Chapter 69: A Dead Civilization (1)
During the period when the fleet was under large-scale construction, in addition to the civilian adventure groups and the survey ships of the resource company flying around the star field in spaceships, the reconnaissance fleet and the pioneer group affiliated to the official fleet of the fleet were not idle, in fact, the reconnaissance activities of the reconnaissance fleet and the pioneer group were always carried out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNo matter where the fleet goes, the reconnaissance fleet and the vanguard group will take the lead and distribute around the fleet to detect possible dangers in the vicinity and warn the fleet in time. The reason why civilian exploration spacecraft can carry out all kinds of resource exploration and adventure activities smoothly is inseparable from the reconnaissance fleet's early elimination of dangers.
The Vanguard Regiment has now become a functional unit on par with the Reconnaissance Fleet. The original Pioneer Regiment was only a regiment of more than 3,000 people, and with the expansion of the size of the fleet, the current Pioneer Regiment has more than 100,000 people.
The news came back from one of the vanguard groups. Previously, the expedition group found two life planets in this star field that had not developed intelligent civilization, and then the fleet sent a pioneer group to these life planets in accordance with the standard procedure to carry out initial exploration activities, and then the fleet's biological resources collection department would send a large number of landing ships and experts to land on the planet, transplanting the animal and plant resources needed by human beings into the fleet as appropriate, and transplanting them together if a precious race such as the Purple Spirit Clan was found.
The initial results of the exploration were very frustrating, there were no precious plants like the Purple Spirit Clan on these two life planets, nor did there be any intelligent life like the Dryad, the whole planet was completely in a primitive state, and all the creatures were just beasts that only knew the killing instinct. The only thing the fleet can get on these living planets is some animal and plant resources that are not so precious and not so nutritious.
Because one of the two living planets is a special life planet, that is, the ecological environment is very different from the environment in which humans live, and human beings cannot live normally on it, but it gives birth to a planet of life. Therefore, the fleet only conducted a cursory survey at the beginning, and after finding that there was no danger, it went all out to explore the first living planet. The first living planet basically met the survival needs of human beings, and there are many kinds of animals and plants, and it is still the kind that humans can eat. Therefore, the investigation team cooperated with the biological resources collection department to explore this living planet first, and it was not until a week ago that the entire planet was explored.
Although the special life planet is also rich in animal and plant resources, it cannot be used by humans at all, so it can only be used for sightseeing purposes when collected on the ecological ship. After all, the universe is so big that what is a chicken rib for human beings may be a treasure in the eyes of other civilizations. The Vanguard had been sleepy for months on the primordial planet, so the military council gave them a few days off to rest in a temporary base on a special planet. In the atmospheric composition of the special planet, the content of xenon is as high as 70%, and it is simply an incredible thing that life can be produced in this inert gas environment, and what is even more strange is that the research of the Academy of Biological Sciences has found that the organisms on this planet can actually use xenon gas for metabolism. You must know that xenon is a well-known noble gas, and it is used on earth to make artificial suns. The square was lit up with huge white lights, and many of the bulbs were filled with xenon. It is very strange that the gas that is stable in the environment of high temperature and high pressure in the light bulb can be used by the creatures on this planet.
But strange as strange, humans are still not directly exposed to such a planetary environment. Xenon humans can't breathe at all, and it won't take long for them to suffocate if they are directly exposed, and there is a special phenomenon of human beings inhaling xenon, that is, they will change their voices, and their voices will become very sharp, both men and women. Therefore, the soldiers of the Pioneer Regiment rested in a closed base.
But there will be restless people everywhere, especially in such an energetic place as the army. A team under Eugene was unwilling to be lonely and ran out for a walk, until it didn't come back for a long time, and there was no response to the communication call, Eugene felt that something was wrong, so he led the whole team to rescue him in full armor, but he rushed to the scene of the incident and found that the team was gone, and only the traces of surrounding activities showed that they had appeared in the vicinity.
This is the seaside, and the endless sea is all silvery white, and the sparkling waves are very beautiful. This is a phenomenon caused by the fact that xenon gas in the atmosphere emits a brilliant white light when ionized, and the sea water reflects the color of the atmosphere. This is the exact opposite of the Earth, where the sky is blue because it reflects the color of the sea. The water here is very strange, it is not water, but a state between liquid and gas, very low-density, and the indigenous creatures of the planet are able to breathe and move freely in it. Through the trails, Eugene discovers that the missing team has entered the depths of the ocean.
This is impossible to happen, the activities of the vanguard regiment are subject to standard procedures, once this kind of serious violation of discipline is discovered, it will definitely be kicked out of the vanguard regiment, and if it is serious, it will even go to court-martial, and only when a serious situation occurs can the pioneer regiment soldiers be able to adapt to the situation.
This team Eugene knows very well, has enough ability and is very disciplined, except for being energetic and unable to sit still, he will never do anything out of the ordinary, since they dare to do this, it means that the situation is very serious. Eugene decisively contacted the headquarters of the Pioneer Regiment to report the situation here, and then led a heavily armed team of more than 100 people to advance towards the "sea of clouds".
As soon as they approached the sea of clouds, the communication between the brigade and the headquarters was immediately cut off, and the missing team should have encountered a similar situation. Fortunately, the team left a lot of markers along the way, and the group continued to move along the markers, and found that the distance was very far away, and the anxious Eugene took out the off-road motorcycle directly from the folding space, and the group followed suit, and then a motorcycle team quickly shuttled in the sea of clouds, until two hours of full speed driving, Eugene and they arrived at the end to meet the missing team.
The team leader's name is Li Salary Increase, he is a post-90s generation, and the purpose of his parents giving him this name is to hope that he will work smoothly in the future and always get a salary increase. It's a pity that he has just graduated and joined the fleet before he can find a job, and then he joined the army and entered the vanguard regiment with good performance.
Seeing Eugene's arrival, Li Jiaxin excitedly ran to Eugene and reported in detail what the team had discovered. The team originally wanted to go out surfing, and if they could catch a few sea monsters, they would be able to show off to others. As a result, I didn't expect this ocean to be an impostor, and there were no sea monsters at all. Just when the team was in a state of interest and was about to go home to sleep, the "sea water" suddenly parted to both sides, and the detector on the alloy armor suddenly detected the signal of the intelligent civilization, and kept repeating it, seemingly eager, and then the signal weakened, and the sea water also closed again.
This is definitely a means of intelligent beings, and it is seriously inconsistent with the results of the fleet's previous detections. Li Jiaxin and his teammates entered the sea of clouds to find out, in the sea of clouds they found an artificial creature, turned around in front of the team, and then led everyone to run into the depths. Li Jiaxin originally planned to contact Eugene, but found that the communication was interrupted, so he could only follow the other party to see what was going on, and then report to the group afterwards. The Pioneer Regiment's equipment gave them the confidence to overcome any danger, which is why they dared to go deep alone, and when they entered here, they found that it was a huge alloy building, which had existed for many years, and it was supposed to have energy, but it should have been exhausted.
The interior of the building is littered with the corpses of intelligent beings, and it is fairly well preserved. It is a humanoid creature with a large stature, pointed ears, a large nose, thin lips, a thick tail, and scattered hair with a strange metallic luster. But their deaths were quite embarrassing, as if something terrible had happened. Strangely, they didn't have any wounds on their bodies, and the detector detected that they were all right before they died, and that they died quite abruptly, as if they were in a collective dream and then scared to death in the dream.
Eugene looked at these corpses and felt the seriousness of the situation, this planet is not as simple as imagined, and maybe there are some monsters hidden in it. I wanted to get in touch with the fleet, but the strange substance in the sea of clouds interfered with the communication, and I couldn't answer the signal at all. In the end, it was the eagle who had a flash of inspiration, took out a helicopter from the folding space, and flew the helicopter directly to the sea of clouds before dialing the signal of the fleet. For the human fleet, where the fourth-class warships have been privatized, this helicopter with a modified energy engine is simply a small toy, and there are not a few people in the pioneer group who collect this thing, but at this time, it is just an eagle that thinks of it, and it is worthy of driving a landing ship, and it is a bit of a flying mind.
Chen Peilin received the signal, looked at the video screen in the data carefully, frowned, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had found something, and then ordered Elaine: "All the people who go out will return immediately, and all the battleships that can't return will open their energy shields and speed back!" Order the vanguard group, all of everyone's individual energy shields are activated, don't turn them off, don't be afraid of wasting energy! Inform the Military Council and the Senate to immediately go to the conference hall to convene an emergency meeting and issue a special alarm!! ……”
