The roving Yushi-class cruiser with the temporary name "Red Tiger" has currently deployed its first layer of shields and is slowly wandering in the universe, like a barracuda surrounded by bubbles.
Her opponent is on standby in the airspace more than 30,000 kilometers away. In space warfare, this can almost be regarded as a face-to-face fight. However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Overall, this exercise
Although it is under the banner of "actual combat", in the final analysis it is still a "program" part of the naval celebration. Only a closer battle can allow the big shots on the Azul Princess to see clearly, 200,000 kilometers away.
In short, the exercise director made the rules very clear at the beginning.
First of all, the battle lasts only one hour. Once an hour has passed and there is no victory by sinking or ganging up, the victory or defeat of the battle will be announced by points. This is understandable for Yu Lian. You can’t really expect the audience to watch everyone fight against each other.
All day?
It would be a great honor to have them watch a ship duel with the same patience as watching movies and dramas.
Moreover, in real actual combat, even if there are single-ship encounters with warships of the same specifications, they basically occur under circumstances such as breaking diplomatic relations, hunting, and penetrating behind enemy lines after the all-out war has begun.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for both sides to have the ideas and conditions for a protracted war.
Secondly, the airspace within the combat range is limited. There is only such a spherical airspace with a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Of course, the external statement is for safety reasons. If the students really want to die, they will drive the ship too far.
Danger occurs, one's own side may not be able to rescue, etc.
Although the words are high-sounding, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to make the big shots feel comfortable?
Although the battle situation will be broadcast in a timely manner, if the red and blue beams of red and blue beams dancing in the distant starry sky, the roar and flash of light clusters and missiles cannot be seen with the naked eye, the atmosphere will always be spoiled.
This is a bit hard for Yu Lian to accept. After all, we are still fighting, and we don’t even have the freedom to be killed anywhere?
But since you have agreed to the exercise director's department, you have to get things done! It's not just him, a large group of friends on the ship have worked hard for so long, isn't it just for this day? They are not just for the so-called youth, but also
The most realistic appeal. For the vast majority of the crew members on the red ship, this battle may be the only chance for them to show their faces.
Yu Lian looked at the direction of the blue ship in the distance, as if he wanted to see clearly the other party's condition with his naked eyes. But in fact, in the vast sky, even with his second-ring psyker's eyesight, he could only
You can see a little light flashing.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Liuli say: "The other party's communication has arrived, can you get through it?"
Yu Lian tightened his collar, took his seat in the captain's seat, and then said: "Let's put it through."
Horatio Wayne appeared on the screen in a neat military uniform, meticulous, with a serious face, an arrogant demeanor, and a domineering look. It must be admitted that just standing there, this guy looked more like a captain than Yu Lian.
No, he is not just the captain of a ship with hundreds of people. Although this guy is young, it would not be inappropriate to say that he is commanding thousands of troops just because of his aura. He just has such charm.
Although commanders of the Grand Fleet in their twenties are rare, they are not unheard of.
He looked directly at Yu Lian seriously, his eyes sharp and full of courage, as if he wanted to use his face to force the red party to surrender.
"I hope it will be a good victory or defeat!" After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice.
"Definitely!" Yu Lian laughed, and then said loudly: "Then, the Red Tiger and all its crew are waiting for your bombardment!"
Everyone on the bridge wanted to bury their heads under the table and was filled with grief and anger. This was naturally due to the shameful name of the ship.
Seeing that everyone on the red side would get a demoralized debff at the beginning because of the captain's taste, the cheeks full of Wayne twitched, and then loudly said: "All the crew members on the Blue King are waiting for you.
charge!"
Wayne turned off the communication without any explanation. Immediately afterwards, Yu Lian could feel the morale of everyone on the bridge increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Look, bad taste is better than being sick. This is the power of the law of cause and effect weapon! I bet that the crew of the blue team is already under low pressure." Yu Lian said to everyone. As a result, the communication within the entire ship
The channel burst into laughter, and everyone became happy and excited.
Half a minute later, a communication came from the director's department, reminding them that the battle was about to begin.
"After starting, immediately switch to the second combat speed! Start according to the march plan B!" Yu Lian said loudly: "Also, the ion main gun starts charging!"
"Keep Paul's team on standby! Ready to eject at any time!"
Yu Lian gave the following orders in an orderly manner. He believed that the rhythm of Wayne on the opposite side must be similar to his.
Both sides started their main engines at almost the same moment and prepared for action. But at this time, a small episode occurred.
Edelweiss, who was dancing to Serena's song just now, was still hanging around the Blue Princess. When she saw the engine halo of the red and blue battleship in the distance, she suddenly let out a cheerful laugh, just like that.
directed at
"Traitor!" Serena Maho, who had just walked towards the stage, stared at the little whale going away expressionlessly, and whispered: "This is the second time."
Feifei, who was waiting in the audience, heard this voice and couldn't help crying or laughing.
"Sorry, Serena." Feifei said.
Serena turned back, not knowing why, and tilted her head to look at the latter.
"When it's over, I'll treat you to ice cream." Feifei smiled again and said, "There is a very good shop on this ship."
Serena swallowed, and her face, as plain as a clear spring, finally showed the vividness that belonged to her age group. However, when she looked at the agent who was walking towards her in the distance, she couldn't help but curl her lips.
.
"I don't want to hear her nagging!" Serena said.
"Don't worry, I have a hundred ways to get rid of her." Feifei suppressed her laughter and held Serena's hand and whispered. The latter's eyes once again had a halo like stars.
"Fina, we're going on stage!" Someone from a distance waved to Fina. It was Laura Xia, the first host of the celebration, a well-known media person in the community, and one of Feifei's idols.
Ms. Er.
Feifei left Serena with a smile that made the other party look forward to it, and walked over to prepare to go on stage.
President Noxham clapped in a routine, but kept watching Serena's back with hidden, eager and reluctant eyes until she left the venue hall.
"Mr. President..." Nishita reminded him in a low voice behind him.
"Oh, oh!" The president came back to his senses, and his face seamlessly switched to a diplomatic expression full of expectation: "The next step is the performance of our brave young people, right? Well, Edelweiss will not cause
What's the obstacle?"
"Don't worry, they won't fail to consider this kind of thing." The chairman smiled.
Just when Edelweiss was about to enter the battlefield, two engineering ships blocked his way. The exercise director and the celebration organizer were not so stupid that they could not even consider this issue, so they were certainly prepared.
One of the ships lit up various colored lights, creating a gorgeous scene in the universe, which finally diverted Edelweiss's attention.
Another engineering ship opened its belly and threw a series of food boxes wrapped in synthetic materials into the universe.
The food is mainly meat and nutritious feed prepared with high carbohydrates and high vitamins. The outer material is made of various metals, silicon, carbon and other elements, which is also one of the foods of Edelweiss.
Yes, this kind of space Leviathan creature that can travel in space, in addition to nourishing itself through the energy of stars, can also eat itself. The diet not only contains the protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc. required by normal organisms, but also
Contains a lot of unusual elements.
To put it bluntly, although they are big, they are actually quite easy to feed. In theory, they can survive by eating rocks. Of course, eating meat will make them feel happy and grow better.
All in all, the two engineering ships, like nannies with toys and snacks, finally took away the little ancestor who was loved by all the people of Blue Star.
Then, as the engines of the red and blue sides started smoothly and entered combat mode, the scene in the venue became lively again.
Serena Mao, who had just returned to the lounge, was sitting in the lounge with a bored look on her face, exuding a salty aura that was incompatible with the entire ship. Her eyes were dull, her mind was wandering, and all her thoughts were gone.
We arrived at the ice cream appointment we had made with Feifei.
"According to the statistics just now, when you came on stage, the number of viewers exceeded 20 billion, a direct increase of 10%. Serena, with such popularity and influence, even in the league, you must be the most
The red ones!" the agent said with an excited tone.
"Oh..." The young singer still expressed his attitude in a tone with almost no ups and downs.
The agent sighed helplessly and said: "The head office has contacted me and I hope you can reconsider and put the development center of your activities in the league in the future."
"Really?" She still had the same attitude, neither cold nor hot, as if except singing, everything around her had nothing to do with her.
"In addition, at the head office... although we also know that they are all groundless rumors, they will have a certain impact after all. We also hope that you can specifically refute the rumors. Also, try to avoid going out alone in the future. I
I believe President Noxham will understand."
Serena Mayo crossed her eyes and seemed to have finally regained a little bit of her energy. She stood up slowly and took a deep breath, lukewarmly: "I want to go out for a walk."
"Ah, this, aunt, here is a ship..."
"Cruise ship! There is a park, a swimming pool, and a commercial street." She said.
"Do you still want to go shopping?" The agent's voice rose an octave, but at this time, the girl was already yawning and slowly walked to the door.
Fortunately, this talented and beautiful singer who is famous in the galaxy is not too neurotic. At least she is wearing a very inconspicuous sportswear, and puts her long hair into a ponytail under the hood.
Then he put on sunglasses that covered half of his face and went out.
The agent lady knew that this little aunt was such a virtuous person, and there was nothing she could do to stop her. She waved her hand helplessly, and two machines the size of Frisbees followed closely.
When Serena goes out for a walk, the most annoying thing is that someone is following her. Fortunately, there are always bodyguard robots in this world. Although their intelligence is not high, their combat effectiveness is still very high. At least they can defeat ordinary stalkers and paparazzi.
It's okay to call the police or something like that for a gangster.
Moreover, these two bodyguard robots designed in the shape of Frisbees actually look quite cute and are somewhat acceptable to girls.
"The Fairy of the Stars", Miss Serena Mayo really just comes out and walks around. This is also her habit after every performance, and she usually walks aimlessly for an hour or two.
While walking, she completely let go of her spirit. Probably because her small body contains so much explosive power, she needs to recharge it all the time.
The Azure Princess is also one of the largest ultra-luxury cruise ships in the entire galaxy. It is as big as a city, and the facilities on it are also very complete. It is not so much a cruise ship as it is a super large space city, not to mention
There are dome parks and swimming pools, even theme parks and residential areas.
The so-called residential area on this ship is a large area of high-end dome villas, with a total of two to three thousand. Some dignitaries think that living on a big ship and cruising the stars every day is a very elegant vacation activity, so they directly buy
After leaving the villa above, we always come to stay for two or three months every year. Not only from the community, there are also many wealthy businessmen and guests from foreign countries.
The Blue Princess is very big, and it’s really big enough for a singer lady to hang around.
Serena Mayo is not tall, but her walking speed is not slow either. It feels more like a race than a walk. This is actually one of her "quirks".
As she walked, her eyes were still as if she were wandering. But in fact, at this time, she was really rarely thinking about something.
"I, I'm sorry for you. But, I also have my own reasons!"
"Thank you, thank you for being willing to come out to have dinner with me. From now on, can you come out once a week, no, once a month! This is my only request! Please, Serena!"
"...Serena, my little moon, wait until the election next year. Then I can openly admit your existence!"
She frowned a little irritably, slowed down a little, and walked slowly through the commercial street. For security reasons, the place was actually closed. Then, she turned back at a faster speed, looking at it eagerly.
There was an ice cream shop with the door half closed.
"The Elf of the Stars" was silent for a second, looked around, and found another beverage store that was closed. However, maybe it was for convenience when it reopened. There were facilities outside the store, such as beverage cups.
Seats and the like were not stored in the store.
"I'm so annoyed...everything, Fina, I'm sorry, I'm going to run away." She mentally apologized to her friend, whom she had only known for a few months, and then walked forward and picked up a drink very calmly.
paper cup.
"Miss, miss, this will violate your public image." A Frisbee robot flew to the girl's side and warned in a low voice.
Serena Mayo ignored it, walked to the door of the ice cream shop holding the cup, stood on tiptoes, leaned down, and used her strength to reach the paper cup in her hand towards the ice cream machine behind the railing door.
"Miss, miss, this will violate your public image." The robot was still reminding tirelessly and loyally.
Serena was really not tall enough, and in the end she couldn't reach the ice cream machine. She thought seriously, pulled the two Frisbee robots down, and stepped on their heads.
"Lift off!" Serena ordered in a lazy tone.
"This is a crime, this is a crime!"
Even so, as the singer's bodyguard robots, they still carried out their master's orders seriously.
This time it was finally reached, and the machine was not turned off. Serena looked at the cup filled with fragrant ice cream and swallowed. This was probably the first time in half a year that she could enjoy this cool delicacy.
.
However, at this moment, she stumbled and jumped forward.
After professional debugging, the most advanced bodyguard robots are indeed very advanced in their work. One of them quickly turned on the magnetic function to stabilize Serena's body. The other quickly made an emergency levitation, blocking in front of Serena, and then rushed towards that
The railing door on the side is an armored collision.
Then, there was a "bang" sound.
Serena Mao, along with two of her robots, crashed into the ice cream shop, causing a mess. Of course, with the protection of two loyal robots, the starry elf lady was buried by a lot of store facilities. , but she was not injured and still held the ice cream in her hand high.
Therefore, she did not notice that while she was dizzy in the ice cream shop, a group of "mechanical giants" loaded with live ammunition slowly walked away from the passage three blocks away from her.
Neither she nor them noticed the other's existence.
