- Stardate 2013.
Haizhou No. 12 is a junk star. It is one of the twelve ringed stars of the Riverside Star. This is a famous slum. In the impression of the gentle and elegant upper-class nobles in the capital of the Great Eagle Empire, they have always been synonymous with filthy bustards and those who harbor filth and accept filth.
The metal storm caused by the difference in temperature and pressure here is a severe weather event that even a three-year-old child knows about in the chapter of "Eagle Empire National Geographic".
Imagine that the overwhelming electronic waste and sand and gravel in the garbage star invade the earth driven by powerful cyclones, destroying everything in front of it, just like the Greek Caesar on the ancient earth who dominated the world and swept across the continents. What would it be like? A devastating sight that no living thing should come near.
In such a harsh environment, it is true that no life can survive in such a terrifying and violent nature, but human beings are always a kind of peculiar creatures that can create tools to help them achieve miracles that other life forms cannot do. .
"In the swirling black curtain covering a large area of ??the surface of Haizhou No. 12, twelve bright and dim red lights flickered in it.
The source of these twelve red lights that flickered in the storm were the twelve steel bodies. The highest crystallization of science and technology in today's human society - mobile armor!
Twelve mechas with broad shoulders and thin bodies rushed forward in the storm. The red light emitted by the back-mounted engine behind them showed that it had reached maximum afterburner. However, these mechas still appeared small and weak in the face of an almost devastating natural disaster.
Twelve mechas trudging through the storm suddenly sounded an early warning, and the already shaky formation collapsed. The mechas quickly dispersed in the storm. This frightened these mechas who were the crystallization of human society's technology. The source was a dilapidated mine that appeared not far away from the hell-like storm.
But what this mine brings is not as touching a place of rest as a traveler in the wind and rain finds a deserted inn. Instead, it announced the arrival of the most terrifying "metal explosion" in the storm!
The mine is ¡°moving¡±.
This huge mine, which was originally unknown, was now under the powerful power of the storm, like a steel behemoth, dragging its huge, bloated and ferocious body, floating and "moving" in the storm.
"Warning!" "Warning!" "Unidentified foreign object approaching warning!"
"Unit No. 1, dodge! Dodge! Beep. Beep."
"No. 3! No. 3!"
"Danger, body collision warning! Repeat, danger, body collision warning! Beep."
In the field of vision, the mine rising from the ground swallowed countless metal objects like a steel behemoth.
Beams, lathes, office chairs with mottled and twisted steel frames that cannot be seen in their original shape, cranes, and discarded fuel cylinders. They were densely packed and swirling in the huge storm, rushing towards the twelve mechas! Like twelve travelers on a long journey, facing the mudslide of a flash flood.
It¡¯s such despair.
***************
The next day. The Eagle Empire National TV Station, Riverside Sector TV Station, Donghua News and other imperial mainstream media simultaneously broadcast this news that shocked the public¡ª¡ª
".The military spokesman said that dozens of the Empire's 10th-generation mecha 'Air Cavalry' from the 333rd Wing of the Great Eagle Army were hit by a pressure storm during the routine exercise on Haizhou No. 12, and the whereabouts of the mecha are unknown. The casualties on board are unknown, and the imperial military is conducting an all-out search for this unexpected incident."
One stone stirs up many waves. Some people who were not clear about what happened to those mechas on Haizhou No. 12 garbage planet held a demonstration to protest against the imperial government's military science and technology department for squandering taxes. Some people also spontaneously paid homage to these poor pilots who were estimated to be dead or alive. Foreign media outside the empire also commented on this incident. But what attracts the most attention is not the words Big Eagle Army, but the 333rd Wing.
As we all know, the so-called 333rd Regiment of the military is actually a guard belonging to the Grand Duke Norman family. The history of the Norman family can be traced back to the founding of the empire. Among the four families that continue to exist today, they have produced three imperial heads of state and five government prime ministers. They are the legendary and extremely illustrious ducal family.
No one doubts that the Norman family has a star-like status among the imperial aristocracy, so it is precisely this common accident of a mecha crash that has become a national news and attracted so much attention that it has aroused goodwill in the empire. Those who are worried are worried, those who are in disputes are secretly happy about misfortune, and those who have ulterior motives are looking at the fire from the other side.
No matter how you say it, this emergency incident has given people a lot more things to pay attention to besides the soap opera incidents they watch after dinner.
So this incident was called the "Haizhou No. 12 Incident" at the time!
? One month after the incidentAfter entering the aftermath stage, the imperial society's enthusiasm for paying attention to this matter finally subsided. This is obviously in line with the wishes of the Imperial Military and the Norman family - no one wants to be ridiculed and ridiculed in front of their own people and foreign media because of such disastrous news.
This incident gradually subsided within a month. However, for the military and the Norman family, this month was no less than a constant struggle every day.
A month later, a piece of black box information extracted from the wreckage of the mecha that crashed in the storm was placed on the desk of the incident investigation team at the Imperial Cabinet Office.
In the office hall, there were several military officials who were over fifty years old. The gold stars on their epaulettes and the dense and dazzling wall of medals on their chests all exude a heavy aura. But the most eye-catching object in the hall was not these old military men with shocking aura, but a woman with a black mole at the corner of her mouth.
She was wearing a black suit without any wrinkles. Graceful and elegant seems not to be enough to describe the temperament she exudes from the inside out. To describe it, a mysterious flower species called violet from the ancient earth era may be able to explain her mysterious nobility.
She is the contemporary grand duchess of the Duke of Normandy, her surname is Su. In the entire Great Eagle Empire, it is estimated that there are no more than a hundred people who have met the duchess. If you were to make a list of these nearly a hundred people, you would probably see that some of their names often appear in the empire's mainstream newspapers, media and magazines. above, known to all. Of course, for more than half of them, the public doesn't even know their names, who they are, and what their jobs are.
However, as traditional forces disintegrate as human beings expand into the universe, and the state apparatus has relatively declined, and they have risen and mastered social assets and power, every move and thought can affect the lives of thousands of people in all aspects at all times. Life.
They are called - "nobles". But this is not an aristocracy in the traditional sense. It is the collective name for the small triangular level located above the pyramid in the entire hierarchy of human society. It is the collective name for those who hold power in modern human society.
The hall went dark, and the projector played information from the wreckage in front of the curtain. People were quiet. Because the scene in the picture shocked everyone's attention.
In the recorded footage, the mine is like a steel behemoth dragging along the surface in a raging storm. Its ferocious "body" continues to emit a dense metal frenzy, covering the formation of mechas.
This was a scene of death. A mecha was instantly smashed through the cockpit by a beam that was as long as a basketball court and was cut in half. The pilot and the pilot were reduced to a pile of rubble.
There was also a mecha that passed through the metal rain, its whole body covered with iron drills and steel pestles, and ran forward for a few steps. Then it fell down with sparks flashing all over its body, and was finally dragged into the wind. Become a wave that makes up the storm.
There were also mechas that fired cannons at the metal rain, but were quickly dismembered by the metal frenzy.
It¡¯s like there is an invisible god of death, engulfed in the metal storm, harvesting the empire¡¯s advanced mechas and harvesting the young or weather-beaten lives of these pilots.
The most unbearable thing to witness was that a mecha was about to escape into the pit given by God in front of it when it was facing the metal rush. Unexpectedly, a crane swinging arm flying in the storm swept over and instantly swept the mecha. The mecha flew into the storm, as if it was swallowed by a giant beast.
Seeing this, almost everyone in the hall couldn't bear to see it. Although human society has developed to its current level, under the harsh natural conditions, no one dares to truly say that "man can conquer nature."
But those present still have to keep their eyes open to watch. The recorder screen jumped again, touching everyone's hearts. The mecha that everyone was waiting for appeared in the recorder's sight.
That is a mecha numbered 9. Different from the black color of other mechas, the number 9 on its painting is red.
It is different, and precisely because it is different, everyone in the room wants to hold their hearts in their hands.
At this time, the mecha was using the booster on its back thruster, staggering as low as possible on the ground.
The huge air resistance and propeller are obviously superior to the thrust of other mechas, so this mecha can travel close to the ground to avoid the most dangerous metal chaos zone in mid-air.
But this has obviously consumed all the strength of the mecha, just like a rich lady, carefully holding the hem of her skirt, walking on the dirt road in the countryside. Perhaps this rich lady has exhausted all her strength to maintain this decent but terrible state. He used the strength to frown so as not to make himself dirty.
People in the hall looked at the projection and it was clear thatThere was no time to appreciate this kind of ballet on the tip of the knife. The Duchess had been keeping a tight and serious expression. At this moment, her expression finally collapsed. The fingers of her fist sank deeply into the flesh of her palm.
The palms of the old monsters present were slightly sweaty, and their breathing became even heavier.
I don¡¯t know who broke the dead silence with an exclamation. On the recorder screen, the doom of the mecha finally arrived. The main body of the mine dragged towards the red 9 mecha. Like a dinosaur about to step on a person as high as a toe!
People don¡¯t dare to show their anger.
The screen was shaking violently. The mecha pilot carrying the recorder was obviously very skilled. At this time, he rushed towards the mecha regardless of his own safety, as if he wanted to save it. But the Mud Bodhisattva couldn't save himself when he crossed the river. At that moment, the Red 9 mecha was about to be crushed into pieces by the main body of the mine.
A dark shadow. Then he jumped out of the invisible place of the storm without any warning.
No one could see clearly who the black shadow was. The black shadow looked like a bandit who had robbed a flower girl. He held the Red 9 mecha on his shoulders and blasted the weapon behind it with his backhand. The propeller then suddenly jumped forward and rushed towards the main body of the mine that was being dragged and floated.
"Seeking death!"
"Crazy!"
This was the gasping cry of someone in the room.
Under the violent shaking of the recorder, the black shadow that seemed to have "hijacked" the Red 9 mecha was vaguely visible.
Everyone present swore that they had never seen such an "ugly" mecha!
The main body is an irregular ball, which looks like it was transformed from an old single-person landing cabin. It is covered with pits and repair marks. The arms of the mecha are even more terrible. The hydraulic transmission structure of the exoskeleton and even the crankshaft are clearly exposed. Including the two legs and feet, they seemed to be pieced together.
In comparison, the Imperial Red 9 mecha that he held captive at his waist was like facing a well-dressed aristocrat with a perfect figure, while the tattered mecha could no longer be said to be a naked country bumpkin. , and can only be regarded as a disabled person!
But the next scene left everyone stunned.
It was this ugly scum that blasphemed the fluid aesthetics of mechas in their eyes. It rushed into the suspended ruins of the mine with the red 9 mecha, sometimes crawling like a spider with its legs bent and anti-jointed, avoiding the steel flying bolts. , shuttled among the remaining steel building frames in the ruins of the mine, avoiding the attack of metal waterfalls.
Sometimes jumping left and right, running with big feet, jumping, dormant, protruding, and running.
With the red 9 mecha in its arms, it looked like this disabled man dancing with his arms around a beautiful woman in the rainstorm.
"Waltz in the storm."
How can you not get your feet wet while dancing in the storm and carrying another mecha? Therefore, this mecha was often smashed in storms and splashed with sparks. He was even hit in the chest by the wreckage of a giant bus at high speed. He was immediately knocked to the ground, with a large area of ??his chest dented. It was once thought that the pilot among them had died.
Who knows that it swayed a bit, then stood up again and fled with the red 9 mecha. Only then did everyone realize that this ugly mecha was not only crooked, but its cockpit was also fucking crooked!
Next, people gradually discovered that this mecha was not just a piece of cake. It's not that it's more advanced than the fourth-generation Imperial mecha it holds hostage, but it benefits from this mecha's understanding of the terrain! When it is time to lie down, there is no ambiguity. When encountering a bunker, the mecha can always find the most appropriate opportunity to exploit the opportunity. Its familiarity with the terrain and grasp of timing can be said to be the reason why this mecha can sustain for so long in the storm with another mecha.
Whenever it is impossible to avoid the metal turbulence, this mecha can always avoid the most fatal damage to him at the most critical moment.
Until the recorder is interrupted. The last scene was that the mecha carrying the recorder also suffered heavy damage and suddenly fell to the ground. Then the shabby and ugly mecha walked all the way with Red 9. Although it had broken arms and legs, it was still running so fast! Riding away in a jiffy.
The lights came on again.
There was no sound in the room for a long time.
The Duchess took a deep breath, suppressed the mood that had been unable to calm down since just now, looked around at everyone present, and said, "What do you think?"
"Shit luck. Great!"
An old man with a magnificent wall of medals on his chest was silent and said, "I have no intention of judging this person's mecha level, because some of the skills are even too unfamiliar to me. Some mistakes may not even be made by novices in the academy. However, I have to say, compared to this car impressiveMecha, it can be said to be rare to be able to do this. Have you seen its ugly structure? Please forgive me for using the word 'structure' instead of 'design'. These structures are completely inconsistent with fluid mechanics, but he But he was able to shuttle through the storm. In addition to his mastery of the terrain, there was another thing that impressed people, that is, the degree of God's favor for him! "
"If it weren't for the dispensable equipment of this ugly stupid guy and the crooked cockpit, this mecha would have been scrapped long ago, and the people inside would have passed away to heaven," the voice of the person who spoke next Calmly, but with a bit of mockery, he echoed, "This is purely a farce. I am opposed to spending manpower and material resources to investigate the origin and whereabouts of this person! Although we need to thank and repay those who rescued the Red 9 Mecha, But this also requires the other party to be willing. If the other party disappears out of thin air, it means that he has given up the reward! "
The venue was in uproar for a while. Rather than being shocked by the video, people were more lamenting that the mecha was like a toad in a mud pond, struggling desperately to survive.
And the pilot of the shabby mecha didn't know what it meant to arouse the interest of these big people in the room, even with such a tease.
For those officials in the empire who were desperately trying to climb up, it was a turning point in fate. For consortium businessmen, it may mean inexhaustible power and wealth. For an ordinary person driving a broken mecha, it may represent an opportunity that even three generations of his ancestors have not encountered, or it may be impossible to return to a peaceful life in his lifetime.
Of course, all this was short-lived due to the lack of information about the pilot.
"No matter whether there is something strange about this person or not, judging from the recorder, the only thing that will not change is that in the process of avoiding the storm, he showed his familiarity with the local terrain of Haizhou No. 12 and used it to The terrain has repeatedly avoided tidal peaks, which is definitely not something that a newly arrived pilot can do. Therefore, he should be a local of the garbage star. "An intelligence specialist put the final conclusion on the case." But in the past month, we have never found the broken mecha, let alone any information about the pilot inside. "
The Duchess nodded and stood up. A security consultant immediately accompanied him. When the dust settled, all she wanted was the result.
Arriving at the door, she bowed lightly to the people in the room, "I'll thank you all for the subsequent investigation and what happened during this period."
The crowd stood up and watched the Grand Duchess leave. Then everyone dispersed one after another.
Only a middle-aged man with a stern face and wearing a general's uniform was still sitting where he was, and the final scene of the record still remained on the crystal screen.
There were a few people in the room who didn't leave. They didn't leave because they saw the middle-aged man still sitting there thinking. The "Gold Leaf Violet" Imperial Combat Hero Medal on his front is daunting. There are only 5 people in the Empire who have this honor. So his silence naturally has an unusual power.
The middle-aged man¡¯s five fingers were touching each other, and his expression and facial expression were hidden under his high ridge of hooked nose. After a while, his low and strangely charming voice came from the already empty room.
"This is not a coincidence."
The people who stayed behind looked at each other.
Because they understand that if everything recorded on the crystal screen is not a coincidence, what does it mean? What an astonishing conclusion that is.
"find him!"
This sentence by the imperial battle hero Tian Yinzhui will never be written into the official normal meeting minutes.
However, this sentence was issued shortly after the instruction.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A special team of the Empire¡¯s advanced Harrier space reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with sophisticated personnel, drags a beautiful tail of fire towards the gray junk star in the universe.
Run away!
*************
The capital star of the Eagle Empire.
The Duke's Palace.
This modern retro-style building faces the meticulously manicured lawn and connects to the imperial blue sky.
There was a girl standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor.
The girl was wearing a simple and slim-fitting V-neck velvet home dress, with exposed skin like Shuang Saixue. She was the female TV anchor in the empire who was dubbed the Otaku Goddess and had become so popular recently. When I saw her, no matter her figure or appearance, Mr. Urban is very jealous.
Her beauty is natural and contains no impurities.
A knock on the door sounded from behind.
The person who opened the door and walked in was the butler in a suit and leather suit from the Duke's Palace.
Seeing the girl standing next to the large French window,Feeling profound, the housekeeper sighed from the bottom of his heart. No matter how optimistic and cheerful the child is, he must have witnessed that hellish and terrifying scene, and I am afraid he will be depressed for a period of time.
"Ms. Nolan. Your Red 9 mecha has been repaired by Nunn Company. They said that depending on the severity of the damage, it will take three months at the latest to fully repair it. This mecha saved you. Even if it cannot be used in the future, it can be placed in the Fuzhong warehouse as a permanent collection and souvenir."
"I understand." The girl nodded gently, her voice like a firefly on still water.
The housekeeper hesitated to speak, but finally said, "Although I don't know whether I should say it or not, I should still say it, miss, everyone will experience some terrible things, but those terrible things should eventually turn into The driving force of growth, not the shadow, I hope you will get out of these shadows soon, this is just a necessary stage.¡±
The girl looked out the sunny window, her beautiful face looming in the reflection of the glass, ".They are all dead."
¡°¡±
"We are the same mecha. But we are not the same. Which generation of mecha is my Red 9, thirteen or fourteen? If I was riding a mecha with the same performance as theirs at that time, maybe now, I will die too."
Manager Zhang found that he could not face the girl's clear eyes, lowered his head and said, "This is different. We must prioritize your safety, Miss. No matter at any time."
"Is it because of my identity?"
"Because my status is superior to others, everything I was born in, the protection and resources I received were vast compared to others. So in the same situation, they all died, but I was still alive. So I Must it be more noble than their lives?¡±
Manager Zhang shook his head, "The death of those pilots does not mean that the young lady's life is more noble than theirs. We did not abandon them, and it is not your fault. It was the disaster that caused such consequences. They died because It was a disaster, and the reason why the lady did not die was because someone saved your life at that time. Otherwise, no matter whether the lady was driving a more advanced mecha, the crash rate would be quite high in that case. So, please don¡¯t think too much. Well, in the eyes of your family, and even in our eyes, Miss¡¯s life is indeed more precious than anyone else¡¯s.¡±
"In the past month of investigation, we still couldn't find any trace of the mecha and the pilot. So today, people from the intelligence department came. They knew that the lady didn't want to see them, so they entrusted me to ask on their behalf whether the lady still remembers it. More clues, such as the gender, age, appearance, or other characteristics of the pilot at the time. Otherwise, the people in the investigation department will really miss this clue. "
Manager Zhang could clearly see that when he finished speaking, the color in the girl's eyes became much brighter.
"What do you mean when you say no trace was found?"
"It was him and his mecha that disappeared out of thin air on that junk star, as if they had never appeared before."
"In this month, apart from finding some clues about that night, we have no clue."
The woman suddenly fell silent.
Manager Zhang seemed to sense her slight disappointment, nodded slightly, and left through the door.
The door is closed.
She looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the clear sky of the Capital City and the lawn of the Duke's Palace. The reflection in the glass windows reflected her eyes, as if they were showing the scene through the storm.
Under the star-shrouded night, the ugly mecha was half-broken and exposed to electric sparks, standing in front of her equally badly damaged mecha. But it was such an ugly, incomplete and tattered mecha that had just dragged her through the storm and survived the impossible.
But then she became deeply wary. She understood her identity, and she also understood that this mecha was obviously not a mecha with an orthodox background in the empire. Such agility and shabby appearance were probably just to deceive others. What was the purpose of snatching her away in the storm?
She didn¡¯t believe that there would happen to be such a mecha nearby doing something brave. So this may be a subtle operation with an ulterior purpose to kidnap members of the Norman family.
So she was biting her teeth in the cockpit, her graceful figure leaning against the extremely ironed seat, her hands crossed to protect her tall and arrogant chest outlined by her tights, just as she was desperately on guard and planning what to do. The cockpit was opened by this wretched mecha, and the other party became lustful when he saw it. He bit his tongue and committed suicide to avoid being sullied by the villain who succeeded and threatened his family.
The tattered mecha moved again, and there was no excuse for holding it hostage and committing inhumane actions. But as it comes, stepped forward and turned towards the boundless night.
The outline of the departing mecha in the night was reflected in her dark brown eyes, like a sculpture.
During this month, she was often in a trance and could not sleep due to this. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
