiredness.
"Yeah." Auston didn't want to speak, he fiddled with a crisper on the table with his fingers unconsciously.
Ryan walked over quickly and took the crisper.
"Sorry," said Auston withdrew his hand.
Ryan was annoyed, he was too reckless. "No, no..." Alas, he was talking about something. Open the fresh-keeping box, revealing white and pink strawberries, "The strawberries that my parents have cultivated through several generations of genetic improvement, cream strawberries, taste very good, I specially brought them here for you to taste."
Ryan said angrily: "It tastes the best when it's just picked off the branch. Now it's been a long time, and it's not as fresh and delicious as it used to be."
Strawberries are inherently difficult to preserve. Even though the fresh-keeping box can extend the shelf life of strawberries by 15 days, it is still different from the ones picked off the branches.
Auston didn't expect that he could still receive the gift, the corners of his mouth curled up, he smiled, and said softly, "Thank you."
"Try it." Ryan said eagerly.
"Okay." Auston took a strawberry and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste instantly filled the whole mouth. The fragrant strawberry fragrance can sweep away the depression in my heart. Creamy taste that doesn't steal the show, "It's delicious."
"As long as you like it." Ryan's heart was relieved.
Auston was eating strawberries, and Ryan watched him eat strawberries, and the room fell silent for a while. The two identities, status, backgrounds, etc. are not similar, there is no intersection in life and work, even people with different interests and hobbies have no common topics, and the only purpose of getting together is children.
Even if you don't want to get straight to the point, you have to face it in the end.
If there is more, it is not all for this previous atmosphere, it is better to just do it neatly.
Auston put down the strawberry, lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, the dark shadow in his eyes made him look a little fragile at the moment, unable to connect with the young admiral aloof.
"let's start."
Ryan pursed his lips, unable to refute.
· Brain · Supplement · ·
Lane worked hard, panting hard, and the various tricks he had recently used to make up for it were only one or two out of ten. No matter how much theoretical skills are read, they are still not enough when they are used, and their minds go blank when doing them, and most of the time they act according to their instincts.
Ryan wanted to ask Auston how he was feeling, he felt uncomfortable there and he could change it. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Auston frowning, closing his eyes, biting his lip tightly, and enduring all of Ryan's movements. Ryan's hot heart suddenly cooled, and he explained it below.
Auston breathed a sigh of relief, his cheeks a little more crimson, and his hands on both sides of his body slowly loosened their fists.
Ryan stepped back, like a defeated young lion curled up at the end of the bed.
Auston reluctantly propped himself up on the bed and sat up, frowning slightly, enduring physical discomfort and starting to get dressed, he said, "I'll let you know in seven days."
Ryan suddenly raised his head to look at him, his expression ferocious for a moment, his eyes touched Auston's calm face, all the questions in his heart turned into nothing, and he laughed at himself: I'm just a tool for reproduction tasks, why are you talking about feelings with me? .
Seeing Auston staggering to his feet, Ryan pounced on him to help him, "Otherwise, you can rest here."
"No, I still have work to do." Auston said tiredly, probably someone who had just joined together, and his weakness showed in front of this young man for a short time.
"You..." Ryan was not qualified to stop him, so he could only say, "You have a good rest. I see a bruise on your waist, and I dare not touch it. Why didn't you ask the medical officer to treat the injury?"
"This injury can't be cured in a short time." Auston glanced at the time, it was almost time, he should be leaving.
Ryan watched Auston leave eagerly, like a little daughter-in-law who was thrown into a palace.
"He's supposed to hate me and just endure it for the sake of having offspring."
Ryan guessed sadly.
From the second day on, Ryan started daily training on Xingtian Ship, group training in the morning and group training in the afternoon, focusing on physical training and mechanical training, supplemented by teamwork.
There is an hour of free time between morning and afternoon, during which time distant relatives can be contacted through Skynet.
"Little cook is still not used to it, haha, our training is very hard." Some tall and burly team members laughed at Ryan, who was much shorter than him.
Ryan was not annoyed, he hurried to contact his cousin, "It's okay."
"What's the matter with the cook? I look down on those who cook for us. Be careful that the chef won't cook for you in the future." Amy retorted. underfoot. "Ryan's physical fitness is very good. He finished the 1,000-meter, 1-minute and 50-second run. He is the first place in our team."
"What's the point of not running fast." The burly man laughed with laughter, "A soldier must have a strong overall quality, and his stature like a chicken can't even lift four hundred pounds."
"Cut, it's not, Ryan can lift five hundred pounds." Amy stretched out a finger, "It's also the first."
Ryan's physical fitness is really good. After ten years in the army, he has never let up on his own management.
In the interstellar era, the physical fitness of genetically modified humans has been greatly improved, and cannot be measured by the standards of ancient humans.
"What's wrong with the strength, but also good coordination." The burly man continued to mutter, and a friend had already pulled him and asked him to say a few words less, but the guy full of muscles in his mind didn't listen at all.
Ryan said shyly: "I have good coordination, and the comprehensive training in the morning is also the first." The comprehensive training is similar to the triathlon, but the items are more and more complicated.
The Xingtian Ship is worthy of being the main ship, and the training intensity on the first day of returning to the team is very strong.
Ryan cheered himself on, and he will not be able to relax in the future.
The small quarrel in the restaurant has attracted everyone's attention more or less, and the big man feels dull, "Accidental, how can a cook get such good results, it must be an accident. I will compare with you tomorrow... "
Dahan was dragged away by his companions, and if he kept it, he would be humiliating himself. All the results were made by himself. Take lessons.
"Hmph, Ryan, you can't be too good-natured, what should you do if someone rides on your head." Amy hummed with her arms crossed, and glared back all the peeping eyes around her. What are you looking at? newcomer! I was triumphant in my heart, "You are really amazing. Our group has always been at the bottom. You can rewrite our destiny by coming here. You didn't see the appearance of the group leader, and you drifted when you walked."
"Fortunately, everyone is working hard, and I have to do my best."
"Don't be so modest, the military is a place to talk with your fists."
"Well, my fists are also very hard." Ryan was used to being in the kitchen, but he really forgot that the army is based on strength.
"Not much to say, I'll go to the toilet."
"What about dinner?" said Amy.
Ryan thought for a while, "You help me get it first, whatever you eat, just help me with it, I'll come right away."
"Okay." Amy looked at Ryan's back hurriedly leaving, and said enviously, "What a dynamic newcomer."
The newcomer Ryan found an empty toilet seat and shrunk in, and sent a message to his cousin who was far away in E69. Xing Tianjian clearly stated that all personal information exchanges must be monitored, so he did not dare to say it explicitly, and could only give it vaguely. Cousin sends a message.
"Cousin help, he has endured at that time."
My cousin is dedicated to guarding the Internet, and the information came back quickly, "You have gone to the army, you have met with him, is he your leader?"
Ryan: "..." The brain supplementation experts analyze it right every time.
Lane: "Answer my question."
"Baby, be gentle on the bed, be considerate, not only have action but also language, what are you doing with a long mouth, let you flirt."
"...You're so good at flirting, and you're not married."
"I'm seeing through the red dust, as long as it's fate."
Ryan made an aggrieved expression, "He has been patient during the whole process, frowning unhappy, do you hate me?"
"How come, our baby Ryan is a handsome guy, who doesn't like it." Connor sent a message with his own analysis, "Will he not know what AI is at all? Maybe he has been His life is rigid and boring. No one tells him what love is, nor does he know what pleasure is. Try it next time, talk more during the process, interact with each other, and let you touch what you want with your fingers. Yes."
Ryan suddenly realized, "I know, I will work hard."
