"Captain...land appears 15 nautical miles ahead. Since the land is in the direction of our ship, we need to send people to the island to explore and look for possible lost parts."

There was a hint of excitement in Nebeybiwo's tone, and the lazy dog ​​seemed to cheer up again.

Bai Miao looked at Emma and Irina who were on duty today: "Is there anything special about sending people to the island to explore?"

Irina yawned: "This is not what the operation management department does."

Emma added: "But you can still choose any crew member on the Endless Energy and form a team to go ashore to explore. All you have to do is lead the team to explore the island."

I want to go ashore?

"Stop the ship first and take cover. Then take a look at the development of that land. Can you analyze it?"

Bai Miao fully learned the lesson from the last time and decided not to let the Endless Energy get close.

There are small lifeboats on the ship, and the exploration team can go ashore through the lifeboats.

There seemed to be a voice in Bai Miao's heart reminding him that there was a high possibility of missing accessories on the land ahead.

Emma got through to Gong Ni, the Minister of Research and Development: "The captain asked to analyze the development of civilization on the land ahead."

"Received, immediately dispatched an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to collect information."

About an hour later, Gong Ni replied.

"The preliminary judgment is that the development level is a level 4 kingdom. The area is good at machinery and steam technology, and there are kings and religions. The land area is 1827 square kilometers and the population is about 120 million. The map outline has been scanned and sent to the mailbox."

so big?

Bai Miao asked again: "If there are drones for reconnaissance, why do we need the crew to go ashore to explore? Can't we just send a few more drones?"

Emma sighed and shook her head: "Your memory is indeed not much different from that of green algae. The images returned by the drone can only be used as a reference. We have no way to judge whether it is true or false, so you need to go ashore in person."

Gong Ni scratched his hair: "Captain, in the development level 4 area, we don't know what unknown technology the other party has in hand. We should try to avoid conflicts after landing and try to resolve them in a peaceful way.

"Of course, if you are sure that the other party's technological level is not as good as ours, then just grab it!"

What kind of spirit are Americans...

Bai Miao cursed, but he also agreed with this point of view.

The thing originally belonged to the Infinite Energy, but now that the owner has found it, let's talk politely if we can. If we can't reach an agreement, let's just rely on our abilities.

But are you, the head of R&D, so unsure of the technology on your ship?

Bai Miao thought that the Infinite Energy could walk sideways on the sea.

"Didn't you just say that the other party is good at steam machinery technology? This level of technology shouldn't threaten our Endless Energy, right?"

Gong Ni explained seriously: "Captain, you can't think like this. What the Endless Energy is better at is actually razing the entire island to the ground or sinking the entire island into the sea. But now the other party may have control over what we lost." accessories, we naturally cannot do this at the risk of damaging the accessories.

"That's why we need to send a small team to negotiate. This involves the issue of the number of weapons that a single soldier can carry. We only have more than 5000 people on the entire ship. Even if we kill them one by one, it will take a long time to kill 120 million people. In the process, there may be There will be losses of personnel. What is that saying? Knowing ourselves and the enemy will lead to victory in any battle. We will not break up with them until we know the details of the other party."

Irina stood beside her and said, "Captain, go up and capture the opponent's king directly and force them to hand over their accessories. This is the fastest way."

Emma nodded: "After this, we may change the captain."

"Don't think the situation is so bad. This kind of thing has happened before. Although we didn't find the accessories, we gained a lot of new crew members."

Bai Miao once again doubted what the Endless Energy was for.

How come it's like a colonial ship that either kills or captures slaves when passing by a land, right?

If you do this, it will easily arouse hatred from others, okay?

A peaceful solution is naturally the best outcome.

"What equipment will be issued to the landing team?"

This makes Bai Miao very excited. When the time comes, he will put it in his backpack and take it back to the country for batch copying. How many levels will this technology tree go up?

“It will be equipped with a set of exoskeleton armor and life support devices, as well as matching long and short range weapons.

"The exoskeleton armor has functions such as optical stealth and night vision, and it also retains communication devices. However, it is not recommended to maintain communication status. It is best not to contact the Endless Energy until critical times."

As he spoke, a series of three-dimensional pictures of exoskeleton armor appeared on the projection in front of Bai Miao.

It's a bit like stuffing all the people into a black human-shaped iron shell. The external life support device is carried behind the back. It looks like a black bulge with several hoses extending from it, which are inserted into the face, back, and Legs, hands, chest, etc.

Melee weapons are also divided into daggers, scythes, and scimitars. The entire blade exudes a strange red halo. The relevant information explains that there are high-energy particle vibrations on the blade, which can cut iron like clay.

The long-range weapon has a caliber exceeding 20mm and is named Holheim. It has a 15-round ammunition load and 5 spare magazines.

In short, the ammunition capacity of long-range weapons is not high. On the one hand, it encourages melee combat, and on the other hand, it wants to actively recover accessories through peaceful means.

In Emma's words, with a development level of 4, a kingdom that may have accessories in its hands can, to a certain extent, have the capital to talk to the Endless Energy.

"Captain, please choose your crew based on your intuition. You can choose 9 crew members to accompany you ashore. Just choose the one you like most."

All chapters 1 have been selected

The process of selecting crew members was quite random. The personnel of each department were listed separately. The projection in front of Bai Miao scrolled quickly and displayed the appearance, name, age of all the crew members in the department. What Bai Miao had to do was It's like playing a slot machine, tapping the table when you feel it's appropriate.

This will select a person.

The number of people selected for each department is completely determined by Bai Miao. Except for the R&D department, which has at least one person for equipment maintenance, the other departments can have as many people as they want.

It can even be configured with one person in the R&D department and eight people in the security department.

However, Bai Miao finally made a balance, with one person in the R&D department, operation management department, and power department, and two people in each of the other three departments.

"Inform them, let them get ready and assemble in the hangar."

The weather is good today. Standing on the deck, you can feel the moist sea breeze gently brushing your cheeks.

The hangar is located below the deck. After everyone arrives, the deck slowly opens upward, revealing the vast space below.

It contains a series of equipment such as drones, unmanned boats, and deep submersibles, each of which can cause technological mutations when brought to the real world.

Bai Miao tried to put these things into his backpack as props. The entire Endless Energy must be considered an Aleph-level prop, right?

But no matter how he touched it, Bai Miao could not know the information about all the items on the Endless Energy.

Under the watch of the ministers and Emma, ​​Bai Miao led a group of people into the equipment room in the hangar, where they could receive the equipment needed for this trip.

The process of putting on the equipment is very simple. You only need to stand on the platform and open your hands, and a mechanical arm will equip all the exoskeleton armor.

The helmet of the exoskeleton armor is sealed, but you won't feel any discomfort under the life support device. The helmet's field of view also has a 360-degree projection directly in front of you, so there is no need to worry about the problem of field of vision.

Not only that, with the help of the armor, every step is very easy, as if the armor has completely become a part of the body, able to sense the user's thoughts and cooperate with the user to complete any action.

Bai Miao wanted to test the limits of the armor, so he directly used the joint twisting skill.

Even with the arm twisted into a twist, the armor's toughness was not affected at all, but was twisted and restored as Bai Miao's arm twisted.

This technology is truly amazing.

Bai Miao felt that the armor used some kind of nanotechnology and could change its shape at will.

"Zizi... Captain, can you hear me?"

Emma's voice came from inside the helmet, and an avatar with white hair and red eyes appeared in the upper right corner of his gaze.

"You can hear me, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about your IQ and memory, which are not much different from those of green algae. I need to remind you once again that after this trip, the decision-making power of the team is in your hands. Do not interact with the Endless Energy unless it is absolutely necessary. Make a connection.”

"I know."

Emma's profile picture gradually disappeared, and Weiner's face appeared again.

"Captain, be careful on the road."

Bai Miao was a little touched that a minister would remind him to pay attention to safety.

"I have two crew members following you, don't lose them."

"...?"

Okay, in the eyes of the minister, the captain is not as good as the crew.

"Are you guys ready?"

Bai Miao looked at the nine carefully selected crew members. He always felt that a few of them were door-knockers.

In other words, if some of the door-knockers had not died, would the nine door-knockers I randomly selected just be the remaining 9 door-knockers?

Although the technology of this copy was very advanced, its operating mode was quite metaphysical, which Bai Miao had to think so.

"Ready, Captain."

The other nine members sounded a little nervous. Although they all knew the content of the mission in advance, they still felt uncomfortable when meeting the captain.

Bai Miao looked around and found no one particularly strange.

"action."

A group of people filed in and sailed towards the landing in a small boat.

On the boat, the four people chatted privately on the Knocker Network through masks.

"It's really weird. Didn't you say that the captain chose randomly? How come he chose all four of us alive?"

"You are the only one in the R&D department. How did the captain choose you? This is outrageous!"

"Master of ink painting, please analyze it. What should we pay attention to during this trip?"

Wang Xiang looked at his three remaining teammates and a captain who didn't know the details at all, and felt tired.

"Everyone, calm down. First of all, this is definitely not a coincidence, but the captain must not have judged the person who knocked on the door. Otherwise, it is impossible for all of us to survive that night. Since we have been selected, we can complete the task with peace of mind.

"We are looking for accessories. The purpose of this trip is the same as ours. There is nothing to dislike. First observe the captain's attitude. If he is willing to communicate with us crew members, it is good to work together, but if he wants to think alone, then Listen to him first, if he is too extreme and will cause the group to be destroyed, the four of us will pool our fire to kill the captain and replace him."

Wang Xiang was also a little confused by this inexplicable copy.

It’s not like you, a crew member like you, can get by just by following the captain and hanging out, right?

The most important thing on the ship is the crew.

Then why should we arrange ten people? Why not just have the captain alone.

Bai Miao was on the boat, looking at the nine people he had selected. He suddenly looked at one person and asked, "Introduce yourselves. I don't even know who you are. Let's start with you!"

The crew member pointed out by Bai Miao trembled and replied hesitantly: "My name is Kallias. I work in the power department. I, that's all I know."

"The sound is so low, I haven't eaten... It seems I haven't eaten... Anyway, speak louder! The natives on the land will see us and think we are refugees!"

"Yes! My name is Kallias! I work in the Power Department!"

Bai Miao nodded with satisfaction and looked at the next person.

After all the crew members reported their names, Bai Miao said impassionedly: "You are all my carefully selected backbone elites! Representing the image of our entire Endless Energy, everyone knows the mission of this trip very clearly! Yes! It is of great significance to us. Everyone has the opportunity to leave their name in the history of the ship! The mission is full of uncertainty, so we must unite. I am not omnipotent. Do you have any suggestions? I feel that I have not thought of them. Bring it up proactively!

"Although you no longer have the memory of before boarding the ship, your thinking patterns and instincts are still there! These are intangible wealth. I believe that you can successfully complete this mission!"

Chapter 1 Giant Steam Engine

"In reality, this captain is just a small boss of a company. Is he so proficient in using CPU?"

On the Knocker network, several people were more or less relieved after hearing Bai Miao's speech.

I'm afraid of encountering the kind of captain who is bitter and hateful and wants to use every crew member as a tool.

Fortunately, the captain seemed easy to talk to.

At least he said he was willing to listen to opinions, but it doesn't matter whether he actually listened or not.

It is not easy to have this attitude.

"Master ink painting, can you give me some advice? You are the smartest among us. Although I have a PhD in engineering, I really can't figure out these twists and turns."

Wang Xiang replied: "There is no information yet. I don't even know the degree of development on this land. I can only wait and see step by step after landing."

A few minutes later, Bai Miao and others saw the coastline of this new continent and a creation that shocked them.

[Visual distance]

It was a giant steam engine with a height of 1352 meters and a width of 321 meters. With the operation of this machine, Bai Miao could hear the engine sound like a heartbeat from a distance of nearly [-] meters.

"Click...click...click...dong dong dong..."

Wisps of white steam were continuously spit out, forming huge clouds over the land.

One piece after another, complex gears are precisely assembled and rotate according to a specific rhythm, continuously supplying the power provided by the steam engine to the town below.
