Unintentionally

The Fifth Army of the Frontier Army is in another star field called Eris. The magnetic field of this long and narrow star field is not stable, and the planetary conditions suitable for human habitation are relatively harsh. The resident, because after passing the Eris star field, it is the domain of another interstellar empire.

The long-distance journey requires the use of a transfer station for space jumps. Being in the subspace feels dizzy and nauseating. Fortunately, it only lasts for a short dozen seconds, and the longest will not exceed 1 minute.

When Xuan Zifang and his friends arrived at the third satellite of Eris, the headquarters of the fifth army, everyone was dizzy, and some of them were slightly weaker and had symptoms of vomiting. Although they were all students of the military academy, It wasn't until after a day of rest that the aftereffects of the space jump got better.

There is only one not-so-big star in the Eris Starfield, named Eris. Although Eris is not too big, it has many planets.

The main station of the fifth army of the border guards is the third and fifth satellites of Eris, and the main station of the seventh army is the No.13 and fourteenth satellites.

The fifth and seventh troops of the border defense army are conducting the military exercise this time.

The third satellite of Eris, referred to as the three satellites of Eris, has an area smaller than the capital planet by more than one and a half stars, and its rotation period is relatively short, only 18 hours a day. Although the mobile phone it brings cannot communicate with the outside world, and because of the magnetic field disorder, It is not easy to contact the outside world, but it is still possible to adjust the time.

The mobile phone is used as an alarm clock. At nine o'clock in the morning, Xuan Zi just woke up with a yawn.

After changing clothes, washing his face and brushing his teeth, Xuan Zifang was still sleepy, and then he heard someone knock on the door of his room.

"Good morning..." Xuan Zifang opened the door and said to Yu Site who was standing at the door.

"It's getting late, okay? Everyone else has already reported for duty." Yuster said dissatisfied.

Xuan Zifang was still biting a piece of bread, still struggling with the tie: "I'm sorry, I'll be fine soon!"

Yuster: "..."

Yuster, who couldn't see it, grabbed Xuan Zifang's tie and neatly tied the knot for him, "Has no one taught you this kind of knot?"

"No..." Xuan Zifang smiled awkwardly. When they arrived at the Three Guards of Eris, someone had already prepared the junior non-commissioned officer's military uniform for them. This military uniform looked no different from a sailor uniform. Ties are really difficult for Xuan Zifang, but he can easily change to Su Ji's usual tie.

Yuster: "Hurry up, you are so dawdling, only I am willing to wait for you."

Xuan Zifang smiled wryly, "Don't rush me..."

In desperation, Xuan Zifang had no choice but to finish eating the piece of bread, and then hurried out with Yu Site.

The 21 people in the same group moved faster than them. They had already reported for duty, and according to the results of random assignment, they went back to pack their luggage and prepare to go to the next place.

The contestants in the three-school league this time were all randomly placed under the fifth or seventh troops of the border defense army. Each of them had a number, Yusite was 029, and Xuan Zifang was 030.

Although they reported late, the National Defense School was the first to arrive at the station, and their numbers were relatively high.

Then the system randomly assigned Yuster to the seventh team, and Xuan Zifang was in the fifth team.

But Xuan Zifang had to go back with Yuster to pack up his things, because he was going to report to the Five Guards of Eris next.

Each assigned unit will have an instructor, and the one in charge of Xuan Zifang's group is a senior non-commissioned officer named Kai Luoer.

Kyroll is a tall and thin young man with strong facial features. He belongs to the Third Fleet of the Fifth Army. In a group of students he leads, besides Hals, who is an acquaintance of Xuan Zifang, there is also a student of the Imperial Military Academy.

It is well known that the students of the Military Academy are not at odds with the students of the National Defense Academy, and the students of the Military Academy also look down on the students of the Amaar Academy, so neither Xuan Zifang nor Carroll paid much attention to him.

Of course, the student named Fei Lagan has always been very flirtatious and ignored them.

Hals tried to infect Ferragan with his gentlemanly demeanor, but it was a pity that others didn't like him at all.

Hals had no choice but to give up, but he still couldn't talk to Xuan Zifang easily, and he always felt like a thorn in his heart. No matter what Xuan Zifang told him, he had the illusion that Xuan Zifang was mocking him.

"In this exercise, our task is to detect the enemy's situation." Carroll introduced: "This is relatively easy work, but it is not easy to do well, which requires keen observation, analysis ability and concealment skills. "

While talking, Kyroll opened one of the space capsules on the battleship with a password card: "In the next half a month, the four of us will live in this temporary dormitory. The conditions may be a bit rough, but the sleeping cabin There are nutrient solutions and radio wave therapy, which can relieve pain and fatigue."

After finishing speaking, he distributed the remaining three password cards to Xuan Zifang and the others.

"This is the proof of entering and exiting the room. I will only say the password once. Don't forget it." Carol told the three people the password, and said: "To open the door, you need to use the password card and the password at the same time."

Hals asked, "Are we scouts in this exercise?"

Carol: "Exactly."

Xuan Zifang: "What should we do during the investigation?"

Carroll said: "When there is an order from above, I will go out with you, a group of four, and you need to control a patrol boat."

Hals asked again: "Will you configure mechas for us?"

"Oh, that's impossible." Carol smiled and said, "This is for combat, you don't need it."

"To put it bluntly," Feilagen sneered, "We are just young people, and the high-end configuration is not up to us."

Carol: "This..."

Feilagen: "The characters who can perform well on the battlefield are all left to the people of Amaar Academy, heh!"

Carol's face was a bit unhappy: "Student Feilagen, please pay attention to your words..."

"You are just a senior non-commissioned officer, and I will at least be a second lieutenant after graduation. Even if you are our instructor for the time being, I still hope you can call me Fei Lagan, and save the suffix that makes you feel superior. "

Hals saw that Kyrol's face was beyond livid, so he hurried up to stand in front of Ferragan, and changed the subject, so that they would not be deducted negative points when they first arrived in the Third Fleet.

Because of the strangeness of Ferragan who can draw hatred, Kyrol even didn't look much better towards Xuan Zifang and Hals. The face also made Kyroll unable to say anything serious to him, and the four of them spent a not-so-pleasant day in the space capsule.

In the middle of the night, the broadcast of the space capsule suddenly beeped, and the entire capsule was enveloped in flashing red light.

Red represents alert, or urgent tasks.

Xuan Zifang got up in pain. At this time, he didn't dare to dawdle. He packed himself up as quickly as possible, messed with his tie casually, and stood in a row with Kyroll outside the space capsule when he was dressed. Then he found that There are also several space capsules with people standing outside.

Everyone stood up straight, without squinting.

Three minutes after the siren sounded, there was a voice on the radio: "Urgent mission, urgent mission. All patrols of the Third Fleet are dispatched, the target: the blue sand belt and the surrounding area."

The broadcast repeats twice, then no one speaks, and the red light goes off.

Then the instructor of one of the space capsules stood up and said: "Line up, let's go!" Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and quickly lined up in groups.

Xuan Zifang and the others quickly stood up and followed behind Carol.

They walked from the living area to the warship's preparation area, where many patrol boats were parked, like miniature spaceships, but they were equipped with compact light cannons, which could be used for combat besides scouting.

However, compared to mechs, the combat effectiveness of this patrol boat can only be said to be at the cannon fodder level.

The instructors had a short meeting of about 1 minute, and then Carol ran back with three more space suits in his hand, one for him and one for the three students.

"The clothes are worn in the patrol boat. Time is running out. Let's go first." Carol said.

Everyone didn't talk much, everyone seemed very nervous, everyone entered the patrol boat one after another, Xuan Zifang and the others also went through the one-meter-high hatch with their spacesuits in their arms.

There are two areas in the patrol boat, the front window and the rear window.Both windows have detection and attack consoles, but the field of view is different.

Kyroll thought for a while, and put Xuan Zifang and Fei Lagen together to go to the rear window, while he and Hals were in the front window.

Xuan Zifang actually didn't want to be parted with Fei Lagen at all, but this was the instructor's order, and he could only obey.

And Fei Lagen didn't wash away his impression in Xuan Zifang's mind, as soon as he sat down, he occupied the right to use the console: "On the battlefield, Omega has no right to speak." He said to Xuan Zifang.

Xuan Zifang tried his best to take a deep breath and endured it.

About [-] light-years to the northeast of the Third Fleet stronghold in the blue sand belt is a place full of cosmic dust, which is mixed with several dwarf planets. Since the material that makes up these dust is mainly nitrogen, it presents a beautiful The faint blue color is named as the blue sand belt.

They walked for more than three hours, and didn't see any trace of the enemy fleet. Even Kyroll said in the communicator that they should relax and eat something to replenish their energy.

Xuan Zifang yawned, and looking sideways, Fei Lagen also looked sleepy.

Did not sleep well.

This kind of exercise is actually tossing people, Xuan Zifang couldn't help laughing when he thought of Su Ji's description.

"What are you laughing at?" Ferragan glared at him viciously.

"It's nothing..." Xuan Zifang spread his hands innocently.

Ferragan: "..."

Xuan Zifang: "Ah, look! What is that!"

Xuan Zifang noticed something fuzzy in the detector, said to be a celestial body, the volume seemed to be too small, but the density was surprisingly high.

The detection shows an unknown object, and the detector cannot get more data except for the data of the initial estimation of the object density.

"There is definitely a problem. I'll go and talk to Carol." Xuan Zifang picked up the communicator.

Fei Lagen frowned, and quickly snatched Xuan Zifang's communicator: "Why are you looking for that sergeant?"

Xuan Zifang: "Don't you think the object that can't even be measured by the detector is very suspicious?"

Felagen despised: "That's a black hole, don't you understand? Of course the density of a black hole cannot be detected by the detector."

Xuan Zifang shook his head and said, "But look at that object, although it is far away, it is indeed moving!"

"The universe is not static, even primary school students, no, kindergarten kids know that." Ferragen cut it, "Besides, what you see is just the movement of the sucked-in matter?"
