The size of the small starship is small, the space is not enough, and the training places for the soldiers are limited. One-third of the year is spent on the ground training at the Gamma military base, and the rest of the time is followed by the main ship of the sixth team. Cruising in the vastness of space.
Unlike mobile troops, the main ship is huge and is the overlord in space. Like a mobile city fortress, a main ship has tens of thousands of soldiers. The Xingtian ship is the heart of the entire Golden Cross. There are nearly one hundred thousand.
Now Ryan is one of them.
The five generals of the empire are stationed in the five directions of the territory. After the war with the Zerg four months ago, the Golden Crusaders have been repaired and will soon go to the garrison area.
Led by the Xingtian ship, and the Ares and Athena ships as the deputy, the mighty army set out from the port and headed for the designated coordinates.
Ryan stood at the window, watching the Gamma military base get farther and farther away, and finally became one of the many stars in space.
"What is Ryan looking at, we are going to gather."
Ryan put on his hat and said in response, "Understood, come right away."
Ryan became a member of the Xingtian Ship's logistics mechanical repair team 16. There are fifty people in the team, and five people form a group. Ryan's team leader is a strong man with a height of two meters. The person who called him just now is Amy, who is the team leader. a member.
Ryan walked quickly to the corner, and Amy with blond hair was waiting there, "You are newly transferred, and the road must be unfamiliar, I will wait for you, and we will gather later. If you get lost and miss the meeting time, you must be punished."
"Thank you," Ryan said gratefully.
After entering Xingtian Ship for three days, he looked at the map of Xingtian Ship many times, and read many rules and regulations of Xingtian Ship, but after all, it will take a while for him to be fully familiar with the terrain when he is new here. The meeting point is the training ground on the top floor, which is usually only used by mech warriors and their restorers.
Ryan and Amy walked there, and met many soldiers along the way, both men and women, all wearing dark green military uniforms, and they could identify their departments and ranks by the armbands on their shoulders and the collar patches on their collars.
When you get out of the elevator, you enter an open and vast space. There are mechs lined up against the wall, majestic, solemn, and daunting.
That is the mecha that Ryan is eager to get in touch with. He is teaching himself mecha repair. In August of this year, there will be a first-level mecha restorer exam in three months. He has already signed up. Once he passes, he can apply to the leader, maybe He can be transferred to the mecha repair team, maybe he, he can even become General Dalton's exclusive restorer.
Well, he was just wishful thinking.
The general's mecha restorer is the top five-star restorer in the empire, and he, who entered the Xingtian ship with a nepotism, is no match at all.
"Why are you in a daze, return to the team." Amy grabbed Ryan to stop him from being dazed.
Ryan quickly adjusted his state, cleaned up his emotions, and followed Amy into the team, which was at the end of the entire queue, very far away from the ship platform.
On the platform, General Dalton and several senior colonels were already standing.
When the assembly time came, everyone was quiet, and Dalton stepped forward to speak.
He seems to have lost weight.
Ryan looked at the man on the high platform far away, and felt that he was thinner, his flexible waist was much thinner, and his face seemed a little pale.
What happened recently, why does the brow look a little tired.
"Fight for the Empire, fight for the Empire."
With the majestic voice, Ryan suddenly woke up, quickly covered up his chaotic thoughts, and shouted.
After the assembly, Ryan followed Amy to the elevator entrance step by step and turned his head three times. On the other side of the high platform, General Dalton and others had turned and left, and he could not see it.
"Do you feel that the general is a little tired?"
"What are you talking about." Amy looked at Ryan inexplicably, "That's our commander, the youngest general in the empire, a man of steel, how can he be tired."
"But he's a human being." Ryan said stubbornly, feeling sorry for the man who was aloft and mythical.
"Yes, of course it is a human being, but the general is different from us. He has a strong will, superb ability, and much stronger endurance than us. He will definitely not get tired. Many things are a piece of cake for him." Amy Grabbing Ryan's arm, he hurried forward, "Let's go, I just went to the restaurant for dinner. Enjoy the last leisure time, start tomorrow, group training in the morning, group training in the afternoon, keep in the status, there is no possibility of slack."
The meals in Xingtianjian restaurant are quite different from those in the small starship. There are more varieties and better taste. The vegetables are still very fresh, as if they were picked from the branches before cooking.
Amy told him that it was because there were greenhouses on the ship.
"If you want, you can buy a planting cabin, one square meter or two square meters. It's good to use in the dormitory. It doesn't matter on the ship." Before the two separated, Amy told Ryan: "Anyway, you live alone, there is a lot of space, so don't waste it. There are very few fruits on the ship, and there are only a few types. You can grow them yourself and eat whatever you want. 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 shared by two people. But Ryan was allocated a single dormitory. According to the clerk of the logistics dormitory, it was because he happened to be an odd number and could not get two people to 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 over tonight.
Ryan knew who it was.
He thought, a dormitory for one person is really convenient.
Open the dormitory with iris, Ryan walked in, the door closed slowly behind him, inside was a space of 20 square meters, with a double bed, a wardrobe on one side against the wall, a table on the other side, etc., as well as a separate bathroom and Simple kitchen. The furnishings are simple and there is no personal color for the time being.
Ryan stared blankly for a while before going to take a bath to prepare. Sometimes he thought that he was really like a concubine summoned by the emperor in ancient times. What is gratifying is that the emperor currently has only one concubine.
Coming out of the bathroom, Ryan saw the people outside stunned, "General, you are here."
Oston was dressed in casual clothes. Compared with the cold military uniform, it looked much softer, and at the same time it couldn't hide his tiredness.
"Hmm." Alston didn't want to speak, he fiddled with a fresh-keeping box on the table unconsciously with his fingers.
Ryan hurried over and took the crisper.
"Sorry." Alston said with his hand back.
Ryan was annoyed, he was too reckless. "No, it's not..." Well, he was talking about something. Open the crisper, revealing white strawberries with powder, "The strawberries bred by my parents through several generations of genetic improvement, creamy strawberries, taste very good, I brought them here for you to taste."
Ryan said in embarrassment: "It tastes the best just off the branch, but now it's been a long time, and it's not as fresh and delicious as it was at the beginning."
Strawberries are not easy to preserve. Even if the crisper can extend the freshness of strawberries by 15 days, they are still different from those 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." Alston took a strawberry and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste filled his mouth in an instant. The rich strawberry fragrance can sweep away the depression in his heart. Creamy taste that doesn't steal the show, "It's delicious."
"As long as you like it." Ryan relieved his heart.
Oston was eating strawberries, and Ryan watched him eating strawberries, and the room fell silent for a while. The two statuses, backgrounds, etc. are not similar, there is no intersection in life and work, and 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 still have to face it in the end.
No matter how much it is, isn't it all for the creation of the atmosphere before, it's better to do it simply and neatly.
Alston put down the strawberry and lowered his eyelids. His long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly. The dark shadows in his eyes made him look a little fragile at the moment, and he couldn't connect with the high-ranking young general.
"let's start."
Ryan pursed his lips, unable to refute.
··Brain·Replenishing··
Ryan was working hard, panting heavily, and he had only used one or two out of ten of the various skills he had made recently. No matter how many theoretical skills you read, it is still not enough when you use them, and when you do it, your mind is blank, and you often act according to your instincts.
Ryan wanted to ask Orston how he felt, and if he felt uncomfortable there, he could change it. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Oston under him frowning, closing his eyes, biting his lips tightly, and enduring all Ryan's movements. Ryan's hot heart suddenly turned cold, and I will explain it below.
Auston, who had blushed a little more on his cheeks, let out a sigh of relief, and slowly loosened his fists with the hands on both sides of his body.
Ryan withdrew, curled up at the end of the bed like a defeated young lion.
Auston sat up on the bed reluctantly, frowned slightly, endured the discomfort in his body and began to put on his clothes. He said, "I will notify you in seven days."
Ryan raised his head and looked at him suddenly, his expression was ferocious for a moment, his eyes touched Oston's calm face, all the questions in his heart turned into nothingness, and he thought to himself: I am just a tool for reproduction tasks, why are you talking about feelings with me? .
Seeing Oston stand up staggeringly, Ryan rushed to help him, "Or, you can rest here."
"No need, I still have work to do." Alston said wearily, probably the person who was still together just now, his weakness was shown in front of this young man for a short time.
"You..." Ryan was not qualified to stop him, so he could only say, "Take a good rest, I see a bruise on your waist, I dare not touch it, why didn't you ask the medical officer to treat it?"
"This injury can't be cured in a short time." Oston glanced at the time, it was almost time, and he should be leaving.
Ryan watched Alston leave helplessly, like a young daughter-in-law who had been thrown into a palace.
"He should hate me and just endure it for the sake of having offspring."
Ryan guessed sadly.
From the second day on, Ryan started his daily training in Xingtian Ship, with 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 via Skynet.
"Little cook is still used to it, haha, our training is very hard." A tall and burly team member laughed at Ryan, who was much shorter than him.
Ryan was not annoyed, he was in a hurry to contact his cousin, "It's okay, it's okay."
"What's wrong with the cook, look down on those who cook for us, be careful that the chef won't cook for you in the future." Amy retorted, no matter where she is, she is a bully, if you don't show your momentum at this time, you will be stepped on underfoot. "Ryan is very physically fit. He ran the 1,000 meters in 1 minute and 50 seconds. He is the first place in our team."
"What's the point of not running fast." The burly man laughed, "A soldier must have a strong overall quality. His body is like a chicken, and he can't lift four hundred catties."
"Cut, no, Ryan can lift five hundred catties." Amy stretched out a finger, "It's also number one."
Ryan's physical fitness is really good. He has been busy in the kitchen for ten years in the army, and he has not relaxed his management at all.
In the interstellar era, the physical fitness of genetically modified humans has been greatly improved, which cannot be measured by the standards of ancient humans.
"What's wrong with being strong, but also have good coordination." The burly man continued to mutter, and a friend had already pulled him, telling him to say a few words, but the guy with a brain full of muscles 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 there are more and more complicated items.
The Xingtian ship is worthy of being the main ship, and the training intensity on the first day of returning to the team was very high.
Ryan cheers on himself, and will not be able to relax in the future.
The small dispute here in the restaurant has attracted more or less attention from everyone, and the big man felt his face was dull, "Accident, how can a cook have such good grades, it must be an accident. I will compete with you tomorrow... "
The big man was dragged away by his companions, and if he keeps it, he will be humiliating himself. All the grades are made by himself, and the instructor will not let any water go. Questioning Ryan's grades is not the same as questioning the instructor's character. If the instructor knows it, he will definitely Lesson learned.
"Huh, Ryan, you can't be too good-tempered. What if someone else rides on the head." Amy folded her arms and hummed, staring back at all the peeping eyes around her. What are you looking at? I've never seen it so powerful. newcomer! Complacent in his heart, "You are amazing. Our team has always been at the bottom. You can rewrite our fate when you come here. You haven't seen the appearance of the team leader. You are walking like a float."
"Fortunately, everyone is working hard, I still have to work hard."
"Don't be so humble, the military is a place where fists speak."
"Yeah, my fists are also very hard." Ryan was used to being in the kitchen, and he really forgot that the army is based on strength.
"Stop talking, I'm going to the bathroom."
"What about dinner?" said Amy.
Ryan thought for a while, "You help me get it first, whatever you eat, just help me get it, I'll be right there."
"Okay." Amy looked at the back of Ryan leaving in a hurry, and said enviously, "What a dynamic newcomer."
Newcomer Ryan found an empty toilet seat and shrank in, and sent a message to his cousin who was far away in E69. Xing Tianjian had a clear statement that all personal information exchanges would be monitored, so he didn't dare to say it clearly, he could only give it vaguely. Cousin sent a message.
"Cousin help, he has been enduring that time."
Cousin is dedicated to guarding the Internet, and the message was quickly returned, "You have already gone to the army, you met him, is he your leader?"
Ryan: "..." The brain supplement expert's analysis is correct every time.
Ryan: "Answer my question."
"Baby, you have to be gentle and considerate on the bed, and you should not only have actions but also words. What are you doing with a long mouth? It makes you flirt."
"...you are so good at flirting, and you are not married."
"I'm disillusioned with the world of mortals, as long as fate is destined."
Ryan sent an aggrieved expression, "He has been enduring the whole process, frowning unhappy, does he hate me?"
"How come, our baby Ryan is a handsome guy, who doesn't like it." Connor sent a message, and attached his own analysis, "Could it be that he doesn't know what doing AI is at all? Maybe he has been His life is rigid and boring. No one tells him what love is, and he doesn’t know what happiness is. Try it next time, talk more during the process, interact with each other, what do you want your fingers to do, let you touch Yes."
Ryan suddenly realized, "I know, I will work hard."
