Volume 1: The Rainbow of the Old World Chapter 11. The night of the corona
The closer it was to the Corona, the stronger the sense of oppression felt by this pitch-black space battleship, and when Lu Yuan looked at it, the Corona occupied a full field of vision, and no matter how you looked around, it was just a steel-cast iron hull armor.
The densely arranged silhouette lights are like 10,000 pairs of eyes of this cold outer god, of course, to compare the ancient legendary gods to the corona, in a way, it is a contempt for the corona,
Outside the porthole, countless swarms of drones shuttle by, endlessly maintaining the corona hull facilities, none of these "worker bees" are smaller than the size of the aerospace aircraft that Lu Yuan is riding, and the total daily attendance of the engineering astronauts responsible for repairing the external parts out of the capsule alone is an extremely terrifying number.
"Note, docking with the pilot aircraft will begin in one minute, all personnel, please do not leave your seats." The pilot of the aerospace aircraft reminded that Lu Yuan immediately felt that the vibration under his feet had disappeared, which meant that the power of the aerospace aircraft was returning to zero. But soon, two pilot planes like flat boxes approached the sides of the nose of the aerospace aircraft, stretched out electromagnetic towing cables to attach them, and the auxiliary thrusters were put down at the four corners of the box, and quickly headed towards the Corona hangar.
Passing through the hangar magnetic airlock, the Aerospace Machine stopped behind a group of various ships waiting to be docked, but this was not in the way, and at this time it was already allowed to carry the ship's docking spacecraft.
The paratroopers lined up crookedly in the long line behind Lu Yuan, and these unwashed men kept yawning, showing their exhaustion. Lu Yuan rubbed his slightly reddened eyes, and saw that there was a senior officer next to him who was hanging the headquarters ornament looking at each other, and said reluctantly: "The surface dust is relatively heavy." ”
"We're all in the service of the Celestial Alliance, Captain." The officer bowed his head, his stature was so tall that he could look down on Lu Yuan slightly, and Lu Yuan could easily see a dark birthmark on his stork bone hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat.
"Yes, Colonel." Lu Yuan nodded, this officer's voice was a little familiar, but Lu Yuan couldn't remember which occasion he had heard it, but he generally couldn't touch this kind of headquarters officer with his wrist handcuffed to the briefcase, where would the noble people of the headquarters be willing to get mud on the soles of their boots.
Lu Yuan didn't want to ask more, he was silent for a moment, the two planes connected, the headquarters officer pressed the military cap, the silver noose eagle emblem on it was shining, and said indifferently: "May your sacrifice be worthwhile, goodbye, Captain Lu Yuan." "Let's step on the HQ's exclusive aircraft and leave.
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled how this person could recognize him, and there was no nameplate on his clothes, Lu Yuan put aside irrelevant thoughts, led the paratroopers on the shuttle spacecraft, and headed towards the station.
The mobile division to which the 28th Parachute Brigade belonged was stationed with few people, and there were only a few marine tanks supporting the scene in the huge assembly field.
Even if he got home, Lu Yuan casually found a cushioned chair and sat down, waved his hand and motioned for Yue Dong to take the paratroopers back, seeing that the people were gone, Lu Yuan suddenly buried his head in his knees, speechless for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he was just emptying his mind.
It wasn't until the ground crew found Lu Yuan and handed the sloppy paratrooper a hot towel that Lu Yuan was not so depressed, he took a big breath of the sweet aroma of the towel, thanked him, and asked the ground staff to go to his single room to get a few clean clothes, he didn't want the smell to spread to the only nest where he could completely relax.
Lu Yuan was not taboo, he took out the steel wine pot hidden in his inner pocket and poured a few sips, and then sent it directly to the ground staff, this ground service brother looked at the back of Lu Yuan walking away quickly, and threw the wine jug with it, and shouted helplessly: "Hey! Where are you going?! ”
"Judge Advocate General!" Lu Yuan shouted without looking back.
As we all know, the Corona is very large, and just for the usual transportation of more than 500,000 crews, the ship has laid a dense magnetic levitation express track like a spider's web. Although the combat force is fully deployed, this does not interfere with the daily work of civilian and engineering personnel.
Lu Yuan ignored the crowd of strange stares around him, he grinned at a female clerk recently, then took out a pack of cigarettes, shook it at her, and took out a cigarette, the smoke mixed with the smell of alcohol, and permeated her delicate swan blue uniform skirt.
When the pickets were looking for people all over the site, the main Lu Yuan calmly smoked several in the blind spot of the monitoring, this is the few happiness before the military rank is not promoted to the school level, as long as the AI chip is not implanted, then Lu Yuan can play the picket around, bold enough, and Lu Yuan has not done it before.
However, Lu Yuan was full of complaints, and when he arrived near the bridge, he didn't dare to mess around, the bridge was responsible for the affairs of the entire battleship, and the Corona was the flagship, and the bridge area was additionally equipped with a set of command structures that obeyed the commander of the expeditionary fleet, Marshal Ru Fayu, and even the guards were elites who had received training in iron pilots, and the defense could not be described as imprudent.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn't have to enter the core bridge, of course, he was not qualified to enter, he found the military justice department with ease, the receptionist obviously knew this frequent visitor, and joked that Lu Yuan made some mistakes this time, whether it was gathering a crowd to play cards or drinking in violation of regulations, and when Lu Yuan said what he had committed, the receptionist couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and even said that Captain Lu was really bullish, so that he could actually receive the punishment by himself, instead of being escorted by the gendarmerie.
But Lu Yuan's idea of being guilty early and finishing things early came to naught, and the receptionist said that the military discipline case at this level would not be taken lightly, and it needed to be dealt with by the disciplinary review committee, that is to say, Lu Yuan couldn't fool around like before this time.
The receptionist warmly reminded him to enjoy the last few days of freedom, Lu Yuan was depressed, and he didn't know if the division headquarters had said hello, looking at Colonel Bao's thunderous appearance, it was very likely that he was greeting him and cleaning him up, but Lu Yuan was also happy to eat and drink for a while, no matter how bad the confinement food was, it was better than emergency nutrition.
Lu Yuan walked out of the Judge Advocate General's Office indifferently, stretched out in the sunlight, and the ecological circle inside the ship marked the barren planet that often had to wear a purifier to breathe, which was purely heaven.
Before Lu Yuan finished stretching his waist, he saw an officer in a handcuffed briefcase in the crowd in the distance, recognized the birthmark, and said in his heart that he was worthy of being a person from the headquarters, and he could face cards everywhere. When he got closer, Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw the nameplate on his chest clearly, and read it, Colonel Lu Yunzhong of the General Staff.
Lu Yunzhong? Lu Yuan instantly recalled the Colonel Lu Yunzhong who ordered him to do everything possible to paralyze the Ivan Terrible Mecha. Lu Yuan was a little puzzled, how could a staff officer appear in the surface of the Star Monument Fortress in a fierce battle.
The doubts were fleeting, Lu Yuan was not interested in delving into it, he looked coldly at Colonel Lu sent into the core bridge surrounded by guards, Lu Yuan obeyed the order, but it didn't mean that he would like an order to send him and his brothers to death.
Lu Yuan returned to the paratrooper station unhappily, washed up alone, counted how many paratroopers had been sacrificed in this Eagle Valley Star Fortress battle, the number was so high that Lu Yuan panicked, silently wrote the death notice, wrote a gray familiar name, and then sealed the stack of letters into the safe, which was full of hundreds of desperate letters that would be delivered by Lu Yuan himself, he stared at a group photo next to the desk, and saw that he was distracted, and those young people were in high spirits and came to life in the group photo.
In this lifeless star field, the two suns rise and set in the west and set in the east, and a few days passed, no one came to examine Lu Yuan, but the news came that the remnants of the paratroopers were being merged and prepared to be reorganized into a new brigade, and Lu Yuan took over as the temporary commander.
The mobile division garrison became more and more angry one after another, and the first thing the paratroopers who had survived the bloody battle did when they came back was to sleep for a day and a night. Lu Yuan often sat alone in front of the holographic projection screen of the assembly site, never leaving his mouth and not leaving his wine, he looked at the shuttle light monument being built in space, these six curved rotors that seemed to be marble were filled with the blood of countless soldiers, but they were also the only consolation for countless soldiers.
Family.
Lu Yuan recalled that when he set off, the huge rotor light monument in the sky above Zeus, every time a battleship did not enter the light monument breathing point, there would be a line of accelerating blue light across thousands of miles, and the six stable wings of the light monument expanded to the limit, and the lower corona, the picture of the Milky Way falling for nine days, was engraved into the annals of history and into the hearts of every soldier who went to another country.
The eternally flowing vortex in the light monument has infinite magic, which has always made Lu Yuan staring at his dry eyes and unwilling to take his eyes off, so he found that the black in a certain area behind the light monument was fading, he swept the jump data transmitted in real time under the screen, rubbed the messy beard under his chin self-deprecatingly, and lowered his head to pour wine, so he naturally didn't see the swarms of warships passing by.
"With all things in the world, the oath of making a fortune, and the loyalty of all my might, my love can be dedicated......" Lu Yuan hummed softly, this is the first song that every citizen of the Celestial Alliance has taught since he was a child. A few paratroopers around him sang along to the beat.
"This will have no regrets, this intention is not afraid of the test......" The paratroopers who passed by all joined in the chorus, they caressed their chests, looking at the majestic Austic Eagle emblem hanging on the wall, not caring that the Corona was slowly changing direction, and the escorted cruiser rushed over, aiming at the light monument that was extending the transition area like a great enemy.
"There is a majestic and distant country, my generation has heard of it for a long time, the admirer is like a close relative, and the knower knows its greatness......" They also did not know that at the same moment, there were people in the bridge who sang this song softly, and then tied their hands to arrest.
"Defend the land without soldiers, and it will be difficult to regain its king, the strong base is cast in the strong heart, and sacrifice becomes its glory......" Many paratroopers cried uncontrollably, on the eve of returning home, but sacrificed so many comrades, once the Guangbei jump area was extended, then the fleet would set sail home, leaving hundreds of thousands of young people who had shed their blood in a star field that would never return, and no trace of them could be found.
The song is not over, it is already a sad sound, Lu Yuan turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, he couldn't let the paratroopers see the fragile side of the commander, the moment he turned his head, he suddenly looked at the corner of the holographic projection, and jumped out of the fleet out of thin air after the light monument? Ship number 49? It was the first ship of the decoy fleet of the year! What is that? It fired!
The red light flashed rapidly, the alarm sounded suddenly, and the ship's emergency broadcast hastily reported: "Enemy fleet! ”
"Combat Alert !!"
