The anchor's deep voice echoed through the arena. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the huge venue, nearly 1,000 people listened quietly, and they didn't dare to make a sound. With the voice of the anchor, everyone's thoughts gradually drifted away from the vast universe......
The first contact between two human civilizations appeared in the A171 star field.
A171 Star Field, A174 Star Field, A177 Star Field, this is a resource-rich nebula discovered by the Eastern Star Domain Colonial Corps a few years ago.
Among them, A174 and A177 were the first to be cleaned, and after the alien beasts in the star field were emptied, they were handed over to private development companies for development.
With the previous experience, the military thought that the cleaning of the A171 star field would also be very smooth, but just one day two years ago, the fate of mankind changed completely.
Xue Zhongzhi is the deputy battalion commander of the Advance Battalion of the 9th Regiment of the 68th Mixed Brigade of the 75th Division of the Eastern Star Domain Colonial Corps, and also serves as the company commander of the Pioneer Company.
It was the early morning of September 7, Earth time, and the ground was still burning hot with the scorching light of a star in the A171 field numbered EDD-097, a star several light-years away.
Planet EDD097 produces a resource called tortoiseshell, which is named after the cracks on the surface of the stone resemble tortoise shells on Earth, and is a highly radioactive mineral. It can be said that the entire planet EDD097 is a huge radioactive source.
Although the radioactivity is strong and there is great harm to humans, for the soldiers who pioneer the colony, whether it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire or a poisonous snake trap, they must be explored. And once the tortoiseshell stone can be successfully developed, it means that human beings have obtained a steady stream of mineral stars.
When Xue Zhongzhi led the thirty people of the Pioneer Company to take a small spaceship, break away from the mothership, and set foot on the planet EDD097, it was 4:22 a.m. on September 8, Earth time, and this time was destined to go down in history.
"Everything works fine. "The Pioneer Company's probes inspected the ship's surroundings and gave the command to disembark.
So Xue Zhongzhi ordered everyone to put on combat uniforms, open the hatch, and walk off the spaceship.
The combat uniforms used by the military are the most advanced at present, close to the body, do not affect the activity, not only can withstand the heavy blow of alloy weapons, but also can isolate high temperature, ultra-low temperature, radiation, strong magnetic field and other dangers that are easy to encounter in the universe.
Scouts, protective soldiers, heavy weapons soldiers, assault soldiers, shield soldiers, and medical soldiers disembarked one after another, and Xue Zhongzhi was in the middle of the team, responsible for commanding the cooperation of all arms.
"Scout, be safe!"
"Guards, safe!"
"Heavy weapons, ready!"
"Assault group, ready!"
"Shieldmen, ready!"
......
All arms carefully set up their true shapes and looked around vigilantly. Although he was wearing combat boots, there was still a hot heat under his feet.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the pioneer company are all the elite of the military elite, all of them are innate warriors, and their combat effectiveness is extremely disciplined, even if they have a knife under their feet, they are unmoved.
"Make sure it's safe, and the scout gets out of the way. The protective soldiers protect the left and right wings, the shield soldiers and the assault group follow, and the heavy weapons group pays attention to the vitality support!" Xue Zhongzhi ordered.
The team moved slowly, some were responsible for advancing, some were responsible for reconnaissance, some were protecting, some were fire supporting, some were ready to charge at any time, and some were specifically responsible for filming every step taken, and doing a good job of recording various terrain and landforms and sampling mineral resources.
At the same time, the sensing devices they carry are constantly mapping the planet. Patches of explored areas are marked green, but most of the planet remains in gray "unknown" areas, and no one knows what is hidden there.
In the sky 1,200 kilometers above the head of the Pioneer Company, the mothership was hanging high, receiving all kinds of information sent back by the Pioneer Company, scanning the surroundings and preparing for support at any time.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and it looked like a regular patrol, with no surprises and no dangers.
As the minutes passed, the Pioneer Company gradually adapted to the surrounding environment after the initial cautious trial, and the speed of its advance increased significantly.
With just a few dozen people, of course, it is impossible to explore the entire planet. The task of the Pioneer Company is to determine the indicators of an unfamiliar environment, confirm safety, and then clear an area of about 30 square kilometers for the mother ship to land.
When the mothership falls, it becomes a colony base, and a steady stream of soldiers marches into all corners of the planet, advancing separately, exploring every area until the entire planet becomes a green safe zone.
The Pioneer Company's mission was carried out smoothly, the area turned green, and it was getting closer and closer to the minimum standard of thirty square kilometers, and it seemed that they would soon be able to ask the mothership to land and then have a good rest.
At this moment, the scout in front suddenly stopped and made a strange noise.
"What's going on ahead?" Xue Zhongzhi's spirit has been tense, without any slackness, and he immediately sent out an inquiry when he saw this.
"Found footprints ......," replied the scout.
"Can you tell what kind of alien beast it is from the footprints?" Xue Zhongzhi asked as he pressed the alert button to remind everyone to pay attention to the situation around them.
"It's not like the footprints left by a strange beast, it's more like a ...... Our footprints. The scout's answer puzzled Xue Zhongzhi.
"What do you mean by our footprints?" Xue Zhongzhi asked.
"Company commander, I can't describe it. The scout said, "Could you please come and see?"
Xue Zhongzhi frowned, this group of scouts has been a bit weak recently, how can it be like the original batch of veterans, all of them are shrewd and capable.
With a hint of dissatisfaction, Xue Zhongzhi walked to the front of the line, and then saw those footprints.
Almost at the same time, the commander of the mothership, Rear Admiral Liu Hanbo, also received the real-time footage.
Xue Zhongzhi and Liu Hanbo both looked at those footprints blankly, and somewhat understood why the Zhan Scout said that those footprints seemed to be left by "us".
Because they are human footprints, you can even see the pattern on the bottom of the shoe from the details of the footprints.
"Human footprints?" Xue Zhongzhi was taken aback, before this, could it be that humans had already landed on this planet? Could it be that the hateful interstellar pirates?
Just as Xue Zhongzhi was thinking, the guards in the direction of three o'clock suddenly sounded the alarm.
Xue Zhongzhi turned his head sharply and saw a scene that he will never forget.
Behind a huge rock, a head poked out.
The one was wearing a helmet on his head, and he couldn't see it clearly, but the moment Xue Zhongzhi saw the other party, he was sure that the other party was also looking over.
This is the first intimate contact between two human civilizations!
