The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Eh?" Oregana, who was about to turn on the headlights as usual, was stunned. "How did you send it? How did they know our communication code?"

"It uses the communication code used by the Brass Fortress," replied the Final World, "a long time ago."

Oregana blinked, this was unexpected, but still reasonable.She remembered that she had indeed painted the crest of Khorne on the colony ship, and that pattern did not belong to any of the Khorne warbands, and it was different from the regular crest of Khorne.This is a brand new style that she designed after adding her own understanding——

Although there are differences, as long as you have a little understanding, you can immediately react when you see it.

The Mackenzie didn't even know a little about the badge.

But... It is really surprising that the communication method of 400 years ago is still preserved...

"Go on."

It took a little time for adaptation and analysis, and after a few minutes, the screen finally lit up.

There is a white-haired old man on the screen, but his imposing manner and spirit make it difficult for people to connect him with ordinary old people.

Steady, sharp, with the heaviness of the years, like a simple sword.

The last person who gave Oregana this impression was Yamato's captain Okita Shisan, but the last time he saw him, he had lost his sense of sharpness as a commander.Although he was still calm, his atmosphere was already leaning toward kindness, like a kind Santa Claus.

After the League of Nations and Gameiras joined the Consolidation Department and the situation stabilized, Captain Shisan Okita no longer served in the military. After a period of study, he succeeded in realizing his dream—not as a soldier, but as a The posture of a scholar communicates and communicates with the universe—an opportunity.Just a few months ago, Okita Shisan had brought his companions who went on an expedition to Iskandar back then, aboard the Haruna (Fog)-class scientific research ship [Kirishima], and once again boarded the waves of the Milky Way.

The old captain on the opposite side seemed surprised, his eyes stayed on Oregana's forehead for a long time, with an expression on his face [Are all the blood god warriors painted like this now].

emmmmm...Although there are still mostly muscular and muscular men, the brass throne is not judged by appearance, but by strength and achievements.Don't look at us like this, we have done a lot in recent years. (convinced)

"Connected!" His adjutant was a young man who looked a little older than Matt Horner, but he was not as stable as the winner in life.

Just when the two sides were thinking about how to speak, Millis Ent had already rushed to the screen a few steps, and shouted happily:

"Great, Captain Orwell! You're alive!"

"Millisent Rockmar! It really is you! That's great!" The corners of the old man's eyes immediately became moist after seeing Millisent. "I thought you guys were finished!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Millis Ent's expression of joy froze on her face, she was silent for a while, and replied:

"Well, it's almost over... I'll talk about the details later, please hurry up and organize everyone to change ships! Please open the boarding port later, and the personnel transfer ship from Tartarus will go there to pick up people!"

Judging from her expression, it didn't seem like a smooth journey.Millis Ent is as reliable as ever. Although I don't know how she relied on a completely infected ship to contact the person on the other side, but she not only did it, but also negotiated various support matters with the other side.

Millis Ent, who was born in the Rockmar family, joined the army when she became an adult. Although she looks very young, she has abilities that do not match her appearance, and her mission success rate has always been very high.The same is true of the most critical task until this time.

That's right, let's talk about the details later, Struggle's life support system won't last long.Orwell didn't intend to ask clearly at this time. Although he was very curious about how Millis Ent completed the mission, the life and death of the [-] million people on board is more important now:

"Well... good! I'll arrange it right away."

"'Tomorrow's Prosperity', prepare personnel to transfer!"

[Understood, the transfer ship is taking off. 】

The thick and bulging back of the Colonial Ship of the Tomorrow is shining with light, which is the jet light produced when a large number of personnel transfer ships set sail, which makes the Tomorrow's Sheng look like a festive lantern.The fixed locks that fixed the hull in the semi-buried dock were released one by one, the airtight locks in the port were also closed simultaneously, and the propellers made a silent roar.If someone is standing on the armor of the Tomorrow's Sheng at this moment, they will definitely feel the strong vibration coming from under their feet——

Accompanied by the dazzling light and the huge shock, one after another the personnel transfer ships left the surface of the hull, and these ships followed the optimal course programmed by the flight control host around the vicinity of the Tomorrow's Sheng, drawing a beautiful flight track .Mayo Asuka entered a series of commands in the bridge, and a few seconds later, a swarm of spore-class personnel transfer ships soared into the air like a frightened swarm of fireflies, flying towards the dilapidated Endeavor.

The Endeavor also unfolded dozens of armor plates in the port area on the hull, and the navigation lights lit up all the way, like bridges leading to the future.

Chapter 522 Chapter 473: Survival of Civilization

The thick and bulging back of the Colonial Ship of the Tomorrow is shining with light, which is the jet light produced when a large number of personnel transfer ships set sail, which makes the Tomorrow's Sheng look like a festive lantern.A few seconds later, a swarm of spore-class personnel transfer ships soared into the air like a swarm of frightened fireflies, and flew towards the broken-looking Endeavor.

In this emergency situation, the two sides shared the command link to try to realize the transfer of personnel as soon as possible, but the population base is there, and this is not a very easy task.

At the beginning of the design of the Ark, people did not consider such things as changing ships midway. The designer took it for granted——Ark, it would be nice if it could fit all the people in. Anyway, there is plenty of time for you to disembark slowly. .Coupled with the fact that the transportation facilities used when boarding the ship were in disrepair and running slowly, Commander Mayu Asuka estimated that it may take more than eight hours to complete the transportation.

In other words, how long did it take for the solar Ark class to install the billion people?

But those are semi-professional refugees who evacuate every few months, and almost all of them come from nomads. They are completely different from the fixed refugees who have lived on the Ark for decades—— At least the speed and maneuverability of evacuation are completely different.

Woke up by the big broadcast in the middle of the night, opened my eyes and began to put on clothes, and then packed my luggage. After 10 minutes, I carried two large boxes on the truck. After 10 minutes, I was standing in line at the boarding gate of the transfer ship. After [-] hours, I went to the city. More people have been transported into the orbiting solar ark, and the speed is too fast.No one can evacuate faster than humans in the MUV world. They are all trained at high speeds by being chased and bitten... like zebras on the African grasslands. (cover face)

Of course, you can go on the solar ark for three hours, but whether you can find your coffin in the solar ark for three hours... that's another question.

During the waiting time, Oregana decided to take a look on the Endeavor.The commander on the opposite side must not run to the safe Tartarus Ark by himself before the personnel are completely evacuated. This is a matter of principle, but for the convenience of communication and to understand the situation faster, it is better to take a shuttle to go there. It is more convenient on the Struggle.

The other party readily agreed, and marked a boarding port, where the bridge can be quickly reached through the orbital facilities.A few minutes later, Oregana was eye-opening:

"How should I put it...it's really, emmmmm... punk."

"After all, in the last few days, how should I put it...it was very difficult." Millis Ent Rockmar was born on the Ark Indomitable, and it was her first time aboard the Endeavor. It seemed... Endeavor's situation was even worse than that of Indomitable.

When she saw the neat and bright passages in the End World, Millis Ent knew that Oregana might be frightened when she saw the inside of the Ark——

The lighting in the passageway in the port area is obviously insufficient. The gloominess enveloped the decayed bulkhead like a demonstration. The ceiling lights were covered with a layer of dust, and the faint light could only shine not far from the lamps.The creaking sound of twisted metal, the hissing sound of the old exhaust system and the dripping sound of the broken water pipe echoed together, mixed with the footsteps of the speechless people. Suitcases that are also made of composite materials are carried or dragged.

However, when they were walking in the channel of the port area, they looked as if they were trackers on the Volga River... Those who didn't know it thought they were going to use cables to pull the personnel transfer ship.

"That...isn't that exaggerated?"

"Actually, it's just as you can see... In fact, the situation inside is much better than here, really." Lan Mao said with an expression of "you have to believe me", "Because the port area is basically not used, so it is not usually used. People take care of it, but it’s okay if there’s room for repair inside.”

"Really?"

Millis Ent turned her gaze:

"……perhaps."

The ship, which has only been sailing for decades, looks like a hulk that has been floating in the subspace for who knows how many years... It is estimated that if you go inside, it will be a hive city. (cover face)

But Oregana didn't plan to go to the hive capital at this time, she had to go to Captain Orwell.I got on the train that looked much better than the one at the port, and arrived at the bridge surrounded by loud noises.

To be honest, it was a rare experience for me to experience the feeling of traveling on a train that can only be experienced under the steampunk worldview on a starship.

Modifications can be seen everywhere along the road. Maybe it was a complete design at the beginning, but it seemed that the technical aspects were difficult to achieve, so constant compromises were made, and finally this ship with an interior painting style that seemed not quite right was completed.

On this ship, technological loss can be seen by the eye.Even if I don't belong to this civilization, I still feel sad after seeing it.

Fighting on the front line of civilization in the war against the dark worms ended up with this kind of result...

Even if I want to feel emotional, I don't know what to say.The only thing that can be done is to go back and build another batch of Doomsday Dreadnoughts after completing this rescue mission——

If the defeat in the war with the dark worm would end up like this, then the only option left is to expand the army.The swarm fleet came, and there was no choice but to crush them with heavy artillery. They would not negotiate or surrender. They were not so much an army as a natural phenomenon, like marching army ants on the steppe.If you show your cowardice before them, you will be devoured, and if you try to escape, you will never be safe.

The only choice is to crush them head-on with flames when the tide comes. Only in this way can we survive in danger.

This is a war that cannot be lost.But fortunately, the Consolidation Department still has time to prepare, develop its strength, and expand its army.

She is very hopeful of winning this war, and Oregana has never doubted about this matter. (nod)

When he arrived at the bridge, the old man with white beard and hair was already waiting there.

"Hello, our name is Oregana 0032, the highest person in charge of Tartarus."

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Oregana 0032. I am Orwell Glentis, the chief officer of Endeavor."

It seems that the captain of the Ark ship is not just a 'captain', but a position similar to the supreme commander.He is responsible for the entire ship, managing not only navigation, but also internal affairs and a series of tasks.

I'm afraid it's not easy. After all, the number of people is there, and the difficulty of managing an ark ship may be no less than that of governing a country-except that you don't have to deal with those intricate diplomatic relations.

Both parties are understanding people, and they know the priorities of the matter, and both sides unanimously threw emotion, politeness and future arrangements out of the dialogue.Oregana went straight to the point:

"Are there any survivors on those two ships? For example, which compartment did they hide in, and escaped physical and spiritual pollution?"

"No, it's impossible. When the swarm plague appeared on the ship, there must be no survivors. Judging from the situation collected so far, the infection has been lurking on their ship from the very beginning. Indeed, hiding Infection can be isolated in a sealed compartment, but no one can hide in a compartment for decades." The old captain showed a sad expression and shook his head, "Captain Margis and Captain Hippelis are my My friends, they are all good, when the plague was lurking, they were resolute and brave, but after the plague broke out, their ingenuity will only bring death and destruction to those who are still alive."

Oregana nodded silently in her heart, she had already scanned the ark, and thanks to their years of 'isolation' measures, there was no sign of infection on the ark.During the voyage, the long space distance prevented the spread of the dark worm infection, which successfully blocked the plague at the outbreak point.

But the infected ship, there is no way to save it anyway.

Oregana put aside the rising negativity, and she had to focus on those who were still alive:

"Didn't it say there were seven ships?" she asked. "What about the others?"

"The Confidence was sunk in the previous engagement. Captain Valparaiso overloaded the Ark's shields and took the air defenses offline before his consciousness was captured. Maybe he wanted to do more, but the plague didn't give He has more opportunities." Speaking of these old friends and the [-] million people behind them, Orwell's face was as cold as ice, "The Endeavor and the Fortitude have just been sunk. Under our cover, we are fighting hard. , Indomitable and Will have sailed onward."

After realizing that he was infected, he destroyed the defense system of his ship as much as possible while the infection was not fully completed... No wonder the Faith was sunk.If there is no shield and air defense equipment, relying on high-output graviton missiles and conventional nuclear missiles can blow up the weakly structured ark ship.

While expressing admiration for Captain Valparaiso in her heart, Oregana also realized a terrible thing:

"That is to say, you... after using an ark with [-] million people in it?!"

"I also want the people above to evacuate, but the time and conditions do not allow it." Orwell's words revealed a sense of helplessness, "The plague broke out so suddenly that we didn't react at all. They lifted the navigation restrictions, and the whole brain Attacking - they're not trying to kill us, they're trying to turn us... into them."

The artillery and missile bombardment was not aimed at sinking the ark ship, but to smash the shield, and then let the ship carrying the infected body land and spread the infection.

If this powerful reinforcement did not arrive, would he have the courage to overload the power furnace and blow up the entire ship to ashes when his defense collapsed?

Of course there are, because infection and assimilation are more terrifying than death.

Oregana sighed, and she comforted:

"Everything will be fine, we have prepared an ecological planet... Everyone can live the life before, and then take a good rest."

"Before then, we have to get over the difficulties in front of us."

"Well, you're right." Oregana nodded and said, "Is there a way to contact the three ark ships? Tell them not to continue flying, just wait where they are. We brought enough colonial ships over here .”

The conversation was short and clear, revealing sadness and desolation. Oregana was a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere. She used the excuse of wanting to visit the residential area and left the bridge with Liu Lizi accompanied by a staff member. And Millis Ent stayed.

"Millis Ent, this is really... great." Looking at the young man, Orwell showed a loving expression on his face, "If that old fellow Ocasius knew that her granddaughter survived, he would definitely Very happy."

Ocasius Rockmar, the captain of the Indomitable, is considered young in this group of captains, but he is also close to a hundred years old.After learning that the infected people were mixed into the Golden Compass, her old heart almost went on strike on the spot. Although she was rescued later, she was a lot older.The fate of her youngest son almost took away the captain's backbone, but her responsibility has kept her going until now.

"The Indomitable is still alive and well. I'm so... so happy..." Millis Ent said choked up "but everyone else... there was a plague infection on the Golden Compass, and the crew from the Faith had problems, except Other than me..."

"Then what do you do..." Orwell didn't finish asking, clapping his hands suddenly as if remembering something, "Yes, it's the Nector blade! Ocasius must have taken that Nector blade The blade is here for you! The person in that refuge world should still have the technology to extract consciousness from it. Right! It must be like this!"

The beard on the old man's mouth moved slightly, he raised his sleeves, wiped his red eyes, and kept the tears from streaming down:

"Thank you ancestors! Thank you ancestors! Your legacy saved this child, and it saved us!"

As he spoke, he wiped his eyes more frequently, but in the end, tears still flowed down.The gray-haired old man just choked up his sobs at first, but in the end he burst into tears like a child, as if the pressure accumulated over decades had exploded all at once.Tears flowed down the wrinkles of the skin, down the cheeks, and disappeared into the beard around the mouth.

Seeing his appearance, many people in the bridge were moved.Most of the people here were born after setting sail, but they can still understand Captain Orwell's mood at the moment.

He choked and coughed, and it took him a long time to force himself to calm down.
