Chapter 42 The Ceres Visitor

Waiting for Wang Pingan next is a series of daily affairs, accepting psychological evaluation, filling out long reports in the logistics department, arguing with the maintenance department...

In addition, as a non-daily matter, he also accepted inquiries from the commissioner of the Aviation Management Committee and explained in detail what happened on the road.

After everything was processed, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon on the space station.

"What are you doing now?" Angeli stretched her waist while asking, this action made Wang Pingan's eyes lock on her for a while.

The girl found out, so she teased: "Haven't you seen enough on the boat?"

"You have to watch Chang Xin often, do you understand Chang Xin often?"

As soon as the words were finished, one of the two non-commissioned officers who happened to pass behind the two whistled.

Angeli glanced at the two non-commissioned officers, and immediately returned to Wang Ping'an: "Is there no fan group of yours here?"

Wang Pingan: "A few girls who are familiar with me here are either flying or taking a vacation on the ground. Among them are the descendants of the first generation of Martian immigrants. In fact, most of the time, I am not so attractive. After all, I am too The Air Force Space Division has a high turnover rate.

"That is to say, in Sun Earth L2, there is a resident Lu Yingying."

Angeli let out a "hey" and said with a smile, "I thought I was going to be a thorn in the eyes of the girls again."

"You're right, you haven't become a thorn in Lu Yingying's side. I think you're almost sisters. You've only known each other for a day."

"That's because there is a common topic of yours." Angeli smiled, hands behind her back, and walked forward lightly, "So what are we going to do next?"

"Of course, go to the dormitory. The detachment has a well-equipped dormitory here, and everyone has a separate room."

"Although it's been a year since you left?"

"Yeah, the main thing is to live here for a long time, and we will have to wait for more than a month to arrange our next voyage. Before that, we will live and train here."

Wang Pingan paused, and laughed at himself: "After each voyage, the crew's skills will regress. I don't know why."

Angeli laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, I don't know why I regressed. Instead, I have a better understanding of ancient culture. It seems that I need to recover here."

"Actually, I personally think that resuming training is easier to cope with than a long voyage... Wait a minute."

As Wang Pingan said, he ran a few steps forward and called out to the bobcat of the passing military police.

"Hey, scourge, I heard that you made the 'old lady' very angry again?" The military police driving the car asked with a playful smile.

"It's okay, I didn't make her angry this time." Wang Pingan changed the subject, "How is the little girl who was sent to the gendarmerie headquarters today?"

"She's fine. We won't embarrass the little girl. She's very good. The women's gendarmerie almost treats her as a daughter. However, her mother is a troublesome character. I heard that there is trouble on the other side of the earth. Let's go The senior colonel who was on duty at the control tower that day may be punished."

Wang Pingan: "Really? Then he has another surprise. I want to write a report and sue, and he must be responsible for rejecting my application to postpone the launch."

"You're here again, I said it's no good for you to fix yourself!"

Wang Pingan shook his head: "But it can reduce the accident rate. An incompetent lieutenant will at most harm himself, and an incompetent colonel will harm many people."

"Yes, you always have positive opinions, and then you can't get promoted."

Angeli walked to Wang Ping'an's side and said softly, "I think it's right for him to do so."

The three gendarmes on the Bobcat looked at An Geli together, obviously suppressed by her appearance.

Suddenly, the gendarme who was talking to Wang Pingan shouted: "Why are you wearing glasses! According to the regulations, you can't wear decorations!"

Angeli had a speechless expression: "It's here again. I'm short-sighted!"

Wang Ping'an: "You might as well put a note on your chest saying that I am nearsighted and that my glasses are not plain glasses."

"Silver hair, natural person... Oh, this is the new partner that the computer matched for you, right? Awesome! Why didn't the computer match me with one?"

Wang Pingan: "If you go to the matchmaking center, I will definitely match you. My dad has matched a lover, and they have been living in peace until now. It is reliable."

"Come on..." The gendarme was about to speak when his eyes suddenly fell on a battery car parked in front of the office building.

Wang Pingan also followed his gaze: "What's the matter, is there anything special about that car?"

"That's the instructor of Ceres Fortress. I heard that there's a major incident over there, and there may be more troops. He's here to pick people up." The military police whispered, "It hasn't been announced yet, so I'll tell you quietly. You can hide as far as you can." How far!"

Ceres, a large asteroid in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is rich in minerals.

The Production Management Committee established a mining area on Ceres decades ago, and it has now grown into a huge mining and smelting center.In order to protect the mining area from the threat of pirates active in the asteroid belt, the Space Force stationed a capable and powerful fleet here.

Wang Ping'an narrowed his eyes and looked at the people on the battery car: "Is the news true?"

"Indeed, when have I been fooled by you?"

Wang Ping'an pursed his lips and glanced at Angeli: "Didn't you just say in front of the 'old lady' that I should be used wisely?"

Angeli: "You..."

Without waiting for her answer, Wang Pingan turned around and ran towards the battery car.

As soon as the people on the battery car opened the door, they were stopped by Wang Pingan.

He saluted and said loudly, "Excuse me, are you the instructor of the Ceres base?"

The colonel with a serious expression nodded back and said, "I am. What's the matter?"

"I heard that more troops will be sent to Ceres. Is it to fight pirates?"

The colonel replied coldly: "No comment."

"If you are fighting pirates, please consider me. I am Lieutenant Wang Ping'an of the No.13 Transport Detachment. All my practical skills are first-class, and I have won a silver star!"

At this time, Angeli also ran over and saluted the colonel: "I am Second Lieutenant Angele de Leon in the same unit, Lieutenant Wang's partner, and I am also a general A-level! And I cooperate very well with the lieutenant!"

The colonel looked back and forth at the silver stars on their chests, and snorted: "Ceres is very dangerous, ten thousand times more dangerous than your transportation mission. Pirates are hiding in the vast planetary belt composed of 50 asteroids. A ship has enough deltas to fully cruise the entire asteroid belt, are you crazy for wanting to come to such a place?"

Angeli: "We're not crazy..."

Wang Pingan overwhelmed her voice: "Serve the people!"

The corner of the colonel's mouth twitched slightly, and then he continued to say in a cold tone: "I don't know where you got the news. But this is wrong, there is no need to increase troops. I also have no right to randomly recruit people.

"As an officer of the Space Force, you shouldn't be picky about your mission. Where the Space Force needs it, it's like where to put a brick. That's right! You can't pick and choose tasks! Your approach is wrong!"

The colonel paused, and added: "But the spirit of wanting to go to a dangerous place is commendable. I don't care about it."

After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the office building without looking back.

Wang Pingan shouted to the colonel's back: "I want to go to a turbulent place!"

The colonel looked back, did not answer, and just walked away.

Angeli patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder: "Forget it, let's think about how to get a way to participate in the Centaur project in the transportation detachment. Also, don't you still have a bunch of reports to write, Commander?"

"Don't be happy, you have to write too."

"I finished writing before I got to Mars." Angeli smiled, sticking out her tongue proudly.
