Most Wanted [Interstellar]

Chapter 30

The journey to Titan is not too far away, and the white planet can be seen from space not long after the spacecraft takes off.Because of orbital problems, it is rarely covered by the Titan star, and most of the time it is bathed in the morning light of the star, shining brightly like a diamond.Annie had been working for nearly forty hours. At the moment, she was catching up on sleep in the VIP cabin, while Galen stayed alone in the VIP cabin with several senior officers in a daze.

Johannes seemed to have a lot on his mind, a rare look of anxiety on his face that he hadn't seen much in his career.In the known universe, human beings have never encountered a real opponent. Although the combat environment on some planets is difficult and the casualties are high, modern soldiers actually rarely have the opportunity to participate in the game between people in ancient wars. .After many years, they finally fought against the human enemy again, and the pressure was completely different.

When he was alone with Johannes, Galen would also be nervous. Although he was someone he admired, Alpha's own aura could always be classified into a different level.The only one who was not affected was Planck, who had been given a pacifier. He looked at the information in his hand with a natural expression.

"Captain Galen."

Planck, who was buried in the words, suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" Galen was taken aback. He didn't know why he suddenly opened his mouth. Did he want to chat with him?

"How about Schubert's laboratory?"

"?"

"Owen-Misterioso's special laboratory, I heard that she took you there." Planck seemed to have thought of this topic inadvertently.

"Of course it's very good...but I don't understand it very well...I'm just kidding, sir, after all, I am..." Galen was eager to find his words, "For an unprofessional person, I can only watch the fun, but I just think it's quite interesting. Interesting, brightly colored."

"When I was a soldier, I only received elementary education, but the level of elementary education is not bad. I see that you had good grades in all subjects before you entered the military academy. You are about to leave the army at this age. You can consider It’s a matter of further study, and it would be good to have the opportunity to take Schubert’s postgraduate exam in the future, she is a good teacher.”

"How can I pass the exam?" The room was full of officers, and Galen began to be humble as a routine.

"Don't go under my nose, okay?" Johannes joined the conversation.

Plank showed him a meaningful smile: "Okay, I just said it casually," and then he suddenly changed the subject, "Is this the latest type of guest ship? I heard that this type has a viewing platform, Can you take a look with me?"

"..." Johannes wanted to take a break and look at the battle plan, so he frowned, "Okay."

"Come with Captain Galen." Plank also invited him.

Galen stood there at a loss, and Johannes nodded at him: "Come on."

The lifting platform brought them to the uppermost floor of the travel cabin. This is a small viewing platform that can provide military lookouts. Compared with the equipment of other dedicated guest ships, it is very simple.Probably because everyone was not in a good mood, there were only three of them in the empty viewing platform.Plank walked to the railing, found a seat and sat down: "I remember that when Hess Berg rebelled, I was still an infantry soldier. This is the last war between humans, right?"

"Having said that, it's still different from this time. Hess Berg spent so many years deliberating in the distant galaxy before rebelling. His army strength is almost one-third of the federal government's army strength. Can’t be compared with him.” Johannes knew he had something to say, and he sat down too: “There are the latest military installations on Taipa, so it shouldn’t be a problem to fight against the old military department 50 years ago with its current strength. big."

"If the problem is not serious, you don't need to let us all follow." Plank said to him with a smile.

"Planck, you don't have to do this. I promise you that the military department will always work closely with the federation. As long as I still serve as the marshal, it will not change." Johannes didn't like talking in circles very much. The company's attitude is too sensitive, and the military department will not be led by the nose by a civilian company.

Planck was not thinking about anything that could be related to the general company. He took out something from his bag: "This is a life support tank dedicated to the Owen-Misterioso laboratory." He stood up and stuffed the small tank into the In the hands of Galen who was standing aside.

After the two officers sat down, they didn't invite him to sit down too. Galen stood awkwardly by the side, not knowing what role he would play in this conversation. He guessed for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but now, he understood it all at once. up.

Johannes' complexion became a little bad: "..."

"Here's what you're looking for in this jar," Plank said, as if to say something trivial.

"What do you mean?"

"This jar is not empty," Plank spread his hands. "This can be a gift from the Federation to the military department, but I hope it's a gift, not something else."

Johannes' face turned green with embarrassment, and he couldn't help but glanced sideways at Galen. Galen's expression was also frozen—he put this jar about ten hours ago, and he didn't know why it would be taken away so soon. Find out, you know that Planck was still busy with a group of people in a meeting at that time!

"We've known each other for years, and I hope we're at least friends apart from work," Plank said, looking into Johannes' eyes. "I don't think Erwin Herman is someone we can deal with easily." opponent, I hope that before we officially capture him, everyone will be free of any barriers."

"Will you tell Anne?"

"She won't know," Planck glanced at Galen when he said this, "To be honest, this thing is nothing to the Academy Federation, but at least this project is the work of Anne Schubert's paper digging Subject matter, if you also treat her as a friend, I hope you don't do it too much."

"Of course." Johannes couldn't help wiping his sweat, he wasn't used to losing his momentum when talking to others.

"I don't mean anything else." Plank stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "I'll see you at the New Military Department later."

The doors to the observation deck closed, and it was just the two of them now, Johannes looking at his adjutant, and his adjutant staring back at him.

"How did he do it?"

Galen shook his head: "I just made a small move, and the people closest to me didn't notice it. Marshal, I...I really find it incredible."

Johannes resigned to his fate: "...after this matter is over, you should also check this out."

Galen gave a military salute to his officer.

About half an hour after this unpleasant conversation ended, the white Taiwei appeared in front of everyone.When Titan was first selected as the capital, the military department took a fancy to it, and they called it the White Bride.This planet is a rocky planet covered by fresh water. The ice layer on its surface is very thick. Even the thinnest part is hundreds of meters. Under the ice layer is a vast ocean. All military deployment units can be underwater. Move freely.This is not a good thing for the attackers. Among the enemies encountered by modern humans, no one has yet created a weapon that can destroy a planet, so the excellent natural conditions of Taiwei put it in an absolutely safe place. Location.

This is incomparable to the old military headquarters - Famagusta.

After the spaceship entered the atmosphere of Titan Moon, it stopped in a dedicated ice port. After a simple orbit switch, the spaceship transferred to the orbit built in the ice layer, and then went straight to the underwater headquarters.

The control center of the military headquarters is an oval multi-nuclear submarine, where the latest second-generation aircraft and the first-generation aircraft still in service are placed. Although it is an underwater building, the area here is almost the same as that of the Famagusta military headquarters. same size.

There is no habit of injecting pacifiers here. After opening the cabin door, a familiar smell rushed towards Galen. He glanced back at Annie who was traveling with him, and he saw Annie's suppressed and disgusted face.

"Hold it, or everyone will be unhappy." Galen reminded her kindly.

However, it was useless. Most of these poor scientists were betas. During the warm welcome ceremony of the military department, everyone almost vomited, and the scene was once very embarrassing.

"We're just a little dizzy...it has nothing to do with you..." Annie forcefully explained.

The little adjutant who received her looked aggrieved: "No way...Vice President, one of your omegas was forced to go into heat just now..."

"No...he's just..."

"How long will it take to get into work?" Plank came over and asked her business.

Annie was taken aback by him: "...huh?" Planck's pacifier seemed to have no effect now, and even his face became a little scary in this pheromone-filled space, "I , probably... there is still a while..."

Although they entered the control room, the scene was still very chaotic, the scientists huddled together, and the male and female alphas of the military department were not helping.

"Let them all inject pacifiers! Those who don't inject are not allowed to enter!" Johannes gave an inhumane order.

This group of enthusiastic alphas felt wronged, and they didn't know why they would frighten people of the other gender. After a short but ineffective protest, everyone mumbled and queued up to get the injection.

"Your pacifier." Plank handed Johannes one.

"?"

"You said it yourself." Plank shook the medicine bottle in his hand, "To be honest, your smell is the best."

Today is really the most embarrassing day for the military department. From the marshal to the soldiers, they are all disgusted by the academy federation.

"Wonderful!" Annie whispered to Galen. "Johannes smells like my sister today!"

"Honey," Galen said to her with a sad face, "Alpha's hearing is very good, the marshal has heard what you just said."

That's right, Johannes, who was standing at the other end of the conference room, was looking at them fiercely at the moment.

Annie was also embarrassed: "He... what did he say?"

Galen pursed her lips, wrote a dirty word on a sticky note and handed it to her.

"I hope this battle can be won quickly, so that our awkward relationship will be over." Johannes turned around and complained to Plank.

Plank just smiled.

Johannes didn't bother to argue with them. He clapped his hands and asked everyone to sit down. Time was running out, and now he had to announce their battle plan.

Alvin fell asleep, and he had a dream of a red wasteland and endless wind and sand. He didn't know if this dream coincided with the prototype machine's dream, he only knew that this dream was abnormally cold.

Erwin didn't like this cold dream, and he urged himself to wake up from this unreliable sleep.

"Have you... played enough?" Alvin found someone playing with his fingers.

Schlieffen put his hands down and pretended he wasn't playing.

"You're already so idle..." Alvin sighed.

"Oh!" Schlieffen walked up to him and sat down, "Today, your massage and shower have been done, and I have nothing else to do!"

"I heard that you like Ivan underground very much. You can find it for tea. I remember it can make tea."

"No thanks!"! "Schlieffen refused, "Every time I talk to it, I get hit hard. "

Alvin laughed loudly: "What are you talking about with it? Why did it hit you? I think alpha is hard to hit."

"Talk about Planck."

"..." Alvin thought for a while: "He..."

"Is he a perfect man?"

"Maybe from a man's point of view?" Alvin is also a man. He doesn't know what Anne will think of it, but from his point of view, Planck probably counts.

"In order to prevent this robot from exaggerating, I checked in my existing materials, and his resume looks really scary. He has made many achievements during his military service. At that time, if he wanted to live on the battlefield It’s hard to come down, he must be really good, right?”

"Yeah, the survival rate of alpha at that time was even lower than it is now." Erwin didn't want to talk about Planck, so he changed the subject, "What about you? Have you ever been on a battlefield?"

"I have done it. If you are willing to choose the frontline troops in the first two years of military service, you will be given a chance to take an exam in the third year. Those who pass the exam can choose police posts. But the frontline troops you choose must still be infantry. This is The arms with the lowest survival rate."

"How many people did you choose?"

"Not many, I am the only candidate in the entire academy. When I went for the physical examination, there were only about a dozen people."

"How many survived?"

"Half." Galen raised his hand, "Our combat units were sent to distant galaxies, where the creatures have the same IQ as humans, but the technology has not yet developed to our level. Unfortunately, we were captured as slaves during the battle." Yes, this group of aliens almost cut off half of my body in order to abuse me... But I escaped, and others were not so lucky. After all, the cost of rescuing us is too high, and we are not an important task , nor is gender important... Speaking of which, I seem to have been captured again."

"Are you satisfied with your captive life this time?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure if you'll end up cutting off something from me."

Alvin's expression was like joking: "If possible, it's best to cut off your memory, so that you are only captured once, will it feel better in terms of self-esteem?"

Shilieffen froze for a moment: "Then you might as well cut off my hand again."

"Well, well, remember," Alvin said to him with a smile, "However, before I cut off your hand, you'd better tidy up the basement. I will ask Ivan to find a detailed installation tutorial for you later. You, you better stop playing, at least spend some time trying to put the engine back in, Ivan, please come up and take Schlieffen to repair the mecha again."

"What about you?"

"Me? I'll sleep for a while." Alvin clearly felt that his health was deteriorating, "Don't worry, paralysis is not fatal, I'm just more painful."

"Okay, remember to call me if you have anything to do." Schlieffen hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything after all.

The elevator opened, and Ivan stood in the elevator waiting for him. Schlieffen glanced at him again, turned and walked into the elevator, and closed the door.

"You are very silent today." In the elevator, Schlieffen said nothing, and Yiwen took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Yeah." Schlieffen responded casually, he doesn't care about mechs now, he is worried about other things.He remembered the string of numbers he accidentally saw on the display screen of the wheelchair when Alvin had a fever last time. Compared with what he saw today, he seemed to understand the meaning of the string of numbers.

The implication made him nervous.
