Desperate

As soon as the sensitive infrared sensor of "Hemera" sensed the approach of a heat source, it automatically opened the top hatch to both sides. Zhou Pushen led Cen Lu into the submarine unimpeded. The door closed tightly again.

The ghostly black submarine once again dived into the depths of the sea without a sound.

Cen Lu's legs were still a little weak, but Zhou Pushen had already quickly untied the rope buckles around their waists for the two of them, and put away the deflated parachute meticulously.It's not easy to do this set of things, because even the "Hemera" equipped with the best conditions is very cramped inside the submarine.Cen Lu squinted his eyes and guessed that if he wanted to pass through the round hatch in front, even he would have to shrink his head and fold his arms to pass through.

The smell in the submarine was very unpleasant. The enclosed space was filled with the cold metal smell of machinery and the pungent smell of engine oil. Cen Lu lowered his head and sniffed his body, and immediately felt that there was nothing to dislike others.

But at this moment, it is obviously impossible to pass through the cabin door. A sturdy correspondent is standing in front of the door, with two thick arms on his hips, tightly blocking the passage that only one person can pass through. aisle.

Zhou Pu bent down deeply to help Cen Lu, Cen Lu smiled at him, indicating that he could walk, and pushed his hand away without leaving a trace.

A trace of loss that no one noticed flashed across Zhou Pushen's eyes, but he also withdrew his hand, walked up to the crew-shaved correspondent with Cen Lu, and explained in a loud voice: "Zhou Pushen of the Marine Corps Aviation Detachment. Under the order of Dou Huaiye, the Minister of Technology of the District, together with Professor Cen Lu, an expert from the Imperial University of Technology, started the numbered G07 mission in Hemera."

"Come here." The communication soldier's face was cold and expressionless, and when Zhou Pushen approached, he shook his search device very quickly at him, and Cen Lu only had time to see a red light flash on Zhou Pushen's face and neck , and saw the green light on the searcher light up.

"Mark confirmation. Second Lieutenant Zhou Pushen, serial number LU7300101, belongs to the elite Marine Corps and is temporarily under the Technical Headquarters. Please check the status." A cold mechanical female voice came out.

Surprise flashed across the correspondent's eyes, but he didn't say anything.He just turned to Cen Lu, handed him a tongue depressor, and softened his tone: "Professor Cen, please excuse me, we need your saliva to be sampled."

Cen Lu took the saliva and returned it to the young but quiet soldier.After receiving it, the correspondent took out a new tester from the military bag on his shoulder, dipped some saliva into the test tube of the tester.After a while, the same female voice sounded again: "DNA confirmation. Assistant Professor Cen Lu, A-level noble status, non-staff personnel, affiliated to the Department of Mathematics of Imperial Industrial University, and Nirvana..."

The female voice became hoarse for a moment, and made an irregular hissing sound as if it was malfunctioning. The correspondent didn't know what to do, so he had to pat the instrument in his hand, as if this would restore it to normal.

The instrument stopped talking.

Cen Lu frowned, and he felt pain again on the side of his head connected to the ear that had been damaged by the air pressure.

Zhou Pu stared deeply at Cen Lu's tightly knit brows, his eyes dimmed, and he looked at the correspondent to signal him to hurry up.

The correspondent shook the object in his hand again, and said to himself: "Anyway, there should be no problem after the identity check... These technicians don't know what they are doing." Randomly raised his eyes, his expression suddenly changed Softened, a smell of sunshine burst out from his body: "Instructor! Long time no see."

Even though he was still worried about Cen Lu's health, Zhou Pushen had no choice but to exchange pleasantries with his former subordinate when he saw his eagerness.He stretched out a hand and patted the other person's shoulder: "Look at Song, brat, I haven't seen you in a year, and I look pretty decent."

"Hey, our gang of stinky little soldiers, no matter how decent they are, they are no more handsome than the instructor." Meng Kansong's words were obviously flattering, but they didn't make people feel disgusted when they came out of Meng Kansong's mouth. Cen Lu felt that it was probably because The refreshing youthful breath on him.

Cen Lu had a terrible headache, he glanced at Zhou Pushen, and was surprised to find that he was reunited with an old friend at this moment, and he was in a rare good mood, even his dark eyes were shining with kindness.Cen Lu then shut up, wanting to let Zhou Pushen chat for a while.

"I'm relieved to see you come to the submarine as you wished, you boy, you still have two brushes."

"It's all good luck, and also, Instructor Zhou is good at teaching haha." Meng Wangsong dodged Zhou Pushen's hand that was reaching out to beat him, "Hey, captain, don't hit me, let's talk while walking." Come on, Professor Cen, this way please."

When the three of them stepped through the cabin door, Zhou Pushen still strangled Meng Kansong's neck with a chokehold, with a brisk gleam in his eyes.

Cen Lu wanted to divert his attention by talking, so as not to make his face look too pale: "Meng... This brother, brother Shen used to be your instructor?"

"Just ask me to look at Song." The young soldier smiled brightly at Cen Lu, "Yeah, don't look at the instructor who is not a few years older than me, he is much older than me in the army. Although the instructor is young, he is very young. ..."

"Cough, that's enough, let's take Professor Cen to familiarize himself with the equipment." Zhou Pu coughed lightly, and chose an angle that Cen Lu couldn't see, and threatened to look at the soldiers he had raised. Meng Wangsong was shivering, I thought that if I kept my mouth down, I would have to relive Zhou Pushen's sweeping legs when he was a recruit.

Hearing from the superiors that Second Lieutenant Zhou was withdrawn from the front line and had time to go to university for two years, his temper has improved a lot.Looking at it today...Meng Kansong took a sneak peek at Zhou Pushen who had already looked away, it was all rumors!rumor!

"Although our 'Hemera' has advanced equipment, the design of the ship is actually not complicated." Meng Kansong introduced to Cen Lu, ""There are four compartments in total, command compartment, reactor compartment, main engine compartment and auxiliary engine compartment , your active areas are mainly in the main and auxiliary engine rooms.The equipment for non-military launching operations is all in the auxiliary cabin, where there is a safe passage directly connected to the main cabin, and it can also go to the command cabin if necessary.If you want to go to the reactor compartment, you must first pass through the command cabin, so please apply to the captain's cabin first..."

Cen Lu nodded: "How long will it take to pass the application?"

"Your task level is very high, you should be able to pass it very quickly."

Cen Lu bowed his head and did not speak, but silently calculated the arrangements for the next month in his heart.If the soil samples can be collected, the subsequent experiments and calculations are nothing, but the initial launching operation is a bit difficult, he is not proficient in engineering, and the equipment from the Imperial Institute of Technology cannot guarantee that the equipment will continue to operate. I heard that the Imperial Institute of Technology provided him with I hired a technician, but I haven't seen the shadow of a technician until now...

Over there, Meng Wangsong's focus has shifted to non-work-related aspects: "Professor Cen, although our boat is crowded, the sparrow is small and well-equipped. Everything you need for a gym, laundry room, and canteen is in the main cabin. Especially... ..." As if to say something important secret, Meng Kansong leaned closer to Cen Lu's ear, "I want to please the cook in the cafeteria. After all, food determines the quality of life. If you make him happy, maybe I can give it to you." Open a small stove or something."

Zhou Pu looked deeply at Meng Kansong's mouth that was about to stick to Cen Lu's ear, and squinted his eyes, thinking that some people really didn't get a house for three days.

Meng Wangsong didn't realize it, and continued to chatter: "The captain attaches great importance to this mission, and also attaches great importance to you high-tech talents, so he arranged the dormitory with the best conditions for you, the kind of room for two."

Cen Lu stopped suddenly, almost tripping over a pipe protruding from nowhere: "A room between the two?"

"That's right," Meng Kansong thought that Cen Lu was very satisfied with this arrangement, and said as if asking for credit: "You and the instructor are in the same room, so that it is convenient for you to communicate and work, and the instructor has a good habit. I bet he is the one on this boat." The only one who sleeps without snoring!"

Cen Lu has been hiding in the bathroom by urinating for almost half an hour.Everywhere in the submarine was crowded, and the bathroom space was ridiculously small. Even so, Cen Lu also closed the compartment door tightly. Those who didn't know thought he had decided to suffocate himself in the toilet.

Cen Lu was tired from standing, so he put down the toilet cover, climbed onto the toilet cover, and squatted there thinking about life.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him. Something has been wrong since the helicopter. When he sees Zhou Pushen, he can't help but want to run. To be honest, wanting to run is a by-product of another emotion. His real thought is to see When I got to Zhou Pushen, I wanted to push him into my arms, the closer he got, the more comfortable he was, especially when I thought of Zhou Pushen's wet, black eyes like a puppy.But Cen Lu was afraid that if he really took action and really stretched out his hand to press Second Lieutenant Zhou on his body, according to Zhou Pushen's temper, he might just open his safety buckle and let him fall to his death from a height of [-] meters. Whole body.

Moreover, he covered his face depressedly, how could he not find himself so hungry/thirsty before.When he didn't hear that the two were going to live in one room, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his behavior towards Zhou Pushen, so he calmed down first when he came out.

What's the matter, Cen Lu stretched out an arm to cover his eyes, he didn't know whether it was out of embarrassment or self-comfort, two big men lived in one room, not in the same bed, it would be strange if he refused now.

Cen Lu squatted on the toilet for a while, until his legs were numb, and then resentfully pushed the door out of the bathroom.The door that was never intended to be opened hit a person's back so straight.

That bump was really hard, the small man staggered forward a few steps before he stood still, Cen Lu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention..."

"No, it's okay." The childish little soldier replied Cen Lu with a pale face while reaching out to touch his back that was hurt by the bump.Cen Lu looked at him apologetically. The man's round eyes occupied more than half of his slapped face. I don't know if the end of his eyes was red because of the pain. He was small, half a head shorter than Cen Lu. The whole person is as delicate as a girl.

Cen Lu saw the military bag he put aside and asked, "Are you squatting with me here?"

"No, I didn't squat on you on purpose..." The little soldier was startled, "Yes...it was Second Lieutenant Zhou who said you were not feeling well, so Brother Meng sent me to take a look at you...I am an orderly on the submarine, I It's called Hou Chunxie." After saying that, he was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he showed Cen Lu the number printed on his chest.

Cen Lu's face turned red and white, and he couldn't relax for a moment.I don't know if this kid heard the shameful words I squatted on the toilet seat just now.

Hou Chunxie saw Cen Lu's embarrassment, but she was so flustered that she didn't know what to say.So he simply changed the subject: "You are Professor Cen, right? The technician assigned to you came earlier, do you want to meet him?"

Cen Lu came to his senses, business is always important: "Did you see the technician?"

Hou Chunxie smiled innocently: "It's not just seeing you, it's a blessing to you, Brother Meng arranged for me to take care of trivial matters for you, and I will live in the same room with the technician now. This is the first time I have lived in the submarine since I got on the submarine." Such a luxurious room."

Seeing the sincere joy and gratitude on the round face of the little orderly, Cen Lu thought of his own group of childish students, and involuntarily smiled at Hou Chunxie, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly eased. Quite a lot.

When Hou Chunxie saw Cen Lu laughing, he immediately put down a big stone in his heart. It seems that this master is much easier to serve than the technician.Hou Chunxie also grinned, put on the military bag and said to Cen Lu, "Professor Cen, I'll take you to the technician's room."
