Chapter 53

The dilapidated starship with an eye-catching appearance was successfully captured by the main ship of the expeditionary force.

Feeling the starship "dang" under him being fixed, Lu Fenghan leaned on the back of the chair, his long legs spread apart, and his thoughts were still a little complicated.

He was lucky, when he came out of the wormhole, Po Jun reminded him that there was nothing wrong with this small wormhole, and the connected location was indeed the Southern Cross region.

Once connected to the star network, he will send a message to Qiyan.A few lines of words were written and then deleted, deleted and rewritten, as if trapped for half a year, language function degraded, back and forth, and finally sent the simplest sentence "I'm back".

After posting, I feel that there are still many things I want to say, but I can't express a single word.Lu Fenghan was not greedy enough, thinking, it would be great if the exit of the wormhole was connected to the Lagoon Nebula, or directly in front of Qiyan.

The squeezing feeling of the leap hadn't passed yet, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Fenghan found that his luck was not bad, but not good, and he happened to run into the confrontation between the two armies——

On the one hand, it is obvious that Erich led the team to go out on missions, on the other hand, he played against an old acquaintance, Donna, who did not know how many times.

Although he didn't expect it, but he didn't hesitate too much, Lu Fenghan drove his little starship, jingling and piercing straight into the front of the formation.

Now it seems that the effect is good.

Before opening the ship door, Lu Fenghan did not know how many times he asked Po Jun: "Any reply?"

Po Jun: "No."

Tapping his fingers on the console, Lu Fenghan got up and walked out, while ordering: "If there is a reply, tell me immediately, immediately."

The door of the starship, which was sprayed with colorful paint, slid open on both sides, giving people the illusion that the door could fall off no matter how hard it was.

When Lu Fenghan stepped onto the gangway, all the people waiting outside gave him an alliance military salute with their heels together and their military boots touching with a low "snap" sound almost at the same time.

Erich stood at the front of the line, watching Lu Fenghan who was walking down the gangway step by step, his cheeks were tense to stabilize his emotions, but his eyes were still red, his voice was hoarse, and every word was neat: "Deputy Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Erich Planck, returns to you!"

He took a deep breath, and his gray eyes seemed to be soaked with the blood and fire of the past year: "Until the last second, the expeditionary army has never put down their weapons, and they are always on standby!"

Lu Fenghan stared at the familiar people in front of him, his throat tightened.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a year, but he has lived and died twice.

He usually doesn't show his emotions, raised his hand and solemnly returned a military salute, and resumed the familiar casual tone: "Everyone, it's been a long time."

Lu Fenghan, no, it should be said that the entire expeditionary army is not good at reminiscing about the past.Lu Fenghan dismissed them with one sentence and ordered them to return to their posts. Erich and Vincent consciously followed.

Vincent changed back to the uniform of the Expeditionary Army. His temperament was not as relaxed as Leto's, and his back was stretched a little bit. He just talked a little bit, and when there were no one else around, he opened his mouth and said, "Commander, I didn't expect If you die once, you can live, but if you die twice, you can still live!"

Lu Fenghan gave him a cool look: "Why, very disappointed?"

"How could it be?" Vincent pretended to be shocked, and said again, "Commander, fortunately, you showed up in time, calmed Downer, and handed him over quickly. Otherwise, we would really fight, just for Wise, cannon/ball Don’t need money, isn’t it good to be diligent and frugal! Donna is really, after so many years, I don’t know how many losses he has suffered, and he still can’t change his suspicious and brain-filled piss.”

Too lazy to listen to Vincent's nonsense, Lu Fenghan called his name: "Erich, tell me."

Erich's skin was white like that of a space soldier. He followed Lu Fenghan to the right, and after receiving the order, he started from the beginning.

"In July last year, after you were ambushed when you led people to support you, Wise became the acting commander-in-chief with the support of several forces. I realized that the situation was different, so I chose to lie dormant temporarily, obey his orders, abandon the front line, and retreat Turin Star." Erich's description was dull, "Last October [-], at midnight, the rebel army raided the garrison, Wise pretended to fight twice, and directly abandoned Turin Star and retreated to York Star."

Although Lu Fenghan had done a replay of the battle in ISCO's equipment room, and knew that Wise had brought someone to deliver the head, his eyes were still unstoppably sharp.

Erich also felt aggrieved by the loss of this battle: "That night, the defense alarm system was overhauled, and there was no response when the enemy attacked, and the patrols changed their guards, but no rebels were approaching."

Lu Fenghan: "You don't need to say such nonsense."

Erich nodded, and also felt that what Wise had come up with was bullshit.

He continued: "During the period, Wise's various small actions were stopped, and I learned from Vincent that you are not dead."

Vincent immediately called Qu: "I didn't say that! It wasn't me! Erich was like a dog with a nose. When he found out that I was in a good mood, he would blow me up. There is always one thing in a hundred secrets, and I accidentally missed it." The short sentence! Who knows how he came to the conclusion that you are not dead from that short sentence?"

Lu Fenghan didn't delve into it: "Tell me about the founding day."

"There is nothing to say. Wise showed his collaborator's feet. I ordered the arrest. He had already figured out how to run and hide tightly. Before that, General Nie Huaiting had ordered that no matter what, the expeditionary force would guard the alliance's defense line and never I can't move. At the same time, the distance is too far, I don't know the specific situation of Leto, and I can't distinguish the orders sent, so I simply cut off the connection with Leto."

Erich spoke convincingly, "What you teach will be outside, and the military order will not accept it."

Lu Fenghan didn't think there was a problem, and asked, "Where's Leto?"

"Leto has now become the territory of the rebel army. The rebel army pursues the idea of ​​talking about gods and gods, using the technological destruction as a foothold, focusing on brainwashing the people of Leto, and recruiting a large number of troubadours to spread around the alliance territory 'Proselytizing'. Their methods are not tough. Except for the strict control of public opinion and the prohibition of entry and exit, the lives of Leto people are basically not in danger, but they don't know how many people will be fooled. General Nie Huaiting is now in Odin in the Kepler region , the injury has healed, and I had a call nineteen days ago."

Erich also mentioned, "After the rebel army and the interstellar pirates captured Leto, due to the uneven distribution of spoils, the face was torn, but I'm not sure if it was really torn, or it was torn for us to see."

Lu Fenghan found that there was really nothing to say.Let him speak, but he can't say a few words.

I have been on the front line for a long time, and I am used to throwing away those twigs and only looking at the results.

Because for the future, the past cannot be changed, and it is correct to look forward.

At this point, Lu Fenghan didn't ask any more questions, and he wasn't going to explain his half-year hardship on Chenxi Star, so he greeted him: "Pojun, come out and meet people."

Vincent and Erich were wondering who Lu Fenghan was calling, when they heard an unfamiliar male voice coming from the radio in the ship, the voice was pleasant, the voice was slow, and it sounded very calm: "Hello, I am Po Jun, according to human calculations, I am half a year old."

Vincent pointed to the position of the voice: "Human...artificial intelligence?"

Po Jun is very polite: "I am the most advanced artificial intelligence in the alliance today, and I will take care of you in the future."

Lu Fenghan nodded, without further explanation: "Well, I will always be on the ship in the future. If Po Jun suddenly makes a sound, don't be frightened."

Vincent complained all over his face: "We will be on the ship from now on? Half a year old, Commander, you employ child labor!"

Lu Fenghan: "Get lost."

After the fleet withdrew to the station, Lu Fenghan returned to the command ship. His room still remained the same as it was a year ago, even the tilted reader on the table hadn't moved.

After taking off the white clothes that had been washed for half a year, Lu Fenghan took a shower, put on the uniform of the expeditionary army, and was mentally prepared until now, before he dared to ask: "Any reply?"

Po Jun: "No reply has been received."

Feeling stuffy, Lu Fenghan unbuttoned his collar with one hand.

If Xiao Jiao ignores him, how can she coax him back?

Lu Fenghan asked again: "How likely is your system to fail?"

Po Jun: "The probability is less than 0.1%, don't worry, I can repair general faults by myself."

It seems that the excuse of "Pojun broke down, do you want to see it" is no longer feasible.

Lu Fenghan was very disappointed.

Just when he was thinking about whether to send another message to Qiyan, he received the reply.

"Glad to know you're okay."

Lu Fenghan read this reply upside down several times.

Something is wrong.

No, it should be... very strange.

"Po Jun, did your designer design a second artificial intelligence? Could it be that his artificial intelligence replied on his behalf?"

Po Jun replied: "No, according to human beings, I am the only child."

"Are you sure this is a reply from the prayer?"

"Yes, the message did come from his personal terminal."

After Qi Yan finished replying to the message, he didn't look at his personal terminal again.He opened the White Tower's intranet and updated the latest progress on it to "Complete".

After staying up at night for three consecutive days, it may be due to exhaustion, but not very sleepy. It just wobbled when I got up, and it took a few seconds for me to stand still.

The hurried footsteps sounded from far to near, and Qi Yan turned his head to meet the eyes of Eliza, who was short of breath. , Lu Fenghan is still alive, he came back alive!"

Qi Yan stood in the sunshine of early summer, with his cuffs rolled up to his elbows, his skin was as white as cold porcelain, he nodded with a calm tone: "I see, I received the message he sent me."

He asked Elisa with some doubts: "I replied to him, and I think my wording is okay. But, shouldn't my tone be more... happy?"

Eliza didn't know how to answer for a while.

Without waiting for her answer, Qiyan tore open a packet of nutritional supplements, swallowed them in two gulps, and walked out: "The upgrade of the space radar detection system has been completed, and I picked one from the unused name list, called 'Catching the Wind' .But this detection system needs to be used in conjunction with the starship central control system, and I need to go to the front line to see the effect."

Elisa followed behind him: "If you want to go, apply for the use of the starship now, and you can leave soon."

The prayer stopped abruptly.

After recalling it carefully, he asked Elisa: "I used to love him very much, didn't I?"

Eliza answered in the affirmative: "Yes."

"So that's how it is." Qi Yan lowered his thin eyelids, as if talking to himself, "Although I think back to my previous memories, it's like a layer of fog, but when I received the message from him, here," He put his hand over his heart, and there was a little confusion in his eyes. "It hurts here."

An hour later, the starship stopped outside the star port with sufficient energy.

August came with Eliza to deliver prayers.

Before boarding the starship, Qi Yan stood in front of the two of them: "You don't need to feel regret or guilt. If I hadn't taken the medicine, I would probably be dead now. While losing negative emotions such as sadness and despair, I no longer Happiness and excitement are the price we should pay.”

He tried to slow down his voice to comfort him: "Besides, Elisa, didn't you say that I will gradually get better in the future. The emotions that have been stripped will gradually come back."

Qi Yan didn't understand why Elisa was crying again. He didn't know what to say and how to do it in a timely manner, so he nodded silently to August, turned around and boarded the starship.

He didn't really know why August and Eliza felt guilty all the time.He felt that what he was doing now was not much different from before.

The only obvious thing is that he is more rational.Although memory still gets confused, he usually sees it as a disorder of programming, of which he feels little.

No, it should be said that he lacked "feeling".

He won’t feel frustrated when the experiments make mistakes continuously; he won’t feel satisfied when he eats food when he’s hungry; he won’t feel happy when the detection system is upgraded successfully; There is no feeling of sadness anymore.

He is like a machine that has been stripped of a certain function, but so far, he doesn't feel any impact.

Expeditionary Force command ship.

Lu Fenghan has sorted out the big and small things that happened in the expeditionary force this year, and held three meetings to review all kinds of news about the alliance's current affairs and reports from various places in the past six months. A newsletter that he heard that he was resurrected from the dead, and specially greeted him.

By the time everything was dealt with, a day had passed.

Lu Fenghan slung his long legs wrapped in military trousers casually, pinching the center of his eyebrows, his eyes were a little dry.

He read the message of the prayer reply again.

I couldn't help but guess wildly. Could it be that when I kissed before closing the protective cover of the escape pod, I bit the person painfully?

Or, something happened.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Fenghan admitted that he was scared.

He was never afraid that the expeditionary army was right and wrong, nor was he afraid that he might not be able to win against the rebel army.Not to mention half a year or a year, even if he came back ten years later, he was not afraid at all.

However, praying is different.

Praying is the person he has to take another look at before he dies, even if he is trapped for a hundred years.

It is the wild fire that burns in the wasteland in his heart.

At this time, Po Jun said: "Vincent is on the bridge, asking if you are free, there is something important that needs you to go."

Lu Fenghan picked up his military uniform jacket and stood up, the silver stars on the shoulder straps shone slightly: "Let them wait."

When Lu Fenghan strode to the bridge, he saw Erich was there, and he asked Vincent with his eyes.

Vincent tried his best to suppress it, but still couldn't hide his excitement: "Someone secretly came from the White Tower and said that they made us a powerful equipment! In theory, the energy source inside the leap channel can be detected, that is to say , the next time the rebels have not yet come out of the jump channel, we can place a [-]-meter-thick bomb/bomb at the exit position in advance, as a welcome red carpet!"

white tower.

Praying is now in the White Tower.

Lu Fenghan turned these two words around in his heart, and it was rare to experience what it was like to worry about gains and losses.

The announcement of "successfully docked with the command ship" came from the ear, and both Vincent and Erich turned around, heading for the door at the end of the bridge to dock with the visiting starship.

The people in the White Tower have always been mysterious, and they rarely show their faces outside. They often only know their names but never see them, and sometimes even their names are fake.

Vincent and Erich looked at each other, they both saw curiosity in each other's eyes, and couldn't help straightening their collars, so as not to disfigure the army and embarrass the expeditionary army.

Lu Fenghan barely suppressed the emotion of contradicting his chest, and looked towards the end of the bridge.

Two minutes later, the silver metal door at the end of the bridge slid open to both sides, and a group of people walked in.

The person standing in the middle, wearing a silk shirt, looks a bit thin, with a cold expression, but extremely beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

Vincent opened his eyes slightly and looked at the person in shock. His lips moved, trying to say the person's name, but he couldn't be sure.After struggling several times, he remembered something and quickly looked at Lu Fenghan again.

However, Lu Fenghan's lips were tense, and he was staring at the person who was getting closer and closer, without moving an inch.

Difficult to tell.

At this time, outside the porthole, there is the boundless universe and bright and distant stars.

Qi Yan stopped a step away, and politely extended his hand to Lu Fenghan.

Because he does not belong to the expeditionary force, it is inappropriate to call him "commander", so he is called the title.

"Hello, General, I am the Chief of the White Tower, Y."

The author has something to say:

Than a heart made of fallen starship gates~

Good night~ I love you!
