Chapter 121: Precious Samples
The time of the smooth rendezvous between the Wind Bride and the advance ship was much earlier than the time expected by the advance ship command. www.biquge.info Therefore, taking advantage of the last period of the advance ship's stay on the seventh exploration point, the crews who were busy for the upcoming coordinated space coordinate jump of the two ships were also able to take into account all aspects that needed attention, and then made the preliminary preparations to the point of perfection.
On board the Wind Bride, the sick crew members who were in urgent need of medical treatment and nutrition, as well as other crew members who were not well suited to continue living in such a hostile environment as the Wind Bride, moved to the advance ship on the day of the reunion between the two ships.
The vast majority of the remaining healthy crew members will continue to live on the Wind Bride until the Human Interstellar Alliance arrives on Planet 6 and gives them legal residency on the Hope.
Originally, in the process of building the advance ship, it was already envisaged that it might be able to accept human compatriots from other spaceships after sailing in the future, and in order to maximize the use of space on the ship, the third layer of the outermost and sub-outer layers of the hull, like the Wind Bride, was divided into floors.
In the middle of all floors is the crew assembly hall and dining room. Above the middle floor, there are various departments and facilities, such as the medical area and fitness area, which are open to all crew members, a confidential floor such as the USR, which cannot be accessed without ID permission, and a dormitory floor where all crew members live.
Below the assembly hall, completely isolated from the outer layer of the hull, the dormitory floor, which can accommodate more than 300 people, is the living area assigned to the crew of the Wind Bride. Residents can enjoy the same basic benefits as the crew of the Nozomi, such as medical care and accommodation. It's just that the ship's military facilities and secrecy agencies have nothing to do with them at all.
In the next few months, the newly boarded residents who have not been registered by the Human Interstellar Alliance with fingerprints, retina, and IDs that do not have one-to-one binding IDs can be 100% sure that they will not be able to enter any other areas of the ship other than the dormitory floors assigned to them, and will not cause any disruption to the daily work and life of all the original crew members on the advance ship.
At the same time, after taking into account the convenience of the operators entering and exiting the hull, the space requirements of the spacecraft in the face of uncertain insects and other factors, the advance ship and the Wind Bride, according to the comprehensive consideration and evaluation conducted by the command, each took the small hatch on the hull shell that was most suitable for connection, and carried out an internal communication connection through a hollow channel like an airplane for refueling in the air.
Through this connection, the advance ship and the Wind Bride became a whole to a certain extent, like twin towers connected by a high-altitude bridge. In this way, whether the crew of the Wind Bride needs to go to the advance ship for medical treatment, or the crew of the advance ship needs to go to the Wind Bride to collect "rags" and then turn them into treasures for recycling, the mutual benefit between the two ships will become much more convenient and faster.
On the last day of the 10-day stay at the seventh exploration point, the metal grippers that could be retracted into the outermost layer of the ship like an airplane landing gear were stretched out, and the two spaceships of the opposing side were firmly grasped, ready to jump in space coordinates as soon as the scheduled time arrived. It's a pity that the adventitious insects that were suddenly detected by the advance ship rushed towards them in pairs at this time, and dragged them back with a crazy attack that was expected to unfold.
"Did it come? I knew it. "In the headquarters of the advance ship, it is completely possible to immediately give the order to jump, leave here a little earlier than the scheduled time, and then avoid the battle in front of him, and finally choose to stay and meet the battle, because, among these adventitious insects that are rapidly approaching them, there is a humanoid adventitious insect with a human appearance.
In the process of Li Xiangnan's class taking the wind to contact the Wind Bride, Yayan, who learned through real-time contact that they had encountered an adventitious insect on the way, knew that they were likely to encounter other adventitious insects in the next few days at the seventh detection point. After all, adventitious insects do not usually move alone, but will always wander around in groups.
Therefore, Yayan, who had already anticipated the battle in front of him a long time ago, had really made up his mind, as long as the conditions permitted, then he would use the method of spatial coordinate jumping to avoid this unnecessary battle.
It's just that at this moment, in the face of the joint request sent by Exogenous R&D, knowing how valuable such a humanoid sample is, and the battle in front of him, according to the previous combat experience, it is not very difficult, so he finally chose to change his mind.
As a result, many operators, including Heian and Aoba, who were originally riding mechs and preparing to deal with sudden special situations that may occur at the eighth detection point after completing the coordinate jump, left the ship one after another.
The mecha piloted is far behind the Bumblebee, and it is impossible for Tang Mo and the others, who have become the qualified pilots of the inventory reserve Hornet on the advance ship in just a few days, because their own mecha cannot install a projectile body acceleration device, and even if they get a real body penetrating bullet that is modified according to the caliber of their weapon, it is impossible to shoot a bullet that is enough to penetrate the alien cells of the adventitious insect, so in this battle, they also have no way to kill the adventitious insect.
Therefore, the operators of the Wind Bride, who flew out of the spacecraft with several Hornets, were tasked with guarding the two spacecraft, of course, mainly the Wind Bride.
According to the experience of the human interstellar alliance in fighting adventitious insects in the past few hundred years, it can be seen that adventitious insects that do not have advanced intelligence, in most cases, as long as they detect the special magnetic field emitted by the conversion matter in the process of power generation, then they will gather together like locusts, swarm in swarms, and rely on the advantage of the group to attack.
However, this time, the adventitious insects, which have never formulated any strategies and tactics in advance in the history of mankind, have taken completely different actions because the group that attacked them had a relationship with a humanoid adventitious insect as a commander.
