Chapter 1114 Bound by Gravity
When you open your eyes, there is an unknown ceiling.
Alyssa rubbed her temples, and then she remembered that she was not on the Swan, or even in the most familiar void.
The change in environment brought about a certain lack of sleep, and Alyssa didn't want to stay in bed anymore, so she got up and ran to wash up.
For 'void residents' like Alyssa, life on the planet is very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Compared with the stability of artificial gravity, the gravity on the planet is more or less different. Local people will definitely not be able to understand these subtle differences, but recyclers who travel between various space stations all year round are very sensitive to this.
My fingers felt a little stiff for no reason, my head felt heavier, and it felt like there were hands pulling down all the flesh on my body.
I have to say what's the benefit...
I glanced at the water flowing down in the washbasin, which meant that it was much more convenient to brush my teeth and wash my face than in a gravity-free environment.
But Alyssa really didn't like the feeling of being bound by gravity.
When you walk out of the room, you will occasionally see patrolling soldiers passing by. Everyone will stand at attention and salute Alyssa, which also makes Alyssa uncomfortable.
This was different from when Alyssa's crew saluted her on the starship. Alyssa knew that these soldiers were not respecting her, but her grandfather.
——Feeling even more uncomfortable.
The base is quite large. The dormitories alone can accommodate a thousand people. In order to ensure long-term garrison, a large amount of food and ammunition are stored.
But now there are only a dozen soldiers here, plus more than fifty ordinary civilians, and there is a fresh water production machine. If you just live here, you can live here for several years.
Of course, Alyssa would not stay so long.
At this time, the personal terminal beeped. Alyssa looked down and found that it was a message from Sophia.
'Boss, we found the booster rocket in the equipment warehouse. Fang Lanyin said that he would come and take a look after finishing the work at hand.'
This is unexpectedly good news.
Although the Swan has been modified to land directly on a habitable planet, if it wants to take off and return to the void, it cannot be achieved by relying solely on the Swan's own power.
The same goes for those assault landing ships. It's easy to get down, but you have to use external force, such as booster rockets, to get back.
The reason why it is said to be unexpectedly good news is because this base is originally a military base for testing assault landing ships. It is very reasonable to retain the booster rocket that can send the void on the assault landing ship.
If it is not available here, it will be more troublesome. It is estimated that you will need to drive the Swan to nearby launch bases, airports, military facilities and other places to look for it, but you may not be able to find it.
And it will take time to install, refuel, debug, etc., all of which will take time. During this process, the Red Maple Republic, which already has the right to control the track, will definitely not just watch.
Speaking of which, this livable planet is still resisting, but what the situation is outside is completely unknown now. When the Swan will set off, we have to choose an appropriate time, otherwise we will die.
After replying a few words to Sophia, Alyssa continued walking.
She had nothing urgent to do when she got up early, she just had nothing to do.
After walking randomly following the street signs in the base, Alyssa seemed to have arrived at the back of the base.
You can see a beach here, and looking further away, you can see a flat hole with traces of artificial repairs. The sea water enters the base from there.
This should be a natural cave that will be blocked by high tide and only exposed by low tide.
The beach is not for fun. Alyssa observed that this place could have been used to moor some small and medium-sized maritime ships and was also part of a military facility.
But now those boats are gone, leaving only a jet ski and...
Beach chairs, umbrellas and towels and blankets all over the floor.
You can use parasols even if there is no sunshine. This atmosphere is what you want. It can be seen that this place has been used by local soldiers as a place for leisure and entertainment for a long time.
In addition, you can also see several lifeboats being pulled ashore, which are the source of civilians in the base.
The attack by the Red Maple Republic was sudden and without warning, and there was no time to even issue an evacuation alert.
From the perspective of being able to save a life, these civilians are lucky, but hiding in a military base is obviously not a good choice.
At this time, Alyssa's communicator beeped again. She lowered her head and saw that it was a communication from Long.
"Are you awake?" "I just woke up, I was on the beach."
"Understood, I'll go find you right now."
Not long after hanging up the communication, Long came over, but Lieutenant Duy was also followed beside him.
"Good morning, Captain Alyssa, how was your rest last night?"
"fine thanks."
Alyssa glanced at Long, who said:
"I asked Lieutenant Duy this morning if there was any communication equipment that could contact the outside. The result was good, but there is a small problem."
"What's the problem?"
"permission denied."
This base was supposed to have an officer command structure consisting of a colonel and many lieutenants, but unfortunately, the group neglected their duties and ran out to play the day before the attack. Now the highest-ranking officer in the base is Lieutenant Duy.
On the battlefield, if an officer dies, soldiers will listen to the one with the highest rank. This is true, but the machine does not recognize military ranks.
Alyssa understood what Long meant as soon as she heard it, turned to Dui and said:
"Maybe I can hack it, what model of device is it?"
"Both active and passive equipment are available. Our base's equipment is still very complete."
Passive communication equipment can only search for other people's communications and cannot dial out. The advantage is that it is extremely concealable and difficult to reverse trace. Passive communication equipment is standard for secret bases.
Active equipment is the most widely used, and the ones used on battleships are also active and can send and receive signals freely.
Indeed, although this base has many flaws, the equipment is all up to date.
Duy took Alyssa and Long to the communications room, where a variety of equipment filled the entire room.
The Red Maple Republic's fleet is probably still in synchronous orbit. If it sends a signal at this time, it will be courting death.
However, you can use passive receiving equipment to adjust and monitor the movement in orbit to see if the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation has counterattacked.
As for the issue of lack of permissions, this is really just a small problem.
Alyssa glanced at the equipment and said to Duy: "Lieutenant Duy, please go find our mechanic Fang Lanyin. She needs some parts to repair the ship. I hope that the people in this base will Inventory can satisfy.”
"No problem, I'll go right away."
Putting Duy aside, Alyssa took out the boot disk from her bag, found the nearest terminal and put it up.
Soon, the screen of the terminal lights up and prompts 'Creation Machine. Divine Crystal Initialization Completed'.
"Li Chengqi, are you there? Let's see if we can hack into the device."
Alyssa spoke to the personal terminal twice, but there was no response.
"Li Chengqi should be at Fang Lanyin's place, or at An Yun's place. I occasionally see them sharing ice cream together."
"This machine soul is really free..."
Alyssa shook her head, clicked on the communication function and found Fang Lanyin.
The person on the other side quickly picked up:
"Boss, are you looking for Li Chengqi? He just left."
"Just left? Where to go?"
"I don't know. He said he had some things to do and wouldn't look at us for the time being. Oh, yes, he even took a few mines and left."
"take?"
How to get a machine soul without a physical body?
Alyssa suddenly felt full of questions.
