[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Early the next morning, Tang Rui took Jiang Mi and Li Qi to the interstellar port, showed the mission book given by Zuo Shaobai, and boarded the battleship Alys that was about to depart.Of course, it was a secret operation, and the disappearance of the Chenxi team was still a military secret. If the public knew about it, it might cause a big disturbance. After all, Zhou Yuze’s popularity was too high, and the council would never want what happened seven years ago to happen again. .

I told Tang Yan not to go home recently, and the Central Military Academy can be regarded as one of the safest places in Capital Star, so he was very relieved, and only left a note at home, saying that he was on a business trip, just in case of delay It's been too long, Tang Yan is worried that he can't find him when she goes home.

The huge battleship slowly left the port and flew into the universe.

However, the atmosphere on the battleship was weird.

Except for the man who piloted the battleship, who was operating at his own work station, everyone else gathered near the console with strange expressions on their faces.The only one who didn't even wear a military uniform, Tang Rui, who looked like a commoner, sat on the commander's chair in the middle, with a sluggish appearance as if he was suffering from scoliosis.

The mission statement was jointly signed by General Mo Fei and Major General Zuo Shaobai, who were in charge of this matter, and there was absolutely no fake.But...is it really legal to designate a civilian as the commander-in-chief of the rescue operation?Even if this civilian was a soldier back then, and his military rank reached lieutenant colonel, it cannot be denied that he is a civilian now!

"Why, talk if you have something to do, and leave if you have nothing to do." Tang Rui waved his hand and said slowly.

"That..." Someone finally spoke hesitantly, but he really didn't know what to call this person.

"Sir." Jiang Mi interjected coldly.No matter what he thinks about Tang Rui, at least he is Tang Rui's guard now, and of course he has to perform his duties as a guard.

"Yes, sir, are we going to the asteroid field?" the man asked.

"You are?" Tang Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Sir, my name is Linse, I'm a lieutenant colonel, and I'm the captain of the Iris." The man puffed out his chest, obviously very proud of the title.

Tang Rui nodded. It seemed that he was proud to be the captain of a battleship at the age of less than forty.However, Tang Rui could only sigh in response to his question, no wonder they are all lieutenant colonels and captains, and they are still sent to this kind of mission. It is probably the type of people who are incompetent on their own!

Even if he didn't ask, but he also knows that since Zuo Shaobai threw him as a civilian as the commander of the rescue operation, he would never send him a capable and ambitious deputy, lest it would be difficult to control , it is best to use the second generation of officials like this.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but his expression was still indifferent, and he just ordered lightly: "Fly directly to the earth at the fastest speed, without stopping or delaying."

"Fly directly to the earth?" Lin Se was stunned for a while before asking, "Aren't you going to the asteroid belt?"

"What are you going to do? Clean the battlefield?" Tang Rui rolled his eyes.

"But we can't guarantee that Major Zhou has arrived on Earth, so what if we don't go to the scene to check?" Linse retorted dissatisfied.

"Are you the commander or am I the commander?" Tang Rui asked directly.

"You..." Lin Se replied reluctantly.

"Then, I said that the earth is the earth, obey orders, Lieutenant Colonel Lin!" Tang Rui said with an emphasis.

"Yes." No matter how unwilling Linse was, there was nothing he could do about being suppressed by military orders.

"I'll sleep for a while, and call me when I jump in space for the first time." Tang Rui said, tilting his body and closing his eyes.

So everyone was in a mess again... Is such a commander really okay?In an instant, dozens of eyes focused on Jiang Mi and Li Qi.These two are members of Chenxi Squad. The commander is messing around, so they don't care about their captain's life, right?

Jiang Mi took a look, but saw that even Li Qi was staring at him, he couldn't help sighing, glanced at Tang Rui who was snoozing comfortably in the conductor's seat, and then smiled wryly: "Are you confused? The magnetic field chaos will not return to normal within a few years, if our warship approaches there, the navigation system and communication system fail, let alone rescue, even we will have to wait for rescue."

"Uh..." Everyone choked.

It's true...it's a very simple truth, but why no one thought of it, no, it's clear that the Commander's tone really makes people want to beat him up, so no one has time to think about other things !

Immediately, all eyes turned to Tang Rui, however, the person bathed in the murderous aura slept peacefully, even snoring...

"Captain, then... we fly directly to the earth?" The soldier in charge of manipulating the battleship turned around to confirm.

"Uh, Earth Earth!" Lin Se turned her head away, avoiding Jiang Mi's warning gaze, and waved her hand impatiently.

Anyway, he's not the commander, so even if the mission fails, he doesn't have much to do with it. If the responsible commander and the members of Dawn Squad are not in a hurry, why is he in a hurry.

Tang Rui slept for most of the day, until Jiang Mi came to wake him up to prepare for the space jump, which actually made up for the lack of sleep last night.

Everyone was no stranger to jumping in space, they sat down in an orderly manner and fixed themselves.

"That..." Li Qi hesitated for a while before saying, "Mr. Tang, what if the captain is not on Earth?"

"Huh?" Tang Rui tilted his head and looked at him with some puzzlement.

"What I mean is..." Li Qi licked her lips and said dryly, "We're going straight to the earth, what if the captain and the others aren't there? Do you want to look for them along the way..."

"It's not necessary." Tang Rui understood what he meant, but said without hesitation.

"Why isn't it necessary?" Li Qi opened her eyes wide, and her voice couldn't help but rang out, attracting the attention of many people around.

"This rescue operation was originally established on the premise that the Chenxi team reached the earth for refuge." Tang Rui said indifferently, "If you get lost in the universe, the energy of the mecha is exhausted and you cannot move, the vast sea of ​​stars, the possibility of finding them Almost none, so there is no rescue value."

"You!" Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then her face flushed. If she hadn't been immobilized, she would almost have the urge to punch him.

This person...how can he say with such a calm expression that he is not worth saving?Doesn't he feel how special the captain is to him?

"Shut up!" Jiang Mi scolded, "He's right."

"You said that too?" Li Qi said angrily.

"Although it is a bit cruel, but...the facts are the facts." Jiang Mi smiled wryly, "Almost one-fifth of the people who died in each interstellar war were lost in the starry sky due to loss of navigation and communication. The universe is too big And human beings are too small."

As if a basin of cold water was being poured on her head, Li Qi was stunned for a while, then murmured: "Then what should I do? Captain..."

"Why are you crying?" Tang Rui sneered, "Isn't Zhou Yuze your idol? If you don't even believe that he can bring the Chenxi team back to Earth, this rescue is really worthless, so it's better to do it as soon as possible." Go home and sleep more peacefully!"

"I didn't cry!" Li Qi retorted subconsciously, then was taken aback.

Taking a closer look, this person's words seem... to be an unconditional trust in the captain?

Jiang Mi shook his head on the sidelines, resisting the urge to support his forehead and lament.

Obviously they are concerned, maybe we can't hide the meaning every time we speak, not everyone is the captain and can understand the most essential meaning directly.

At the same time, Zhou Yuze in the topic was standing on a collapsed tree trunk, staring at the scene before him in a daze...

In the lush forest, each tree has the thickness of seven or eight adults hugging each other, and is about [-] meters high. Seeing the gray-red sky, the group of them looked extremely small and fragile in comparison.

"Captain, everything is settled." Feng Lang walked over and raised his head to report.

"The researcher is not injured?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Two of them were injured a little bit, but luckily it wasn't serious, otherwise it would be really troublesome in this ghost place." Feng Lang said.

"En." Zhou Yuze jumped off the ground neatly and walked towards him.

"Captain!" The team members who were packing up saw him and immediately put down their work and saluted, their eyes full of reverence.

I lost my direction in the vast universe. I thought it was ten dead and no life. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuze did not know what method to locate. He actually found the earth just before the energy of the mecha was exhausted, but when he found the earth, he had already lost his energy Not enough, can't make more choices, can only land nearby.Although it seems that the landing place is a bit bad, but anyway, it is much better than getting lost in the universe.

"Major Zhou!" A white-haired old man in a white coat walked over excitedly, shouting all the way, "This is actually the back of the earth, even though the data we collected last time were destroyed in the battleship, but There must be more collected on the back of the earth, even humans have never..."

"Dr. Wang, this is an area that humans have never set foot in for thousands of years. It's too dangerous. I can't let you move freely." Zhou Yuze interrupted coldly.

"Isn't the Dawn Squad here?" Another middle-aged woman wearing glasses said dissatisfiedly.She is also the only woman among the five researchers.

"The mecha has no energy, and we don't have enough weapons to supply, and here are just dozens of better ordinary soldiers." Feng Lang interjected.

"But……"

"Bai Yuan, lead the second team to protect Mr. Wang and the others." Without waiting for them to speak, Zhou Yuze directly ordered, "The third team will build a temporary camp, and the fourth team will survey the situation within five miles of the surrounding area and look for food by the way. The fifth team is on alert for four weeks, and the others rest in place."

"Yes!" The people he called out went to work separately, and the others sat down to rest and recover their strength. A smiling boy with a round face came over and very "politely" invited away a few researchers who didn't want to let go .

"It's really troublesome." Feng Lang muttered.

"The desire for research is above everything else, and that is the criterion for their success." Zhou Yuze didn't mean to be angry. He didn't understand the researcher's thoughts. Own.However, understanding is understanding, and he will not let his team members take such unnecessary risks just because of understanding.

Thousands of years ago, the earth's environment deteriorated, and human beings began to migrate to the universe, while vegetation, animals, and even the remaining human beings also began to evolve in order to adapt to the variation of the environment.For thousands of years, although the federal government has been sending out exploration teams, there is only a small area where humans can safely land and study. At this moment...they are located half a world away from the safe zone.

"In short, what should we do now?" Feng Lang spread his hands.

What they brought out was not much, and water and food might be settled on the spot, but if they wanted to return, they could only reach a safe area on the other side of the earth, where the research base would have interstellar long-distance communication equipment.It's a pity that the mechas ran out of energy after barely reaching the earth, and many mechas fell from mid-air before landing, and the damage was very serious.Otherwise, even if you can still activate the communication equipment, you can still contact the research base, and let the capital star be notified there.

"Two ways, wait for rescue at the same place, or... cross half the world." Zhou Yuze replied flatly.
