Jinling Space Launch Center.

The atmosphere has been a bit lively lately.

The first batch of space residents to go to the special zone of Guanghan City had already moved here a month ago. Most of them are post-90s, and some are post-80s. Regardless of age, the lowest education level among them is also a Ph.D. - if not, it must be a senior engineer.

Standing in the dormitory of the launch base, Tao Muye held a can of coffee in his hand, squatted on the cement pier on the side of the road, drinking coffee while thinking about his thoughts.

At this time, a man also walked out of the dormitory building, and happened to meet him, so he also walked towards this side.

"Doctor?"

There were only two kinds of people who went to the moon in the first batch, engineers and scientists. If you ask this, you probably assume that you are also the latter.

Looking at the man who was talking to him, Tao Muye nodded.

"Yes, what about you?"

"Like you," the flat-headed man smiled, lit a cigarette, and continued, "what are you going to do?" ”

"Me?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

"Let's farm."

"Farming?"

"Research seeds, to be exact."

"Sounds interesting."

"Probably not what you think."

"Haha, you look at Mu Ne on the surface, but I didn't expect it to be funny. The legendary sullen? But I'm serious," he said, taking a deep puff of his cigarette, the flat-headed man pulled out his case, grinned, and said, "One for you?" ”

"I don't smoke."

"I seriously doubt your academic level if there is a Ph.D. who doesn't smoke," the man smiled and took out a root and clamped it to his ear, "Then how did you refresh yourself when you were rushing for your paper?" ”

Tao Muye shook the canned coffee in his hand.

"Rely on this."

"Coffee...... Good thing, but it's still a little less irritating for me, and I have to rush out a 20,000-word paper in 72 hours and get into the old guy's eyes, and I can't beat it without a pack of cigarettes a day. ”

"Who is your mentor?"

"Sheng Xianfu."

When he said this, the flat-headed man's eyes showed a clear look of pride. Although he said a word about the tutor, it was obvious that he respected the professor quite a lot.

And after hearing the name Sheng Xianfu, a trace of surprise appeared on Tao Muye's face.

Academician Sheng, one of the leaders in the field of nuclear fusion engineering, was once a capable leader in the fusion project team led by Academician Lu, and after the completion of the Pangu pile, he entered the controllable fusion miniaturization project team, and later transferred to the 585 Institute as the director.

After the second-generation fusion project was listed as a century-old plan, this part is mainly led by Academician Sheng of the 585 Institute, Academician Wang Zengguang of the Nuclear Industry Group, and Academician Li Jiangang of the Luyang Institute of Physics.

The mentor is actually Academician Sheng.

Isn't that the "inheritance" of Academician Lu?

This identity is not simple.

Seeing that the man carrying the can of coffee didn't speak for a long time, the flat-headed man continued.

"Where's your mentor?"

"It's kind of a great druid."

"The Great Druid? Awesome! But speaking of which, we've all introduced this mentor, and we haven't introduced ourselves yet," the man with the flat head grinned and stretched out his right hand, "Sun Lieyang, who just graduated last year, is heading for second-generation controlled nuclear fusion." ”

Tao Muye, researching space breeding technology for cash crops such as cotton and coffee beans...... It's a half-new direction. Holding the outstretched hand and shaking it briefly, Tao Muye glanced at him, "Is it okay to talk about this kind of thing everywhere?" ”

"It's not a secret," the hand holding the cigarette butt shook, Sun Lieyang said with a smile, "This kind of century-old plan, the first ones are cannon fodder, don't you see that Professor Lu is not interested in participating?" The technical generation difference between the second-generation controllable fusion and the first-generation controllable fusion is not the same, and we directly use helium three as energy. Look at it, in a hundred years, don't want to see the results of this scientific research project. ”

Tao Muye smiled rarely.

100 Years ......

Things that are so far away that ordinary people can't see.

"What if there is an academician Lu?"

"That probability is more realistic."

Although the personalities are different, they can talk unexpectedly. However, just as the two were talking, a piercing siren suddenly pierced the silent night sky.

Frowning, Sun Lieyang stood up from the ground and patted his pants.

"What happened?"

Tao Muye glanced not far away, thought for a moment and said.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's a nearby garrison? ”

"Garrison?"

"Orbital airborne brigades, they're on the other side of the base."

Throwing the empty can in his hand into the trash can next to him, Tao Muye clapped his hands and stood up from the ground, "It's better for us not to talk about this topic, what we learned in safety class." Let's go, let's hurry up to the dormitory, if we are seen, we will inevitably be called to ask questions. ”

At the same time, at the same time as the siren sounded, a column of soldiers wearing a pitch-black mechanical exoskeleton ran towards the Xiaguang, which had been parked on the runway.

Running to the side of the temporary combat shed, three squad leaders wearing exoskeletons and a platoon commander stood behind their backs with their hands behind their backs, in front of a staff officer wearing army green combat uniforms.

"Three-Minute Combat Meeting—"

"We are a fast reaction force, and the combat meeting is on the way."

Heavy footsteps interrupted the staff officer's half-sentence, and Li Gaoliang, who was already fully armed, unlocked the mask of the exoskeleton and slammed his two fists on the conference table.

"The 1st platoon will set off with me, and I will personally lead the team in this operation!"

The staff officer frowned and reminded, "Please pay attention to your current identity. ”

"Lao Tzu's life was saved by him, what is my identity? Our orbital airborne brigade only talks about fists, not about identity! Glaring at the staff officer, Li Gaoliang withdrew his hand from the table and glanced at the other four heavily armed soldiers standing in front of the table, "Action!" ”

"Yes!"

Board all of them within a minute.

Prepare for takeoff in less than two minutes.

A pale blue arc of light erupted from behind the Hall thrusters, pulling away an arc that stretched from the runway into the sky.

Feeling the violent tremors coming from his back gradually subside, Li Gaoliang, who was sitting in the airborne cabin, locked the helmet mask and glanced at the rising altitude data. Estimating that the time was almost up, he skillfully connected to the command channel through the voice-activated system, cleared his throat, and raised his voice in a clean voice.

"Operational briefing!"

"The Osaiberg freighter was hijacked by unknown militants in the sea at 17° east longitude and 55° north latitude, and we have contacted the Baltic Shipping Company and confirmed this. After negotiations, the other side agreed that we would launch a preemptive strike on the cargo ship, provided that the personal safety of the twenty crew members on board the cargo ship was ensured. The British side has already sent Royal Air Service troops from the nearest military base, and the Danish side has also sent rescue ships from the nearest port. ”

"Our task is simple, land, pull the trigger. Do your best to ensure the safety of the hostages on board and perform a surgical strike on the deck! ”

One of the squad leaders asked.

"Do you need to leave a few live interrogations?"

"That's the last thing on the agenda."

The safety of the Swedish royal family has nothing to do with them, but Professor Lu is different.

In the event that his life is in danger - or threatened, they reserve everything in any Lord. right or non-master. The right to exercise the necessary force in the area.

As he spoke, the sound of the ship's cabin splitting came down the bulkhead, and then the red signal light in the cabin began to light up.

The Xiaguang, sailing in low orbit, has reached the skies over Northern Europe.

Jumping from a height of more than 200 kilometers, although you can't see the scenery outside the window, the gravitational pull and adrenaline that gradually return to your feet are still quite a test of courage.

"Check the 'seat belt' one last time, and don't breathe when you go down!"

"Checked!"

"Excellent! The 1 platoon is entering orbit, and the airborne program is launched! ”

Like a baby with an umbilical cord cut, the three airborne capsules catapulted out of the cargo hold of the Xiaguang along the T-shaped rails, and began to fall towards the blue planet.

"The old rules, the slogan of our brigade!"

The uniform roar and the indomitable courage echoed in the communication channel.

"Steel is our footprint!"

At this time, someone picked up the throat.

"Sir, our landing site is at sea!"

Li Gaoliang laughed twice and roared loudly.

"Then ride the waves!"
