The small starship has the typical characteristics of the military. Although it is not very comfortable, its speed is staggering. According to Hob Meat's estimation, it has reached a sub-light speed of 120,000 kilometers per second.
At such a high speed, even if it spans the entire central galaxy, it may not take 10 days. However, the distance the starship flies is much farther than Tang Lang imagined.
After flying in the vast starry sky for half a day, the small starship entered a small wormhole. When Tang Lang woke up from the life support system, Hobrou told Tang Lang based on the starry sky map positioning that they were already at the edge of the Kaiyang Galaxy in the southwest.
.Looking at the time, it only took 8 hours in total.
That was much faster than Tang Lang's previous trip from the southwest to the capital star. Tang Lang squinted slightly, which meant that the Southwest Federation had a secret wormhole that could quickly reach the border star system from the central star system, but perhaps the wormhole was smaller.
It can't pass through large starships, or it may have other unknown secrets.
Tang Lang didn't have much time to think about it. Within two hours, Tang Lang arrived at the first destination of his trip.
It's not a planet or an airport, but a civilian transport ship parked in the void. The 2,500-meter-long cigar-shaped transport ship is like a huge whale in the ocean. Most of the sidelights are turned off, and only a few sidelights are flickering.
A faint light reminded Tang Lang that this was not a "dead fish".
Compared with this behemoth, the hundred-meter-long small starship Tang Lang was in was just a tadpole looking for its mother.
When the starship came to a stop 20 kilometers away from the giant ship, on the screen, the tail of the cigar transport ship slowly opened a circular entrance with a radius of at least 40 meters, but obviously, that was not enough to swallow the entire tadpole.
There is a space-type landing craft on the small starship, which does not require manual operation at all. The whole process is completed by the brain. Tang Lang entered the cockpit. Through the transparent material, two officers who had not spoken suddenly raised their hands and saluted. Before Tang Lang could return the salute
, blue flames erupted from the tail of the landing craft, left the starship, and entered the transport ship a few minutes later.
The person who received Tang Lang was an unsmiling uncle with a full beard. He briefly greeted Tang Lang, without even saying his name, and directed the intelligent loading and unloading mecha to load the metal box containing Xiang Yu's mecha.
And drove Tang Lang to a cabin in a land vehicle. Xiang Yu's mecha was placed in the warehouse next to the cabin. Tang Lang's room had direct access to the warehouse, which gave Tang Lang some peace of mind. No matter what kind of
Condition, at least in this transport ship, he has the power to fight.
It was only then that a message reached Tang Lang's brain.
His mission this time is to become a liaison officer, delivering the goods loaded on the transport ship to the owner, and exchanging them for minerals needed by the federation. As a liaison officer, his main responsibility is not to deliver goods but to receive goods.
, according to the cargo list that came with the message, collect all the exchanged minerals and wait for the federal transport ship to transport them back to the country. The mission period is uncertain.
Tang Lang understood the underlying meaning. When all the minerals were collected, his mission would be over.
The only thing that puzzled Tang Lang was that Changsun Hong trusted him too much! He didn't even give him a helper, and just asked him to work as a liaison officer alone. After all, the location he wanted to go to was the Dark Star Territory.
, it is a place where it is difficult for the federal government to extend its hand.
He was alone and had to compete with a group of natives who had been living in a barren land for thousands of years. Even though Tang Lang was brave enough, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his crotch.
The only thing that made Tang Lang feel excited was that most of the minerals required for the painting formula that the white-haired uncle brought back were in the Dark Star Territory.
Perhaps, Chief Changsun specially sent him here with this intention in mind! Just by painting, without turning on the anti-metal detection system, it can completely block the opponent's metal detection radar. If it is used in special mecha combat, the war
The strength increased by at least 30%, which was a temptation that Tang Lang could not resist.
The message contained a self-destruct command. When Tang Lang finished reading it, except for the list of hundreds of minerals, all the mission information disappeared automatically, as if it had never appeared.
Then, Tang Lang heard a knock on the door.
As soon as he opened the door, the fat man's bitter face appeared in front of Tang Lang unexpectedly.
"Boss, you're here!" The fat man wailed with a bitter look on his face.
Tang Lang was sure that if he hadn't taken a step back quickly, that loser would have jumped into his arms and wiped his nose with his clothes.
"When did you arrive?" Tang Lang was not stupid enough to ask the fat man why he came.
Obviously, Fatty was the helper Chang Sunhong had prepared for him. Although the two of them were just as bad ass when they went to that damn place, they were still better than one person, and Fatty was still a good scumbag, both in terms of on-the-spot reaction and mecha control.
"I only arrived about half an hour earlier than you!" Fatty burst into tears. "As soon as I got on this ship, I knew that we two brothers had been cheated, very badly."
"Where do you think we will go?" Tang Lang said with some humor, patting the single bed in the cabin and motioning for him to sit down.
"We made it so mysterious and even boarded a transport ship. You know it's definitely not a good place to be in the back seat." The fat man shook his head in pain, "I even wondered if my cheap dad and uncle were here for this.
To take revenge on me, they planned to throw me into the stars and never return to the Federation. Later, I thought about it, they don’t have that much energy to control our academy."
"Eh! You're quite sharp." Tang Lang smiled softly: "We are going to the Dark Star Territory! We are responsible for contacting the arrival of goods and counting the exchanged goods."
"I'm just going to say it!" The fat man fully demonstrated with his wrinkled fat face what pain in the balls is. "You damn thing gave me the title of liaison adjutant. How many soldiers did I really think I could have under my command?"
!My dear, I am the youngest soldier."
"Who informed you to come?" Tang Lang asked.
"It's not that cheap of yours..." The fat man was just about to rant about a middle-aged and elderly man. He looked up at the cabin and shut up immediately. "He lied to me last night and said, boss, you are the liaison officer. I
I am the deputy, and after completing this task, I will receive a reward of 1,000 student points. I was confused and agreed."
"Don't be ridiculous, student points are nothing to you! Just tell me how you were fooled." Tang Lang was very good at analyzing people's psychology. As soon as he saw the fat man's eyes wandering, he knew that this guy was absolutely arrogant.
It's not true. With his extremely "cautious" personality, it shouldn't be too difficult to seduce him just by relying on student points.
"Ahem, he asked me if I wanted to go back to Taoism with my head held high. As a soldier, if you want to hold your head high, you must have a medal, right?" The fat man could only confide his heart, with a few tears in his eyes: "I don't care about Taoism.
But my mother is rare. As a son, I can't do anything else for her. No matter how difficult it is, I have to earn this medal for her."
"It's just that I didn't expect that old guy to trick us two brothers like this! Brother Lang, do you think he wanted to break up you and Academician Changsun? He thought for a long time before he came up with such a vicious plan, and planned to kill us two brothers at once.
No one will seek revenge from him in the future?" The fat man who was willing to do anything impassioned for his mother one moment, revealed his true nature in the next second, and Tang Lang couldn't laugh or cry at what he said.
As the top commander of the federal army, if Chang Sun Hong wanted to recruit two military cadets, why would he need to go to the border? With the intensity of the border friction between the two countries, unless Tang Lang had the ability to directly pursue Yan Chilie
potential, otherwise, based on the probability of "how can one walk by the river without wet shoes", Tang Lang may have a hard time surviving until the war actually begins. Not to mention the fat man who is habitually speaking out loud, a charge of passive resistance may
He can be rectified on the spot without having to go through the military area.
What's more, Changsun Hong may be able to let go of Tang Lang, the winner of the Victory Medal, but he doesn't necessarily have to bury him with the expensive Xiang Yu mecha. An ordinary Ming warrior is enough!
After Fatty explained in detail, it turned out that as early as 10 o'clock last night, he received a notice from Zhang Henshui, the college management committee, and went to the college's encrypted conference room. In the three-dimensional projection state, Changsun Hong used the promise of a third-class "fearless" medal and
The task of being Tang Lang's partner caused all of Fatty's defenses to collapse. He didn't even have time to pack his clothes, and he was sent by a rotorcraft into a starship for emergency liftoff and arrived here.
The Ming Warrior mecha specially assigned to him may also be one of the reasons why Fatty came here. Changsun Hong promised him that he could modify the mecha without reporting it to any unit.
Just as the two were communicating, the engine of the transport ship they were riding on started. In less than ten minutes, it accelerated to a speed of 70,000 kilometers per second. Judging from the engine power alone, it was far higher than that of ordinary civilian transport ships.
It was a modified military transport ship. Based on the information that Ho Dao Rou continued to collect, Tang Lang's heart became more and more stable. Although this "civilian transport ship" was definitely camouflaged in appearance, many turrets were removed.
As long as it does not encounter a main starship such as a cruiser, it is still capable of fighting. Moreover, it is equipped with a powerful engine similar to that of the Lee Signal transport ship, which also ensures its strong maneuverability, so it is no problem to escape.
In other words, Tang Lang at least doesn't have to worry about turning his strength into dust in space before he uses it. Chief Changsun Hong is still reliable in this regard.
If Tang Lang hadn't been too close to the eldest son, Sun Xueqing, he wouldn't have had to worry about the malicious speculation that "the Chief of Military Affairs wanted to plot against him." How can I put it this way? Perhaps the desire to become the son-in-law of the Chief of Military Affairs was just a matter of course.
Double-edged sword!
No matter how painful it was, Fatty finally accepted the fact that he had to rush to the hellish place called Dark Star Territory. So, he plunged into his mecha's warehouse and was busy modifying his mecha. On the way to the border, he
He made a list of what he needed, and the transport ship had already prepared it for him.
After two hours of continuous sailing, the transport ship made an active jump, and the four escorting starships and transport ships together spent energy to open up an artificial wormhole.
When I jumped out of the space channel again, all I could see was a dark area with rugged rocks and various types of interstellar media. The light emitted by the stars seemed to be blocked here.
The transport ship, like a fish entering the deep sea, quickly slowed down and moved forward cautiously in the endless meteorite zone.
Blue beams of light erupted from time to time, shattering the huge meteorites in front of them and rushing towards the transport ship, but there were still meteorites that hit hard on the transport ship's hard shell, making a heart-stopping muffled sound.
Tang Lang, who leaned against the porthole and looked out, knew that the long-famous Dark Star Territory had arrived.
This wretched place is definitely not for humans.
However, he seems to have a friend here. I wonder if there is a chance to meet him.
