Chapter 505 Mission
The star Atlantis is on the other side of the resident galaxy. Although it is in the same galaxy, its distance from star number 732 is 732 It is twice as long as the star to go to the central star area. Even using a military-standard starship, it will take more than two days to arrive.
If you take an ordinary sailing ship there, you can easily spend two days.
But the problem lies in the Tenglong, which is produced by the military and has strict management of the entry and exit of people and objects. The broadcast that day warned them that the spacecraft would be militarized. Unless there are special circumstances, passengers are not allowed to move around at will. If they stay outside the corridor for a long time, a patrol sergeant will come to remind them.
So this lounge is probably the only place they can move around in the next two days.
Obviously the military has taken their needs into consideration. The lounge is fully prepared and has everything. There are also a lot of convenient and quick meals in the cupboard, which is enough for them to last until they reach Atlantis.
But the space with four strangers still seemed a bit crowded. Especially for someone like Jiang Hui, given her mental sensitivity, she simply couldn't get used to being in the same place with several strangers, but there was nothing she could do about it. It is probably not a small worry for them.
Since she came in in the morning, there has been no communication between the few people, as if the tense atmosphere she felt when she first came in was just an illusion. There was no communication between them, and there was no communication between Jiang Hui and them. They spent the morning quietly and peacefully.
This morning, Jiang Hui didn't really sit in a daze. She has a lot on her plate and can't afford to waste it. The assembly of the D-class mecha has come to an end for the time being, but Songbai doesn't have much clue about the final assembly yet. Recently, Jiang Hui has been absorbing a large number of professional books related to mecha engines, hoping to find some clues as soon as possible.
There are really not many requirements, as long as the engine of Songbai can be clearly analyzed... Oh no, it would be good to be able to reproduce the lowest level one. Now Songbai just lacks a real engine to actually start it. Jiang Huichang has thought about piloting a mecha in the conscious space for a long time, but unfortunately he has not been able to realize it for several years, and now he is only one step away.
Hearing the noise over there, Jiang Hui suddenly realized that it was already noon and it was time to eat.
This is a strange thing. I don’t know if it was because he was too nervous, but Jiang Hui felt particularly hungry today. Thinking that I have to take care of my own meals these two days, I naturally can't avoid dealing with him. Seeing that someone was already unpacking the fast food over there, Jiang Hui walked over slowly, planning to just grab a piece and settle it.
Two of the three companions did not move their feet from beginning to end. They were leaning on the sofa with a big sword, and there was a vacuum around them. No one dared to come close. The other one occupied the table, looking very focused and not knowing what he was doing.
The person unpacking the fast food in the open tea room is another young man with a dark complexion. He is tall and strong, with clear eyebrows, and he looks quite frank.
Jiang Hui usually looks at the surface when looking at people. A quick glance is enough. After a brief glance, he stopped looking at it and concentrated on choosing his lunch. Therefore, he did not notice that after she looked back, The other party is also looking at her.
The girl is very thin, and her appearance is quite bright, but there is a trace of deep desolation between her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are sharp, her demeanor is calm, and she has a strong sense of uniqueness all over her body, which is impossible to ignore.
But people are really unfamiliar. He saw the other party's temporary sign, Jiang Hui? There seemed to be no family named Jiang in the circle he knew, and he hadn't heard of any new family members named Jiang.
“Hello.” Jiang Hui was unpacking things in a relaxed manner, but the person next to her took the initiative to say hello to her.
Jiang Hui was a little surprised, because she didn't expect this person to say hello to her and reply: "Hello." "Sorry, I just accidentally saw your name on the sign. You don’t have any questions for Jiang. I’m Sanger Taylor, you can call me Taylor.” The boy’s eyes flashed with curiosity, but it was not annoying, with a sense of frankness unique to young people, without any malice.
Of course Jiang Hui wouldn't care about the other person calling him without permission after seeing his sign. He was just calling him by name, and there was nothing to be angry about. Later, the other party also introduced himself. He was obviously a good-tempered person of the same age.
"Taylor, you can also call me by my name directly." Jiang Hui said, shaking hands with the other party lightly.
Jiang Hui doesn't like to socialize, but she is not a social idiot, so normal communication will not be a problem.
When she arrived here, she was not familiar with the other people, and they had no desire to communicate with her. Jiang Hui did not get close to her. Now this was a good opportunity to communicate.
Now that the conversation has started, I don’t know if it’s her imagination, but the atmosphere in the entire lounge is much more relaxed, and there is no longer a weird sense of tension like before.
Jiang Hui communicated with this classmate named Taylor and learned that he was also a student at an intermediate college. He was the same age as her and was currently studying at Elongo Intermediate College in the Central Star District.
Jiang Hui was a little surprised. The Ailonga Intermediate College was one of the top ten intermediate colleges in the Central Star Region the year before last. This classmate Taylor was from there, but he didn't have the arrogance of students from famous schools.
The other party asked about the college Jiang Hui attended. She was not embarrassed at all, so she complied openly. Hearing this, the other party didn't see any reaction, but seemed to be more interested in her. He asked her about the natural scenery in the resident galaxy, saying that he planned to take a walk around here after the exam.
Yes, although the military controls the outbound journey so strictly, there are no requirements for the return journey. They only give a reimbursement amount and you need to book your own return ticket. So after finishing the exam, Jiang Hui might be able to continue wandering around the planet Atlantis before going back, which would be considered a make-up trip.
“Pa—” The two colleagues who had just been entrenched in their respective areas left the lounge, not knowing what to do. But it is very likely that they will be persuaded to come back by the patrolling military soon, Jiang Hui thought casually.
After the two left, Jiang Hui and Taylor were the only two people left in the lounge, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Looking at the door being slammed shut, the other party raised his eyebrows, a hint of displeasure flashed across his brows: "Don't pay attention to them. They are always like this, as if they don't look down on anyone. You were already making trouble before you came in. , they started quarreling, and people said that the two of them had a bad relationship. I thought they had a good relationship, and there was such a tacit understanding.”
Jiang Hui: … I’m sorry there was actually someone there when I first came in. Quarreling.
However, she did capture some valid information from it. Does this mean that these three people all know each other?
