Chapter 232: The Prophet of the Unknown
The stars were shining brightly tonight, and there was no heavy gray haze covering the sky.
Perhaps because of the reduction in human activity, the world after the war was indeed cleaner than the world before the war.
The daily production and activities of the mechanical family rely almost entirely on psionic energy, and do not produce too many exhaust gases or other pollutants.
More than 20 years ago, when psionic energy was first introduced, there was a promotion gimmick called "clean energy".
With the use of psionic energy, the pollution problem can be solved and the world will be a better place.
At that time, people probably didn't think that -
Psionic energy has indeed solved the pollution of this planet, but it has directly solved the source of the pollution problem, that is, human beings, in a violent way.
"It's almost twelve o'clock, the commander can't have been deceived by that alien system, right?"
Zhang Fang stared at the bottomless crack, and his heart became more and more worried.
"The commander has always been cautious, and he has to secretly observe every insect for a few days, how can he be so anxious this time?"
Xiong Wei was also anxious, he couldn't afford to lose Su Xia, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhang, is there a record of the 'Eurolock Company' in the mouth of the alien life, in Dragon City?" β
"No, there's no record."
In his many years of study in Dragon City, Zhang Fang had never seen this company on any post-war documents.
In the pre-war documents, there are many documents with the word "Oroch", the names of people and cities, but all of them have been dissipated during the war.
When the time came to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Fang's heart was uneasy to the extreme, and he planned to let Boss Shu's little robot forcibly go down and take a look.
At that moment, a voice finally came from the crack.
"Rest assured, everything is fine."
It was Susha's voice, and it sounded steady.
But the people outside did not let their guard down, they were afraid that the alien system would imitate Suxia's voice and trick them.
This kind of simulation technology was mature long before the war, but it was not applied on a large scale.
"Commander, is that you?" Standing in front of the rift, Xiong Wei asked loudly.
"It's me."
As Su Xia's voice came out, the light in the depths of the rift lit up again, dark red, and it looked very evil.
Su Xia put on a simple jetpack, activated it, and with a buzzing sound, the whole person took off on the spot, rushed out of the abyss, and returned to the surface.
After seeing him in person, everyone relieved their hearts and hurriedly surrounded him.
"Commander, what's inside?"
"Is there any living extraterrestrial life?"
"Can this ship be restarted?"
"Will that AI named Hal cooperate with our ......?"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Fang and several other researchers were the most curious to answer, and they had been studying outside the rift for several days without progress.
Su Xia smiled, pressed her hands, and motioned for everyone to calm down first.
He took control of the jetpack and slowly landed on the edge of the rift.
He then took out a small, silver-gray disc-shaped mechanical device, placed it firmly on the grass, and pressed the switch in the middle.
"Ka-"
The center of the disc suddenly lit up, and the light was still dark red, casting a series of rays of light, interweaving Howl's red dots in the air.
This is Howl's portable mobile carrier that can be carried around.
"Hello." Hal said in a calm voice, "You are friends with the captain, and I have included you in my friendly list, so you can enter and exit the wreckage at will." β
"Captain?"
Zhang Fang was stunned, still a little wary of Hal, and didn't react for a while.
This spaceship has crashed for many years, right, but the captain is still alive?
How can they be friends?
Wrong......
His eyelids twitched, and through Howl's translucent red body, he saw Su Xia smiling behind him.
Zhang Fang trembled, took several deep breaths, and couldn't help but ask: "Commander, ...... you You're the captain of the ship below? β
"It's just a matter of luck."
Su Xia nodded slightly, behaving very clearly.
Hearing this affirmative answer, Zhang Fang's brain buzzed, and he suddenly felt that he might be witnessing the birth of a legend.
Being recognized by an alien civilization means that part of Suxia's upper limit has exceeded the top range of this planet.
"Commander...... Captain? β
Xiong Wei and several other researchers also reacted, and they were all dumbfounded, staring at Su Xia in a daze, as if they were knowing him for the first time.
The shocked gaze was like watching an alien.
How long has Su Xia been down?
It's just over an hour, right?
This is the captain?
"It's just normal operation." Su Xia smiled, as if she had just done a trivial matter, and she didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Smack!"
Zhang Fang suddenly slapped his head and said regretfully: "I didn't inform the Dragon City side if I knew it earlier, those people will come in a few days, it will only make this place more chaotic." β
"It's okay, they can come, Mr. Zhang, you are also kind."
Su Xia replied with a smile, anyway, those guys in Dragon City don't know the address of the new station, and the initiative is still here.
Zhang Fang sighed secretly, only blaming himself for being too anxious.
Dragon City is still sending him messages, asking him to give out the specific location of his new station, and has belittled the scientific research and technology of the Oasis Camp more than once in the message.
His teacher, Shi Sishi, was also sending him messages, and in the messages, the old man expressed his dissatisfaction with Su Xia many times.
In Shi Sishi's description, Su Xia is a person who is impatient, does not consider the consequences, has a low level of education, is short-sighted, and is extremely selfish.
But what the old guy didn't know was that Su Xia had already taken control of the spaceship.
"Alas......"
Zhang Fang thought of the contradiction between his teacher and Su Xia, hesitated again and again, and did not send out the news after all.
Being caught in the middle made him feel very uncomfortable.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that both sides were clearly Terrans, and in this difficult situation, they should have been unanimous with the outside world.
"Where there are people, there is a struggle, and Mr. Zhang should not take it to heart." Su Xia could see what this guy was thinking at a glance, and said to Zhang Fang and the rest with a smile: "Let's go down and take a look first, I know you have all been waiting for a long time." β
"Yes, the Commander is right......"
Zhang Fang sighed a few times, where there are people, there is indeed a struggle, but there is peace in the oasis camp.
There is no such thing as fighting for power here, even if the strength of Blu-ray and White Horse and others is stronger than Xiong Wei, they only want to take care of their own small organizations, and they never want to seize control of the Oasis camp.
With mixed feelings, Zhang Fang put on a jetpack and flew into the rift under Su Xia's instructions.
Xiong Wei and the others followed, excited, and slowly landed on the crooked corridor below.
"This is an exploration ship, it crashed more than twenty years ago, and the other end of this corridor leads to the heat dissipation chamber, and behind the heat dissipation chamber is the energy module, but part of the energy module crashed in another place with the rest of the wreckage in the disintegration of the year......
"At the end of the corridor, it leads to the living pod, please come with me."
Su Xia was only here for the second time, but he already knew about the situation of the spaceship and took on the role of commentary.
He led everyone into the first cabin, which was the area where the crew exercised back then.
Xiong Wei and the others looked around in amazement, as if they were looking at some rare treasure, carefully touching every inch of space, and taking pictures and records as they walked.
These guys are more rigorous.
Just in the first cabin, they stayed for half an hour, constantly collecting all kinds of items in the cabin, not even the bones of the dead.
"Traveling in space for many years may lead to bone loss, and the bones of these crew members are very valuable for research." One of the researchers explained Susha in the same way that he explained it to Hal.
Hal didn't say anything, now that Susha was the captain, as long as Susha agreed, he agreed.
In fact, for researchers on this planet, as long as they have been in space, even a pile of dirt, it is worth researching.
The clock ticked to four o'clock in the morning.
A group of people came to the virtual combat experience cabin.
As soon as they heard that they could experience the alien battlefield, Xiong Wei and the others were eager to try it and immediately expressed their desire to experience it.
"The hell battlefield is not very friendly, Mr. Xiong, you can start with the initial ordinary battlefield."
Su Xia opened up the rest of the simulation room for them, and reminded them of some precautions when they wore the simulation equipment.
Xiong Wei listened carefully and firmly remembered the words "hell battlefield".
It didn't take long for the guys to end the simulation one by one.
Looking at them like that, they must have tried the battlefield of hell and experienced one or more deaths at the speed of light.
"Except for the campaign mode, the rest of the simulation modes are very good, such as the single-player simulation." Xiong Wei thought of the usefulness of the simulation system, "In the camp, there are still many young people who have not used firearms and weapons much, let them come in for training, you can help them quickly adapt to ......"
"Well, Mr. Xiong is right."
Su Xia had experienced the solo training mode and had thought about it.
It's just that there are too few experience rooms in this wreckage, and there is only one cabin, a total of sixteen small rooms, and there is not much training time that each person can allocate.
Next, Hal led Xiong Wei and them to continue their browsing, while Susha stayed in the simulation cabin.
He needed to get three "S" class evaluations as soon as possible, and then get that sixth-order mecha.
At this stage, strength is still the most important.
Su Xia entered the first experience room, walked up to the central round platform, took a few deep breaths to adjust his state, and let the surrounding metal robotic arm control equipment to put on himself.
γStar Redemption, Welcome Backγ
[I detected that your last simulation experience was "Hell Battlefield: Battle of Heaven", do you want to start the simulation of "Battle of Heaven" directly?] γ
This system is quite convenient, Su Xia directly clicked [Yes], and his eyes suddenly darkened.
γHell Battlefield: Battle of Heaven is loading......γ
γβ¦β¦γ
After a while, a feeling of weightlessness appeared, as did the pressure on the body as it fell rapidly.
Pale light squeezed into the chamber through the observation window of the space pod, shining on the faces of each young soldier, making the beads of sweat and nervousness on their faces clearly visible.
War is always a word that makes young people feel passionate and afraid.
Su Xia couldn't help but think of the situation on the other side of the earth.
It has been more than eighty years since the last world war.
According to Hal, if the lower civilizations are unable to enter the Star Age, resources are becoming more and more strained, and a devastating war will one day break out.
Will the next World War be far away?
"Humβ"
The thrust reverser engine started, the fireworks were blazing, the airborne cabin slowed down, and the weightlessness and pressure suddenly lightened.
According to the last practice, Su Xia once again ordered the team members in the cabin to act with him, and even the time was just right, and once again repelled the attack of the insects.
On the way to the assembly point, when he encountered the second complete airborne capsule, Su Xia directly threw a grenade over, leaving several teammates stunned.
"Boom!"
The explosion was deafening, and the entire space capsule trembled, and a heart-rending roar of pain rang out from the cabin.
Before the parasitic bugs could crawl out, the high explosives they tied to the back of the corpse caused a series of explosions.
The entire space capsule was severely deformed and torn apart in a series of explosions, and the lake of flesh and blood in the capsule was everywhere, giving people a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu of an old-fashioned sci-fi horror movie.
was blown to pieces, and no matter how tenacious the vitality was, it was impossible to survive.
"It's a bug!"
Hearing those roars, the faces of the rest of the teammates turned white, especially the captain.
If it weren't for Su Xia stopping him, he would have planned to go in and search for useful supplies.
As soon as he thought of the possible result, he was drenched in a cold sweat, and his back was wet with sweat.
"These terrible Zerg creatures are really hard to guard." The captain wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "The instructor was right at the beginning, there can't be any luck with the Zerg. β
"The bugs know we're going to see the full airborne capsule, is this empathy?"
"I didn't expect them to have such a high intelligence, I should have known that I should have fought more bugs in the simulation system......"
ββ¦β¦β
Even after complete training and a large number of simulations, most soldiers' impressions of bugs are still stuck in the inherent impressions of "low intelligence" and "strong fecundity".
After this incident, the members of the team have become more cautious, paying attention to the surrounding environment at any time, and they have the feeling that they are all soldiers.
After the team set off again, the captain expressed his gratitude to Su Xia: "Thank you, the grace of saving your life cannot be repaid." β
"It's fine."
"By the way, how did you know there were bugs in this space capsule?" The captain asked about the doubts in his heart.
Another team member also asked, "Yes, brother, when you searched the first space module, you didn't stop the captain because you knew there were no bugs in it?" β
"You're not going to be able to predict the prophet, are you?"
"I've heard that some psionic talents have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown, but if you are in a group with us, most of them will not have psionic ......"
The players all have doubts, from the beginning to the present, Su Xia's performance is really weird.
Whether it's responding to a surprise attack after landing or detonating the space capsule this time, it's as if he knows every danger and responds accordingly.
It feels exactly like a game rewind.
One of the team members thought for a moment and said, "In the Empire's simulated combat system, I can make this prediction, and that's because I've already died once in those dangers." β
"Wait...... We're not going to be virtual characters in some analog system, are we? β
