Chapter 13 Graduation and Letters
图拉西斯主力基地T-54射击靶场，6月5日上午8时35分。

About [-] yards away in front of the twelve new recruits from the second platoon and the first squad of the D company lined up in a row is a Kel Morian Ripper squad running. This is obviously their virtual projection and is extremely real.

Starting from Augustus on the far left, the fully armed marines raised their Gauss rifles and began to aim.Since this is the period when new weapons are gradually being installed and the troops are undergoing a comprehensive upgrade, the firearms in their hands include old-fashioned E-7, E-9 rifles and C-14 rifles.

Nevertheless, these firearms all use Gauss technology, which uses electromagnetic induction coils to accelerate magnetic projectiles to supersonic speeds to achieve long-distance accurate shooting.

In addition to the well-known 8mm solid steel nails, Gauss series rifles can also use hollow point bullets, depleted uranium bombs and incendiary bombs of the same caliber.

Unlike the ordinary caliber gunpowder guns of the Earth era, the Gauss rifle can cut an unarmored person in half with just one shot.

Marine recruits can fire 20 to 30 rounds per second, thousands of rounds per minute, and the ammunition is stored in the shoulders of the power armor, so they can quickly replace the supplementary ammunition with the Gauss rifle on the shoulder.

This makes them less concerned about the hit rate when they are in fortresses and bunkers with sufficient ammunition, and when facing most of the Tyrannian Federation's enemies, just one hit is enough to be fatal.

But the bullets of the marines are not unlimited. Only madmen and war madmen can maintain absolute calm on the battlefield.Even after nine to [-] weeks of recruit training, soldiers on the battlefield panicked and fired so early that they ran out of bullets before the real enemy came within firing range.

The capacitor system added by the new C-14 effectively avoids such problems, although its controllable burst mode has made the real tough guys and hunks of the Federal Marine Corps criticize it, claiming that any bomb that cannot be fired within ten seconds The shooting of the clip is all shooting with a slingshot.

A squad's firing ended in half a minute, during which time they fired enough bullets to wipe out a squad of Kel-Morian labor auxiliaries, and the hologram showed the Kel-Morian Rippers all down before the firing stopped.

"Great job, Jim, your progress is amazing." Zander Marx, a Tarsonian descendant, praised.

"I'm really not happy about what you said." Jim Raynor seemed uninterested in this, and his extremely low hit rate was only covered up in group shooting-though his marksmanship was indeed much better.

In fact, in Renault's view, the hit rate is not important at all, and maintaining absolute fire suppression is the most important thing.When the commander gives an order, all they have to do is to shoot desperately in the indicated direction.

"Line up." The commander of D Company said in the company's communication channel.

"This is the end? I haven't played enough yet." The recruits' complaints came from the channel of the first class one after another.

"Call it, call it a day, I'm hungry enough to eat a Shiloh buffalo." Harnack Hank was always the exception, lacking enthusiasm for anything but fighting and playing cards, and thinking only of cooking.

"I have been notified, brothers, we can prepare for the work of the graduation ceremony." Augustus said in the communication channel at the right time: "Next is free time, take a cold shower, 1 p.m. It will start with a rehearsal for the graduation parade."

"Wuhu!" With Harnack's cheers, the group disbanded on the spot.As if it was a signal, the other four squads in the second row disappeared without a trace.Facing a group of recruits who are about to graduate, their platoon leader is helpless.

Renault and Augustus walked side by side towards the dormitory.These days in the boot camp had made them good friends. Augustus didn't have the arrogance common to nobles, but he was undoubtedly a core figure wherever he went.

In the past Raynor had always been suspicious of the aristocracy he knew little about, thinking that the blood of ancient heroes would have little effect on those vampires.It's just that Augustus made him gradually believe that at least not all nobles are the federal moths that his father said.

Augustus has a sense of justice that Renault admires. When he just wanted to leave the small place of Shiloh to see the real world, Augustus gave up his good life to save the people in dire straits. The people of the Commonwealth joined the army.

If it wasn't for this, Renault couldn't imagine why a nobleman would set foot on the battlefield of blood and fire.

Besides idealists and patriots, what kind of people can join the Federal Marine Corps for a noble purpose at this time?
At a young age, Jim Reno joined the army with a sense of justice and a sense of mission to protect and save. He is not yet sophisticated enough to imagine that, except for patriots who volunteer to defend their homeland and those who want to make contributions Young people, as well as Augustus, a stunned young man who enlisted in the army purely because he yearned for war and adventure.

The original Augustus was just a simple war madman and crazy adventurer.

Augustus himself did not reveal his views on politics and war. In this regard, he was quite cautious. The so-called sense of justice was completely made up by Renault himself.Augustus never thought of himself as a noble man, at best upright.

For now, Augustus just wants to survive in the army.Of course, it would be best if you could get a half-job with your own ability.Augustus will fight for his commander and the Tyrann Federation until he retires safely.

Making friends with Lei Nuo is not to catch the so-called protagonist's halo and hug his thighs. In fact, in the end, few people around this guy have a good death.

In a sense, being Renault's good brother is also a very dangerous profession.

But since they are all in the same class, and Augustus himself is his commander, it is very likely that they will fight together in the future.Try to avoid the rift between comrades-in-arms and improve the cohesion of this small group. On the battlefield, this can at least make them live longer.

"Now the base's signal shielding has been lifted, we can send emails to our home." Augustus said while walking, and at this time his attention was placed on the personal terminal in his hand.

"Inter-galaxy information communication needs to be translated by stellar information transfer stations, strengthened and sent again at warp speed to maintain the integrity and timeliness of the information. If you don't add money, under normal circumstances, my parents will be able to do so in a few weeks. See my message." The young Lei Nuo was saying mournfully.

"That's right, time is money." Augustus looked at the letters he had already edited on his personal terminal. There were ten letters in total, and the recipients were Catherine Mengsk and Dorothy Mengsk.

Most of these letters were sent to his sister Dorothy, but they seldom mentioned what Augustus saw and heard in the boot camp, but spent more space talking about the starry sky above the camp and Tula. Sith and Korhal are very different but still very beautiful scenery.

As for the mother, Augustus's wording is much more serious, reporting good news rather than bad news.Because he knew that his father, Angus, would definitely read the letter.

Even though he was not among the recipients, even though he was too busy to spare a minute.

"I heard that there is a holographic projection device across the galaxy in the base, and you may be able to have a direct video call with your family." Renault added: "If you don't care about money."

"Oh, I know." Augustus shrugged: "But I think that the holographic projection signal is very unstable, and the delay is also scary."

Then Augustus sent out all the mail. The mail is an instant messaging service, which means that letters can be delivered on the same day even if they are light-years away.

Renault saw a series of frightening bill figures popping up on the screen of Augustus's personal terminal, and he didn't continue to think about whether this could buy a good farm in Shiloh.
