Chapter 24: 200,000 Light Years Away
The scorching sun is like a furnace, which burns all matter; The sun is like a flame, burning a starry sky.
The barren land, littered with rocks and gravel, hardly has a single life.
The hot air was churning, as if it were boiling. Everywhere there was a dazzling white light, which was blocked by the straight people with their hands. The sunlight is so strong that even if you close your eyes, you will feel swollen and sour.
With temperatures of up to 64C, it was almost a dead place.
Without life, the colourful colours of those ores are not a symbol of vitality.
This is the vein star that Zoomlion has just discovered.
Large expanses of wasteland glowing with different colors, small circular mountains, ore everywhere, and hard land that can't be broken by laser rifles are all the characteristics of this vein star.
And it is also very large, nearly 1,200 times the size of Earth, that is, about the same size as Jupiter in the solar system.
The environment of the vein star is very harsh, but the resources are quite abundant, so the two sides of the Central Alliance and the Rising Sun Empire began to fight for this planet.
However, this is only the initial stage of exploration, and there is very little fighting between the two sides, as neither of them fully understands the planet.
It is because there are few battles that East Point sends students over, so the recruits will meet the natural challenge, not the army of the rising sun.
And just between the barren mountains under the scorching sun, there is a pioneer exploration team of Zoomlion.
Wrapped in a translucent shield of energy, there is no doubt that this is a small military base.
It's somewhere around this military base.
"Hey, Rafsky, how about a Lipstick Star Erguotou!" Zhou Quan held a small wine bottle 20 cm high and patted the Slavic soldiers beside him.
"I don't like the taste, it's still vodka strong enough." Rafsky shook his head, "Also, drink less in the future, you drunkard." ”
"I'm afraid... What the. Shrugged his shoulders slightly, Zhou Quan hiccuped, "We're still far from the real fight, drink some now, don't miss something." ”
"That's... That being said. Ravsky suddenly looked behind Zhou Quan, his eyes changed slightly, "But... It wouldn't be good if the chief saw this. ”
"Hey, I'll tell you." Zhou Quan showed a helpless expression, he took a step forward and put his arms around the Slav's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, even if the chief comes, my brother will cover you." ”
Rawski's expression couldn't help but become strange.
"Huh?" Feeling someone on the shoulder, Zhou Quan couldn't help but look behind him, and in an instant, his smile froze on his face.
"Hello Sergeant!" He reacted immediately, straightening up in a standard military posture. This guy changed his face faster than he could turn a book, and he was stunned to read Rafsky.
It's just that Zhou Quan is still holding a bottle of Red Star Erguotou in his hand, but it seems so inconsistent at this moment.
"Well, the military posture is good. So Corporal Zhouquan, what are you doing? Sergeant Fumando was not angry at his subordinates' behavior of secretly drinking, but only smiled slightly.
However, when he saw this scene, Rafsky secretly pinched a cold sweat in his heart for thoughtfulness.
Fumando is a somewhat fat Chinese, because he is always smiling, so he is codenamed "Maitreya Buddha" in the army. However, this Maitreya Buddha is not easy to mess with, when he laughs, it is when someone is unlucky, so he has another code name "Smiling Tiger".
"Back to the sir, we're drinking water!"
"You're drinking water?" Sergeant Fumando smiled and pointed to his bottle.
"No, it's a bottle, but it's water." Zhou Quan handed him the bottle in his hand.
Taking the bottle, Fumando sniffed the mouth of the bottle, there was really no smell of wine. Then he tasted it, it was really just ordinary water, not treated tasteless alcohol, and he couldn't help but look at it with some confusion.
"And what did you just tell me about that?" Ravsky asked Zhou Quan at this point, and this was exactly what Fumando was thinking.
"I'm fooling you!" Zhou Quan said nonchalantly, "By the way, I will give you a small test to see if you can endure loneliness and whether you are hungry and thirsty." ”
"I knew it." Ravsky looked at the trickster with some helplessness, "You slut. ”
"Okay, stop arguing." Fumando waved his hand, "Remember that you can never drink." Guys, in a few days it will be our duty day. ”
"It's going to the places where the birds don't poop again, we were so hung off and roasted last time. But this time it's really a fortune, God knows how much those minerals are worth, but unfortunately we don't have a share......"
"Shut up, be thoughtful." Fu Manduo no longer smiled, but instead had a serious expression on his face, "We'll discuss this action together later." ”
So the three of them walked through a black complex stationed on the ground and came to the shooting range.
The range is an open-air square torus filled with highly realistic humanoid molds, as well as weapons and armor.
Many soldiers practiced shooting their weapons here, while others practiced on the sidelines.
"Hey, you stepped on me, brother."
"Oh, I'm sorry, but you look so handsome today, man." Zhou Quan apologized to a soldier who was doing sit-ups and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"That's natural, my handsomeness is obvious to all. Last time, Sinia asked me to pretend to be his boyfriend and tease her lover Mi Xiang. ”
"That chick? Speaking of which, she's pretty punctual. It's a pity that such a beauty was ruined by a Mickey Mouse. ”
The two of them smiled heartily, and there was an expression on their faces that all men understood.
"Enough of you." Ravsky couldn't stand it.
"You'd better not let this sentence be heard by Mi Xiang." Looking at Zhou Quan's obscene expression, Fu Manduo smiled slightly, "Otherwise, he will kill you." ”
"Sgt. Corp., you can't betray your brothers." Zhou Quan's face was a little bitter, and the matter of Captain Mi Xiang's beating of his superiors was already well known to everyone. He's a little corporal, and he hasn't been brought to death by that guy.
"If you don't want to die, let's talk less nonsense, and let's discuss this action."
"Good, good."
The trio continued to walk forward, passing through a number of servicemen who were working on shooting events.
"Sir, you're here." A Chinese soldier wearing a beret put down the assault rifle in his hand and turned to look at Sergeant Fumando.
"Good marksmanship, Lin Yu." Fumando nodded at him, "Alright, let's plan our actions in a few days, Grange." ”
"I'm here, sir." Putting down the razor in his hand and stroking his smooth chin, a Finn walked briskly.
"Alright, everyone's here, so now... Let's take a look at the area we're going to pass through this time. ”
On an eight-square-meter table, a virtual image of a map is projected.
"These are the places." Adjusting his light brain, Fumando's right hand held his cheek and prostrated himself on the table, "Those places where the red line is drawn." ”
"The area has been marked." The light brains of the other four people had already burned all the information on the map.
"As you can see, the area of our event is a bit dangerous, and we will encounter some of the dangerous creatures in those veins." Fumando's face was a little solemn.
"Dangerous creatures?" Loughski was a little confused.
"It's the so-called 'non-invasive indigenous creatures.'" Grange answered his question, shrugging slightly, "I don't know what those scientists have in their heads. ”
"It's like, those creatures are dangerous. As a result, I remember which unlucky guy was last time, and the key parts of the man were actually bitten off. ”
"Shut up, be thoughtful."
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up. You say, you say. Zhou Quan raised his hands and muttered slightly, "I really don't know what the above thinks, why let us soldiers take risks, obviously we can detect with mechas." ”
"That's your ignorance." Fu Manduo said angrily, he couldn't even smile at the living treasure in this team, "Now there is a dragon scale V3 patrolling this planet, constantly collecting intelligence. ”
"That's a good thing." Lin Yu was a little fascinated.
"Wait, you'll have a chance to see it." Fumando said firmly.
