Chapter 55: Cruiser Glow (2)
After completing the security check on the ship, Doroniel was assigned to the VIP area, which was emptied. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Compared with Her Royal Highness the Princess, other "VIPs" can only go to the ordinary area.
A few guards dutifully stood in the four corners of the room, while the lieutenant colonel temporarily left the VIP area, with many things waiting for him to deal with.
Phoenix had gone to another cabin and was comforted a little, and she should be in a better mood.
Only Lei Fei sat on the sofa in the middle very casually, looking at the tea set in the middle of the coffee table, this kind of Chinese tea set, although she had heard of it, but unfortunately she had never seen the real thing.
Doroniel looked at her interested, thought it was funny, and turned to look at Barrett.
With her status, she naturally can't make tea herself, especially in front of a royal daughter of another race, but she doesn't know if Barrett will be able to do this craft.
He felt her gaze, followed her gaze to the tea set, smiled, understood.
Pulling Doronil to sit opposite Lefy, he reached out and took the diao (four tones), boiled it with water, and explained as he boiled it.
"It's best to use spring water, but it's hard to pay attention to this now, so just use ordinary natural water."
"The first time the water boils, you have to pour it out, because the smoke is too heavy." Stretched out his hand to pull open the fire box, and put two pieces of longan charcoal in the red peat stove, which are all prepared and ready to be used at any time.
When the water boils, it is poured into the water back under the tea set, trickling water, steaming and steaming, but it is a bit of artistic conception.
"The second pot still doesn't work, I'll have to wait."
Then it came down.
"This third pot is boiling, and we have to test the water, what? Feeling thirsty? ”
Seeing Doroniel nod, he laughed.
"Just wait a minute, originally the boiling water is boiled water, the sencha is sencha, you have to pour water and then boil, since you are thirsty, let's avoid it, and the things here can't be exquisite."
After a while, the water boiled, reached out and took the sand cho and poured out less than half a cup to try, it felt just right, added a few teaspoons of tea and boiled.
"How do you do this? I remember that the Naval Academy drank all black tea, right? ”
Doroniel was a little strange, originally afraid that he wouldn't, who knew that he was quite particular about his eyes and eyes, as if he often drank tea.
"When I was in the southern district, I had a friend who was a master of tea, and I always drank him, and it will be over time."
looked at the tea set, and did not prepare tea fruit, Barrett shook his head, sure enough, this year, the culture has passed greatly, and many things are just a surface. Fortunately, there is no electric heating, otherwise I am afraid that even the taste of tea will become unpleasant.
Soon it was almost ready, and I reached out and took the tea cup back to the water, and the tea that had just been boiled was just enough to warm it.
"That's a wonderful person, I can recite poems when I make tea, but unfortunately I can't remember this head. The descendants of the Chinese are very particular about cultural inheritance, and we people are far behind. ”
Just poured a small cup of tea, this tea tastes more bitter---- compared to the black tea they often drink.
"Then you have to take me there then, aren't you going to see your comrades-in-arms, and I will go with you. By the way, look at the person you are talking about. ”
Doroniel has a good memory, and she still remembers him.
Lei Fei didn't speak, just quietly watched him fiddle with these things, until he saw him hand the teacup to himself, and then said, "It's so complicated, do you have to go through so many procedures to drink water?" We just had the priests pray for it. ”
"This is something that no one pays attention to now, you must know that there were sixteen kinds of tools for drinking tea alone. You can learn to bring it back to Nala and teach them. ”
I don't ask them what they think tastes, anyway, drinking tea is the same thing, the water is the same, the tea is the same, the people are different, and the feeling is different.
As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Azarez returned, glanced at the three men who were sipping tea, and walked over.
"The liaison ship has already taken off, I contacted the Glow in the captain's room just now, and soon they will be waiting for us at the orbital dock first."
Reaching out to take the tea cup handed by Barrett, he took a sip, and the lieutenant colonel teased: "If you are not a soldier, you can eat with this." ”
Laughing, Barrett felt that the lieutenant colonel was praising him.
With the current navigation technology, there is gravity control throughout the battleship, so even if the spaceship takes off and accelerates, there is no big feeling inside.
In about three hours, the liaison ship will arrive at the lunar orbital dock.
As she sipped her tea, Doroniel asked Raffy about the Covenant with great interest, as if she might be going there one day.
The lieutenant colonel continued his work, though he deliberately avoided his gaze a few times when he glanced at Barrett in between.
"Regarding the question of your identity, the response given by the War Department is to temporarily join my Frost Navy in the name of an exchange officer. The temporary military rank is set as a second lieutenant, and the position is not for the time being. Nothing is wrong, right? ”
Lai Fei has no opinion on this matter, and it doesn't matter whether he has a military rank or not.
"Also, your father has entrusted me with the news to bring you, so let's reflect on it for a while. It's those five words. ”
Although the lieutenant colonel did not suspect that this was a secret idea, as a father, His Royal Highness the Prince didn't seem to be worried about what happened to his daughter now.
"Well, thank you, Lieutenant Colonel, my father is still a little angry." Lei Fei still explained, and his heart was actually a little relaxed, it seemed that his father didn't blame himself too much.
The Lunar Dock, a square dock about a few kilometers long and nearly 30,000 kilometers from Savidina's Moon, maintains a uniform speed and orbits Savidina.
In the eastern sector, this dock is relatively large, and can accommodate ten cruiser-class warships for replenishment operations at the same time.
For the time being, it will be under the management of the Thunder Fleet, and when the armistice agreement is signed, it will be returned to the Covenant's fleet.
The liaison ship has entered the docking stage, standing at the window and looking at the outer wall of the dock that is slowly approaching, Barrett has some emotion in his heart, in just fifteen years, the Nala people have learned and built a considerable number of large military ports and naval fortresses!
The Covenant's national system determines that in terms of various resource allocation and construction efficiency, it is far more efficient than a republic that takes weeks or even months to carry out an order.
Once the upper management gives an order, the executors below will complete the task with an almost fanatical degree of execution.
Within the Order, even more so.
Fortunately, the Nala people's rejection of technology has led them not to regard technology as a major force, which allows the Frosts to barely maintain the balance of power.
At the baggage drop-off, he retrieved his bag, which contained a set of Barrett's non-commissioned officer armor, as well as a scimitar left for him by Lowe, a bracer and battery made for him by Phoenix, two of Lowe's relics---- an old photo with the words written on the back, and a disability certificate from when he was injured.
In addition to these few things, it is a souvenir left by the army----- a few glass bottles. Actually, it's good to keep this thing at home as a souvenir, and it looks no different from an hourglass.
There was no mistake in counting, Barrett walked to the lieutenant colonel and the others who were waiting at the boarding gate, and they would not stop here, they would immediately return to Thelorne on the cruiser Glow Glow.
Standing on the conveyor belt, Barrett found that the team was a little larger, except for Doroniel, who was surrounded by guards at the front, as well as soldiers and mechanics from the military headquarters.
The current military control system can be as high as real-time control, and military personnel only need to follow the instructions of the information system in which port and which ship to board.
Personnel who complete the task will leave immediately in the next port, and those who come in will also come in the next port.
Although this is a sign of high efficiency, in fact it is just a constraint on the power of the military department to prevent local warlords from becoming bigger!
Private soldiers? It's hard to happen like this in these days.
His eyes swept over every soldier, this is his habit left by being a soldier in the army, compared to the navy with frequent transfers, the army is still relatively stable, after all, you can't go into space by yourself.
Barrett felt a little different when he saw a person, he had an impression of this person, the power cabin technician who had been added in.
Probably sensing that he was looking at him, the technician turned his face and smiled at Barrett.
That feeling is gone, Barrett shook his head, is it a delusion? Forget it, let's talk about it when we get a chance.
As everyone boarded the ship, the outer gate of the battleship closed and entered the undocking stage.
