Chapter 55: The Land of Ice and Snow in the Universe (Part I)

After some detailed tests, Robin has roughly mastered the basic characteristics and various data of the Type 3 armor.

Although in terms of the special abilities attached to the armor, Robin has not yet come to an accurate conclusion. However, as far as the basic surname of armor is concerned, there is almost no difference between the one-star Type 3 armor and the two-star Type 3 armor and the original Type 3 armor of the basic type, so even if there is a lack of surname, it does not affect their use value. Therefore, Robin is ready to distribute these three precious Type 3 armor samples first, and use them as ordinary Type 3 armor for the time being.

Combining the personal characteristics of the previous owners of the three Type 3 armors and the basic data obtained during the test, Robin assigned Pete's original Type 3 armor to Lee, Auston's two-star Type 3 armor to Zolo, and Armstrong's one-star Type 3 armor himself.

During the tests, Robin found that although the basic data of the three Type 3 armors were roughly the same, there were some minor differences. In addition, the Auston team belongs to the Knights of the Twin Stars, so their personal equipment is basically marked with a strong personal imprint. Therefore, in terms of the details of the armor and the characteristics of the surname, they are also completely combined with their functions in the squad, so Robin's assignment this time is mainly aimed at the characteristics of each person.

The original Type 3 armor was assigned to Lee because Lee and Pete were both snipers. And during the Battle of Pluto, Lee captured Pete's Gauss sniper rifle as a trophy, so now when combined with the original Type 3 armor, it can be put together in a group.

In addition, Lee's special ability 'Hawkeye' is a special ability of the support type, and this special ability will not be affected by the heavy infantry armor, so after assigning Pete's original Type 3 armor to Lee, as long as some minor changes are made, his combat effectiveness can be used immediately.

The assignment of Auston's two-star Type 3 armor to Zoro was due to Robin's consideration of the fact that Zoro and Auston both belong to the Speed Warrior. And Zhuo Luo was obviously very concerned about his defeat in that battle, so although he never said anything, he secretly honed his speed in the training room, and tried to simulate Auston's 'blitzkrieg', preparing to use it as his breakthrough direction.

The high-level special ability of 'Blitz' is not in the list of the twelve special abilities of the Republic, so there is no auxiliary potion for 'Blitz' in the Republic, but for some reason, Robin firmly believes that Zoro will be able to complete the fusion of 'Blitzkrieg' by his own strength, so assigning Auston's two-star Type 3 armor to Zoro is the best choice in his opinion.

As for himself, the choice of Armstrong's One-Star Type 3 armor was actually a helpless move. In terms of personal characteristics, although he and Armstrong are both melee fighters, the size difference between the two is too large, so the extent of the armor changes is undoubtedly the largest. Moreover, Armstrong's role in the squad is the backbone of defense, so his function is to attack and defend. But Robin is different, he is an absolute assault in the team, and belongs to the most versatile person, which makes his function not as single as Armstrong's, and the requirements for armor are undoubtedly much higher.

However, due to his 'subtlety', Robin is confident that he can adapt to the armor's flaws more than anyone else. And in terms of the development of special abilities, he is also ready to use the defensive 'King Kong' as a breakthrough, and now there is Old Jack, a master mechanic, so he is confident that he can complete a large-scale modification of the one-star Type 3 armor.

27 hours later.

The transport formation, led by the TR-735, completely broke away from the defensive radius of the Marseille Space Fortress and left the radiation range of the solar wind, which also means that they have completely left the solar system and entered the vast empty space between the galaxies. On the new-age star chart, this is called a public star field.

Beyond the public star field is the huge Kuiper Strip.

The Kuiper Belt is an asteroid belt composed of countless small celestial bodies, and the asteroid belts form a ring structure with each other, so the Kuiper Belt is also named the Kuiper Ring.

Pluto, where Robin fought, is located on the edge of the Kuiper Belt, so Pluto, which is structurally similar to the bodies in the Kuiper Belt, was once considered part of the asteroid belt within the Kuiper Ring.

As for the origin of the Kuiper rings, the Kuiper Zones are considered by the Kuiper Zones to be the remnants of the solar nebulae when they first formed the Sun and the solar system. These remnants form huge ice-crystal-shaped objects at the edge of the solar wind, and most of the short-period comets that pass through the solar system come from Kuiper's rings. Some long-period comets are derived from the larger Ultra Nebula outside Kuiper's rings.

The Kuiper rings and the globular Ultranebula enclose the solar system like two cages, and the only known route to travel from the solar system to other galaxies is a small r-n black hole hidden in the Kuiper Belt fault.

R-n black holes are non-rotating black holes, in the father of wormholes, Martin? In Hervey's theory, black holes that serve as wormhole entrances are divided into four categories: R-n black holes, Kerr black holes, Kerr-Newman black holes, and binary black holes.

These four types of black holes are all passageways into the four-dimensional space, and they are clearly distinguished from each other. Among them, the shortest distance confirmed is the binary black hole. Binary black holes are black holes that form binary structures with other stars, and their four-dimensional spatial paths are relatively clear, so they are often used as short-distance jumps in large star systems. The R-N black hole that exists in a single star system like the solar system is also a four-dimensional space channel with a short distance, and through the r-n black hole, the spaceship can reach any star system in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, where the solar system is located.

The Galaxy is a giant spiral galaxy with four spiral arms, including the Orion arm, with a total of 200 billion stars. The passage of the r-n black hole is limited to the Orion arm, so the solar system that only has one r-n black hole cannot rely on its own black hole to travel to other galaxies in the three spiral arms: the Sagittarius arm, the Perseus arm, and the Swan arm.

To break away from the Orion Arm, it is necessary to use the Kerr Black Hole, a long-distance space jump channel. But although the Kerr black hole can reach any galaxy in the Milky Way, it cannot get the spaceship out of the Milky Way. To get to the Great Magellanic Galaxy or other extragalactic galaxies in the vast universe, the Kerr-Newman black hole is the only entrance.

The four-dimensional entrance to the space composed of these four different types of black holes allows humans to theoretically reach any place in the universe. However, for the solar system and the nine-star republics, the R-N black hole in the Kuiper ring fault is their only exit from the solar system.

This time, Robin's TR-735 transport group was tasked with collecting gas and ice crystal samples in the nearby Kuiper Belt. The location they headed for happened to be close to the R-N black hole in the Kuiper Ring Fault, so after the fleet arrived at the Kuiper Belt, Captain Cecilia immediately ordered the crew to be on alert, reduce their speed, and slowly sail into the spectacular ice and snow world of the Kuiper Belt.

Before the fleet entered the Kuiper Belt, Old Jack led his mechanical squad to complete the engine transformation, so when Cecilia canceled the autopilot and changed to semi-autopilot, she immediately found that the TR-735, which was not very obedient in the past, was much more dexterous, and it was no longer as difficult to control as usual when accelerating and decelerating suddenly.

Aware of this, Borg, who had been observing the ship's navigation data, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he also agreed a little more with the bad old man who dared to roar loudly with him in the power cabin.

At this moment, as the ship entered a state of alert, Robin, who was the commander of the aviation marines, also put down the test of Type 3 armor, and after telling Old Jack the data of each group and the general direction of modification, he came to the bridge of the TR-735 ship.

Through the huge bridge window of the bridge, Robin, who was standing behind Cecilia, looked at the spectacular scene in front of him with shocked eyes, and the shock was so strong that he was almost speechless in shock.

Until then, he had always thought that the word spectacular only applied to land, and that only the awkward features of the planet could be described by the word magnificent. For the dark and vast starry sky, he, like Zhuo Luo, actually didn't have much affection.

And now, after seeing the mythical Kuiper belt, he understands why Cecilia is so obsessed with the stars.

Unlike the dark and vast starry sky that he had always known, in the Kuiper Belt, the starry sky is no longer simply black. Countless huge ice crystals float around the ship, decorating the universe into a wonderful world of crystal clear.

The diamond-shaped ice crystals appeared on the canopy like floating mountains in ancient mythology, and the fanged ice cubes formed a ring of celestial bodies under the action of gravity and orbit, and even deeper in the Kuiper Belt, Robin saw more spectacular spiral objects composed of countless large ice crystals, and giant celestial bodies with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers and covered with countless strange ice caves.

"It's so beautiful...... I can't believe that there is such a place in the universe......"

Robin stared at everything in front of him in amazement, and the other crew members around him also had similar expressions, and they were all fascinated by the magnificent scenery in front of him.

But compared to Robin, Cecilia, who has always been obsessed with the starry sky, looks nervous. She bit her lip and was engrossed in steering the ship carefully between the dazzling ice crystals.

Perhaps her otherness made her look a little strange, but in fact, it was because she was so fascinated by the stars that she knew better than anyone the dangers hidden in the beautiful scenery before her.
