Chapter 1: Titan 2 Camp

Next Chapter

In June 2175, Mu Chen, as a volunteer to immigrate to Titan, has been living with his family on this planet billions of kilometers away from the mother planet of Earth for 3 years.

Everything is far less beautiful than the original immigration plan advertised, and the infinite opportunities and possibilities seem so ridiculous in the face of reality.

Although Titan is a habitable planet suitable for human survival in all aspects, the frequent crustal movements, strange climate changes, and crazy attacks of various earth creatures have made human settlers miserable, not to mention planetary exploration.

The settlers were left to survive in camps under the protection of the Union Army, but even so, the number of immigrants continued to decline due to various accidents.

Of the 10,000 volunteers who immigrated to Titan with Mu Chen, less than 8,000 have survived so far.

Camp 2, which was originally quite prosperous, has lost its original hustle and bustle, and people's faces are full of confusion.

This situation makes it difficult for the subsequent resettlement of the mother planet.

The Interstellar Immigration Bureau was unable to gather more migrant volunteers despite its efforts, and each time the transport ship arrived, it could only bring dozens of scavengers and a small number of fighters who could not survive on Earth, which could not meet the needs of the camp at all.

The situation continues to deteriorate, and during a recent expedition, a 20-member exploration team encountered a group of sphinxes foraging for food.

This native creature of Titan resembles a cougar on Earth, but it is three times the size of a cougar, and with an invulnerable fish-scale armor, it is the apex predator on Titan.

The Sphinx Scales usually feed on small creatures on Titans, and sometimes come out of their holes in groups to catch large creatures such as giant mammoths, and more than 50 Sphinxes work closely together like wolves, and even the 60-meter-tall giant mammoths are no match for them, let alone exploration teams armed with only small arms.

The encounter was one-sided from the start, and the E-class light weapons carried by the expedition team couldn't even penetrate the armor of the Lionx.

Although the team sent a distress signal in time, when the rescue personnel of the combat team arrived at the scene in an all-terrain combat vehicle with heavy weapons, the 20-member exploration team was not spared, and the ground was littered with human fragments.

When the sad news reached the camp, the already tense situation worsened again.

Most of the settlers have developed a deep fear of this unfriendly planet, and have asked for transport ships to take them back to Earth.

Naturally, this request cannot be agreed to by the federal government, after all, some of the minerals produced on this planet are urgently needed on Earth, not to mention the huge economic benefits contained in colonizing Titan, which also forced the federal government to give up the immigration plan easily.

In order to guarantee that the immigrants can stay on Titan, the federal government has decided to send more combat troops to protect their safety, promising better treatment and benefits.

This decision eased the tension in the camp to a certain extent, but everyone understood that this was only temporary, and that the tension in the camp would worsen if there were another mass casualty.

Mu Chen is one of the few people in the camp who can still maintain an optimistic attitude, and in his opinion, although there are many crises here, it is at least much better than not having enough to eat on the home planet at the beginning.

There is a house for a family of four in the camp, the parents have a well-paid job, they can get a high-quality education, and more importantly, their sister who is not in good health can also get effective treatment in the medical institution in the camp, all of which are impossible for the Muchen family to get on earth.

Mu Chen climbed out of the immersion holographic somatosensory learning warehouse, moved his neck, and looked forward to his future life.

I will soon be 16 years old, and according to my current grades and physical fitness, I can say that I can 100% be able to enter the Interstellar Military Academy for further study.

This is an opportunity for countless people to compete for, not to mention that military schools will be given a lot of allowances, just the 10,000 civic honor points obtained by military cadets are enough to Mu Chen to have fun, you must know how hard-won this 10,000 honor points are for ordinary people.

The federal government divides citizens into many classes, each with different benefits and privileges.

Take the citizenship level of her sister Muyue E+ as an example, although she can also receive treatment from the medical center, the high cost still makes Muchen's family miserable.

If Mu Chen has this 10,000 honor points, he will be able to raise his sister's citizen level to D level, which will not only reduce medical expenses a lot, but also allow Mu Chen's family to get more benefits, such as living in a bigger house, gaining the right to buy more goods, and so on.

Leaving school, Mu Chen looked forward to his future life while slowly walking home.

As an E-class citizen, he did not have the permission to take a D-class vehicle, so he could only watch with envy as his classmates around him walked onto the magnetic-powered bus in groups.

Fortunately, the school is not too far from home, and the half-hour journey is considered to be an exercise.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and this is the working time of the industrial zone, most of the immigrants work in various departments of the industrial zone, and even the commercial area has a feeling of being crowded, and the clerks in the shops are yawning lazily.

At this time, most of the students who come to shop are junior students who have just finished school, and the purchasing power can be imagined, and there will not necessarily be one person who buys something for 100 students who come to shop, but more just around some strange goods to watch.

Mu Chen walked through the streets and alleys, and he was not interested in the shops around him.

It's really too much, when he first came to Titan, Mu Chen, like these junior students, visited the store door to door with his classmates every day after school, and every strange commodity was a topic of discussion for them.

But in the past 3 years, the goods here have hardly changed, except for the various specialty fruits of Titan picked around the camp that can make him stop, all the other goods are transported from the home planet, which also represents the progress of the exploration operation, that is, there is no progress, otherwise at least there will be more local goods on Titan.

The bar in the distance is doing good business, and the workers who take turns to come here for a drink, which is also one of the few entertainment venues in the camp, and it is also a place for Mu Chen to work on weekends.

Mu Chen didn't like the atmosphere there in his heart, there was too much negative energy, the drunkard who drank too much complained about the hard work, the soldier who lost his teammates vented his grief and anger in his heart, and the woman in scantily dressed clothes looked for her prey......

As an aspiring young man who aspires to become a military cadet, if it weren't for the pitiful salary of 30 star coins an hour, Mu Chen felt that he would not have stepped there even if he died.

"Everything will be fine," Mu Chen always used this sentence to comfort himself, as long as he can enter the military academy, the life of the family will be improved, his sister will be able to get better treatment, and his parents will no longer have to work so hard.

"You must be admitted to a military school." This is the goal Mu Chen set for himself.
