1015, Alien Colossus (4)

AD.2154.4.11——

Starlink Naval Academy.

Kaos was watching the graduation ceremony of the recruits, who had at least the rank of second lieutenant, from a viewing platform on the edge of the open-air playground.

Of course, "open air", compared with the space station in the previous science fiction works that is sealed like a tin can, and once the air leaks is a major event, the current space station is more like a floating island, under the influence of "Mass Effect" technology, there is a "protective shield" above the floating island that will not let the air escape, and the meteorite that is waiting for nothing can not be shaken at all.

The space stations far from Earth are basically of similar construction, except for the Gagarin space station, which suffered a lot because it was built too early.

At this time, Lechtem Claude, dressed in military uniform, was leading the graduates below to take the oath on the stage of the ceremony:

"I hereby solemnly swear,"

"I will dedicate my life and strength to protect the Federation of Galaxies and protect human civilization,"

"We will uphold the justice of all intelligent life in the universe,"

"From the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to the edge of the Milky Way."

"Today is the beginning, and the end is the end."

Originally, it was just to watch the ceremony, but not only was he first pressed as the governor of the colony star, but the academy took this identity as an opportunity to ask him to lead the oath on his behalf.

It's really troublesome, Kaos smacked his lips, if it was a real attack, he could help him, and this kind of game in the dark, it would be good to be able to understand the skin.

"How, aren't you envious?" Zhou beside him suddenly said.

"A little." Kaos nodded.

Lechtem was a bit stubborn and unruly in private, nitpicking about the details of things, implementing decisions as soon as they were made, having no more than three styles of clothes in his closet, and always preferring junk food like hot dog burgers and coke...... But it's still handsome after dressing up and putting on a serious expression.

"So, when the new semester starts, how about you go straight to school?" Zhou answered lightly.

"Huh?" Kaos blinked, looking at him and the graduates below, confused.

Wait, he just asked himself if he was "envious", could it be that he actually meant those milky little kids?

"Of course, it's not an adult class, but a juvenile class that will be formed." Weekly supplements.

"No, no." Kaos spun back quickly.

If you count your actual age, even a dying human old man is a child to him, and if you count his mental age, well...... It's still not good.

At this time, the oath-taking part of the graduation ceremony has passed, and the official selection link has officially begun, of course, the official name is "A Brief Introduction to the Combat Units of the Star Alliance".

The officers of these publicly available units will give a general overview of their units one by one and encourage the students, while the college will document their names, locations, sizes, and current major talent gaps to the graduates, and ask them to fill out their own letters of intent.

Although as soldiers, their relationship with various units may not be as free as that of job seekers and recruitment companies, and those present will be assigned even if they do not fill in the form, but if they are willing to take the initiative to go, their motivation and sense of belonging will always be higher.

Specifically, the First Fleet may be the first choice for those who pursue stability because it is determined that it will be responsible for guarding the Earth and Arcturus, while the Second and Third Fleets that are being formed will face unknown star fields for a long time, and the weight in the hearts of adventurers will be higher, and the Colonial Star Garrison, a military branch that combines the two tendencies, is more suitable for those who want to "take it all".

"You know, Kevin, the population of the new colony star is three million at the beginning, and there will be more according to the attraction of the planet in the future, and now the entire star alliance is full of 'going out' thoughts, and the colonel, as the governor of Europa Seven, and me as his lieutenant, will be very busy, and will probably not have time to take care of you." Even when he was rejected, Zhou kept his tepid pace of speech to explain.

"Just find a droid butler." Kaos didn't look back.

"It's not just life, it's knowledge."

"I can teach myself."

"What about social relationships?"

"No, I don't."

"And-"

"Little K, mute." Kaos bowed his head to his left wrist in command.

"Okay, muted.] As a translucent orange-yellow "glove" appeared on his hand, a voice indistinguishable from his sounded.

Then, Zhou's voice was directly interrupted.

Of course, it wasn't that Kaos had muted Zhou, but that his sound waves were specifically filtered out through the "Mass Effect Shield" on his body.

The app can also play some dynamic dance music if you want to, but you can be fooled if you don't.

“……”

Zhou seemed to say something again, and finally shrugged his shoulders and gave up.

If you want to say what Kaos likes most in this interstellar space era, it is this "universal tool" that is also archaeological from the ruins of Mars.

It combines communication, computing, authentication, material processing, and more, and can chat with its built-in virtual intelligence (VI) for a day if you want.

In addition, this orange virtual glove is just an AR projection, and its real form is a wristband tied to Kaos's wrist, it is said that there are people who don't like virtual people who directly make it into a glove type, and there are also ruthless people who directly make it into a subcutaneous chip and implant it in the arm, but more of them are made into a small trinket like Kaos - by the way, the "Mass Effect Shield" is also provided by it, so it can isolate sound waves outside a certain range.

Even if Zhou is "muted", Kaos does not have any sense of ease, because it is impossible for Zhou to put forward this opinion by himself, it is most likely a decision made by Lechtem under comprehensive consideration, and the number of those who oppose his adoptive father's decision and succeed is currently zero, Zhou may not have much to do with him in the "mute state", but at the same time, Lechtem, who has the highest authority of "Little K", will not let him continue to play this trick.

Hell, it looked more and more like that dream, Kaos frowning and thinking quickly in the quiet "shield".

Obviously, it was precisely because he was left at the Naval Academy, and only had the opportunity to meet Lechtm on sporadic vacations, and did not officially go to Europa VII until a few years later, so he failed to find any traces of the appearance of the "Star Destroyer"—as it is tentatively called, otherwise, for an "old day" who stayed on the planet, how could he not find the behemoth that suddenly appeared in nearby space?

Now the trouble is that due to the status of adopted son and school-age child, Kaos has no reason and capital to refuse this arrangement, and saying that the existence of the "Star Destroyer" will make him more like a bear child who does not want to leave home to go to school and makes excuses.

If you really can't do it, you can consider showing some power to Lechterm in private, expressing that he is "not mortal", so he doesn't have to go to "mortal school"?
