[HOPE, Human-Outer-Planet-Exploration--- human exploration of extraplanets. This frozen world is supposed to be the repair site for humanity's ships traveling further into the outer solar system, but can we really find any fragments of HOPE here? ---- in the center of the largest Valhalla impact crater on Jupiter's fourth moon Callisto, the leader of a six-person exploration team was manipulating his exploration robot forward, while silently reciting in his heart the words that his nervous boss had been muttering before departure.

But on this lonely, cold planet millions of kilometers from Jupiter, no one answered him, just as he couldn't answer his nervous boss.

After trying to get some of the funny thoughts out of his head, the Federation's exploration captain forced himself to focus on what was in front of him and his companions around him, and he gently opened the communication channel:

"We're very close to the anomaly we want to explore, so let's zoom in and look carefully."

"Yes, Colonel, we have 4 hours left in our oxygen reserves, which should be enough." In front of the robot in front of the explorer captain Sawyer, another machine of the same model waved its mechanical arm, and the driver's voice was heard.

"Good, everything went according to plan."

"But, Colonel, what exactly are we looking for here?" In the machine in front of Sawyer's right, the voice of his long-time deputy reached his ears.

"Speak human words, Nicky."

"If we're looking for the remains of the miners in Callisto, there's none in the Valhalla impact crater, and we're not academics, so protecting the explorers is what we need to do."

"We're not here to find the wreckage of the hapless ghosts who disappeared after the Empire appeared, no one expects you and me to become scholars, we're just here to bring back any information we can find, well, Nicky," Sawyer felt a little more relaxed as he listened to his subordinates' familiar and funny complaints, "Now shut up and save oxygen and find it for me." ”

"Yes, yes, my good colonel, but what are you looking for, ha, is it looking for some fucking stele engraved with prophecy? Ha... ”

"Rest assured, Nicky, this is not science fiction, and besides, you will never find the goods of the prophecy, if the future of the world is revealed in your hands, the world will definitely be doomed."

"It really breaks my heart...

Just as the deputy's joke came back, Colonel Sawyer suddenly felt a shock from his buttocks down his spine to his head, with a chill, Sawyer saw the pendant of his wife and children hanging in the cockpit and shook it gently--- he obviously opened the anchor bolt and entered the scanning mode:

"You guys just felt that..."

"What?"

"Nothing, keep going." Shaking his head vigorously, leaving the hallucinatory vibration behind him, Sawa was about to put away the fixing bolt and move forward, when an even bigger shock swept in, causing the entire cockpit to shake.

"Oh oh !!"

"Damn it!"

"Hell!"

"Colonel !!"

"Calm down, spread out, and be ready to split up and retreat to the escape return capsule!" Listening to the chaos of his subordinates, Sawyer shouted loudly while manipulating the exploration plane to be ready to retreat at any time--- this is their mission, no matter what, they must transmit some information back.

"It's not going to be the fucking explosion of hydrogen and oxygen caused by the electrolysis of some kind of ice, is it going to be the professors?"

"I fucking knew you didn't listen well in the second half of the class, that big bang was caused by an external impact, are you that stupid?!" Sawyer shouted to his subordinates as he retreated in the direction he came.

After the six men had retreated for some distance, the shaking suddenly stopped, and several of them stopped again, looking in horror at the direction they had come from and the direction they should have entered:

"Colonel, what should I do?"

"Nicky, follow me, the others go back to the ship to send a message, and the reading of this shock is also a discovery."

The next moment Colonel Sawyer gave the order, a shockwave that was even more violent than the one just now erupted from the ground of the lifeless impact crater again.

“EVAC!!!” Without hesitation, Sawyer gave the order to evacuate separately, and the six machines split into three directions and quickly retreated towards the incoming exploration ship, "Follow me, Nicky!! ”

The two exploration droids sped with their jets wide open, and the icy earth shook behind them, roaring and cracking.

"Follow me, Nicky!! It's not a bad movie, you won't fall, and I'm not going to go back to save you!! ”

"I know, my good colonel, I... Damn it!!! ”

"Nicky !!"

Using the rear camera, Colonel Sawyer, who found his old comrades and subordinates swallowed up by cracks and crumbling rubble, shouted in grief, but still held the joystick and accelerated desperately in the direction of the exploration ship, but the next moment, the vibration stopped abruptly. Colonel Sawyer's hand trembled like a twitch---- do you want to go back and see your old comrades and good friends, the shaking has stopped, maybe he can still be saved, but...

It was dangerous to stop, but the shaking stopped, and his comrades might still --- in such thoughts, and I didn't know that his speed slowed down, although it didn't stop completely, but gradually slowed down...

The earth shook again, and massive shards of ice, iron, and rock slammed Sawyer's explorer into the abyss where his friend had fallen.

In the field of view of the nearly unconscious colonel of the Confederade, an exploratory plane that had been smashed almost embedded in a rock wall, a huge ship was flying into the air.

[The soldier is derelict in his duty, I'm sorry, general... The last thought in his mind swept through his mind, and the colonel of the Federation Army fell into darkness, not seeing that the spaceship that had devoured the entire exploration team opened a small opening in its abdomen, and did not see that a humanoid figure that could not wear any equipment at all was slowly lowered in his direction in the blue light of the superconducting force field.

[Is this the ancestor, it's really fun, so a little temptation can make them do that? In the superconducting force field, under the conditions that it is impossible for humans to survive, a humanoid body slowly descends and transmits such an idea.

【Your Royal Highness Princess, you still have a lot to learn】In the spaceship, the same quantum information was passed on.

By the way, the subject who was being sucked back into the ship suddenly blinked at the silver eyes.

[Your Highness, please speak]

[Can you eat these?] 】

[Your Highness, please don't deliberately express the vices of your father's clan]

[Stingy, obviously His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Commander don't mind]

[Speaking of His Royal Highness, we must report as soon as possible, the imperial military orders must be carried out without mistakes, we must report to him as soon as possible, Her Royal Highness the princess also has his own mission]

The next moment, in the fortress of the Empire, Gulen. Gast opened his eyes from his false sleep, stretched his waist, and turned back and said:

"I just got confirmed, our fifth battle lord, Her Royal Highness the princess is coming, and she also killed a few by the way... What are you doing... ”

In Gulen. In Gast's field of vision, Alice, the central computer of the empire that appeared in the room using stereoscopic projection, was "floating" in the air, facing a virtual light screen, and she didn't know what she was busy talking about, but it probably looked like she was in...

"Sweater...

"Who can wear a sweater like this!! Besides, I don't need a sweater!! The whole empire doesn't need sweaters, right!! What weird documentation have you been reading again?! ”

“。。。 Practice, sweater practice, you won't let me finish speaking, who is to blame," Alice pouted, "I've also received a request from [Brunhilde] to re-enter the Imperial Sequence, Silvereye and the Rotten Derive's baby half-blood princess is back, to be honest, you woke her up unexpectedly." ”

"I'm not sure about my friends for so many years, it's not better to have more family chips." Gulen. Gast smiled.

At the same time, the last moment obsession of the Federation soldiers who had dissipated their lives on Callisto, the young general of Titans--- was looking at the person sitting in front of him--- his hair was black and shiny, his skin was full of healthy color, and his eyes winked at him looked very bright, but the expression on this person's face suddenly knocked the word "handsome" away.

Looking at the expression on Arlando's face as if he was suppressing a magma eruption, Qi Tengyi sighed softly:

"Your wounds are well healed, the artificial skin, the control mechanism of the nanobots that suppressed the violence in your body are also working properly, and the injections that have been detected are also working properly, and you can go at any time."

"My mission is only in Lund. Mina. Under the cover of Sahak and the recovery house, under the escort of the Federation's most elite special intelligence forces, go down to meet a person to retrieve something, right? ”

"Yes, take your things and leave, it's better to be a tourist."

"If what the other party said is true, then the technology I got can solve my current devastated body and reshape me stronger, right?"

"That's right."

"Since it's a simple good thing, why is your spiritual world anxious at this time?" Arlando. Bakina asked, staring at Qi Teng.

"The process is not complicated, and the result will not be bad, but that does not include what you may be exposed to, it must be painful to contact the truth, are you ready to endure that kind of suffering?"

"How do you know I'll find the truth?"

"I don't know, I just feel this way," Qi Tengyi shook his head and stood up, "Take a rest again, [wind] [fire] [water] [earth] will set off with you in 20 hours." ”

After saying that, as soon as Qi Teng left the room, leaving Allando to sit there alone--- his hand kept drawing circles in his heart, and the Möbius-shaped ring that had witnessed his union with Haman in Gibraltar was now lodged near the flesh of his heart, and he kept drawing circles with his fingertips so gently, feeling the thoughts coming from above, and sat down and fell asleep.
