Chapter 864 The distant starry sky at four in the morning
At 4 o'clock in the morning on May 9th, Colonel Yeager Soback heard a burst of passionate "The Ride of the Dragons", which is the military song of the Astral Knights. He was like
Like a fish that had been pulled ashore, his body twitched, and then he just pulled himself up and jumped up from the bed.
Then, within ten minutes, he completed the processes of excreting, washing, dressing and making the bed, and appeared in the elevator leading to the training room at the bottom of the ship on time at 4:10. His movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.
The smooth wall in the elevator showed a young man wearing close-fitting training clothes, tall and tall, and handsome. If you ignore the dead fish eyes that have not yet fully recovered, anyone who looks at him will call him a good man.
Young hero.
After nearly ten seconds, a little sparkle appeared in those dead fish eyes that had particularly ruined the overall temperament. Yeager looked at the spirited young man on the wall, and let out a sigh that was full of vicissitudes of life.
I can assure the spirit of the universe that he never got up so early, whether it was when he was a student, when he was going to college, or when he was an officer in the colony for two years after graduation, or even when he was playing in caves among the forests and mountains with the indigenous rebels.
.
To be fair, Yeager feels that he is really not a lazy person. He is a talented young man who hopes to revive his family business. He has also been one of the evil "other people's children" since he was a child. His self-discipline is at least above the average.
However, ever since he became the disciple of Duke Sadolan in a daze, the rhythm of his self-disciplined life has continued to move in an inhuman direction.
"Getting up at seven o'clock every day? Too superficial! Too lazy! Yeager, for people like us, if we don't get up before six o'clock, we have given up on life! As one of the future leaders of the Knights, you will
You should be strict with yourself! Don’t you want to get up and look at the Milky Way at four in the morning?”
Again, although the Duke used the tone of discussion, Soback would not think that the other party was really discussing with him even if his brain was eaten by zombies.
Then, with Soback's "permission", this cheap teacher even left an imprint on his mind. A band would naturally appear in his head at 4 o'clock every day, directly in his head.
The gongs and drums are beating deep in the sea of consciousness.
"The Ride of the Dragons" is obviously a world-famous song, but Soback will subconsciously start to feel physically disgusted when he hears it. This is probably the same as those naughty kids who have lived in school for a long time when they hear "The Athletes' March"
It's the same principle that you will start to subconsciously branch out.
"When your strength improves step by step, probably when you reach the fifth ring, you should have enough mental power to drive away my Reveille." This is what Duke Sadolan said.
As soon as these words came out, Colonel Soback suddenly felt that he would probably be entangled with the starry sky at four in the morning for the rest of his life.
No, he was obviously on a dangerous mission to explore the unknown starry sky. He was obviously tracking the evil star that cannot even be mentioned. Even though he and Master Cheap were not on the same ship, he still had to get up at four o'clock skillfully.
And be proficient in performing a two-hour morning workout.
Like a dog trained with Pavlovian responses, Colonel Soback exercised hard for two hours. By the time he washed up again, finished breakfast, changed into a straight uniform and arrived at the bridge.
, it’s not yet seven o’clock. At this time, except for the crew members on duty, most of the officers have not even gone to work yet.
Fortunately, the experienced Captain Hongshan has been in the command position. This old seaman from Kyeyang still behaves very calmly, which finally gives Colonel Soback a sense of security.
There was no way he could do it. He was almost certain that on the bridge of another Clear Sky-class cruiser not far from him, the grand leader of the Knights must already be in place. If he didn't come to the bridge before the other party,
There will definitely be more terrifying training waiting for you later.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down at his seat, a communication from the cruiser Chunyu was sent over.
"The captain told me that we will arrive soon?"
Soback looked at the star map and determined that his fleet was almost reaching the end of the branch channel. It would take one more jump to reach the last known star system.
Captain Hongshan also reported: "If everything goes well, we will arrive at the edge of the 166 galaxy in two hours."
"Very good, I have already said that I have no experience in fleet command, so I will leave it all to you." Duke Sadolan looked his disciple up and down, and said in an almost Tuogu tone: "If you can
When you encounter the opponent's ship, whether it is a careful probing or a sudden attack, it is up to you, just treat me as a usable stormtrooper."
Wait, I have no experience in fleet command either!
Just as Soback was about to say this, the other party hung up the communication without explanation. With a dull look on his face, he stretched out his hand to explore the communication screen that had just been closed. For a moment, he no longer knew what expression to make.
To be honest, Duke Sadolan is just a hands-off shopkeeper. He has never paid attention to any "mundane matters" since setting off. Determining the formation, formulating the march route and timetable, and coordinating the combat cooperation among the captains are all done by Sobai.
What Ke is doing. To be honest, this is the job of a fleet admiral.
But the problem is that daily patrols and command operations are completely different things!
Although I have plans to study at the Royal Naval College for a year or two, after all, I have never attended a day of school. How could I become a fleet commander?
Captain Hongshan could only comfort him patiently: "Don't worry, our troops are stronger now, and we are much more powerful than when we were hide-and-seek with the predators in the extreme star field. Even if we really go to war with a predator's fearless,
It’s not like there’s no chance of winning.”
Indeed, the fleet that has now arrived at the end of this branch route includes two Clear Sky-class heavy cruisers, one Cloud Giant-class special mothership, four Aegis-class light cruisers, and eight Apocalypse Eagle-class B-type destroyers.
To be honest, it is nothing in a fleet battle between major powers, but if it is used for combat missions such as breaking attacks, breaking diplomatic relations, guerrillas, etc. in a full-scale war, it is already a very rich combat power.
Even the great pirate kings of the New World, who roam the sea of stars and whose evil names can stop children from crying at night, can only flee when they encounter this force.
To be honest, in the history of colonial development for nearly half a century, when the empire, which was full of military virtue and prepared to clear waterways, stabilize the star field, and launch encirclement and suppression operations against some large pirate groups, it had never deployed such a force.
What's more, this fleet also includes twelve fully armed astral knights, and even an eighth-ring whose power is comparable to that of a god.
But even so, Soback was still a little worried.
Soback looked towards the end of this waterway. To be honest, although the two sides are only separated by one jump and a flight of less than two hours, the physical distance is still 17 light years. Even if Soback is "exploring"
With three rings, the "navigator's" eyesight cannot really see the appearance of the planet clearly. He can only vaguely see three adjacent light spots that are indeed very close.
He didn't know why, but looking at those three light spots, he always felt very flustered.
It was also May 9th in the Galaxy Common Calendar, at 4:00 a.m. standard time. Yu Lian was awakened by the soothing music in his ears. This was a piece of music he had never heard before, with a beautiful melody and a soothing rhythm. Hum.
Although the lyrics are in a language I have never heard before, they feel mysterious, solemn and elegant, but they are not solemn and rigid like religious hymns. There is agility and lightness in the singing.
This is indeed a style of music that Yu Lian has never been exposed to before, but it is definitely within the scope of his appreciation. He soon realized that this should belong to the music of the enlightened people of the previous generation.
What's the saying? In the universe, the only things that can be used universally are music and mathematics. Don't lie to me!
He did not get up right away, but closed his eyes to appreciate it a little more. What surprised him even more was that when his soul was floating in this moving note, not only did his fatigue completely disappear, but even his mental strength was completely gone.
There was a considerable improvement. By the time I reacted, the fifth ring of the astrolabe, which represented supernatural power, in the sea of consciousness, had already been filled in a large area.
Looking at the real time, less than four minutes have passed.
Then lie down for another five minutes? Maybe it will be the sixth ring? Yu Lian thought so.
"It's almost done! If you keep listening to it, it won't make any difference!" Xiao Hui's voice rang in Yu Lian's ears.
The latter curled his lips, stood up, and also spent three minutes finishing the work of washing, changing clothes, and making the bed. At the same time, he also asked by the way: "This is the sword drawn by the enlightened one... ah no, it is used to train spirits."
Can you sing the hymn?"
"No, this is a children's song that my creators use to educate children in nurseries."
"...It seems that the Enlightened Ones are all psykers! I finally got new information."
"Did you guess it just now? The longer I know you, the more my sister knows about the civilization of your generation, and the more bleak her future becomes!"
Yu Lian pretended not to hear it and asked directly: "In other words, this kind of song that can strengthen mental power can only be used once, right? Then do you know more songs?"
"I'm a robot! It's great if I can sing a song. Brother Yu Lian, are your requirements for robots too harsh?"
"When did I treat you as a robot? You are obviously a silicon-based life big sister who is divine, solemn, great and wise, but also beautiful, considerate, gentle and kind that the carbon-based monkeys of our generation cannot understand!"
"Hey, look at that honey-smeared little mouth, but at best, your trick will only target other carbon-based life ladies. It is useless against a silicon-based life sister like me."
"...Tsk, these days, a robot that costs 5 yuan can sing tens of thousands of songs."
"Yes, if we were in your home galaxy, we would receive updates from the Nebula network at any time. But, broadcasting and singing are not the same thing, right?"
I have to admit that what Xiao Hui said is quite reasonable, but Yu Lian still discovered Hua Dian.
"But you haven't admitted that you only know this song, right?"
"Haha, this is forbidden."
I fucking knew it.
"Speaking of which, I feel like you have led me astray from the beginning! It's only four o'clock. Anyone who insists on getting up at four o'clock in the morning to look at the stars is a paranoid snake! What our spiritual research association focuses on is Taoism.
People value letting nature take its course. I sleep until I wake up naturally every day."
Of course, with Yu Lian's current physical fitness, the biological clock is naturally very stable. As long as there are no special circumstances, it will always be 6:40.
"The assistants who will assist you, that is, the fleet from the empire, have entered the United 21-45 system."
The so-called "United 21-45" is the penultimate galaxy in this branch channel. It is only one jump away from Edge 166 where we are. If nothing goes wrong, the other party should be within 4 hours.
into the same galaxy.
"It's finally here! Let's wait...well, it only took two days, and they actually came very quickly." Yu Lian said with a smile.
"It is indeed fast, and the ships are in very good condition. After so many years, the empire has not fallen. Hey, that's strange. It stands to reason that it is logical that they should have fallen faster than the opposite alliance!" Xiao Xiao
Gray road.
Because the empire has been a god king for generations without logic!
"The nano-monitors you left behind were not discovered by the empire, right?"
"Brother Yu Lian, who do you think I am? I've already let my cells get close to me, but they still can't find it." Xiao Hui sneered.
Yu Lian's heart moved and he quickly said: "Then..."
"No, no, no, helping you is the limit! I have said before, I am a leader, and I cannot casually intervene in the battles between civilizations of this generation."
In other words, it is okay to induce prejudice, but it is not okay to end it personally, right?
Well, this is already very happy. Yu Lian thought.
All in all, most of the actors have left the stage, and now it is time to start the final preparations for the "stage".
So, Yu Lian walked straight towards the hangar. Along the way, he also heard the reveille signal and assembly announcement echoing inside the ship, and all the crew members woke up. Although it was still early in the morning, nearly half of the time had passed.
After two days of correction, everyone's physical strength has actually recovered a lot, and everyone has entered a state of combat readiness with full energy.
When Yu Lian arrived at the hangar, he saw a large group of experienced hangar personnel busy around a small Haiyan assault landing craft.
Finally, Earl Black Moon stood in the corner of the hangar, holding a thermos cup and drinking hot tea in an old-fashioned manner, while looking at the landing craft with great interest.
Of course, the technicians were concentrating on their work and ignored this big-name melon-eater. Over the past week, everyone has become accustomed to his existence, or in other words, even ignored his existence.
