Chapter 106: This Is Not Ambition
On the barren alien land, a convoy is moving slowly, with three armed armored vehicles in the front and rear, four transport vehicles in the middle, and a tractor-trailer, on which is a bloated-looking mecha squatting, a mecha on the left and right of the convoy to follow, and a reconnaissance vehicle in front of it to explore the way.
"Attention units, we are about to leave the safe zone, and we have not found any enemy situation for the time being, and we will meet up with the mech warriors who support us in thirty minutes."
In the entire communication channel, a voice from inside the reconnaissance vehicle sounded, and they not only had to drive the reconnaissance vehicle to the forefront, but also needed to control the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to reconnoiter the surrounding situation. The Federation has many reconnaissance satellites in alien near-Earth space, but the critical situation of Base 3 and other theaters of war require the resources of reconnaissance satellites.
"If only there were a plane, my butt hurts when I sit in the car." Shen Mu, who was sitting in the transport car, complained with a walkie-talkie: "There is not even an atmosphere on this alien planet, there is no oxygen, the thin air is full of carbon dioxide, the average temperature is minus 55 degrees, and the lowest temperature is minus 133 degrees. Alas, I still fantasized about being a flyer on another planet. ”
The process of transfer is extremely boring, there are no artificial roads on the surface of the alien land, and in order to ensure the survival of the first premise, the vehicles used on the alien planet have poor shock absorption. Therefore, both the speed and the ride comfort are very low, compared to the two-legged running mecha is much more applicable.
"Is it Second Lieutenant Shen Mu?" Someone asked in the communication channel.
"It's me, who are you?"
"I'm Dr. Steffen." Dr. Steffen, who was transferred in advance because of its importance, like Ji Xinghe, corrected after introducing himself: "Strictly speaking, there is oxygen on alien planets, and carbon dioxide is a gas that contains oxygen atoms, and in addition to the photosynthesis of plants, we can also separate it through technical means and make it into oxygen suitable for our human survival." As early as more than 60 years ago, the Alien probe of Eagle Island did related experiments, and successfully separated the oxygen atoms of carbon dioxide in the alien atmosphere to make about 5 grams of oxygen, which is equivalent to the amount of oxygen that an astronaut needs to breathe for about 10 minutes of normal activity, and the output of the corresponding equipment was about 10 grams of oxygen per hour at that time......"
Shen Mu was very bored, and others were equally bored, and when scientists began to do popular science, some people were curious to ask questions.
"Dr. Steffen, don't say it's more than sixty years ago, don't say it's me at that time, my parents weren't born, even Lao Ji was just born, talk about it now."
"Now, with the total number of people we have on the alien planet so far, the production of oxygen is more than enough. With oxygen, artificial water can be realized, and we now have a variety of related technologies, the most commonly used...... To put it simply, hydrogen is burned in oxygen to produce water, which can be used to grow crops and greenery to supply our food needs, and greenery can also produce new oxygen through photosynthesis, forming a virtuous cycle, alas......"
Dr. Steffen sighed as he spoke, "When there is no imperial threat, we can build a living base, realize the migration of aliens, and use aliens as a pedal to realize the exploration of the entire solar system, and even let aliens become outposts for us to explore the universe." ”
Shen Mu suddenly asked, "Dr. Steffen, are you researching the Jump Gate technique?" Can you talk about the Empire's Leap Gate? ”
"Well, you can say something that doesn't need to be kept secret." Dr. Steffen muttered slightly: "Before the discovery of the Empire, our Federation had two technical research directions on interstellar travel, one was the jump engine technology, and the other was the warp engine technology, which is also called the curvature engine technology. Both technologies are capable of superluminal travel in the cognitive sense, allowing us to cross interstellar space at a distance of light years. ”
To put it simply, the so-called warp engine is to create an artificial "bubble" of normal space-time around the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft can safely sail at a speed of several orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light, and at the same time avoid the relativistic problem of time dilation. ”
"The Empire's Jump Gate, the Jump Engine, is a bit of a wormhole, and the basic principle is to move through a folded space. Well, to put it simply, it is not a continuous voyage in our normal dimensional space, but a direct appearance from one coordinate to another like teleportation. ”
Shen Mu continued to ask, "Then how far have we studied?" Can we create a jump gate and directly counterattack the Imperial Star? Open a jump gate, throw 10,000 nuclear warheads, and blow them up. ”
"Unfortunately, we haven't been able to research it yet, as we've never captured the full Imperial Jump Device, and it's slow with only a few wreckage." After Dr. Steffen answered, he added: "But don't worry, because of their particularity, it is impossible to choose the transition location at will, they can only come to the alien near-Earth space before, and after we release the jamming device, they can only use the transition technology to come to the alien surface through the relevant equipment on the alien surface." ”
Shen Mu suddenly realized: "Does that mean that as long as we destroy all their jump devices on the alien planet, we can leave them alone and then wipe them out?" ”
"That's the way it is, in theory." Dr. Steffen laughed, "But didn't you just say that you were going to counterattack the Imperial Star?" If we destroy all the jump devices, how can we counterattack the Imperial Star, and how can we throw all the nuclear weapons over? ”
"Hehe......" Shen Mu sneered twice: "Throw a fart nuclear weapon, I can see it, if there is a day, they will definitely not throw nuclear weapons, because after throwing it, the environment of the Imperial Star will be worse than that of the alien planet, and they will only try to occupy the Imperial Star at the cost of countless lives." ”
These words silenced the communication channel, everyone knew that what Shen Mu said was the truth, compared to a planet that had been baptized by tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, what human beings needed more was a habitable planet.
In the long run, this option is the most advantageous, but in the end, it will require countless sacrifices.
"I didn't expect Second Lieutenant Shen Mu to be an anti-war person."
"Anti-war fart, if there is a day, I will definitely rush to the front...... Repair mechas, they should be fighting, and if they don't fight them, they will come to fight us. I was just...... Just ......"
"Just don't want too many people to die?"
"Yes, but how can there be no sacrifice in the war?" Shen Mu sighed again.
The communication channel fell silent again, and Ji Xinghe, who was in the sixteenth generation mecha, suddenly asked, "Dr. Steffen, may I ask, how many jump devices do they have on alien planets?" ”
"At present, we can determine two, the specific location is unknown, there may be a third, but at most there are only three, because the jump gate is not something that can be made casually, and the alien star is always in motion, and it must be combined with enough computing power to achieve the jump."
"What's wrong, boss?" Shen Mu's voice became excited: "Are you ready to do something big?" ”
Ji Xinghe responded calmly: "It's just asking." ”
"No, with what I know about you, you definitely won't just ask." Shen Mu didn't believe it: "If you really want to do such a big thing, you must take me with you." ”
Su He glanced at Ji Rong Xinyue, who was sitting quietly beside him, and said loudly: "Shen Mu, are you crazy, no matter how strong Lao Ji is, he is just one person, what are you talking about." ”
"Who said Lao Ji is a person? Lao Ji and me, and you, although the camera can't kill the imperial orangutan, it can kill the imperial monkey. Shen Mu retorted: "There is also the left-handed brother, and then bring the blind, the lame, the deaf, and the cripple with you." Wow, the old man and the company of remnants, plus a great mechanic and a timid war correspondent, have created an indisputably great miracle, and I am all excited to talk about it. ”
"I'm not talking about Lao Ji alone, but Lao Ji is just one person." After Su He corrected it, he asked: "But you tell me clearly first, why are you a great mechanic, but I am a timid war correspondent?" ”
"It's all the same, don't pay too much attention to the details, it's all about people, there must always be a negative teaching material in a team like a green leaf to set off the red flowers." Shen Mu said with a smile: "I have wronged you, Lao Su, I will give you a reversal when the time comes, but the timid war correspondent pressed the detonation button at the most critical time, regardless of life and death, and tsk......
If it weren't for Ji Rong Xinyue sitting next to him, Su He would definitely scold him directly, if this was not on the alien surface, he would definitely rush to the transport car where Shen Mu was and start fighting, even if he couldn't beat Shen Mu, who had recently started to practice martial arts with Ji Xinghe and Xinxin.
"Shen Mu, if you retire and write, I will definitely give you a subscription when the time comes."
"It's up to you, I'll write it when I retire in the future, and write the story of Lao Ji, just call it the old man and the mecha."
"This name is not good, it is better to call it a mecha and a knife, Lao Ji is good at using knives, and war is like a knife."
"You can't do it, it sounds very ordinary, the plot is very knife, and you will hit the street."
"What is the direct relationship between the plot and the name? Won't you write a little lighter, a little more passionate, and less sensational? ”
The noise between Shen Mu and Su He made everyone in the transfer team feel a little lighter, and Ji Xinghe, who was driving a mecha to follow the convoy, received a text message from Brother Zuo.
"Instructor, Master, when you become a special mecha warrior and have your own team, remember to take me, the blind and the lame will definitely be willing to follow you, you can't dislike us as cripples."
Ji Xinghe groaned slightly and then replied solemnly: "As long as you are willing to believe me." ”
The super-level mecha warriors all have their own squads, and the talents of the ace mecha warriors are called teams, and Ji Chenxing was once a member of Han Li's squad.
Speaking of the squad, Ji Xinghe forced himself not to think about Ji Chenxing, he thought of Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, who is said to be a very powerful sniper, and is very good at management, and when the time comes, he should have to leave a place for Chen Xun in his squad.
However, if Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun came over, the team should not be enough for him to condescend to, perhaps...... Can you be a team, is that an ambition?
"Attention all units, turn now, turn now."
The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere collapsed in an instant.
