under the mask

Passengers who came and went didn't pay much attention to these students who appeared suddenly.Most of the planets in the Goddess galaxy have similar climates, and the planets of advanced civilizations even have the same school day, which happens to avoid the hottest two months.

"The No. [-] military depot has been opened, Corporal John, you lead a column, Corporal Rufu, you lead a second column," a man in a warrant officer's uniform began to assign tasks to his soldiers after the handover of the city police: "I will bring With the remaining two columns, now, disband."

"Yes, sir!"

After such a brief conversation, Li Wei's column followed Corporal John into the passage on the right, and continued to take the elevator to go deeper underground.Underground buildings have unavoidable flaws, that is, the huge pressure brought by the closed environment, no matter how spacious, bright or gorgeous the surrounding decoration is, people will instinctively feel the oppression from the air.

The four walls of the elevator box are virtual window views that land on the ground. As the elevator descends, the scenery outside the virtual window also changes rapidly. Everything in the city in the field of vision looks so realistic—maybe it can indeed relieve people's tension and depression to a certain extent, but it is not real after all.

"It's awesome..."

"I heard that those underground research institutes are like this..."

There were people whispering around, Li Wei looked at the corporal, who was holding a gun across his chest without looking sideways, his military posture was as tall as a statue, and he didn't seem to hear the students talking next to him at all.It can only be said that the Imperial University Military Academy is only a semi-militarized management, and it is not actually a real military academy, so the management is not too strict.

After less than 30 seconds, the elevator finally stopped.Li Wei looked down at the time and judged that the military shipyard should be more than 600 meters underground. The aerospace hall just now is on the third or fourth floor underground. Ordinary civilian starships do not need too long slides to start, and they are all small ships. , the space required for the shipyard will not be too large, but the military shipyard is different. Large-scale ships are often more than 500 meters in diameter, so the space required for the shipyard is very considerable. Only by digging deep underground can there be enough up and down distance To create a slide, so that large ships can get enough acceleration when they start.

"Imperial Military Warehouse No. 1, the level is classified, please insert the identity verification key, and please scan the pupils at the same time." The cold voice of the machine sounded in the elevator.

Li Wei narrowed his eyes, this voice...it doesn't feel like the mechanical voice of an elevator customer service robot.

Corporal John walked to the side of the elevator door, where there was a gap in the originally smooth metal surface, and the inch-sized piece of metal slid to one side, revealing the verification window inside, and he took out a small piece similar to The metal strip of the badge, slipping it into the card slot below the authentication window, before bringing his face up to the scanner above and waiting for a light to sweep past his eyes.

The whole process took only a few seconds, and all the freshmen raised their heads to watch with great interest.Although quite a few of them are children of powerful families, their life circles are relatively simple. Scenes like this have only been seen on TV or movies before.

"Identification completed, Corporal John, good morning." The cold, gender-neutral voice reappeared, this time with human-like emotions.

Corporal John seemed to be accustomed to this, and he nodded solemnly and said hello: "Hello, ma'am."

It turned out to be an intelligent robot with a female personality!Everyone was surprised.

In fact, such a robot can also be called an intelligent brain, but in Li Wei's view, a real intelligent brain must be like the central or military headquarters, or a magical creation like Hall that combines the wisdom of humans and optical brains.He couldn't help suspecting that maybe this voice was the famous No. [-] intelligence brain of the military, as if in the central government, including the upper and lower parliaments and the palace, everything was under the supervision of that intelligence brain.Wherever they show up, it's no surprise.

However, until the last student walked out of the elevator, that voice did not appear again, as if she was really just a slightly intelligent customer service program, without triggering conditions, there would no longer be various human dialogues.

At this level, the surrounding decoration is still fairly bright, but it is already quiet like an underground tomb.Everyone closed their mouths and lined up again, waiting for the other two lines of freshmen to gather.

Currently they are standing in a relatively spacious corridor. The silver walls and ground will make people dizzy after a long time, so there is a small green block every other section of the road, and white lights are embedded above the head, emitting light. Mechanical cold light.On the left is a row of elevators, and on the right is the gate of the shipyard that reaches to the ceiling. Each door above has a small electronic screen that displays the basic information of the ships in the shipyard, and a specific key is required to open it.

After all the freshmen gathered, the lieutenant took out his identity key and opened the gate of the shipyard closest to them.The door of the same color as the wall slowly opened, silently revealing a huge space several times higher than the corridor inside, and the technological monster parked quietly inside.Everyone couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration, in order to witness this great miracle of the space age with their own eyes.

That's right, this is an honor only for freshmen of the Imperial University-the interstellar transport ship Paramount, which is only open to members other than the royal family at this time of year, with its dazzling silver and blue body, overlooking His gaze, as well as the extremely exquisite Jialai Vance royal family logo on his head-incomparable and supreme, human beings seem so small in front of him, so they can only look up.

"Freshmen, this is your honor." The lieutenant raised the corner of his mouth and touched the bright corner of the Paramount lightly.

Li Wei was quite calm.In Andrew's study, he had seen some old photos. As the chief commander of the empire, Andrew had accompanied the former emperor's family countless times, and he had visited many planets in the Goddess galaxy on this large ship in front of him.From his 20s all the way into his 50s, those photos symbolize the great honor Andrew once had.But just like the Paramount, which has not traveled far for many years, the existence of Andrew has been forgotten by many people.

It has to be said that the serious royal family car is different from the general luxury starship.In addition to the cockpit and observation deck, the escape cabin at the stern, and the warehouse at the bottom of the ship, the Paramount also includes a villa cabin with a luxurious private courtyard and garden exclusively for members of the royal family, 20 large cabins, and 25 small cabins. Cabins, 10 cosmic restaurants, 21 interstellar-themed restaurants, 13 lounges, swimming pools, constant temperature convection pools, audio-visual rooms, casinos, 1500 luxury suites, 3000 luxury double rooms, and 3000 standard rooms, including starship work There are more than enough survivors and soldiers, as well as more than 3 new students.

Li Wei and three other students were assigned to a luxurious double room. The furniture inside was in the style of half a century ago. Everything was orderly and clean, from the hand-embroidered pillows on the bed to the tasseled lampshade on the table. Everything is dignified and elegant.Andrew likes old-fashioned things, so despite the advanced technology of the empire, Spal's house still retains many furnishings from old aristocratic families, and Li Wei is very used to it.However, the other three people were obviously not used to it. They either sat on the sofa frowning, or looked around curiously.

"I know you, you are the one from the Spar family." The teenager sitting on the sofa said suddenly, startling the other two.

Li Wei looked at him with no expression, and replied for a while, "I'm the one from the Spar family, and which one are you?"

The boy stretched his legs and sneered: "You are too narrow-minded... My name is Nicholas. Speaking of which, Amelia and I are somewhat related."

Nicholas... the winner?It's really an arrogant name... Li Wei picked up a chair and sat down, and replied without interest: "I see, you are that arrogant cousin of Amelia, I only heard her mention it once."

The smile on Nicholas's face faded, but the sarcasm in his eyes grew stronger: "Her? Of course she doesn't bother to mention me... the great Miss Amelia... their Muka family is still a matrilineal family in primitive society in the 31st century! A group of utterly stupid men are led around by a woman, our Yinkui family is not like this!"

Li Wei didn't speak, feeling a little unhappy.He looked at Nicholas, who had the same brown curly hair as Emilia, but it was cut short so it was not obvious, handsome and slightly gloomy features, but pure blue eyes, unlike Amelia It is a charming blue color.Levi heard from Amy that the brown curly hair was inherited from her father, and the blue eyes were the symbol of the Muka family.It seems that Emilia's father comes from the Inqui family, and their logo is brown curly hair.

"It's very shameful for a man to attribute all the reasons for his incompetence to women, but he forgets that these women support the whole family," Li Wei snorted, "If I were you, I would try my best to prove that I can Let go of their burdens instead of dismissing their sacrifices."

Nicklus choked, and glared at him angrily, but unexpectedly, he did not continue to provoke.

After the targeted conversation between the two, the atmosphere in the whole room dropped to freezing point, and the other two cautiously huddled in a corner of the room and talked in a low voice, not even daring to meet their eyes.

Li Wei was not very happy, but fortunately, as long as he and this group of people stayed together for four and a half hours, he could still bear it with a little patience.He would be content, he thought, as long as the college didn't make his roommates behave in the same way.

After four and a half hours of sailing, the Paramount finally sent a broadcast to land on the secondary star.Many people woke up suddenly from sleepy eyes, looking for clothes and shoes in a panic. They were all woke up by their families early in the morning, not to mention that they were about to embark on a new journey of life, and they could only rely on the time when they couldn't sleep at night. Sleep for a few hours.

Nicholas stood up from the sofa and straightened his unwrinkled clothes.He squinted at Li Wei, who was sitting on the soft chair with his eyes closed, and hummed, "It's already here."

"En." Li Wei responded lightly, opened his eyes and stood up.He was about the same size as Nicholas, and he belonged to the taller group of people of the same age. He was wearing a straight black uniform, with dark black soft hair and green eyes, and he looked very unique.

Nicholas frowned. He didn't know how to describe that feeling, but his eyes turned to Levi involuntarily, and the more he looked at him, the more resentful he became.

If it wasn't for this accidental arrangement, he would never have had the chance to meet such a person.Since he was born, all the attention has been on his cousin. The Yinkui family can only be squeezed into the middle nobles of the upper class of the empire by virtue of their marriage with the Muka family... The men in their family are always lower than A woman from the Muka family.And no matter how good he is, he will be stepped on by Amelia because of his father's willingness to be a vassal.

What cousin, but a stepping stone.I'm afraid that lady would frown even if she stepped on him!

This kind of black, repressed jealousy has been bothering him since he became sensible. It is not that he has never thought of "a man should be more generous, why bother with a woman", but facing unfair treatment time after time , Even a saint should have a trace of blood.

Entering the military academy this time is his chance.

Li Wei glanced at him and walked out of the room first.A kid like Nicholas is actually easy to guess.Even if he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he can still guess the plot after watching too many soap operas.The affairs of the Muka and Inqui families are well-known in the aristocratic circle, but because of this, Nichols will hate Emilia even more.

But this is ugly power, you can hate him and despise him-but as long as you are in this circle, you have to compromise with him.

Li Wei didn't hate Nicholas, at least as a man, he didn't give up his pursuit easily.Of course, this doesn't mean that he, like this boy, despises Emilia as a woman in his heart.Emilia... has surpassed women...

This is what Nicholas still doesn't understand.

The welcome ceremony of Emperor University, or the entire auxiliary star, was beyond the expectation of the freshmen.Even if they had heard it mentioned by their siblings at home, seeing it with their own eyes was completely different.

Nearly [-] black students of Imperial University neatly formed a phalanx on the square of the shipyard. In the distance, there were more soldiers lined up in the vast land filled with yellow sand, and a phalanx of nearly a thousand mechs behind them.

Li Wei followed the team out of the starship and walked down the stairs. Suddenly, the sound of bitter wind passed over their heads. They looked up one after another, and saw a row of dark blue battleships flying over their heads like the tail of a meteor. At the same time, more than a hundred The silver fighter plane seemed to be separated from a battleship, and swooped towards them in a crossed direction——when it was about to approach, it rose rapidly, rotated in a circle, and changed more than a dozen tactical actions in a blink of an eye.

These fighter planes, like silver bullets, changed formations in the air, completely attracting the attention of the freshmen.Immediately afterwards, two fighter planes with red totems suddenly flew out from these fighter planes. The two fighter planes made an astonishingly difficult tactical maneuver in the middle of the circular formation. , these red traces form the complex pattern of the Imperial University emblem with their almost acrobatic and incredible tactical movements. Although this kind of performance is too fancy for a fighter jet, it undoubtedly shows the pilot's extremely superb driving skills—— —The most rare thing is that the actions of the two fighters are exactly the same as if looking in a mirror, and the beauty of symmetry is reflected in them to the extreme!

Like the people around him, Li Wei kept chasing them with his neck sore.It's really incredible. He never paid attention to fighter jets before, because the earth also has them, and they don't seem to reflect the technological level of the space age.

But now it seems that he is short-sighted after all.

"Want to see who their pilots are?"

"It must be a very famous soldier..."

"You can ask the teacher at that time... They will definitely show up in a while..."

Everyone is discussing the pilots of the two fighter jets enthusiastically, looking forward to the welcome program after this.As expected, after the 10-minute air show of warships and fighter jets, they landed on one side of the square one after another, and then all the pilots and pilots walked down, marching neatly towards the phalanx in the square. go.

Li Wei's eyes quickly swept across the group of people who didn't know whether they were soldiers or students, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

The two people walking at the back were wearing identical pilot uniforms and protective helmets, but one of them took off his helmet as he walked, revealing his sweaty young face and short dazzling fiery red hair .

"It's them—!!" A boy behind him shouted in a shrill voice, "That's the uniform of a fighter pilot!!"

Li Wei frowned in the screaming crowd.That's right, it's that person!pilot?Use a great sword?
