[BOOK 1] Qt : Nice To Meet You

chapter 98

It was night, and the whole family was sitting together chatting and laughing. Due to the absolute secrecy of "Dawn", except for Marshal Sheng who knew the inside story, the rest of them only thought that they had received an urgent mission on a temporary basis and were about to go on a business trip. The newlyweds had to leave home before their honeymoon, but they all expressed their understanding.

Especially the two mothers, they didn't know that the two sons were going to the same planet, and they were afraid that their relationship would be affected because they separated immediately after marriage, so they dragged them to talk a lot intentionally or unintentionally. Mrs. Sheng even mentioned that when she and Marshal Sheng first confirmed their relationship, Marshal Sheng ran to the barracks for training every three days and did not meet her. At first, she thought it was because Marshal Sheng didn't like her, and then she had a quarrel with him. It was only then that Marshal Sheng was so happy that he would get a nosebleed every time he saw him. He was afraid of affecting his wise and mighty image and refused to tell Mrs. Sheng, which led to this misunderstanding.

Marshal Sheng coughed as he heard it, Madam Sheng gave him a reproachful look, held the hands of the two children together, and said softly: "No matter how busy you are, you should take some time to come out and have a good talk. Say, don't be bored in your heart, you will inevitably misunderstand each other."

Even before signing the Taoist couple contract, Sheng Li and Xia Tian never misunderstood each other, but they both nodded seriously and said Well, that was Mrs. Sheng's painstaking efforts, and they were not willing to let her down.

The night was extremely uneventful. Many people who received the secret order to go to Haitang star chose to stay at home and stay with their relatives. They did not reveal a word about the "Dawn" plan. In the ordinary night, in the gentle and quiet night, the lights of thousands of households weave into a bright galaxy.

Early the next morning, these scholars left the house with a small space button and a head full of knowledge. They waved goodbye to their families, then turned their heads resolutely, and boarded the military headquarters to pick them up. vehicle.

Setting foot on the military ship again, Xia Tian felt very comfortable. The only regret was that it was not the 20th Army that escorted them this time. The Seventh Fleet of the 20th Army led by Sheng Li accompanied them as a garrison.

Xia Tian stood in the lounge and looked at the huge ship through the window. He used his memory to search for the lounge and the central control command room where Sheng Li was. Like the commander in chief, he is busy checking various data arrangements in the central control room, and he will give the order to set sail as soon as everything is ready.

After a while, a deep male voice came from the lounge: "The ship is about to set sail in one minute, the ship is about to set sail in one minute, and there may be vibrations in the ship's cabin when it sets sail. Please be prepared."

This broadcast sound As soon as it came out, Xia Tian's eyes widened in surprise. This voice was almost imprinted in his bones and blood. Isn't it the owner's voice?

"...Master." The

little fox murmured subconsciously. Seeing the slightly surprised expressions on the faces of the other scholars in the lounge, it was obviously the first time he heard this broadcast. He couldn't help but walk out of the lounge and ask The soldier guarding, "Hello, may I ask this broadcast..."

"Oh, is that the sailing broadcast just now? It was recorded by Commander Sheng of our 20th Army." The guard soldier was still very young. He just laughed and said: "Didn't Commander Sheng go to the Federation to pick up a group of scholars and foreign students last time? They seem not to be used to the shock when military ships set sail and pass through wormholes. The army commander communicated, and then personally recorded this audio for us to replace the previous broadcast—you also know how much our empire galaxy values ​​you now, and there is no disagreement between the armies."

Xia Tian couldn't help but think of the time when he was on the ship before , Sheng Li only said once that he wanted someone to change the broadcast in advance, and then there was no more, but in the future, whenever the ship vibrated, unless it was extremely urgent, Sheng Li would be by Xia Tian's side and would not do anything else. Just find all kinds of excuses to accompany him, or discuss some mecha-related issues with him, or ask him if he is still used to life on the ship recently.

The little fox was really greedy for the owner's silent gentleness hidden under the indifference, so he never mentioned that matter, and even began to look forward to the vibration of the space. Once this happened, he could lean on the owner's side as much as he wanted.

But he didn't expect that Sheng Li would actually do this for him. Xia Tian couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart. He had only been separated from his owner for a moment, and he couldn't help but want to run to him and hug him.

On the other ship, Sheng Li, who confirmed for the last time that all parties were correct and announced the departure, subconsciously turned his head and glanced out the window, as if he felt a slight fluctuation in the mood of his little fox just now.

But without Xia Tian's side, Sheng Li had no way of knowing why the other party's mood was aroused. He couldn't help stroking the jacket pocket of his uniform, and there was a slightly bulging ball, which contained a snow-white pompom made of little fox fur.

Although Begonia is a fringe planet that was discovered not long ago in the Imperial Galaxy, compared to returning to the Empire from the Federation, the trip to Begonia is obviously much shorter this time. Xia Tian and the others just took a nap and He was informed that he was about to land on Haitang Star.

Xia Tian stood on the landing platform with the other scholars. The landing platform under his feet was designed to be translucent, and when he lowered his head, he could create the illusion of standing on a cloud.

Looking from top to bottom, Begonia Star is just like its name. Except for the green that represents the vegetation coverage, the whole planet is almost covered in different shades of red. Looking around, the whole planet looks like a cluster of flowers blooming. The crabapple flowers are too beautiful to behold.

But in the eyes of this group of scholars, what makes them ecstatic is not the beautiful appearance of Begonia Star, but the meaning hidden under the red color—there are all kinds of rare metals and rock minerals that are indispensable for making mechs.

Seeing the looks of the seemingly polite scholars eager to jump from the sky immediately, the person in charge of the escort army hurriedly came forward to appease them, and assured them that they would land on Haitang immediately in less than two minutes, and those resources would definitely not be enough. The president's wings flew, and finally calmed down the commotion crowd.

But even so, there are still many scholars staring at the planet below with their eyes wide open. Several old professors even took out their glasses, and lay down almost completely on the translucent floor to look at the star Begonia. My old friends argued:

"The pink one, heavy tungsten ore, definitely heavy tungsten ore!"

"Old man Li, you haven't cleaned your glasses, right? How could it be heavy tungsten? If you ask me, it's more like lithium clay. That color is unmistakable!"

Amidst the endless debate among a group of old professors, the ship officially landed. Even before the lifting board was fully flattened, several professors wanted to jump directly. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding by the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and escorted them all off the ship.

The first batch of scholars stationed on Haitang star was only a few dozen people, and they also waited at the landing point together with the advance garrison to welcome this batch of professors and students.

Many of them are old acquaintances, and Xia Tian even met some old professors from the mecha department in his memory. Everyone was very emotional when they met, but they are all people who do actual scientific research work, and they only meet for two or three times. In this sentence, they quickly chatted about the current research progress of the Begonia Star Research Institute.

"You all know about the Boolean galaxy, right?"

"Yes, there are a few old guys who think it was released by the Boolean star. Tell me, can this technology be real?"

Seeing a group of scholars Standing in the open air, it looked like they were going to discuss the old days, and the accompanying assistant students hurriedly dragged away the old professors in their research rooms. The resources and minerals of Begonia Star are indeed very rich, but such resources are exchanged by extreme weather changes. Come on, to put it simply, once it is sunny, it must be the scorching sun, and once it rains, it will be pouring. Today is a sunny day, even if protective measures are taken, this group of professors cannot stay outside for too long, otherwise it will easily cause dehydration.

Xia Tian also had a lively conversation with his mentor. After all, he is a spirit fox after washing his tendons and cutting his marrow. His physique is naturally much stronger than ordinary people. It was only when he saw the bean-sized beads of sweat oozing from the old professor's forehead that he realized the weather at this time. Overheated, he quickly helped them walk to a cool resting place.

Because the first batch of people who voluntarily chose to come to Haitang Star were all research madmen who devoted themselves to scientific research. The construction department built a scientific research area according to their wishes. Scholars from different fields studied in different areas, and the dormitory was located in the research building. Inside, if it didn't affect the research, several professors would like to put their beds directly in front of the research bench, so that they could observe the progress of the experiment all the time even if they were sleeping and resting.

Such an almost crazy move would never happen in the Federation, and even apart from the Empire galaxy, there would not be any galaxy in the entire universe so crazy, but no one was puzzled by this—they worked a little more at the moment, maybe the research would be able to Pushing forward a little further, gathering sand into a tower, the empire's scientific research and weapons can always take a big step forward, and the empire does not need to fight and expand at that time, as long as it has enough ability to defend itself and counterattack when the enemy invades.

Since only this group of researchers are present in the entire Begonia Star, in order to protect them, the research area is closely connected with the military area where the troops stationed on Begonia Star are located. The collective arrived at the military area, and they were forming into formations to handover with the troops originally stationed.

Xia Tian was not submerged in the crowd. He looked dejectedly at the guards all around him who were taller than him. He had to stand on tiptoes and even jumped a bit before he saw the tall and straight Sheng Sheng in military uniform standing at the front of the queue. Li.

As soon as Xia Tian saw Sheng Li, he immediately felt at ease, but when he jumped up, he accidentally bumped into a girl who was also an international student next to him. Fearing that his skin would peel off, Xia Tian was taken aback, he immediately went up to support the other party, and apologized repeatedly with guilt.

"It's okay, I know you're looking at Commander Sheng." The girl smiled at him, her eyes fell on the tall stone tablet in front of her, and she couldn't help asking strangely, "What is that?" On the completely black meteorite tablet, there was only white stone on it

. The girl subconsciously read out the several numbers filled in the block, "7, 200 000 000, 4..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she suddenly covered her mouth.

An old professor who was walking in front of her stopped and looked up at the stele when she heard it, "Seven planets, 200 million innocent people..."

As his voice sounded, the entire team of advancing scholars stopped, and everyone agreed Said: "... 200 million innocent people, 40 elite troops, 23 generals who died for their country..."

These are all the indelible scars that the war that lasted for more than ten years has brought to the galaxy of the empire.

The enemy army retreated, and the rebel army was also driven out of the capital planet, but those who had been sleeping in the flames of war could never wake up again, because the damage was too great and the roster was scattered, and some people even couldn't even confirm their names. Just like the residents of those seven planets, they can only become one in 200 million of that cold.
