Chapter 2: The Lost Star

The area in which the five men are located is in the middle of an oval white metal object, and the five men sit with their backs to each other in this circular command area. The cramped office space www.biquge.info the Fun Pavilion doesn't even fit a screen, and all the information is presented only through the VR battle headset that everyone wears.

"Infrared radar scanning: no organisms found within 300 kilometers."

"Sonar radar scanning: no movable organisms found within fifty kilometers."

"Outdoor environment scan: the temperature is minus 1 degree, the air quality is 92% similar to the earth, there is no corrosive or dangerous radiation, and the magnetic field is similar to the ...... of the earth"

"Determine that it is safe, the base can be deployed, and whether the deployment order is executed."

"The base is in the middle of ......"

As the messages flew in front of Luo Wenjun's eyes, the silver-white oval metal object began to slowly stretch, like an octopus hiding its tentacles, slowly stretching out its tentacles at this time.

When the stretch ended, the exploration base revealed its full appearance. The silvery-white metal body in the middle is the main body of the detection base, which is an oval with a height of four meters, a maximum of fifteen meters, and a maximum width of eight meters. Eight storage silos with a length of 10 meters and a width of 2 meters each extend from the perimeter of the main body of the base, and when viewed from a high altitude, the entire base is like an octopus full of science and technology.

"The base is deployed, and the electromagnetic shield is put on standby; Anti-aircraft missiles and ground-to-ground missiles have been put on standby. Report to the Commander, the base is deployed. ”

Although the operation was almost completely automated, Luo Wenjun only needed to carry out the yes and no orders, but after all, it was the first time to carry out a real task, and he was still a little nervous, and when he saw the base unfolding smoothly, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

As an old fritter, Song Zixiao was obviously much calmer, and he quickly issued the next order: "The construction of the periphery of the base begins." ”

Cao Xiaoke's excited voice trembled slightly: "The construction of the periphery of the base has begun, the construction storage warehouse has been opened, the construction robot has been released, and the primary construction task is now taken over by the system AI." ”

With a loud sound, a metal plate on one side of the storage bin slowly lowered to the ground, forming a ramp between the storage bin and the ground. Four crawler robots emerged steadily and briskly from the open side of the storage silo and drove down the ramp to the surface. The robot's tracks left deep rut marks on the ground through a thin layer of freshly gathered snow, and it was clear that the robot was much heavier than it looked. This is obviously the construction robot that Cao Xiaoke is talking about.

These four crawler robots all have four flexible tentacles, and under the command of the system AI, they quickly began to brave the wind and snow to clear the snow around the base and clear a certain area for the peripheral construction.

Song Zixiao immediately issued two follow-up orders: "Start the flight reconnaissance within a range of 200 kilometers, and the combat units will begin to carry out the base alert mission." ”

"The battle storage bin is opened, the combat robot is released, and the current combat index is safe, and a combat team is released, and the system AI will take over the command." The voice of the fighter commander Gao Ji was very steady, and he couldn't hear too much emotion.

The metal plate on the same side of the other storage bin was slowly lowered to the ground, and five combat robots walked along the ramp to the ground with a steady pace, and quickly began to patrol in the wind and snow under the command of the system AI.

These five combat robots are much more high-end than the construction robots look.

Three are of Leopard structure, equipped with high-explosive submachine guns, caliber 7 mm, effective range of 900 meters, maximum ammunition capacity of 5,000 rounds, conventional ammunition capacity of 3,000 rounds; It is equipped with a rocket launcher, with a maximum ammunition capacity of 6 rounds and a conventional ammunition capacity of 2 rounds. Light bulletproof armor plates are installed on important parts of the body, and high-carbon steel barbed devices are installed on the other four claws, with a maximum of 15 cm in the piercing state, 3 cm in width, and 5 cm exposed in the folded state. Equipped with a 500-meter infrared detection radar.

The full name is the Leopard Scout Type 06, powered by electric energy, and can maintain a combat state for 24 hours at a charge, and a normal state for 7 days.

a spider structure, equipped with an anti-materiel sniper rifle, caliber 15 mm, effective range of 3000 meters, maximum ammunition allocation of 200 rounds, conventional ammunition allocation of 50 rounds; One six-barreled revolver, with a maximum ammunition capacity of 3,000 rounds and a conventional ammunition capacity of 1,000 rounds. Equipped with a stealth layer, it can be invisible under infrared detection; It is also equipped with a trapping net, which has great climbing ability. It is completely unarmored and equipped with a 1000-meter infrared detection radar.

The full name is the spider special type 03, driven by electric energy, and can maintain a combat state for 24 hours and a normal state for 10 days at a charge.

One bear structure, equipped with two six-barreled revolver machine guns, caliber 9 mm, with a maximum ammunition capacity of 10,000 rounds and a conventional ammunition capacity of 3,000 rounds; equipped with two miniature infrared missiles; It is equipped with a rapid-fire armor-piercing cannon with a maximum ammunition capacity of 50 rounds and a conventional ammunition capacity of 10 rounds. Medium bulletproof armor and a primary-level energy shield are added to the body.

The full name is the Bear Defender, and the miniature nuclear energy is activated, which can maintain a combat state for fifteen days and a regular state for one hundred days.

Wang Xiaoshi saw those robots coming out from the surveillance camera before he slowly operated: "The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was released, and the system AI took over to conduct reconnaissance with a radius of 200 kilometers." ”

A circular hole opened at the top of the main body of the base, and an unmanned reconnaissance plane about 1.5 meters long circled up, selected a direction, and then flew out with a buzz. Judging by the noise and the dilapidated fuselage, it is clear that this is a classic aircraft.

With everything in order, the robots outside the base have also been put in place, and Song Zixiao issued a final command: "The command room has been expanded to a garrisoned state." ”

Luo Wenjun immediately agreed: "Received, the command room is expanded." ”

There was another buzz of the machine, and the walls of the small command room where several people were sitting slowly expanded in all directions, and as the area continued to increase, the command room console, electronic screens, small conference tables, small kitchens, and small toilets appeared one after another, and there was even a ring of transparent glass windows on the wall. After finally forming a working living area of nearly 80 square meters, everything returned to peace.

Cao Xiaoke took off the equipment on his body, and excitedly walked to the window to look out: "The snow is so big, this is the snow of an alien planet." ”

Luo Wenjun also squeezed over, his face full of curiosity: "It seems that it is no different from the earth, and my hometown also has such a heavy snow in winter." ”

Wang Xiaoshi threw the equipment on the table in front of him and stretched a long waist on the seat: "What's there to see, didn't you watch the detection video before you came, this planet doesn't even have a hair." ”

Cao Xiaoke beckoned to him: "The primary detection is all foolishness, where there is snow and water, and the temperature and environment are just right, I don't believe that this planet will be free of life." Besides, it's good to see the robots at work, after all, it's our first time on a mission. ”

Wang Xiaoshi's body sank deeper in the chair: "Robot...... These are all antiques from hundreds of years ago, and at most they are used to kill rabbits. The robots in the first-level expedition team are all equipped with laser lasers or something, and look at our ...... again."

Gao Ji stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "It's good to be able to kill rabbits, I'm afraid there aren't even rabbits on this planet." ”

Wang Xiaoshi smiled, called up the surveillance screen of the unmanned reconnaissance plane on the electronic screen, and began to monitor the reconnaissance situation with a distracted look. In fact, there is almost nothing on the screen except for a piece of snow white. Those messy wind and snow, this kind of old-fashioned unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can't catch it at all, Wang Xiaoshi is like facing a TV with only black and white snowflakes at the moment.

Song Zixiao looked around at everyone, as if he saw himself on his first mission. The teammates were excited, dazed, and numb, just like the scene now. It's just that more than ten years have passed, but he is still stuck at this stage, commanding these ragged robots.

In fact, it is understandable, after all, the earth's resources are now unprecedentedly tight, and for this less important planetary exploration, it is most reasonable to adopt the method of waste utilization. Of course, in the eyes of those at the top, waste should not only refer to those robots.

Wang Xiaoshi stared at the black and white snowflakes on the screen in a trance, as if he saw his life trajectory in the black and white snowflakes - it was a straight line, without ups and downs to the end.

This is indeed an era of unprecedented human expansion, but what does all this have to do with oneself?

No father, no mother, no one. No house, no car, proletariat. In the future, no girl will fall in love with her, let alone have the opportunity to come into contact with the unattainable genetic enhancement liquid. He was born a poor man, and when he died, he was a poor ghost. Thinking like this, a nervous smile appeared in the corners of Wang Xiaoshi's eyes.

At this moment, a black block appeared to flash in the surveillance screen of the reconnaissance plane. Wang Xiaoshi's thoughts were disrupted by this black block, and he sat up with a suspicious face.

He pulls up the first 5 minutes from the cache and fast-forwards. Soon the black square flashed again. Wang Xiaoshi became a little alert, and he retreated to the picture where black squares appeared frame by frame to take a closer look, almost wanting to put his eyes into the screen.

The sudden appearance of such a black square on the snow-white earth really makes people suspicious. Wang Xiaoshi tried to enlarge the picture several times, trying to see what it was, but unfortunately the old-fashioned reconnaissance plane really couldn't shoot any high-definition picture quality in such a snowstorm, and it became countless sharp teeth when it was slightly enlarged, as if it was a mosaic full of screens.

The others noticed Wang Xiaoshi's strange appearance and gathered around.

Song Zixiao looked at the black square, his face was a little not good-looking, and asked Wang Xiaoshi, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Xiaoshi stared at the black square: "Boxy, such a standard, if it weren't for the magic of nature...... That means ......"

"There are intelligent beings on this planet...... Gao Ji said the answer for him.
