Chapter 5 The Mechanic Shop

Gleos City is located in the easternmost part of the Hanhaixing Continental Plate.

And if the planet is a plane, then standing on the east coast of the city of Gles, looking east with the Empire's most advanced optical telescope, you can see the west coast defense line of the Hanhai military fortress located at the westernmost end of the continental plate.

During this period, the sea is extremely flat, and there is no half of the islands and reefs, and the view is unobstructed.

Under the star orbit, a planetary vehicle travels at exaggerated speeds, even across half a planet, and at the speed of an empire that has experienced an unknown number of engine revolutions today, it takes less than two hours.

However, today's flying machine seems to be flying a little tremblingly.

Also, if someone were to stand in the sky and observe from the outside, with a telescope, they would probably be able to see that the aircraft was locked to the flight path by more than ten planetary railguns throughout the whole process.

As long as one of the cannons misses, then the hundreds of people of the empire on the entire flying machine can go to meet the great Hades.

The alarm in the cabin flashed red frequently, and the alarm sound indicating that the deadly weapon was locked did not stop, and the faces of all the passengers turned a little pale.

By the window, the teenager wearing a T-shirt was a little impatient, thinking that if he knew it was so noisy, he would take a direct train by land, but it would only be an extra hour.

Looking around left and right, a middle-aged fat man next to him was trembling, and his head was sweating like rain, and the young man directly reached out and took off the soundproof earmuffs from his head and put them on his earmuffs.

Then pat the other person's already soaked shoulder.

"It's okay, the railgun won't fire easily, I'll wear the earmuffs for you, and it's good for your body to listen to the siren."

Ha!? The middle-aged fat man almost couldn't control his temper and flew up and sat on the other party to death, but suddenly thought that he had just been cut off a kidney, and the young man estimated that there were two intact ones, so he dared to look at the other party angrily.

…… Stinky rascals!

…… Imperial scum!

…… Stare at you!

And the boy was already snoring.

At this moment, the aircraft happened to pierce into a long thundercloud area, and suddenly a lightning bolt slashed in front of his eyes, as if it was slashing at himself through the glass! The fat man was so frightened that he instantly covered his eyes and shrank into a ball.

After a few seconds, his fingers crept open, and he saw the body of the young man next to him tremble, and countless tiny arcs of electricity made a sound of Zrazla on him.

"Let you snatch my earmuffs, I was struck by lightning! Deserve! ”

The fat man didn't shout for help, but stared at the boy and smiled haughtily, with a sense of satisfaction as if he was favored by the gods, and his buttocks quietly moved out a little, and it didn't take long for him to snore.

The last thought before going to bed was a little guilty, he felt that what the young man who was struck by lightning seemed to be right, otherwise why did he feel that the alarm was no longer noisy, and the place where there was a kidney missing in the back felt a lot more comfortable?

The aircraft travels through an area of rare large thunderstorms.

From time to time, lightning penetrated the window that Qin Bandit was leaning on, and fell on him into a small arc of electricity, which quickly seeped into the skin and disappeared.

It's a little weird, but no one sees it.

In this area of a large thunderstorm, and the sound of screeching sirens, all the passengers in the cabin fell asleep.

Two hours later, the aircraft crashed into the landing field of Gleis City, and the sleeping passengers woke up one after another.

When Qin Bandit opened his eyes, he saw the middle-aged fat man next to him staring at him like a ghost.

The middle-aged fat man saw Qin Bandit take off his earmuffs, and blurted out: "Little brother, Lei didn't hack you to death!?" ”

"How do you talk!"

Qin Bandit glared at the other party, threw the soundproof earmuffs he had snatched into his arms, and dropped the sentence 'Thank you, a good man has a safe life', Shi Shiran got up and left.

It's a matter of politeness to thank someone else for using something.

I'm doing a great job! He gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

……

Because of its proximity to the east coast, the day dawns in the city of Grith earlier than the continental plate to the west.

Therefore, when the Qin bandits took the traffic rail car from the side of the landing field and got off at the end of the coastal long street on the east coast, the sun was rising.

However, the fog on the beach in the early morning obscures a lot of light, which also makes the city of Grise, as well as many cities on the east coast of Hanhaixing, look a little different every morning.

The doors of a shabby-looking mechanical repair shop had been opened, and an old man sat in the doorway, his head bowed, as if carefully tending to the beef stewed in an iron pot on the stove.

The smell of meat is mixed with the smell of various motor oils that seem to be inseparable in the shop, and molecules are entangled with each other passively or actively, producing an extremely strange smell.

Qin Bandit touched his face, which had been cleaned up before he came back, and stood on the street looking at the old man with his back to him.

In addition to his gray hair like an old man, he had long been accustomed to the old man's face that was more delicate than a woman, so what he was staring at at the moment was actually an insignificant scar on the back of the old man's neck, which was blocked by the placket.

Many people on the long street know that the old man fell and scratched his neck in his early years, and since then, there has been a scar on the back of his neck.

Of course, this is not the truth of the matter.

For most things, the truth is generally troublesome.

And when it comes to the old man, it is a big trouble.

Otherwise, he would not have been so nervous after the arrival of the Third Fleet of the Empire and the Hanhai Military Fortress issued the Hanhaixing blockade order.

The Qin bandit habitually tilted his head and touched the back of his neck, and in this position, there was an identity chip that showed that he was a subject of the empire.

This is not only a passport for the people of the empire to travel to the galaxy, but also a countermeasure for the empire to infiltrate the Covenant on the other side of the Desolate Star Domain.

It is said that this mechanism has protected the security of the empire for nearly three thousand years.

This is the first part of the popular science book called "Our Empire".

Suddenly, his face changed slightly.

There are no green onions in the beef stew!

Walking quickly to the old man, the old man looked up, and the eyes on his delicate face were slightly sharp.

However, the two looked at each other and did not speak.

Qin Bandit quickly opened the iron pot, looking at the white foam boiling on the edge of the broth that had not yet been juiced inside, and sure enough, there was no shadow of the green onion segment found inside.

"Cut it yourself!"

As if knowing what Qin Bandit wanted to say, the old man's voice was slightly hoarse, and then he quickly lowered his head and stared at the communication screen in his hand that was connected to the local LAN of Hanhaixing.

The blonde and blue-eyed, convex and backward woman danced hotly on the screen, all kinds of seductive actions took turns, and the gift information on the screen was even hotter.

Qin Bandit knew about this female anchor who was quite famous in Hanhaixing, but he only knew it, or because of the old man.

"You see her from a young girl to a young woman, but you give someone a reward of even a piece of imperial coin!"

Qin Bandit sighed and walked into the shop very speechlessly.

Behind him, the old man complained dissatisfied, saying that what you kid said was, and it wasn't me who changed her from a girl to a young woman!

Qin Bandit didn't pay attention, standing in the shop and looking around, except for a batch of different models and different types of faulty equipment to be repaired in the operation room, everything else has not changed.

The operating room is on the left, the kitchen is on the right, and the green onions are in the freezer. After peeling it, wash it and cut it into sections, walk to the door and throw it into the pot, Qin Bandit pulled a seat that could change its form freely, and sat down with the old man around the small stove left and right.

At this time, the female anchor happened to be off the air, and the old man twisted some fine salt from the spice box with his charred fingertips and threw it into the boiling pot.

It looks a little unclean.

But Qin Bandit turned a blind eye, in essence, a life that was even more unclean than this, and he and the old man also gritted their teeth and walked all the way.

"The Third Fleet is coming, don't be careful."

Of course, the old man knew the purpose of Qin Bandit's sudden return, and he didn't make a detour.

"But at this juncture, you hurriedly ran back, and there really must be someone who cares about the grass and rabbits and looks behind you, which is a bit dazzling."

Qin Bandit wants to say that the beginning and the end are clean, and the logic makes sense when he comes back, if he doesn't take the opportunity to take a vacation after doing things this time, it will be called dazzling. But he suddenly paused, looked at the old man and said, "The fortress has opened a powerful magnetic interference curtain, how do you know that the Third Fleet is coming?" ”

"The First Fleet has been guarding the western frontier for forty years, and no one dares to act rashly with the Bawest Federation."

"The Second Fleet will only be in the Tiannan Star Domain for a longer time, and there is a risk of a high-intensity war breaking out over there at any time."

"It is the duty of the royal family to be the last barrier of the empire, and unless the royal family and those major families all nod, it is impossible to leave the capital star field one step."

"If a single fleet can make such a big move in the star field, is there only the third fleet left cruising the star field!?"

The old man seemed to hate iron and steel, and his fingers were not too hot to be by the stove, and his tone was stern.

“…… It's really easy to be stupid when you are a soldier! ”

Watching the old man walk into the house with the wind, Qin Bandit stared at the beef stew that had entered the juice collection stage, with a suspicious expression.

I always felt that something was wrong with the old man's words, but I couldn't find a logical loophole and couldn't refute it.

After all, the location and movement of the first and second fleets of the empire are things that the people of the empire can know casually?
