Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Looking at Zhao Zijie who looked as usual in front of him, Chief Qi nodded slightly and squeezed out a dull "hmm" sound from his nasal cavity.

"Hello, Sir Qi!"

Gao Yang hurriedly packed up the last bits of groceries and trotted to Zhao Zijie's side, saying hello to Chief Qi: "Chief Qi, why are you here?"

"What? You don't welcome me?" Perhaps he was in a good mood. A somewhat ferocious smile appeared on Commander Qi's face, "Then I will let another team do this task?"

"Mission?!" Gao Yang was stunned, quickly closed his mouth and stood up straight.

"Report, sir! Intern Captain Gao Yang is willing to accept all tasks assigned by the organization!"

The corner of Zhao Zijie's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just straightened his stance silently and looked at Commander Qi in front of him expectantly.

"Internship Captain Zhao Zijie!" Commander Qi looked solemn and shouted loudly.

"arrive!"

Without any hesitation, Zhao Zijie's sonorous voice rang out.

"Internship Captain Zhao Zijie, you will follow Bai Yixuan's team to Mars to take charge of the Mars City construction task!" Commander Qi said seriously, "You have one day to prepare, and you will arrive at the meeting point on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Chief Qi's words, Zhao Zijie's heartbeat instantly accelerated a bit.

Here comes the mission!

He quickly stood up straight, stretched out his hand and gave a standard military salute.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"Sir Qi??? What about me?!" Gao Yang stared blankly at Zhao Zijie and Chief Qi in front of him, and said without tears, "You won't let me stay alone in the dormitory, right?"

Chief Qi glanced at the grimacing Gao Yang, with a "ferocious" smile on his face again. He reached out and patted Gao Yang on the shoulder: "You are here too, but you are Zhao Zijie's deputy."

…

Thinking of being able to touch the real Luanniao starship the next day, the two recruits were so excited that they didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, the two of them waited on the tarmac with panda eyes.

They need to take Xuannv 2 to Jianmu Spaceport.

As for why not take the space elevator...

At this time, in order to speed up the transportation efficiency of the space elevator, the acceleration is completely beyond what humans can bear, unless they enter the hibernation cabin and use the help of deep-sea liquid.

But this is obviously a bit too wasteful.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the scheduled gathering time came.

Zhao Zijie turned his head and glanced around.

In addition to them, about fifty trainee captains were selected.

Like the two of them, these more than fifty trainee captains also had pairs of panda eyes. Apparently, they were too excited to sleep all night.

A sound of footsteps came from behind.

Zhao Zijie's eyes moved slightly and he quickly turned around.

"White team..."

Looking at the tall man walking at the front, he murmured to himself.

Seemingly seeing Zhao Zijie, Bai Yixuan, who was walking in front of everyone, was stunned, then smiled and waved to Zhao Zijie.

"Zhao Zijie, we meet again!"

Gao Yang, who was standing next to Zhao Zijie, looked at his "familiar" roommate in bewilderment: "???"

"What the hell? Zijie, do you know Team White?"

Zhao Zijie nodded slightly and moved his lips slightly: "We met during the entrance exam."

…

[Jianmu] Outside the spaceport.

Ten Luanniao starships loaded with supplies were arranged in a herringbone formation.

The first one is naturally the Luanniao starship piloted by Bai Yixuan's team.

Unlike the other nine Luan Birds, the Luan Bird starship driven by Bai Yixuan's team has undergone zero modifications and is equipped with complete quantum ultra-distance communication equipment.

To put it simply, the main task of this starship is to maintain communications between the entire fleet and Mars City.

Zhao Zijie, who was sitting in the captain's seat, looked at the scenery outside the porthole with fascination.

"This is the universe..."

he muttered.

The next moment, Bai Yixuan's voice came from the radio, interrupting his thoughts.

"Attention everyone, the fleet is about to enter the [Forward Four] state."

"Go into deep sea mode now, repeat, go into deep sea mode now!"

As the radio sounded, the holographic image on the console also turned a warning yellow.

[Warning: The starship will enter the [Forward Four] state in ten minutes. Crews are requested to enter the deep sea state immediately! 】

Zhao Zijie looked a little more serious, quickly stood up from his seat, and followed the other pilots to the end wall of the cockpit.

Six streamlined deep-sea cabins are embedded inside the wall.

Although the structure is similar to the hibernation cabin, as the driver's second seat, it has many additional functions based on the hibernation cabin.

First of all, this deep-sea cabin allows personnel to start in a non-hibernating state.

In addition, the deep-sea cabin has one most important function.

Human-computer interaction.

By reading the driver's brain waves when he is awake, the driver can maintain control of the starship at all times. This is the most unique function of the deep-sea cabin.

"Face recognition completed, hello, trainee captain Zhao Zijie."

As a mechanical electronic sound sounded, the deep-sea hatch in the center of the wall quietly opened.

Zhao Zijie took a deep breath and stepped into it.

The hatch closed, and a harmless disinfectant was sprayed on the surface of his tight-fitting space suit.

Then, he reached out and picked up something similar to a breathing mask and covered his face with it.

A tingling sensation came from the nasal cavity.

That was the nanorobots constructing the lung duct.

Although the human body can breathe deep-sea fluid autonomously when awake, it is still necessary to construct the lung duct in order to reduce the body's rejection reaction to the inhaled fluid.

A few minutes later, a holographic image appeared on the inner wall of the hatch in front of him.

[The lung duct is constructed]

[Brain wave reading...]

As this line of text appeared, a "helmet" slowly fell from the top of the deep-sea cabin and was worn on Zhao Zijie's head.

[Brain wave reading is successful, and deep-sea fluid is now injected]

The text on the holographic image changed again.

A hint of coolness came from the soles of the feet and the lungs at the same time.

According to past experience, Zhao Zijie held his breath at this moment.

As for the reason...

Although the deep-sea fluid can be breathed, when it is mixed with air and then inhaled into the lungs... He learned his lesson completely after trying it once.

He waited until the deep-sea fluid completely covered his head before he took a deep breath.

He did not feel anything unusual.

[All crew members have been detected to have entered deep-sea mode]

[Luanniao Type I, forward four]

As the characters in the holographic image changed, a strong and extremely blue light blasted out from the tails of the ten Luanniao starships!

Target: Mars!
