After everyone left, Wang Ping'an and Angli were left looking at each other.

Wang Ping'an blinked, raised his big hand, and rubbed his cheeks.

Angli: "Don't make me laugh, talk about things!" ”

Wang Ping'an: "I have to work hard, what if I get confused?" ”

Angli clasped her hands on her chest, pursed her lips and glared at Wang Ping'an, her glasses reflecting the light of the construction machinery deck.

Wang Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Okay, in fact, I had a partner before, and she died." Finished. ”

"That's too sketchy!"

"Oh, I know it's probably okay, I'll tell you your partner's name, her name is Fang Manmei, okay? If you have this name, you can check the file, it's all public. ”

After speaking, Wang Ping'an was about to slip away, but Angli grabbed his shoulder. The girl stepped on the shelf next to her and used the kinetic energy she gained to slam Wang Ping'an to the ceiling: "Don't you want to fool around." ”

Wang Ping'an looked at the girl's clenched fist, because the girl was still wearing a spacesuit, this fist was extraordinarily big - after all, the gloves of the spacesuit were very thick, with an anti-radiation layer and an insulation layer.

Wang Ping'an: "Okay, I'll surrender, and I'll tell you the name of her soul again!" ”

"The name of the soul?" It was Angri's turn to be confused, "What the hell?" ”

"It's the name of the inner superego, that's how she explained it, listen, her soul's name is Stephen Kay! Deafening, right? ”

Angli maintained the posture of one-handed wall knock king peace: "You're fooling me, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the engineer who had been looking at them shouted: "Hey, it's time to take off the spacesuit, we are waiting to recycle the spacesuit for maintenance!" ”

Angli sighed: "I'll go back and continue to settle accounts with you." Meet at the officers' club later, don't try to run! ”

**

After taking off her spacesuit and showering, Angri changed into a military uniform cleaned by an automatic dry cleaning machine.

In the dressing mirror, she has changed from the embarrassed heavy manual worker just now to a beautiful second lieutenant officer.

Because of the long-term braid, the hair that is very wavy is draped behind the shoulders, and the computer-controlled robot is tying the braids into braids.

Angeli put on her glasses and waited for the robot to finish weaving the braid, and then handed the blue bow to the robot.

The rules of the Space Force are very strange, flat mirrors and the like are considered decorations and are not allowed to be worn, but the bow on the braid does not matter as long as it does not exceed the specified size.

Male soldiers in the Space Force, both soldiers and officers, must have short hair, and they must be uniformly pushed into a board inch before carrying out combat missions, which is said to facilitate rescue.

However, female soldiers of the Space Force can have long hair, but they are not allowed to exceed the specified length, nor are they allowed to distribute it, and they must wear braids.

Dirty braids are also not allowed.

Angri feels that the military regulations of the Space Force still take care of women to some extent, unlike the armed mercenaries under the control of Western capital, who equate women with men and take baths in public baths.

However, the Space Force does not allow the use of perfumes, as volatile mixtures may affect the ship's equipment, according to the ordinance.

Angri has always liked to spray citrus perfumes, because her name evolved from the French citrus, which is a relatively rare name.

So Angeli habitually grabbed the perfume bottle again, and then remembered that this special storage center had been stored as a personal belongings at the launch site.

At the end of her three-year service, she will be able to retrieve the deposits.

Or if she has an accident in space and dies without a body – space accidents usually kill a dead body – and the deposit is sent to Angri's parents along with the blue death notice.

Angeli closed the door of the locker, grabbed her laptop, opened the door and left the bathroom.

He glanced at the men's locker room and didn't see Wang Ping'an come out.

Men change clothes faster, Wang Ping'an should go to the officers' club and wait first-Angli thought to herself, nudging the wall and floating along the passage.

Several technical non-commissioned officers she met on the road saluted her with tense faces, and the gendarmes standing guard at the corner shouted to her: "Wait a minute, no flat glasses!" ”

Angri sighed, grabbed the handle on the wall and stopped, explaining to the gendarmes that she was a natural person and short-sighted Balabala.

After tossing for a long time, she finally came to the officers' club.

A group of freshly faced officers gathered at the club's space pinball table and were discussing something passionately.

Angli didn't care about this, and concentrated on finding Wang Ping'an.

Then she heard the group of officers discussing, "How did this maneuver work?" ”

"Unbelievable, I heard that the guy took off the gloves and helmet of the spacesuit in order to complete these operations, saying that it would affect his judgment and reaction."

Angeli looked over in surprise, and sure enough, she saw a holographic player surrounded by a group of officers, and the player projected a piece of wreckage, and then a point of light shuttled through the wreckage.

Angli couldn't help but speak: "What's that?" ”

The officers looked at it together.

"Hey, Silverhair, this is that guy's partner, right?"

"And glasses, I guess so. Dry, it's more beautiful than the legend, I'm so envious! ”

Angli: "That guy? ”

One of the captains replied, "Ah, we are discussing Lieutenant Wang Ping'an's rescue operation, which was restored by the engineering department based on the data recovered from the wreckage of the machine computer, and now everyone is discussing this thing." ”

Angli: "Oh...... Can I take a look? ”

"Please!" A few astronauts brushed out of the way and stood straight next to the space pinball table, as if waiting for a review.

Angeli floated over, grabbed the edge of the pinball table and stopped, picking up the projector.

Because the ship was not accelerating now, the floating thing would not slowly fall back to the ground, and Angri would just float in the air and start watching.

The point of light representing the No. 1 iron barrel, like a fairy, walks through the dense fragments.

Angeli always felt that she was not watching a reproduction of the flight trajectory, but a fairy dance on the phone.

At this time, the captain who had just spoken said, "Like the dance of the elves, I feel as if I am in a fantasy world." ”

Angli shook her head: "If you were on that body, you wouldn't feel like this, I vomited so much that I almost collapsed, and I don't know how he kept not throwing up." ”

"Maybe that's the power of will." The captain replied.

Angli suddenly remembered what she was doing here, and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Lieutenant Wang?" ”

Several astronauts shook their heads like rattles.

Angli bit her lip angrily: "I knew that he ran away!" ”

"Don't say that." Wang Ping'an stepped on his own voice and floated in, "You have to worry about the speed of my injured person taking a shower, my hands are completely unable to do fine movements, I should have asked you, as a partner, to help me wash it just now!" ”

The astronauts on the edge of the space pool table coaxed together: "Oh, oh, oh! ”

This is the club, and the most serious person will also turn into an age-appropriate hairy boy.

Angli: "We have important things to talk about, can you give us some personal time?" ”

Captain: "Of course, we can still guard the door outside, brothers." ”

The astronauts all went out, leaving only Angli and Wang Ping'an in the club.

Wang Ping'an: "Computer, put some songs suitable for talking about things." ”

The next moment, the megaphone began to play the sound of the faucet turning on to the loudest possible sound: bang-la-la......

It is said that people on the ground in the pre-space era would turn on their faucets to make noise in order to prevent their conversations from being overheard.

Wang Ping'an scolded and shouted: "Computer, turn off the humor module." Re-understand my commands. ”

The next moment, a soothing piano sound came over the loudspeaker.

Angli: "Moonlight Sonata, yes, let's talk about it." ”

"Where did I go?" Wang Ping'an asked.

Angeli: "Speaking of the soul name, Strafin Kay. ”

"Oh yes, that's it, she came up with it one afternoon, and then excitedly ran over to me and asked me if it was cool......"

Angri floated beside the pinball table, listening quietly.

Wang Ping'an stopped by himself: "You don't want to listen to the point?" ”

"I've studied psychology and I know the importance of listening."

Wang Ping'an was speechless: "I hate psychologists, every time I face them, I feel as if they are looking into my heart." ”

That's because the psychologist's treatment room is deliberately arranged to feel this way, which is a combination of various elements to give you the illusion. They will start by researching your past experiences, what you like.

"If you like the occult, there will be some occult stuff in the room, like a smoking incense burner or something, which actually releases biological hormones that have a calming effect."

Angri said.

Wang Ping'an was stunned and said, "Is that so? How cunning! ”

"Now there are computers to help with analysis, robots to help quickly switch sets, or simply use holographic projection to create landscapes, very quickly."

Wang Ping'an shrugged.

"Okay, I'm surrendering, in fact, there's nothing bad to say if you think about it, it's just that the people around me think it's my heart disease, and then carefully go around the minefield without touching the mine. Not necessarily.

"Fang Manmei is a classmate of my Space Flight Academy, and she is a very mentally strong little man, just the opposite of you."

Angli: "What's the opposite?" Nature? ”

"Everything. You're tall, you're in shape, she's a pee and she doesn't have much meat. You can stuff three of her in your chest! ”

Angli subconsciously raised her hand.

"She has a special trick of sliding her hands forward in a weightless space with air, like this."

Wang Ping'an rotated his hands in the opposite direction and cast a big windmill. This movement made his body spin.

"It's weird that she's able to move forward without spinning."

Angli's mouth opened slightly: "I've seen the clown in the space acrobatic troupe move like this......"

"Really? That's a good fit for her. Our acrobatic troupe does not have such funny harlequins, thinking that this is belittling their personality. Fang Manmei and I are close friends at school, and as long as we have private time, we always play together.

"After graduating, I partnered with her and flew to Mars once, 28 weeks to go and 31 weeks to return. Then on the way back, we came across a shipwreck.

"The Space Authority doesn't think there are any more living people, but as a general rule, let's drop by and make sure. We still had 500 tonnes of extra water at the time, and the deceleration was almost complete, with enough deltas to see how it was. ”

Delta is a slang term for incremental speed, common in space, and can be roughly understood as "range" for those unfamiliar with astronautics.

"We went. It turned out that there were still people alive on the shipwrecked ship, and we don't know how they used to survive in the wreckage for five weeks until we arrived.

"We immediately prepared to rescue, but the accident ship had already disintegrated due to the solar wind and meteorites, and there was a lot of debris. But by and large, it was not as dangerous as this one, because the ship was a natural disintegration, not an explosion.

"At that time, we didn't have a mobile cabin for outside work, after all, we were just a cargo ship, and we only had small maintenance machinery, the kind that could only crawl on the surface of the hull.

"But Xiao Fang and I are very confident, we are not afraid of heaven and earth, we used that maintenance machinery to rub a simple rescue boat."

Angli: "Xiaofang? ”

"Oh, that's her nickname." Wang Ping'an suddenly sang, "There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village, who is good-looking and kind. A pair of beautiful big eyes with thick and long braids~"

Angeli didn't interrupt.

After singing, Wang Ping'an touched his face embarrassedly: "Well, I often use this song to tease her, and when she sings the chorus 'Thank you for the love you gave me', she will definitely cover her ears and shout 'Disgusting death, stop singing'." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Angri's mouth, and the dimples were faint.

Wang Ping'an: "Xiao Fang and I saved a rescue boat, and rushed to the rescue with great interest." I'll take the helm, and she'll be in charge of operating the robotic arm to block small debris.

"It went well at first, but because I was wearing a spacesuit, I felt sluggish and didn't notice a piece of debris in time, and the accident happened."

"Wait a minute," Angli finally interrupted Wang Ping'an, "Is this the conclusion of the accident investigation report?" Are you sluggish in a spacesuit? ”

Wang Ping'an: "Of course not. I wrote this in my report, but it was not accepted. Not only that, but the Space Management Committee told us that there was actually a torch cruiser that was being overhauled at L2 at the time, and that the crew had just gone on vacation and had not yet returned to the surface, and that they could sail immediately.

"The actions we take are meaningless blind movements. In short, we hit the debris, and Xiao Fang shattered in an instant, and at that time, the relative speed was several times the speed of sound, and certainly nothing could be felt.

"I was also thrown out of space, but the miraculous spacesuit was completely undamaged. When I was about to run out of oxygen, the people waiting for rescue on the crashed spaceship found me through a brave spacewalk and dragged me back to their little shelter inside the ship.

"At this time, the computer of the spacecraft we drove could not detect any moving objects on the spacecraft for a long time, so it judged the accident and sent a report to the management committee. And then the torch cruiser I just said came.

"The two people on the shipwrecked ship were awarded the Order of the Gold Star for their tenacious survival actions and their bold rescue of me."

Angeli muttered, "Medal of Praise for Humanity......"

The Order of Venus is just a common name, and the full name is the Order of Praise for Humanity.

Wang Ping'an was silent for a long time before he said faintly: "Xiao Fang has always wanted Venus because of his handsome name. Medal of Praise for Humanity, she always likes to shout, the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage!

"She's not an official fan, she doesn't care about the potential value of the Venus Medal at all, she just likes the name. When we were stockpiling the rescue boat, she said, 'There must be a gold star medal now.'"

But in the end, she didn't even have the treatment of a two-level promotion that would normally be done for a heroic death, because she was judged to have caused her death by recklessness and negligence.

"I've been defending this for a long time, and I still write to the Pension Board every month. I said that her intentions were good and that she deserved to be rewarded. But all the letters were rejected. ”

Wang Ping'an sighed: "I was obviously at fault, but I survived and she died." Sometimes when I watch those ancient Gundam anime, I think it's good to have a telepathy, so maybe I can meet Xiao Fang, and I'm going to ask her, forgive me for not. ”

Angli suddenly noticed that tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Wang Ping'an took out a handkerchief and threw it to her: "Why are you crying, you see that I haven't cried!" ”

Angli: "You...... I think you should cry. ”

"Ah, yes? Lend me your pecs, and I think it might be nice to cry on them. Wang Ping'an changed the tone just now.

"I can't understand that you were very sad when you stated it......"

"You're a girl, of course you can't understand it. My dad fought in that war, that one. Many of his good friends died in the war, and every year on the Qingming Festival, my father would bring a dozen or two pots to smoke in the forest next to the martyrs' cemetery, and while smoking, he would open a bottle of wine and slowly sprinkle it in the soil of the pine forest.

"My dad never cried, he just smoked cigarettes and poured bottles of wine.

"My biological mother died when I was four years old, so when he came out of the martyrs' cemetery, he would go straight to the ordinary cemetery, take out my mother's urn, wipe it carefully, and then put it under the pine tree in the cemetery to bask in the sun, and squat in front of the urn and smoke.

"My dad is a smoker, and he smokes very well on the day of Qingming Festival, and he can smoke two packs of Daqianmen.

"But I've never seen him cry, his tear ducts seem to have died, although I have been adjusted, but the bottom plate before adjustment is still my father's genes, I may have had necrotic tear glands."

Wang Ping'an said calmly, like an iron man without blood and tears, and his expression did not change.

As a result, Angeli cried even harder.

Then Wang Ping'an, who had no heart and lungs, was still complaining: "My grass, pear blossoms bring rain, are you planning to cry with my share, then I thank you so much!" ”

Angri grabbed the long stick on the pinball table that was used to play with the jammed pinball and threw it at him like a gun, only to be dodged by his head.

Wang Ping'an: "Be careful, this is all public property, and if it is damaged, it will be punished." ”

Angli gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I can't pay for it!" ”

Then she began to wipe her tears, wiped them clean and took a deep breath, finally calmed her breath, and then asked, "So, you became like this, just because of your girlfriend's death?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "What are you talking about, I'm not happy to say this, this is tarnishing our friendship." This kind of situation is very common in the Space Force, it is a tacit partner in space, and when it comes to the ground, I have a personal family, and I also helped Xiao Fang staff the blind date that her father chose for her. ”

Angli: ?

Wang Ping'an: "Surprised, I said that you are the wife of the computer, and that is coaxing my father." Remember the mother and son we met on the bus to the launch site, no, I stopped you from helping to find out her husband's partner, just in case of this.

"Space is not a romantic place, we are comrades-in-arms in the face of a cold environment together, don't tarnish this sacred relationship."
