old light morning light

Chapter 136 "35"

"Tiggs is the head chef on our ship, so you should understand the origin of our funny name?"

Pigsty, you are raised as pigs, right?

"It's worth mentioning that before Tiggs came here, he worked as a cold food chef at the Principality Luxury Hotel in Gamil VI-2. Was it cold food..."

"Anyway, I have served as the head chef in a luxury hotel in the Principality, and my craftsmanship is really outstanding."

Speaking of this, Dover also stopped suddenly, fumbling around and didn't know what he wanted to do.

"You should try it if you get the chance."

"We have arrived."

After saying "Taste it", Dover took out a card similar to the data card that the old dog Kalinin gave me, and inserted it into a hidden card slot on the wall.

There is no holographic spotlight on the ground as an outline like other cabins, and the card slot used for unlocking is also hidden on the wall. Is there such a hidden room?

"drop!"

A flash of green light responded to Dover's move, completing the certification.

"Haha, it's nothing. As an important area, the weapon compartment is generally protected by structural armor, so there must be some differences from the usual doors and passages that can be seen at a glance."

Seeing me staring at the secret door that had popped open from the wall, Dover went on to explain.

"It's not that there is anything to hide. Automatic weapons are not high-tech things. It's just that structural armor is embedded in these walls. Using a conventional layout will affect the overall strength of the structure."

"This is also the essential difference between civilian ships and warships. You will learn it in school in the future. Now it's just showing you the actual things in advance."

"Ah."

He... said such a long string, I just replied "um", I'm afraid it's not too good...?
"This is our preparation room. Many spare parts will be stored here, and some ammunition and consumables with a higher level of security will also be allowed to be temporarily stored here."

The room is clean and tidy, and various parts and equipment around it are stored on the shelves. There is a platform in the middle of the room that looks like a processing table, and some packed cargo containers are stacked flat on the side.

But when I looked back, this guy didn't seem to care at all, and he was still trying his best to introduce these things that I could see in front of me.

"Team leader?"

Some other crew members looked at me with puzzled eyes and greeted him.

"This is a member of the investigation team and our new alumni. I came early and I happened to show him around."

"you……"

"Just don't let him touch it."

it is good……

He didn't even pay attention to my greeting. After hearing Dover's explanation, he glanced at me, turned around and walked away with a bunch of things he didn't know what they were.

The well-polished surface reflects cold light, it looks like it should be part of some weapon component?
On the shelves of light alloys around it, as he introduced, there are still a few light rockets. The light blue tail ring means that this is an anti-air rocket that is good at generating fragments.

It is worth mentioning that although the ammunition is stored here, it seems that the fuze has been removed, and it is also fixed on the shelf with elastic straps to prevent accidental collisions caused by the sudden loss of simulated gravity.

"This is connected to the passage leading to the maintenance bay of the fast rocket ejector. After the launch is completed, the launcher will be returned from the armament bay to the maintenance bay, where it will wait for maintenance."

Seeing that I was staring at these rockets in a daze, Hua Tuan picked up something from the table in the middle, then turned around and said to me.

"Do you want to go see it?"

Dover raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to prove something.

To prove that he has a high level of authority, then this guy is too good-looking, right?

Also, is this something I can see without paying?

"Is that so, can that one also visit?"

Since he is already like this, then I can't act like I don't care, can I?
It's better to pretend to be enthusiastic, at least say something to compliment his words.

"Originally it wasn't allowed, but if you want to see it, I have a way..."

He hesitated to speak, if he didn't do it deliberately, then this guy is really too good to see through!

"Really!"

Pretend to be surprised, and then praise him...

"Then I must ask you, please take me to see it!"

So what did he just take?
Pick it up casually, and don't know where to throw it. In short, it is a small thing that can be quickly hidden in the eyes of others.

And I don't have the impression that there was something there before, it doesn't seem to be a strange object that can attract attention?

Maybe something more common, could it be something like a key?
"... Lin Man?"

Someone tapped me on the shoulder.

Ah, I was just thinking about what he took, and I didn't notice that this guy was still muttering...

"Sorry, I got a little too excited!"

Or you just need to hold your breath, and then gently squeeze the air in your lungs to create a flushed and excited look.

"I mean, if you want to see it, as long as you don't get into a working weapon, you can touch it or something..."

If you have a chance, you should pay more attention to his right hand. At least you should pay attention to where he can put things in, so as to avoid people doing bad things with ignorant techniques in the future.

"Well, look at you, the roots of your ears are red, you don't have to be so... overly excited."

Very well, he has completely believed my nonsense just now.

Oops~
In the end, these small tricks are the most reliable. It's all nonsense about the relationship between households and a bright future.

In the end, I still relied on the previously considered "heresy" to achieve my goal, and subconsciously used the "sexy" tricks that people didn't talk about, and I really lived up to their evaluation of me.

Hey, have I reached such a heavy psychological burden?
That dream did indeed have an unknowing effect on my psychology... It should be said that my psychology has changed, so that's why I had such a dream...

"Let's go, you can enter the corridor from the door here, and you can go directly to the fast rocket maintenance module C3."

Seeing that I was still able to respond to his words, Dover failed to see through my contradictory mental activity.

I'm actually secretly making moral excuses for using a small trick. If the old dog Kalinin, or Moral, finds out, they will definitely laugh at me...

So in the end am I going to be schizophrenic?

Become an out-and-out con artist, living a life like a walking corpse every day, soaked in one lie after another?

Humph, that's not bad.

At least it won't be like now, living in fear every day, worrying about this and that, always guarding against others to hurt me.

"Suspicious by nature."

"what?"

Maybe he heard me mumbling something unconsciously. Dover, who was leading the way in high spirits, thought I was calling him, so he ran back and leaned against me.

Fortunately, I just used Imperial language, and I muttered very quietly, otherwise I don’t know how to explain it now.

"Ah, it's okay, I said, is the air in here not very good?"

"Suspicious by nature" in the imperial language sounded more like a word in the Alliance language, describing the hot and humid climate, so it happened that the bad air was used here to prevaricate him.

Indeed, half-heard and half-guessed, the two sentences are indeed very similar.

"It's normal for the air to be bad. The fan will only be turned on in the combat state. Normally, there are only the most basic air ducts in this passage for ventilation."

I have to say that the sensitivity of this chatterbox is quite excellent, but it can respond immediately to any trouble, but it's a pity...

Failed so completely on the tact level that watching this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah.

But fortunately, I clearly felt my subconscious activities, and promptly suppressed and prevaricated.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be really difficult to insert this data card into the damn combat network.

"Puff~!"

At the end of the not too long passage is an airtight door, judging from the heavy handle, this door is quite heavy.

"If you go any further, you will have to enter outside the isolation and protection compartment. This is already considered the external structure of the ship, and it is not protected by the structural armor and supporting frame."

Pushing open the heavy airtight door, maybe the pressure supporter was only seen behind the armored door at the same time, otherwise this guy wouldn't have easily pushed this thing open.

"...Pay attention to the load, pass through U2..."

The cabin is not as small and dark as I imagined, but rather like an open two-story factory building.

"Ding dong!"

"Be lighter, that thing can't be dropped!"

According to the structure, we are located in the left corridor on the second floor, although the entire second floor only has an "L" shaped corridor on the left and front.

There was this strange smell in the air, it smelled like some kind of overripe fruit, but it was slightly pungent.

"Yes, take out all these cooling pastes, and replace them with new ones!"

I seem to have smelled a similar smell in the experimental class at Imperial College before. Think about it, it should be the smell of propellant from a small recoil jet, right?

"...The lubrication here needs to be done again, wait a minute..."

Although the place below is not crowded, it is still a lively scene. Some people are constantly taking things out of the packaging boxes, and some people are carrying something like a small bucket, and are smearing on the few unknown machines parked in the middle. .

The lifting machinery above the "factory building" is still hanging a bundle of fixed light rockets, and it is tremblingly sliding towards the machine on the left.
