161 Mission Briefing (5th Update)

Lin Youde frowned and glanced at Xia Yongzhi.

"Give the off-campus mission now, isn't this school year just beginning, I thought it would at least wait until Freya trained enough to wear power armor, and then we would be given the mission."

"You have to get used to missions coming when you're unprepared, and this is a joint mission that requires you to go to Sethley, the designated cultural protection planet of the Galactic Council, to come into contact with one of our informants as a tourist and retrieve a data logging device. The entire mission takes place in the Cultural Reserve, which is run by the Joka people, who are the eighth in the Galactic Council. ”

"Joka? Those globular creatures? Xia Yongzhi asked.

Instructor Li's expression was very serious: "Although they are indeed spherical, please don't refer to them as 'those spherical creatures', they are the eighth in the galaxy after all." ”

The Zouca people were born from a very amazing ecosystem, their home planet is a large gas planet, life on Earth comes from the ocean, and life on the home planet of Zouca is born from an atmosphere with extremely high methane concentrations; The energy of life on Earth mainly comes from sunlight, and plants convert sunlight into starch and other products into the food chain, feeding the life of the entire Earth, and the energy of life on the mother planet of Juka comes from the oxidation of methane.

Joka's home planet has a solid core with a mass equivalent to eight Earths, covered with liquid hydrogen gas due to high pressure, and above that is hundreds of kilometers thick an atmosphere in which various organisms live and produce different biomes according to the adapted pressure.

The Terca evolved from a group of creatures living in the outermost part of the atmosphere, who controlled their altitude in the atmosphere by filling their bodies with hydrogen that was lighter than methane, so that they could obtain oxygen from the atmosphere more freely, and then obtain the water needed through methane oxidation, and excrete carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide, which is heavier than methane, sinks in the atmosphere, and is finally converted into methane by microorganisms using the heat energy produced by the planet's core.

This closed ecosystem, though very different from the biological systems on Earth, is essentially similar - producers produce energy substances (starch and methane), which are then devoured by higher-level organisms, and the energy is transferred through the food chain through ingestion. At the same time, the excrement (carbon dioxide) produced by the upper organisms is returned to the producer and becomes food for the producer.

The only problem is that oxygen has a higher relative molecular weight than methane, so oxygen will generally be heavier than methane.

The solution to this problem is the two massive moons of the planet Joka, whose gravitational pull and Juka's rotation create storms in the atmosphere of the gaseous planet. Convection currents from storms carry oxygen from the lower atmospheres up to the upper atmosphere.

Therefore, in the early years of civilization, the Zouka people always gathered near atmospheric storms and moved with the storm cyclones.

The evolution process of the Zoka civilization is completely different from that of the earth civilization, the earthlings are a typical tool civilization, and the birth and development of the entire civilization starts from the use of tools, and the Zouca people are a ball. They didn't use tools at all - in fact, they weren't technically called Joka, and there was a considerable difference in pronunciation, but the first anthropolinguists were so influenced by their appearance when translating their names that they called them that.

The evolution of the Juka civilization began by feeling the Force - oh no, feeling psionic energy, and their planetary atmosphere was suspended with trace amounts of Element Zero - although it was said to be trace Element Zero, this was aimed at the density of Element Zero's distribution. Because of the large mass of the Juka parent star, the total amount of element zero on it is quite considerable.

As the Cyukas drifted aimlessly with the storm, they felt the presence of Element Zero, and this feeling eventually evolved into the belief of the Zoukas. As a civilization that relied entirely on Elemental Zero and psionic energy, the Zouka people still believe that God exists.

When Lin Youde read this part, Noah said, "The so-called gods, isn't it just a super powerful existence, primitive people will use gunpowder guns as god's scepters, and helicopters as god's flying chariots, according to my experience, most myths come from this way. And me. Just change the shape of your galaxy a little bit, and you will worship it as a god! There will be endless tributes! 】

Come on, how can there be such a god who teases the two shortages.

[Well, I think so too.] If I became a god, I wouldn't be as free as I am now, and I've been a god too many times in the past, it's not fun at all, oh no, I mean, it's not good for my purpose of absorbing culture. 】

Wait a minute...... Did someone confide in their sincerity just now?

[No, that's just one of the manifestations of my human influence on you. I'm becoming more and more like a human being, and it's human nature to play with the heart! 】

Lin Youde felt that she was so good and reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all.

At this time, Instructor Li coughed lightly, attracted everyone's attention, and asked, "It's been five seconds, and everyone except Freya has learned about the relevant background of the Joka people?" ”

All three nodded, except for Freya.

"I have to remind you, although the Juka people look like a ball and are very cute, but because they are a theocratic government, there is almost no concept of law and so-called public order and good customs, and if you do something that they think is out of line, you will be sacrificed to the gods, Freya is one of the ten giants and eighth-level psionic power, in the eyes of the Joka people, they are the family of the true gods, Lilibele is considered a beginner priest on the side of the Jouka people because of their seventh-level psionic ability, so the two of them will probably be fine, and the other two fifth-level and below psionic powers, You are at the lowest level of the Sacrifice on the side of the Joukas, and you are often sent to be a Rite of Birth. ”

Lin Youde couldn't help frowning, but the information given by Noah also showed that the Qiuka people were really good, after all, they were theocratic from the beginning and are still like this, and when they first came into contact with other giants, they reacted: You heretics will either die or submit! If you weird creatures don't submit to the true God, you're going to die! XXX Ark Bar!

Then they were more unlucky, and they were beaten by the Tul people who are now the third in the galaxy for a long time, and these balloons finally understood that the true gods in the galaxy are useless, and the big fist is the truth.

However, the Methodians have no technology, they rely entirely on psionic energy, and they are also the only race in the galaxy that does not use warp speed to sail, they all assemble "methods" and then teleport themselves to the vicinity of the target - their own bodies can directly "sail" in the universe with the help of psionic energy, and they also capture the cloud whales on their planet and fuse them with the high priest level psionic energy to create something similar to a space battleship. In short, Joka is a psionic race that walks without technology at all, and then they find that they can't beat the technological race that also has psionic powers.

As a result, the Zouka people raised the status of the non-spiritual Cruca people on their home planet as pure reproductive machines. Then he began to steal technology from other giants to arm the Psychic Jokas, and only then did he gradually gain a foothold, otherwise these balloons would have to be destroyed by the Tullers.

"Actually," while Lin Youde continued to read the material provided by Noah. Instructor Li also continued to give a background introduction to the mission, "There is intelligence that the Zouka people can evolve civilization because their home planet is likely to be a supercivilization relic itself, because there are reports from different people. The psionic energy of everyone around Joka's home planet will be increased, and the Space Army suspects that there are super-civilized relics at the core of that planet. ”

"You mean," Lilibelle, who had been silent, finally spoke, "that their home planet could be the same race as the Promethean fire?" ”

"Who knows, there are so many races in the galaxy now, maybe there were several supercivilizations back then." Instructor Li shrugged his shoulders, "Getting back to business, you know at least one reason why I chose you now, right?" ”

"We have Freya, when we face the Shoka who are good at psionic powers. At least we won't be stared at by the perceptual psionic energy. ”

Freya can deceive perceptual psionics, which has been confirmed in New Zhengzhou.

"That's right, that's one of the reasons, the second reason, it's unlikely that there will be a difficult battle in this mission, after all, it's the land that the Galactic Council is staring at, and not many people dare to act openly, so with your combat power, it's enough to deal with it. What should really be worried is the trouble in other aspects, Seysley is a very troubled planet, as a cultural conservation research area designated by the Galactic Council. The natives of that planet have very peculiar cultures that make that planet particularly suitable for some illegal transactions that have to be met, and can be said to be one of the spy paradises. I believe that the team sent to that planet should be as lean as possible. Mainly a few elites. ”

"Shouldn't experienced ghost agents be sent on this kind of mission?" Lily Belle asked.

"As I said, the task itself is not very risky, as long as you carefully don't touch the line, you can smoothly connect, and then get the data disk back."

"If it's really that important. Isn't it over sending with Ansebo? Xia Yongzhi said.

"Because of the content in the data disk, we don't want people outside of us to receive it, Ansebo is not a point-to-point means of communication, and its information transmission method is very simple, it is difficult to encrypt efficiently, so you see that now we are still using the quantum resonant communication instrument with a much lower information transmission bandwidth than Ansebo, because the quantum resonant communication instrument will hardly leak, and the encryption key used to send Ansebo communication is just right. And the informant who wanted to connect did not have a usable quantum resonant communication instrument in his hand. ”

When the quantum resonant communication instrument was manufactured, it was in pairs, and only the paired communication instrument could communicate with each other, and it could not be eavesdropped or intercepted at all.

Lin Youde nodded: "I don't have a problem, I'll be responsible for explaining it to Freya later." ”

Freya immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lily Belle asked, "I have another question, why should I go together?" ”

"Haven't you already joined Lin Youde's team?"

"I didn't."

"Oh," Instructor Li said with a look on his face that knew about this, "then there is no way, I can only lock you up until they come back from completing their mission." ”

"What...... Forget it, I'll just go. Lily Belle looked appointed, "Hmph, if I do well in this mission, I hope Instructor Lee will reconsider my candidacy as a ghost agent." ”

"I will, of course I will." Instructor Li replied categorically, "If you show enough traits to become a good ghost agent in the mission, even the Lin family can't stop me from making you a ghost candidate again." ”

"Very good, hmph, I hope you are true to your word, Instructor Li."

After saying that, Lily Belle stood up and turned back to urge Lin Youde: "What are you still sitting for?" Let's get ready! Didn't the mission briefing say that they would leave in two hours? ”

(Monthly pass!) (To be continued.) )
