Chapter 2: Takeoff
There is only one trip. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hope that there was no explosion at the college.
Jiangyin is one of the few metropolises in the earth's Chinese settlement.
In the year 3137 of the standard calendar, it became a modern fortress city due to the many important military facilities scattered around it, including the Electric Mine Academy.
It has more than 20 million inhabitants, and this does not include the floating population and soldiers who change guards.
The fortress city has a well-developed three-dimensional transportation system. From the overhead transportation hub to the underground pipeline maglev train, it is very convenient for citizens to shuttle between the city in peacetime, and it is even faster and more efficient to dispatch troops and generals in wartime, and to transport ammunition and materials.
Ground transportation has been paralyzed, and Liao Fan chose a pipeline maglev train.
The train is dedicated to military bases, as well as to the Electro Mine Academy. There were not many people in the car, all of them were soldiers who were in a hurry to get back to the station.
Among the sparse passengers, Liao Fan is particularly prominent. His dirty, unsightly appearance was in stark contrast to the neatly groomed soldiers.
The passengers looked at him with curiosity and pity. No one stepped forward to comfort them.
He didn't pay attention to those strange eyes, and took the opportunity to sit down and rest, and had a new plan for the next step.
Find friends, classmates, and instructors, mobilize multiple forces, and organize a rescue team. He could only hope for the Academy, and if it also became a ruin, everything would be irretrievable.
He didn't feel it when he had been running, but now that he sat down, the fatigue almost overwhelmed him. His throat was hot, his tongue was like a foreign object stuck to his mouth, and he needed to think about himself first.
Raising his watch, a large mailbox-shaped vending machine approached.
If the network is not available, the vending machine will not be able to deduct credits from the terminal.
But he was too thirsty to take care of much. He decided that even if he demolished this big guy, he would have to drink water.
Seeing that there was the chilled sweet nectar in the transparent freezer, he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately, break the big guy's stomach, and grab the life-saving water source.
On the multi-function display, the customer is prompted to select the type of drink. However, prior to this, according to the Retail Trade Ordinance, vending machines were required to read out a short period of customer notice.
He forced himself to be patient, and in the meantime, he thought of ten ways to pry open the freezer.
He expected the GIs around him to stop him like a madman. So you have to drink water before that.
After the customer notice was read out, he pounced like crazy.
"Please choose the drink you want."
Use the college's ID card, stuff it into the multi-function card reader, and use the previously fun built-in virus program to disrupt the system on the vending machine.
The card was spit out. Hell, this bastard lied to me, the virus is not good.
"Please choose the drink you want."
Pull out the cable from your watch and plug it into the service port. He believes that with his level 3 of electronic warfare expertise, he can still handle a mere vending machine.
The authentication fails and the connection request is denied. EW Professional Level 3, it's like a joke.
"Please choose the drink you want."
The people around me have started to pay attention here, and they have to be fast.
You forced me, Liao Fan's face showed hideousness. He grabbed the bulge on the right side of the vending machine with his left hand, and stopped the machine with his right arm, shaking it with all his strength.
With a violent vibration, I saw the beverage bottles in the freezer in the interlocking slots rolling towards the outlet. One notch, two notches, and it's coming out soon.
There was a soreness in the arms, the heart was beating violently, and the eyes began to glow. You can't stop, it's about to succeed. This ancient technique, learned in an orphanage, was originally hopeless, and I really didn't expect it to be able to be used.
Ferocious shaking in "Bang! He stopped. Liao Fan's arms were forcefully vending and the machine did not move.
There is an extra large hand on the machine, firmly grasping the handle located in the middle.
“。。。。。。”
"You have to choose a drink first." , The burly soldier looked down on Liao Fan with the eyes of a fool.
"I have to drink water, I'm so thirsty!"
"You need to choose the type of drink to get it."
"You don't understand, I can't drink without the Internet."
"What kind of drink do you want?"
"Lemonade"
This man is an army. Liao Fan's memory gives a warning that the army has always been a leader in action.
Before he could react in a hurry, his big hands were already skillfully touching the operation on the display.
"Lemonade Select OK, please select the payment mode." , the sound of the machine is still steady. Liao Fan just couldn't stand this slow speed of speech. He's dying of thirst, and the damn machine is still talking slowly.
Anxiety and anger rushed up, and Liao Fan decided that regardless of the burly soldiers, he must drink water.
The soldier grabbed his wrist and pulled him violently, and the man involuntarily rushed forward half a step.
The watch is skimmed in front of the scanning port of the vending machine, and the "drop", and the prompt sound of the successful reading is very pleasant.
"Warning you! I'm in a bad mood today, be careful to be unkind to you. ”
Liao Fan tilted his head and gestured his fist at the burly soldier.
"Thank you for your patronage, please take your drink."
"Don't think you're strong because you're strong, I..." , a cold drink is delivered in front of you. He looked at the long-awaited bottle of lemonade and suddenly felt like crying.
"I said, you just need to choose a drink, there is Internet in the train, you can pay." , the burly soldier turned and left.
Look down and confirm that the watch with scratches has just turned on the external connection mode, no wonder it was impossible to contact the outside world before. He felt like a clown.
The coldness of the tentacles pulled him back to reality. He poured lemonade in one gulp, despite a third of the liquid wetting his placket.
A dense message sound comes from the watch. Ivan, a close friend, sent no less than 30 communication requests in a row. The last thing he sent was a video message.
Reluctantly put down the half-empty water bottle, he pulled out the synchronization socket and stuck it on his head, Ivan's ugly face immediately occupied the field of vision.
"Liao Fan! Big event! Why don't you kid answer the phone! ”
The orphanage's companion, the only friend, Ivan is actually family. The gong-like voice made him feel kind and warm.
A video call request was made to the other person, but it couldn't be reached. I used the message to report that I was safe, and by the way, I asked for news from Jasmine.
With nothing to do for a moment, the two voices quarreled again.
"Your feelings for her are nothing more than that, I don't see you being sad."
"Nonsense, you have a deep affection for her. Since the explosion, regardless of rest, running around until now is a proof of love. ”
"Cut, running around or something, just for show, to feel less guilty."
"Don't listen to him, you..."
Before the brain stem hurts, quickly divert your attention.
He was on the Internet.
Coalition President Rama is making a proclamation condemning the Empire's (Proxima Centauri's Empire of Humanity) for its acts of war. He burst into tears, first praying for the victims of the attack, and then denouncing the vileness of the Imperials.
Rama's acting skills are very poor, and the traces of artificiality are obvious. Liao Fan couldn't stand this kind of guy the most, so he diverted his gaze like avoiding the **** on the road.
The explosion was actually a bombing, and there were many areas of damage. Half of the metropolises on the planet have been attacked, and the casualty count is still being counted. In Jiangyin alone, more than 50,000 casualties have been reported, and the exact number is rising.
Sure enough, it was a big event.
。。。。。。
The Lightning Academy is safe and sound.
Someone mobilized the cadet soldiers and turned the vast campus into a large barracks. Students of all departments, whether they are new to school or, like him, about to graduate, are rushing in a hurry.
Back in the dormitory, I simply cleaned up my body and changed into a clean uniform.
In a hurry, I hit a wall of flesh.
For Liao Fan, who had just experienced an accident and was in a weak state, the impact was a bit strong, and he almost sat on the ground.
The thick arms, not much worse than the thighs of ordinary people, grabbed his shoulders.
"Boss, can you be light, I just went through a great hardship, and I can't stand your grip like this."
"Don't pretend to be pitiful to Lao Tzu, you are the most crooked fox, you usually wilt, and you have robbed all the benefits at the critical moment."
The big man standing in front of him was more than two meters tall and strong. Liao Fan's physique is in front of him, and the three can't compare, he is a human bear. He is Ivan.
"I don't have time to reason with a bear. Now the problem is serious! Did you receive the message? Any news from Jasmine? ”
“。。。 This one... The man-bear's expression became strange.
Liao Fan's face turned pale and he pursed his mouth nervously. He frowned, looking ready to take a huge blow.
“。。。 This one... Hawkers... No news! ”
There was a "poof", and someone fell to the ground.
The bear smiled lewdly.
"You guy! I'm serious, Jasmine is important to me! ”
"I asked the Air Traffic Control Section, but I haven't heard from her."
"How so!"
"No news is good news. That's what everybody says. ”
"She didn't come back! It must have been buried under the theater. ”
The man-bear reached out and lifted him up.
"How long are you going to lie on the ground, and what are you going to do next?"
"What's going on?。。。 Oh, I want to apply to the academy and send a rescue team. ”
The big head shakes like a rattle.
"Impossible, didn't you watch the news? The war had begun, the academy had entered military control, and all the cadets were included in the active duty establishment. ”
"So what?"
"How! That means we're not free now, we're all soldiers, you know? Be prepared to go to war. ”
"What about Jasmine?"
"I'll leave her to the rescue team."
"But the rescue team can't get busy! By the time they go to save people, it's too late! With irritability in his heart, he couldn't help but walk back and forth.
"And what do you want to do?"
"I want to save her. Half of my future happiness rests on her. ”
"Hmph, I still think you've changed sex! Think about others. It's a pity that in the end, it's for yourself. ”
Every hair on Liao Fan's body stood up, his hair spread out under the slightly disturbed air current, he was an angry beast, sharp and dangerous.
"If there is anything wrong with oneself, one will not destroy the heavens and the earth for himself. What an army, a war! These things are not as good as a hair of hers in front of me! No one could stop me from going to her. ”
The corners of the man-bear's mouth turned up, revealing a provocative smile.
"No one is stopping you... Let's go, go and save people! If you could do it yourself, you wouldn't come back! ”
Suffocated for a moment, the sharp aura disappeared, and he frowned deeply, having nothing to say.
Man-bear patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, the academy is calling volunteers." You and I are both fresh graduates of the Fighter Aircraft Division, and we are the most suitable candidates for the battlefield. The instructor named both of us! ”
"You're looking forward to going to war!"
"Lao Tzu is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and now this is exactly what I want."
The man-bear turned and took two steps, and when he looked back, he didn't move.
There was an impatient look on the ugly face, "I said, I'm usually quite clever, why did I become stupid!" ”
"I'm going to save Jasmine!"
"You can't save her now! You're going to war! ”
"She's waiting for me to go!"
"The instructor named us both to participate."
"How is she now? Maybe it's hard to breathe, the blood doesn't stop, and the consequences of being one step late are unimaginable. ”
"Oh, what a loss for your amorous seed。。。 Remember Jasmine's necklace? It must have a signal positioning effect. Scan the city with the on-board detection device and everything is not clear? ”
Oh, yes! And this hand. With the on-board detector, you can find her as well. There is an exact location, and the rescue team will not shirk it anymore.
The academy came to life beside him. It was as if someone had suddenly turned up the volume knob, and the noise and noise poured into the ear piercings in large numbers. The world has regained its colors.
The man-bear stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "I said, when you exploded, you really didn't hit your head, why do you look stupid?" ”
Shake off the big fan-like hand, "Don't do much." ”
The academy announcement sounded in the distance, "Attention pilot volunteers, please go to the 30-bay hangar to assemble in 12 minutes." Attention pilot volunteers, please go to Hangar 12... ”
The two stopped along, stopped a school commuter bus, and squeezed on.
Ivan's sturdy size makes the small interior space even more cramped.
"Hey, hey, big man, can you step back, I'm going to be squashed."
"Beauty, bear with it, extraordinary times. I'll be under the hangar for a while. ”
"What! Are you a pilot? Fighters can carry you into the air! ”
"Why not, Lao Tzu used his feet to pestle the ground, and flew up after boarding."
A car full of laughter.
。。。。。。
The 12th Gnaku is a storeroom dedicated to air shows.
In the morning, Liao Fan saw a neat line of intra-atmospheric fighters here. They sparkle in the morning light and are full of vitality.
In the same column of fighters, ammunition and missiles were neatly placed around it, and the atmosphere of solemnity made the scene gloomy.
It seems that they are going to fly these planes into battle.
He was wearing a load-resistant suit, and his whole person looked bloated. However, compared to the bear-like humans around him, he was slim enough.
The instructor was training the whole team, and the two hurriedly ran to stand at the end of the team.
The squad leader of the fighter department, the academy's Xiucai graduate, and Edlaide are also in the queue.
He was tall and thin, full of bookishness, with the fair skin of the Caucasian people, and the standard appearance of a young man.
Ivan put aside his big mouth and threw a spitting expression at Edlaide, and Liao Fan also looked at him coldly.
The two have reason to be hostile to this Xiucai.
For a long time, more than half of the punishment on the two was caused by him. If this is not a-for-tat reason, then his attempt to snatch love with Liao Fan is intolerable.
Xiucai looked ahead with a serious expression.
。。。。。。
Falkenhausen was once the ace of the Space Army. Caucasian with a grim face. After he was fully equipped, his solemn atmosphere was immediately revealed, and even the most unscrupulous student soldiers in ordinary times did not dare to make a mistake.
Scanning the rookies in front of him, his sharp eyes made people unconsciously lower their heads.
"It's time to go to the battlefield, remember, follow the content of the training!"
"Yes instructor!" , the answers are uniform, and the morale of the rookies is high.
"Hey... Excuse me.. Borrowed, you let let... ”
"What do you do? I'm in line! ”
"What nonsense, you get out of the way!"
Someone almost fell in a stumble. The neat queue writhed abnormally, and the solemn atmosphere that had just been established disappeared.
After the two guys squeezed the entire queue, they stood at the end of the line, without the slightest guilt of being late.
Falkenhausen frowned, his sharp eyes shooting at the two newcomers.
The tall one of them calmly accepted his gaze, and the other was absent-minded, not noticing the murderous aura in his eyes at all.
The two most special people in the graduating class, Liao Fan, who is extremely self-conscious, and Ivan, a giant man. The two of them are known as the scourge of the Flying Division, and they didn't think they would come.
"Excellent! You didn't disappoint me, everyone has the responsibility to protect the family and defend the country! ”
"Report to the instructor, everyone has a responsibility, except for Liao Fan. Five minutes ago, I was clamoring to find my girlfriend, but if I hadn't dragged it, I'd have run now! ”
Easily ruined his efforts to clean up the atmosphere, Ivan's ugly big face showed a look of merit, as if to say, praise me, it is me who has protected the honor of the Fighter Section.
Resisting the urge to go up and kick people, the instructor turned his gaze to Liao Fan. This guy is still that ordinary, harmless to humans and animals. If you weren't familiar with his personality, you would really be deceived by that appearance.
"Report to the instructor, Jasmine was caught up in the explosion in the city, and now her life and death are unknown, and I am worried about her."
"Forget her now!"
"What?"
"Forget her now! You're about to go to war, where there is no room for half-hearted guys, either forget about her or stay on the ground. ”
"I can't forget her because she's what drives me to fight."
"It's a pity, what is needed here is a calm and rational warrior, not an impulsive avenger, you can go now!"
"Nope! I stayed, as you can see, I am calm and sane now, and I have forgotten about my girlfriend. ”
He didn't believe Liao Fan's words, this was a little fox. Behind the obedience, there is a smell of conspiracy.
Examining the innocent-looking fox back and forth, his blue eyes rolling involuntarily, he made a decision.
"Line up now!"
The rookie queue was neat again. The uniform movement brought up the rolling air, and the momentum of the team was very similar to that.
"I emphasize again, if you don't want to go to the battlefield, you can leave immediately and without punishment! Is anyone leaving? ”
“。。。。。。” , the cadet soldiers were upright, and the queue was silent.
。。。。。。
It was nearly 5 p.m. when the sun began to set in the west, shining a golden patch.
At the airport, the ground crew gave way to the runway, and the Brewster fighter was dressed in a golden sunset, like a knight about to charge, murderous.
The instructor put on full armor, poked his right hand out of the cockpit, clenched his fist, slowly drew a circle, and then opened his palm and swung forward vigorously.
The posture of the attack is so confident, arrogant, and free, as if the fleet is not going to the battlefield of life and death, but to do a performance.
Liao Fan's eyes were fixed on the fist held by the instructor, and with the change of the fist, a certain power in his heart was also changing, and he was about to move.
"What's this! You won't be affected by a single gesture. ”
"Come on! My heart is already boiling. ”
"You only care about Jasmine now, and the army, the war, or the country have nothing to do with you."
"You're still affected, the instructor's gestures are cool! You want to be that cool, right? ”
The two voices are routinely arguing in their heads. This time he didn't care, the instructor's gestures were really cool, and he was really enthusiastic.
On the runway, except for the sound of the wind and the sound of the engine, there is no other hustle and bustle. The audience was immersed in a state of frozen time.
No more people running or talking. People turned their heads to stare at the warplanes on the runway.
The body follows the training program, controls the fighter in an orderly manner, and tests various important functions. Consciousness focused on the group of planes that took off in formation, and the mood was gradually enveloped by the atmosphere of slaughter.
The traffic lights on both sides of the runway began to turn from red to green one by one. The lead fighter slowly began to glide and accelerate.
The ears were full of the roar of the engine, the hatch cover was closed, and the sound of the electromagnetic buckle "clicking" and locking was like a starting gun, and the right hand holding the operating lever was relaxed, and the surging power was released instantly.
Under the deafening sound, the wings showed an atomized air flow to the sides, and the war eagle pointed straight to the golden sky, proud and unstoppable.
At this moment, Liao Fan's war began.
