Him and their stars

Generally speaking, most people in the Far Coast sector reacted relatively indifferently to Yu Lian's relocation order. Xin Shuntian, the capital of the sector with a population of more than one billion, is a very typical example.

Yu Lian didn't think this was a serious crime. No matter what era you are in, it is not a sin to want to live.

Fortunately, since there are some who are uncooperative, there are certainly those who are quite cooperative.

For example, the New Tennessee Planet, where Miss Dana Jefferson serves as the Secretary-General of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Association; another example, the New Seville Planet, where Miss Lilia Alfonso serves as the Chief of Staff of the Militia and the Commander of the Orbital Gendarmerie; Finally, for example, Miss Ye Zhixia serves as the planetary administrator and mayor of Maple City Lumina.

Putting aside the armed cowboys of New Tennessee and the armed fishermen of New Seville, the 500,000 technicians who set out from Lumina to New China were indeed the entire technical backbone of the Red Maple Factory.

Before the main force of the rest of the fleet broke away from the encirclement and rushed to the mountain and sea channel, the girls had already arrived in New China with their own troops, and even had a new factory. Dana led the cowboys to reclaim land in Tianshu, Lilia led the veterans of the militia to reorganize into the Marine Corps, and Zhixia directly entered the Sector Military Control Commission as deputy secretary. Everyone has a bright future.

"These little foxes are doing a pretty good job." Feifei commented on this, showing off her leadership style.

Of course, whether it was in her student days or her current military rank, she was indeed the leader of the girls.

The girls did a great job indeed. Without them, Yu Lian's migration order would not have been carried out to this extent.

The urban area of ​​Maple City has doubled in size compared to when Yu Lian was there, but the Red Maple Factory has expanded more than ten times? It is now the largest heavy industry complex group with the metallurgical industry as its core in the entire Far Coast Star Region.

But even such a Red Maple Factory would inevitably be in trouble after Zhixia took away 500,000 skilled technicians and engineers in all core positions.

Speaking of which, Mr. Luger may be the only engineer left in the entire Red Maple Factory. Yu Lian looked at the old factory director and couldn't help but think.

Mr. Luger said frankly: "I am the only remaining engineer at the Red Maple Factory, an old man waiting to retire who just handles the job."

It’s really a co-authorship!

"The factory lacks skilled masters, and if we try to force production, it will be too easy for safety accidents to occur. However, once production is stopped and some large equipment is shut down and left there, it is easy for accidents to happen." The factory director continued: "So... , my last job before retiring as the factory director was to dismantle the four solar furnaces. "

Because the steel plant is going on holiday, the blast furnace must be dismantled. This is what the director said.

Yu Lian looked at the five man-made objects standing in the core of the factory area, each of which was more than a hundred meters tall. From the appearance, it looked like a pyramid made of pipelines and metal modules. It still had a sense of technology. . Naturally, there was not much left of the patchwork green-skin style of building blocks.

Yu Lian was a little hurt. This is not the Red Maple Factory that I am familiar with.

"You can actually do it a long time ago." He said to the factory director.

"Hahaha, but you didn't design this stove after all? We still want to ask your opinion."

What I "designed" is actually just a green guy. Yu Lian thought.

"Tear it down." He said in a calm tone.

Mr. Luge also nodded calmly. As an old factory director who has watched these solar furnaces rise from the ground, he is even calmer than Yu Lian.

A few seconds later, through the windows of the city hall, Yu Lian clearly saw that four huge pyramid-shaped "buildings" comparable to high-rise buildings collapsed quickly like building block towers that had been stripped of their load-bearing bodies. The core equipment for producing Tai's alloy was submerged in the huge smoke and dust, and completely disappeared from Yu Lian's sight.

What a resolute old factory manager!

"Long live!" There was a burst of cheers at the city hall.

Under Yu Lian's stunned eyes, everyone applauded one after another, and even two old Lumina people dressed like fighting cocks jumped up and danced awkwardly hand in hand, like Two giant beetles fighting.

Yu Lian felt that this scene was a bit too cheerful. Even if it was a wedding or funeral, it would not involve such singing and dancing.

"What a touching scene!" Chief Alfonso wiped away the non-existent tears and looked at the direction of the complete collapse of the solar furnace. His tone was full of sighs: "Our offshore light rail loop, our tidal power array , they are all produced by those four big guys. It seems that we are sending away four veterans who have fulfilled their duties!"

The director of Ruger laughed loudly: "So, they have indeed completed their historical mission."

"And our shipyards and arsenals, they have also completed their historical missions. Probably..." Mr. Alfonso rubbed his hands and lit a pipe for himself.

The Lumina Shipyard and Arsenal are both orbital production facilities and are theoretically the common property of the two planets. In fact, more money was invested in New Seville in the early stages of construction.

"I originally thought that the shipyard would be able to produce destroyers by next year and the costs would be recovered, but now it's all gone." Chief Alfonso said.

Director Luger comforted his old partner: "At least the shipyard has produced a total of 50 lightning strike ships and 200 fighters. Oh, yes, General Yu, don't forget, there are still 40 Red Phantoms in the shipyard hangar. , which just came off the production line last month, even the plastic seal on the transmission has not been removed, but be sure to bring it with you. In addition, there are 100 pilots who have just completed training, including 20 Lumina guys. ”

"I still have plenty of space on my boat," Yu Lianda said. He really didn't expect the unexpected surprise. There are never too few fighter planes and pilots at any time. However, compared to the fighter planes, what makes me more gratified is actually the Lumina pilots.

Who says that a two-meter-tall longhorn beetle with four arms can’t fly a plane? Doesn't this show the versatility of our community fighter planes?

This is the fighting opportunity of the working people.

Director Luger thought for a while and opened his terminal again: "And our arsenal, in the last week, has produced 200 million long and short guns and 10 million AKs."

"What about these weapons?" Yu Lian stared at the old factory director.

"They are all buried in the vast forests and vast grasslands of Rumina, and can never be found again." The factory director spread his hands and said seriously.

Yu Lian couldn't help but look at Mr. Alfonso again. The latter took a strong sip from his pipe, and his face flashed with the calmness of a fisherman: "Half of it sank in the deep sea of ​​New Seville, and maybe they were all eaten by the king loach." . The price of Bawang loach must be increased next year, especially if the new emperor wants to eat it, it would be a disgrace to their status if the price is not increased. "

"I understand, the price of Lumina's moa meat must also increase accordingly." Miss Huiji McGee said. In fact, she is no longer working as a factory clerk, but has become the general manager of a life company, in charge of the food, drink, and toilet of the entire factory and its employees' families. This chubby black aunt is probably the person in the room who knows Lumina’s prices best.

"Yes! There are more fruit trees that can grow guns and ion cannons in the forest now. The young men will gain a lot every time they go hunting." A Lumina elder let out a heroic laugh.

"Yes, there is also straw that can grow ion cannons! Here's to our magical Lumina home." Mr. Bekai, who was still dressed as an old worker, agreed. The oldest master of the Red Maple Factory is no longer able to work on the front line, but his body is still strong and his spirit is still strong. He is still the old trade union chairman that everyone respects.

Having said that, you, an old trade union chairman, are not busy giving out dried moa meat and sugar-oil snacks to everyone, but are you busy picking up ion cannons in the grassland?

Before Yu Lian could say anything like this, someone was actually making noises.

The old man patted the table and said confidently: "I am the chairman of the trade union. What should I give out? In the past, we could give out dried meat and cakes, but now we can't give out rifles and ion cannons? Captain, do you think this is true?"

The only ones who can confidently call the newly promoted general Yu Lian "captain" are these old workers of the Red Maple Factory. Yu Lian felt a little sad for a moment, then nodded slowly: "That's true."

"Look, the captain has said so. Do you have any other opinions?" The old union chairman slapped the table.

Naturally, everyone said "I don't dare", and then burst into laughter. The scene was immediately filled with joy.

It seemed as if everyone was not attracting the arrival of a group of invaders at all, but a grand festival.

Yu Lian sighed: "...Did Zhixia really take away all the technical backbone?"

The old factory director of Luger chuckled: "I can only guarantee that I am indeed the last engineer left at the Maple Factory."

"Where is the factory protection team?" Yu Lian's eyes rested on the youngest and strongest Lumina man at the scene. He has a dark brown carapace, which makes him very suitable for fighting in the wild.

Dejita, the "Security Department Manager" of the Red Maple Factory, felt the sight of the superior and couldn't help but trembled, but still replied seriously: "Of course I will follow Mayor Ye to New China. I heard that He Lu can be found there. The climate of Mina is exactly the same on the planet, and although the people of Rumina are quite immobile, they should be able to settle down there.”

As long as they are serious creatures, they will feel the warmth of their hometown on the Gaia planet of Tianshu Star. I want to thank this great planet that even has the aura of life scattered in its atmosphere.

This Lumina young man named Dejita is very young and strong, but he is the second security director after Xia Shake came to Xinyumen as a security officer.

After all, he is still a very rare psyker among the Rumina people, and he is also a very rare professional officer with a professional background - Dejita graduated from the Tiannan Armored Forces Academy last year and is a well-trained marine officer. Has the rank of second lieutenant. He was also one of the first Lumina professional soldiers.

The second lieutenant of the Marine Corps of the Community works part-time as the "Security Director", which can be regarded as a professional counterpart for the time being.

"You know what I mean." Yu Lian stared at the young Rumina man.

As for the unit written as "Red Maple Factory Guard Team" and pronounced as "Lumina Army", at most it numbered more than 100,000 people, all of whom were well-trained and well-equipped. In the brutal Seder tug-of-war, at least 30,000 Hong Maple disciples died among the galaxies on the far bank. Of course, the rest also evacuated to New China along with the main force of the Yu fleet and Zhi Xia.

However, Yu Lian knew that since the beginning of the war, Lumina was likely to be the first planet in the entire community to enter the wartime mobilization system. As many young people were sent to the front line of Sai De, more young people entered the barracks to receive complete military training.

Yu Lian also knew that even on the eve of the fall of Sai De, there were still 40,000 to 50,000 young and strong men in the camp outside Fengcheng, half of whom were humans and half were Lumina people.

However, this time, Yu Lian did not see these people.

The young security director hesitated and was speechless.

But the old Ruger factory director replied: "The factory is also going to be closed. The wages of the factory guards can't be paid. They all decided to find a way to make a living and ran away to the outside of the city as nomads."

"Yes, nomads, we Lumina people have always been a carnivorous nation." The security director hurriedly said.

Yu Lian sighed: "The war process has come to an end. Lumina's wartime mobilization can be lifted."

The union chairman, Mr. Bekay, laughed: "Come on, Captain, you are not Lumina's special commissioner now! You can't control us."

Hey, hey, hey, three minutes ago your attitude was "Captain said so, what else do you have to say?"

Yu Lian looked at the other party helplessly. This worker with the longest experience in the Red Maple Factory is indeed qualified to take advantage of his seniority.

The old worker thought of something and added: "Of course, you can also order us to stop through the party. As the first batch of veteran members of the Pioneer Party, we will definitely obey the organization's orders. But, we have to convene the Executive Committee first, right?"

"I don't have the time. We can't even gather more than half of the committee members now! Tsk, what a makeshift team?" Yu Lian said unhappily, and then he couldn't stop laughing:

"Well, I really can't control you. At most, I can only remind you that struggle requires methods. Lumina is an old district, but it must not become a cold monument. So, let's do it."

"The captain has an order! Just do it according to our plan!" Old Beike shouted.

"Long live!" Everyone cheered again, the atmosphere was warm and sincere. Yu Lian felt that he was indeed being played again, but he really didn't want to express any opinions on this.

Amid the cheers of the rough men, Auntie Maggie's voice was still very clear: "Captain, you are leaving soon, right?"

Yu Lian did not intend to hide it from everyone: "Yes, from Lumina into the Far Shore Nebula to get rid of the pursuers. I have been there once, and I am familiar with it."

"Captain, will you come back in the future?" The black aunt stared at Yu Lian, her eyes bright as the sun.

I will come back. Yu Lian was about to answer this, but was interrupted by the other party.

"Hey, take this. I pickled the moa jerky myself, and this is your favorite. I still remember it." Auntie Maggie dragged her fat but round body and took out a huge oil paper bag from under her table.

Yu Lian thought of when he was still a special envoy. At that time, he led everyone to refine the first pot of Tyr alloy from the No. 1 solar furnace in the village, and the main dish of everyone's celebration banquet was a roasted moa.

Of course, he still remembers that the grill was built by Buska and the barbecue was done by Babalu himself, but the seasoning sauce is said to be Auntie Maggie's unique family secret recipe.

Now, the young children of the Red Maple Factory have gone to various star regions in the universe, fighting and seeking the truth, while workers like Auntie Maggie are still staying in the factory.

The factory is going to be demolished, but the old aunt is still here.

Yu Lian misses this taste very much.

"I will come back." He picked up the huge oil paper bag with one hand and said to everyone.
