black sky

People say: If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a blessing in the future.

There are no exaggerated blessings, but Truss does feel that everything is going on a good track, whether it is his relationship with Say Young or the orderly rescue plan.

After living for so many years, Chu Si seldom has a good mood. Most of the time it is "I am very busy", "There are too many bad things", "The subordinate did something stupid again", "Jiang Qi's matter is still unclear. " and other sentimental messages.People with obsessive-compulsive disorder like him who drive themselves into workaholics, but actually don't really love work, always have little emotional ups and downs, and occasionally there is a little movement, but it is stagnant.

He once thought that it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to experience the feeling of "waiting for the dust to settle", because the troubles are always one after another, and the dust has never settled. .

But he didn't expect to realize it now. Seeing that the fragments waiting to be rescued are getting less and less, and the rescued marks have covered most of the star map, he rarely has a glimmer of anticipation.

He also once thought that although he didn't really love work, since he was less likely to be interested and emotional about people, he definitely didn't have the conditions to be a foolish king, and he would probably be a calm and rational king all his life.

Unexpectedly, when Say Yang hugged him in the office and refused to let go, and the communicator in his hand vibrated like a ghost reminding him to go to the command center, the first reaction in his mind was to call that Forget about throwing away the ghostly communicator, after all, it is not easy for someone with a personality like Say Yang to mention the past.

It can be seen that the potential of Hunjun may be developed by development.

However, Chu Si didn't treat him as a fool in the end. He patted Say Yang on the back, and finally grabbed the unpleasant communicator and led the guards to the command center.

There was a small flaw in the middle of the rescue on the second day, so that the middle rest time was used by Chus to temporarily renegotiate a set of plans with Childe Feng to ensure that the rescue efficiency on the third day would be higher. .

So Chus stayed in the command center for nearly forty hours. The time for replenishing nutrients in the middle was used by him to give Mr. Shao a second wave of brainwashing. reports from the side.

Tang said that the cronies team arranged by Shao Heng had already arrived at Fort Barney, and they were going to fully protect it. They could return to the White Wolf Ship after cleaning it up. It was just because they accidentally set up a temporary base underground, so cleaning it up was time-consuming. .

In short, more than 40 hours of highly concentrated continuous rotation is a bit hurtful. The fatigue of everyone in the command center is obvious to all. People like Chus who don’t like to talk too much on weekdays have a hoarse voice. The loud voice that raised the volume has long since been turned off, and it lives on constant throat water.

"I've done the math. Two more batches will land, and all the planetary debris will be included in the rescue area." Another deputy commander tapped his finger on the table.

There are only two batches left. In fact, the penultimate batch has already left, and it is only a few hours before the last batch lands.This reminder undoubtedly cheered up everyone in the command center.

Chus still didn't go directly to the conference table, and hung a headset on the outside of the glass screen for remote control, and occasionally sent a few messages back and forth with Say Young.

Physically exhausted, but mentally happy.

Previously, Sae Yang was so stupid that he used Chu Si's face instead of Jiang Qi's face to unlock it. The result is self-evident—it touched the warning line in the encryption system, so the entire encryption program was automatically updated, and the previously cracked Those have become white work and have to wait for 24 hours before they can be cracked again.

But with this lesson, Sah Young will naturally not make the same mistake again.The whole cracking process is not difficult for him, it just takes a little more time.So he lightly started the second time after waiting the full 24 hours.

It's halfway through the process now.

When Sae Yang synchronously transmitted the progress to Chusi's communicator, the progress bar still had 42% remaining. At this rate, tomorrow will be almost the same.

Tomorrow is really a good day.

Chu Si said a few words to Say Yang, but something new happened in the tripartite joint meeting through the glass screen.The military headquarters ran into the fleet of the City of Silver.

Although in the current situation of insufficient manpower, the three parties belong to the joint governance to control the overall development of the situation, but in fact there is still a division of labor, because the military department has relatively rich resources of ordnance and weapons, and the actual combat experience is also the highest among the three parties, so the military department That side is mainly responsible for the blockade of the safe area.

In other words, the military department is responsible for doing everything possible to keep all possible threats out of the rescue area. The security building is responsible for the overall rescue deployment and command because of the Dragon Pillar star map, while the general government is responsible for Responsible for the safety and living issues of the debris of each planet after the rescue, that is, trivial matters related to survival such as post-construction and stationing.

Leaving aside the latter two items, Chus always cared more about those in charge of the military department.

From the moment the planet collapsed to the end of the rescue operation, Chus has been worried that the forces of other stars will come to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, or simply join forces to divide up the available resources on Skyhawk γ Lose.

This kind of thing has not happened before. Back then, the home planet of the wanderers became an "abandoned star" due to irreversible problems. Other planets have stretched their claws. The "inheritance" alone is enough for some small planets to eat for a hundred years. .

The City of Silver took back a large amount of resources in a bandit style, which made the City of Silver, which was already ahead of the others, rise to a higher level and rapidly developed to a later level.

Now that something happened to Tianying γ Star, no matter how powerful the protection mechanism is, no matter how hard it is to block the news, with the strength of the City of Silver, it should be almost enough to investigate, how could it be so late?

With the strategy and development style of the interstellar pirates in the City of Silver, how could it be possible to watch in a friendly and quiet manner without saying a word?

When there was no movement before, Chu Si only felt that something abnormal must be caused by a demon.At this moment, the City of Silver finally started to make moves, and Chus felt more at ease. The visible moves were better than the insidious and secret moves.

Apparently, Chusi was not the only one who had this idea. As soon as the temporary news from the military headquarters came out, there was a lot of discussion in the command center: "What should come will always come."

Compared with Childe Feng and the others, the general government was calmer.

But the three parties are obviously very concerned. The City of Silver is neither a small planet nor a team of wanderers, and the loss of a frontal conflict is too great. With their current strength, they can only try to take a roundabout way, whether it is going around in circles or negotiating, everything will happen. You have to try all the means you can use, and it is best to procrastinate.

Now new people wake up every moment of every day, at least until the smallest unit of the space combat army can be assembled, and such a day should not be too far away.

Chus was giving instructions to Child Feng through the headset. After the rescue force withdrew, the troops who were originally in charge of safety on the White Wolf Ship could all assemble according to the wartime equipment, and were ready to be seconded to the military headquarters at any time. The military department encountered unavoidable troubles, so if it was prepared in advance, it would save a lot of time for support.

21:12:42

According to the news synchronized to the tripartite association in real time, the emergency stealth team of the military headquarters sent out a jamming signal outside the 11th rescue area in the fourth quadrant of the α star area, leading the Silver City army in the third quadrant.

Half an hour later, the Tripartite Federation received the news again, and the second stealth team sent out a jamming signal, leading away the second team of the Silver City army.

Another four and 10 minutes later, the six stealth teams of the military headquarters sent out [-] interference signals respectively, leading away the remaining troops of the City of Silver.

23:34:19

The lieutenant general in charge of the military department returned to the holographic screen of the tripartite joint meeting, and at the same time brought back good news. The military information department successfully simulated the military signal of the barren Saturn, which distracted the attention of the Silver City army and temporarily convinced them that The previous interference signal is inseparable from the barren Saturn.

"Before the incident happened here, Desolate Saturn had been entangled with the City of Silver. The desolate Saturn had been entangled with the City of Silver. Barefooted and not afraid of those who wore shoes, they had harassed the Interstellar Patrol Army of the City of Silver more than once or twice, and border conflicts have never been broken. Old debts The liquidation has not yet been settled, so it is not too much to use it as a scapegoat." The lieutenant general explained.

Near 0:[-], the last wave of rescue teams finally landed on the remaining planetary fragments.After completing the rescue mission, other unit teams rushed to the last batch of debris non-stop after sending some people to the White Wolf Ship to add more manpower.

02:17:25

The news from the military department has been updated again: the army of the City of Silver has been successfully lured to the beta sector.Even if they find something is wrong, adjust the navigation direction, and then relocate back to the α star area and accurately approach the rescue area, it will take at least three days.

"Three days—" General He Xiuwen held up three fingers, and said with a serious face: "If the last batch of rescue is successfully completed within the estimated time, it will only take three hours to start the first process of the dragon pillar additional gravity device. Hours later, all planetary fragments with dragon pillars will move towards the strategically positioned center, and the entire rescue zone will shrink as a result."

He clenched his fingers into fists, "This means that even though the land under our feet has been broken into pieces and scattered in different places, and even though each piece is separated by a vast sea of ​​stars, we are a whole."

This means that an invisible spider web pulls all the planet fragments together, forming a special group of fragments.Under the strong force of the dragon pillar, the entire debris group can adjust its center according to strategic needs to achieve overall migration.

This will make them less passive when encountering any other star army.

It would have been nice to have three days of respite.

When the number on the timer jumped to 03:[-], the synchronized images of the last batch of rescue teams finally jumped back into the aircraft. All the rescuers gestured to the camera with the gesture of "mission completed", and the three-party conference room celebrated Voice.

The rescue team took part of the people on the way back. On the strategic route map, countless small dots of aircraft flew towards the white wolf ship like a bright star belt.

The dragon pillars of all planet fragments have been added with additional gravitational mimicry devices. The activation of any dragon pillar function requires the cooperation of the military department, the general government, and the security building.Each of the supreme representatives has a part of authority.

"Get ready to activate the dragon column device." Chus pressed the headset to remind Childe Feng.

Old man Feng interpreted to the meeting at the same time. The two lieutenant generals at the military headquarters left their seats. They should have gone to the activation device belonging to the military headquarters, and the general government did the same.

Chus had already stepped onto the internal teleportation pad of the command center, leading the guards to the next floor, and then Childe Feng, the two deputy commanders and the captain followed one after another.

The space on the bottom floor is not large, wrapped in metal walls, the center of the ground is slowly opened, and the launcher is pushed out.

Truss rolled up his cuffs, walked over, and pressed his thumb to the starter.

The scanning light swept back and forth on him, and the electronic notification sounded ding-dong: he was certified as the highest authority of the security building and passed the screening.

03:05:18

The voices of the representatives of the military department and the general government came from the headset.

"Prepare."

"Ready."

"start up."

Chusi's voice was a little hoarse. Without the holographic screen, everyone's voices were not as hoarse as their original voice. At this moment, no one from the other two parties realized that he was speaking.

Because the prompt for the synchronous activation of the dragon pillar's additional device has already sounded.

Thousands of fragments scattered in the sea of ​​stars buzzed at the same time. If there is a screen large enough to accommodate a detailed bird's-eye view of all the fragments at this time, you will see that each fragment of the planet is on the dragon pillar's self. After adjustment, tilt slightly to one side, and then slowly move towards the predetermined strategic center under the action of a huge gathering force.

It's like tired birds that have been flying for too long, finally returning to their nests under the night.

04:46:17

All the returning rescue teams boarded the ship smoothly, and more than 100 gates of the White Wolf finally closed slowly.Busy soldiers, busy temporary medical personnel, and busy officials went back and forth on the White Wolf.

This was probably the busiest scene Chus had seen since he opened his eyes.

After all the people and rescue teams who needed to be resettled were settled down, the various positions were rotated, and the people who had been rotating for more than 50 hours could rest.

When the two deputy commanders returned to the office, their steps were a little wandering.Childe Feng stood still at the door of the office nearest to Chus, held the door and said hello to Chuss. He didn't pay much attention to etiquette, opened the door and rolled in to catch up on sleep.

The white wolf ship is temporarily under the control of the captain, the security force detachment captain Shao Heng, and the guard chief Roger, who has rested on duty.

When Chus entered the office, Sae Yang was still sitting in front of the light brain, but he should have slept for a while before. He seemed to be in good spirits, without the slightest sense of fatigue, forming a sharp contrast with Chus who was rubbing the center of his brows all the time. Compared.

"I thought a ghost was coming." Say Yang stood up and walked over, bowing his head slightly and said, "Are you sure you can still walk back to the bedroom? I think your steps are floating."

Chus glanced at him angrily, rubbed the center of his brows again, trying to wake himself up a bit: "If you don't get in the way in front of me, I should be able to make it to the bedroom."

As he spoke, he tore off his tie in distaste and complained impatiently: "I haven't showered for more than 50 hours, I can't bear to lie in bed like this."

"..." Sae Yang said: "Excuse me, sir, lying in the bathtub like this is no different from committing suicide. Once you get in, don't even think about getting out."

Chu Si was extremely stubborn: "Let's see if I can die."

Sae Yang raised his eyebrows, looked at the back of him walking back to the bedroom with strength, and said: "Okay, then I have to help you."

Chu Si's spirit at this time was completely relaxed, a little confused, and his reaction was slow.After hearing what Say Yang said, he just waved his hands without looking back, and went into the bathroom until he saw that Say Yang also followed in with a blank face, and closed the door thoughtfully. It was only then that he finally realized what he had just said.

Chus: "..."
