Meghan, the leader of the firing bay, was the solemn-faced woman I saw on the deck today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before Meghan arrived, her deputy had mentioned to her that a female bodyguard had been assigned to the firing cabin. She has also seen people, very young, full of vitality between her eyebrows and eyes, it is estimated that she has just entered this line and has not seen a big scene. That's not much of a problem, just go through it a few times. Being young also has the advantage of being young, and it is not like some external hires who claim to be masters, who are so conceited that no one challenges authority, which is quite worry-free. The team is just about being stable.

The firing capsule is boring, the enemy in space relies on various radars to monitor security, and only when the alarm sounds, the firing capsule will really get busy. Therefore, the norm of the staff on duty is to have nothing to do, but they also have to stay in their own positions, gossip is not allowed, and other instruments except for the safety bolt must be ready to be used at any time. After all, the firing bay is the first line of defense of the spaceship, and at the same time the most important outer line of defense. If you break through the outer defenses, you basically have to surrender and be captured.

Since she had nothing to do, Zhu Shanshan had just arrived, and she was not familiar with other people, so she had to sit obediently. The rest of the firing bay didn't bother when they saw her eyes empty, as if they were daydreaming.

In fact, Zhu Shanshan began to treat duty time as daily training time.

What to practice? Practice focus.

Concentrated concentration training without external disturbances has an extraordinary effect on people with mental traits. Ordinary people empty their heads every day and focus their attention on a certain point, which has great benefits for the cultivation of attention. Not to mention the extravagant eight-hour full-time continuous focus practice like Zhu Shanshan.

Training is very boring and lonely, Zhu Shanshan has been training for two days in a row, and on this day, she decided to try a new way, that is, the mental power that Madeleine learned from her is released. The fluctuating release of spiritual power without any difference is the release in a broad sense. If the mental power is concentrated on a certain point, such as a certain person, it is an outward release in the narrow sense. When a certain point is concentrated, the mental power comes with deliberate intensity and content, which is an invasion or even an attack.

Now Zhu Shanshan is trying to put her spiritual power into space outside the spaceship.

This is also a major advantage of the firing capsule, which is located in the outermost layer of the spaceship, separated from outer space by only a layer of transparent glass. The purpose is to allow the shooter to directly observe the mecha target with the naked eye, in addition to the target displayed by the radar and other monitors.

Zhu Shanshan didn't need to grope to release her spiritual power into space, avoiding the possibility of being discovered.

Space is very vast, and all kinds of stellar particles are constantly impacting space. The spaceship is also moving at high speed. Under such conditions, the spiritual power that is released at will is like a lit cigarette by the train window, burning rapidly. Zhu Shanshan felt that outer space was like a monster that couldn't eat enough, and it could swallow no amount of spiritual power!

Can't go on like this...... Although mental power cannot be measured and estimated in exact units, it does have limits. If she is allowed to destroy her mental fluctuations in outer space, she will weaken and die......

However, every time it was released, the spiritual power was still like a burst of light smoke, and it instantly drifted to an unknown place. It's the same as many times I've tried!

Zhu Shanshan doesn't believe in evil anymore. At the end of the day's shift, the first thing she did was to go to the virtual network equipment in the entertainment hall to check if anyone was facing the same problem as her. However, she found that the virtual network was only limited to the internal network of the spaceship, and there was no database of psychic traits. So she asked Xiao An, but Xiao An had no answer. Zhu Shanshan also found Gloria, who was busy in the mechanical maintenance department, and the result was the same: null.

Do you just give up?

The next day, Zhu Shanshan sat in front of the window, frowning. It was pitch black in outer space, and her own sad face was reflected in the glass window.

"What do you see? What does it look like a bitter hatred? Someone next to her tapped her on the shoulder.

Zhu Shanshan looked back. It's her roommate, Alimia, who is about the same age as her, but she's already a veteran sniper. Among Zhu Shanshan's roommates, only Alimia and her belong to the shooting capsule, and the others are crew members from other departments.

Alimia is a tall and slender black girl, who usually likes to tie up all her black curly hair, revealing a full forehead and a pair of beautiful big peach eyes. Her smile is very sunny and bright, but she is very quiet, and she usually doesn't like to talk much. Only when she is with her boyfriend will she chat and complain about it. Her boyfriend is a crew member in the weapons bay, and he is very capable and reliable. The aura that the two of them exude when they walk together is like no one else, and I don't know how many single Wangs have been killed in seconds.

"It's nothing, I can't figure it out when I think about something." Zhu Shanshan shook her head.

"What can't you figure out? Tell me about it? Alimia asked, lowering her voice. Small talk is not allowed in the firing cabin, but it is okay to talk a few words once in a while.

"How do you describe it?" Zhu Shanshan tried hard to describe the problem she encountered, without having to explain her characteristics to Alimia in the first place, "What if the wind is too strong and I want to let the smoke fill for a little longer?" ”

Alimia glared, "What the hell?" Since it is smoke, of course it will be blown away. Why do you want to diffuse it for a little longer? What is the purpose? Do you make stage effects? ”

“…… What is the purpose? Oh, for what purpose? I don't know very well......" Zhu Shanshan suddenly realized, "No wonder I can't figure it out!" Thank you! Alimia！ You've done a great favor! ”

“…… It's good to figure it out, don't get into the horns, you can come to me if you have difficulties. "This kid is so pitiful, isn't it a bad brain? Alimia patted Zhu Shanshan's head lightly and walked away.

Zhu Shanshan felt that she had gone astray.

In fact, Zhu Shanshan's original purpose was only to exercise her mental strength. But how can you use mental strength? She hadn't really thought about it. The mental power fluctuations in the atmosphere can detect the surrounding environment and quickly respond to unexpected situations. And what about in space? The same goes for reconnaissance. Since it's reconnaissance, you only need to find an anomaly or a target, and you don't have to be confused about why mental power fluctuations will be dispersed - mental power can have other forms in addition to fluctuations!

It is inevitable that the smoke will be dispersed into the air and blown away by the wind. However, when a laser shoots into the air, it is not hindered by the wind. The form and substance of the object are different, and the result is different.

So Zhu Shanshan began to change the direction of exercise. She turned the original wave release into a straight release that focused on one direction - and the effect was very different! The highly condensated spiritual power was no longer easily disturbed by the space rays, and it steadily probed out until Zhu Shanshan could no longer detect the limit distance. At this point, the directional problem is solved!

After finding a new direction of exercise, Zhu Shanshan devoted herself more to the application of spiritual traits in space.

The angle of the spiritual force that probes outward in one direction is limited, and its detection range depends on the condensed circumference of the spiritual force. The circumference of high-intensity stagnation has a limit, and in the vast cosmic space, it is necessary to detect a certain range in a certain direction, and it is impossible to spread the spiritual power, otherwise it will be the same as the fluctuation of the spiritual power, weakening the degree of condensation. At this time, you have to pile up. Mental power fluctuations are ineffective, so replace them with a large number of stagnant spirit beams!

Zhu Shanshan gradually increased the number of detection beams, while maintaining a separate and highly condensed state. From less than 10 bundles, to 50 bundles, to 100 bundles, the number is still growing day after day.

As for the distance, it is impossible to measure. Because so far, Zhu Shanshan has not encountered obstacles and foreign objects that can be used as a frame of reference, so there is no way to talk about the detection range.

Everyone in the firing chamber knew that the young shooter's hobby was to sit motionless for hours in front of the transparent glass window, staring out with his eyes blazing. No one knows how she survived, but this composure and patience undoubtedly injected a good atmosphere into the firing bay, and the rest of the crew sat still more than ever. The shooting cabin, which was already quieter than the lively and active departments such as the weapons cabin and the mecha cabin, has recently been like an old monk in a meditation, and even Meghan has to walk in lightly, lest they all pay attention to it. Being stared at intently by several snipers is uncomfortable for everyone.

After two days of exercising like this, Zhu Shanshan clearly felt the change in her mental characteristics. She is more sensitive to changes in the mental state of herself and those around her, and she can feel anyone who had insomnia last night or even just had a nightmare.

It was at this time that she made a new discovery.

――

On the sixth night of the spaceship, Zhu Shanshan was doing a routine exercise. On the plane of the vertical hull, at two o'clock, multiple detection beams encountered foreign objects, which were far away so Zhu Shanshan could not know whether they were intelligent creatures, but the foreign objects had the characteristics of living beings, and they vaguely felt the existence of mental activities.

Zhu Shanshan was startled, in that direction, the radar map did not show anything, and she was very confident that the range of the radar was definitely wider than her own detection. There's only one possibility, then—there's a creature lurking at two o'clock, and it's very close to the pending sign. The thought of a creature that I don't know if it was friend or foe was nearby, silent, Zhu Shanshan was terrified.

In order to grasp more information, Zhu Shanshan released a more dense detection beam in that direction, and expanded the detection range limit in an evenly distributed way. This time, the situation is clearer. There are a large number of creatures gathered at two o'clock, and their mental activity is extremely regular. Such a result still could not satisfy Zhu Shanshan. She couldn't report the enemy to the pending because the radar couldn't detect it, and it wasn't time to turn over her hole cards to the rest of the pending number.

Zhu Shanshan had no choice but to note down the location and time of appearance. That morning, when many of the people on the spaceship woke up to start a new day, she once again released a detection beam in that direction.

This time, she could finally be sure that the creature at two o'clock was an intelligent creature. Because one of the other parties was awakened by her detection beam, and then carried out self-protection in a short time, Zhu Shanshan could no longer detect the information of this target. Soon, the pair disappeared from that direction. Zhu Shanshan's heart sank. is also an intelligent creature, and Zhu Shanshan's side does not have an advantage in terms of numbers. Aircraft can be invisible, and they are technologically superior. The other party also has spiritual traits, and discovered Zhu Shanshan. In the vast space, Zhu Shanshan can't know whether the other party is leaving, or has she changed directions and continued to track?

This situation was so bad that Zhu Shanshan regretted it very much, why was she so reckless to release the detection beam? She finally has a deep understanding of the idiom of startling the snake.

At the dining table in the restaurant, Liang Ce and the four of them sat around to communicate the harvest of the week.

In addition to the news brought by Zhu Shanshan, others also made their own discoveries.

Liang Ce and Mike also belong to the mecha team, and what they found was that the bodyguards on the pending number were all of a good level. It's not clear where the strength is, but in the simulated battle within the mecha team on weekdays, when Mike didn't use his traits, several people won and lost each other.

To be reasonable, if the pilots are all of this level, why should the employer wronged himself in such a small spaceship? If you can afford to raise people, aren't you willing to live better?

And Gloria's discovery is also full of mysteries. During the voyage in the past few days, she secretly put the interception code in the database and secretly recorded the sailing route. Gloria compared the results with a large number of interstellar flight routes that had been prepared before, and found that, with rare exceptions, most of them were staggered from the flight routes—using the same route, but there were no other interstellar voyagers at the same time. In rare cases, it is likely that the actual flight has been temporarily changed. In other words, from its departure to the present, the Pending has sailed on a route that no one else has passed.

Although when the task was received, the external personnel knew that the route to be determined should be highly confidential. But how did such a wonderful route arrangement come about? What is the purpose? What is the sacredness of the employer?

In addition, Gloria and the members of the other two external teams also had initial contact - the mobile team members were all free to move 24 hours a day, with only one requirement, that is, to be on call - the mobile team personnel did not change the time difference of Aiden, so there were more opportunities for everyone to get together, and Gloria was able to contact both sides. Nine external hires and three teams, four people, three people and two people. The three-person team is three Jump Engineers, the two-person team is experienced weapon modifiers, and only the four of Liang Ce are a full-fledged team of melees, ranged snipers, and mechanical engineers. The external comrades also shared some information with Gloria, but it was not very valuable.

At least it is not as explosive as the news brought by Zhu Shanshan.

In the interstellar age, or since modern times, the control of rare information is often a symbol of power. Liang Ce and the others were thinking about how to disclose this information to the employer with the pending number. And how to reduce your own strength information? But most importantly, how can you use this information to get more benefits?

Zhu Shanshan originally wanted to suggest treating each other with sincerity, but in the news brought to her by others, it was obvious that the pending number did not spread things out to them. In the end, it was Liang Ce who made the decision, and he and Zhu Shanshan went to Don's lounge. The specific negotiations were led by Liang Ce, and Zhu Shanshan was improvised to the situation.

In other words, how much you want to reveal, Zhu Shanshan will do it herself.

So much pressure? She thought to herself. However, everyone seems to have begun to have confidence in her, and no longer coax beautiful things to her. Is that a sweet burden?
