Chapter 58: Remembrance of the War Dead

……

A few days later.

In a factory in Nuevo Cato, Grote sat on the ground and watched the logistics machinery being delivered.

It was crushed while the metal was mined, while another logistic machine was repairing it.

Grote, who is a maintenance engineer, just watched until the damaged logistics machinery was repaired and flew out of the factory.

At this moment, Grote thinks that the work of this so-called logistics mechanic is actually nothing to do, and it may just be an excuse, an excuse to give food to others.

The vast majority of maintenance technicians in the factory are watching from the sidelines.

"Personnel No. 488181, Personnel Category: Worker." The logistics machine in charge of the maintenance just now floated next to Grote, and the black spherical body was facing another worker, "You have been working for a month, you can go to the church to relieve mental stress." ”

The workers immediately got up and left.

Then the logistic machine floated up to Grote's side and told him in the same cold voice: "Praetorian guard No. 4, it has been detected that you have not been relieved from the last war, and from the results of the last psychological examination, it can be concluded that you have suffered many mental blows recently, and you are allowed to go to the church to relieve your mental stress." ”

"I'm no longer a janissary, isn't it time for your database to be updated?" Grote slapped the sleek shell of the logistics machine and walked out of the factory.

It's working time, but relieving mental stress doesn't conflict with working hours.

Grote walked to the church along with the men who had come out of the other factories, all of whom had been allowed to relieve mental stress, and who were engaged in everything.

The red-and-blue glowing Sentinel drone flew in front of Grote and the others, and the sound of safety unlocking came from the heavy explosive weapon on board, and a ray of light shot out to scan the people present.

"Thank you for being checked." After the scan was correct, the sentry drone thanked him in a cold voice and flew to the next area.

Grote and the others continued to walk until they reached the church in the city center.

The church is a huge building that extends to a hundred floors underground, and the part of the auditorium on the ground floor does have the function of praying to the emperor, but it does not really do this.

Grote took the elevator to the underground part and saw a straight steel corridor and countless rooms on either side of the corridor, and he randomly found an empty one to walk into.

When someone is detected, the door closes and locks automatically, and the otherwise dark metal room is lit up, revealing a beautiful environment with two bottles of wine popping out on the floor.

A sandy beach with the ocean in the distance and a blue sky overhead.

In this beautiful environment, a holographic interface pops up: Do you want to continue "Loyal vs. Rebel Alien"?

"Go ahead." Grot nodded.

Then a rifle appeared in his hand, and he participated in the previous counteroffensive against the rebels from the perspective of an ordinary soldier.

After re-fighting the war from a normal perspective, Gray walks out of the room and takes the elevator back to the surface.

The moment the elevator door opened, Grote saw a familiar figure.

Gray.

As Gray, dressed in Praetorian Power Armor, waited against the wall, everyone passing by saluted him.

"What's the matter, Captain Gray of the Guard is also here to play the Great War Alien Rebels?" Grouter smiled and stepped forward and hugged Gray.

"I don't like that game, I prefer to watch a movie called Super Gray Blast Rebel Chords." Gray made a joke, then suddenly became serious, "Maya has been found. ”

Grote was stunned, then tremors, then ecstasy, tears and snot streaming down his nose.

Gray patted his brother on the shoulder, and continued, "Her residence is assigned next door to you, and you can see her when you get back from work, and then you have to teach her some rules of life in the new Katola." ”

"For example, you can't do any recreational activities without permission, and you shouldn't resist scanning when facing a sentry drone......"

"The Legion Commander has specially made a gene comparison device to help you find Maya."

"Fortunately, it was your sister who was compared and searched by your genes, not a so-called woman covered in muscles."

"Also, your brother ......"

When it came to Grote's brother, Gray hesitated.

"He's dead, isn't he?" Grlot asked.

"Hmm. Well? Yes, but ......" Gray wanted to tell Grote about the statement that he had discussed with Qin Mo that day, but Gray didn't give him a chance to say it.

Grote's expression was very calm: "My brother never yells at me, he is really good at using violence but does not rely on violence, he is simply a model ...... It was very wrong at that time, it was like he had been robbed of his body, you know how I felt at the time? When I looked into his eyes, it was like a glass, and he was banging on the glass inside to call me for help......"

"......" Gray was silent. Although everyone else thought that Grote was a violent maniac when dealing with people other than his own, he always understood that the good brother was actually a wise man.

"Contact me if you're in trouble." Gray tapped Grote on the shoulder, "I've got to go on with recruitment, I'll come to you for a drink or two tomorrow night." ”

"Okay." Grodt nodded in agreement.

……

A moment later.

The other side.

"He's quite perceptive." Qin Mo and Gray were communicating, their expressions very surprised.

"Of course. So...... Well...... Can Grote put back on the Praetorian Power Armor? ”

Gray wanted to intercede for Grote, and he waited nervously for Qin Mo's reply, but then he heard a knock on the door from the communicator.

"Let's talk about it." Qin Mo hung up the communication and turned his head to look at the door, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Duncan, the commander of the 78th Regiment, stepped in, saluted, and asked, "You are looking for me." ”

"Yes." Qin Mo nodded, recalled for a while, and said, "I heard that you have your friend's ashes in your hand?" ”

Duncan immediately thought of Albert's ashes.

My friend's last wish is to be able to see the sky after death, but even if I go to the nest, this last wish cannot be fulfilled, because it costs 30,000 Throne Coins to drop the ashes on the surface of the planet.

Unless one day the group can garrison the upper nest, then Albert's ashes can be sent directly out of the windows of the building, fulfilling his last wish.

"Did you know that almost all soldiers who die in battle have only two wishes before they die?" Qin Mo got up and walked to the table and sat down, then picked up the report he had obtained from a census of the main control intelligence organization, and read out the contents on it: "One is to entrust his family to his comrades-in-arms, and the other is to want to see the sky after death. ”

"Yes, Legionnaire." Duncan nodded.

Qin Mo also nodded, and then suddenly asked an irrelevant matter: "Do you know that we are building an orbital dock?" ”

"Yes, Legion Commander." Duncan said with some confusion.

"There is a place in the orbital dockyard, which is in the sandwich between the shell and the internal structure of the dock, which is too large to fit in the equipment, but can be used to store some small things, such as the ashes of the war dead."

When Qin Mo said this, Duncan was already so excited that he was about to lose his temper, and he could already predict what the legion leader would say next.

That is, the ashes can be put into the orbital dock along with the ashes of other war dead, and then they will be transported to low-earth orbit at that time.

"In the last war, when we launched a counteroffensive, the soldiers died less than 5 percent of the time, but in the previous defensive battles the death rate was 70 percent, and these dead deserve to be remembered."

"Now they can not only see the sky, but they can also look down on us from orbit."

Qin Mo said.

"Yes...... Yes, Corps Commander. Duncan nodded vigorously.

"When you leave, put the ashes in the hands of any logistic machine you can find, and they'll send the ashes to the dockyard." Qin Mo reminded.

"Yes. Thank you, Commander. Duncan saluted and thanked him, then turned to leave.

Seeing Duncan leave, Qin Mo thought for a moment.

Putting the ashes of the dead of the last war in the mezzanine of the orbital dock is of course a memorial to them, but it also has another purpose.

The psychic abilities in this universe are outrageous, and when something is worshipped or commemorated by many, it even gives birth to miraculous abilities.

Perhaps these ashes in the dockyard can be used as a shield against psionic attacks.
