Hidden Yao Era

Casto saw the message with mixed feelings, and he sent: "Well, encryption slows down when it is transmitted through subspace. It may take about 15 minutes for our news to arrive, right?"

Sonia sent a message: "Alas, yes, it's been so long, to get rid of the shackles of surveillance, this freedom of information comes at a price. "

Sonia then sent another message: "Do you know the news of our imminent evacuation, is there any movement on your side, and have you entered a state of combat readiness?"

"There's no movement, everything is normal here. None of our smart devices have been confiscated, and they are quite loosely managed. Castor sent.

Sonia then sent: "Well, our intelligence is also revealed, and my boss has mysteriously told me that our superiors have made a private agreement with the firefighters, and you will not continue to attack Titan in the near future. "

Casto then sent, "Do you tell me such secret information if you're not worried that I'll tell it?"

"What's there to worry about? I don't think you're going to talk nonsense to people, you're not that kind of person. Sonia sent a message, and Casto felt a wave in her heart when she saw the news.

"You're right, for sure. Castor replied.

"Yes, that's for sure, I'm sure you're such a person. Your character dictates that you won't do such a thing. Sonya's message reaffirms Casto's character.

Casto replied, "Are you really that sure? My stubbornness is just a disguise for some weakness, and I don't seem to have the conviction to really support me to go on. Do you have any suggestions for that?".

Sonia once again emphasized her judgment of Castor: "No, you are very firm, if the worldview of ordinary people is subverted, they will be very painful, very vulnerable, and begin to doubt madly, and even fall into despair." But you don't, you still have normal emotions and a positive mindset, and you're working towards specific goals. As for the belief that supports me to go on, I feel that I have to rely on myself to find it, to find it in knowledge, to find it in history, and finally to return to the universe of my own soul to find it. We are now in an era of information explosion, and our minds are full of all kinds of knowledge, ideas, and prejudices. The ocean of cognition overwhelms us, and we cannot go with the flow. We need to find an island in the ocean of cognition, and stand on it for self-sufficiency and live alone. "

"Lonely? I don't feel lonely with you. Casto sent the message almost subconsciously, but he felt a little too ambiguous after sending it, so he immediately withdrew it.

"Hee-hee, I saw what you just posted!" Sonia replied almost instantly.

"Well, can you tell me why you live in solitude?" Casto deliberately diverted the subject, he still didn't dare to face up to his feelings for Sonya.

Sonia replied: "Because no one can help you solve your deepest doubts, only by determining your place in the world, feeling your true heart, and understanding the most suitable ideas in the ocean of knowledge, can you determine where your own island in the ocean of knowledge is." And these cannot be completely relied on by others, and the voyage to the other side must be achieved by oneself. This road must be lonely, and you need to let go of the noise of others and go down with your conscience. "

"So, people will never understand each other?" asked Casto.

"Perhaps, even people who share the same beliefs, receive the same education, and even live together day and night cannot fully understand each other. Because people have different personalities, different experiences, and different habits, the complex world in people's hearts is a mysterious garden that outsiders can never explore, and even they themselves often get lost in it. Sonia replied.

"Are you going to get lost in there?" asked Castor.

"Yes, but I'm gradually figuring out my heart and understanding the direction of my heart. Sonia replied.

"Well, I've got to figure out my heart too, I don't seem to be being honest with myself. After Castor sent this message, he also wondered what his feelings for Sonia were.

"It requires thinking, communication, and a lot of reading. Sonia replied.

"You just said that this is a lonely road, so why should you communicate with others?" Casto wondered.

"Because your emotions and heart shape can only get a relatively objective appearance in the eyes of others, and other people's reactions are like yourself in a mirror. Their subjective conclusions can't give you a definitive conclusion, but you can get the most truthful information from their externalizing reactions. Of course, it's up to you to make the final judgment. But when judging, we should also see ourselves as spectators, and only in this way can we obtain a relatively true self-judgment. Sonya's esoteric psychological analysis made Casto look at it for a long time, and Casto thought for a long time before he understood the general meaning.

Therefore, in the end, whether you can have an independent and sober mind still depends on your own efforts, so that you can become a person who is objective enough, strong enough, kind enough and rich enough, so that your soul can stand tall in the information torrent of the times and not be washed away. After Castor finished this string of words, he suddenly found himself as if he had been assimilated by Sonya.

"Hahahahahaha, you're right, I knew you could say something like that. You're right, you're going to be a great person!" Sonya's news made Casto feel like he was bathing in sunshine inside.

"Well, you're a great person too, thank you!" Casto replied.

"Thank you, too, not everyone understands what I say, it's good to know you!" Sonia replied.

"That's all for today, I'm going to the officers' meeting and get back to talking!" Sonia interrupted the conversation

After sending a message to say goodbye to Sonia, Casto began to wonder why the flood of information of the times made people sink so much. He realized that although there is a lot of information in modern society, most of it is fragmented, and the systematic knowledge is all in the school. Outside of school, people almost collectively reject systematic knowledge other than work, and take the form of listening to other people's words to obtain satisfaction in entertainment, psychology, and social problems. And this satisfaction is actually false, and they have no practical use other than to make people feel like they know a lot.

Casto and Sonia talk every day. He felt more and more sober about himself, and Yang Dongming also noticed the changes in Casto, and he kept recommending some books to Casto. Casto ostensibly refuses, but goes to Emilia behind the scenes to ask for an electronic version. A few times Casto's book was seen by Yang Dongming, he didn't get angry, but secretly smiled slightly, pretending not to see it.

A week later, Castor's escort boat arrived, and he went to the harbor with his crew to check it out. This week, the crew was already convinced of Casto. Casto's vast knowledge made them fall for themselves. When he first saw the escort boat, Casto was startled. The "Levi IX" escort boat was equipped with too much armor, which made the already bulky appearance even more bloated. "Can this thing fly?" Casto wondered.

"Absolutely flying! This engine is too powerful! It's too dick!" Chen Tieping exclaimed. "Well, isn't this an ordinary ENA-90 engine?" asked Castor.

Chen Tieping said excitedly: "No! This has been modified by the Thunderfire Company! I don't know what model this is! It's amazing, this thrust is 10 times stronger than the original! The mobile device next to it has also been strengthened, look at the wings, they are thick and hard!" Vincent

"Okay!" said happily, "I used to think that Levy 9 was not very flexible. Such a modification should also be able to adapt to atmospheric warfare!".

"The radar device has also been strengthened, and this boat can complete precision strikes on the command system. Robert Cassel said.

Ridley, who has always been calm, exclaimed as he looked at the weapon system: "This ...... The torpedoes are equipped with small hydrogen bombs! There are also a large number of high-explosive armor-piercing fragments! This can penetrate the armor of all super capital ships!"

"What? Then this torpedo should be one less, right?" asked Castor.

"Look over here!" a familiar voice made Casto look back. A strong black man was directing a transport ship to deliver a batch of converted torpedoes.

"Jamie!" Casto recognized at a glance as his childhood friend, Jamie Grant.

"Why are you here!?" asked Casto.

"Hahahahaha, Uncle Cuthbert asked my father and I to modify this escort boat, and I'll send it to you when it's done. It's been a long time, but I just met you!I haven't seen you in two years, brother!Let me hug you!" Jamie opened his thick arms and hugged Casto.

"Haha, I'm so glad to see you!" Casto was overjoyed as he looked at Jamie's black face.

"We've been changing this thing for a few days, using the latest experimental technology and weapon systems from the Thunderfire Company. We've named it the Blazing Light, and it's capable of burning out all warships and making their light disappear from the universe entirely!" Jamie said.

"Great, this boat is amazing! Thank you so much!" Castor said gratefully.

"Huh, don't see each other, we're going to go with whom! I'm going to give you the best! I'm going to give you the best!" said Jamie.

"Hahahahaha, yes, let's go to Space City and find a restaurant to catch up?" Casto suggested.

"No, I still have to go back to the headquarters of the Thunderfire Company, there is still a lot of work to be done, and I haven't been idle since I graduated from Jupiter Mechanical Academy. Hahahahaha, but I'm kind of enjoying dealing with these weapons. The other colleagues called me weirdos! They had no feelings for these machines, they thought I was a fool, hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha, I can feel your feelings! Your feelings for this escort, and your friendship for me! Brother, stay here for a while! I really want to catch up with you!" Casto kept Jamie again.

"Well, it's enough to have your words! Brother, we'll talk again when we have time later, don't pass it this time. Thunderfire is strict with its employees, and we'll see you next time!" said Jamie.

Afterwards, Jamie left the port of Space City on a transport ship.

"This escort boat is amazing!" Chen Tieping kept admiring.

"This is basically the limit of the modification of this boat, its strike resistance is comparable to that of a full-body FG300 armored frigate. Ridley said.

"Well, good, we need to get along with this boat. Everyone, we'll start training tomorrow, and we're looking forward to seeing what you do. Castor said to the crowd.

Over the next month, Casto and the crew trained in synergy. Their performance in the exercises was among the best in the fleet. The fleet stationed at Titan is a mobile force of the Seventh Fleet, which is stationed here as a reserve and trained for war near Saturn.

On this day, Casto opened the Deep Pool software as usual and contacted Sonya. Fifteen minutes after he sent out his greeting, Sonia sent a concerned inquiry: "Are you still stationed in Titan, have you recently entered combat readiness?*¥...#...*(*(......%(*...... ¥¥#" There is also some news behind it, which seems to have become garbled because of the interference of electromagnetic waves.

In the face of Sonya's inquiry, Casto only felt that this was asking for information, so he replied: "There is nothing unusual about us, we are still training daily, and we are not in a state of combat readiness." What's wrong?".

Fifteen minutes later, Sonya's message surprised Castor: "Did you see that!? I said that the fleet of *¥...% Wanderers is going to attack Saturn! You go quickly! They are very big this time! No army is used, it is purely a space fleet." They*¥...#...*(*(......%(*...... ￥￥#"
