assembly area.

A terrified silence spread.

Before Binglin, those young people who had been beating red caterpillars for three hours, holding the fruit of their blood and sweat in their arms - the real crystal mine of more than ten or twenty yuan, stared blankly at the fierce plane in front of them.Electricity.

Waving the mechanical arm, he pulled out the shocking electricity of the real crystal mine from his stomach.

Tang Zhen spat out: "... Grass!"

He scratched his hair, and said to Bemaner, who was also messed up in the wind, dumbfoundingly: "Just now I said that the two of us could easily be the first after listening to Xiao Jiang's words. Tsk tsk, so she is waiting for us here."

Lieutenant Raymond's eyes were straightened, and his lips trembled: "Yes, how many pieces are there!?"

Jiang Jianming was sitting in the cockpit manipulating the robotic arm, and raised his head apologetically after hearing the sound: "Sorry...the time is too tight, so I didn't have time to count."

But when he was speaking, the shocking mechanical arm was pouring the real crystal ore on the ground, and the transparent crystal blocks were jumping around happily.

The originally sincere "sorry" was so tired that it also took on a sarcastic meaning.

The cold wind was howling, and a group of young military officers touched a few pieces of real crystal mines in their arms.

...At this moment, they felt offended.

Huo Lin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Who helped you?"

Jiang Jianming said, "It's His Royal Highness Prince Garcia."

"..."

"...If you really don't want to say it," Huo Lin squeezed his fingers with twitching veins, "you can choose to shut up."

Jiang Jianming felt that these words seemed familiar.

He regretted that he had been telling the truth all along.

After counting, he harvested one hundred and thirteen pieces of true crystal ore, and he was the first in this time trial.

By the way, Li Youfang also worked hard.He won a full 20 pieces of true crystal ore, ranking fifth, which is a proud achievement-provided that there is no bad bet.

"It was indeed an accident, and I didn't expect it."

Back at the fortress, everyone got off their mechs.

Jiang Jianming patted Li Youfang when he passed by, seeing his teammate's pale face, he couldn't bear it, "Don't take it too seriously, that bet..."

Li Youfang looked up desperately, thinking that the other party was going to say "let's forget about the bet".

As a result, Jiang Jianming said: "...you can owe the money first and pay it back slowly. I don't charge interest."

"..."

Killing and killing people, but that's all!!

According to the rules of the Silver Beidou Fortress, when you go out to fight, you can harvest true crystal ore, and you can choose to exchange it for success honors or coins according to its quality and purity.

It is worth mentioning that "merit" is one of the most important concepts for the soldiers and officers of the fortress.

Silver Beidou has been stationed in the far-off star, which has a cruel environment, and is basically in a special state of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control it". The laws of ordinary imperial legions do not apply to them.

Here, military merit and ability are the only criteria.

Soldiers who have accumulated more meritorious service can not only get faster promotion opportunities, but also get more advanced weapons and mechas than their colleagues... and the right to make decisions and command at critical times.

So it's no surprise... everyone except Jiang Jianming chose to record military merits.

Only Jiang Jianming quietly breathed a sigh of relief seeing the sudden increase of hundreds of thousands of coins on his wrist phone.

Tang Zhen and the others were still confirming the merit records one by one, and Jiang Jianming was waiting by the side, a little lost in boredom.

He thought of the awe-inspiring shock, those emerald-like eyes, and the brass-colored bullet casing that fell on his palm.

He fumbled through his uniform for the shell casings he had kept in his left breast pocket.

Garcia... Garcia Keos.

Jiang Jianming looked around and walked in the direction of Lieutenant Raymond.

He has already seen that this young lieutenant is very good, and the most important thing is not to discriminate against him.

"Lieutenant." Jiang Jianming saluted politely.

Raymond was leaning against the wall, smoking a retro-style cigarette, his expression was in a daze, when he saw him coming over, he quickly choked out the cigarette, smiled and said, "It's you."

The lieutenant touched his nose: "Hey, Chief Huolin has that kind of temper, don't take it too seriously...I personally admire you very much." He patted Jiang Jianming, "Young man with courage."

"You praise me." Jiang Jianming said, "Lieutenant, may I ask you a question?"

Raymond: "Of course, as long as I can answer."

Jiang Jianming: "Do you know His Royal Highness Prince Garcia?"

Raymond was surprised, he didn't expect him to ask this: "Uh, an ordinary officer like me can't get in touch with His Royal Highness at all..."

He stroked his hair, "Why do you ask this? By the way, you used His Royal Highness as an excuse for the time trial just now."

No, it's not an excuse, it's true... Jiang Jianming was helpless.

But he didn't stick to it, but walked up to the lieutenant: "To tell the truth, I admire the old Crown Prince Lai An very much."

"Oh..." Raymond immediately showed a clear look, and raised his eyebrows cheerfully, "Who is not here!"

Obviously, he has classified Jiang Jianming as one of the thousands of young people who fanatically worshiped the old prince.

Jiang Jianming pursed his lower lip: "I heard from an officer that His Highness Garcia is a new crystal human being not inferior to his imperial brother."

"However, for so many years, the only one who has worked tirelessly to seek the interests of the people of the empire is His Royal Highness Lai An... and this second prince, I have never heard of him."

He intentionally put some emotion in his tone, so that he looked more like an aggrieved fanatic of the prince.

...not a widow trying to find out about her dead husband.

Jiang Jianming wanted to feel that it was not easy for him, and the expression on his face was still very cold and authentic: "Now His Highness the Crown Prince died in the frontier for the sake of the empire, and this Highness Garcia has become the only prince. Isn't it justifiable to inherit the empire in the future?"?”

Lieutenant Raymond smiled amicably, and said, "You can't say that. In the past three years, His Highness Garcia has also done a lot for the fortress. He is indeed very powerful."

——These three years.

Jiang Jianming felt his scalp and back explode together.

He asked calmly: "You said these three years? What about three years ago... How old is His Highness Garcia?"

Raymond said: "I don't know the age of your highness. It doesn't look like he is much younger than the prince. As for three years... His highness Garcia only started fighting three years ago. I heard that he grew up in a distant star.It used to be the alien planet where the third fortress is located, Omega."

"..."

Jiang Jianming was silent for a long time before he asked the next sentence: "That is to say, you haven't seen this person until three years ago, have you? Haven't you heard of him?"

"If you have to say that, it's true." Raymond said, scratching his hair, "Alien Omega is too far away from Alpha and Beta, I really don't know it well... probably many people don't knowBar."

Jiang Jianming took a deep breath, let the breath cool down his internal organs, and then spit it out silently: "I see... Thank you."

Alien Omega...

The third fortress of the Yin Beidou...

When Ryan realized that he yearned for distant stars in the universe, he personally took him all over the alien stars where the three silver Beidou fortresses were located.

And among them, Omega is a bit special—because on this beautiful alien planet where clouds flow like fire at sunrise, His Royal Highness proposed to him.

Of course, looking at it now, this is not too important. What impressed Jiang Jianming even more is that in addition to the military fortress, Alien Omega is also stationed at the most mysterious scientific research base in the empire... the headquarters of the Black Shark Base.

The more Jiang Jianming thought about it, the more he had a headache. Several bad guesses came up, but there was no evidence for them.

He was already very tired today, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

There is still tomorrow's training, so he returned to the dormitory with Tang Zhen and Bemaner, and without looking at Li Youfang's pale face and Qiao's strange eyes, he injected himself with a sedative, washed up and went to bed quickly.

That night, Jiang Jianming didn't sleep well.In the middle of the night, he woke up twice in shock, his heart beat frighteningly fast when he was panting, and he felt chills all over his body.

The next morning, he vaguely heard his alarm go off, but was quickly turned off.

Someone was talking, but the voice seemed to be separated by a curtain.

Jiang Jianming knew that he should wake up, but his consciousness struggled for a long time before he could perceive his body.

A heavy, aching body that alternates between hot and cold.

Jiang Jianming forced himself to open his eyes, and his vision blurred for a while before he could see clearly. He met the complicated gazes of Li Youfang and Qiao in the dormitory.

"Crippled human beings," Qiao muttered in a muffled voice, "Sure enough..." Touched Li Youfang again, and smiled almost, "Isn't it?"

……what?His mind turned very sluggishly, and he thought hard: What happened to the disabled human beings this time?

Jiang Jianming wanted to get up from the bed, but just moved, he couldn't help but gasped and pressed his temple...He had a headache, as if something was drilling into his brain.

When his fingertips touched the hot skin on his forehead, he was stunned for a second, realizing that the temperature was not right.

Tang Zhen came from the door with a livid face, and wiped Jiang Jianming's forehead with an ice towel, "Lie down, you have a fever...have you brought any medicine?"
