Chapter 9： All the good stuff for you

The whole black code name Zero is hidden in the tall trees, overlooking the crowd outside the forest.

Blair took a tube of mango-flavored nutrient and ate it slowly. The taste of the nutrient was similar to overcooked rice porridge. In order to increase the taste, he would add granules that were not completely broken. Muddy water.

"Wow, what kind of guy with an underdeveloped brain came up with this taste. It's obvious that the meat is turned into the taste of mango, and his sense of taste is disabled." Blair spit out the straw in disgust, and lowered his head to look at the food. The box did not have a normal taste, so disappointed.

"Oh my God, what kind of brains are those foodies, why are they vying to make fruit-flavored meat." Blair sadly found that the mango-flavored nutritional supplement turned out to be the most acceptable flavor for him, as for the brick-like Compressed cookies, there is no desire to eat.

Lying weakly in his seat, Blair said feebly, "I'm going to starve to death on nutritional supplements. Auston, you should talk to the logistics staff and get some normal-flavored nutritional supplements."

"This batch was distributed directly from above."

Blair snorted twice, "It must be someone who is related to find the way, the military's military supplies procurement is the bargaining chip in their basket."

"Blair, you said you want to conduct a field trip to U167." Auston ignored Blair's complaints.

Blair held up the e-book to cover his face. "I haven't found anything worth going down and looking at."

Auston smiled helplessly, and continued to look in the direction Ryan and the others were. All unexplored planets in the area where he is stationed belong to the property of the Golden Crusade. By exploring these unknown planets, discovering useful things, evaluating the value of the planets, you can consider whether to list the planets for sale.

This is the result of the game between the army and the Imperial House of Representatives.

The military expenditure given by the House of Representatives is far less than the military expenditure. After many communications, threats, inducements, and protests, the current result has been achieved.

After the newly discovered planet is listed for sale, the army will hand over 20% of the income to the country, and the rest will be owned by the army, which can be said to be a huge profit. Therefore, what the legions, including the Golden Crusade, like to do while patrolling the border, is to explore unknown planets and find things of value.

"What is your little man doing?" Blair, who had eaten a few mouthfuls of mango-flavored meat puree nutritional supplements, was suspicious of his life and found that Ryan on the ground made an unusual move. The man brought a portable stove and was cooking Noodle? !

"Auston, let's go down, I've found something to study." Blair pushed up his glasses, raised the corners of his mouth and showed an interesting smile.

Auston looked at him without objection, "Okay."

Noon is lunch time. Super soldiers are not made of iron and steel. They only need batteries to live. They need to rest and eat. On the open flat ground 500 meters away from the forest, Diocletian signaled everyone to rest. Everyone worked together to clean up a camp, sat down and prepared to drink some water and nutrients. There was forty minutes of rest time.

Harriet took a tube of peach-flavored nutritional supplements. The ingredients package clearly stated that there were fish, chicken, and various vegetables in it. Calories...fat...carbohydrate...protein...nutritious and full of calories, one tube can be It is a must-have choice for travel away from home.

Looking at it with disgust, then another look, Harriet reluctantly put it into her mouth.

"Every time I go on a mission, I miss the restaurant on the ship. The flavored dried shark made by old Bob is also delicious compared to the nutritional supplements."

"Forget it, compared to the smelly dried shark, I'd better eat compressed dry food." The bearded Eugene tore open a package of compressed dry food with his teeth, revealing the brown dry food that was shiny but hard as a stone. If you bite directly with your teeth, you should suspect that your teeth will fall out. "I think old Bob is a good cook if he doesn't make dried sharks. His roast lamb is really delicious."

"It's delicious and the ingredients are very fragrant. I like the crispy shell of the roast lamb the most. It's crunchy and oily. The layer of sesame sprinkled on it will make a sound when you bite it." Harriet swallowed a mouthful of water, the tip of her nose seemed to smell it. When it comes to the aroma of roast lamb, "I lick my fingers after eating, it's all aroma. By the way, lamb trotters are also delicious. The meat in the foot ring is my favorite."

"Gudong."

Everyone could not help swallowing saliva.

It makes the nutrients and compressed dry food in the hand even more unpalatable.

Lane in the corner didn't hear what they were saying, he was thinking about what to eat for lunch, whether it was noodles or rice, or wontons would be good too.

Lane took off his backpack, took out a folding stove, and opened it up to be a pot for marching. The pot was made of solid fuel found on a certain planet. A large piece of grapes can last for three days. How to use it It is also very simple and safe. It can burn when exposed to oxygen, and it can be extinguished when isolated from oxygen, and its properties are stable.

Ryan poured a bottle of water into the pot, opened the valve at the bottom of the stove, air entered, and a small piece of black fuel suddenly appeared in a fire, with amazing heat.

The fire tongue licked the bottom of the pot, and small bubbles began to appear in the water, the bubbles began to grow, and gradually the pure water began to boil. Ryan put the noodles in, along with dehydrated vegetables. After the pot comes out, just put the meat sauce he made in advance and mix it, it will be a very delicious mixed noodles.

Ryan suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the silence around him. He looked around quickly and saw a group of people looking at him eagerly, and some saliva was about to fall. As a half-fighter, Ryan knew vigilance and did a good job. His intuition was always accurate, and there was no danger nearby, so he didn't draw his weapon.

Harriet currently has the best relationship with Ryan, so she rubs up against him and asks, "What are you doing?"

"Mixed noodles." Ryan motioned for everyone to look.

Dehydrated vegetables can't compare to fresh, but don't worry too much about the nutrient loss during the task. When exposed to water, the dehydrated vegetables begin to fill with water and stretch out. There are zucchini slices, tomatoes, lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, cabbage and diced carrots. This kind of dehydrated vegetables is sold separately in the kitchen, and the variety is very complete. Ryan bought the one he liked.

Seeing that the noodles were almost done, everyone didn't express any further except to ask a question. Lane took everyone's eyes and fished the cooked noodles into the bowl, leaving no vegetable in the soup. Putting down the bowl, Ryan took out a packet of meat sauce from the bag under all the attention, and threw it directly into the bowl. Under the action of heat, the outer layer similar to the plastic packaging melted naturally, and the aroma of the meat sauce was unreserved. It radiated out and entered everyone's nasal cavity.

"It smells good," Harriet murmured.

Eugene: "It must be delicious."

Captain Derrick, "It's better than compressed dry food and better than nutritional supplements."

Suddenly, Derrick shouted, "Sgt. Smith."

Ryan put down the bowl, stood up and waited for the order, "Yes."

"Sergeant, we are on a mission, not a picnic. Who is allowed to come with stoves and food."

"Report Colonel, Chapter 5, Ground Operations of the Military Code, Article 36, Article 12 stipulates that the food carried by soldiers during their exploration of unknown planets on the ground includes but is not limited to nutritional supplements and compressed dry food. The appendix clarifies that uniforms can be carried. One standard stove and some food are provided to facilitate the improvement of rations during ground operations and to ensure the physical and mental health of soldiers."

Derrick paused for a while, and quickly opened the personal terminal to open the military code stored in it. He found that there were such regulations, and the appendix at the end of the article clearly stipulated what the portable stove system should look like, and the food to be carried is not. What can be, such as no odor, no bone spurs, no hindrance to others, etc.

Others were also checking, and Jimmy Lei shouted in surprise. The little soldier who was only in the second phase was so stunned and startled, "He actually memorized the military code, God."

The old soldiers looked at each other in dismay. The military code has more than 5,000 pages, 13 categories, and tens of thousands of regulations, covering all aspects of the soldiers' combat life. I can even take exams, but now it's getting more and more loose, and gradually I only need to know a general idea.

"Brilliant." Eugene looked at the display on his personal terminal, then looked at Ryan, and sighed in admiration.

Captain Derrick coughed lightly, and glanced at Ryan's backpack inadvertently, "Sergeant, what other food did you bring?"

"There are also rice, wontons, ham, etc., which are my personal dry food for the five-day ground operation."

In this operation, each team has four days of exploration time. Just in case, Ryan has prepared an extra day of dry food.

"Sergeant, it's all done."

It was not what Derrick said, nor what other people in the team said, although this was their heartfelt voice. Unfamiliar voice, everyone looked over to the place where the voice came from, and saw the black mecha moving from far to near. After landing, the cockpit opened. General Dalton came out first, and several beautiful and wonderful vertical jumps reached the ground. Then the talent who just spoke looked a little embarrassed and landed with the help of the code-named Zero AI.

It was a young man in a white coat, looking very abstinent.

"General." Everyone has it, standing at attention and salute. "Colonel."

Auston returned the salute, "Hello everyone."

Blair is not so particular. As a colonel, he is not a system with ordinary soldiers. After simply returning the salute, he turned his attention to the noodles that Ryan hadn't had time to eat, and there were already lumps of noodles, "What is that?"

Ryan replied, "Colonel, that's bolognese."

"Show me." The pale palm stretched out, as if with the taste of the end.

Ryan didn't go to see Auston on purpose, and brought the noodles to Blair's hands. Blair smelled the noodles, smiled at Auston inexplicably, and said, "It's delicious, Sergeant, now for you. An opportunity to help your comrades, make all the food in your backpack for everyone to taste."

Others in the team made eye contact, and felt that it was not very good to eat the rations that Ryan carefully prepared.

Ryan didn't hesitate, "Yes, Colonel."

Five days of dry food for one person will definitely not meet the needs of the thirteen people present, so Ryan tries to make sure that everyone has a share. Don't worry about not having so many tableware, teammates have water bottles with them, and they can be used as bowls after modification. No chopsticks, knife and fork? Also don't worry, they will get along for the sake of food.

Auston sat on the rock and looked at the personal terminal. As the leader of the bottom warriors, he would only fear him, fear him, and stay far away from him. On the other hand, Blair had already mixed into the team and tasted all kinds of food. Auston is used to it. He only integrates into it when he is fighting and training with the mecha players.

A bowl was brought to the front.

Auston looked up, followed the hand holding Wo, and saw Ryan's gentle face.

Ryan blinked at Auston, "General, please have a meal."

Auston couldn't help but soften his heart, "Thank you, Sergeant Ryan."

Lane lowered his voice and said, "The beef soup I made contains sliced ​​beef, quick-soaked vermicelli, shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, dehydrated vegetables, and an egg."

The rice soaked is made of rice that Ryan has cooked in advance. It is packaged and the air is evacuated. When cooking, it can be put into the water directly. The rice is soft and grainy, and the soup is full. Lane also carefully brought the vacuum-packed thick soup cubes, the only one, and made it into rice, and the vacuum-packed egg after frying was also the only one.

Ryan gave Auston all the good stuff.

"what did you eat?"

Lane said, "I've already eaten that bowl of noodles just now, and I'm very full." Lane won't waste the bowl of noodles, he solved it by himself.

"You too," said Auston embarrassedly, his first time doing it, showing intimacy where there were other people.

Ryan was inspired, and his heart was filled with joy, which was better than eating a big meal. However, the relationship between the two of them is still a secret. Before Auston is not ready to announce it, he will pay attention to his balance.

Blair, who was running around, suddenly appeared, "Oh, the treatment of generals is just different."
