NIKKE, when the stars bloom

The highest level of imprisonment in the Ark is first-level imprisonment, so where does the special-level imprisonment come from?

"Lieutenant, I really need a day off. Please approve it."

The captain thought she was speaking in a good manner, unaware that her tone revealed her aggressive attitude.

Likewise, she failed to notice that behind her, several eyes were slowly showing hostility towards her.

This ungrateful woman has maintained her disgusting personality at a very stable level since the first day she entered school.

"I don't have to lie to you."

In front of the table, someone in the sage state lowered his head again, wiping the parts of the gun while doing maintenance, and said calmly:

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the school gate and ask the guard."

Now that it has come to this, Helen can't help but believe that although she is "a little" dull in dealing with interpersonal relationships, her intelligence is not as severely limited as some of Nikki's.

——The lieutenant didn't need to deceive himself with such an easily verifiable reason.

Then, the proud swan lowered its eyes sadly. Then, after a few seconds of silence...

"Lieutenant! I think Aegis... No, that's not right. I think the ground-based special intelligence squadron will definitely explore the ocean in the near future!"

I don't know what went through her mind in that short breath, but a flash of "fighting spirit" ignited in Captain Helen's eyes again, forming a sharp contrast with the commander who looked like a corpse from a distance and a zombie up close.

The young girl continued to talk: "The lieutenant may not know that Commander Walqiulei... um... is a new commander who has recently made military achievements on the ground. The counterattack force she led failed in the mission to investigate the power plant.

Two of the four non-mass-produced Nikkis were seriously injured and one was slightly injured, and an explosion occurred at the power plant.

After a review by the intelligence department afterwards, it was found that Commander Walqiulei had made as many as twelve cumulative misjudgments during the mission. The entire mission process relied entirely on Nikki's outstanding combat performance and on-the-spot execution to ensure that there were no casualties in the counterattack force.

This incident caused quite a bit of controversy within the aristocratic circle, with some people believing that in the future, the second lieutenant should be fully responsible for important tasks involving large amounts of energy and resources.

Instead of entrusting a 'lucky star' who would only 'delegate power' to Nikki, I sent her to the ground to carry out the mission with a try-and-see attitude."

The above words, spoken by the captain with questionable emotional intelligence, are definitely more persuasive and infectious than those spoken by a smooth talker.

Students like Tia, Naga, Trisela, Ningya and others who came after hearing the news, all had expressions of pride, complacency, or even a little disdain for other commanders on their faces after hearing Helen's words at the entrance of the shooting range.

What's the level of those commanders?

Those who survived were all scared by Letcher and hid behind Nikki forever. They took credit for winning and blamed Nikki for losing.

Do you really think that you can be on par with their instructors just by luckily completing a few high-risk missions?

As the students expressed their opinions in their hearts,

Phoenix didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, he had read the "original work". Since Walqiulei became the protagonist of this timeline, she must have the abnormal ability of "temporarily increasing Nikki's combat power" like the original protagonist.

The power plant exploded...

The man stroked the cool handguard of the gun, his thoughts drifting away as he listened to Helen's words.

The time point of the original plot has arrived.

Walqiulei failed to board the support transport plane; Marianne also successfully avoided the fate of being eroded; Secret Material H was destroyed in advance; Ingrid became the queen of the Pure Land; Rabbi was transferred to his own squadron as deputy captain...

It is obvious that the game script has been changed beyond recognition by myself.

But why was the protagonist Walqiulei still assigned by Anderson to the power plant to carry out an investigation mission?

Not only that, even the process and results of the mission are not much different from the original.

Is it because the preconditions of the power plant script were not interfered with by me, so it will continue according to the original script?

and many more……

What are the prerequisites for triggering the power plant plot?

The already haggard look became even uglier the moment Phoenix realized that he could not remember the details of the original work.

It was so ugly that it was enough to make Helen, who was talking so much, shut up quietly.

Chapter 181: Walqiulei and Phoenix

“The lieutenant’s life sentence is just a political tactic. When necessary, Ark will definitely dispatch the lieutenant to the ground to perform difficult missions.

in case……

I think that if one day our squadron needs to go to the sea for combat, all the team members must get used to the combat thinking of the warship.

Theoretically, the Aegis power of the Praise can withstand the long-range fire attacks of twenty Tyrant-class Letchers at the same time. This alone is enough to change everyone's previous land combat ideas against Letchers.

So! In the process of daily training, I hope everyone can add a little naval training program, so as to..."

Talking about the Ark Navy and the Praise, Helen, who had been trying hard to maintain her captain's demeanor, has revealed her true self in private.

Her eyes, as bright as the blue ocean, were shimmering with white light, and her bangs couldn't help but swing because of the slight movement of her body. If the ceremonial sword in her hand had not been a real sharp weapon, the girl would have raised her hands and excitedly made a speech.

However, someone's increasingly solemn expression was like the ancient glaciers in the polar regions, ruthlessly freezing Helen's fantasies.

"second lieutenant……"

Seeing that the man in front of her was not interested in her suggestion at all, the girl's originally excited facial features seemed to be hit by an autumn gale, and were blown to pieces like dead branches and fallen leaves.

No one in this world really cares about the navy...

Even the legendary commander in front of her did not like her suggestion, and judging from his expression, he even looked a little annoyed.

Why……

Helen couldn't understand why everyone was indifferent to the navy when building up maritime military power was obviously part of taking back the land.

Even Deputy Commander Burnim, who cared the most about the HMS Praise, was only worried about the construction of the navy because of the central government's commission and the sky-high maintenance costs.

why? !

Does everyone secretly think that humans have no chance of taking back the ground, and therefore think the navy is a joke???

……

……

why?

Why did the protagonists suddenly go to the power plant to carry out the mission? ? ?

Just as Helen was crying out in frustration, Phoenix was also thinking hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember Anderson's original intention of asking the protagonists to go to the power plant.

He vaguely remembered Anderson saying afterwards that going to the power plant was to obtain enough energy to supply the Ark for two months.

Oh, for energy?

This statement is clearly an insult to the protagonist for not having enough extracurricular knowledge.

The Ark is located several kilometers underground. According to the geothermal gradient table, the average temperature 3 km underground is over degrees, which is enough to boil water.

You have to know that the essence of humans using coal and nuclear fission to generate electricity is actually just boiling water.

Therefore, there is no reason why the underground ark would lack energy.

Even if we take a step back, being able to survive in an environment of over 100 degrees for a long time can also ensure that the temperature of the underground bedrock is maintained at over 20 degrees, so that Master Kansi will not get his brain burned when digging tunnels.

With such a high-tech temperature-regulating device, how could the Ark still lack energy?

Phoenix would rather believe that humans in this world have mastered micro-nuclear fusion than believe the nonsense that the underground Ark would lack energy.

Of course, if I say that the Ark is short of garbage, then I am not lying.

Living several kilometers underground, many raw materials needed by human society are simply unavailable. Citizens can only rely on picking up garbage from the ground and transporting it back underground, and then undergoing a series of complicated procedures for secondary use, so that they can live a life no different from that on the ground.

and so……

The Ark actually has no shortage of energy. Anderson must be fooling the protagonist. So what are the prerequisites for the power plant? ? ?

Unable to figure out what was going on, Phoenix felt as if his heart was being dusted back and forth by a feather duster. It was prickly, itchy and extremely uncomfortable.

After a while...

Suddenly!

It was like getting guidance from an expert or like being hit by an apple. The man who had been stuck on a dead end and almost worn his head out finally got the idea.

Just forget it.

This matter is in the past tense and is related to Anderson, so why don’t I just ask Falin directly?

What's there to worry about???

"By the way, why was Huaer Qiulei sent to the power plant?"

The lieutenant was too lazy to cover up. After all, everyone present except Helen was his own people, and he himself had an official certification of mental illness.

What if Helen reported the scene of the direct conversation with Farin in the void to Burnim?

I am a mental patient!

Are people with mental illness still not allowed to have an attack?

Helen: “?”

Hearing the lieutenant's unexpected question, Captain Helen, who couldn't see the ghost sister, naturally thought that Phoenix was asking her about Walqiulei.

"This... I overheard the news at the banquet on the Praise. I don't know the details, Lieutenant."

Here, the captain was awkwardly explaining the source of the information.

Over there, the head of Ghost Intelligence had reviewed from beginning to end the reasons why Anderson sent Walqiulei to the power plant.

With Faline explaining in detail, Phoenix, whose memory was completely blank, was finally able to sort out his thoughts.

Even though the script was a mess, Anderson still arranged for the protagonist to go to the power plant according to the original plot, and the precondition was very simple.

——The top management suspected that Walqiulei also possessed extremely rare abnormal abilities.

Ever since this girl left MMR High School and started to perform missions on the ground as a commander, within just half a month, she had attracted the attention of the deputy commanders of the headquarters with her 100% mission success rate.

Such a remarkable record really ignited the excitement of all the people.

The Ark's upper level has suffered for a long time!

Now, there is a commander who is suspected to be a match for him. Moreover, he has no opinion of his own, is not good at strategy, is easy to fool, and has almost no political wisdom.

what is this?

This is the future fighting hero of Ark!

Therefore, under the headquarters' hasty arrangements, Ark Hero Commander Walqiulei carried out a difficult virtual combat in the simulation room.

After the combat video was viewed by various bigwigs, including Burnim, they all thought that this little girl was incomparable to a certain crazy lieutenant.

Not to mention the expected equal replacement, even the rough edge of a lower-level replacement cannot be found.

However, this commander, who theoretically would not survive the first mission, was able to complete ground missions many times, and even successfully reported an investigation operation with a high difficulty assessment.

This phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of all senior officials again.

After a heated discussion, the deputy commanders agreed that Commander Walqiulei and Commander Phoenix still had something in common.

——They all have abnormal abilities.

Moreover, the abnormal abilities displayed by Huaer Qiulei are far more advanced than that of the second lieutenant.

She seems to be able to unconsciously enhance the temporary combat capabilities of Nikki and others.

Especially when faced with a situation that is life-threatening, this amplification effect can force Nikki's prosthetic power to exceed its theoretical power limit.

In order to prove whether this view is correct or not.

The top brass immediately slammed the table and ordered the new commander to take Nikki to a power plant that was far from her own strength, to see if she could come back alive from that power plant.

Chapter 182: What is that guy doing now?

"Anderson...Walqiulei...her mental endurance and her overall perspective...are not in line with our expectations.

According to the latest reconnaissance, the number of Letchers in the K region is...migrating to the north..."

At the command center, Burnim came to Anderson's office alone with a cane.

At this moment, he had a few wrinkles between his eyebrows, and his stuttering was much smoother than usual. Not only that, but his shifty temperament also disappeared a bit inadvertently.
