Looking up at the white clouds in the sky that seemed to be within reach, Xiahoulin, Laxis, Qiuyue, and Catherine were standing by the artificial lake inside a colonial satellite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiahoulin and his party had already entered the mission world of this future era five minutes ago. At that time, there was no one around the artificial lake here.

Because the electronic clock located not far away at the moment shows that it is currently 7 o'clock in the morning Earth time, most of the inhabitants of the colony may have just woken up.

In Gundam's worldview, colonizing satellites is a transitional stage before humans try to colonize alien planets in order to solve the problem of overpopulation.

The colonial satellite of the UC century was cylindrical in appearance, about 30 to 40 kilometers long and 6 kilometers in diameter, and could accommodate about 30 million inhabitants, which is equivalent to the population of a metropolis on Earth in the old century.

Colonial satellites can be divided into open, closed, and composite types, and they rotate around the universe to create gravity similar to that of the Earth. Therefore, there is also artificially controlled day and night, so that human beings living inside have the same schedule as the earth, so as not to disturb the normal biological clock.

In order to colonize the human beings in the satellite, as if they were living on Earth. The interior of the satellite has about one atmosphere of air pressure, and the inner wall biosphere is implanted in mountains, lakes, animals and plants, establishing a complete ecosystem.

The open version of the colonization satellite uses three large mirrors to bring sunlight into the interior (so half of the "land" inside is transparent), while the closed version uses a solar power generation device on the outside and an artificial solar as a light source inside.

Confined colonies were more expensive and could accommodate about 50 million people because they had a larger capacity, while open colonies had about half the capacity. Therefore, this type of colonial satellite, of course, is much more expensive.

And at this moment, the colonial satellite where Xiahoulin and the three of them are located is such a sealed colonial satellite. And it's also a satellite that is similar to scientific research and manufacturing, because just now Laxis and Qiuyue have seen a lot of large-scale research facilities about five kilometers away.

"Just checked and the temperature here is constant between 22 and 25 degrees. It is very suitable for human habitation, and the surrounding air does not have too many pollutants. Qiu Yue was in her own habits, and she quickly analyzed the air and other conditions around her at the first time.

Compared to the polluted Earth, the colonial satellite does have a better air quality. There are basically no sources of pollution, and the energy used is also renewable. Waste gas and all kinds of household garbage will be treated by special facilities.

However, the only difference here from Earth is that there are not many animals in the colonized satellites. After all, this is not the natural ecological environment of the earthsphere, and some animals cannot live here.

"We'll go to other places to see what's going on, and now the priority is to gather information first. It's not clear which colonization constellation is here? Xia Houlin looked at the residential area that could be seen in the distance, and what he wanted to figure out most now was what kind of place this was. It's better not to be in the middle of a year of war, in one of those destroyed colonies.

You must know that the outside is now a cosmic space with an extremely harsh environment, and once you are involved outside, it will be a life of death.

Xiahoulin's words were agreed by everyone present, so the group walked towards a residential area in front of them very naturally, like ordinary colonial residents.

It was time for work and school in the morning, so many residents began to go out. They are heading for school or work at the moment, and it's no different from life in a city on Earth.

If it weren't for the metal layer on top of the conspicuous satellite overhead, I'm afraid Xia Houlin and his party wouldn't have felt that this was a man-made building.

"The area of this kind of colonial satellite is really large enough, and if the population of the earth is growing uncontrollably, I am afraid that living in such an environment will be an inevitable result." Laxisis raised her eyes and looked around her surroundings, which fully met the necessities of human life.

With its fresh air, turquoise meadows, and clean and tidy environment, it is one of the most suitable environments for human beings compared to the earth in the early 21st century.

"The colonial satellites in this world, though, are big enough. However, there is no powerful weapon of self-defense. That is, it is just a large colony, and many of these colonies will be destroyed in the following year's war. Because the shell of the colony simply cannot withstand the blow of a nuclear bomb. Xia Houlin explained to the three beauties beside him, in his opinion, these colonies in front of him were really too fragile. If the Federation forces stationed inside are defeated, it will be a completely undefended city.

Compared with many science and technology movies, it has a multi-functional space city with both offense and defense. The cosmic colonies in the UC century are a little too vulnerable in the middle of war.

"Then we'll pray that it's best not to show up in the colonies that will be used as battlefields." Catherine stared at the group of children in front of her who were heading to school, with carefree expressions on their faces at the moment. The same is true of the surrounding residents, who are still talking and laughing and ready to start a new day, but they don't know that such a peaceful day will soon be over.

"Let's find out what the current time is. It's better not to be when the war of one year begins. Xiahoulin looked at the quiet and peaceful colonial satellite in front of him, which in history had been destroyed by war, and billions of people had died.

Space warfare is so cruel and merciless, if the colonial satellites are destroyed. Then those residents who live inside basically have no possibility of escaping, because the outside is a deadly cosmic vacuum environment.

"Then go to the café in front, I think you should be able to find some useful information there." Akizuki pointed to a café at the intersection ahead, which was actually open early in the morning, and there were quite a few people eating breakfast there. A place like this where a large number of people gather is often the best place to get information.

After entering the coffee shop, sure enough, Xia Houlin and his party quickly obtained the information they needed, but this was not a happy good news.

Instead of lingering in the coffee shop, Xiahoulin and his party of four left there. I found a lawn with few people, and when it seemed like a chat to outsiders, I began to discuss the next situation.

"It seems that our luck this time is not very good......I didn't expect that we are really on the verge of the outbreak of a year of war. According to the information, the area where it is currently located is Atlantis of SIDE1, one of the locations where the battle broke out, and it will be completely destroyed. Laxis said this without the slightest nervousness on her face, but the audience on the side was completely different.

Of course, Xiahoulin on the side knew what Laxis was talking about, if everyone didn't get out of here as soon as possible. In the event of a fierce battle between the Federation and the Zeon, it is very likely that they will be drawn into the battle and die.

"Then let's find a spaceship to get out of here, preferably one that can return directly to Earth." Xia Houlin didn't think that he had the technical equipment. In this kind of battle that is larger than the world war, you can carry out the mission leisurely.

In a large-scale war, if you get involved, you may not know when you will hang up. In this plot, the individual strength has been reduced.

And the task given by space is to collect several technologies here, and until the end of the one-year war. Therefore, the best way is to stay away from the war, and then rely on the advantage of your own technology and equipment to secretly collect everything needed for the mission.

However, Laxis on the side did not see it that way, because if he wanted to obtain advanced technology in this world, the colonial satellite he was currently in was also a very good platform.

It is one of several research-based satellites in SIDE1, and there are various high-tech research institutes, as well as related factories and other areas.

"Your suggestion is too conservative, we can actually use this colonial satellite in front of us. Instead of stealing the technology of the Earth Federation and Zeon, it is better to join the Federation openly and let them send the technology themselves. As for Zeon's technology, then use the power of the Federation to seize it for us. Laxis looked at Charho Lin with a confident smile on her face, and then she could see where she was. After analyzing the information in hand, a plan was quickly formulated, although there is a certain risk, but the reward is the highest.

Not to mention, it is not so easy to find a spaceship to rush to the region. First of all, Xia Houlin and the others are in this world, and they do not have any identity. It is impossible to board the aircraft smoothly, and even if it is to infiltrate the spaceship with the help of stealth equipment, it is not known whether the spacecraft is heading for Earth.

"Then let me make one more suggestion, let's just split into two groups. One group joins the Earth Federation, and the other joins the Zeon side. In order to obtain the most important technical information of both parties as much as possible. Catherine looked at the crowd and spoke her mind.
