Returning from the abyss

Chapter 508 Login
The universe is a place where time can pass quickly or very slowly.

Lu Ning rubbed the badge in her hand, she wore a helmet on her head, and everyone in the conference room was in the same state, except for the person called Chief of Staff above.

Oh, and he doesn't actually do any staff work, just one last detail assignment.Most of the initiative in this operation is in the hands of the captains, and the highest order is to act freely, because no one can confirm what happened on the phantom star, and even an order delayed by one second in space may become a stupid order , at least in the Army, it is an iron rule that the commander must accompany the team.

DU-003, this is the code obtained by Lu Ning, the abbreviation of Cosmic Defense, Team No. 24.Sitting here like her are the captains of the other [-] teams, and the same meeting is also being held on the other four battleships farther away.

"After three hours and 15 minutes, the Cosmic Defense will enter the phantom star orbit. Please remember to gather your team members and enter the phantom star within one hour, and bring all your personal configurations. The captain must report to the spaceship every three days. Once a report is sent, we will conduct a synchronous cruise with the phantom star in the distant star orbit, and build a shielding network and rebuild the entanglement satellite base station. In the event of loss of the captain, the duties of the captain will be passed on in the established order. Teams with insufficient numbers can meet with each other for negotiation Merger, in a word, the dominance of all operations on the phantom star is completely in your hands, we just need to understand what happened there." The chief of staff said with a serious face.

And there is no answer below, because it is not needed.

"If there is anything else, arrange it as soon as possible. If you have any special requirements, you can report it. We will satisfy the reasonable part. Now, go back and prepare for the landing, and disband!"

The captains got up one after another, and silently returned to their squad quarters along the passage of the cabin, during which no one spoke.

"team leader."

After Lu Ning came back, Qiu Shu was still the first to get up.Lu Ning nodded to him, glanced at the team members in the room who had already put on their landing suits, and threw a bag on the table.

"The emblem of our team is embedded in the groove of your chest. It is the proof of your identity."

"Oh, this is the identity card of the regular army, it's really great." Spade immediately picked up one, looked at it happily for a long time before carefully inserting it on his chest.

"Landing in three hours, I ask you to bring all your equipment in one and a half hours, and gather under the gangway of the landing craft. Don't miss anything, or you will regret it." Lu Ning left this sentence, turned and went out.

She also needs to prepare her own equipment. The space suit itself is enough to meet most of the needs. What is needed is weapons and instruments. The phantom star is a habitable planet in the evaluation, so the pressure of survival should mainly come from the outside, not Self adaptability.

From the personal terminal on her desk, she can still see the simulated scene. At this time, the side of the spaceship is facing away from the stars, so it is "dark night", and she can only see countless distant and unclear starry sky.

She watched a lot of starry sky at the distribution center, but she couldn't feel any fear, so she came to the terminal and looked at the situation of the galaxy again.The phantom star itself is in a quasi-binary star system, but it occupies a dominant position, but it is not the same as the earth-moon system she knows.In addition to the phantom star that looks a bit blue and green, there is also its auxiliary star "Tianmuyi" not too far away, which is yellowish-brown, but it is also a solid planet.

The phantom star is in the fourth position, and it is quite far away from the blue giant star. It is reasonable to say that there is no life evolution on this planet when the main sequence star is still alive, but no one dares to say that they understand what wonderful things will happen in the universe state of the planet.

The first planet, Ironthorn, is huge. According to calculations, it is even enough to create a total solar eclipse on the phantom star. What is even more surprising is that it is also a solid planet. Unfortunately, due to the observations of the advance team, it has not yet reached every corner of the galaxy. , There is very little information on Star Ironthorn.

The same is true for the second planet, Bailuan Star, and the third planet, Juke Star. Although the size is much smaller, due to the existence of the asteroid belt between the phantom star and the three planets in front, it will take a lot of work to investigate.

Besides the phantom stars, the last two of the galaxies are large gaseous planets, the fifth planet "Giant Eye" and the sixth planet "Green Forest". The alliance also has few means of detection and mining in the star field.

Lu Ning clasped the badge on her chest, checked the personal equipment that had already been packed, took weapons and instruments, and first left for the small ship berthing area.

As she expected, some captains of the other teams have already come here and waited.Most of them stood motionless in front of their ships, while a few were wandering around, and some took off their helmets.

"Hi, number three!"

When Lu Ning walked in, a captain who was swaying at the entrance raised his hand to say hello to her. He had the short hair common to soldiers, and had the DU-004 badge pinned to his chest. His face was similar to many soldiers in Lu Ning's memory All different cheerful smiles.

"My name is Wei Qing, you got the badge in front of me, I remember you!"

When receiving the badge, everyone dressed up in the same way, and it made no difference whether they remembered it or not, and the name was also called through a private channel. It seemed that he didn't understand the confidentiality clause at all.

"We'd better not report each other's names. A code name is enough for this operation." Lu Ning's voice was severely distorted through the helmet and electronic synthesis, but she was not afraid of being recognized.

"Everyone is comrade-in-arms, so why be on guard? Even up to now, only three people have answered my greeting." Wei Qing said a little depressed, "I know the secrecy regulations, but we don't have any enemies now."

"Then let's set the enemy as the planet in front of us. After all, we probably lost a lot of compatriots there." After Lu Ning finished speaking, she went straight to her ship.

No enemies?Not to mention what kind of people the tourists who entered this time are, she hasn't figured it out yet, even if it's the characters in the scene, she can tell that there must be some extremely dangerous guys in the captain and vice-captain by contacting her own identity .What happened on that planet is almost unknown to the outside world, and there is a lot of room for playing tricks.

She can even guarantee that if someone really finds traces of other advanced civilizations on the planet, the five destroyers cruising in the distant star orbit will immediately fire the main guns to smash the phantom star directly, and then create A supernova explosion covered up all traces, and fled back to the astronomical system as quickly as possible.

Human beings are like a curious child who dares to reach out and touch something beyond the unknown, but once the thing responds slightly, he will withdraw his hand in horror.

As the scheduled time approached, more and more people had already assembled, and Lu Ning's team members had already assembled and were ready to board the ship at any time.At this moment, she heard Wei Qing's voice again.

"No. [-], why did you lead the team here? Gathering should also be a necessary part of testing the quality of team members."

At this time, all the captains cast their gazes at the same time.

Soldiers are more or less proud. Although the distribution of number plates seems to be random, since one person is asked to go up to get them, it means that there is a certain order.

So, why is this person number one?
No one would be really annoyed by this kind of thing, but many people would secretly compete.

"I don't think I need to do that kind of testing on the players."

Captain No. [-]'s answer to Wei Qing was very gentle, at least you could hear it.

"Since I am taking them to the phantom star, I must also be responsible for everyone's safety. I have to make sure that everyone is correct. Oh, I don't mean to blame you, I just don't think there is much training for soldiers at this time significance."

"Haha, I've been taught." Wei Qing stepped aside and let Captain No. [-] walk towards his landing craft.

"Get on board." Lu Ning turned her head and gave the order.

"Captain, what Captain No. [-] just said..." Qiu Shu asked in a low voice beside him.

"You don't need to worry about it. I can also say that I let you come here because I believe in your quality. Anyone can say good things. If you don't have the ability, you will still die." Lu Ning walked up the gangway.

Apart from their own equipment, knowledge and experience, the biggest thing each team can rely on is this landing craft.As a small spacecraft capable of short-distance interstellar travel, Lu Ning knows that it can even fly from the phantom star to the wooden shell star in front if it has sufficient energy, provided it can survive the asteroid belt.In addition, the various large-scale analytical instruments on the landing craft cannot be carried by individual soldiers.

The former army captain was naturally familiar with the control module of the standard landing craft of the Canglong Alliance. After everyone was seated, she turned on the system, and the engine, hedge, and electromagnetic protection were all preheated and entered the standby state.

Time passed quietly, and the wait was finally broken by an order, which could also be the last.

"DU reconnaissance team, serial landing."

Lu Ning turned on the thrusters to recharge, and the floor under the ships in the mooring area opened, and the landing ships slid to the guidance tunnel below. The number three was a very early number. After Lu Ning fell, he could only see it from the screen. To the faintly flickering blue light on the tail of the No. [-] landing ship - very far away, and then disappeared.

That was the result of entering a vacuum tunnel and closing the automatic doors.Lu Ning immediately activated all the standby systems. The people inside the spaceship only felt their bodies leaning back slightly, but the spaceship had already passed through a long distance in the guidance tunnel in an instant, and the front door suddenly opened. After a moment, it quickly closed again, and the internal extraction machine quickly evacuated the area again, and then within five seconds, the boat also passed through this vacuum tunnel to the end, the second door opened, and there was a vast expanse of space in front of it. On the blue-green planet under the clouds, Lu Ning calmly increased the propulsion power to a high level, switched to manual control, and chose a direction for the landing craft to fly straight away.There is no doubt that the previous two ships did the same, otherwise they would not see the shadow of their ships.

The protective cover is working normally, greatly mitigating the damage to the ship when passing through the thick atmosphere, the hedging system is perfect for shock absorption, and Lu Ning's skillful control method also makes the landing craft have no circuit calculation problems that may occur in automatic driving. After about 30 seconds , the thruster was adjusted back to the mid-range by her, and the layer of cloud that blurred the entire planet was also penetrated, and everyone could see the blue ocean and green continent from the screen. This is a standard livable environment, as long as If the composition in the air is right, this place is completely suitable for human survival.

"Immediately enter the low-altitude cruise, conduct area assessment, risk assessment, and conduct ground scans for the 28 outpost models used by the advance team, looking for matching traces." Lu Ning began to report the current actions to the team members in the ship.

From here, it starts to be different.

If it was before, what she would do would be to conduct a ground scan of the main active force and the city model, and then estimate whether to use aerial destruction or ground penetration, in short, an assessment for the purpose of annihilation.But now... it has become a search and rescue.

The low-altitude cruising hull itself slows down, and ordinary physical fitness can adapt, so most of the spaceflight functions have also been turned off.At this time, the team members also began to work on their consoles.Lu Ning is responsible for controlling the route and planning the main path, and the following delicate work is naturally done by the team members.

About three and ten minutes later, Spider Silk sent a report: "A camouflaged ground project was discovered in area 10. The information comparison shows that it has a 334.782% similarity with the standard outpost template No. 13. The relevant data has been transmitted."

As soon as the words fell, a set of images appeared in front of Lu Ning. A series of images and comparisons were quickly generated, such as surface shooting, detail zoom-in, and template design drawings of the NO.13 outpost. In fact, this step was only in the black of the spacecraft There are only records left in the box, and this similarity is enough to issue a landing order.

"The spaceship prepares for a vertical landing."

The location of this outpost is in a mountain with sparse woodland. Normal aircraft may not even find a landing point here, but the landing craft can directly burn an open space at high temperature by adjusting the direction of the jet.

"Captain, the regional hazard assessment is C, warning level." Qiu Shu reminded, "Vertical landing means that we must rely on propulsion to take off instead of orbital takeoff when taking off, which will greatly increase the danger. With the risk factors off, we're afraid there will be no way back."

Lu Ning glanced at him.

"I am the Army."

The navy always considers a lot of things when assessing danger, but isn't it necessary to force a landing on such a strange terrain?At least Lu Ning even remembered that the captain had done such a thing as a mass parachuting air attack by throwing off the aircraft. Although she didn't experience it personally, the scene of rushing towards the aircraft with a parachute to hit the flames of the explosion was still vivid in her memory.

"Yes, you are the captain. Everyone! Prepare to land!"

The blue flames ejected from the thrusters completed the landing buffer, and at the same time involved everything below into high temperature.The ground had even been burnt to a point of crystallization. When the speed was already below the dangerous value, the propellers turned off, and a large amount of rapid cooling liquid sprayed out from the bottom of the spaceship. The landing gear stretched out and stably pierced into the soil surface.

"The air composition has been analyzed, and no harmful substances have been found. However, according to the Interstellar Operations Regulations, keep the spaceflight attire." The bayonet standing in front of the cabin door issued a report, "The scout bayonet is ready, and the distance to the target is estimated to be one kilometer."

"Open the hatch." Lu Ning hit the open button.
