Star Planter

In space three hundred light-years away from Starbreaker, a B-class dreadnought starship is sailing on a predetermined course at a constant speed.

The Galactic Federation divides the starships from high to low. The highest-level starship is the S-class space fortress, the second is the A-class annihilation starship, followed by the B-class dreadnought starship, and the C-class heavy ship. Install starships and D-class patrol starships.

Because of the threat of the dark beast, human beings are basically in a state of being soldiers.There is not much difference between military starships and civilian starships.It's just that the military starship's side and tail will be sprayed with the military serial number, while the civilian starship's tail will be painted with the starship's logo.

The starship in front of him does not have the serial number of the military department, but only has a bloody iris logo on the tail.If anyone from the Federation Seventh Legion was here, they would know that this starship belonged to Major Lu Li, the captain of the Seventh Legion's First Combat Brigade.

Three days ago, Lu Li and his 39th Legion's First Combat Battalion ended their garrison on Karn Planet and had a month's rest. Among the 36 subordinate sentinels, except for three sentries who chose to go home to visit relatives, the remaining [-] sentries were all on Lu Li's starship due to reasons such as running out of wages, no credit points, nowhere to go, and unable to survive (...) .In order to support this group of subordinates, and even "support" this private starship, Lu Li had to use his rest time to find ways to make money.

Escorting the "smuggler" Zhao Jingguang from Earth to Poxing this time was originally a task outsourced to the civilian mercenary group by the Central Supervision Department, but was snatched by Lu Li through his personal relationship.The reward for the mission is [-] B-level standard energy stones, which is enough for the Iris to make a normal round trip to break the star, and there are [-] energy stones left.Under the huge economic pressure, Lu Liyan's hair-plucking attributes were brought into full play, and the "victim" who bore the brunt was Zhao Jingguang.

Starship Lower Deck Brigade

Zhao Jingguang, who was short and fat, with a bald head and a protruding belly, was lying on the ground with a face full of horror. A foot in black combat boots stepped on his stomach and gently crushed it.Zhao Jingguang screamed like a pig, and the owner of the foot bent down, revealing a feminine face.As Lu Li's adjutant, Shen Shen also shouldered various duties such as intelligence officer and interrogator.He put his hands in his pockets, and he wore the black military uniform of the Seventh Legion casually. He stared at Zhao Jingguang with a half-smile, and asked slowly, "Three months ago, on March 1021, 3 in the star calendar, you brought Fifteen mob sentries attacked the central tower of Planet N-15, kidnapped 3 unbound guides, and sold them to the Red Spider Star Bandits..."

Trembling, Zhao Jingguang interrupted Shen Shen's words, and rushed to answer: "I don't know, I'm only responsible for the guide, not caring about the guide's whereabouts."

Shen Shen moved his feet from Zhao Jingguang's stomach to his face, and blocked his mouth. "I don't care where the guides go, that's the business of the Central Supervision Department. What I'm curious about is that you sold the four guides for [-] A-level standard energy stones, but I read the information from the Central Supervision Department, and they only confiscated [-] energy stones." Stone, where are you hiding the two thousand energy stones?"

"No, it didn't sell for five thousand, only three thousand." Zhao Jingguang cried.

"Then you mean that the Red Spider Star Pirates lied to me?" Shen Shen asked casually with a raised voice at the end.

"Yes... no... I don't know." Zhao Jingguang babbled nonsense for a while, with a humble expression mixed with tears and snot on his face, "I really don't know." He seemed afraid that Shen Shen would not believe him, and suddenly turned his head towards On the other side of the confinement room, he cursed and swore desperately: "Major Lu, I really don't know, there are really only three thousand energy stones for three thousand energy stones."

It was Lu Li, the owner of the starship, whom Zhao Jingguang called Major Lu.Also wearing a black military uniform, Lu Li dressed neatly.The dark green shirt was buttoned up to the Adam's apple, and the dark silver tie was wrinkled without a trace.Black coat, silver collar patch, stiff military trousers and shiny black military boots.Lu Li was dressed so standard that he was ready to be interviewed by the President of the Federation at any time. Even the strictest central inspector would definitely not be able to find any faults in his military appearance.

At this moment, Lu Li was sitting on a chair in the corner, holding a copy of "Notes on Plant Cultivation in the Ecological Cabin", reading it with gusto.Zhao Jingguang's cry attracted his attention, he closed the book in his hand, looked at Zhao Jingguang gently, "I believe in you."

Two tears of gratitude were forcefully squeezed out by Zhao Jingguang. Lu Li looked at him sympathetically, and his tone became more gentle, "But I'm sorry, my adjutant doesn't believe you. You know, a good officer must learn to listen to the opinions of his subordinates." , so it is inconvenient for me to interfere with Adjutant Shen's behavior. I express my sympathy for the harm Adjutant Shen has caused you, and if it is finally determined that Adjutant Shen's intelligence has gone wrong, I will ask him to apologize to you."

Gratitude froze on Zhao Jingguang's face, Shen Shen kicked him impatiently, and lazily said: "Did you hear that, if I'm wrong, I will apologize to you."

Zhao Jingguang clutched his stomach and wailed again, "I want to sue you for violating my personal safety to the Central Supervision Department."

Lu Li had a look of regret on his face, and told him kindly, "Mr. Zhao is busy with smuggling business, so he probably doesn't have time to study federal laws. According to Article 18, Item 63 of the Federal Law, only federal citizens have the right to personal safety. Mr. Zhao Because of the attack on the central tower, kidnapping, trafficking and harming the guide, he has already been deprived of his citizenship rights, I think the Central Supervision Department will not accept Mr. Zhao's accusation."

Shen Shen chuckled, and suggested maliciously: "Since he is not a citizen of the Federation, sending him to Poxing is too time-consuming. According to the usual practice, just find a lair of space dark beasts and throw it in, anyway. Both the Central Inspectorate and the Mercenary Corps do this."

Lu Li looked as if he was going to seriously consider this proposal, Zhao Jingguang didn't care about pretending to be dead, turned over and hugged Shen Shen's thigh tightly, and shouted: "I said, I said, I have two thousand energy stones hidden in the broken room. The Ruins of Star No. 36, coordinates N22E45."

Shen Shen pulled out his leg from his arms, lightly kicked Zhao Jingguang and passed out.He looked at Lu Li as if asking for credit, "Boss, two thousand A-grade standard energy stones should be enough to supply the Iris for three months."

Lu Li stood up, "If you don't consider the energy consumption of the external eco-pod."

Shen Shen grimaced, "Boss, do you really want to hang an ecological cabin outside the Iris? We are a B-class dreadnought starship, a combat ship, and the ecological cabin is only made by civilian starships. It's too embarrassing."

Lu Li nodded obediently, "It's a bit ugly. Then, Adjutant Shen, please help me find a way to solve everyone's needs for vegetables and fruits on the Iris. I'm already in debt and going bankrupt. By the way, if I remember correctly, Adjutant Shen seems to be the favorite one to eat every time?"

Shen Shen immediately changed his expression, and hugged Lu Li dog-leggedly to show his loyalty, "Boss, I was wrong, it's because I'm not good at aesthetics, let's hang the ecological cabin. Hang one on the top, one on the bottom, and one on the left and right. There are several more that can be towed behind the tail.”

Lu Li glanced at him appreciatively, then stroked Shen Shen's dog's head with a teachable expression.

The two left the confinement room, and Wei Na, another adjutant who was guarding the door, released the white noise transmitter in his hand.Wei Na is a relatively rare female sentinel. She is tall and fit, shaved, and her skin is close to brown, showing her blood other than Chinese.She was not wearing a military uniform, but a simple camisole and black khaki trousers clearly outlined her powerful figure.

Shen Shen's eyes fell on the white noise transmitter, his expression was exaggerated, "Is the conversation just now considered confidential?"

The white noise transmitter is a gadget developed by the military. The unique audio can not only make the sentry feel quiet, but also reduce the possibility of the sentry's conversation being eavesdropped.

Wei Na stared at him blankly, and said, "Considering that a distinguished guest is visiting the Iris, I must uphold the honor of the Seventh Legion and the First Combat Team."

Shen Shen: "..."

Wei Na was about to say something, but at the side of the aisle, another of Lu Li's subordinates, Jiang Bo, ran over excitedly.

"Boss, boss, little taro has found a heavy ship of the Xika Star Thief Group not far ahead. The brothers are all ready and waiting for the boss' instructions." Jiang Bo said while gearing up, wishing to rush out immediately .

Shen Shen looked at him sympathetically, Jiang Bo was puzzled: "What's wrong? Isn't it our habit to snatch star robbers when we meet them?"

Lu Li coughed and corrected him: "As a federal soldier, we must resolutely attack star robbers, a malignant tumor that undermines the security of the federation. Our actions are to uphold the federation's laws and the justice of mankind."

Wei Na: "..."

Shen Shen: "...for the law."

Jiang Bo: "...for justice."

In the name of righteousness, Lu Li quickly gave an order, "Jiang Bo, go and tell Little Taro to turn on the camouflage mode. The first team arranges particle interception, and the second and third teams prepare to forcibly board the ship."

The so-called camouflage mode is to change the appearance of the starship in the eyes of the opponent through a visual mimicry. To a certain extent, this is a very practical technology when going out.

Jiang Bo nodded, and immediately thought about which Star Thief group they should play this time?Is it a red spider?Hell?Or the silent group?As a patient with difficult choices, Jiang Bo decided to stay with his old acquaintance, Red Spider. "Should we hang up the banner of the Starscream?"

"..." Lu Li taught Jiang Bo earnestly, "From a long-term point of view, we should not focus on a sheep, but give the sheep some time to recuperate. Last time we let the red spider be targeted by the federation, let's do it again Xika, Starscream will probably be in a difficult situation. Let's change to a sheep this time."

Shen Shen and Jiang Bo immediately flattered, "Boss is wise."

Lu Li accepted the subordinate's compliment without shame, and took Wei Na to the captain's lounge to say hello to the distinguished guests.As a starship captain who was heavily in debt and kept a bunch of goodies, Lu Li had to work hard to find various ways to make money.For example, helping the Central Supervision Department to make a trip to Poxing to earn some rewards, or take a few passengers who are not convenient to appear in public along the way.Such as the Federal Admiral Zhuang Wei who was on the Iris at this time.

As one of the seven generals of the Federation and the head of the Third Army, Zhuang Wei concealed his identity and went to Poxing in a low-key manner. Lu Li was not interested in the reason.If it wasn't for his immediate superior, Li Zhendao, Lu Li wouldn't have taken on this trouble.

At the door of the captain's room, Wei Na was stopped by Zhuang Wei's personal guard.At present, the captain's lounge is the best-decorated cabin in the entire Iris.In order to save energy stones, except for keeping the combat weapons, all other flashy infrastructures on the Iris were shut down.The crew's cabin was only left with hammocks. In Lu Li's words, this was also to cultivate the crew's habit of hard work and simplicity.Jiang Bo complained privately that apart from the weapons and facilities, the Iris was as clean as if it had just been ransacked by star thieves.The previous passengers were not particular about food and lodging, and they didn't dare to be particular about it in front of Lu Li.But Zhuang Wei's situation was special, Lu Li had to give up his place.Of course, Zhuang Wei also paid a reward that satisfied Lu Li.

"General Zhuang." Lu Li knocked on the door.

"Major Lu."

In front of the stargazing window, Zhuang Wei greeted Lu Li with a smile.He's turning sixty this year, but looks like he's in his early forties.As the most powerful sentinel of the Federation for decades, Zhuang Wei does not have the slightest military aura on his body, but gives people a sense of elegance.If you don't say it, everyone who meets him will only regard him as a scholar, not a general of the Federation Iron Blood Legion.

"Are you still used to living here?" Lu Li respected Zhuang Wei very much.He grew up listening to Zhuang Wei's legendary experience, and for a certain period of time, Zhuang Wei was his idol in life.Unlike the Sentinel who came from a military aristocratic family, Zhuang Wei came from a commoner family. After joining the Third Army, he climbed to the position of General of the Federation step by step by virtue of his military exploits. He was also the only one of the seven generals of the Federation who was born as a commoner. .

"Very good, the view of the lounge is very good, from here you can see the beauty of the universe along the way." Zhuang Wei beckoned Lu Li to sit down, "Major Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Li bowed slightly, "The Iris is expected to conduct a small military operation in half an hour, I hope it won't cause trouble to General Zhuang."

"Of course not, is it aimed at the starship of the Sika Star Thief Group in front?"

With Zhuang Wei's strength, he might have discovered the other party's starship before Little Taro discovered the Sika Star Thief.Lu Li didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "You know, it's too expensive to raise a B-class starship. I have to seek some external help."

Zhuang Wei laughed, and said jokingly: "I understand this feeling very well. My Xingyun was able to survive back then, thanks to the great help of several Star Thieves. I think Xika will not be stingy this time. of."
