The new plan was to use the supply ship "Olympus" to lure the Bundeswehr into tracking the fleet, and then weaken it as much as possible. 1(6) k Small Talk àp.1(6)0m Text Version First Release/|\Bubble Book Bar Update Super Fast /|\Because the Federation Fleet has lost all supply ships, a large integrated supply ship like the "Olympus" is exactly what the Federation Fleet needs. The ship is not only fully supplied, but also can provide repair and maintenance services for all kinds of warships. Once there is a chance to capture the "Olympus", it is believed that the Federation fleet will not attack it easily.

After Jiang Ziyue explained his new plan, he asked everyone: "What do you think?" ”

"If the enemy is stupid enough, we can destroy at least half of their fleet." Lotta? Stoddt replied thoughtfully.

"Ideally, that's the case." Jiang Ziyue and Lotta? "But we must not have any illusions, and I estimate that once it is carried out, it will only 'trick' a third of the enemy's ships into being fooled." ”

"Isn't that a bit of a price?" The captain of the ship questioned it.

"Yes, the Olympus is one of the largest supply ships in our entire Imperial Frontier Fleet."

"As the saying goes: reluctant children can't trap wolves. If the bait is not big enough, how can the enemy take the bait? ”

The captains soon formed two opposing points of view, and they were at a stalemate.

"There is no such thing as a victory without paying a price. Especially in the current situation. Jiang Ziyue said optimistically, ending the argument among his men, "I personally think it's worth it to exchange a supply ship for our greater victory." But the key to our success was Captain Guinski's Olympus. Ernst, what is your opinion? ”

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the captain of the supply ship "Olympus", which was the core of the plan. Captain Guinsky.

"Since the Commander is determined to carry out this plan, and everyone believes that it is necessary to strive for a greater victory, it is incumbent upon me to abandon the Olympus." Ernst? Guinski insisted that as an officer and captain of the Senate and the people of Rome, he must fulfill the oath he had taken when he joined the army. "But, sir, allow me to propose a revision."

"Say it."

"Your plan is to abandon Olympus outright. But if there is no one up there, do you think the enemy will still be fooled? "Ernst? In the form of a rhetorical question, Guinski pointed out the shortcomings of Jiang Ziyue's plan.

When he said this, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heavy.

Jiang Ziyue looked at the other party and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Ernst, it's not that I haven't thought about this problem. In order to make the 'decoy' bait 'realistic', the 'Olympus' must have the captain and other officers and men on it. In this way, no matter what the outcome is, the officers and men of the "Olympus" are likely to be captured or even killed. ”

Jiang Ziyue's attitude seemed very contradictory. The new plan was conceived by him, and naturally understood the dangers involved. He didn't want his plan to fail to succeed, and he didn't want to see his subordinates risk their lives.

"As I said, it is my duty to fight for a bigger victory. I request that I personally lead the Olympus in this operation. "Ernst? Guinski looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Looks like that's the only way to do it." Lotta? Stoldt said helplessly.

Others agreed. No one wants to see their comrades take risks, but as a soldier, in order to win, personal life and death and will can only be put aside.

Jiang Ziyue finally made a statement, nodded, and said softly: "Okay, Ernst." ”

"Yes, sir." Ernst? Guinski stood up and replied in a loud voice.

"Do you have any questions?" Jiang Ziyue asked.

"Yes." Lotta? "Our research ships are capable of attacking, and I propose that all of them be put into battle to make up for our lack of firepower." ”

Jiang Ziyue immediately shook his head, "We can't involve scientific ships in battle, they are not warships, they are protected by law and international law." ”

"Sir, Captain Staudett has a point." Has a captain support Lotta? Stoldt's thoughts.

"No, I don't agree with that." Jiang Ziyue's tone was very resolute, "No matter what, we can't put those precious research ships in front of enemy firepower. If there are no problems, let's start preparing immediately, please. ”

When the captains left the conference room one after another, Jiang Ziyue called out to Lotta? Stoldt.

It wasn't until there were only the two of them left in the conference room that Jiang Ziyue asked, "Rota, on the nineteenth, you said on the phone that your mother urged you to get married, can I know your motive for telling me about this?" ”

"Motivation?" Lotta? Stoldt rolled her blue eyes and said in surprise, but she didn't answer immediately, and hesitated before saying, "How can I say it, I was a little impulsive at the time." I was worried about what happened during the battle, and I didn't leave any last words. ”

Her tone was rather nervous. Maybe too focused on her career, Rota? Staudett wasn't good at expressing his feelings.

"Can this also be counted as a last word?" Jiang Ziyue couldn't help laughing, he could feel the other party's embarrassment, so he said seriously: "We have also been good friends for many years." I think you said this to me at the time, and combined with your tone at the time, I thought it was self-righteous......"

Jiang Ziyue deliberately stopped and looked at Rota? Stoldt, observing the change in the other person's expression.

Lotta? Stoldt didn't look directly at Jiang Ziyue, her fair face was flushed, she obviously knew what Jiang Ziyue wanted to say next, but she still asked with a faint smile: "What do you think?" ”

Jiang Ziyue didn't continue immediately, but said directly: "There are just the two of us here, and the conference room is soundproofed." If you have anything in your heart, just say it. ”

"I talked to Dr. Chen." Stoldt said immediately, and focused his gaze on Jiang Ziyue's face.

"It's between the two of you 'women'." Can Jiang Ziyue guess Lotta? Staudet talked to Chen Weiyin about something, but he seemed rather unconcerned, smiling and smug. Can you now fully identify Lota? Stoldt's heart for himself.

What could be happier than to know that another 'woman' is in love with him?

"You shouldn't continue to have illusions about her." Lotta? Stoldt admonished Jiang Ziyue in a very serious tone, and even used "you" instead of "you" in the allegation: "You should think about your future." ”

"Thank you for your advice. But as you know, I miss her. Jiang Ziyue said affectionately, as if Chen Weiyin was also present, and he wanted to tell her seriously.

"But her feelings for you have faded, and she told me herself that she has no intention of resuming her relationship with you. She also said that past feelings do not necessarily form the basis for living together in the future. ”

"That doesn't mean I can't love her deeply." Jiang Ziyue seemed to be in love, "She is my first love, I can't forget her, and it's hard to let go of her." ”

"What if another 'woman' falls in love with you?" Stoldt's question diverges to a deeper level.

"That's their power." Jiang Ziyue said with a smile. The other party's words really made him happy, so much so that he boasted triumphantly, "Hehe, the contemptible man is an outstanding young man who is handsome and chic, young and promising, wise and brave." The beautiful 'women' of New Rome have every right to choose despicable people as their wishful husbands. ”

Actually, in Lota? In front of Stoldt, Jiang Ziyue has said this kind of joke many times. But this time, instead of sneering as usual, Staudert asked solemnly:

"What if that 'woman' is me?"

Because he had already guessed the psychology of the other party before, Jiang Ziyue was not surprised by the question that suddenly popped up, but he was still at a loss for a moment and couldn't answer immediately.

Looking at the other party's rapidly solidifying smiling face, Rota? Stoldt continued: "You want to know why I told you about the marriage that day. I'm telling you. ”

She paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Because I'm in love with you and want to marry you." Although we don't have a foundation for love, marriage doesn't have to be love. We know each other well, we work in the same profession, and we can live happily together. ”

Lotta? Stoldt's direct confession was something Jiang Ziyue didn't expect. He didn't know what to do, stared at the bald 'female' captain in front of him in a daze, and asked in a low voice for a long time: "Is this a formal marriage proposal?" ”

"It's very unusual, compared to the story in the movie, it seems that the position between us is reversed. But for the love in my heart, I had to take the initiative. "Lota? After Stoldt finished speaking, he raised his gaze to the sky 'flower' board, waiting for the other party's response.

After a little thought, Jiang Ziyue responded, "Listen, Rota. Since the first day we met, I've never had that kind of feeling for a man in love with you. We are good friends and I understand how you feel. But I can't accept your request. ”

Lotta? Stoldt moved his gaze back to Jiang Ziyue's face, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and asked with a tone of loss, "You asked me to stay just to make me understand this?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Ziyue replied, "Since you have made a hint, I have to make it clear to you that I am not your only choice." I'm deeply in love with a 'woman', but not you. And we are still on the front lines of the war, we can become martyrs at any time, and the relationship between you and me is so special, alumni, friends, comrades-in-arms, and comrades-in-arms, and now we have to be 'covered' with the veil of love and love, which makes it impossible for me to devote myself to the fight against the enemy. ”

"I can feel the pressure you were under in battle when Dr. Chen was trapped on the planet Yi." Lotta? Stoldt said softly, with an empathetic gesture. "But I didn't expect that my behavior would also cause you trouble, I'm sorry."

"No, Lotta." Jiang Ziyue shook his head vigorously and said, "In the face of love, everyone has pressure. It's just that I think it's good for both of us to make it clear. I think you're feeling a lot lighter by now, just like I am, even if it didn't turn out the way you wanted. ”

"Yes." Lotta? Stodder was relieved.

Jiang Ziyue 'revealed' the micro-pen again, and said: "I also felt relaxed after confessing to the person I liked for the first time. ”

"I've finally had that experience." Lotta? Stoldt stood up, called Jiang Ziyue's English name, and said, "Werther, I won't give up, I will definitely snatch you from Chen Weiyin's hands." ”

"Hehe, it looks like I'm still hot." Jiang Ziyue laughed happily. Whether it is a man or a 'woman', it is usually overjoyed to be the focus of the competition for the opposite sex. Then he said in a joking tone, "I remind you that I'm not her person yet, and you still have a lot of opportunities." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take my chance." Lotta? A relaxed smile spread across Stoldt's face.

Then Jiang Ziyue put away his smiling face and said, "I hope this incident will not affect your mood." The battle that follows can be very difficult and significant. You've sworn to be the best captain in the Empire. ”

"That doesn't mean I can't fall in love and pursue the man I love." Lotta? Stoldt responded to the other party's admonition seriously, "On the contrary, in my eyes, a good commander, in addition to the ability to 'show', should also have a happy family. Believe me, I can handle the relationship between war and love. ”

Jiang Ziyue had no choice but to nod trustfully in understanding.

Lotta? After Captain Staudet left, Jiang Ziyue also prepared to return to the "Siegfried". Joseph? Captain Dietrich, although acting as the captain of the ship, was also his flagship, and he had to return there to command the fleet.

At this time, the public address system of the "Olympus" came to the leader of the scientific expedition, Ulf ? Bernstein's voice: "Major Jiang Ziyue, please go to the 'ruler' No. 9 immediately, please go to the No. 4 docking cabin." We have a very important situation to inform you. ”

With the help of the high speed and stable 'sex' performance of the self-propelled pole, Jiang Ziyue quickly traveled several kilometers on the huge "Olympus" and came to the scientific research ship "Ruler No. 9", which was connected to the supply ship through the No. 4 docking cabin.

"Ruler No. 9" has a multimedia conference room for scientific and technical personnel to 'communicate' and discuss. At this time, in the center of the conference room, Chen Weiyin made a report by hanging in the air through a self-propelled pole, and next to her were several large-scale stereoscopic images, showing various information obtained by the scientific expedition team after landing on the interstellar planet "Yi". All the members of the expedition team who returned from the planet Yi and the scientists on the other research ships sat around the conference room and listened carefully to Chen Weiyin's report.

When Jiang Ziyue arrived, Chen Weiyin's report had just ended. She glanced at her ex-boyfriend who had been brought in by the self-propelled pole, and slid back to her seat with a cold expression of ''.

Expedition team Ulf? Bernstein, with the help of his pole, came to the center of the conference room and announced loudly: "This concludes Dr. Chen's presentation, and further discussions will be communicated to you later." For now, please take a moment to the others. Dr. Chen and I had briefings with Commander Major Jiang Ziyue on state secrets. ”

The scientists of New Rome got up, fastened their self-propelled slings, and left the conference room.

Jiang Ziyue deliberately '' the vertical pole to slide near Chen Weiyin and sat on the seat next to her.

"Welcome back to the arms of the Imperial Army, dear doctor." Jiang Ziyue had a warm smile on his face and said to Chen Weiyin cordially.

Chen Weiyin ignored it, twisted her head to the other side, and showed a typical sulking appearance of a 'woman' life.

"Yo, what kind of attitude do I say?" Jiang Ziyue immediately put away his smile and said dissatisfiedly, "It's obviously your fault that you landed on the 'Yi' planet without my permission, so that we have to risk attacking the enemy and rescue you." ”

Chen Weiyin turned his face, his face was full of unhappiness, glared at Jiang Ziyue angrily, and asked continuously in a stern tone: "Who made you yell at me in a public call?" And said you want to arrest me? Who do you think of me? ”

"Oh, it's wrong for me." Jiang Ziyue couldn't help but smile bitterly. His former 'girlfriend' is like this, not only willful 'sex', but also a stingy 'woman' who loves face.

"Mr. 'Woman', let's get started." Ulf? Bernstein exclaimed.

"Professor, do you want to inform me about the results of the expedition to the interstellar planet 'Yi'?" Jiang Ziyue asked.

"Sort of." Bernstein replied ambiguously.

"Sort of?"

"That's right." Ulf? Bernstein explained that the stereoscopic images around him also changed to show what he was about to explain, "Dr. Chen and her team found a lot of traces of flowing water on the interstellar planet Yi. However, only trace amounts of water vapor were found. Judging by the traces left behind, the water should have disappeared about ten days ago. ”

"This is just when we are getting close to this interstellar planet." Jiang Ziyue said suspiciously, "Such a coincidence? ”

"We can't explain where the disappearing water goes." "The atmosphere is dominated by hydrogen, with very little water vapor, which is unlikely to reach a mass that can cause visible marks on the ground in terms of volume ratio. That is, there is more water that suddenly disappears without a trace. ”

"Moreover, the infrared radiation with life characteristics captured by the original remote sensing system has also disappeared, and no signs of life have been found in the location of the infrared radiation 'radiation'."

"It seems that this interstellar planet is really unusual." Jiang Ziyue shouted.

"It should be said that it is weird!" Chen Weiyin's tone sounded as if he had palpitations.

"Weird?"

Chen Weiyin replied: "We used sonar to probe the formation, but we couldn't get any echo. After drilling to 100 meters with an 'excited' light drilling machine, it is impossible to drill any further. All the energy of the 'excited' beam that was 'emitted' was absorbed. ”

How do you explain that? Special substances? Jiang Ziyue asked suspiciously.

"There's something even weirder, Major."

Bernstein finished his transformation and asked the computer to change the stereoscopic image. The original three-dimensional image showing the data and terrain of the "Yi" planet has become a situation map of the Imperial Task Force Task Force 9 attacking the Bundeswehr spherical ship array, but unlike the situation map of the warships, the entire universe and the "Yi" planet are marked with longitude and latitude.

"The second 'space storm' we launched caused some of the Federation's warships to crash into the 'Yi' planet driven by the superluminal speed 'warp bubble'." Bernstein explained to the image, "Theoretically, there should be quite a few Federation warships that would crash into the planet 'Yi' at super-light speeds. But the truth is completely beyond our imagination. ”

I saw that the image moved, and in the spherical ship array of the Federation that was 'disrupted' by the "space storm", some of the warships were thrown towards the interstellar planet "Yi", and then they were forcibly divided into two strands, bypassing the "Yi" planet, and continuing to be thrown into the depths of the universe from the other side of the planet.

"This is an image from the gravitational detection of Vector III. Since Federation warships are in a faster-than-light state, we originally thought that the gravitational pull of the planets forced these ships to circle around the planets. However, after a detailed analysis and a recalculation of the gravitational force of the 'easy' planet, we have overturned the conclusions just made. But we still can't figure out how the Federation's warships could have strangely bypassed the 'easy' planet when they were forcibly brought to the speed of light. ”

The keen Jiang Ziyue quickly asked, "Professor, do you mean that the Federation's runaway warships will bypass the 'Yi' planet, is it affected by factors other than the 'space storm' and the planet's gravity?" ”

"Yes." Bernstein nodded, "And this factor that cannot be detected and confirmed is likely to be far beyond our scientific knowledge." The space distortion caused by the 'space storm' is equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of times the speed of light, and changing the state of a runaway faster-than-light battleship in such a short period of time is equivalent to changing the 'warp bubble' state of the enveloping battleship. This is not possible with our level of technology. ”

"So, this planet is really 'weird.'" Jiang Ziyue said thoughtfully.

Bernstein continued: "Major Jiang, you asked me earlier whether this scientific expedition had anything to do with the search for 'Antnest', and now it seems that there may be some connection. ”

"You're saying this interstellar planet is the legendary 'Antnest'?"

Bernstein hastened to reply: "No, we can't be sure yet. We don't know exactly what 'Antnest' means. However, legend has it that 'Antnest' can control the power of the universe, and the phenomenon produced by our army's second 'Space Storm' attack has already made us see the ability to control space far beyond our capabilities. So, I think it might have something to do with 'Antnest'. Of course, I'm only talking about 'maybe'. Because we can't yet confirm whether the phenomenon just mentioned is man-made or a natural reality. ”

After listening to Bernstein's words, Jiang Ziyue thought for a while and made a suggestion: "So, can we do another experiment and gather the fleet to create a 'space storm' on the 'easy' planet?" If there really exists something like the legendary 'Antnest', we can definitely see interesting phenomena. ”

"Major, your idea sounds very good." Bernstein seemed to be praising Jiang Ziyue's idea, but then said firmly: "But this is completely contrary to the ethics and principles of science, and the 'space storm' will seriously affect the orbital state of the 'Yi' planet, as well as the atmosphere above her, and even her own structure." I am very much against this practice. ”

"You know what some extreme environmentalists are protesting against?" Chen Weiyin, who was next to him, added, "They think that our Akuberi faster-than-light method itself is constantly destroying the natural order of the universe. If we do what you say, it will be a more drastic disruption of the natural order of the universe. ”

What Chen Weiyin said, Jiang Ziyue also heard a little. It is a kind of environmental protection 'trend' that arose as mankind entered the superluminal interstellar age, because its core idea is that human development will inevitably lead to the destruction of the universe, so it is also called "pessimistic cosmic environmentalism".

"Pessimistic cosmic environmentalists" believe that human beings use the Akuberi engine to trigger space "waves" to achieve superluminal speed, which will seriously damage the original spatial order of the universe and eventually accelerate the death of the universe. In their eyes, faster-than-light flight in interstellar space is like trampling on green grass, which will destroy space.

In the eyes of those who oppose this kind of ideological 'trend', the cosmic space is not a green grassland, but flowing water, and it is the kind of thing that "'draws' the knife to cut off the water and the water flows more". Even if the spaceship passes by frequently, it will eventually disappear without a trace, just like the sea on the planet. Moreover, most of the human spacecraft only fly on a fixed route, and even if there is a situation where the vehicle is overweight and crushes the road, it is limited to a limited space, and the impact on the universe that can be regarded as almost infinite is negligible.

Jiang Ziyue did not raise his idea to the level of "cosmic environmental protection", but only put it forward out of a psychology of exploring science. Since even the most professional scientists do not approve of it, of course he can only do it. So he smiled and said to Bernstein and Chen Weiyin: "I just came up with an idea, and I didn't plan to really do it." Moreover, in the face of such things, you are the leader. ”

Then he changed the subject, saying, "If this interstellar planet really involves 'Antnest,' then the situation will definitely get complicated. We, New Rome and the Commonwealth of Immortals, will surely devote much greater force to the contention. ”

"Anyway, Professor, I think we should go back to the planet Yi and do more research to find out what it contains." Chen Weiyin said.

"I think so too, Major." Bernstein said solemnly to Jiang Ziyue, "This is a strange interstellar planet, which is really attractive." ”

"Then we will have to wait until our army has routed the enemy fleet." Jiang Ziyue said with confidence, "However, the time should not be far away." ”
