Oston's dining etiquette is the best Ryan has ever seen, and he really likes to eat the belly of the blue ribbon swordfish. The small strip of jelly-like fat will produce subtle changes after frying, and the taste will change. It is crispy, and just a little salt seasoning can stimulate its own deliciousness.
Ryan took a sip and pushed them all to Auston for him to eat.
"Let's eat together."
Ryan smiled and said: "You eat, I like to watch you eat." Ryan felt that he must be like his father at this moment, a gentle husband who would watch his wife eat, and his wife would try to give what she liked, and watch him eat If you are happy, you will be happy.
Auston was a little dazed, this feeling was too strange to him.
After eating, Auston had no reason to stay any longer and had to return to his post. Standing at the door, Orston pointed outside and said, "I'm leaving."
Ryan pursed his lips, knowing that Auston had a great responsibility, and he couldn't keep him anymore. It was already beautiful to be able to spend the whole night together warmly.
"I, I'll send you off." Ryan looked at Auston eagerly, as if he had returned to middle school, the desire and expectation of the ignorant period of youth.
Auston said awkwardly: "We..."
"Oh, I know, I know." Ryan immediately came to his senses and said reasonably, "It's okay, I'll just watch you leave."
Auston chuckled, "Yeah."
Turning around and about to leave, Ryan shouted, "Wait."
Austin: "Huh?"
Ryan quickly stepped forward and kissed Auston on the lips, "Farewell kiss."
Alston was stunned. There used to be such a kiss in their family, but after his mother left, there was no more.
Ryan: "You need me, come again." He is there anytime, anywhere, not only giving physical intimacy, he is also very good at other things.
"Okay." Alston hesitated for two or three seconds, took a step towards Ryan, leaned over and kissed Ryan on the cheek, "Goodbye."
Ryan touched the place where he was kissed, and smiled foolishly. He didn't know when Auston left.
"Very good progress." Ryan clenched his fist, "Keep working hard."
They are working hard not only on relationship, but also on work. The group training in the afternoon is training and an important part of work. As the logistics mechanical repair department, they need to repair a lot of things, as small as a chef machine in the kitchen, as large as Throughout the Xingtian Ship, they are there wherever they are needed.
Ryan's team is responsible for repairing some of the weapons on the ship. This is a thankless job, because it is difficult for these damaged weapons to be equipped with soldiers. After repairing, they are just piled up in the warehouse, waiting for the Xingtian ship to return and unload to the ground. military base.
As for the whereabouts of these things after they arrive at the military base, it is not what Ryan and the others need to know. In any case, they will not do things that endanger the interests of the country.
In the corner of the huge warehouse, Ryan and several other team members are repairing weapons together. He is holding a disc-like thing in his hand. The slot can be filled with ammunition, and when thrown out, it can fire 300 rounds per second.
"The card slot is broken here, and the ejection device needs to be replaced." Ryan said to himself.
"It's so boring. We might not be able to fix this pile of things when the Xingtian ship returns." Amy lay down bored, staring blankly at the metal top surface, and the white light of the ceiling lamp made people dizzy Drowsy, "Let's leave this thankless job to us. Those soldiers are too rude, don't you know how to take good care of your weapons? Why are they broken so much?!"
"The weapons piled up here are all ordinary goods, distributed by the empire uniformly, and there is not much money in reselling them." A team member said so.
"Yeah, I heard that the annual military expenditure is only a little, and 100 million star coins will send us the Golden Cross. This is not even enough for the maintenance of the Athena ship for a whole year, let alone the Xingtian ship. The command every year In order to raise enough military funds, we have to rack our brains."
Ryan stopped his hands, he knew this matter, not only their Golden Cross, but several other generals faced the same difficulty, and they were heartbroken in order to raise military expenses. There are voices in the country to abolish the number of troops and cut military spending, and the other two countries are still booing. Now the imperial conservatives occupy the top spot, advocating austerity policies, and their attitude towards imperial soldiers is not friendly.
"Which one is defending the country?"
"Who is fighting in the bloody battle?"
"I really thought peace was born with me!"
"Under the lights of thousands of families in the empire, it's not that a large number of soldiers are marching forward with heavy loads."
Everyone complained, and the team leader, who was as strong as a bear, didn't stop them. There were many such private complaints, and everyone was dissatisfied with the harsh treatment of their generals by the empire.
A few months ago, General Dalton encountered the Zerg army while patrolling the border, and started a desperate fight. The general took the lead and went deep into the Zerg hinterland, strangled countless Zergs, and then blocked the Zerg invasion at the border. , without threatening the depths of the motherland.
However, the general who had lived and died several times did not get the reward he deserved. According to his seniority and military exploits in defeating the Zerg, General Dalton should be promoted from admiral to the youngest general in the empire.
Whenever this time, Ryan is very powerless, the gap between him and Auston is like the deep sea of the Milky Way, it is too big.
"Can I take these loose change?" Ryan took a few parts and asked the team leader who had been working silently.
The team leader looked at what Ryan was holding with brown eyes, "You want a small mecha for your team leader?"
"Well." Ryan said: "Make an arm-high one. I see some parts in the warehouse can be used. Can I take it away?"
"Yes." The team leader raised his head, and his eyes couldn't get past the piles of mechanical waste. There are a lot of things that can be used here, but not many people are willing to take the components from here to use, because there are already damaged waste, and some are barely. There is no value in repairing it.
It's good to be able to take it away. Ryan asked, "Do I need to pay star coins?"
"No need, just fill out a form when you go out."
"I see, thank you team leader."
As a mecha enthusiast, someone who is about to take the exam and is likely to pass the exam to become a quasi-mecha restorer, he needs to have a comprehensive understanding of mechas. It is not difficult for his team leader to create a simplified version. enough components.
"Dididi—"
Everyone's personal terminals rang, and everyone called up the information to check. It was a unified message from the headquarters.
"There are still 30,000 light-years to reach planet U167, and we can finally go down to earth." Amy cheered, "I don't know what is in this planet, but it is all water like the previous one, so there is nothing to do. I need land, I need green plants, I need sunlight."
"You are a plant!"
Amy said lazily, "Almost."
In the vast territory of the empire, there are still many planets that humans have not explored. The main task of the legion stationed at the border is to defend the country, but also to explore unknown planets and find available resources.
"Thirty thousand light years... According to the current speed of Xingtian Ship, it can arrive tomorrow morning."
"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and I don't need to rush over." Amy poked Ryan with her elbow, "What are you doing with so many parts?"
See, that's the difference between a team leader and a team member.
The team leader knew what Ryan was going to do at a glance, but Amy just saw a mess of parts.
"Make a small mecha."
Amy flipped through the parts curiously, "Toys for children, do you have children at home?"
Ryan pursed his lips and smiled, there will be some in the near future, "Make it first."
"Lian is such a good father. He wanted to make toys for children before he got married. It's amazing."
Ryan's marriage status is high density, and few people on the ship know about it.
After filling out the form, Ryan moved these things back first. The miniature mecha is not much easier to make than the full-sized one. What he made is not a real toy, but a real toy that can be manipulated, has self-defense functions, and can fight. The mecha is also of great help to him in the exam.
The parts I got now are only a small part, and the small mecha needs to be completed, and Ryan still needs to rummage through the "garbage dump" several times.
Time passed by in a busy way. When the lights on the ship were on, Ryan had already put on his combat uniform and came to the square to gather. On the huge screen in front of him, the appearance of U167 had been projected, which was a blue planet similar to the parent star. , with a lot of green coverage.
As soon as the screen turned, more than a dozen mechas appeared. The leader was General Dalton's code-named zero. The mechas were tens of meters high, with strong steel muscles, and guns on their backs. They were tall and mighty, black. The coating makes it as unfathomable as the deep and mysterious universe itself.
There is an AI in the mecha, and it has already controlled the mecha to kneel down on one knee. Auston, who was wearing a combat uniform, jumped into the cockpit a few times, and there were other people acting at the same time as him. The hatch of Xingtian Ship opened, and led by the code-named Zero, they filed out, aiming at U167 not far away.
The picture on the screen changed again, and it became the environment outside the Xingtian Ship. Sixty frigates surrounded the Xingtian Ship. Although the entire fleet was silent, there was a silent threat to deter all directions.
Ryan watched with a surge of emotion, wanting to fight side by side with Auston.
The screen freezes, and the deputy captain on the high platform begins to state the mission.
Ryan, who has calmed down his excitement, listened carefully. Their logistics machinery department is operating together with the ground action team. Ryan's team is operating with the 88th action team, which is responsible for the Z area of the planet U167 (59°26' to 99°03 north latitude) ', 135°25' to 179°30' E).
On board the small spacecraft, Ryan saw the action team that was about to act together. The men were over 1.8 meters tall and the women were over 1.75 meters tall. They were all tall, long-legged and extremely tall fighters, a total of 50 people.
"My name is Jimmy, and I'm the captain of this team. When I get to the ground, listen to my command." A man with a scar running through his left eye came out with a hideous smile. He had already divided his team into groups. Members of the squad.
The fighters of the action team are in groups of ten, and each group is equipped with a mechanical restorer.
"We will protect your safety, don't worry." Captain Jimmy and the team leader are obviously acquaintances. Of course, his team invited the team leader to go. After a lot of comments, the division was determined.
Amy was so angry that she would have to tear it up if Ryan hadn't stopped her. But Ryan shook his head. It's useless for them to quarrel with little people. The team leader is taciturn and does not seek welfare, so the team members will not be respected.
"If you want to change, you don't just argue with your mouth." Ryan said calmly.
"Aren't you angry?" Amy turned herself into a puffer fish.
Ryan said: "I am angry, but I will not quarrel impulsively, but find ways to reverse the situation. The team leader isolates the whole world, does not care about himself or others, and we can only change ourselves. Amy, it's no use arguing."
Amy was discouraged, "I don't know what's wrong with the team leader, he's getting more and more silent, he only works by touch, alas."
Amy looked out the window, the blue planet was getting closer and closer, many spaceships were driving around, and their target was not far away.
"I don't know if Auston has entered the planet?" He thought in his heart.
