Chapter 785 Brigade
Pluto.
The first impression of this planet, which was expelled by the earth civilization, is darkness, like an eye that is always closed.
At this distance, the sun's light is already very weak, and even the "Prometheus" energy network has given up coverage because it is too remote, causing the place to almost maintain its original barrenness.
For a long time, this place only existed as a dangerous weapon testing ground for the cloud scientific research institute.
It wasn't until people on earth with a strong desire for exploration and thirst for knowledge gradually developed the entire solar system that occasionally unmanned scientific research ships or tourist ships came to see the former "Ninth Planet".
In order to facilitate the docking of supplies, a small airport for both military and civilian purposes was built on the orbit of Pluto.
Of course, most of the time, this mysterious asteroid known as the "New Bermuda Triangle" is not open to the outside world.
After all, the huge electromagnetic pulses and high-energy fields that erupt from time to time greatly affect the safety of navigation...
Pluto: "..." (╥﹏╥)
At this moment, a small cargo ship covered with wind and dust, with a Q version of a little blue ghost carved on its body, is slowly approaching the airport.
This small cargo ship is 200 meters long, flat overall, and has no obvious bridge. The model is the "Light Feather" class small unmanned cargo ship launched by the Atlantis Shipyard last year, but the spaceship has a The location has obvious traces of modification, and there are already many differences from the original version.
"Spaceship No. CN86776778, belonging to the 'Ghost Brigade', code-named 'Scud', accepting the supply mission of B468, coming to deliver rare metals and energy supplies, requesting permission to dock at the airport!"
"Drip! Identity confirmation, mission confirmation, docking allowed!"
As the spaceship slowly approached the pier, the operators of the spaceship couldn't help cheering.
"finally reached!"
"Fortunately, there is automatic driving that can hang up for a long time, otherwise I don't know how to survive."
"Everyone has worked hard, after submitting this mission, our mission points will be enough to upgrade the 'Ghost Brigade' to a C-level adventure group!
Go offline and go to the Crescent Bar for a drink together, my treat! "
"Yes yes!"
"Ha ha!"
There is no so-called "bridge" in the traditional sense in this unmanned spacecraft. All the control centers are integrated on a small chip, which can save a lot of space.
However, the control signal of the spacecraft comes from a "bridge" that is completely in the virtual world.
The operator can enter the "bridge" in the virtual world from hundreds of millions of miles away to control the entire spaceship, which is quite convenient.
All "virtual bridges" are basically the same. It does not have a console in the traditional sense, but only a huge display screen and the corresponding crew control positions, which are completely controlled by consciousness.
At this moment, there are only four controllers in the "virtual bridge" of this spaceship, and they are Chris, Alice and the fat and thin duo!
The Ghost Brigade started out as a freight forwarder, and because it seized the first wave of development opportunities, it is now quite well-known in the mercenary world, ranking among the best among private mercenary groups.
Not long ago, they also used the commission they earned during this period to refit a new type of cargo ship. After some modification by the fat and thin duo, the speed of the spaceship has been greatly improved, and it can be called a scud among cargo ships.
The lead in equipment has given the Ghost Brigade more opportunities, one of which is to deliver supplies to the Pluto test base.
This kind of long-distance, time-consuming, and small-volume mission is suitable for the "Scud" type of spacecraft.
Moreover, they also took several geological exploration and sample collection tasks by the way, and they also gained a lot of money from the trip.
"As usual, the fat man and Ribs are in charge of handing over the goods, and I'm in charge of purchasing supplies. After the handover of this task is completed, we will start to prepare for the battle with all our strength to prepare for the invasion of aliens."
"Hey hey hey! I can't wait for a long time, Chris, you have to get me a top-quality mech this time." The fat man laughed.
"Don't worry, everyone is responsible for the survival of civilization! All the funds of the brigade will be directed towards weapons and equipment. By the way, Alice, is there any new situation on your side?" Chris said and looked at Alice.
At this time, Alice has become an adult, gradually faded away from her astringency, and looks shrewd and capable. The only thing that remains unchanged is her pair of blue eyes, which are still clear and bright.
"Hmm! Now that the news that aliens are about to invade the solar system has been confirmed, everyone, including civil groups, is actively preparing for the war.
According to the UN's "Emergency War Act No. 1004 Document", all countries and regions of the earth's civilization have entered the "war control" state, and all resources have begun to tilt towards war. The Earth Defense Force is responsible for resource allocation and overall command.
I just logged on to the official website of the Earth Defense Force and checked it. A new mission for all citizens has just been released on it. The reward is very high, but it basically depends on luck to complete it. "
"Oh? What mission?"
Alice immediately shared the task of "searching for the enemy" to the group.
"Hey! 20 unlimited coins? This reward is quite attractive, but this kind of task is really purely based on character.
The detection radius of 3 kilometers seems to be very wide, but compared with the search range, it is completely insignificant. "
"Even so, almost all the teams that can meet the requirements have been dispatched. After all, we are the first to find the enemy's invasion direction, which is of great significance to our war preparations.
Even though it may be a waste of time and money, there are still a lot of passionate mercenaries who accept the task.
It's just that I heard that the production capacity of "Wormhole Detector" is limited, and even if the production is expedited, the supply is in short supply, and those who receive the task are still queuing up. "
"Don't you think this is an opportunity?" Alice said.
"Our current location is right on the outskirts of the solar system. It can be said to be close to the water. Besides, there is a military port next to it. It is very convenient to get the 'Wormhole Detector'. There are few people here, so there will be no one to grab equipment from us, right?"
"Well! It makes sense. Even if there is little hope of finding that hidden wormhole, at least we have contributed to the civilization of the earth."
"Hey! It's not necessarily hopeful." The fat man pushed his glasses.
"How to say?" Everyone looked at the fat man.
"I have a college classmate, and his recent postdoctoral project is following his supervisor to study the connection between the formation of wormholes and cosmic tides.
The area where the wormhole is formed is generally the place where the cosmic tides meet violently, which can be understood as an unstable point in space.
As long as we find such an area, we can also follow the vines and find the wormhole!
So as long as we can collect relevant astronomical data along the way and send it back to the other party's team for research and analysis, it may increase the chances of success in finding wormholes. "
"Unfinished academic research? Is it reliable?"
"It's better than looking for it blindly, right?"
"It's worth a try..." Chris thought for a while and quickly made a decision.
"Ribs, hurry up and unload, discard all unnecessary loads, and then I will give the spaceship the ultimate supply and replace the reconnaissance module.
Alice, accept the task immediately and apply for a 'Wormhole Detector' from the airport!
Fat Lord, contact your classmates immediately, we can provide their scientific research team with astronomical data along the way for free, and if we can really complete the task, there will be a 10% commission. "
"Okay!" "Got it!" "Leave it to me!"
