Chapter 2 Peace

How can you avoid the trouble caused by making mistakes? Wouldn't the best thing to do be to turn that person into an accomplice?

After the spoils were divided, Lunas did not hesitate to side with them, and prepared them with hunting ready smart rifles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

That's it.

Hevia, who threw down his shovel, raised his military rifle and rushed out of the base. Nearby is a coniferous forest that looks like it has emerged from the snow. In that vast area of nature, there seem to be countless wild animals.

Kuwenser followed, but set aside the rifle that Heviase had given him

"Hey, stop playing, if the commander knows about it, I'll have to lecture again. When the time comes, we will definitely say that we lack the spirit of caring for animals, and the nagging will be endless. ”

"I've had enough of that ration, it tastes like konjac made from petrochemicals. You also want to eat tender and juicy meat, right? Besides, it is also strange to be praised for shooting at an enemy soldier, and it is strange to be scolded for shooting at an animal. ”

"Because bullets don't cost money. That's the tax money to shoot the enemy soldiers for us, and the scolding means telling you not to spend the people's hard-earned money. ”

"No, you might as well hold it." Lunas shoved his gun into Kuwenser's arms, "It's more important to be able to eat delicious barbecue than to be scolded." ”

"That's it!" Hevia immediately nodded in agreement, and as he spoke, whether Kuwenser agreed or not, he pulled Kuwenser away.

"It's really alive........" Lunas looked at the pit base.

Although it is a base, there are no buildings made of heavy reinforced concrete. The base area to which Lunas belongs is "mobile", a large fleet of base construction vehicles, each much larger than a large container truck. Soldiers' quarters, radar control towers, and so on, are all set up on huge vehicles. Even the largest OBJECT repair plant is a combination of several super-large special vehicles of tens of meters in line.

This is also one of the rules of war that OBJECT has changed.

How to quickly deploy the strongest combat power and OBJECT to any region is more important militarily than sticking to a fixed place.

Lunas looked at such a new-age base and thought to himself:

(…… The officers with the medals sat in the warm rooms, drinking coffee while waiting for the OBJECT to return with his exploits. )

Come to think of it, complaining here alone won't ease the cold in Alaska, and as Hevia said, it's also true that I'm tired of eating tasteless rations.

Lunas touched the military uniform he was not used to, and found in his pocket a set of wilderness survival tools issued with a knife he didn't know how to use, in addition to a complete set of tools for treating wounds, there were also fire tools and fishing tools.

(It's really complete........ In the heyday of OBJECT, it was really a waste of taxes to send these things. )

The stowed rod is about the same length as a ballpoint pen, but is about 50 centimeters long when elongated – similar to a smelt fishing rod. But it's short, this is an abuse of military technology made of carbon fiber and the like, and the strength and toughness should be very good. There is no baiting, but there are a few imitation baits. It seems that I have thought about how to fish without bait.

Wandering nearby, Lunas found a meandering river and started fishing.

I don't know what the taste of pure natural and pollution-free seafood in the snow field is?

Well, after so many years, the pure foodie mode of Lunas belonging to the Celestial Empire has not changed.

"Well—it's still peaceful today........ Is it? ”

Several staccato gunshots rang out in the distance.

Of course, this is not because the enemy soldiers are killing nearby, but Hevia, who is looking for the deer, is chasing and killing today's dinner. At this time, it is absolutely impossible for a soldier to come and attack the maintenance base area with a super-large OBJECT with his flesh and blood. Because it's no different from trying to destroy a nuclear bunker by a physical ram.

As Lunas thought about these things, the sound of footsteps rustling on the snow came to his ears.

"What are you doing?"

When he turned around, he saw a young girl with a surprised face. He was about fourteen years old, and he felt that he was not suitable for the army than he was to send a student.

Her soft blonde hair is shoulder-length and her skin is snow-white. The eyes are not ordinary blue, but close to azure, and the gaze seems to be looking into the distance, which is difficult to grasp the emotions in them.

The body shape has gone beyond thinness and entered the realm of slenderness.

Her tone was less like asking Lunas himself, more like talking to the sound of gunfire coming from afar.

Lunas answered her question in a flat tone:

"Had a barbecue tonight. I'm in charge of the salmon, and those two idiots are in charge of the deer. Although it's a bit strange to worry about this question as soon as I say it, I don't know if the venison is good or not? Because I haven't eaten it, I'm actually still worried. Hopefully there is no smell. ”

“…… Eat barbecue without vegetables, be careful of early death. ”

The girl sighed, her expression looking like she had opened the box only to find that the contents were boring.

(Girl, are you complaining?) )

Lunas looked away from the rod, which had not moved for a long time

"Where is Her Royal Highness going?"

"Are you provoking me, trying to make me angry?"

The girl's expression didn't change, only at this time she seemed a little angry.

In fact, Lunas and the girl have not met a few times, and they don't know how to get along with her. The girl may have spoken to him on a whim. There shouldn't be some kind of inevitability that leads him to have to communicate with the girl.

That's right.

After all, she's called "ELITE" - a super-sized weapon? OBJECT's driver.

He only occasionally spoke to her and said hello when he was helping out at the repair plant here in Alaska, and they didn't have any friendship. On the one hand, there are middle- and lower-level officers who are not rare, and on the other hand, there are only a handful of elites in the country, and the status of the two is too different.

Her outfit is also different from that of Lunas and the others, and it is an elite driver's suit. How to describe this look...... In short, it is significantly different from ordinary military uniforms. The entire outfit is based on blue and covers the neck to the limbs. Boots and gloves can be put on and taken off at will, and are attached to the entire driving suit with a zipper.

There is also a black armored vest to protect the body on the outside of the driver's suit, and various storage pockets hang from the waist, like a miniskirt. When you actually manipulate the OBJECT, it seems that the lower edge of the vest and the upper edge of the storage bag are connected...... But I don't know if it's a tradition of the army, but the neck part of the pilot's uniform is also sewn with a sailor's collar, which is currently divided into two pieces, and the overall shape looks very close to the school uniform of "Safe Country".

However, the suit is waterproof and can be worn in water, and like the Air Force's flight suit, it has the function of "preventing a large amount of blood from flowing into the lower body and avoiding the decline of brain function". How to say it...... It is a special pilot's suit that far surpasses the existing army, navy, and air force, and has a "OBJECT style".

Lunas remembers the first time he saw her in the repair factory, and he thought that the azure eyes that were different from blue were really glowing, and he couldn't help but be startled. It's just that his impression is wrong. The real reason is that when the object is manipulated, it uses weak infrared rays to detect eye movements as one of the input devices. Under long-term laser irradiation, the original blue color of the iris will deteriorate and fade.

However, this is not "the lens function of the pupil is destroyed by the irregularity of the laser", but "the evolution of the most effective use of the laser effect", and the color will only fade to a certain extent.

The girl said as she looked at Lunas with pale eyes that symbolized her identity

"OBJECT is undergoing repair work. I had nothing to do, so I came out to hang out, and I heard the sound of bumper and bumper. ”

"It's miserable...... Even the base can hear it, and it will really be trained now. Remembering that he had stolen two guns from the house, Lunas couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Anyway, it's already like this, if there is no result at all, I'm afraid the result will be even worse when I go back........"

So Lunas continued fishing.

"It's just that if you don't take it seriously, you will be scolded all day long."

It was almost an escapist act, and the girl looked at Lunas with a look of heartfelt disagreement. I don't know if it's really too idle, or if I rarely get along with people other than regular soldiers.

It seems that because the soldiers think that for them, the operation of the OBJECT is a matter of life and death, so they can't contact the "ELITE" girl who manipulates the OBJECT at will, just in case of a small accident, and the girl seems to be particularly interested in him today. There is not much deep relationship between the two, and when they usually help with repairs in the repair factory, they will only say a few words because of official business.

(Could it be...... Her Royal Highness is also tired of eating rations and is interested in salmon? )

Thinking so, if she really asked, it would definitely make her unhappy.

Just as Lunas was thinking about this, trying to find a topic, the girl spoke first:

"You're here to learn about OBJECT, right? I heard that you will also participate in the design of the next OBJECT, right? ”

"That's right. As long as I help with the maintenance work at the base and survive for three years, I will have a successful route waiting for me when I return to my home country. ”

"Why did you come to this base?"

The girl really seemed to find it strange. "You know what kind of OBJECT I'm operating at this base, right?"

"Comprehensive multi-function type 0BJECT...... It can be used anywhere in the world and in any weather, and it is a standard type of super-large weapon. It can be dispatched by land or sea. ”

"The so-called 'standard' means outdated."

The girl sighed, "The object of the 'second generation' will not be greedy to ask for it to be used anywhere. For example, OBJECTS developed specifically for desert warfare and abandoning all other requirements can surpass "OBJECTS using general tactics" as long as they are in the desert. ”

This is a doctrine that is becoming increasingly popular in the OBJECT manufacturing industry.

When OBJECT first appeared on the battlefield, it was able to play the same level of comprehensive 0BJECT on any battlefield in the world, and was the king of beasts with no natural enemies. But when OBJECT began to appear in various parts of the battlefield, the situation changed.

There is no impossible organism that can be used anywhere without hindrance, and there is no decisive advantage in relation to it. When the war evolved from "OBJECT sweeping general weapons" to "OBJECT vs. OBJECT battle", a new question arose: "How to stand out from the crowd?"

ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS IS TO "ACCEPT THE OVERALL AND AVERAGE PERFORMANCE IMBALANCES AND CREATE AN OBJECT WITH ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGES". THEN, AS LONG AS YOU CONCENTRATE ON USING THIS OBJECT IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU CAN USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, YOU WILL HAVE THE UPPER HAND AGAINST OTHER 0BJECT...... That's the argument for this scenario.

It's the same here in Alaska. Ours is an ordinary OBJECT with no defects. The other party is a "special object with merits". As long as I am in this kind of ice and snow, my OBJECT may not be able to win."

"But Her Royal Highness the Princess is still driving that OBJECT."

“…… Because that's all I can do. ”

The girl known as "ELITE" hesitated for a moment before speaking.

With a total length of more than 50 meters, all the latest military weapons in the past have been reduced to "old generation" super-large weapons? OBJECT。 However, not everyone can become an "ELITE" and become a driver.

The military will draw up a flow chart to search for people who fit perfectly into each project, based on various criteria.

Then, in cooperation with OBJECT, through chemical and electronic means, the candidate's qualifications are artificially refined - so that he can surpass ordinary geniuses, so that people can become terminals that manipulate OBJECT.

The ELITE, which has been thoroughly developed, will live and die with their respective OBJECTS from now on.

It is not necessary to become an ELITE and ride all the objects in the world. The ELITE is only capable of manipulating 0BTECT, which is tuned specifically for itself - no, it should be said that ELITE is a human who makes brain adjustments for each OBJFCT - perhaps it is correct to think so.

ELITE can only operate OBJECTS developed for itself, or successors that have evolved and are located on the same treemap.

If so.

What if the genealogy of the OBJECT you manipulate gradually fails to keep up with the times?

"You may not win."

The ELITE girl who manipulated the invincible OBJECT suddenly spoke:

"Probably not as good as it gets."

JUST TO MANIPULATE THE OBJECT, THE GIRL WHO EVEN HAS A SPECIALIZED BRAIN SAID:

"You don't just believe in OBJECT, but you know that it's really repairing, right? Why would you want to come to such a place? ”
