Chapter 17: Accidents

Just focusing on Sune's affairs, Shang Si really didn't bother to have dinner, and now his regular biological clock is already alarming.

So he nodded and agreed to Sune's invitation.

On the map of the ship's interior provided by the Dodo, the restaurant and guest rooms are in the same area, and it takes only five minutes to get out of Shansi's room.

The restaurant was not large, and it could not be compared to the spaceships built in the last ten years, and the simple tables and chairs and even more rudimentary electronic menus made Shang Si worry about how to continue the next few days of travel.

Su Ne, who was holding the electronic menu and wanted to ask Shang Si what he needed to order, was also very embarrassed on his face.

The passenger ship he had ridden in the past would usually have at least one chef on board, but the only one on the Dodo was set A, B, and C...... This monotonous and standardized food is always the least popular, but it's also very inexpensive.

Shang Si quietly looked at the menu from beginning to end, and then looked to the side, only to believe that there was indeed no artificial chef here. So he picked a random package and pressed the confirmation button.

As soon as he put down the menu, he saw that Su Ne on the other side also put down the menu in a panic. Shang Si was sure that the person on the other side probably didn't even know what he had just ordered.

Is he that scary? Shang Si thought to himself. If you are so afraid of him, why force yourself to come to him.

was thinking wildly, and the little animal opposite trembled and opened his mouth: "Classmate Shang......"

Shang Si directly interrupted him: "Call him directly." ”

Su Ne was entangled, now that they have graduated, it is inappropriate to call his classmates, but he can't call them by name directly.

"Shang ...... Captain ......"

Sune thought for a long time and made a decision.

Still...... Captain?

That's a bit ahead of its time. Shang Thought.

He was assigned to a squad in the Anxing Provincial Border Army as a captain, and Sune had become his subordinate because of his follower, so it was not wrong to call him captain. But he didn't officially make the handover.

"It's not appropriate." Shang Si said directly.

Su Ne unconsciously bit his lower lip, he should call Shang Si's military rank, but he really didn't want to call Shang Sishang Lieutenant.

Students who graduate from Curran Military Academy are awarded the rank of captain, why is Shang Si a lieutenant? He is obviously the best student in this class!

said that there was no problem in this, but he Su Ne absolutely didn't believe it!

Su Ne kept silent, and Shang Si knew that this person was stubborn again. Obviously a person who looks very gentle, how can he have such a stubborn personality.

He was not angry when he was put in small shoes and demoted in rank, but he was upset for him. If Sune could have been so tough when he was bullied, how much less worry could he have ......

Until the package was delivered to the table, Su Ne still refused to speak, Shang Si had no choice but to compromise: "It's up to you." ”

……

Navigating the universe for a long time is a boring thing, and the vast starry sky outside the window may feel new at first, but the unchanging scenery will become boring sooner or later.

If those large passenger spaceships are okay, the entertainment facilities specially prepared for guests can always relieve people's boredom, and in the hot route area, the signal of the star network is also very good, and it is a good way to pass the time if you are really bored and wander around the Internet.

However, none of the above-mentioned ones are available on the Dodo.

First of all, it is a ship with a mixture of passengers and cargo, and most of the space is given to cargo, leaving a very small space for passengers. Secondly, he built the ship fifty years ago, and it seems that the owner of the ship has not bothered to update its equipment. As a result, the entertainment facilities of this spaceship are rudimentary. Finally, and the most maddening point, this spaceship is heading for that impoverished Anxing Province, and most of the distance will be completed on a very remote route, where the signal difference of the star network is enough to make some homestays who rely on the star network want to die.

To sum up, the five words of boring, lonely and cold can completely sum up this journey.

But among the boring, lonely and cold people, Shang Si is definitely not included.

In his light brain, there are still piles of books that he needs to learn, after all, the longer the history of mankind, the more wisdom crystallization is produced. Under the pressure of the early stage of the system, Shangsi finally developed a good habit of reading frequently.

In the past few days, in addition to going to the old fitness room on the spaceship to exercise, Shang Si is studying in the guest room, and even the food is directly ordered and delivered to the guest room.

And Sune didn't look for him again except for the first day of dinner, but when he went to the gym, he occasionally met Sune.

This voyage was smooth all the way, and there were no sudden cosmic disasters, so even if the Dodo was slow, they reached the edge of An Sing Province.

An Sing Xing Province used to have a brief period of glory, but now it can be regarded as a drag on Shengyue's economic growth. Not to mention taxes, every year when he sees officials from Anxing Province who come to attend the annual meeting in the capital star, Sheng Yue's chief economic officer has to tremble in his heart: But don't come to apply for relief funds......

Fortunately, Anxing is poor and poor with dignity, and when he can get by, he didn't think about cheating relief money to live.

Shang Si didn't have much idea about the poverty of An Sing Xing Province at first, the overall economic situation of the place where he used to live with his adoptive father was good, and later he went to school at the Curran Military Academy, so he didn't go to many places.

So when the Dodo spacecraft first arrived at the border of Anxing Province, Shang Sizai thought that the artificial celestial object he saw in the window was a waste from decades ago.

Just when Shang Si wondered why no one had come to clean up this scrapped celestial object, whether it was a monument of historical significance, he found that the Dodo was docked with the scrapped celestial object......

This thing still works?!

Shang Si's paralyzed face twitched a little.

No matter how much Shang Si didn't want to believe it, the radio on the Dodo loudly told the passengers that this scrapped celestial body was the border supply point of An Sing Xing Province. Shang Si sighed in his heart, the mental preparation he made before he came was still not enough......

Then the Dodo began its long voyage again. Since it is a mixed passenger and cargo ship, and it is mainly cargo, the Dodo naturally chooses the route of the priority cargo location, so the passengers on the Dodo will be placed at a supply point with a passenger spaceship, allowing passengers to transfer on their own. Anyway, I'm already in the interior of Anxing Province, and it won't waste much time to transfer to other spaceships.

Therefore, the route of the Dodo does not pass through the central part of An Sing Province, but always flies at the border of An Sing Province.

This was good news for Shansi, because the supply point where the Dodo had decided to stay was close to the outpost of the squad where Shansi had been appointed, and someone would come to pick him up and Sune when they arrived. (Because there is no spaceship to go to the border army outpost area, someone must come to pick it up)

But just when Shang Si thought that this trip was about to end like this, an unexpected appearance broke the peace of a boatload of people.

The Zerg, who had not been seen in years, appeared in front of the Dodo.

In fact, when the Zerg was still some distance away from the Dodo, the radar on the Dodo had already detected a suspicious object and issued an alarm. But who made the Zerg already considered extinct by some people? So the officer on duty on the Dodo rashly judged that it was a small meteorite with a chaotic orbit, and anyway, it couldn't penetrate the protective shield of the Dodo, so he directly turned off the alarm.

This also directly wasted the best chance of the Dodo's escape.

It wasn't until this Zerg appeared in a place where the Dodo spaceship was visible to the naked eye that the control personnel on the ship were directly dumbfounded.

Then, it was the first impact of the Zerg.

When the sirens sounded over the Dodo, many passengers did not know what was happening. People who have only seen scattered Zerg exterminated in the media for nearly fifty years will only think about sudden disasters.

Could it be that the Dodo was attacked by a meteorite swarm that suddenly changed its orbit?

Sure enough, the announcement on the spacecraft informed the passengers that the Dodo had accidentally encountered a small group of meteorites, and asked the passengers not to panic.

The already flustered passengers on the ship were soothed by the announcement. It's just a matter of encountering a group of small meteorites, and the shields of the spacecraft are not comparable to those that have just entered the universe era, and there is no problem at all in carrying the impact of a group of small meteorites.

At the time of the impact, Shang Si was reading a book in his room. When he heard the broadcast, he still complained about the dodo's shield: he thought that only an antique spaceship of a hundred years ago would shake under the impact of a small meteorite.

However, the successive impacts gave Shangsi a sense of crisis.

It's not right.

Even if there are a few big guys in a small meteorite swarm, the Dodo is equipped with cannons on the Richter scale that can shatter them. Although Shang Si felt that the cannon could really be eliminated, it was no problem to hit a few large meteorites.

So what happened to these several impacts that caused the Dodo to vibrate significantly?

Just as Shang Si was thinking, another impact came, this time more violently than the previous ones, and the Dodo shook so hard that it shook the teacups on his table to the ground.

Looking at the tea all over the floor, Shang thought about something and stood up suddenly.

This is definitely not the impact of a small meteorite swarm, the captain of the Dodo is lying.

He's going out to see what's going on.

Shang Si, who looked solemn, opened the door of the guest room, but suddenly thought of something. He strode to Sunne's door and rang the bell.

Seeing Sune open the door, he looked at him with some surprise, but Shang Si didn't have time to explain more to him.

"Keep up!"

Shang Si turned and left.
