Chapter 0196: The Vast Starry Sky

Here, after Anne walked out of the spatial portal, she found that this place was actually in a void?

The place she was in, up and down, left and right, front and back, there was nothing at all!

She is actually in the vacuum universe?

Looking at the past, except for a few huge earthy yellow, brown, and green planets in the near future, there are only those countless stars and strange-shaped nebulae that shine with all kinds of light in the distance?

And little Anne is in a very powerful magical protective shield at the moment, which she put on herself as soon as she found out that something was wrong, in addition to being filled with magical elements to keep her under pressure, it also isolates the harmful rays around her and the damage of the vacuum to her body.

Even if she herself is already a powerful demigod, she will feel very uncomfortable if she directly puts herself in a vacuum and the harmful rays of the universe without any protection.

Therefore, little Anne is now staring at the square space gem in her hand with unkind eyes.

This must be a bad thing!

She felt that this bastard space gem had really become more and more arrogant recently, and she was getting more and more involved with her!

The first few times were okay, she ran to three Earths and one planet Azeroth, and it didn't have much impact on her basic survival.

But now?

You see, now it has actually put itself into this void of the universe all at once?

If it weren't for the fact that he was a powerful enough demigod mage, I'm afraid that if it were someone else, he would have been killed by it a long time ago, right?

Here, where is it?

Little Anne turned her head to look at the space up and down, left and right, okay...... In fact, she found that now here, there is no difference between up and down, left and right?

Even if she was in the magic shield, she was in a state of weightlessness, and she couldn't feel the effect of gravity when she was standing on the earth, and this feeling made her feel very new for a while.

So, she began to spin herself slowly within the shield, and her eyes widened as she looked at the strange planets around her, and their beautiful rings.

(My little master, don't play yet, go find a safe place first?) If you stay here like this any longer, there will be big problems after a long time! - Finally, seeing that little Anne was playing on her own without heart and lungs, Tibbs couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly reminded him. )

In Tibbs's opinion, in this vacuum of space, not only is there no food and air, but there are also a large number of deadly rays, if it weren't for its Anne master is strong enough, if there is a different person, then he can still live?

In this vacuum cosmic environment, Tibbs, as a shadow creature, must be fearless. But its little master, Anne, she can't!

Although in a short period of time, there is no big problem, but once the time is long, plus, this magic shield will continue to consume her own magic power, and after there is no oxygen to breathe, maintaining the energy supply of the body also needs to consume her own magic power, even if her magic power is strong, if it goes on for a long time, something really big will happen!

"Huh? That's right! You'll see for me! Want me to admit it? There are no doors! ”

Little Anne cursed hatefully and took the broken stone back directly into the space pocket.

Tibbs ...... Where do we go now? Don't...... Do you want to go on a planet at random?

After holding her own bear, Anne looked around, those huge planets, and soon, she picked one of them, that planet, it looks quite beautiful, although, the distance seems to be a little far, but, if she casts a spell to teleport a few times over a long distance, it is estimated that she can also arrive, right?

(None of those planets are suitable for life, and it's useless to go!) Let's go over there and take a look at the wreckage of the battleship floating there! - Seeing that little Anne was planning to go to those planets, Tiebs hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

In its opinion, none of those planets are living planets at all, so what's the use of looking beautiful? What is the difference between going to those places and staying in a vacuum? Why don't you go to the wreckage of the battleship directly over there, and maybe find any clues, or know a nearby place to live? )

Hey? Battleship?!

After Tibbs's reminder, little Anne finally took her eyes back from those beautiful planets, and then she also found the wreckage of the battleship on the other side, in the dim cosmic space, with a hideous hole, floating quietly and slowly moving along a certain track.

"It's really a starship...... Tibbs, let's go now, or it will drift away! ”

Battleships or something, it's definitely a lot more fun than planets!

So, little Anne grabbed her bear Tiebs directly and began to cast a spell, and after a while, when the spell was completed, an ultra-long-distance teleportation flashed towards the floating wreckage of the battleship in front of her.

Wow......

Soon, after several more long-distance teleportations, little Anne finally arrived inside the wreckage of the huge battleship.

Even she didn't expect that the wreckage they had seen before seemed to be quite close, but when she really rushed to this side, it would take a lot of effort for her old nose! It's more strenuous than teleporting between continents on planets!

Anne then took her bear and wandered around the dilapidated battleship, and it took them a long time to get a rough idea of the basic structure of the battleship.

It's just that they don't have any valuable discoveries, except for the one in front of them, which seems to be ...... Can you still use the escape pod?

Could it be that this was left behind when the aliens escaped?

"Hey! Tibbs, tell me, this is called a rescue pod, can it really be used? ”

After arriving inside the dilapidated starship, little Anne wandered for a long time, and finally found a small cylindrical spaceship in a corner that had not been too badly damaged, and she easily recognized the alien text next to the button next to the door of the small spaceship through her constant language understanding.

————

Rescue pod, which can be used for emergency escape.

It is limited to 10 occupants, and is equipped with a standard Aiur pressurized oxygen environment and an emergency sleep chamber.

Protos, XXXX year XXXX space station manufacturing.

————

(My little ancestor, you don't have a choice now, open it and go in the nest!) Anyway, it says that it is equipped with oxygen, and you have your own food, so ah, you might as well go in and stay at home for a few months! I just don't know, is the water creation technique good in the universe? - Tibbs didn't even think about it, and directly persuaded little Anne.

At the beginning, when they were in New York, they didn't watch all kinds of TV dramas, sci-fi dramas or movies, but now, when they came here, they also got a lifeboat that seemed to be intact, so be content! )

"Okay, then, I'll press it, right? Inside...... There won't be any strange cosmic monsters, right? ”

After saying that, little Anne pretended to be scared and timidly pressed the button that marked it open.

(Tibbs rolls her eyes at Anne's performance and doesn't say much.) She pretended to be scared like that, but her eyes were full of excitement, who did she want to deceive? Hey! Perhaps, she wished there were some monsters or something in there? )

"Wow...... What a beautiful spaceship...... It's just a pity that there's nothing in it......"

There are no alien monsters in the alien spaceship? Bad review!

Little Anne pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, with a slight force under her feet, and floated directly in.

After sensing the vacuum environment outside the rescue cabin, the automatic hatch behind her quickly closed automatically.

Then, the miraculous rescue pod began to pour oxygen directly into the chamber for the living beings to breathe, and also adjusted the pressure in the cabin and created a weak gravitational field to keep little Anne from floating around on her head and feet.

Walking in, after walking around the barn, which was no more than five square meters in size, little Anne found that here, except for five emergency sleeping chambers on each side, a console, and a metal chair, it seemed, there seemed to be nothing?

"There was no bed...... There is no sofa...... There are no bathrooms either...... This spaceship is really inferior! ”

Little Anne muttered twice dissatisfied, are aliens cutting corners like this? Build an extra bathroom or a bed and a couch or something, and they won't die!

(sighs...... It's just a survival pod, and it's already good that you can find this small spaceship that you can still use here, please don't expect too much - Tiebs sighed, this little ancestor of his family, after being the queen for two terms, seems to have been raised? )

"Huh? What does this button mean? Launch? ”

Out of boredom, little Anne walked to the console and saw that there seemed to be a whole row of various buttons on it? Then, she saw the largest, most conspicuous red button on it, and what appeared to be written on it seemed to be ...... What does it mean to launch?

What is it going to launch? weapons? Look, it's fun!

(Don't press ...... Well, when I don't say anything, you can just keep playing slowly! - Tibbs sighed in his heart, but alas, he was still slow to speak.

When it was just about to dissuade, little Anne was already dead, and directly reached out and pressed the red button, and then, this rescue pod, with a swish, rushed directly into the boundless universe outside...... )

"Wow! It's cool, it can still move? ”

Anne was a little surprised, she started to get up from the driver's seat in a hurry, and then, began to look at the console, what other fun things, or weapons, or something?

It's a pity that this spaceship, it's just a lifeboat for emergency escape, just now, little Annie, who doesn't understand anything, didn't even set the coordinates, so she directly pressed the launch button.

So, now, where exactly is this ship going to fly, I guess even the ship itself doesn't know, right? Once its propulsion energy is exhausted, I'm afraid, it will only wander in the universe?

"Oh...... It seems like...... There's nothing more to be fun about. ”

Anne looked closely at the various buttons on the console, in addition to some buttons to mediate the indoor environment, or to request access to a certain spaceship, there was also a green distress button?

Well, that's it!

So, after pressing the green button that emitted the distress signal, little Anne began to lie down on the metal chair, took out the food in her space pocket and began to eat it.

(O Master Anne...... Is it really good for you to press the distress signal casually? In case of...... When the time comes, a group of alien monsters comes, what should I do? - Tibbs no longer wants to accuse it of being an unreliable owner, but ...... Necessary reminder that it still has to be done. )

"Alien monsters? That's great! When the time comes, we'll grab their big spaceships, and then we'll have fun! ”

As soon as she heard that there were alien monsters, little Annie's eyes lit up.

Then, she raised her little oily fist that grabbed the leg of roast lamb and swung it vigorously.

Now, she was already imagining: when the time comes, how will she clean up the aliens who are planning to work against her? Is it to destroy them first, and then rob their ships? Or did you grab the spaceships first and then enslave them?

This is something worth considering, little Anne decided, when the time comes, let's see the other party's performance first!

(Well, when I didn't say anything, you just be happy!) - Tibbs decides that it is going to sleep for a while, ignoring the wretched mistress for a while. )

……

In 2229 A.D., science and technology are extremely developed, and have begun to colonize the universe of the earth, due to the religion, language, culture and unequal distribution of interests between countries, coupled with the people of the earth who have begun to embark on the road of cosmic colonization, finally no longer afraid of the outbreak of world war and the threat of nuclear weapons, so, naturally, on the earth, in the cradle of mankind, the third world war broke out!

At this time, the people of the earth thought about it, anyway, they have begun to colonize the universe on a large scale, anyway, they have enough fleet to transport all the earthlings, so ah, even if the earth is damaged, it doesn't matter? Let's fight!

Eventually, after the end of World War III, a new coalition government emerged here on Earth, UPL, who took control of most of the population and began to implement the New Deal reforms.

However, this new coalition government of Earth is an authoritarian and terrifying government, and in the Age of Discovery, they only need one voice and are committed to eradicating all religions and distinctiveness among civilizations!

So, they destroyed all religions and languages, and after hibernation, warp engines, artificial gravity, and levitation technology matured, they unanimously passed a very humane resolution: they crammed the dissidents who disobeyed their rule and their families into several huge immigration ships, and after setting the time of awakening, they were exiled directly to the distant stars......

The idea of this coalition government is very good, since those people are not willing to submit, since the other party is making trouble for the government all day long, then, very well, they will not kill them, and exile those people to the other side of the universe far away.

Stuff the other party into the immigration boat, and then set the destination and arrive at the specified time before you can wake up again, by then, the other party has already reached the other side of the distant universe, even if you want to go back to the earth, back to the solar system to make trouble, right?

So, after the resolution came into effect, the coalition government stuffed all these dissidents into four huge migrant spaceships, and prepared them with enough technology and colonial command centers to survive, and then threw them in a remote direction of the universe and left them to fend for themselves.

Originally, this plan was very good!

It can not only solve the discordant voices on the earth, but also contribute to the human cosmic colonization plan, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!

It's a pity that the technology of the brain and navigation system they made seems to be a bit out of the mark, and the navigation system will automatically shut down? As a result, the destination of these colonial ships disappeared along with the coordinates of the Earth...... As a result, their one-year journey turned into a 28-year aimless warp voyage......

This is where the Terrans came from in StarCraft at the beginning, but they don't represent the entire Terrans, because they're just a small group of criminals exiled by the coalition government.

These four huge space immigrant ships are the origin of the Terrans in StarCraft, these exiled earthlings, when they woke up from a long cryopathy, they were shocked to find that their own star field was being threatened by two powerful alien forces?

Therefore, while they are trying to develop themselves, they have no choice but to fight!

Only by fighting can they fight for a space for the poor exiled people!

Because, those damn coalition governments, they actually calculated the energy and supplies of the space migrant ships and so on accurately? By the time they woke up, all supplies and energy had run out, making them even want to move to a safe place.

If you think that little Anne's trip took place on the side of these four colonial ships, then you are wrong, in fact, it is not ......

This is another story, if there is no little Annie, these people may not appear in the plot of Interstellar I, but now, the butterfly of Little Annie has fanned a storm again?

You must know that where there is oppression, there will be resistance, this is an eternal theorem.

After a period of rule, the authoritarian and brutal new coalition government of the earth, UPL, once again appeared on the planet: a small group of people, once again rallied because of a common pursuit, tried to make their own different voices to the coalition government, protested and demanded the improvement of their living conditions.

However, these people, probably tens of thousands of dissidents, and in the end, all of them, including their families, were arrested by the coalition government.

Since it has been said before that after the Third World War, there will be a brutal and authoritarian new coalition government of UPL Earth, so how can they still tolerate this small group of new dissidents?

So, it's a certainty that these people will be arrested.

Of course, if you kill them all, it will be too brutal, too bloody, and too easy to attract tongues and cause chaos.

In the end, after discussion, they had to pick up the original exile decision again, and since there was a precedent to follow, it would be much easier.

So, in the end, naturally, these more than 100,000 rebels and their families were once again stuffed into another larger space colony ship that was built.

In 2333 AD, after all the prisoners entered the cryopod and set the time and conditions for awakening, the poor ship was once again kicked to the other side of the universe after the coalition government set another remote course that was different from the previous exiled prisoners to prevent them from merging with the previous criminals......

The Coalition Government, which had experience in the exile of prisoners, was already very proficient, and this time, they didn't even try to control the other party, and just threw them out.

They didn't kill a single one of these dissidents, and they didn't imprison a single one!

And just a simple exile can completely wipe out the other party in space and time! When these annoying criminals, when they wake up more than a hundred years later, on the earth, who else will remember them?

Look at how harmonious and civilized they are? That's pretty much a model for morality! Who dares to say that the coalition government is autocratic, their sixth colonial ship to exile prisoners is already on standby!

Whoever wants to live in it, just come and sign up, the United Government UPL welcomes them!

This is really no threshold, no requirements, and accommodation is included, one person registers, the whole family is glorious, and the whole family has a share!

At the beginning of the year 2334 A.D., this fifth medium-sized space colonization spaceship, with two standard interstellar colonization command centers and more than 100,000 exiles, flew out of the solar system in a different direction from the previous four colonization ships, entered warp sailing, and once again embarked on a lonely and long journey......

……

More than a hundred years ago, the fifth exile ship thrown out by the new coalition government of Earth, numbered NO.5, has now reached its destination, okay...... In fact, there is no destination at all!

In this strange star field, here, there is no star map to navigate, nor any valuable information, everything depends on their lonely colonial spaceship to explore and seek development and survival.

In the end, whether they can survive here or not depends on their own ability.

If, by accident, all these people died, maybe, it would really be as the damned coalition government UPL wished, right?

Now, more than 100 years have passed, and I don't know if the UPL on the other side of the earth has collapsed? What has become of their earth?

Michelle Yeoh, the captain of the Hope, was sitting in the captain's command seat of the giant colonial spaceship at this time, waiting for his crew to be busy and collecting various data.

Originally, this colonial ship was not called the Hope, but it was the new name given by the captain of the ship after the awakening of more than 100,000 exiled and oppressed people.

It means that it will lead them to hope in this strange star field, and find the hope of their more than 100,000 people to survive!

Because, those arrogant and damned authoritarian bureaucrats, they just painted a NO.5 symbol on the outer bulkhead of the spaceship, identification number five, which means: exile ship, the fifth!

As for the other official names? Sorry, they weren't going to waste their precious brain cells on such a ship that was destined to be discarded.

They had just woken up today, and she, as the captain, and the rest of the crew had only undergone a short period of simple training before being stuffed into a dormant chamber.

They could only make sure that the ship wouldn't be hit on a planet by themselves, and for the rest, you really couldn't expect much from the coalition bureaucrats who had already treated them like dead things.

In the eyes of their UPL joint bureaucrats, an expensive colony ship has been prepared for these criminals, what do you think of them? Send someone to help them open?

No kidding! What does it matter to them whether these people live or die? Before waking up, they can be helped by the smart computer, as for after waking up, anyway, after training, if they can't open, they will sink and pull down, and it's a hundred!

"Captain, the approximate data has been collected!"

The current female first officer of the Hope, Doug? Jones walked up to Captain Ziqiong and stood in front of Captain Ziqiong with a transparent glass-shaped, about six-inch portable smart terminal, and then gave a standard military salute.

She, like everyone else on their bridge, wasn't a professional soldier until she entered the dormant chamber, she was forced to train to be a battleship officer by the group of bastards in the union, you know, before that, she Doug? Jones is a freedom-loving artist.

"Read it......"

Michelle Yeoh looked at the various crew members who were busy with the instructions on the various consoles in front of her, and sighed in her heart.

She felt that it was too much for her to lead these people to find a planet where they could survive and live and thrive.

"Yes!"

After bowing again, Doug was a little clumsy looking for the documents to be returned on the smart terminal.

Her approach made Captain Ziqiong's heart sigh again.

"At present, all of our 136,820 people have woken up, and most of them have adapted, but there are also more than 3,121 people who have had violent reactions and died! More than 6,000 people have been admitted to the ward, and there is a serious shortage of medical personnel, so they can only rely on intelligent medical robots to maintain the status quo, which is all the information of our ship's personnel. ”

After swiping a few times on the holographic screen in his hand, Doug's first mate quickly listed the information of the people reported from other positions.

With so many deaths and injuries at once, it is obvious that UPL's dormancy chamber technology does not have the ability to sleep for a long time, but the other party has forcibly let them sleep for more than a hundred years, and the other party's intentions are obviously obvious!

"Below, is the energy and material situation: the energy inventory of our ship Hope has been seriously insufficient, according to the information sent back by the chief engineer, at most, it can sail for about sixty earth days!"

"Moreover, the most important daily necessities are not only a single category, but also a serious shortage of reserve stocks! According to the estimation of the logistics department, the inventory ...... At most, it will only be enough for 130,000 of us for less than 40 days, and after that, we will have to rely on synthetic food for another month or two......"

Speaking of this, Doug's face also turned a little gloomy, those UPL joint bureaucrats are really too much!

On top of the colonial spaceship, there is only a small food cultivation warehouse prepared? It wasn't until a few years before they woke up that they were manipulated by intelligent computers to breed several batches of food crops and embryonic animals, so that they only now found out that there was a serious shortage of food?

"It seems...... We must find a suitable planet to resume production as soon as possible, and this task must be done before the energy is exhausted! ”

Ziqiong muttered to herself, then took a deep breath and turned in the direction of the navigator.

"Navigator, as fast as possible, collect nearby star maps, we need to find the nearest and most suitable planet, this is the first priority! You have to be as soon as possible! ”

She yelled at Anthony the navigator harshly.

"Ahh Be! I, I'll do it as soon as possible! ”

Her stern expression made Anthony, who was already a novice, even more flustered.

Then, he quickly helped the glasses on his eye sockets, and then began to quickly flip through the thick paper manual, but, in fact, he can use the smart terminal to search, in this way, can it be more convenient?

However, you have to be considerate that he is a newbie......

"Captain, I scanned and found a strange rhythmic signal! Looks like it's a strange lifeboat, and it seems to be very close to us? ”

Radar Captain Sonya, who was in charge of radar observation and signal collection, turned around and reported to their captain in a somewhat confused tone.

In this case, she had only seen it in textbooks, but this was the first time she had actually encountered it.

"Immediately turn on Hope's active quantum radar and conduct a comprehensive scan of the surrounding star fields! Execute it now! ”

It was discovered that a man-made object was so close to it? Captain Michelle Yeoh immediately exploded!

Who knows if that thing, is it a lifeboat or not? Or is it the attack weapon of some alien creature? Moreover, listening to the report of the radar chief, the other party seems to be so close to his own Hope? Is that worth it?

This matter must be taken seriously, and we must be vigilant enough!

"What are you doing in a daze?!"

Seeing that the radar chief was still stunned, Michelle Yeoh was furious.

Sure enough, these newcomers are all unreliable!

I'm afraid that among the 130,000 people on the ship now, there are less than 100 people with regular military training, right? Not to mention officers of various positions with experience in ships.

"Huh? Good...... Good! ”

Sonia came back to her senses and began to manipulate it in a hurry, and after a while, after turning on the more energy-intensive active radar, she quickly got concrete results.

"Report to the captain! Counterpart...... It should indeed be a strange lifeboat! I didn't observe any energy response, and the other party seems to have lost motivation? ”

The radar chief said a little uncertainly, and then turned his head to look at the data on the holographic screen.

"Now, it's relying on inertia, moving at high speed along a predetermined trajectory in front of us, at a distance of ...... Less than 30,000 km! And, according to the life signals, the ...... sitting on it Seems to be a human? ”

Sonia was also surprised by the signal displayed on the interface.

In this place, in this distant and unfamiliar star field, how could there be other human beings besides their boatload? Could it be that the instruments of this spacecraft, which has been flying for more than a hundred years, have failed?

"Are you sure, you read that right?!"

Captain Ziqiong was shocked, what kind of international joke is this? How is this possible?

In this distant and unfamiliar star field, even the exiles of them have been floating in warp speed for more than a hundred years before they get here!

So, what is this human who is now riding in a strange rescue pod? It's a little weird to be in a situation like this here, isn't it?

For a while, Captain Michelle Yeoh was also a little undecided.

She didn't know, what the hell was to do?

Seriously, she's only been the captain of a small warship, and she doesn't have any experience with a large colonial ship like the one now...... She is burdened with the expectations of more than 100,000 people, like this situation, how to deal with it?

"Captain? What do we do now? In another 12 minutes and 21 seconds, it will float past the position in front of us. ”

Radar Chief Sonia asked again.

Based on the calculations that could only be calculated, she quickly figured out the other party's orbit and the specific time of its passage, and they hoped that the ship would have to react before then, otherwise, the other party would have drifted away along the track.

“……”

Michelle Yeoh didn't care about Captain Lei's request again, but frowned deadly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"First Officer Doug, go and let the Marines prepare, equip them with an armored transport ship, let them be fully armed, go and capture the rescue pod, and only after confirming that the other party does not pose any threat to our door, can we let them return!"

After thinking about it for a while, Captain Ziqiong finally made the decision to capture the rescue pod.

She is also very curious now, inside that strange lifeboat, will it be a human as shown on the radar? Or some other alien creature?

Although there was a certain risk to her Hope by capturing the other party rashly, she still decided to do so.

Moreover, she has also taken corresponding insurance measures, and she will definitely not let the lifeboat enter her Hope until she is sure that the other party is absolutely safe!

When the time comes, let the Marines inspect it before they get on the transport spacecraft, right? Even if there is a real danger, it is only the loss of a Marine squad and a transport ship?

"Yes! Captain! ”

Doug Li answered, began to pick up the communication equipment in his hand, and began to issue orders to the Marines, who were also newly awakened.

On their huge immigration spaceship, at present, there are only two squads of marines, each team has ten members, equipped with old CMC-300/400 power combat suits, 8 mm caliber C-15 spike electromagnetic guns, and the equipment is quite sophisticated.

Merely...... What worries Doug the most is that these Marines, all of them, including the captain, are new recruits......

Is it too much to let a group of recruits who have just woken up go on this kind of mission?
