The team of scientists aboard Pegasos has tested the genetic sequences of thousands of humans they rescued from the surface of Zhiyuan, and has indeed found some recessive genetic sequences and other traces of genetic modification from these people that are different from those of the "normal humans" of the expedition team.

Although theoretically, the expedition team could add this precursor gene sequence, which is equivalent to a genetic key, to the DNA chain of their own team members in a variety of ways, or simply let the nanosuits on their bodies simulate the same effect, which plays a camouflage role.

However, the former takes a long time, after all, the safe metabolic rate of the human body is limited, which also means that the safe replacement of even a small part of the gene chain in the body is time-consuming, while the latter is uncertain whether the camouflage effect is reliable or not.

No one can be sure of how DNA and RNA are tested in the Precursor ruins, so it's safer to explore the Precursor ruins with a group of real "Reverters". At the very least, you won't be attacked by an automated defense system as soon as you get close to the ruins.

After leaving the Noble6, Shen Chao went all the way to the spherical bridge of the Pegasos, which was a change since the last refit. Gone are the angular traditional bridges of the original Pegasos, which now look like a transparent spherical cockpit.

The entire cabin of the bridge is covered with film-type displays, and a large number of sensors on the outside of the hull perfectly reproduce the stars and the shining Milky Way outside the hull. Many of these stars are also marked with colorful HUD icons.

Of course, in this Cambridge, which can be optionally gravity-driven or not, there is still a need for some equipment and a place for people to stay and work in the bridge. Two transparent, fully angled discs take up the job.

The transparent disc at the top is smaller, and is clearly positioned very close to the circular exit hatch at the rear of the Cambridge. Once you enter the bridge, you only need to walk a few steps forward to reach the captain's platform. Due to the single function of this layer, it is only used by the captain and a few senior officers, so the diameter of the disc is very small, and the diameter of the disc itself is only about 8 meters.

The diameter of the disc below is much larger, because it is necessary to house the driving, fire control, communication and other teams, and the diameter of the disc on this level is the same as that of a spherical bridge. Both are 25 meters, and since they are located about 3 meters below the upper disk, you need to go up the guò stairs to the upper disk and even leave the spherical bridge.

Since the diameter is the same as that of a spherical bridge, the transparent disc below is placed on the central axis of the spherical bridge, relying on mass effect technology to maintain the stability of the entire double-layer structure and divide the entire sphere into two equal halves.

The arrangement and display mode of this panoramic bridge is equivalent to turning the entire bridge into a panoramic spherical battle hologram, which greatly improves the intuitiveness and timeliness of combat and operands.

The people inside, whether they are the pilot, the fire control technician or the captain of the ship, can intuitively see the external information and their own work results, as well as the coordination information of other units, through the film display in the guò sphere. Makes it a lot easier to control ships and command battles.

Although all kinds of numbers will be intuitively displayed on the film display inside the sphere. But one of the most conspicuous HUDs is undoubtedly the one at the front of the panoramic spherical bridge. That's the point of the bow of the Pegasos, and it's also the firing range of the 6 main guns. So the HUD icons are very dense.

At this time, the bridge of the Pegasus was relatively busy, and the routes of the returning shuttles and the information transmitted by a large number of buoys dozens of astronomical units away were displayed in the sphere, and Damien, who was standing on the upper disk, was staring at these complicated icons, giving instructions from time to time.

"How are you here, is there anything interesting?" Shen Chao walked over and stood side by side with him, casually asking about the situation here.

"Compared to you, I'm bored to death here!" And. Like I said before, we need to get closer and observe the battlefield. At this distance, the warring sides can't find us, but we can't see the scene of the big battle for a while. ”

When Dai Mien saw Shen Chao coming back, he knew that the other party must have made a new gain on the surface of Zhiyuan Star. Pity him, the commander of the fleet, can only stand on the bridge every day and watch his other teammates do all the "interesting" work.

"It's okay to be close to the battlefield now, but you have to be one astronomical unit away from Reach. Shen Chao thought for a moment and agreed to Dai Mien's construction, which then gave the order for the fleet to move forward. The reason for limiting the distance to one astronomical unit is that based on their reconnaissance over the past few days, they have found that the main activity of both sides is concentrated in a small area near the telescope.

"Oh. By the way, how did the candidates for this plane go, I heard that the number 6 and the master chief are very promising. How about it, can No. 6 join the team in the short term? On his way to the battlefield at a slow pace, Damien asked how the latest recruitment plan was going.

The UNSC and the Earth government of the Halo Plane are full of slots. But it's a high-tech plane, and there's a lot of good candidates for the expedition to recruit. Among them, the first in the recruitment of combat personnel is naturally the non-commissioned officer chief with an immortal aura, like a son of the plane.

However, everyone knows that it is not easy to recruit Master Chief, after all, Master Chief has a deep bond with the UNSC, unless he can turn all the Spartan soldiers of the entire second phase over, he will definitely not be able to recruit him. It's going to be harder than recruiting Shepard before!

So the recent recruitment focus and the 3rd phase of the Spartan fighters and members of the ODST. Among these people, the Spartan warrior who is at the forefront and attracts the most attention from the team members is naturally codenamed Noble6.

Both official sources and their actual observations show that this guy's ability is most likely no worse than that of the Master Chief. Of course, in terms of the most important character attribute, that is, the luck value, he still can't compete with the general master officer of the character king.

"Maybe it's okay, but you also know, the mental state of these people who just know about time travel is not too stable, and it will be counterproductive to throw out the mystery now, and we need to give him some time to consider his situation and thoughts." ”

Shen Chao wasn't too anxious to recruit Noble No. 6, if their next move went smoothly, they would soon arrive at a Precursor ruin, and maybe even meet Master Chief face-to-face. When the two sides have a certain foundation for cooperation and cultivate mutual trust, the recruitment effect will be more ideal.

At the same time, in another corner of the Pegasos. The Noble6, armed with a body of damaged gear, was also directed to the ship's mechanical maintenance department. Prior to the refit, it was originally the Pegassos crew rest area.

At this time, there are hundreds of mechanics and maintenance assistants here who are nervously repairing spherical drones and hammerhead chariots damaged during previous missions. Here, the engineers checked the armor on Noble 6 and shook their heads.

It's not that they can't fix the many broken armors, it's that they don't think there's a need to fix it. Although the expedition also produced a large number of exoskeleton equipment, the equipment they produced was basically foreign trade goods and used to equip the garrison.

These equipment are not very demanding, and the exoskeleton of the basic and ODST is of the same level. The armor on the Noble No. 6 is not the same specification, the parts are not interchangeable, and the performance is not uniform, and if you forcibly replace those parts, it will cause uneven output and inconvenient operation.

That's why the expedition's engineers mostly don't repair individual equipment, especially mechanical exoskeletons. If it's broken, they're more inclined to just replace it with a new one. Because the cost performance of direct replacement is higher than that of repaired exoskeletons.

However, on the Noble No. 6, this criterion is not very easy to use, after all, although this is a relatively old-fashioned mechanical exoskeleton in structure, but the technical content is still there, and the materials and processing accuracy also look very good, and it seems a pity to give up the whole set of armor because of some minor damage.

"Show me your armor, kid. I can help! Hargrave suddenly appeared in the maintenance room and offered to help him repair his armor, and when Hargrave arrived, the engineers nodded and returned to their jobs.

All of the ship's technicians had been mentored by Hargrave to some degree, and some of them were even trained by Hargrave, so they all had a high regard for Hargrave.

Noble6 didn't know who the middle-aged man with a small amount of gray hair was in front of him, but he knew at a glance that this was an important figure in the expedition, because Hargrave had two heavily armed expedition members by his side at all times. Before this, he had only seen Shen Chao surrounded by equally well-equipped people performing the work of guards in the same way.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, the people on the ship were very friendly to him, and he did need to repair his equipment, so after thinking about it, he followed the other party to a maintenance room that looked more advanced.

It was a sizable room, filled with wall monitors and workbenches, as well as a lot of equipment that Noble6 couldn't tell what it was used for. Several of the workbenches had armor he was familiar with.

There are ODST and Spartan warriors, mainly the armor of the Spartan warriors of the third phase, and there are also a few more destroyed Thor's hammer armor. What these armors have in common is that they are all ruined, and some of them still bear the blood of their former owners in battle.
