Chapter 189: Arriving at the Martian Spaceport
Mu Chen and the others had eaten and rested for an hour before replacing the others in the cab to eat and rest.
This is also the system on all space battleships, in order to avoid the occurrence of food poisoning in many people, all the operators of the battleship eat separately.
There are about 15 people on duty in a wheelhouse, and each person's food is different, and the food eaten by the staff on duty and the non-duty personnel should also be different, in order to ensure the normal operation of the warship in case someone has food poisoning or allergic reactions caused by food.
This is used in the industry: "different food at the same time, different food at the same time." To sum up.
However, for Mu Chen, this system is convenient for him to open a small stove, and he can tell Li Wenjing what he wants to eat every day, to ensure that the color and flavor are complete, and no one has the courage to rob him, and he has a good life.
Three days later, the Grim Reaper entered a strange star field, and everyone's hearts were raised, after all, this is a territory controlled by dark forces, and there are dangers everywhere, and no one dares to take it lightly.
However, something strange happened to Mu Chen, although there were always some interstellar mercenary warships in the strange star field, secretly observing them from afar, but until the fleet arrived at the Fire Star Domain, there was no battle, and the reconnaissance drones sent by Mu Chen were almost stretched out to the mercenaries' faces, and they didn't say anything.
"When did the temper of this group of mercenaries become so good?" Mu Chen controlled a drone and stopped directly on the top of a mercenary warship, thinking that the other party would be annoyed and angry, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time and not respond.
"These guys must have heard of your prestige, Captain, right? I was too scared to move. The co-pilot said with a smile.
"It's useless to talk about it, if this group of outlaws is really afraid of Lao Tzu, they should hide far away, how can they follow like this, this is obviously a sentry from the wind."
"If you don't ask your superiors, we'll just kill them, it's annoying to look at." The Death's weapons officer is a standard militant, and a disagreement is like a hand.
It happened that General Renault came to inquire about the situation again, and Mu Chen said this idea.
"Don't act rashly, let these mercenaries follow if they are willing to follow, don't worry, sooner or later there will be a fight, and you can do it again when the time comes." General Reynolds said.
Without the permission of his superiors, Mu Chen naturally couldn't take action to start a war without permission, but fortunately, these mercenaries didn't seem to be ready to go to war, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.
After continuing to fly for half a day, the fleet arrived at a spaceport in Martian orbit, where both the Giant Whale and the Reaper had to stay for a short time to replenish fresh water and fuel, and the fleet crew could finally rest for a while.
The spaceport in orbit around Mars is not large, but it has a nice name: "God's Wings", I don't know who came up with this name, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit secondary.
Mu Chen entered the spaceport to move, the long flight makes it easy to get tired, and a short rest is necessary.
The wolf girl has also been tired these days, Mu Chen asked her to be vigilant, this woman with solid eyes really hasn't slept for a day, and both eye circles are dark.
"I said you wouldn't really go 10 days without a break, would you?" Mu Chen asked helplessly.
"Hmm." The wolf girl followed behind Mu Chen and responded simply
sounded, and continued to remain vigilant, just like a personal bodyguard.
"I'm also convinced of you, don't drag your body down if you go on like this."
Mu Chen dragged the wolf girl back to the crew rest area of the Grim Reaper and pressed her to the bed.
"You don't have a mission today, give me a good night's sleep, look at your pair of panda eyes, it's like being beaten." Mu Chen said angrily.
carefully helped the wolf girl cover the quilt, but found that the other party's eyes were staring at her without blinking.
"What? Want me to tell you a bedtime story? Mu Chen knew this gaze, when he used to coax his sister to sleep, Mu Yue always used this trick, without telling her a story, and she didn't want to sleep.
"It's not impossible." The wolf girl muttered something quietly, then felt a little embarrassed, and quickly hid her head with the quilt.
It was the first time for the wolf girl to show such a little girl's appearance, Mu Chen looked a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, after all, this is a good thing for the wolf girl, which means that she can finally get out of those things before.
"Go to sleep." Mu Chen rubbed the hair on the wolf girl's head and said with a smile.
The wolf girl smiled slightly, closed her eyes obediently, her heart was warm, she was treated as a child for the first time, this feeling was wonderful, some warm and some nervous, it was difficult to breathe.
It wasn't until Mu Chen turned to leave that the wolf girl took a long breath, her eyes were struggling, staring at the ceiling above her head stupidly, not knowing what she was thinking, and it took a long time to close her eyes again, and she fell asleep beautifully, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly in her sleep......
……
The Grim Reaper was replenishing fuel, and the maintenance team of the ship seized the time to overhaul and maintain the key parts of the battleship.
This trainee maintenance soldier finally passed the assessment a while ago and became a regular, and Mu Chen felt that she was working very hard and left her directly on the Death battleship.
Sakurai Nakako trotted over, with a smile of surprise on her face, and said sweetly: "Muchen, have you come to see me?" ”
The ghost just came to see you, Lao Tzu is just a daily patrol.
"I just made a round around, and I just happened to see you, so I stopped by to say hello." Mu Chen said with a smile.
It's not that he doesn't understand the other party's intentions, in fact, Mu Chen knows very well in his heart that many people, including Park Suyan, Sakurai Zhizi and even the wolf girl, have a good impression of him, and there is always some intimacy in and out of his words on weekdays, but Mu Chen also knows that most of these people still have a purpose, except for the wolf girl, no one else is simple.
Mu Chen also wants to find a girlfriend, and even has a good impression of Laura, but he has never really confessed, on the one hand, he has been busy and has almost no time to rest. On the other hand, she has fewer and fewer opportunities to meet Laura, just like this mission, the Giant Whale is following behind the Grim Reaper, but Mu Chen has not seen her once.
The two no longer work on a battleship, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to meet in the future, which is also a very helpless thing.
There is fierce competition for almost all positions on the space battleship, and no one knows how long they can serve on a battleship, and maybe they will get along day and night
Friends will be transferred out of the next mission, which is something that no one can do.
Mu Chen doesn't want to find a girlfriend for himself, and he can't see each other once in a month or two, isn't this forcing himself to go out of the wall?
To be honest, Mu Chen is still a relatively dedicated person, and he will try to keep his heart and mind when he sees a person, and the things that are fluttering outside are not suitable for him, so he still keeps some distance from those who hint at him.
Sakurai Childe was a little disappointed when she heard Mu Chen's words, but she quickly adjusted and said jokingly: "Mu Chen, you are the captain now, you are a busy man, how long has it been since you came to get together with us?" ”
"There's no way, where the duty is, General Renault is staring at it tightly, and he doesn't have time at all, understand."
"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the battleship is going to rest here today, let's call Lao Zhang and Sister Su Yan and find a place to sit down, right?" Sakurai asked expectantly.
Since he became the captain, he has indeed rarely had a small reunion with the previous crew members, and Mu Chen was also worried that the relationship would be estranged, giving people a feeling of forgetting old friends, so he nodded and agreed to Sakurai's proposal.
"Great, I'll go inform them now, I'll see you at the bar later!" Sakurai said happily, waved his hand and ran towards Lao Zhang.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the maintenance work of the Grim Reaper was over, and Mu Chen walked into a bar with five old fellows from the previous Hurricane fighter maintenance team.
While you can't drink heavily during your mission, it's okay to drink a cocktail with a lower degree.
Mu Chen quickly made a cup for everyone, and the little distance caused by not being in touch for a long time was instantly shortened again.
This is also the characteristic of drinking, no matter where it is, drinking is always the best way to get closer to the relationship, as if there is a kind of magic, a glass of wine in the stomach, the relationship can always be more harmonious.
"Mu Chen, I haven't congratulated you yet, you have been promoted to lieutenant colonel so soon and become a captain." Lao Zhang took the opportunity to have a drink with Mu Chen, he really didn't expect that Mu Chen's promotion speed would be so fast, in just a few months, he has grown from a trainee pilot to this point, no wonder there are always some big people who have contacted him recently, and the meaning of the words is to let him find a way to maintain a good relationship with Mu Chen.
I thought that Mu Chen would look down on his own people when he became the captain, but at a small party in a bar, several maintenance soldiers found that Mu Chen was still the same old look, and there was no captain's shelf at all, which made Lao Zhang and the others feel very comfortable.
"Thank you very much, but I can only say that I am lucky, I didn't even expect to be the captain of the ship."
"I heard people in China say that you can stay on the Grim Reaper as the captain, but General Li Muyu has spent a lot of effort." Lao Zhang inadvertently revealed a piece of news that Mu Chen didn't know.
"I heard that at the beginning, it was planned for you to be the captain of a B-class reconnaissance ship, and this A-class battleship was going to be recovered by the Earth Federation, but General Li flipped the table at the meeting, and finally reached a consensus."
Mu Chen didn't expect that there was such a story here, and his attitude towards Li Muyu changed a little in his heart, no matter what, this old man is still very interesting, try not to quarrel with him next time we meet.
After drinking a cocktail, the group chatted for a while before returning to the Grim Reaper, where the fleet had been resupplied and ready to depart at any time.
