The old moon system of interstellar rebirth

Unlike Carter's warship, the interior of the federal warship does not have any luxurious decorations, it looks simple, neat and tough.

His Royal Highness's room is next to Chen Jing's room, and the space is quite large. It is a suite with one bedroom and one living room.

On the way to the fifth star area, Akers did not participate in Chen Jing's meeting. He stayed in the room alone, and occasionally walked and walked around the area where he could go.

Today is the third day since they left Sister, and in the evening, Dominika sent today's video over on time.

In fact, from the day Akers left Cister, the students in the class took turns to help Akers record the content of the teacher's class, and then handed it over to Dominica to transmit the video to the little prince.

Along with the video transmission, there is also Dominika's lecture notes-it is said that this notebook has become a treasure that everyone is vying to pass around.

--What?Dozed off in class, didn't attend class?Students, don't worry, watch this!

--What?Although you are serious in class, but you don't understand?Students, don't worry, watch this! !

--What?The class content is too simple, want to improve?Students, don't worry, watch this! ! !

Akers felt that if he returned to school before the final exam, he might not even need to consider making up the exam—because he could study on the road by relying on the videos and notes of his classmates...

Dominica said that this incident was initiated by Lilith and the other girls, and while Ax was moved, he couldn't help feeling that the girls were gentle and careful.

If other students were going to travel far away, but he was in school, he probably wouldn't be able to be so considerate and considerate.

However, without teachers and classmates, the disadvantages of studying alone are still obvious. At least the necessary interaction is lacking. In some places, it is still a bit difficult to test your own understanding.

Fortunately, there are schoolmasters like Chen Jing and Lin Zexi on the warship, and their ability in practice is even more outstanding. It is more than enough to give the little prince some guidance.

Although Akers didn't want to use these things to tire the already busy Chen Jing and others, Chen Jing seemed to enjoy reading with Akers...

——Especially when the little prince looked at him with adoring face and sparkling eyes!

Akers didn't know either, when he was reading, Chen Jing was actually looking at him most of the time... The little prince thought that his professional courses were so attractive, look, even the marshal was interested!

If the teachers in Akers knew the content of their classes, and Chen Jing also participated, I believe they would work harder to prepare lessons, so that the marshal could see the strong teaching staff of the Military Academy of Olby National University!

……

Akers replied to Dominica with a communication as he did two days ago, saying that he had received the latest video, and then expressed his thanks.

The other party was also the same as usual, did not say any more polite words, and only sent the word "um", and Dominica's cool expression could be imagined through the text holographic screen.

When leaving Sister, the communication about the "mermaid's singing" that Dominica sent to Akers caught Akers' attention.

Although he immediately asked Dominica about the details, the other party only said that this was a legend in the fifth sector, and people of the older generation warned their grandsons and granddaughters like this.

This is like many oracle stories in the Light God Sect. Everyone believes in it, but no one has actually encountered it.

"Did the old people say, what should I do if I meet a mermaid singing?"

"Don't be fooled by their singing."

"But how can we not be confused by the singing?"

"Be firm in your heart, don't be tempted by the beautiful scenery in the singing...Always remember that it is illusory, not real."

Akers felt that the legend itself was quite illusory, and the ocean and singing in Chen Jing's consciousness seemed to be Akers' illusion—because Akers didn't listen to Chen Jing's last fugue. It's that song.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————— When Chen Jing returned to the rest area, Akers was Lie on the sofa and watch the class video sent by Dominica.

He walked into Ax's room and sat next to the little prince. Before Ax could greet him, he quickly approached him, as if he wanted to kiss his side.

"General... General!" Seeing the opponent approaching, the little prince raised his hand involuntarily, and was about to cover his face, but Chen Jing held him straight.

Chen Jing got what he wanted, first he kissed the little prince's face and lips, and then kissed the back of his hand with unfulfilled desire.

Feeling that Akes was about to smoke, he changed the subject with a smile in his eyes: "What did the teacher say today?"

It sounds like he is very concerned about Ax's studies. If he let go of the little prince's hands and waist while speaking, it might be more convincing.

With this posture, Akers could only report to Chen Jing what he had just read, and asked about what he didn't understand by the way.

Chen Jing answered two questions, and finally let go of the person in his arms.

"Let's go to dinner first. Zexi and Hein have already passed by first. I told them not to wait for us."

Although meals can be served in the room on a warship, Chen Jing and the others have always ate in the public restaurant with the sergeants, so Akers simply "follow the Romans" and follow them to the restaurant to avoid changing their habits. Habit.

However, what surprised Akers was that the meals on the warship were the same as those in the school, not as "simple" as imagined.

In fact, the ingredients that can be eaten at home are generally available here, as well as various fruits and juices, but there are some restrictions on alcoholic beverages, which can only be consumed during off-duty periods, so seniors like Chen Jing and the others Officers, generally do not touch.

In contrast, the accompanying Ax is much more free - the army restaurant has rum coffee cake, which is currently the little prince's favorite dessert.

Every time he ate the little cake one bite at a time, there was still a little aroma of rum in his mouth when he spoke, coupled with the bright smile of the little prince...

Chen Jing felt that the busyness of the day and the difficulties he might encounter later were no longer irritating...

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The warship of the Federation soon ended its voyage and arrived at No. five-star district.

They landed at Nield's land military base, and Admiral Bemont, who was in charge of the planetary guarding of Nierd, led his troops to greet the Marshal and his party on the tarmac.

The two parties met again in Nield in just one month, and they were not very relaxed...

When Chen Jing and Prince Ax got engaged, Admiral Beamont did not return to watch the ceremony, so this was the first time he met Prince Ax face to face.

"General, Your Highness, good evening!" Admiral Bemont saluted them.

Chen Jing introduced Admiral Beamont to Akers, and the two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and then began to walk to the meeting room of the military base.

"It's getting late, let's send His Royal Highness Ax back to rest first." Admiral Bemont worried that the little prince Carter would not get used to it due to the exhaustion of traveling and traveling, so he offered a friendly suggestion.

Just as Chen Jing was about to agree, Ax took the initiative and said, "Please don't worry about me. I'm not too tired, so I don't need to bother you and the general... If possible, I also hope to participate in your meeting."

Ax made this request because he had discussed it with Chen Jing in advance.

The reason why the military department hoped that Ax could accompany him was to add insurance for Chen Jing on the one hand, but the most important thing was that they would not rule out that they would resort to military means when they went to Nield this time.

At this time, Chen Jing, who will be on the battlefield, as a sentinel who has already appeared in fugue, needs his guide to be by his side at all times, in case of emergency.

Akers knew nothing about the situation, which was not conducive to their next actions, so after the discussion, Chen Jing and the others also believed that it was necessary for Akers to participate in related affairs.

But in this way, Prince Ax would have to keep the same routine as Chen Jing and the others—it was a soldier's routine, and there would be both physical and psychological pressure.

That would be no small burden!

Chen Jing heard what Akes said, and turned to look at him, as if observing the little prince's state.

Akes said to Chen Jing: "General, don't worry, I'm really not tired at all, let's hurry up and talk about business!"

Admiral Bemont was a little surprised, but seeing the resolute expression on Prince Ax's face, and seeing that Chen Jing seemed to agree, he said to them, "Then let's go directly to the meeting room."

The huge conference room was quickly filled with people, and Akers sat next to Chen Jing, waiting for Admiral Bemont to give a report.

"Currently, a total of 72 crystal ore mining operation areas on the three planets including Nield have been put under martial law, and all the staff have returned to land."

This is a decision made after discussions between the government and the military.

Before the more than 200 kidnapped hostages are rescued, if the staff and soldiers in other operating areas are allowed to stay in the deep sea and face the elusive rebels, the domestic verbal criticism alone is enough for the government and the army to bear .

Coupled with further intensified search efforts, the strength of the Fifth Army was restrained, and there was no way to strengthen the protection of the operation area, so all staff simply withdrew, so that the search and rescue work could be carried out as much as possible.

Admiral Beamont continued: "The staff in these operation areas are now arranged on the land of planets such as Nierd, and they are protected and cared for by special personnel. They are in good condition."

Back on land, the threat of mermaids has been greatly reduced. However, the sea area of ​​Nield and Liangwai exceeds 90.00% of the entire planet's area. If you want to find the mechanics and soldiers who were taken hostage, it can be said that you are looking for a needle in a haystack. .

And as long as they still need the Nield crystal mine for a day, it is impossible to completely abandon the deep-sea operation areas on the three planets. These safety hazards will seriously affect the mental state of the staff.

Now some staff members have shown resistance—not to mention returning to the deep sea operation area, I am afraid they all want to leave the fifth star area immediately!

Fortunately, the government not only made a quick and decisive decision, but also dispatched a professional medical team to provide reinforcements. On the one hand, they provided psychological counseling to the staff in the safe zone, and on the other hand, they hoped that when the hostages returned, they could start treating them immediately.

"How is the search and rescue work going?" Chen Jing asked Admiral Beaumont.

In fact, on the way here, Admiral Beamont reported on the recent work progress three times a day, but now that they finally sat together, Chen Jing certainly wanted to hear the other party describe the details face to face.

Admiral Beamont felt that they had encountered ghosts hitting a wall-this sneak attack was almost exactly the same as the last one, except for a larger scale and more hostages.

Without the headquarters noticing, the entire operation area suddenly lost its contact signal. Not only that, the warship in charge of the escort also disappeared in an instant.

When the communication was restored, what they got was not a reply from their own troops, but an "announcement" from the mermaid rebels arrogantly.

Admiral Bemont clenched his fists below, and answered Chen Jing with difficulty: "Except for another communication from the rebels two days ago, there has been no news since then. We found the place where the other party sent the communication. The monitored area did not find any clues."

——————————————————————————————————————————— Akers accompanied Chen Jing and the others to the meeting.

Listening to the whole process like this, the little prince already felt the seriousness of the situation—their people were still in the hands of the rebels, and their lives and deaths were uncertain, but the army they were most proud of did not even see the shadow of the rebels.

The marshal came to Nield in the fifth sector again. It doesn't matter what he thinks in his heart. The representative of the mermaid clan immediately came to the military base the next morning to greet Chen Jing and His Royal Highness Prince Carter.

This is also the first time Akers has seen the mermaids in person - not only do they have clothes on, they have legs too! ! !

They wore white vests on their upper bodies, revealing their strong arms and chests. Their waist-length long hair was tied behind them with cloth belts, and a water blue belt with dark patterns was tied around their waists, which looked very oceanic. breath.

The lower body is wearing white closed trousers, the middle seam also has water blue patterns, and the feet are wearing a very special kind of woven shoes, only the ankles are exposed.

——Yes, you read that right, it is the ankle!

When Ax heard it for the first time, his mouth was almost closed in surprise.

Some mermaids in Nierd can change their tails into "legs" and walk on land!

It's just that this state can only last for an hour at most. If the fish tail cannot be recovered and returned to the sea, it will have a great impact on the health of the mermaid.

So under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to become "upright walking".

This time, if the Federal Marshal hadn't come to Nierd again, Prince Ax from Carter would also be accompanying him. The place for their meeting is usually set up in a special meeting room near the sea.

There is a channel directly connected to the ocean, so that when humans sit on chairs, the mermaids can dip their tail fins in the sea.

In order to express their sincerity, the Mermaid Clan of Nield decided to greet the "guests" who came from afar on land, so they let their representatives appear in this form.

……

There were three representatives of the mermaid clan this time—Ax noticed that they were all males!

According to the virtual platform and Chen Jing, the awakening ratio of sentinels and guides in the mermaid tribe is at least [-]% higher than that of humans. Some scientists estimate that this is because they live in a harsher environment.

At the same time, the number of female mermaids is far lower than that of males, almost reaching a ratio of three to seven. This is also an important reason for the extremely low birth rate of mermaids.

Lin Zexin once sighed next to Akes - from this point of view, there may be many single (fish) in the mermaid clan!

Unlike human beings of the same sex who can have offspring through artificial nurseries, it is difficult for mermaid fertilized eggs to survive outside the body, so even though the federal government once provided the most advanced artificial nursery for the mermaids, it turned out that the mermaids actually don’t need it at all. superior.

Reproduction is relatively difficult, but in terms of average lifespan, the mermaid race is obviously favored.

When the average lifespan of ordinary human beings is about 90 years old, and the average lifespan of awakened people is about 70 years old, the average lifespan of mermaid sentinels and guides can already reach 120 years old.

Most of their "untimely deaths" occurred in the competition with other aquariums - the ocean is so big that there are not only mermaids living alone.

It is also because of this that when human beings need Nierd crystal mines and negotiate with the mermaids in exchange for abundant resources, although the mermaids are always vigilant, there are quite a few mermaids who are opposed to cooperating with humans, but the mermaid royal family Still reached an agreement with the federal government.

For hundreds of years, the content and details of the agreement have changed again and again, but the central idea has not changed much - they want to create a win-win situation, each get what they want!

However, now this win-win balance has been broken. If there is no way to repair it in time, then only other methods can be adopted to achieve the goals of both parties.

——Even if the other party wants to shirk again, this time they can't let them go easily!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Di looked sad, and his tone sounded sincere, but it couldn't impress the soldiers of the Federation.

"This is already the second attack this year, and the other party has intensified and kidnapped more than 200 of our personnel. This is not something you can easily take over with a single regret." Lieutenant General Hein glanced at the three people on the opposite side. .

"Nerd Sea is vast. Even our people have not been to every corner... In fact, we can't go to some places that your submarine can go to. What can we do?"

The other party's "more than enough heart but not enough energy" looks very real. If it weren't for Chen Jing and the others knowing that the mermaid tribe has a special way of locating and connecting with the same kind, I'm afraid they would have agreed with Hardy's words.

Because Nield's sea area is indeed too wide, if there is no clue, such a blanket search, let alone a short period of time, may not necessarily yield results even in a few years!

"Since you can't go to the place, then the rebels shouldn't be able to go either. Naturally, they won't hide our people there...so there is no need for you to go to that kind of place," Lin Zexi has deeply understood from the process of several dealings When it comes to the "slippery" of the mermaids, it's impossible to catch their pain points directly.

Hardy and the others couldn't help being taken aback when they heard the words—unexpectedly, Colonel Lin Zexi, who had always seemed softer and more talkative, began to be sharp. It seemed that the other party was really anxious this time!

They can only stay on land for an hour. Of course, the purpose of this visit is not to just chat with each other, so Hardy pretended to smile wryly and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"What we mean is that if we can't get your assistance this time, then we will re-evaluate the safety of mining work in the fifth sector." Chen Jing looked at the representative of the mermaid clan.

Hardy's heart skipped a beat when he heard this—reassess the safety of mining work in the fifth sector?What does it mean?What if the result of the assessment is "unsafe"?

Thinking of this, Hardy quickly asked, "If the result of the assessment is..."

"If the result of the assessment is unsafe, we may reduce the number of operating areas in the fifth sector and conduct centralized mining." Chen Jing did not give the other party a chance, and directly stated the Federation's plan.

In the past, more than 70 mining points were set up on the three planets to speed up the mining speed - after all, the Nierd crystal mines do not exist in the form of sheets, and the Nield crystal mines in the same area are very limited, and the ore layers It is also located 9000 meters below sea level.

After reaching an agreement with the mermaids, the Federation carried out targeted mining in these places where Nield crystal mines might appear, and managed a certain amount of production through a multi-pronged approach.

If these operating areas are scattered and unsafe, the federal government may expand a few of the collection areas and abandon other operating areas in order to concentrate the deployment of military forces.

In this way, the problem of overlapping with the mermaid's living area due to too many work areas will no longer exist.

The agreement signed by the federal government to compensate the "disturbed" mermaids will lose its meaning, and they will no longer provide corresponding help and resources to the mermaids.

Hardy immediately thought of the hidden meaning in Chen Jing's words, and his heart tightened.

——It seems that the Federation is really angry this time!If you want to perfunctory again, I am afraid it will not be so easy!

"It will take some time for the assessment to continue. Saving our citizens is the most important thing right now," Chen Jing looked at Representative Hardy, who was a little uncomfortable due to dehydration.

"This is a big matter, we hope to have a direct dialogue with your mermaid royal family!"
