Chapter 5: The Forgotten Package
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lu An was kicked out of the ward.
"She is a patient who has just woken up and needs to rest. Don't you know? โ
Lu An, who was reprimanded, had no choice but to let go of the hand that was tightly held by Anna. The younger sister had a pleading look on her face, so that Lu An could only coax and coax helplessly, so that she could rest obediently and rest at ease.
Afterwards, Lu An returned to the empty campus and returned to the dormitory that had been empty before.
There is no need to be vigilant to guard my sister tonight, and the living room in the house is also a little narrow, and the sofa is not as comfortable as sleeping in the bedroom, so Lu An did not go home.
Although, his and Anna's home is actually closer to the hospital.
Fortunately, now that his roommate has returned, he no longer has to be alone in the empty dormitory.
It's just, it seems that something is going on-
"Ah, I forgot to pick up that strange package."
Walking out of the door of the medical center, Lu An patted his head and remembered what Lin Yongping "said" before going out in the afternoon.
However, he then shook his head again.
After stepping out of the constant temperature and comfort of the medical center, he really didn't want to be surrounded by the sweltering heat of the summer night, and walked through the long campus to the security office at the school gate to pick up that strange package.
Smacking his lips, Lu An immediately found a good reason for himself.
"Forget it, let's go tomorrow. It's all at this time, wake up the fat man in the security department, he will scold me to death. โ
In fact, there is more than the risk of being scolded.
The fat man in the security office was not very good-tempered, which was famous throughout the Third Military Academy.
It's just a trivial matter to scold him at every turn, and even people often complain that he was beaten violently. Sometimes, because it was just a few jokes that were circulating, the fat man openly rushed into the classroom and beat the students.
It's just that for some reason, although there have been countless complaints from teachers and students, this fat man can stay in the security office safely, and still show off his power in the school every day.
Therefore, everyone privately speculated that this fat man must be the illegitimate son of the principal.
"I'd better go back and wash up and sleep early. If it's too late, I'll have to make Young Master Lin wait for a long time. โ
After Lu An returned to the bedroom, he was surprised to find that Lin Yongping in the opposite room had the door closed.
Maybe the long journey back from Mars made Lin Yongping exhausted, so he fell asleep so early.
Usually, Lin Yongping would always sit on the sofa and read a book until late. Even sometimes, when Lu An came back late at night, he was still sitting on the sofa.
And in the past four years, the roommate, who has long been familiar with Lu An's habits, will not give up the sofa and return to his room until Lu An returns.
Maybe after he returns to his room, he will continue to study until later, this eldest young master's diligence is really a little scary.
Lu An often sighed like this.
Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Lu An checked it in his brain.
Now the distance between Earth and Mars is in the halfway range, 100 million kilometers.
Even the most elite private spacecraft with a speed of one million kilometers per hour would still take four or five days to fly from Mars to Earth.
The Lin family is one of the most famous families on Mars, with strong financial resources, but they also do not have the ability to fly across the stars in an instant.
"Four or five days!"
Lu An shrugged.
Hey? How did the tone of his speech become exactly the same as that of Young Master Lin?
You must know that today's interstellar passenger ships are often measured in months.
If you fly from Venus, the innermost planet of the solar system, to Europa, the outermost planet, you will have to drift in space for 80 long days.
"Sure enough, after staying together for a long time, have you even learned the tone of your voice decently?"
Lu An thought to himself.
However, if you think about it carefully, four years have passed in a flash.
He is about to graduate, and Lin Dashao has probably left the earth, even if he is going to the army for an internship, he probably won't continue to stay on the earth.
Four years ago, he was specially recruited to the Third Military Academy.
At that time, Lin Dashao should have been a little disgusted by the fact that a little child was suddenly stuffed into the bedroom where he lived alone. I could feel his polite distancing.
Unexpectedly, they gradually became more and more familiar, and the two of them could even tacitly take care of each other.
However, four years is so short, and the life of a cadet is coming to an end after all.
Other ordinary six-year universities may have two years to squander, but military schools are naturally different.
The first four years are normal studies, and the next two years will require military internships, so you either graduate early or take the next exams. Then, depending on the test results, either graduate early or be drafted into the army.
Of course, there are also some students who have been favored by the army early because of their excellent grades, and they will be directly recruited in advance and enter the army for internship.
In Lu An's view, Lin Dashao's "return to school and prepare in advance" is just a joke.
With the status of the Lin family, basically, Lin Yongping can go wherever he wants, and there is no need to discuss it in advance.
Could it be that the school will still be embarrassed by this Lin Dashao? The Lin family, who is calling for wind and rain on Mars, will not be unable to do even this little thing.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that when Lin Yongping's grandfather and uncles sneezed, there were three shocks up and down Mars. This is not just because Lin Yongping's grandfather's name is Lin Sanzhen.
The Lin family in the seventh region of Mars controls the largest mineral deposit area on Mars by the Kunlun Sea. The 900-kilometer mining area is said to contain enough resources in value to build the current Ten Combined Space Fleets.
The United Space Fleet, the largest armed group ever built by mankind, is the foundation accumulated by the human world over the 400 years of the space age since the beginning of the galaxy.
In fact, not only is it a rich country, the Lin family once controlled three famous universities on Mars, all of which can rank in the top 20 universities on Mars, and their talent reserves are also considerable.
Among the three private universities of the Lin family, Zhuoguang College, which is the most highly ranked, is also one of the most famous military schools on Mars during the last war, and the officers and generals who came out of it are one of the backbone groups of the Outer Planet United Defense Fleet.
In the seventh district inhabited by Chinese people on Mars, the Lin family is a big family with a great reputation.
Would the children of such a family still worry about a small military internship?
In fact, what Lu An didn't know was that "blessings and misfortunes lurk, misfortunes and blessings rely on", "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it".
Although the Lin family shined in the last war, it is precisely because of this that the Lin family is still one of the objects of the earth's eyesights.
After the end of the last war, the victorious giants of the earth began to liquidate the "rebel" forces of all the outer planets.
Mars, the Moon, and Europa, the powers of the three major coalition government divisions were stripped away, and the Outer Planet Combined Fleet was disarmed and merged into the United Space Fleet.
Even the Moon, which was betrayed because of the bad situation at the beginning of the war, all political, military, and economic power was taken over by the Earth, and the entire Moon was placed under the surveillance of the Joint Command.
The military police headquarters set up on the moon even took over all the armed forces of the moon and became the "emperor" of the moon.
And those behemoth-like families on Mars and Europa could not be wiped out immediately because of the original armistice treaty, but they were vigilantly watched by the giants on Earth.
All military academies established before the war were forcibly banned, and any scientific research, teaching, and production related to space fleet technology were strictly monitored, and the slightest transgression was warned.
Even, as a secret quid pro quo for the conclusion of the armistice treaty, the university education of the children of the families on the earth's liquidation list had to be completed on the earth.
Lin Yongping, as the third heir to the family, came to the Third Military Academy in the Thirteenth District of the Earth at the age of eighteen because of the family's decision.
Lu An didn't know about these secrets, and no one even knew about the entire Third Military Academy.
In Lu An's opinion, this roommate with a cold and reserved personality is really a bit too low-key. He rarely even appeared in front of his classmates in his top-of-the-line luxury private spaceship.
If it weren't for the fact that once, the roommate strongly invited him to travel to Mars and took him to visit the spacecraft that was secretly docked off-campus, even Lu An didn't know about it.
"However, the distance between Mars and Earth is now moving from the midway range to the long-distance range. One more day on Mars could mean one more day in space. Wellโโ, just say it directly, what's so embarrassing! โ
Lu An thought he had seen through his roommate's thoughts, so he shook his head and sighed.
Just as he was shaking his head, he saw a few pieces of paper neatly placed on the table in front of the sofa.
Lu An frowned and sighed: "I thought I could graduate early, no matter what kind of military internship, it doesn't have anything to do with the army." Unexpectedly, I still couldn't escape. โ
The military internship is an opportunity for the army to replenish fresh blood every year.
In addition to the individual recruitment of certain special talents, the selection of military cadets through internships to enrich the strength of the military is the most important way to serve in the military today.
In the space age, armies are fleets, made up of steel behemoths that roam space.
As the product of the crystallization of the highest scientific and technological wisdom of mankind, each warship is a complex collection of systems, including power, control, weapons, transmission, medical treatment, life support, communication and other different systems.
Coupled with the command, intelligence and other personnel systems, even the simplest assault ship, which is one kilometer long, has to carry thousands of professionally trained soldiers on board.
After the test of the last war, there are many military academies and departments set up because of the needs of warships, and even down to every place on the warship that needs manpower, corresponding majors will be set up.
For example, in the Third Military Academy, there is a well-known lubrication class.
During the four years of study, the students of the lubrication class did nothing else, and specialized in dealing with the lubricating fluids required for all the systems and equipment on the warship.
According to the different types of ships and the differences in hull design, there are as many as 20,000 kinds of lubricating fluids in the transmission system.
The lubrication class of the drive department of the Transmission Brake Academy is the source of jokes in military schools.
For example, Lu An has heard that the lubrication class should not be under the drive system, but under the life support college. Why? Because in case there is a shortage of food on the warship, the students in the lubrication class can tell everyone which lubricating oil to drink to satisfy hunger and deliciousness.
As for the students in the lubrication class, whether they really want to taste all the lubricants in their studies, Lu An is unknown.
Maybe it really will?
However, fortunately, Lu An does not have to do this.
As a student of the Department of Space Information Collection and Confrontation, a subordinate of the Logistics Support College, Lu An will be assigned to the electronic warfare room on the warship even if he goes to the army for internship, and he does not need to drink lubricant.
It's just that in this way, these things are useless.
"I'm going to lose my trust. Moreover, it's a pity that Lin Dashao's delicate thoughts. โ
Lu An smiled bitterly, crumpled the neat paper on the table haphazardly, pinched it vigorously, and threw it into the sundries bucket at the door with a "chirp".
I woke up the next day, the sun was shining, the weather was clear, and it was still sweltering.
Lin Yongping's door was wide open, and there was no one in the house.
Lu An has to go to the North District of Shanghai-Hangzhou City to run errands today, and he has to rush back at noon to pick up his sister from the hospital, and he is in a hurry, and he has no time to care about the whereabouts of his roommate.
Coming to the glove bucket at the door, Lu An hesitated for a moment, and reached out to pick up yesterday's paper ball.
The crumpled paper ball was placed on the table, and it was carefully flattened by Lu An, and after looking at it carefully for a while, it was crumpled again, and returned to the sundries bucket to stay quietly.
It is the old and semi-eliminated "ice and fire", and the station is at the entrance of the school.
When passing by the school gate, Lu An patted his head again.
"Ah, I forgot again."
However, it is important to go to see Uncle Wu first.
