Pluto Air Force Base.

Robin and others, who had successfully recovered after completing the discharge procedures, took the maglev vehicle of the War Department and came to the location agreed with Colin.

Stepping out of the car, Robin found that the place was actually a huge warehouse, and some of the crew members of the original TR-735 who had not been hospitalized were busy in the warehouse.

Seeing Robin and the others getting out of the car at this moment, Borg, who was originally busy in front of a huge machine, immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Hey! Our hero is back. ”

Hearing Borg's salutation, Robin and the others saluted with embarrassment, and asked with a smile, "What are you busy with?" ”

"Cecilia handed over a batch of supplies from the logistics department of the air base, hehe...... It's all in tatters, and I'm having a headache with these things. Borg shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Tattered!" Li, who was standing beside Robin, shouted when he heard it: "Impossible, we handed over more than 400 sets of heavy infantry armor to them, and they were embarrassed to only give us some tatters?" ”

"You'll find out if you come in and see."

Borg led Robin and the others into the landing gear of the warehouse, and after the metal door of the landing gear opened, a huge behemoth suddenly appeared in front of Robin and the others.

At this moment, just by visual inspection, Robin could tell that although the big guy in front of him was very similar in appearance to the original ship, he was at least twice as large as the original TR-735. Displayed in this warehouse, the shocking feeling made Robin and them unable to recover for a long time.

"This ...... Is this still called rags? Lee glared at Borg with incredulous eyes.

"This is a Catfish 3, a 46,000-ton transport ship. Compared with the 17,000-ton Catfish 1, the 46,000-ton Catfish 3 transport ship is already the largest type of landing transport ship. If the Pluto War Department had given us a capable Catfish 3 transport, I would have laughed in my dreams. ”

"Why, this thing can't fly?" Robin heard something and asked in surprise, "What can't they do for us." ”

"The ship really can't fly, it was forced to land on Pluto because of engine failure, but it was scrapped because there was no matching engine, and the original crew has all been evacuated from Pluto and returned to the Air Force headquarters for reassignment." As he spoke, Borg took out a construction drawing of the Catfish Type 3 transport ship and unfolded it in front of Robin: "Our captured Federation 'Ray' transport ship is partially damaged and cannot be repaired, so we are going to remove its engine and replace it with this Catfish Type 3 transport ship." ”

"A 20,000-ton engine pushes a 46,000-ton ship? This may ...... "Robin also has a good reputation for mechanics, so he immediately understood what Borg wanted to do.

"The 'Star Vortex' engine of the Federation 'Ray' transport ship is very powerful in terms of power, but in terms of power furnace, they are not as advanced as us, so the strongest power of the 'Star Vortex' engine is not fully reflected. I have calculated that the 20,000-ton 'Star Vortex' engine can be upgraded to support the navigation of ships of about 40,000 tons, as long as we modify the hull slightly, it should be able to meet the power demand. ”

"Huh...... No wonder you said it was in tatters, it turned out that we had to fix it ourselves. ”

"yes, that colonel named Archill is such a bastard." Borg, who accompanied Cecilia to the handover formalities, turned blue when he remembered Colonel Archer's ugly face: "I have never seen such a way of doing things, although it is common for the army to be lax, but I have never seen a commander who would dare to transfer supplies directly beyond the procedure like him." ”

"Isn't he afraid that the evaluation program of the central computer will deduct his grades and demote him to a private?"

"It is said that he has made outstanding achievements, and the meritorious service he has won is just right to be deducted." Speaking of this, Borg couldn't help but gloat.

"Do we have anything else to supply besides this ship?"

"Two Federal Patriot 2 heavy infantry armor, hehe...... However, it is also the bad goods that they pick up, and we have to repair them ourselves. There were also four rapid-fire guns of 120 mm caliber, but there were no electronic control devices. All kinds of parts, armor ......" Borg glanced at the list, shook his head and threw it to Robin: "Look for yourself, these things are definitely good things just by looking at the name, but none of them are ready to use immediately, all of them are in tatters." ”

"Damn, he's so embarrassed!" Li snatched the list of supplies in Robin's hand, and after just one glance, he scolded: "Fuck, he picked out the things we gave and threw the rags to us, and they were included in our supplies, this guy is really ......"

"Huh...... But luckily, we can fix all of these things. Robin held his chin and thought for a while: "Although the four rapid-fire guns of the Federation 'Ray' transport ship were destroyed by Andy and them, the firepower control of the 'Ray' transport ship is fully electronic, and his operation device should still be intact, if we disassemble it and install it on this ship, it should be usable." ”

"As for the two sets of heavy infantry armor...... Robin turned his head to look at Borg, "Can you find a way to help me get a set of Republic Skywalker 2 aviation armor blueprints, and I'll see if I can fix them and convert them into aviation armor that can be used in space warfare." ”

"Retrofit? Would you still do this? Borg looked at Robin in surprise, he had not known Robin for a long time, so he didn't know that Robin was a mechanic in addition to being an assault soldier when he was at Carbonstar B-57 outpost.

"Haha...... Second Lieutenant Borg, that's how you underestimate Robin. He repaired things no worse than the average maintenance technician. Lee knew what Robin was capable of, so he didn't doubt what he was saying at all.

"Hah! That would be great if I didn't have to worry about running out of staff. Borg lit a cigar and complained, "That Colonel Archer won't even send us maintenance soldiers, and I've calculated that we'll have to stay on Pluto for at least three months to fix these things." ”

"There have been so many changes in three months, Pluto is the main battlefield, and the battle is not optimistic."

"That's right, so Cecilia went to contact the other two captains after counting the supplies, hoping to borrow some maintenance personnel to speed up the ship's repairs."

Speaking of Cecilia, Robin suddenly realized that he hadn't seen her since now. Thinking of Cecilia's strange demeanor as she left her room, Robin felt as if he had snubbed her.

"Call her back, how about we go to Stan City's living quarters today?" Robin suggested.

"Good idea."

Lee, who didn't know anything about maintenance and the like, had already yawned, and now when he heard Robin say that he was going to go to the living quarters of Stan City to relax, he suddenly came to his senses.

"There's so much work to be done here, there's no time for us to waste!" Borg frowned, clearly not agreeing with Robin's proposal.

"It will take a month and a half to two months for the boat to be repaired at the earliest, and I don't care if it's just a few hours. And after the rest of your life after this catastrophe, let everyone relax and work more efficiently. ”

"That's right, you have to combine work and rest." Li Wenyan immediately nodded vigorously.

Seeing Robin and Lee so insistent, Borg thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Robin's request, which was not too much.

Soon, the news of the holiday was spread impatiently by Li. Suddenly, the busy crowd erupted in a shocking cheer, and the already exhausted people rushed to the locker room to change out of their black oil-stained overalls, ready to enjoy this rare vacation.

Cecilia, who had been notified, arrived a moment later with the crews of the other two ships. On Pluto, the three of their immortal transports had become a small group, and the captains of the other two ships had been looking for an opportunity to thank Cecilia and Robin for rescuing them, so after learning that the TR-735 was on leave, they rushed over with them.

Originally, according to Borg's meaning, everyone just walked around the living quarters of the air base. But now that all the personnel on the three ships have been gathered, the decision is naturally in the hands of the three highest-ranking captains.

After a brief discussion, the group unanimously decided to head to the Stan City living quarters. So, after negotiating with the person in charge of the air base, the two lieutenant captains rented ten hovercars and drove away from the air base with a huge number of nearly 100 people.

In the long-term planning of the Republic, Pluto will exist as the administrative star of the four planets of the Pluto system in the future. Therefore, in terms of construction, the Republic was built in accordance with the standard of a second-class administrative star.

As it stands, in addition to militarized facilities such as army bases and air bases, as the future capital of Pluto, Stancity already has a water purification center, a food production base, two mechanical processing plants, a large mineral mining center, and various recreational facilities.

On the basis of these, a standard city that was beginning to take shape was established under the augmentation of the army base. Moreover, Stan, which currently houses more than two million people, is very prosperous, although there is still a certain gap compared to Wald, the capital of Mars, but for Robin, who has been isolated from the world in the army and training camp for more than two years, he has not felt such prosperity for a long time.

So, when he stepped out of the car and stopped on the busy shopping street, he felt like a wild man from a wild world, and everything around him seemed so strange.

"Hey, what are you doing in a daze? What a waste of time to spend in a daze! Lee yelled at Robin surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women.

Robin escaped and found that this guy had already mingled with the people on the other ships, even the always inconspicuous Colin, and Robin also found that he was whispering to a good-looking girl, revealing a joy that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.

Robin felt that the girl was familiar, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was the girl named Masha on the TR-735. Turning his head to look elsewhere, Robin saw that the voluptuous Leona was surrounded by countless men, and even the usually unsmiling Borg seemed to be fascinated by Leona's charm and was hesitating to invite her on a date with him.

"Sister Leona is so popular!"

Suddenly, Cecilia's voice sounded behind her, and Robin looked back to find Cecilia looking at Robin with a pouting sourness, and it seemed that she had noticed Robin's gaze towards Leona.

"You're envious?" Robin smiled and gently hugged Cecilia's slender waist.

"Hmph, I'm not envious." Cecilia grabbed Robin's arm, snuggled up to Robin, and asked expectantly, "It's enough for me to have you, you belong to me, right?" ”

“……”

From Cecilia's expectant tone, Robin felt the sense of crisis in her heart, and suddenly understood why her attitude towards Leona had changed so much.

"Yes!" Robin hugged Cecilia lovingly, and when he saw Cecilia's bright smile, he couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the cheek: "Let's go, let's go on a date!" ～”
