Chapter 140 Gold Plating
As for Fu Qiutong on the side, he was not shocked by the shooting just now. As an officer who once served in the First Fleet of Ganymede, although he was not the officer responsible for frontline operations or landing and occupation operations, the two sides fired at each other. She has seen firefights many times. Not to mention the bullet that missed her by an unknown distance just now. Unless the bullet passed by her ear, she would have the mental energy to avoid it. Or stay away.
And from the perspective of an officer, Fu Qiutong had already seen that the co-pilot, who looked very young, was indeed "young". Putting aside his driving skills, whether it was his shooting skills or his mentality, he was indeed "young". Due to his very immature stage, to be honest, Fu Qiutong had no impression of this person at all. He only roughly knew that he was a member of the federal military government. In order to avoid "veteran crime", that is, to avoid non-essential service personnel around military government officials who have been following him for a long time. It is a precautionary measure to carry around officials with their privacy, habits, and travel patterns being leaked.
This co-pilot, who looked to be in his twenties, was one of the fresh blood who had been specially replaced. But judging from the current situation, this "fresh blood" not only caused Fu Qiutong's rejection and caused unnecessary trouble, but also really It did not have the expected effect. Thinking of this, Fu Qiutong was not prepared to take too radical measures. Instead, he asked the co-pilot named Li Xin in as calm a voice as possible:
"You are........................ Li Xin, right? Don't be nervous now. If you have any demands, you can tell me For example, if you rashly make a move that is as dangerous as before, your life is no longer something I can guarantee."
When the killers of the Heyi Sect were about to completely discover them, Fu Qiutong didn't have any soft thoughts about the Li Xin in front of her. Normally, she would spend as much time as possible to understand the experience behind him. and family background, to solve each other's problems in a targeted manner, but now, Fu Qiutong just wants to cut through the mess quickly and solve this farce that started from within, but she must also take into account the feelings of others. If she is indiscriminate, , killing the other party when the main pilot is being held hostage will undoubtedly make other soldiers and crew members feel strange, and will cause unnecessary troubles in their own deployment.
What's more important is Du Jin. Although there is a carrier cabin between the cockpit and the passenger cabin where Du Jin is located, which is used as a temporary medical station, where everyone is facing off. Although the VZR-10 self-defense pistol in Li Xinxin's hand is It was impossible to penetrate the alloy partition wall in front of the cabin, but Fu Qiutong had to take the factor of ricochet into consideration.
When a bullet hits a smooth hard object at a certain tilt angle, the bullet can easily bounce and hit other objects. This is called a ricochet. Ricochet does not specifically refer to bullets, but can be produced by any explosive. When a bullet hits an object, the smaller the angle of impact, the greater the speed of movement, and the smoother and harder the surface of the object, the easier it is to ricochet, and the ricochet is still lethal.
Street fighting is where ricochet is most likely to occur. When a bullet hits a hard object (such as a wall or rock) and forms a ricochet, the bullet's physical shape, flight trajectory, stability, and angle of entry have all changed. Therefore, the cavity effect caused by the ricochet after it enters the human body is much larger than the rule. The effect caused by bullets is similar to that of dummy bullets. For example, when a bullet is injected into the body in a deflected state, it will not only cause the bullet to break, but also produce multiple cavities several times the diameter of the bullet, causing permanent trauma and massive blood loss in the body. The effect is comparable to that of Mu bomb.
The probability of ricocheting inside an armored aerial vehicle is much higher than in today's street fighting. After all, which city's street walls would use bulletproof alloy partitions similar to this aerial vehicle? Even the frontal armor of modern Xia Kingdom's main battle tanks does not have a similar level of protection across the technological generation gap. But unfortunately, at this time, these alloy partition walls were originally designed to withstand direct external fire. At this time, it became the biggest obstacle restricting Fu Qiutong's actions.
Taking these factors into consideration, even though Fu Qiutong can drive a floating vehicle himself and does not really have much need for a driver, he still wants to resolve the matter as peacefully as possible for various reasons. When he heard Fu Qiutong's warning Inquiring, Li Xin clenched the handle of the pistol with trembling fingers, and said in a tone mixed with fear and pleading:
"I......................I don't want to die. I still have a life I want to live and something I want to show off. Life, why should I die here? For the person who was rescued? Fart! Why should I throw away my life to others?!"
What does a person do when he is at his most desperate?
There are generally three answers to this question. The first is that when a person is most desperate, he will give up on himself. For such a person, first of all, he is not very strong psychologically. His self-healing ability means that when faced with a thing, he will think about the worst side and then treat it as the worst thing. When it really comes, he himself will be in a state of powerlessness, because this will create a strong sense of inferiority for himself, which will then make him helpless and give up on himself.
Next is when facing despair, a person will choose a state of inaction. Such a person may be in such a state for a long time. Although he feels desperate, he has no thought of changing, or He said he hadn't found a way to change that suited him. Although he was in pain every day, he would just complain to others like Xianglin's wife, and then continue living like this after complaining.
Then there is the last kind of person. What will the last kind of person do when he is desperate? When he is desperate, he will fight back. There is a saying that the more a person is at the bottom, the higher he will become when he rebounds. This shows that when a person is desperate to a certain extent, then He will become desperate. Then they will work ten times and a hundred times harder than before. Such people will also succeed when they are most desperate and achieve good results through their own efforts. I have heard this saying: The scarred part of a tree is the hardest part of the tree, which means that despair, although it makes people very painful, also makes people grow.
Li Xin is a combination of the first two. When he saw Fu Qiutong walking out of the cabin just now, he just wanted to wave instinctively, but due to nervousness, he mistook the strength of his fingers and held back the shot. Fortunately, He only received less than three months of firearms shooting training, and now the fear in his heart has caused his own rubbish shooting skills to be less than half, which is why he has that imprecise shot. gun.
"Li Xin, you............but have you ever thought that if you are caught by those from the Heyi Sect, you may not even be able to die?" , maybe you haven’t heard about the cruelty of the Unity Church on Ganymede, but in fact, with the acquiescence of the Interstellar Federation, they adopt very cruel end-of-life elimination in other colonies, failing to complete the church’s contribution quota or wanting to escape People are often dealt with secretly. Otherwise, why do you think their biotechnology is so strong? In your opinion, I will drag you to death, but if not, you will have to endure the torture... .............................”
"No! I don't believe it's impossible for those in the Unity Church to do this. Besides, I'm still valuable. My father is an officer of the military government. They can't possibly touch me! Impossible."
Faced with the fear of death, Li Xin did not listen to Fu Qiutong's words, but interrupted him rudely and yelled. Only then did Fu Qiutong fully realize why this young driver who looked very young and had little experience was killed. The military government assigned her to the accompanying ranks of special officials. It turned out that she was well prepared and was arranged to be gilded with her.
&%&*……%……&.............................
.................................................................
Fu Qiutong was speechless now. It's not like she had never seen or encountered this kind of nepotism. Normally, in order to take into account the face of the officials behind her, she would just smile and say nothing. At most, she would find an opportunity to hammer it out later and let some People know what to do and what not to do, but when things go wrong at this moment, it is undoubtedly the situation that makes Fu Qiutong the most angry and speechless.
The scene was at a stalemate for a while, and Fu Qiutong's patience was rapidly consuming. Seeing Fu Qiutong's increasingly solemn expression, the guard captain on the side turned his back to Li Xin and made a gesture of wiping Fu Qiutong's neck. The meaning of this action was very Obviously, as soldiers, especially those who have received education and psychological training from the Xia Kingdom since childhood, obeying orders has been engraved in their bones, and they all know the consequences of the parasite being taken back by the Heyi Cult. Their own parents and relatives may pay the price in blood because of their indulgence at this time.
Even if the killings of the Unity Church do not fall on their relatives, if Ganymede is taken over by the Interstellar Federation, the high-handed policies and class oppression will not be tolerated by the people in this colony. After all, the people on Ganymede Many people are not the original citizens left behind before the Xia Kingdom was merged, but people who could not stand the exploitation of the Interstellar Federation and the cruel oppression of the Unity Church, and fled here from various colonial planets and colonies. With the exception of a few border colonies in the solar system and colonial outposts outside the solar system, Three is already a large-scale human gathering place at the "Utopia" level compared to other colonies that are completely under the control of the Interstellar Federation and the Unity Church.
This is the main reason why the United Church is in a very embarrassing situation on Ganymede. After all, their ugliness and hypocrisy are no longer something that can be covered up by the disguise of religion, especially for those who have been persecuted by it.
