Chapter 9
The black codes are hidden in the tall trees, overlooking the crowd outside the forest.
Blair took a tube of mango-flavored nutrient and ate it slowly. The taste of the nutrient is similar to cooked rice porridge. In order to increase the taste, the particles that have not been completely broken are added. Muggy water.
"Oh, what kind of guy with an underdeveloped brain made this taste? It's obvious that the meat is made into the taste of mango. His sense of taste is malfunctioning or something." Blair spit out the straw in disgust, and looked down at the food. The box does not have a normal taste, so disappointed.
"Oh my God, what are the brains of those foodies, why are they vying to make fruit-flavored meat." Blair sadly discovered that the mango-flavored nutrient turned out to be his most acceptable flavor. Compressed biscuits, there is no desire to eat.
Limping weakly on the seat, Blair said weakly, "I'm going to starve to death on the nutrient. Auston, you should talk to the logistics team and get some normal-flavored nutrient."
"This batch was distributed directly from above."
Blair chuckled twice, "It must be the way that related households are looking. The army's military supplies are the bargaining chips in their basket."
"Blair, you said you want to conduct an on-site inspection of U167." Allston ignored Blair's complaint.
Blair picked up the e-book and covered his face. "I haven't found anything worth checking out yet."
Allston smiled helplessly, and continued to look in the direction of Ryan and the others. All the undeveloped planets in the area where he is stationed belong to the property of the Golden Crusade. Explore these unknown planets, discover useful things, evaluate the value of the planet, and then consider whether to list the planet for sale.
This is the result of the game between the army and the Imperial House.
The military expenditures given by the House of Representatives are far less than the expenditures of the army. After many communications, threats, inducements, and protests, the current results have been achieved.
After the newly discovered planet is listed for sale, the army will hand over the income to the country 20, and the rest will be owned by the army, which can be described as a very profitable thing. Therefore, the regiments, including the Golden Crusade regiment, most like to do while patrolling the borders are to explore unknown planets and discover useful things in them.
"What is your little man doing?" Blair, who had eaten a few mouthfuls of mango-flavored meat puree nutrient, was suspicious of his life, and found that Ryan on the ground had made an unusual move. The man brought a portable stove and was cooking. Noodle? !
"Oston, let's go down, I found something to study." Blair pushed his glasses and raised his mouth with an interesting smile.
Allston looked at him, no objection, "Okay."
Noon is the time for lunch. Super fighters are not made of iron and steel. They only need batteries to live. They need to rest and eat. On the open and flat ground 500 meters away from the forest, Diocletian signaled everyone to rest. Everyone worked together to clean up a camp, sat down to drink some water and take some nutrients, and had 40 minutes of rest time.
Harriet took a tube of peach-flavored nutrient. The ingredients package clearly stated that there were fish, chicken and a variety of vegetables. Calories...fat...carbohydrate...protein...full nutrition and full of calories. It is a must-have option for traveling away from home.
After a disgusting look, Harriet reluctantly sent it to the entrance.
"Every time I go on a mission, I miss the restaurant on the ship. The flavored dried shark made by old Bob is also delicious compared to the nutrient."
"Forget it, compared to the smelly dried sharks, I'll eat compressed dry food." Eugene with a beard tore a packet of compressed dry food with his teeth, revealing the brown dry food that was shiny but hard as a stone. If you use your teeth to bite directly, you will suspect that the teeth will fall. "I think old Bob is a good cook if he doesn't make dried sharks. The roast lamb he makes is so delicious."
"It's delicious, and the ingredients are particularly fragrant. I like the crispy shell of roast lamb. It's crunchy and oily. The sprinkled layer of sesame will make a noise when you bite." Harriet swallowed, her nose seemed to smell When it comes to the smell of roast lamb, "After eating, I lick my fingers and it is all smelling. By the way, the hooves are also delicious. The piece of meat on the foot ring is my favorite."
"Gudong."
Everyone couldn't help swallowing saliva.
The nutrient and compressed dry food in the hand are even more unpalatable.
Ryan in the corner didn't hear what they were talking about. He was thinking about what to eat at noon, whether it was noodles or steamed rice, or wontons.
Ryan took off his backpack and took out a folding stove from the inside. When opened, it was a pot used for marching. The pot used solid fuel found on a certain planet. A large piece of grapes can continue to burn for three days. How to use It is also very simple and safe. It can burn when exposed to oxygen, and extinguishes when it is isolated from oxygen. It is stable in nature.
Ryan poured a bottle of water into the pot, opened the valve at the bottom of the stove, air entered, and a small piece of dark fuel suddenly appeared in a fire, and the heat was amazing.
The tongue of fire licked the bottom of the pot, small bubbles began to appear in the water, and the bubbles began to grow, and gradually the pot of pure water began to boil. Ryan puts the noodles in, and also puts dehydrated vegetables in it. After out of the pan, just put the meat sauce he made in advance and mix it, it will be very delicious noodles.
Ryan suddenly felt that something was not right around him, so he looked around and saw a group of people looking at him eagerly, and some of his saliva was about to fall. As a half-soldier, Ryan knew to be vigilant and did a good job. His instinct had always been very accurate. There was no danger nearby, so he didn't draw out his weapon.
Harriet currently has the best relationship with Ryan, and she touched him next to him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Noodles." Ryan motioned to everyone.
Dehydrated vegetables can’t compare to fresh ones, but don’t worry too much about the nutrient loss during the task. When it meets water, the dehydrated vegetables begin to fill up with moisture and unfold. There are zucchini slices, tomatoes, lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, cabbage, and diced carrots. This kind of dehydrated vegetables is sold separately in the kitchen, and the variety is very complete. Ryan bought the one he likes.
Looking at the noodles, everyone didn't say anything further except for asking a question. Ryan went to the bowl with the cooked noodles under everyone's eyes, and there was no vegetable in the soup. Putting down the bowl, Ryan took out a pack of meat sauce from the bag under all eyes, and threw it directly into the bowl. Under the action of heat, the plastic wrapper on the outside melted naturally, and the aroma of the meat sauce was not retained. The earth radiated out and entered everyone's nasal cavity.
"It smells good," Harriet murmured.
Eugene: "It must be delicious."
Captain Derrick, "It's better than compressed dry food, and better than nutritional supplements."
Suddenly, Derrick shouted Zhengrong: "Sergeant Smith."
Ryan put the bowl down, stood up and waited for the order, "Yes."
"Sergeant, we are on a mission, not a picnic, who is allowed to bring stoves and food."
"Report Colonel, Article 36, Sub-Article 12 of Chapter 5 of the Ground Warfare of the Military Code stipulates that the food that soldiers carry during the exploration of unknown planets on the ground includes but is not limited to nutrients and compressed dry food. The appendix makes it clear that they can carry uniformly. One standard stove and a few foods are convenient for improving rations during ground operations and ensuring the physical and mental health of soldiers."
Derrick paused, quickly opened the personal terminal and opened the military code stored in it, and found that there are such regulations, and in the appendix at the end of the article, it clearly stipulates what the portable stove system looks like, and the food to be carried is not. What can there be, such as no smell, no bone spurs, no hindrance to other people, etc.
Others were also checking, Jimmy Lei yelled in surprise, the little soldier who was only in the second phase was so bluffing and startled, "He actually memorized the military rules, my God."
The old soldiers looked at each other. The military code has more than 5,000 pages, 13 categories, and tens of thousands of regulations. It covers all aspects of the soldiers’ combat life. When they join the army, they will be required to read and recite them. Three or forty years ago. Even exams, but now it's getting looser, and gradually you just need to know the general idea.
"Cow break." Eugene looked at the display on the personal terminal, then looked at Ryan, and exclaimed.
Captain Derrick coughed lightly, and glanced over Ryan's backpack inadvertently. "Sergeant, what else do you bring with you?"
"There are rice, wontons, ham, etc., which are my personal dry food for five days in this ground operation."
In this operation, each team had four days of exploration time. Just in case, Ryan prepared one day's dry food.
"Sergeant, do it all."
It wasn't Derrick who said it, nor was it what other people in the team said, although it was their voice. Unfamiliar sounds, everyone looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw the black mecha from far and near. After landing, the cockpit opened. General Dalton took the lead out of it, and several beautiful and wonderful longitudinal leaps reached the ground. The person who had just spoken looked a little embarrassed in the help of the code-named Zero AI.
It was a young man in a white coat, looking very ascetic.
"General." Everyone has it, standing at attention and saluting. "Big Colonel."
Allston replied, "Hello everyone."
Blair didn't pay much attention to it. As a colonel, he and ordinary soldiers are not in the same system. After simply responding, he turned his gaze on the noodles that Ryan hadn't had time to eat, "what's that?"
Ryan replied, "Major, that's meat sauce noodles."
"Let me see." The pale palms stretched out, as if with an ultimate taste.
Ryan did not deliberately go to see Auston, took the noodles and delivered them to Blair. Blair sniffed the noodles and smiled at Aston unclearly. He said, "It's delicious, sergeant, now I'll give it to you. An opportunity to help your comrades in arms, make all the food in your backpack for everyone to taste."
Others in the team communicated with their eyes and felt that it was not good to eat the ration carefully prepared by Ryan, but it was very happy to think of not taking nutrients. It was really tangled and happy, so distressed.
Ryan did not hesitate, "Yes, Colonel."
Five days of dry food for one person would certainly not meet the needs of the thirteen people present. Ryan tried his best to make everyone have a share. Distribute it to everyone when you're done. Don't worry about not having so many tableware. Teammates carry water bottles with them, so they can be used as bowls after the transformation. No chopsticks, knives and forks? Don’t worry, they will get along in order to eat.
Alston sat on the rock and looked at the personal terminal. As a leader at the bottom of the warrior, he would only fear and awe him, and stay away from him. On the other hand, Blair had already mixed into the team and tasted all kinds of food. Aston has become accustomed to it. Only when he is fighting against mechas and training, he can get in.
A bowl was delivered to the front.
Aston raised his head, looked up along the hand holding the nest, and saw Ryan's gentle face.
Ryan blinked at Auston, "General, please have a meal."
Allston couldn't help feeling soft. "Thank you Sergeant Lane."
Ryan lowered his voice and said, "I made beef rice with beef slices, quick-soaked vermicelli, shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, dehydrated vegetables and an egg."
The rice is cooked in advance by Lion, packed in the package and drained of air, and can be directly put into the water when cooking. The rice is soft and grainy, so it sucks up the soup. Ryan also carefully brought the vacuum-packed soup cubes, the only one made into rice, and the vacuum-packed egg after frying was also the only one.
Ryan gave all the good stuff to Alston.
"what did you eat?"
Ryan said, "I have eaten the bowl of noodles just now, and I am very full." Ryan will not waste the bowl of noodles. Ryan will take care of it by himself.
"Come and eat some too," Alston said embarrassedly, the first time he did this, showing intimacy where there were other people.
Ryan was inspired, and his heart was filled with joy, which was more refreshing than eating a big meal. However, the relationship between the two of them is still a secret. Before Alston is ready to make an announcement, he will pay attention to his own proportions.
Blair, who was running around, suddenly appeared, "Oh, the general's treatment is different."
