old light morning light

"Then I should thank you, right?"

Kalinin just smiled at me.

"Since I know that I won't be able to go back to the hospital for a while, then I think this respectable elder should have arranged for me in advance, right?"

He seems to have changed a car, compared to the previous vehicle that can use ground effects, this one seems to be just a simple car.

It just looks a little more luxurious.

"What a pity, is there any arrangement?"

The slot next to the driver's seat was filled with cigarette ashes and leftover filters, and half a floppy disk popped out of the car radio port on one side, maybe a stack of honest music discs or something?
"Really bad driving habits."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

"I think I learned another lesson today."

"A lesson?"

"What class did you take?"

What class did I take... I feel that I am shameless, and it seems that I can improve again.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, just think I'm talking to myself."

"Hmph, you better be."

Kalinin, who was standing at the door, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and then got into the car.

I want to know if his behavior of throwing cigarette butts is caught by the surveillance on the campus, will he be fined...

"beep!"

what sound?
"beep!"

Appears to be a zone broadcast.

The huge beeping sound resounded through the entire campus through the broadcast node.

"beep!"

"Oh, just in time, let's go to see the excitement."

"lively?"

"Remember when you passed by the central square of District S when you were reporting?"

The central plaza in District S?

Speaking of it, it seems that there is indeed such a place.

"Do you know the function of that square?"

After seeing me nodding in affirmative, Kalinin continued to ask questions.

"As I remember, it seems that the ship can be allowed to land. It is essentially an open apron..."

So, he mentioned this all of a sudden, plus this broadcast on campus was obviously a beep?

"Is there something about to land there?"

"Haha, just get to know it with your own eyes and it's over. Anyway, we are not far away now."

"By the way, remember your seat belt."

"Bah...!"

"The sky outside the window has become very dark and dark~"

"Remember what my mother said, it's going to rain~"

While holding the steering wheel, Kalinin pushed the half of the tape that had been hanging outside into the radio.

This ancient mechanism that has been through thousands of years makes a sound, and the sound quality is unbelievable and beautiful.

"The wind is rustling and singing a cappella, as if someone is whispering in the wind~"

"The rain falls from the sky like crystal gems~"

"It's a pity that my grown-up heart has already buried the dead dreams of the past~"

"Can't be nourished~"

A dead dream...?
"I didn't expect you to listen to such a sad song."

The roar of the engine gradually drowned out the music that was about to dissipate, just like the lyrics sang, the indifferent reality will eventually bury the immature ideal.

Kalinin put one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the door with the window wide open.

After hearing my complaints, his expression showed a little unnaturalness, but he quickly returned to normal.

"It released it by itself, maybe it just happened to play this song."

A good excuse, and maybe that's the truth.

"Just here."

Before the next piece of music was released, Kalinin directly pulled out the tape again, restoring it to the state where it was half stuck outside.

At the same time, the car stopped on the hillside beside the road.

Does this guy have a habit of parking halfway?

Although I don't understand why I have to stop here, but seeing that this guy has already opened the door and got off the car on his own, I have no choice but to do so first...

No, you don't know how to listen to songs to make him feel depressed, right?
Not so much, right?

"Here."

A sudden sound interrupted my wild thoughts, and Kalinin, who was leaning against a tree on the hillside, raised his chin towards me, as if to signal me to look into the distance.

"Normally, landings are not allowed on the apron in the central square of area S. Most of the visiting ships will land on the satellite apron in block S6."

"Here you can directly see the entire S6 apron site from a commanding height."

Looking in the direction where Kalinin raised his chin, he could indeed see the reinforced ground, some areas isolated by holographic projections, warning signs, and some equipment and supplies that looked like containers.

"In addition to not allowing direct jump access and providing heavy maintenance services, this can be a simple surface dock."

"But I can't see any auxiliary facilities related to the so-called dock."

"Normally, they're hiding underneath."

"Hi~!"

The sound of high-speed airflow keeps coming from outside the clouds in the distance, and the ships that are about to visit are already approaching here.

It's also fun to say, although it is called the so-called navy, our warships are flying in the air.

Then although warships fly in the air, they are not good at flying in the atmosphere.

Except for some specially designed types with unique aerodynamic shapes and special auxiliary propellers, most ships, regardless of size, will make this harsh, piercing sound when navigating in the atmosphere.

"It sounds like the tonnage is not too large."

Although judging from the turbulent clouds and the jet stream that can roughly be observed with the naked eye, it is not a visitor with a large tonnage like a battleship.

"But the tonnage should not be too small, maybe a cruiser."

It is undeniable that it still makes a loud noise, and it is still unacceptable at such a long distance.

"beep!"

The original gray-green striped holographic projection suddenly changed to a striking yellow-black color, and the dark gray platform, which was roughly flush with the ground, seemed to be lifted slightly.

More projections shot out on the ground, like a strip of lights indicating the arrival of those who came.

However, at this time, it is also an automatic driving mode remotely controlled by the ground. Whether or not there are these projected navigation marks is actually of little significance to this ship.

Cloud breaks!
The huge gray hull blows away all the clouds, and you can already witness the landing of a warship of the Alliance Navy at close range without any obstruction!
The heat exchange plate at the stern protruded high, and the gray-green tail flame shot out straight.

The six joint turrets are neatly arranged in two groups on the structure extending from the front of the hull, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"patrol……!"

I could no longer hear Kalinin's voice, and we could only squat with our ears covered to relieve the discomfort.

Does he mean to say it's a cruiser?

"Hiss~! Woo!"

The loud noise and wind pressure made it difficult to stand, it was hard to imagine why he got out of the car, wouldn't it be better if we just sat in the car!
"Hiss~!!!"

The dust on the ground was rolled up straight, and it looked like smoke was released.

But fortunately, this uncomfortable state didn't last too long. After successfully landing, the warship quickly turned off the main engine, and slowly calmed down.

Only the protruding heat exchange plate still faintly emits magnificent colors. I remember that in the naval facilities of the empire, an old master told me that this is the emission of some elements in the material excited by high energy.

If there is special equipment, the material composition of the heat exchange plate can be deduced by analyzing the behavior of the spectrum.

This is also a common espionage method.

"You did it on purpose!"

"Did you bring me here to feel the noise on purpose?"

"Oh, am I this kind of person?"

Kalinin spread his hands at me.

"How about it, is it shocking?"

"Don't change the subject."

Immediately, the person in front of him showed a kind of:
"Yes, but what can you do to me?" A normal look.

cut!
This bastard!
Looking back, the visiting cruiser had already landed and berthed successfully. A platform had been raised on the originally flat ground, and there was even a gantry crane.

It's hard not to wonder how they hid these things underground before.

Originally, all the details of the cruiser could be observed from a condescending height, but unfortunately some gantry and holographic projections blocked most of the sight.

Some holographic images are also projected on both sides of the hull, such as the logo of the Alliance Navy and the logo of some industrial suppliers.

This is the same marking painted on the ship's flanks.

"Magnetic blast team."

Some concentric circles are nested together, and the color becomes darker as you go outside. A golden lightning pattern hits the bull's-eye straight, and is stretched and extended through the circular pattern.

"Magnetic blast team?"

AAR-47, this is the white paint on the square patterns arranged on the flanks, maybe it is the serial number of this cruiser or something.

"A special operations team attached to the Special Tactics Command."

"A special squadron capable of operating in a complex electromagnetic environment, equipped with a high-power gravitational wave radar and radiation tuner."

"The dark gray exterior paint also uses the latest inductance-3 anti-magnetic coating, which can greatly prevent the equipment it is mounted on from being interfered by a severely distorted magnetic field."

Magnetic blast team?
"Some information indicates that the team has 4 assault cruisers derived from the Gray Feather-class cruiser and 2 electronic attack ships derived from the Nebula-class attack battlecruiser."

"Although there is no official name for the two types of specialized ships, everyone refers to the two types of ships as the magnetic explosion class."

"Because of the different levels, there is a natural distinction, so they are the Magnetic Explosion-class assault cruiser and the Magnetic Explosion-class attack battlecruiser."

"So the ship in front of us is the so-called Magnetic Explosion-class assault cruiser?"

"In theory, absolutely correct."

Kalinin squinted his eyes and looked straight at the visiting "guest", which gave the illusion that the visitor was not friendly.

This feeling flashed by, making people even more puzzled.

"Are you OK?"
