The old maid opened the door to the cottage, and McCarthy gracefully leaned over and asked, "Ladies first." Astrid lowered her head and put it on the brim, hiding her face in the gloom that had risen at first, and said, "But it is disrespectful." ”

"Colonel." The moment Paltrow saw the door move, he stood up from the grape trellis stool, straightened his skirt in twos and threes, and his eyes flashed with almost unconcealable jealousy, but he still looked at Astrid first, and then smiled and said, "Colonel." ”

"Lieutenant." McCarthy naturally smiled with a courtesy type. Sure enough, it was the eldest son. Astrid thought and immediately ordered, "Lieutenant Paltrow, lead the way to the cryo-dormant area." ”

Admiral Tyran listened to Astrid's brief report, groaned slightly, agreed to her request, and even assigned her an additional destroyer. But the condition is that if the situation is at risk of getting out of control, whether the commandos in the ship withdraw or not, the accompanying fleet will sink the freighter mercilessly. Where is this a condition? Astrid immediately promised, and at the invitation of the Admiral, the three of them drank a pot of pure Darjeeling black tea, and the Admiral even asked the maid to get a pre-war photo album from the cellar, and several photos of the gathering of senior Hexagon officers appeared in the young Astrid, who was only three or four years old at the time.

"Eighteen changes in the female college? It's not on you, beautiful and innocent as always, Linda. As soon as the admiral said this, the two young men all smiled meaningfully. Pure？ Pure? Before I was seventeen, I dared to pretend to be a pure liar and trick the uncle on the street into buying me a beer. But Astrid smiled and said, "It's still funny, Uncle Tyran." ”

The underwater covered bridge is still dark, the green eyes and gray blue pupils have become excellent predatory targets, and the huge mutant creatures are trying to attack the covered bridge, the first is the sea king squid, the tentacles twist the super tough plastic gold of the covered bridge, but the cavity dragon quietly attacked, the mouth and jaw sucked into the squid's entire head, and the two hundreds of tons of ocean overlords instantly fought to the death.

"Regardless of evolutionary degradation, they are essentially animals." McCarthy walked with each one constantly. "Yes, we are the worthy rulers of the planet, yesterday, today, and tomorrow." Astrid needs to pick up his feet to keep up with McCarthy, and as for Paltrow? She didn't dare to drag Astrid anymore, so she had to trot all the way without tears.

"My ID." Outside the dormant area, the soldiers on duty symbolically inspected their black papers and opened the cabin. Wear a thick cloak to keep out the cold. "Admiral Tyran's warrant." McCarthy presented a written document stamped with the Admiral's seal and a unique electronic monogram, and the staff manipulator hoisted Dr. Davis's hibernation pod. Through a thick layer of glass, Astrid watched the Doctor curled up like a baby wrapped in a breathing nutrient solution. I've been here for 60 years. Astrid looked around at the superimposed hibernation pods that looked like mountains. In the past, they also treated me as a baby waiting to be fed. She thought.

Just as Astrid had woken up, the doctor lay in the nurse's arms, retching violently. Three officers stood in front. "Dr. Mark Davis? Are you the developer of hyperspectral and invisible camouflage technology? Astrid rubbed the leather on the brim of her hat with her hands behind her back.

The Doctor put on a one-piece down jacket like a frozen ghost. After all, I only have one, she thought. "Major Josephine is asking you a question, doctor." McCarthy said. The new nurse has seen such a battle, and the admiral's son has come in person? She hurriedly whispered to the doctor.

"It's me, an inch is good." The doctor barely finished speaking, and then he vomited wildly again with the cleaning bucket. Astrid nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, report to my office tomorrow." Turning around, she rubbed her nose. Disgusting, she thought. McCarthy said so, and the two looked at each other and raised the corners of their lips.

Sending the little cow away, Astrid rested her legs on the corner of her desk in her office. His gaze gradually advanced to the base of his thighs along the line of his red pants. How many people want to get her? This problem is destined to exist for at least twenty years. It would be longer, she thought, so Astrid walked to the office wall stander. She removed a standard M5 rifle and looked through the rifle's eye-catching sights, and in the mirror, another woman was aiming at her with a gun.

Full-metal slut, isn't it?

The next morning, Dr. Davis, who was in a wheelchair with salt water, was wheeled into his office. Astrid was not interested in the Doctor's mood, she was only interested in completing Operation Pluto. She pulled the doctor's finger with a spring breeze on her face, pressed her fingerprint on the non-disclosure agreement, and leaked the details of Pluto's operation without permission, guilt, and execution.

At the end of the holographic projection, Dr. Davis muttered: "The ghosts in the video are not light and shadow, they do not belong to the visible spectrum, they die at the touch of a button, and ceramics have the ability to block ghosts. You're right, Major, it's man-made, it's not natural......"

"To get to the point, doctor, what is the ghost, where are the weaknesses, and how should the army deal with it." Astrid interrupted the doctor directly. "I need an explanation, now!"

"Condensed matter." The Doctor said, meeting Astrid in the eye as if he had just been released from a mental hospital. She thought. "Bose-Einstein condensate, a form of matter that has been predicted as early as the last century, is not used in liquid, gaseous, and solid states, and the condensed matter has abnormal properties, which will be slowed down by pure iron filings and cannot pass through porcelain, but under certain special conditions, the condensed matter can pass through any wall that does not contain porcelain, and the temperature of the condensed matter is close to absolute zero, so it will die at the touch of a button, and there will be no escape, which can explain why the skin of the soldier is corroded and the internal organs are frozen after death."

"Go on, I'll listen." Astrid took the two cups from the cup tray and poured in the instant coffee powder.

"The creation of Bose-Einstein required a lot, a huge amount of energy, so much so that the energy consumption of my previous research was nothing in the face of condensed matter shaping." The doctor sniffed the mellow coffee in the air and said, "I ......"

"This also explains why the Lake Balaton has become a nuclear-powered freighter of all kinds." Astrid was just about to pass the coffee cup when she remembered that the Awakening Officer's stomach was too weak to tolerate coffee/indication. It's a pity, so leave it to my little cow, may she produce more milk. Astrid sipped her coffee.

"Uncontrolled condensation is extremely dangerous, the freighter's condensed matter experiment must have failed a few months ago, and I'm curious as to why these condensed matter ghosts are humanoid, it doesn't make sense, why not spherical ......" The doctor fell into professional confusion, and Astrid drank the cup of coffee in one gulp, and then picked up another cup.

Astrid stared at Dr. Davis oppressively and said, "I'm going to come to the door to thank you and talk about physics when I'm done, so, doctor, what weapon can destroy condensed matter?" ”

The doctor smacked his lips and said weakly: "As long as the energy discharge field exists, or is in a confinement cage, it is impossible to destroy the condensed matter, at most it will be disintegrated by emitting a focused energy pulse from the plasma discharge gun, I must explain that once an excessively strong energy fluctuation causes the possible confinement cage to rupture, the consequences cannot be predicted!" ”

Your old lady suffers in vain, Major. Astrid recalls the scene after rushing out of the cargo ship, the condensate was close to her but missed, but she stupidly risked sinking to the bottom and jumped into the sea, wearing an exoskeleton! Ignoring the Doctor's last words, Astrid stood up, leaned over to shake the Doctor's hand, and said, "Very well, now your job is to work with the engineers to create the weapons that the army needs." ”

After the doctor left, Paltrow came uninvited. "I can see that things are going well, your expression tells me." Paltrow presented a paper order from Lieutenant General Williams. Ah, my mech. "Please convey my thanks to the general."

"As for you......" Astrid called out to the departing cow, her expression telling a lot. Astrid propped her hand on the edge of the table and said, "Tonight, I have a gift for you." ”

Early morning a week later.

Paltrow respectfully put on Astrid's uniform, then crouched down and put on his boots. The so-called gift, a transfer order, from the lieutenant general's office, Polly Paltrow was transferred from Lieutenant General Williams's chief female secretary to the head of the newly opened First Mecha Division's Internal Liaison Office. To put it bluntly, Astrid is asking for a little cow to be her "secretary". As for whether it is an office secretary or a life secretary, in private, she has the final say.

"Take care of yourself, you stink like a street girl in the red light district, if you still look like a slut embryo when I come back, I swear, I will send you to the secondary outpost to be a street girl." Astrid lowered her head and kicked the little cow. This ribbon is really faded, I have to get a new one, I don't know if there is any such material......

"Yes, sir." Paltrow sat to her knees with a boot kick, her long messy hair covering her face, and she whispered. "Then get moving, bitch." Astrid walked out of her private room and slid the door shut, smiling at her colleagues. Your mecha Valkyrie is going into battle again, she thought.

The firearms engineers worked overtime urgently to transform dozens of plasma-type M6 Beowulf rifles, which were directly charged by the mecha shaped energy module. Similarly, the explosive reactive armor on the outside of the mech has been changed to an anti-gravity levitating ceramic plate. No matter how rampant the condensate is, before the Poseidon army has mastered the laws of operation, it will be just a bug with a big point after all.

Loaded with enough equipment to arm two mech platoons, the USS Yellowstone was hoisted into the destroyer, and this time, Astrid had sixty elite soldiers from the 1st Mech Battalion at his disposal. These lads, who had grown up listening to Valkyrie stories, looked at Astrid on stage like reverence for the marshal.

"I, Astrid Theresa Andrea Josephine, swear by military honor that I will bring back victory, a perfect victory." Astrid's gaze extended to Colonel McCarthy Tyran, who applauded enthusiastically from the audience, and Lieutenant General George Williams, who took the time to arrive. She ended the pre-war speech with such perseverance.

Applause, thunder.
