Chapter 314: Assault on the Shadow Broker's Lair
Damien looked at the soldiers in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the space-time gate a few meters behind him. He still didn't understand what was going on, but it looked like the two people in front of him weren't going to tell him anything again.
Looking at the dark gate, after a few seconds, he finally made up his mind, he let go of the soldiers in front of him, followed Shen Chao's previous appearance, and walked to the time and space gate.
One last glance behind him, he stepped up the metal staircase in front of him. Although there are only three steps, his speed is very slow, because he doesn't know what is on the other side, is this really a door to another world?
After stepping on the last staircase, looking at the absolute darkness in front of him, he held the handrail with both hands, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked through the strange door in front of him with his eyes closed.
Only one step forward, there was no feeling of being torn and no hitting the wall, he didn't feel anything. But he touched the corner of the armrest, and he stopped, slowly opening his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately realized that his fate had been changed forever. Like many others before him, he suddenly appeared in the heavily defended crossing zone of Base 2.
As soon as he walked through the space-time gate, Damien found himself in a large interior space that looked like a warehouse. Looking behind him, it was still a pitch-black space-time door, and in front of him was a bright hall.
At this time, there were dozens of people and nearly a hundred security guards who were busy not far away, they were divided into many groups, all of them were busy with their own affairs, and almost no one paid attention to him who had just passed through the space-time gate.
At this time, the people here were mainly busy with unloading and preparing for assault operations. Some soldiers instructed the planes to unpack the containers that had been transported back and pull them to the disinfection area for cleaning and disinfection, and finally safely transported them out of the transit area in the Tongguò freight lane.
He knew a lot of people and a lot of cargo here, and the relatively large ones of the autofusion reactors were still moving slowly under the driver's of one man.
There are also a lot of soldiers who are arranging for the commissioning of several pieces of equipment, all of which they have bought on Novilla. An old man with gray hair is directing them to debug the equipment and modify it.
They seem to be just trying to miniaturize some of the equipment or equip some laser drills with mobile equipment to give them basic power.
Shen Chao was not far in front at this time, asking one of them about the progress of preparing something. Damien could recognize the man, it was a "marine" from the previous ship.
See that no one cares about their own savings. Damien then looked to his side, and immediately realized that he seemed to be in a huge device.
A complex, noisy, ring-shaped device encased one of the platforms he was standing on. Listening to the faint noise coming from the device, it looks like the device is running.
Demien took a closer look and saw that the ring-shaped device appeared to be a large laser emitting device. He could see several beams of laser beams shining at the edge of the space-time gate inside the ring device.
Although it is a cluster laser, most of the light disappears into the space-time gate, but looking directly at these laser beams will still feel dazzling. Definitely emitted by a high-energy laser device.
"Come and keep up, Captain." I don't have the whole day to explain a qiē to you. Just as Damien was guessing the function of this device, Shen Chao's voice suddenly came from not far away.
Damien withdrew his gaze from the device and looked at Shen Chao with confusion. But at this time, he was not as clueless as before. There is no doubt that Shen Chao has just revealed him a shocking big secret.
3 days later, the Mass Effect world, the Hourglass Nebula-Sovero System-Hagrath Planet Periphery. A small ripple suddenly appeared in the cosmic space 1.2 million kilometers away from the planet, slightly disrupting the background starry sky.
A shuttle clad in a Starlink livery suddenly jumped faster than the speed of light and appeared in the field of vision. On the shuttle, Shen Chao first confirmed the coordinates, and then cautiously drove the shuttle towards the planet 1.2 million kilometers away.
4.72 light years away. The Budapest was cruising on a predetermined course in the nearest star system, and there were now very few people on board, except for a dozen soldiers, only a few people remained.
Damien was one of the few people left on board, he was now a Class B clearance traverser in Shen Chao's expedition, and his mission was to keep Budapest cruising and wait for the assault group to receive the results after success.
A few days ago, when he arrived at the main plane, it took Shen Chao very little time to prove to him that he had arrived in another world.
Over the next two days, Damien cleared the game of Mass Effect on the main plane and learned about the dangers facing his world, and then joined the expedition without hesitation after hearing Shen Chao's conditions.
Just kidding, the Reaper is about to invade, stay in this plane and die? What's more, he still has a family, his parents and sister are preparing to move back to Earth, but the Earth of the 3rd generation in the game has long been in a sea of fire.
If he doesn't do something, his whole family will be doomed! That's it, Damien persuaded himself to join Shen Chao's space-time expedition, he didn't have any big demands, just proposed that he must take his parents to the main plane to avoid danger.
Shen Chao agreed to his request, and he promised Damien that he would be allowed to leave the ship as long as the mission was completed, and then take his relatives to the main plane for refuge.
At this time, Damien stood in front of the CIC star chart, waiting for the order, if one qiē shun lì, and then their plan would succeed in the next few days.
And he will be able to connect his parents and sister to the main plane in a short time. He thought so, and then drew his attention back to the task, the target in Shen Chao's shuttle was already very close.
At this time, on the periphery of the Hagras atmosphere, the shuttle has already begun its steps into the atmosphere. In order to access the atmosphere here, they also made small improvements to the shuttle.
They applied a composite coating to the outer armor of the shuttle, which greatly strengthened the resistance of the entire shuttle. It can greatly reduce the chance of being struck by lightning.
There is no way around it, and although Hagrath is a terrestrial planet, the climate here is more extreme than many inanimate planets.
It's an inconspicuous planet with a thick atmosphere, and there aren't any resources worth mentioning in the entire galaxy, so it's usually not a lot of attention.
But what is not well known is that this is the headquarters of the galaxy's largest intelligence monger, the Shadow Broker. The Shadow Broker is a code name, a legend.
No one has ever met or actually met with a shadow broker. This mysterious intelligence dealer is very careful to command all the qiē operations remotely, relying on agents to manage his own intelligence network.
The Shadow Broker's spy network can be said to be pervasive in all major organizations in this plane, and his intelligence agents are found in government agencies, the military, large mercenary groups, and even many charitable organizations and trade unions.
Shen Chao's goal here this time is very simple, find the Shadow Broker's spaceship hidden in the atmosphere of this planet, land, and then seize the entire spaceship.
But before he could do that, he had to find the spaceship, a terrestrial planet very close to the star, which had an extreme climate due to the huge light radiation of the sun.
During the day, large amounts of seawater evaporate into the atmosphere, creating a thick layer of clouds that cover almost the entire globe and carry a large amount of positive charge, in contrast to the negative charge in seawater.
Because of this huge voltage difference, lightning is very common both between the clouds and on the sea, resulting in a very complex intraplanetary electromagnetic environment.
It is also because of this that the conventional means of sending a few detectors to detect the global environment require at least hundreds here.
Of course, Shen Chao was not prepared to do that, that kind of global exploration intelligent detector is very large and expensive, and it is too wasteful to invest in hundreds of them. He doesn't have that much on his hands at the moment.
His method was simple, using drones instead of probes, spreading out in the dangerous atmosphere here, and using short-range scanning to locate the giant Shadow Broker ship.
Once in the atmosphere, he began the work, taking three hours to walk hundreds of drones to several important exploration sites on the planet.
For the rest of the day, he spent the day in low orbit receiving the numbers from the drones, and finally, 27 hours later, he found his target, a giant ship hidden in the thick clouds.
This is a completely ineffective intraplanetary ship, and although it has the size of a dreadnought, it does not have a large enough mass effect core, so it can only roam the interior of this planet.
Seeing this, Shen Chao immediately drove the shuttle towards the target, the good thing about this planet is that it is difficult for them to find the ship of the shadow broker, and it is almost impossible for the other party to find their shuttle. At least not until the visual distance is reached.
After reaching the top of the spaceship, the door of the shuttle opened, and Shen Chao and several other teammates jumped down one after another, landing steadily on the huge hull.
I have to say that the scenery here is not bad, looking at the huge thick cumulonimbus clouds that constantly flashing with lightning in the distance, he can only sigh at the strange natural environment here.
After landing, Shen Chao almost immediately opened a space-time door behind him, and broke off a red glow stick and threw it over, which was a pre-agreed signal, meaning that there was no danger, and the marines advanced as planned.
As the glow stick landed in the crossing area of the base through the space-time gate, two complete squads of heavily armed soldiers immediately lined up in battle formation, with three people as an assault group, and rushed through the space-time gate in groups. Today is destined to be a day that the current shadow broker will never forget. (To be continued.) )
