In any case, Ronan has found Mr. Liang Lu who is the target of the mission, and he doesn't seem to be too difficult to get along with.
In fact, Ronan still didn't quite understand the purpose of the sergeant major who sent him here before, but the one who gave the orders here seemed to be a higher-ranking school officer who had already made arrangements, and he was happy to continue following the plot. See
Let’s see what arrangements the “Inner Universe” editor or his own subconscious will make.
Ronan took another look at the school officer who was skilled in business and got his name from the auxiliary brain:
Ascension.
This name is weird, but he is indeed a capable person.
"Newbie, follow up. If you don't want to take a long detour, we have to hurry up."
In perfect coordination with Liang Lu's reminder, the auxiliary brain received an information broadcast: "The interruption station has entered the first-level wartime state, and the power supply to non-essential areas will be cut off. The soldier corridor will be closed in 30 seconds, and the auxiliary magnetic track will be closed in 120 seconds.
Close after the break.”
Ronan knew that "breath" is the basic time unit of this interstellar civilization, which is about five times the Earth's standard second. 30 breaths is about two and a half minutes.
Liang Lu said: "The school officer has made arrangements. We have to go back to the 'Second Beehive' room to give you induction training there. If we can enter Corridor No. 3 within 10 seconds, we can save about 70 seconds, then
It will give us a little more time to get familiar with the business.”
Ronan's game character saluted politely: "Yes, Mr. Liang Lu."
Liang Lu was quite satisfied with Ronan's reaction, but he still couldn't keep his airs at the end and raised the corners of his lips: "There's no need to address him so formally. I'm not an officer, Mingjue. I'm just a second-class sergeant now, and I only have five years to join the army."
Ten weeks…”
While speaking, he also took off the goggles on his face, revealing a handsome but ordinary face with pure black pupils, almost no different from a normal earthling.
Ronan still didn't know whether this was the result of data splicing, or whether "Liang Lu" itself had such an image. He didn't bother with it, but studied and converted the time units that were quite different between the two sides.
The alien civilization he is currently living in adopts a simple decimal system for time units. Except for the basic "breath" whose basis is unknown, the scales on it such as minutes, quarters, hours, days, weeks, quarters, years, etc. are all
In decimal place.
Of course, Ronan has no time to worry about those proper nouns. These units are the result of rough translation, and some of them don't actually mean that. They are forced to correspond just for the sake of neatness.
Such a system makes the time represented by each level of unit, compared with the earth's timing unit, the length is quite complicated.
The 50 weeks Liang Lu mentioned is about 9 to 10 months when converted to earth time. He is indeed still a new recruit. No wonder he still has a lingering student spirit on his face. It seems that he has not yet
Well-trained in the military...
Ronan was making comments here, while the game characters maintained a respectful attitude, following along, quickly integrating into the wide and empty space outside the hive, and after several turns, entered a certain "tunnel".
The moment they entered, there was a slight sense of spatial dislocation. Half a second later, they came to a "big tube" with a diameter of more than 100 meters. According to the authority, they were placed on a specific invisible magnetic track, traveling at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.
, Sturm und Drang.
People like them were all whizzing past on their respective tracks in front of and behind them. At first glance, it seemed chaotic, but in fact, unarmed personnel, armed soldiers, and personnel carrying heavy equipment were all divided into categories and in order.
Moreover, some of them suddenly moved out midway and disappeared without a trace. There was obviously some kind of space shifting effect.
Ronan knew that this was the most convenient passage connecting the relay station's "local time and space" with the underground core's "demiplane". Such a design that distorts the normal space structure cannot even touch the current technological level of the earth.
When he was tested offline, he reshaped the defense array in order to take care of the spatial relationship between the two, but he had such a headache that he almost lost his hair.
In any case, Liang Lu's calculations were reliable. They arrived at the inner area of the "Second Beehive" before the express lane was closed, which already belonged to a relatively independent "demi-plane".
Compared with the base "outside" that is under siege by powerful enemies, the demiplane is calmer, without frequent explosions. However, the busyness and noise here are not inferior to the command room just now... and there are some differences.
At this moment, Ronan's eyes and ears were filled with various colors of paint and the sound of gold and iron clashing.
In the complex and well-connected visible space, self-propelled, adsorbed, suspended, and various mechanical creations clumsily slapped on the conveyor belt continue to shuttle and advance, converging into a mighty torrent of steel, flowing continuously.
It was brought in from "outside" but I don't know where to go.
"This is our combat mission." Liang Lu raised his chin, "We need to get these guys running again."
"Most of them seem to have no problems." Ronan made his judgment based on his own vision.
Liang Lu sneered: "They themselves have no problem, but thanks to a certain guy who thinks he is good, they are all in trouble now."
Ronan blinked, not to mention what the problem was, according to what Liang Lu said, do you need to repair all these thousands of machines?
"Don't be nervous. First of all, you are just a newbie, just here to do something. Secondly, there are many newbies like you. Again, it won't be like this for a long time. When the reinforcements come, you won't need to cause trouble. Finally,
, I believe that the arrangements made by the promotion officer and me will definitely take care of your current level..."
"New Soldier Egg" Liang Lu's statement made "Rookie" Ronan feel the power of some kind of reincarnation response.
However, Liang Lu felt that his expression was quite friendly, so he continued this tone and cheered Ronan up: "I just read your information. You are the first batch of returnees from the empire to pass the 'hundred-year sequence' after the evil catastrophe."
Seed talents.
"Even though there was a gap of thousands of years and everyone had little experience, they still continued the standards of the Zhanhe era. It's true that your results are seriously partial to the subject, but in the configuration subject, you are still very good.
"Of course, you are partial to subjects to the extent that you are absent from the exam. Only in a logistics and technical position like ours can you maximize your abilities..."
Ronan heard a number of proprietary words in succession, such as "Nie Jie Shi", "Hundred Years Sequence", "Naturalized Seeds", "Zhan He Era"... Some of them were slightly familiar, and some were completely unfamiliar. The unexplained meanings of these words kept dividing Liang Lu's expressions.
, let him understand the difficulty.
This is the disadvantage of immersive experience.
Ronan was almost about to restart the virtual brain system's information pop-up window to see if there would be a serious explanation inside.
At this time, the area where the two of them were was lit up with red light. Liang Lu, who had been talking eloquently earlier, closed his mouth and frowned to receive the external information.
