Chapter 310: Single Soldier Deep Space Invasion
“Boss, we have captured the situation near the ruins.”
While Amber was wearing power armor, the communication from Tom was picked up , at the same time, the picture synthesized by the comprehensive sensor is also synchronized on the display panel of the power armor helmet.
Except for the warships patrolling and guarding the surrounding area, the few remaining large ships of the Quest for Truth Foundation will all be concentrated 'below' this rectangular parallelepiped.
One of the large ships, which looks like a space research ship, is connected to an open passage in the Forerunner ruins in some way.
It is obvious that this foundation, which has a lot of dealings with Forerunner relics, is not burning the money of its sponsors every day to make ends meet. At present, it has mastered some methods to open the facilities left by the Forerunners.
"It seems that the foundation's alert level is not very high. I originally thought it would take more effort to sneak to this distance." Tom's voice continued to ring in the communication channel,
"Speaking of which, Boss, do you really plan to break in as planned?"
"Hmm, this way, the probability of being discovered is the smallest, and your traces will not be exposed."< br>
While replying, Amber activated the electromagnetic muscle bundle of the power armor and began to perform self-tests of various subsystems.
Suddenly, the originally bulky powered armor became much more flexible. The electromagnetic muscle bundles buried under the outer armor quickly took on most of the load after activation.
Except for limitations in some movements due to body shape and structure, other aspects of athletic ability will not be affected, and have even been enhanced.
"Okay Boss, we expect to enter the 'drop zone' in 30 minutes, and the last distance after that will be up to you."
Amber's decision was naturally Tom's. He wouldn't object, but at this time he had to lament that his boss's imagination and courage were a bit big.
The infiltration of the last distance is very simple. The 'Polarized Light' will pass by the Forerunner ruins at a safe distance. When it reaches a calculated optimal release point, Amber will wear power armor from Jump out of the boat.
Then, after activating the psychic invisibility coating, he floated to the entrance of the ruins by inertia.
The physical body flies nearly 20,000 kilometers in space, and it also has to accurately complete the second half of deceleration and land at the predetermined landing point.
Although the protection and protection of the power armor The ability to sustain life is relatively strong, but only a psyker like Amber who has undergone body modification can perform this kind of operation.
Of course, when she thought about a certain man called ‘Master Chief’ in another world who often did this, Amber suddenly felt that it was not so outrageous.
Soon, Amber, who completed the self-test of various subsystems and confirmed that the power armor was operating normally, stood on the lifting platform of the Gnaku.
The Gnaku was also evacuated like the HCP attack. Under the worried eyes of Isabel, the maintenance team and others, Amber was lifted outside the cabin by the lift platform and fixed in place under the action of the magnetic device on her feet. on the outer deck of the ship.
The painting style at this time is very embarrassing, because the 'polarized light' under his feet still maintains the state of optical invisibility, and only the position where he steps has some BUG-like images. disorder'.
However, Amber quickly activated the 'stealth action mode' of the power armor through psychic energy, and the power armor, which was originally very abrupt to activate, quickly disappeared into space.
When the 'Polarized Light' sailed into the release area, a countdown also appeared on the helmet display panel in front of Amber's eyes. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Although I have played this game many times before, it is still somewhat stressful to perform such a bold operation in this world.
However, when the timer expired, he decisively released the magnetic lock on his feet and left the hull with a slight push. The trajectories of one person and one boat spread out quickly like two intersecting straight lines.
The HUD of the power armor helmet quickly displayed a virtual track line for guidance, the end of which was the open platform that was opened in the Forerunner ruins.
At this time, there was no sound in Amber's ears except the 'buzzing' low-frequency noise when the power armor was running.
In order to prevent the other party from discovering any abnormalities, both he and the 'Polarized Light Signal' entered a state of radio silence, so the contact was temporarily disconnected.
If pilots will feel a sense of loneliness in deep space after driving HCP into the universe, then when Amber is floating alone in power armor, she is completely surrounded by loneliness.
The 'sense of giant' brought by the huge yellow giant star in the distance and the Forerunner ruins at the end of the track line are doubled against the surrounding silent and empty environment, and even continue to add to the loneliness. Feeling amplified.
Not all players can accept this experience in the game, and there are even fewer people who can bear this 'sense of disconnection in deep space' in reality.
That is to say, the psyker has greatly improved his spatial perception. Otherwise, he would lose his sense of space if he kept floating like this for a long time.
But Amber also has her own way of dealing with this, which is to listen to Lilith ‘telling jokes’ in her head.
In the process of 'surfing the Internet', this strong artificial intelligence has collected a large number of Internet jokes, including daily life, international current affairs, and celebrities' unofficial history and gossip
If it were placed in the previous life, just by relying on it With this ability to come up with different jokes at the drop of a hat, Lilith will become a rising star in the world of taxi drivers.
With her company, Amber drifted lonely for nearly an hour, and then entered the deceleration phase.
According to the plan, while he was slowing down, the 'Polarized Light' should also find a place to lurk completely, ready to provide support to Amber or pick him up to 'escape' at any time.
On Amber's side, his method of deceleration is also very simple, which is to continuously send out tiny 'psionic shocks', using the principle that 'forces act on each other' to combine himself and The relative speed between Forerunner ruins continues to decrease.
In fact, the original plan was for Amber to wear a small deceleration device powered by compressed gas. However, considering that this thing cannot be invisible and there is a risk of exposure, this plan was finally abandoned.
I don’t know whether Amber’s ‘psionic invisibility’ ability is too useful, or whether the fleet of the Quest for Truth Foundation is not doing a good job in air surveillance and warning.
In short, after a period of slowing down, Amber almost 'floated' under the nose of these ships anchored near the Forerunner ruins.
In other words, the people on these Foundation battleships would not have thought that other people would come to this remote galaxy far away from the boundaries of human civilization.
Finally, at an acceptable relative speed, it landed on the surface of the Forerunner ruins and immediately used psychic energy to secure itself firmly to prevent it from being thrown out again by the reaction force.
"Master, all systems of the power armor are working normally. A quick self-check found no damaged parts. The second phase of the infiltration plan was successful!"
"Very good, let's take a look at the people of this foundation. , what do you want to do all the way here~"
