The title of temporary company commander unexpectedly came to Yi Chen, which surprised and delighted him. Although this does not mean that he is a real company commander, with this qualification, he can bring a lot of benefits in the Kabasi Empire military in the future. The most important thing in the military is undoubtedly personal ability, followed by qualifications.

"This company commander is a bit baffling. I don't know what the devil Huffman was thinking. He beat me up and made me the temporary company commander." Yi Chen thought.

At the same time, he also admired Huffman's broadmindedness. Yi Chen's current identity is the Panhua tribe, a nation that was suppressed in the Kabasi Empire. Huffman had no racial prejudice and did not hesitate to remove Bol from Kabas and appointed Yi Chen as the temporary company commander.

"Devil Huffman is a real soldier." Yi Chen commented in his heart.

Li Feng, Xiao Yi, Keen, Nangong Yi and other people who were close to Yi Chen came over to congratulate him.

Townsend, Gatsby and a few recruits from the Kabas tribe also came to say hello to Yi Chen, which was regarded as recognizing his new identity. This is also the result of Yi Chen deliberately expressing himself from the first day he joined the army. He has always shown himself to be responsible, willing to help others, hard-working yet cheerful and funny, and has won the favor and acceptance of everyone.

The gap of racial prejudice is not easy to bridge. There are still many Kabasi recruits who watch silently, neither approving nor opposing. Yi Chen didn't have a good solution, so he could only take one step at a time and then make plans.

Life in the military camp continues.

"Keene, insert the magnetic conduit into the gun bore and fix the optical brain-assisted sight... The magazine needs to be clicked hard. When you hear a 'click', it means it is installed. OK, you're done." Yi Chen He patiently taught Keen how to disassemble and assemble the newly issued CL2053 magnetic energy rifle.

The design of the CL2053 magnetic energy rifle is very sci-fi. The gray-black gun body has sharp edges and corners, exuding a geometric beauty. It is also the standard weapon of the interstellar paratroopers. Under full power, a cone-shaped bullet of only 0.7 cm can be fired at a speed of 3400M/S, easily penetrating a 50 cm thick steel plate.

The combat environment of interstellar paratroopers is mostly inside the planet. This is a battle within the atmosphere. In this combat environment, small directed energy weapons such as lasers, particles, lasers, etc. will absorb a large amount of energy from air molecules, weakening the attack effectiveness.

The CL2053 magnetic energy rifle does not have this drawback. It uses magnetic coils to accelerate metal bullets to terrifying speeds, and relies on physical kinetic energy to impact and destroy the target.

You could also say that it attacks in the same way as the ancient chemical gunpowder-driven bullets. But their power is very different.

The CL2053's magazine holds up to 300 rounds, and is about the same size and weight as a submachine gun magazine on Earth. It powers the magnetic coils with a crystal called 'tide'. A piece the size of a fingernail can support the CL2053 for 100,000 consecutive shots.

Energy crystals like 'tide' only exist on planets close to black holes. It is very difficult to mine, but the energy contained is terrifying. It is also one of the most advanced energy crystals in the universe.

Yi Chen fell in love with the CL2053 when he first got it. There is no man who doesn't like guns. Unfortunately, his living environment did not allow him to have the opportunity to touch a real firearm.

After learning about the parameters of the CL2053 magnetic energy rifle, Yi Chen estimated that if he could get one and bring it back to Earth, he could defeat a medium-sized country. It directly penetrates a 50 cm thick steel plate. Except for tanks, no other weapons on earth can withstand it.

The range of CL2053 is even more terrifying, a full 20 kilometers away. However, this distance has exceeded the visual limit and must be achieved with an optical brain-assisted sight. The accuracy at this time is also greatly compromised.

The sound of "click" interrupted Yi Chen's fantasy, and Keen skillfully loaded the magazine into the CL2053 magnetic rifle.

"Company Commander! It's done. I think it's not difficult to assemble the rifle. Hehe!" Keen smiled naively, with much more confidence in his eyes.

Some time ago, he strained his hips too much during physical training. After Yi Chen became the temporary company commander, he often spent his rest time helping guide him.

Others can learn it three times, but he can master it basically after 100 times. He is often laughed at behind everyone's back. In particular, some die-hard Kabasi tribe members headed by Boer did not approve of Yi Chen, so they deliberately watched the jokes of Keen, who was coached by Yi Chen alone.

This put Keane under tremendous pressure. He, who already lacked willpower and courage, was almost desperate and wanted to give up!

Yi Chen couldn't let him go. Keen was now a banner for him to establish his status in the 7th company. If Keane can be trained, firstly, he can prove to the devil Huffman that he did not choose the wrong person; secondly, it can send a signal to everyone that Yi Chen has outstanding selfless ability. He didn't even give up on the clumsy Keen, who was not of his own race, so naturally he wouldn't give up on anyone else in the 7th company.

With such a utilitarian mentality, Yi Chen took the trouble to help Keen.

It seems that everyone has merit. Keane is a mess in other aspects, but he is very good at firearms. Yi Chen only taught him three times, and Keen was able to skillfully disassemble and assemble the rifle, faster than Yi Chen, the master.

"Everyone stand at attention!" As Deputy Instructor Bill shouted, all the recruits in the 7th Company barracks quickly stood up and took in their abdomens. They held the CL2053 magnetic energy rifle supported by the butt of the gun on the ground with their right hand and made a standard military posture.

Huffman patrolled back and forth, his hawk-like eyes scanning over everyone. In the end, no problems were found, and he showed a satisfied look.

Laughing, that's impossible. Yi Chen has never noticed Huffman smiling at them. He even doubted that Huffman wouldn't laugh!

"Tonight, you will sleep with your rifle. You will give your rifle a girl's name, because this is the only companion you can have!" Huffman's impassioned speech.

Yi Chen could only complain in his mind about the really weird request. Even if he slept with the rifle, he also had to give it a girl's name. Even if you beat him to death, he won't give Chang Meng's name to the CL2053 magnetic energy rifle in his hand.

Huffman continued, "Your days of touching the opposite sex with your hands are over. You will be married to this weapon made of alloy and plastic, and you must be loyal to it. Get ready and go to bed."

Following Huffman's order, all the recruits picked up their CL2053 and lay down on the bed in unison, with the rifle next to them.

"Start praying!" Huffman gave another order.

Everyone held the rifle with both hands, raised it parallel to the lying body, and sang "The Song of the Rifle" together.

“This is my rifle, and there are many others like it, but this one is mine.

My rifle is my best friend and my life.

I must control the rifle as I control my life.

Without me, my rifle is useless, and without my rifle, I am useless.

I'm always ready to fire!

I have to shoot my enemy first or he will kill me.

I must shoot the enemy before he shoots me.

In front of the God of the universe, I make this oath!

My rifle is myself and the defender of the empire.

We are the saviors of life.

Until there are no enemies, until peace is achieved.

Amen! "

The lights have been turned off and the barracks are silent!

Huffman stood at the door of the barracks and did not leave for a long time. This was another group of recruits he had trained and finally took up arms again. He had forgotten which batch this was, it had been too long!

He likes military camps and fighting, and his dream is to serve the empire on the battlefield. Based on his qualifications, he should have been promoted to a higher position long ago. Miles Mark, the base commander of the 11th Regiment, was once his comrade-in-arms.

He hated complicated interpersonal relationships and all kinds of intrigues, so he voluntarily gave up a higher position and stayed in the military camp as a recruit instructor.

Many people felt unworthy of him, but he said, "Compared to those comrades who never came back from the battlefield, I am very lucky! And very contented!".

"Let's go!" Huffman said calmly to Bill and Yan Hui.

In the darkness, Yi Chen did not fall asleep immediately. "Rifle Song" actually gave him a sense of belonging to the military. This wonderful feeling made him couldn't help but think about some more things.

"Company commander, the instructor is looking for you" a recruit named Cheng Feng shouted to Yi Chen.

"I know, I'll be there right away." Yi Chen turned off his personal optical computer and prepared to go to the combat training room to meet Huffman.

Just now, he was browsing information on the cosmic holographic network, firstly looking for relevant clues about the solar system, and secondly learning various basic knowledge about this alien world.

The memory of Chen Sheng that Yi Chen inherited was incomplete. Chen Sheng himself doesn't like studying. This resulted in Yi Chen's serious lack of basic common sense in this world. Therefore, during training breaks, Yi Chen worked hard to make up for his shortcomings and at least master the most basic knowledge of history, culture, politics, science and technology, military and other related matters. This will help him better integrate into this alien world.

Damn it! I wonder what shocking things the ancestors of human beings on earth did? There is very little information about them recorded in the cosmic holographic network. So far, there has been no progress. We still only know that the solar system is a prison built by the Federation of Intelligent Life in the Universe - a place where devils are imprisoned!

Privately asking the Panhua people here, they only know that their ancestors' empire was defeated and destroyed, the 'die-hards' (ancestors of the people on earth) were exiled, the 'enlightened ones' were scattered and settled in various countries in the universe, and there was nothing else. Obviously The history of the Panhua tribe is hidden!

But the descendants of the Panhua people here don't seem to want to pursue the truth of history. They accept everything as it is.

Yi Chen despised them a little. Just now, he saw the latest announcement from the Kabasi Empire on the Internet. Because the empire's fiscal deficit is too large, in order to raise military expenses for the army that is fighting the Fuluo Federation, it is targeting the Panhua people in the territory to collect a 'special war tax'.

The Panhua people in the empire silently accepted this typical discriminatory tax, and no one stood up to openly oppose it!
