Chapter 310 Departure for Exploration
About half an hour later, a spacecraft anchorage of the Brave.
This is where many small spacecraft, such as frigates and transport ships, are parked. It is located on the top floor of the Brave and has a large area that can park hundreds of different spacecraft at the same time.
Wang Zhifan came here at this time to participate in an urgent space exploration mission.
"Hello! Captain Wang! I am Detective Jessica! I leave this mission to you!"
Under the vast and bright transparent skylight that could see the outer space above his head, Wang Zhifan saw the leader of the exploration team he was going to escort this time.
She is a very young, blond, white female scientist with a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Her temperament is calm and steady, and she does not make people feel like a vase because of her beautiful appearance.
"Hello! I will fully cooperate with your investigation work!"
Wang Zhifan was also involved in this kind of mission for the first time, so he didn't know the best way to answer, so he just said it casually. To cope with the situation.
He saw that there were not many targets that he needed to protect in this mission. There were four scientists in total, including the beautiful woman in front of him. There were two men and two women. Among the men, there was a middle-aged white man and a yellow man. A skinny young man. Apart from the female captain, she is a black girl. Her punk style looks suggest that she is very knowledgeable about computer technology.
As the security captain, he also led four helpers, that is, four fully armed clones. This was the maximum number of personnel assigned to him. It is said that any more would take up too much space in the spacecraft and hinder the exploration mission.
“Now that we are ready, let’s board the ship quickly.”
After the two parties met, the two captains chatted for a few words to confirm their respective conditions, and immediately headed to the anchorage. A small spacecraft parked on board.
The size of this spacecraft is only about the size of three trucks, in order to ensure sufficient flexibility and be able to handle exploration missions with ease.
“Please look here! Verify the mission number and personnel identity!”
During the final step of boarding the ship, an anchorage staff member came over with a camera-like instrument to check and identify everyone, including the four clones, to prevent anyone else from messing up the exploration mission.
Then the four scientists and Wang Zhifan's five-person escort team boarded the exploration spacecraft one after another, entered the cabin, and put on the spacesuits needed to enter outer space.
The spacecraft itself is also equipped with two pilots, one pilot and one pilot, but they are doing pre-flight adjustments in the cab, so Wang Zhifan and others did not disturb others.
After a short period of time, in the passenger cabin, which was not very spacious, Wang Zhifan followed the steps of others and put on the entire space suit, and found that this special suit that looked a bit bloated did not affect him very much. It can be seen from many design details that this set of products has gone through many years of iteration and has become very mature.
"Dear exploration team members! The spacecraft is about to take off, please fasten your seat belts!"
As the driver's reminder sounded from the overhead speaker, Wang Zhifan and the other nine people all checked the seat belts fixed on the space suits. It has to be said that this classic design is still reliable in this world.
Then the roar of the spacecraft engine soon sounded. Under the influence of the push force that gradually increased and was fixed at a certain intensity, a total of nine passengers followed the small spacecraft and left the huge Brave One. The mothership sailed into the boundless space.
"This acceleration time... is far from reaching sub-light speed, right? The coordinates of this mission are not far away?"
About ten minutes later, I felt the pushing force on my back gradually disappeared and the spacecraft entered a stable and constant speed state. Wang Zhifan couldn't help but express his doubts.
The helmets on their current spacesuits do not have their masks closed, so they can easily communicate with each other without activating electronic communications.
"Yes, the node where the mothership is currently parked is very close to the mission location, and we will be there soon."
The leading white female scientist then smiled at Wang Zhifan and replied, with a hint of faintness in her beautiful blue eyes. There was a flash of excitement, showing that he was very motivated for this exploration.
"Please let our team clear the way in front of us."
Wang Zhifan felt that this woman was a bit similar to the chief executive he had seen, both of them were scientific research madmen, so he immediately reminded her to wait until the time of investigation. Don't get too excited about the location, don't rush into the ruins, otherwise their security team will be negligent in their duties.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention. The empire has lost many explorers due to accidents in recent years, and I don't want to be one of them."
The woman nodded immediately after hearing Wang Zhifan's reminder and replied seriously.
"Captain Jessica, I think you should not put too much hope in it. Maybe the wreckage found belongs to a missing explorer from the empire and is not an alien relic."
The yellow-skinned young man among the scientists spoke at this time. He may have felt that his captain was too enthusiastic about the expedition and did not want her to fall into disappointment later.
"Tao is right. This was the case last time we went to explore a planet. The intelligence said it might be an alien ruins, but it turned out to be a camp abandoned by a human explorer."
The punk-style black girl also echoed after hearing this, with a look of not looking forward to it on her face.
"But that time our exploration results revealed the past of a mysterious explorer. Isn't it interesting? Not only alien ruins are valuable."
The only one among the four. A young white man then joined the conversation and shrugged, showing an indifferent expression.
But the focus of everyone's attention was Jessica, a white female scientist. She seemed not to be affected by the words of others. She was still in a state of implicit passion and expectation, and she immediately replied:
“Please rest assured, the information sent from above this time is very In detail, according to data model analysis, there is a 93.84% chance that our exploration target is a remnant of an alien civilization. There is a high probability that it will not disappoint us."
"Such a high probability that it is something from aliens. ? Then it seems that the copy is going to be stronger.”
Wang Zhifan, who was sitting next to the four people, frowned when he heard this and thought to himself. As a security guard himself, he would actually prefer that the exploration team not make any big discoveries and only encounter human products, because no matter how dangerous human creations are, they are still within their understanding, but alien creations are different. He is likely to Unable to understand the opponent's attack method, the uncertainty is huge.
After a few minutes of relaxed discussion, they felt that the spacecraft they were on began to continuously decelerate. This caused their bodies in spacesuits to keep leaning forward, feeling the continuous seat belt pulling force.
This deceleration process also lasted for about ten minutes, until at a certain moment, a notification came from above their heads that the spacecraft pilot had arrived at the location.
"Dear exploration team members! The spacecraft has arrived within 200 meters of the target. Please wear your helmet, unbuckle your seat belt, and open the hatch on the right side to go out for exploration! Please maintain contact with the spacecraft during the exploration process! We will provide support if necessary! ”
From the briefing of the spacecraft pilot, we can know that they are not purely transport drivers, but also bear the responsibility of liaison and support. They are regarded as the logistics support force of the expedition team, while the security team led by Wang Zhifan is the frontline support, and the division of labor is very clear.
The nine people in the passenger compartment of the spacecraft, including the clone soldiers, immediately began to move in an orderly manner. They first closed the visors of their spacesuit helmets, keeping their bodies in a completely closed state, and then The local area communication network was also debugged to ensure smooth communication among everyone, and then everyone unfastened their seat belts, and Wang Zhifan's security team took the lead in exiting the cabin.
When Wang Zhifan unfastened his seat belt, he found that his whole body suddenly became light and weightless, which meant that he was in a state of weightlessness. This feeling was very wonderful, but for those who have practiced Feng Lei It's quite easy for him to adapt to the Heaven-Stepping Technique.
Then he moved to the right hatch by pulling the hooks on the inner wall of the passenger compartment. When he opened the hatch, he was shocked by the scene outside.
In the starry but pitch-black space background, under the searchlight of the spacecraft, a long gray "boulder" hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters in diameter was broken into three sections. Floating quietly in the darkness, it looks It looks very much like a long and narrow meteorite, but at a glance it makes people feel that it should not be a natural product, because its overall outline is too regular, as if someone has carefully polished it, and then broke apart for some reason, forming this shape. A tragic look.
"Oh God! Look at its streamlined shell! The mysterious and peculiar configuration! I dare say this is definitely not a product of our human empire! We finally encountered alien ruins!"
Wang Zhifan and his The four clone brothers have just started The non-working micro-electric pushers equipped on their respective space suits left the hatch, and the exclamation of the female captain Jessica rang out from their helmets. She felt as if her long-cherished wish had finally come true. Her words were full of excitement and tightness. He jumped out of the hatch with Wang Zhifan and others.
“It’s so exciting! I wonder what progress this discovery will bring to our human technology?”
The middle-aged white scientist was equally excited. He looked at the man in front of him. The gray creation brought considerable visual impact, and they were already looking forward to the harvest of their trip.
"Slow down, everyone! Let our security team explore the route first to ensure safety before following up!"
Seeing that the eyes of these scientific researchers were shining brightly, Wang Zhifan hurriedly reminded them through the local area communication network.
He then arranged for four clone soldiers to activate the spacesuit electric thrust and move in front of him to clear the way for everyone, while he himself followed while carefully observing the target in front, relying on his super high perception. Detect any lurking dangers.
“There seems to be no sense of danger... The thing is relatively empty inside, without any signs of life, but there are many cold creations suspected of intelligent civilization, which may be an alien spacecraft that has been abandoned for a long time. ..."
Wang Zhifan has always attached great importance to personal safety. Even though his strength is now out of the weak category, he still has a clear understanding of the situation ahead, and then increases the electric thrust power to keep moving forward. near.
"Captain Wang! The situation on the target's appearance is very simple! I suggest going inside to investigate first!"
Jessica's excited voice soon sounded again in the communication network. She also saw that this creation was something like a spaceship, so she wanted to go inside and take a look as soon as possible.
"Okay, please follow us."
After hearing this, Wang Zhifan directed his younger brother to adjust the direction and approach a break in the target ahead, and carefully drilled into it.
While moving forward, since the auxiliary lighting provided by the nearby spacecraft could not illuminate the overall situation, Wang Zhifan's entire team turned on the light sources on their helmets to illuminate the way forward for the scientists behind them.
When they drilled into the crack of the huge gray long object and looked inside, they found that what appeared in the light was a pile of indescribable "clutter", all of which were gray and without bright colors. , some are large and small blocks stacked together, and some are long and short strips connected together. Overall, it gives people a complex feeling of chaos and order.
"These are some kind of mechanical structures that have stopped operating for a long time. You can get close to study them, but don't move them if you encounter switches or buttons."
Wang Zhifan, one of the first to examine these unknown objects The danger of them was quickly ruled out. After all, his perception was not a decoration, the accuracy was higher than that of most detection instruments, and he was not afraid of interference from external factors.
"I feel like they are a bit similar to a transistor structure, maybe this is a computer control part."
The punk-style black girl in the space suit came in and took a look and commented immediately.
“The detector shows that the material they are composed of is an unknown alloy, but the main element contains iron... Decay detection shows that they have existed for at least 100,000 years, and it is certain that they are not products of us humans. , at that time our ancestors could not even cross the ocean on the Earth, let alone reach this deep space.”
At this time, Captain Jessica had taken out her professional instruments and tested everywhere. When the results came out, the face in her helmet showed a very excited look, because the results had confirmed that they had really arrived at an alien place. remains.
“We need to collect all the data here as soon as possible and find one to three suitable samples to bring back to the mothership for further research.”
She then began to arrange the specific tasks of her team , putting several scientists into a busy state.
Since Wang Zhifan was sure that there was no danger in the area for the time being, he asked the four clone soldiers to control the electric thrusters on their spacesuits to spread out, further explore the situation of the ruins, and eliminate possible dangers around them with their bodies. trap.
This is one of the great benefits of human cloning. They are determined to be a consumable product from the beginning when they are cultivated and cultivated, and they are also consumable products with a fixed loyalty attribute. At the same time, they are similar to normal humans in all aspects. Very little difference, the best kamikaze scout.
"Captain Jessica! I found a box! It may contain precious information about alien civilization!"
After a while, the yellow-skinned young scientist found one among a bunch of unidentifiable objects. The fist-sized gray square box is undoubtedly suitable for use as a sample.
