时光没有情感,无论风景如何变幻,它仍然头也不回,裹挟着世界大步往前。Interstellar Community in chaos caused by warageis flooding the countlessturbulence, is changing the life of innumerablepersonwith the differentways, some people of activejoin in the era'stide, some people of involuntarywere involved in the vortex, somepeoplemixto eatto wait for deathfirmly, hides insmall buildingto become a series, managesitsspringsummerandfall and winter.
战乱年代中的星际社会充斥着数不尽的动荡,用不同的方式改变着亿兆人的生活,有人主动投身于时代的浪潮,有人身不由己被卷入漩涡,也有人坚定地混吃等死,躲进小楼成一统,管它春夏与秋冬。

游行、独立、叛乱、政治倾轧……层出不穷的连锁反应在各个星域蔓延,若把每一个爆发的事件当成盛放的鲜花,那宇宙里正是万紫千红、花团锦簇。
The root of stormisamongThree Great Civilizations and Super Star Cluster Alliance„Glittering Campaign”, afterInextinguishedvanishes, the wargets stronger and stronger, graduallytransited the regular armyto enter the warfrom the client war.
风暴的根源是三大文明和超星团同盟之间的“闪耀会战”,在不灭者消失之后,战争愈演愈烈,逐渐从代理人战争过渡到了正规军参战。Even if the both sidestacit understandingis maintaining the lowintensitycombat, but the higher civilizationbiggroupcombatgeneralinfluencedoes not have the abilityparticipation.
即使双方默契地维持着低烈度作战,可高等文明的大集团作战也不是一般势力有能耐参与的。Eachupfrontbattleline of Fourth Issue Explorationregionalmostbecame the forbidden area, the higher civilizationwar machinestarts, thatisdifferentinvastPrestige of individualmighty force, just likeconqueringstarry sky.第四期探索区域的各个正面战线几乎成了禁区,高等文明的战争机器开动起来,那是迥异于个体伟力的浩瀚威能,宛若征服了星空。Faces the Three Great Civilizations'regular armyto attack, Super Star Cluster Alliancebecause of the line of supplylimitedissue, the strengthfalls shortgradually, time after timewas won the domain, battlelinecompressesunceasingly.
面对着三大文明的正规军进攻,超星团同盟因为补给线有限的问题,渐渐力有不逮,一次次被夺走地盘,战线不断压缩。ButinthiseraSurging Tide, Super A Grade can actually stand one's ground steadfastly, the easy life has enjoyably, the low-keydevelopment, each otherwearing, improves the associationbenefitnetworkslowly, makingeachindustry the Super A Gradeinfluenceconnect, composeshugebenefitunited body.
而在这股时代狂潮之中,超A级却得以岿然不动,小日子过得十分舒心,低调发展,彼此磨合,慢慢完善协会的利益网络,让各个行业的超A级势力连接起来,组成庞大的利益联合体。Outsideis thick as thieves, Han Xiaofor the time beingtreats as unable to see, announcedclosing upearly, except for the Super A Graderegular meeting, basicallyno longergoes outeach time, has soakedin the factorystudiesThies'technological treasure.
外头打得火热,韩萧权且当作看不见,早早宣布了闭关,除了每次超A级例会,基本不再出门,一直泡在工厂里研究杰斯的技术宝藏。

而圣约组织的众多最初者都在安安分分闭关,麦尼逊、索罗金等有恩怨的家伙也在忙着他们的事,没人打扰自己。Underthisharmoniousenvironment, Great Technician Hancanbe relievedfinallycloses doorto studyseveralyears of technology.
就在这种和谐的环境之下,韩大技师终于能安下心来闭门研究了好几年的技术。Butduring the research, healsotookStuart Peace Prize, brushed1fame, maintained the a period of timepublic opinionheat degree.
而在研究期间,他还拿了一次斯图尔特和平奖,刷了一点传说度,保持了一段时间的舆论热度。

今天全部课程都停止了,所有学员与教官聚集在最大的广场上,仰头看着覆盖天际的大型虚拟屏幕。
The screenis divided intodozenssmallwindows, eachwindowis the differentpictures, majorityfromdifferentis away from, angleto monitor the onewhole bodyilluminationperson's shadow.
屏幕分成几十个小窗口,每个窗口都是不同的画面,大部分正在从不同距离、角度监控着一个浑身发光的人影。But the one of themostmacroscopicoverlookingpicturewas demonstrating the spheremechanicalsatellite that is proliferating the energycircuit, stretches outdense and numerouschimney-typedevice, partconstantlyis absorbingamongcosmoseverywheredark energy, partis emitting the incandescentcolorplasmaenergy, the superficialenergycircuitresemblesbreathesgeneralflickernot just/without end, this seems someenergy cycle and conversion apparatus.
而其中一个最宏观的俯视画面则显示着一颗遍布着能量回路的球形机械卫星,伸出密密麻麻的烟囱式的装置,一部分在不断吸取着宇宙间无处不在的暗能量,一部分喷吐着白炽色的等离子能量,表面的能量回路像呼吸一般闪烁不止,这仿佛是某种能量循环和转化设备。If the people in squarelooktoanother sidehorizon, thencanseeseveralsimilarsatellitesonfloatsky over the base, one of theis operating, is the individual in picture.
如果广场上的众人望向另一边的天际,便能看见好几个相似的卫星就悬浮在基地上空,其中一个正在运行,正是画面内的个体。Thisis the supplementary facilities in training base, the official name is „High-energy Lifeform Body Sublimation Device”, callsin the studentmouthmakes„Energy-gathering Tower”, is dedicated, throughspecificEnergy Conversion and savingsway, provides the onespecialenvironment, is usedto assistnatural disaster gradeto bridge overessentialonestep, the smallscopeenhancementbreaks through the Super A Gradeprobability.
这是训练基地的配套设施,正式名称叫做“高能量生命体升华装置”,在学员口中唤作“聚能塔”,用途单一,通过特定的能量转化、积蓄方式,营造出一个特殊的环境,用来辅助天灾级跨过关键的一步,小幅度提高突破超A级的几率。Generally speaking, thisdevicemanyyearsdo not use the previoustime, butnowfinallywelcome a user of suitablestandard, arein the basefamousGaud.
一般来说,这种装置很多年都用不上一次,而现在终于迎来了一位适格的使用者,正是基地里大名鼎鼎的高德。Exercised for manyyearsin the base, heaccumulatesfinally, the quantitative changeachieves the qualitative change, tookofficiallythisstep.
在基地里锻炼了多年,他终于积累完毕,量变达到质变,正式迈出了这一步。Allstudentsandinstructorrunto look onespecially, hold the breathcongealing shen, whennewSuper A Gradebirth.
所有学员和教官都特地跑来旁观,屏息凝神,等到新的超A级诞生。Sees onlyin the picture, the illuminationperson's shadowplaces oneselfinenergyCenter of the Vortex that devicebuilds, the bodyis swallowing up the surroundingenergy, pulls the colorfulenergy flux, quality of materialliketissue of drifting in the wind, likesmog of fluctuation, is seemingly dreamlike.
只见画面中,发光的人影置身于装置营造的能量漩涡中心,身体鲸吞着周围的能量,拉扯出五颜六色的能量流,质地如同飘拂的薄纱,又像变幻的烟雾,看上去如梦似幻。How longcrosseddid not know, the person's shadowwas similarsaturatedstatus, stopped the absorption of energygradually, the brightness of bodyreduced, the energylocked in within the body, was no longer assigned away from the capital.
过了不知道多久,人影仿佛到了饱和状态,渐渐停止了能量的吸收,身体的亮度降低,能量都锁在了体内,不再外放。the next moment, Gaudopened the eye, in the eyespouted the ray, crossed for onesecondthento receive.下一刻,高德睁开了眼睛,眼中喷出光芒,过了一秒便收了回去。Hisfiguremoves, changes to a meteorsuddenly, in being separatedchannelfollowingdeviceflew, drops from the cloudsunderglare of the public eye, floatin the above of crowd.
他身形一动,陡然化作一颗流星,顺着装置内部的脱离通道飞了出来,在众目睽睽之下从天而降,悬浮在了人群的上方。„Hesucceeded!!”
“他成功了!!”
The cheers that soars to the heavensshot up to the skyfrom the square, presenteveryoneto witness a birth of Super A Grade, at this momentwasexcitedis charmed, excited.
冲天的欢呼声从广场冲天而起,在场所有人见证了一名超A级的诞生,此刻都是一脸兴奋神往,激动不已。At this time, Gaudcontrolled the bodyto drop, justfell to the ground, basesupervisorandChief Instructorthenwelcomed, smiled the whole faceto pleat.
这时,高德控制着身体下降,刚落地,基地主管和总教官便迎了上来,笑出了满脸褶子。„Congratulations, congratulatedyouto step into the Super A Gradedomain, youhave not really disappointedEmpire!”
“恭喜恭喜,祝贺你踏入了超A级的领域,你果然没让帝国失望!”Initiallytwo peoplethink that Gaud in twotoeightyearswas likelyto break throughSuper A Grade, nowGaudspent the 4~5yearthento succeed, the promotionprocesswas smoother than the imagination, two peopleguesses, were really happier than anybodyat this time.
当初两人认为高德在二到八年内有望突破超A级,现在高德花了四五年便成功了,晋升过程比想象中更顺利,两人的猜测成了真,此时比任何人都要开心。Gaudmovedto point, seemed likestrengthafterfamiliarpromotion, spoke thoughtlesslyto ask: „Empirehigh tiershouldto seeme, when?”高德活动了一下手指,似乎是在熟悉晋升后的力量,随口问道:“帝国高层应该要见我吧,什么时候?”„Yes, Head of Statealreadyinyou.”
“是的,元首已经在等你了。”„Guides.”
“带路吧。”
The Gaudtone not saltyis not pale.高德语气不咸不淡。
The studenton the scenewas driven awaydivergencebyinstructor, Gaudwas changingclothes, comes to a telematicsroom of highspecificationwithbasesupervisor.
在场的学员被教官驱赶着散去,高德换了一身衣服,跟基地主管来到一间高规格的远程通讯室。Then, basesupervisordrew back, onlykeepsGaudalone/one personin the room.
接着,基地主管自个儿退了出去,只留高德一个人在房间里面。Gaudoperatedcommunicationdevice, openschannel that the long-distanceprojectionentersarranges, the the next momentline of sightchanges, had come to the Head of Stateoffice, thensawsittingUlanrierandis standingKlotti.高德操作了一下通讯装置,开启远程投影进入定好的频道,下一刻视线一变,已经来到了元首办公室之中,一眼便看到了坐着的乌兰瑞尔和站着的克洛蒂。„Congratulatesyouto becomeSuper A Grade, Empireis proud ofyou.” The Ulanriertoneis kind.
“恭喜你成为超A级,帝国为你骄傲。”乌兰瑞尔语气和蔼。„Hello, Head of StateYour Distinguished Self.”Gaudnodsexpresses best wishes.
“你好,元首阁下。”高德颔首致意。„Youdois very good, growth rateexceedsouranticipations......”
“你做的很棒,成长速度超过我们的预期……”Ulanrierencouraged, thisis the patriotic education that eachdirect lineSuper A Grademusthave, encouragesthemfor the Empirepotency.乌兰瑞尔勉励了一番,这是每个嫡系超A级都要接受的爱国主义教育,激励他们为帝国效力。Said a meeting, Ulanriermentioned the proper businessquickly, said:
说了一会,乌兰瑞尔很快谈起了正事,道:„Aboutyourjurisdiction, treatmentandduty, Empiremeets the as fast as possibleadjustment, whatidea do youhavetoyourduty?”
“关于你的权限、待遇、职务,帝国会尽快调整,你对自身的职务有什么想法吗?”„Mystrengthis not consolidated, temporarilydoes not wantto hold the post of the duty, the futurewords...... Ithought that myabilityis very suitableas the assistance of scientific research, Ihope the Empirescience instituteassignment.”
“我的力量还不巩固,暂时不想担任职务,未来的话……我觉得我的能力很适合作为科研的辅助,我希望去帝国科学院任职。”Gaudfaint smile.高德似笑非笑。„Un, Empirewill consideryouropinion.”Ulanriernods.
“嗯,帝国会考虑你的意见。”乌兰瑞尔点头。At this time, the Gaudvisionnarrowed the eyes, said: „speaking of which, IamSuper A Grade, does not know that initiallyaimed at the Evolution Cube'splanwhethercanstart?”
这时,高德目光一眯,道:“说起来,我已经是超A级了,不知道当初针对进化方块的计划是否可以开始了?”hearsword, Ulanrierstopped moving.
闻言,乌兰瑞尔动作一顿。Manyyears ago, the Empirehigh tiersecretprepared the oneplan, after that is otherGaudstepped into the Super A Gradedomains, thenuseshisabilityto analyze the Evolution Cube'senergyconstitution, as the matter standshas the probabilitysecretto decodesomeEvolution Cube'sprinciples, makingEmpireacquire the technology, treats as the insurance.
在多年以前,帝国高层秘密筹划了一个方案,那就是等高德踏入超A级领域后,便利用他的异能解析进化方块的能量构成,这样一来有几率秘密破解进化方块的部分原理,让帝国获得技术,当作保险。Plansto might as wellchange, theseyear of Black Star Legion'sdevelopevery day sees new progress, the venture capitalis getting higher and higher, afterBlack StarbecomesThree Great CivilizationsSpecially Arranged Security Adviser, this/shouldplanthenreached a deadlockby the Unlimitedperiod.
只是计划不如变化,这些年黑星军团的发展日新月异,风险成本越来越高,在黑星成为三大文明特约安全顾问后,该计划便被无限期搁浅了。Ulanriersilenceseveralseconds, shook the head saying: „Thisplandoes not implementtemporarily, wedo not hopehas the enmityat presentwithBlack Star, even if the probabilityis very low.”乌兰瑞尔沉默了几秒,摇头道:“这份方案暂时不予实行,我们目前不希望与黑星产生嫌隙,哪怕几率很低。”Gaudnarrows the eye, asked: „Good, do Iaccept the Evolution Cubebaptism the treatmentalsoin?”高德眯起眼睛,问道:“好吧,那我接受进化方块洗礼的待遇还在吗?”„Also , the words that youwant, submitsoneto applyto come up, wewill arrangeyouto the nextbatch of fleets, goes toGlittering Worldto look forBlack Starto accept the Evolution Cube'sbaptism.”
“还在,你想要的话,就提交一份申请上来,我们会把你安排到下一批船队,去闪耀世界找黑星接受进化方块的洗礼。”Saying, Ulanrierpaused, is adding: „ArrivedGlittering World, youwent toFein Starwhile convenient, joinsSuper A Grade Association, Empireneedsinassociationto havemoredirect line , helping stare attheirtrend.”
说着,乌兰瑞尔顿了顿,补充道:“到了闪耀世界,你顺便去一趟费恩星,加入超A级协会,帝国需要协会里面存在更多嫡系,帮忙盯着他们的动向。”
The Gaudvisionflashes, „line, Iwill go.”高德目光一闪,“行,我会去的。”Two peoplecontinuedto exchange, separated the communication, from beginning to end, Klottihas not spoken, as ifonesculpture.
两人继续交流了一番,才断开了通讯,自始至终,克洛蒂都没有说话,仿佛一个雕塑。Relieves the long-distanceprojection, Gaudreturns to the room, lookflickeris uncertain, does not know that is thinkinganything.
解除远程投影,高德回到房间里,眼神闪烁不定,不知道在想什么。Hewas ponderingsame place a meeting, is preparingto push the door, butat this moment, personalcommunicatormade a soundsuddenly, receivedencryptioncommunication request, isBekrodisends inunexpectedly.
他在原地思考了一会,正准备推门而出,可就在这时,身上的私人通讯器突然响了起来,接到了一则加密通讯申请,竟然是贝可罗迪发来的。GaudveryearlythenandUnyielding Factionmakes the contacts, Bekrodiis one of the militaryUnyielding Factionhigh tier, after the planreaches a deadlock, both sidesverylonga period of timehad not related, the purposes in coming of hissomecuriousopposite party.高德很早便和强硬派搭上了线,贝可罗迪是军方强硬派的高层之一,计划搁浅后,双方已经很长一段时间没有联系了,他有些好奇对方的来意。Quick, communicationconnection.
很快,通讯接通。„Gaud?”
“高德?”„IsI, whatmatterasksmeto have?”
“是我,找我有什么事?”„Congratulatesyouto becomeSuper A Grade, but alsoremembers that initialplan, allas usual, youaccept the Evolution Cubebaptismtime, analyzes the Evolution Energyprinciplewithyourability.”In the encryptionchannel, the Bekrodivoiceseemsveryfuzzy.
“恭喜你成为超A级,还记得当初的计划吧,一切照旧,你接受进化方块洗礼的时候,用你的能力分析进化能量原理。”加密频道里,贝可罗迪的声线显得十分模糊。„ oh? HowHead of Statedid not say.”Gaudhas a relish.
“哦?元首可不是怎么说的。”高德饶有兴致。SomeBekrodias ifexpectations, lower the soundto sayearly: „Glittering Campaigncontinuouswill not be long.”贝可罗迪似乎早有预料,压低声音道:“闪耀会战不会持续太久。”Thisreplyis seemingly farfetched, butGaudunderstood the meaning of opposite party.
这句回答貌似驴唇不对马嘴,但高德明白了对方的意思。NowEmpireknowsup and downUlanrierwill soon resign, butthismatterhappensinevitablyafter the warended, newHead of State that at the appointed time, in the systemhas arrangedthenmeets the high-rank, completes the transition of highestpower.
现在帝国上下都知道乌兰瑞尔即将卸任,而这件事必然发生在战争结束之后,届时,体制内早已定好的新元首便会上位,完成最高权力的过渡。Thereforeinend of term, the control of Ulanriertohigh tiercannotsuppressslid, the newHead of Statestatusstrictlykeeps secretto the outside world, buttoBekrodithisgradationHolder of Poweris not the secret.
所以在任期的末尾,乌兰瑞尔对高层的掌控力不可抑制地下滑了,新元首的身份对外界严格保密,但对贝可罗迪这种层次的掌权者不是秘密。AlthoughGaud not clearnewHead of Statestatus, buteight parts/most likelycanconclude,Bekrodimakeshimcontinueto carry outto analyze the Evolution Cube'splan, obtainedinciting of newHead of Statein secret.高德虽然不清楚新元首的身份,但八成可以断定,贝可罗迪让他继续执行解析进化方块的计划,暗中得到了新元首的授意。Throughthismatter, Gaudthensneaks a peek atnextHead of Stateas ifto havestrongerdesire for controlfaintly, no wondermixed the same placewithUnyielding Faction.
通过这件事,高德便隐隐窥见下一任元首似乎具备更强的掌控欲,怪不得和强硬派混到一起去了。Understoodfrom the anotheraspect,perhapsnewHead of Statedoes not wantin officeto carry outthisriskyplan, thereforeshifts the risktoend of formerterm.
从另一个方面理解,也许新元首不希望在任期内执行这种冒险的方案,所以把风险转移到前任任期的末尾。Gaudnarrowed the eyeto hesitate a meeting, saidslowly: „Knew, Iwill try to find the solution.”高德眯着眼睛沉吟了一会,缓缓道:“知道了,我会想办法。”„Verygood, lookedyour.”
“很好,看你的了。”Bekrodiwas brief and to the point, hung up the telephone conversation.贝可罗迪言简意赅,挂断了通话。Gaudsimplyhas not caredthismatter, the expressionseems like recallinganything, in the handholds appreciativelycommunicator, in the eyeis revealing the inexplicablemood.高德根本没把这件事放在心上,表情像是在回忆着什么,手里把玩着通讯器,眼中流露着莫名的情绪。‚Black Star, wemustmeetfinally......’
‘黑星,我们终于又要见面了……’

……Severaldayslater, Black Star's Mobile Palace, legion commanderprivatefactory.
数天后,黑星行宫,军团长的私人工厂。Is debuggingHan Xiao of machineryto receive the Philip'sreportsuddenly.
正在调试机械的韩萧忽然接到了菲利普的报告。„owner, IreceiveEmpirenewperiod of list that accepts the Evolution Cubebaptismbuzz.”
“主人,我收到帝国新一期接受进化方块洗礼的名单了嗡。”Han Xiaodoes not lift, minding one's own businessis operating the instrument, said without thinking: „Whatnoteworthypersonhas?”韩萧头也不抬,自顾自操作着仪器,随口道:“有什么值得注意的人吗?”„Has, inthistimelistpresentedonenewEmpiredirect lineSuper A Grade, is calledGaudbuzz!”
“有哇有哇,这次的名单里出现了一个新的帝国嫡系超A级,叫做高德嗡!”
The Han Xiao'smovementstoppedsuddenly.韩萧的动作陡然停了下来。„Gaud?”
“高德?”Hefinishes upworkon hand, assigned out the listto read a Gaud'sbasic information, the eyenarrowed the eyesimmediately, the recollectionfloated the heartimmediately.
他放下手头的工作,调出名单看了一眼高德的基本资料,眼睛顿时眯了起来,回忆立马浮上心头。„Probablydozensyears ago hitsKund Racetimehas seenseveral, a little impression, at that timeprobablywas onlyoneaide......”
“好像是几十年前打昆德族的时候见过几面,有点印象,当时好像只是一个副官……”Felt strange, thisfellowbecameSuper A Gradeunexpectedly, the previous generationmaynot havethisNo. 1powerhouseah, is difficultto be inadequateismybutterfly effect.
奇怪了,这家伙竟然成了超A级,前世可没有这一号强者啊,难不成又是我的蝴蝶效应。Han Xiaobrought back the corners of the mouth.韩萧勾起了嘴角。„A littlemeaning, whenthisfellowarrived, Igo towhat's the matter.”
“有点意思,等这家伙到了,我去查查是怎么回事。”No matterwhoin any case the opposite partyis, since the previous generationhas not presentedthisSuper A Grade, thenhas certainly the secretto dig, perhapsondelegatethispersonalso to meetHidden Quest, oneselfhave no reasonto let off.
反正不管对方是谁,既然前世没有出现过这号超A级,那就代表此人身上一定有秘密可挖,说不定还能遇到隐藏任务,自己没理由放过。
