wandering planet

Cicero Minley Leeswright is a child of the Leeswright family and one of the most outstanding students since the establishment of the Marseille Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Shortly after graduating from school, Cicero took part in a military campaign wearing the orange badge, the hallmark of a distinguished graduate.In this military operation, as a lieutenant of the fleet, he did not hold any important position.But when the fleet was attacked by alien creatures, Cicero moved the captain's body away and directed the retreat himself.

Thanks to his command, the fleet suffered very little loss during the retreat, and successfully brought back the Maasai migrant workers who were working on the target planet back to Marseille.

When preparing for the award, the fleet discovered that the young man was the son of General Lee Swright.At that time, General Lee Swright had just become the head of the fleet.

The reward order came down soon.Cicero became the youngest admiral ever in the fleet of Marseilles.

This shocking personnel change caused many, many controversies, but in the end it was all over.Cicero began to serve as the captain of a military ship, and as his capabilities continued to show, the controversy gradually became smaller and smaller.

From this perspective, Cicero's career and life are very smooth, he has become the pride of General Lee Swright, but also the pride of Linney.

The students of the Marseille Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics will participate in actual combat exercises on the eve of graduation, and those with good grades can participate more than once.They'll leave the academy's simulators to literally train and fight on land and in the air.When Linney participated in his last actual combat exercise, he served as the pilot of a battleship.

Before the maneuvers had even begun, the teacher suddenly called him aside and told him that Cicero had forged a pass without an order from his superiors and had now left Marseilles in his battleship and was on his way to Alpha.

Marseille is located in the Alpha galaxy. Alpha is a star larger than the sun, which has continuously erupted with amazing heat and energy for hundreds of billions of years after its formation.And at that time, Alpha just happened to erupt in one of the largest stellar storms ever seen.

The port of Marseilles could not reach Cicero, who cut off all communications.They searched Cicero's personal belongings, but found nothing.

After the day's exercise ended, Linney did not return to the exercise base.He told the logistics personnel that the battleship was low on fuel.The logistics personnel who were in a state of hectic at that time let Linney operate and fill up the fuel without carefully checking the actual fuel stock of the battleship.

The people at the exercise base later discovered that Linney and the battleship he was driving were all gone.

At the same time Linney was found missing, Cicero's battleship exploded close to Alpha.

And the two notices that General Lee Swright was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Marseilles Fleet and his youngest son Linney was awarded the post of General had just arrived in the mailboxes of various departments.Cicero's wife was handing over the application for transfer to Cicero's ship to her father, a high-ranking government official.

Alpha's tongue of fire licked the pitch-black starry sky, splashing out dots of golden light.

"I didn't make it." Linney bent over, stroking the badge on his neck with his fingers, looking lifeless and extremely tired, "I thought at the time, my brother and I have the best relationship, if I make it, If I can persuade him, maybe he can turn back."

Linney failed to leave Marseille.After discovering that Cicero fled Marseille in violation of regulations in the port of Marseille, the ports immediately stepped up their vigilance.Linney and his battleship were stopped shortly after leaving the exercise base.

All he could see was the sudden explosion and burning of that small dot in the far sky.The father who rushed to the fleet was furious, slapped Linney several times, and asked him why he didn't notice Cicero's abnormality.

Linney said nothing until Bering handed Cicero's coat of arms into his hands, when he burst into tears.

Cicero and his battleship exploded, and everything burned up except for this orange badge made of cosmic alloy.It was floating in the universe and was accidentally discovered by Samuel who went to collect the wreckage.

Bering was working at the surface port at the time.The badge came to her from Samuel, and she returned the relic to Cicero's relatives, as prescribed.

But General Lee Swright did not accept.

When the badge was handed over to Lin Ni, it was still hot.The cosmic alloy that has been in a high temperature state is a little soft, and the badge shows scars that have been scorched by the fire, as if it has been scratched by a giant beast.

Linney pierced a small hole in the badge, made it into a chain, and wore it on himself.

Jiang Che did not expect such a story to exist.He moved to Lin Ni's side, and patted Lin Ni on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

"What about the court-martial?" he asked in a low voice.

"The fleet suspects that Cicero has surrendered to the enemy." Linney scratched his hair, "Where is there any enemy... Those alien creatures can't communicate with us normally, who would go to the enemy... But the fleet doesn't believe it. And even if it wasn't Surrendering to the enemy, Cicero driving a battleship to commit suicide is also very suspicious. They investigated for a long time, my father’s promotion was revoked, and my general post was also revoked. But many people still call me a general, and they will Call your father Commander."

Jiang Che thought for a while, and was a little confused: "Your brother is dead, how can the military court try him? Taking a step back, even if there is a trial, you won't be allowed to go."

"The person in charge of investigating this matter is my father's opponent, so the result of the investigation is very unfavorable to my brother." Linney said, "According to the usual practice, if the person under trial is no longer present, his family will go to court to replace him. excuse."

Jiang Che understood: General Lee Swright was unwilling to go.

"Father issued a statement, saying that he was not aware of all the things that my brother did, and said that all things that my brother did would have a fair trial, and he voluntarily gave up his right to defend himself." Lin Ni suddenly became excited and stood beside him fiercely. "He won't let any of us go! But if we give up our defense, then the other party will wantonly insult my brother in a court-martial!"

Jiang Che nodded, indicating that he was still listening.

The fallen cardboard box was full of food, and he recognized that it was a kind of butterfly cake that Tang Mo liked very much.

"So you went in the end?" Jiang Che asked.

"I went without telling my father." Lin Ni raised his head to look at Jiang Che, and said slowly and tiredly, "My sister-in-law was going too, but she was locked up by her family. The marriage relationship between brother and sister-in-law is It was dismissed immediately after the matter came out, the process...is very strange. Anyway, I was the only one who arrived at the court that day."

He frowned, and did not tell Jiang Che what happened in the military court.

"I can't save anything." His voice gradually lowered. "People like me can do too little. Many attempts are meaningless. You are no match for a stronger force. Instead of fighting, it is better That's all."

Jiang Che looked at the Butterfly Cake on the ground.He felt that he was a little hungry, but besides hunger, there was a strange thought in his mind.

He had never met Linney, but the first time he saw Linney on Faust, he thought Linney looked familiar.

"Linney, you two brothers look alike?"

Lin Ni thought for a while: "It's pretty similar, but my brother is taller and stronger than me."

"Your brother, Cicero, has he ever fished a lost cryogenic capsule in space?" Jiang Che asked cautiously, "Does he have a scar on the left side of his face, from the temple to the bottom of the left eye?"

Lin Ni was stunned for a moment: "Have you met my brother? But he has never fished a freezer compartment... Fishing a freezer compartment is usually the task of a cruising military ship, and my brother is on a military ship responsible for combat affairs..."

He paused for a while before finally reacting: "Jiang Che, are you a frozen man?!"

"Ah...um." Jiang Che scratched his chin, "I'm a frozen man."

And it was your brother who woke me up from the cryogenic chamber.Jiang Che thought to himself.

But since Linney insisted that Cicero would not be carrying out the work of fishing the cryo-chambers, he said no further.

When he was forcibly awakened from the dripping cryogenic cabin, Jiang Che saw the foggy transparent hatch slowly open, and the man guarding the freezing cabin told him that he survived.

Jiang Che's memory at that time was very chaotic, he couldn't remember the man's name, nor his position, but he could remember his appearance.Just like a chick that just broke its shell and saw the first living creature in front of him - he firmly remembered Cicero's appearance and the old scar on his face.

After hearing Jiang Che say that he is a frozen man, Lin Ni stopped talking.As if realizing that he had said too many unnecessary things to Jiang Che, he tightly pursed his mouth, and showed a complex expression full of vigilance and boredom on his face.

"Goodbye." Jiang Che knew that this conversation was over, so he took the initiative to say, "If you want to talk, you can come to me at any time. I didn't know you were a general, and I didn't know Cicero's identity and identity before today." story."

Watching Lin Ni quickly leave the back cabin, Jiang Che found Ovid leaning against the door and staring at him.

"Why don't you go to sleep?"

"Why don't you let me sleep with you?" Ovid just came over, because he was too hungry, he wanted to get something to eat in the back cabin, and found Jiang Che and Lin Ni.

He was full of doubts: "What secret did you talk to Lin Ni?"

Jiang Che squatted on the ground to pick up butterfly cakes: "Since it's a secret, it has nothing to do with you."

"Jiang, with our relationship, there shouldn't be any secrets between us." Ovid also squatted beside him, "I trust you with all my heart, and you should too..."

Jiang Che stuffed a piece of disassembled butterfly pastry into his mouth, and stopped his nagging.

Ovid chewed twice, almost biting Jiang Che's finger.

"What is this?" he asked.Although the butterfly crisps on the lifeboat are vacuum-packed and do not have the heat and aroma of freshly baked food, they are sweet and crisp just right.The thin and crisp meringue makes a soft sound between the teeth, and the sugar licked by the tip of the tongue is delicate and clean, and the taste is very pure.

"Butterfly crisps." Jiang Che also took apart a piece to eat.

Ovid: "Butterflies?"

There are no butterflies on Marseilles. Unfortunately, all of these animals died during the "Great Retreat", and they have not been able to re-extend their lives on Marseilles.

Seeing that Jiang Che was concentrating on eating and not paying attention to himself, Ovid decided to find a new topic to attract Jiang Che's attention.

"Jiang, are you interested in Greya gold diamonds?" He turned his head to look directly at Jiang Che, "Or would you rather eat Greya honey?"

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and stared at him, subconsciously licked his mouth.

"You want to go to Gloria F, to find honey?"
