"Welcome to watch the noon news in Region 3. Today is Thursday, January 8, 2157. Most of Region 3 has excellent visibility. The inner side of Saturn's orbit and the junction of the asteroid belt are partially affected by solar storm No. 16, and communication facilities may be affected for a short time. Impact, please be aware of the citizens working in this area..."

The virtual screen flickered due to signal interference and got stuck on the sweet smile of the female anchor.

"Tsk, the solar storm is coming! If it wasn't for the funds, this set of communication equipment..." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. Lazy waist shouted, "Si Fei?"

Not long after he spoke, someone knocked on the door politely.

A girl with black hair and shoulder-length hair appeared. She came to the door lightly and smiled: "Director, are you looking for me?"

"Go and inform everyone that today the asteroid has a solar storm, don't be greedy to run too far, and return to the base as soon as possible."

Si Fei nodded: "No problem, Director Liu."

"The day after tomorrow is the day of the founding of the empire. The above may come to inspect and give condolences and remind the gangsters of the mining team to pay attention." Director Liu scratched his head as he said, looked around the old office full of mineral distribution models, and smiled at Si Fei. Laughing, "It’s up to you to take care of this broken office."

Si Fei smiled, his delicate eyebrows and his tone of voice were as quiet and soft as his tone: "Where are you from? This is my duty. I also want to thank you for not caring about me as a third-class citizen..."

Director Liu waved her hands again and again to signal her to stop: "It's been two years now, you're welcome." He paused, beckoning Si Fei to come closer.

The black-haired girl stepped over the pile of old instruments like a hill without changing her face, waiting for her boss to speak.

Director Liu pondered for a moment, and subconsciously touched the name tag on his chest. The silver metal surface is covered with scratches, but the signs and writing on it are still clear: Director of the 4th Mining Sub-bureau of District 3.

The huge area between Saturn and Uranus is the third area of ​​the Fourth Empire, which is an important raw material production area for the imperial industry. However, the fourth mining sub-bureau is responsible for the small production of regional mines, low efficiency, and unable to afford the expensive space city. The headquarters is located on the old nuclear-powered spacecraft Tianlu. At best, it is a small gear in the giant machinery of the Empire Interstellar Industry.

"Si Fei, this year is the 25th anniversary of the empire. There is a special passage for third-class citizens. You can go to District 2 to study and re-select career reads; the rebirth of the black wife is too tempting." Director Liu gave ten fingers. Looking at Si Fei sincerely, "I want to give you this opportunity."

Si Fei did not conceal his surprise, and opened his eyes wide and muttered, "Go to Zone 2... for further study?"

"Yes, if you only give third-class citizens a chance, you don't want to refuse." Director Liu sighed with complicated expression, and then explained after a short pause, "I have a niece just like you, who has a genetic defect. I entered at the age of 15. Renovation of facilities until now..."

Both of them were silent for a moment.

This year is the 25th year of the imperial calendar and the 19th year of the Human Genetic Screening Project.

Citizens of the Fourth Reich are divided into three ranks according to their genetic quality. First-class and second-class citizens enjoy the same personal rights, only the occupational distribution differs. Citizens with obvious physical defects, mental disorders, and dominant genetic disease-causing genes are classified as third class. In the first phase of the plan, they must enter the reconstruction facility and may even be euthanized.

Si Fei is a third-class citizen.

She was lucky. After spending two years in the renovation facility, the plan entered the second stage: As long as there are no obvious physical defects, third-class citizens can return to society as labor.

Working at a mining company was her first stable job, which lasted two years.

"Thank you." Si Fei didn't say much, but bowed deeply.

There are not many imperial people like Director Liu who do not report prejudice to third-class citizens.

"Then it's settled." Director Liu nodded and stood up on the desk, his movements suddenly stopped.

The projection screen that had been stuck for a long time finally came alive: "The following is a breaking news. The civilian spacecraft Aquarius was kidnapped on the outskirts of Area 3. The identity of the crew and the gangsters on the ship is still unclear. The Hayabusa team is on standby at any time for support, please don't panic, citizens, this station will continue to follow up and report..."

"A terrorist again? I remember there was also a kidnapping case last week." Director Liu frowned.

Si Feiwen replied: "The front line was at a battle with the Oorts, and they took advantage of the loopholes."

"It's all human beings who are splitting up, aliens are about to fight over!" Director Liu rarely showed his emotions and shook his head and walked out the door, "Si Fei, you can clean up here first."

Si Fei replied and waited for the door to be closed before turning around and looking around. The desk near the porthole is facing the wall, and there is only an electronic portrait hanging on it: a middle-aged heroic man in a dark blue military uniform stands with his head high, his features are tough, his hair is white, and his eyes are deep. He only wore one of the most common medals for participating in the war on his chest, and the expression on his face was confident and humble.

This is Tan Lang, the founding leader of the Fourth Reich.

Si Fei stared at the portrait of this big man and squinted his eyes, converging his obedient expression for the first time, his eyes extremely cold. She cast her eyes down and instantly returned to a gentle expression. She casually took out the cleaning cloth on her waist and carefully wiped the glass drawing board on which the portrait was dusted.

Si Fei stopped as the cloth swept across the neckline of the uniform. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to strangle the leader's neck with a cleaning cloth. She obviously enjoyed such delusions, and there was no smile on her lips.

At this moment, the alarm bell suddenly became louder!

Si Fei quickly turned around and looked at the monitor display skillfully. The time for the mining team to return was not yet reached, but a small aircraft quickly approached the spacecraft.

Is it a terrorist?

Without hesitation, Si Fei quickly left the office and ran all the way to the shutdown warehouse on the ground floor of the spacecraft.

The security team staying behind the spacecraft was standing by with batons. Director Liu was back and forth with his hands behind his back. When Si Fei came over, he couldn't help hissing, "Why are you here?"

Si Fei smiled: "I wonder if you will be okay, is this?"

"There is a spaceship temporarily docked. It is a temporary arrangement from above; both big and small are crazy." Director Liu vaguely waved his hand to drive Si Fei, "You go back to the cabin."

Si Fei frowned and didn't move.

Director Liu's face was rare and darkened: "Si Fei!"

At this moment, the red warning light flickered, the door to the shutdown tunnel slowly opened, and the sound of leather boots knocked from far to near.

A group of people showed up in strides. The dark blue army coat, the shiny black leather boots, the lowered brim of the army hat, the shiny epaulettes and collar buttons, everyone at the scene looked at each other and saw awe in each other's eyes:

It's the emperor*.

Director Liu hurriedly greeted him: "A few okay, I have heard about it..."

The leading officer raised his hand to silence Director Liu, looked around slowly, and said coldly: "Although the conditions are a bit worse, but the situation is forced, you," he lifted his chin to Director Liu, "From now on the spacecraft will be controlled by my subordinates. Take the helm, and immediately accelerate the distance. I also need a communications officer, preferably..."

The officer's order was suddenly interrupted.

For example, the sound of light footsteps is sure to sound, and the military coats parted from it, making way for the visitors.

"Oh, this is the refuge you found." The tone of the tail sound was slightly raised, and a young man in a slim suit stepped out unhurriedly. The young man has beautiful eyebrows and a spoiled dignity. He admired the officer's silent embarrassment for a moment with a smile but not a smile, and then casually straightened the collar of the purple shirt, and casually ordered: "It's all gone."

"But..." the officer retorted unwillingly.

The young man rubbed the curly black hair at the end and rolled his eyes relentlessly: "If you want to really catch it, what can you do with this broken nuclear-powered ship?" He paused, patrolling the surroundings, and fixed his eyes on Si Fei. Suddenly she smiled on her body: "I would rather do something more meaningful than Bai worry, such as... ask the girl over there for her name."

The officer breathed patiently: "Second Lieutenant, please cooperate with our work."

Si Fei was named but not embarrassed, only raised his eyebrows: the second lieutenant was the lowest non-commissioned officer in the emperor, and the officer headed over there should be a captain, two ranks higher than the young man in a suit, but his posture was so low. …

This young man has a lot of background.

"Please come with me, I have been ordered to prepare a shelter." Director Liu tried to ease the atmosphere.

The young man in a suit raised his head and glanced at the hangar display, then smiled and shook his head: "No need, they are already here."

Everyone then looked at the display. At almost the same moment, the alarm sounded loudly again. This time, the four red dots approached quickly and formed a battle formation. Obviously, the visitors were not good. Dare to pursue people in the army, these militants can be described as fearless.

The other emperors who had not spoken quickly gathered around and protected the young man in suit in the middle.

"Is there a battle formation on board?" the leader captain asked sharply.

Director Liu was choked by the other party's questioning: "We are ordinary mining spacecraft, only mobile armor for mining."

"But there are also weapons on the mining machine." The captain immediately made a decision and turned his head and ordered, "You two will use Aquarius to meet the enemy first."

"But..." Director Liu showed disapproval, and was swept away by the officer's eyes, suddenly there was nothing to say.

The ordered soldier knocked on his heels, gave a military salute, and walked away quickly without a word.

Soon, the spacecraft carrying these emperors appeared outside the porthole. Obviously, this spacecraft was hit and hit hard all the way when it first came, but now it is again unable to maintain a stable course, and it almost bounces toward several white spots that are getting closer and closer.

The young man in a suit pushed aside his guard and rushed to the porthole, watching the spaceship hit the enemy, the glare was fleeting, the pale flames in the cabin extinguished, and the wreckage was carried away by the impact, and soon mixed into endless black.

The suicide attack wiped out the two aircraft, and the remaining two stopped for a while before attacking again.

What came were two new nuclear-powered mobile armors, the launched laser shells hit the spacecraft's protective shell, and there was another deafening alarm in the hangar. After the alarm bell, there was a dead silence, and everyone hugged their heads and squatted down or huddled against the wall, and they did not dare to come out.

The young man in a suit turned his head and looked at the captain coldly curling his lips: "You are really not merciful. That's your subordinate."

"This is to protect you, Second Lieutenant Su." The captain's tone also hardened, and he stiffly raised his hand and glanced at the mobile terminal, "Just stay for another seven minutes and the Flying Falcon team will be here."

The young man surnamed Su mocked: "Unfortunately we don't have seven minutes left. I guess... there are still five and a half minutes before the enemy arrives."

The captain was silent for a moment, then turned his head and ordered the rest of his subordinates: "Go and drive the mining mecha, stop them at all costs."

The lip line of the young man in a suit was tight, and he stared at each other for a moment. Finally, he smiled happily and turned around lazily: "I see, who makes my life so valuable."

The captain stopped responding to him, but motioned with a gloomy expression to the subordinate random library personnel to board the plane.

Si Fei carefully looked at the young people who obeyed orders unconditionally from a distance. They knew they were bound to die, but they didn't hesitate. She couldn't help but squinted her eyes, then looked up at the surveillance screen thoughtfully.

The three red mining mechas quickly separated from the launch pod, drifting towards the white enemy.

This time the battle lasted longer than before.

With only the low-efficiency laser gun of the mining mecha, the three soldiers entangled with the enemy for nearly three minutes!

What an excellent driving technique and determination! Even the people of the mining company couldn't help temporarily forgetting their fears and respected these soldiers.

Director Liu stood behind the captain and rubbed his nose uncomfortably, his eyes faintly red. Si Fei stood against the wall with his arms folded, and was not affected by the sentimental and sad atmosphere, but carefully examined the back of the young man in a suit.

I don’t hesitate to catch a first-class soldier to protect, the surname is Su, is it...

After all, the three red armors were quickly destroyed. Since they were using mining machines, the last moments of the three men’s ** and words were intermittently conveyed:

"--Long live the empire!"

The brave warriors shouted so, heading towards the end.

Communication was interrupted, and only white noise echoed in the hangar.

Although the enemy mecha was not shot down, the action of one of them slowed down.

The young man surnamed Su stood silently by the window, making a gesture of taking off his hat and saluting, his attitude was rare and solemn. He turned his head and glanced at the surveillance screen, and raised his eyebrows at the lonely captain: "What are you going to do now?"

There are three minutes and fifty-five seconds before the support arrives. Even if the enemy slows down, it only takes three minutes to enter the range sufficient to sink the spacecraft.

How should we fight for these fifty-five seconds? How can you fight? !

The captain gritted his teeth, before giving an answer, suddenly someone said clearly:

"I go."

Everyone was stunned to hear the prestige, and the speaker was Si Fei.
