Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

The central area of ​​Star Kerr, the general base of the Fifth Army.

Ares frowned and picked up the video. On the light screen was Tweer Tabby's face: "Major General, the drone in sector 23 in the local direction of Kerr planet has found a ghost trail, level [-] alert. The number of enemies is about [-], temporarily No ghost above the intelligence level has been found."

"Understood." Ares quickly dispatched fighters to fight, and ordered Qi Jun to gather the sharp knife squad that had passed the preliminary screening.

Two minutes later, the team members participating in the sharp knife selection training gathered on the apron of the base, preparing to fly fighters to the front-line command ship for their second round of actual combat screening.Ares temporarily handed over the ground command to his adjutant, and took off with the selected training team.

A communication was connected to the cockpit of "Tianshu", and Qi Jun said solemnly in the communication: "Recently, the enemy situation has appeared a bit frequently. I just wiped out one team a few days ago, captured another team yesterday, and came again today. "

Ares let out a sigh of relief, and said: "It has been more than 20 years since the space bridge escaped last time. With the distance of the Urau galaxy, it is not surprising that the ghosts are gradually catching up."

"It is said that after the empire escaped from the Jianzhou galaxy to Ulawu, there was a period of peace for nearly 50 years." Qi Jun said, "Ulawu is not much closer to here than to Jianzhou. Already mastered the space bridge?"

"No, the body of the Zerg cannot cross the space bridge." Ares suppressed the irritability in his heart and comforted him.

Qi Jun was still worried: "Heh, they are all able to open fighters. It's hard to say whether these things can also learn to open fortresses. After swallowing three galaxies, the people on so many planets and fortresses are probably not 'humans' anymore. Tell me, why do they have to chase after the empire?"

Ares said with a sneer: "Three generations have fought for hundreds of years, and they have all been chased and killed to the capital. They haven't figured out what the ghost's purpose is."

"The point is, they are not human beings, and we can't figure them out in the same way as people's hearts." Qi Jun sighed.

Soon, the fighter jet team landed on the command ship, and Ares went directly to the central control room.The fighter plane team sent out earlier could already see the ghosts on the radar. The team of more than 200 combat-level ghosts were all Zerg parasites, not too many, and a fighter plane team could quickly deal with them.But now that the enemy situation has been discovered on the front line, it is necessary to send multiple patrol teams to set off vigilance in a large area to prevent a single ghost from trying to sneak into the country.

The combat missions these few times were not heavy, but it was inevitable that there would be three alarms in a short period of time.

"Are you going to stay here recently?" Qi Jun asked.

Ares nodded: "It is most convenient for me to stay on the command ship. Once I encounter a dangerous enemy situation, I can respond as quickly as possible. You go and train them first, and I will see if I can apply for an actual combat exercise in the nearby airspace." Anyway, Xiao Yi has already set off for practical training, and he doesn't need to stay in the land of Kerr. The Sharp Knife Squad needs to be tempered in actual combat. There is really no strong enemy to practice with, and actual combat exercises are also essential.

"Success." Qi Jun agreed, turned around and left.

At this time, an officer came in from the outside and reported to Ares: "The news from the First Research Institute, the new type of Antimat bomb has been successfully tested, and the commander proposed to equip the fighter planes of the Fifth Army... "

"I rely on you to say it again, what is it?" Qi Jun turned his head quickly.

"Antima." The officer repeated, his face turning pale.

Ares frowned and said: "What is the research institute thinking? This unstable weapon has been banned a long time ago, why did it come up again?"

The military channel: "Say it's a new model, let the Fifth Army try it on the front line."

Ares couldn't help cursing a few swear words, scaring the little officers and soldiers in the central control room into silence.He said coldly: "Because of a ghost fighter, this is going to be unscrupulous. Which new weapon is not installed in the army after several years of experiments with drones, let alone anti-matter weapons! This is not the Seventh Army. On the front line, Fei Liba doesn’t feel sorry for someone who died, does he?”

"The proposal hasn't been approved yet, but you need to pay attention to this news." The officer quickly explained.

"I can't let it pass!" Ares said with a dark face.

Qi Jun brought Ares a glass of water to make him feel comfortable, and said: "The appearance of the ghost fighter has increased the pressure on the research institute. Since Urau fled here, the empire has not had any weapons. Progress, if the ghosts have mastered our fighter planes or even fortresses, they will pose a greater threat to us. The research institute is probably forced to, someone needs them to come up with some new results, and they have no choice but to put Antimat After all, it seems that only this technology is still half-mature."

Since the demise of the Holy Spirit Race, the empire's technology has stagnated. For hundreds of years, there has been no discovery that can change the situation of the war, and the loss of the space bridge technology has made the empire even worse.Those politicians who sent all the Holy Spirit Race to the battlefield have long since passed away, but they have left the evil they sowed to the current empire, attracting curses and abuse from many people.

But the facts are already like this, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

He slowly raised his hand, touching a small bump on his chest through the slightly heavy military uniform.There is a golden pendant hanging there, and the word "Holy Yin" is engraved on the back of the pendant.

I don't know how Xiaoyi's training is going, the last time I saw him was a weekend back in the thirteen provinces dozens of days ago, and it was just a quick photo.Now he is on the patrol ship, drifting away from Star Kerr, the delay in the information makes it impossible for him to videoconference with him, and the other party's message cannot be sent because of the authority block, and it will probably be more than a hundred days.

In the past, I traveled to various fortresses on the front line, and often entered the management of the military line during wartime. It was common for me to lose contact with my friends and relatives for a long time.But why do you feel that the 100-odd days are too long to make you anxious when you switch to Xiao Yi?

Ares clicked on Xue Yi's communication page on the bracelet, looked at the historical news on the light screen, and was in a daze.

……

On the patrol ship on the way to Fort 35, the students couldn’t wait to open the nutritional supplements they had just received, and swallowed those mushy objects that had no taste at all.Had they been told before that day that they would have tears in their eyes for a small vial of nutrition, they would have scoffed.

But now, after the punishment of morning training took up breakfast time, and the procrastination of morning training took up lunch time, they finally tried their best to finish the afternoon training before dinner, and all they got was a small tube of nutrients and a packet of energy biscuits. .

But even so, the students who had been hungry all day still devoured their own dinners, while still feeling angry in their hearts: No wonder each meal is only given 5 minutes to eat, and it takes 2 minutes to eat something like this Don't drop it!

The Bedouin poured a few mouthfuls of light salt water into the standard water bottle, exhaled comfortably, and cursed, "Damn it, this is abuse, this is absolutely abuse!"

Xue Yi smiled wryly and shook his head, but Shao Dongli calmly said from the side: "This is what the frontline officers and soldiers eat during wartime."

He was right. From a nutritional point of view, this kind of food is very efficient, takes up little space, contains high energy, and saves time to eat. Most of the substances will eventually be absorbed by the body, reducing the need for excretion—except for the taste , is indeed a good way of eating.

"I suddenly felt that I was in the wrong profession." Robert laughed at himself. "Thinking that I will have to eat this food for the rest of my life, I feel that the future is bleak..."

Vitas said: "Be content, we still have time for dinner. The ninth barracks are still standing for punishment. Seeing that the time for evening training is approaching, they probably won't even be able to eat dinner."

Hearing what he said, the atmosphere in the entire team and the fourth barracks phalanx became clear.Although this sounds a little unreasonable, it is undeniable that when you are miserable, if someone around you is worse than you, you will naturally feel a lot better in your heart.This is the current state of mind of the students in the fourth barracks.

They looked at the team that was still being punished on the training ground not far away, silently swallowed the nutrient in their mouths, and felt that the food was actually not particularly bad.

Soon, the evening training began, which turned out to be training in the fighter jet simulation cabin.However, the simulation cabin is limited, and each barracks lined up to enter the cabin one by one, and each batch of training lasted 15 minutes. The barracks that did not arrive were trained with their instructors for physical fitness and strength.

The fourth barracks where Xue Yi was in was placed in the second batch of cabins. There were two students in each simulation cabin. The main seat and the auxiliary seat could switch positions at any time during training.The instructor arranged the students to board the plane according to the number of each team. Xue Yi and Vitas were grouped together as the leader and the last.

The two entered the simulation cabin, Vitas sat directly in the main driver's seat, and Xue Yi silently sat in the auxiliary seat behind him.Vitas smiled and said, "Don't worry about my driving skills."

Xue Yi nodded.He did not doubt Vitas's driving ability, and today is the first simulation cabin training at the beginning of the training. The training map is the takeoff and landing between the two platforms, which is very simple for the students in the national defense class.After all, Vitas is already a fifth grade student, even if he can't compare to the experienced frontline officers and soldiers, his skills are much better than Xue Yi's.

Because of this, Vitas only practiced twice before switching the main position to Xue Yi.

"Actually, the control of your fighter is really good." He sat on the auxiliary seat behind Xue Yi, and whispered with a smile, "Did the major general give you some advice?"

Xue Yi shook his head: "He never taught me how to fly a fighter."

Vitas didn't believe it: "I heard from the teacher that your driving skills were already very good when you first transferred to the national defense class. Haven't you practiced it before?"

"Would you believe me if I said I practiced in "Star Wars"?" Xue Yi said.

Naturally, Vitas didn't believe it. There was neither a sense of control nor a simulation of gravity and acceleration in the game, so how could it be possible to practice driving skills.Xue Yi smiled, but did not explain that he met a strange player in "Star Wars".

Since he entered the national defense class, although he hasn't had much time to play "Star Wars", when he occasionally finds time to go online, he is often dragged by the player named General Black Cat to a one-on-one match. The game will be played by the opponent as teaching and training.Now Xue Yi is sure that General Xuanmao is a very experienced fighter pilot, because even in the game, he can see actions that are not suitable for actual driving from the details of Xue Yi's control, and correct them.

Under the guidance of such a picky netizen, and Xue Yi is using game glasses and a virtual joystick, he can naturally learn a lot of practical driving skills from the game.Moreover, he has already bought a Yushen III with the game coins he accumulated, so he is actually very familiar with this fighter that is equipped with most of the troops on the front line of Star Kerr.

Vitas saw that Xue Yi had no problems with take-off and landing skills, so he rotated positions with him several times.Soon, their training time is over.

"It's a great honor for us to continue working together in the simulation cabin and actual combat exercises." Coming out of the simulation cabin, Vitas suddenly said with a smile.

Xue Yi was also very grateful that he was able to partner with an excellent driver, and nodded with a smile.

The first day of training on the patrol ship was finally over. The students were tortured by the whole day of punishment and training. They were punished for the long-distance running first, then they stood in the military posture all morning, and then they practiced mechanical left-handed movements all afternoon. Turn right and walk in step.They never realize that standing and turning can be quite a torture, especially if they are hungry.

Until then, these students, who could almost be regarded as the pride of heaven, began to have a general impression of the military life on the front line.

The children who made noise last night until the early morning were too sleepy to keep their eyes open, so a large number of people lay down in bed early and began to sleep.Xue Yi went to bed early last night and was still not sleepy.He wandered to the corridor outside the barracks, looked up at the lights on the roof of the corridor, and was somewhat dissatisfied with the depressing atmosphere here.

The fourth barracks was relatively outside, almost connected to the elevator leading to the training ground. He checked the time, and there was still an hour before the lights-off time that he knew, which was quite sufficient.He took the elevator to the training ground, and there was no one there.

Xue Yi found a corner and stood still, turned on the recording function of the bracelet, and started humming a song that he had rewritten some time ago but hadn't had time to record.

"The long-distance ship disappeared into the sky. Your back gradually became unclear. I stared at the boundless starry sky, as if sighing and parting again."

"The raised sails reflect the morning sun. I can't keep up with your footsteps. I look forward to the next winter and meet again after a long time."

"Counting, counting, 470 one. Flying, flying, the eaves are covered with snow. It seems that I can feel the temperature of your palm and the coat you put on my shoulders."

"Counting, counting, 470 one. Flashing, flashing, the galaxy is thousands of miles away. It seems that I can hear your whispering, and the warm breath of you and me."

The last syllable ended slowly with a long note, Xue Yi turned off the recording of the bracelet, and sighed almost inaudibly.

Suddenly I miss Ares.

It's a pity that his communication authority has been blocked, and he can no longer send messages to the other party at any time like before.And this parting will last at least a hundred days, it is really difficult to think about it.

As he thought about it, he casually stroked his bracelet.
