Chapter 5: Charl

Qing Shui's coolness calmed him down, but despite this, his heart was still not at peace, "You must find a way to save the rangers in it, you can't lose too much." With that thought in mind, he returned to the bridge again.

"Are you okay? Buddy! When Renault saw Frank return to the bridge, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

“xiexie！ I'm fine. Frank smiled.

Reynolds: "You can't do anything when it counts, man! ”

Frank smiled, "Of course! My physique is more than 100 times better than yours! ”

"How long will it take to get to Char? Matt! He walked over to the main console and asked. Horner saluted neatly and said, "Everything is normal, and we will be able to reach the predetermined coordinate point in another eighteen hours!" Sir! Frank nodded, "Sounds good, order the soldiers to get everything ready, recuperate in Zuihou for eighteen hours, and after eighteen hours there will be a real battle." ”

Horner: "Understood. Sir! ”

Frank lowered his head silently, looking at the space simulation coordinates of the planet Char, no one bothered him, and everyone present knew that he should be thinking about a strategy against Char. For this stupid operation, everyone must carry out this so-called rescue operation with the determination to die.

"Matt!" Frank looked up at Horner and said, "I need information about the planet Char, the more detailed the better." I remember that during the 'Union Wars' on this planet, the armies of the Tyranid Federation and the Commonwealth of Moria fought a series of large-scale wars on this planet! Let's see if you can give me a more comprehensive picture of Charl! It's best to be up-to-date! ”

"Understood!" Horner's spirit was shocked, and he immediately danced quickly on the main console.

"Is there anything you can do?" Renault asked.

Frank shook his head, "There is no specific method that will work, but one thing is certain, this is an extremely dangerous operation!" He paused, then continued: "There are two points that make me most uneasy, forget it, these two points have covered all the dangers. There is a 90% chance that our ships will be attacked by the Zerg air force when they arrive in Charl. And we're still going to have to make a ground push in that nightmarish shijie. An aerial problem and a ground problem, we obviously can't go head-to-head with them in the Zerg's hometown, that would be a self-defeating death. Once we arrive in Char, we must first avoid the Zerg air force, but in order to save people, we must set foot on that planet, which means that we will lose a lot! ”

Both of them were silent, it was obvious that it would not have been a stupid rescue operation. "Sir! Everything you need is here. Horner's voice broke the immersion. Frank turned his attention to the main console.

Horner: "This is the most detailed information I can get about Charl!" Sir! It is unbelievable that during the 'Union War', the two sides actually had a large-scale nuclear confrontation on this planet, which directly led to Char's already harsh environment to be worse again. ”

Details about Char are displayed on the main console.

Char. A volcano littered with ashes shijie. The diameter reaches 10,521 kilometers, the standard gravity value of 0.91, which is a shijie with extremely low humidity, the main terrain of Char is volcanic landforms, the geographical distribution of the planet mainly has 52 craters, 18 mountains (all volcanoes), there are 38 magma lakes and 5 magma seas, the magma sea changes all year round, and the crustal movement is active and frequent. Significant continental drift is frequent

Char has two purple moons with diameters greater than a thousand kilometers, Iris and Etter. Char is considered an uninhabitable, volcanic planet, not only is most of the surface covered in thick volcanic ash, but the atmosphere is also filled with a pungent smell. Char is surrounded by a class VI sub-white dwarf with the designation F0 and an irregular variable star with the designation M8. The high-intensity ultraviolet and gamma rays emitted by the double star make Charle's harsh environment even more dangerous. Char's orbit is elliptical, which means that whenever the planet revolves to perihelion, the sunny side is melted into a sea of magma; The maximum temperature can reach 800 degrees Celsius. And when the planet orbits to its cold aphelion, the temperature can drop to minus 48 degrees, and the boiling sea of magma will quickly cool into islands.

"Oh my God!" Renault looked at the data above and couldn't help but marvel. "Char! If there is a hell, it is here, a raging sea of fire and air that burns people alive. ”

"How do bugs survive on this planet?" Renault suddenly asked, "How can creatures survive in such an environment?" ”

Frank looked at him and said nonchalantly, "Those flying insects can survive even in the cold outer space without oxygen, what is the accident that they can appear in Char?" ”

"That's true, when I didn't say it." Reynolds was speechless.

Frank's gaze shifted to the main console again, "According to Char's current trajectory, this planet will reach aphelion in another week, which means that this planet is currently in the coldest period, heh-!" Is this good news? This means that we can step on this piece of ashes. ”

"At least we're landing on this planet on the ground instead of lava, which is good news!" Renault said. "Don't forget, if we can do that, so will the bugs." Frank interjected

Renaud looked at him: "So, do you have a haode countermeasure?" ”

"Nope!" Frank spread his hands and said.

"Please! Buddy! Can you not answer so neatly? Renault looked at him helplessly, and Frank shrugged his shoulders, "It's true that there is no haode strategy, I just know that we can't and can't make a strategy against the Zerg, they won't follow our perfect schedule, not to mention that this is their hometown, which means we will face thousands of bugs." ”

"I'm going to have to improvise, Jim!" Frank said

After 18 hours, the Rangers managed to make the jump to the Define Coordinate Point.

"Matt! All combat groups were ordered to rest immediately, time was running out for us, and the landing was imperative. Renault said to him.

"Yes! Sir! Horner didn't drag his feet in the slightest, and immediately took the order down.

"You'd better go and take a break, I'll be on duty here." Frank said.

"Forget it, I'm too sleepy to get a stimulant." Renault shook his head and said. The subspace jump will cause the human body to collapse, the human body can't withstand such high-speed movement, and people with poor physique can't make long-distance jumps at all, but there are some people here, that is, ghost agents.

Seeing his insistent look, Frank was not talking nonsense. The pitch-black cosmic space fell into the eyes again, and this pitch-black airspace gave people an inexplicable oppression, and this was Char. He stood on the bridge and looked down at the ash shijie at his feet, the entire surface of the planet was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash. Even as the Hyperion sailed to the periphery of the planet's high orbit, he could see pillars of fire rising from the pure gray-black planet, with some orange or gold flashes as a precursor to their appearance. Preliminary scans of the instrument show that the entire planet is suffering from frequent eruptions of volcanoes, and the surface of some areas is quite unstable, the continental plates are drifting rapidly under the influence of the hot magma in the interior, and the crustal movement is quite active.

When the Rangers arrived in Char, they passed through a huge red planet, they carefully avoided the wide golden halo in the orbit of that planet, and after arriving at Char, they parked their capital ship in Charl's orbit and carefully scouted the two moons of this planet, because Frank felt that there was a great possibility that the Zerg air force would be stationed on the two moons. The Rangers have now arrived in the mouth of the tiger, and the slightest carelessness will pay a heavy price.

"Sir! There is a case! Horner said suddenly in a solemn tone.
