Day after day, busy people are always doing a never-ending pendulum motion.

Fourteen hours of work, four hours of other work, and six hours of rest.

Danro, a tired battleship engineer, has just finished his dinner, if a cold pizza is anything else. Then Danroe took a can of beer and groaned and lay down on the couch. He stretched his aching body a few times before turning on the TV and starting his only entertainment of the day.

For the construction of the sister cruisers "Cape Town" and "Cairo", the crew of the 4th space station has been working beyond the norm for a full fourteen weeks! However, the sudden tension between the humans and the Barettas has made the military eager to wave their whips to get their engineers to speed up!

The TV show that Dan Luo likes to watch is a news talk show that specializes in analyzing the current affairs of the galaxy, so he has a good understanding of the recent situation. Since the outbreak of the "Skirian Raid", humanity has pointed directly at the supporting force behind the pirates, the Baretta Empire!

Originally, according to the general rules of diplomacy, this kind of conspiracy that was not directly caught by the black hand would not be recognized by any country! At this time, it is enough to firmly deny it - and humanity, as the new aristocracy of the galaxy, has already aroused the discontent of many peoples. If we dare to provoke disputes again, it will definitely trigger a large-scale boycott.

In this case. Considering the influence of the political aspect, human beings can only swallow this breath temporarily.

But right...... You have to understand that if you measure it by human values. You will find that the galaxy is full of wonders! For example, the tallest Asari people, not to mention strong genes or something. It is clear that it has almost the same reproductive system as humans, but reproduction relies on the fusion of the nervous system - according to human values, reproduction itself is secondary, and the act of reproduction is the main thing! Possess the tools to commit the crime but do not commit the crime...... Oh wait, the Asari are all women. It seems that there is indeed no tool for committing the crime......

Well...... Let's move on to Barretta.

Batarui is the most wonderful of the wonderful.

As we said earlier, the Batarui were a little aggrieved by their dispute with the humans in the colonies, and they were humiliated a few times by the human ambassador Udine. And then what...... Then they abolished the embassy of the Divine Fortress! It's been cut! -- It's like China smashing a bean paste bag at India, and then the third brother brazenly withdraws from the United Nations!

Not only that, but you should know that the Batarui have bombed the Serari colony in history. The planet that has swallowed the Asari - the three major councilors. The only thing he didn't dare to provoke was the upright Turks - because those exoskeleton bastards always liked to reason in dreadnoughts - and most of the people who had reasoned with them were gone.

Why are the Batarui people so two? The conclusion of the Council of the Citadel was that the Batarui were very aggressive. And Udina, the ambassador of humanity, also had a headache, and he felt that the diplomatic norms of the Batarui were not mature enough...... Or rather, they don't use the same version of diplomatic norms at all!

But is that really the case? Not really. The main planet of the Batarui is Kashi, which is home to 13 billion people, most of whom are forbidden to leave the planet. The Batarui practiced outright hegemony and slavery. Those in power firmly control the tools of public opinion, and then blind all the inhabitants to lies.

In the hearts of the Batarui people. Batarui is the number one power in the galaxy alongside Asari! The Batarui Empire is heaven, and the aliens are better off living than dead. The Batarui are so happy even to be slaves! Except for the rogues, criminals, and lazy slaves, no one wants to leave the Templar Jersey planets of the entire galaxy......

A lie told a thousand times is the truth, not only the common people believe it, but after a long period of propaganda, even those in power are confused by their own words - so you see they are bombing Serari and stabbing Asari - five words floating in the sky, it is not a matter!

So the conclusion is out...... Nima! How dare a mere human dare to offend my Great Batari Empire?! Nozuonodie,whyyoutry?! Beat! Must fight!

Therefore, at present, the entire Kashin planet group is in a passionate mood, and the Barita Navy, which has only one dreadnought, is clamoring to push the Star Alliance with five dreadnoughts (military power in 2177......

The Star Alliance Navy couldn't make any big moves for the Barettas, so what they did was to move the Third Fleet two systems towards the Schillion area, and then strengthen it a little. The sister cruisers "Cape Town" and "Cairo" are the core elements of this supplementary plan. Therefore, because of the second-cargo spirit of the Barita people, the sad ship-building engineers were unlucky.

It was too late to leave work today, and when Dan Luo turned on the TV, the show was already halfway through. Dan Luo didn't care to pull away the beer, his eyes stayed on the sexy hostess, and then he never looked away...... Yes, that's how he relaxes. It doesn't matter what the news is, the important thing is to watch the beauties! Monica, the host he fell in love with at first sight, for which he spent a lot of money and subscribed to the live and special editions of this show.

Not long after he sat down, the TV show had already come to an end, and the next part was what he was really looking forward to - the host's small talk after the show! Of course, if you think about it, you know that it's not true, no matter how small the ratings are, there are thousands of people watching, and it is impossible for the host to chat with all of them at the same time.

This is a pseudo-communication that uses VI as a backstage. Because VI can remember the user's habits with constant chatting, it is quite intelligent. And as the chat grows familiar, it gives people the feeling of making new friends - if it's not a Virgo, even if it's a "friend".

This tragic way for Danro, who has no girlfriend and no social time. But it was the only solace in his gloomy life.

"Hey, Danro, how are you doing today?" After the show. The hostess Monica said while tidying up the table, with a kind smile and a casual tone, really like a friend. "You look tired."

"It sucks." Danro, who was lying on the couch, lifted his beer and replied with a pout. It doesn't feel bad that there is another "person" who can listen to his complaints.

"Me too, I always had insomnia after the divorce. I'm almost ten years old. Monica doesn't mind talking about her personal affairs, it's her style.

"Oh no, Monica. You are as beautiful and radiant as you were five years ago. I don't think you've ever aged since the moment I saw you......" Dan Luo said to Monica affectionately. "I love you and I will always be your fan. To hell with your ex-husband! I guess he's incompetent......"

"Hahaha~" Monica smiled happily. Dan Luo raised his eyebrows triumphantly. In the past year, he and "Monica" have become more and more compatible. "Thank you, Danro, I feel better. Moreover, divorce ...... Actually, it's because of me. ”

"Oh no, you don't need to sue me." Dan Luo quickly interrupted her, afraid to hear the name of another man. I can't bear it with my own glass heart! "It's my pleasure to support you! I am your eternally loyal Danro! ”

"Thank you!" Monica said solemnly. She looked at her watch, and Dan Luo saw the action. Some regrets rose in my heart...... The time is coming again. "By the way, Danro, I might recommend a book to you. Talked about some bizarre, 20th-century ...... Forget it, I don't even know why I was obsessed with this book. ”

"Oh! No! Dan Luo jumped up directly from the couch and yelled angrily! Even scared Monica out of the screen. He shouted with a grim face, "Damn advertising agencies! Damn Pick-Buy! Don't slam my Monica! ”

But when he saw Monica, who was surprised, he instantly weakened again. After a while, Dan Luo said to Monica in a pleading tone. "I'm sorry, Monica, I scared you. All right...... Anything you're interested in is mine...... I'll buy it. ”

A lonely engineer like him would be so concerned about this kind of pseudo-communication that it is really a part of life, so much so that ...... There is no tolerance for flaws in it! Especially the "coercive sales" of advertising! "Don't say it next time, give it to me...... Just send a list, and I'll take the initiative to buy it...... You know, I'm a ship engineer and I make a decent salary - I'll support you as long as you need it! ”

"Hmm...... Sorry, Danro. I think you're misunderstanding......" Monica seemed to hesitate for a moment, then smiled and said the following. "I didn't make it clear just now, this is not an advertisement, and I paid for this book, which is a thank you for supporting me for five years! You know, that's really important to me! ”

"Poof!" Dan Luo just took a sip of beer in his mouth and squirted it out! He jumped up from the couch and slapped the beer on his clothes. No matter how sluggish he was, he now found out that something was wrong. "Monica! Sue me sù this is not what I thought it would be...... Isn't that ...... Pseudo-communication?! ”

"Danro," Monica looked a little smug, "you're a loyal viewer I've been connected with for five years, and I wondered when you'd find out...... But you're really not as ...... as you seem Clever. Haha~, but it's cute. ”

"Oh my God!" , Dan Luo covered his face and knelt down in front of the sofa, looking incredible! ――Think about what you've done in the past five years!? - Fall asleep while watching, watch TV naked, and ...... to Monica Xplane, "God, please take me away!" ”

"See you tomorrow, Danro." Satisfied with his reaction, Monica ended the show with a smile......

A few minutes later, the multi-purpose rang and Danro received an email from the host, Monica. Ashamed and apprehensive, Danro opened the letter—in addition to a text-only novel, My 20th Century," there was a simple phrase: "Don't care, Danro. You don't know, when the show premiered five years ago, you were my only live viewer! Here is my contact number, can you invite me to dinner? ”

Could there be a more obvious hint than that? the novel! the 20th century! I love Monica! I love dinner!

Engineer Dan Luo gave an invitation with trembling fingers, and then he quickly pulled out his formal clothes, and then rushed into the bathroom to shower, shave, and make a face mask......

*****

"You're Danro?"

When Dan Luo wrapped himself in a bath towel and sprayed cologne on his body while walking out of the bathroom, he was stunned to see several soldiers sitting in his living room in silence.

"Uh...... Yes, yes, I'm Danro. He replied with some apprehension to these uninvited guests after confirming their identities.

"Are you the designer of the sister ships 'Cape Town' and 'Johannesburg'? ”

"It's just a part of it...... As you know, the general design of the cruiser was carried out by the Naval Design Institute. Excuse me, is there anything wrong with this? Looking at the few people who had been very indifferent, he was a little frightened. I kept thinking about whether I had inadvertently leaked some secrets, and then shot, shot and shot or something.

"Nope!" Several soldiers stood up in unison, startling Dan Luo again. "You were drafted by the Navy...... Please get dressed and leave with us immediately. We're going to get you to the Gagarin space station in seventy-two hours. ”

"Wait! I'm going to dinner, I've got an appointment! Dan Luo clasped his hands together, "Please ......"

"I'm sorry!" The soldier said insincerely, and threw back the work armor he had just taken off on the bed. "In five minutes, we'll put you on board, even if you're not wearing pants."
