Chapter 1 Bars
The rain poured down, knocking on Mo Ran's BX-02 heavy armor. Neither Mo Ran nor Rogge had any intention of continuing the conversation. After all, tomorrow is their graduation ceremony, and then they will join the Sky Wolf. Then take a spaceship to where they are needed in the galaxy.
As for whether it will be a return of honor or a horse leather shroud, no one knows. Tomorrow has not been thought about yet, who has so much energy to think about the future. However, Mo Ran knew that his senior had only been out for a year.
Thinking of the seniors who always took them to the girls' dormitory building to climb the wall to see the girls, Mo Ran just felt that the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.
"That's Zog's family over there." Rogge on the side whispered, he was not as tall as Mo Ran, and he was often teased. However, he often says. "You know, on the battlefield, the taller you are, the easier it is to be targeted."
Although it always feels a little awkward to explain, it is speechless. There are arguments to support his point.
Mo Ran looked up at a few figures not far away who were standing in the rain, holding umbrellas and wearing black suits. At the head of the group is a middle-aged man and woman, their faces as pale as paper, and there will be the end of their trip.
Watching the coffin slowly descend, standing not far away, a senior in the same class as Zorg shouted. "Stand upright, salute." His voice was loud and penetrating, echoing through the rain.
"Smack." Neat upright, BX-02 heavy armor crashed, and all the students attending the funeral saluted. The six ceremonial soldiers standing in front of the cadets raised their guns and fired into the sky, then neatly retracted, loaded their bullets, and fired again. After doing this three times, he stood still in the rain.
The warrior who had been following the coffin placed the flag in his hand on top of the coffin, and then the coffin gradually fell.
It's a big cemetery. After so many years of war, I don't know how many heroes have been buried here. Zog is not the first, nor will he be the last. The funeral was very short, and Mo Ran went back to school with his classmates. Only Zog's family, still next to the tombstone, and their departed backs remained.
That night, Zog and Wang Hao invited Mo Ran to the bar in the academy. The bar is closed all year round and only opens until a new batch of colleges graduates. At this time, the vast majority of people in the academy will come.
Mo Ran thought for a while, originally he wanted to continue to learn the language of the Protoss, after all, if he wanted to deal with the Protoss in the future, he must be familiar with the language of the Protoss. Moreover, over the years, the language of the Protoss has gradually become the lingua franca of the Protoss allies. However, when he saw that Rogge and Wang Hao were going there, he also cleaned up briefly, and then rushed over.
The bar is huge, usually mostly blocked, and only opens at this time. Mo Ran wore a tight-fitting dark blue military uniform, which was very eye-catching among the large group of young men and women in formal dresses and formal attire. But there are many people like him. At least Mo Ran saw the same girl in a military uniform sitting alone at the bar in the bar, drinking fruit wine.
This girl, Mo Ran naturally knows, the school flower of this military academy. Although such a comparison is not of much use, in modern society, people have the right to change their face and even gender through various means. So the streets are full of all kinds of beautiful women and handsome guys. However, military schools do not allow this. Therefore, it has also become a clear stream in society.
Of course, compared to male officers who go to the front after graduation, most female officers are fleet officers and logistics personnel.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Ran couldn't help but walk over. There is no one else around Ye Luo, not because she is not good, but because she is too good. Of course, no one thinks that they are worse than others, but most people end in tragedy. Gradually, all kinds of gossip came out.
"Is there anyone in this position?" Mo Ran walked over and asked. Of course, he didn't wait for an answer, but he sat down.
"The position doesn't like you." Ye Luo didn't respond much, just said simply, glancing at him. She naturally knew about the rumors in the school, maybe the person in front of her was one of the rumors, so she didn't have much of a good impression of the boys in the academy.
The maglev chair sank slightly, and it was still very comfortable to sit on. "Bring me a glass of apple juice." Alcohol or something is not recommended in the military school, which leads to Mo Ran not liking to drink.
The robot behind the bar is a beautiful woman in the shape of a human.
A long time ago, it was suggested that some high-risk and hazardous occupations should be replaced by robots. However, another group of people are afraid of the birth of machine intelligence, after all, countless complicated information materials are mixed together, and it is still possible to give birth to simple intelligence at the computing speed of robots.
Although science has been able to solve most of the problems and explain a large number of problems, there are more and more things that are not understood. For example, the birth of thinking. As some people say, the mind itself is composed of a large number of complex thoughts, simple combinations.
However, if robots have the means to deal with similar problems, then it is only a matter of time before intelligence is born, and in the end humans and robots will have to decide who is in charge of whom.
This is absolutely not allowed, so although the scope of the use of robots has expanded compared to before, those places that need to think and deal with problems are still within the scope of humans.
"Okay." The robot behind the bar smiled, then turned to get ready.
"If you mean that the chair has been lowered a bit, I don't think anyone would be welcome with a chair." Mo Ran said with a smile. Maybe because tomorrow is the day to go to Tianluo before graduation, Mo Ran himself is also a little bolder, if it is usual, such a thing, he will never say it.
Ye Luo looked Mo Ran up and down, and didn't say anything. Maybe it's because of tomorrow's graduation. She didn't want to say anything more, so she let Mo Ran sit next to her.
"By the way, where did you go after graduation?" After the robot brought the apple juice, Mo Ran asked her.
"What, does this have anything to do with you?" Ye Luo asked rhetorically, she was a little disgusted by Mo Ran's questioning. She didn't like people who chattered like that.
"It doesn't matter." Mo Ran whispered and took a sip of apple juice. "It seems that one of the largest spaceship manufacturers in the Celestial Empire seems to be surnamed Ye." For such a thing, many people have said it, and Mo Ran has naturally heard it.
As if asking something that shouldn't be asked, Ye Luo frowned and wanted to leave.
"I attended the funeral of a senior today, and I think I should also enter the mobile unit after that, I don't know if I will be carried back!" Mo Ran whispered, he didn't notice Ye Luo's attitude, he just wanted to talk now.
Hearing Mo Ran's words, Ye Luo was slightly stunned, and his heart to leave was also put away, Mo Ran seemed to be a little different from those who wanted to get close to him. Of course, Ye Luo naturally encountered more things than Mo Ran, and knew more.
Some of the mobile units are called mobile troops, but the less pleasant ones are death squads. Although it is called a very elite team by human beings themselves, human beings are weak on the platform of the entire universe. Most of the battles that can be participated in are also in the ranks of sending people to death.
This is something that many people don't know, and it's a civilized sorrow that the government naturally won't say.
"Today, I saw the senior's funeral, his parents crying. I was thinking, if this is my funeral, then who cares? Mo Ran smiled bitterly. He was orphaned and was taken in by the dean five years ago. He didn't even know his own parents. At that time, there may only be a guard of honor and a priest arranged by the academy! If it rains, there may not even be a pastor.
Thinking of this, Mo Ran took a large sip of apple juice.
Ye Luo didn't know how to answer, maybe it was very good to listen quietly at this time. She could not imagine what would happen to the mobile unit. It would take several months just to take the spaceship to the battlefield, and then add the time it took for the corpses to be transported back, so it can be said that Mo Ran's senior died as soon as he arrived on the battlefield. Even the corpses were sent back in tight wraps.
"Sorry for saying something not so good." Mo Ran cleaned up his mood, tonight should be a happy night, after all, tomorrow has its own troubles tomorrow. When I was in the military school, I still needed to worry about the assessment and training in the future, but I will graduate tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about those things anymore.
Bitter smile.
Ye Luo didn't know how to comfort him, not to mention that it was not only the young man in front of him who had entered the mobile unit, most of the men here tonight were going to enter the mobile unit. Only a few will enter the staff with excellent cunning.
And herself, he already knew which battleship he was going to serve. It was the Hokram, the most advanced flagship of the Earth Federation, and arguably the safest warship. The Hokram battleship, which is made of Bosi elements in large quantities, is rare even in the Protoss.
If the Hokram is destroyed, it will be when the human team in the galaxy is wiped out. Humanity cannot afford such a loss.
So, the Hokram is sometimes not just a combat flagship, but more often a symbol of not falling.
"Ha, I said how could Mo Ran not come." Just when there was some silence between the two, Rogge held his wine glass and said with a smile to Wang Hao on the side, and then squeezed through the crowd and walked over.
When he saw Ye Luo on the side, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled. "I suddenly remembered that there was something else, Wang Hao, where are you going to go little cub? Didn't you say you were going to dance? Seeing that Wang Hao still didn't understand, Rogge just wanted to kick over.
Hearing Rogge's words, Wang Hao also smiled, and then turned around and left with Rogge.
