Volume II: Snow Day Blood Red Chapter 23. Winter and fairy tales

"Did you say that the Sunset Cloud would be removed from the headquarters?" Lu Yuan held the steering wheel and looked at the ice field where the wind and snow stopped, and the sky was suddenly exceptionally clear.

"In accordance with the practice of the fleet, frigates and warships of greater tonnage will be removed from the country after they are destroyed in battle, depending on the merits of their service. With a total service time of 9 years, 4 months and 15 days, the Yuyun has sunk two submarine hunters, two minelayers, destroyed and damaged one amphibious assault ship, performed 203 routine missions, completed 32 major military intelligence missions, won a total of 4 fleet awards, and won 3 types of battle decorations including Thor's Star. ”

"Its service life has been glorious, but unfortunately, according to the newly promulgated "Fleet Registry Management Regulations", the Yuyun is a normal battle loss, and has not been used as the flagship of the detachment and has undertaken a significant combat position, so it will be removed within 60 days after the loss is confirmed."

The hare turned a little over a low cliff, and in the rearview mirror there was a huge round pit, which, if viewed, looked like a spoon digging out the corner of the pastry. In many years' time, it will surely become a mountain lake, and if any explorer passes by in the future, he will be amazed at how amazing nature has come.

Lu Yuan took a sip of the hot water bottle, and then held it in his arms, and the white mist was filled.

"In the future, the newly built warships should continue to use the name of 'Xiyun'." Lu Yuan said.

"According to the Regulations on the Naming of Warships, frigate-class ships should be officially named after natural phenomena such as 'wind', 'rain', 'cloud', etc., and the name of the ship will generally be used in consideration of the battle experience of the Yunon."

Lu Yuan slowly took small sips of hot water, the car player played quiet and soothing music, the hare drove constantly, and Lu Yuan chatted with Murphy in a casual manner, talking about what kind of soil is good for feeding the hibiscus trees, and how much water should be watered for the vines in the yard every day. Murphy still spoke in the same cold tone, but he could still hear that he was answering seriously.

"So you don't have to be very diligent in weeding? Oh, co-prosperity and symbiosis, is it? Haha, this is the first time I've heard that said. ”

The holographic projection light of the hare lit up, and the phantom of the female officer of the fleet faintly appeared on the passenger seat, Lu Yuan knew that it was time for Murphy to sleep, so he did not stop and continued the topic of flowers and plants just now.

"Your previous questions, Murphy has recorded all of them, 6 questions about human emotions and psychology, please forgive Murphy for not being able to answer them immediately, and will give you a satisfactory answer after Murphy is released from hibernation."

The female officer took off her boat-shaped military hat and bowed slightly towards Lu Yuan, and the light and shadow immediately turned into a halo, and the stars dissipated little by little.

Lu Yuan twitched his throat, his head was not biased, he paused, and said, "If I want to buy a home helper, which model do you recommend?" IKEA's reputation has always been good. The main reason is that Ji Yue doesn't like to use anthropomorphic machines, and I don't mind, after all, she and I are often in the fleet, and it's very hard to be pragmatic when I just go home. ”

No one responded.

Lu Yuan added water to the hot water bottle in his arms, reached out and turned off the automatic cruise button, and touched the handle and scabbard of the pistol with his left hand, and the frosted touch of the steering wheel gradually became heavier.

"When you get there, tell me again."

The occasional tingling sensation at the back of the neck was hidden, and the data chip fell silent. The throbbing sensation connected to the nerves had risen in less than a day. The mountain road was rugged but could not stop the hare, Lu Yuan and the music flowing from the player, concentrating on climbing over one mountain hill after another.

Lu Yuan put the map on the dashboard and drove along the foothills, the coniferous forest was particularly slender and lush, and many times Lu Yuan had no way to avoid it, so he had to increase his horsepower and push it hard at the shovel angle. The woods were plowed in striking straight lines, but not a single bird was startled.

Lu Yuan's violent and direct method was quite effective, as the sun had just set in the west, and the hare rushed to the foot of the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, there was still an endless amount of snow and cold-resistant trees dotted in between.

Lu Yuan didn't plan to rush at night, once he accidentally fell into a snowdrift with soft geology, Lu Yuan would not be able to push out a hare weighing more than ten tons even if he put on an exoskeleton, which was secondary. At noon, the temperature in the wilderness is a very cold minus 39 degrees Celsius, and when a storm blows at night, how much should the temperature drop?

minus 39 degrees is indeed not a surprising number for Lu Yuan, just the Eagle Valley Star, the night is as long as 117 hours, and the soldiers are fighting in extremely cold conditions. But this time is different from the past, Lu Yuan does not have a whole fleet above his head, he only has such a car.

Lu Yuan couldn't even find any bulges to shield him from the wind, so Lu Yuan jumped out of the car in full gear, and only then did he move to the rear inducing wheel of the hare's track with difficulty by holding on to the railing, he squatted down and pinched the snow, loose and unreliable.

Lu Yuan didn't want to turn on the engine all night to make sure the hare didn't get stuck in the snow, even if it was in a low-power state. The fuel used by the Celestial Alliance's ground vehicles can be found everywhere, and it is in the air, that is, hydrogen, but it is made into solid hydrogen rods for hares to use, and I am afraid that there is no factory on Earth that has this technology. Therefore, Lu Yuan's energy will be provincial, and when the hydrogen rods are exhausted, it will be annoying to burn fossil energy.

But in the end, he had to find a way to divert the snow, Lu Yuan was quite heartbroken and turned out an anti-gravity module from the armament box and pasted it on the roof of the car, the fluorescence flashed three times, and the goose feather snow automatically slid to both sides of the hare.

Lu Yuan rubbed his hands, and said in his heart that he had fallen into which corner of the earth, frozen into this appearance, and the worst thing was that he had to travel more than a thousand kilometers in front of the north, needless to say, it was even colder there, but there were actually people who built a space launch site, and they really didn't care about anything for the sake of fighting.

The anti-gravity module separated the snow curtain, and it was not too cold to sit on the roof of the car, Lu Yuan casually took a bag of self-heating military rations as dinner, and continued to draw the unfinished map.

As Lu Yuan began to sketch out the other parts that the Sunset Cloud scanned, the mountain range where Lu Yuan was located was only a very small part of this wide area of about 1,500 kilometers long and wide, with an area of more than 2 million square kilometers. Starting from the Yukumo as the center of the circle, the mountains in the east are undulating and then the coast, the western side is basically plain, the southern plains are both plains and low hills, and the northern side is full of river valleys and basins.

Lu Yuan naturally found a problem, although it is cold here, it is definitely not so bad that it cannot survive, there should be a frost-free period of 5 to 8 months after the thaw, and the rebuilt earth civilization will not be able to establish a large-scale village and town if it regresses to the agricultural era.

Even if the Skyfall War, which led to the mass migration of liberal humans hundreds of years ago, did destroy the earth's surface, pheromone bombs that could completely wipe out all life forms on the planet were not developed until the last century, and were quickly countered after being developed. Crazy as an empire, the power to drop a Class B pheromone bomb that costs more than a cruiser on Earth thousands of light-years away, right?

Lu Yuan was puzzled, and he was not interested in drawing the map, so he simply lay down and erlang's legs and thought about this problem, he thought that the daylight was completely dim and he didn't come up with a reason.

The starry sky before the wind and snow rose was extremely brilliant, but Lu Yuan saw the wonders of the universe in the deep sky, how could he look up at the starry sky from the ground? Just as he felt bored and was about to go back to the carriage to sleep, Lu Yuan suddenly thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to brag!

The first lesson of enlightenment for all children of the Celestial Alliance is to look up at the universe and identify those two stars as the two twin moons of Zeus, Lan Ji and Qing Ji. There is an illustration in the astronomy children's book of how the Big Dipper was used as a primitive navigation in the age of the earth. If you take this photo, you won't be able to blow it for the rest of your life when you go back?

Lu Yuan came to the end, and hurriedly looked at the sky carefully, thinking about the seven-star connection shaped like a "spoon". However, the sky is full of stars, there are as many stars as dust and sand, and Lu Yuan does not grow on the earth, where is the imagination to guess it, and it looks lonely in the end.

Lu Yuan, who was speechless, lost interest, jumped into the carriage, and simply took a few panoramic photos to chat to relieve his worries. Lu Yuan opened the armament box with professional equipment and went to look for the camera.

"Huh?" Lu Yuan took out his camera, picked up a portable radiation meter, and glanced at it, the index did not return to zero, but floated back and forth between 2 and 3. As soon as he got close to Lu Yuan's shoulder, he suddenly doubled.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, the hare crawler conveyor is designed to fight on the surface of various planets without an atmosphere and directly affected by cosmic radiation, there are strict three-defense facilities, and there is absolutely no high radiation value of 3 roentgen in the car, so the radiation source is obviously Lu Yuan himself!

Lu Yuan walked to the snow with the radiation meter, and the value rose rapidly, and when the meter was inserted into the snow, the environmental radiation index jumped to silence in an instant.

33 Roentgenium.

Is this still in the deserted deep mountains and forests, how many gathering places should there be that once flourished densely? Hundred? Two hundred? Thousand? Ten thousand?

Lu Yuan remembered what Murphy said earlier. "The surface of the ship meets the minimum survival conditions, and it can be released under low protection conditions."

Sure enough, it is the minimum living conditions, and the low protection conditions are out of the cabin. Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, in that series of tens of thousands of numbers, only a few dozen really couldn't attract Lu Yuan's attention, he had always been airborne from an orbit thirty or forty thousand kilometers above the ground, how could he remember how many millimeters of life at an altitude of 100 meters above sea level, only when he stood in the snow himself, he knew what kind of land it was.

Emptiness, dead silence, only winter.

Lu Yuan returned to the carriage, the hare's air self-circulation disinfection system purified Lu Yuan's contamination of radiation in a few seconds, he picked up the electronic tablet, and outside the plate a few centimeters thick behind him was the really deadly winter night roar, and his front was as warm as spring.

Lu Yuan's index finger ran over the surface of the tablet, and he gently read the chapters that were written centuries ago and are still admired centuries later.

"In the long winter nights, with the wind howling in the woods and the snow flying wildly, there is an old man who occasionally visits, and who is said to have dug Walden, built its stone banks and surrounded it with pine forests. He told me about ancient rumors and a new immortality, and despite the absence of apples and no wine, we had a wonderful evening with laughter and appreciation of all things. ”

You say, "Should there be a fairy tale in this world?"
