The concert ended at about eleven o'clock in the evening.
The space station still switches the projected scene and public lighting according to the standards of the earth, so when you come out of the Soldiers' House, it is a quiet night scene outside.
But in fact, most people in the space station work in three shifts, and most people have their own work and rest times according to their duty assignments, so the flow of people on the street is about the same at any time.
There is an ecological park in front of the Soldiers' Home. Many people took a rest here after watching the performance. Lu Yingying led Wang Ping'an and Angeli in.
Lu Yingying hummed the melody of the last song and walked on the edge of the lawn, spreading her hands like she was walking on a single-plank bridge.
Wang Ping'an and Angele followed behind, walking on the stone path next to the lawn.
Someone passing by knew Wang Ping'an and shouted: "Hey, what a disaster, are you taking your wife and daughter for a walk?"
"Yes, my daughter, how cute is she?" Wang Ping'an replied.
Lu Yingying shouted: "No! Who are you? You said something wrong on purpose! Don't let me recognize you!"
Wang Ping'an: "Yes, complain to your father severely!"
Anyway, Wang Ping'an doesn't mind having a little more fun. The look of this troublemaker is quite the style of Britain before it was ruled by Indians.
After the acquaintance left laughing, the three of them continued walking along the edge of the lawn.
Angele said: "I always thought that you were not very receptive to rock music. I thought that after arriving here, only elegant music would be played in the concert hall."
"This is prejudice, but we do not accept rock music in its entirety. We still have to criticize the dross in it."
As soon as Wang Ping'an finished speaking, Lu Yingying in front turned around and walked backwards while continuing: "Angeli, didn't you see the anti-drug and law popularization propaganda points at the door? That is part of the criticism. The so-called use doctrine is
Get rid of the dross and get the essence.”
"Oh, you still know how to use doctrine." Wang Ping'an pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it's not simple. I have read Lu Xun! Then let me test you, how many ways can you write the word fennel for fennel beans?"
"Ah? Aren't there just two kinds? One is traditional Chinese and the other is simplified..."
Wang Pingan shook his head: "I overestimated you."
"I'm an art soldier!" Lu Yingying pouted, but her expression immediately widened again, "By the way, you just praised me for being cute! I almost missed this!"
Wang Ping'an shrugged: "When a girl steps on something like a single-plank bridge and opens her arms like this, she will have a sense of innocence and cuteness. The same goes for Angele."
Angele: "Really? I'll give it a try."
As she said that, she walked up to the edge of the lawn, opened her arms and walked forward. At this time, the group of people happened to pass through the airflow that simulated the breeze created by the ventilation system, so the bow at the end of the braid swayed gently.
Lu Yingying stared at Angeli for a few seconds, then turned to Wang Ping'an: "You are so understanding."
Wang Ping'an: "Why do you think those so-called youth dramas in foreign countries always arrange this scene? Basically, good-looking girls doing this kind of action are bonus points.
"Furthermore, in the library, the curtains must be white, and the overall tone should be bright. Then if you blow the curtains, you can see the girl behind the curtains holding a book and leaning against the wall. Do you understand the value of classic scenes?"
Lu Yingying: “Are all girls cute if they do this?”
"Not necessarily. I happened to encounter an exception. It was after the graduation ceremony of the Space Flight Academy. The instructor turned a blind eye that night, so we were all drunk. At that time, Xiao Fang jumped on
The same action is used to walk the tightrope on the railings in the park."
Angele: "Railrail?"
"Yes, and she also wears a disco-type light ball on her head, the kind that scatters colorful light spots around and then spins wildly."
Lu Yingying was speechless: "That's really not cute..."
Wang Ping'an continued: "The next morning, a few friends who were not drunk said that the light of the lamp ball illuminated most of the park, and the city management even came, thinking that an underground band was performing a surprise performance."
Both girls were silent.
Maybe they all feel the unfavorable atmosphere surrounding them now.
Suddenly Lu Yingying hummed: "You said you love lilacs the most..."
"No, no, she doesn't like tweed." Wang Ping'an interrupted Lu Yingying's song, "She can use someone with the soul name of Strafen Kay."
"What the hell?" Lu Yingying's reaction was exactly the same as Angele's.
Wang Ping'an: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I felt really good listening to rock music today. I won't talk about such old things. Is there an access control in your dormitory?"
Lu Yingying: "Yes, of course there is, but it's still early... Wow! I'm going to be reprimanded! I have to go back if I can't do it! Goodbye, bye!"
After saying that, Lu Yingying ran away.
Angele was a little surprised: "She just left like that?"
"Their instructors are very strict."
"Then let's go back too?"
"Well, have a good sleep. I have to get up early to attend the medal ceremony tomorrow. This is my first medal, and I don't want anything to go wrong."
**
"In order to reward Lieutenant Wang Pingan and Second Lieutenant Angele de Lyon for their courage, with the approval of the Supreme Command of the Space Force, Lieutenant Wang Pingan and Second Lieutenant Angele de Lyon are awarded the Silver Star Medal!"
As soon as the colonel who presided over the ceremony finished speaking, the military band played the military song of the Space Force. Wang Ping'an came out of the queue, held his head high and walked with standard military steps to the colonel in charge of conferring medals, stood at attention and saluted.
Angele also walked up to a female colonel. The Space Force was quite strict in this regard.
After the colonel put the medal on Wang Ping'an, he said earnestly: "Why didn't you do this earlier? Why do you have to do those outrageous things?"
Wang Ping'an was taken aback. He confirmed again that he did not know this senior colonel. It seemed that he was already famous.
The colonel patted him on the shoulder: "Concentrate and continue the ceremony."
Wang Ping'an immediately stood at attention and saluted the senior colonel. Then he turned around in a standard manner and saluted the comrades behind him who were participating in the ceremony.
Almost all the four astronauts from the recovery team aboard Valiant came, and even Qin Qiong, who was wearing a hospital gown, came down accompanied by a nurse from the nursing home.
After Wang Pingan and Angeli saluted, everyone applauded.
The awarding ceremony ended with applause.
**
After the awarding ceremony, Wang Ping'an applied for an eight-hour departure pass and drove a small spacecraft by himself to asteroid 00001.
This was the first mining asteroid captured by the Space Force on Earth-Sun L2. After all the valuable mineral deposits were mined, it was transformed into a monument to commemorate all space officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives in extraterrestrial space.
What's left of the asteroid is carved into the shape of a luminous star, with the longest ray pointing toward the center of the Milky Way.
There is a gesture controller on the sculpture to ensure the directionality of the sculpture at any time and to ensure that it will not be deflected due to the movement of the sun and the earth L2.
This sculpture has a nickname among space officers and soldiers, called "Lighthouse".
This is the beacon in the universe, and the direction it points to is the eternal goal of space officers and soldiers.
Reaching the center of the Milky Way, establishing the Galactic Alliance, and truly turning the universe into the last frontier of mankind, this is the ambition set by the Space Force when it was first established.
Wang Ping'an let the spacecraft enter the orbit around the cemetery, then took out the snacks he bought specially and placed them on the co-pilot's seat. He opened a bottle of Coke and placed them next to the snacks.
Then Wang Pingan turned off the AI monitoring system in the cab.
"I got the silver star, see?" He said softly, while gently flicking the silver five-pointed star on his chest.
The natural response to him was silence.
Wang Ping'an opened a can of Coke himself, made a toast gesture, and then took a big sip.
The stimulation caused by carbonic acid reaches directly to the scalp.
Wang Ping'an: "Yesterday I beat up a person who believed in Zhang Li's lies. It doesn't count as a beating. He wanted to commit murder, so I acted bravely."
He paused and continued: "Actually, it's not that I can't understand him. Zhang Li's nonsense actually echoes the needs of many people. Theists believe in heaven and the next life, and they can get comfort from this belief.
"Materialists don't have this comfort, so they either have to be strong or be good at forgetting.
"But sometimes I think, it's actually nice and harmless to have some comfort. Right? Putting a vase in front of you and believing that there is a quantum rose there that will disappear as soon as the observer notices it doesn't violate materialism.
Bar?
"After all, it is quantum mechanics! Who knows when we will make some earth-shattering discovery from quantum mechanics, and then super-light speed will be available, and psychic energy will be available?
"Made Buddhist temple is better than being a father! Do it."
Wang Ping'an drank Coke and fell into silence. From then on, he never spoke again. He just drank Coke one by one until he drank up all the Coke he brought.
Because the surveillance camera in the cab was turned off, no one could tell him. His expression now looked very much like his father smoking silently in the cemetery.

"You actually let him go alone!" Lu Yingying exclaimed.
Angele: "I don't think it's time to step into this range yet. Everyone has an absolutely private circle, and entering hastily will only destroy the relationship between each other. This is what psychology tells me."
"You psychology majors are very cunning. So why are you looking for me?"
Angele: "I want you to introduce me to a delicious restaurant."
"That's why?"
"That's why."
Lu Yingying looked up to the sky and sighed: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? My good sisters thought you were going to challenge me. My roommate even told me vividly that the last time she returned to the ground, she saw her neighbor arresting the mistress.
What a scene! Look at this, this is the weapon they stuffed into me!"
As she spoke, Lu Yingying took out a small Taser gun.
"Isn't this illegal?" Angele asked in surprise.
"It's not illegal if the power does not exceed the regulations, but it can still shock you. Give me time to output." Lu Yingying curled her lips, "But I may not have the arm strength required for output. My roommate suggested that I pull
Your braid."
Angele: "If we really make a fuss like this, what is the usual punishment?"
"Confinement. It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, when there are no performances, I just need to complete the training courses every day. I can also practice my voice in the confinement room. You will be miserable. If you fight with me, you will definitely not be able to get on the boat.
, he can only fly solo."
"He can't fly alone, and he can't fly without me because of his diagnosis."
Lu Yingying let out a long sigh: "You are so cunning. How come you, who came out halfway, have become a near-miss?"
"Are there really many girls who like him?"
"Of course, although he is cheeky and funny, everyone thinks he is very interesting, and under certain circumstances he is really damn handsome. Let me tell you, the girls in the cultural team all say that they are the safest around him.
, because even if the space station explodes, he will do his best to rescue you safely, without losing a hair!
"The good news is that not a single hair is missing, and the bad news is that not a single hair is missing, and there is nothing missing."
After saying that, Lu Yingying blushed and picked up the milk tea on the table to cover her face: "Sorry, I said a dirty joke..."
Angeli was shocked: "Is this considered a dirty joke?"
"But, maybe it doesn't count for the French, uh... it probably doesn't count for my sisters, but for me, it does."
Angele: "Well, to be honest, you are really cute. Normal men would have fallen for you long ago."
"That's right!" Lu Yingying complained, "The girls in our team will catch up with them all at once as long as they take the initiative to pursue someone. But I am unlucky."
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at Angeli: "That's not right. You are also the type who will kill anyone you chase. With your face, bang! bang! Do you have any experience in love?"
"No, I have been studying with all my strength before joining the Space Force. I am different from you. In addition to the various subjects that are required for the Space Force, I also have to learn Chinese and Chinese history. Chinese is really
It’s very difficult to learn, especially for someone like me who has no one in the family who understands Chinese and who really learns from scratch.”
Lu Yingying: "That's such a pity."
"Have you ever been in love?"
"No, because my father is too terrible, and when I was born, he had already finished his front-line service and went to work on the ground. He is at home every day. If I fall in love, he will let me know why the flowers are so red."
Angele: "What do you mean? I remember this is a song from an old movie?"
"Yes, but in this case, it usually means that the buttocks are completely red after being spanked."
Lu Yingying took a sip of milk tea and continued: "When I was in high school, a boy handed me a note, but it was noticed by the small drone my father put on me. Then my father took leave and came over to repair it.
That boy, no one dared to hook up with me since then.
"They also said secretly that my father actually wears a blue hat, which is scary.
"In addition, I have a high vision. Our generation has been genetically modified. Appearance is no longer important. Everyone is handsome. So everyone wants to find someone who is talented, either an academic master, someone who can dance and write, or someone who is suave.
,I think so."
Angele said "Oh": "So you have fallen in love with Wang Huaxiang."
"Yes, he is... passive and suave, that's also suave! And he was admitted to the Space Force, so he is already a top student."
Except for art soldiers like Lu Yingying, basically all members of the Space Force are top academics.
Lu Yingying sighed: "Hey, why did I meet this guy for the first time in love? My father is crazy. He wants me to stay away from him. He even threatens that if I don't give up, he will get rid of the trouble even if he is derelict in his duties.
, then not only will my love partner be unlucky, but my father will also be arrested by the Blue Hat, my mother will also be implicated, and I will lose my job."
Angele was shocked: "Really? He wouldn't really do that, would he?"
"No, my dad is in the Air Force. In fact, I think he, like the leaders of the detachment, thinks it is a pity to cause harm. I didn't know why they thought this way before, but now I checked the information about Xiao Fang
,understood."
Lu Yingying turned her head and looked at the simulated fountain in the middle of the street.
"It should be raining all the time in his world, right?"
"It may not be what you think," Angele said. "He said that he and Xiao Fang have no romantic relationship. Based on my psychological level, I judge that what he said is true."
"Really?" Lu Yingying's expression suddenly brightened.
"It's true, but that's what makes it more difficult."
Lu Yingying's expression dimmed. She lowered her eyes and looked at the table, holding the base of the milk tea cup with her hands, and fell into silence.
Angeli comforted: "Don't worry, I trust the computer's matching. This is a judgment made by combining all the psychological research results of mankind so far, with the assistance of big data!"
Lu Yingying: "Do you know that the troubles that plague today's parents are all caused by big data equipment?"
"I know."
"So! If you two...are a match made in heaven, what should I do?"
Angeli shrugged: "Let Big Data give you one too?"
"Are you serious?"
"I'm serious. Aren't all the dating agencies on the ground now matched by big data? Aren't the success rates quite high? Even if the fictitious part for publicity is deducted..."
"Ah, this is not allowed in our country." Lu Yingying said, "All advertising data is real data, otherwise it will be done by the anti-fraud bureau. This is also considered fraud."
"Isn't that the end?" Angele said, taking a big mouthful of sundae.
Lu Yingying looked at her suspiciously: "Are you really not here to persuade me to give up?"
"No, I'm here to have a meal. But we can also talk about girls. By the way, I told you yesterday that the troublemaker, Wang Ping'an, is going to the Centaur Project.
Aren’t you going to support him?”
"Of course I support him, but he can't go. I told my sisters yesterday, and they all agreed that he absolutely can't go."
Angele said "That's it" and started eating the sundae with all her heart.
At this time, the pasta and other staple dishes they ordered began to be served.
