Hearing Berg's description of the mysterious mech, Lin Yuan couldn't help but want to witness the elegance of the double S-class mech with his own eyes due to his strong curiosity. The mecha was undergoing final debugging and maintenance, and it could not be started directly, so Lin Yuan had no choice but to suppress the excitement in his heart, and temporarily focused on "finding the two fathers as soon as possible".

Rosen and Ling Yu were drawn into the Iswell cosmic wormhole together—this is the largest cosmic wormhole known to mankind. The entire wormhole spans several galaxies, and the vortex formed by the air flow in it is like A complex maze, if you break into it without being fully prepared, you may be swept away to a distant strange planet by cosmic sandstorms and lose your way.

It is naturally impossible for Berg to let a few children take such a big risk.

When leaving Cepheus, Berg brought along a star map of the entire universe known to mankind-a realistic 3D simulated star map that marked all the galaxies near the Iswell cosmic wormhole in detail. Each planet is represented by flashing points of different colors on it, just like a large number of bright diamonds sprinkled on the dark curtain.

Lin Yuan looked at the magnificent star map in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder: "There are so many planets, where should we find them?"

In fact, this is also the most troublesome problem for Berg.The wormhole in the Iswell universe is complex and changeable, and there are countless exits leading to different galaxies. There is no way to completely determine which galaxy Rosen and Ling Yu went to. However, from the location where the black dragon remains were found and the nearby The situation of the galaxy can roughly infer the direction of the space transition of Rosen and Ling Yu after breaking through the wormhole.

Berg pondered for a moment, and then zoomed in on a galaxy marked in light green on the simulated star map——

Many stars in unknown galaxies are arranged in the shape of peacocks with their tails open, and hundreds of asteroids surround the stars. The glittering simulated star map is like spreading out green diamonds. It looks like a fine man-made work of art.

Berg pointed to one of the star fields, and said: "According to the location of the mecha fragments we found, after Rosen and Ling Yu broke through the wormhole, the direction of the transition should be towards this area—"

Caesar asked in surprise: "Is it Pavo?"

Berger nodded, "That's right."

Caesar's attainments in astronomy are deeper than his, and these are the results of His Majesty Trand's cultivation since childhood.Berg looked back at Caesar and said, smiled slightly and said: "With Caesar here, I don't think you will get lost at least. Go back and have a rest, and set off tomorrow morning. You should also take this star map with you. Please keep in touch with me if you have any difficulties.”

The four nodded cautiously, turned around and returned to the prepared room to rest.

※※※※※

The conditions in the underground military base were not good, and the rooms used for rest were also very simple. There were two single beds in the small room, just like a simple spaceship cabin.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yuan stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, but his heart was in a mess and he didn't feel sleepy.

Caesar noticed that the little monster on the bed next to him had been tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He seemed very excited, so he couldn't help getting up and walking to his bed, squeezed into his bed, and gently hugged Lin Yuan into it. In his arms, he asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking? Are you still asleep?"

Lin Yuan looked up at Caesar, and said earnestly: "I was thinking, there are so many galaxies around the wormhole, how did you make sure they must have arrived at the constellation Pavo? If you find the wrong one, wouldn't it be a waste of time... ..."

Caesar rubbed Lin Yuan's head with a smile, and patiently explained: "Uncle Berg and I didn't infer out of thin air. The mecha fragments of the black dragon replica were found near the constellation of Pavo, although there are other galaxies around , but there are several galaxies around Pavoya without any planets suitable for human habitation. Further south is the Southern Triangulum, which is the residence of the Federation Falcon Legion. With the cautious personality of the Marshal and General Ling Yu, they will not go to the Federation. The boundary jump, so the biggest possibility is still in the constellation Pavo... let's go there first and look for it."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized and nodded, and couldn't help but say, "You seem to know these galaxies in the universe very well?"

Caesar said, "Well, I learned some astronomy as a kid."

Lin Yuan couldn't help admiring: "You are so good, you learned this when you were young? When I was young, I only knew how to play mechs online."

Being praised by Xiao Yuan for being in a good mood, Nishizawa couldn't help but lift his chin, put a light kiss on his lips, and said softly: "Okay, let's go to bed early, we have to go early tomorrow morning. "

Lin Yuan nodded, imitating Caesar's action, kissed his lips lightly, and said with a smile, "Good night."

After that, he naturally found a comfortable position in Caesar's arms, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Probably because Caesar was at ease by his side, Lin Yuan quickly fell asleep.

In the dream, he returned to the water-blue planet. The sea breeze messed up his hair, and he seemed to be able to smell the salty sea water. Dad sat not far away and looked at him with a smile.

The warm memories of being with his father in childhood made Lin Yuan couldn't help smiling in his sleep.

Caesar looked down at Lin Yuan——

The boy curled up in his arms was breathing evenly, with a smile on his lips, and a pleasant scent of shower gel exuding from his body.When you hold him tightly in your arms, the warm feeling is like holding a stove in the cold winter months, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.

——Lin Yuan, do you know how happy it is for me to have you?

※※※※※

The next morning, after the four woke up, Berg sent someone to bring them brand-new military uniforms that were tailored properly.

The dark green military uniform is different from the dark blue military uniform of the military cadets. As a soldier of the Hydra Corps, the formal clothing is not only several times more refined than the military cadets' clothes in terms of tailoring and workmanship, but even the materials used are several grades higher. , the golden stars on the shoulders and the badge engraved with a serpentine totem on the chest are shining under the light, and a set of military uniforms shows the upright demeanor of the imperial soldiers in many details.

The four teenagers put on their straight military uniforms, giving people a completely new look.

Compared with the simple clothing of military school students, this kind of military uniform after officially joining the army made the four of them seem to have suddenly matured.

The four of you looked at me and I looked at you, and they almost couldn't even recognize each other.

Berg looked at the four slender teenagers in front of him, couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said, "This morning, Drew will send a fleet to continue to patrol and search near the Iswell cosmic wormhole. Soldiers, mix into that fleet, and after the fleet leaves the surveillance area of ​​Navi Star, you immediately follow the path of the wormhole and head towards the direction of the constellation Pavo.”

Berg paused, then added: "In fact, this fleet is all composed of the most trusted guards around Drew, and each of them is an elite of the Long Snake Legion. Danger, they will protect you."

Berg looked back at Lin Yuan, handed a badge symbolizing the identity of the captain to Lin Yuan's hand, and said: "I can't go with you, I need to find your two fathers as soon as possible, and everyone in this fleet , will obey your orders from now on."

Although the number of this fleet is small, they are all the most trusted subordinates personally selected by General Drew who can stand up to one hundred.

Lin Yuan was immediately flattered that such an elite team was sent to protect them.Moreover, let him be the captain, he felt that he did not have the weight and level to command those senior officers.

Looking at the badge that Berg handed over, Lin Yuan hesitated and said, "Isn't that appropriate? I've never been a captain..."

Caesar turned around, looked at Lin Yuan seriously and said, "Take it. The main purpose of this trip is to find your two fathers. A fleet must have a supreme commander. You are the most suitable candidate. .”

Brian also booed and said, "That's right, Lin Yuan, you are also a student from the Command Department, are you still afraid? Don't worry, Caesar will take care of anything. Father also sent Lieutenant Colonel Ian to accompany him. He also has a lot of experience.”

Lin Yuan wasn't afraid, but felt that he was young and had little experience, so he didn't have the qualifications to be a commander.

However, since Berg trusted him so much, it was hard for Lin Yuan to refuse.

Somewhat touched, he took the badge from Berg and stood at attention. Lin Yuan saluted Berg with a standard military salute, and said firmly, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"

——Worthy of being Ling Yu's own son, this kind of upright and rigorous military demeanor when accepting orders from superiors is also very similar to Ling Yu when he was young.

Berg couldn't help smiling, nodded and said, "Take care all the way, and look forward to your safe return as soon as possible."

※※※※※

After making all the preparations, Lin Yuan, Caesar, Brian, Snow, plus Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Yi and Lieutenant Colonel Fuente of the Night Legion, a group of six put on the uniforms of the Long Snake Legion. The identity of the soldier was mixed with the patrol fleet sent by Drew.

When the first ray of dawn shone on Namei in the early morning, everyone finally left this beautiful water-blue planet and set off in the direction of Pavo, taking the S-class mecha Suzaku and Bai Yu to find Marshal Rosen and The whereabouts of General Ling Yu.

A new type of warship capable of accommodating hundreds of people, the interior is very spacious, not only the spacious hall, kitchen, bathing facilities, and even an independent lounge exclusively for the captain.

The soldiers of the Long Snake Corps were all carrying out their work in an orderly manner. Lin Yuan, who was temporarily appointed as the captain, was even more embarrassed to go back to the captain's room to rest, so he had to stand on the bridge with Caesar. Looking at the landscape in the universe through the porthole.

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Ian, who was sent by Drew, suddenly walked to the bridge and saluted Lin Yuan: "Captain, there is an abnormal airflow ahead, it may be that the Iswell universe wormhole is about to undergo a space shock. , please indicate the sailing route of the warship."

The image detected by the detector in real time was immediately projected on the projection screen in front of him. A powerful vortex of air flow appeared near the cosmic wormhole in front of him, and it tended to spread gradually. It looked menacing, like a scourge.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but frowned——

The space shock above level six in the cosmic wormhole has devastating lethality. This kind of power is so huge that it can destroy all warships and mechs that enter it. die.

Although there are many cases of successfully escaping from the wormhole, although this path is the best route to the Peacock constellation, although Lin Yuan is also very anxious to find the two fathers...

However, taking risks just to save time is far from possible for Lin to do such impulsive things.

Not to mention that hundreds of people in the entire fleet are watching him, besides him is Caesar, the only heir to the throne of the empire, and his elder brother Snow, Brian, Master, Doctor Fuente, etc...

The lives of these people may be ruined innocently because of a wrong decision.

It wasn't until this moment that Lin Yuan realized how much psychological pressure it was to be a commander.Just a simple route change requires consideration of countless details, not to mention the ever-changing battlefield.

Thinking of this, I can't help but admire my two fathers even more.

Although he has been temporarily appointed as the captain of this small fleet, Lin Yuan does not dare to make decisions without authorization.After all, he has no experience, and the theoretical knowledge he learned in school is likely to make mistakes.

Lin Yuan carefully and carefully observed the movement of the airflow, and then pointed to a route on the simulated star map, turned to Lieutenant Colonel Ian and said: "There are three transition routes to Pavo, and this one is the closest , but since there are signs of spatial shock ahead, we'd better not take any risks. The other two lines, the one on the left is relatively close to the South Triangle, in case of encountering the federal enemy, it will cause unnecessary trouble. I think, it’s better to divert to the Swallow Seat and use the third plan to jump, what do you think?”

Lieutenant Colonel Ian was stunned for a moment—I didn't expect this young boy to be so modest and stable, and he didn't act impulsively because he was appointed as the captain at a young age. The sincere smile on his face also gave people a kind of "respect" a feeling of.

As an elder, the discomfort of being commanded and ordered by young people quickly disappeared. Lieutenant Colonel Ian smiled gently, saluted the young man in front of him, and said, "Captain, what you said is very reasonable. We immediately adopt the third option, diverting to the Swallows."

Lin Yuan also politely returned a military salute and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Ian, thank you for your hard work."

Ian nodded with a smile, turned and left.

It wasn't until Lieutenant Colonel Ian left that Lin Yuan looked back at Caesar, and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's a bit weird to be called the captain... My decision must be right, right?"

——The little guy’s earnest analysis and giving orders just now seem to be the case. Although he looks very immature at his age, he is born with a unique temperament of a military general—— that comes from Because of the temperament in the bones of his two biological fathers.

Lin Yuan's attitude is modest, but his eyes are very firm and calm, making people happy to accept his instructions.

Caesar resisted the urge to kiss his little monster fiercely, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, have more confidence in yourself... Don't forget, you are the son of Marshal and General Ling Yu."

Lin Yuan smiled, lowered his voice, and leaned into Caesar's ear and said, "Because I am their son, I am more worried... They are all too good, I am afraid I will embarrass them..."

Caesar couldn't help holding his hand, and said softly, "No...the two fathers are unsurpassable existences in your heart, and you, too, will be their pride."

Lin Yuan looked up at Caesar, and asked earnestly, "Is it possible? I'm afraid that my father will be disappointed when he sees me..."

Facing Lin Yuan's bright eyes, Caesar held back a smile and said, "How is it possible? Your father must like you before it's too late."

Such a lively and cheerful baby son, even with General Ling Yu's cold and arrogant personality, he will like it very much, right?

——How can you be disappointed?

※※※※※

Pavo, unknown planet.

Rosen took the black dragon to search for energy, and Ling Yu stayed in the cave alone, continuing to draw a detailed star map route.

In the past few days, Rosen has found several caves with this strange energy stone. After the black dragon continuously absorbs energy and converts light energy, the energy reserve inside the mech has reached 60%.

According to this speed, at most ten days later, he will be able to leave here.

Although the progress is very gratifying, Ling Yu still feels very uneasy.

When he rushed to rescue Rosen, it was an instinctive reaction without thinking about it at all. After seeing Rosen being sucked into the wormhole, he subconsciously drove the mech and rushed over... If he and Rosen really And being buried in the impulse of the universe, wouldn't it destroy His Majesty's entire plan?

Thinking about it now, Ling Yu also felt that he was too impulsive and crazy at the time.

but……

If he did it all over again, he would still make this choice.

Watching Rosen in danger, he simply can't be calm and has nothing to do with himself.

This instinctive reaction also constantly reminded him that Rosen held a special weight in his heart.That kind of weight is so heavy that he can even give his life...

Ling Yu leaned over to add a spot of light on the star map, but with the movement of leaning over, his stomach suddenly churned, and Ling Yu immediately went to the depths of the cave and retched desperately.

He didn't eat much at all early in the morning, and he retched for a long time but couldn't vomit anything. The feeling like a spasm in his stomach forced him to vomit repeatedly. He vomited for several days in a row, which was exhausting.

I don't know how long it took before this strong feeling of nausea gradually subsided.

Ling Yu stood up with a pale face, gently moved her slender fingers to her still flat abdomen, and frowned slightly.
