Chapter X: Approaching Investigation
The quiet universe, the black that never fades. In this dark starry sky, a small boat sails slowly, like a leaf falling into the sea, submerged in the white waves, unable to discern any details. The dinghy faced a planet, and the faint blue light conjured up a round of discs, dimly pulling golden silk wool, with a touch of red, growing larger.
Since only the electromagnetic propulsion system can be used, the patrol boat can accelerate to a maximum of 200 km/s, which is a speed placed on the earth and can circle the equator in about 200 seconds, which is simply lightning speed. However, in the universe, it is as slow as an ant, and it takes about three hours for a patrol boat to climb to its destination.
The ship has a harmonious appearance, no obvious tail nozzle, and the engines are more hidden. Its body is coordinated, and the weapon system adopts a lifting, folding, or fish-scale structure, and the overall shape is streamlined, which is extremely artistic, and seems to be better integrated with the dark universe.
Three hours, compared to 13.7 billion years, is only a blink of an eye, and under the supervision of the reconnaissance team, it slowly enters the geostationary orbit of the planet.
It's really crowded enough, with a lot of satellites cramming it in. You can even see several spaceports, with such a huge body lying in orbit, but the speed is not slow at all.
"Adjust your posture in the last three seconds."
“3”
“2”
“1”
"921514 successfully entered the intended orbit."
There was no one in the patrol boat, and this was only the first step in the mission, but at least it proved the excellent performance of the optical stealth system.
"Prepare to launch nanoguides/bombs." Hans issues commands in the Quantum Channel.
"Yes!"
"The launch units are ready."
"Launch!"
The "scales" on the exterior of the patrol boat quickly flipped up, and many extremely small holes appeared, and the guide/missile burst out like lightning under the action of the particle accelerator, rushing towards the satellite and spaceport in the distance.
The missile/missile is the M-22-09/1, which is not even 100 nanometers long, and the warhead is loaded with several 2-nanometer chips. The propulsion system is mainly a very small particle trimmer, which mainly plays the role of making appropriate adjustments to the predetermined orbit. Since the nano-guide/missile emphasizes large-scale coverage rather than accuracy, the missile/missile adopts inertial guidance.
In just one round of intensive launches, the patrol boat fired more than 100,000 nanoguides/bombs, which seems to be a huge number, but it is really small in the universe.
These misses/projectiles are so small that they can only cause fluctuations in the optical stealth film. They silently fell into this "Black Sea", quickly put on a black invisibility cloak and disappeared.
Hans added some missiles/bombs, and of course the mission of these missiles/bombs was different from the previous ones, and they mainly ran to this planet. In order to ensure the diversity and comprehensiveness of information, Hans not only invaded the satellite system of this civilization, but also invaded the computers and optical brains of the civilization.
Next, the patrol boat took a few photos, adjusted its posture, and got out of its stationary orbit. Hans's mission is not over, they have to dive into the planet's atmosphere and conduct close reconnaissance.
At first, the patrol boat descended at a faster rate and soon entered the upper atmosphere, and then, according to the plan, the speed of the patrol boat quickly decreased to 2 km/s, and it taxied in a parallel downward attitude.
In the process of collision with the atmosphere, ripples on the optical stealth film are still within the tolerable range. After several attitude adjustments, the 921514 hovered steadily in the stratosphere, 15 kilometers above land.
The surroundings are not empty, and you can clearly see the towering space elevators in the distance, and there are also some aircraft operating nearby, but strangely, most of them belong to military aircraft, and there are fewer civilian ones.
From here, you can see the land from here, and you feel like a thick fog has enveloped the crystal ball, and you can't see any details. Only by turning on the electromagnetic detection system in other bands can we penetrate this membrane and see the scenery that has not been seen for a long time.
This is truly hell on earth, and when the mask is removed, the planet's ugly face is finally visible. The steel forest still spews thick black smoke, transforming the clean air into a vast array of industrial products. The rivers here are truly colorful, black, green, yellow, etc., and countless waste water turns the clear blood of the planet into a palette. Naturally, the ocean is not much better, and large stains can often be seen, which stain this blue coat.
The land is full of holes, full of ravines and ravines, and endless deserts. What's even more terrifying is that there are many trees here that fall diagonally in a strange posture, like warriors who are not willing to die. There are also many deep pits, countless industrial wrecks and corpses, and a large number of abandoned warplanes, tanks, and mechas. No one could have imagined that this planet could hide hell as heaven.
There are still mountains here, but the mountains that are beloved by the benevolent are no longer what they are. Many of the crumbling huge rocks told of their grief, and their bare skin seemed to have been completely cracked by the fire.
There are also mountain villages here, but the ecological environment of this mountain village is ...... I don't know how long people here will live.
The countryside on the plains is no better, and there are farmers who use low-level farming methods, with tattered clothes, iron ploughs and oxen ploughing, and if it weren't for the maglev cars coming and going in the sky, it would make people feel like they have traveled back in time.
As for the urban agglomeration of high-rise buildings, it seems to be much more gorgeous, but when the veil is peeled off, dirty black liquid flows out. Kilometers of buildings are obscured by black fog, and the top of the building is not visible at all, and it is clear that the glass windows of such buildings cannot be opened. Dragon-like vacuum pipes sway through the city, and they may not need to deliberately whitewash the exterior, this fast-paced transportation behemoth cloaks in black and quietly plays its part, but not a single tear can fall.
Even at low altitudes, there is a dense white fog that even London in the 20th century cannot compare, and Beijing in the early 21st century is just a little doll. The giant was completely filled with smoke and couldn't breathe at all.
......
The patrol boat took a few more tearful photos, collected a little air, and slowly jumped into the starry sky, riding a dull blue away. It's impossible to keep people who love cleanliness and comfort in this dirty place. In the same way, it is difficult to imagine how the inhabitants of this area live.
The gap between the living environment of this civilization and their level of science and technology is too great, and this is bound to be a society where contradictions between people and land are acute, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.
Looking at the spaceport floating near the planet, Hans wondered: Doesn't this civilization understand the importance of environmental governance? Are they all robots? Can they really endure this smoky miasma?
He shook his head and steered the patrol boat back to the asteroid. In his opinion, an asteroid that lacks life may be better than this kind of ghost place.
Even the robots around him thought so.
PS: Think about the current environment, if you don't work hard to protect it, it will definitely lead to tragedy, so let's protect the environment.
