December 19, 2507. The second star domain, Xinghuang Autonomous Prefecture.

Warships, as distinct from civilian ships, refer to space ships designed specifically to deal with armed conflicts.

As a rule, a battleship is smaller in size than an ocean-going cargo ship, although there are exceptions, such as the Star Destroyer. However, some scholars believe that the Star Destroyer cannot be regarded as a warship in the strict sense.

It is interesting to discuss the definition of a battleship. As long as the ship is armed, it is in line with the battleship in the broad sense.

This is actually quite nonsense, for example, an ocean-going cargo ship more than ten kilometers long is equipped with a 76-mm gun, if it can also be defined as a battleship, it is not interesting.

Therefore, warships are often limited to interpretation, requiring multiple conditions to be met at the same time. In short, only a ship with actual combat effectiveness can be called a warship.

One of these conditions is the presence of a sizable combat force on board.

Long Qi came to the barracks cabin area, which is generally one of the largest cabins of a warship. Although there is no clear dividing line, stepping here, Long Qicong can clearly feel the sudden change in the atmosphere of the Dao.

If the other areas of the ship gave Long Qicong the feeling, it was just busy. Then the iron blood and gunpowder smoke are probably the most intuitive feelings for Long Qicong here.

Although Xinghuang is not a country, these soldiers are not professional at all. Even walking briskly, they saw Long Qicong, and immediately stood up and raised their arms to make a half-salute.

After the salute, he didn't stop long, and immediately continued to be busy. didn't even give Long Qi time to answer. Long Qicong was a little at a loss, but it seemed that Chen Shitong felt that this should be taken for granted.

"In my opinion, it should not be just a half-salute, but a full salute."

Chen Shitong said dissatisfiedly. Long Qicong thought about it, and only felt that Chen Shitong didn't have a B number. Now that people are under the roof, people are willing to give a good face, which is already a blessing.

Don't expect too much.

For Long Qicong himself, the same is true. You shouldn't expect too much, and you don't dare to expect too much, and spend every day in fear.

looked at Chu Jiu and Black Fang behind him, and felt in vain in his heart. Doubt whether this act of cultivating one's own power is useless.

The allocation of forces should be useful, but when it comes to implementing it, it feels like a child's play by itself. It's good to wonder what you should be.

This is, suddenly a man dressed as an officer ran from the front. He was a middle-aged man, wearing a blue, white and gray camouflage uniform. I don't know what camouflage can be used for in space.

When Long Qicong was thinking nonsense, the man suddenly stood still in front of Long Qicong. With their feet together, they snapped and waved their hands and gave a military salute.

Okay. So, Xinghuang directly got the regular army?

"Commander-in-Chief of the Autumn Wind Class Battleship Marine Corps, Colonel Lin Xiaoshan, report for duty!"

Long Qi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked left and right, and asked, "Are you talking to me?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"How did I become a chief?"

Lin Xiaoshan didn't answer: "Please instruct the chief!" ”

Long Qicong was a little depressed, and at the same time a little overwhelmed.

In the past, what I faced was nothing more than some crew members. Now this is a real soldier, and when he encounters momentum, he is three points weaker. Long Qi subconsciously looked at Chen Shitong, and then remembered that Chen Shitong was probably going to scold himself to death.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shitong cast an encouraging look.

Long Qicong suddenly remembered that in front of the imperial soldiers, he had wasted himself, how could he go back more and more now? Thinking of this, Long Qicong calmed down.

"I don't have any instructions, I just want to come and see."

These words fell on Lin Xiaoshan's ears, and he changed his meaning. Who doesn't know that the child in front of him has a special relationship with Zhu Di.

Long Qi has never come to the military camp to take a look, isn't it equivalent to Zhu Di sending someone to inspect?

"Yes, the chief is welcome to come and inspect it."

"Me?" Long Qicong wanted to emphasize it again, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to explain it specifically, "Please Colonel Lin lead the way." ”

Lin Xiaoshan "snapped", and made a military salute again. Take a half step back, get out of the way, and wave away.

Long Qicong thought slightly, Lin Xiaoshan nodded, and walked forward. Lin Xiaoshan waited for Long Qicong to take a step, and then he understood, keeping half a body slower than Long Qicong.

These are all details that seem useless, but if you come across someone who eats this very much, or cares about it very much, it will come in handy.

However, although Long Qicong noticed this, he didn't care much about it. It belongs to the kind that can be had, and there is no kind that does not force you.

However, goodwill has already been generated. This is Long Qicong's good first impression of Lin Xiaoshan.

Lin Xiaoshan first took Long Qicong to inspect the soldiers' dormitories, which were not large, sleeping eight people in the upper and lower bunks. I looked at several dormitories one after another, and some of them were still sleeping.

"What's going on?"

"There is no day or night on the ship, and we usually have half of us staggered schedules. This ensures that half of the soldiers on board are awake at all times. ”

Lin Xiaoshan said in a low voice.

Long Qicong nodded, and retreated, not disturbing the rest of the soldiers. Lin Xiaoshan also wanted to take Long Qicong to continue to inspect several bedrooms, but Long Qicong refused.

For Lin Xiaoshan, Long Qicong is an inspection. However, for Long Qicong, he came to visit. You don't have to look so detailed when you visit.

After finishing living, the next thing is to eat. However, on most warships, the canteens are all gathered together. The battleship of the Star Phoenix is no exception, and the soldiers and soldiers all share a canteen with the crew.

Long Qicong thought about it, where he often went, it seemed that there was no need to see it.

Lin Xiaoshan naturally would not object. Long Qicong suddenly thought, since half of the stations are staggered, doesn't it mean that half of the soldiers will eat "at night"?

If you think about it, it doesn't make sense that soldiers who are only responsible for fighting must be on duty at all times, and other posts that are responsible for the operation of ships do not need to be "night shifts".

In this way, half of the people on the ship are always working, and half of them are resting. So, how should the meal time be arranged in the canteen?

Add a late-night snack?

It seems that it is necessary to ask the people on the other side of the cafeteria about this. I hadn't noticed this before, and I thought that the ship was also made at sunrise and sunset.

But from another point of view, this matter is also very easy to understand.

A ship is a small planet with day on one side and night on the back. People on both sides, working together to keep the ship running.

Long Qicong thought about it, it seemed to be like this.

"By the way, didn't there be four children last time? I heard that it was arranged for you here, right? ”

"Yes, sir."
