Chapter 1: Steel Base

A silver-white steel fortress abruptly erected on a desolate yellow-brown plain.

The plain stretches as far as the eye can see, and several low mountains of the same color stand lonely in their place, and there is not a trace of green in the whole plain.

About ten kilometers from the Silver Fortress was a huge mine, and many huge machines lay silently at the bottom of the pit.

Between the pit and the fortress is a factory-like building, which is the concentrator.

The silvery-white steel fortress is not large, with a circular shape, about a kilometer in diameter, and the fortress wall is ten meters high, which is spliced together by thick alloy steel plates.

On the inner side of the wall, about one and a half meters from the top of the wall, there is a three-meter-wide platform, which is the combat platform on which the soldiers defend against external enemies in the event of an external attack on the fortress.

On the platform, every thirty meters, there is a large heavy weapon, this kind of guy that looks a bit like a heavy machine gun in the old era, called "high-speed electromagnetic machine gun".

Controlled by intelligent systems in the fortress, they have an extremely high rate of fire capable of forming an electromagnetic torrent of more than six thousand rounds per minute, and the electromagnetic gun energy is provided by fusion reactors in heavy energy ships in the base, which is almost endless.

On the combat platform, some tall figures are patrolling, and from their steel appearance, they look a bit like robots, but in reality these are not robots, these are Federation soldiers wearing full-coverage mechanical armor.

Inside the towering enclosure was a ring of tall barracks, which surrounded a huge square on which seven or eight medium transport landing ships were parked.

This steel fortress was formerly the mining base of an open-pit steel mine on Resource Star 19 in the Erfa Star Sector, since the Alpha Star Sector was attacked by an alien race and led to the loss of Colony 3. The civilians on Resource 19 have been evacuated, and the Alpha Sector Command has sent a large number of troops here. Dozens of mining bases on Resource 19 have been converted into temporary battle fortresses.

The fort was named Fort No. 13.

Resource 19 is very special, there is very little water on this planet. There is basically no large-scale life, but this planet has plenty of oxygen, and there are no harmful gases in the atmosphere, so it has no future as a colony star, but as a resource star, its environment is quite superior, at least the workers don't have to wear annoying protective clothing when mining.

The bad news ahead came one by one, and it was said that eleven planets had been lost, including three colony stars and eight resource stars. The Federation had to heavily force its troops on Resource 19. Because behind the 19th resource star is the capital of the Alpha Star Zone, the rich and beautiful Alpha Star.

In one of the many barracks in the fortress, Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes.

It is a simple, futuristic room, with walls, floors, and roofs all made of an unknown gray material.

Bai Qi was lying on a bed at this time, with an electronic instrument at the head of the bed that he couldn't read, and a small wardrobe at the end of the bed.

As Bai Qi opened his eyes, a familiar electronic voice sounded in his head, "Soldier....... There's still a minute left until the mission starts, so be prepared. ”

Bai Qi was not alone in this room that was obviously like a barracks, in fact, there were ten identical beds in the room, and Bai Qi woke up. The rest of the people in the bed also woke up one after another.

Bai Qi's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces, there were a total of seven people in the back team. One is not less, which undoubtedly makes Bai Qi extremely satisfied.

The team members who woke up all automatically concentrated around Bai Qi.

This scene surprised the other three people in the same barracks.

All three were third-level professionals who had been forcibly recruited. One of them was the captain of a medium-sized team of renegades, and the other two were members of larger teams. Because he asked the boss to form a team to help, he was ruthlessly kicked out of the team.

Because of what happened to them, they were a little surprised and ...... for these seven people who obviously belonged to the same team Jealous.

What surprised them even more was the strength and strangeness of this squad.

With four Level 3 Professionals and three Level 2 Professionals, even if this is all the members of this team, it is already quite strong and should never be nameless.

Just when the three of them were in shock, the system prompt sounded in everyone's minds again, "Soldier...... The world of despair mission is officially opened, your identity in this world is a member of the federal army special forces, the federal army special forces are all super soldiers produced by genetic technology, in order to give full play to your strong personal combat effectiveness, the star sector command has decided to grant you the right to move freely, will not give you specific orders, but in the form of tasks, convey indirect orders, and you can decide the specific battle plan. ”

"Soldier...... You accept the base mission 'Defend the base'. ”

"Basic Quest 'Defend the Base' (Advanced Tier): Defend Resource Star 19 and Fort 13 for three months."

"You can receive other missions in the command hall, and you will receive federal merit points for completing the tasks, and federal merit points can increase your military rank in this world, and you are currently a sergeant, and you can apply to dispatch and command three federal squads, that is, thirty federal soldiers. It is also possible to apply to the military for supplies with a total amount of not more than 300,000 federal dollars. ”

"If you manage to hold the fort until reinforcements arrive, or if you completely remove the threat to the fort, as a reward, you will be able to exchange your exploits in this world for high-tech items that can be taken out of this world in the supply warehouse of Fort 13."

As the system prompt sounded, the barracks gate automatically slid open.

Bai Qi immediately walked out with his men.

Outside the barracks was a huge hall, which was divided into a dozen sections, each of which contained a long table and a circle of chairs, on which were covered with battle maps.

Bai Qi glanced at the hall, which was obviously a combat discussion area reserved for the space warrior team.

However, Bai Qi looked at the space warriors who came out of the barracks around the hall in twos and threes, with gloomy faces, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, thinking, "In this mission space, I don't know how many teams can remain intact?" ”

Bai Qi quickly collected his feelings and motioned to the captain to stay in the hall to observe the situation, while he led the others through the hall and left the huge barracks.

Walking out of the barracks gate, there was a huge square outside, and there were seven or eight huge flying boats with a length of nearly fifty meters parked in the square.

Hundreds of small and medium-sized warships were parked around these transports.

There were more than fifty buildings around the square that were identical to the barracks behind Bai Qi, and if all of them were filled with soldiers, then there should be almost 10,000 Federation soldiers stationed in this base.

At the door of the barracks on the left side of the space soldier barracks, there is a group of fighters training, and at the door of the barracks on the right, several fighters are sitting on an infantry fighting vehicle watching the excitement.

Bai Qi turned around and walked towards the barracks on the right. (To be continued......)
