Chapter 34: The Desolate Planet
Eugene sat alertly in a small landing ship, constantly checking the situation below through his personal terminal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Due to his outstanding performance in the Martian underground base, Private Eugene was finally promoted, and now he is a sergeant, and he has become a squad leader of the Pioneer Regiment, and there are eight or nine brothers under him. I remember the day I was promoted, Eugene gave Miss Marilena the pink crystals collected in the underground base, and received a warm hug and kiss from Mariliana. Perhaps it won't be long before the beautiful Marilena will be renamed Lady Eugene, Eugene thought happily.
The Vanguard Regiment is not a death squad, in fact it is a very popular force, and many people are eager to be a part of it. The members of the Pioneer Regiment are mainly composed of veterans of a hundred battles who have experienced actual combat. This is just a prerequisite for becoming a member of the Pioneer Regiment, and in the subsequent layers of review, there are strict requirements for the soldier's age, physical fitness, mental strength, reaction speed, etc. The main task of the Pioneer Regiment is to explore unfamiliar areas in advance of the fleet, discover and mark dangerous areas, and explore precious resources. It seems that the soldiers of the vanguard regiment are like the spearhead of the fleet, and they are killed by guns, but they are not. The Vanguard Regiment is equipped with the best equipment of the fleet, the strongest armor, the most powerful individual weapons, and is a group of bloodthirsty monsters armed to the teeth, so the safety of the Vanguard Regiment is the most guaranteed. Another benefit of joining the Vanguard Regiment is that the resources found by the Soldier can be shared with one thousandth of the benefits of the resources found, in addition to a large number of contribution points. Don't look at it as only one thousandth, if it is a large number of precious metals, it will be rich overnight. Therefore, the vanguard group is also widely regarded as the easiest place to become rich.
After completing the initial salvage of the ruins, the follow-up work has been taken over by a private salvage company, and the pioneer group is divided into three parts to search for the three living planets. Yu Jin is in the third squad of the ninth company of the third battalion of the pioneer regiment, and the third battalion is responsible for the third living planet farthest from the star. This planet revolves around a giant planet like the Pandora planet described in the movie "Avatar", such a life planet is universal in the universe, although the intensity of sunlight is not enough, but the heat of the planet does not come from the stars, but the heat generated by the deformation caused by the attraction of the giant planet. Such a planet does not have obvious seasonal changes, and is warm and humid all year round. But at this moment, the planet in Eugene's eyes is a different and terrifying sight. The whole planet is like a full-fledged ice age, with a thick layer of ice and snow covering everything, and the whole planet is left with nothing but white, it is a world of death.
"Sparrow, activate the scanner to scan the ground deep and map out the terrain beneath the ice." Eugene commanded to the fighters piloting the landing ship. The all-terrain scanning radar was originally intended to explore larger asteroids, but I didn't expect it to come in handy here.
"Eagle received," said the soldier piloting the landing ship, and then turned on the radar, and the team's personal terminal immediately showed a topographic map below the ice sheet of two hundred meters.
"It's not as big as the expedition team's expedition ship, and it's embarrassing to call it an eagle, and a sparrow is about the same." Eugene sneered. Immediately there was a chorus of approval from the fleet.
"Hey, chief, wait, one day I'll be the captain of a destroyer," the pilot, Sparrow, said loudly.
"It's still a sparrow!" The other person said. Then there was another burst of laughter from the fleet.
"Stop!" Youjin looked at the map and suddenly commanded loudly.
"What's wrong, squad leader?" The soldiers were inexplicably shouted by Eugene's voice.
"Sparrow, fly slowly around this place within a radius of ten kilometers, and give me a careful scan of this area." Eugene commanded.
"Yes!" The landing ship hovering in the air immediately moved slowly, and it didn't take long to completely scan the area.
"What's down here?" A soldier asked, looking at the map, incredulously.
"The ruins of a city!" Eugene replied. "Guys, we've found our goal, we need to be positive, I want to buy my own ship when I go back."
"We want to too," the soldiers said with a haha.
"Alright, hurry up and get ready! We're lucky, the city seems to be quite large, and we might be able to make a big discovery. I don't know what happened to the other squads, we can't afford to be left behind, but my luck in Eugene is pretty good. Eugene said happily.
"Squad leader, do you want to report the situation to the top." Sparrow asked.
"Then we still need to ask, how to credit us if we don't report, who will rescue us if there is a danger." Eugene said with a roll of his eyes.
"More than 200 meters of ice, how can we go down?" A soldier asked, scratching his head.
"Doesn't the landing ship have small energy cannons? You can't just break through the ice, it's stupid. By the way, you must make a hole at an angle, don't hit it vertically, don't go down and can't get up when the time comes. Eugene reminded.
"Squad leader, individual mechs have flight functions," the soldier cautiously reminded.
"Of course I know that, but do you think you can use the mecha below? We're going to have to keep opening the way down. The whole city was covered in snow, and there was no space underneath. The old cities have collapsed into ruins. Eugene said in a deep voice.
"And where do we get in from?" A GI asked with a headache.
"Here!" Eugene pointed to the map and said, "This building is the tallest building in the city, and it is still very complete from the image, which shows that this building is very strong, and I think it must have a very special status and function to be able to build such a strong building." Perhaps we can find something out of it. ”
"Makes sense"
"By the way, sparrow, be careful when you make a hole, don't bomb the house too," Eugene reminded again, just in case.
A pale green beam of energy swept through, and the originally solid ice surface immediately melted, and a hole with a diameter of more than twenty meters appeared in front of Eugene and them.
"Pack up your clothes and carry as much of everything as possible, it won't be convenient to resupply when you get down. Bring all five assistant robots, fill the supply box with spare weapons and energy, armor must be worn, there is a large dose of radiation outside, and staying below is lethal. Eugene said to the fighters in a combat uniform and armored, with a tactical helmet on.
"Boom!" The hatch slammed into the ice, and the group quickly stepped off the transport, exploring the passage under the cover of a spider-type tank. The Spider Tank is a simplified version of the heavy mecha, designed and produced by the fleet itself, and looks more like a large armored personnel carrier, except that the eight wheels have been replaced with eight mechanical legs and a new type of alloy armor, and it is equipped with a small laser cannon, two small electromagnetic cannons and eight electromagnetic machine gun arrays, so it is called the Spider Tank. There is a lot of space inside the Spider Tank, and the soldiers can put on their armor and use it inside. After the group boarded the spider tank, the tank quickly ran towards the destination.
With a "boom", the sturdy building gate was chiseled through by a tank, and the group rode Tucker into the building. The furnishings were rather chaotic, the debris was scattered all over the ground, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground, the tank's mechanical legs had stepped on it, and the white light of the searchlight shone through the white expanse, obscuring the team's vision like a sandstorm. The hatch opened, and the group stepped out of the tank and scattered to search the interior of the building.
"Looks like they evacuated in a hurry," Eugene said, looking at the chaos in the hall.
"Squad leader, have you noticed that this building is too tall, let's just say that these gates are more than ten meters high, and our tanks can drive through." The sound of sparrows came from the lines of communication.
"Don't say it, it's really good. This building is supposed to be Martian, the little gray people are not that tall, and their buildings are not so tall at all. I just don't know if the whole planet is Martian or just the city is Martian. Eugene muttered.
"Sparrow, report the situation here to the command, the command center has more comprehensive information, maybe they can analyze something." Eugene commanded.
…………
"It's a strange situation!" Looking at the news sent back by the pioneer group, Zhuge Wushuang said.
"It's different from what we imagined, except for the innermost planet that is the Little Gray Man, the other two are all Martian colonies. It seems that the Martians have an overwhelming advantage. Even more than half of the planet of the little gray man has been attacked by the Martians, and it stands to reason that the entire galaxy should be in the hands of the Martians, why is the entire galaxy all in ruins, and the Martians will not be stupid enough to destroy the living planet after the absolute advantage of going. Chen Peilin wondered.
"Will there be a third party involved?" Zhuge Wushuang asked.
"Judging from the wreckage of the battleship, there are only two forces," Chen Peilin responded.
The "Didi" command Zhi Brain made a sound, and a message came from Zhi Brain. The information sent by the vanguard group will generally be processed by the brain first, and the more important ones will be sent to the fleet think tank, and the think tank will be evaluated, and only the most important information will be sent to Chen Peilin and them.
"Is it Zhang Feng and them? I remember that their battalion was mainly responsible for the planet of the little grays, right? Did they find something? Zhuge Wushuang said.
"That's right, I found some information, the little gray man is indeed fighting against the Martians, according to the data, the technology of the Martians is much stronger than the little gray man, when the Martians came here, the little gray people have just entered the fourth-level civilization stage, and they have just completed the migration to the first satellite. After the Martian came, they immediately seized the second satellite, and the little gray man launched a surprise attack on the Martian when the Martian was not firmly established, but he did not expect that the Martians had rich combat experience and even stronger combat power than them, but no one took advantage of it, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate. The two sides stopped for fifty earth years, and fifty years later, the Martians actually joined a group of new forces, and the original balance of equal strength was broken, and the little gray man could only rely on a huge population advantage to resist the attack of the Martians. Later, the Martians vigorously developed the unmanned fleet, and the situation became worse again, the home planet of the little gray man was breached, and the little gray man was forced to flee from the home planet and wander into the sea of stars. This information was obtained in the hands of the Resistance left behind by a small Gray Man, which had been wiped out by the Martians. Chen Peilin said.
"That's even more wrong, what about the Martians, they should still be here after the victory, how do you see the situation The Martians are extinct. Anyway, we also found the crashed little gray man flying machine on the earth, so at least it means that the little gray man still exists. Zhuge Wushuang said.
"Who knows, maybe the Martians died and a civil war killed themselves," Chen Peilin said.
"Ding! …… Bite! …… Bite! ......" The piercing sirens sounded throughout the fleet, and then a large number of gray battleships appeared around the fleet, and without hesitation, countless artillery fire poured towards the fleet.
"Enemy attack! ……”
