The low-Earth orbit defense platform, the central control bridge, every head wants to pass through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Fuck!"
"STARSHIP!!!"
"Good guy... Brother Ye Shi really drove that thing back?!"
"Tsk, you still call me brother!"
"That's it! Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi——"
"I heard that he brought back a Gaian!"
"Excited!"
"You are so excited! Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Damn! Can't you just wonder what people are like?"
"Hey, "Wasteland OL" can be renamed. The public beta can just be called "Starry Sky OL"."
"Shh! Don't let the dog planner hear it!"
These guys huddled together in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows are all Alliance players.
Among them were members of the Burning Corps, as well as individuals from other corps who had not even joined the corps.
Welcome the return of the Orion guided missile cruiser is a limited time event in the recent server, you can participate as long as you sign up.
Of course.
Once this limited-time event is launched, it is almost foreseeable that everyone will sign up.
However, the bridge space of only a few hundred square meters obviously cannot accommodate so many people.
Moreover, the people standing in the "auditorium" were not only people from the alliance, but also representatives sent by various survivor forces in the wasteland, such as colleges, companies, the South China Sea Alliance, and even the Eastern Empire, etc.
It is said that having fun alone is not as good as having fun together. What’s the point of admiring such a large starship behind closed doors?
Ye Shi is not the only one who is anxious to show off, Chu Guang also has this need.
Standing behind all the players, Fang Chang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the dark crowd crowded by the window.
"I can even imagine that guy's face that couldn't hold the gun down at the corner of his mouth."
"Hahaha, I can't help it, who wants us to be tricked by this guy?"
Lao Bai smiled and patted Fang Chang's shoulder, casting his gaze towards the deep universe not far away.
Looking in the direction of the synchronous orbit from here, the starship is actually not visible at all.
But that familiar face seemed to have flown in front of them.
He even heard the guy's wild laughter.
Maybe this is also spiritual power.
Standing on the edge of the water, he sighed and said.
"I didn't expect...this time you all overturned the situation collectively, and in the end it was this most unreliable guy who overturned the situation."
"You can't say it's unreliable," Bangfeng touched the bridge of his nose and said with a faint smile, "It's just that Fang Chang usually makes the decision, let alone him. Lao Bai and I are used to lying down.
.”
"Hahaha, it seems true." Lao Bai said with a smile.
This time Fang Chang felt a little embarrassed, coughed slightly and said.
"Actually, I'm not surprised that he was able to make a comeback. This kid is not very lucky... Do you remember that time on the Heart of Steel? It was also a familiar situation, and he was the only one who survived in the end."
The commander of the spring water whistled and said jokingly.
"Just luck?"
Fang Chang shrugged.
"Of course, there's also perception."
Lao Bai: "Hahahaha, humorous!"
While everyone was making jokes, several young D-class guys from the academy were looking at these noisy guys with disgust, but they didn't dare to say anything.
There is no other reason.
The martial virtues of these guys are so abundant, and their reputation in the wasteland is even more resounding.
However, although they dare not have a direct conflict, this does not prevent them from complaining behind their backs.
"Do these guys expect to see starships in synchronous orbit with the naked eye?"
"Stupid wastelander, haha."
"But having said that... I heard that some of them have mastered psychic powers and can communicate with their compatriots five light years away?"
"That's nonsense." A D-class researcher chuckled and glanced sideways at the E-class colleague next to him, "You believe what others say?"
The little E-class was stunned for a moment and scratched the back of his head.
"Then... what about the morphogenesis field? The higher-ups have started researching it, so it's not just nonsense, right?"
"That one sounds a little more reliable."
"...Aren't they all the same thing?"
"..."
In addition to complaining about the alliance's shelter residents who blocked the entire floor-to-ceiling windows, there were also some researchers with expressions of envy written all over their faces.
This envy is not entirely directed at the starship, but also at the "low-Earth orbit defense platform" itself.
Although the academy has mastered countless technologies left over from the pre-war era, very few of them can be restored to reality, and most of them are stored in databases.
The reason is mainly because most of the creations in the Prosperity Era relied on dizzyingly complex industrial chains, and the wasteland obviously does not have such dense and complex industrial chains.
In fact, not to mention colleges, even alliances and even enterprises, it is almost impossible to simply replicate the prosperity of the People's Federation era.
But the Alliance has accomplished something that no one else has accomplished.
That is to use the legacy of the Age of Prosperity to create prosperity in another sense.
If the Age of Prosperity is a utopia for the people of the old era, then the new era is undoubtedly a utopia for the wastelanders.
They created the Wastelanders' own future...
Unlike those "little D-levels" who were pointing fingers, Yang Kai, a B-level researcher, seemed much calmer.
Because of his work, he often travels between the alliance's territory and the academy's territory, including the special zone of the Science and Technology Committee, etc., so he is quite used to the behavior of these players.
Looking at Yang Kai, whose facial expression didn't have many fluctuations, the man standing aside smiled softly and said.
"Congratulations, your apprentice is safe...and I conservatively estimate that she will probably be promoted to level B this time."
Very few people can produce a B-level researcher before retiring.
After all, researchers at the academy usually retire at the age of 50.
Even for Yang Kai, a young and promising researcher, it took nearly 20 years to go from apprentice to B-level, let alone the students he taught.
However, no one expected that the accident happened when no one was expecting it.
A small E-class researcher rose to C-class at an incredible speed, and soon after becoming C-class, he encountered major events such as the "Death Agent" and the "Orion".
Looking at the one and a half century history of the college, this situation is unique.
"As long as everything is fine." Yang Kai responded with a reserved expression to the congratulations from colleagues on the side.
The man laughed and said.
"Yeah, as long as everything is fine."
Yang Kai glanced at him and said nothing, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
This person's identity is extraordinary, he is Qi Liu, the director of the Investigation Department, one of the four major departments of the college!
Although he is not a researcher of the Investigation Department, in the strict-hierarchical academy, Grade A is already the father of everyone except the chief technology officer and Dr. Conclusion.
Only the directors of the four major departments and retired directors have this level!
Although from a resume point of view, Yang Kai has met the criteria for promotion to the quasi-A level, which is the so-called A-level.
But even if it is a quasi-A class, there is still a big difference in authority and status between it and a real A-class.
However, compared to his restraint, Qi Liu did not show too much condescension, but was surprisingly easy-going.
Yang Kai was a little undecided for a while and couldn't figure out what medicine this boss was selling in his gourd.
Qi Liu looked at him with a smile, and suddenly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, there is a rumor in the college recently. I wonder if Mr. Yang has heard about it."
Yang Kai was slightly startled and said cautiously.
"I've been on field duty with the Alliance during this period, so I don't know much about what's going on at the rear... I hope Mr. Qi can give me some advice."
Qi Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise, then continued with a smile.
"It's just a rumor. I just said it casually. Don't take it too seriously..."
After a pause, he continued.
"There are rumors that the distinguished Dr. Conclusion talked to our chief technology officer and said that he hopes to establish a separate department based on the four major divisions to be responsible for studying the void, dimensional theory and the pioneer civilization that left this universe, and then put
Projects related to morphogenesis fields are merged."
When Yang Kai heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.
The reason why he was shocked was not entirely because of the rumor that Director Qi said, but that the rumor actually came from Director Qi's mouth...
Can this be called a rumor?!
Above the four chief directors is the chief technology officer. Who else could it be besides the chief technology officer telling him personally?!
Looking at Director Qi who was smiling meaningfully, Yang Kai was shocked and speechless.
Maybe it's not just his apprentices who make history, but he, the master, can also get some light and make history by the way...
"Generally speaking, quasi-A-levels are reserve directors of the four major departments. The promotion process is usually to put them in the deputy position for training first, and wait until the previous director retires before taking over... However, this department that was created out of thin air is not very good.
Use the original method."
"The deputy director of our Investigation Department is quite interested, but I'm still waiting for him to hand over the work. Who will I look for to take over if he takes over? What's more, the ruins of this pioneer civilization are different from the ruins of the People's League.
...We have never seen what psionic energy looks like, have we? I can’t be so shameless as to tell other department heads that this job is ours.”
"So I recommended you to the organization...your research team is probably the team closest to the 'morphogenesis field'."
Qi Liu said with a smile, and gently patted the stunned Yang Kai on the shoulder.
"Congratulations in advance, Director Yang... If nothing else happens, the four major departments will become the fifth major departments in the future!"
…
Just when Yang Kai was shocked and speechless, Jiang Xuezhou, who was on the Orion guided missile cruiser, was also nervously squirting.
Seeing her sniffling, Ye Shi wanted to take off her helmet and wipe it for her, but he was afraid of being beaten by her, so he could only hand her the paper in distress.
"Do you have a cold?"
Jiang Xuezhou shook his head vigorously, turned around and blew his nose, then turned his head and stared at him seriously.
"Ye Shi..."
Feeling the serious gaze through the dark helmet eyepiece, Ye Shi was slightly stunned and said.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Xuezhou was coy for a while and said in a low voice.
"How about you tell me you are the captain when we get off the ship soon...or I can switch with you and transfer the captain's position to you."
Ye Shi said confused.
"why."
Jiang Xuezhou whispered.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to the edge of the universe in this ship...I, I'm afraid that after I go back, my master will know that I am the captain and take this ship away from me."
puff--
Ye Shi almost choked on his own saliva and coughed dryly.
"I think the academy shouldn't be so petty."
In the past, he complained about the academy's pettiness, and Jiang Xuezhou was in a hurry with him, but now he is making fun of himself.
All right.
It was definitely different before.
They had nothing before, but now they really have a starship!
This is the most coveted thing in the academy.
Seeing Jiang Xuezhou's nervous look, Ye Shi couldn't help feeling that this game was so damn real, even the harsh words were so real.
Although the tsunderes of the academy are always as excited as if their tails were stepped on when faced with some of the ridicule from the wastelanders, when something really happens, they are still a bit concerned about the bad habits in their own family.
"That's a starship! A missile cruiser of the People's Alliance Aerospace Force! And it's complete! Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean..." Ye Shi whispered with a guilty conscience, "This ship is in such a broken state, how can they just use it as a colonial ship..."
"I can't tell," Jiang Xuezhou said seriously, "its hyperspace engine can still be used, and it is the only usable hyperspace engine in the solar system."
That serious expression made Ye Shi feel warm in his heart.
It can be seen that she has regarded this as their future home, her elbows have unconsciously turned towards him, and she finally no longer talks about the things of the academy every day.
In other words, does this count as a successful strategy?
"I'm talking to you seriously, why are you giggling!"
Looking at Ye Shi who suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, Jiang Xuezhou raised his eyebrows and reached out to pinch his waist in annoyance.
"Haha, I just think your nervous look is a bit cute..."
Looking at Jiang Xuezhou who was about to explode in the next second, Ye Shi decisively stopped teasing him and continued speaking in a semi-serious tone.
"Then we won't go back? Will we elope on the spot?"
Ye Shi felt that the hand on his waist stopped.
Xuezhou, who stood in front of him, was silent for a while and muttered in a low voice.
"...It's not impossible."
only……
It's really a bit regretful that I didn't say goodbye to my family.
And if she does this, she might deceive the master.
Although there is no so-called teaching grace in the indifferent college, and tutors and students mostly use each other and achieve mutual success, her tutor is actually quite good to her, and she still has the grace not to kill.
.
Looking at the tangled look, Ye Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to touch her round helmet.
"I'm very grateful that you can think of me like this...but I won't let you make that difficult choice."
It would be naive to expect that the problem can be solved by transferring the captain to him.
To put it bluntly, Brother Guang may not necessarily miss the things that the academy cares about.
Jiang Xuezhou raised his head and looked at him, his eyes half surprised and half moved.
"Ye Shi..."
Ye Shi smiled at her.
"Don't worry, we will leave with everyone else's blessings...leave it to me."
The Alliance will not let the academy own this starship. Jiang Xuezhou's idea is purely redundant.
On the other hand, it is impossible for academies and enterprises to allow the Alliance to possess such super-standard weapons alone, and the kind that can flexibly maneuver between the solar system and other galaxies.
There are boundaries to trust, and this super-standard weapon has exceeded those boundaries.
No one can guarantee that the one hundred thousand flying above your head will not point to you.
In this way, the starship will have room to operate.
Before returning from Nanmen 2, Ye Shi had already thought about how to deal with this problem.
While announcing the discovery of the planet Gaia and the secrets of the pioneer civilization, he will also launch an initiative to recruit volunteers from the wasteland to take the Orion to other galaxies outside the solar system to search for the footprints of the pioneer civilization.
This plan will be announced after he sets foot on the earth, and will be implemented immediately after the crisis between heaven and humanity is resolved!
In the name of exploring the ruins of the pioneer civilization, volunteers from all parties will jointly pilot the Orion to the outside of the solar system. This is the best idea he can think of, besides dismantling the starship, and it is also the easiest-sounding idea.
A solid idea.
Anyway, leaving this kind of super-standard weapon in the solar system is a hidden danger. If any party gets it, it will make other parties nervous. Rather than increasing the trust cost of all parties, it is better to just throw it out for adventure.
And it is an expedition under the public supervision of all parties.
They will regularly report routes and investigated clues to scientific research institutions on Earth, and at the same time obtain technical help from the latter. This is a win-win choice for all parties.
For the major survivor forces, they can not only ensure that the ship is still under the control of human civilization as a whole, but also obtain more data on exoplanets and clues to pioneer civilizations through exploration of the extraterrestrial world.
.
As time goes by, when the aerospace industry capabilities of human civilization develop, this super-standard power will naturally wax and wane and become less super-standard.
Seeing Ye Shi's confident expression, Jiang Xuezhou nodded vigorously and took his hand to board the scientific research ship.
Dora and Little Koala also followed the two of them, sitting on the seats with different moods.
Meanwhile, the viewing room of Vault 404.
Looking at the scientific research ship slowly approaching the low-Earth orbit defense platform on the holographic screen, Chu Guang couldn't help but curl up with a faint smile.
In fact, for a moment, he was still wondering whether Ye Shi would be clever and run away with his little girlfriend.
After all, this guy has seriously discussed the technical feasibility of elopement on the forum, and a guy with the ID name [Professor Yang, the King of Thunder] even came up with a lot of smart and bad ideas.
But it seemed that the boy was not stupid, and he drove the boat back obediently.
In fact, this guy has no need to worry at all. He knows that someone is not a parent, and he takes everything except pots and pans.
Although he has been talking about cutting leeks since the server was launched, he has never actually snatched away the treasures from players. At most, when everyone was poor, he "harvested dungeons" that some players had no use for.
When the mission props are settled into silver coins.
But who really lost money?
Facts have proved that no one lost anything.
The Alliance has never treated anyone who has contributed to the Alliance badly.
It was so before and it is so now.
At this time, Chu Guang suddenly thought of something, put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.
"Xiaoqi, wouldn't it be a good idea to welcome people with empty hands?"
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, are you preparing a gift now? But...will it be too late?"
Chu Guang smiled mysteriously.
"What I mean is, how about you make a server-wide announcement or something, similar to clearing a hidden mission, killing the world BOSS, and by the way, welcoming the return of the Orion and the return of the People's Alliance Air and Space Force."
no other meaning.
He just wanted to tease Ye Shi and send a banner to scare this kid.
By the way, I also help this guy reduce his hatred.
I have to let him pretend all by himself. The official website forum has almost become a fight in the past two days. If I refresh it, they are all shouting "Cut a knife". It seems that the game cannot be played without cutting this guy.
"oh--"
Seeing the meaningful smile of the owner, Xiao Qi suddenly realized and let out a long-drawn voice, and then also laughed evilly.
"Cool cool cool... As expected of the master, good or bad!"
Looking at Xiao Qi who understood instantly, Chu Guang smiled and nodded, with approval in his eyes.
As expected of his Xiaoqi!
"Don't forget to give him a limited title and reputation reward to make him happy."
The starship has been promised to him, so don't talk about money in the mission rewards.
That's so tacky!
Of course, there is no need to mention starships.
If that guy is really enlightened, he will naturally figure out how to keep it.
