Chapter 69
The door of Lin Jingheng's temporary office meeting was ajar. Tu Lan came to deliver the list of mecha maintenance troops to Lu Bixing, and also informed his boss that he happened to find it here.
He stood at attention at the door and straightened his clothes. Before the ninth guard captain could shout the report, he heard this sentence. Turan quickly grabbed the "report" that he almost said, closed his mouth tightly, and stared out with a pair of evil eyes. She was so white that she couldn't even breathe.
The civilization of the eighth galaxy is the "Song of Smugglers and Wanderers", the cities of the eighth galaxy are artificially retarded scrap display centers, the administrative leaders of the eighth galaxy are the underworld of the major planets, and the people of the eighth galaxy are Struggling numbly in the heat and water... To sum up, after listening to Lu Bixing's suggestion, Lin Jingheng thought that the young scientist Mr. Lu's brain had been working intensively all afternoon, and he was afraid that it might be burned.
Lin Jingheng endured the rude words and asked him: "What do you want to eat that is not available in the base? Do you have to go out?"
"I haven't been to a natural planet in half a year." Lu Bixing softened his voice and stood on one leg. Hanging, across a table, his hanging legs refused to stand in one place, drawing circles back and forth. He smiled, as if he had never had a temper in his life, "General, when I grow up, even the Eighth Galaxy I haven't been around much, I wasted so long in Gloria Star, I finally went out, and I wasted so many years in Beijing Star because I picked you up..."
As soon as he dug up the old accounts, the two of them felt awkward getting along day and night across the ecological cabin. The situation was vivid in my mind. It was originally just a normal embarrassment, but when Lu Bixing handed over the peach branch half-truthfully, it suddenly turned into a very embarrassing situation.
Lin Jingheng's scalp tightened: "Okay, okay, go, go, don't mess with me, hurry up and come back before midnight."
After saying that, this man who had no sense of entertainment lowered his head out of sight and out of mind. I opened a report that someone typed up, but I didn't even move my butt.
Lu Bixing slowly stood up straight, his eyes flickering from left to right for a moment. He felt that the excuse he had just made was a bit wrong. Lin Jingheng now deliberately did not understand the hint of the invitation.
Great civilization, forget about anti-human things like the Development Office's nutritional ointment, why do you still need to develop artificial intelligence that can provide three meals a day?
Lu Bixing didn't have any good countermeasures for the time being, and he wasn't sure whether Lin Jingheng really didn't want to go, so he had to take a deep look at Lin Jingheng and thought to himself: "It's really hard to chase. Forget it, the future will be long."
He thought with such a heart, and asked Turning around at the door, he happened to face Turan. The two people's eyes met. Turan shouted at the door: "Report!"
Lin Jingheng: "Have a rest, what's the matter?"
Turan looked solemn. He walked in and said seriously: "General, just now we have expanded the scan of the base perimeter to 200 kilometers, and found a small group of unidentified people peeping. Based on the energy response, we suspect that the opponent is armed to some extent!"
Lin Jingheng and Lu Bixing were stunned at the same time. .
Lu Bixing grew up in the Eight Galaxies. He knew that as long as the people of these Eight Galaxies had a chance to survive, they would never risk resistance. He was very surprised and thought to himself: "The people in Venus are so pissy?"
At this time, Turan was standing by Lin Jingheng. From an invisible angle, I winked at him.
Lu Bixing: "..."
Curiosity killed the cat, and good intentions killed the guard captain. Turan, this big girl, may not think she has a long life.
"Stop first," Lin Jingheng called Lu Bixing, and then asked Turan, "How far is it outside the base? What level of armed forces are there?"
Lu Bixing turned his back to Lin Jingheng and winked at Turan - signaling her to stop talking nonsense. Lin Jingheng didn't want to go. , he himself wanted to go out and have some fun.
Turan has an excellent psychological quality, which fully demonstrated her talent for deception. Realizing that she had made the situation too serious, she immediately changed her words without changing her face: "The position has been moving, and the level is "ground minus". It's not very professional. I Suspecting that the anti-Ukrainian people had done something evil here, the people organized spontaneous self-defense armed forces. "
There are many levels of weapons - such as mechas, or ground anti-missile systems, and of course "space grade. " ". Instead of interstellar weapons, they are "ground-level".
The "standard ground level" we usually talk about refers to the level of ground army armament, which usually includes mechas. Those that are more powerful than this standard, such as air strikes, aircraft carriers, ground weapons, etc., are called "ground plus". By analogy, if it is weaker than the standard "ground level", has certain lethality, but is not too powerful, it is called "ground reduction".
The ground is reduced - it is equivalent to saying that there are a group of local gangsters patrolling outside with iron pipes and bricks, so there is no need to alert them, but there is still the possibility of capsizing in the ditch.
"It doesn't matter if the ground is reduced." Lu Bixing didn't want to trick Lin Jingheng in this way. He interrupted the situation and left, "Don't underestimate the technicians. In the age of science and technology, as long as electromagnetic waves are still flowing, there will be no black holes in the world without us. If the system doesn't work, I can still pass through the space field - let's go."
Turan and Lin Jingheng stopped him at the same time: "Wait!"
Lin Jingheng frowned, Lu Bixing was not his soldier, he said he was an engineer with the army, but in fact it was purely. Volunteer to help, and he is such an old man. To be fair, he is very good at both mecha operation and deception. He is a civilian expert. As long as he is willing, it is not a problem to organize a local armed force in troubled times. He is not a weak minor. , both emotionally and rationally, it is not convenient for Lin Jingheng to be too lenient.
Lu Bixing said: "Don't worry, it would be better if there were people's self-defense forces. I'll come down and have a good chat with them, just in time to bring them to a peaceful evolution and expand your team."
Lin Jingheng was afraid of his "chat", Lu Bixing I don't know what he grew up on, but he has a "peaceful mind" - he is so big-hearted that he always seems to think that all carbon-based creatures must have merit, and he wants to be peaceful and friendly with everyone, especially him. When there was no need to take into account the interests of other parties, Lin Jingheng suspected that he might not fight back if others didn't beat him to death first.
"Go find..." Lin Jingheng paused. The one-eyed eagle must be unreliable, so he raised his head and asked Turan, "Is there anyone free in Baiyinjiu?"
"No," Tulan said with concern for the country and the people. "The base is too big. There are only so many people in Baiyinjiu. The engineering team has to be seconded to Teacher Lu, who is making preparations. The brothers are quite tight in manpower. There are some who are not on duty, but they have just changed their posts and can't get much rest. It takes another hour..."
Lu Bixing said hurriedly: "No, no, no, I'm going out for a late-night snack. It's not a private visit incognito. I'll have indigestion if you two do this."
Tu Lan just "suddenly understood": "Why, Lu The teacher wants to go out? Or... I have nothing to do for a while, so I can go with you?"
She said with a wink.
Turan was a well-known female gangster in the Silver Fortress back then. She often went out to cheat money and sex during her breaks. In the complaints and reports from the Silver Fortress, Captain Turan ranked first in terms of number. She lacked so many virtues that it was hard to describe. At that time, it even alarmed people. After passing the top brass of the Military Commission, Lin Jingheng had to ground her for more than half a year.
In her opinion, when meeting a beautiful man, if you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss. If you have the opportunity, you must touch him twice. Lin Jingheng always felt that there were two lines of laughter on Turan's serious face.
"Bai Yin Jiu can't free his hands, your guard captain is idle?" Lin Jingheng gave her a cold look, "Get out, and submit for inspection before practice tomorrow morning."
Tu Lan quickly put away his playful smile, not daring to object: "Yes !"
Lin Jingheng frowned and sat for a while, then stood up and said to Lu Bixing, "Wait for me for a while."
After saying that, he went to the back room to change clothes with a stinky face and an expressionless expression.
Lu Bixing: "..."
As soon as they left, Tu Lan silently spread his hands to Lu Bixing and said with lips: "Check it and write it for me."
Lu Bixing had no choice but to smile at her helplessly.
Turan looked a little dissatisfied. After thinking about it, he waved to him again. Lu Bixing listened and heard the captain of the ninth guard say sinisterly: "Your... dad with asymmetrical eyes, how come he can see the beginning but not the end? You can take me to say hello to him another day."
It's Lu. The teacher was so well-informed that she almost froze with fright. He leaned back suddenly and staggered to support the table: "Sister, this is not possible. Dad is not for sale, especially cannot support forced buying and selling! "
Turan was so amused by him that he couldn't even see his eyesight. He laughed like a sneaky beetle.
At this time, there was a sound on the door of the back room of the office - General Lin was acting resolutely, changing clothes faster than others taking off their socks. Turan was excited when he heard the sound, and quickly whispered to Lu Bixing: "I will send you the examination sample later." Personal terminal."
Then she ran away before Lin Jingheng could cause trouble for her.
Lin Jingheng, who had changed into casual clothes, lit a cigarette and lowered his head as he walked. He walked in a hurry, without looking at Lu Bixing. Like a big boss preparing to inspect the territory, he blew out a puff of smoke from his seven orifices and waved: "Let's go."
Lu Bixing almost grew a pair of hot wheels under his feet, and he used all his strength to maintain his composure: "How do we get there?"
Lin Jingheng said, "The Anti-Ukrainian Union left a group of ground machines disguised as ordinary vehicles here. The armored car is probably used by them as spies. Let's drive one. I need to confirm the terrain near the base, the identity and size of the unknown armed forces. You can record and sort it out. "
Lu... the newly appointed secretary was very helpless. He felt that. Lin is a person who always has a problem in his body. He can't get along with the world and himself. It seems that he has violated some heavenly law by simply going out to relax for a while and have a casual meal. He has to find a high-sounding excuse. Only if you think about it with all your heart can it be considered a worthwhile trip.
Lu Bixing muttered: "Is this really a private visit, Your Majesty?"
The mecha is the king of land warfare below air supremacy. It can be equipped with weapons of mass destruction. If the energy is sufficient and the operation is reasonable, it can even shoot down fighter jets. The shell has A protective shield that is very similar to a space mecha. Because the structure is not as complicated as a space mecha, it does not require mental network operation.
The appearance of the anti-Ukrainian mecha car looks no different from an ordinary civilian car, but it is extremely shabby. It even has a manual steering wheel inside. Maybe it is a remnant of the Earth Age!
Lu Bixing did not dare to sit hard because he felt that the car doors were shaking. However, Lin Jingheng passed the authority and reached out to touch the fingerprint sensor. The whole car was different. The inner core of the mecha was exposed. Its completeness and exquisiteness were breathtaking. , not much better than the one produced by the Alliance Military Commission... It turns out that the broken car is just a disguise.
From the corner of her eye, Lin Jingheng saw Lu Bixing fasten his seat belt and give instructions. The mecha smashed the air like a rocket flying close to the ground and rushed out.
Outside the base is a vast wilderness. The rotation period of the morning star is not Watteau's standard 24 hours. After living in the man-made base for a long time, I feel that the day and night here are extra long. At this time, the twilight is closing, and there are unknown withered grasses and tall corn stalks. Mixed together, it has grown to the height of a person, blocking the road. If it weren't for a mecha vehicle, it would be difficult to get through. In the first galaxy, there is no such desolate and savage land. Every inch of land is planned meticulously. Even if it is temporarily undeveloped, gardening robots will take care of the plant landscape.
Lin Jingheng was unambiguous when he talked about exploring the terrain. The scanning radius of the mecha vehicle was always more than one kilometer. The mecha vehicle automatically recorded all energy reactions. An invisible particle stream was emitted from the front of the vehicle. The plants blocking the road were a few meters away from them. He fell softly far away, and the faint light of the instrument hit Lin Jingheng's face. He had a carved profile, sitting there without saying a word, with his flat shoulders and back supporting his soft body. Lu Bixing was wearing an old cotton shirt, one after another, recording the energy response around him. At this moment, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gesture to the frame, and enclosed Lin Jingheng in it. Looking through his fingers, he felt that he had cut it off A movie poster.
"General," Lu Bixing said, "when you were studying at Wulan College, did you ever secretly take your girlfriend... or boyfriend out to play?"
Lin Jingheng was silent for a while, and just when Lu Bixing thought he was pretending to be deaf again When he became mute, Lin Jingheng said: "Ulan College is a military school, and the supervision is much stricter than this shabby iron base. If you can't get out, you will be detained if you are caught."
And his experience of escaping from the school Only once did I come back and was imprisoned in a "coffin" for three days.
The evening in the morning star was so calm and calm, there wasn't even a frog blocking the road. The mecha's top speed was close to the speed of sound, and it only took a quarter of an hour to complete more than 300 kilometers.
Soon, the road began to widen, and there was even an orbital highway not far away. The energy collector that had been silent all the way finally began to have subtle fluctuations. In the distance, faint lights and tall buildings could be seen vaguely, with the shadow of the city.
Lu Bixing thought for a while: "Captain Turan Guard is actually..."
Lin Jingheng said nothing and walked over. The energy collector seemed dead. The fool also knew that Turan was tricking people.
"...Actually, you were entrusted by me to help me ask you out." Although Lu Bixing was forcibly bought and sold, as a vested interest, he still gritted his teeth and took the blame righteously, and looked at Lin Jingheng cautiously. With a glance, "Lin, are you angry?"
Lin Jingheng didn't say anything for a minute, and then asked with an unexpected answer: "We're almost there."
Lu Bixing suddenly raised his head.
Lin Jingheng: "I won't do it next time."
Lu Bixing suddenly turned his head out of the car window and saw his face on the car window that couldn't suppress a silly smile. In order to maintain his temperament, he adjusted his eyebrows for five minutes before getting his eyebrows back into place.
Then he took out his personal terminal and tinkered with it for a moment. There was a flash on his wrist, the loading bar flashed across quickly, a virtual screen jumped out, and an ancient satellite network map unfolded - Cengwang Experts got on the city intranet.
Lu Bixing whistled and synchronized the signal to Lin Jingheng like he was showing off his skills: "Three and a half seconds, breaking my personal record."
He poked and checked the city information with great interest: "This place is called Galaxy City. It has a permanent population of more than three million... It has a core business district and special food! Lin, do you like chocolate pancakes? "
...What the hell? No." Lin Jingheng slowed down to the level of a normal classic car and took out another car. He held a cigarette, stuffed his mouth, and thought a little worriedly: This kid is talented, but he just won't grow up.
He put a helpless hand on the disguised steering wheel of the mecha car and slowly drove the car into the "Galaxy City Welcomes You" highway entrance. I don't know if his aura was too strong, but as soon as he passed, the neon light on the welcome sign went out with a pop, and a small green smoke came out of it.
"And casinos...didn't it mean that the monetary and credit system collapsed? What did they bet on? Lin, guess what they use as currency now?"
An eternal question in the history of philosophy entered General Lin's busy brain.
"Where am I?" he thought to himself, "Why am I here?"
In the eighth galaxy, it is impossible to find a bustling metropolis. Morning Star is actually not as good as Beijing Beta Star, but it has a better climate. Endless winter, so it looks a little more vibrant.
The so-called "core business district" is actually a bunch of intricate alleys, surrounded by privately built small sheds, with some roadside stalls in the sheds. There are no rules and regulations in and out of the building, and the pitted ground is filled with domestic sewage and garbage, mixed with the smell of food, which is quite unpleasant.
A small robot shouted back and forth with a voice like scrap metal: "Three nutritional needles in exchange for one thousand yuan of "street tickets". Guests from outside come and line up here! In the evening, three nutritional needles, enjoy the service throughout the night!"
Lin Jingheng After looking around for a while with hands behind their backs, I found that this small block formed a primitive economic community. Outsiders exchanged nutritional needles for a kind of voucher points and paid the points to merchants. The merchants then settled with the block and exchanged them for nutritional needles to save nutrition. Needles are too expensive to open a small business.
Lu Bixing had already stuffed three nutritional needles into the robot's belly. The robot swallowed it with a beep. After a moment, it fired a light at Lu Bixing's wrist, and the one thousand yuan "street ticket" was transferred to his hand.
"I beg you." Lu Bixing said. Suddenly, a group of hawkers pushing a push truck passed by. To avoid being scattered in the narrow alley, Lu Bixing grabbed Lin Jingheng's hand and felt the hand subconsciously pull out slightly. After a moment, he immediately pulled him over.
A basin of water was poured from the building next to him, just where Lu Bixing was standing.
Lin Jingheng: "Be careful."
