Chapter 209: A Day in the Life of a 꾫 Ship Soldier

Jenny opened his eyes.

The 꾫 ship sounded an alarm.

There were various types of alarms on the ship, and this was the faintest one, indicating that the ship had spotted the enemy, but they were still quite a distance away.

He slowly got up, washed up, and then left.

As a member of the Ice Tribe, their race had integrated into the Civil Federation 10,000 years ago.

He was grateful that his civilization had encountered the highly inclusive Federation and not the aggressive and powerful Silk Civilization.

Nowadays, the Federation's life forms had long forgotten why the Silk Civilization had invaded them, as it was, after all, a matter of more than 20,000 years ago, which was too distant for any life form in the Federation.

He went to the ship's cafeteria.

Due to the ample space inside the 꾫 ship, the accommodation areas were divided into many sections, and the dining areas were no exception. Each accommodation area had a unified dining area.

He entered a clean and lively dining area, went to a seat, and with a thought, his secondary brain automatically completed the ordering and payment process. Five seconds later, the meal he ordered appeared in front of him.

He picked up the tray and walked to a seat to eat.

There was a button at the seat, and after he pressed it, a metal wall rose around him, and he was covered by holographic technology. The area around his body instantly transformed into a serene forest, with a small stream flowing past just 10 meters away.

"Whoosh~"

The white noise of the flowing water put him in a pleasant mood.

With a thought, the surrounding scene changed according to his ideas, and he could switch between dozens of different scenes. At the same time, he could also generate a screen in front of him to watch videos or access information.

After about twenty minutes, he finished his meal and left.

The leftovers were sucked into a large hole in the table and then underwent a series of complex cleaning processes to be reused.

After that, he went to the consciousness training room.

On the 꾫 ship, fitness areas were not uncommon, as their bodies had been genetically enhanced and didn't require exercise, making it a waste of time.

However, consciousness training was very important.

More than 30,000 years ago, the Federation had perfected the consciousness training system to improve soldiers' reaction speed, judgment, mental toughness, and most importantly, their telekinetic level.

Telekinetic level was extremely important in the Federation's soldier recruitment, even more so than educational background.

Officer assessments also included telekinetic tests, and one had to reach the specified telekinetic level to be promoted to an officer.

The strict system ensured that soldiers spent several hours each day on consciousness training.

In the consciousness training room, Jenny met some of his friends.

"Jenny, you had cherry blossom jelly today, didn't you?"

Jenny was puzzled. "How did you know?"

His friend pointed to the corner of his mouth, and Jenny wiped it, only to find some residue.

He remembered that he had pink jam at the corner of his mouth earlier, and he had still walked down the corridor with his head held high. He suddenly felt very embarrassed.

But this matter was soon forgotten.

"By the way, you all heard the alarm, right? The enemy is 2.7 light-years away. It's far, but it's also close."

"If the enemy has also discovered us, then the war should break out in 10 years."

"To be honest, I really agree with this proactive attack. We should hold our ground within the star system and use the weapons there to effectively block the scattered ships of the Silk Civilization."

"Now that we've abandoned the star system, other star systems will definitely be attacked."

"The might of the Silk Civilization has been demonstrated three times in history. The star system alone cannot withstand those guys."

Several soldiers looked out the window of the 꾫 ship.

Gazing into the deep starry sky.

In fact, it wasn't a real window, just a screen, but it displayed the real starry sky, so it didn't matter if it was real or not, as the naked eye couldn't tell the difference anyway.

"That's right. This time, we'll probably let the star system face the enemy head-on."

"My home is on the border, and I wonder how it's doing now."

Jenny looked at his friends around him, and they all looked gloomy.

He said, "It's not necessarily that pessimistic. When the Silk Civilization realizes that we're going to defeat them one by one, they should also give up some of their original plans."

"But how easy is it to stop the fleet of the Silk Civilization with just the weapons in the star system?"

"Don't forget that stellar-level weapons can destroy the star itself at any time. It's too difficult to block stellar-level weapons."

"The choices of war, the insights of the battlefield, the leaders above us are far superior to us. I believe this decision is the result of their careful consideration."

Chatting.

Inevitable.

This was one of the leisure activities for soldiers on the 꾫 ship.

Most 꾫 ships had sacrificed many entertainment areas to increase their combat power, making life on board rather dull. Most soldiers were only willing to enter the virtual world created by the 꾫 ship's main computer.

In these virtual worlds, they could not only see beautiful scenery but also solve some physiological problems and fulfill their most wonderful fantasies. It was a veritable paradise.

Soldiers on the battlefield were under a lot of mental stress, and they needed this kind of relaxation.

Jenny sat on a chair-like device and entered a virtual world through his consciousness, where he would undergo consciousness training.

Before he could react, a tennis ball hit him, and the score in the upper left corner of his vision became -1.

Although it was called consciousness training, it was more like a game.

This kind of activity could relieve a lot of boredom and keep people excited.

After all, no one wanted to exercise continuously for several hours, and no one wanted to work continuously either. But if you were allowed to play games for several hours without interruption, you would be surprised when the time was up: "How did several hours pass so quickly? You're kidding me, I've only played a few games?"

Dopamine is a great substance for carbon-based life forms. It can keep them excited all the time, and it's an active process, not a passive one like stimulants.

Several hours later, Jenny and the rest of his friends left the consciousness training. Everyone looked like they wanted more.

"It's a pity we can only train for five hours. If we had more time, it would be better."

"The sensitivity of professional consciousness training devices is much higher than the virtual world generated by our secondary brains. You can't even tell it's a virtual world, and it's no different from reality."

"Do you know? I even managed to complete a chemical experiment inside. There was nothing like that originally, so I was able to complete it because the virtual world was too real, and the physics engine was perfect."

Everyone chatted as they walked to the dining area.

Consciousness training for several hours was very energy-consuming, and they needed to replenish their energy.

After eating and drinking their fill, Jenny suddenly felt the urge to use the bathroom.

"The bathroom is probably quite a distance away. Hold it in!"

"Is your internal robot malfunctioning?"

Jenny nodded.

The level of mechanization in the bodies of life forms of this era was higher, and they could perfectly digest the food they ate.

So, in this era, fairies didn't need to poop, and even their other secretions were minimal.

Therefore, there were many bathrooms on the 꾫 ship, and Jenny finally made it to the bathroom after holding it in the whole way. He went inside and had a good bowel movement.

After some more chatting, everyone returned to their own rooms.

The soldiers on the 꾫 ship lived in single rooms, which were only a few square meters, but it was enough.

Jenny lay down on the bed again, connected to the 꾫 ship's main computer, and entered a virtual world. Here, he was floating on a cloud, gazing at the blue sky.

Like everyone else, he enjoyed the quiet, which made him feel very comfortable.

In the process of comfort, he fell asleep again.
