Chapter 207: Finding a Temporary Stronghold, a Strange Planet
Inside the starship of the Sixth Fleet, Cillin looked at the string of characters displayed on the communicator panel in his hand, and after these characters were decoded, it was a message sent by Gada the hunting knife.
Gada mainly reassured Sillin that the people of the "Grim Reaper" would not come to Sillin for the time being, and Osculo had been pestered by some people in the military in recent times. After all, he is a famous star lone traveler in the Star Alliance, and people who know Osculo will closely guard Osculo, so at least Xilin is safe in the near future, and it also gives Xilin a buffer time.
For the hunting knife Gada, Cillin has always been more curious, such a person, known as the lone hunter second only to Osculo, although Gada said that he was injured by Osculo and hid in the prison in the Z star area to recuperate, but in Cillin's opinion, this statement is half true and half false.
Cillin was injured by Osculo, but it remains to be considered that he was forced to hide in the Z star area to recuperate.
Being able to survive at the hands of Osculo shows Gada's strength, but at the same time, Sirin also took into account that Osculo was able to injure Gada back then, but now?
Gada felt very strange to Xilin, this person, Xilin couldn't understand. And according to Osculo's temper, since he was eyeing Cillin, why did he change his mind at that time?
Again, the reason is Gada.
Gada, how strong has he been after so many years?
In addition to his personal strength, Gada can speak to the "Grim Reaper", and such an influence is already amazing. Coupled with divination, whether what Gada said was true or not, it made Gada shrouded in a layer of fog.
"Wow, it's here!"
Karry's shouting pulled Cillin's thoughts back.
Looking at the picture displayed on the big screen, everyone was excited.
According to the star map, this is the area that the Pioneer is assigned to.
ZJ area. Z-star zone J sub-district. In the next 10 years, it will be an area for the early pioneers of resource exploitation.
Next, the group first dealt with the general situation of this area in detail, and listed the situation of each planet for later action.
After ten days of rough collection, the home team identified a relatively large planet with a habitability of class A, which was determined to be ZJ100 planet.
ZJ100 planet once identified. For no particular reason, this planet will remain the core planet of Division J, both now and in the future, to the military.
After the central planet is determined. The ten squadrons did not stop exploring, with the ZJ100 planet in the center of the division as the core, diverging outward and dividing into ten directions, and the ten squadrons spontaneously occupied a planet as a temporary base around the ZJ100 center planet where the main team was located. Then develop it yourself.
Finding a suitable planet as a temporary base for the detachment is not as simple as it sounds, of course it is good to be able to find a planet with a level of habitability, but if you can't find it, you can only find a planet with a level of habitability B, and there are very few planets with a level of habitability, and the best one has been used as a core planet.
The communication network of the ZJ Division has been expanded, and coupled with the easing of the cosmic environment, the contact between the various detachments is now quite frequent. It is known which squadron has found the right planet, and which squadron still has not made any progress.
As the quest continued, it was heard that there were fleets that had found the right planets, and two of them had the shit to find A-class habitability. Although those two planets are not big. But it was enough to make the envy of other detachments.
The Sixth Squadron has been getting impatient lately, because the Sixth Squadron has not yet decided on a temporary base planet.
There are no A-level habitable planets, and even B-level habitable planets have only found 3, not to mention their small size, and the above environment alone will be directly removed from the candidate list, and they are not suitable for building temporary strongholds.
Of course, there are a lot of them, but who would build a temporary stronghold on a C-level habitable planet?
If only it had been before. If they find a C-level habitable planet, the team members will rush over to investigate it, but now they are not in the mood to look at the C-level. At present, the most important thing is to find a temporary base, as for other investigations or something, only after the construction of the temporary base is completed, there is no mental strength to do it, otherwise, there is not even a foothold, and there are those detachments in front of who have begun to build a stronghold and look at it with a smile, who is in the mood to investigate?
On the main starship, Shotton and the team of technicians were busy looking at the results sent back by probes everywhere, and the habitability of the surrounding planets was either C or D.
At the same time, these analysis results will be shared with each team after being processed by the technicians, so that everyone can also understand the situation.
With a bitter face, Kari leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the detection results sent by Shotton's main starship, and said in a wistful voice: "You say, are we too unlucky?" Otherwise, how could we have found those two stunted B-class planets by now? ”
Yudi glanced at him: "In such an environment, it would be good to be able to develop like that." ”
Kari snorted, "Are we really going to go back and build a stronghold on those stunted planets eventually?" Don't, it's embarrassing......"
Beaver looked at the summary of information collected in his hand over the past few days, and said helplessly: "No way, not every detachment can take shit luck." ”
Kari turned his head and looked at the fat white man in the corner who was rolling around with the dough, "Snowball, come and pinch it for my brother, let it out." ”
Snowball rolled out when she heard Kari's words, and she didn't hear any of Kari's shouts.
"Damn, this white fat man is really getting more and more unpleasant!"
"Kari, it's not that the snowball isn't likable, it's that you've recently had your period." Yudi said as he flicked the tail of the dough that jumped to his knees.
"You're just menstruating!"
Beaver heard the conversation between Cary and Yudi, shook his head, and forgot it, let the two of them argue. Looking at the analysis again, I looked at the outside on the big screen. They are now going to pass through a C-class planet, which is not bad in size, but according to the data sent back by the probe, it is really not suitable for landing, and the conditions of the planet classified as C-level in habitability can be better?
Many people think the same thing as Beaver, so the starships of the Sixth Fleet have no intention of staying.
But as he got closer and closer to the C-class habitable planet, the gray cat, who was sleeping on Xilin's shoulder, opened his eyes suddenly, and his ears were pricked forward.
"What's wrong?" Cillin asked in response to the gray cat.
"There's a situation, that planet...... Wrong! The gray cat stared at the picture displayed on the big screen. It was at that moment that the sight landed on a planet that was identified as a C-level habitable planet.
"What's wrong?"
The gray cat didn't speak, but Cillin saw that the gray cat's pupils dilated and contracted into the shape of a sword, something that could make the gray cat so interested......
Cillin immediately connected to Shoton's communicator.
"Captain. The starship stops for a moment, there's something. ”
"What's going on?" Shoton asked.
Now Shotton is not in a good mood, after all, the Sixth Squadron has not made progress so far, and it is Shotton who draws lots to determine the direction and route of each detachment. Now that they haven't run into a good planet all the way, the team members are starting to complain in their hearts, so the pressure on Shorten is quite high.
"Something to discover, I'd like to go to the planet that has been identified as C-level habitability." Cillin directly said what he thought.
Shoton frowned and was silent for a moment. He said, "Yes, how much support do you need?" ”
"No, just me and Snorr and Xiying."
"Give you three hours, and if you don't find anything, you'll be back immediately."
"Okay."
After Shotton ordered the starship to stop, there were technicians who complained, but Shotton didn't say anything about their complaints. Since you choose to believe in Xilin, you have to bear the pressure again.
Kari wanted to go with Sirin too. Rejected by Cillin.
Piloted a small flying machine. With the gray cat and the western shadow, he passed.
On this planet, the air is quite thin, so the cosmic rays are very strong, and the air composition is also harmful to human breathing, so Xilin walked out of the aircraft wearing protective clothing.
For the foothold, it is also pointed out by the gray cat.
Gray Cat and West Shadow are very comfortable. After stepping out of the aircraft. The gray cat kept running in one direction. Although there was nothing abnormal on the starship, there was movement after the aircraft was released. The light in his eyes flashed, apparently doing a deep scan.
It's like a plain. However, there are occasionally small protruding hills, and there are no towering mountains.
The gray cat seemed excited, not excited about food, but more like finding something fun.
Here, the general scanner machine failed, and the life indicator in Xilin's hand did not have any display, not even their life display, which was obviously a problem in this area.
Luckily, Xiying's operation was still normal, and through him, some images were transmitted to the starship, although it was a little discontinuous, but at least there were still images, which allowed the people on the starship to see the situation there.
Cillin's running footsteps stopped and looked around. He felt like there were a lot of eyes watching them in the dark.
"There are alien beings with a relatively high degree of evolution around!" Xiying said.
"Yes, but I just don't know what they are." After looking around, Cillin followed the gray cat and continued to walk.
On the starship, hearing the words of Xilin and Xiying, Shotton and the technicians were a little incredulous, according to the data detected by the probe, there are no high-level evolved life forms on this planet, there are microorganisms, but most of them survive in extreme environments, and there are some low-level single-celled organisms, plants, and low-level life.
The gray cat apparently didn't care about the sneaky gaze, but lowered its head and sniffed here and there, looking very happy.
"There's something down here, electronics, it's huge." The gray cat turned around and said excitedly to Cillin.
"How big?" Cillin asked.
"Where we landed and what we passed by, and what we are stepping on now, stretches into the distance, about one-fifth of the surface of the entire planet!"
Cillin squinted, although he felt some abnormalities after coming to this planet, he was not as sensitive as the gray cat's senses, and he didn't know what that feeling was, and he couldn't estimate the range of this feeling, but he was really surprised to hear the gray cat's words. Now he also had a faint feeling that someone on this planet seemed to have been here a long time ago, and he had made a lot of moves and kept something.
Mortar heard Shoton's words, and the news really frightened him, and he would not doubt Greycat's judgment, that is, there was something on this planet that interfered with the probe. In this way, the detected data is directly invalidated.
"Xilin, don't act yet. I'll send someone ......"
Before Shotton could finish his words, some dark shadows appeared on the screen.
Cillin looked at the figures coming out from behind the raised hills and took out his gun.
"That'...... What is that? A technician swallowed his spit.
Since it was night on that side, it was not clear what it was from the picture transmitted back from the Western Shadow. There is only a rough outline, more than two meters tall, like a scorpion standing up. In short, that's definitely not a person.
"Attention team, go to the rescue immediately!"
Shotton now had the hairs on his back standing on end. This planet is really weird, and now he regrets sending Xilin out.
Those things gradually multiplied, surrounding Xilin and them, forming an encirclement, and gradually shrinking the encirclement.
With the help of the not-so-bright starlight, Sirin could see the monsters clearly, their mouths triangular and several pairs of fangs. There are three pairs of chelicerae in the abdomen. Three pairs of clawed feet are pinned to the ground, with a cocked tail behind them.
With the appearance of these monsters, the temperature around them seems to drop a lot.
The gray cat still didn't look at the monsters, but kept spinning in circles, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Snorr, there is hostility. What to do? Cillin whispered.
These things that come out are definitely not easy to deal with, and there are so many of them. The aircraft is still some distance from here, and the situation is very unfavorable for Xilin. And here he is a real human being, and he is now the target of public criticism. Cillin was mad about the calm that the gray cat still maintained.
In response to Cillin's low roar, the gray cat just flicked its ears, then stopped and circled, and strings of green characters flashed quickly in its eyes.
Sirin and Shadow were back to back, ready to deal with the creatures that came step by step.
"Babble-"
A shrill roar pierced the silence.
This is the result of a monster at the forefront, and it is supposed to be their leader.
After this shrill roar, the monsters finally picked up speed and rushed towards Xilin.
Shoulder guns, wrist knives, and combination light guns are all ready.
But just as Sirin was about to fight, the monsters suddenly stopped and let out a low roar of unknown meaning.
"Babble-"
Another roar, but judging by the pitch, there was a clear difference from the one just now.
After this roar, the monsters that had rushed to a distance of seven or eight meters away from Xilin slowly retreated, and the support team sent by Shotton in the air gradually appeared.
"Don't come here yet! Don't fire either! Xilin said hurriedly.
Just now, the gray cat sent him a message.
Something underground, it's coming out.
After receiving Xilin's order, the fighters and aircraft that had already flown over Xilin did not land immediately, anyway, they had already come, and those monsters opened fire as soon as they moved.
"Vice, what the hell is going on......"
Before Kari could finish his words, he stared at the movement below. Others reacted similarly.
Boom Boom Boom –
The ground began to tremble.
The monsters quickly left the place, and soon disappeared without a trace, just as they had crept in before.
Sirin and Shadow stood there motionless, and the grey cat told them that there would be no danger here.
As the ground shook, the debris and dust on the surface of the protruding hills shook open, and then lit up at the same time. For a while, the originally dark night was illuminated.
The people in the starship were stunned when they saw this. Passing through the thin atmosphere, these bright lights are especially conspicuous in the darkness, and even without the images from the Western Shadow, the people on the starship can clearly see from space.
What does such a scenario represent?
It means that someone here has been here and built these facilities! And as it stands, such facilities have been around for a while.
Who built these, exactly?
Does the person who built these facilities have anything to do with the big planet where the military is stationed?
At the thought of this, the technicians on the starship were excited.
The small hill-like protrusions lit up, and the ground continued to shake until a quarter-spherical building rose from where the gray cat was.
The building was about fifteen meters away, and when it was raised, the gray cat stared at the building, a string of green flashing in its eyes.
The West Shadow disconnected from the starship's image transmission, looked at the rising building, and began to analyze.
The gray cat is decoding, and Xiying is learning this way of decoding. It's a rare opportunity to learn this from cyborgs.
Cillin looked at the building, and he knew that the gray cat's so-called decoding was "talking" to this or the huge machine underground. Although Cillin himself could not do such a "dialogue", he could "see" the mechanical language and "see" the communication between the gray cat and the building. I don't understand, it's just "seeing" something.
Two minutes later, the building of the quarter sphere opened to this section of their sector in Silin, and the following year it was converted into a passage.
"Let's go, just a few of us, the others are waiting outside, and there is only a dead end if you enter without permission." After saying that, the gray cat walked in with his tail cocked.
Xilin and Xiying walked in after the gray cat.
The gray cat's words were obviously said to the rest of the Sixth Fleet, which made the people who had just wanted to land and follow in to take a look.
"Captain, look ......" a member of the team asked Shotton directly.
"Wait around, do as it says, there's news from Xilin." Shotton said.
"Well, that's the way it goes."
"Take advantage of this time, you take a look at the surrounding environment, look for the lair of those monsters just now, and the second group of people will also arrive on the planet later."
After arranging the matter, Shotton took the aircraft and traveled with the second group to the planet that had previously been identified as C-level habitability.
Things didn't seem to be what they had imagined. To be continued.
