Volume 20 Chapter 17 Cunning Translation
Under the leadership of this officer, we soon arrived in front of the six-story office building in the center of the gathering place when we first arrived at the gathering place. This six-story office building is the tallest building in the entire gathering place. Its shape is very special. From the outside, it looks like a Mercedes-Benz car logo placed on the ground. In addition to the cylindrical structure in the center, the main part of the building is divided into three long strips and extends out in three directions.
The original cylindrical structure located in the center is actually mainly public facilities, such as restaurants, small clinics, and other service facilities. Moreover, it is also the transportation hub of the entire building, and the passages and elevators of the entire building basically intersect here.
The three rectangular areas extending from this cylindrical structure belong to three companies in three countries, each occupying a partition, which not only ensures that everyone is independent, but also can quickly contact each other when needed.
According to the information I read on the plane, under normal circumstances, this place should be managed in segments. Companies from different countries should not visit randomly before, only the central public areas are shared. However, because the current situation is special, all civil affairs rules have to give way to the military and political rules for the time being. Therefore, the British official took me directly to this place that should be the area where the Chinese company belongs without any obstacles.
Although the rules that people from various countries are not allowed to visit each other are abolished because they are fighting, this is the original work area of Chinese companies after all, so as soon as we entered here, we met several Chinese people.
The officer next to those Chinese people, who were suspicious or surprised, took me directly to the office area on the third floor. However, what surprised me was that as soon as we walked to the entrance of the corridor, we found that two Chinese soldiers were standing outside a door in the middle of the corridor, guarding there. There were no Chinese troops in this place. Although our country also sent peacekeeping troops here, it was not stationed here. Now the Chinese people who could see here should only have the special forces that arrived in advance. But what surprised me was that they had only twenty-one people in total, and their troops were already stretched out, and they even pulled out two people to stand guard here. What is so important in this room?
Just when I was suspicious, the Chinese soldiers in front had already seen us, and until we walked nearby, the two soldiers turned to salute us, and then one of them asked, "Major Yossauer, is there anything?" Although the other party saluted the officer first, I could feel that the two soldiers did not take the major who brought me over seriously. If the officer had no suitable reason to force the room, I doubt that the two men would shoot him without hesitation.
The officer who brought us here probably knew that he and the other party were not from the same country's army after all. Even if he was nominally rank, he actually had to depend on his own intentions whether he was obeying the command. The officer who did not want to cause trouble directly gave in to the side, then gave me to the front and introduced: "This is one of the chief officers of the reinforcement unit that just arrived. He said he wanted to find an interpreter who understood the local dialect, so I brought him here. You are all Chinese troops, so you should coordinate yourself. I have something to do, so I left first."
After saying goodbye to the officer, he turned around and left the two soldiers opposite him and looked at me and saluted first, then said, "Sorry, sir, please ask about your number and rank."
"We are the security forces under Longyuan Group, and my rank is brigade general."
When they heard it was from Longyuan Security Force, the two soldiers immediately stood at attention and said with a standard military salute, and then they said: "Report to Brigadier General, we are the 14th Operation Team of the 6th Division of the 2nd Combat Group of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
Although we are not regular soldiers, the Longyuan security forces cannot be simply understood as security guards. Of course, from the perspective of legal and external publicity, we are the security guards hired by Longyuan Group, which is no different from those in large companies or high-end residential communities. However, that is only the situation of external publicity and legality. In fact, Longyuan's security forces are divided into several departments. Among them, the real security department is the real security guard. Even if the weapons are usually carried, they are at most electric batons or some non-lethal weapons. However, in addition to these regular security guards, we also have special security guards.
An, people who know the inside story and the army generally call us Longyuan Security Force. The real purpose of our team is to come forward to solve some things that cannot be accomplished through formal channels, such as a foreign laboratory invented a technology that we really want, and then we paid for it but refused to sell it. Then we will send security forces to talk to them in-depth. Usually, the other party will transfer the technical achievements to us for free, and then they will disappear inexplicably. Of course, we are not such an unethical thing as the general manager. Most of the time, our work is to defend Longyuan's reasonable interests.
In addition to the work of defending Longyuan's interests, our security forces have another job to experiment with the new equipment of Longyuan Group. Although Longyuan Group seems to be a comprehensive enterprise group, its main profit projects come from military industry and medicine. Therefore, Longyuan's various new weapons will definitely be much more than the national regular army, and the update speed will be much faster. All kinds of undefined experimental equipment will be given priority to the Longyuan security forces. After we finish the experiment and put forward improvement suggestions and finally confirm that there is no problem, we will consider simplifying the process and reducing costs and selling them to the national regular army or other countries' armed personnel. Of course, because of the simplifying process and reducing costs, the subsequent models will definitely not be as good as the experimental ones. Perhaps there will be some changes in small details to make it more coordinated, but the hard xing indicators will definitely be inferior to our experimental equipment.
It is precisely because the Longyuan Security Force often experiments with various new weapons that in the eyes of the regular army, we are simply a group of equipment experts. Not to mention conventional troops, even in the special forces that are famous for their advanced equipment, their equipment is one or two years lower than our security forces. After all, the process of the equipment of ordinary countries from planned research and development to actual equipment of the troops will take about five to ten years, and some are even more than just. Even if the equipment of the special forces is not tested for two or three years, it will never reach the hands of soldiers. In contrast, our security guards often run around with various theoretically verified weapons. Although some of them may have various problems, these weapons have two major characteristics in most cases, namely outrageous expensive and strong perverts.
When I think of the things that the veterans in the team talk about when we talk about our security forces, little stars flashed in their eyes when they saw us. Special forces are also human beings, and special forces also have a hobby of chasing stars, but they may not be chasing big stars who sing and dance.
"Soldier, I just want to find an interpreter. Is he here?"
"Sorry, I don't know who knows the dialect here, but you can ask."
I nodded and turned around and signaled that Sgoth and the others were waiting outside. After all, the room was probably not much larger. If more than 20 of us rushed in together, it would be a problem to even turn around. In the end, I only took Ling, Xiaochun, Yeyue and the others to the door, and then I knocked on the door two first.
"Who?" A middle-aged woman full of impatient emotions came out from the inside. Before I could speak, I saw the office door being pulled open from the inside. However, it was obviously not the one who spoke, but a young man who was twenty-six or seven years old and very thin. He looked like a civilian, because he was wearing a neat suit and a white shirt, but in terms of temperament, he was just a white-collar worker at most.
Sure enough, the young man opened the door before he could speak, and heard the female voice saying in it: "I said, Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you? You open the door without asking who you are? What if you have a ill-hearted person? This is not in China, why are you not alert at all?"
The young man who was scolded was not very good at responding, but I think it was mainly because he was shocked by our looks. When the man scolded him, he was still shocked by our dressing, but after being scolded, he woke up. However, he did not follow the other party's intentions, but instead pulled the door and stood aside and gave up the road.
Nodding at him, I walked straight into the room and pulled the helmet off my head and clamped it under my armpit.
The door is not the single office I imagined, but a meeting room. The room is about forty or fifty square meters, and there is nothing except a long table in the center and a circle of chairs outside, so it looks spacious.
At this time, there were four people in the room besides the young man who opened the door. One of them was a man in his thirties, sitting next to the table not far from the door. On the table in front of him was a very large camera, and at this time he was holding two gadgets and wondering whether he was performing daily maintenance or repairing the camera.
There were three women gathered at the other end of the long table, which was far from the door. One of them was a pretty girl with a pretty face. She looked at her nod at most twenty, wearing a simple casual outfit and a denim ku, holding a bunch of makeup tools in her hand and was dressing the woman in front of her with her back facing us.
Although the person who is facing us cannot see his face, you can confirm from the back that unless she is a back killer, she must be a big beauty. Her upper body is wearing a women's suit, she looks quite capable, but the bottom is blocked by the table and cannot see it. However, I think it should be the matching tight tun suit. Although she cannot see her front, judging from her outfit and the visible part, this person should be very young, probably similar to that little girl, maybe a little bigger, but it is also very limited.
In addition to these two young women, there was a woman standing on the table. At first glance, this woman was about thirty years old and had makeup on her face. Although she was not a temperamental beauty, it was absolutely fine to say that she was still charming. However, if you look closely, you will find that although this woman only looks thirty-five or six at first glance, her actual age is probably already up to 45 or six.
Unlike the two next to him, this one is wearing a short skirt. The front part looks like an ordinary skirt, but the back is a big back design, with only a few cloth straps. The skirt below is chiffon fabric, which is thin and short, and has a bit translucent feeling, giving people a hazy feeling. Of course, women in their forties dare to wear this way, but they still have to be innate. At least the figure of this woman is enough to support the texture of this set of clothes. If an old mother with a bucket waist is matched with such a set of things, she will really become a monster.
Unfortunately, although this woman looks pleasing to the eye, her mouth is really a bit like a bit.
"Who are you? Why are you rushing in without asking?"
Probably the dressing ended, and the woman who had turned her back to us before turned around at this time. Although I had guessed that this person was probably a beauty, I was really surprised when I saw it. Not only was this woman extremely beautiful, but the most important thing was that she had a bookish look, giving people a feeling of a lady of a noble family. What was strange was that she not only had the feeling of a lady of a scholarly family, but she also had the ability of a strong woman. Although these two temperaments were not complete
There was a complete conflict, but it was really strange to appear on one person at the same time. However, I just took a little attention and didn't look at her anymore. Although the beauty is a beauty, she didn't even know that it would be so impressive by just taking a look. Besides, there are fewer beauties around me? Let's not talk about my wife. Which one is Ling or Xiaochun, is weak? I am always surrounded by so many beauties, and even the evil ghosts in the sè will probably be numb to see it now, let alone I am not a good person.
I did not answer the middle-aged fu girl's words. I knew that people like her cannot be touched like mad dogs, otherwise the more they quarrel, the more they became more and more powerful. I directly glanced at several people in the room and asked, "Who can speak local dialect?" I didn't know what the situation was. After I asked a word, I didn't react in the room, and everyone was still staring at me. I had no choice but to say, "I just heard Major Yosauer say that someone here understands local dialect, so I came over and ask. What? Can't you none of you do?"
After a few more seconds of silence, a very nice and crisp sound suddenly came from the opposite side of the table. "I can do it a little."
What surprised me was that the woman who spoke was actually the woman who had turned her back to us before. At first, I thought she would be one of the two men here, or even the middle-aged woman, but I never thought it would be this woman.
Actually, I guessed it roughly as soon as I entered the room. This team of people is probably the team of reporters who followed the previous group of special forces, and the woman is obviously the anchor. Judging from her age, the one who is the least likely to understand the local dialect is her and the little girl who dressed up for her. After all, the locals speak a rare dialect, which not only has African languages, but also combines some Spanish and French, and also includes some weird languages of unknown origin. Moreover, the scope of this language is very narrow, and few people generally learn this dialect. After all, if you learn English, Japanese or something may be used at any time, but how should you use this indigenous language? How many of the more than one billion people in China can use this minority language?
Because of the narrow scope of use, I don’t believe that anyone will learn this language in advance. Generally, the staff sent here are just learning local daily terms while using English or French and Spanish as intermediaries. Normal people will not spend any effort to learn this.
Seeing me so surprised, the woman stood up and walked around the table. Only then did I realize that she was so tall. Because our dragon clan was made as a pilot of an immigration ship, it was designed to be only 1.72 meters tall in order to adapt to the relatively narrow environment in the spacecraft. Even if she was raised a little in armor and without a helmet, we were only about 1.78 meters tall, but this woman was a little taller than me in flat leather shoes. I guess she was 1.78 meters tall in barefoot.
A woman is already taller than a man. This woman is about 1.78 meters tall and about 1.80 meters tall and she is about 1.80 meters tall in flat shoes. But she looks like she is 1.85 meters tall, and she seems much taller than me. Moreover, I found that her body proportions are also perfect, just like an animated character. Tui is much longer than her body, and it feels almost as if it is two to one. With her bag, her two Tui looks even more slender.
"What are you going to find an interpreter? When I came, I learned some local daily terms on the plane. I can do even less complicated conversations."
I was surprised again when I heard the woman's words. "You said you were learning the dialect here on the way here?"
The woman knew what I was worried about when she heard my words. She smiled and said, "I am a language genius. No matter what language, you can remember 50% or 60% of the conversations by just listening to them. Find someone who understands this language and any language I understand and practice with me for a day or two. I can guarantee that most of the daily languages will be used to communicate normally. I have already found an opportunity to talk to locals outside these two days. It seems that ordinary communication is fine."
Our dragon clan can actually do this woman like this, but the problem is that we are artificial humans! Our brains have electronic chips. You can record all the words and pronunciations of a certain dialect by listening to them. When you talk about them later, just adjust the grammar and other things. But this woman can achieve similar effects to us by relying on the brain of ordinary people. This can only be said that she is a genius.
"To be honest, I'm very surprised at your learning ability, but there are indeed geniuses in this world, so your situation is still acceptable. But now I need an interpreter to help us communicate with the villagers outside. I wonder if you can help?"
"Of course." "No!" Two completely different answers came from two people. Of course, the young female anchor said that, while the middle-aged female girl who had already run to us at this time.
"Aunt Hong, I just went out to help them with the translation. Besides, I also want to interview local villagers."
"I said no, it's not possible." The middle-aged woman was very strong. She pulled the young female anchor and said, "You know that there is a war outside, and there is no eyebrow, let alone bullets? Even if you stay here, I feel worried. How could you let you take risks outside? Your mother and I are good sisters who have been playing together since childhood. If something happens, how can you tell your mother to explain it?"
"Oh, I'm not a three-year-old child! Besides, I finally got this opportunity. How can I interview if you don't let me go out? Don't worry, I will bring my helmet and wear a bulletproof vest, let alone they protect me. And the enemy has not come now. There are observation posts nearby. As long as you find the enemy, I promise to come back as soon as possible, right?"
Although the woman has a bad attitude towards us, she cares about the safety of her own people, so I can't say anything, so I can only wait for them to discuss and get a result. If it doesn't work, I can't let Ling read the memory directly. Although this may burn the other party to an idiot, I can only do this when there is no way.
Perhaps I also knew that there was no news to grab if the war correspondent didn't go out, and there was no enemy outside now, so it was relatively safe. In short, the middle-aged fu girl was finally convinced. She first said to the girl: "Okay. I can't control you anyway." Seeing that the girl was about to celebrate, she quickly added: "But remember that once the lookout here calls the police, you must come back immediately. Also, be careful outside, and find a place to hide as soon as possible if you find something wrong. It is best to stand among their crowds when moving, so that they can block them at least be safer."
Although the aunt said it very reasonably, it was really harsh to say that we were used as human shields in front of us. But I wasn't angry anyway, so I wasn't angry, just listening. But I didn't expect that the middle-aged girl turned to me after explaining to the girl and said, "Listen to me. Our Anqi's parents are well-known figures in Beijing, and she also knows many big figures. Especially Angel's boyfriend, who is a big figure. If you want to kill a big-headed soldier like you, it's just like playing. So you'd better protect Angel. If you have any questions, you must send her back first. Do you understand?"
Of course I understood the middle-aged woman's words, but I didn't answer anything. I didn't care about her words, so I didn't care about her, but it would be impossible to ask me to cooperate and flatter her. Therefore, I didn't say anything and said directly to the female anchor next to me: "Please."
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Didn't you hear me?" Seeing that I ignored her, the middle-aged woman actually shouted at me.
The female anchor next to her probably knew that I didn't like her parent, so in order to prevent us from arguing, she quickly blocked the middle-aged woman and said, "Oh, Aunt Hong, don't worry. Let's go back." As she said that, she shouted to the person who was fiddling with camera equipment inside: "Chang Bin, go with me?"
The man on the table was moving quickly. When he heard the call, he lifted the machine, grabbed a piece of clothing on the shelf next to him and ran out. I guess he was also annoyed by the middle-aged woman, and now he took the opportunity to escape and didn't want to be bombarded with fatigue.
Although the middle-aged woman was very angry behind her, she couldn't chase and scold her because we walked out first. But in the end, she was worried and sent us to the gate of the gathering place.
I had a quarrel in the building before, but after I came out, she found that our equipment was quite strange. Since the armor on us was designed according to the appearance in the game, it looked too gorgeous. Besides, the shapes of the magic era-style armor and modern weapons are also very different. In short, it looks very awkward.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask, "What kind of troops are you? Are you playing this piece of things? Are you performing or a unit?"
When the female anchor next to her heard this question, she turned her head over with interest. To be honest, she wanted to ask a question a long time ago, after all, this thing looks strange no matter how you look at it.
"Sorry, your confidentiality level is not enough, I can't tell you anything." When I heard the middle-aged woman's words, I choked her completely. Can you be more powerful than the military confidentiality regulations? If you don't believe it, go and ask the specific location of the national nuclear arsenal? Unless you have enough confidentiality level, whoever dares to tell you will be finished, and you can't escape.
The middle-aged fu girl who had hit a nail here no longer talked to us, but explained various precautions to the female anchor. Soon we arrived at the door and obtained two sets of bulletproof vests and helmets from the doorman. The female anchor and the cameraman each wore one. The female anchor changed into the bulletproof vests and looked at me, and then asked, "Don't you need to change it?" She saw me looking at her and asked again, "I don't think the things on you are like metal. Can you really block bullets?"
Although the middle-aged fu girl next to her wanted to say the best thing to let them die, she still held back. To be honest, she was actually very curious. However, I didn't answer their questions, but just put the helmet on and pulled the mask off and said, "You don't have to worry about us, just take care of yourself." As I said, I said to Jingjing again, "Jingjing, you are responsible for protecting her and the cameraman." After that, I said to the female anchor again, "If there is a fight, you can hide behind her. She has a shield in her hand and the protection area is relatively large."
"Yes, yes." The middle-aged fu girl shouted quickly: "As soon as there is a fight, you should hide behind him, he can help you block bullets."
"Oh, I understand!" The female anchor said impatiently and asked the guard to open the door. I asked the guard to notify Zhao Jie that we would go out and call us on the radio if there was something.
After the heavy door closed behind us, the female anchor suddenly shouted: "Huh, I'm finally free! I haven't asked this before, what are your name? Since we are going to cooperate next, at least we have to know how to call each other, right? Let me introduce myself first. My name is An Min, safe An, agile Min. That's photography Chang Bin. What about you?"
I turned my head and looked at An Min, then said, "My name is Shenlin, this one is Ling, she is Xiaochun, Jingjing, Lingling, Emmenis, Yeyue..."
After listening to my introductions, An Min shouted in surprise: "Aren't you all Chinese? And it seems that many of them are female names?"
Because everyone's helmets and masks have not been opened except me, An Min and the others have never noticed our composition. Although Ling's armor actually has obvious female characteristics, most people are still used to using facial features to distinguish between people.
After we introduced, An Min immediately said, "Okay, we will know each other if we know the name. I just knew you were annoyed by Aunt Hong. Don't take it to your heart. She is such a person, she is unforgivable, but she is actually kind."
Chang Bin, who had been carrying the camera, also said, "This is the truth. Sister Hong treats us very well, but she is so good at speaking. I often think, how great it would be if she was a mute!"
Because An Min's xing style is super cheerful and extremely talkative, Ling and the other women soon became familiar with each other. It has to be said that it is much easier for women to become friends or enemies than men.
Speaking of which, Ling and Xiaochun are both artificial humans. Although they have high intelligence, they have a lower experience after all, so many people and worldly affairs are not as good as An Min. After all, she is a reporter, and being able to speak is the basic skill. After getting to know us, she decisively began to cliché, but I didn’t hear any important information, so I ignored them.
At this time, An Min was holding Xiaochun's arm, who was the best fool in the crowd she found, and said while walking: "What material is your armor? It's so cool and smooth. Is it glass?"
Xiaochun said silly: "This is a ceramic material, but it is different from the ones you eat at home. This is a special ceramic with a hardness similar to diamond, and it is not easy to oxidize at high temperatures like diamonds. This can withstand high temperatures to more than 3,000 degrees and still maintain the hardness without a significant decrease."
"Wow, three thousand degrees, it's so amazing. But you're really burning to such a high temperature, aren't you burning it to death?"
"Of course not. The ceramic itself has a certain heat insulation effect, and there are special designs inside the armor. Although it is okay to not really withstand high temperatures to 3,000 degrees, we can hold on to temperatures within 1,800 degrees for an hour or two, but it will not work if it is hotter. Although the ceramic outside is fine, the high temperature insulation layer inside cannot withstand it."
"That's great, it's fine if you walk in the fireplace for ordinary fires, right?"
"That's right, the fire scene is only 1,560,000 yuan during a fire, and it really does not have a social threat to us."
An Min pretended to behave unintentionally and said, "This defense is really good, but aren't you tired of wearing this? The ceramics are very heavy, and why don't you say there is something else inside?"
"Oh, this one won't be there." Xiaochun said: "We are different from ordinary people. We are very strong. We wear this just like you ordinary people wearing a single dress, and each one doesn't feel it." Although Xiaochun is a little simpler, she is not stupid after all, so of course she knows what she shouldn't say.
An Min nodded and said, "But even if you have enough strength, you will still be tired when walking long roads? After all, is human physical fitness limited?"
"This is actually easier to wear." Xiao Chun explained in An Min's inquiring gaze: "This set looks like a performance suit, but it is actually a power armor with a power device inside. Even if we don't work hard, it can still move us. If we are injured and fainted, as long as we set up an automatic return, it can even take us back to the base by ourselves."
"Wow, so awesome?" An Min was laughing there like a child. Xiaochun also followed her, but Ling shook her head. Compared to Xiaochun, Ling was much more slippery. She had noticed that An Min was deliberately talking, but like me, she didn't care.
Along the way, Xiaochun was hiding a lot of things by An Min, a girl who pretended to be crazy. Of course, there was nothing that really needed to be kept confidential, otherwise we would definitely use the radio network to notify her of what she could not say immediately.
After walking a short distance from the gathering place, we arrived at the area where the locals lived. This place was only seven or eight hundred meters away from the gathering place. It seemed that this place had formed a large-scale market. Although the foreigners in the gathering place had only a few hundred people and had limited consumption capacity, this place was stationed with a small peacekeeping force, and the public security was much better than other places. In addition, the purchasing power of foreign consumer groups, a market was formed soon, so locals also came here to buy things, and the scale would naturally become larger over time. Moreover, if these foreigners did not evacuate, the scale here would be further expanded.
There were still many people in the village who were active, but when they saw us approaching, many old and weak children hid back home. Although their houses built with wood and leaves may not necessarily survive the foot of normal soldiers, it was a home at least, and at least it could give people some psychological comfort. However, although these girls and girls hid, the villagers did not hide completely. Instead, some people would move things at home and walked towards us.
“…” “…”
When both of us approached, the person in front immediately took out a lot of necklaces, wooden or bone crafts such as bracelets began to shout something to us. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, the awareness was very obvious, and this was selling things to us.
I glanced at the crafts. To be honest, in addition to the local style, the craftsmanship level and artistic connotation are really not satisfactory. Many wood carvings only have a few strokes, which looks like the children's abstract paintings are carved on wood. It would be okay to bring a few strings of this thing back to commemorate it when traveling, but of course the premise is not too expensive.
Seeing that there were villagers around me who were gradually surrounding us, I directly pulled Anmin to help with the translation. I brought her here to do this. If she was trapped by her all the way, it was time for her to play a role. "Tell me that I don't buy things, but I have questions and want to ask them, and I can pay for it." In the base, I had asked Emmenis to find the person in charge here to search for some US dollars, RMB and euros. These three currencies are hard currency here, and they are very popular because of their purchasing power guaranteed.
Zhao Jie also knew that being surrounded like this was not a problem, so she quickly translated my words. However, after she finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and all the locals stood there and watched us in a daze.
Chapter completed!
