Compared to the chaos in the universe, the Phoenix is currently relatively calm.
Occasionally, Qiu Ruge would go to places on the Phoenix where people gathered under the light screen, such as restaurants, reception rooms, and entertainment rooms, and see Mingyue Shang bringing funds and reconstruction plans to places affected by the war.
Perhaps for those people, it brings more hope.
Since then, Qiu Ruge's look at Mingyue Shang has become much softer.
Sometimes when Mingyue Shang returns to the ship, it is already evening. Space time and land time are unified, and day and night time systems are also implemented in space. Passing by the maintenance cabin, you can often see Qiu Ruge's slender figure in the cabin.
In front of the ladder, negotiate with some technicians.
Across the glass in the corridor, Mingyue Shang sometimes looked at this woman who seemed to be in two different worlds from her, but who had crossed paths because of Tang Lang.
On this day, Mingyue Shang did not fall asleep early in the room with a porthole that could see the planet. Instead, she made two cups of coffee and came to the maintenance cabin. Seeing her entering, the technicians inside were stunned at first, and then hurriedly dispersed.
After leaving, they all piled up outside the cabin door, pricking their ears to hear the movements of the two female lieutenants inside.
Qiu Ruge obviously didn't expect Mingyue Shang to walk in, and when she saw the two cups of brown drinks that she brought in that were still steaming, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Do you dare to drink it?" Mingyue Shang handed out one of the cups of coffee in her hand. This was a drink from the ancient Blue Star thousands of years ago. However, after arriving in the starry sky, perhaps the coffee bean seeds mutated, although it can refresh you.
It tastes very bitter, especially the higher the concentration, the harder it is to drink. Therefore, it has long been eliminated by the upper class society. On the contrary, ordinary people are more willing to accept this kind of refreshing drink with a very affordable price.
Qiu Ruge raised her eyebrows. She took off her gloves, stretched out her white and tender hands with the cuffs still rolled up, took the drink from Mingyue Shang, drank it all in one gulp, smiled slightly on her face under her flaxen hair, and picked it up from the ladder next to her.
The cup on the shelf was a rough alloy cup with a metallic style. He passed it to Mingyue Shang, and after making a small "chi" sound on his lips, he said, "You can try what I usually drink."
When Ming Yueshang frowned and took Qiu Ruge's cup and took a sip, she found that the heavy alloy cup actually contained coffee with a higher concentration than the one she brewed, without any additional additions, and a bitter charcoal taste.
It’s hard to imagine that a woman like Qiu Ruge, who has a girl-next-door temperament, would often use such a drink. So she also raised her eyebrows, “There are very few girls who like to drink cool beans like this. Sixty percent sugar cubes are not added.
, such a drink is generally difficult for many grown men to accept?"
Qiu Ruge had enough time to stare at Mingyue Shang, "You are one of them."
Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same preferences.
Those who were listening outside the cabin door did not expect that such commonality would break some of the barriers between the two.
But, maybe this is the calm before the storm?
Coming under the alloy legs of Xiang Yu's mecha that Qiu Ruge was adjusting, Mingyue Shang gently patted the thick armor on the mechanical legs, looked up at the mecha, and said, "Some people say it is a combination of devil and angel.
, is a masterpiece in the history of human war, the most extreme expansion of man's own freedom, and like a starship, it is the wings of voyage and conquest. In fact, I also have the dream of driving it to the end of the galaxy."
"It is indeed beautiful, but when the wrong people master and use this power on a large scale, this is the source of pain." Qiu Ruge leaned on a mecha, "But you are also fighting! Just in a different way.
.”
"Are you referring to this condolence event?" Mingyue Shang looked through the window at the Pegasus below and shook her head gently. "Condolences are, after all, just a way to make up for the endless trauma that the war has caused to people, whether it is spiritual or material.
At all levels, we can only try our best to make up for it, but in the end, it is just a kind of compensation, rather than eliminating these invisible things before the harm comes."
"The only ones who can do this are soldiers. Before the enemy's blade reaches the hearts of our people, they use their own bodies, their own mechas, and their battleships to block the front." Mingyue Shang said brightly.
A hint of indignation appeared on his face. "But this time, the federal army on the front line was doing this, but it was unable to withstand the knife handed out by some people behind them, allowing the enemy hiding in the darkness to stab their own people hard.
, and that is just to achieve their despicable purpose."
"Those people will definitely be brought to court." Qiu Ruge picked up the cup that Mingyue Shang handed her and touched it lightly with the alloy cup in her hand. "And you and I are working hard for this.
Isn’t it?”
Mingyue Shang still frowned slightly, "Yes! For the future of the Federation, Admiral Zhou Tai, Tang Lang, you and I, and countless federal officers and soldiers are working hard. However, the current situation is still not good for us.
In order to prevent our federation's main fleet from returning, the Jiepen people invested more fleets and mecha units before I came, dragging the seven main fleets to the front line, and the federation still couldn't free up enough in the short term.
use the strength to annihilate this mercenary army. Moreover, who knows that this is not the strategy of the Great Eagle to lure the enemy. They want to launch a surprise attack on my empty federation. So far, how many fleets have the Great Eagle assembled?
We have no idea how many powerful enemies are peeping in the dark. The only thing we can hope for is to follow the two commanders, General Zhou Tai and Major General Tang Lang, and strive for a miraculous victory."
Qiu Ruge looked at the occasional meteor-like trajectories in the universe outside the window, and knew that they were actually the detection ships of the 9th Fleet wandering in the void. Admiral Zhou Tai was indeed a commander known for his stability, although he was
The probability is that the opponent will not launch a surprise attack on Pegasus, but the detection ship of the 9th Fleet has been paying attention to them somewhere in the void, while the 9th Fleet is hiding in the void further away. Once the Black Hawk Company appears
As for the whereabouts of the mercenary fleet, they will arrive at full speed and will not give the mercenaries any more opportunities.
Of course, the premise is that the Phoenix can have enough time to escape, which is probably what the officers and commanders of the 9th Fleet are most worried about. They are afraid that the cruise ship Phoenix will not be able to survive until the main fleet arrives.
But how do they know that due to the modification of the energy engine, the Phoenix can reach a high speed of 100,000 kilometers per second, and the energy shield alone can reach the thirteenth level of the Korean signal, and it will be broken again after being broken?
The recharging time is only 60 seconds. In terms of single ship performance, it is definitely superior to any battleship in the 9th Fleet.
Otherwise, how could there be no objection from the other senior officials of the independent fleet to the matter of letting Tang Lang, the fleet commander, be used as a bait, apart from the previous objections raised by her technical officer? That was all because of their strength.
In addition to the combat effectiveness of the starship itself, there are a total of five senior mecha masters on board the Phoenix, including Tang Lang. Not to mention the bunch of scumbag mercenaries, as long as the mecha war god doesn't appear, it's Jie Pen's.
Miyamoto, the flower of the famous general, has just arrived, and he can also turn him into a flower.
It seems that the beautiful girl in front of me is also a high-level mecha master! Anyone who despises her may have to pay a sufficient price.
Qiu Ruge looked at the female lieutenant who was gently stroking the mecha armor with endless desire to fight, "I heard that you and Brother Tang Lang have known each other for a long time. It should be for this reason that you chose our Phoenix!"
Hearing Qiu Ruge's sudden change of topic, Mingyue Shang smiled faintly, "If I say it's not because of this, you won't believe it. But to be honest, this reason does occupy a large part. It is because of our acquaintance that I am better than anyone else."
Make it clear that if you encounter danger, he is the most trustworthy person."
"Perhaps you feel the same about this! Or, you know him better than me, the senior sister. I heard that you are his right-hand man!"
Facing Mingyue Shang's bright eyes that were obviously a bit playful and looking for some secrets, Qiu Ruge fell silent instead. After a moment, she said, "I'm not like you. I'm from a wealthy family and the daughter of the head of the federal government. I'm just a young girl."
I am an orphan without my parents. I didn’t even know that I had a biological uncle until a month ago. I have also experienced the hardships of life, and I have also been tired and disgusted with society. The federal care for me is actually quite good.
Yes, at least I was guaranteed to have a living allowance that was enough to make ends meet before I turned 18, but I still hated the corruption and power hidden in the darkness, so I worked extremely hard, hoping that I would no longer be afraid of these filthiness, but
That afternoon, facing the extremely shameless power, I still despaired. Fortunately, Brother Tang Lang appeared, and I understood a lot of things."
"Huh?" The bright slits in Mingyue Shang's eyes widened a lot.
"Fate is actually fair to everyone. Brother Tang Lang looks very glamorous now. He is the recipient of the Victory Medal and has the rank of major general. He commands a fleet with strong combat effectiveness and is a hero admired by all women in the Federation. However,
How many people would notice how he obtained these? They didn't see how he fought with the Jiepen people on Lafite Planet. Any small mistake would make him doomed. His enemies on Lafite Planet
Incomparably powerful, he still chose to fight, and finally persisted until the moment reinforcements arrived.
I'm afraid, the moment he chose to be fearless and uncompromising, he never thought that he would survive and be blessed with so much glory." Qiu Ruge's voice echoed among the numerous mechas.
“So, whether it’s our Southwest Federation or a tiny speck of dust like me, as long as we don’t give up, don’t give in, and follow the path I want to take, no matter whether it’s successful or not, at least we won’t regret our actions.
, right? Just like Brother Tang Lang said, a country must need some people who will not retreat, you and I can be considered this type!"
Appreciation surged on Mingyue Shang's face. Looking at this female captain who was as pale as a daisy and like the girl next door, she was silent for a long time, and then nodded solemnly, "I understand!"
Then he raised the alloy cup in his hand and said "Cheers for not retreating!"
Qiu Ruge raised her glass and touched it gently, "Cheers for not retreating!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and all previous barriers disappeared.
For the two women at this time, perhaps they were both women and had different identities and roles, but the reasons for putting on this military uniform and risking their lives to join this war were the same.
This, perhaps, is the legendary like-minded one!
Watching the two women walk out of the maintenance cabin hand in hand with smiles on their faces, their glasses were shattered outside.
Du Moni, who was sitting in front of the porthole in the starship restaurant and staring at the fat man with big eyes and small eyes, stared at the fat man, "Tell me, what have you and Tang Lang been doing these past few months?"
"This is a military secret!" The fat man said with a grimace.
"Then what happened to Angie?"
"That's a military secret too!"
"Where is Qiu Ruge?"
"Then..." the fat man replied casually.
Then, Qiu Ruge and Mingyue Shang were seen walking into the restaurant together behind Tang Lang.
"It seems we can decrypt it now." The fat man's chin almost dropped.
The fat man's mind was in turmoil as the long-legged girl stretched out his hand and grabbed him wildly. He couldn't understand why the same person had different fates. He couldn't even figure out this tigress alone.
