Chapter 10: Numbers
The office furnishings are simple and the lines are tough, which is very much in line with the identity of the owner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnyone who enters this place for the first time will think that the owner is a pragmatic, unsmiling contemporary soldier.
The typical impression of a military person is maintained until they meet a real person.
Zhang Zhen's image as a small boss in the market is so incompatible with the majestic soldier that most people who see him for the first time don't believe their eyes.
Someone mistakenly thought he was the food supplier who had entered the wrong room, and invited the dignified captain to the logistics office.
When someone came in the door, he stood still, and he leisurely turned the high-backed chair to let people see his face clearly.
The appearance of the guest's jaw dropping has always been his greatest pleasure here.
Unfortunately, today the fun is not possible.
The tall, handsome and indifferent Caucasian stared coldly into his blue eyes, all suggesting that this was an acquaintance.
Under the sharp gaze, he laughed unnaturally, and moved his round body to stand up.
"It's you! I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that I went to be an instructor, why do you have time to come here? ”
The mouth is gentle, the movements are casual, and the people in the market are alive.
Instead of picking up the fleshy hand, Falken gave a standard military salute, "Sir, I'm very relieved to see that you're still healthy. This time ... ”
"Come on, come on, you're welcome, we've known each other for a long time, sit down and chat."
Round politely interrupted Falken's briefing and pulled him to sit on the reception couch.
"Whew." , took a long breath, as if he had just completed something big, and roundly nested himself on the soft cushion, finding a comfortable position, regardless of the image.
"Xia Guan came over with a group of planes, mainly...
"Hey, Xiaofa, I heard that your academy is in Jiangyin, where freshwater saury is abundant! How does it taste? It's hard to eat, right? ”
"Oh, it's true, the saury has been on the verge of extinction in recent years, and the government intends to ban its consumption... However, I am here this time, mainly for... ”
"Oh, it's a pity, my old Zhang is delicious, if I can't taste this delicacy, I really regret it for life!"
There was a muffled bang, and there was a cloud of dust around the armrests.
With sharp eyes and a powerful blow, the atmosphere of the market dissipated.
"The subordinate is here for supplies, and he will continue to carry out the mission after that."
"Oh ... Understand, understand, the task is important, and the task is the priority. ”
The sharp expression relaxed, his back was straight, and he sat upright on the sofa.
"Then please...
"Oh! I forgot to tell you. I asked the logistics team to hurry up and fix your fighters as soon as possible! ”
"The planes are in top condition and don't need to be repaired."
"Alas, you don't have to say anything about this old man. William of Gnacu reported to me that two of them had power delivery issues and needed to be overhauled. ”
His brow furrowed, and his eyes continued to be sharp.
"I think something must be wrong."
"Xiaofa! You don't have to worry about that. William is an expert, and the opinion of the expert should be respected. ”
"But..."
"Besides, you can't let your men risk driving!"
Rounden smiled and fell, and Falken was silent and frowned.
。。。。。。
"Wow! What a big cafeteria! Is it really possible for thousands of people to eat at the same time? ”
"Excuse me, when will I eat, I'm hungry."
The so-called countrymen entering the city probably looks like this.
The vast field, the soaring ceilings, the dazzling array of novelty facilities, and the officers and soldiers walking around in various uniforms. A long-awaited dream came to my heart. More than once in a dream, he became a member of the mothership and dominated the battlefield.
The Wandering Mothership, walking inside it, is more shocking than viewing it from a distance. Magnificent and dignified, each part shows an unparalleled sense of power.
The officer in charge of the reception did not want to deal with the cadet soldiers, but arranged a sumptuous meal for them, told them not to run around, and left on their own.
The buffet is luxurious. It also gave them a new understanding of the Wanderer. Steaks from Europe, sea bass from Asia, potatoes from the Americas, wild boar from Africa, delicious glacier vegetables, and oversized tomatoes from Oceania are all cooked to perfection.
Bears that fall into the rice bowl give up using utensils and eat directly with their paws. Ignoring the image of a lady, Avina eats eagerly, and the others are all starving ghosts reincarnated.
At first, Liao Fan and Edlaide wanted to maintain their demeanor, but soon realized that the so-called demeanor was really nothing compared to affordability, so they also joined the ranks of the food competition.
The officers and soldiers of the Wandering Horn who passed by the canteen all showed their expressions of laughter when they saw the eating appearance of this group of dirt buns, and the people of the logistics department even sat in a row not far away and watched the play.
In the heat of your fight, there is an alternative. It's like ice cubes in boiling oil, sitting there silently, thoughtful.
The tall figure, delicate appearance, and slight scars not only did not destroy her beauty, but set off her more and more beautifully.
The spectators widened their eyes, opened their mouths wide, and drooled. The officers and soldiers who couldn't help but laugh cast amazing glances. The eating bear couldn't help but wonder and looked up.
Melancholy figure, beautiful girl, sitting quietly in a corner, picturesque.
"What's wrong with you?" Avina's inquiry woke Liao Fan up from his daze.
In the focus, the static painting comes to life. Her big beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked left and right, and after making sure that she was in focus, she lowered her head in embarrassment. The cheeks are flushed, and there is a different kind of cuteness.
Liao Fan was stunned again.
“。。。。。。”
"Not feeling well? Don't have an appetite? ”
“。。。。。。”
The bear bowed his head and continued to eat. Others joined the bears. Avina scrutinized her friend. Liao Fan looked at her thoughtfully.
"Something important?" , Liao Fan had an idea.
Nodding slightly.
"Where?" , Avina and Liao Fan looked at each other and decided to take the initiative of questioning.
"I know something that could be important...
Light as a murmur.
The man and bear continued to eat, and the table was in shambles. The people around continued to watch the play, and the more people gathered, the more people gathered.
Liao Fan pondered, and Avina wondered.
"What's inconvenient?" , or Liao Fan asked.
Nodding again, a flush.
Liao Fan turned around, "Hey, I said you bear, give me some leftover!" ”
"Just the reward of my sacrifice."
"No! Aren't you still alive! Don't put your paw in my bowl. ”
The table fight was staged, and the house was full of laughter. Avina pulled her chair closer to Natalie, leaned down, and brought her small ear to her mouth.
"Tell me what's the matter."
"That... The lieutenant, when he bullied me, said it in passing... ”
Avina's face was first angry, then confused. She turned her head to stare at Natalie for a long time, looking strange.
"It's true! I swear, you look at this. She pulled out a bloodstained wristwatch-style terminal, which was strangely shaped.
Avina's face finally turned solemn.
The eldest sister Huo had to stand up. The noise around him paused, and the eyes were focused.
"This is a serious matter and must be reported." , her voice was clear, in exchange for more attention to the focus.
On the bloody watch, a series of changing numbers, 37:46:07... 06。。。 05。。。
。。。。。。
Signals and alarms alternate, stinging a person's eardrums.
Zhang Zhen rushed to the bridge. The chief of staff looked anxious and paced back and forth.
Without waiting for him to sit down, "The situation is urgent, and the sortie group urgently retreats." There was an urgent report from the reconnaissance planes, and a large number of Imperial fighters were following them. ”
The civilian boss was expressionless.
"Okay, I got it. The whole ship went into combat condition. All the Tempest fighters took to the skies and formed a defensive formation close to the mothership. Non-combatants were transferred to a safe area inside the ship. Also, let Zuma talk to me. ”
Concise, solemn, efficient, round is still round, but no longer amiable.
"Yes!" , Kim Jong-tae regained his usual composure in the salute. He had never participated in the war, and it was the first time he had worked with Zhang Zhen in a combat state. I was worried that this unobtrusive captain would not be able to control the situation, but now it seems that he is overly worried.
。。。。。。
The giant ship floating quietly on the blue sea rose sharply, the air flow roaring, and the turbid waves were surging. The seabirds were delusional that the mountains were rising, and they flew away in panic and wailed.
。。。。。。
At the same time, the wide-area monitor displays countless windows, the status of various parts of the giant ship, the progress of the operation, including various data charts. The bridge space was filled with orders and answers. Kim Jong-tae and Zhang Zhen stood at the command table, staring at the monitor, enlarging the small window from time to time, discussing something.
Beside them, an electronic sand table displays an information simulation of 5,000 kilometers around the giant ship as the center. A large group of red points of light advanced from the southwest of the giant ship at high speed.
Storms turned into streamers and flew out of the catapult port, forming formations around. The Rover has risen to an altitude of 2,000 meters.
The ARBOC jamming missile launcher, the RIM-70 reguided launcher, the Phalanx short-range weapon system, the RIM-1160 strategic weapon launcher and other equipment have surfaced metal hulls. The defensive artillery herds swayed back and forth like grass.
"Sir, you're looking for me!"
The deep, deep sound comes from the other end of the communication loop.
On the monitor, a bald-headed black man filled the entire screen like an iron tower. Zuma is the tactical commander of the Wanderer and the actual combat instructor on the mothership. His eyes were full of determination, and his expression was not in any way shaken by the tense atmosphere outside.
"What do you think?"
"At this stage, we can only rely on air-space fighters to fight defensive warfare."
Zhang Zhen let go of his body and motioned for Kim Zhengtai to enter the video dialogue together, "I want to hear the next step?" ”
Kim Jong-tae: "We have two paths. Fight the enemy right here, or break through to satellite orbit. ”
Zuma: "Or we can hide in the sea." The Atlantic Ocean is big enough for us to hide. ”
In contrast to the rugged exterior, Zouma has added the most conservative approach.
The round face showed a thoughtful expression.
"It's too risky to fight directly in the atmosphere. Hiding in the ocean is too passive. The risk of breaking out of the atmosphere is not small... Let's look for a chance to break through! Hopefully, the enemy's encirclement network is not tight. ”
"Yes!" , both of them responded at the same time.
Stopping the chief of staff who was about to leave, Zhang Zhen's face became more solemn than before, "There is something that needs to be confirmed by the intelligence department." ”
He pulled out the bloody Imperial watch, which read 33:12:10.
