Chapter 126
heritage……? Ying Chenlin looked a little stunned. When he was about to reach out to touch it, Shen Xingtang had already handed him the data tablet.
The military data pad reminded him to enter the permission password as soon as he touched it. Ying Chenlin saw this familiar password system, which was exactly the same as the permission password he saw in the C-147 base station.
Shen Xingtang: "What's wrong?"
"No." Ying Chenlin entered the calculated permission password, and a detailed inheritance list popped up. Ying Lingfeng's name was written right at the front of the list. He silently recited the name and felt that the name was somewhat familiar as if he had heard it from his grandfather, but at the same time, he felt that the name was too distant.
Listed on the inheritance list were the assets belonging to Ying Lingfeng, including all the assets he had left in the Border Army Bank, as well as some energy crystal resources that could not be exchanged for the time being.
Hearing Ying Chenlin read out this name, Shen Xingtang paused for a moment and explained, "Ying Lingfeng was once the leader of the special forces of the Dawn Galaxy Border Army. Do you remember the team led by Lieutenant Colonel Lu this time? Major General Ying was once their superior..."
Just as he finished speaking, a prompt sound came from the door of the ward, and Shen Xingtang walked over to open the door.
Ying Chenlin looked over and saw an elderly man when Shen Xingtang opened the door. It was not until the old man spoke that he noticed that the other party's voice sounded familiar. "Old sir?"
Elder Qiu handed the things he brought to Shen Xingtang and walked in with a cane. "Child, are you feeling better?"
"Much better." Ying Chenlin said truthfully: "Thank you for your concern."
Seeing this, Shen Xingtang silently withdrew from the ward, leaving the space to Ying Chenlin and Mr. Qiu. Elder Qiu paid attention to the boy's mental state. After making sure that he was in good condition, he walked to his medical cabin with crutches and asked, "Can you decipher the password on the data board?"
"Yes, my grandfather taught me." Ying Chenlin looked at him.
Mr. Qiu is already very old. When he heard Ying Chenlin say this, he looked a little nostalgic. "He is still like this. He likes to teach others everything he knows. When he was in the research institute, he always liked to teach people. Sometimes I think he is more suitable to teach students than me, but Songshan rarely accepts students."
Ying Chenlin held the data tablet of the legacy and asked, "What's going on?"
"Ying Songshan is your grandfather." Seeing Ying Chenlin's bewildered look, Elder Qiu patiently explained, "The inheritance list says that Ying Lingfeng is your father, Major General Ying of the Special Forces, and your mother is Shi Xuejun, who was the chief researcher of the C-147 base station. Did your grandfather tell you this?"
"Maybe he did, but I have no recollection of it." Ying Chenlin looked at the name on the inheritance list, and the sense of familiarity in the three words was very faint.
The boy in the medical cabin lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the data board, with a bit of confusion, as if he was looking at something through the data board.
"That was all the legacy your father left behind in the border army after his death. It was kept by your father's former comrade-in-arms, now Lieutenant General Lin, the head of the special forces of the First Star Region Army. It should have been returned to your grandfather Ying Songshan that year, but your grandfather left without saying goodbye, and we didn't return it to him in the end." Elder Qiu asked carefully, "Son, do you want to know what happened 20 years ago?"
"Can you tell me?" Ying Chenlin asked.
"You should know."
Old Qiu looked at Ying Chenlin and vaguely saw some of the appearance of Ying Lingfeng when he was young from his profile. However, Ying Chenlin's appearance was not as sharp as Major General Ying. Instead, he looked more like his mother Shi Xuejun, especially his eyes, which were exactly the same as Shi Xuejun's.
20 years ago, after the pollutants in the Koria restricted area mutated, all the researchers in the C-147 base station were trapped. The soldiers of the border army stationed there resisted hard for a long time, but failed to resolve the pollutant fire that escaped from the border contaminated area. Ying Songshan submitted an urgent report to his superiors, and the Shuguang Border Army sent elite special forces, which took two full days to kill the pollutant fire.
At that time, the base station defense system had been damaged by repeated attacks of pollutant fires. No one expected that there would be a wave of pollutant riots after the pollutant fires. The scale of the riots was large and fierce, catching everyone off guard. It even ambushed a team of researchers who were preparing to evacuate, resulting in the death of the first batch of researchers who were evacuating.
Attacked by a large amount of pollutants, the signals inside the base station could not be transmitted to the Koria Administration, and the foundation facilities were washed away by the pollutants, missing the first opportunity to call for help. In the end, it was Major General Ying who fought his way out of the situation, paving the way for the evacuation of the base station personnel and subsequent personnel support, which gave the situation a glimmer of hope.
The riot lasted for three full months, resulting in the loss of a large number of lives. The depletion of the base station's defense system led to the subsequent vibration problem within the base station, causing the residual fluid of discarded contaminated weapons to flow into the weapons storage room. This is also one of the things that Ying Songshan regretted. If he had dealt with the weapons problem immediately when the riots first broke out, this fused weapon would not have held back the border troops for 20 years.
"We know that your grandfather cannot be blamed for that incident. As the head of the base station at that time, his first responsibility was to protect all the researchers. He did not let the researchers take risks to deal with the research results. Instead, he immediately sent the researchers to the special protection room in the base station to wait for follow-up rescue." Mr. Qiu recalled how Ying Songshan stood in front of everyone at that time. "Because of the accident at the base station, when the border army contacted him that year, he resigned because of the blame."
Ying Chenlin asked: "The base station is..."
"The C-147 base station is your grandfather's brainchild. He was the one who designed it in the beginning, and he was also the one who finally realized that the Fusion Group's weapons design shielding system could not be evacuated." Elder Qiu looked at the data board, "This set of permission algorithms is his algorithm. He likes to use it very much and has used it for many years."
Ying Chenlin lowered his head, and saw the three words "Ying Lingfeng" clearly in front of him. He asked, "Didn't my father leave Kolya back then?"
Elder Qiu shook his head, and after careful consideration, he said solemnly: "Your father was an admirable soldier, and he was also on the front line of the riot until the end."
After Mr. Qiu finished speaking, Ying Chenlin rarely spoke again.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a few minutes had passed before Ying Chenlin asked Shi Xuejun, "Did my mother also die in the Kolya restricted area?"
"After all the researchers evacuated the base station, you
My mother, Shi Xuejun, was indirectly infected by pollutants. During the treatment and examination, we found out that she was already five months pregnant. ”
Mr. Qiu recalled the situation at that time. "In order to save your mother and you, the medical staff worked hard for a long time. Your mother was worried that indirect infection would affect you, so she proposed embryo isolation culture during the operation. Her own physical condition was only Class B, and she went through many operations. She even held you when you were born in the culture chamber."
"She died one night a few weeks after you were born. She died of an infection that worsened without warning. It was a sudden genetic disease that caused the collapse of all the body's cells. She was also a pollutant researcher herself. She knew that the situation was irreversible, so she entrusted you to your grandfather Ying Songshan before she passed away."
Elder Qiu continued, "After that, your grandfather completed the design of the shielding system and left the border army with you. There was no news for several years... Songshan probably didn't want to see his relatives sacrifice again, and wanted to see you grow up safely."
The stories of these three people seem to be from two lifetimes to Ying Chenlin. His memory of his grandfather is only the brief time they spent together in his childhood in his previous life. From the time he can remember until his grandfather passed away, he had a short and happy childhood. He had even fewer memories of his parents, the brief images in his grandfather's optical disk, and the old-fashioned photos specially printed out in the old house... To be honest, Ying Chenlin didn't remember anything at all. He only remembered that he had seen it, but he couldn't remember what the image was.
Just like his grandfather's sudden departure, all the memories seemed to be stripped from his brain over time.
So now, during a joint clearing mission, he unexpectedly learned about what happened that year. It seemed that when he was trying to stop the black hole, everything was like a butterfly flapping its wings and went in another direction.
Ying Chenlin's mind was so noisy that he didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Old Qiu adjusted the temperature in the ward for him, and waited until Ying Chenlin fell asleep before taking the data tablet from his hand and placing it on the table next to him.
Shen Xingtang, who was waiting outside the ward, had already walked in. She nodded slightly to Mr. Qiu and said, "I'll take care of him from now on. Don't you still have work to do?"
"Tell me if there is anything." Old Qiu looked at Ying Chenlin who was sleeping soundly, "I will come to see him tomorrow."
After Shen Xingtang sent them away, she saw KID's people who had just returned from their physical examination. Considering that Ying Chenlin had just fallen asleep, she had no choice but to send them away again. After everyone had left, I noticed that You Su had not left yet, but was able to see the furnishings in the room through the special visiting glass outside the ward.
"Has anyone been here?" You Su asked.
Shen Xingtang said, "Mr. Qiu came to see him not long ago and talked to him."
"He can still talk." You Su retracted his gaze, "He looks energetic."
Shen Xingtang had long been accustomed to You Su's tone of voice, "Lieutenant General Lin also came here yesterday."
When You Su heard Lieutenant General Lin, his expression didn't change. "The First General Army is not far from here. It's not surprising that he's here."
"Do you have any deep hatred with him? Why do you dislike him so much?" Shen Xingtang didn't understand You Su's attitude.
You Su: “No.”
Shen Xingtang glanced at him and said, "Do you know what you are now? You look like a weird kid who hasn't gotten over his rebellious phase."
"Rebellious period?" You Su chuckled when he heard this description. His peripheral vision suddenly noticed something and he said casually, "It's not me you should worry about. Some children are more rebellious than me."
Shen Xingtang: “…”
-
The room fell silent, save for the boy's steady breathing.
Ying Chenlin couldn't tell whether it was due to fatigue after the operation or some other reason, some images in his dream seemed to reappear. He felt himself being held by a pair of warm hands, and he seemed to see the heroic figure of a mecha killing pollutants in a raging fire, and his grandfather sitting at the experimental operating table in the old house... mixed memories converged together, the sound of bombing in the underground space and the buzzing sound of electricity, and finally the thumping heartbeat he heard from the other party's chest when he was in You Su's cockpit.
He couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, but when he woke up, the initial feeling of confusion had disappeared.
The temperature in the ward was turned up, and the data tablet in his hand was placed on the table next to him. He didn't know when the old man left.
Ying Chenlin's eyes fell on the data slate. He did not take the data slate, nor did he bother to study the contents of the inheritance. He recalled what Mr. Qiu had said, and gradually pieced together a truth that he had never known before.
This was something he had never known in his previous life. In his childhood imagination, his parents were a loving couple, excellent and strong, who died in an accident at an early age. The truth was heavier than he had imagined. The only thing that remained unchanged was that his parents were upright and kind. Ying Chenlin suddenly wanted to know more about his parents and wanted to hear more about their past from other people.
Ying Chenlin propped himself up and sat up. This time he seemed to have slept for a very long time. Light refracted in from the window, and he vaguely heard the low voices of other people.
He tilted his head to look at the ward door in the distance that was not closed tightly. He looked out through the crack in the door and saw KID and his group standing outside and talking. But just after he sat up for a while, someone outside the door glanced over at him. The man was wearing casual clothes, and the expression on his face remained unchanged as usual. But when the other person's eyes swept over him, Ying Chenlin inexplicably thought of the thumping heartbeat in his dream.
"Look, the person is awake." You Su.
Shen Xingtang paused when he heard this, followed You Su's gaze, and noticed the person sitting up in the ward.
"Why didn't this child call for help after getting up?" She went in hurriedly.
You Su lagged behind her by one step, and from a distance, he saw a rebellious child who looked like he had just woken up, his eyes still darting around, as if he was looking for someone.
Ji Qingfeng shouted: "Who is awake?!"
Lin Yao leaned in to take a closer look: "Is Shen Linren okay?"
The lively sounds came at the moment when Ying Chenlin woke up again. After Shen Xingtang and You Su came in, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao also followed in. Behind them was Lu Xi, who was pushing a wheelchair. Huo Yan was sitting in the wheelchair. He looked at Ying Chenlin who was lying on the hospital bed and greeted him warmly. However, as soon as he raised his hand, his waist injury caused him to gasp.
"Brother Huo, the doctor said you can't raise your hand yet." Lu Xi whispered.
Huo Yan: "I forgot, I forgot. Fortunately, nothing happened."
"With your back injury, it's a good thing this is the No. 1 medical station. If it were any other doctor, you would have to stay in bed for ten days or half a month." Jiang Simiao followed in, "Can't you just lie in bed? Why are you walking around?"
Huo Yan smiled and said, "It's so boring lying on the bed, Chen Lin, why don't you get a chair to sit on, and let's go outside to bask in the sun?"
When Ying Chenlin saw Huo Yan, he was slightly startled, thinking of the protective shield that blocked him in the dangerous moment, "Brother Huo, your injury..."
"Don't worry about it. This is an old injury." Seeing Ying Chenlin's concern, Huo Yan hurriedly lifted up his shirt. There was a medical device on his waist for fixation. In addition, Ying Chenlin also saw the mechanical skin under the device. Although it was only a small area, it could be seen that the other party's side waist was covered with a layer of mechanical skin.
"If it weren't for this injury, I wouldn't have known that Huo Yan had a mechanical patch on his waist." Ji Qingfeng has been following Huo Yan's treatment for the past few days. He learned from a doctor Huo Yan is familiar with that Huo Yan was injured in his early years and came here for treatment. The three-centimeter-wide spine on the left side of his waist is covered with mechanical patches. "I've seen Brother Huo take off his clothes so many times, but I didn't notice anything different about his waist."
"I'm different from Shen Lin. The mechanical part of my waist doesn't need to be checked frequently. I just learned from others to make some artificial skin. It's normal that you can't see it." Huo Yan's tone was a little funny. "They are all minor injuries. This time, I pressed too hard and a nerve inside was severed. That's why there is a problem."
Ying Chenlin listened to the others talking at once and realized that Huo Yan had suffered this back injury before he retired. This time, he suffered two huge shocks in a row, which led to a recurrence of the back injury. "It's my problem."
"What problem can you have? This time everyone is fine." Huo Yan said with a smile: "Don't think too much. I will be in a wheelchair for a few days at most."
"Rather than this, why don't you explain the energy liquid?" Jiang Simiao put a bill in front of KID and the others, "There are 55 tubes of energy liquid in total. I didn't know you took so many energy tubes from the base before we set off. I just checked the mecha yesterday, and you guys have used up all of it!??"
"I didn't take that many. A dozen of them were sent by Qi Sicheng." Ji Qingfeng flipped through the bill and said, "It seems like there are more than 55 tubes, right? When the pollutants were blasted underground, did you and Brother Huo also spread several tubes, Luxi?"
Lu Xi counted with his fingers, "The total should be 81 tubes."
"How did you calculate 81 tubes? I had to break open the empty tubes and look up the monitoring data to count 55 tubes." Jiang Simiao was stunned. For the first time, he suspected that there was something wrong with his arithmetic: "Qi Sicheng gave you more than a dozen tubes. Where did the rest of the energy liquid come from?!"
"We recycled the waste. Didn't Shen Lin modify the energy storage of the base station? We took the empty bottles and filled them with more than ten tubes." Ji Qingfeng said confidently, "Don't worry, the base station collapsed, they won't find out that we stole so much energy. Didn't Jifeng reimburse the rest?"
Shen Xingtang silently took the bill from Ji Qingfeng's hand, and after reading it, he asked, "Have you sent it to Lao Zhang?"
When mentioning Brother Zhang from the Gale Base, Jiang Simiao took out the communication records on the optical computer. There were question marks sent by Brother Zhang all over the screen. "He will come to pick up the people from Jifeng the day after tomorrow, and I'll give him the bill then." Jiang Simiao put away his laptop in silence, "Of course Jifeng Base won't go back on its word, but if you ask someone to reimburse you should at least specify the purpose, right?"
Everyone at KID fell silent. All the energy they had wasted wasted.
If they were to pinpoint a specific use case, they would not be able to remember it for a while.
Shen Xingtang looked at Ying Chenlin, who looked normal. Seeing that his mood didn't seem to be affected at all, his original worry dissipated a little. "Just write down the bills as much as you can remember. It's already very good that Boss Zhang can reimburse us. Didn't you kill a lot of pollutants in the polluted area this time? You took a lot of energy crystal resources. If it doesn't work, you can use the resources to exchange for it..."
"No...Xingtang, it's hard to redeem." Jiang Simiao handed another bill to Shen Xingtang, "This time, the wear and tear of all the mechas has reached more than 60%. Only Luxi and Yousu's mechas are better protected among all the people, with a wear and tear rate of only 62%. The wear and tear rates of others are all over 70%. Most importantly, we have scrapped 3 high-level weapons, and 4 mechas need to be re-selected and rebuilt, including the expensive S-class mecha Yuan."
Shen Xingtang held the bill tightly: "?"
Ying Chenlin paused for a moment when he heard this. As someone who had raised Yuan, he knew that repairing Yuan was the most expensive of all mechas.
Including his personal stash of cash, if he wants to restore Yuan to its original state, he may have to use all the cash in the stash.
"According to the materials needed to repair the mecha, we also need to spend a huge amount of money to introduce a medical mecha." Jiang Simiao said: "If we really want to exchange them, maybe except for the few S-level resources we got, all the other gains will be used to repair the mecha... Compared with the big gains in Qiu Jin at that time, we can say that we lost this time."
He heaved a sigh of relief after he finished speaking, "Luckily the medical expenses were reimbursed by the Border Force."
KID Everyone: “?”
Shen Xingtang looked at all the KID members coldly.
Ji Qingfeng pinched his brows and began to think: "I remember when I was spreading the energy liquid, I was too lazy to go back to the base station to recharge, so I spread two more tubes."
Lin Yao: "More than two, right?"
Lu Xi confessed: "When we were underground, I scattered all the energy liquid in the storage chamber."
…
A group of people were racking their brains to think about it. Ying Chenlin lowered his head. After he finished counting, he explained: "It seems that there are more than 81 tubes. The one-man mecha I used before was not counted."
Jiang Simiao originally thought it was an exaggeration, and was relieved when he heard that KID had taken the energy liquid from the base station. But as he watched these people calculating more and more, he was stunned: "Wait?! You
Were they not going to take all the energy pipes in the base? ! Not a single tube left? ! ”
KID was silent.
Seeing KID and his group of people settling accounts, the key on You Su's neck lit up. Mecha Theo recalled: "You Su, didn't you also use a lot of energy tubes when you blasted the pollutants underground? How much did we use!"
You Su never calculated these, "Forgot."
Just as You Su finished answering Theo, he suddenly noticed the gaze from the side.
He turned his head and noticed Ying Chenlin was looking at him. He remembered that the other party was also by his side when he used the energy liquid.
Ying Chenlin asked him quietly: "How much did you use?"
At that time, the pollutant could not be eliminated, so he tried several more times. How many tubes did he use?
When he met the other person's gaze, You Su was silent for a while, as if he had done a brief calculation: "There are dozens of them."
Jiang Simiao, who heard the result, paused for a moment and said in astonishment: "What!? Where did you get dozens of tubes?"
The author has something to say:
Brother Zhang: You better not understand.
