In Kent's bedroom;
"Bridge to commander, bridge to commander."
"Huh... Huh? Well
Kent was lying in bed with his pajamas on and his mouth open.
On the bulkhead at the head of the bed, there was a square intercom, flashing a red light, and there was a man's cry.
When Kent heard the call, he frowned, scratched his navel with his hand, turned over and went to sleep in a different position.
After all, these days are either raiding Nova's father's manor or calling the police in the early morning. It's strange that Kent is not tired. That's why he sleeps so soundly.
Seeing that Kent didn't speak, the bridge correspondent called again: "this is the bridge, commander. Wake up, Captain case, if you want to see him."
After hearing the voice again, Kent finally found that he was not dreaming any more, but he still closed his eyes and groped for it with his hands at the head of the bed. After finding the speaking button of the intercom, he pressed it and said, "HMM... what... Woo! What's the matter? Can you say it later
"Commander..." the correspondent gave a wry smile. He also knew that the fighters were fortunate and suffering, especially that the commander always "took the lead", but now he really had something important to tell, so he had to say in a straight voice:
"Commander, we have reached the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, and not far ahead is the rovers space station, The captain asked you to come to the bridge to discuss the matter
"Tramp space station... Tramp space station?! It's already here When Kent heard the name of the space station, one of them woke up and fell asleep.
After all, Tanya is in this space station. She can't miss an S-class soldier because she is lazy.
When Kent seemed to wake up, the correspondent also gave a relaxed smile and said, "yes, chief."
"OK, wait for me for a few minutes and go to the bridge right away."
"Yes, chief."
…
Kent quickly got up, changed into a casual suit, went to the washroom to wash his face, and rushed to the bridge.
At this time, the bridge only has the messenger who just talked with Kent, and a pilot, while case is sitting on the main seat with a cup of coffee.
It seems that case asked the other bridge personnel to have a rest first, and case also asked for a cup of coffee because he was on duty for a long time and a little sleepy.
Keith saw Kent enter the bridge, ready to get up to salute, but Kent waved his hand to sit down, then Kent said: "OK, Captain, you don't need to get up every time you see me."
"Ha ha." Keith chuckled and shook his head slightly. "I'm used to staying in the army. When I see an officer with a higher rank than myself, I'm sure I'll get up and salute him."
"Rank? I don't have a military rank. I'm just your commander. " Kent was stunned.
However, hearing the word "rank" mentioned by case, he wanted to implement rank management in the blue mercenary regiment. Otherwise, without unified command and superior and subordinate management, it would be very difficult for the mercenary regiment to implement orders.
At present, the blue mercenary regiment has only more than 30 fighters, and it's not urgent to implement the rank system immediately. However, Keith's remark reminds Kent that it's better to explain these things early.
At this time, case put the coffee aside and said, "chief, we have arrived at the tramp space station, where we can buy what we need."
"Oh? Where is it? " Kent asked suspiciously.
Keith stood up, went to the front window of the bridge, pointed to the bottom left, and said with a smile, "commander, you'd better see for yourself."
Kent also stood beside Keith, but this look made him exclaim: "I'll go... This, is this the space station?"
The screen switches to the space outside the phantom. There are countless small meteorites and planets drifting, while below the phantom, there is an asteroid about 30 kilometers in diameter.
There are numerous fully enclosed buildings on this asteroid. Through its windows, you can still see people shaking.
On the top right of the asteroid, there is a square entrance with green light. Kent also guessed that this is the valve to enter the asteroid, which is large enough for the phantom to enter.
But is this a space station?
In Kent's impression, the space station should not be made up of countless space capsules, orbiting the planet.
But in front of us, it's not like a space station, it's more like a modified planet, which can hold millions of people at the same time.
Looking at Kent's suspicious face, case patiently explained: "chief, this is the tramp space station.At the beginning, because of the rampant piracy of asteroids, a number of shipping companies funded the selection of an asteroid for transformation as a transit station.
However, due to the financial crisis of the last century, most of the shipping companies declared bankruptcy, and the transfer station was unattended, gradually becoming a place of mixed use.
Neither the army nor the government can get involved here. Many illegal transactions, gangs, red light street and so on are popular in this transit station.
Pirates, gangsters, bounty hunters and mercenaries like it very much, so it's called the tramp space station. "
Listening to case's introduction, Kent also has a general understanding of what happened to the tramp space station.
To put it simply, it's like the "underground city" in a game or a movie. It's free, but it has its own rules. Everyone can have it.
Kent looked out of the window. The smaller space shuttles lined up to enter the space station and said in a deep voice, "let's buy some supplies here first. How much cash do we have?"
"Commander, you brought six million in cash, and Nikolay left six million for us to spend." Said case.
"Nikolay left six million?" Kent was surprised.
Keith recalled the situation at that time and continued to say, "yes, you're so generous, commander. You've paid too much for the boat you picked up, but it's worth billions, so I left you six million."
"This guy... Forget it, Captain, don't talk about it." Kent laughs.
"Well, I know." Keith nodded and then said, "with the crew and the fighters, including the commander, you and I, there are 77 people on the phantom.
To buy half a year's supplies, we need about one million. Plus the necessary ammunition, the maintenance group key, the fuel for pelican and warthog, another five million is enough. "
"Well, I'll leave that to the captain." Ken took the lead, then turned to walk outside the bridge and said:
"Captain, give each member 10000 bonus. After the necessary materials are purchased, go to the space station for recreation. Let's have a rest and then leave here."
