This alpha is disabled and determined [Interstellar]

Bai Li had never seen a child dare to yell at him like this since he graduated from elementary school, and he didn't recover for a long time.

After yelling, Si Dong felt strangely relieved. He looked up and found that the confrontation on the virtual screen was over, and the simulation cabin was opened. The researchers around Lu Zhao were stunned by the yelling. look at him.

"Be louder!" Situ slapped his brother on the back, "Give you a microphone, if there is one person in the main star who doesn't hear you shouting tomorrow, I will slap you to death!"

Si understand took a hit, frowned and pursed his mouth silently.

When Situ saw his brother sawing the mouth gourd, he became angry: "Are you crazy? You came here to swear an oath? You try to make a mess, and I will tell Dad when I get home at night, look at how he will deal with you!"

Bai Li stopped him, not letting Situ continue to whip his brother, and handed water to Lu Zhao who had just walked over.

"What's going on," Lu Zhao asked as he unscrewed the water, and saw Situ scolding his younger brother, "Don't worry?"

"He wants to be a substitute, but Situ doesn't agree." Bai Li watched Situ spitting all over the place and educated Sitong.

The people in the research institute were already familiar with this kind of scene. At most, Situ would slap his younger brother twice on the back, neither serious nor serious. If he didn't interrupt him, he could nag his younger brother for more than half an hour at a stretch. .

This time, Bai Li didn't give Situ a chance to chatter for half an hour. When Situ said, "I should crack you down when you stand on the roof in the third and fourth grades and take an oath towards the sunset", Bai Li helped him to walk aside: "Come on, Mr. Si, hold back for a while, and save some saliva to spray during the meeting."

While being pushed away, Situ stretched his neck back and yelled at Si Dong: "Did you understand what I just said? Ah?"

After Bai Li carried Situ away, Si Tong sat down on the sofa with his head drooping.

Only Lu Zhao and Si Dong were left near the couch in the research institute. Lu Zhao didn't have much experience with children of this age, so he didn't know how to speak.

"Brother Zhao, I'll just sit down." Si Dong stopped calling Major General Lu Zhao recently, "You are busy with your work."

Lu Zhao has nothing to do, he is here to practice today, and he took a meal-replacing nutrient solution from the constant temperature cabinet next to him: "Drink?"

"Well, I haven't eaten yet." Si Xiao took it and unscrewed it, and drank it up in two or three sips.

Lu Zhao sat down next to him, took out his personal terminal to connect to the research institute's system, and began to watch the replay of the previous battle.

The video of the battle with the substitute was not interesting, Lu Zhao watched it for a while and then changed to something else.

As soon as he tuned into the replay of the previous scene between him and Bai Li, he felt that Si Dong next to him had passed by, and he stretched his head to look here.

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh a little, this kid really doesn't look like Situ's younger brother, but rather like Bai Li's younger brother.

He magnified the virtual screen a little and asked Si Dong to watch it together.

"It's very handsome," Si understands while looking at it and said sullenly, "I want to drive it too."

Lu Zhao: "Give me a mock cabin for you."

"I want to be a substitute," Si understands, "but my brother won't let me."

Lu Zhao looked at him.

"I'm young, my mental strength is unstable, and I can't support this model," Si understands dejectedly, "This competition is very important to Brother Li, and requires experienced pilots. I'm just a student and have no experience."

Lu Zhao didn't know what to say. He didn't get along with teenagers in the confusion period, so he could only say "Oh": "Indeed."

"..." Si understands his head lowered even lower, "Brother Zhao, it's fine if you don't comfort me, and you don't need to agree so bluntly."

Lu Zhao smiled.

The main thing Situ said is correct, this kind of competition is not an intramural competition of the military academy, and Si understands that his usual training targets are all students. An old fritter with a background of hard work, or a powerful character who retired from the private guard.

Under the current pressure, not everyone can drive the mecha well.

"Actually, I don't want to make trouble, I just..." Si Dong sat on the sofa, frowning and buttoning his pants with his hands, thinking for a while, "I'm just aggrieved."

Lu Zhao didn't speak, and Si Dong was like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, telling the messy things with his roommate in the military academy before.

After speaking, I felt a little hypocritical, touched my nose, leaned on the back of the sofa and said, "I know it's useless to argue with him, but I just don't have the strength. It's okay if others think we can't do it. We don't think we can do it ourselves." ..."

Lu Zhao nodded after listening, and continued to watch the video.

Si Dong didn't get his response, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he straightened up and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, do you think I'm annoying? My brother thinks I'm annoying."

"No." Lu Zhao really didn't think that, he could understand Si's rambling, and felt like Bai Li, who was not so virtuous, was rambling, which was quite interesting.

"Then why..." Si understands embarrassedly, "don't say anything."

Lu Zhao didn't understand, and when he looked at his boss with confusion and longing eyes, he finally understood what he meant: "Ask me what I think about this?"

Si understand nodded: "You must have encountered this kind of thing... before on Starnet, in those comments..." He didn't finish, but both of them knew what it meant.

"I don't read these news and comments," Lu Zhao said frankly, "wasting time."

These words made Si understand choke, for a moment he felt that the gap between himself and Lu Zhao had been widened a little bit, and he felt more admiration in addition to being frustrated.

"It's okay, I just don't understand it, and I don't know what to do, so I just ask," Si understand retreated on the sofa, "I have no place to ask these before."

His brother is a irascible nerd who devotes himself to research. He was the only one who had been admitted to the military academy to learn mech combat since he was a child. There was really no one who could talk about such things.Only Bai Li is better, Brother Li is really one of the few careful people in Si Dong's life, but he is also an alpha after all, Si Dong is not very good at talking about these things with him.

Lu Zhao glanced sideways at Si Dong, the child was not energetic, and had the decadent temperament unique to young people in the confused period.

This kind of temperament is probably not found in Lu Zhao and Bai Li in this life, and neither of them has much time to worry about it.

But Lu Zhao didn't think Si Dong's troubles were childish. He liked Si Dong's appearance. He was a good child raised by a good education. He was positive, courageous and determined. Lu Zhao always liked this kind of child.

"No place to ask these?" Lu Zhao finally spoke.

"Well, like my brother, he got impatient before I finished asking," Si Dong said, "My father followed my father to do business all over the world, so he didn't have time to take care of me."

Lu Zhao nodded, and asked again: "Your family supports you to go to the military academy?"

"It's okay." It was rare for Si Dong to talk so much to Lu Zhao, and he sat up straight and said, "My father was not very happy at the time, but he didn't say anything when I was admitted. My father was very supportive, and my brother just I was afraid that I would be bullied, but later I found out that I bullied others a lot, so I just ignored it.”

The second half of the sentence is quite proud.

Si understood hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Brother Zhao, your family..."

"They all passed away." Lu Zhao said, "No one cares about me." After a second, he said, "Bai Li supports it."

He used to have two family members, his parents, but now there is one more.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Si understood and opened his mouth, "That's nice." He quickly explained, "I mean you and Brother Li are really nice."

Si Dao was afraid that Lu Zhao would misunderstand: "Really, there are not many Omegas who don't worry about their partner's attitude after marriage."

"Well," Lu Zhao also understood, "Not everyone is Bai Li."

Si understands and nods.

"Not everyone has the same living environment as me and you." Lu Zhao said again, and he switched to the next battle video, "Don't force them too much."

Si Dong sat on the sofa in a daze. He was very close to Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao's voice was very calm, and he also calmed down.

People are different from person to person, in fact, sometimes it is reflected in their growth environment.

Some people bathe in the sun and have never seen darkness, so they are innocent and harmless all their lives.

Some people live in the quagmire, smelling rancid all their lives, and their mouths are filled with sludge. Even if they struggle to climb out, it will take a long time to wash away these stains.

This is not to say that people are good or bad because of their birth, but that the environment in which they grow up will affect part of people's concepts.

Someone sees a flower and feels beautiful and happy.When someone sees a flower, he thinks that it will wither eventually.

It is torture to make happy people face pain, and it is also torture to force pessimistic people to be optimistic.

You can't change the thinking of many people, and you don't have much ability to change the status quo. In fact, there are very few things you can do, because you are a small character.

"Then what should I do," Si Dong shrank on the sofa, leaning a little closer to Lu Zhao, and asked in a low voice, "What can I do to help him, and what can I do to prove myself?" After a pause , and added another sentence, "What can I do to change the status quo a little bit."

"I don't know," Lu Zhao said lightly, "It's difficult, I haven't thought about it."

He really didn't think about it, he didn't have time to think about it.

Si understands looking at him: "But I think you did a good job."

Lu Zhao said calmly, "I didn't think about anything else, I just kept walking forward."

I don't know if it's because of the worship mentality, but Si understands that when these words come from Lu Zhao's mouth, he can hear his blood boiling.

"Someone has thought about it," Lu Zhao said again, "He did a good job."

Situ was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask, he felt his head being rubbed.

"Hurry up and run," Bai Li said with a smile standing behind the sofa. "Your brother will come down later. He just told me that he wants to educate you."

Si Dao said angrily, "I just want to be a substitute."

"You keep thinking," Bai Li said, "but don't say it."

Lu Zhao laughed.

Si understands being poorer than Bai Li, clutching his hair in silence.

"Why don't you," Bai Li said, "you can come here these few days, and if you have free time in the simulation warehouse here, you can go. That substitute is very good. You can play a few hands with him for practice. If you can give him a Get down, let me tell you about your brother."

Si Dong stood up with a "whoosh" and ran towards the simulation cabin.

"You think he can do it?" Lu Zhao looked up at Bai Li, "Your substitute is okay."

Bai Li smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm here, so it's not my turn to be a substitute."

This was very arrogant, but Lu Zhao did not refute it.

In terms of mechs, Lu Zhao never refuted Bai Li.

Just as he was talking, Si Xiao rushed back: "By the way, there is one more thing. I have a senior who wants to interview you."

"Interview me?" Bai Li was stunned.

"Well, he is from the News and Propaganda Department of our college. He said he had contacted you, but you didn't reply, so he asked me to ask," Si Dong explained, "He is okay, and he is good at writing press releases for the school magazine. It's not like some idiots who write nonsense."

Si Dong has been running behind Bai Li and Situ's ass since he was a child. He is a bit domineering like Bai Li and stubborn like Situ. He calls anyone who looks down on him "stupid". He has been educated several times and has not corrected it.

"Ah..." Bai Li paused for a few seconds, "Let's talk about it."

Lu Zhao glanced at him, but didn't answer.

"Okay, I'll go tell him." Si Xiao was quite obedient, nodded, but still hesitated and said, "Brother Li, I think you can talk to him. If you don't explain, what do people outside really want to say?" That's all."

Before Bai Li opened his mouth to answer, Si Dong said again: "I know, let's talk about the facts, but I think you can occasionally say something with your mouth."

"I will speak ill of you to your brother in a while." Bai Li said.

Si understands and runs away.

"Tough," Bai Li walked around and sat on the sofa, took a sip of the water that Lu Zhao had drunk, "Talking to a child of this age is the most strenuous."

Lu Zhao looked at him: "You are not going to be interviewed."

"I didn't think about it," Bai Li scratched his neck, sighed, and leaned on Lu Zhao, watching the video playback with him, "I can imagine what the interview will ask, but I can't answer it. For so many years, I have been focusing on making this mecha, and I have never thought about how to tell others about this mecha."

In fact, it's not that I can't say it, maybe I want to say too much, and I don't know where to start.

It was as if he had been dumb for many years. When he was dumb, he wanted to sing, curse, and even recite impassionedly.But when he really healed his throat and a group of people surrounded him and asked him to say a few words, he found that his mind went blank, and he couldn't think of what to say in the first sentence.

Lu Zhao didn't persuade him, and said "Yes": "I know."

It feels good to understand this kind of words without saying everything. Bai Li squinted his eyes and enjoyed this feeling. Lu Zhao called up the video of the battle with the substitute before, and the two discussed for a while.

"I found that you are more suitable for educating his younger brother than Situ," Bai Li said, "you are very good at teaching and educating people."

Lu Zhao reacted for a few seconds: "What education?"

"Just now," Bai Li patted the sofa, "Si Dong is sitting here, asking questions like a silly dog."

Lu Zhao understood: "You heard it all."

"I put Situjia aside and came back," Bai Li said confidently, "but I don't know how to deal with the troubles of teenagers in the confused period, so I decided to let the idol of teenagers solve the teenagers for me."

Major General Lu, the youth idol, was helpless: "I didn't educate him."

"Very good," Bai Li said, "It's better than me and Situ put together."

Lu Zhao shook his head.

Bai Li leaned on him and said, "Really, you are more like a brother than us."

"You don't need to say it," Lu Zhao said, "You have been doing it all the time, he understands."

Bai Li shook Lu Zhao's hand and squeezed: "That's right, I'm also a brother after all."

"Well," Lu Zhao smiled, "Brother Li."

For a moment, one of Bai Li's nerves twitched very subtly.

He was still leaning on Lu Zhao, and whispered: "Ah, I didn't hear you clearly, call again."

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Hurry up." Bai Li urged with red ears.

"Is it interesting?" Lu Zhao was helpless.

"I've called you brother so many times," Bai Li looked at him, "Do you think it's interesting?"

Lu Zhao really didn't understand what kind of rubbish Bai Li was pretending to be in, so he pretended not to hear and continued to watch the video.

When Bai Li felt that the game was over, he spread out on the sofa with his eyes closed and prepared to take a nap as if he had given up, when he heard Lu Zhao whisper in his ear, "Li Li."

Bai Li turned his head to the other side.

Lu Zhao laughed and said, "Brother Li."

Bai Li quickly turned his head back, closed his eyes and replied: "Brother Li, sleep for a while, when I wake up, I will use the machine armor to do something big."

On the day when the solicitation contest of the Imperial Research Institute started, the attention of the military academy and major legions reached an unprecedented peak.

The opening ceremony is a tradition of solicitation competitions over the years. In this opening ceremony, all drivers will gather in the main arena to show the mechs they drive to the judges, military academy and major legions.

The huge main arena can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, but because the competition is targeted at groups, there are not many votes, and the audience seats are not full. Instead, there are suspended live broadcast robots floating on the periphery of the arena.

Thousands of suspended robots shuttled over the arena, and the light of the shooting lights filled the huge space, blending into the virtual universe and stars, becoming a flowing star cluster.

Behind these suspended robots are screens one after another, and countless audiences.

Among the countless spectators, there are different genders, residents of different affiliated planets, students and members of the legion, soldiers with many battles, and young eagles that are still growing.There are front-line officers, garrison troops, and soldiers from the logistics department.

Discussions on the mecha forum have been endless. Although the opening ceremony has not yet started, the pilots from various research institutes who came to participate in the competition outside the main arena are amazing enough.

This year's solicitation competition gathers talents and stars compete for glory.

"Bring me another bottle of water," Situ stood backstage, sweating all over nervously, "Why am I so thirsty!"

"It's useless if you drink eight more bottles." Yang Han stammered when he was nervous, "Small, be careful and go to the bathroom later."

Several venues are divided in the background of the arena for the technicians and drivers of the research institute to rest and adjust.

The technicians didn't need to go on stage, they were only responsible for adjusting the data and the simulation chamber, but Situ was still so nervous that he took a bottle of water by himself, and couldn't unscrew it for a long time.

A hand reached out and unscrewed it for him.

"Drink," Bai Li said, "Drink two more sips for me, I'll choke when I see you."

Situ took the water and punched Bai Li: "Are you not nervous at all?"

"Small scene," Bai Li teased Liu Hai'er, "my face can withstand being photographed from any angle."

Several researchers smiled, but were still nervously rubbing their hands and stamping their feet.

It was just a cutscene opening ceremony, but for some reason, everyone tensed up.

They really came to this main arena.

Jiang Hao brought Han Miao and Chen Nan to the backstage. They will sit in the auditorium in a while, and now they come to the backstage to check the situation in advance.

Bai Li chatted briefly with them, and walked to the door leading to the arena backstage.

With his back turned to him, Lu Zhao folded his arms and looked at the long dark corridor outside the door.At the end of the corridor is the arena that is shining with stars and lights, but from here, there is only a small gap there.

This gap is where Bai Li is going to go.

"Flowers," Bai Li walked over and put his arms around Lu Zhao's shoulders, "You are very handsome today."

Lu Zhao is wearing a military uniform today, which is what he will wear on all important occasions.

Although he had seen it on the cruise ship, Bai Li still couldn't get enough of it.

Lu Zhao regained his composure and looked sideways at Bai Li: "You are very nervous."

"Shh," Bai Li whispered, "don't let them hear it."

Lu Zhao pulled Bai Li's hand off his shoulder and held it in his hand.

Wrapped by Lu Zhao's palm, Bai Li felt that his slightly trembling fingers had finally calmed down.

They stood at the door, looking at the light-filled gap at the end of the corridor.

"I'll go there in a while," Bai Li said, "I'll stand in the center of the light, and there will be a mech I want to activate on the virtual screen."

"Well, I'm in the auditorium." Lu Zhao said, "Looking at you and your mecha."

Bai Li's trembling stopped.

He didn't care about the eyes of other people in the background, turned his head and kissed Lu Zhao's lips.

With a huge roar, a virtual first-generation mech of the Empire swooped down in the sky above the main arena, and hit the stage of the main arena amidst the exclamation of the audience, turning into speckled stars and scattered in all directions.

The gentle voice of the robot sounded: "Under the guidance of the first-generation mecha, the new mecha will ignite a few more stars for the empire—"

"—This is the scene of the opening ceremony of the Imperial Academy's Mecha Contest!"

The first driver walked to the arena from the same way he was assigned. The moment he stepped into the arena, the mecha he was driving appeared beside him in a virtual projection mode, and walked along the arena with his steps.

There was a burst of exclamation in the auditorium, and the hovering robots passed by like shooting stars.

Lu Zhao stretched out his hand and smoothed a pleat on Bai Li's shoulder.

"See you later." Bai Li smiled, "Major General Lu."

Lu Zhao nodded: "See you later, Major General Bai."

All spectators backstage were asked to leave and go to their seats to watch the opening ceremony.

Bai Li stood in front of the door, looking at the dark corridor.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time," Situ walked to him and stopped, "I know you've been waiting even longer."

Bai Li was pushed by him.

"Take our mecha," Situ shook his fist, "fuck it!"

Yang Han and several researchers shook their fists and let out a loud roar.

Bai Li adjusted the collar of his suit and smiled: "This time Major General Bai will take you flying."

He turned his head, took a deep breath, and walked into the dark corridor.

He walks in this darkness.

It's been many years going forward.

On the huge arena, virtual mechas and their drivers walked by, and the artificial intelligence was broadcasting their respective models and driver names.

Bai Li stepped into the arena, looked sideways, and saw that huge dark blue mech appeared beside him.

Stardust drifted away from his path with every step, his mech walking with him.

Bai Li suddenly wanted to yell, but he heard applause and felt the lights.

This is his playing field, his battlefield.

Lu Zhao was watching him outside the court.

"White01 model, developed by Bai's Research Institute," the voice of the artificial intelligence is extremely clear, "Pilot, Bai Li."
