Chapter 36: Enter the Stargate

"What, you can't slow down?" After a while, just as he was about to land, Rhaegar glanced sideways at Jacques again. "Seriously, I'm not like you, you're almost all gods, and I'm a 'mortal', a full-fledged figure mixed in." Jacques looked out the window and said with a little irritation.

"The real ones are here." Rhaegar blatantly pointed to Alina, who was in front of him with her eyes closed, and said nonchalantly. In the previous battles, none of them saw what was so special about Alina.

When Jacques heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Alina, and asked a little frivolously: "Now that you've come to give us an answer, what is your strength?" Amazing beauty? The kind of enemy who immediately dies of shame when he sees it? ”

"I don't have to explain it to you." Alina opened her eyes, glared at Jacques, and said calmly.

"We're all going to die tomorrow!" Jacques said in a sudden rage.

"I don't think so." Ellie turned her head out the window, still breezy and calm.

Qi Xiao finally got up to help, he stopped Jacques, looked at Alina and said with a smile, "I think...... If we live near Alina, at least in terms of personal hygiene, we will keep it tidy. Our Chinese Confucius famously said that men and women are matched and they are not tired of work. ”

Jacques looked at Qi Xiao in front of him, trying his best to squeeze a smile on his face, and then he stood up and walked to the back of the cabin.

"Just let him vent." Qi Xiao smiled at Ian Jugis with a look of concern, and was about to get up to comfort the Frenchman.

The plane landed on the island of Socotra in the western part of the Indian Ocean.

Socotra Island is located at the junction of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, at the southeast end of the Gulf of Aden, and is the main sea communication route from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea and East Africa, forming a maritime lifeline connecting the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Although it is only 250 kilometers from the southeastern tip of Somalia, it is part of Yemen, and the island has long been administratively under the jurisdiction of Yemen's Aden province.

But in essence, as early as 2015, this island has become the largest base of the United ** team, and the most advanced weapons of various countries are concentrated on this small island.

Because the Stargate is directly west of Socotra.

The group stepped out of the plane and looked at the originally barren red earth around them, but at this time it was full of life and people.

Everywhere there are United Nations peacekeepers wearing blue steel helmets, dazzling and dizzying people of all races, coming and going in a variety of languages, and a constant stream of vehicles, carrying and unloading all kinds of machinery and equipment and personnel, coming and going in a hurry.

Founded after the Second Stargate War, the Socotra base has been silently watching Stargate's every move, trying to defend human civilization from alien creatures.

Since the scientific instruments of human civilization are almost unable to detect alien creatures, this fortress has not played its real role.

But because of the extreme sensitivity and importance of Stargate, the United Nations has never given up on investing in and building the island.

And now, with the fourth Stargate about to open, the once-famous fortress has finally ushered in its expansion and construction.

The above is the general information that is now publicly available.

The entourage drove the five people out of the airport while casually introducing the black history of the base.

After the Second Stargate War, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations proposed and built the fortified island. Used to monitor Stargate's every move.

The Secretary-General's proposal was supported by the UN Security Council, and after a significant investment of funds, the construction of the base began, which was contracted by the five countries of the Permanent Council of the Security Council.

Although many African and South Asian countries have since expressed their dissatisfaction with the sensitive location and huge expenses of the Socotra base, successive UN secretaries-general have dealt with this problem well.

On the eve of the Third Stargate War, after learning that Stargate was unusual, the Security Council sent Martin Warfield to lead a large number of joint ** teams to Stargate, which turned out to be the right move, because the alien creatures had already attacked the base long before the arrival of the huge fleet led by Warfield.

The car left the airport and headed out into the vast expanse of red earth.

Driving around this island, it's easy to break the notion of a "normal" landscape on Earth, and you'll think like in a dream, being transported to another planet or going back in time to a certain period of Earth's history.

Socotra has been isolated from the African continent for the past 6 million or 7 million years and is home to more than 700 species of extremely rare flora and fauna, a third of which are not found anywhere else on Earth.

The trees and plants of this island nation have been preserved geology through long-term isolation, some of which are about 20 million years old.

Giant umbrella-like dracaena, giant ginger-like bottle tree, endless sandy beach......

Most of the color of the entire island is red, dry red earth, bright red coral reefs, and almost everything is red except for those huge sand dunes. Even the sparse branches of the bottle tree are bright red buds.

The jeep goes around a sand dune that is several hundred meters high.

The Stargate, the witness of the history of mankind's nearly fifty years of war, the starting point of everything, appeared in front of everyone.

The huge ring is located in the waters of the Indian Ocean, and is 300 meters in diameter.

It is made of pure ferrous metal, and until now, humans have not been able to figure out what the material used to construct the Dark Portal is.

In the center of the ring, inlaid with words or patterns that have been difficult for human beings to understand, on the surface, the ring appears fragile and fragile in the vast ocean, but it is far stronger than people think.

The group got out of the car and stood on the beach, looking at the giant ring standing in the middle of the ocean.

"It looks like the stargate in human imagination." Qi Xiao sighed.

"Can't we smash him?" Rhaegar turned his head and asked at his entourage, though he knew he was asking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's far stronger than we imagined, lasers, heat, radiation, impact, we've tried all sorts of things over the years, but only recently have we discovered that it can repair itself in the face of a huge threat, and we can't destroy it at all." The scientific and technological personnel who followed all the way introduced.

"It's as new now as it was when it was first discovered, and it's a power that humans can't match." An old scientist who came with him who had studied Stargate for many years sighed.

Everyone was silent, and from the side view, the center of the huge ring seemed to be a little blurred, not completely transparent, and looking at the sunset through the ring, the flame with a magnificent light reflected a brilliant golden wave on the inky water, as if the whole sea was ignited by the flame.

The crowd stood by the seashore and looked at the magnificent gate for a long time.

Until the flames broke through the thin clouds, and half of the sky became the medium-red of the dream, and then, the vivid colors gradually faded over the Indian Ocean, and everything was swallowed up by the long night.

In the middle of the night, at the stationing place on the island, the five transcendents lit a bonfire and held another battle meeting.

"When the technical department opened the door, I was the first to go in. If the situation allows, I will seek out the four of you to calm the situation. Rhaegar took a small stick and kept pulling at the flames.

"Then there is the guidance of the army, believing that they have made enough arrangements, so we don't need to worry about it more." Ian also said with some concern.

"Are you sure you won't die instantly when you go over there?" Jacques squinted at Rhaeggar.

Rhaegar smiled confidently: "I can survive under any conditions, not to mention that there are creatures on the other side, and the environment must not be so harsh." ”

"Everything according to the plan?" Qi Xiao asked.

"Yes, according to the agreement, let's repeat it again, Qi Xiao is in charge of perimeter security, Ian is in charge of the defense of the base, Jacques is in charge of potential threats, and Alina ......" Rhaegar glanced at Alina and stopped talking.

"I'll do my thing." Alina said calmly.

"Well, I hope you can be trusted." Rhaegar dropped the stick and looked at the four people in front of him, "Now...... Go to bed? ”

The next day, five people stood on a floating platform at sea, looking at the stargate that was close at hand.

Behind them were five super-large semi-submersible cargo ships, the loading decks of which had been opened, and the amphibious tanks were neatly lined up and ready to go.

The entire Arabian Sea has been completely blocked at this time, and all kinds of cargo ships, container ships, ro-ro ships, barges, and bulk carriers are carrying a large number of materials and waiting quietly.

This was followed by cruisers, destroyers, frigates, torpedo boats, missile boats, submarine hunters, and ...... These massive steel machines roam above the sea, exchanging information in the air through radio waves from time to time, monitoring the movement of the stargates.

It was almost the largest transport mission in human history, and the Gulf of Aden had become a sea of ships.

A signal came from the amphibious landing ship in the distance, and a thick laser hit the stargate, the luna stone worked normally, the stargate gradually opened, and a faint blue moonlight appeared.

Rhaegar Norris looked up at the towering arches in front of him, and the energy that filled them glowed.

It was the Stargate, a strange door that could transport people to another world.

He took a deep breath and walked forward.

Qi Xiao suddenly grabbed him and said solemnly: "No one knows what will happen behind the door, it is very likely that the moment you pass through the door, you will be in danger of death." ”

Rhaegar smiled confidently, and he looked at the dark blue glowing interstellar gate, as if he heard the silent words encouraging him.

He raised his head and looked at the faint blue light: "Our sea of stars will start from here." ”

As he spoke, he stepped into the star-gate, the blue light dissolving his body, and the space around him seemed to distort and collapse for a moment, and then return to peace, and Rhaegar Norris's form had disappeared into this world.

"Steal my lines?" Qi Xiao was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the interstellar gate as he spoke.

"As planned, we're going to wait here for the guy who doesn't need oxygen!" Jacques saw Qi Xiao also walking forward, and couldn't help but shout behind him.

"I've got to watch him!" Qi Xiao turned his head and explained as he walked, "I forgot that I can also live in a vacuum. ”

After saying a word, Qi Xiao looked at the portal glowing with blue and purple light in front of him, a completely new world, no one knew what was there and what the people were there.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "Brother Chun bless." ”

After saying a word, he had already stepped into the interstellar gate with one foot.
