Chapter 44: The Summons
While Lin Feng was laughing and talking with his brothers, in a high-level ward of the military hospital, Wang Renjian was lying on the hospital bed leisurely, looking at the middle-aged man on the sofa next to him.
"Dad, I don't want to go back to the army, the training there is too hard, I can't stand it." The voice is very loud, making people feel that their hairs stand on end.
"No, I can't. You've only been training for recruits for three months, and you want to come back, what is it to be in the army? Vegetable market? You are not afraid of losing face, but as a dignified lieutenant general, I still want this face. Since you were so determined to go to the Space Combat Force, then you should stay for me and make a fool of myself. ”
"Dad!" Wang Renjian dragged a long note, as if he was coquettish.
"Don't talk like that. Lao Tzu I is famous, how did he give birth to a son is this virtue! ”
"I don't want to go back anyway, it's good here. I really have to thank that Lin Feng. beat me up, but let me escape such a dangerous rescue mission, and lay in bed to watch a good show. However, I won't let you go, Lin Feng, if you dare to offend me and bully my goddess, I will definitely make you and your subordinates pay! Wang Renjian's face showed a hint of cruelty, and he said viciously.
"Renjian, you can't mess around, at least not now. Bruce's old guy won't last long, and the captain's position will soon change. I have endured it for so long, and I have waited for so long, just hoping to sit in that position. You can't mess with me at this critical time! ”
"But Dad, you just watched me being bullied by that Lin Feng?"
"You can't move this Lin Feng for the time being. The old guy took him very seriously, and he didn't know what was worth his attention to in that kid. Anyway, you're right to listen to me. As for your petty fights, when I become the captain of the ship, are you afraid that I won't have a chance? ”
Wang Renjian looked unwilling.
"Also, with your little injury, I came to live in a senior ward, and I stayed for eighteen days, what do you let others think of me. You'll be back tomorrow! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will send someone to escort you back! ”
………………
After twenty days of treatment, Lin Feng's body finally fully recovered and he could be discharged from the hospital. When he walked out of the gate with a relaxed fit and was about to report back to the recruit brigade, two "Dragon Thorn" team members in black combat uniforms stood in front of him.
"You're Lin Feng from the recruit brigade, right?"
"I'm Lin Feng, do you have anything to do?"
"It's you, please come with us!"
Lin Feng was confused, this "Dragon Thorn" was the most mysterious department on the starship, what did they have to do with them?
Lin Feng didn't say much. The so-called blessing is not a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, the starship is such a big place, and there is no place to escape, not to mention that he has not done anything wrong, or the hero that the captain has just commended, what are you worried about?
Without saying anything, Lin Feng nodded. The two "Dragon Thorn" team members stepped forward and one after the other, sandwiching Lin Feng in the middle and walking towards the center of the starship.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a heavily guarded place. The two of them took Lin Feng to an alloy door, shook a card in his hand, and the alloy door opened silently, but it was only a narrow passage that only allowed one person to pass through.
At this moment, an officer wearing a major general's uniform came out of the passage. A member of the "Dragon Thorn" team stepped forward, saluted him, and whispered, "The person has been brought, please accept it." ”
The major general casually returned a military salute and looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, please come with me." "Turn around and lead the way.
Lin Feng was full of doubts. Looking at the battle in front of him, he will use a young man as a guide, and the person who summoned him must be not small, so I don't know who it is? But I'm just a recruit, and the rank of lieutenant has just been promoted, so there's nothing worth summoning the big guys? Forget it, if you don't understand it, you don't want to, and if you see it, you know.
The two of them passed through one alloy gate after another, and Lin Feng was secretly speechless: With such strict security measures, there are as many as eight alloy gates, each of which is two meters thick, and each one has a different way of passing. What kind of place are you going?
Finally, the Major General took him to the last alloy gate, shrugged his shoulders apologetically, and said to Lin Feng: "I'm sorry, I can only take you here, I don't have the permission to enter this door." You go in. I'll be waiting for you at the eighth gate. ”
Looking at the back of the major general turning away, Lin Feng opened his mouth, but he didn't ask. If you're leaving, you'll have to tell me how to open this door, right?
Taking a strong breath to calm his heart, Lin Feng walked to the door, raised his hand, and knocked gently. I was holding the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that an old voice came from inside:
"You're here, Lin Feng. Come in, the door is not closed. ”
Lin Feng gently pushed the door, but unexpectedly found that this door was very light and thin, and it was not as heavy as the doors just now.
The door opened, Lin Feng looked inside, and saw a huge and empty room in the center of the room, an old man in a general's uniform was sitting there, looking at him with a smile on his face, looking kind and kind.
"I didn't expect it to be me, Lin Feng. Quick, come here. ”
Lin Feng's face was shocked. He didn't expect that it would be the captain of a ship, the dignified Federation Admiral Bruce, who summoned him.
"Mr. Captain, where is this?"
"This is the heart of the Atlantis, the central control room. It can be said that you are the only person who has entered without permission for thousands of years. ”
"But I'm just a recruit."
"No, it's the lieutenant. Mr. Lieutenant, you may be seated. ”
In front of Bruce, Lin Feng didn't dare to hold it up, but still stood straight.
"Then you can stand and answer my questions."
"Lin Feng, I took a look at your information. About two and a half years ago, you were still working as an administrator in the D area of agriculture and animal husbandry, right? ”
"Yes, Mr. Captain."
"Then why are you there?"
"Because my data was terrible in the physical and mental tests when I was young, people thought that I couldn't be a good person, so they arranged for me to learn animal husbandry knowledge so that I could do some work within my ability."
"Then why have you joined the army again now, and you have become a very strong soldier?"
"This ......" Lin Feng hesitated, although he thought about revealing his secret, but when it came to the end, he was also afraid, afraid that he would become the object of slicing and studying. Don't think that this won't happen, as long as it's good for the survival of the entire starship's residents, it's okay to sacrifice one person, right?
As if seeing Lin Feng's concern, Bruce smiled and changed the subject.
"Lin Feng, what do you think of the prospects of our interstellar voyage business?"
This is a difficult question. Lin Feng thought about it seriously, considered the language, and tried to answer more appropriately.
Bruce waved his hand and said to Lin Feng:
"You don't have to answer first, let me give you an analysis. For a long time, the people on our starships always thought that as long as the speed of the interstellar ship was fast enough and the weapons were advanced enough, they would be able to achieve the goal of crossing the vast void and landing on a new planet. But is our goal just to land? We still have to survive and reproduce in this new world. But what if the environment of the planet we landed on is extremely harsh, or there are strong native creatures? Our weapons are very advanced, but we are not trying to destroy a planet, but to create a new home. Weapons are not the most important factor in achieving our goals. The most important factor is people. We need everyone on the starship to be strong enough, strong enough to adapt to all kinds of extreme environments, to be able to defeat all kinds of powerful creatures. ”
"But the reality is far from optimistic. Judging from the rescue process this time, our most powerful fighters suffered such huge casualties in the face of 10 times the atmospheric pressure. So, if in the future we will face dozens or even hundreds of times the pressure on the planet, and even many difficulties that we cannot predict, what will we do to deal with them? Will we continue our thousand-year voyage to find a planet to which our weak bodies can adapt? Or do you wear protective clothing all the time and linger on it? ”
"So, if we can't solve this problem, then our millennial efforts will suffer a major setback, or even a complete failure!"
