Chapter 65: Back to Earth

The Space-Time Authority draws on the experience of its predecessors when formulating the threat level.

Missions are divided into four levels: Safe, Euclid, Keter, and Thaumiel, as well as the highest level, Neutralized.

The third level of Keter threat is often massive and complex. It can be extended to the intensity of the Third World War.

The order just now has been passed on by Adam to the Red Queen and Coco. The two worlds have already begun to prepare after receiving the announcement.

"I see, there are other troubles in this world!"

Rorschach thinks back to the string of characters that were mixed in with the Martian when he asked the system to search for new worlds.

Originally, Rorschach thought that it was the garbled code caused by the lack of computing power of the system, but who would have thought that the system was not fully expressed.

Project Lighthouse is based on a peculiar movie about the Missouri vs. Alien Spaceship of World War II.

One of the alien spacecraft came from the call of the Lighthouse program, and NASA announced the coordinates of the Earth to the alien planet like a fool, like the Indians of the American continent, waiting for the arrival of Columbus.

If you want to say how Rorschach was able to find out the problem, it can only be said that he has a mysterious interest in sea warships, and he can even climb four research and development routes in the warship world by fighting people and machines.

In particular, after knowing that there are 72 genders, the former Rorschach has a strong desire to change his gender to a battleship.

It is because of this enigmatic love that Rorschach is so familiar with the world of Supership. Relying on the four words of the lighthouse plan, I perceive the unevenness of the world.

Super Battleship is an old-fashioned story of GIs vs. aliens, except that it is designed around naval battles. In order to defend the earth and prevent the catastrophe, human beings are fighting to the death against alien warships at sea. In the desperate battle, the GIs were forced to use the Missouri battleship, which was already an old grandfather, to complete the Jedi counterattack against the aliens and successfully save the earth.

After a long-awaited goulash with potatoes, the Acadia supercarrier began to accelerate away from the gravitational pull of Mars and head towards space.

Looking at the gradually smaller Mars outside the window, Mark didn't have much nostalgia, after all, he had to be in an environment of calculating life and death all day long, and the pressure could be imagined.

Zhang Peng, who was opposite Mark, was half-lying on the bed, and as Mark's guardian, he lived in the same dormitory as Mark, and wanted to make sure that Mark would not violate the rules of the Authority.

On this ship, Mark, as the only E-class personnel, could not even enter the canteen without his company.

"Pony, remember to watch the training video again, after a while, you won't have a chance to watch it......"

Zhang Peng's words made Mark wonder.

However, before he could ask, the personal computer in Zhang Peng's left arm rang, and at the same time, the entire spacecraft sounded a special alarm.

'The ship jump has been activated, please sit tight. ’

Mark saw Zhang Peng suddenly support himself with his feet, and grasped the railing on the edge of the bed with both hands. Mark hurriedly followed Zhang Peng's example to fix himself.

'Start Jump, Countdown to Departure: 3, 2, 1......'

From the porthole, it was dark outside, with only the bits of blue ripples echoing across the ship's surface, proving that the ship was moving.

Within seconds, the ship was all gone, and Mark felt as if he had just adapted to the speed of the washing machine, and then he was suddenly pulled out of the plant.

And the cosmic background outside has also changed, the blue earth is close at hand, the continents and oceans, the cyclones in the Pacific Ocean, all of these things look so familiar.

'The transition has been completed and all parts of the personnel are free to move. Please pay attention to your personal terminal, the task has been transmitted. The broadcast is complete. ’

Mark looked at the Earth in front of him and still couldn't believe it.

"This is back to Earth?"

Zhang Peng took out a bottle of sunscreen spray, sprayed it on his black face, and said, "How can it be fake?" It's all about bringing you back to Earth and piggybacking on it! ”

"During the Hohmann window, it took Hermes 414 days to fly to Mars. And it will take much longer for them to return to Earth. And I returned to Earth nearly three hundred days before them? ”

Zhang Peng didn't care about Mark's self-talk, looked at his personal terminal, knocked on the railing next to the bed, and said: "Don't think about those useless things, now your task is to act as a bridge between the Authority and this earth, or think about what to say back to the earth......"

At this moment, in the bridge, two portals open around Rorschach, and the Red Queen and Coco each recount their preparations.

In fact, the easiest way to deal with this impending battle is to rely on the weapons on the transport ship and destroy the aliens before they are in Earth's orbit.

But Rorschach didn't have that choice, and Rorschach wouldn't be able to help until the Earth officially joined the Temporal Authority.

In Rorschach's design, the Temporal Authority is more like a joint organization, which only serves its own member states. At the same time, member states must also abide by the rules and regulations and complete the tasks assigned by the organization.

The Time and Space Authority has provided channels for exchanges and cooperation between various worlds, and it has already allowed some worlds to take advantage of it. To make a selfless dedication again would be too much of a virgin.

In order to enjoy benefits, you must take responsibility and fulfill your obligations.

Preliminary preparations still have to be made, although the mobilization of the Red Queen and the world of Koko has been quietly carried out. But Rorschach was not prepared to let the two worlds rush into the fight.

Sometimes it's easier to ask the gods than to send them, and if a battle between the two worlds is triggered, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

"Everything is done in secret first, and you don't need to send someone into the battle until I give the exact order. In addition, I want to borrow Casper for use! ”

Kou Koko's side is naturally as good as a stream, and she suddenly received an order to prepare for battle, which made her also startled, and now if she can slow down, she will have more time to prepare.

As for Casper, the moment Rorschach said what he wanted, someone tied him up and sent him from the other side of the portal.

Casper patted the non-existent dust on his body, looked around and said, "Is this a spaceship?" So what is the task that let me come? ”

"Negotiate with the humans of this planet!"

"Wow, that's a dangerous mission. Since it is the earth of modern society, I guess those five voices will not easily agree! ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't care. Joining the Moment Authority is their gain, not joining is their loss. ”

Looking at Caspar, who was playing treasure, Rorschach quickly gave him a bottom line with no bottom line.

"Got it, it looks like it's going to be interesting......"

Casper replied to Rorschach, holding on to the handrail to hold himself in place. Looking out from the bridge, the spacecraft has begun to break through the atmosphere and is about to land on Earth.

And for the Earth of this world, today they welcome the hero Mark Watney on Mars, and at the same time welcome the greetings of another world.
