Chapter 156 It’s better to test the gun against the sun than to choose another day
"The worlds of people are not connected to each other." Kalki sighed, "Krishna, I have left Keto to you. I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in the future."
"You have changed, Kalki. After you came back from Gaia, you are no longer like you were before. Before, you were such a confident and happy person, as if nothing in the world could stop you."
"Young people don't know the feeling of sorrow." Kalki turned his face sideways, "I am indeed no longer the person I used to be, because I have begun to understand sorrow."
A fleet took off from the neuron-type dispersed military airport at Ceto Base.
Kalki, wearing a Sheva robe, stood in front of the beautifully designed transparent portholes of the "Auspicious Goddess" and looked at the entire Keto base. Then it seemed to disappear in an instant and turned into a starry sky in front of his eyes.
Every soldier can never forget the place where he went to the battlefield for the first time. The reason why Keto holds a special place in his heart is that it is the place where Rama and his friends died...
If time stayed at that dusk, watch the sunset on the sea with them; if time stayed at the moment when the apricot blossoms bloomed in the Gangdise Mountains, the moment I proposed to Xuanji.
He woke up from the dream of youth and had to live alone in this cold world.
During Kalki's voyage, Yerou continued to work and live as usual.
She goes to the underground station early every morning and takes the long-distance "Wahana" to go to work at the D378 Weapons Research Institute.[1]
Originally she could go to the "White Peacock Restaurant" for breakfast, but this high-end restaurant serving high-end Kshatriyas, with all the people coming and going in aristocratic manners, always made her feel out of place, so she preferred to take an hour's drive to her work first.
Have breakfast in the cafeteria.
"Yerou, good morning."
"You're here! You're still so beautiful today."
When she shuttles through the huge hall of her unit, she is always the focus of everyone's attention. Because of her "high marriage", she has become the envy of everyone.
She first goes to the staff cafeteria of the Weapons Research Institute to eat every day. The environment and atmosphere here are very similar to the cafeteria of the "Xili" military industrial base. Plato's system always has an egalitarian style. Except for the top nobles, everyone
Almost.
Afterwards, she quickly changed into work clothes, stood on the beam-like lifting platform, and headed to her hexagonal workshop.
This is a small space, but all the equipment is available inside. Her job is to design weapons.
Constantly touching the projection touch screen, the three-dimensional projection will produce various angles of the design work. There are many designers like her in D378, and they all work hard designing in a hexagonal studio with one person per room. p>
These studios are aggregated like a huge, boundless hive. This is part of Plato's huge military industry system. All designers are working hard, and everyone dreams of designing a weapon that can be used like Sir-17.
A gun that goes down in the history of weapons.
Wearing light blue work clothes, Yerou is constantly adjusting the blueprint of her current work. She is designing a shoulder-mounted large-caliber proton light speed gun, which can be very lethal in close combat and can even penetrate the knight's space armor.
, and are currently struggling to reduce the weight of the weapon.
"Let me see how a master like Marci handles it." She said to herself while quickly tapping on the touch screen to search for information.
"Isn't this better..."
The big, spiritual eyes behind the goggles were constantly looking at the 3D renderings from all angles, and then clicked to disassemble the virtual gun butt and disassemble the parts inside...
Originally she was a promising female designer, but getting married at the age of 20 always made her feel that she would lag behind her male colleagues in research and development speed. She felt that everyone wanted her to give Kalki a child as soon as possible, as if she
The greatest value is having children, other than that, there is no self-worth.
"No! I have to work overtime again today!"
When she was about to get off work, she let out a soft cry and desperately held her head with her hands, stroking her soft and curly hair.
In order to catch up with the design progress, she voluntarily worked overtime for an extra hour.
Finally, she looked at the renderings again and took a deep breath.
"I finally reduced the weight of the gun stock by 10%. I have to look at the problem with the automatic bracket tomorrow..." She packed it up as she said it, putting all the instruments and tools back into the automatic drawer on the wall.
A tiring day's work was finally completed. When she had just changed into casual clothes and hurriedly walked through the hall under the dome of the design institute, and was about to go to the underground station, a group of colleagues rushed over.
"Ye Rou, guess who is here?" The young colleagues at the reception desk looked very excited.
"Come with us quickly!"
They surrounded her without any explanation and walked towards the spacious entrance hall.
Kalki, who is tall and straight, is wearing a light cyan knight's robe and stands in front of the huge transparent curtain wall in the hall.
He has always been the focus of everyone's attention, and people who come and go will look at him curiously: a white tiger knight from the "Nikat Ring" is really a rare visitor.
"Ye Rou, you are finally off work."
The familiar voice is still low and pleasant.
Kalki turned around, his eyes as blue and deep as the lake behind him. He had grown a short beard on the way back, and his chin and cheeks were golden and bronze. He looked completely different from when he set out.
More mature.
Ye Rou looked at her husband who had returned after traveling 7,900 light years, and was stunned for a moment.
Although she thought about him day and night, she was completely unprepared for his sudden appearance, and she couldn't even believe her eyes.
"Oh my God! Kalki...it's you!"
She covered her lips with her hands like a little girl, feeling so excited that she couldn't help herself.
They have been separated for three and a half months... She has not received any news of his return, and the fleet's movements are all secret, so she is waiting for him alone.
She must control herself, otherwise she will rush into his arms on impulse.
The female colleagues around her responded with unusual envy, praising "so handsome", "so tall" and the like, just like the little girls from the floral club who met Hastings back then.
They.

Looking at his wife with bright eyes, flushed face, and a confused look, Kalki smiled slightly. In his heart, Yerou was innocent and cute.
"I came back early, and the return journey went extremely smoothly. An area in the 'pipe' had abnormal energy due to a supernova explosion. Driven by the wave-like energy field, the Knights' fleet arrived 35 hours earlier than scheduled," Kalki told his wife.
He explained a few words and spoke in a very gentle voice, "I have already gone to Marburg to brief the Grand Commander of Ira, and he also gave me 2 weeks of vacation..."
After returning home, he found that everything was like an empty pure white marble palace, perfect but lifeless. It was not like a home, but like a luxurious cage.
Two intelligent housekeeping robots came to greet him, but he wanted to see Yerou right away. The 20-year-old girl had been living alone in this place for almost four months, and she must feel lonely every day.
He didn't want to spend time in the swimming pool anymore, so he immediately made an appointment for the long-distance "Wahana" to go to the D378 Small Arms Research Institute in the "Dwa Ring".
Although it is best to make a reservation in advance to go to such a unit, but for a person of his status, except for the Forbidden Palace, Plato can probably set foot in other places at will.
In this way, he came here.
He may have never thought that one day he would go to pick up his wife from her workplace, just like the most ordinary couple.
The two just stared at each other. "Let's go back!" Kalki stretched out his right hand, and Yerou, who was blushing, was just about to extend her hand to him.
"Grand Commander! We couldn't greet you from far away! What a disrespect!" Director Sango of the D378 Weapons Research Institute suddenly intervened, as if a large light bulb flew directly over.
It seems inappropriate to use a light bulb to describe this shrewd and capable director, because Director Sango belongs to the "Suzaku" human race. Not only is he not white or bright, but he is very dark.
"Oh! No! Captain Kalki, warm welcome!" Director Sango was extremely enthusiastic and almost rushed towards a knight leader. "I originally planned to attend Yerou's wedding, but unexpectedly on that day, suddenly
I had severe diarrhea, so I didn't make it. I lost the opportunity to meet the 'First Samurai'. What a pity!"
"You are the first great hero in history to break through the Gaia planet on your own, and rescued dozens of prisoners. Later, you led a fleet to occupy the Gaia Fortress Messier, and then attacked a series of Gaia mining areas. Therefore,
Winning a laurel crown... Oh my god! You are the son-in-law of our D378 Weapons Research Institute. What an honor for us! When I think that the best weapons we have developed can be adopted by the White Tiger Knights, and can be continuously transported to countries like you
We are so honored and honored to be able to create more great miracles in the hands of such a great hero on the battlefield..."
Director Sango's compliments flooded towards Kalki like a torrent of water. His eyes widened slightly. It was the first time in his life that someone used a "rainbow fart" to flatter him. He seemed a little overwhelmed. p>
"I'm actually here to take Ye Rou home..."
"No! Now is the best time for the senior generals of the White Tiger Knights and our D378 Weapons Research Institute to deepen their understanding and cooperate with each other! Otherwise, I have to go through the formalities before I can invite you. It's better to choose the right date than to hit it. Dear leader, since
You have already come to our unit, how about you try out some of our latest concept guns? We really want to get feedback on the use of one of the most influential front-line generals in the military like you! These
The information is very useful to us. The good son-in-law of our institute must appreciate it!"
He talked a lot more, and before Kalki could express his position, he acquiesced in the other party's agreement, and took Kalki to the gun test room by holding the leader's strong shoulders in a cordial and affectionate manner. Kalki could only use
Blue eyes looked at Yerou slightly apologetically.
"Sorry... life is like the battlefield, accidents happen frequently."
"Yerou, come with us." The director had never been so polite and kind to her, so Yerou could only follow them with a blushing face.
The gun test room of the D378 Weapons Research Institute is as empty and huge as a snow cave.
There are several newly developed guns placed on the transparent suspension holder. These guns have not been approved for mass production and are still in the final stage of adjustment, but they are already very beautiful in appearance.
"This is the latest gun that we arranged for the group leader to test today. If you have any opinions, please be sure to give us feedback!"
Director Sango, Yerou and four researchers stood in the observation room with a glass screen, while Kalki stood to test the gun and conduct a live ammunition test.
He first picked up the smallest pistol. This gun had a rather round and cute appearance and did not look intimidating enough.
"This is the T-100 shaped energy crit gun, the latest improved version of the T-80. It is more energy efficient than the previous generation shaped energy pistol, with 20% more bullets, and the shooting range can reach more than 3,000 meters.
”
Director Sango's voice floated from above, enthusiastically introducing this gun.
Kalki skillfully pushed the flashing blue beam energy rod into the magazine above the gun, and then it automatically entered the gun chamber. The upper indicator showed that the beam energy was full.
"It's light and good. This is our little cotton-padded jacket for the battlefield!" Kalki said softly.
As soon as his right hand grasps the handle of the gun body, the wing-shaped handguards on both sides will automatically clamp tightly to protect his hands, so that the gun will not be released in fierce battles, and it is convenient to aim at the target, almost as easily as he stretches out his hand.
, you can shoot wildly at the enemy.
"That's right! There are still people who call themselves wives, but they are clamped tightly!" Director Sange smiled proudly, which made Yerou next to him blush instantly.
Kalki, wearing goggles with aiming indicators, stood in the empty white test gun room, and a burst of 3D simulation images of micro drones flew towards him from the end.
Usually target shooting is tested with drones, which is exactly the same as the Knights' target shooting practice. Because the lethality of drones in close combat is much greater than that of ordinary Gaia soldiers, the most life-consuming in close combat is actually the
Gaia's various drones and combat robots fight.
Kalki raised his gun and fired wildly at the group of drones. The drones simulating images fell to the ground at the speed of falling leaves.
Firearms in the space age no longer use gunpowder pressurized air pressure to push ammunition, so there will be no recoil to affect the aiming balance of the gun. Plato knights like Kalki who started to touch guns at the age of 5 can shoot accurately, quickly and steadily.
Amazing.
"Oh my god! The shooting speed is so fast! Shoot down 200 small drones so quickly?!"
Director Sango screamed softly in surprise, and several designers from the institute beside Ye Rou's voice were stunned in the observation room.
"Although we have professional gun testers, we can't produce such a murderous effect similar to actual combat..." A young researcher looked at the data on the screen and said almost in disbelief.
"Awesome! What a great general!" Sango exclaimed.
Yerou glanced at Sange from the side. The director was usually very harsh on designers, and often criticized them, grassroots designers, for their designs that did not meet the standards for use or production. It was basically difficult to hear a good word from him.
