Chapter 495: Nodding or Shaking Heads (Second Shift)

When the federal military is exploring the star field, the focus is to explore the planet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

They can grab the energy and resources needed by the entire federation from the planet.

And the most exciting thing is that you can find a living planet.

In the same way, the universe is full of crises and risks, and no one knows whether there will be any interstellar monsters lurking there in the unknown star field, and whether there will be any incredible phenomena on the planets that have never been set foot on.

But in general, star exploration will follow the basic principle of being close to the nearest planet to the star, and generally do not explore it.

The high temperature of the stars, the planets that are too close to the stars, are probably the two heavens of ice and fire constantly changing repeatedly, all vaporizing during the day, and condensing into ice at night.

In general, such planets contain a lot of iron inside. Although iron resources are important, the iron resources of the planets that the Federation has successfully explored are enough to meet the industrial production of the entire Federation, and naturally there is no need for these dangerous planets to add icing on the cake.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

What Huo You heard was an unusual situation - the Federation Legion ventured to send a division of equipped mechs on a planet that had recently been explored, intending to dig up some iron resources there.

The military is not really going to take risks in this regard, and this time it is doing so because military spending has been cut.

The military is now working on a new type of space mech, and if the government doesn't allocate funds, their funding will be broken.

Negotiations with the government have always been stalemate, and although the military has made such a move out of helplessness, it also inevitably has elements of wanting to be tempted and angry.

But it was such a simple attempt, and something went wrong.

A division of equipped mechs, from reconnaissance, equipment, logistics, firepower, and other positions, a total of five thousand people arrived on the planet. In order to avoid direct exposure to high temperatures, they can only work on the shaded side.

After previous exploration and analysis, it was concluded that the planet closest to the star has a rotation period of about 80 days, nearly three months, which is enough for them to dig up the corresponding iron resources and then return to the war-ready starship.

However, three days after the arrival of these 5,000 people, they have never been in contact with the battle-ready starship, and even after entering the surface of the planet, all communication devices have lost their effectiveness.

Now the military is considering whether to send another division to see what happened.

Before dawn today, Hangchuan received a communication request from the propeller.

He avoided Huo You and walked to the position at the staircase to connect so as not to disturb Huo You's morning sleep.

Propeller told him with a serious face: "Now the military authorities have reached a stalemate on this issue, and one side says that there has been no news of the arrival of 5,000 men, which is enough to show that something has happened there that we cannot cope." Sending another 5,000 people at this time would undoubtedly be a vain sacrifice. They advise to give up decisively. ”

Hang Chuan entered the military at the age of fifteen, and he had seen too much about the life and death of soldiers, so he didn't have much feeling. He nodded and asked, "What about the other side?"

Of course, the other side felt that he couldn't give up like this, after all, it was 5,000 people, not 5 people. ”

Propeller sighed: "Moreover, to send them to this planet, it is just to be sent to the position where the sunny side turns to the shady side, if they are still alive, while they stay in place, we still have more than seventy days to rescue them." And if we give up...... What a desperate thing for them. ”

After a pause, the propeller said, "If they turn to the sunny side and face the stars, the maximum temperature can reach a high temperature of 500 °C." At that time, no matter how good their protective facilities are, such a high temperature ......"

Hang Chuan nodded in understanding.

Such a high temperature is enough to make people vaporize.

Hang Chuan looked at the propeller: "So, the reason why you are looking for me is that the military has issued a mission to the special ability group?"

"Not really. Propeller said: "This time the matter is not within the control of the military, if you really want to save it, it must be an S-level dangerous mission, and the military is not generous enough to let the genetic people take this risk." ”

Propeller paused and said, "I'm looking for you only because the military is now asking for everyone's opinion." The 168 division commanders of the legion in the relevant star fields all expressed their positions, half of them were in favor of the rescue, and half were in favor of giving up. ”

"So, it's 84 to 84 now?" Hang Chuan raised his eyebrows: "I need to ask for a vote from the special ability group to determine whether to save or not?"

"That's right. ”

The propeller sighed again: "This kind of thing...... How can we make the final crucial choice!"

"You're the leader, you say. Hangchuan Road.

The propeller was silent for a moment, and said softly: "The key is that now one cannon, three oils, four rusts, five monsters, a thousand wings, and copper rivets, all six of them have made a choice...... 3 to 3, you're missing. ”

Hang Chuan was also silent when he heard this.

"So...... To save or not to save, it's up to you. ”

Hang Chuan was silent.

"The military is waiting for my final reply. ”

"What reply?"

Huo You was wearing Hang Chuan's long shirt and stood at the corner of the staircase. Looking at her face, she had obviously been listening for a while.

Propeller greeted her and teased, "Sister You is wearing the clothes of our second boat." ”

Huo You raised his eyebrows: "I pulled it and put it on." ”

"Well, it looks like you had a great night...... It's really abusing a single aristocrat like me. The propeller covered his eyes, Huo You smiled, and said, "I heard half of it, and said about the S-class mission." What's going on?"

Hang Chuan reached out and pulled her to his side, wrapped one hand around her, and whispered a retelling of the news that the propeller had brought to him.

Huo You's expression was complicated: "So...... Now Hang Chuan has become the most critical person?"

"Hmm. Propeller said: "It's really difficult to hold this matter, and the military has come up with such a voting rule...... It can't be helped. ”

Huo You thought for a while and said, "No one has sent back communications from the planet, haven't you sent an unmanned communication mecha to take a look?"

"Sent, like the people of that division, there is no news. ”

"That's weird. Huo You wondered: "Before these five thousand people went to this planet, you only analyzed the data of the planet, and didn't send an unmanned communication mecha to see it?"

"It was also sent, but the unmanned communication mecha sent a message back before, and everything on the surface is normal. If this were not the case, the military probably would not have issued a decision to send a division of men to dig iron ore. ”

Huo You touched his chin.

Normal before, abnormal after...... It must have been something that happened when these 5,000 people were on their way to this planet, and all the communications were cut off.

If the communication is interrupted due to a change in the magnetic field, then there is a high probability that the person is still alive - this suspicion is well-founded, after all, the planet is a planet with a lot of iron ore, and it is very reasonable for the magnetic field to be disturbed.

But if it weren't for the magnetic field...... There are too many other considerations.

Huo You looked at Hang Chuan: "What do you think?"

What can Hang Chuan think?

If he nodded and voted in favor of the rescue, and sent a division of equipped mechs to the planet again, if he didn't rescue the people but took another 5,000 people, then his sin would be great.

But if he didn't nod, if the original 5,000 people were still alive, they would only have to wait for death on that planet.

Even if they keep themselves in the shade and not be burned by the stars, there will always be a day when they run out of food.

This nod or shake the head, it's too difficult.
