Chapter 3 Migration to Mars 4
Large-scale Martian migration has finally begun, and one after another migrant spacecraft continue to fly out of the airport and go straight to the stargate.
Xingtian and Ares had already completed the change of guards, and the two fleets were still conducting confrontation exercises between the escorts.
Although the number of migrants transported this time was huge, there was no noise like the last time, and each emigrant spacecraft was very quiet, and there was no movement except for the necessary communication links.
It was as if there was no human activity in this star field at all. After 1 month, the Martian immigration is basically over, Xingtian and Ares have also stopped the confrontation exercise in order to allow the fleet commanders at all levels to summarize the experience, today is the last batch of migrant spacecraft to fly to Mars, and a group of scientific researchers led by Dr. Aron to enter Mars for research are also among these 3 spacecraft.
Alice followed suit, and she has now become a qualified researcher in space technology. When the first ship entered the stargate, the second and third ships followed.
Waiting to be picked up, Ares waited as usual near the stargate for the arrival of the migrant ship. However, this time, he plans to follow the spacecraft to the surface of Mars after the shuttle, make a final handover with the Martian immigration officer, and then return to Athena City through the stargate for a short rest, and at the same time, he will also be able to meet Alice and Dr. Aron, after all, they can't see each other often in a short time.
Ares also carefully prepared a gift for Alice. Xingtian had already sent a signal confirming that the three spaceships had entered the stargate, and Ares was immediately ready to answer it.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded on the Battlestar to indicate that the energy fluctuations caused by the crossing were beyond the normal range.
Ares immediately ordered the entire fleet to be put on alert. After 5 minutes of travel time, the energy fluctuations disappeared, and only 1 immigrant ship appeared outside the stargate, and the other 2 did not.
This made Ares's heart rise to his throat, and he immediately contacted Xingtian to ask if any of the migrant ships had returned to him.
Xingtian replied that no spacecraft appeared. Ares immediately contacted the migrant ship that appeared to ask if there was a problem during the crossing.
The ship's answer was that it didn't feel like anything was wrong. Ares immediately reported the situation to Commander Grove, who immediately organized researchers to inspect the gate and ordered it to be suspended.
Just as everyone was busy, the stargate on Ares' side had another energy fluctuation, and a missing migrant ship appeared outside the stargate.
Ares' nervous heart relaxed slightly, and he immediately communicated with the ship, but no one did except the reply from the autoresponder.
Ares immediately sent a team of space fighters to approach the ship, and the fighter team successfully approached the ship and gained access to the ship within the response range.
By the time the fighter team that entered the ship reported the situation, Ares was dumbfounded. The ship was empty, and the ship's auxiliary light brain had taken over the entire ship.
The 200,000 people and the pilots of the spaceship all disappeared without a trace, and Ares ordered the fighter team to maneuver the spaceship to evacuate the stargate, hoping in his heart that the last spaceship would appear, even if there was no one, it would be much better than disappearing.
But the last ship did not appear until 5 hours later. At this moment, the gift for Alice that Ares was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
