The original Charon garrison is not actually a well-known number. In fact, as a third-magnitude star of the Nine-Star Republic, Charon once had no troops stationed, and there were not even people living on this desolate planet at the very edge of the solar system.

Limited by national strength and barren resources, although the Nine-Star Republic has gradually recovered under the effective governance of the central computer, the development of Mars and Venus alone has used most of the resources and manpower of the Nine-Star Republic. Coupled with the large-scale mining of Mercury, a large resource star, and the construction of many space stations, the Republic of Nine Star cannot afford to take care of even second-magnitude stars such as Pluto and China, let alone Charon, which is not as big as the Moon.

It was only after the expansion of the army in recent years that the Republic gradually incorporated this remote galaxy into the territory of the Republic. But in the beginning, the troops stationed on the four planets of Pluto were only a regiment. And the garrison stationed on Charon is only a company.

They are a forgotten army guarding the most inhospitable frontiers of the Republic, but they can only receive the most basic supplies because of the difficulty of transportation. As a garrison of the planet, they didn't even have any air raid equipment, so in the early days of the large-scale invasion of the Federation Army, they could only watch the Federation Army's assault boats land, use their flesh and blood to block the enemy forces hundreds of times their size, and hold on until the first large force of reinforcement arrived on Charon.

A group of unknown but incomparably heroic warriors, without dazzling glory, but worthy of Robin's heartfelt respect for them.

"Okay, now that we've all got to know each other, that's the end of the introduction."

Aubrey was a little uncomfortable by Robin's hot gaze, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Tomorrow's patrol will still be as usual, Bart Jr. and I are in charge of the area from north to east, and Yarman, Big Bart, and Lee are in charge of the area from north to west. Colin monitors the radar and reports the situation at all times. ”

"What about me?" Hearing that Aubrey did not have himself in his work schedule, Robin, who felt neglected, hurriedly stood up and asked.

"You?" Aubrey glanced at him and smiled: "In the past few days, you have overcome the initial discomfort, and although I admit that you are a good recruit, I have not yet recognized that you are a qualified soldier." So, rookie! Don't think of yourself as a savior! ”

"By the way, if you're really idle, go find that garbage and fix it. Whatever you want, fix it if you can, we lack everything anyway. ”

"Oh, okay......"

Hearing that Aubrey had arranged logistics for him, Robin's enthusiasm was extinguished.

"That's it, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Aubrey yawned and staggered to his bed, "You sleep over there, and the sleeping bag will go to the storeroom to find it yourself." ”

"Okay." Robin nodded, and went to the storeroom to find a half-used sleeping bag and came back.

And just as he was about to take off his military boots and get into his sleeping bag, Lee, who was across from him, suddenly pushed him with his elbow and stuffed a vial for him.

"What is this?" Robin shook the bottle curiously, feeling as if it was some kind of pill inside.

"Sleeping pills." Li smiled kindly: "You're going to need it." ”

Lee's words made Robin realize that on alien planets and even in space, factors such as jet lag, gravity, magnetic fields, and so on can completely disrupt the biological clock in the human body. Especially on Charon, where there is no day or night at all, time has become an incomparably chaotic thing. Although the soldiers stationed here are still calculated according to the 24-hour Earth time, in fact, Charon's schedule is not the same at all, and the time here is at least four to five times faster than that of Earth. And overcoming this becomes the first test that recruits need to go through.

"Thank you." Robin slipped the vial into his pocket.

And Li saw that Robin didn't mean to take it immediately, so he didn't force it. After all, medication to overcome the discomfort of the human body's biological clock will produce certain side effects, so unless it is a last resort, try to overcome it with its own adjustment ability, and this has become a necessary ability for new humans in this cosmic era.

Soon, a faint snoring sounded from the tent, and everyone except for Colin, who was still in front of the radar, and Robin, who was a little sleepless, had already fallen asleep.

"This is my first day ......"

Robin looked at the silver-gray tent top, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Gradually, he felt his eyelids sink a little, and in the midst of this snoring one after another, he quickly fell asleep like a veteran who had been stationed on Charon for several years.

……

The next day, Robin woke up from his sleep.

Opening his sleepy eyes, Robin rubbed his somewhat swollen head and prepared to get up and pack his sleeping bag.

"Huh? What about them? Robin noticed that the sleeping bags of Aubrey and the others had already been packed, and he couldn't help but look back at Colin, who was still busy in front of the radar.

"I'm on patrol." Colin turned to a plate on the table, "That's your breakfast." ”

"Did I oversleep?" Robin sat down at the table in a bit of a daze: "Why didn't you wake me up?" ”

"Aubrey doesn't think it's necessary." Colin peeled off a sobering candy and threw it into his mouth: "You're the most sleepy recruit I've ever met, and most of the recruits, including me, barely get a good night's sleep in the first few days of their arrival. ”

"I don't think there's anything special ......about this," Robin pouted disapplausively, he had already been trained in this area in the training camp, so he easily adapted to the special geography of Charon. As for the kind of situation Colin was talking about, he only felt that it was a dereliction of duty on the part of those training camp instructors.

"Well, maybe you have a talent for it." Colin pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued to work.

"Colin, have you been working until now?" Robin scooped a spoonful of 'jelly' into his mouth and asked vaguely, "Don't you need to sleep?" ”

Colin quickly recorded the data on the electronic notebook, and said casually: "My brain domain development has reached the third level, so I only need to supplement one hour of sleep every forty-eight hours. It's easy to squeeze out that time. ”

"Information processing capabilities?" Robin asked pointedly.

"That's right, third-order information processing power, first-order computing power." Colin looked up and smiled at Robin.

"No wonder ......" Robin nodded, he knew that among the four basic abilities of the brain domain, as long as any one of them broke through the second order, he would be able to make a breakthrough leap in replenishing energy. The second-order ability alone can replenish three hours of sleep every twenty-four hours, and with one third-order ability and one first-order ability, it is not very strange that one hour of sleep can be replenished every forty-eight hours.

After a quick breakfast, Robin stopped bothering Colin and walked out of the tent alone to go to the storeroom.

The miniature canopy equipped with the outpost can cover an area of about 400 square meters, which is just enough to cover the entire crater, so as long as he does not leave the crater, Robin can move freely in the outpost without wearing any protection.

The storehouse owned by the outpost was really just a small shed made of surplus materials from the tent. Diving into it, all sorts of bits and pieces were piled up in a heap, and some neatly arranged boxes were the equipment that the outpost was supposed to consume.

Robin found a simple robotic arm behind a pile of boxes, a standard robotic arm for mechanics, which was much less functional than the one he used at Wald's Military Academy, but it would be enough if it was just to fix something that wasn't too complicated.

"This must be the relic left by that Arthur......" Robin saw a capital A on the metal plate of the robotic arm, and guessed the origin of the robotic arm.

He skillfully installed the robotic arm for himself, and after debugging the various functions of the robotic arm, he couldn't help but look at the large pile of rags with confidence.

"It's time for me to show what I'm up to, hehe...... I'm not a rookie who needs to be taken care of! ～”
