Chapter 43: Avenue of Dawn

hum...

hum...

hum...

The sound of the energy block moving is a bit strange, but everyone is used to the existence of this sound.

In Auston's office, in front of the bookshelf that occupied an entire wall, stood a small mecha 65 centimeters high. Behind the small mecha was dragging an energy block that was about the same height as him. The energy block was different in size. To a cube of 1 cubic meter, except the side that touches the ground is silver metal, the other sides are crystal-like dark blue, emitting a blue halo smoothly, which is a sign that this energy block is running.

There is no standing energy block for small mechs on the ship, and it can only use the large one for the original use, and there is a picture of him dragging the energy block to walk around.

Yuan Chu moved a few steps, and the energy block connected behind him flicked with a thud. The faster Yuan Chu moves, the faster the energy block moves. It looks like a little blue monster chasing Yuan Chu, but Yuan Chu can't get rid of it. Coupled with Yuan Chu's calm and calm performance, it looks a little bit like Funny and hilarious.

Auston has read all the books on the bookshelf. He has covered a wide range of books. He will have some books here. There are also two books on the bookshelf of Ryan's cousin Connor. They are 90% new. Shelved on the shelf, love books are obviously not to Auston's taste.

The original finger moved, skipping the few novels that I had read, and then landed on a book "Interstellar Quest - No Use Manual, Just Read It", took out the book and put it in the palm of the hand and quickly flipped through it, but it was only two. A book of 500 pages was read to the end in three minutes, and the way of looking at the flowers made the vice-captain who was discussing the ship's affairs with Auston frowned. He didn't like the big toy's contemptuous attitude towards books. .

He sat down for less than half an hour, and the little mecha had already picked through the entire row of books on the bookshelf. In the view of the deputy captain, this was just a playful side of the little mecha setting program. His son has such a big toy in the shape of a mecha. He often does some inexplicable things, such as digging holes, digging soil, and hanging on the door frame. The manual says that the companion robot will imitate the owner's behavior. It's absurd, his son wouldn't do such pointless things, like a general who always takes books seriously.

The original eyes in front of the bookshelf flickered a few times, and he read a few boring books that added complicated data to the system. The ability of human beings to create useless information is no different from that of 700 years ago!

However, reading these boring books can improve my understanding of human beings and understand what is going on in the complex brain, so I was willing to waste precious half an hour to read a row. After reading it, he sat next to the bookshelf and started to absorb a lot of knowledge. The knowledge was updated too fast. Compared with a few hundred years ago, it was turned upside down. He liked the feeling of wandering in it.

By the way, you can play "cats" :).

Once again, Daifuku, who escaped from the palm of Ryan's hand, slammed into the general's office and became a little doll of Yuan Chu's subordinates. Dafu licked his paws pitifully, feeling that the lanugo was about to be bald, and it would become the world's first bald griffin orz.

Almost everyone on the mutated griffin ship knew that Ryan brought it back from B612, and many people saw it the day he brought it back. The little beast is afraid of the gentle Ryan, but likes to stick to the stern general. It has also become a topic of discussion for many people. Some people say that the intuition of the little animal is the most accurate. It knows that Ryan is a black belly, so it is afraid. Some people also said that the general and Ryan were semi-public.

semi-public...

The deputy captain retracted his gaze, swiped the document on the light screen and said, "We will arrive at Dawn Avenue in a few days. This is the first time an army has passed since the Battle of Dawn has passed for 700 years. What specifications does the general plan to pay tribute to? "

"Highest specification." Auston didn't hesitate.

The deputy captain paused, "General, isn't this too high-profile?"

"Don't worry about those old guys in the parliament making irresponsible remarks, saying that we were the first to deliver flowers before the national festival." Auston showed the light screen in his hand in front of the vice-captain. On the screen were him and the president. After the page was turned, there was a document that President Anderson personally approved, "This is the first memorial service in seven hundred years, and it must be presented with a ceremony of the highest standard. Our actions will not be reported by the media and will not be understood by the public. It will even be criticized by the parliament, but we must be worthy of our conscience. After 30 years of controversy, the national sacrifice will be delayed again and again, and it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.”

Emperor Qin Feng Anderson is a hero in the hearts of all soldiers, a spiritual pillar in his heart, and many of his ideas are not out of date to this day.

This is a true hero who should not be forgotten for political reasons!

Interstellar 3020 June 16th, this day in history, "Mecha Overview" was compiled, the red coral star field was discovered, the synthetic music "Romantic Dawn" spread to thousands of households, and the panda on the mother planet of the earth was With manual intervention, the number reached 2,000 and triplets were successfully bred. The fifth-generation grandson of Anderson the Great and the singer Anderson V committed suicide by jumping off the building due to depression. Star Coke has sold five trillion bottles in total. The secret recipe leaked and went bankrupt... After today, there will be one more "big event" on this day - 700 years after the end of the Battle of Dawn, for the first time, the Legion will pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the battle.

At five o'clock that day, Auston opened his eyes without the alarm clock reminding him, and turned over and got up neatly, but Ryan, who was sleeping beside him, changed his usual decisiveness, lying on the bed and staring at Auston and said, "The ceremony It only started at ten o'clock, and it's still early."

"I have to do the preparatory work first." Auston's spirit was a little excited because of what was to come.

Ryan buried his face in the pillow, his voice muffled, "Oh."

Auston has been a little overexcited since last night, hidden under a cold and indifferent expression, only close people can see it. Dafu's time has grown, and when we discussed with the original, nine out of ten topics revolved around Qin Feng Anderson the Great...

This is understandable, after all, Auston is going to personally enter the core area of ​​the Battle of Dawn in the Weldon Starfield today, and go there to pay homage to the souls of the soldiers who died in the war.

It is impossible to verify when the Zerg first entered the star field of human life, maybe it was a thousand years ago, maybe within a thousand years, when human beings officially confronted the Zerg, they had been swallowed up in a very fast and cruel way. There are several asteroids on the border, and behind the Zerg army is a devastated planet with no living creatures left.

The flames of war ignited, and mankind began a long history of fighting against the Zerg.

The war years without mechas were called the Scarlet Age in history by later generations. Human beings used flesh and blood to slow down the pace of the Zerg attack, and exchanged the lives of soldiers for the continuation of human fire. The times create heroes, and countless heroes have been born in the **** era. There are warriors who are not afraid of death, scientists who work hard, doctors who fight for their lives with death, and battlefields where the Zerg Daao reports the front-line situation to the people under the hail of bullets. Reporter... Among them, Qin Feng Anderson is undoubtedly the most shining one.

He was born before the Zerg invaded the human race. His father was an ordinary soldier, and his mother was an excellent mechanic. Influenced by his parents, he grew into an excellent reserve soldier. Become a respected general. Later, Qin Feng Anderson abandoned the army to go into politics and became the president at the age of 150. He buried the fallen soldiers, showed compassion for the war orphans, encouraged education and scientific research, and advocated recuperation. He even boldly proposed the concept of mecha. He successfully made a mecha before he was 200 years old, but at that time the mecha was more like a large robot, and the effect on the battlefield after being equipped with artificial intelligence was far less useful than the derived mecha skeleton. But this invention gave mankind the hope of defeating the Zerg.

Qin Feng was not discouraged and continued his research to break through the nerve center, energy reserves and other problems. His existence is like a miracle bestowed on mankind by God, which allows mankind in the dark to see the hope of dawn.

The 299-year-old Qin Feng has entered his old age, and the war with the Zerg has run through his life. When the horn of the human counterattack sounded, he personally led the army to fight the Zerg, and the front that spread across the border was finally compressed in Weldon. area.

The darkness before dawn, heralding the dawn when the darkness is about to pass - the battle of dawn is coming.

During the Battle of Dawn, he invested in the latest mecha made by Qin Feng Anderson and implanted the most advanced AI at that time. He said that the name of the mecha would be made public after the war. The top leader of the Central Empire personally fought and entered the front line of the war to fight against the Zerg, and the Zerg retreated, but at the most critical juncture, the emperor's diet was poisoned. In the battle, he decided to self-destruct the mecha and die together with the Insect King.

The huge energy wave made the magnetic field around the Avenue of Dawn chaotic, and a black hole was born from the distortion, which human beings have been unable to approach for 700 years. It was not until 30 years ago that the black hole quietly disappeared and the chaotic magnetic field returned to calm, so that humans could once again see the remains of the war.

"Emperor Anderson is my goal in the army." Auston sat beside the bed and comforted Ryan. He did ignore Ryan's feelings for the memorial during this time. "Being able to personally preside over the heroes of the Battle of Dawn is my greatest wish in my life. I'm sorry, I ignored you."

Ryan sighed helplessly, got up and hugged Auston. He said, "I just don't want you to be too tired. After all, your injury is not completely healed."

"Come on, Blair said it'll be better in a month or two."

Ryan gave him a firm hug and then let go, "Go get busy, I'm up too."

"Mmmm." Auston paused, and while Ryan was not paying attention, he quickly kissed him on the lips, "Bye~"

Ryan didn't let him go so simply, he hugged the person and deepened the kiss, "Bye~"

Watching Auston leave, Ryan stood at the door for a while and then turned around. His eyes met a pair of eyes with no emotion, it was Yuan Chu.

The original cold voice said: "His idol, Emperor Qin Feng Anderson, is a strong and resourceful man."

"An old man who has never been married, is obsessed with his career, has a bright face and white hair, and is a twilight hero. He still doesn't know people well, was betrayed by others, uses military force, is obsessed with mecha research, drains the national treasury, and is stubborn..." Ryan sneered. At the corner of his mouth, Emperor Qin Feng Anderson's life was mixed. The empire did not hold public sacrifices because there was a lot of opposition in the country, claiming that the emperor would slow down the country's progress and lose a large number of people. Anyway, everything is said. have. Beauty is unforgettable, heroes are slandered, and it is easy to forget the sacrifices of martyrs when living in comfort.

Ryan bypassed the original to go to the bathroom, and soon his voice came from the bathroom, mixed with a little bit of a vague sound of brushing his teeth, "You should learn to enjoy life instead of devoting yourself to careers, hobbies, and inventions. If you focus too much, you won't be able to. Friends, there will be many more jealous enemies..."

Yuan Chu nodded, he agreed with this sentence, "If you invest in life, you will not blush when you touch a boy's hand, and dare to say I love you to the person you like. Sir, you are so right, I am proud to have a master like you."

Ryan: "…"

He stuck his head out of the bathroom and squinted at Yuan Chu, "Speak less, or you will be deducted from the energy block."

Yuan Chu: "Okay, sir. I promise not to say a word."

Ryan: "..." It feels more irritating this way.

The memorial ceremony began at ten o'clock, and the soldiers who did not leave the ship gathered at the mecha training ground and silently waited for the time to come.

dong dong dong!

The heavy bell rang, a solemn and quiet atmosphere enveloped the audience, the lights around it went out, and everyone was in the dark as if they had come to the depths of the universe, and it was like the darkness before dawn. In the infinite distance, a ray of light appeared, like the sun rising, and like the twinkling of stars, and a huge stone slowly moved away from the top of the head. If you look far away, you will find similar stones spread throughout the space. These stones are asteroids. 's remnants.

In the Battle of Dawn, Emperor Anderson drove the mecha and blew himself up with the Insect King. The resulting shock wave shattered hundreds of small planets of various sizes in the Wilden Star Field, and the resulting gravel was tens of thousands of light-years long. The stone belt is called the Avenue of Dawn. In the gravel belt, the corpses of the Zerg, the fragments of mechas, the remains of humans, and the dismembered bodies of various weapons can still be seen... A glimpse of the tragic battle of the year can be seen.

The fierce resistance of the Zerg, the defense of the human beings, the casualties of the two sides are incalculable, and only a handful of people have really walked off the battlefield. The Battle of Dawn crippled the Zerg and thwarted their spirit. It took two hundred years for these cosmic robbers to recover, and they began to harass humans, but they would never push humans to a corner.

Ryan looked around, still stepping on the ground of the training ground, but his body seemed to come to the Avenue of Dawn. This is the use of holographic projection technology, so that all the soldiers on the ship who could not be there in person have an immersive feeling.

"scare!"

I don't know who made a short exclamation in front of me. It was the Zerg's hideous body in the projected live that moved in front of me.

A slight buzzing sound cut through the sky, and Ryan followed the others to look in the direction of the sound. The dark code-named Zero entered the field of vision first. Behind him were hundreds of mecha warriors, who flew over everyone. Above the sky, he entered the center of the Avenue of Dawn. In the center, there was the broken body of the Insect Emperor, with a huge black epee inserted into the body.

Ryan's eyes calmly moved away from the black epee, and he looked at the newly emerging team.

After the mecha warriors, there were tens of thousands of melee soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons. Ryan saw Derrick, Harriet, and Fan Luanting. Wearing exoskeletons and lightweight space combat suits, they are able to balance and fly in a vacuum-free environment.

Mighty, tenacious, never give in.

This is a strong team!

The great Anderson will see that even though his once trusted partners have carved up his everything for power and status, there are still people who insist on defending his dreams hundreds of years later.

Fight for the stability of the empire!

After everyone assembled, the ceremony officially started, sending wreaths, mourning, reciting eulogy... Everything went in an orderly manner. The vast universe slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, and what finally disappeared in Ryan's eyes was the black epee in front of Code Zero.

Mecha with cold weapons?

I don't know what Qin Feng Anderson was thinking.

Lane closed his eyes silently.

After the memorial ceremony, the fleet continued to sail and arrived at the ground base of the Golden Crusade, Gamma Base, on August 9, five days earlier than expected. The cruise mission is over. At the same time, the two sub-ships Mars and Carcatier set sail with their frigates to begin their garrison missions. Eighteen months later, the ships Athena and Ares, which set off together with the Xingtian ship, will be completed. Their garrison mission, set off for the return flight.

The cruising mission of the lead ship is carried out once every three years for 18 months.

The next cruise mission is three years away.

Ryan carried the cage and carried a large backpack as he walked out of the Xingtian Ship with the crowd. What caught his eye was the cold, iron-blooded architectural style of the military base. The last time he came here, he was a newcomer to this place. Come again, he just participated. A little soldier on a cruise mission.

"Lane, it's a holiday now, what are you going to do?"

It was the team leader Su Ming who was talking to Ryan. His outfit was even more exaggerated than Ryan's. The backpack behind him was half the size of his own. It was bulging and filled with his collections. Little babies for a moment.

Ryan smiled and said, "Take the second-level test for the mecha repairer first, and go home after the test."

Su Ming's eyes widened, "Didn't you just pass the Level 1 exam, and take the Level 2 exam so soon?!"

"The second-level exam has low requirements on working hours. You can take it after one year. I will try it first."

Su Ming: "...Uh, if you usually say try it, I know that you have a 100% chance of success."

Ryan smiled innocently, "I can't guarantee it either."

Su Ming raised his hand in surrender, "You are different, you have already shown your excellent side, you don't need to be humble, your modesty will only make the enemy terrified."

Ryan: "...No need to exaggerate."

Su Ming nodded vigorously, "It is necessary!"

Lane thought for a while and said, "Okay." For the second-level exam, the words should, probably, maybe, maybe don't need to appear, he can definitely pass!

After waving goodbye to Su Ming, Ryan walked to his dormitory at the ground base. It was not a privileged single room, but a dormitory for four people. Located in dormitory 1204, Building 16, in the dormitory area, Ryan pushed the door in, and an indescribable smell of men came over his face, and Ryan unexpectedly captured a somewhat familiar feeling from it.

There were three other people in the dormitory, and there was a man in a racer-style camouflage vest lying on his back, who was Ryan's top bunk. One was standing by the window playing the handheld, and the earphones covered his ears, so that he could not hear the sound of someone coming in. There is also a naked upper body holding a 10-kilogram dumbbell, with exaggerated biceps bulging, and looking at the waist of some slender women.

While on the bed and exercising, he looked towards the door. The new roommate was a gentle and peaceful young man. He looked good when he smiled. He was not very tall and not very strong. He had black hair and brown eyes. Has typical oriental ancestry characteristics.

It looks like a good bully, hehe.

"Hey, little one, you've been placed in bed number four?"

Ryan walked to the only vacant bed, sat down and said, "If no one sleeps here, then I think this bed should be mine."

"Then you have to be careful, the guy in your upper bunk can crush you to death if you're not careful."

"Jollyfer, keep your mouth shut, don't be too rude in front of the little one." The brother in the upper bunk lowered his head to look at Ryan, "Where are you going?"

Ryan looked up at the man and said, "Xing Tianjian."

"Wow, you are actually on the general's battleship. Have you seen the general? Do you think the general is very powerful!" The brother in the upper bunk propped up the bed, rotated directly in the air, and turned around smoothly. The height of this brother must be more than 1.9 meters. Fifth, his temperament is a little frivolous. He leaned his arms against the bed and looked at Ryan condescendingly, "Newcomer, what's your name?"

"Lane." After feeling the liveliness of his roommates, Ryan felt that he had integrated into the dormitory atmosphere. He could open the black cloth surrounding the cage and release Daifuku... Or wait a while and ask the roommates if they would mind having one Small pets there?

As soon as the black cloth was lifted, a small paw hooked the edge and pulled it down. Dafu snorted before not showing his face.

Ryan: "..." This gadget is getting more and more personality.

"Lane!"

"Lane!!"

The two roommates shouted in unison, one louder than the other, and one more excited.

Ryan nodded, "Ryan Smith, a member of the Xingtian Ship Mecha Repair Department."

The roommate swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolled, obviously surprised that his roommate was Ryan! Ryan, a rookie who made his debut on the Xingtian Ship, is the winner of the B612 competition, the one who stepped on many mech warriors and melee soldiers.

Ryan was still indifferent, without the anger of being treated contemptuously at the beginning, nor the joy of being famous in the Skyship, he raised the cage in his hand, "Do you mind having a small pet, it will be taken away after I finish the exam in a few days. ."

The two roommates nodded obediently. The big ones stood in front of Ryan respectfully, like children in the school who were educated by teachers.

"Can."

"We accept small pets."

"Crap!" The one who was focusing on playing the game angrily took off his headset after the failure, and he turned around and said, "Today, the recruits are reporting, and there are still ships entering the port, maybe the fourth bed will be occupied, hehe, we **** him."

Then he met Ryan's warm eyes and heard Ryan say, "Hello, I'm Ryan Smith."

He stared blankly at his roommates who were standing in rows waiting to eat Guoguo, and then at Ryan who was sitting on the bed. He pulled his cheeks and smiled, "Oh, what did I just say." Everyone pretended to have collective amnesia and forgot. Okay…

"You said you were going to get the man in bed number four." Ryan reminded kindly, "Is it still possible?"

"Uuuuu, boss, we were wrong." The guy holding the handheld can bend and stretch, admitting counsel on the spot.

A drama in which a veteran bullies a newcomer declared bankruptcy before it even started, and soon fell in love with each other. Ryan nodded. The atmosphere in the dormitory is very good and must be maintained.

Dinner time is coming soon.

"Boss, are you going to dinner?" Joe River, who had become a bodybuilder, asked when he was leaving.

"It's still early, I'll read a book first."

"Boss, why don't we bring it back to you?"

Ryan thought about it, "Then I'll trouble you, I'll transfer it to you."

"No, no, you don't need money to ask the boss to eat." Joe River hurried out and came in after a while, "Boss, what do you want to eat, do you have any taboos?"

"No taboo, just give me a portion of whatever you eat."

"okay."

When everyone else in the dormitory was gone, Ryan, who was reading under the lamp, thought, "It's really a good roommate who is a good brother and brother, a kind and harmonious roommate."

"Ow." Dafu, who was lying on Ryan's bed, cried out, as if he was laughing.
