Chapter 1053 The Lost One

…

"My name is Taren."

"Taren... Captain of the No. 21232 transport ship of the No. 2412 military material transport team of the Taren Navy."

"Twenty years ago, I received a mission to experiment with the latest emergency escape device, which is a device used to instantly jump out of the battlefield to avoid ship damage when in an extremely disadvantageous situation in a void battle. After my transport ship used this device, the entire ship jumped to a space where we didn't know where it was."

"We were attacked by unknown creatures, and all of us used escape pods to escape."

Captain Taren, sitting in front of the recorder, dug hard into his brain to find out everything in the past. He forced himself to remember every detail, not all for recording something, but to fight against something.

Taren could feel that there was something around him, and he was fighting against it at the level of will.

In his past experiences, Taren concluded that the method he came up with was to use thinking to force himself to be rational, and to force himself to recall who he was and what he had experienced, in order to avoid the loss of memory and reason.

And everything in the four sentences was all he could recall now.

"I...we...transport ship..."

When Taren tried to recall more, he couldn't say a word, and finally he could only reach out and turn off the recorder.

Taren was in an escape pod, which had only one room inside, about 15 square meters, and the rest of the space outside the room was filled with all kinds of supplies, with no place to even step.

Taren, who had lived in this narrow little room for 20 years, had learned how to adapt to this place and solve everything in his life.

As always, after recording what he said, he picked up the recorder, got up and walked to the exit of the escape pod, opened the gate without wearing any protective equipment, and walked out.

The escape pod was flying rapidly in the universe.

The fuel for the superluminal engine had long been used up, but the escape pod was still not drifting slowly, because the device around the pod that could be used to collect solar energy and accumulate energy was still operating normally.

What kind of star can allow the inefficient solar energy absorption device to supply the superluminal engine with energy that allows it to continue to fly at superluminal speed?

The memory of this incident has been lost, but every time Talen opens the gate in a daze, he knows why.

It is probably still the real universe outside, because the auspicious instrument imported from Ultramar shows that this is not the subspace.

But this real universe does not look so real.

The entire space is centered on the escape pod.

Countless stars are closely arranged in a circle around the escape pod, and the planets are also closely arranged in a circle around the escape pod, just like this, repeating and extending to the endless journey ahead, a circle of stars and a circle of planets, looking like a kaleidoscope.

The light energy released by many stars allows the superluminal engine to be able to fly continuously at superluminal speeds with only the solar energy absorption device.

However, the continuous flight of the escape pod in this "kaleidoscope" for twenty years is impossible to fly to the end. When he was young, Talen still had the hope that one day the escape pod would be able to fly out of here, but now he doesn't think so.

Standing in the void, Talen looked at the recorder in his hand, and then threw the recorder hard into the distance.

This is a way to survive. Throw the recorder out. The salvage ship will search for the signal of the recorder and then follow the signal to salvage the escape pod. However, Taren, who has been doing this for 20 years, just mechanically repeats throwing the recorder. He knows that there is no ship to salvage it, but he still does it.

After repeating the behavior that has been repeated countless times, Taren turned back to the escape pod and closed the gate.

After taking out a tube of toothpaste-like substance from the warehouse, Taren sat in the corner of the small room, put the outlet of the toothpaste tube into his mouth and sucked hard. A kind of food that tasted like chewing wax slid down his esophagus into his stomach, and a feeling of fullness appeared immediately.

Eating is like a recorder, which is also a repetitive thing that must be done every day.

After eating, Taren got up and walked to the other corner of the room, rolled up the fluid food container that looked like a toothpaste tube, and woven the food container into a hanger made of the same food container like weaving a basket made of plants in his hometown agricultural world.

Then he took the Tyrone Navy uniform off the hanger and put it on, walked to the corner where he ate, looked at the Tyrone logo engraved on the wall by a sharp weapon, and the Naval Academy poster above the logo.

On the poster, the flagship of the Tyrone Navy and the First Fleet with outstanding military achievements are located below, and the image of the Lord of Tyrone is located above the fleet. He raised his chain saw sword and pointed it forward, as if pointing out the enemy to the fleet, and the direction of the fleet below is the direction of the sword.

"For the Lord of Tyrone, for Tyrone." Taren said, and he began to repeat this sentence.

Until a voice sounded behind Taren.

"That's just a poster in the dormitory of the Naval Academy. You have never seen the Lord of Tyrone, but you keep saying it's for him. All of us are like this."

Taren turned around angrily and saw the crew members who hid in the escape pod like him.

"I'm different from you." Taren didn't want to say bad things to the old guys who had been trapped here with him for 20 years, "I really saw the Lord of Tyrone."

"It was when I first entered the Talon Naval Academy. One late night, I went for a walk in the park because I failed the assessment."

"I suddenly saw him who was giving a speech in the hall during the day. He asked me: Why are you in the park so late? Can't you sleep? I nodded, so we sat down. He asked me where I was from, what my hometown was like, and why I wanted to join the navy."

"I answered him... I... I said, I said that my hometown used to be a world full of hunger and poverty, and then everything was different from the moment the Talon Navy's fleet appeared in the galaxy. The governor of my hometown believed that the people here should do something to repay the favor of Lord Talon, so he selected a thousand smartest children as gifts. I was one of them."

"If you have to find a reason, for Lord Talon, this is the reason."

Taren was surprised to find that he clearly remembered everything about that encounter.

"Lord Tyrone asked about my grades again, and I told him in detail. Then he checked my file and said that my grades were not very good, but my willpower in the psychological test was very high. This feature will be an important assessment feature that will affect my final assessment results when I graduate. I have the possibility of becoming a member of the Tyrone Navy."

"Then I served on the Autumn Wind, and was promoted to a weapons officer. After being injured, I was transferred to the transport supply fleet to lead you..."
