A few old people were fine, they had seen a lot of the world, and four young people were not enough, so they jumped on the side of the corridor and shouted in the distance, for fear that no one would know that they had reached this highest point.

"We came to play once a few days ago, but I didn't know that this was actually your spaceship, Seventh Brother! If it weren't for Grandpa Li to say, we would still be in the dark, Brother Seven, you would open a room for us for free for one night, I want the most expensive villa room! ”

Cui Xingran said to Ling Qi with a wrinkled nose.

Ling Qi smiled: "No problem, you can live as you please!" ”

At this time, the white-faced old man began to get down to business: "We haven't paid attention to who took the task, but today I heard from your teacher that we learned that you took the task of going to the Cosmic Sea." It can only be said that your spirit is commendable. Engineers are a logistics echelon and belong to the key protection group in the fleet, so you must not leave the large army without permission. ”

Being cared for by the old man, Ling Qi was moved in his heart and said, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life!" ”

"Cosmic Sea?" The eyes of the four young men lit up.

Before they could offer to follow, the hook-nosed old man scolded: "Don't mess around, the Cosmic Sea is unpredictable, and it's not a place for you to play!" ”

The eyes of the four suddenly dimmed.

Ling Qi glanced at them with a smile, they were really children who hadn't grown up, playing under the care of their elders, and they didn't know where their way out would be in the future!

Looking beyond the edge of Lingxiao City and looking at the streets in the distance, those people at the bottom who are running around for life and wear many hats, their grandparents, or grandpa's grandfathers, were once as carefree as these four people, right? Nowadays, the high-end paradise-like Sky is open for free and also provides food, and they are obviously close to them, but they have no time and no willingness to spend time and credit to take the aircraft to come up for a meal......

"Seventh brother, seventh brother?" Cui Xingran waved his little hand in front of Ling Qi's eyes: "What are you thinking?" ”

"I wonder if the people at the bottom, if their ancestors had been as industrious as they were, wouldn't they have fallen into the situation they are now?" Ling Qi retracted his gaze and said casually.

The four old men suddenly fell silent. Cui Xingran didn't finish listening to Ling Qi's words at all, and said with a grin: "I have good news for you, what is the reward?" ”

Ling Qi met her expectant eyes, her heart moved, and said, "What do you want?" Retrofitting a speedboat? ”

"Uh-huh, Brother Qi, you are so smart, you can guess it, hehe!" Cui Xingran was like a chicken pecking rice, and nodded quickly with a smile.

Ling Qi smiled and agreed, this is nothing difficult to guess, she drooled when she looked at her speedboat last time she was separated. The modified speedboat is far less valuable than her flying machine, but she just likes the appearance of the modified speedboat at a glance.

"yes, talking counts. Hee-hee, let me tell you, that guy named Myton was arrested two days ago, and a woman accused him of indecent assault and gave evidence. Although he insisted that it was consensual and that it was the woman who falsely accused him afterwards, he could not prove his claim. I heard that according to the system of the branch, he may be revoked from the official status of the Star Gate. Isn't that good news, you say? ”

Ling Qi curled the corners of his mouth, revealing an inexplicable smile: "It's indeed good news, wait, I'll give you the speedboat in a while!" ”

Li Buer paid attention to Ling Qi's expression suspiciously, he subconsciously felt that Ling Qi had something to do with this matter, and it was a little incredible.

……

There are still five days left before departure, and the living environment inside the maintenance ship has been laid out by a group of female soldiers, although it is still not as comfortable as the previous Sky Survey, and their luggage and belongings have basically been transferred.

Ling Qi didn't need to prepare anything, there were all kinds of perfect maintenance tools, maintenance robots, and commonly used consumable materials on the maintenance spaceship. These are all spare, and the mission information mentions that the large army will prepare living supplies and maintenance materials, and he does not need to worry about it.

It was also the evening of that day that Ling Qi received a notice asking him to go to the main city of the branch to attend the mobilization meeting.

Ling Qi drove the maintenance spaceship to the main city quickly, parked the spaceship outside the city, and drove the speedboat into the central square of the city. There is a two-kilometre-long building here, which is the branch building. After parking the speedboat in the square, Ling Qi entered the building and came to the top floor, where there was a large conference room that could seat 40,000 people.

At this time, the venue was crowded, and more than half of the people had already entered. Ling Qi easily found his place among tens of thousands of seats according to the seat distribution map and intelligent guidance projected by the communicator.

Around his seat, it was basically full of people, mainly elderly and middle-aged, and there were also a few young people. Most of these people were talking in low voices, and some of them were obviously acquainted. Others quietly look around, or close their eyes to recuperate.

Ling Qi sat down in his place, and on his left was a short middle-aged man with a mustache, his eyes flashing with a shrewd light, and he was whispering to the old man on the other side. On the right, a middle-aged woman is studying information on her personal communicator.

Ling Qi was only slightly surprised, and did not bother her rashly. There are actually a lot of female tech workers in Stargate, and there are quite a few around him.

The area he was in was in the middle, and he presumably belonged to the maintenance engineer area. The people in the front area also look like technicians with different styles, and they should be professionals in other fields such as resource exploration. The people around them have a more consistent style, even if they are sitting, they are upright, the actors are capable, and their actions are like the wind, they are mainly young and middle-aged, and there are also many women, who are obviously soldiers of the combat system.

Even in the mobilization meeting, people in the technical field are protected in the middle, which is a kind of consciousness that is carried out at all times. Ling Qi felt a little moved in his heart, he suddenly felt that it was actually very good to be in a force like Xingmen, and he invisibly felt a sense of belonging, and he no longer seemed to have simply planned to use Xingmen's official identity at the beginning.

There were still twenty minutes before the scheduled time, and the front half of the venue was basically full, and the lights in the second half were turned off, so that Ling Qi understood that there should be so many people.

There were about 20,000 soldiers around, and they sat upright with solemn expressions. There are about 3,000 technicians in the middle. Ling Qi quickly swept through it, but did not find the figure of Qu Shaocheng's gang, and it was estimated that they would only join the team when they were about to set off.

"Hello?"

Ling Qi heard the female engineer on the right speak, turned his head, and saw that she was looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Hello!" Knowing that she was greeting her, Ling Qi nodded in response.

"Are you an apprentice who follows the teacher's actions? Or an engineer who took part in the action himself? The female engineer might have been surprised by Ling Qi's age, so she asked.

Ling Qi smiled and said, "I'm the latter!" What about you? ”

The smile in the female engineer's eyes was even brighter: "Do you think I look like an apprentice?" ”

"Huh!" Ling Qi couldn't help but laugh.

The female engineer stretched out her hand: "I'm Dong Ni, a sixth-level engineer of the spaceship maintenance system, please advise!" ”

"I'm Ling Qi, a first-level engineer of the Stargate maintenance system, learn from each other!"

"......" Dong Ni froze, and then burst out laughing: "You really know how to laugh!" ”
