Chapter 7: Confinement and Felling Orders

Since the brood war a month later...... It's been a month, and a lot of news has been passed to the people through Hope Weekly, or military soldiers, or political axe personnel, and until this time, the people know how dangerous the Hope was at that time, trapped underground, and there is a constant siege of aliens on the ground, and even the alien brood is trying to come to Mount Tai to suppress the top, this kind of danger, even after the end of the war, still makes the vast majority of people shudder when they think about it.

Of course, after all, the war has passed, and the danger has completely disappeared, although there are hundreds of more names in the Hall of Human Heroes Memorial, as well as their respective deeds, etc., but this only makes the people's hearts awe, until a month later, they yearn for the planet beyond the Hope!

At present, the Hope is suspended three thousand meters above the area that left the ground before, not that this is a treasure of feng shui, but also because this is the site of three consecutive alien attacks, the largest number of alien corpses here, and there must be a lot of alien liquid cells that have been broken at the same time, so this is the main location for cleaning up at present.

In this month's time, the defense army has been divided into six batches, each batch of more than 500 people, using the six-shift system, that is, working for eight hours, on the day of rest for sixteen hours, the task itself is not heavy, but every time you go out, you have to bear a certain psychological pressure, after all, the defense soldiers are not good at close combat, and those aliens are so terrifying, if there are one or two surviving aliens in the jungle for a sneak attack, then the death may not be one or two.

Because of this, a six-shift system was adopted, which allowed the soldiers on each mission to have enough time to rest.

Of course, these are not the main points that the people are concerned about, but when they will be able to get to the surface on a transport ship.

They are so eager for the blue sky, too much for the green meadows, too eager for ...... Too eager to stand on a planet!

Although everyone knows that this is not safe, after all, this is an alien, and no one knows what kind of monsters and beasts will be encountered here, maybe a small animal that looks like a mouse or a rabbit will eat you into a bone frame in the blink of an eye, such a thing is really not uncommon in science fiction movies.

But this still can't stop the more and more boiling and excited psychology of the people, especially some adventurous young adults in Europe and the United States, many of whom have discussed forming a group of travelers, exploring the nearby areas that Hope can explore, looking for those strange areas, taking pictures as important human historical pictures, and at the same time looking for the unique ecological environment of this planet, such as what herbivores, what carnivores, edible plants, leaves, rhizomes, Or is there something like a mushroom, a flower, or some people who have been Chinese with Asia for a long time, and they will also hope to find some herbs on this planet, because according to Chinese, the older the herbs, the better their medicinal effect...... All in all, the people have too many fantasies about this planet, and too many expectations, as time passes, when the obvious enemy no longer exists, even if everyone knows that the planet three thousand meters below the Hope is too dangerous, they still want to be able to fall to it as quickly as possible, even if it is just to walk around.

But for such a request, the top level of the political axe has to consider more things.

For example, if you let people get to the land below, how to protect their lives in the first place? Let's not talk about aliens or anything, the creatures on this planet alone are completely unknown to humans, what creatures are ferocious, what creatures are friendly, what creatures are highly poisonous, what creatures have abilities, these things are all blank.

Don't talk about animals, even plants may also have any dangers, for example, there are man-eating plants on the earth, although most of them are false rumors, but at least Yao Yuan himself has encountered a kind of blood-sucking man-eating vine that only grows in the tropical rainforest, and he was also able to react in time at that time, otherwise I am afraid that there would be no hope at this moment.

Therefore, when it comes to a new environment, it is impossible to be careless about anything, the current number of soldiers in the defense army is already very small, and in the past month, Yao Yuan even wants to send the Space Marines out on a mission, because the Star is not afraid of close combat or anything at all, so every three Space Marines can become a group, and the flexibility is easy to solve, which shows that Yao Yuan's current manpower shortage problem.

If these people are allowed to leave the Hope and go to the surface to walk around and explore at will, will they send troops to protect them? If you don't send it, who will be responsible if something goes wrong? It must still be the leader of him, and the Hope Axe itself, who is absolutely guilty of such a thing.

If an army is sent to protect it, how many troops will be needed to protect it? 100? Thousand? Besides, there are more than 100,000 people in Hope, plus the children who are currently about three or four years old, the number has reached nearly 170,000. Don't suffer from widowhood, only suffer from inequality, this kind of thing is very, very familiar to Yao Yuan, who once grew up in the Heaven Party on Earth, not to mention anything else, just need to say a rumor, those who go down are all civil servants, or rich and powerful or something, then the credibility of the political axe will immediately drop by more than half, do you want to live at that time?

Because of this, although Yao Yuan did understand the psychology of these people who wanted to go to the ground, he still expressed his firm refusal to allow any non-military personnel to go to the ground in his speech about the brood war a few days ago.

Of course, as the public voices gradually rise, on the other hand, a large number of scientists have also raised relevant objections...... They also want to be able to go to the ground.

Of course, the scientists are not pretending to be public or private, they do want to go to the surface of the planet to conduct relevant research, not to mention, just the address structure of the planet, the mineral composition, and the composition of animals and plants, and many other things, in fact, the detection instruments on the Hope alone cannot be completely detected, and these scientists prefer to be able to go to the planet in person to collect in situ and the like, not to mention other people, Ivan himself has applied to go to the surface at least three times, and compared to scientists in other disciplines, Ivan and his colleagues, as a biologist, are already so excited that they can't even sleep every day.

In this way, the call for going to the ground is getting louder and louder, and the civil and scientific circles have also erupted in such a voice.

At the same time, the troops on the ground have also sent back a lot of information, first of all, the task of incinerating the remains of the alien corpse, as of a month later, within a radius of 300 kilometers around the Hope, all the remains of the alien corpse have been completely incinerated, and the remaining thing is to continue to explore the wider area around.

But here they encountered a problem, that is, when the area expanded, they found an extremely large forest area in the distance, in fact, the planet is extremely forested, except for the grassland and a very small number of inland deserts due to temperature and humidity problems, almost more than sixty percent of the land of the planet is covered by forests.

Of course, this is a good thing, but it also depends on the situation, if you encounter the forest while chasing the alien, looking for the alien residue, and burning the alien...... That's probably not a good thing.

It has been said before that the melee combat of the defending soldiers is not strong, to be precise, if the defending soldiers are given close contact by the aliens, then they are purely slaughtered lambs, not to mention weapons and equipment, it is impossible to fight against the aliens just by reacting, the speed of the aliens is much faster than the reaction speed of ordinary people, and it is okay on the plains, but once they enter the dense forest, once they are close to the aliens, it may be a massacre next.

Because of this, the pace of the defense force was completely stopped, and after urgent discussions, the military had a new method, which was to let the soldiers take a modified transport ship, and then use various advanced instruments to carry out scanning detection, once it was found that the body was huge, or the body resembled a strange shape, or the place where the genetic resonance area existed, then the clean-up work was carried out there, and all possible target sources were slaughtered.

Of course, it was impossible for soldiers to enter the dense forest, so in this case, the order issued by Yao Yuan was a felling order issued along with the confinement order.

The first is the confinement order, which was issued in the name of the military and the political axe of Hope, requiring any non-military personnel to be prohibited from leaving the Hope without permission, otherwise, they will be arrested in the name of destroying the human ecological environment and deliberately carrying an unknown virus, and will be sentenced to three to five years in prison, and in serious cases, it may even be sentenced to five to ten years in prison!

This is a confinement order.

Then there is the cutting order, which is a military order, of course, because of its special surname, it is also handed over to Hope Weekly for publication, that is, when the military clean-up personnel find any suspicion of possible alien existence from the detection, then they can do anything according to the situation on the scene, including burning no more than ten hectares of forest, including cutting down any trees, including killing any suspected wildlife...... This is a felling order!
