Genoa is a city completely controlled by the new EU, because there is a factory area built for the new EU to produce aircraft carriers, space battleships and humanoid weapons. It is a place that must not fall into the hands of HER.
With Deputy Speaker Robert's recommendation, the Osiris was able to be repaired here. Captain Shepard had planned to stay here for a week and then leave, but now he had to wait a little more than two weeks. Because of HER's comprehensive invasion of Europe, Genoa's arsenal has a large number of arms orders. If the Osiris hadn't spent a lot of money, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been repaired after a month.
This was a good thing for the crew, who had had a tough last month, and nothing could be more rejuvenating than a two-week vacation in Geia.
The Osiris has become very famous now because of Sima Qian and others' reports. Almost all kinds of people request to visit. Except for dignitaries, Anton, who is now in charge of major affairs on the ship, refuses the invitation. But Anton, who is coming today, cannot refuse, because he wants to give a gift to the Osiris.
As soon as the visitor entered the hangar, he was warmly welcomed by Anton.
"Dr. Hohenheim, long time no see! Last time we met in Istanbul."
Dr. Hohenheim was not so enthusiastic and shook hands with Anton without saying a word. This cold look is in line with the feeling of Dr. Hohenheim in Anton's memory.
"What's the matter with you today?"
Anton smiled broadly at Hohenheim while peeking at the truck he was bringing behind him. His eyes seemed to be asking: "What good things did you bring this time?"
Dr. Hohenheim understood what he meant, pushed up his glasses and introduced: "Ah, I brought new equipment for Unit 2 this time. They are two halberds, codenamed Dianwei."
"Handhalberd? Weapon?"
"Yes, it is a laser fighting weapon based on a prototype of an ancient Chinese weapon. We lengthened the handle based on the prototype..."
The truck was unloaded and a crane lifted two black polearms. It was the first time for Anton to see this kind of weapon in the shape of "Bu". He murmured to himself:
"Laser weapons can also be made like this..."
Dr. Hohenheim also looked at the two halberds: "Yes, I used to have the No. 2 machine responsible for testing various laser melee weapons. Originally there were other weapon designs besides this, but now they have been cancelled..."
"What do you mean? Will the Moore Chamber of Commerce send us equipment in the future?"
Hohenheim shook his head: "No, there is another set of equipment under development. But that set of equipment is rather special, and you have to wait until you go to the factory in New Earth to install it."
Anton was in trouble: "We need to go to space...Although I have always wanted to see the rumored new earth. But now the Osiris has no way or plan to go to space."
"Doesn't the new EU have a launch track for warships?" Dr. Hohenheim asked.
The space battleships of the RX era can basically break through the atmosphere and enter the earth's circle as a single ship, but sending a huge battleship into space is another matter. It is not enough to rely on the thrust of the warship itself to go into space. Generally, it is necessary to equip a large number of disposable thrusters to complete the liftoff on a special orbit.
Anton shook his head: "The main reason is that we have no plans to go to space. We have to go to North America after the ship is repaired."
"You are busy enough... By the way, I have two requests. Can you listen to me? Sergeant Anton."
"Of course, please speak."
Dr. Hohenheim sighed: "I am now on long-term leave. I don't know when I can return to the Moore Chamber of Commerce, and I have nowhere to go. Can I take this ship? I can provide technical support." "
"Of course! I welcome you on behalf of the Osiris! But you are on long-term leave, have you been dismissed? What's going on?"
Hohenheim scratched his head: "Oh, don't ask. Since you agreed to this, let me do the second thing: I want to conduct a physical examination on Lin Ao. I brought some equipment, and I will do a physical examination at least once a week after that..."
"Oh, it's okay to give Lin Ao physical examinations, but do they need to be so frequent? We only have physical examinations once every three months."
"Nothing, I'm just concerned about Lin Ao's condition, okay?"
"Okay, but Lin Ao is going out to play now. Just wait for him to come back."
Dr. Hohenheim nodded and turned to talk to the staff responsible for delivering the equipment. Anton stopped him.
"Sergeant Anton, is there anything else?"
Anton changed his cordial attitude and asked with a serious expression: "Dr. Hohenheim, I heard that Lin Ao had a private conversation with him in Istanbul and asked him to inform you immediately if there is any special situation. Now you are We need to conduct a physical examination on Lin Ao. Can you tell me why you pay so much attention to him? What are you hiding?"
Dr. Hohenheim was stunned for a moment, looked around and then came over: "Don't worry, Sergeant, I don't mean any harm."
"But you have to have a reason for me to trust you, otherwise I will have to cancel your permission to board the ship."
"Sigh... Let me tell you the truth. The Ten Swords series of aircraft of the Moore Chamber of Commerce were all developed for professional soldiers to pilot. But later, Chairman Thomas asked us to set the system of the aircraft to only allow people under 20 years old. The youth driving regulations have been implemented, and the most advanced identity authentication system has been added. Once the driver successfully logs in, he cannot easily change people."
Anton asked: "What's wrong? The authentication system is to protect the body from being stolen and to protect the intellectual property of your chamber of commerce. I can understand this. As for the age requirement, although it is strange. But I also joined the army when I was 18 years old. , there are a lot of soldiers who meet this age requirement."
"Maybe...but I always feel weird. I can't contact other Ten Swords pilots, so I want to check on Lin Ao, for his own good, okay?"
Anton thought for a moment: "Okay, but you have to notify me before every physical examination. Do you understand? Once I find you acting strangely, I will kick you off the ship immediately!"
Hohenheim spread his hands: "Don't worry, they are all physical examination items available in the hospital."
…
In the evening, Lin Ao, who had played on the beach in Genoa, returned to the boat and was immediately pulled by Anton to undergo a physical examination by Dr. Hohenheim. Anton watched the entire physical examination process, and there was nothing strange except for items such as CT, electrocardiogram, and brain electromagnetic wave scan that were not included in the physical examination on board the ship.
Dr. Hohenheim carefully examined Lin Ao's electroencephalogram, and Anton asked him: "Did you find anything?"
Hohenheim shook his head: "No, it's normal."
"Well, then today's physical examination will be over."
Lin Ao asked uneasily: "What is going on? Why did Dr. Hohenheim get on the ship? Could it be that the nuclear engine of Unit 2 leaked and I was exposed to nuclear radiation!?"
Anton patted his head: "You think too much. You are very healthy. Go back to sleep!"
Lin Ao just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Dr. Hohenheim shout: "Wait a minute!"
Now Lin Ao's heart was in his throat, he turned his head and asked: "Is something really wrong?"
"No...it's not that serious. Your blood sugar is a bit high. Eat less sweets recently!"
