Counterfeit Hero

Milan couldn't bear it anymore and ran away! He picked up a gun and said angrily: "Damn fat man, are you deliberately seeking death today?"

"boom!"

A bullet hit Tian Xingjian's foot.

The fat man was startled and jumped up quickly, his whole body shaking, like a dog wagging its tail at its owner. His fat face was immediately filled with a flattering smile, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. This is absolutely true." It is undoubtedly the work of the beautiful and intelligent Miss Milan."

Seeing that Milan seemed to be still angry and had a tendency to get angry again, the fat man, who knew that this seemingly quiet woman was actually a powder keg, quickly changed the subject and said: "What kind of metal is this mecha made of?"

Mentioning his most proud masterpiece, Milan seemed to lose some of his anger, threw away the gun in his hand, clapped his hands and said: "Teach you a good boy, this is the biological two-state metal invented by Professor Boswell and I, the experiment code is bm3633 , it hasn’t been officially named yet.”

Milan walked towards the giant computer against the wall, motioning for the fat man to follow, and continued: "This metal has the advantages of liquid metal, but does not have its disadvantages. Of course, the price is also not cheaper than liquid metal. In some aspects It's even rarer than liquid metal."

Opening a document on the touch screen of the computer, Milan pointed to a plant on the document and said to the fat man: "This kind of metal can only be obtained through this kind of gold-eating grass. This kind of grass can only be obtained from the North Pole of Milok." Only exist. The number is very rare. Since the soil in the Arctic Circle contains natural radioactive substances and super-heavy metal particles, basically no living things can survive there. This kind of grass is the only owner there. Among the nutrients it maintains, the metal The proportion of it is very heavy, and metals that cannot be absorbed will be excreted from the body. This excrement is the raw stone of biological two-state metals."

"Professor Boswell discovered the properties of this metal." Milan quickly turned a ball pen back and forth on his slender fingers. His small nose wrinkled up proudly and said, "I used gold-devouring grass and raw stones. The repellency completes this alloy!!”

The fat man understood: "In other words, the liquid metal is the biological cells of the golden grass that make the metal in a liquid state. When the biological cells are forcibly isolated or closed, the metal, which is similar to biological fluid, will return to a solid state. , although the gold-eating grass can change the form of metal, this metal is originally excrement that it cannot absorb, so it avoids the phenomenon of phagocytosis of metal by biological cells. Then mix the memory alloy to speed up the change process, so there is This super alloy. Is that so?”

"The answer is correct." A voice came from behind the fat man. The fat man turned around and saw that it was Professor Boswell.

The old man patted the fat man on the head with some surprise and said: "Your understanding is very good. You can infer the experimental ideas from Milan's words. It seems that letting you only do mechanical maintenance is overkill."

The old man turned around and said to Milan: "Show him the manufacturing theory and data of this mecha." Then he said to the fat man: "Remember to read the last sentence clearly. If you have any questions, Milan will help you answer them. "

The flattered fat man quickly read the document, but the last sentence made him tremble and feel at a loss.

At the end of this document, which records various data, manufacturing theories, and experimental results of the mecha, it is clearly written: This document is an S-class top-secret document of the LeRay Federation.

Fatty no longer dared to imagine what would be the only outcome for a mechanical repairman who was working hard to get a reprieve from death after seeing this S-class top-secret document.

"Two years!" A voice rang in Fatty's ears. This voice sounded like a devil to Fatty. It was Boswell who took advantage of his curiosity to frame him.

The old man said with a cold face: "You have to work here for at least two years. Once this document is declassified or the confidentiality level is lowered to level B, you can stay here with peace of mind for these two years."

The fat man was a little confused and thought to himself: "Don't I have a reprieve from death? What does he mean by two years?"

*************

The brutal war continues.

The Gacharin Empire stepped up its ground offensive against Milok. The Leray Federation was almost completely destroyed due to air power. The main connection between the cities was cut off by the imperial army. The guard troops in each city fell into a situation of fighting on their own. Although they defended desperately, the five cities inevitably fell. fell into the hands of the invaders.

War is a continuation of politics, and politics is to protect the development needs of one's own people. Although the development of nuclear technology could easily destroy a planet thousands of years ago, under the constraints of the Space War Convention and for practical needs, neither warring party would use nuclear weapons that would bring unbearable consequences to their own citizens. arms.

It is precisely because of this that the ground resistance on the planet Mirok can continue.

However, how long can this hopeless resistance last? The federal soldiers were a little confused. If the Federation cannot form an advantage in the air, then the ground troops will be wiped out one by one, and the blood and sacrifices will only result in unnecessary casualties.

Confederate radio stations called for resistance every day, and the resistance never stopped. Three of the five fallen cities were in complete ruins, and tens of millions of people died in the fighting. Even so, underground resistance organizations began to appear in these cities. These resistance organizations spontaneously formed by separated federal soldiers quickly gathered together in accordance with the "Code for Soldiers Behind Enemy Lines" and constantly harassed the enemy with almost tattered weapons. They were tenacious. And stubborn.

Is this a spark that is about to sprout or a flickering light that is about to extinguish on the ashes...

Everyone's eyes are on the junction of the Atlantis star field and the LeLei central star field... Only by breaking through here can the Newton galaxy return to the hands of the Federation.

Wormholes are the only way for humans to conquer the universe across distances of space and time. Humans have used natural wormholes between star fields to create space jump channels. The distance of tens of thousands of light years has been shortened to almost the blink of an eye. There is no way for a star battleship to deploy its energy defense cover when making a space jump. A warship without an energy defense cover will be completely destroyed by a single salvo from the main guns of three enemy warships.

The border between Atlantis and LeLei is actually two huge space areas tens of thousands of light years apart. These two areas are the entrances to the wormhole on both sides.

The Imperial Army now guards the entrance to the Atlantis star field, where the Gacharin Empire's space fleet is stationed. Several fleets guard a part of this huge space. They can detect any flying objects that do not belong to the empire that appear in this space in the shortest possible time, and divide, surround or destroy them. .

The advantage of the Federation is that no one knows at what moment these vengeful battleships will suddenly appear in front of the Imperial Army. No battleship's main gun can be charged within two minutes, and no one knows where the leaping federal battleship will appear in a specific space. After the jump, it only takes three minutes for the battleship to open the energy defense cover.

Even so, for the Leray Federation, this is still a battle destined to begin with sacrifice.

So, who goes first?

To become the target of enemy attacks, to guard the passage exit with blood, and to bear the sacrifice for the fleet behind.

This pointed question made the soldiers of the local fleet in Newton System sneer, and they sneered at the person who asked this question.

This group of Lele people said: "Let's go! Let's get back what we lost!!!"

Their eyes were red and no one dared to snatch them.

Two months ago, after losing more than 50% of its battleships, this local fleet, which was responsible for garrisoning the Newton system and was almost entirely composed of local soldiers from the Miroc twin stars, retreated to the central star field of Lere in humiliation.

They are miserable.

Their homes and relatives are suffering from war, but they are powerless to do anything.

Every day spent in the Lelei Central Star Territory was torture and suffering. This heart-wrenching humiliation made people mad. They train non-stop and sleep only three hours a day.

In fact, not even three hours! They wake up from nightmares every day, or wake up crying uncontrollably... and can never fall back to sleep...

New March 2060

The Leray Federation assembled a fleet that accounted for more than half of the country's total military strength and began a storming attack on the jumping point...

When the Newton Galaxy local fleet, which had replenished its troops and warships, disappeared one after another in a distorted light and shadow without looking back.

Federal President Hamilton issued his third national televised address since the outbreak of the war.

He stood in front of the Independence Monument, which represents freedom and unity. On the TV screen behind him, footage of reporters risking their lives to capture the fall of various planets was played on the TV screen. These footage was sent back to the capital and made into a special feature: " Who is killing our relatives?

The special feature is produced with black and white images throughout, and only one color is restored, the color of blood. Throughout the feature, all the blood is of its original color, miserable and bright.

A huge explosion sounded in the most prosperous area of ​​​​the city, and amid heart-rending cries, a father hugged a dead little boy tightly. He buried his head on the little boy's forehead and kept kissing him. Tears mixed with snot flowed on the little boy's face.

More tragedy happened and the reporter left.

When the reporter passed by there again a few hours later, the father was still there. He was holding his child and sitting in the middle of the running crowd, staring at the camera with a dead expression. The photographer moved, his eyes He also moved, as if the camera was pulling his dull eyes. Finally, the photographer walked away step by step, and the camera zoomed further and further away. When the father became very small in the picture, people could still see his eyes staring at the camera, which was a kind of despair and emptiness.

............

A bleeding soldier smiled at the photographer and said: "We have no fear, we are resisting. If you can see...Mom, I love you." Three minutes later, he died in uncontrollable pain.

............

"Son of a bitch! Come on." A corporal who was shooting roared. He and his team repelled the enemy's attacks time and time again. Behind him is the airport. The enemy's airborne infantry is approaching, and the fighter planes are seizing the time to move. They must hold on and there is no place to retreat. The camera panned across the corporal's companions, and when it turned back, a bullet penetrated the corporal's head. He suddenly fell to the dirt, and the spray-like blood dyed the entire lens red. The soldiers nearby rushed up and pressed his wounds in vain, crying loudly: "Help! Medical soldiers!"

............

There are many more pictures like this...

Everyone who watched the feature cried. They remember these images forever.

"We must remember these images, and they continue to be played out in Miloc, and we have no right to abandon them," the president said.

The president finally said: "Blood debt!... Blood payment!"
