Chapter 35: A Good Boat's Night Talk (I)
Joker is a good ship, a good boat. Although the speed www.biquge.info is not as fast as that of Karejas, and the firepower armor is not as good as that of Patanguai, it has one thing that all the ships of the entire continent are not comparable to - artificial intelligence.
Based on the intelligent program derived from the personality of "Patil Martier", it has been improved by two masters, Yoguru and Selesty, and the artificial intelligence tailored for this good ship. It can realize high-intelligence all-weather unmanned operation, and can also realize spiritual connection with the owner within hundreds of moments. Of course, this spiritual link is just like remote calls and giving instructions, and large-scale data exchange and processing like Ling and "Patil Martier" cannot be done by Rie, and his brain will be directly overloaded and burned.
While Selesty says she should be able to handle it, she must rely on Lane as an output and input port. To use a figurative analogy, a state-of-the-art quantum computer with a small 2m water pipe can exert how much performance it can play? Selesty is a quantum computer, and Riene's body is a 2m small water pipe, so Selesty's computing power is vacant most of the time.
It's far away, let's get down to business. Most of the time, Joker doesn't need to be manipulated at all, and the most important person on the Lyle team assigned to Joker is not to drive the boat, but to do maintenance for Joker, and only in special circumstances will these "old drivers" be needed to drive the boat - such as crossing the defense zone of the Confederate army.
Crossing enemy defenses tests not only the crew's skills, but also their physical strength and spirit, and the pressure of encountering the enemy at any moment will exacerbate the physical exertion. Even if Lyle and the others have the experience of being air thieves and regular army hide-and-seek, and from time to time with Joker to tease the Empire, the Republic, and the Liber Air Force, it is still a little unbearable after a long time. If it's not a particularly urgent task, Lyle will generally choose a detour.
Unfortunately, from the vicinity of the Garelian Fortress to the Nolde Plateau, no matter how you choose the route, you have to pass through several enemy defense areas, but today "Shuanglong Bridge" has spread the news of the defeat of the Leader Army, which has attracted the Leader Army to raise the security level, and Joker's northward journey is destined to be fearful.
Fortunately, the people on the ship, except for Elfin and Elyse, are either from military schools or the elite of the guerrillas, and can share the pressure of the Lyle's team.
Under Lane's arrangement, everyone was divided into three four-hour shifts, which was exactly the time Joker expected to sail. The five-member Lyle team broke up to ensure that there were veteran drivers in every shift. Lyle, who has the best sailing skills, leads the class, leading three seasoned elites, Rien, Claire and Tovar, to serve as the middle and most dangerous class.
Lyle is in charge of the steer, Tovar is in charge of radar, Dawn is in charge of lookout, and Clea is in charge of intelligence processing, and the four of them have their own duties, although it is the first time to work together, the cooperation is quite good.
Pay attention to Lee's duties, lookout - there is no doubt that Semuria's tech tree is once again crooked, with artificial intelligence and high-performance computers, but the performance of radar is only at the level of World War II on Earth, so whether it is the Air Force, the Army, or the Navy that does not know whether it exists, needs a special person to watch and observe.
Li En carries the inheritance of "Eight Leaves and One Knife Stream", has the ability of wide-area perception, and understands the law of "connection", it is not an exaggeration to call it a humanoid radar, and he recognized the second in terms of observation, and Gaius's father Ragan may not dare to admit the first.
It was with his abilities that Joker evaded the detection of the Confederate army several times by changing the color of the guard, hiding in the clouds, levitating at low altitudes, and even landing directly.
"Riene, it's time, you go and rest." Macchias's voice came from below, it was time for a shift change - don't get me wrong, Macchias was highly short-sighted and couldn't act as a lookout, and his position was the same as that of Clea, and the ship's communications were also under his control.
"Roger." Lane covered the lookout and climbed down the ladder to gently hug Yaniras, who was waiting on the side. This Nizi is the same as Li En, who is a descendant of the eight leaves,
"Come on, I'll leave my safety to you."
"Hmmm! Yanie must come on. Yani nodded heavily and smiled.
"Stop giggling, go up there."
"Well, good night, Lane."
"Good night." Rubbing the big bow on Yani's head, Rien turned to leave.
At the entrance to the corridor in the living quarters, Rien saw Clea, in the direction of the deck.
Lane glanced at his pocket watch, 2 a.m.
"Going to the deck at this time?"
After thinking about it, Rien followed.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Joker's registered use with the air traffic control department is cargo in nature, so the deck area is not large and the design is very ordinary.
Sturdy floors, cold railings, and nothing else.
In the early hours of the morning, high in the air, sneaking, the airship did not turn on any lights, but it was not so dark on the deck. The bright moon and the twinkling stars shine together, bringing light to the deck and a light veil for Joker.
Claire walked straight to the bow of the boat, her pale golden eyes scanning the sea of clouds around her without focus, and the strength that accompanied her cold temperament quietly faded, revealing a trace of hesitation and helplessness in her heart.
"Aren't you going to rest?" A soft voice rang out behind Clea, close at hand.
"Ryne... I didn't feel sleepy, and came out to blow the wind. Clea turned her head to look at the boy who had made her feel inexplicably close. I don't know if it was because she was too tired from a busy day or because she was not wary of him, she didn't notice his arrival.
Looking at the mountains upstairs, looking at the snow at the head of the city, looking at the moon in front of the lamp, looking at the glow in the boat, looking at the beauty under the moon, and another kind of fun - this is a famous sentence said by a sage on the earth, which is regarded as a classic by countless people. Li En felt that his realm was not enough, and he couldn't comprehend the essence of the first four, only "seeing the beauty under the moon" he thought it was true.
In his heart, the beauty under the moon is the most Lixia, who has the title of "Silver Moon Princess", and no one can match her. But at this moment, Li En's mind changed, even if the "Ice Maiden" under the stars and moon was not as good as Lixia, who was transcendent in the theory of "Silver Moon", it would not be much different.
This beauty is of course related to the hazy beauty of the night and the moonlight, but it is more due to the weakness and self-suppressed sadness that Crea exudes.
Without that layer of ice that rejects people thousands of miles away, without the strength wrapped outside the military uniform, the current Claire is not the "Ice Maiden" who is powerful and respected by the reformers and feared by the aristocracy, and now she is just a girl who has a heart full of things but no one to tell.
Although Lane admired the heroic gendarmerie captain, he preferred the current Claire because it was real, because it was within reach.
"Do you have something on your mind?" Ryne walked over to Claire and stood side by side with her, literally. Claire is already tall, and the leather boots on her feet are also quite tall, not much different from Lane, who is neither tall nor short.
"Well, you've got something on your mind." Instead of giving Clea a chance to answer, Lane gave herself the answer.
β...... How could you talk like that? Claire smiled dumbly.
"Aren't you seeing it now? Hehe, just kidding, don't mind, actually I did it on purpose. β
"Why?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lie." Rien blinked, his expression the same as he had at the Night Sacrifice.
"Listen to the lies first, then the truth." The corners of Kreya's mouth curled, and the answer was exactly the same.
"Lie is that I think this is more handsome, and I can take a sentence, I am me, different fireworks, isn't it very stylish?" In order to match the handsome tone, Li En also specially put on a classic pose of Augua.
"It's very stylish, but what about the truth?"
"The truth is that I don't think you will admit it, and even if you do, you will not say it." Li En smiled and said, "Because of your gentleness, you have been supporting us behind us in the past internships, and this time is the same." You feel like a sister to me, so gentle that I almost forget that you are the captain of the "Railway Gendarmerie" and your status as "Iron Blood". β
"I really don't dare to do it." Claire shook her head slightly, "Because I also graduated from the Military Academy, I care about you no matter what." I guess I just want to get away with the breeze of my senpai. β
"Let it be so." Li En knew that Claire was not telling the truth, and she also knew that she saw the shadow of the prime minister in herself, "How can a senior sister who wants to be majestic tell her junior brother what is on her mind?" β
"Thisβ" Krea was speechless.
"Even though I only have a sister, if I have an older sister, that's probably how it feels."
"Think of me as your sister if you want." Hell, Claire uttered the words, a thought hidden in her subconscious, that she had never even been aware of.
"Sister... Is it? Li En closed his eyes, and the smiling face of the cousin in his previous life appeared in his mind, although the personality was completely different, but this feeling was really good, "Sister! β
βοΌβ Claire shuddered and replied in a low voice.
"Sister."
"Hmm."
"Sister!"
"Hmm."
......
Every time Rien repeated, Clea's answer became smoother, and Rie called a dozen times in a row, and Claire did not have the slightest impatience.
"Sister." Riene called out again, "Sister Claire must be a good sister, but I won't be a good brother, I'm going to get to my sister's heart." If you don't tell me, I'll keep annoying you, annoying you, annoying you! Buzzing like a fly, Bichon, Miriam's girl is far worse than I was. β
"Oh?" Claire was smiling, her beautiful eyes staring at Rien without blinking.
"Sister~ don't bring this." With a girlfriend like Yani, how can Li En not be coquettish and cute?
Although Lane is not as cute as Yani in "The Moe Lord", Claire really eats this set.
"Well, for your sake of being so sincere, I'll give you a chance, and I'll tell you if I guess."
"I'll think about it." Lane held his chin in his hand and pretended to be thoughtful. In fact, there is no need to guess at all, the sadness that flashed in Clea's eyes has already revealed the answer-
"It's about Prime Minister Osborne."
Clea nodded, letting the sadness creep in her eyes. Now that he has seen it, there is no need to hide it.
"I don't know what it means to anyone else, but Your Excellency, Your Excellency Osborne is not only a boss, not only someone to follow, but also a relative, a father. It was he who taught me what family is, what the warmth of home is, and it was he who discovered my talents. It can be said that without Your Excellency, there would be no Clea Levitt... Hehe, Levitt, Levitt. β
Two "Levitt", two tones, two complex thoughts.
It was these two "Levitt" that made Rien sure that Claire must be related to the most famous instrument manufacturer in the empire, the "Levitt Company".
"I thought I would always follow Your Excellency, assist him, and watch him bring a whole new dimension to the Empire... Unexpectedly... Excellency... Your Excellency..."
Claire lowered her head, her voice getting lower and lower, she did not shed tears, for Your Excellency had said that tears would not change anything, and that she would follow his teachings even if Your Excellency was gone.
"If you don't dislike it, I can borrow your shoulder to lean on." Rien patted Claire on the shoulder, and then on her own.
"I kind of understand why you like girls so much." Claire raised her head and glanced at Rien, then lowered her head again, buried her face in Rien's shoulder, and said softly, "But this time I thank you for your kindness, borrow me to lean on." β
A lot of times it's like this, with a shoulder to lean on, someone to talk to, the mood will be much better, and there will be the motivation to work again.
"Sister."
"Huh?"
"I don't think Prime Minister Osborne is dead."
"Do you know about the disappearance of your body?" After the Prime Minister was sniped, the Guards secured the Prime Minister's body, but the body did not know when it disappeared - Claire was referring to this incident, "Although I don't know what the reason is, the location of Your Excellency's shot is the heart... I don't want to admit it, but..."
"No, I don't mean it, butβ" Perhaps Claire's weak appearance was too pitiful, and Dawn decided to tell her something, "His Excellency the Prime Minister had known the night before that someone was going to snipe him in public statement. β
"What did you say!" Claire raised her head suddenly, and pressed her hands firmly on Rien's shoulders, "No, it can't be, neither the Intelligence Bureau nor the Railway Gendarmerie predicted... How could Your Excellency? Could it be... He? So, are you like me..."
A strange thought popped up in Claire's mind, and she couldn't control it. The world thinks that she is the leader of "Iron Blooded Child", but in fact, the leader of "Iron Blooded Child" is someone else, but except for the prime minister, no one knows the identity of that person.
Could it be that Rien is the "leader", no wonder it makes her feel close.
