"Keep up, Kevin." Zhou opened the door for Kaos, nodded at him, and walked towards the academy with the tablet.

Is this nickname necessary? "Kaos" doesn't have a few letters in any language, right?

Kaos jumped out of the car and looked at the Mass Effect Speeder that had left on its own, before trotting after last week.

He can adapt to the current high-tech daily life and environment, but he has always been suspicious of this "Mass Effect" technology and its raw material "Element Zero", which has been extended to all aspects of human society, because they are not developed by humans themselves.

According to Kaos's recent pastime history books, when humans first entered the universe, the technology used was still the traditional means of fuel propulsion.

On July 20, 2069, the centenary of the human landing on the moon, a real lunar settlement was established.

It wasn't until 2103 that the Martian settlement and research station were completed.

Next, in 2137, humans extracted "helium-3" from Saturn's atmosphere, an elemental isotope capable of controlled nuclear fusion, which solved the energy problem, and then reached the orbit of the original Pluto, and began to build the first real bridgehead "Gagarin space station" there.

And just as humanity began to consider which nearby galaxy to head, the discovery of the Martian research station made their previous efforts useless.

Yes, it is "Element Zero" and "Mass Effect".

On Mars, the discovery of this kind of material that "changes the mass of the surrounding matter when electrified" is also related to a large number of advanced technologies, which has led to the rapid development of human science.

One of the most important is the activation and use of the "mass repeater" technology, after activating the hidden mass repeater near Pluto's moon Charon and entering the "zero mass jump channel", the entire fleet instantly arrived at the Arcturus galaxy 36 light-years away, and the mass repeater located in Arcturus maintains communication with other nearby different galaxies, and a door to the endless starry sky is completely opened.

Although the Gagarin space station is about to be abandoned before it is put into service, it is a little sad.

In view of this "sudden broadening of horizons", the countries of the earth finally gave up their small disputes, and the heads of 18 superpowers jointly drafted and announced the "Charter of the Galactic Alliance", and the Galaxy Alliance (SystemsAlliance) as a military barrier and explorer of human outer space was officially established.

As for its logo...... Kaos glanced up at the building of the Naval Academy.

The logo is a silver-gray hue in color, with the main body being a pair of abstract hands with fingertips touching each other, and under the "hands" are protected by three five-pointed stars in an equilateral triangle.

The meaning of this logo was not explained in detail when it was announced, but if you think about it, no matter how you interpret it, some people will not be satisfied, so it will be blurred.

"Welcome, Lieutenant Chou. There was a slight pause as Zhou led Kaos into the Naval Academy, and then a thin blue light "swept" them from head to toe, and then only the two soldiers in Starlink uniforms at the gate saluted him, except for the electronic synthesizer who welcomed him.

However, Kaos could detect that since they got out of the car, they had gone through at least four scans and identity verification, and the inspection of entering the door was the least important one, and if they were stopped here, it was probably because they had brought something troublesome.

"Although the Colonel has been temporarily appointed as the Governor of the Colonial Star, he will not leave until the end of the 'Celebration of the First Batch of Students' that was supposed to take place," Zhou explained to Kaos beside him as he walked forward. ”

Indeed, this first batch of graduates of the Naval Academy, because they have basically never been on the battlefield, the top brass of the army can only have a preliminary impression of their skills through grades and evaluations, and most of them will wait until the military department for distribution, but Lechtm directly picks people...... You can't pick me?

However, no matter how smart he is, he is just a child who has not been deeply involved in the world, how can he understand these twists and turns?

Kaos let out a "hmm" and continued to turn his head to look left and right.

The main colors of the Starlink Naval Academy are silver, black, and blue, which looks a little depressing, and in the course of the development of aerospace for more than a hundred years, there have been corresponding countermeasures for how to neutralize this color combination that will produce a sense of oppression, so this is still the appearance here Most likely to test the students, after all, the Starlink battleship will not be allowed to paint casually.

Cadets and instructors, as well as related people and spectators like Zhou, came and went, but most of them wore a kind of tight-fitting garment.

It's incredible, but it's actually a "combat spacesuit", the kind that allows you to run to outer space with a helmet onβ€”and of course, the pre-human technology from the ruins of Mars.

Before the official entry into the space age, there were many science fiction works depicting the scene of Space Marines charging and killing enemies with a pair of power armor in their hands, carrying large guns, but after the advent of "Mass Effect" technology, the design concept of medieval heavy cavalry was thrown directly into the garbage heap - if someone really wore that kind of strange thing, most of them would be directly pierced by the ultra-high-velocity projectiles emitted from the Mass Effect firearms.

You know, not to mention its practicality, in the case that the mass can be changed, the projectile with almost zero mass will be accelerated to an incredible extent, how can the power armor that eats solely on the thickness of the armor resist?

Oh, Kaos looked at the corner of the academy at a few huge mechs, at least for engineering convenience.

The only way to combat the Mass Effect Gun is the "Mass Effect Shield", which is an eggshell-shaped "shield" that completely protects the user, and can only cause actual damage to the user after the attack consumes the "shield" and recharges it - in this case, it is basically a matter of one shot.

Therefore, don't look at the people coming and going in the academy now, it seems that there is no protection, but if someone picks up a machine gun and fires, most of them will shoot a lot of "eggshells".

No, how is that possible, this is the territory of the Star Alliance Navy, who dares to make trouble?
