Future Crystal Crown

"Hey, Qiu, there are fifteen of us here, all on channel 970.8. Come here quickly." Amor greeted warmly.

"I'm here." Qiu quickly adjusted the channel. The conversation in 970.8 was already in full swing, and Qiu's face immediately attracted a warm welcome as soon as he joined.

"Qiu, are you on the starship too? Great, tell me which fleet you are in?" Cooper asked.

"I'm in General Rogge's Helios Fleet." Qiu said with a smile.

"Aww..." The colleagues gave Qiu a set of naked whistles and howls.

"Hey, Yaw, how's the Apollo going, isn't it great?" Amor asked.

"That is, I heard that after the overhaul of the Apollo, the entire interior was reinstalled, and everything is the best. Even the toilets are very advanced." Someone said.

"Ahem." Qiu was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Hey, Qiu, what does your brother's commander's lounge look like? Is it the same as the palace?" Someone asked again.

"This... I'm not on the Apollo." Qiu said awkwardly.

"Where are you then?" Cooper asked.

"I'm in a dinghy now," Yau said.

"Ah? You still have your own boat?" Amor called out. "Your brother dotes on you too much, and even arranged a place for you alone. Hey, do you want to drag me like this? We are a room of seven people, and we all walked to the soles of our feet."

"I...not." Qiu shouted in his heart, it's really not what you think, but facing a group of people whose brains are filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, any explanation you have is futile.

"Hey, hello, Amor, have you contacted Sean? Why hasn't he come out yet?" Cooper asked.

"How do I know why he didn't come out? I was hoarse and he didn't move." Amor spread his hands.

"I just checked that their fleet crossed the ionization barrier to the Alpha Quadrant. I saw a report that the signal at the transfer station was not good, so he couldn't hear us." Li Zhonglin pushed his glasses and gave a relatively professional explanation. "But I have already left him a message in another way, and he should see it later."

"Well, we'll be together again when he comes." Cooper counted the number of people.

There was a light beep, and the system showed that someone had joined.The name is Sean.

Once again, enthusiastic whistles broke out in the channel.

"Brothers, everyone is here. 9708 will be our home from now on, and everyone will come here to get together when you have nothing to do. Do you hear me?" Amor's emotional words got everyone's response immediately.

"Go away, sir!" Everyone answered in unison with a long voice.

Qiu followed suit.

"You guys really have a good relationship." Ivan walked over at some point, and stood behind Qiu with folded arms to watch the excitement.

"You often go to this kind of channel too?" Qiu asked Ivan with a smile.Ivan, a frequent space visitor, probably has a lot of channel numbers hidden in his favorites.

Ivan, however, shook his head. "Only you rookies like to get together and flirt."

"Oh, that's right, what do you old birds do?" Qiu was a little surprised.

"It's nothing, you'll find out later." Ivan didn't want to disappoint Qiu, so he said lightly and walked aside.

Qiu didn't notice it, and was still joking with his companions cheerfully.

Ivan smiled wryly, a little envious but couldn't help feeling melancholy.His eyes turned to the porthole, looking at the dark starry sky.

In the past, like Qiu, he was also ecstatic about the public platform, shouting and beckoning friends on the public platform every day.But with one battle after another, those familiar voices became less and less, and sometimes, the entire channel would disappear in batches...

The world is ruthless and always snatches away your companions when you are the happiest. When many people leave, they don't even have time to say a word.

Now he no longer has the courage to touch those channels that used to be full of laughter and laughter. Like every veteran who fought in space, he prefers to stand alone at the window and stare at the dark universe.

However, newcomers keep coming, repeating the familiar past with laughter.

"Ivan, please answer." Someone called him.

Ivan woke up from his memory, pressed the communicator, and an unruly man's face jumped out on the fluorescent green screen in front of him.

"Is it just you two on board?" the man asked.

"Yeah, Jack, there was still you, but you haven't shown up until now." Ivan said angrily.

"Hey, didn't I go get you meals?" Jack raised his hand and showed Ivan the lunch box in his hand. "I take more at a time, and I can even have the next meal. It saves people who have to run around and have to explain for a long time."

"What is there to explain?" Ivan wondered.

"Hey, don't mention it." Jack made a helpless expression.

"Then hurry up, we are starving." Ivan turned off the communicator.

Most of the space on this small scientific research boat is empty, which is used to store large biological specimens.The only kitchen was never used.Because they set out with the team, there are fully equipped restaurants on other ships.People on this boat can take the shuttle to eat on other boats. When they are too lazy to go, they can also use the fast food in the boat's own freezer to solve the problem.

After a while, the co-pilot Jack came with big bags.Yau and Ivan helped him get things into the cockpit.

"You are Qiu?" Jack looked at Qiu curiously.

"Yes, my name is Chu Kuk." Qiu politely reached out his hand to shake Jack's hand, but Jack avoided it.

"What are you doing here? Passengers, tourists, or family members?" Jack looked at Qiu with hostility.

"I, I was sent by the Ministry of Science and Technology." Qiu felt that Jack's appearance made him very uncomfortable. "I have a formal order to board the ship."

"Don't tell me that, no one told you that our fleet never accepts outsiders?" Jack said harshly.

"……"mound.

"Jack shut up and go to work." Ivan came to protect Qiu and pushed Jack to the bridge.

Jack didn't leave, but said: "Ivan, you don't know, people on the ship over there are talking about him now. Why am I coming back late? Because all the restaurants on the ship say they don't have his meal!"

Jack speaks the truth unceremoniously.Even Ivan was stunned this time.

Jack bypassed Ivan and turned back to Qiu: "Hey, they said that the results of the TV trials you participated in were all determined by default, and you already knew the answers before the competition, so you can get No.1, isn't that right? ?”

"What?" Qiu was taken aback.

He never dreamed that he boarded this fleet full of honor with infinite admiration, and the attitude of the fleet towards him turned out to be like this.It's fine if you don't welcome yourself, but those malicious slander or even rumors and slander are like pouring cold water on the burning coals, shattering all the warmth and beauty.

"Jack, don't say a few words." Ivan couldn't stand it anymore, and he sternly reprimanded Jack.

However, Jack, who was so angry outside, couldn't stop at all, he had to spit out all the words in his stomach.

"Ivan, think about it, how did we come to this fleet? Each of us was the best graduate of the military academy back then. Which one of us didn't fight in the front line for several times? We only got a chance to climb up this ship in [-]? We boarded this ship based on our ability and military merit. And what about him? What ability does he have? Just because he has been on TV and because he looks good, he has relatives in this fleet. Can you join us? Do you think that's fair?"

"This is an order from the military department. If you are dissatisfied, you can't take it out on him." Ivan was already sweating from the question.

"I don't care about any orders from the military." Jack rolled his eyes at Ivan unceremoniously, and then looked at Qiu with disdain. "Tell you, you're the running joke of our voyage, a piece of gum that we'll spit you out on the ground when we get bored chewing. Unless you do something to impress us, we won't I will accept you, even if your brother is the commander!" After Jack finished speaking, he spat on the ground in disgust, turned and walked into the lounge.

Qiu looked at Jack's back, shocked, angry and confused.Rogge personally invited me to board the ship, but I was not welcome at all when I came, what's going on?

"Don't be as knowledgeable as they are, they are confused in war." Ivan comforted Qiu in this way.

Yau said nothing.

He believes the malice conveyed by Jack is real and widespread.

As the number one fleet of the Star Alliance, it is understandable not to accept a rookie like him.It's just that this taste is not very pleasant. It seems that there is a large or small fruit core that just happens to be stuck in the esophagus. It is hard and can't go up or down.
