Chapter 52

　At four o'clock in the morning, after Lin Jingheng rested efficiently for four hours, she got up and handed the completed military waterway survey map to Zhan Lu. The artificial intelligence performed the final calibration, and she went straight to high-intensity physical recovery. train.

　An hour and a half later, he came down sweating profusely. Through his mental net, he saw the Yakusan Self-Defense Forces who were chasing him like sheep on Saturday and began to run in circles around the mecha station. He was yelling and running, but he couldn't hear clearly what brainwashing slogans he was shouting.

　Lin Jingheng took a look at her watch and found that these people actually copied the schedule of the Silver Ten Guards.

　He took a cold shower indifferently and stuffed a nutritious meal into his stomach perfunctorily - when recovering from physical training, in conjunction with the amount of exercise, nutritional intake must be strictly and precisely controlled. Ordinary food cannot be so precise. Can eat specially prepared nutritious meals.

　Low-quality compressed nutritious meals can also have some flavoring, but the one he ate had nothing but a very light salty taste. It was neither good in color nor taste, and tasted close to solidified nasal mucus.

　After eating, all four elements are empty, and there is nothing to love in life.

　Lin Jingheng changed clothes and put them on, walked quickly through the morning light of the base, and walked towards the mecha transceiver station - he needed to collect data on the flow of high-energy particles to infer the firepower of Prince Gloria's bombing of Egret Star.

　Saturday, who was leading people for a morning jog, saw him from a distance. He wanted to show off and quickly kicked the man next to him.

　Holiday staggered and shouted like a conch: "One, two!"

　The Yazis were sweating profusely, stretched their necks, and followed the conch with a few meows.

　Saturday was furious: "Don't you have enough to eat?"

　The self-defense team members he forcibly dragged ran less than three kilometers, and the team dragged them for two miles, feebly dragging their feet, running in different postures, Every one of them seemed to have eaten rat poison.

　It became popular on Saturday: "Shout again! Louder!"

　The self-defense team members started to sing like Lao Dan, babbling out one sentence: "One aunt - two ah ah -"

　Lin Jingheng did not even raise her head. Passing through the howling Yakusan group, we got on the elevator of the mecha station.

　As soon as the elevator door closed, the buttons did not respond. Lin Jingheng frowned, and a troublesome voice came from the elevator announcement: "Welcome to the smart voice elevator. To open the elevator, please greet the elevator first - Good morning, Lin Sir."

　Lin Jingheng: "..."

　"Elevator" prompted: "It is recommended that you answer, 'Good morning, dear elevator baby.'"

　Lin Jingheng's eyes jumped a few times, and he directly called up the management authority of the base from his personal terminal. , the elevator was forcibly started from the background.

　"Okay, I know you said that in your heart... Uh, beep -"

　Lin Jingheng muted the elevator announcement again.

　As soon as the elevator door opened, Lu Bixing caught him waiting at the door of the main control room of the mecha station.

　Lu Bixing is usually a person who pays great attention to his image. I don't know if he took the wrong medicine today, but he has become more and more serious. Give him a beam of light and he can go on stage and perform: "You must have a sense of humor and a spirit of entertainment. General, you will be there all day long." Being so serious, don't you feel that life is very boring and a lot of happiness is missing?"

　Lin Jingheng couldn't afford to offend him, so she walked around him without looking away and walked to the main control room: "I don't think so."

　Lu Bixing caught up with him and said, "You can take your time. Nothing, other than drinking and dazing, don't you have any entertainment?"

　Lin Jingheng said: "There are many entertainments."

　The four students got up very early and had already gathered in the main control room, sitting around a round table. Knowing what kind of homework they were doing, various calculation screens shot out from the personal terminals of the four people and floated everywhere. There was also a simple breakfast on the table.

　Upon seeing Lin Jingheng, the four teenagers subconsciously stood up and stood at attention. White hurriedly swallowed the bread in his mouth.

　Lin Jingheng nodded to them coldly and walked directly to the database.

　Lu Bixing grabbed his elbow and said, "Referring to the data of high-energy particle flow, right? Come on, kids, the people who will check your work are here. Come over and give a verbal report on the analysis report of the attack on Egret Star!" "

　The four students looked at each other in shock. White choked on the bread and almost died on the spot.

　Lin Jingheng didn't want to waste time listening to a few students who didn't understand nonsense, so she frowned and glared at Lu Bixing, but Lu Bixing didn't seem to see that he was impatient at all, and gave him a sunny smile without hesitation. If there was someone behind him, The tail has probably been propped up and shaking out a fan.

　Lin Jingheng let out a long breath, pulled back her elbows without saying a word, folded her arms in front of her chest, and was forced to "check her homework."

　The four students were trembling, pushing and shoving for a while. Huang Jingshu, who was used to being the eldest sister, had no choice but to step forward first. Her voice was as quiet as if she had never cursed in her life, and she began to read her analysis report softly. : "A week ago, according to reliable information, interstellar pirates attacked the Egret asteroid. The high-energy particle flow caused by the bombing passed through the base and was..."

　Lin Jingheng interrupted her lightly: "The important point."

　"The important point?" Huang Jingshu panicked. She flipped back in a panic, "Oh, I...I used the 'triangulation method' to infer..."

　Lin Jingheng interrupted her again: "The triangulation method is an academic theoretical model. In order to formulate a formula, it needs Eliminating multiple interference items cannot be calculated like this in practice."

　He also remembered that the girl was also called "Jing Shu". Because of this name, he had a lot of patience with her. He thought that her tone was very gentle, "soft and gentle", and he even asked. One sentence: "Did you use other models?"

　Huang Jingshu's face turned red, her fingers were picking at her personal terminal, and she was speechless.

　Lin Jingheng gave her half a minute and

　said with utmost kindness: "Next one." White stammered: "I...I also used the triangulation method and nested the Cruz split in it..."

　Lin Jingheng: "Nonsense. Next."

　"I checked Egret's planet files and orbits." Mint cleared her throat forcefully and glanced at Lin Jingheng. Lin Jingheng looked at her condescendingly, with a frown on his face, as if he was disturbed by the barking of a dog, but Fortunately, he didn't interrupt her yet. Mint summoned up the courage and continued, "The mass of Egret is..."

　Lin Jingheng: "I know what the mass of Egret is."

　Mint: "I simulated the impact of the Egret according to its weight. A situation like an attack."

　Lin Jingheng raised her eyelids: "What is used to simulate it?"

　Mint whispered: "Astronomical calculator."

　Lin Jingheng raised the corner of her mouth with a half-smile: "I recommend you use a children's four arithmetic calculator, that one Easier and easier to operate. Next one."

　Douji saw the students falling into the sand one after another, and he was so frightened that he stood up like a stick, with a look of humiliation on his face, and said in a low voice: "I... I don't know how."

　Lin Jingheng nodded gracefully: "I appreciate your clean and tidy style, which saves everyone's time."

　After saying that, he made a dismissal gesture to everyone, and turned around and walked towards the master angrily. The database in the control room is ignored.

　At this time, Lu Bixing finally understood what "there are plenty of pastimes" - in General Lin's eyes, probably all the idiots in the world were his pastimes.

　He sighed, waved to the aggrieved students, and led them to Lin Jingheng.

　Lin Jingheng said nothing and let them watch. He was very focused on what he was doing and could completely ignore Lu Bixing's real-time explanations beside him. A dizzying amount of data flows through his personal terminal without even resorting to artificial intelligence.

　After all, the number one enemy of the Silver Fortress was always the interstellar pirates. Even if he didn't know who he was fighting for, it was almost his instinct to fight and analyze the interstellar pirates.

　By the time he came to an end, the sun was already setting in the west. The students, whose brains were overloaded, walked away in a daze, and a porcelain cup was handed over from the side. Lin Jingheng's eyes did not leave the personal terminal. She took a sip from it and found that it was not plain water. She put the porcelain cup back into the other person's hand and found a pool to spit it out.

　Lu Bixing took a sip from his cup in confusion, not tasting anything strange: "What's wrong? Do you not eat sweets, or are you lactose intolerant?" "

　It's not that particular," Lin Jingheng poured herself a glass of water, " I can just drink water."

　Lu Bixing's eyes fell on his empty shirt, and he suddenly realized: "Are you controlling your diet and regaining weight?"

　Lin Jingheng was not in the habit of discussing her body shape with another man, so she ignored him and turned away. Review your day's results.

　He rested his hands on the main unit in the main control room of the mecha station, and his shoulders were slightly hunched, showing his flat shoulders. The artificial sunlight was about to leave the base. At this time, it came in diagonally, just penetrating his thin shirt, revealing The shadowy waistline comes.

　Lu Bixing's eyes fell, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand a few steps away. He forcibly restrained his urge to touch it. He coughed dryly: "When you gave yourself the muscle dissolving injection, why didn't you think about the pain you are suffering now?"

　Lin Jingheng: "Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Lu

　Bixing walked around him, and when he was too close, a smell of fruit lingered around him, and Lin Jingheng subconsciously avoided it.

　Lu Bixing didn't make a sneak attack, so he had to eat the half piece of apple that couldn't be stuffed into his mouth: "I think it's okay if you eat less other things. Don't be so harsh on yourself and the world - what do you like to eat? Do you prefer sweet or spicy foods? Are you picky about food besides not drinking beer?

　"

　I don't know if it's his imagination. Although Lu Bixing was quite annoying before, he knows what he's interested in. " , measured, and within the range of his tolerance, and even occasionally - close to the probability of a meteor shower observable with the naked eye - he is willing to admit that Lu Bixing is a bit cute.

　But recently, I don't know if he has put on the "lost and found filter" and is too indulgent to this person. Lin Jingheng feels that this guy is a bit of a slap in the face.

　"Prince Gloria Aresvon's heavy armor firepower is completely comparable to that of the regular Alliance army," Lin Jingheng said with a straight face, forcibly changing the topic, "The loading capacity of heavy weapons is much stronger than that of the Alliance, with great destructive power and stronger defensive performance. , but I think they may have sacrificed a certain amount of mobility. The anti-tracking system you proposed before is feasible. If you stay here to tell me about this, I will give you fifteen minutes. If not, get out."

　"It's been set up," Lu Bixing said. "The robots are working overtime. When the time comes, just use the mecha to send it outside the energy tower. I won't delay your business."

　Lin Jingheng's expression softened.

　Then, Lu Bixing heard another sentence: "Lin, you often frown and don't smile, is it because you think you have more temperament when you are serious than when you smile?"

　Lin Jingheng pointed to the door and motioned for him to kneel down.

　However, Lu Bixing not only refused to leave, he even dragged a chair over and sat down.

　Lin Jingheng was stared at by his curious and exploratory eyes. She always felt that she had become the protagonist of some kind of weird experimental report: "What else do you want to do?"

　Lu Bixing felt some familiar challenge from him. .

　A group of people with the worst personalities and the most difficult to get along with in the world seemed to have become his students, and in these two aspects, Lin Jingheng was exceptionally outstanding, but Lu Bixing liked him especially.

　Lu Bixing suspected that he had some tendency to be particularly attracted to people who were not things. He thought about it and felt that if he answered "Let's talk" at this time, the person would definitely turn around and leave, so he skillfully chose a topic that people could easily take lightly: "What is Watto like?"

　Lin Jingheng was stunned for a moment. , the softest place on my heart seemed to have been pricked with a needle.

　Back then, the Lu family was less than two kilometers away from the Alliance Parliament Building. Climbing up to the roof, you could see the wonderland-like forest park behind the parliament building. A beloved child who should have been born there was now asking him what Watto was. Like this - he even thought that Watteau would have crowded tube buildings and slums.

　Lin Jingheng was still thinking about whether he was too indulgent just now, but now he suppressed this idea again. In the blink of an eye, he forgot how he wanted to hang Lu Bixing up and beat him, and wished he could give him everything he wanted. .

　"The population of Wotto is very small." Lin Jingheng said carefully, "Except for the central shopping mall, there are almost no high-rise buildings."

　"Why?" Lu Bixing asked strangely, "Don't big shots like to climb high and look out?"

　"There are always people. People who don't like it won't climb high, and of course they don't want others to climb high and peek at them." Lin Jingheng slightly relaxed her tense back, "Everything about Votto is the epitome of the alliance, the result of the tug-of-war and balance between the various forces. , that is, the height limit of all buildings in Watteau, except for the central business district, cannot exceed the height of the sky track. Three-quarters of the land is covered with ornamental plants, and the entire capital city is like a garden park."

　Lu Bixing, a native of Ba. The galaxy bumpkin has only seen the first galaxy in movies and seen a few photos of Watteau from books. Most of them were concentrated in the parliament building - Watteau's dignitaries gathered, and shooting was prohibited in many places - he felt it was a bit It's hard to imagine: "Wouldn't that be inconvenient? I mean living facilities and the like?"

　"Woto is different from other places. There is no private land on the capital star. All land is divided according to rank and position. The area, There are rules for spacing. It is better to live sparsely than to offend anyone. Living supplies are rationed. There are dedicated service personnel on duty in each area. If you need anything, you can just use the personal terminal to summon them. As long as it does not violate the law, they will do it. Everything can be solved for you. The sky rail is basically semi-exclusive, with convenient transportation and no public facilities."

　Lu Bixing was first shocked by the extravagance of the rich and powerful, and then felt a little guilty and doubted himself. General Lin, who could not afford to support Voto, asked cautiously: "Is your family like this too?"

　Lin Jingheng was silent for a while and nodded vaguely: "Absolutely."

　The alliance general has his own mansion, but Lin Jingheng only visited once symbolically on the day when the construction was completed. He recorded the gene lock and then handed it over to a bunch of robots to take care of it. He can't even remember the address now. Since taking over the Silver Fortress, Lin Jingheng has not spent any vacations. She occasionally travels to and from Voto. She always stays in the reception hotel behind the parliament building and leaves after finishing her work. She wants to talk about home - in fact, Zhanlu Mecha is more like his home. .

　Lu Bixing: "Then you...are now in this tight base, don't you feel aggrieved?"

　"It's okay," Lin Jingheng said, and then added carefully, "It's a bit noisy."

　Lu Bixing hesitated for a moment: "Back then, Why did you leave the alliance? How did you log out of the Eden system?"

　Lin Jingheng skipped the first question and said lightly: "Eden is ultimately a kind of technology, not a god. There are always loopholes to exploit."

　Lu Bixing: "What about your family? Aren't you worried?"

　He started from Wotto and circled closer and closer, and finally naturally brought the topic to Lin Jingheng himself. Unfortunately, precious prey is not so easy to capture. At this point, the question was already too personal. Lin Jingheng pretended not to hear, avoided answering, and asked: "For so many years, the one-eyed eagle has not allowed you to leave the eighth galaxy?"

　Lu Bixing accepted it and said, "Yes, Tidu I can't mention it, I get angry when I mention it, as if there is a wanted warrant above my head, I will be arrested and brought to justice if I step into the Seven Galaxy."

　Lin Jingheng: "..."

　This kid made a nonsense, and actually got 8/9. Not far from ten.

　"Didn't you run away secretly?"

　"You ran away," Lu Bixing said, "I met you when I ran to Beijing Star. In fact, my original destination was not Beijing Star. I accidentally opened your ecological cabin at that time. I felt that I had gotten into trouble, so I had to stay and take care of you. As a result, I stayed for such a long time, taught a few students, sold the mecha and changed schools. The plan could not keep up with the changes, and the great cause of the Travel Alliance died halfway."

　Lin Jingheng thought in her heart. Doubts arose, because Lu Bixing's mecha design was unconventional. Although he was a wild man, he was very accomplished. It would not be a problem to earn a living anywhere. Even if he had no documents and no money, there were many people willing to help him solve the problem, and This person is so bold that he dares to conduct human experiments on himself. Driving a mecha to the Alliance may not be considered an adventure for him. Lin Jingheng really can't figure out how the one-eyed eagle can trap him in the Gloria Star for more than 20 years. Year.

　Lu Bixing put his hands on the back of his head and leaned back with great sadness: "Now that I think about it, it would have been a pity if I had died on the Beijing planet. I had never traveled around the eight major star systems of the alliance, and I had never been in love. "This life seems to have been wasted."

　Lin Jingheng couldn't get rid of Nuwa's plan and the terrifying human body grafting of the bird boy. His throat was a little tight, and he pretended to be nonchalant and asked tentatively: "I haven't even been in love. ? Then what have you been doing on Planet Gloria for more than 20 years, just dismantling and assembling mechas?"

　Lu Bixing keenly heard the tension in his voice and thought happily: "This slut is spying on my love history. " It's all so roundabout."

　"I still save for fate," he winked at Lin Jingheng, "I save a little every day, and I met you after so many years, General."

　Lin Jingheng: "..."

　He always felt that there was something wrong with this. Weird!
