wandering planet

Pierre immediately started the translation process.

Since military ships and civilian ships use different frequencies, Faust's system needed to find a correct translation program to communicate between the two types of ships.

Bering stood dumbfounded, and suddenly said: "Isn't it just asking 'who are you' again..."

"Senior sister, which ship's communication frequency is this?" Lin Ni was shocked, "How could it be possible to reply so quickly?"

Now 30 years later, the communication frequencies between the Marseille ground port and the ship have all changed, so Faust could not contact the Marseille ground port at all after returning to the correct route.

When falling into the gravitational circle of the galaxy's nucleus, if Copernicus hadn't turned on the all-channel receiving equipment, it would have been impossible for him to receive Faust's message——in the vast universe, that beam of weak, inconspicuous help.

The 1026 frequency can reply so quickly, which means that the frequency has been turned on.It is a frequency familiar to Bering, so it is a frequency that existed 30 years ago.

Why is 1026 not cancelled?Who is always on this frequency, waiting for a certain message that will appear at an unknown time?

Translations are happening fast.Amidst the slight sound of beeps, Bering spoke in a puzzled and bewildered manner.

"1026...is a communication frequency secretly set by Samuel when I was in love with him."

When Bering was admitted to the Marseille Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Samuel was already an intern in the Marseille Fleet Communications and Information Office.

An important learning task for freshmen after enrollment is to visit the Marseille fleet, which naturally includes the communications and intelligence room of the fleet's core organization.

According to Samuel's love letter, he fell in love with Bering at first sight when the freshmen came to visit.

The cheeky senior brother pursues the young junior sister.Bering was curious about the work content of the communications intelligence room, so Samuel secretly set up a frequency that was only used for private communication between the two without revealing the secret: 1026.

This is an old frequency that will no longer be used. It was used by several transport ships to communicate with each other during the "Great Evacuation".But as these transport ships disappeared and crashed during the retreat, frequency 1026 has never been used again.

After the establishment of the Marseille fleet, the communication frequency was reset, and they did not activate the frequency they had used before.

Samuel took advantage of this loophole and successfully set 1026 as a secret channel that only he and Bering could use.

Even the marriage proposal, Samuel is also carried out on the 1026 frequency.

At that time, he had already become the captain of the military ship Luge and began to perform heavy patrol duties.

Nearly a month after being attacked by an alien creature and losing contact, the Rouge finally sent a message back to the surface port.All members of the Rouge are safe and sound, and they are heading home.

Because of Samuel's disappearance, Bering's Beagle personality test deviated, and she was temporarily not allowed to board the ship.She was in contact with a friend when the news came back, asking if there was any way he could get herself a ship, and she was going out to find Samuel.

Then the communication receiver, which had been on all the time, lit up a reminder light.

In Bering's cries, Samuel proposed to her.

Samuel couldn't hear Bering's answer because everyone in the Rouge's cockpit was cheering.

He kept asking over there: "Did you promise? Darling, promise me?"

Bering repeated frantically here: "I promise! I promise!"

"So why do you want a divorce?" Pimi and the deputy captain got together, listening with gusto, and didn't even want to change the file, "It sounds like you are so in love."

"It's only after we got married that we found out that we have different ideas." Bering's expression was very complicated. "We have argued many times, and we both feel very tired. He is a soldier and the captain of the Luge. He has his principles. I didn't If you can’t agree with his principles, you can’t go on.”

Lin Ni asked curiously, "What principle?"

"For example, when you are performing a mission, a nearby civilian ship has a major accident. The surface port does not allow you to come close to rescue, and without your rescue, everyone on the civilian ship will die, you Will you drive a military ship to rescue them?" Bering frowned slightly, recalling the many disputes between himself and Samuel, "You should have heard or learned about this incident. Samuel's answer Yes, he will definitely not go to rescue."

Lin Ni nodded: "I remembered, this is a real incident. In the end, the military ship was not dispatched, and the civilian ship burned for three hours, and all the more than 2000 people on board disappeared."

"...he is very cold-blooded." Bering said wearily, "very cold-blooded, I never thought that he is such a person."

Lin Ni thought for a while and said, "But for you, he has already violated the rules."

Bering: "?"

"Receiving messages from unregistered communication frequencies on a military ship has seriously violated the safety regulations of military ships." Linney looked at Bering, "to put it too far, this is collaborating with the enemy."

Bering was obviously stunned.

"It's okay just to receive it. It can be explained as a wrong receipt, and it can be refuted." Lin Ni shrugged, "But he actually replied. Back in Marseille, Samuel will definitely be sent for review."

At this point, the translation is complete.

An old voice sounded in the cockpit.

"Bering, it's me," Samuel said.

The moment he heard Samuel's voice, Bering suddenly thought he had heard wrong.

Everything around me seemed to disappear, to melt.She was still her twenty-something self, running from the bedroom to the living room, falling and scraping her elbow in such a hurry.And the communication receiver on the table was on, and Samuel's voice came from inside.

She forgot whether it was because of pain, or fear, or something else—Bering only remembered that she burst into tears, crawled to the table when she couldn't stand up, and grabbed the communication receiver in hand.

Bering, it's me.

Her lover spoke in a calm, composed tone, as he always greeted her.There might be a hint of a smile, or a little nervous hesitation.He escaped from the distant starry sky, calmly but eagerly, trying to get in touch with Bering.

What's the next sentence?The next thing Samuel said—Bering remembered, she never forgot—was: I'm back, let's get married.

"Bering, it's me." Samuel's old voice came out of the loudspeaker, a little distorted, but still clear and powerful, "Don't be afraid, I'll pick you up."

Bering closed his eyes.

She was still in her twenties at best, and so was Samuel.There was never 30 years between them.In the event of losing contact for a month, although it was full of fear and despair, at least they were still young, and they still had enough life to know and love each other deeply.

But Samuel was old.

At this moment, Bering realized very clearly that Samuel's time was ahead of him, 30 years ahead of him.

She seemed to fall down again.Her hands and feet were bruised somewhere, and the pain made her shed tears.

No one expected that Bering would start crying after hearing Samuel's two words.They were at a loss and even forgot to comfort her.

Bering cried for a while, wiped away his tears, threw himself in front of the console and grabbed the microphone: "I'm here. Faust is going back now..."

She briefly explained to Samuel what Faust was going to do next.

"Follow your course," said Samuel. "The Rouge is now sailing for Faust."

Bering froze for a moment: "Wait...Samuel, where is the Luge?"

Samuel reported the location of the Rouge.

It is seven hours sailing time from Faust, and it is not the closest to Faust.

Captain Samuel of the Rouge attempted to mobilize his own ships to rescue Faust, an unauthorized operation.

"Don't hesitate." Samuel spoke to Bering again, "Bering, protect your ship and passengers. Leave the rest to me."

After a pause, he said in a soft voice: "Bering, today is the last time I leave port as the captain of the Luge, and it is also my last day working in the fleet. I am so happy to receive your message. Going crazy. Since you disappeared, every time I board the Luge, I will turn on frequency 1026. I know that if you are still alive, you will definitely contact me. Don't worry, don't hesitate, I am my age... what am I Not afraid."

Bering managed to calm down, but his nose started to feel sore again.

"Let me take you home." Samuel's voice sounded deep in her ear.

"There are still 10 minutes before we enter the gravitational circle of Graia B." The deputy captain, who has been monitoring the time and speed, said, "Captain, should we continue?"

Bering had already returned to the captain's seat.

"Attention all units, from now on, move forward at full speed!"

Faust began to accelerate.It needs to use Graia B's gravitational circle to increase its own speed, so its own speed must be maintained at the highest level, otherwise it cannot fly to Rust 031 smoothly while saving fuel.

Bering turned his head to look at Jiang Che, Ovid, and Tang Mo who had changed a lollipop: "Irrelevant people fix themselves and don't interfere with our work..."

"Please give me the lifeboat!" Amidst the chaotic voices, Jiang Che shouted loudly, "Captain, we are not going back to Marseilles, we are going to the Black Sea. Please give us the lifeboat!"

Bering: "...What?!"

Lin Ni, who was studying the rotation speed of Graia B and Rust 031, suddenly raised his head and stared closely at Jiang Che.

"To... the Black Sea?" He unconsciously repeated Jiang Che's words.
