The closer they got to the Corona, the more oppressive the dark space battleship gave people. When Lu Yuan looked at it, the Corona filled his field of vision. No matter how he looked around, it was just a hull armor made of steel and iron.

.

The densely arranged profile lights are like the ten thousand pairs of eyes of this cold outer god. Of course, comparing the Corona to the gods in ancient legends is in some ways a slight to the Corona.

Outside the portholes, countless drones shuttled past, endlessly maintaining the facilities of the Corona ship. None of these "worker bees" were smaller than the aerospace machine Lu Yuan was riding, and they were responsible for repairing external parts outside the cabin.

The total daily attendance of engineering astronauts is an extremely terrifying figure.

"Attention, we will start docking with the pilot aircraft in one minute. All personnel, please do not leave your seats." The pilot of the aerospace aircraft reminded. Lu Yuan immediately felt that the vibration under his feet disappeared, which meant that the power of the aerospace aircraft was returning to zero. But soon,

The two pilot planes, which looked like flat square boxes, approached both sides of the aerospace aircraft's nose, stretched out electromagnetic towing cables to attach to them, put down their auxiliary thrusters at the four corners of the square boxes, and quickly headed towards the Corona hangar.

After passing through the magnetic field airlock of the hangar, the aerospace machine stopped behind a group of various ships waiting to dock, but this was not a problem. At this time, it was allowed to carry the ship's docking spacecraft.

The paratroopers lined up crookedly in a long queue behind Lu Yuan. These fresh-faced men kept yawning, showing signs of fatigue. Lu Yuan rubbed his slightly red eye circles and saw that there was a man hanging from the headquarters next to him.

The senior officer who decorated Xu looked at him from the side and reluctantly said: "The dust on the surface is relatively heavy."

"We all serve the Eternal Alliance, Captain." The officer nodded. He was so tall that he could slightly overlook Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan could easily see the dark patch on his stork bone that was hidden in the shadow of the hat brim.

birthmark.

"Yes, Colonel." Lu Yuan nodded. The officer's voice sounded familiar, but Lu Yuan couldn't remember exactly where he heard it. However, he usually didn't meet such a headquarters officer with his wrists cuffed to a briefcase.

, the noble people at the headquarters are not willing to get mud on the soles of their boots.

Lu Yuan didn't want to ask any more questions. He was silent for a moment. The two machines connected. The headquarters officer pressed his military cap, and the silver twisted rope eagle emblem on it shone brightly. He said in an indifferent tone: "May your sacrifice be valuable."

, Goodbye, Captain Lu Yuan." After saying that, he boarded the headquarters' exclusive aircraft and left.

Lu Yuan was a little confused as to how this man recognized him. There was no nameplate on his clothes. Lu Yuan put aside irrelevant thoughts and led the paratroopers to the shuttle ship and headed for the station.

There were only a few people in the mobile division station of the 28th Paratrooper Group, and there were only a few marine tanks supporting the huge assembly area. The battle on the surface of Eagle Valley was related to the survival of the fleet, and there was no room for the mobile division not to invest all available combat armaments.

Now that he had arrived home, Lu Yuan found a cushioned chair and sat down, waving his hand to Yue Dong to take the paratroopers back. Seeing that everyone was gone, Lu Yuan suddenly buried his head in his knees and was speechless for a long time.

I don't know what he was thinking about, maybe he was just clearing his mind.

It wasn't until the ground crew discovered Lu Yuan and handed the sloppy paratrooper a hot towel that Lu Yuan became less depressed. He breathed in the scent of the towel, thanked the ground crew, and asked the ground crew to go to his single room to get some clean clothes.

, he didn't want the dirty smell to spread to the only nest where he could completely relax.

Putting on the straight military uniform, the high-spirited energy naturally overflowed.

, Lu Yuan was not shy, he took out the steel flask hidden in his inner pocket and drank a few sips, then gave it directly to the ground crew. The ground crew looked at Lu Yuan's back as he walked away quickly, and threw the flask away.

Not accepting it or not, he shouted helplessly: "Hey! Where are you going?!"

"Military Justice Department!" Lu Yuan shouted without looking back.

As we all know, the Corona is very big. Just for the daily transportation of more than 500,000 crew members, a magnetic levitation fast track as dense as a spider web is laid inside the ship. Although all combat troops are deployed, this does not interfere with the work of civilian and engineering personnel.

Daily work.

Lu Yuan ignored the people around him who were looking at him strangely. He grinned at the nearest female clerk, then took out a pack of cigarettes, shook them at her, took out one and lit it, the smoke mixed with it.

The smell of alcohol permeated her exquisite swan blue uniform dress.

When the picket team was looking for people at the site, the main leader Lu Yuan smoked several cigarettes calmly and calmly in the blind spot of the surveillance. This was one of the few joys before the military rank was promoted to the school level. As long as the AI ​​chip was not implanted, then Lu Yuan would

Being able to play around with the local customs and patrolling the picket team, and being brave enough, Lu Yuan, the roving military policeman, has done it before.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Lu Yuan was, he did not dare to mess around when he got near the bridge. The bridge was responsible for all the affairs of the entire battleship, and as the Corona was the flagship, the bridge area was equipped with an additional set of equipment to obey the commander of the expedition fleet.

, the command structure of Marshal Ru Fajun, even the guards are elites who have received iron control training, so defense cannot be said to be careless.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan did not have to enter the core bridge. Of course, he was not qualified to enter. He found the Military Justice Department with ease. The receptionist obviously knew this regular customer and joked that Lu Yuan had made another mistake this time. Was it gathering a crowd to play cards or violating the rules?

After drinking, when Lu Yuan told what he had committed, the receptionist couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and even said that Captain Lu was really awesome, so he could receive the punishment by himself instead of being escorted by the military police.

But Lu Yuan's idea of ​​​​suffering the consequences and finishing the matter early came to nothing. The receptionist said that military disciplinary cases of this level would not be taken lightly and needed to be dealt with by the disciplinary committee. In other words, Lu Yuan could not fool around like before this time.

It's past.

The receptionist warmly reminded him to enjoy the last few days of freedom. Lu Yuan was depressed and silent. He didn't know if the division headquarters had even said hello. Looking at Colonel Bao's furious look, it was most likely that he had said hello and punished him severely.

However, Lu Yuan was happy to eat and drink temporarily for a while. No matter how bad the confinement food was, it was still better than emergency nutrients.

Lu Yuan walked out of the Military Justice Department nonchalantly and stretched out in the sunlight. The ecosystem inside the ship was compared to the desolate planet where he often had to wear a purifier to breathe. It was pure paradise.

Before Lu Yuan could finish stretching, he saw an officer in the crowd in the distance with handcuffs and a briefcase. He identified the birthmark and thought that he was indeed a member of the headquarters. He was a good person wherever he went. When he got closer, Lu Yuan

With sharp eyes, I saw clearly the newly pinned nameplate on his chest, and read, Colonel Lu Yunzhong of the General Staff.

Lu Yunzhong? Lu Yuan instantly recalled the Colonel Lu Yunzhong who ordered him to do everything possible to paralyze the Ivan Thunder Emperor mecha. Lu Yuan was a little confused as to how a staff officer could appear in the surface Star Monument Fortress in the middle of a fierce battle.

The doubts passed quickly, and Lu Yuan was not interested in delving into it. He watched with cold eyes as Colonel Lu was sent into the core bridge surrounded by guards. Lu Yuan obeyed the order, but it did not mean that he would like to ask him and his brothers to go together.

The order to die.

Lu Yuan returned to the paratrooper station unhappily. After washing up alone, he took stock of the hawks.

How many paratroopers had been sacrificed in the Battle of Guxing Fortress? The number was so high that Lu Yuan was heartbroken and panicked. He silently wrote a death notice, writing familiar gray names one by one, and then sealed the pile of letters into a safe, which were all written by Lu Yuan.

Hundreds of desperate letters were delivered by hand. He stared at a group photo beside his desk, and saw that those young people were high-spirited and lifelike in the group photo.

In this lifeless star field, two suns rise in the west and set in the east. A few days later, no one came to review Lu Yuan. Instead, news came that the remnants of the paratroopers were merging and preparing to reorganize into a new brigade, and Lu Yuan was to be appointed.

Yuan took over as the temporary commander. He read the order and crumpled it into pieces of paper, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

The mobile division station gradually became more lively. The first thing the paratroopers did after returning from the bloody battle was to sleep all day and night. Lu Yuan often sat alone in front of the holographic projection screen in the assembly area, smoking and drinking.

Without leaving his hand, he looked at the shuttle light monument being built in space. These six curved rotors made of marble were covered with the blood of countless soldiers, but they were also the only comfort for countless soldiers.

Home.

Lu Yuan recalled the huge rotor light monument above the Eurasian planet when he set off. Every time a battleship sank into the surge point of the light monument, a line of accelerating blue light would shoot out across thousands of miles. The six stabilizing wings of the light monument

Expanding to the limit, it was possible to disembark the Corona, and the picture of the Milky Way falling into the sky was engraved in the annals of history and in the hearts of every soldier who went to a foreign country.

The eternally flowing vortex in the light monument has infinite magic power, which kept Lu Yuan staring until his eyes were dry and unwilling to move away. So he noticed that the black in a certain area behind the light monument was fading, and he scanned the bottom of the screen

The jump data transmitted in real time, he rubbed the messy beard under his chin mockingly, lowered his head and drank wine, so naturally he didn't see the swarms of warships passing by.

"With all the things in the world, the oath of my family and my country, and my exhausting loyalty, my love can be dedicated..." Lu Yuan hummed softly. This is the first song that every citizen of Zhoumeng learned when he was a child.

A few paratroopers around him sang along to the beat.

"This will have no regrets, this will not be afraid of trials..." The paratroopers who passed by all joined in the chorus. They caressed their chests and looked at the majestic eagle emblem of the Eternal Alliance hanging on the wall, paying no attention to the sun's corona.

The ship was slowly changing direction, and the escorting cruiser sprinted past, aiming behind the light monument that was extending the jump area as if facing a formidable enemy.

"We have heard about that majestic distant country for a long time. Those who admire it regard it as close relatives, and those who know it know its greatness..." They also did not know that at the same moment, someone on the bridge was singing this song softly, and then they surrendered without mercy.

.

"If you don't defend your land with a crowd of soldiers, it will be difficult to visit your king. A strong base is built with a strong heart, and sacrifice for its glory..." Many paratroopers cried uncontrollably. Just on the eve of returning home, they sacrificed so many comrades.

Once the light monument jump area is extended, the fleet will set sail and return, leaving hundreds of thousands of young people who have devoted their blood in a star field that will never come back, and no trace of them will be found again.

Before the song ended, it was already a sad note. Lu Yuan turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He could not let the paratroopers see the fragile side of the commander. The moment he turned his head, he suddenly looked intently at the corner of the holographic projection, the light monument.

Then it jumped out of the fleet out of thin air. Hull number 49? It was the first ship of the decoy fleet back then! What was that? It opened fire!

The red light flashed sharply, the alarm sounded suddenly, and the ship's emergency broadcast hurriedly reported: "Enemy fleet!"
Chapter completed!
