Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr A certain asteroid belt of the Federation was originally one of the Federation's interstellar flight routes. However, several hundred years ago, the asteroids in this space began to drift about in all directions, their trajectories extremely strange and erratic. There had been many instances of ships crashing into asteroids due to not being able to avoid them in time, and so this flight route was gradually abandoned by the Federation...
No one knew that in the heart of the asteroid belt, there was a space fortress disguised as a large asteroid mountain. Hidden inside was a secret military base of the Federation...
Meanwhile, those small asteroids moving strangely around it were actually the guardian satellites of the space fortress. Once they discovered an unidentified ship deviating from its flight route, they would ram into the ship and drive it away. If the other party insisted on entering, the guardian satellites would cause a tragic collision, directly destroying the ship.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon in the Federation. In the space fortress, the several monitoring personnel responsible for monitoring the situation around the asteroid belt were currently sipping on hot tea in contentment. After a busy morning, they could finally relax and chat for a while after lunch.
"Who would have thought that we would receive nine ships from the new cadets in just one morning. We've been so busy..." grumbled one of the monitoring personnel, a young corporal, as he stretched lazily.
"Xiao Lin, you are a new recruit who has just been sent here, so you don't know. This time every year is our busiest time. All the cadets who have been admitted into the Top Military Academy will be brought here," said a second lieutenant with a smile. "This is just the beginning. I believe we will be even busier in the afternoon. The ships from the various planets picking up the new cadets will definitely arrive today."
The second lieutenant's words made the other officers nod in agreement. They had already worked in this fortress for two to three years, so they were all well aware of this situation.
When the corporal called Xiao Lin heard this, he slapped his forehead exaggeratedly and wailed, "Heavens, even more in the afternoon? I'll definitely collapse from exhaustion. "
The second lieutenant knocked him on the head exasperatedly, and scolded jokingly, "You're tired from just this? What a useless fellow. "
Xiao Lin, who had been taught a lesson, hurriedly expressed to the captain his tenacious spirit that was not afraid of hardship and fatigue. His antics made the monitoring station burst into laughter again, and the tiredness from the morning seemed to slowly disappear amidst the laughter.
Although the conditions in the stronghold were good in all aspects, the work here was relatively monotonous compared to other bases. This was especially true for the monitoring personnel. Every day, they had to face the meteorite zone that remained unchanged for thousands of years, and it was easy for them to develop a mentality of boredom. Therefore, they had learned to adjust themselves. During working hours, they would not be silent all the time. Instead, they would chat and laugh to adjust their mood.
After laughing for a while, Xiao Lin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly burst into laughter.
The second lieutenant glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you again?" This kid would have some kind of situation every day, and the second lieutenant was already used to it.
Xiao Lin covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "I was just laughing at those cadets. When they got off the ship, they were all trembling with fear, as obedient as a rabbit. I always thought that those who could get into the First Men's Military Academy were all geniuses, so they would be a little unruly, or have an air of arrogance about them..."
The second lieutenant smiled and said, "That's now. They weren't like this before, just as unruly and unruly as you said..."
Xiao Lin was curious at these words and quickly asked, "Leader, why do you say that?"
The second lieutenant said, "Actually, I didn't experience that period myself. I only heard it from my old leader. Those cadets in the past were not so obedient. Just as you said, they were all kinds of difficult to deal with, making a mess of this place. In the end, the chief of the base could not take it anymore and reported it to the higher-ups. After that, the situation took a turn for the better, gradually becoming how it is now. All of the cadets are very obedient. "
"Could it be that the quality of the cadets has improved? Or perhaps the Scout Academy has guided them? "asked Xiao Lin.
The second lieutenant smiled and said, "How is that possible? Our Federation has always respected the strong. In order to nurture the strong, the Scout Academy will not restrict the competitive nature of the cadets. "
"Then why are these cadets so obedient?" Xiao Lin could not understand it.
At this time, one of the staff sergeants smiled and said, "That's because the spaceships that brought these cadets here are all the most outstanding spaceships in the military, and the members inside are all veteran ace soldiers. Even if these cadets are prodigies, peerless geniuses, they can only bow their heads before us ace soldiers. Besides, the orders given by military headquarters are to let the veterans of the spaceships properly subdue these prodigies, letting them understand that they are still very insignificant and have no right to be arrogant... "
Xiao Lin's mouth dropped open in shock. "In other words, these cadets have all been subdued by our ace soldiers?"
"Exactly!" Another sergeant laughed and said teasingly, "It's rare for our Xiao Lin to be so smart for once..."
Xiao Lin did not seem to notice the sarcasm in the sergeant's words. He replied shamelessly, "Of course, I've always been the smartest!" This drew another round of laughter from the monitoring station.
"Everyone, pay attention! Another spaceship is coming from outside!" The smiling second lieutenant suddenly noticed that a spaceship had entered their monitoring range, and he quickly reminded his team members.
Everyone immediately stopped laughing and returned to their work stations to begin their work.
"Checking the data. Preliminary confirmation: it's the 7th Bugle Call heading to the planet of Doha!" One of the sergeants pulled up the data on the spaceship and found a match.
"The other has sent a signal requesting entry. The password of the signal has been confirmed!" Xiao Lin analysed the signal source sent by the 7th Bugle Call, and after confirming that there was no error, he reported to his team leader.
The second lieutenant nodded and ordered, "Connect to the signal source!"
Following this command, the transparent glass in front of the monitoring station suddenly lit up, and then a familiar figure appeared on it. It turned out that this observation window which had been used to look out at the stars was also a large screen.
When the second lieutenant saw that figure, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Senior Colonel Tian Fang! Hello! "
Senior Colonel Tian Fang, who was also the captain of the 7th Bugle Call, smiled wryly at the greeting and said, "Hello!"
"Please wait for a moment. We will arrange for your spaceship to dock at the docks." The second lieutenant sent the data on the 7th Bugle Call to the guidance department. Very quickly, the guidance department reported back and connected to the 7th Bugle Call's communication channel.
Only after Senior Colonel Tian Fang's figure had disappeared from the large screen did the second lieutenant sigh softly. Even if it was just an image, the pressure that Senior Colonel Tian Fang had given him was still extremely great. This was probably the influence of the strong.
Xiao Lin wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said somewhat fearfully, "Just seeing Senior Colonel Tian Fang's virtual image is enough to make me feel breathless. So strong! Who exactly is Senior Colonel Tian Fang?"
The second lieutenant's face was filled with admiration as he said, "He is the only one among the starship captains who has entered Domain. Although he is not a professional mecha operator, his mecha piloting skills have already reached ace operator level. He is the Earth Prime of our Federation's Heaven and Earth Prime!"
"Ah, so he is the Earth Prime of the Heaven and Earth Prime..." Xiao Lin's eyes were filled with admiration. Compared to the legendary figures of god-class operators, ace operators were undoubtedly more down-to-earth. They were also the targets that countless warriors admired and wanted to become.
"Why would such a powerful character be sent on this mission?" Xiao Lin felt a little indignant on Senior Colonel Tian Fang's behalf.
"The place he went to is Doha. There are new students from the Central Scout Academy there, and it is the place where the outstanding prodigies of our Federation are gathered. Without someone like Senior Colonel Tian Fang, would they be able to keep those top-class prodigies in check?" The second lieutenant reprimanded Xiao Lin for his shallow thinking. Although Doha had indeed not produced any top-class prodigies in recent years, one should never underestimate this veteran Scout Academy with deep roots. Who knew if a monster might appear from there?
Senior Colonel Tian Fang did not know of the discussion going on in the monitoring room because of his appearance. He had already relinquished his position as captain, and was standing in front of the screen looking gloomily at the new students busily working in the main control room.
Although the students had studied for a day and a night, they were still a little shaky at operating the ship. There were several times when they were unable to control the ship to the coordinates requested by the stronghold, which made the guide on the other side a little dissatisfied.
Senior Colonel Tian Fang felt so embarrassed that he wanted to die. He knew that the staff in the stronghold must be saying that Senior Colonel Tian Fang was definitely drunk again... his reputation would definitely be tarnished here, but he could not tell anyone, because the truth was even more embarrassing.
Senior Colonel Tian Fang saw Ling Lan sitting in the captain's seat with a calm expression, as if she was not worried at all that the new students would destroy the ship. He could not help but ask, "Why aren't you nervous at all?"
"The sky wants to rain, and the mother wants to marry! Just do what needs to be done! " Ling Lan replied nonchalantly. As long as the ship was not completely destroyed, she had no objections at all. After all, this ship was not hers.
Senior Colonel Tian Fang was momentarily stifled, and said gloomily, "I've never seen anyone as daring as you."
Ling Lan's lips quirked. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take your ship." Without hesitation, she stabbed another knife into Senior Colonel Tian Fang's heart.
Senior Colonel Tian Fang was livid. He said hatefully, "I don't know who raised such a crazy son like you... hells, doing things that no one would dare to do."
Ling Lan's lips quirked slightly. "What, do you want to know? Or do you want to have a good spar with my father? "
For some reason, Senior Colonel Tian Fang once again felt an unprecedented sense of danger. His instincts told him not to answer no matter what, but the indignation in his heart made him blurt out, "Of course, I can't fight the young, but can't I fight the old?"
Ling Lan slowly approached Senior Colonel Tian Fang, and said softly, "I welcome you to go find General Ling Xiao!" Ling Lan's words were filled with mockery, clearly very happy to see Senior Colonel Tian Fang go find her father for a spar.
"General... General Ling Xiao!" Senior Colonel Tian Fang's jaw dropped, stunned by Ling Lan's answer. However, he did not suspect anything. Firstly, after this one day and night of interaction, he knew that Ling Lan would not stoop to lying, and secondly, only General Ling Xiao would be able to give birth to a son as aberrant as Ling Lan. At this time, Senior Colonel Tian Fang had already forgotten the Federation's research proving that the innate genes of the descendants of god-class operators would plummet.
