Marshal is always tired [Interstellar]

"That is to say, as long as the talent reaches the standard, all mecha masters in the cultivation direction can activate Dionysus?" Rand's stereoscopic image sat on Gu Anli's bed unceremoniously, looking thoughtful.

It is actually very comforting to have a roommate who spends all day in the laboratory. At least Qin Jue can chat with his lovely adjutant every now and then, and he doesn't have to search for hidden corners all over the campus.

"Yeah... They never told us. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the Federation doesn't know about it yet."

Rand nodded: "I will immediately organize the ace mecha master to try to match."

"Be careful," Qin Jue said solemnly, "the Federation has one more vacant mecha than we do. If they know this news, we will be too passive."

"Don't worry, Marshal," Rand gave him a military salute in a dignified way—God knows he hasn't done this for almost five years, since the National Day military parade was broadcast live across the empire five years ago—and then he rarely smiled. , "I have a measure."

"There is one more thing," Qin Jue thought again, "Phoenix seemed to have slipped her mouth at the time... She accidentally mentioned the 'Cosmic Alliance', but quickly changed the subject. I didn't care about it at the time , when asked afterward, she would fiercely refuse to admit it."

"Cosmic Alliance?" Rand repeated slowly, his eyebrows twitching, "It sounds like..."

Qin Jue pressed his forehead: "This sounds like the direction the Academy of Sciences has been looking for over the years."

After many years of development of human technology, colonies have spread to every corner of the Milky Way. However, it is strange that there are not a few planets in the entire Milky Way that are suitable for life, but only this branch that migrated from the earth left the inhabited planets. Traces of evolution.

Yes, until now, human beings have not found the alien creatures that were speculated and explored in the ancient earth era.

Except for the earth, the entire galaxy is dead.

As for other large galaxies in the vast universe, they are somewhat beyond the current scientific and technological capabilities. Human beings have only successfully surveyed the nearby Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies, and have not found any definite evidence for the existence of carbon-based life forms.

But too many clues left over from the ancient times have persistently sounded the alarm in the ears of human beings: it is impossible for only this asteroid to breed life in the vast universe, and it has the ability to leave life on the earth as early as ancient times. The level of technology possessed by alien creatures that have left traces is beyond the imagination of human beings.

No one knows whether these alien creatures are friends or foes, or when they will visit human territory again.

On this point, it is rare for the Empire and the Federation to have the same position. Since the Kawasawa Agreement, the two countries have jointly funded the establishment of the "Galaxy Interstellar Research Institute". This research institute has almost gathered the best scientific research talents from the two countries. It sounds very simple: it is to try our best to leave more precedents for ourselves before human civilization enters the era of great interstellar navigation.

After so many years of hard work, things have gradually begun to take shape, and the high-level leaders of the two countries have gradually realized that there may be some immeasurably huge forces outside the Milky Way—and it is precisely because of the constraints of this force that the fragile civilization of the earth can Slowly grow up in the galaxy.

But now, the wind and rain are coming, and the opportunity to go further in the exploration of the universe seems to be not far ahead.

Qin Jue closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, "I'm thinking, why have there never been any beasts above the gilt level like the phoenix in the Milky Way, but there are them in the "Encyclopedia of Cosmos Beasts" Names. Also, where did the avatars come from, which are obviously far beyond our manufacturing capabilities...there are too many mysteries."

Rand remained silent, his thin lips pressed together tightly.

After a while, he gave up and sighed: "There may be some connection between these problems that we don't know. There is a serious shortage of information now. Even if you think about it, it won't help."

Qin Jue slapped the table angrily: "Bai Ze and Fenghuang must know the answers to these questions—at least much more than we know, it's a pity that one or two are keeping some secrets, and they can't pry their mouths open. "

The corners of Rand's mouth stiffened, showing some displeasure: "Marshal..." He unconsciously carried a warning in his tone, "Phoenix's origin is unknown, you shouldn't have feelings for her as a real partner. "

Qin Jue froze for a moment, then hesitated and said, "After all, we have a contract, so she shouldn't be against me."

The worried adjutant took a deep breath, and used the tone of persuading a stubborn child to persuade: "The so-called equal contract is an area we have never touched before. The unequal information makes her stand in the relationship between you." A more active position... Why did she attack you inexplicably before, is it really just because of boredom as she said?"

The young officer in uniform stood up from the bed and shook his head at his worried boss: "This reason is untenable. Before you can treat each other honestly, you should not give all your trust anyway."

"She, Bai Ze, and me... Marshal, not all the feelings in this world are the same. You have experienced so much...the world has been innumerable. Do you still want to be like the beginning?" ——" He thoughtfully replaced the "childish" and used a more gentle concept, "So credulous?"

Qin Jue tilted his head, looked at him and smiled: "Rand, what's wrong with you today? It's not like you." He also stood up, and made a movement of smoothing the shoulders of his closest friend—just like in the past As he has done countless times, "Don't worry, we have been together for so long, why do you still have such worries? Even if I don't see people's hearts and the city as clearly as you, I am definitely not an ignorant fool .”

"You have to admit that you are not as good as me in terms of emotional intuition." The thin boy had a dazzling smile that didn't match his appearance, which made this handsome face extremely vivid, like a dusty face. The treasure is blooming, "I can distinguish between good and evil, and I am deeply impressed by the ugliness of this world."

He sighed: "But as I often advise you, stand in a dark place and look towards the light, and you will find more light."

Rand was amused by him, and shrugged differently from his usual performance: "Okay..."

"Well," he said, "what you say always seems to make more sense, which is probably why everyone likes you so much."

Qin Jue blushed slightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "They actually like the character you created better. If they see my real appearance, I'm afraid they will be quite disappointed."

Rand laughed with him, and decided to let the marshal, who doesn't surf the Internet very much, have no idea about "contrast cuteness" and so on.

Hmm... It's also for his safety.

"Xiao Luo? Are you there, Xiao Luo? Why did you lock the door?"

"Oops." Qin Jue jumped up in shock, slapped down the power button of the optical brain connected to the Imperial Star, and hurried to open the door.

Several electric currents passed through the poor adjutant's body, and then disappeared with a snap.

Rand, who was far away in the imperial capital, sat up from the military conference table, took off his holographic helmet with a little helplessness, and rubbed his forehead.

"Master Colonel?" Julia, who was standing aside, carefully handed over the prepared coffee, "How is the marshal?"

"Fortunately." Rand took a sip of coffee, and his index finger pretended to caress his unwrinkled epaulettes casually, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "He is in good health and in good spirits."

"That's good." Julia breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on her face still didn't fade away.

Rand glanced at her, raised his head and drank the coffee: "Speak up if you have something to say, when did the Empire's 'Rose Sword' learn the tricks of His Majesty's Lady Rose?"

He was obviously in a good mood, and instead of being serious in front of his subordinates in the past, he started to tease him.

Julia took the empty glass and replied angrily: "I don't have such a soft dancing posture and full of tenderness," the capable female general pressed a few buttons on the portable optical computer on her wrist with her slender fingers, her tone Sincerely, "Master Colonel, there are still two hours of free time before the consultation with the Elder's House at night. You should take a rest at least."

The dense itinerary appeared in the air following her movements, Rand's complexion changed slightly, a cold light flashed on the thin lenses, and the little pleasure just now disappeared without a trace.

When he spoke again, his tone had returned to his usual indifference: "Julia, when did you start interfering with my schedule?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, panic flashed past the admiral's icy face, she quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake, cold sweat slid down her smooth forehead to the tip of her nose: "This subordinate has overstepped."

Rand didn't say anything more about this matter. He stretched out his hand and flicked a few times on the itinerary standing in the air in front of him, and crossed off a few redundant tasks.Then motioned Julia to retract the projection.

"The marshal's condition has basically stabilized, and he can report his safety to the royal family and the Elder's House," he ordered while thinking, and at the same time quickly left the conference room, "If they ask about the marshal's condition, just refuse directly as before—— Tell them that the Marshal is temporarily inconvenient to appear in public, and will not participate in any recent events or meetings of the Empire."

Julia had to trot to keep up with him: "What if they insist on seeing the Marshal?"

Rand didn't turn his head back: "Go back. Also, cancel that boring negotiation at night, send a letter to His Majesty and the Great Elder, and prepare for a security meeting with the highest level of confidentiality." His tone brought the other two who talked about the empire. The usual sneer of big forces, "They will no longer have the energy to spend on things like meeting the marshal."
