Day after day, busy people are always doing a never-ending pendulum movement.

Fourteen hours of work, four hours of rest, and six hours of rest.

The tired battleship engineer Dan Luo had just finished his dinner, if cold pizza could be considered dinner. Then Dan Luo took a can of beer and lay down on the sofa with a groan. He stretched his sore body vigorously a few times, then turned on the TV and started his only entertainment activity of the day.

For the construction of the sister cruisers "Cape Town" and "Cairo", the people on the Fourth Space Station have been working extraordinarily for fourteen weeks! However, the sudden tension between humans and Barritas made the military want to wave their whips to make them engineers speed up the progress!

The TV program Dan Luo likes to watch is a news talk show that specializes in analyzing current affairs in the galaxy, so he has a fairly good understanding of the recent situation. Since the "Skylian Raid" broke out, mankind's spearhead has been directed at the force behind the pirates, the Barrita Empire!

Originally, according to general diplomatic rules, no country would recognize this kind of conspiracy that had not been directly caught behind the scenes! At this time, all you need to do is firmly deny it - and as the emerging aristocracy of the galaxy, humans have already caused dissatisfaction among many nations. If you dare to provoke a dispute again. It will definitely trigger a massive boycott.

In this case, considering the political impact, mankind can only take this breath temporarily.

But... you have to understand. If we measure it by human values, we will find that the entire galaxy is full of weirdos! For example, the Asari, the most advanced ones, don’t even mention their strong genes. Although it has almost the same reproductive system as humans, reproduction relies on the fusion of the nervous system - according to human values. Reproduction itself is secondary, the act of reproduction is primary, okay! They have the tools to commit crimes but do not commit crimes... Oh, wait, the Asari are all women, and it seems that they do not have the tools to commit crimes...

Well... let's continue talking about Barita.

Batali is a weirdo among weirdos.

As we said before, the Batarians suffered a little injustice due to the dispute with humans over the colony. He was humiliated a few more times by the human ambassador Udina with a gun and a stick, and then...then the embassy of the Citadel was abolished! It’s been abolished! ——This is as unbelievable as China smashing a red bean paste bun in India, and then the third brother brazenly withdrawing from the United Nations!

Not only that, you have to know that in history, the Batarians have bombed the colonies of the Salarians and invaded the planet of the Asari - the three major council members. The only ones he did not dare to provoke were the upright ones. Turians - because of those bastards with exoskeletons. I always like to reason with them in the dreadnought - almost all of those who have tried to reason with them are gone.

By the way, why are the Batarians so stupid? The Citadel Council concluded that the Batarians were very aggressive as a nation. The human ambassador Udina also had a headache. He felt that the Batarian diplomatic principles were not mature enough... or rather. We don’t all use the same version of diplomatic principles!

But is it really so? Actually it's not. The main planet of the Batarians is Kashan, which is home to a population of 13 billion. Most of these people are prohibited from leaving the planet Kashan. The Batarians practice complete hegemony and slavery. Those in power firmly control the tools of public opinion, and then deceive all residents into lies.

In the hearts of the Batarians, the Batarians are the most powerful country in the galaxy, tied with Asari! The Batarian Empire is paradise, and the aliens are living in a state of despair. The Batarians would be so happy even if they were slaves! Except for gangsters, criminals and lazy slaves, no one wants to leave the Temple Cardigan planet in the entire galaxy...

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. Not only the common people believe it, but after long-term propaganda, even those in power are deceived by their own words - so you see they are bombing Salarie and stabbing Asari again. ——Five words floating in the sky are nothing!

So the conclusion comes out...Nima! How dare a mere human offend our Great Batarian Empire? ! no zuodie, why you try? ! beat! Must fight!

Therefore, the entire Kashan planet is currently in a state of excitement. The Barrita Navy, which only has one dreadnought, is clamoring to push the Star Alliance, which has five dreadnoughts (the military strength of 2177)...

The Star Alliance Navy didn't need to make any big moves for the Barritas. What they did was to move the Third Fleet two star systems to the Skirian area and then strengthen it slightly. The sister cruisers "Cape Town" and "Cairo" are the core content of this supplementary plan. Therefore, because of the second-rate spirit of the Barrita people, the miserable shipbuilding engineers were unlucky.

It was too late to get off work today. When Dan Luo turned on the TV, the program was already halfway through. Dan Luo pulled away the beer without paying attention, his eyes rested on the sexy female host, and then he never looked away... Yes, this is his way of leisure. It doesn’t matter what the news is, what’s important is seeing the beautiful women! Monica, the host whom he fell in love with at first sight, spent a lot of money to subscribe to the live broadcast and special edition of this show.

Not long after he sat down, the TV program had come to an end, and next was the part he was really looking forward to - the host's chat after the program! Of course, if you think about it, you will know that this is not true. No matter how small the ratings are, there are thousands of people watching, and it is impossible for the host to chat with everyone at the same time.

This is a kind of pseudo-communication using vi as the background. Because vi can remember the user's habits as they continue chatting, it is quite intelligent. And as the chat continues to get familiar, it gives people the feeling of making new friends - if they are not Virgos, it will be no problem even as "friends".

For Dan Luo, who has no girlfriend and no time for socializing. This tragic way is the only solace in his gloomy life.

"Hi, Dan Luo. How were you today?" After the show, the female host Monica said while tidying up the table, with a friendly smile and a casual tone. Really like friends. "You look tired."

"Too bad." Dan Luo, who was lying on the sofa, lifted his beer and replied with a curl of his lips. It's not a bad feeling to have "someone" who can listen to his complaints.

"Me too, I always have insomnia after the divorce. I am almost ten years older." Monica talked about her private affairs without any problem. This was her style.

"Oh no. Monica, you are as beautiful and as energetic as you were five years ago. I think from the moment I saw you, you have never aged..." Dan Luo said affectionately. Monica said. "I love you, and I will always be your fan. Let your ex-husband go to hell! I guess he is impotent..."

"Hahaha~" Monica smiled happily. Dan Luo raised his eyebrows proudly, in the past year. He and "Monica" feel more and more in harmony. "Thank you, Dan Luo, I feel much better. Besides, the divorce... is actually because of me."

"Oh. No, you don't need to tell me." Dan Luo quickly interrupted her, for fear of hearing another man's name. My glassy heart cannot bear it! "It's my honor to support you! I am your eternally loyal Dan Luo!"

"Thank you!" Monica said solemnly. She looked at her watch. Seeing this action, Dan Luo felt some regret in her heart... The time was coming again. "By the way, Dan Luo, maybe I can recommend a book to you. It talks about some bizarre, 20th-century stories... Forget it, I don't know why I can't forget this book."

"Oh! No!" Dan Luo jumped up from the sofa and yelled angrily! It even startled Monica on the screen. He shouted with a ferocious expression, "Damn advertising company! Damn pick-buy! You are not allowed to bang my Monica!"

But seeing the surprised Monica, he instantly became weak again. After a while, Dan Luo said to Monica in a pleading tone. "I'm sorry, Monica, I scared you. Well... whatever interests you, is what interests me... and I'll buy it."

A lonely engineer like him will pay special attention to this kind of pseudo-communication, and really regard it as a part of life, so that... he cannot tolerate the flaws in it at all! Especially "coercive sales" mixed with advertising! "Don't say it out loud next time, just send me... a list, and I will take the initiative to buy... You know, I am a battleship engineer, and my income is not bad - as long as you need it, I will support you! "

"Um... I'm sorry, Dan Luo. I think you misunderstood..." Monica seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said the following words with a smile. "I didn't make it clear just now. This is not an advertisement, and I'm paying for this book. It's a thank you for supporting me for five years! You know, that's really important to me!"

"Pfft!" Dan Luo just took a sip of beer and spit it out! He jumped up from the sofa in embarrassment and slapped the beer on his clothes. No matter how dull he was, he realized something was wrong now. "Monica! Tell me this isn't what I thought...isn't this...pseudo-communication?!"

"Dan Luo," Monica looked a little proud, "You have been my loyal viewer for five years. I also wondered when you would find out... but you are really not as smart as you seem. .Haha~, but very cute.”

"Oh my God!" Dan Luo covered his face and knelt down in front of the sofa, looking incredible! ——Think about what you have done in the past five years! ? ——Fell asleep while watching, watching TV naked, facing Monica x plane... "God, please take me away!"

"See you tomorrow, Dan Luo." Satisfied with his reaction, Monica ended the program with a smile...

A few minutes later, the multi-tool rang, and Dan Luo received an email from host Monica. Dan Luo opened the letter with both shame and anxiety. In addition to a purely text novel "My 20th Century", there was also a simple sentence in it - "Don't worry, Dan Luo. You don't know, in When the show premiered five years ago, you were my only live audience! Here’s my contact number, can you invite me to dinner?”

Is there any more obvious hint than this? Fuck novels! Fuck the 20th century! I love Monica! I love dinner!

Engineer Dan Luo issued the invitation with trembling fingers. Then he quickly took out his formal clothes, then rushed into the bathroom to take a bath, shave, and make a facial mask...

*****

"Are you Dan Luo?"

When Dan Luo walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and spraying cologne on his body, he was shocked to see several soldiers sitting silently in his living room.

"Uh... yes, yes, I am Dan Luo." Facing these uninvited guests, he replied with some anxiety after confirming his identity.

"Are you the designer of the sister ships 'Cape Town' and 'Johannesburg'"? "

"Only part of it has been modified... As you know, the overall design of the cruiser is handled by the Naval Design Institute. Is there any problem with this?" Looking at the indifferent people, he was a little frightened. I kept thinking about whether I had accidentally revealed some secrets and then shot, shot, and shot.

"No!" Several soldiers stood up in unison, startling Dan Luo again. "You have been recruited by the Navy... Please put on your clothes immediately and leave with us. We will send you to the Gagarin Space Station within seventy-two hours."

"Wait! I have to go to dinner, I have an appointment!" Dan Luo clasped his hands together, "please..."

"Sorry!" the soldier said without sincerity, and threw the work armor he had just taken off to him again on the bed. "In five minutes, even if you are not wearing pants, we will send you to the ship."
