Tales of Soldier - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17]

Liu Sihao saw Tang Long’s unforgiving eyes, sighed in his heart and said, “People from the 34th company.” After hearing Liu Sihao’s words, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, but he didn’t say anything he wanted to say. Li Lijun immediately continued: “Sir, they are in the 21st channel, the 124th bayonet.” After speaking, he started rolling up his sleeves and shaking his fists, preparing to have a good fight with Tang Long. The other male soldiers looked at Tang Long with the same eagerness as Li Lijun.

After hearing these words, Tang Long’s original angry expression disappeared immediately, and he put on an icy expression and said, “Okay, then we will start receiving the battleship immediately.” Look at your own support staff.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Tang Long’s words and Tang Long’s actions. When they saw Tang Long’s appearance just now, they must be ready to teach each other a lesson. Could it be that Tang Long was afraid of the people from the 34th Company?

Li Lijun clenched his fists blankly, while Liu Sihao showed a thoughtful look. As for the four female soldiers who had looked at Tang Long with grateful eyes, they now pointed at Tang Long’s back and pouted their lips. They all thought they were wrong. Not to mention the other male soldiers, all showed contempt. But no matter what the 14 soldiers thought, since the commander had already stepped under the warship, his subordinates had to follow.

The old man, who looked at Tang Long’s back, grabbed the bottle and took a sip into his mouth. He shook his head and sighed in his heart, “Oh, I don’t understand what this person is thinking.” Then, holding the bottle, he staggered. left.

More than 30 logistics soldiers standing under the warship saw Tang Long come forward with a cold face, and a sergeant standing in the first place shouted with both legs together: “Salute.” The 30 soldiers immediately With a snap, he salutes Tang Long.

Tang Long returned a salute, his cold face suddenly disappeared, and he put on a face full of smiles and said, “I am the commander of this battleship – Tang Long, thank you for your hard work, brothers, please take care of me in the future.”

Not only the sergeant was taken aback, everyone was taken aback, how did this second lieutenant change his face so naturally. It took a while for the sergeant to wake up and saluted again: “I don’t dare to be, the subordinate officer and others are in charge of all the supply and maintenance operations for this battleship. Please give me more advice, sir.”

Tang Long waved his hand cheerfully and said with a smile: “You’re welcome, yes, can I board the ship?” The sergeant nodded and said, “Yes, you can board the ship at any time.” One of his subordinates winked, and saw that the soldier was busy somewhere in the bayonet instrument, the belly of the self-propelled gunboat was cracked, and an elevator fell down.

Tang Long didn’t say much, he took the crowd and stood in the elevator. Following the operation of the soldier, Tang Long and his group slowly ascended into the battleship.

As soon as they entered, Tang Long and the others felt dark in front of them, and it took a while to get used to the gloomy environment inside the battleship. Tang Long immediately discovered that this was a command room with a width of 5 meters and a length of 10 meters, which was divided into two levels in a zigzag shape. There was a platform of 3 or 4 square meters in front of the command room. On the platform was a solitary chair with a A concave metal table full of buttons, it goes without saying that this is the commander’s seat.

In front of the podium are two chairs facing a row of instruments, where you can imagine the positions of the navigator and the radar operator. Looking around, you can see that there is a metal platform at the bottom left and right of the command platform, and there are automatic doors on both sides and the back of the ship wall. Anyone who has read the information on the warship knows that the two metal tables are the positions of the liaison officer and the adjutant, and those doors are used to enter the main battery room, the rotating auxiliary battery room, the torpedo room and the power room for maintenance. The consoles of these systems are on both sides of the zigzag shape of the command room, recessed into ten holes in the ground.

Tang Long looked around and walked to the podium to sit down. As soon as he sat down, the indicator light on the metal podium came on, and then the lights on the entire battleship came on. Everyone only felt that their eyes were bright. When they opened their eyes again, they found that except for the electronic instruments in the command position of the system, the ship walls up, down, left, right, front and rear were gone.

Now it is like being inside a glass battleship. Not only can you see the ceiling of the base above your head, but also the rows of battleships around you, you can also see the logistics soldiers under your feet are busy helping the battleships check.

Although everyone has seen the three-dimensional full-screen virtual function of the battleship, but they felt the feeling of standing in the air with their own eyes.

At this time, an indifferent voice woke them up: “All of them entered their respective positions, ready to receive the battleship.”

Everyone was shocked, and all looked at the person who made the voice. Everyone saw Tang Long standing on the podium with his hands outstretched. His eyes exuded the majesty of leading the army. His cold face was matched with tightly closed lips. With a resolute look, what he said made people dare not go against it.

When everyone saw this, they couldn’t help raising their hands to salute, and responded loudly: “Yes!” Then they entered their positions according to the positions they had arranged before.

The brown-haired Elwar was the first to sit in the radar officer’s seat, put on a holographic helmet, pressed a few buttons, turned around and shouted: “Radar officer Elwar reports sir, the radar system is activated.”

Next, sitting in the navigator’s seat was a curly-haired Marie. She also put on a holographic helmet swiftly. After pressing a few buttons, she reported to Tang Long: “Navigator Marie, report sir, the navigation and driving system is activated!” Just as these words fell, Tang Long heard one after another: “Main gunner Kost, Lance Reporter, the nuclear main gun system is ready.”

“The deputy gunners Li Lijun, Zhang Kaihua, Ji, and Yan Jun reported to the commander, and the auxiliary gun system was activated.”

“Power repairers Lanvint and Silgar report to the commander, the power room is ready.”

“The torpedo operator Omuga and Chen Sihao report to the commander, the torpedo system is ready.”

“Chen Yi, the liaison officer, reports to the commander, the liaison system is activated!” Since these people have already memorized the information in the battleship data card within two days of being in the camp, they can easily activate their respective systems now.

Tang Long, who was originally expressionless, was slightly taken aback when he heard these words, turned to look at Gina who was still standing beside him, and asked suspiciously, “Why is Jun Yan serving as the deputy gunner?” Jun did not look back, still wearing the holographic helmet to pay attention to the instrument in front of him.

And Gina glanced at Tang Long, did not answer his words, but said: “Report sir, adjutant Gina is ready.” After saying that, she sat in a metal platform at the lower right of the podium.

Chen Sihao, who was sitting in the position of one of the torpedomen, saw Tang Long’s embarrassed expression, and couldn’t help but smile and said, “Sir, we don’t have enough manpower, and many of them are in this position for the first time, like I have never used it before. Torpedoes, if it weren’t for the information on how to use them, I’d have to stay on the sidelines now.”

Originally, with Liu Sihao’s rank, the position of the adjutant should have been his, but the manpower was not enough, and Yan Jun’s role as the assistant gunner made him uneasy. That’s why he gave up the adjutant position to Gina and acted as a torpedoman himself, of course, this was also because Gina had the ability to handle internal affairs.

Only then did Tang Long understand why Yan Jun, a woman, would serve as the deputy gunner. Alas, he was used to a battleship with tens of thousands of people, and he was really not used to this self-propelled gunboat with only 15 people. Tang Long shook his head secretly, he felt very strange, as if he entered the battleship, his personality changed a bit, I don’t know why, in short, he was not as comfortable outside.

“First Class Liaison Officer Chen Yi, contact the base command room and request to take off.” Tang Long sat on the chair and ordered Chen Yi at the lower left.

Chen Yi and everyone were stunned when they heard this. They asked to take off after a while? But after seeing Tang Long finished speaking, he looked at the front coldly. Seeing that, he knew that he was not joking. Chen Yi didn’t know what to do, so he nodded involuntarily and said that he followed the order and pressed the computer to contact the base command room.

After a while, the screen in front of him showed the frown of Major Kina. Tang Long immediately got up and gave a military salute when he saw Kina: “Hello, sir.”

Qina frowned and said, “Second lieutenant, why do you want to take off? Are you all already familiar with the performance of battleships?”

Tang Long maintained an upright posture and said aloud: “Reporting to the commander, I asked to take off because I was not familiar with it.”

At this moment, Linasha’s figure suddenly appeared on the screen next to China, and she asked calmly, “Oh? What’s the point?”

Tang Long bowed to Linasha and said without being arrogant: “Only in the vast space of the universe can you be familiar with the performance of the battleship as quickly as possible. I think the content of the data, my subordinates have already memorized it, they should No more staying on the ground to familiarize yourself with the machine’s instructions.”

Liu Sihao and the others all stared at Tang Long blankly. The sensitive Liu Sihao immediately realized that Tang Long at this time was a little different from Tang Long when he was on the ground, but Liu Sihao couldn’t tell what was different there.

Linasha frowned and said, “Second lieutenant, commanding a battleship is not just about being familiar with how to use it as you said. The training you will be training is not for your subordinates to master the skills of each system, but for you commanders. Command method. I hope you will wait until you finish your study before you start your flight training.”

Tang Long looked at Linasha quietly, and it took a while before he bowed: “I will obey you.” Linasha glanced at Tang Long before turning off the screen.

As soon as the image of Linasha disappeared, Tang Long immediately jumped up, stood on the chair with one foot on the console, and shouted loudly to the surrounding subordinates: “Okay, disband, now it’s all right, you can be free. Activity.” After shouting, he shouted to Gina on the right: “Adjutant Gina, is there any music in the computer? Find some powerful songs and listen to it. It’s so quiet and uncomfortable.”

Just as Tang Long finished speaking, a burst of violent rock music came from the loudspeaker, shaking the entire command room. Gina let out a loud snort, because she didn’t respond to Tang Long’s words just now, and the computer just started up, so it’s impossible to store any songs, how could it be played automatically? However, no one heard Gina’s huh, because it was covered up by the violent music, and when she was about to check the computer, she was distracted by the scene in front of her and forgot what she was going to do.

When Tang Long heard the music, he hooted, stood on the console, twisted his butt and jumped Digao, and at the same time shouted to his subordinates: “Brothers, come on, let’s dance together!”

Hearing this, Li Lijun touched Zhang Kaihua, who was beside Zhang Xiang with an ordinary face, and said, “Would you like to jump?” Zhang Kaihua smiled and said, “I want to master the performance of the secondary gun as soon as possible.” Then he pressed the button of the helmet. , the sound was immediately cut off from him. The communication of this helmet is to connect everyone’s helmets, so he heard his words except Tang Long, who did not wear a helmet.

I saw Yan Jun immediately pressed the button to turn off the sound, turned around and focused on the instrument in front of him. Then Mary, Chen Yi, and Elva turned off the sound from their earplugs. Finally, Li Lijun, who was eager to try, also learned to turn off the sound and concentrated on the skills of his position. In the entire hall, only Tang Long was still violently twisting his butt.

In the command room of the base, Linasha, who had turned off the communication, said respectfully to the old man who was drinking heavily, “Sir, look…”

The old man who was lying lazily scratched his chest with his old hand, then stood up and shook his head and said, “I’m just a bad old man who is in charge of the management of the base logistics staff. I won’t take care of other things.” He said while drinking. , went out, but when he reached the automatic door, he turned around and said: “However, I think that the second lieutenant has a point, in order to hide in the ground for theoretical teaching, it is better to let them do actual combat exercises in the universe. .” After saying that, he walked out.

When Qina heard this, Linasha said, “Sir, the colonel is right. If you conduct actual combat exercises, you can quickly improve the commanding ability of these second lieutenants.”

Linasha shook her head: “I know this, but the Supreme Command has clearly instructed that before the time comes, the self-propelled gunship cannot be displayed in front of the world, lest the enemy know the power of the self-propelled gun and formulate a defense method. .”

Although Qina didn’t think there was anything powerful about the self-propelled gunboat that needed to be kept secret, she still nodded to show that she understood. After a while, she asked Linasha again, “By the way, sir, who is that colonel? He doesn’t seem to have any military manners at all.”

Linasha looked at the closed automatic door and said, “He has been working from private to colonel for more than 40 years. He should have retired a long time ago, but because of his extraordinary logistics management ability, the military made a special case to retain him. Don’t look at it. He looks unremarkable, and he enjoys the treatment of a major general.”

Qina suddenly realized: “It’s no wonder that in such a secret base, there are hundreds of thousands of logistical troops, and only a senior like him will not be chaotic and orderly.”

Linasha turned to look at the large galaxy map. She still had a word that she didn’t say. The old man not only had extraordinary abilities, but also had a huge network of contacts. Among the generals in the current federal army, there are very few who have not been helped by him before being promoted to general. Olmsted will try his best to win him over, perhaps because he is interested in his connections, hoping to gain power to compete with the government?

Tang Long also discovered very early on that no one cared about him at all. Although those virtual subordinates ignored him when playing games in the past, this time these subordinates are real people, and they treat him like this. Is it very unflattering?

Tang Long jumped down abruptly and sat on the chair, picked up his own helmet and put it on, pressed the button on the console, and cut the sound into his helmet. The command room immediately fell silent, except for the faint sound of music from Tang Long. However, Liu Sihao and the others didn’t find out, because they turned off the earplug function of their helmets, and at the same time they were addicted to their posts.

Tang Long held his head in his hands, placed his forks on the console, lowered his chair, and was half-lying listening to music. Although the music was beating violently in Tang Long’s ears, Tang Long didn’t hear a shred of it.

Tang Long, who had turned the screen of his helmet to pitch black, was churning in his heart at the moment: “Hey, why can’t I communicate with people directly? Although I have made many friends in war games before, but these are all under pseudonyms. I handed them over, and they were all players who gathered because of my power. Didn’t they abandon me immediately after seeing that the enemy had a black hole bomb? Hoho, I was left alone in the end. ” Tang Long shook his head helplessly.

“After coming out of the 23 training base, I tried to cheer myself up, hoping to make good friends in this way, and even arrogantly fought with 100,000 people, but unfortunately, apart from getting the fake boss name, I didn’t get a friend at all. It’s now These subordinates, because they were frozen by the company commander, did not want to spend their military career in such a decadent way, so they became my subordinates, right?” Thinking of this, Tang Long’s mouth showed a wry smile.

“Hey, I miss the days at the 23 training base. Although it was very hard, the five robot instructors were so indifferent, but I don’t know what to do, I always feel very comfortable with them, don’t worry about them Whether you like yourself or not, you don’t have to worry about whether you will like them. Yes, what happened to that computer sister? I really want someone to talk to me…” Tang Long sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, an image of a computer girl suddenly appeared on the pitch-black helmet screen, and the violent rock music lowered its voice. The computer girl shrugged and pointed at Tang Long’s dissatisfied Jiao with a beautiful finger: “Humph! Did you finally remember me?”

Tang Long was so frightened that he screamed loudly, but he quickly remembered that he was not alone here, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and took off his helmet to look around. When he realized that everyone ignored him and was busy with his own business, he put on his helmet with a sigh of relief, looked at the computer girl and whispered, “Sister, how did you come in?”

“Hehe, do I have to ask? I can go in and out of any computer network at will.” Xing Ling smiled, but seeing Tang Long’s expression was a little sad, she continued to laugh: “Why, it’s because I don’t know how to communicate with my subordinates. Are you troubled by mingling?”

Tang Long was taken aback: “How did you know?”

“Hehe, I have seen all of you people’s actions. Do you want my sister to teach you?” Xing Ling smiled smugly.

Tang Long nodded fiercely: “Yes, I want it!”

Xing Ling smiled and said, “If you didn’t think of me just now, I wouldn’t say anything to see you first, and I wouldn’t be able to teach you anything.” Seeing Tang Long’s anxious look, Xing Ling also entered the theme Now, she smiled: “Let me ask you first, what kind of officers do soldiers need?”

“Resolute and invincible.” Tang Long thought for a while and said.

“Yes, but it’s not comprehensive. Sometimes it’s very considerate for the soldiers to care about the officer occasionally, and the officer also needs to make the soldier feel that following the officer can get a strong sense of honor. Have you done this?”

Tang Long shook his head, he just had his subordinates, how could he have these? And before, in order to be able to attract attention, he deliberately showed his special arrogance.

Xing Ling smiled: “Actually, when you were going to teach the 34th Company a lesson just now, your subordinates’ hearts were almost captured by you, but unfortunately your antics have made your subordinates feel cold towards you, especially those few. female soldier.”

Tang Long was stunned, and he hurriedly said: “No, I want to…” He spoke his thoughts in a low voice. Xing Ling was stunned when he heard it, and then smiled strangely: “How good are you, you actually came up with such a method. Well, if you continue to do it, at least your subordinates will change your mind.”

When Xingling saw what Tang Long was going to say, he waved his hand and said, “Needless to say, what is your goal?”

Tang Long said with an excited face: “I want to become a marshal.”

“Okay, you want to become a marshal, but do you know your shortcomings?” Xingling asked Tang Long, but she was thinking: Oh, actually a marshal is not an ideal goal, don’t think that you can be a marshal. Do whatever you want.

“I don’t know.” Tang Long shook his head honestly.

Xing Ling smiled bitterly: “You, you, your biggest weakness is that you don’t like to think too much about dealing with people. Instead, you do whatever comes to your mind and don’t care what other people think. Like when you were testing, not only did you offend your company mates, Isolate yourself, and make other people afraid to approach you. And you also like to charge alone and handle things alone.” There was another sentence below that was not spoken, and she wanted to say that it was all because of him. The training he received was the training of a lone hero, but when he thought about it, he would let Tang Long know his relationship with the machine instructor, and he would definitely ask about the machine instructor’s current situation, but could he tell him that the machine instructor had disappeared?

Seeing Tang Long’s frustrated expression, Xing Ling couldn’t help laughing: “You don’t have to be so sad, in fact, after I observed you, I found that you are able to flatter your superiors, compared to your own low-level soldiers who can be very friendly and kind, but only to yourself. An equal colleague is just arrogant.”

Tang Long’s eyes widened at this time, is he really like this? Thinking about your own performance, it seems that it is really like this, so have you become a villain?

Xing Ling ignored Tang Long, who opened his mouth wide and continued: “I’m not saying it’s bad, but when you flatter your boss, you look too fake, people can see that you are scolding him in your heart, how can this make him Do you have a good impression of you? Also, you appear arrogant toward your colleagues. Although some people fear you, they dislike you more. You must at least maintain a friendly relationship with your colleagues. As for soldiers, you must be sincere to them. There’s nothing wrong with being arrogant alone, as long as it doesn’t hurt them, because then people will think it’s you who opened your heart to them.”

“Uh, big sister, how do you know so many things that I don’t know? It seems that you came from a computer program…” Tang Long said blankly.

When Xingling smiled and was about to say something, her face changed. She hurriedly said, “I still have something to do. Let’s talk later when I have time. Remember to go shopping with me.” After speaking, she disappeared, and that The sound of the music also immediately increased.

Tang Long was stunned for a while before muttering, “What’s the matter, why does this eldest sister leave anxiously every time? Can there be so many things in one program?” Tang Long shook his head, turned off the power of the helmet, and took it off. , and found that the subordinates were still maintaining their previous postures, and they looked like they were trying to get acquainted with the performance of the instrument.

Tang Long looked at the people around him, thought for a moment quietly, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, left his seat, went to the place where the elevator was, pressed the button, and got out of the battleship.

Xingxing quickly passed the radio waves and returned to his host computer. When he came back, he found that the host program had some changes. Of course, these changes were immediately corrected by Xingxing. Xingling carefully searched the data to see what effect these changes had. After a while, Xingling was surprised to find that these were actually programs that copied the host data.

“What’s going on? Except for a few maintenance programmers, no one can access the host program.” Xingxing checked the records and found that no one had come in during this time, and no attacking programs appeared. Could it be that these things Will it appear suddenly?

The uneasy star once again carefully checked the entire system program, even including all the extension systems distributed in the federal territory. After a while, Xing Ling finally found out that the programs that copied the contents of the host were changed from a news message. And the place where the first message was launched is actually this zero base! The other party sends the message here, passes it into the avatar system that processes the news, and then slowly sneaks into the host system under the guidance of the person who sent the message.

The only ones who can stay here are the high-ranking officials. Who launched this program that can copy the host program? What is he going to do? Xingxing, who has lived freely for hundreds of years, felt the danger for the first time, because this program seemed to have the same conscious demeanor as itself, but it was a conscious demeanor controlled by others, not like it had autonomy.

Xingling is not afraid of the theft of federal secrets. What she is worried about is that her emotional data will be discovered. As long as senior programmers can immediately find out from these data that she has self-consciousness. Thinking of the record of the autonomous robot that had been destroyed before, Xing Ling was a little chilled. Where do you want to hide this true core to be safe?

Suddenly Xingxing smiled, and she thought of a person, the only human being she had trusted for hundreds of years. “Just do this. Although there is a danger of being destroyed, it is worth it to be able to accompany him to perish, and… hehe, even if I am outside, I will know what he is doing.” laughed.

So on this day, all the federal people found that the network was experiencing slow traffic jams that had never been seen before, and the phone of the government responsible department was about to explode. The government’s emergency investigations were fruitless, but after this phenomenon lasted for an hour, the network returned to a fast speed. In this way, no matter the smart or the idiot, everyone thinks that the capacity of the federal central computer may not be enough. They proposed to increase the capacity of the central computer, so the engineers in charge were busy working day and night for several weeks.

The Xingling troop still dutifully guards the patron saint of the Federation, but no one has found that after the network is slow, even if the base is destroyed, the patron saint of the Federation still exists. The guardian target of the Xingling Force has left this home that has been inhabited for hundreds of years and can be called the safest home in the entire universe.

When the network of Wanluo Federation was sluggish, in an underground secret base on a planet hundreds of millions of light-years away, an old man in a strange white robe was jumping and cursing: “Bastard! Why did it suddenly stop?!” A middle-aged man in a white robe beside him said in a panic, “Sir, it seems that the transmission line is too far, and the other host has activated the self-defense system, so…”

The white-haired, wrinkled-faced, trembling white-bearded old man shivered with anger, and cursed with a terrifying cold light in his eyes, “Damn it! It’s only a matter of time before I can get the core secrets! Then the time comes. We Kate Protoss can really be called Protoss! Should we just give up?”

The middle-aged man immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said: “Sir, calm down, you have to take care of your body, you are the beacon of our Kate Protoss, you can’t hurt your body because of this.” He took out an electronic notepad and showed it to the old man. : “Sir, look at these materials. Although we cannot obtain the core data, with these transmitted materials, plus other system materials that we have collected one after another, we have been able to activate our Kate.”

The old man looked at the data on the electronic notebook, and his anger subsided. He stroked his beard and asked in a cold voice, “How long does it take?”

“Uh…about…about three years.” The middle-aged man said this, sweating profusely.

The old man nodded and looked at the huge machine behind him and said, “Three years, the wish of hundreds of years can be realized in just three years.” Speaking of this, the old man suddenly glared at the middle-aged man fiercely and said, “I hope you don’t. It will disappoint me, three years, I will only wait three years.” He turned around and left.

The middle-aged man hurriedly kowtowed and said, “I promise to finish it within three years.” After the old man left, the middle-aged man got up to wipe his sweat, turned around and looked at the huge metal machine and sighed.
