Chapter 013: Leaving Without Farewell
"You have a grandfather."
The Federation is located in the alien base 6, and the woman lying on the hospital bed looks at the little girl in front of her, her face full of reluctance.
"Grandpa?"
"Yes, you have a grandfather."
"What is Grandpa?"
"Daddy's Daddy is Grandpa."
"Can he let me see my father, then?"
The woman on the hospital bed was speechless, she didn't know how to explain it to her daughter, not only because it couldn't be explained to a six-year-old girl, but also because the more she explained it, the more cruel it became.
The problem she didn't know how to deal with was that she was about to do something even more cruel, and although it wasn't meant to be, it was cruel.
"You're going to ask him that."
"Who is he?"
"He's your grandfather."
"Will he answer me?"
"Yes, whatever question you ask, he will answer you, as long as you are obedient."
"Shin Shin is the most obedient."
β¦β¦
It's a somewhat clichΓ©d story.
The alien front line is not only a battlefield, the long distance between the Azure Star and the alien star makes a large number of ordinary daily necessities not suitable for direct transportation over, so there is an alien base. These bases were originally in the Federation's plan, and the purpose of their existence was to mine the resources on the alien planet and build more bases suitable for human survival, so as to alleviate the population pressure on the Azure Star.
When the Empire's army emerged from the Jump Gate that suddenly appeared on the alien planet, the alien base, which was not protected by armed forces, suffered a devastating blow and nearly all of them fell. For the sake of the enemy outside the planet, for the sake of those humans living on the alien planet, for the resources of the alien planet, etc......
The Federation sent troops, and many people who were not directly involved in the war, who served the war in their own way, and where they lived was the alien base.
Among these people are miners, who are responsible for mining the unique resources of the alien planet, botanists, who are responsible for growing crops on the alien planet to solve food stress, construction workers, who are responsible for building and maintaining alien bases, scientists, doctors and nurses......
Ji Chenxing was heroically wounded in a battle and was transferred to the medical system of Base 6 for treatment, so there was a beautiful encounter between a battle hero and an angel in white.
But it is difficult to get a good end to love on the front line, the combat hero is reluctant to leave the front line, and the angel in white is also unwilling to leave the front line, for this reason, the angel in white chose to give birth to the child alone, and is unwilling to reveal who the father of the child is, she doesn't want to delay Ji Chenxing because of this.
"She was sick, very sick, and couldn't take care of that child anymore. So she wanted to find Ji Chenxing, but at that time Ji Chenxing had already been sacrificed. β
"We have confirmed that the child is your granddaughter, if you don't want to believe it, after you go to the No. 6 base of the alien front, you can use relevant technical means to identify it."
Tu Yuan looked at the silent Ji Xinghe, and did not mean to congratulate at all, because this was not a thing worth congratulating.
After reading the information, Ji Xinghe's eyes stayed on the photo of the little girl, and he didn't need to do any identification to be able to determine that the little girl was his granddaughter and his only relative in this world, which was a very peculiar feeling.
"The child's mother ......" Ji Xinghe looked at Tu Yuan: "Can it still be saved?" β
Tu Yuan shook his head slightly: "No, the cancer is terminal." β
"Kid, can you come back?"
When he asked this question, Ji Xinghe's voice trembled a little, because it meant that he had given up on one thing that he had insisted on by any means.
This was originally Tu Yuan's most desired choice, but the problem was that he had to tell the truth, and he was unwilling to lie to this old man.
"No, she was born on an alien planet, and the gravity of the alien star is only one-third of that of our Azure Star, so her body is not enough to support her to return to the healthy life of the Azure Star now. She needs to be treated in combination with the right treatment, and if it goes well, she will be able to come back at the age of eight. β
Compared with the alien environment, the difference is not only gravity, but also air pressure, magnetic field, radiation, etc., the base built by the Federation cannot perfectly restore the environment of the Azure star, adults can live on the alien star for a long time, but it is not easy for newborns.
Ji Xinghe also knew this, when he learned that Ji Chenxing was going to the front line, he frantically supplemented the relevant knowledge on the alien planet, he wanted to be like Ji Chenxing when he was young, he could answer whatever he asked, although Ji Chenxing at that time no longer needed it.
So Ji Xinghe knew that if it didn't go well, his granddaughter would never be able to return to Azure Star, and could only grow up on another planet, and then die due to accidents, wars, and diseases, no matter what the reason, he would be alone again.
"Medium policy." Ji Xinghe looked at Tu Yuan, and said in a hoarse voice: "I choose the middle strategy." β
In fact, the best strategy is best.
Tu Yuan said in his heart, but he didn't know what reason to use to make Ji Xinghe see that girl a year or two later, because he knew very well that a lot of things would happen in a year or two.
"Okay."
"Can you leave today?"
"No, you need to have a detailed medical examination, you need to have an interview, you need to have professional training. Soonest, you can set off for Alien in two months, and the voyage will be three months. β
The distance between Azure and alien stars is not constant, only more than 50 million kilometers at the closest and 400 million kilometers at the farthest. Every fifteen years or so, the two planets are closest to each other, and then drift apart until they get closer again fifteen years later.
Over the next seven years, the distance between Azure and Alien will get closer and closer, which means that the pressure on the front line will increase, as the monkeys of the Empire already know this.
"I can get a medical exam, I can do interviews, and I can also accept your live broadcast of my life after I went to Alien." Ji Xinghe put forward the condition: "But I want to leave within a week, I know that you will have a spaceship to go to another planet within a week." β
Tu Yuan frowned and said, "But if you don't receive training, you won't be able to adapt to life on another planet." β
"I can, I've read a lot of books, I can take exams."
Paper.
Tu Yuan hesitated, but finally nodded.
"If you don't pass the exam, you have to get professional training until you pass the exam."
"Okay."
"Any more requirements?"
"Can I carry my knife?"
"What are you carrying a knife for? To chop down the Empire's mechs? β
"If you have the chance."
"You can't bring it."
"Yes."
Ji Xinghe didn't insist, because he was going to go to Alien to build two more knives, compared to the bulletproof alloy he used, there were better deposits on Alien to smelt better alloys, which was one of the most needed alien resources of the Federation.
Then he went to be interviewed, and the person who interviewed him surprised him a little, not a reporter from the military, nor a well-known reporter or host of the official federal television station, but Pei Jing, who had interviewed him before.
The process is very simple, because Ji Xinghe's story is very simple, but after the interview, Ji Xinghe made a request to Pei Jing.
"Little girl, can you do me a favor?"
"Grandpa Ji, you say."
"Help me find a lawyer, I want to sell my house as soon as possible and buy out my pension, pension."
"Yes, but ...... Grandpa Ji, aren't you ready to come back? β
Ji Xinghe was ready to come back, but he didn't know if he would be able to come back, and he felt that it would cost a lot of money to cure his granddaughter.
"I don't know." Ji Xinghe handed his bag to Pei Jing: "Thank you, little girl, this is for you, it's worthless, you can throw it away if you don't like it."
Pei Jing took it as if it were a treasure, she knew that there were two knives in this bag, they were not sharp, they were not controlled knives, and they were indeed worthless in nature. But for a certain period of time, it carried the hope of Ji Xinghe's revenge, although the time was very short, and the knife was also very short, but the hope was very long, like an endless river.
"I won't lose it, I'll keep it well, Grandpa Ji, you have to take good care of yourself."
"Thank you."
After the interview, Ji Xinghe didn't go home, didn't go to see his friends, neighbors, and colleagues who cared about him, he signed the relevant authorization agreement, and then followed Tu Yuan out of Xinfeng City, took an exam and boarded a spaceship.
He was going to take care of his granddaughter, but he didn't give up on revenge.
He said to Tu Yuan: If there is a chance.
