Future Crystal Crown

The Star Alliance fleet has a unified number, and normal cruise missions will not use mothership-level space giants.It is usually done by the cruise fleet.Conventional cruise fleets are generally divided into three types, long-range strategic cruise fleets, medium-range cruise fleets and short-range cruise fleets.

These three fleets differ greatly in organization and performance.

The strategic-class cruise fleet is the highest-level cruise fleet with a large fleet. In addition to having the flagship with the best performance, it also has a large number of frigates, destroyers, and other transport and supply ships, as well as various fighter configurations.The fleet is powerful and ready for battle at any time.

Therefore, strategic-class cruise fleets are usually named after characters in myths and legends.For example, the name of Rear Admiral Rogge's fleet is taken from the legend of the sun god.The fleet was named the Helios Fleet.The name of the flagship is Apollo.

The same god-class fleet also includes gods such as Poseidon, Athena, and Ares.Martina's Laurel fleet is also one of them, and the flagship is named Daphne.

Compared with the long-range strategic cruise fleet, the medium-range cruise fleet is one level lower.They are named after the sequence of 88 constellations.The fleet is numbered, and the flagship corresponds to the name of the constellation.For example, the Percyon of the First Fleet, the Swordfish of the Second Fleet, the Pump of the Third Fleet, and the Tianyan of the Fourth Fleet...

This kind of cruise fleet is small in scale, has good maneuverability, and has relatively low requirements on the commander. It is the most economical choice for daily duty and patrol.Therefore, they are numerous in number, covering every star field in the range of human activities.Become the most equipped cruise formation in the Star Alliance airspace.

Their only fly in the ointment is that their resupply capabilities are relatively poor. When they perform long-distance missions or stay in space for a long time, they need to resupply midway or go to the space station to rest.This brings certain limitations to their range of activities.Of course, among the 88 fleets, there are also some specially designed fleets, such as the Fifth Fleet Persian, which is the vehicle of the prince of the equipment department. It is said that its performance and endurance are not worse than the strategic cruise fleet.

And the short-range cruise fleet below is the cruise formation of each defense zone. They are the formations that each defense zone deploys itself according to the security situation of its location.They are mainly responsible for local security protection. Although they are also under the unified command of the Covenant Military Commission, they are mainly managed by the military departments in various places, and they only have the obligation to cooperate with the Covenant fleet.

Cooper and Amor are from such a defense zone. They were both front-line pilots, and they are no strangers to cruising.The only difference is which fleet they can board this time as newcomers to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Generally speaking, according to the assessment results, people with good grades will be assigned to good fleets, and those with poor grades will be assigned to poor fleets.

Everyone hopes that they can be assigned to a strategic-class cruise fleet named after God, but God is limited after all, and it is unknown who will be able to receive this honor.More people will still be assigned to the 88 ordinary cruise fleets.

Amor was not ashamed to be assigned to the Perseid, and he turned to look at Yau.

"Qiu? Where have you been? Don't tell me you're not as good as Cooper." Amor patted Qiu on the shoulder.

Qiu looked at his notice and sat blankly without saying anything.

"What's wrong? Why this expression, let me see." Amor sensed something was wrong, and took the notice from Qiu's hand.

Cooper also leaned over to watch together.

The two looked over and over again, and finally looked at each other.

"How did this happen?" Amor asked Cooper.

Cooper tilted his head. "Did you forget to write it?"

Everyone else’s notices said, “Please report to a certain fleet at a certain base by what time on a certain day and month.” On Qiu’s notice, where the fleet’s name should have been written, it said “to be determined.”

"Could it be that you are not boarding the ship?" Cooper asked Qiu in surprise.

"Or where do you want to go?" Amor was whimsical again.

"Hey, Sean, come here." Cooper beckoned to Sean.

Sean came over, and Cooper showed Qiu's notice to Sean, "Do you know what's going on?"

Sean was stunned after reading it.

"Qiu, go and ask Colonel Hawke." Sean could only suggest this.

"Yeah, yeah, go and ask." Amor and Cooper were both short-tempered, holding Qiu's arms on the left and right to lift him up from the chair.

Qiu walked up to Colonel Hawk anxiously.

Colonel Hawke was not at all surprised by his presence.Before he could summon up the courage to finish his question, the old man Hawke waved his hand impatiently. "If you tell you to wait, just wait. You don't need to ask any more. You don't have the patience at all. Your training is all in vain."

"..." Qiu made fun of it.

"Sir, how long do we have to wait?" Qiu asked eagerly.

"I don't know. Someone will let you know when there is an arrangement." Hogg responded with a sentence and left Qiu.

Everyone left happily, only Qiu returned to the office alone.

Sighing, he picked up the communicator and pressed his home number.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Qiu asked sullenly.

"Ah, it's Qiu. Did you receive the notice of waiting for the ship? When will you leave? Do you know where to go?" Mom asked excitedly, and couldn't wait to congratulate Qiu.

"Oh... this." Qiu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. "Mom, I'm still waiting for the notice."

"Ah, that's it." Mom was taken aback, and her eyes immediately showed a look of worry.After pondering for a moment, Laura carefully persuaded Qiu: "Qiu, in fact, mother hopes that you can't go, what if there is danger... Otherwise, you can just apply to come back, stay closer to home, so that mother can see you often ,OK?"

"Mom." Qiu shook his head. "I finally passed the assessment, how could I just give up like this."

"Qiu, do you want to stay if you are unhappy?" Laura looked at Qiu sympathetically.

"Yeah." Qiu nodded vigorously.Since you are already so unhappy, so what if you persist.Qiu had a feeling in his heart that Major General Rogge remembered him, and he would not let him leave just like that.

"Well, Yau, Mommy's always there for you," Laura said.

"Thank you, Mom." Qiu nodded, keeping his mother's encouragement in mind.

"Beep!" The communicator issued a prompt.Another signal is waiting to be connected.

Qiu hurriedly said goodbye to his mother.

"Yu? Are you in the office?" It was Elson's secretary, Locke, a big boy with a round head.

"Yes, I'm here." Qiu tried to look calmer.

"Now go to Lieutenant General Elson's office, hurry up, he's waiting for you." Locke said.

"Oh, yes, I'll come right away." Qiu was a little excited and a little nervous, and Elson summoned him personally. This was to give himself an explanation about the boarding.Qiu thought as he walked out of the office.

Elson's office is in the middle of the highest floor, as high as a crown star.

This was the first time Yau walked into Elson's office.Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the clear blue sky, but the interior is extremely gloomy and cold.The air conditioner is turned on like an ice cellar, and the black and gray design in the room is as heavy and depressing as a cemetery. Looking out of the room from the window is like squatting in a deep tomb and looking at the outside world through a thick curtain wall. Yin and Yang are separated and alienated. The feeling is clearly visible.

"Sir, Qiu. Cook is here to report." Qiu walked to the table and raised his hand to the wax figure-like figure sitting behind the table.

Of course, he didn't forget to peek at the other person sitting in front of the table, Major General Rogge, out of the corner of his eye.

Major General Rogge's sunshine was as bright as ever, and even this office, which was so overcast that it seemed to freeze at any time, couldn't make his radiance dim in the slightest.

At this moment, he was sitting in the chair opposite Elson, wearing a bright and straight military uniform, with one leg crossed over the other, and he was looking at Qiu comfortably.There was even a gentle smile on his face.

"You tell him." Elson always spared words like gold.Even if he called his subordinates, he still had to bother the young general opposite to explain the ins and outs.

Rogge nodded slightly and accepted the order happily.

"Qiu, I originally promised your brother to consider letting you return to Fanduo Xing, but Lieutenant General Elson insisted that you stay in the Ministry of Science and Technology. I also think that the paleontological project team of the Ministry of Science and Technology is in urgent need of manpower. If you are Being able to stay may bring us more surprises. So after careful consideration, we now officially inform you that you will not be transferred away with any excuses, and you will stay in the Ministry of Science and Technology like others and continue to work on the paleontology project team work."

Major General Roger speaks the truth.

On the issue of Qiu's future, he and Fei Lin had a big disagreement.He and Elson's view is basically the same.

Yau was a boat with potential, and it was safe to throw him in some distant harbor, but that was not what ships were built for.Let him stay in the military to give full play to his talents, and at the same time let everyone know that he is valued by the leaders and cannot be easily attacked.This is his protection, and it is a more powerful protection.

"Oh, that's right." Qiu didn't know what Rogge was thinking.All he cared about now was boarding the ship.Whatever Rogge's rhetoric, he wasn't happy as long as he hadn't been notified to board.

Roger smiled slightly, he knew exactly what Qiu was thinking.

"The reason why you haven't received the Boarding Notice is because the lieutenant general and I are still considering which fleet to send you to," Rogge said.

Um?Qiu's heart skipped a beat.

"Vice Admiral Elson wants you to go to Sagittarius with his fleet, and I hope you can go with my fleet to cruise Prism Star. Both options are good for you. You can set off with any of the fleets There will be something to gain. So I called you here now to hear your own opinion. Who are you willing to go with?" Major General Rogge expressed his honesty like sunshine with a little apology.

"..." Qiu didn't say anything.The sudden transformation from a refrigerated product to a sweet pastry, I couldn't react for a while.

"I, can I board the ship?" Qiu asked Roger.

"Unless you don't want to," Roger said.

Qiu felt his tortured little heart beating like a drugged bunny.

"Tell me, who do you want to go with?" Roger asked with a smile.

"Well, I want to go with you..." Qiu said without much thought and decision.After I finished speaking, I suddenly remembered that I was able to stay thanks to Lieutenant General Elson, so I ran away with others in front of him, isn't it too disrespectful to the boss?Anyway, should we make a fuss about the snake's tail?

Qiu looked shyly at Elson, the boss who had been killed by himself. "Sorry, sir."

Elson was unmoved.It's not that he didn't mind, but that he wasn't listening at all, and he didn't know when he was distracted again.

"Oh. Very good, this matter is settled like this. Lieutenant, I welcome you on behalf of the Helios Fleet." Rear Admiral Rogge said gracefully, took out a blank form, and wrote Helios in the place of the fleet's name. , and then handsomely signed his name at the bottom.After finishing writing, he handed this brand new form to Qiu. "Take it away, this is the document you will use to report to the ship."

Qiu took it over, looking at the wet handwriting, his hands trembled a little.

Is this ready to board the ship?It's the sun god, I'm going to board the Apollo.

"But Yau, I have some sad news for you," Roger added.

"Huh?" Qiu felt that any misfortune was acceptable.

"Although you can set off with the Helios fleet, my commander, Colonel Ferring, said that he doesn't want to see you. What do you say?" Rogge narrowly threw the question to Qiu.

"Oh... this... I, I can hide." Qiu thought hard.

"Heh, the fleet will fly for half a month. Can you survive the first day of the first day or the fifteenth day?" Roger smiled, "Well, I will arrange it for you, but you have to promise me that you will be on the ship at any time." You have to obey orders and obey orders. Can it be done?" Roger asked Qiu.

"Well, of course, I promise to do it." Qiu nodded desperately.My heart is already crazy.

As long as he can board the Apollo, he will have the opportunity to meet Brother Feilin, and as long as he can see him himself, he will have the opportunity to persuade him to go home.This is much faster than I expected.

"Okay, get ready to go." Major General Rogge finished work with a smile.

"Yes, sir." Qiu confirmed again that Major General Rogge was on his side.

A silent Lieutenant General Elson slowly moved his gaze over and landed on the two of them.

Returning from his fugue, he seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep. He raised his eyes, and the thousand-year-old Bitan looked coldly at the tourists in front of him who were full of interest.There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, and then a flash of surprise.

It seemed to say: Why are you here?
