the days before i bought the galaxy

On February 1212th, 2 in the Galactic calendar, Warren Slim and his fiancée Mirit Leslie returned on board the Xiaguang spacecraft, accompanied by four medium-sized commercial ships and two commercial warships in the Xiaguang fleet. In addition to the dual-purpose ship, there is also a medium-sized frigate belonging to the Bethel Local Security Force.

The frigate's artillery is equivalent to 12 medium-sized commercial and warships, and it is also equipped with 200 new fighter jets and a large-scale powerful protective shield.The commander of the frigate, Menggalt Kong, is a young officer with rich combat experience. He just turned 35 this year and graduated from the Bethel Military Academy.Montgart once pursued Mirit before, although he was unsuccessful, but this time he offered to accept the escort mission to the administrator, which can be said to have an ancient knight-like guardian heart for Mirit.

At this moment, there are still 30 minutes before the official departure, and Montgart is sitting in the captain's seat to communicate with someone outside the cabin.

"Board my ship as a liaison officer?" Menggalt glanced at the young man on the screen, pondered for a moment, "You are a robot, right? You can board the ship, but only if our mechanics treat you procedures are checked.”

"No problem." Lan agreed.

Program inspection can only inspect inherent modules, all self-developed modules cannot be inspected, and he himself does not load military programs like intelligence collection, so he is not afraid of inspection.He simply connected the cable behind his ear to the data interface outside the spaceship, and then temporarily opened the reading permission.

"The kernel has not been modified, all modules have been checked, and there is no problem." The mechanic quickly reported.

Menggal nodded: "Boarding is allowed! What are you holding?"

"The cost required for precise space folding. This part of the deep space crystal is provided by Miss Leslie." Lan raised the box in his hand so that the other party could scan it.

"Do you need precise space folding..." Menggalt chewed the tobacco leaves twice, which was his habitual action when thinking.

The use of precise space folding shows that this voyage is not just a simple engagement trip as said before. Does the urgent need to stay away from Bethel mean hidden dangers?

"Please board the ship from Entrance No. 7, and then go to isolation compartment No. 15 for a full body check. I will meet you before departure."

"Yes, Mr. Captain."

After the picture on the screen disappeared, Menggalt was still thinking about the danger level of this escort mission.

After 30 minutes, the fleet officially set sail.

After a long period of acceleration, the spaceship began to move forward in the universe at a superluminal speed. The entire fleet, led by the frigate commanded by Menggalt, guarded the Xiaguang at the most central position.

Sunshine, Control Module—

"There are still 34 days, 17 hours and 24 minutes before the precise space folding, and all the data are normal. Warren, do you want to take a break?" Odin temporarily acted as the navigator because Lan was not there.

"Keep the observation room on 24-hour vigilance, and the rest of the staff will be disbanded." Warren gave orders while leaning his back on the captain's high-back chair. "I need a cup of coffee."

Odin turned around to get a cup of coffee, and he smiled at Warren: "Now you regret sending your nanny to the frigate?"

"I need military intelligence. Sending any natural person will arouse the suspicion of the other party. Only Lan can take on this important task. The force of that ship is greater than all the force I have at present. I must always pay attention to its movements to prevent the most dangerous It happened." Warren took a sip of his coffee and said in a very serious tone, "so, sending him is the best choice."

"Deceive yourself. You look like a lovelorn boy now." Odin looked at him with interest.

"Blue is my most trusted subordinate." Warren emphasized.

"So?" Odin raised his eyebrows, showing a look of disdain.

"So if I really have to choose a lover, I would rather choose you." Warren smiled, and reached out to fiddle with the red necklace on Odin's neck, "This necklace suits you very well, and the color is just in between your hair color and pupil color."

"I remember I told you that I'm not interested in natural people." Odin pulled the necklace from Warren's hand, "Besides, if you think we are not compatible enough, being a lover will not bring any change. "

"You can always guess what I'm thinking!" Warren widened his eyes, and then laughed loudly, "Yes, I don't think we know enough between us. If we become lovers, we can quickly increase our understanding and enhance our understanding of each other. Trust, no?"

Odin shook his head: "I have to say, Warren, your IQ in terms of love is about zero."

"Why do you say that?"

"Whether it is a half-human or a natural person, they will not court for such a utilitarian purpose. No chamber of commerce president will choose to associate with his adjutant in order to make the internal connection of the chamber of commerce closer."

"Then why should I choose a lover? Primitive impulse? The need to continue the offspring?" Warren looked puzzled, obviously feeling that these were meaningless to him.His ambitions and aspirations are all in the Slim Chamber of Commerce. If he can develop an extraordinary relationship with his adjutant, it will undoubtedly enhance the cohesion of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Feeling, you should go with your feeling. My dear Mr. President, love is just an unexplainable intuition in most cases!"

"Hmph! Make it sound like you're very experienced."

"I have much more experience than you. Don't forget, in terms of age ratio, I am equivalent to your parents!"

"Really? What about your former lovers?"

"Dead." Odin suddenly stared into Warren's eyes. "They are all dead without exception. So, for the sake of your life safety, you'd better not get my idea."

"Odin..." Warren said seriously, "People are always going to die."

"so?"

"So there's no need to grieve over the dead."

Odin's pupils shrank slightly.

"I have to wait here for another 35 minutes." Warren exhaled slowly. "Wait until Lan's first communication time. Go back and rest first!"

"Then, see you tomorrow, Mr. President!" Odin left with a smile.

34 days later -

“准备精确空间折叠，舰队对接完成，能量调整完成，精确空间折叠10秒倒计时开始……10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1，开始！”

At the same time as the space folding started, all the screens turned into chaotic lines, and the Xiaguang fleet officially entered the annihilation time brought about by the space folding.

"I want to leave for a while. Odin, you will take over my command."

Warren explained and left the control cabin.Before the space folding, he received a call from Mirit, who hoped to spend this beautiful non-existent time alone with him.

Warren walked to the observation deck on the upper part of the spaceship.A long row of five-meter-high circular observation windows was a distorted starry sky. He couldn't identify any familiar constellations. In fact, no astronomer could do it.These oddly shaped stars don't exist anywhere in the real world.The strange thing is that no matter where the space folding starts, people on the spacecraft will see the same wonderful starry sky, but no one has ever seen another spaceship that is also undergoing space folding at the same time.Scientists even hand-drawn the pattern of this starry sky and compiled it into a "Non-Existent Starry Sky Illustrated Book".No one knows where this place is, because there has never been a spaceship stranded in annihilation time, and even if there are people on the spaceship, it is impossible to get in touch with the outside world.The wildest guess for this is that the ship passed through a world origin at some point in the past during the annihilation time.

"What a beautiful sight..." Warren walked up to Millet.His fiancée was wearing a long purple dress today, looking out of the lookout window with a sad expression.

"Yes. The miraculous scene of the origin of the world." Mirit pursed her lips, watching a huge meteorite rushing towards the Xiaguang, disappearing suddenly, and then reappearing in another direction.

After a while, she asked, "Warren, what do you think is the most valuable resource in the world?"

"It's hard to say." Warren smiled. "For me, there is no most valuable resource. Even cheap food is indispensable."

"Maybe..." Millet sighed, "But in my father's eyes, the most valuable resource in the universe is the deep space crystal."

Warren was slightly stunned: "I don't think anyone can refute this. Just a small deep-space crystal mine is enough to promote a planet to S-class."

"Yes, but deep space crystals are extremely difficult to find. They are too stable and do not exist on the surface or interior of planets. They do not emit light and hide in the dark universe. All current detection methods are ineffective against them .The only way we can spot them is to capture the angle of the ray when they release the anomalous ray. But this only lets us know that they lie on a certain line, unless a second anomalous ray is detected, we will never It is possible to know how far away they are from us. The probability of deep space crystals emitting anomalous rays is extremely low, and usually does not emit once in hundreds of years, which makes finding them even more impossible. But my father thinks, He can find the law of abnormal rays emitted by deep-space crystals."

Millet paused, and told a story about the past regardless of the hesitant expression on Warren's face.

"It was more than ten years ago. One of my father's subordinates captured an abnormal ray released by a deep-space crystal. He reported this to his father, and my father started the research on the abnormal ray. Those who knew about it at the time There were only three people, and besides my father and his staff, there was also a person whom my father trusted very much. Afterwards, although my father invested a lot of money, the research has been stuck in a bottleneck and has not been able to make any progress.”

"Until more than a year ago, my father succeeded in triggering the release of the second abnormal ray in an extremely accidental situation. Using the angle of the two rays, he finally calculated the undiscovered deep space crystal mine. He was very excited at the time and was eager to rush back to Bethel, but he was attacked by space pirates on the way."

"Father was shot in the head during this attack. He passed away in a coma for half a year after returning to Bethel. But this is only what we said to the outside world. The truth is that after the pirates boarded the ship, my father tried to prevent the pirates from Tortured to extract a confession, he destroyed his brain tissue. The pirates found that they could not get information from him, so they let him drift with the spaceship that had lost energy. When the local security forces found him, he was dying and his brain tissue was completely destroyed. But the pirates It never occurred to me that my father used a clever method to convey this matter to me."

"At that time, I hurried back from the pronuclear area, and I only had time to see my father for the last time. At that time, Uncle Schiller and I, who was the person who captured the abnormal ray, didn't understand how the news leaked. I plan to I found the deep space crystal mine and used the money to offer a reward to the pirates, but Uncle Schiller persuaded me to keep my face and look for the huge treasure under the condition of ensuring my own safety. I never dreamed that I should have been with my father Someone who died on that spaceship suddenly appeared beside one of my suitors, Jacques Rudick!"

"Although it was just a glimpse, I knew him very well. Just from the back, I could tell that the man was indeed him. I recalled that the bodies of all the crew members on the spaceship were burnt beyond recognition by hot weapons. At first I felt strange , Why did the pirates choose this weapon, and after restoring all the corpses, I found out that it was to hide the fact that someone is still alive!"

"It seems that this person revealed the news to the pirates, and he is now with Jacques Rudick. This makes me understand one thing. These people have never given up on searching for deep space crystal mines. First, from my From my father, and now from me! I want revenge, but the Rudick family is very powerful, and I don’t have enough evidence at hand. So the only thing I can do is to quietly find this deep space crystal mine, use This money does justice! Warren, maybe you already figured it out, I came to you for a reason."

"Is this deep space crystal mine near my territory?" Warren's mind was spinning fast.

"Yes, you are the closest developer to it. So I need you as my ally, and I am willing to share with you the wealth at your fingertips. Now that I have told everything, what about you, my dear fiance, your What's the decision?" Millet looked at Warren with burning eyes.

"You've got a solid ally." Warren smiled. "If you haven't lied to me."

The scene outside the observation window is gradually returning to normal, and the Xiaguang has finally escaped from the time of annihilation.The blue planet not far away is the beautiful planet that will soon be called the Red Capital, an urban planet belonging to Warren!
