Chapter 146: : Out of date

There are countless wonders in the vast starry sky. Some of them can be enjoyed or even played, some are frightening and others can't be avoided, and there are some places in between. Human beings can survive in them with the help of powerful technology. ≧ Bayi Chinese ≯ ≥ NetW ≦ W ﹤ W ≤. ≦ 8 ﹤ 1 ≦ Ｚ ﹤ W. Com
If the field of vision can be wide enough, Thomas Star Field is like a huge colorful toad, with a large area of ​​light blue on the back and back, divided by some small lines in the middle, like a spider web. People with a bit of common sense know that this huge starry sky is the blue sea that people often refer to. There are countless dangers and opportunities inside. The lines are some unsteady channels, sometimes unblocked, sometimes missing.
When it comes to the blue sea, people first think of an acid mist floating in the vast world. I do not know why the appearance of blue is the main basis for its name. Since it is not a vacuum, the degree of all space vehicles will drop here. The corrosive acid mist is even a nightmare for the astronauts. Not only will the energy consumption of the ship increase, the hull will be corroded, but the radar will be greatly restricted. , Easy to get lost.
Disorientation in space, the most ignorant people can understand the meaning of this sentence, not to mention the blue sea, only its surroundings, a large number of spaceships are in danger every year due to the flowing acid mist, countless missing people. It is worth mentioning that not all of the missing spacecraft were killed due to natural disasters, and there are many more .
Everyone knows that there are many planets in the Blue Sea that can be used for human life, and there are many precious resources that are unimaginable outside, but because of the acid mist and more unpredictable dangers, they are not as prosperous as outside. . Every year, or even every day, people try to enter it, some of them dream of adventure, more to avoid wanted and hunted. No matter how much sin has been committed and how unspoken the world is, as long as you enter this place, you will become innocent, and no law can restrict it.
There is always a way out of life. The blue sea gathers the world's most brave people, the most cunning people, the most dangerous, shameless, and even perverts. Such places are inconceivable by mainstream society and gradually evolve into what they are today. .
The place of exile, the place where the most stars steal.
...
...
Star theft is the most terrible person in space. Compared with other places, the blue starfish is more organized and larger. In addition to being born fierce and brutal, the combat effectiveness is not inferior to the army; of course, they have many weaknesses, such as Without national backing, the technical blockade of the Red and Black Alliance, imbalance of resources, lack of discipline and so on. If fighting in the outside world, any formed army will not take star thieves into consideration. However, in the blue sea, environmental factors will narrow the gap between the two sides to the greatest extent. Star thieves even dare to attack like small-scale troops.
Less than a last resort, no country will send the precious space fleet to the Blue Sea. There, the fleet was like an elephant breaking into a maze, surrounded by the awesome and greedy eyes of hyenas. They were so hungry and fearless, on the one hand, they avoided the larger fleet, and at the same time seized every possible opportunity to try to take a sip of flesh, scouts, drones, positioning radar, and even throw them into garbage. The obsolete equipment in space, no matter what is left on the road, will always be found by those who have a keen sense of smell. On the other hand, even the poorest fleet, all the robbers of Star Thief will not look straight at them, which is worthless.
In terms of equipment, the most common star robbers are modified armed merchant ships. Occasionally, some people have taken , picked them up, captured them, or obtained warships through some secret channels. Even if there are only one or two ships, their strength will rise instantly. A few grades. As for the quantity, there are so many star robbers in the blue sea. Hugh said that the outside world can't even figure out how many companions they have; someone simply said that the babies in the blue sea have the genes of star robbers and there is no way to distinguish them.
Star thieves have brought great trouble to the mainstream society of humankind, but there is also a good side. Part of the reason why the Red and Black Alliance can coexist peacefully. The blue sea and star thief separated the two camps. Except for the countries bordered by the two alliances at both ends, there are only a dozen unstable channels available for exchange. In this case, the two sides must carefully consider. The retreat was blocked, and what kind of desperation the invading fleet was facing.
This is the overall situation. The universe creates trouble for human beings, and in a sense it is also mercy; for those countries that exist around the blue sea, they can only endure the attack of star theft silently.
There are not many such countries, and the Hualong Federation and Ji Peng Empire happen to be among them. Open the star chart. At the northwest corner of the blue sea, there is a starry sky as if it was cut off by the blue waist, forming a huge arrow. The two sides are marked with the Hualong Federation in red, and the Ji Peng Empire in yellow. There are several bright spots where the three meet, which is where humans can live and where the three parties compete.
Cape of Good Hope, Penglai, Yanmen Port.
...
...
Strategically speaking, this triangular area is extremely important. Among them, Yanmen Port is the gateway to the Hualong Federation. The most important transition channel nearby is directly connected to the Red League. Some people say that if the Yanmen fell, it would seem to Hualong Federation that the door of the room would be removed and there is no back door available. Since the founding of the Hualong Federation, there have been heavy soldiers here, and it has become a true military fortress year after year.
On the left, in front of Yanmen Port, near the blue sea area, the planet sometimes covered by acid mist and sometimes exposed is named the Cape of Good Hope. On the right side of Yanmen Port, in front of it, the planet with most of the area occupied by the ocean and only a large 6 in the middle is Penglai, which means that it has a breathtaking beauty like a fairyland.
Because of the climate affected by acid mist, there are not many places on the Cape of Good Hope that are really suitable for human habitation, but they are rare and complicated places in the universe. Both the Hualong Federation and Ji Peng Empire claim to have sovereignty over this, and Star Thief also considers this place as Territory, even those star thieves who have deep hatred against each other, will not fight here, but join forces to fight against the outside world, to be precise the Hualong Federation, and occasionally Ji Peng Empire.
In terms of strength comparison alone, although the two major nations have formidable military forces, neither of them has built a space base here due to the presence of acid mist. Those who sail on ships instead have the advantage; the ground The situation is more complicated. The three parties have their own "territory" and "people."
In Penglai, the situation is a different story. The Hualong Federation and the Ji Peng Empire are comparable, and the influence of the Star Thief is minimal. The reason why the aftertaste can be retained is actually the intention of the two countries to release water. The root cause lies in the Cape of Good Hope. Once you try to erase it, it will inevitably lead to revenge on the Star Thief of the Cape of Good Hope, which is difficult to bear.
Star Thief also needs to live, and also hopes to keep the connection with the outside world not to be cut off, and also covets the wonderful enjoyment of the mainstream world; on the other hand, the two major countries do not want to completely turn their faces with Star Thief and maintain the necessary communication channels. Good.
Penglai has the most wonderful scenery in the world, the most abundant food, and the beauties of all races around the world. Occasionally, there will be "Da" star thieves secretly come to enjoy life, as long as it is not those who must be caught, do not do too Out of the ordinary things, the two kingdoms opened their eyes and closed their eyes as invisible.
Of course, this is a private matter. On the surface, you can often hear how the official vowed to steal the Star Thief.
This delicate balance has been going on for many years since the interstellar age, and until recently, things have gradually begun to change, moving in a direction people don't want to see.
In the winter of 1996, freshmen of the First Military Academy of the Hualong Federation were attacked, and the suspects pointed directly at Ji Peng. Because of this incident, not only the relationship between the two countries plummeted to the freezing point, but also the red and black alliances exploded fiercely. When the parliament is convened, someone will always smash this matter as a weapon and will be counterattacked.
At the beginning of 1997, a series of man-made tragedies broke out in the main star of the Ji Peng Empire. Although the news was strictly sealed, at the national level, such things could not be kept secret, and the whole world was shocked. By the end of the day, people were stunned when they learned part of the content through word of mouth.
Time flowed in quarrels and controversy. In 1998, the Hualong Federation announced that the military reform was initially completed and at the same time announced the establishment of a third A-class space fleet; in response, the road to strong military forces in Ji Peng Empire was already underway. The intention is so obvious that it can no longer be obvious, and the intention does not need to be asked.
The restlessness of the two countries affects the whole world. In addition to the sea lanes in the blue sea, the two countries next to each other are one of the direct channels of the Red and Black Alliance. Although it is too far away for the countries in the central region, its significance Still significant. Seeing that this place is about to evolve into war, the disputes between the two major alliances are becoming increasingly fierce. Today, the human supreme conference spends less than half of its time here, arguing, threatening, discussing, and changing the drama every day.
In this environment, the peace talks between Hualong and Ji Peng are also underway. The progress is like a dance between couples.
Time continued to move forward, and the situation evolved little by little. By the time of 1999, things were not understandable. On the one hand, there were several adjacent places that became hot spots, and the Supreme Human Conference was actually paralyzed. The friction between the Red and Black alliances is constantly on the verge of bursting. On the other hand, after hard negotiations, the situation between the Hualong Federation and the Ji Peng Empire showed signs of easing. At the end of 1998, it was rumored that the Federal Foreign Minister and the second Prince of the Ji Peng Empire had secretly met, and a preliminary peace draft had been formed.
What is even more surprising is that Star Thief jumped onto the stage at this time and began to make incidents frequently. When it comes to the Cape of Good Hope, as the place where the three parties co-manage, this place originally has the most chaotic situation, and there are fighting students every day. Now for some reason, the power of the Star Thief suddenly swells, and it starts to form a real ground. The troops attacked at the same time.
Strictly speaking, the use of attacks to describe star theft is a bit overdone. More accurately, it is called looting and raiding. During this period, armed forces continued to penetrate the control scope of the two countries. Unlike in the past, they were dispatched more frequently, with more people, significantly upgraded equipment, and their appetite became significantly larger. Sometimes, they even became like military camps. Attack and everything you see.
Perhaps for this reason, the peace talks between the two enraged nations have accelerated significantly, while increasing their forces towards the Cape of Good Hope, counterattacking, and chasing star theft. What is surprising is that no matter whether Hualong or Ji Peng, in this seemingly unsuspecting battle, they have not been able to take advantage, but they are a little bit embarrassed.
Summarizing the reasons, in addition to the above-mentioned "Star Stealer is stronger than before", the more important reason is the environment; since the second half of 1998, those headaches have become more and more acid mist, and after a year, there are constant acid Fog invades the atmosphere, which in turn leads to drastic changes in the climate of the Cape of Good Hope.
For the Star Thief familiar with Acid Mist, this is God's help.

...
Broken Dragon Ridge, the piercing highway looks like a slashing knife from the sky, cutting the mountain like a dragon.
For the Confederation of Dragons, the name of Broken Dragon Ridge is full of obscurity, and this place is full of ominous. After several previous scrambles, it still fell into the hands of the Star Thief.
Several armored vehicles of different styles parked to the side of the road, surrounded by dozens of armed men, a young man with a bright eyebrow rushed forward, and his long-lost enthusiasm was released in his soft eyes.
"Six brothers, hard work."
"I didn't say ... you kid, you're too big!"
Wang Xiaoliu hammered the young man's chest hard, and secretly looked at the fierce-looking fierce man behind him.
"These are yours?"
"That's right."
The young man smiled, then turned around and opened his hands.
"Xiaomei."
"Fu Sheng ..."
Until this time, the girl did not believe that this was a real life fact, she believed that the young man who was so full was the one who was waiting for her; He hugged the young man's waist, crying wow.
"Don't be afraid, it's all right, don't be afraid."
"Oh!"
Behind the youth was a ghost crying, screaming, whistling, accompanied by all kinds of nasty words, some people even wielded guns and opened fire into the sky, the fiery light shot into the sky. Seeing this situation, Xiaomei didn't dare to look up, and Wang Xiaoliu couldn't help trembling, and the mole on his face jumped wildly.
Feeling the fear of the girl in her arms, the youth turned back and glanced around her softly.
"What is it?"
The frolicking voice abruptly abruptly, a large group of fierce bandits looked embarrassed, and even some people kept a sense of laughter and discussion, and no one dared to face the eyes of young people.
"Ah!"
Wang Xiaoliu was also startled, realizing in his heart that he was no longer the young man who was desperate, but the murderer who could deter the beast.
Xiaomei refused to give up her hand when she died. The young man comforted softly, and when her mood was slightly stable, she held it with one hand and turned to ask Wang Xiaoliu.
"Liu, who is that?"
"Who? Uh ... she didn't come."
Wang Xiaoliu hesitated, and said in a low voice, "Fu Sheng, you should have a good life, you should be happy as an elder brother, but ..."
"Liu, you can say anything."
"Are you fighting the Commonwealth now?" Wang Xiaoliu lowered his voice even lower.
"Liu Brother misunderstood. Nothing like that."
"But here ..."
"Xianshan, I'll talk to you carefully."
Speaking of beckoning behind him, dozens of strong men jumped into the car one after another, and here the young man stood Xiaomei and greeted Xiaoliu to one of them, asking smoothly.
"Yes, Brother Liu, who didn't come, did you tell me what to do?"
"That's right. She told you to keep the road and don't cut it off, saying it might be used in the future. By the way, what does she mean?"
The young man did not answer his question, and a flash of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Go again ... that's fine."
"What's good?"
"It's fine." The young man perfunctoryly asked, "Where is Niuben, how are you doing now?"
"Isn't he going to school, it's time to graduate."
"In the past two years, what happened to the First Military Academy?"
"You said that last time? How could it be so often."
"So too."
The young man sent Xiaomei to the car and jumped to the driving position by himself, suddenly feeling a little bit sad.
"Graduated from the military school, I'm afraid it will be on the battlefield."
"Battlefield, here?"
"I don't know. If you come here ..."
I don't know what to think of, the young man sighed inexplicably, moved the car, and drove into the mountains with other people, leaving the dust.
...
...
One thing Wang Xiaoliu was wrong about is that there are several major events happening in the military academies, which are no less important than in those days.
The first major event is the change of President of the Hualong Federation this year. Although nominally, military school students will be soldiers in the future, and soldiers will not be allowed to interfere in politics. However, military school students do not have a formal military membership and they have the right to vote. People, and more importantly, the attitude of students often represents the will of the family. No matter who wants to sit in the presidency, the First Military Academy is an object that must be sought.
In fact, starting from last year, several major candidates have passed. Although they cannot use the name of canvassing, they can use their speeches to interpret their ideas of governing the country. After the New Year, similar situations are common and students are connected by themselves or under the organization of caring people. , Election-related activities can be seen everywhere.
The second major event is that a group of students in the military academy are about to leave the school. Unlike in previous years, these students experienced major ordeal when they entered the school. Since then, they have performed exceptionally well and are recognized as the best in the past 30 years. Because of this, this year's Mech Contest was particularly noticeable. The military has long sent representatives to the resident, similar to the situation when Li Ge was "booked".
This is just now. At the time of the competition, similar schools in many countries will send elites to come and watch, and as a special invitation to discuss with military school students.
In a sense, this confrontation is no longer just a matter within the military academy, it is related to the glory of the entire Federation.
The third major event, with the announcement of the formation of the third A-class fleet, the development of the federal fourth-generation mech has also reached a critical stage. As one of the important institutions for mech development, the First Military Academy has undertaken some of these tasks. Never hold back.
There is a fourth one. As the war between Star Thief becomes more and more fierce, the people on the one hand call on the government to come up with more powerful means, and at the same time pay attention to the whereabouts of their military academies; quite a few people advocate that this batch should be The young people who are hoping for the federation are sent to the battlefield. After all, the war with the Star Thief is controllable. Although it is hard, it is not as dangerous as the National War and is suitable for training.
Each of the four major events is of profound significance and has to do with the future national movement of the Federation. Today's No. 1 military academy is busy, up and down, and capable to participate in the contest. The unqualified people are shaking their flags, or they are busy for elections and for the future, and no one can be free.
Different people have different busy methods. For Niuben, the most direct feeling is that people from the 11th district of Menkeluoque came and went, and business was extremely hot.
This is not the case, he has just killed a customer, and there is someone screaming and noisy.
"Fix the mech now, otherwise don't blame me!"
