Returning from the abyss

Chapter 507 Opening

Battleship Cosmic Defense, the transition is complete.

Lu Ning also opened his eyes.

"To hell with not being together..."

This time there were no secrets and no requirement to conceal their identities, and everyone used their real names.However, Lu Ning has already begun to act according to the identity of the "captain" she used.

She skillfully undid the safety buckle on the seat, got up and turned off the anti-acceleration device in the room, her body sank slightly, and her feet felt much more solid when stepping on the ground.

He is wearing a thick but not bloated space suit, which can be used not only in the cabin, but also directly enters the planet whose living environment assessment is above medium without any problem.She went to her personal terminal and opened it, and sent a wake-up report to her superiors.The moment the report was issued, the mission of the distribution center appeared on the terminal.

[Visitor Lu Ning:
This mission is "Phantom Star Syndrome". All missions will be distributed in phases. Only when the previous mission is completed, the next mission will appear.Please make sure to complete all main quests to return to the hub.

Mission One: Lead your team to restore an outpost to operation.

Please confirm your own memory for the specific situation of the scene.The task information released by the distribution center can only be viewed by the individual on his own terminal, so do not lose it.

I wish you a pleasant journey! 】

"Humph."

Lu Ning knocked off the screen of the terminal, turned around and walked to her bed and sat down.Although her body is wrapped in a space suit, she can still feel the strength, sharpness and some old injuries of her body.

【You are a soldier. You were born in a military family since you were a child, and you have never had a second wish. After you became an adult, you enlisted into the army and became a soldier as you wished.

Today, the battle between the universes has become more and more complicated. The mother star has become a death star due to a missed bombardment by the Black Hawk Alliance 120 years ago. root" connection.Canglong, Red Lion, Black Eagle... Large and small "countries" established among the stars began to conquer each other and plunder resources.And the largest of them were already seeking a way out for themselves when the war broke out.

The universe has never been lonely, and everyone agrees with this point. When the first discovery of prokaryotic cells in aliens was announced among various alliances, people knew that there may be more life in the more distant starry sky, and there may be more life in the distant starry sky. It may be a stronger and more unreasonable life.For this reason, those "countries" that have the ability to extend their hands to the sky system must be cautious, and this has become the only common understanding between these "countries" that have long hated each other.

You belong to the Canglong Alliance, the captain of No. [-], the former ground assault force of the [-]th Division, and the rank of captain.

After being warned many times in the psychological assessment, and several times that you could be sent to a military court, but finally calmed down due to various factors, you were told that you were no longer suitable for that battlefield, that battlefield where you thought you were going to die. place there.

The Canglong NO.17 astronomical observatory discovered a suspected resource galaxy at a distance of 44 light-years from the astronomical disk system.The project was established as early as 30 years ago, when a group of advance troops were secretly dispatched to investigate the galaxy. The information returned by the entanglement satellite showed that there were habitable planets in the galaxy, but no civilization.The advance team built hundreds of outposts on the only habitable planet, and kept exploring and developing slowly in a cautious state.However, the return information was suddenly interrupted shortly after, and the entanglement satellite was also declared damaged shortly thereafter.The fact is, someone had to be sent again to see what happened. 】

"It's also impossible." Lu Ning gently rubbed the center of her brows.

【What we see now is only the light from there 44 years ago. For us, the advance team has not even reached there.Observations take so long, we have to understand what's going on there - whatever it is. 】

This is the command.

Soldiers obey orders.

But what happened next made Lu Ning feel a little interesting.She had to admit that it was reasonable for a problematic person like herself to be dispatched, but the composition of the 25 reconnaissance teams on each of the five battleships dispatched this time was formed in another way.

The chief and deputy captains are soldiers. Although he didn't say it clearly, Lu Ning deduced that those people probably had some problems based on his own situation.The source summary of the remaining eight members can be said to be criminals.

These criminals are not the kind of people who have been sentenced to death, but some prisoners who are difficult to sentence or difficult to deal with in public opinion.The most straightforward example is the murder of a prisoner who surrendered after killing his father and enemy-the Canglong Alliance should naturally be sentenced to death according to the law, but there is still room for change in the situation.So just in time for this mission, a provisional law was implemented to select suitable prisoners to join the reconnaissance team to "make meritorious service".

Lu Ning—whether it's the original one or the current one, she is not afraid of these subordinates acting as monsters. After all, no one can compare to the captain of the ground commando from this battlefield in terms of ferocity.But the truth is better than this. After all, the alliance has carefully screened them. Even from her military perspective, the quality of these people can be called excellent.

A team consists of ten people.

The principal and deputy captains are all regular soldiers, while the remaining eight are similar candidates collected from various places by the alliance.And it is not very difficult to form such 120 five teams based on the hugeness of Canglong's joint name.

Lu Ning walked along the corridor to the team lounge.

Being alone in a room is the treatment only the captain and vice-captain can enjoy, and the team members will not arrange such good conditions, not to mention that they are all guilty.For Lu Ning, except for the information of the vice-captain, she has the files of the eight team members in her hands, and as the captain, she also has the power to execute these people unconditionally.

The cabin door opened, Lu Ning walked in and glanced, and found that the deputy captain had arrived here one step ahead of herself.

"Good morning, Captain."

The deputy captain was a male soldier, no different from the alliance soldiers Lu Ning had seen in his memory.His name is Qiu Shu, and he originally belonged to the navy. This sea is the sea of ​​stars.

"Good morning."

It was indeed morning. After the last leap, everyone could already see the light of the star in the center of the galaxy not far away through the porthole, just like the sunrise, without even turning on the lights in the room.

Lu Ning glanced at the rest of the team members. This room was slightly larger than hers, but it was pitifully small for eight people.Because sleeping and other things are all sealed capsules, there is no need to distinguish between men and women, but the eight people here are quite comfortable.

Two scouts, one assault soldier, one blaster, two technicians and two medical soldiers, this is the rough classification of positions.Of course, this does not mean that these people can only do their jobs.

"Queue."

The eight team members immediately came to the center of the room and stood in two rows.

For Lu Ning, she is still in the process of getting acquainted, but it is not very difficult to remember.These people all use code names, and the official explanation is that "in case" they have the opportunity to make meritorious service and go back, only the code names will be recorded in this mission file instead of their original names, which is easy to deal with.Lu Ning does know the real names of these people, but the code names are indeed more convenient.

She read it from front to back.

Bayonet, scout, female.He shot and killed the enemy who forced his parents to death with a self-made silencer gun, and all the twenty bullets he had prepared went into the enemy's head. After that, he quietly waited for the police to arrive, and he was arrested without a fight, and confessed to the whole process.

Bug bait, medic, male.When he was studying at a medical college of the Canglong League, he encountered campus violence, but in the third year of enrollment, he used homemade poison to kill [-] classmates who were violent to him.Good behavior in the prison was reduced and qualified for this trip.

Spider silk, medic, female.One of the chief surgeons in the former hospital made a major mistake in a certain operation and caused the death of the patient.However, there were many doubts about the operation, and Spider Silk could only be imprisoned temporarily. After hearing about this opportunity, she directly signed up without hesitation.

Yanghao, technician, male.He used to be a professor of biology, history, archaeology and other departments, but was later exposed to serious academic fraud, which aroused widespread public condemnation.Yang Hao was also sentenced to 60 years in prison for this, and he participated in this operation obviously because he did not want to waste so long in prison.

Spades, Scout, M.He has many experiences as a digger, star thief, bounty hunter, mercenary, etc. He surrendered himself about a year ago. Although he has a good attitude, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the accumulated crimes.It is also one of the active applicants for this action.

Clarinet, Stormtrooper, female.A former ex-soldier, but soon disappeared after retiring. Three years later, he was captured as a prisoner in an asteroid melee, and was found to have serious psychological evaluation errors.This member should be suffering from severe war mania and needs to be alert for symptoms at all times.

Longmai, technician, male.Underground scientists in many alliances are proficient in machinery, electronics, aerospace, and even many cutting-edge technologies.However, crimes involving the embezzlement of formal research funds, hiring star thieves to rob scientific research materials, etc., were not involved in murders, and they were also eligible to participate in the selection.

Iron Eyebrow, Demoman, male.This is a person who was obviously pushed to take the blame, but the evidence has shown that he was indeed a direct participant in a certain murder, which is undeniable.The alliance is trying to secretly continue to deal with this incident by luring the snake out of the hole, but there is indeed no more information to dig out from Tiemei, and he cannot be released. The only place that suits him best is here.

Above, in order of height, Lu Ning glanced at the identities of these players at the same time in his mind.

"Qiu Shu, how many days are there before arriving at the phantom star?"

"The sub-light speed engine has been activated, and we will be able to enter the phantom star orbit in a day and a half at most, and then make an orbital landing." Qiu Shu replied quickly, "I think you should be very familiar with this, Captain."

The navy is responsible for the orbital bombing, and the army that Lu Ning is in is the main force that directly lands on the planet to wipe out the living forces.

"I know. Return to the team."

"Yes!" Qiu Shu stood at attention, and then ran into the team, every move of a professional soldier was obviously quite professional.

However, Lu Ning doesn't think that this kind of ten-man squad operation still needs to be completely militarized, which is wasteful.

"You should understand the mission this time, do you have any questions?" Lu Ning looked at the rest of the people.

Standing in the back row, the tall and thin Longmai raised his hand.

"Say."

"Captain, I have seen observation maps when I was in the alliance, but they are not the same as the galaxies we see now."

"En." Lu Ning nodded, "After all, what the alliance observed was what it looked like 44 years ago, so it will naturally be different."

"But……"

"I know what you are talking about." Lu Ning looked through the porthole. The window has a light filtering system, and she is not worried about being hurt by some cosmic rays. "What you are seeing is a planet with ten planets. There are many asteroid belts, and the central star is about a galaxy of class B. However, what is unfolding before us is a galaxy with only six planets, the central star has become a blue giant star, and the state of the galaxy has undergone a huge change, isn't it? "

"Yes." Longmai nodded, "If a star really changed from a main sequence star to a blue giant star, then the demise of our previous team should also be caused by this change..."

"Wrong." Lu Ning interrupted him, "It's normal for you not to know the inside story. In fact, when our first dispatch team arrived, the central star of this galaxy had become a blue giant star. It was observed 30 years ago 74 years ago the light was emitted here, and our dispatch team arrived here about 11 years ago, 63 years of time change has occurred in between. Some intelligence sent back by the dispatch team through the entanglement satellite has proved this At this point, the blue giant star is not the reason why they lost contact, and the phantom star where they reside still remains."

"That's even more wrong, Captain." Longmai frowned, "Such a huge change in the galaxy should have had a huge impact on the ecosystems of all planets. Leaving aside dead planets, if because of this change happens to produce a planet suitable for life The birth of the planet and the change of the ecosystem should not be completed in just 60 years, do you know how long it took the ancestors of humans to climb from the ocean to the land?"

"My grades in culture are not too bad, Longmai." Lu Ning still maintained a cold face, "Your question is on point, and this is one of the issues we need to pay attention to in this mission. Natural evolution It is impossible to complete the evolution of a planet within 60 years, but it is not necessarily impossible to do it unnaturally. I remember that the Alliance Laboratory has developed a reagent that can promote the growth of plants at a high speed. A flower can experience a lifetime in half a day .”

"You mean..."

"I didn't make any judgments, I just told you not to be negligent. We can only control one flower now, and if the 'opponent' really exists, it can easily give birth to a civilization."
