The replenishment troops went to the asteroid belt aboard the cruiser Fleeting Life Brilliant Burn.

It was a torch cruiser that had just completed an overhaul and was immediately assigned to Ceres to reinforce the fleet there.

Along with the cruiser to Ceres, there were also two fast cargo ships.

All of these ships are equipped with terawatt-class reactors and matching deuterium-helium engines, which can go straight to the flare string – a straight line if viewed on a flat solar system chart.

When the supplementary team gathered on the dock deck to prepare to board the ship, Wang Ping'an looked a little uneasy.

Angli couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Shhhh Wang Ping'an said.

Angli muttered: You're starting to care about discipline!

At this time, the main hatch of the spacecraft opened, and Diao Youming ordered: "Board the ship." ”

Zhai Mountaineering: "The first row, all of them, step in unison~ go!" ”

The first row began to move forward in unison, while the second row, where Wang Ping'an was, stood still.

Finally, after their turn to platoon, Wang Ping'an couldn't help but say: "This is a torch cruiser, the last time I was on a ship of this level, it was an experience flight of the Space Flight Academy." ”

Diao Youming: "Wang Ping'an, after getting on the ship and disbanding, there is time for you to express your views and recall the past." ”

Wang Ping'an closed his mouth, but his expression was equivalent to a 10,000-word speech.

As the procession entered the cruiser, the ship's radio system could be heard playing music, probably because it was just before the horn was blown, and most of the units would play some propaganda songs.

At this time, it was broadcast that "The Frontier of Farsightedness Must Be Built":

Hold Venus high

Blow the battle horn

Take back the psychological high ~ peak ~ Catch the cow ghost snake god out!

Vow to carry out the construction of the four modernizations to the end

Swear to kick the demon out of the way

Idealism shines everywhere

The frontier of farsightedness must be built~

Wang Ping'an hummed along with the melody as he walked, and just went all the way to the public room supporting the dormitory.

Diao Youming stood at the place where he had just entered the activity room and said to all the members of the 203rd Supplementary Brigade: "This is the first time that many people have taken the torch cruiser since graduating from school, and it is understandable that they are a little excited.

"I won't talk too much nonsense, just to remind you, the cruise acceleration of the torch cruiser is as high as 80 milligabytes, which is more than six times the cruise acceleration of the old ship you used to drive, be careful, don't make jokes.

"Okay, before you get on the boat, you should get the number of the dormitory divided by platoon, go back to the dormitory by yourself, put your things away, and then you can move freely. Disband. ”

The room was immediately noisy.

Angli patted Wang Ping'an's shoulder: "Okay, now let's express my thoughts." ”

"I don't have any feelings," Wang Ping'an shrugged, "Well, actually, there is, you know that the first place in the graduating class of the Space Flight Academy is likely to be directly assigned to the torch cruiser, right?" ”

"I don't know." Angli replied dryly.

"Well, let me start here to explain that the first place in the graduation competition every year, in addition to getting the rank of lieutenant, may also be directly picked up by the combat troops. It's a shortcut to the Torch Fleet, so everyone is pulling out all the stops.

"That's why the graduation competition is particularly golden. After I won the first place that year, I thought that I could enter the torch fleet, and Xiao Fang was also so envious that his teeth were sore, and he pointed at me and shouted: "Wait for me when you get there, I must beat you." ”

"As a result, I was assigned to the cargo fleet, and it was recommended by the principal himself, and I also complained to the principal for this, in person. During my seven years in the cargo fleet, I was getting farther and farther away from the Torch Fleet, and although I still occasionally dreamed of myself on the Torch Cruiser, I ......

"I even fantasized that Mars rebelled, that there was a battle in orbit. Then I joined the battle in a cargo ship, rammed and sank a dreadnought, and miraculously survived. Eventually I got Venus and a promotion and began commanding a torch cruiser.

"Now, I'm on the torch cruiser, and I'm finally here." Wang Ping'an ended his tirade.

Angli: "Congratulations. ”

Wang Ping'an: "At this time, you should say, "Don't thank you for me." ”

"I'm not you!"

"But you're my antidote!"

"Get out!"

Wang Ping'an grinned and changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go visit the cruiser." Let's go to the bridge first, and prepare for the future when I command the cruiser myself. ”

Angli: "Be humble, don't say anything overconfident. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Ping'an walked towards the door of the public room while perfunctory.

Angli sighed and followed.

The two quickly went to the dormitory to put down their luggage, changed into the magnetic boots used on the ship, and then went straight to the bridge, and when they arrived at the bridge, they found that Zhai Dengshan and his partner were already inside.

Wang Ping'an: "Yo, you are also here to familiarize yourself with the future command post?" ”

Zhai Dengshan laughed, causing several crew members who were preparing to leave the port on the bridge to look back at them curiously.

"It's you, dare to say anything." He said, "I'm not as arrogant as you, I'm just here to confirm what I'm striving for." ”

"Aren't you still commanding the cruiser!" Wang Ping'an teased.

Zhai Dengshan was just about to respond, when a majestic voice sounded: "Who is going to command my warship?" ”

Wang Ping'an and the others followed the prestige together, and saw a school officer walking into the bridge, and the magnetic boots made a clicking sound on the bridge.

On the chest of the officer's training uniform, there was a cloth gold star, and on the sleeve of his shirt, there was a captain's armband.

The first mate in charge of the ship's current command shouted: "The captain has arrived!" ”

The combination of Angli and Zhai Mountaineering stood up and saluted together.

The colonel waved his hand: "Okay." To be honest, I don't really like to learn from the British and Americans, and you can use other passwords to change the command structure of the bridge. ”

After speaking, the colonel walked to Wang Ping'an and stood in front of him: "Why don't you salute me?" ”

Only then did Angli realize that Wang Ping'an was stunned just now, and she didn't salute at all, and she didn't even stand upright.

Wang Ping'an: "I'm ...... Report! I was so shocked that I wish to make up a salute! ”

After speaking, he stood upright, saluted, and looked like a model soldier.

Angli looked at Wang Ping'an's series of reactions suspiciously.

At this time, the colonel suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I know you! It's you kid! Huh? Why are you a lieutenant? When I rescued you six and a half years ago, you were a lieutenant! ”

Wang Ping'an was embarrassed: "I ......"

Zhai Dengshan spoke: "Report!" He is the trouble king of the team, and he violates a lot of discipline! So several promotions were yellow. ”

The colonel looked solemn: "So, is it because of that incident?" What is the psychology department doing, they should guide you just right before letting you back and continue flying, right? ”

"Well, I don't actually blame them, I don't have post-traumatic stress syndrome, I have violated discipline too much because...... Because I'm not very good by nature. ”

The colonel frowned: "Really? Is there no impact at all? Well, I trust the judgment of the psychology department. However, since you have won the silver star, shouldn't you not be promoted? ”

Wang Ping'an: "I just took the silver star—I mean, I just took it before the Earth Fire voyage." Didn't you just take the Silver Star and be transferred to Ceres? ”

The colonel let out an "oh" and stretched out his hand to pat Wang Ping'an's shoulder: "Okay, good!" Actually, I've always wanted to talk to you, but after that time, I got Venus, and it was promoted as a focus, and the rest of the itinerary was full, full of presentations, countless presentations. I did a presentation on the ground for three years before I was released back into space.

"I originally wanted to look for you while you were on vacation, but because of that incident, you first received a period of psychological cultivation, and then the entire vacation was postponed."

Angeli muttered, "That's why he's only in his seventh year and he's taken his second vacation......"

The colonel nodded, "Yes." As a result, we staggered, he was on his way back to Earth when I went to heaven, and then I set off, and he landed on vacation. So this wish has not been fulfilled.

"I finally ran into you today, or on such an occasion! I'm going to tell you something very important! The reason why I wanted to save you from the spacewalk back then was because your courage infected me!

"I said this in all my reports, but I cut this paragraph during the broadcast, probably because the talent of the propaganda agency thinks that the hero's courage comes from a problem that violates the rules and does not receive any awards, which will detract from the value of the hero!

"They know a! You're just unlucky, driving the rudimentary flying machine you've saved up, trying to get through the swarms. I was trapped in the ship's optical equipment room, next to the airlock, and then with the full set of sanitary.

"So I was able to see both of you in action through the remaining optics. You know, your rudimentary flying machine has shocked me for years. Many, many years!

"Your behavior is actually no different from when I went out for a spacewalk in a spacesuit, they were all reckless and unplanned. The difference is that I'm lucky, and you're almost lucky.

"Of course, the talents in the propaganda department will say that you failed because of lack of training, but I am because you are always ready, and fate will favor those who are prepared.

", they don't understand at all.

"Of course, there are people who rely on their wisdom to obtain the Order of the Golden Star in a foolproof situation, and I can't compare to that kind of person. I just did the same stupid thing as you, and the result was that I got Venus, you ...... The martyred Comrade Fang Manmei has not yet received the title of martyr, and it is useless for me to write many letters.

"That's bullshit. All their practices remind me of what happened to Jin Kailai in the old movie, shit!

"Listen, child, you are heroes, this medal should be given to you, in fact, the body of the medal, I have already given it to Comrade Fang Manmei's mother. Have you ever met her mother? ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head: "No." Her mother and father are divorced, and her daughter is her only heart, so she has always been reluctant to see me, I have only met her father and grandparents, and I have talked in detail about the process of her sacrifice. ”

"That's right." The Colonel nodded, "No wonder I went to my father's side, they had a slightly different attitude. Don't talk about that, no matter what your resume was in the past, I believe in your courage when you went to the front line, a place where you must see the real thing. ”

The colonel glanced at Angeli: "Don't you introduce me?" This is your new partner, right? How many years have you been partnering? ”

"Half a year." Wang Ping'an replied.

"Huh? Oh, I remember, it seems like to say you've been flying alone. Let's introduce it. ”

Wang Ping'an nodded, and then introduced the colonel to Angri first: "This is Colonel Peng Chuke, my savior." Through a brave spacewalk, he walked through the debris and found me who had been thrown into space.

"Colonel, this is my new partner, Second Lieutenant Angree de Lyon."

"Hello." Angre saluted again.

Penchuk returned the salute: "Is it so brief? Just a partner? ”

Wang Ping'an: "It's still my comrade-in-arms." ”

"In this way, everyone will be comrades fighting in Ceres."

At this time, the communication from the tower came: "Short Life Brilliant Burn, here is the tower, report your situation." ”

Peng Chuke ordered: "You go and put on spacesuits, there is no air in the ship according to the standard departure procedure." ”

Then he stepped forward and said to the tower: "Tower, tower, this is the Brilliant, we are preparing for departure, and it is expected to be completed in 20 minutes." ”

"The tower understands, it's over."

After speaking, Peng Chuke turned around and waved his hand to Wang Ping'an, who was standing in place.

Wang Ping'an saluted solemnly, turned around and followed his companions who had arrived at the gate of the bridge.
