Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Planet Bruno (I)

Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, Robin stared blankly at the dark, deep and boundless starry sky outside the window like a sculpture, his eyes locked on the asteroid hiding behind the red Proxima Centauri, his shining eyes revealing uncontrollable excitement, but mixed with deep worry.

"Boss, you've been staring at that planet for so long, are you worried that it won't run?" With a lollipop in her mouth, Christine said wittily as she tapped on the computer keyboard.

"They...... I guess I've landed......" muttered to himself, Robin picked up a glass of liquor with a grim expression and poured it into his throat as if venting.

Remembering her duties as a secretary, Christine immediately looked at the record at hand: "In terms of time, it should be landing." ”

"I really don't know how they're doing now...... It is very dangerous to pass through an atmosphere of that thickness, and it is ...... Sixty times higher than the standard air pressure, if the air pressure in the ship's cabin is not adjusted in a transitional way, the human body may not be able to withstand such a drastic change in air pressure all at once. And there must not be any medical and protective supplies in that damn place...... Damn it! ~But don't let it rain! ”

Robin paced back and forth uneasily, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Have you delivered all the anti-corrosion equipment and medicines I ordered?" ”

"Lieutenant Barron has already counted a total of 70,000 sets of protective suits, including spare supplies, as well as various serums and antibiotics, all of which have been loaded onto the ship."

Christine's answer reassured Robin a little, and now that all preparations were in place, he could immediately go to that hellish place as long as he waited for the Ministry of Defense to send a prisoner of war handover notice.

"I'm going to make it...... So...... There must be no mistakes......"

Robin forcibly restrained his inner anxiety, closed his eyes and sat down on the sofa silently. In fact, he knew very well that it was useless for him to be anxious now, after all, that place was a prison, and it was held by prisoners of war from enemy countries, and it was already a big accident that it could be opened to the people. But it is precisely because of the hope of rescue that Robin is particularly afraid of failure. The weight of rescuing 60,000 of his compatriots made him feel like he was about to collapse, and it seemed that only choking on the liquor could calm his heart a little.

Seeing Robin pouring the liquor cup by glass, Christine was a little worried about Robin's condition, so she changed the subject and said, "Boss! ~The data has been fully transferred, hehe...... Old Jack is going crazy with his busyness now. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Christine's words, Robin's mind was really attracted, and he subconsciously asked, "Didn't you leave any horses?" ”

"Of course not, I'm an expert, how could I make such a rookie mistake." With a lollipop in her mouth, Christine looked back at Robin and asked, "Boss, isn't that Shaun already lending us his permission account, since we can access it at any time, why risk being found out to steal it?" ”

"Only what you have in your own hands is the most secure, you said, it's just borrowing." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Robin pointed to the starry sky in the north: "Our destination will be there, where we can avoid the eyes of the federal military and establish a world that truly belongs to us." However, we still need to defeat a strong enemy before we can do it, so we must grow our strength as much as possible during this time, and I will not miss any opportunity to increase our strength. ”

"You can do it, I believe in you, and everyone in the fleet believes in you. You're a miracle child, everybody says so. ”

"Miracle Child ......"

Silently chewing on the title, Robin shook his head with a wry smile and drank the liquor from his glass.

…… Three hours later, Bruno planet.

Six black ladybug-shaped spaceships broke through the thick orange-yellow lead clouds of Bruno and staggered towards Maxwell Mountains, the highest point on the ground of Bruno, amid lightning in the sky.

At an altitude of 11,000 meters, the Maxwell Mountains are the highest mountains on any planet known to be, and the Laxmi Plateau, where the Maxwell Mountains are located, is home to Bruno Prison. The six spaceships, carrying 60,000 prisoners of war from the Republic, went there.

"This damn planet! ~”

In the bridge of the flagship, a federal lieutenant with tattoos on his arm gripped the handrail with a hideous face, and on his face, countless capillaries appeared densely, and in his nostrils, red nosebleeds flowed down, instantly staining the clothes on his chest.

Not only him, but all the crew members on the bridge were like demons at the moment, and even several infirm people had fainted directly and were receiving emergency treatment from doctors.

The reason for this state of affairs is the terrifying atmospheric pressure of Bruno planet.

As human beings born on the earth, although space humans in the new era already have a certain immunity to the harsh space environment, it is still a heavy burden on the body to adapt to the 60-fold change in air pressure in a short period of time.

Sixty times the atmospheric pressure, in terms of pressure index, is equivalent to the pressure of the ocean at a depth of 600 meters. However, although this sounds scary, in fact, when the body has passed the adjustment period, sixty times the atmospheric pressure is not a pressure that humans cannot withstand at present.

Just as there are still fish alive in the 10,000-meter deep sea, the water pressure in the 10,000-meter deep sea is enough to squeeze an iron ball, but the fish rely on the water pressure in their bodies to be consistent with the outside world, and perfectly resolve the terrifying pressure of the outside world. Therefore, the same applies to humans. It is only during the period when the air pressure in the body is rapidly adjusting that humans can feel the power from the planet Bruno.

"Whew! ~”

Desperately trying to survive this most difficult period, the Air Force lieutenant named Chebman let out a long breath as if he had been drained of strength, and wiped the blood from his jaw dripping. The others also lay down in their seats in relief.

"You're all alive, aren't you?" Lighting a cigar, the rugged-looking Chebman strode off the captain's platform, like a pirate captain of the old days, and scrutinized his soldiers viciously.

"There are three people with ruptured internal organs and one person with a cerebral hemorrhage, and after treatment, there should be no major problems." The ship's first mate replied with difficulty.

"Damn, go back and tell the quartermaster that we've got fourteen of us seriously wounded and dying, and let those damn bastards give us a pension." Blowing out a thick puff of smoke, Chebman dragged away the rickety first mate and said viciously, "I heard that those guys from the Othello Star Army Department are selling this place for money. Damn, Lao Tzu has shed so much blood, he can't get a dime, these shit! ~”

"According to the mission procedure, don't we still have to hand over to the merchant who bought this land, we have sent him 60,000 free laborers, and he may treat us......" Lieutenant Chebman's expression said, the first mate said tentatively.

"That's right! ~" Lieutenant Chebman, who came to his senses, patted the bony shoulder of the first mate hard, and laughed with yellow teeth: "It's not that I can't say, but we must be treated, hahaha......"

As soon as he spoke, the six 8,000-ton transport ships had already arrived over the Maxwell Mountains.

The Laxmi Plateau, where the Maxwell Mountains are located, is the largest plateau on Bruno, with a total area roughly the size of Australia. And, since 90 percent of Bruno's crust is made of basalt lava, the Laxmi Plateau is strikingly landscaped with steep mountains, craggy cliffs, numerous shield volcanoes, and a huge canyon that stretches for 1,200 kilometers. At this moment, the six low-flying 'Beetle' landing transport ships flew close to the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, and the spectacular landform features along the way made even those soldiers who had been here in the past couldn't help but be amazed.

After flying to the end of the canyon, the six Beetle-type landing transports anchored at the foot of Maxwell's peak. A rudimentary entry was built here, and groups of ragged and supportive prisoners of war were disembarked.

All the prisoners of war were expelled from the cabin, and the captains of the transports sailed away without even checking whether the prisoners had entered the entrance of the prison on their own, heading straight for the towering peaks of Maxwell Mountain.

Bruno Prison, built in the Maxwell Mountains, has been used for commercial purposes for several years, so with a peak of Mount Maxwell at an altitude of 11,000 meters and relatively low atmospheric pressure, the Federation has built a small base. It is used by prison guards and managers of mining companies to live, and when prisoners are brought in by the military or police, they are handed over here.

However, due to the harsh nature of Bruno and the heavy labor required during their sentences, few prisoners made it past two years. In addition, Bruno Prison is arguably the only safe place on the entire planet of Bruno, so the police are not worried at all that anyone will escape from prison. As a result, the security of Bruno Prison was quite lax, and many of the prison guards who were arranged here left without permission, and only a few people stayed at the base on Maxwell's peak all year round.

This time, the military sent 60,000 prisoners of war to Bruno prison at one time, which can be said to be unprecedented. Therefore, as soon as they received the news, these prison guards who were about to go crazy in the base were ready to receive them, planning to entertain these soldiers who would leave after escorting the prisoners of war, hoping to beg them to take them out of this ghost place.
