Six o'clock in the afternoon.

The city of Sil is still lit up with neon, and the holographic projection advertisements among the high-rise buildings are even more brilliant in color under the reflection of the mist that hangs over the city.

The dancing light and shadow, like a mirage, swirled around this steel jungle.

Looking up, it looks like a dreamy picture, which is dizzying.

With the influx of a large number of Blue Star players, this steel city seems to have been re-injected, no longer like half a month ago, the overall appearance of a decadent and decaying atmosphere, has become much more lively.

The filth, graffiti-filled streets and alleys where the alien natives roam like the walking dead are replaced by blue star players with enthusiastic faces.

Although in terms of racial appearance, Blue Star players are no different from Tia people, and they are all human in nature.

But the mental state between the two sides is two extremes that are completely diametrically opposed.

And this kind of special label-like spiritual outlook is also one of the important characteristics that make it easy to distinguish Blue Star players from Tia's remnants.

At this moment, near the shaft access to the lower level.

There was a group of Blue Star players dressed differently who were pouring out of the city at the same time, walking towards the direction of the elevator.

It can be seen from their state of hooking shoulders and backs to each other that these people are very familiar with each other and obviously belong to the same force.

Among them, a slender young man who looked to be in his early twenties walked briskly at the front of the queue.

He trotted all the way, and kept looking back frequently, shouting at the people behind him:

"Brothers, hurry up, run! The commander is about to set sail, and he won't be able to see him off any later! ”

Someone replied with a smile:

"Don't panic, it's not like the commander won't come back, and he won't be able to go too long this time, look at your kid in a hurry!"

In the crowd, someone else quipped:

"Can you not be in a hurry, Ah Hao, this kid has fallen in love with our commander since the day he joined the fleet, and he dreamed of falling under the commander's pomegranate skirt, although our commander has always been dressed in men's clothes, only wearing pants......"

"Hahaha......"

……

Everyone burst into laughter and joked.

The young man at the head turned red, and retorted inconsistently:

"Go and go, don't arrange our commander there, let Director Luo hear it, and throw it all into the sea to feed the fish! This is the maiden voyage of our fleet, which is of great significance, and the sense of ceremony must be sufficient! ”

After a pause, the young man seemed to remember something, and added:

"Look at the heavy fleet, how big the battle is when the commander returns, although we are not as many as them, but in terms of momentum, we must not be bad, brothers, hurry up!"

Hearing this, someone in the crowd once again quipped:

"Come on, Hao, which of our brothers can't see your thoughts? But my brother still advises you, don't think about those unrealistic, you and our commander are completely people from two worlds, with the ability and status of our commander, if you want to find the commander-in-chief of the Chongming fleet, the former captain of the Guixu is the kind of talent, and when people walk together, it is called a good match!

We ordinary people, just be able to live well in this ice ocean, can't you keep it, isn't it fragrant to find an alien girl? Why do you have to climb high branches?! ”

When the words fell, several people next to him hurriedly echoed, and the young man who said it turned red, and he was immediately embarrassed.

In the end, the young people all muttered:

"Say whatever you want, sir, I won't play with you anymore!"

As he spoke, he ran forward with extremely fast steps, distancing himself from the crowd behind him.

Everyone burst into laughter, but the pace of action sped up a little.

A group of people talked and laughed into the shaft elevator, from the second-floor commercial area of Xi'er City, to the ground floor industrial area.

Then, he walked straight in the direction of Dock 81.

When I came here, the vicinity of the dock passage was already overcrowded.

The metal aisle leading to the outer corridor was surrounded by a bustling crowd of people, and the cheers rose higher and higher.

Four heavily armed security officers of the city of Sil were on duty in the corridor with guns as if they were facing a great enemy.

Looking at the lively scene in front of them, the four security officers did not step forward to stop them, but just maintained a high degree of vigilance with great vigilance, staring at the crowd of people coming and going.

From this point, it can be seen that the alliance's control over Blue Star players, at least here in Sil City, is much more relaxed than at the beginning.

At this time, in the center of the passage of dock No. 81.

A tall and heroic cold beauty, with a smile on her face, waved around:

"Okay, let's go back, it's not too early, if you delay it any longer, it's better to stay for dinner!"

The person who spoke had a clear, crisp voice, and had a refreshing short hair.

It was the female commander of the Northern Underworld Fleet, An Ran.

Today is the day of the inaugural voyage of the Northern Underworld Fleet.

In addition to the Chongming Fleet, this is the second force in the Blue Star player group to step out into the deep zone, which can be regarded as of great significance.

In fact, the date of the inaugural voyage of the Northern Fleet was not originally set for today, but in the early morning of two days.

The reason why it was so hasty was because the intelligence system of the Northern Underworld Fleet didn't know where it got the news that the space tide was about to erupt.

For the sake of safety, avoid being disturbed by the strange tides caused by the space tides.

An Ran, who has always acted vigorously and resolutely, immediately decided to disrupt the original plan and set sail immediately!

Therefore, the date of the first voyage of the Northern Fleet was chosen at more than six o'clock in the afternoon near nightfall.

Otherwise, the normal departure time should be in the morning.

At this point in time, the implication is really not very good.

"Commander An, things started in a hurry, and we didn't have time to prepare, so we can only send a blessing, I wish you a smooth journey!"

In the crowd, Chen Yu, who was straight and proud of his temperament, looked at An Ran with a smile.

He also just got the news, but he didn't expect the itinerary of the Northern Underworld Fleet to change suddenly, so he could only reluctantly put down the work at hand and come empty-handed.

However, before leaving, he sent a message to Meng Lei informing him of the matter.

But I don't know if the other party will be able to catch up with the send-off.

"Captain Chen is polite!"

An Ran looked at Chen Yu with a smile on his face, and said with a slight bow:

"The relationship between the two of us, do you still need those empty heads, you can take time out of your busy schedule to come, that's enough."

Having said that, Chen Yu still felt a little reluctant in his heart.

The two fleets were not far from each other, separated by only more than two dozen dock passages, and the distance was no more than two kilometers.

No matter how busy you are, it won't take too long to visit the door.

When Enron set sail for the Chongming fleet, he rushed over early in the morning to deliver flowers, and came to greet him in person when he returned.

On such a grand day for the other party, the Chongming fleet did not even prepare a gift.

This made Chen Yu feel a little rude, and he couldn't hold his face.

"Commander An, since it's already this time, it's not in a hurry to set sail, it's better to wait a little longer, Commander Meng should be almost there."

Chen Yu spoke again, trying to buy time for Meng Lei.

He had just received a reply from Meng Lei, knowing that Meng Lei and Utu-Sirku Industries had finished their talks and were on their way.

If you don't have a good face, it will pass, but Meng Lei, as the commander-in-chief of the Chongming fleet, especially if he is still in Xi'er City, if people don't show up again, it is really a bit unreasonable.

An Ran smiled and shook his head, his clear eyes did not reveal too much emotion, and he was about to say something.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in the rear.

"Let's go! Let's get it! ”

"Move in front, borrow light, borrow light!"

"The captain of the Guixu is here, comrades get out of the way!"

……

Shouts intertwined, although more than a week has passed, there are still many people who are still not very comfortable with the title of the Chongming fleet, and their impression of Meng Lei is still stuck on the miracle that the Guixu once created.

In the midst of these shouts, the crowd automatically lined up on both sides, and the congested metal corridor immediately vacated a narrow passageway.

And Chen Yu and An Ran turned their heads at the same time at the beginning of the riot.

In the center of the bustling crowd, there was a cluster of eye-catching fiery red explosive pomegranate branches standing tall, and the red fruits were constantly shaking on the branches, slowly approaching this side.

As the gathered crowd gave way, Meng Lei, who was dressed in a straight captain's uniform, gradually appeared in the field of vision.

At first, when Chen Yu heard the news of Meng Lei's arrival, he was still smiling slightly.

But when he saw the potted pomegranate flower that Meng Lei was holding in his hand, which was more than half a person tall, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and he immediately shook his head with a helpless and funny wry smile.

An Ran stood aside, and his face did not change much.

But when her clear gaze fell on Meng Lei's sweaty figure and the potted pomegranate flower with a lush exploding bomb, it was obviously much softer, and there was a faint hint of imperceptible strangeness.

seems to be slightly surprised by Meng Lei's appearance.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm late, I didn't delay your departure, right?"

Meng Lei panted through the bustling crowd and strode in front of An Ran.

Then he carefully put down the pot of pop-bomb pomegranate flowers and took a deep breath.

This crazy run like a fate really tired him enough.

After a brief communication with Yarman about the Utu-Sirku company's support plan, Meng Lei did not stay at the bar for long.

After exchanging contact information with Yarman, the meeting ended directly.

Just after he left the bar and didn't go too far, he received a text message from Chen Yu on the tablet.

It was said that An Ran was about to lead the Northern Underworld Fleet to set sail, becoming the second Blue Star player fleet in the 66671 Channel to explore the deeper sea area behind Xi'er City after the Chongming Fleet, and asked Meng Lei to come and see him off as soon as possible.

This sudden news immediately shocked Meng Lei's heart.

He never expected that the Northern Underworld Fleet would choose to set sail at this time, which was completely unreasonable and caught people off guard.

In a hurry, Meng Lei didn't have time to prepare.

remembered the promise he had made to Enron before, and when he set sail, he also gave her a potted pomegranate flower with explosive bombs, which meant a good fortune.

So, on the way here, Meng Lei turned around and went to the alien flower market in the commercial area, spent thousands of oceans enduringly, bought a potted plant that grew most luxuriantly in the store, and hurriedly rushed all the way to send it over.

Fortunately, most of the plant's medium is based on a special nutrient solution, and the soil is very small.

Even the flower pots are made of special materials, and the weight is not particularly heavy.

Otherwise, these few kilometers of travel will be rushed, and Rao will not be able to bear Meng Lei's physical fitness.

"Captain Meng, you have a heart!"

At this time, the tall An Ran slowly stepped forward, personally picked up the potted pomegranate flower plant, and solemnly thanked Meng Lei.

Meng Lei gasped, waved his hand a little embarrassed but disappreciatively, and said with a smile:

"Commander An, you're out there, this relationship between us, why are you polite to me!"

Words similar to what An Ran had just said came out of Meng Lei's mouth again.

The feeling of déjà vu couldn't help but make An Ran sneer.

She wanted to tease Meng Lei as a big sister as usual.

But there are too many people around to see them off, and in this environment, Meng Lei, as the commander-in-chief of a fleet, still has to give him the majesty and face he should have.

So, An Ran smiled lightly:

"Alright, that's it, I appreciate your kindness, if you're still in Sil City when you return, we'll get together again."

After a pause, An Ran looked at Meng Lei with bright eyes, and said:

"Go get busy, don't send it, we're ready to set sail!"

Meng Lei's breath had not calmed down at the moment, so he took a deep breath and looked back at An Ran.

For this female commander, whose style has always been refreshing and has never been restrained by the lake, he doesn't think that there is anything wrong with the other party not inviting him to get on the boat to drink saliva and catch his breath.

If An Ran was really polite to him, he would feel a little awkward.

Nodding slightly, Meng Lei also replied happily:

"Okay, then I won't delay your trip, pay attention to safety, and have a good trip!"

An Ran smiled, then looked around again, the expression on his face suddenly became serious, and he shouted loudly:

"Everyone, disband! Get ready to set sail! ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman in the crowd stepped forward and shouted:

"I wish the commander a smooth journey!"

This woman's previous position has always been very close to An Ran, with long hair and a shawl, sharp eyes, and a strong momentum, with a heroic posture completely different from An Ran, and she looks very capable.

From her position and current actions, it can be seen that this woman's status in the Northern Underworld Fleet must not be low, and she should be the same high-level leader as Chen Yu, Wang Qi and others.

"I wish the commander a smooth journey!"

"I wish the commander a smooth journey!"

……

At that moment, with the chanting of the long-haired woman, it sounded.

Starting with another man next to her who seemed to be at the top of the fleet, the sound of farewell spread one after another, and finally spread to all sides, and the members of the Northern Underworld Fleet gathered around shouted in unison:

"I wish the commander a smooth journey!"

In the lively atmosphere, An Ran held the potted pomegranate flower sent by Meng Lei, and after waving his hand, his eyes stayed on Meng Lei and Chen Yu for a moment.

Then, the only female commander in the channel, under the gaze of one after another, strode into the airlock room behind the docking cabin.

"Huh!"

The hatch closed, and a slight engine roar gently echoed through the heavy metal bulkheads.

The first exploration ship of the Northern Underworld Fleet has set sail in high profile.

Through the circular portholes on the wall of the dock passage, Meng Lei probably saw that the appearance and scale of this submarine were similar to the Falcon-class submarine he had newly acquired, or even seemed to be the same.

It can be seen that the North Underworld Fleet did not purchase the lowest-level G-class exploration boats, but chose the conventional F-class submarines like the Chongming Fleet.

Submarines of this level now seem to have become the standard car of the maiden voyage among the forces of Blue Star players.

It can't be said that this is completely the atmosphere brought up by Meng Lei, but at least it has something to do with him.

In the final analysis, they are also the best of the Blue Star player forces in this channel, and no one wants to be inferior in face.

Wouldn't it be a joke to drive a G-class exploration boat, which is not much bigger than the initial wilderness boat, and set off to open up the wasteland in the deep zone?

Of course, the low safety factor and insufficient firepower configuration of the G-class exploration craft are also key factors.

For a large fleet, no one will choose that kind of bargain.

"Alright, let's go."

When An Ran drove the submarine away from the dock and gradually moved away, Chen Yu patted Meng Lei on the shoulder.

At this time, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed, and the farewell ceremony came to an end.

The long-haired woman who had been standing beside An Ran just now stepped forward at this moment, with no expression on her face, but said quite politely:

"Commander Meng, Captain Chen, thank you for coming to see off our fleet on its maiden voyage, now that the ceremony is over, there will be no more precious time wasted by the two of you!"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Director Luo, then we will leave!" ”

Meng Lei also responded with a smile.

The long-haired woman nodded slightly: "Go slowly." ”

With that, he turned around and walked deeper into the passage.

Meng Lei looked at Chen Yu suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Captain Chen, who is this woman?" It looks like it's dragging it, it can't be the deputy commander of the Northern Underworld Fleet, Rhona, right? ”

The name Lorna, Meng Lei still heard it from Roger.

For the information of the major fleets, Roger once gave Meng Lei detailed information, and even the information held by the heavy fleet itself was complete.

Chen Yu nodded slightly and affirmed:

"That's right, she is the deputy commander of the Northern Underworld Fleet, Luo Na, An Ran's right-hand man, and she is also above 10,000 people under one person in the Northern Underworld Fleet, her style of action is quite similar to Enron, and her ability to do things is also remarkable."

Regarding Chen Yu's high evaluation, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't care too much.

It's just that the appearance of this woman is firmly engraved in my mind, so as not to meet by chance one day, and it will be a little embarrassing if I can't recognize it.

As the crowd dispersed, the passage of Dock 81 immediately became deserted.

Meng Lei and Chen Yu did not stay long, and walked side by side to the No. 59 dock, where their fleet was located.

On the way, Chen Yu inquired in detail about Meng Lei's interview with a private arms dealer this afternoon.

Meng Lei sorted out his thoughts, extracted some key points of the conversation, and made a brief description for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's expression didn't change much after hearing this, but he sighed inexplicably at some of the technologies mastered by Utu-Sierku.

"It seems that the Tia people are not too far ahead of Bluestar in terms of the overall level of science and technology, including phased array ultrasonic arrays, Bluestar technology has also developed to this point, but the other party has gone further on this road and is more perfect than our research, in fact, there is no qualitative breakthrough!"

After a pause, Chen Yu added:

"However, the nano-scale decomposition technology and 3D printing reconstruction technology here are ahead of us, and the scientific and technological level of Blue Star is not up to the nano-level controllable decomposition, if we can thoroughly understand this technology, then we will not have to rely on major private arms dealers in the future, and we can completely engage in scientific research and development by ourselves!"

Hearing this, Meng Lei asked thoughtfully:

"Brother Chen, how long will it take for our researchers to fully understand the core of these technologies?"

Chen Yu shook his head and sighed:

"This is not accurate, there are very few physics specialists we have absorbed now, and they are not among the top ranks of Blue Star, if you want to study and explore on your own, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough without decades.

Unless more high-tech talents can be found, or the core secrets of these technologies can be stolen, it is possible to overtake in corners and break the technological blockade.

However, neither of these requirements is realistic, and we can only take it one step at a time. ”

Meng Lei nodded slightly, also a little helpless.

Blue Star players are so scattered after crossing over, and it is difficult to find people with targeted scientific research talents.

And stealing the core technology of a private arms company, not to mention, is almost impossible.

Meng Lei had thought about this when he was chatting with Yarman just now.

Seeing that his face was deep and slightly embarrassed, Chen Yu smiled and patted Meng Lei's shoulder, and said with relief:

"Don't think about it so much, we are new to the city, and it is unrealistic to want to eat a fat man in one bite, and it is the best result at present to be able to develop steadily and steadily, step by step!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly, and Chen Yu continued:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, compared to the vast majority of Blue Star players, we are now a big step ahead of the starting line!

The Northern Fleet is a good example, although everyone is trying to develop, but when our fleet has five modified submarines, they have only just started their maiden voyage, and in terms of exploration time, they are a week later than us, and the scale cannot be compared.

Even the Winter Fleet, which has more members under its command, is the same, and it may not even be better developed than the Northern Underworld Fleet!

And once we sell the eggs in stock, with more funds, then with Roger's help, the speed of development will undoubtedly be far ahead again! ”

After a pause, Chen Yu exerted force in his hand, pinched Meng Lei's shoulder, and said earnestly like an elder:

"Your task now is only one, to maintain the relationship between Roger and Yarman, as an important network resource for us, and to maintain the existing advantages.

Rest, including the overall development of the fleet and future planning routes, will be left to me.

You don't have to worry about the mess at home.

Maybe, one day when you lead your team to open up an alien ruin, our technological level will directly improve by leaps and bounds, and we will no longer have to be controlled by others! ”

Chen Yu's painstaking teachings, Meng Lei listened to them in his ears and remembered them in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.

He took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and smiled at Chen Yu:

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I know what to do!"

While talking, the two returned to dock 59 and came to the Guixu.

At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.

The Sea Locust was driven to the shipyard to install a machine gun battery, and dinner could only be settled on the Guixu for the time being.

Eating fragrant grilled fish and drinking sweet water.

Thinking farther away, Meng Lei seemed to have returned to the time when he opened up the wasteland, and his mind was full of thoughts and memories for a long time.

In the end, it was only after Chen Yu reminded Meng Lei to come back to his senses and remember that there was a "date" between him and Roger at night.

So he hurriedly tidied up his appearance and hurried towards Roger's house.
