Dead Mercury Zone, on the territory of the Republic.

An ultra-small carrier spaceship was sailing in the starry sky of the desert, lonely and lonely. Inside the spaceship was a young man from the Republic, dancing and swaying to the music, humming a song to the music.

The young man was Morning Star, and at this time he had been away from ItGleason for more than ten days. As the old saying goes, there is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year, and the morning star at this moment basically belongs to such a state.

Morningstar, who had secretly left Itgleason, had experienced the most difficult experience of his life, the warm nephrite, the delicious food, the good friends and relatives were gone, and in this small spaceship, Morningstar lived in the dark, completely without the concept of time. Tired to sleep, hungry to eat, wake up in a daze, occasionally sing a few words with music, but the pentatonic is also incomplete, out of tune.

Throwing the paper tube that was used as a microphone out with a big grin, Morning Star took out a tube of military nutritious meals from the food storage cabinet on the side, frowned, pinched his nose and took a bite hard, and then stuck out his tongue and made a "slightly" sound. Opening the star map and looking at the halfway distance, Morningstar hammered his head hard, then finished the nutritious meal in one go, and fell into the driver's seat with shortness of breath.

Morningstar's weakness and madness were all self-inflicted. After leaving Itgleeson, Morningstar did not choose a public route to Xingxinjing, the capital of the Republic, but let the ship's central control system choose a so-called shortest route, bypassing most of the space-time passages. Morningstar is riding on a small spaceship named Bianzhou, which has been modified by Anshidar and has excellent performance. The powerful power of the ship on top of the light hull makes this small ship like a nimble dancer, unleashing its enthusiasm in the starry sky. In the first few days, Morning Star could comfort himself with the punishment of loneliness for leaving relatives and friends and lover, but after a long time, Morning Star became like this.

Morning Star, who was relieved, asked the star map in front of him, "Bian Zhou, you must be lying to me!" Why are we so slow and haven't reached our destination yet! ”

The central control system of the boat can recognize human language and can communicate with humans in a simple way. After a moment of silence, the mechanized voice of the flat boat sounded: "After calculation, this route is set exactly according to your needs, and we can reach our destination at the scheduled time." ”

"Don't be so serious, okay? Can't you just give me a roll of the eyes and stimulate me a few more words, like the Queen? It's so boring! Morningstar grabbed his hair and said weakly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Anshidar didn't set such a function for me, and the Queen is an intelligent personality, and I'm just a simple system." Bian Zhou is still serious.

"Oh my God! Forgive me for being willful! I can't eat this damn nutritious meal anymore, I want meat! Quinn, I'm going to eat what you cooked! Morningstar was still crazy, and he recalled Quinn's cooking skills in his mind, and he unconsciously drooled.

……

"Nourish...... Multiply...... Unknown ships, please show your sailing permit! And stop nearby for inspection! ”

Just when Morningstar was about to collapse from boredom, a communication rang in Morningstar's ears.

The boat automatically locked on to the ship that sent the communication through positioning, and in the zoomed-in image, a ship with the mark of the First Space Fleet of the Republic appeared in front of Morning Star, and behind it, it looked like a small fleet. As if on some escort mission, the fleet regularly revolved around a civilian ship in the middle, and the calculation of the boat's course showed that this fleet would pass by itself.

Morningstar understood the reason why the other party was so cautious, but he was extremely unhappy with the other party's domineering. Even if there is a mission, even if it is a big man who is protected, it is unreasonable to let his ship dock and be inspected. All space-traveling vessels in the Republic are issued a license with a randomly generated password. Although the cipher is generated randomly, there is also a special algorithm, and the official ships of the Republic are equipped with a device to recognize such ciphers. Usually, you only need to present this password to pass the verification.

Morning Star connected to the video connection, and on the opposite side was a young Republic soldier, who was obviously stunned after seeing Morning Star, and then adjusted his facial expression and said, "Please show your permission to sail!" ”

Morningstar showed the other party the permission to sail, and the soldier on the screen entered the code on the instrument and nodded to an officer behind him, proving the authenticity of the permission to sail.

The officer was a young man in his twenties, and he was supposed to be a cadet who came to this ship for internship. Morningstar smacked his lips, wondering which high-ranking official's son this young man was. His internship life was arranged on the Alpha 137 on the border of the Republic, and the one in front of him was in the hinterland of the Republic, which is very different. However, at this time, Chenxing was only slandered, and he was not interested in the identity of the other party at all, and replied lightly: "Can I go?" ”

The young soldier was about to open his mouth to let go, but he heard the officer behind him say: "I asked you to stop nearby for inspection, but you didn't hear?" ”

"Why?" Morningstar's mood was much worse, and his tone became a little stiffer.

"My words are the reason!" The young officer on the opposite side also resented Morning Star's non-cooperation, and his answer was even more arrogant.

"Stupid!" Compared to arrogance, Morning Star is not worthy of the other party at all, how could Morning Star, who has blood on his hands and has refused the Order of the Alliance Ranger, be frightened by such an unknown young officer, and his emotions that have been a little out of control these days have directly turned into a foul sentence and returned to the other party.

The young officer did not lose control of his emotions because of these words, but said in an indifferent voice: "I am the trainee commander of the Heavenly Wolf Military Academy in the Dead Mercury District, and my name is Song Siyuan. We are on an escort mission, and the protected person is Xie Shiyu, a famous singer of the Republic, and now because you appear in a non-civilian waterway, I need your cooperation in the inspection. ”

Morning Star couldn't help laughing when he heard the other party's self-introduction, and said, "Hey, Commander Song, are you on a security mission for the first time?" You're a rookie! How can there be security personnel who take the initiative to report their protection targets? Are you kidding me? ”

Song Siyuan blushed at Chenxing's words, and wanted to use Xie Shiyu's name to suppress this arrogant kid, but he didn't expect to make such a huge mistake, and still said stiffly: "I just need you to stop for inspection, and the rest has nothing to do with you!" ”

Morningstar suddenly lost interest in such a rookie, and asked rhetorically, "Then what do you mean by reporting these names?" Pressing me with your identity? ”

"You can understand it this way." Song Siyuan replied without scruples, he didn't recognize Morning Star. At this moment, Morning Star's hair is messy, his clothes are casual, and because of his irregular schedule, he has two dark circles under his eyes, which is very different from the image he once appeared in the media.

Hearing Song Siyuan's words, Morning Star had bad thoughts again. The best way to deal with people who are accustomed to suppressing others with their status is to press back with a higher status than him. After tidying up his clothes and turning around to clean up his messy hair, Morning Star stood in front of the communicator again and said in a low voice: "I am a student from the Mecha Combat Department of the Capital Xingyan Huang Military Academy, my name is Morning Star!" Rank Captain! I have been awarded the Imperial Medal of Courage, I have refused the Order of the Alliance Ranger, the son of the real Dragon's Tooth Layton, the lover of the eldest princess of the Empire, the actual owner of the Star Itglea, the winner of the last Republic Mecha Competition, and the Alliance people call me the Alpha 137 Butcher, do you think these are enough to refuse your unreasonable demands? Rookie. ”

With Morning Star's narration, the young soldier had unconsciously opened his mouth, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground, while the young officer named Song Siyuan had an increasingly ugly face, and finally became the color of pig liver.

Turning off the communicator, Morningstar sat back in the driver's seat, and the previous pretense actually made him feel much better, and he completely walked out of that crazy state. got up and walked to the bathroom behind him, took a hot bath, re-combed his hair in the mirror, and carefully cut two pieces of fruit and put them on his dark circles, and the changed clothes of Morning Star said to the star map in the driver's seat: "Okay, crazy enough, depraved, happily pretended to be an X, and now we have to face life again!" Skiff! Let's go! Full-power space jump, target the second space-time channel of the Dead Mercury sector! ”

In the convoy, Song Siyuan had just recovered from the previous shock, and he had always been accustomed to comparing himself with others with his own status, and he was surprised to find that he had no advantage in front of Morning Star, even his father, who was the CEO of the Dead Mercury Region, was at most comparable to Layton in front of him. Clenched his fists, Song Siyuan said in a low voice: "Mecha combat department!" You will definitely participate in the three-way mecha competition, and I will definitely defeat you! Make you pay for your arrogance today! The young soldier had no sympathy for Song Siyuan's point of view at all, and he said in his heart that it was not because you pretended to be forced in front of the big star that this kind of humiliation was caused, but he respectfully retired and left the command room.

At the moment when the young soldier just left the command room, the small ship of the morning star on the monitoring screen almost disappeared into the space jump, and the space jump with almost no acceleration process made Song Siyuan's legs tremble.

……

Itgleason, Morningstar's departure did not have the slightest effect on the mass production movement, and on the tenth day after Morningstar's departure, follow-up aid from the Empire arrived. Vestock didn't disappoint Morningstar, most of the aid troops were women, and you could tell how excited they were by looking at the faces of the fighters in charge of greeting them. Work is a must work, if you can have a bit of love after work, then the days will become more rushed.

Along with this batch of troops, there was also an order from Vistock to recall Katarina. In the absence of the Morning Star, Caterina could be said to have nothing to do on Itglea, and this order gave Caterina a reason to leave, and held a grand farewell ceremony, and the eldest princess of the empire stepped on the ship home, returning with the security forces sent by Vistock.

After a few days of high-intensity travel, Morningstar finally arrived at Xinjing, the capital of the Republic, and the upcoming last period of his student career made Morningstar quite excited.

Leaving the ship in the custody of the Xinjing Defense Force, Morning Star, who landed on public transport, is about to start another part of his life.
