An MSV spacecraft painted in red and black colors jumped into the "Phoenix Cluster" galaxy.
This galaxy is desolate and remote, located on the outer edge of the Milky Way and not even on any of the main cantilevers. At the edge of the Milky Way, there are stars entering their final years, planets on the verge of dismemberment, and "neighbors" that are simply out of reach... If there is such a thing as the end of the world, then at the edge of the Milky Way Zone, this kind of thing must happen every day.
Such a harsh planetary environment is exactly where the Quarian immigration fleet will stay in the near future. In the two hundred years since the failure of the Dawn War, the Quarians, who have lost billions of people, have fallen from the most powerful race in the galaxy. Because of the "mistake" of releasing the geth, their embassy in the Citadel was revoked and they were hostile to many races.
The Quarians have always been lonely on ships, wandering throughout the galaxy - most of the time, at the edge of the galaxy. Because they are not allowed to have planetary colonies, immigrant fleets are often expelled when they pass through the territory of a certain race. So for the better part of two hundred years, they wandered the fringes of no-man's land.
They live on boats, like gypsies in the future world. Even in such a desolate galaxy, the wandering fleet will still send a large number of ships to collect usable metals in the decaying meteorite belt, or board the planet to search for more organic matter - because the entire fleet is always in a situation of shortage of resources, even food and drugs are rationed explicitly by law—the immigrant fleet is always doing whatever it takes to collect resources.
Then the Quarians' behavior was criticized as "a nation like locusts", "leaving no grass in their path" and so on...
Obviously, this red and black MSV cargo ship with a compact shape is Lu Yuan's "Race Walker". In other words...it used to be Lu Yuan's "Race Walker", but now the ownership has been transferred to the hands of a pair of Kuili mother and daughter.
(No way. This book poisoned me to death! It’s not surprising that women’s legs are so weak! You saved someone’s life and sent a spaceship, how can you be so ****!
"Ahhh! Tully, come and see! This is the latest ion engine! It has been less than 16 months since Mu Xing Laboratory released this achievement. The speed of human application is really fast! Mom once I read Mr. Mu Xing’s works in the “Spaceship Technology Newsletter”, but I didn’t expect to see the real thing today! It’s so touching!”
Tully's mother... was a quarian who had electrocuted Lu Yuan into a black man. Now he is running excitedly on the entire MSV. Instead, it was her daughter Tali Zola, who was obviously still a little girl, but she was sitting in front of the bridge with her chin in her hands and a very melancholy look.
"I'm going to tell your dad, this will be my best travel gift!" Mom announced.
Tully hit her head on the bridge and yelled angrily. "Mom! The first thing you need to make clear is that your wandering ended twenty years ago! And what you brought back was an axial transmission, not such a good spacecraft! By the way... that one is installed in Lai The transmission on the Yahao. It was scrapped last month and has no repair value!"
"Why are Lily complaining about her mother like this!" Tully's mother said pitifully through the communicator.
"That's because..." Sister Tali said through gritted teeth, "Why did this ship become your gift from Yunyou?! If it was Yunyou's gift, it should be mine! You sold me this ship. It took twenty years! And I didn’t ask for any advice!”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Mom is sorry, Lily!” Her mother came back in tears, rushed over and hugged Tully Zola tightly. "Mom really likes this spaceship! Eight arrows, eight hearts, and other triangular layouts...it sounds great! So when Captain Lu waved the contract and said he would trade this ship for your job... Ten years ago, my mother couldn't resist the temptation... so she signed as a guardian... Can you forgive my mother?" Tully's mother looked at her pitifully.
"Oh, forget it. Minors have no human rights...it's just a job." Tali Zola had nothing to do with her offline mother, and after her mother narrowly escaped death this time, she almost lost her Mother thing. It made her attachment to her mother even deeper - so, let's just leave it like this! When he is old enough to start traveling, he packs up and goes to work on Lu Yuan's ship - 20 years!
Wonder what his new boat looks like? I hope it's better than this ship...
"Yes! Yes! It's just work! My Lily is a genius!" After hearing that she was forgiven, Tully's mother immediately regained her energy and her tears disappeared! "Even if it's striptease, bed warming, etc., Lily can do it perfectly!"
When Tully Zola was about to scream again, her mother immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "Lily, come with me to see the engine again. Just once... Mom still hasn't understood some details. …”
"Ah!" Tali Zola covered her forehead and said in a voice close to a moan. "I really want to grow up quickly and leave here."
"That's right. Mom, please stay on the bridge for now." Tully Zola suddenly remembered something, opened the visor covering the portholes, and looked at a majestic battleship that was gradually approaching, and several shuttles. machine. "The fleet's security personnel have arrived. We will first cooperate with them to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the ship... Although I believe that Captain Lu is a good person, for the safety of the immigration fleet, the inspection is still necessary... Please put the hidden Hand over all those equipment!”
"No!"
*****
Looking at the familiar hull that appeared in the field of vision, Carl Danner's hand slipped, and the heavy cruiser he was driving almost hit the shuttle on the side!
"Hey, you guy, be more careful!" A complaining voice came from the communicator.
"Sorry, my hand slipped..." Karl smiled bitterly and quickly apologized in the channel. Then he slowed down the speed of the boat and looked carefully at the red and black spaceship outside the porthole again, and suddenly he was filled with thoughts.
To be honest, Karl did not have a pleasant time after ending his wandering and returning to the Wandering Fleet. It’s not just because of the problem just now, where a newcomer takes over too quickly, causing the senior people to be dissatisfied with him.
Carl Danner is well-known to the outside world, and he is still after his wandering. Bring back a state-of-the-art heavy cruiser as powerful as a dreadnought for the immigrant fleet! This is a "gift" that ranks among the top three in the history of quarians' travels! Therefore, his return was welcomed by the entire immigrant fleet!
Not only was he officially appointed captain of the battleship by Parliament. And Carl has become an idol that the fleet vigorously promotes! Countless young people follow his example, and Carl receives a lot of love letters every day! (Hahaha. If you say this, it will indeed make Captain Lu jealous.
Karl also spent the first few weeks after his return in a state of high spirits.
But his compatriots and partners gradually discovered that Carl Danner had changed - the young man who liked to talk and chatter endlessly had disappeared - and was replaced by the current man who has a calm and reliable character and is shrewd and skillful in handling affairs. The captain. Of course, the members of the parliament were happy about this. They felt that the 2b young man from back then had finally grown up!
Only the people around Karl knew that he was not only mature, but also becoming more and more silent. And often in a daze. Occasionally, people would see him standing in front of the porthole, looking at those people who were out wandering, with an envious look? !
I must have read it wrong! That guy has the most advanced battleship in the galaxy! He is the most outstanding and youngest captain of the immigration fleet! He has high hopes from the entire parliament - such a winner in life will soon marry Bai Fumei, obtain the qualifications of a member of parliament, and reach the pinnacle of life - what reason does he have to envy those poor young people who have begun to wander around? !
However, in fact, Carl Danner is indeed envious of those hard-working young people.
When he drove a luxurious battleship to patrol the periphery, he witnessed thousands of mining ships working day and night; when the new heavy patrol was regarded as the cradle for cultivating quarian officers, every qualification to board the ship required Strict review. But he knew that on many ships in the fleet, only ten people had one toilet; when he sat in the spacious captain's cabin. He is envied by countless people, but he doesn't know that he also envies those quarians who work hard and sweat...
Carl Danner felt increasingly empty in his heart. This gorgeous battleship could no longer bring him any satisfaction.
It wasn't until he stepped onto the deck of the "Race Walker" that he finally faced his heart and knew what he wanted - he didn't want that invincible heavy cruiser, he wanted this one A clipper that can play with the patrol fleet at will! He doesn't want to waste his time in the gorgeous captain's cabin. He wants to do some practical, down-to-earth work that can make the lives of the quarians better!
That's right! After clarifying his thoughts, Karl suddenly became excited! "Sure enough, dreams are the most beautiful when they are not realized!" He said loudly. Even the people around me heard it. Several people looked at each other. This captain...is gay again?
But does Carl Danner care? He has completely figured it out. It’s not rare to be the captain of the Shenma battleship! Childhood dream? Go to hell! The job I'm best at...is indeed smuggling!
The only way is to cross the dangerous blockade and bring back the best items and the best technology in the world to Kuili. That's what I should do! He turned around and said seriously to the people around him, "You said, compared with a gorgeous battleship, let the maintenance workers who have never left the ship have a sip of fine wine, and let the naughty kids have a taste of it. The fruits produced on Eden…which one is more important?!”
Most of the young officers training on his ship looked at him with "you're sick again" looks. Only the middle-aged officer who had complained about him before nodded happily. He didn't speak, but his meaning was very clear.
"I'm sorry! Please forgive my willfulness," Carl Danner bowed deeply to his "crew". "I apologize for my next decision!"
…
"Exchange!" Carl Danner put his hands on Tully's mother's shoulders, pushed her to the porthole, and showed off his gorgeous battleship!
"This is the best heavy cruiser in the galaxy, in exchange for your dilapidated cargo ship - what are you waiting for?! As long as you nod, that battleship will be yours! I will help you with the matter on the council side!"
As for Tully's mother, her eyes were wide open, and she was looking at the fusiform heavy cruiser outside the window with dazzled eyes. She was speechless! Ever since this heavy cruiser came to the fleet, she had dreamed of going up there countless times! Now... I actually want to own it? ! Sure enough, unlimited exchange will definitely lead to great things in exchange!
"Impossible! I won't change even if I die!" Tali Zola saw her mother looking like she was about to agree, and immediately jumped up angrily to stop her! "I paid for this ship with 20 years of working! It's 20 years for a young girl like me!"
Carl Danner tilted his head, looked at the short quarian girl up and down carefully, and suddenly asked, "Is your name Tali Zora Na Leia? The person who signed the contract with you, Is it Captain Lu Yuan?"
"You...how do you know?!" Tully took a step back in fear and hid on the other side of the bridge.
"Believe me! No matter whether there is an exchange or not..." Carl Danner said extremely seriously, "It is your destiny to work for Captain Lu!"
