Tales of Soldier - Chapter 34

[Chapter 34]

The Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy has a very important space station in the outer space of Haikexing. It is so important that if this space station is lost, the entire Haikexing will become chaotic. The name of this space station is – Wanluo Federation Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Haikexing Sanitation Hall.

At this time, a large container of 10 cubic kilometers was floating next to the space station. A small spaceship was slowly flying to the front of the large container, then reversed, and then stopped after connecting the hook at the back of the spaceship to the large container.

In the space station, a controller wearing a blue uniform with a triangular armband on his right arm. The armband reads the words Sanitation Hall. After hearing the speaker: “Connected.” After the words, he immediately pressed a button. The computer immediately made a sound: “The last scan… B… The trash cabinet has not found any signs of life, and you can go.”

The spaceship that was dragging a large container outside, started the engine immediately after the sound fell, dragged the huge container, and drove quickly into the distance.

When the controller in the space station saw the spacecraft leaving, he shouted into the microphone: “Get the new garbage cabinet ready, the garbage ship behind is waiting impatiently!”

Following his words, the space station stretched out countless giant manipulators, each holding a large piece of metal plate, and these manipulators quickly welded the sandwiched metal plates together. After a while, a huge metal cabinet was floating in space.

After the giant metal cabinet was completed, the spaceships lined up behind the space station immediately flew up. These spaceships are very different from common spaceships. They have a particularly large belly in addition to a huge triangular mark on the hull that reads Sanitation Hall in green. These ships came to the only unsealed upper part of the metal cabinet, opened the bottom gate of the ship, poured the carried objects in, and flew back to Hakox.

In a certain cosmic region of the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy, the small spaceship dragging a giant metal cabinet was flying slowly. There were only two crew members in the spaceship, both men in blue uniforms. A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on a chair, biting a cigarette, with his legs crossed on the front console, and a pen in his hand was writing something in a notebook.

The other is a young man in his 20s, wearing a holographic helmet, humming a tune in a low voice, and shaking his head in the driver’s seat, he didn’t hold the control stick because he had set autopilot . There was a faint sound of music coming from the helmet, and you could tell he was enjoying the music.

After an unknown amount of time, a reddish-brown planet finally appeared on the screen. By looking at the color of this planet, we knew that it was an unstable planet, not suitable for any life to live at all. But the strange thing is that in addition to this spaceship dragging a huge container, there are three or four spaceships that are also dragging a huge container flying towards this planet in the distance.

The middle-aged man saw the images of the spaceships, put his feet down, picked up the notebook in his hand, and tapped the head of the young man beside him. The young man who was knocked seemed used to such things, so he just mumbled, turned off the music, and pressed the buttons on the console skillfully.

“Hey, old man, where are you going after get off work today?” The middle-aged man said to the slowly emerging figure after the young man made a gesture of ok.

The person on the screen is also a middle-aged man, also wearing a blue uniform. He heard this and said with a smile: “Where else can I go to soak in the old place. Yes, why is your Haikexing’s garbage cabinet so big this time? It stands to reason that your place has become a military star, and there is no civilian garbage. Yes.”

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the young man interjected and said, “When it didn’t become a military star, the entire Haikexing was only one cubic kilometer of garbage in a month. Monthly climb, now it’s 10 cubic kilometers.”

The man was a little surprised to hear this and asked, “Why?”

The middle-aged man gave a dissatisfied look at the young man who was just about to answer, and said to his friend first: “Is there any way? This time, there are several warships that were damaged during training. Now it is 10 cubic kilometers, and I am afraid that 100 cubic kilometers of wartime garbage can’t fit in it.”

The middle-aged man of the other ship pouted and said, “The military is really a waste. The warship damaged by training was thrown away without repairing it.”

The young man couldn’t help but interjected and said, “Uncle, they have money, it is more convenient for them to buy a new warship instead of wasting time on repairs. And those officers can also get a big kickback. ”

The middle-aged man next to the young man waved his hand and said, “What do you know, the child is on war alert, and buying a new ship directly will not reduce the combat effectiveness, and now the matter of Namha collaborating with arms dealers to supply fake and shoddy military supplies is causing an uproar. How dare those officers take back the deduction at this time? Besides, it would not be better to blow up the warship directly, so why spend a huge metal waste disposal fee?”

The young man pouted and said, “This is uncle, you don’t know. If the warship explodes, the reporters will notice it, and it’s okay to be stabbed out by them? I have a friend who is on duty at the Haikexing Quartermaster. He told me that these ships When the warships were still intact, the new warships that replaced their numbers had already arrived, and these ships were not damaged during training at all, but were towed to the junkyard by making a few holes in the hull with a laser. He also said that the commander in charge of the military has been eating, drinking and having fun in high-end restaurants these days.”

The two middle-aged people sighed when they heard this, and the middle-aged man sitting beside the young man sighed, “The military and government of the Federation are so corrupt now. First, the four-star generals invaded the hero’s exploits for their sons. Then came the ex-president colluding with arms dealers. Can such a federation resist the invasion of the Silver Eagle Empire?”

Another middle-aged man also sighed and said: “We can’t control the corruption at the top. We ordinary people can get a meal and settle down. Besides, what if the empire invades? Anyway, we ordinary people don’t care where they are. They’re all ordinary people, as long as they don’t become slaves.” Speaking of which, he seemed to have found something, and smiled: “My spaceship is coming soon, see you at the same place after get off work.” Then he turned off the communication.

At this time, the young man checked the data and said to the middle-aged man: “Our abandonment point is approaching.” The middle-aged man nodded: “Well, throw this garbage away and have a drink after get off work.”

“Okay!” The young man nodded excitedly, turned the spacecraft’s autopilot to manual control, and cautiously drove towards the larger and larger reddish-brown planet on the screen. When the spaceship was about to enter the gravitational zone of the planet, it turned abruptly and turned away, and then took advantage of the momentum to untie the connection, allowing the large container to fly towards the planet according to inertia. The spaceship stopped and kept flying towards its base.

After a while, under the attraction of the planet’s gravity, the huge container that entered the atmosphere fell to the planet’s ground while braving sparks.

In this way, there is one in every galaxy that receives junk from each planet, which is called a junk star. This kind of junk star is generally selected to have an atmosphere and is not stable, for no other reason, because such a planet with volcanoes erupting all the year round becomes a melting furnace in disguise, and the atmosphere ensures that discarded garbage will not run back to the universe. Although all planets have ordinary melting furnaces, some huge metal garbage is difficult to melt. Even if it can be melted, it will consume a huge amount of energy. For such garbage, it is generally thrown into garbage stars. Who said that in this cosmic era, there are so many metal minerals and easy to find, it is better to make new ones than to melt and re-smelt metal waste.

Although the cost of sorting garbage once a month and transporting it to the garbage star for disposal is expensive, in order to maintain the beautiful environment of the living place and keep the space route open, the government and the public are willing to accept this cost. In the current era of the universe, no one will throw garbage into space, just like not throwing garbage in large quantities on the road. Because there are many planets in the universe, such junk stars are very easy to find. For planets that cannot be inhabited and have little value, what else can they be used for if they are not used as junk stars? This is the common sense of all the people.

This 10 cubic kilometer garbage container has long been consumed by the atmosphere, and the garbage inside falls to the ground like a goddess scattered flowers. No way, these garbage cabinets are disposable consumables, all of which are shoddy and worthless, and it is impossible to withstand the heat generated by atmospheric friction. Of course, when these garbage containers disappeared, the power of the atmosphere could no longer do any harm to the metal garbage in the garbage containers.

So the ground of this junk star is covered with mountains of all kinds of metal junk, and of course none of them are intact. Some were melted by the sprayed slurry, and some were condensed into a whole metal block at high temperature, but more were piled together in the same state. People will not be surprised to see that the entire planet has almost become a metal star, but if they know that this planet has only been used for more than 10 years, it must be a surprise, which also shows how much metal garbage is discarded every month in the entire galaxy.

Among the new garbage that has not yet come into contact with the garbage mountain on the ground, there are four groups of particularly large objects. Judging from the shape, it can be confirmed that it is a warship, a warship with large holes all over its body. However, these warships are not old, and it can even be said that they are 90% new from the spray paint of the hull. Such warships are not uncommon in the entire junk star. There are dozens of warships of various sizes lying on the junk pile all over the surface of the planet. Of course, these are definitely scrap iron that has been deformed in shape.

The new batch of metal garbage came into close contact with the garbage mountain on the ground, and countless loud noises and metal fragments kept jumping on the surface of the planet. And the free fall of the huge warship was even more earth-shattering, but the earth-shattering loud noise was only 3 times. The four scrapped warships did not have a collective landing ceremony. One of the smallest warships, that is, a warship belonging to the cruiser type, suddenly stopped free fall before landing and suddenly rose. Although it still couldn’t break free from the attraction of the planet and continued to fall, the struggle just now prevented it from deforming as violently as other brothers.

After the warship splashed countless pieces of metal, it was parked on a mountain of garbage like it was parked in a space port. When the metal fragments fell, the entire planet had returned to calm. But it was not a dead silence, a faint metal knocking sound slowly came from this warship without deformation.

There was an unpleasant sound of squeaking, and the sharp iron piece at a hole in the warship was slowly pulled open. Then slowly walked out of the hole, a tall and strong bald man with sunglasses and a black trench coat.

Anyone who sees this human coming out of a warship full of holes will not believe their eyes. Because no human being can not wear a space suit, ride a warship that has lost its protective effect, and appear on this planet with extremely violent ultraviolet rays.

The bald man took off his sunglasses and could see that he did not have normal human eyes. Instead, he had two electronic eyes that exuded green light. With his slightly opened mouth, he could see the metal structure of the mouth. There is no doubt that this bald man is a robot! That would explain why he didn’t have to wear a space suit.

The robot in human skin saw the vast metal world in front of him, and couldn’t help but open his mouth and smiled: “Hey, it seems that I made the right decision after knowing that human beings would regularly discard metal, not only was I lucky enough to pick up this ship The warships with good functions have even obtained this piece of the metal world! Humph, human beings, you will soon be able to enjoy the horrors from the metal world!” After the robot finished speaking, he looked up at the reddish sky that could block the starry sky. , the green glow of its electronic eyes brightened.

“Huh, this is the K area, um, the scenery is not bad.” Tang Long, who got off the transport plane, sighed while looking at the blue sky. But when he looked down from the sky, he was stunned. Under his feet was a large but empty concrete floor, and in the distance was an endless green grass!

Tang Long, who had nothing but a military uniform, ran around the small transport plane and shouted: “No? Why is there nothing? Where is the road? Where is the shuttle bus? Where is the military camp? Where is the fighter jet?!”

When Tang Long was yelling there, he suddenly found a floating car speeding in the distance. When the floating car passed by, the strong wind blew the grass up and down. Tang Long who saw the floating car originally ran towards the floating car happily, but he immediately shouted “Stop!” and ran back, because the floating car was chasing after him without slowing down.

I don’t know if Tang Long was stupid or the driver of the floating car was an idiot, but one person and one car just went around the transport ship like this. I don’t know how many laps it made before the floating car crashed into the wheel of the transport ship, and finally stopped. Tang Long also squatted on the ground like a dog, sticking out his tongue and panting.

Tang Long, who was still out of breath, stood up with difficulty and walked towards the floating car aggressively. He decided not to beat the idiot driver, his surname was not Tang! However, Tang Long’s angry expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a stunned look. There is no other reason, because the driver who stumbled off the floating car while beating his head and moaning was actually a woman wearing a female officer’s uniform.

Why is it specially mentioned here that it is wearing a female officer’s uniform? Because only female officers can wear midi skirts, while female soldiers come with trousers. This is a female officer who should be very young and tall. People who saw her looked down at first glance, because the standard mid-skirt that was originally up to the knee, I don’t know whether it was because her feet were relatively slender or something, but it became 10 cm away from the knee, so that the white The skin showed a lot. She had bright red short hair, but it was a pity that she lowered her head and couldn’t see her face clearly.

Tang Long stayed for a while, then recovered. He continued to walk forward. Although he knew that he could no longer belittle this woman, how could he get rid of his anger without scolding her? Tang Long came to the female officer who was still patting her head, first glanced at her rank, and found that it was a second lieutenant. He breathed a sigh of relief, opened his mouth and posed for scolding.

Tang Long just said your words when the female second lieutenant suddenly straightened up, put her legs together with a snap, gave a beautiful military salute, and a crisp and sweet voice sounded: “Second Lieutenant Ling Li of the SK23 Flying Company is here. Welcome sir!” At this time, you can see her appearance, slender eyebrows with moonlight, melon-seed face, delicate nose, red lips, especially those watery eyes, exuding an inexplicable light. Needless to say she is definitely a beauty, and a very nice one.

Tang Long was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman’s face, and then returned a salute. He hesitated when he should say something. The beauty showed a bit shy and a little guilty, but forced herself to hold back, and said with great difficulty, “Sir, please… Please get in the car and leave the luggage to me.” Then she opened the car door stiffly. .

“Uh, I don’t have any luggage.” Tang Long got into the car blankly, because he was worried that he didn’t have the opportunity to scold this woman. Seeing how flustered and guilty she looks, can you scold her?

“Oh, that’s fine, let’s… go back to the camp now.” The beauty froze for a while, then smiled uneasily and got into the floating car. The car started, but Tang Long waited for a while and didn’t see the car leaving. He couldn’t help but turn his head and saw that the beautiful woman was staring at him intently.

Tang Long looked at himself secretly, and found that there was nothing wrong. He couldn’t help looking at the beauty and wanted to ask what she was doing looking at him all the time. But before he could say anything, the beauty also realized that it seemed a little rude to stare at people, so she turned her head quickly. It just felt like the car backed up sharply and made a turn, hitting the other wheel of the transport ship again.

Tang Long, who managed to get his heartbeat back to normal, couldn’t bear it any longer. While rubbing his forehead, he yelled at the beautiful woman, “Can you drive!”

The beautiful woman named Ling Li was also rubbing her forehead. When she heard Tang Long’s words, she stuck out her cute tongue, her eyes were a little red, her tone was very aggrieved, and she said with a crying voice: “I can’t drive, I just listen to When the commander was coming, I drove here to… so I could pick you up earlier.”

Can’t drive? Are there people in the military who can’t drive? Tang Long shouted angrily: “You don’t know how to use the autopilot function? How did you get here?” Speaking of which, Tang Long remembered that he was chased around the spaceship for an unknown number of times when he first met, Busy then asked, “Why did the car suddenly lose control just now? It chased me like a dog for several laps!”

Ling Li, who was originally crying, suddenly blushed when she heard this, and lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I… I was nervous when I saw you, and accidentally turned off the automatic system, so I…, And…and just crashed the automatic system.”

Hearing this, Tang Long weakly opened the car door and walked down to change positions with Ling Li. Ling Li thought Tang Long was angry, so she panicked and ran down and shouted, “Sir, sir, I’m sorry, I’m just so stupid. , but please don’t ignore me, I’m your adjutant!”

Tang Long couldn’t help but stunned when he heard this. He poked his ears and said, “What did you say? Whose adjutant do you say you are?”

Beauty Ling Li was a little scared and a little flinched and said, “I said… I’m your adjutant.” After saying that, she seemed to remember something and took out a card from the tightly taut watch pocket on her chest. Holding it respectfully to Tang Long. Looking at her like this is like a little girl who has done bad things, the expression on her face when she is discovered by an adult she is afraid of.

Tang Long was stunned when he heard this. He was a pilot, so he would have an adjutant? What does a pilot with an adjutant do? Although his head was thinking wildly, he still took the card with his body temperature and pressed the button below the card, and a line of three-dimensional text appeared like this: “I hereby appoint Second Lieutenant Ling Li with Soldier Number XXXX to Captain Tang Long with Soldier Number XXXXX. The direct adjutant of , and the appointment will be effective immediately after it is issued. Wanluo Federation Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Command.”

Tang Long froze again when he saw the year, month, and day displayed later, because this day was the same day that he was promoted to captain. What does it mean to be able to make a new appointment in such a timely manner? And was this woman sent by the headquarters for no reason, or was this woman requested by herself? If this is the case, it means that this Ling Li is very well-mannered in the upper echelons of the army. Regardless of this, why did this person become his adjutant?

Tang Long immediately had two thoughts in his mind: Should he be wagging his tail to curry favor with this woman? Or coldly scold her for any tricks?

Seeing the woman looking at him with pitiful eyes, Tang Long frowned. He couldn’t stand this kind of eyes the most. Seeing such a look, the two thoughts in Tang Long’s mind flew somewhere. Now he can only speak on his own instinct: “What happened? I’m a pilot, does the pilot have an adjutant?”

Beauty Ling Li blinked her long eyelashes, stared innocently in her eyes and said a little scared: “I…I don’t know, but sir, I…I’m really happy to be your adjutant. “Seeing Tang Long scratching his head at a loss, she lowered her head and secretly stuck out her tongue.

Tang Long didn’t believe her words, but he had no choice but to give the card back to the beauty, otherwise what else could he do? If you want to refuse, you can only use the communicator to make a request when you go to the base, but seeing that the headquarters makes such an appointment all at once, your request will definitely be rejected 100%.

Tang Long, who didn’t want to waste time, turned around and walked towards the floating car. Although he didn’t know that this woman became his adjutant under the circumstances, this might be a starting point for him to gain power. Although Tang Long has secretly decided to make good use of this woman, who knows if he can keep this decision?

Ling Li saw Tang Long walking towards the floating car with a sullen face and a confused look in her eyes. She said to herself, “How handsome! How cool.” Of course, she immediately shook her head to return to normal, and took a few steps to catch up.

“I’ll drive, you show the way.” Tang Long said coldly and sat in the cab. Ling Li was stunned for a moment, but immediately sat in the assistant’s seat with a happy face.

Tang Long, who was wearing the seat belt, saw the steering wheel and the electronic instrument, and couldn’t help but secretly rejoiced: “Wow, the control system that I have never seen before is definitely new!” Although this is a new driving system, it is not enough For Tang Long of the speeding game, isn’t he familiar with it just by touching it?

Tang Long hung up the stall and was about to remind Ling Li to sit down, when he suddenly found that Ling Li was staring at him as blankly as before. Frowning his brows and touching his face, he thought, “What is this guy doing? He’s been staring at me like this since just now, is there something on my face?” Tang Long carefully started the floating car while thinking.

When the car entered the grass, Ling Li, who had been staring at Tang Long, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “Sir… I have a request… I hope you will grant it.” He lowered his head with a flushed face.

Glancing at Ling Li, Tang Long thought to himself, “Finally, let’s see what tricks you have.” So Tang Long said, “Let’s hear it.”

“I…I…” Ling Li stammered for a while, and finally gathered up the courage to hold a piece of cardboard and said, “Please sign my name for me!”

The floating car braked suddenly and made two laps at the same time. Tang Long took a breath while holding the steering wheel, turned his head and asked Ling Li, who was already dizzy but still clutching the signature board, and asked in surprise, “Signature? What’s your signature?”

“Ugh…” Ling Li shook her head and said laboriously, “Please make sure to write: To my adjutant, Second Lieutenant Ling Li.” Saying that, despite adjusting her body leaning against the car door, she handed over the signature board again. come over.

“Uh…” Tang Long originally thought he was going to sign some kind of contract, but after finding out that it was just a simple signature, he could only stare at Ling Li in stunned eyes. Being stared at by Ling Li’s radiant eyes, Tang Long felt furious in his heart for some reason. Seeing that Ling Li’s eyes started to turn red and there was water mist, Tang Long was so frightened that he hurriedly took over the signature pad, pulled out the electronic pen on the signature pad, and quickly wrote the words that Ling Li asked for, and then suddenly Hand it back to Ling Li.

Ling Li took the signature board and glanced at it, then hugged it tightly in her arms, closed her eyes and said happily, “Thank you, I will treasure it forever!”

Tang Long sighed and shook his head helplessly, started the floating car, and started slowly. At this time, Tang Long glanced at Ling Li, who was wiping his eyes with his head down, and asked, “Second lieutenant, is my signature so precious? I’m not a star.”

When Ling Li heard this, she gave Tang Long a blushing look, but quickly lowered her head and said in an ant-like voice, “Maybe the signature of the officer is not important to others, but to Ling Li it is irreplaceable. treasure!”

“I don’t seem to have met you, how could you be willing to be my adjutant?” Tang Long asked while driving slowly. Although he heard the second lieutenant’s whisper just now, he didn’t want to ask this question.

The lieutenant was silent, but she lowered her head lower, and her ears were as red as her bright hair.

Tang Long sighed helplessly, why did he meet such a weird second lieutenant as soon as he came here? Suddenly Tang Long remembered that he didn’t know how to get to the camp at all, and hurriedly asked, “Which direction are we going?”

After hearing Tang Long’s words, Ling Li raised her head and glanced shyly at Tang Long. After entering a number on the console computer, a bright spot appeared on the windshield.

Knowing the target, Tang Long suddenly increased the speed of the car in order to leave this strange woman early. Of course, Ling Li screamed in fright and fastened her seat belt in a panic. Tang Long, who was immersed in the speed, did not see Ling Li, who had a very flustered expression, and there was an expression in his eyes that did not match his expression, which is a kind of look that only looks at interesting things.
