Fang Mingming broke two legs this time and had to replace them with metal legs because of the previous small-scale ground landing battle launched against Planet No. 5.
Well, in the process of human beings conquering aliens, if a war breaks out, the Marine Corps will often suffer the heaviest losses.
In Fang Mingming's memory, in that landing battle, as many as 1,540 soldiers were killed on the USS Shoal landing ship alone, and as many as 780 soldiers were injured.
Well, in fact, in battles with bugs, it is common for there to be fewer injured than dead. After all, if bugs get close to them, human soldiers can easily be massacred by bugs with strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
You must know that there are only 15,000 Marines in the USS Shoal landing ship.
If the evacuation had not been timely, the number of battle losses would have been far greater than this.
But what really made Fang Mingming feel pain was a landing battle and a defensive battle that took place after this period.
Although the subsequent landing battle was successful, it was a tragic victory. The Shoal landing ship killed more than 3,000 people.
In the subsequent battle to guard a mine, the Shoal was almost completely destroyed, and Fang Mingming was one of the few dozen people left.
But even so, his whole body had to be replaced. Except for his head, his whole body was replaced with metal parts. He was assessed as no longer fit for service and had to withdraw from active service.
Finally, under the influence of war syndrome, Fang Mingming suffered from depression and committed suicide ten years later.
It can be said that the thing he hates most in his life is bugs.
So his wish before he died was to kill bugs, the more the better!
Well, after receiving Fang Mingming's memory, Fang Xiaoyue finally understood that the main task this time is to kill insects. The more you kill, the higher the task reward will be.
Well, to be honest, he still likes main missions like this. There are not so many twists and turns, it’s just reckless!
"Two items of the body's abilities are temporarily given randomly!"
"Fang Mingming's original ability: small weapon shooting, harmonica temporarily granted success."
Well, small arms shooting is one of the necessary skills for the Marine Corps, and the harmonica has been Fang Mingming's hobby since childhood. When he has nothing to do, he will take out the harmonica and play a song to entertain himself.
After taking over the main mission, Fang Xiaoyue checked herself a little and found that she was doing well. Although she had changed two legs, at least there were no major problems with other parts of her body.
Then, he opened the cabinet and checked his personal belongings.
For example, the double-row polyphonic harmonica produced by the Phoenix Harmonica Factory, the home planet of the Blue Star Alliance, or a family photo, etc.
Wearing the soldier's multifunctional AI watch, after the watch probe pierced the skin, causing a slight pain, the watch immediately generated a translucent flat screen in mid-air, and at the same time a mechanical voice came from: "Hello, soldier Fang Mingming,
AI8777432 is at your service.”
This watch is a standard equipment for soldiers or officers of the exploration fleet. The watch has a built-in low-level AI intelligence. When connected to the Internet, it can provide functions such as local battlefield conditions, battlefield communications, and even prompt the number and location of enemies.
When a soldier is injured, the medicine built into the watch can be automatically injected to save the soldier's life.
"432, help me check if last month's allowance has arrived?"
Fang Xiaoyue was a little hungry and wanted to go to the canteen, so she asked immediately.
"Last month's allowance, disability allowance, and battlefield bonus have been credited to your interstellar account, with a total of 531 credits. Do I need to broadcast the details to you?"
"Oh, no need."
Fang Xiaoyue immediately opened the door and walked towards the cafeteria according to the direction in her memory.
It should be said that in this interstellar age of exploring the universe, due to the comprehensive use of AI, the Blue Star Alliance has completely eliminated physical banknotes and replaced them with credits.
To put it simply, the value of credit points is relatively high. For a first-class soldier like Fang Mingming, the monthly allowance is 120 credit points.
If placed on the home planet, these 120 credits would be enough for a family of three to live comfortably for three months.
The reason why he has 510 credits this month is entirely due to additional subsidies and bonuses due to injuries sustained in combat.
Hmm, okay, on this medical and entertainment logistics support ship, there are not many places where you can spend credits.
The canteen counts as one, the cinema counts as one, the game room counts as one, and the canteen counts as one.
The final fitness room is free and open to soldiers.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, many soldiers who had just recovered from injuries were sitting on the all-metal dining table to eat.
You don't need to prepare your own meals here, you just need to sit down, order meals with your watch, and the smart robot in the canteen will deliver the meals.
When the exploration fleet was first established, there were many objections saying that there was no need to set up a canteen at all, which was a waste of space on the battleship. After all, in these exploration fleets, there was no natural food to provide for the soldiers, and some were just
Synthetic meat, synthetic canned vegetables, etc.
However, considering that the soldiers' dining mood would greatly affect their morale, canteens were eventually built on all warships.
But having said that, the food in this cafeteria is really not that good.
Synthetic meat and synthetic canned vegetables may taste like meat or vegetables, but there is something missing. Compared with natural ingredients, they are quite different.
Of course, this is just something Fang Xiaoyue is not used to.
The soldiers around me all ate quite deliciously, because they had been familiar with this kind of food since they could remember it, and they didn't feel there was anything unpalatable about it at all.
Well, ahem, there are many reasons for this, but the most important point is that these soldiers are actually clones.
This is not surprising. An exploration fleet is dozens or hundreds of light years away from its home star, and there is not much time or opportunity to replenish its forces.
Battleships, fighter planes, and various weapons can also be manufactured by relying on the base mothership that follows the fleet, but soldiers cannot.
If we rely solely on humans to reproduce, it will be too slow.
Therefore, the soldiers on the exploration fleet are basically clones.
Only clones can quickly grow up to adulthood in just a few months, and then be imbued with corresponding memories to become excellent soldiers and add them to the fleet.
If this were not the case, the exploration fleet would not be able to compete with the Zerg at all, and would have been beaten to the point of losing its armor and escaping from this star system.
Of course, in the Blue Star Alliance, clones have the same rights and status as natural persons.
This is very important to ensure that the entire Blue Star Alliance will not be torn apart due to the differences between natural humans and clones.
Of course, in fact, most clones don't have much chance to return to their home planet. After all, from a certain perspective, clones are just consumables.
