    Chapter 52

    The two of them rummaged through other people’s dormitories together, just to find the brooch that seemed likely to be used for communication.

    “Would he really put such an important thing in the dormitory?” Lian Xu was deeply doubtful.

    “I don’t think so either.” Lan Yi said, “But A Jing said, the most dangerous place is the safest place.”

    “You’re quite obedient.”

    “Well, I listened to A Jing. There was a surprise attack on the ruined planet. The Prime Minister and I were too close and were affected. If A Jing hadn’t saved me in time, I would have been chased down the cliff and fell into a puddle of mud.”

    Lan Yi felt chills running down his back as he recalled the scene at that time.He was just a little short of being buried in a different place.

    Fortunately, someone persevered and risked his life to save him.

    “We are comrades-in-arms, and I will never allow you to die before me!” Qu Baijing’s words gave Lan Yi the greatest encouragement in a desperate situation.

    They are comrades-in-arms, and Qu Baijing is still struggling in a dangerous situation. If he gives up, their lives will be in vain.

    Qu Baijing saved his life and he should repay his kindness. As long as it didn’t violate the regulations, he could do whatever he was asked to do.

    This life is Qu Baijing’s life.

    After Lian Xu learned about the encounter between the two on the ruined planet, he couldn’t help but think that he and He Yu had survived in the same way at the base by relying on the hope given by each other.

    Suddenly I could understand Lan Yi’s thoughts.

    Lian Xu walked over and patted his shoulder: “Then don’t let A Jing down.”

    Lan Yi nodded: “That’s natural!”

    After saying that, the two continued to search.

    After a while, Lan Yi pulled out a button-sized red brooch from under the mattress.

    “Found it!”

    After getting the brooch, the pattern on it becomes clearer.Lan Yi looked at Lian Xu happily, it was indeed what he thought.

    “It’s the communicator!”

    Lakala is the barbarian army that invades the imperial planet. They are accustomed to using inconspicuous decorations as communication tools.

    Brooches are one of them.

    However, during combat, the brooch was too inconspicuous and could easily confuse the enemy as well as his own people, so Lian Xu had never seen such a communicator.

    He had only seen a crystal-like disc communicator clipped to his collar.

    Manxing’s technology is developing rapidly, and there are quite a few communication methods that the empire has never seen before.

    Even the empire is currently busy manufacturing starships, which are just ordinary combat weapons for the Barbarian Stars.

    “You actually know this?”

    “Yes!”

    “那你還知道其他的通訊工具麽?”

    “Know!”

    Lian Xu was surprised by the understanding shown by Lan Yi, a boy who was only seventeen years old.

    Even those who have personally experienced the war may not be able to accurately identify all the tools used by the Barbarian Stars for communication.

    But this young man could say the word “know” easily and confidently.

    Lian Xu suddenly fell silent.

    He didn’t know how to express his feelings at the moment.

    It is really shameful that a person who has experienced war does not know as much as a student who has just graduated from the Star Tower.

    He was silent, watching Lan Yi use the tools he carried to carve out the cuff-sized red brooch bit by bit. Even the symbols on it were restored one to one.

    Lian Xu held the two brooches in his hand and compared them, and found that he could not tell the difference between the two.

    Lan Yi pointed to the brooch on his right hand: “This is a replica.”

    “Is it because you did it?”

    Because I made it myself, I am familiar with it.

    However, Lan Yi shook his head, “My eyesight is ten times better than that of ordinary people, and I can see details that others cannot see. The one on your right hand is less worn, and the one on your left is slightly larger, because it is impossible to make every stripe the same as the one on the left by hand.”

    Lian Xu laughed: “Maybe you are more suitable to stay at the SCA base.”

    With the help of such talents, no matter what you build, you can get twice the result with half the effort.He couldn’t wait to tell He Yu and the commander the news.

    “Is this the place where military weapons are created?!” Lan Yi’s eyes lit up.

    “Not bad.”

    Lan Yi was only excited for a few seconds before returning to normal. The interest that had suddenly arisen seemed to have quietly disappeared in just a few seconds.

    “It would be an honor for me to play for the SCA base. But I prefer to maintain the status quo. I want to go to the battlefield.”

    In his eyes, the desire to go to the battlefield was no less than the excitement that suddenly arose just now.

    Not everyone will choose their field of expertise, but everyone insists on their choice.

    After a long time, Lian Xu held the left hand holding the real communication brooch and said calmly: “I respect your choice.”

    “But if one day you change your mind, you can come to me.”

    Lan Yi smiled: “Thank you, team leader, but I have already decided.”

    Lian Xu nodded.

    He left with the brooch and Lan Yi followed behind him.

    The replica brooch was stuffed back under the mattress.

    After walking out of Omega’s dormitory, Lian Xu pinched the small brooch, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.

    He stopped, looked at Beta who hadn’t gone far, and suddenly called him to stop him.

    “Lan Yi.”

    Lan Yi turned around after hearing the sound: “Do you have any other orders, company leader?”

    Lian Xu’s eyes darkened and he said seriously: “Fake brooches have no communication function and will still be discovered.”

    “Huh?” Lan Yi twitched his lips, “I’m sorry, team leader.”

    “You…” Lian Xu’s heart trembled.

    Only Lan Yi explained: “Ajing didn’t ask me to help him find anything. I took the photos.”

    “After returning from the ruined planet, I sent A Jing back to rest. I accidentally saw this thing and took a photo of it. I know who the person next to him is, but I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

    “Aren’t you afraid that he will be threatened by that Omega?”

    Hearing Lan Yi’s real answer, Lian Xu didn’t feel strange, but felt that this was normal.

    How could someone who was born on an Imperial planet and received Imperial education from childhood to adulthood know all about this technological method that has never been recorded?

    “I’m afraid, so I will solve it, don’t worry.” Lan Yi’s eyes seemed to be shining in the sun, “This brooch is my apology to you and the empire.”

    From him, Lian Xu saw unprecedented sincerity.

    From beginning to end, Lan Yi kept to himself and never did anything to harm the empire.Perhaps it was during this trip to the ruined planet that Qu Baijing saved his life and made him want to repent from the bottom of his heart.

    That’s why he didn’t hesitate to betray the original organization and give away the key tools used to contact the organization.

    “Don’t you know him?” Lian Xu asked.

    Lan Yi shook his head.

    “The organization has regulations that do not allow joint actions. Each of us is an independent individual and does not know each other. The communication tools are also different. He uses a brooch, and I… do not need to report anything about the empire.”

    連胥疑惑:“為什麽?”

    “My mission is to learn the empire’s combat methods, and when the war really comes, create the illusion of internal rebellion and make you disorganized.”

    “Everyone’s mission is different. He has a communicator. I think he should be reporting the situation. As for what aspect, you have to listen to it yourself.”

    Lan Yi told the truth everything he knew.

    聞言,連胥渾身發抖。I dare not think about how many such people are hidden in the empire, and how much information is spread out without them having any precautions.

    “You told me this, aren’t you going to go back and face the organization?”

    Lan Yi raised his eyebrows: “What if I want to be loyal to you?”

    From the moment he decided to find the brooch, he was prepared to never return to Barbarian Star again in this life.

    他效忠組織,組織卻不信他。

    “You know what I am good at, and you want to arrange for me to be in the most suitable place. Even if it is not out of sincerity, I am moved. But I have been in the organization since I was born, and the organization treats me like a dog. When you send me out, you also arrange for me to learn the things I am least good at.”

    “I’d rather I never joined the organization.”

    Lian Xu stepped forward and met Lan Yi’s eyes. His watery eyes looked at him seriously: “I sincerely want you to go to the SCA base.”

    “帝國需要你這樣的天才。”

    Lan Yi was stunned.

    With tears welling up in his eyes, he turned around and bit his lip: “I said I am willing to be loyal to you.”

    Lian Xu put his hand on his shoulder and said solemnly: “Lan Yi, welcome to join the empire and become an officer of the Star Tower Military Base.”

    “Thank you…thank you.”

    After all training and the last assessment are over, those who are finally selected to stay at the military base and go to the battlefield will be appointed as formal officers and awarded military ranks.

    連胥這句話,任命沒什麽區別。

    He has this right now.

    而他也認為,藍奕值得。

    “That’s good, you will become an official officer earlier than A Jing.”

    Lan Yi turned around: “Really? Then…it’s better not to do it.”

    He wanted to accept the appointment together with Qu Baijing.

    連胥笑了笑,果然小孩子心性。

    “Go ahead and train hard.”

    Lan Yi nodded, and after taking a few steps, he hurried back.Open the message that was shown to Lian Xu in the dormitory.

    “I’m not lying to you, it’s really A Jingfa’s fault. I told him that I wasn’t feeling well and wanted to come back and take a rest.”

    Lian Xu looked at it and said, “I know, let’s go.”

    The reason why Qu Baijing sent such a message to Lan Yi was because he knew that he was not avoiding training because of physical discomfort and would not punish him.

    But he was still worried about Lan Yi, after all, this person seemed very timid.So send him a message to give him some reassurance in advance.

    不曾想,不舒服都是裝的。

    When Lan Yi returned to the training ground, Qu Baijing was quite surprised and was concerned about his health.

    “I’m telling you, the instructor was really scary just now!”

    “Huh?” Lan Yi looked over curiously, “Why?”

    Qu Baijing waved his hand: “I don’t know!”

    “After the team leader left, he also followed. When he came back, his face was so disgusting!”

    Lan Yi: “…”

    Instructor He Yu went to find the company leader, and the company leader had been with him all the time, so there would be no misunderstanding.

    In fact, He Yu didn’t misunderstand anyone, it was just that he saw Lian Xu spending a lot of time on that Beta, which was a bit annoying.

    There was no place to reason, so he could only come back to the training ground and angrily scold the few students who secretly took a break and did not train properly.

    He had finished venting his anger, and now he was squatting in the corner, sending a message to Lian Xu.

    He Yu: [My wife, have you finished your work? When will you come back? I’m still waiting for you at the training ground.】

    Soon, Lian Xu returned a very polite smile.

    Meanwhile, the SCA base.

    Chaoyuan leaned against the assembly machine and glanced at where Lian Xu was.Omega looked at the light brain and smiled unconsciously.

    “What can make the company leader laugh so happily?”

    Lian Xu looked up at the speaker and shook his head: “It’s nothing.”

    “Is that so?” Chao Yuan smiled, “Come and take a look together?”

    The starship is basically completed, leaving only the final data detection process.It was never thought that the Empire would one day be able to fly starships on the battlefield, it was something that was out of reach for everyone.

    But in such an urgent environment, someone came up with it.還不止一艘,而是足足四艘。

    Each starship has a different appearance, and its operation methods and functions are not exactly the same. Instead, unique operations and functions are designed based on the appearance of the starship.

    Just like the platinum-gold starship that Lian Xu spotted at first glance, it was the smallest among the four and was certainly the lightest.

    As he was admiring it, he saw Shen Zaizhou coming down from above, with Alpha chattering beside him.

    “I’m just saying, it should be a little higher to maximize its kinetic energy! Otherwise, why would it be built? It should be used as a means of transportation!”

    Lian Xu took a step back: “Your Highness, Commander.”

    The two nodded slightly when they heard this.

    說話這人正是副指揮官,闌伽。

    As a royal aristocrat who was not too close to the emperor but still related to him, Langa had a very high prestige both in the command center and in the cabinet.

    認識他的人無不表現出尊敬。

    After all, he is related to the emperor. Whether it is from the bottom of his heart or flattery, in short, no one dares to denounce his highness.

    As a noble, Langa didn’t have any airs of arrogance and pride. He became good friends with everyone in the base, but he only liked to stick to the commander.

    Shen Zaizhou frowned in annoyance: “Noisy.”

    “Oh, my dear, just believe me, the higher value will definitely surprise you!”

    Shen Zaizhou glanced at him: “If the value is too high, the energy loss will be too fast. We have limited resources and it is not worth trying.”

    “Harmful! It’s not just resources, just do it again!”

    Shen Zaizhou did not respond, but silently turned his gaze to Lian Xu.

    Lian Xu trembled suddenly when he saw it.

    Is there anything about him involved?

    But he just wanted to see the starship and had no other intention.

    But…it would be better if we could go up and have a look.

    Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Zaizhou say in a cold voice: “The resources we are using now are exactly what Lian Xu brought back from Huangxing. The two of them almost never returned.”

    “Do you still find it easy?”

    闌伽深思片刻:“那确實……”

    Not very easy.

    The strength of Lian Xu and He Yu was obvious to all, and they both used such thrilling words as saying that they would never come back. It seemed that this trip was indeed not easy.

    But how could he remember that Desolate Star had been in a barren and desolate state a long time ago?

    Before he could think about it, Lian Xu said, “If resources are scarce, I can go there again.”

    He knows the exact location and has a good understanding of the situation there, so he can go back quickly.If you encounter any problems, we have experience to deal with them.

    But Shen Zaizhou did not agree to his proposal.

    “不需要,應付這場戰争足夠了。”

    Alpha swears by it and seems to know the outcome of this war.

    No, it should be a sure win.

    “Tomorrow, we will gather the students and plan the battle deployment.” Shen Zaizhou said, “It is also time for our weapons to find their owners.”

    Lian Xu nodded: “Okay.”

    “Go up and try it. It’s specially designed for you.”

    Hearing Shen Zaizhou’s words, Lian Xu was stunned.

    什麽叫專門為他設計的。

    Chaoyuan also smiled in congratulations: “This is your exclusive starship! You don’t know, this couple’s starship is too difficult to design. We could have completed it two weeks ago, so we just spent more time perfecting these two starships. But considering that it is designed for you, it is not unfair to spend more time.”

    Lian Xu never thought that he would also be able to get the right to pilot a starship, and he never thought that the starship he fell in love with at first glance would be specially built for him.

    At this moment, the blood all over his body was boiling, and his soul was drifting to nowhere.

    “Couple starship?” He was so excited that he didn’t quite hear whether Chaoyuan said these two words.

    “Yes!” Chaoyuan smiled playfully.

    Langa snorted lightly: “He is trying to make you happy.”

    “哦,好。”連胥輕聲。

    He knew that something as important as building a starship would never be a piece of cake.The aircraft can be made for couples, and it can also be used as a fun, starship thing…

    I dare not think about it.

    “There’s no difference at all!” Chaoyuan said, “Look at the color scheme, it looks like a couple’s model. The functions are complementary, and it’s completely designed for young couples!”

    Lian Xu: “…”

    He looked to the commander for help.

    “You and He Yu are in one boat each.”

    Lian Xu’s pupils suddenly dilated, it turned out to be true!

    Platinum and black gold, compared to the other two starships with rich colors and more complex shapes, they do look like a pair.

    Lian Xu smiled, boarded the starship and took the lead in simulating it.He couldn’t wait to see how the functions of the two starships complemented each other.

    Not only that, he also tried the other two starships.Each starship has a different function. When combined, it can attack and defend as a whole, and when divided, each has its own unique effects.

    The four drivers not only have outstanding personal abilities, but also have a high degree of tacit understanding, otherwise they will not be able to cooperate.

    Especially when the data of the four starships were gathered and intertwined on the control light screen to form a complete tactical network, a trace of wonder flashed in Lian Xu’s eyes.

    When your fingertips fall on the control interface, you can almost feel the arc of data flow.

    In addition, the data of each starship is interconnected. They can understand the status of their own foreign starships at any time and make timely adjustments.

    Such an amazing design is simply perfect!

    Lian Xu’s chest heaved and his heart beat violently.

    What kind of mind can design such an amazing weapon?

    Just when Lian Xu thought this was the peak, Chaoyuan introduced him to a kind of crystal that was fastened to the buttons of military uniforms, a holographic data memory, or “light curtain” for short.

    Use light waves to record all the information of an object and store it in a crystal in a three-dimensional form.By connecting the crystal that stores information to the holographic projection, the entire process can be recorded, just like a video playback.

    The difference between light curtains and videos is that light curtains are three-dimensional projections and are easy to carry.Just fasten it to the button and press the button on the side to record everything happening around you.

    In this way, anything that happens on the battlefield can be recorded.The holographic projection is transmitted back through technical means for people outside the battlefield to understand the situation.

    Lian Xu held the small light screen with his fingertips and was so surprised that he could not speak.

    This kind of technology may have surpassed Manxing.

    The SCA base has undergone earth-shaking changes in just two months, and all the credit for this comes from the two commanders.

    Even Chao Yuan, a man with a developed mind and currently the most technologically advanced person in the empire, screamed in shock after seeing the finished light curtain.

    I didn’t sleep for two days and two nights, just holding small things and looking back and forth.

    “Time is limited, there are only three, use them wisely.” Shen Zaizhou said, handing the only three light curtains to Lian Xu.

    Lian Xu and He Yu wanted to pilot a starship, so naturally they couldn’t use the light curtain.

    In other words, he wants to select three suitable candidates from the academy where he is currently training.

    He subconsciously thought of Lan Yi, the Beta with the most investigative ability.But Lan Yi only wants to fly a mecha, and I’m afraid he doesn’t want to be a scout.

    He had to discuss this matter with He Yu before making a decision.

    Lian Xu put away the light curtain, handed the found communicator to Shen Zaizhou, and told him the origin of the communicator from beginning to end.

    Shen Zaizhou glanced at the communicator briefly and put it away.

    The communicator was no longer important now. He knew that Lakala was quietly approaching the empire.

    The bugs lurking within the empire are crawling out of the dark corners one by one.

    “We will win, right?” This was the first time that Lian Xu faced the issue of winning or losing the war.

    In the past, his mind was filled with truth and revenge. He became an officer, a lieutenant general fighting to protect his teammates on the battlefield, and finally became the leader of the military team.

    Being blindly led by status and situation, I have always felt that I should do what is necessary to protect the empire and defeat the enemy as a matter of course.

    But he never thought about why he did this.

    Before coming to the empire, Lian Xu also gave himself a mission to find the truth and kill the damned people.If you can survive after doing this, you can leave the empire forever and live the life you want.

    But from the moment I met He Yu, everything changed.

    The thought of leaving the empire gradually faded from his mind, replaced by the desire to protect this planet and those poor and innocent people.

    These thoughts only came about because he remembered He Yu once said: “I love my hometown.”

    To this day, Lian Xu can’t understand whether what he insists on is protecting the empire for He Yu, or something else.

    He looked at Shen Zaizhou’s eyes, as if he was sinking into the deep sea, and a huge wave lifted him up from the bottom of the sea, carrying him towards the other shore that was completely different from his ideal.

    “What answer do you hope to get from me?” Shen Zaizhou asked.

    Lian Xu’s heart stopped, but slowly recovered after a second: “I…I don’t know.”

    “You know my purpose. I just want to find the truth. After the war broke out and I killed Yin Qian in chaos, I should leave as planned. Whether the war is won or not, I don’t care that much. But… I want to drive a starship and fight alongside him to see the dawn of victory. Becoming an outstanding officer who protects my homeland is my lifelong dream. But that’s also me… When I was on the waste planet, I lied to myself in order to submit a satisfactory answer to my father.”

    Lian Xu’s voice became lower and lower.

    He had lied to himself for so long that he couldn’t even remember why he became an officer.

    Shen Zaizhou looked at his confused look and remained silent for a moment.

    “Lian Xu, let me take you to a place. Maybe you can find the answer you want there.”

    Lian Xu was stunned.

    Say hello.

    Although he was the first to ask the question, he was a little uncomfortable with the commander’s sudden seriousness.

    The expression on Alpha’s face is always light, and his tone of voice does not change much when he speaks. There is not even any change in emotion.

    But when I heard this sentence at this moment, there was a subtle and almost imperceptible change in my mood compared to before.

    To Lian Xu, it sounded like a heavy, sad tone.

    He subconsciously glanced at his computer, which contained several messages from He Yu.

    Without exception, they always asked him where he was and when he would be back.

    Lian Xu quickly clicked a few times and told He Yu about the situation here.

    He Yu: [I’ll go find you.】

    “He told him…”

    “Let’s go together.”

    Shen Zaizhou interrupted him.

    Lian Xu nodded and waited for He Yu here.

    When Langa heard Shen Zaizhou say he was leaving, he immediately stuck to him: “My dear, won’t you invite me?”

    “It’s a boring thing. Your Highness should stay here and do the finishing work with Chaoyuan.”

    Langa curled his lips and rushed over with a sad look on his face: “I don’t want it! I want to follow you!”

    Although the man flew towards him, he was blocked by Shen Zaizhou’s raised arm.Alpha turned his head and said expressionlessly: “Since Your Highness doesn’t like the work here, it’s better to go back to the command center.”

    “What?!” Langa immediately hid away, “My dear, you are always so naughty. Of course I like the tasks you give me, and I can do whatever you ask me to do!”

    After speaking, Langa looked at Chaoyuan with a smile: “Team Leader Chaoyuan, let’s go see what else needs to be improved in the starship!”

    Chao Yuan suppressed a smile and followed him.

    “You and His Highness…” Lian Xu always felt that the atmosphere between the two people had an indescribable feeling, but he did not dare to make any guesses.

    Shen Zaizhou looked back: “His Highness is quite clingy. If you stay with him for a long time, he will also be clingy to you.”

    “Oh…that’s it.”

    I can’t believe that His Highness Langa has such a brat’s heart.

    The one in his family is also clingy, and I don’t know who is better between the two.

    But for now, it seems that His Highness Langa is quite careful about his propriety, and He Yu completely ignores other people’s eyes.

    Just as he was thinking about it, He Yu walked towards him.

    I don’t know what he was worried about. It took more than ten minutes to drive from the military base to the SCA base, but it only took He Yu five minutes.

    Judging from the way he was panting, it couldn’t be…

    “Did you run here?”

    “Aircraft.” He Yu said.

    It’s just that after getting off the aircraft, I ran here with my legs.

    Lian Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or praise him for coming so quickly, but he was flying an aircraft.

    Making a fuss out of a molehill.

    When Shen Zaizhou saw He Yu coming, he left without saying anything.

    The two followed immediately.

    Along the way, He Yu hugged Lian Xu and kept asking why Omega didn’t tell him when he came to the SCA base.

    Lian Xu patiently told him about the miracles he witnessed at the SCA base.

    He Yu was also shocked and looked at Shen Zaizhou.

    I didn’t expect that this commander really had two skills.

    But this is not the reason why Omega left him without reporting it.

    “Not allowed next time.” He Yu said.

    Lian Xu ignored him.

    Today, I just didn’t take action because of the commander’s face, but Alpha actually went online.To avoid being laughed at by outsiders, he kept this in mind.

    “We’re here.” It didn’t take long for several people to arrive at their destination.

    This is a residential area, but it’s chaos.

    Men, women, the elderly and children, some hugged each other and shared the meager food in their hands with each other, and some fought for a mouthful of water.

    Pheromones spread in the dirty air, and Lian Xu hurriedly covered his nose and mouth.

    Upon seeing this, He Yu immediately took the person into his arms and released pheromones to wrap around the Omega, as if forming an invisible protective shield to protect the Omega inside.

    “Shen Zaizhou, why did you bring us here?!”

    Note
