In the former High Angel Legion, those who had the highest relationship with Su Yao were Taosawa Mingchi, Zhong Chuqi and Tuoba Hu.
Of these three people, one has played with Su Yao since they were young, so it goes without saying that they have a close relationship. However, when Zhong Chuqi and Tuoba Hu met Su Yao for the first time, neither of them bothered to look at each other.
I don’t know if some people are born with conflicts. In short, Su Yao had a lot of conflicts with Zhong Chuqi and Tuoba Hu. But there is an old saying that goes well, if you don’t fight, you won’t get to know each other. After fighting with Zhong Chuqi and Tuoba Hu in the martial arts field,
After several fights, Su Yao finally convinced her with her fists and stunned the two of them.
So when the High Angel Legion was established in the later period, Zhong Chuqi and Tuoba Hu came directly to the door and offered to be Su Yao's subordinates. At that time, Su Yao was just an inconspicuous soldier in the High Angel Legion.
Later, after several major battles, Su Yao, who had outstanding military exploits, was promoted to sergeant major. Zhong Chuqi, Tuoba Hu, and Taosawa Mingchi were all recruited under his command. These four became what was later known as the High Angel Legion.
The "Four Heavenly Kings" most valued by Supreme Commander Fang Tianzhi.
In the army, those who know about the High Angel Legion must also know about the "Four Heavenly Kings", but few know that Zhong Chuqi actually wanted to be an ordinary person on Earth before he was forced by his father to join the army.
A painter spent his whole life. Even Su Yao accidentally heard Zhong Chuqi mention it when he was drinking together.
At that time, Zhong Chuqi seemed to have just had a big quarrel with his father. In addition, the battle situation was changing rapidly, and the originally overwhelming battle fell into a stalemate. Zhong Chuqi was in a very bad mood.
Su Yao saw that her little brother was unhappy, so she secretly took him out to drink.
Both of them changed into casual clothes, and their bodies were restrained as much as possible to look like ordinary people.
They randomly found a bar with a barbecue, and the two of them went in and each ordered a bucket of beer, some skewers and cold dishes, and started drinking.
After each drank half a bucket of wine, the conversation started.
"Brother Yao, sometimes I really envy you."
Su Yao was here to relieve Zhong Chuqi's mood, so she changed her usual serious look and said with a smile, "Why do you envy me?"
Zhong Chuqi thought for a while and then counted on his fingers and said, "Look, first of all, you had a lot of admirers when you were in school. When you get to the High Angel Legion, there are still girls who follow you wholeheartedly. Isn't this enviable?"
"
Su Yao didn't speak, just smiled and took a sip of wine.
"Secondly, you are the eldest son of the Su family. Originally, the Su family has a big business and must have a backbone to carry it. But you wanted to be a soldier, and Uncle Su actually didn't stop you, so he actually asked you to come.
"It's not like me. My father has the same temper as my grandfather. He has taken care of me since I was a child and arranged for me clearly. He doesn't care about what I want to do. Tell me, can you not make me envious of this?"
Su Yao raised her eyebrows, laughing secretly in her heart that she had found the crux.
He asked calmly, "You don't want to be a soldier?"
Zhong Chuqi was drinking. After taking a look at Su Yao, he put down his glass and hesitated for a while and said, "Why don't you think about it?"
Su Yao shook her head, "I have heard of the legend of Uncle Zhong and Mr. Zhong, especially your grandfather Zhong Huaxin. He was just an ordinary worker back then. He followed Huasheng Fengmao's Xingyi Heavy Industry to develop new mines all over the solar system. I heard that
The hard bone of Saturn was chewed down by warriors like your grandfather Zhong Huaxin."
Mentioning his grandfather Zhong Huaxin, Zhong Chuqi's face immediately became a little prouder. He smiled and said, "Ang is not someone who is risking his life. Although I have never experienced it, when I was a child, I loved listening to my grandfather telling me that they were on Saturn.
After an emergency landing, more than 2,000 people, with no way out, dug a thousand meters down to find traces of the mesozoic element. When support arrived, less than one in ten people survived, and most of them had already suffered a mental breakdown.
Only my grandfather and Grandpa Zhu Ran Zhu guarded the mine, so my grandfather later became the manager of Xingyi Heavy Industry's Saturn Mine. This matter is written in the textbooks."
Su Yao nodded slightly.
When humans started their interstellar expansion plan, the first thing they had to solve was the exploration of mines.
The "medium" as the "stabilizer" for star field transitions has become the key. This magical substance can ensure the stability of starships when they transition within different star field coordinates.
and accurate, it can be called the "combustion accelerant" of interstellar navigation. However, the initial synthesis technology of "Mesotopes" is very expensive. Basically, most of the benefits brought by an interstellar jump have to be invested in the synthesis of "Mesotopes"
, so some people say that the pioneering of interstellar civilization has become a joke surrounding the consumption and synthesis of "medium".
But when adventurous scientists, with the help of a group of prospectors who had signed life and death certificates, discovered that there were large amounts of "mediates" deep in Saturn, those who said sarcastic words also rushed to join the Saturn mines.
The mining "war" came. Xingyi Heavy Industry Group, a subsidiary of Huasheng Fengmao, where Zhong Chuqi's grandfather Zhong Huaxin worked at that time, was a new force in the mining of the Saturn mine. But the mining of the Saturn mine was a war without smoke.
The enemy that humans have to face here is not other competitors, but Saturn's natural planetary ecological environment.
Although Saturn's atmosphere is very calm most of the time, Saturn's atmosphere was once very similar to Jupiter. Extending from the bottom to about ten kilometers high, there is a "frozen layer" composed of water and ice, with a temperature of about minus zero.
About twenty-three degrees Celsius. After this, there is also a layer of sulfurized hydrogen-ammonia ice that extends for another fifty kilometers, and the temperature is about minus ninety degrees Celsius.
At around 150 degrees Celsius, there are 80 kilometers of ammonia ice clouds above this, with a temperature of about minus 153 degrees Celsius. Near the top, you can see the top of the clouds at 200-270 kilometers above the clouds, where there are several layers of hydrogen.
and ammonia.
After passing through the atmosphere, the pioneers will also face the highest wind speed in the solar system. On this planet, the east wind can sometimes reach a maximum of 500 meters per second, and the wind speed is close to 1,800 kilometers per hour. At this time, any aircraft
They will all transform into broken kites in this wild ecological environment.
In addition, Saturn's magnetic field and Saturn's storms are also major features.
If Jupiter is compared to the eighteenth level of hell, then Saturn can at least be evaluated as the eighteenth level of hell.
Zhong Chuqi's grandfather, Zhong Huaxin, entered Saturn on an exploration lander that later generations called the "Death Knell." After penetrating the atmosphere, it fell from the sky with its own weight, and dug down to explore wherever it landed.
Without logistical supplies, no one will come to take them home for at least three years.
In this way, batch after batch of warriors were dropped on Saturn.
In the end, it took nearly half a century and at the expense of 39,000 people to finally build the Saturn "Medium" mine.
Nowadays, humans have built their own dome city on Saturn, and some bold prodigals have even taken up private jobs and rushed to find new mines in unexplored areas that humans have not yet set foot on. But when everyone mentions Saturn, they mention what they were doing in the past.
Everyone will be in awe of those who sacrificed their lives to realize the dream of pioneering human interstellar civilization.
But there may be exceptions.
Just like Zhong Chuqi now.
After Zhong Huaxin became the first manager of the Saturn Median Mine, he had already arranged their children's lives. For example, Zhong Chuqi's father, Zhong Mingyuan, was trained since he was a child so that the Zhong family could have their own mine.
Zhong Mingyuan lived up to his father's expectations. Not only did he spend ten years to get Saturn's three existing mesothene factories out of the control of Xingyi Heavy Industry, but he also established his own business and built three other mines, becoming a veritable "
The "Mesotope" tycoon. Before Solar System 1, this was almost equivalent to controlling the veins of all political structures in the entire solar system.
Nowadays, the Zhong family's industry has been put under the unified management of the Yaxing Republic.
In name, the Zhong family is still the manager, but internally it has been nationalized by the Yaxing Republic. Some large mines have even implemented comprehensive military supervision.
Zhong Mingyuan was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but he could only accept the reality.
However, Zhong Chuqi was forcibly sent to join the army by Zhong Mingyuan, and even accepted a human upgrade and transformation that he did not want at all, and became a Type III super soldier. Zhong Chuqi still complained about his father.
"A son must be filial. I have heard this countless times since I was born. Of course I have no objection to it, but I am also a living person. I also have my own thoughts and feelings. You asked me to be a soldier.
, I did it, and I did a good job, but now they told me that when the war is over, I must go back and take over the Zhong family's industry, and asked me to be the boss.
