"Kent, where are we going?" Then case asked.
As case is older than Ken, Kent was embarrassed to call him the head of the team in the last round, so at Kent's repeated request, it's better to call him by his name.
Kent asked, turning to Keith and asking, "go in the direction of Jupiter."
"OK, move in the direction of Jupiter and turn the engine power to 60 percent." Keith ordered.
"Yes, captain."
At case's command, phantom's speed suddenly increased, disappeared from the view of Rangers space station, and headed for Jupiter.
The asteroid belt lies between Jupiter and Mars. There are about 500000 asteroids similar to the rover space station. Most of the remaining asteroids are meteorites.
If there is no Jupiter, then these asteroids will be absorbed by the sun's gravity, fly towards the inner solar system, and will mercilessly impact the earth.
You know, one of the hypotheses of dinosaur extinction is the impact of an asteroid, and the diameter of the small star is only 10 kilometers, which caused the extinction of the earth's biosphere.
What if it's 30 kilometers or more? There has been no life on the earth for a long time. Jupiter is the guardian of the earth.
However, the positions of all the planets are so right that Kent has reason to suspect that the existence of Jupiter seems to have been left behind by those "great gods" civilization.
When the phantom left the asteroid belt, Kent and case asked in a deep voice, "Captain, do you know the planet lv-426?"
“LV-426?” Keith, holding his chin in one hand, thought for a good moment before saying, "I heard it when I was in the Navy. It's an earth like planet in wolf 359 galaxy, 7.8 light-years away from the earth.
However, it is not suitable for living. The main component of the atmosphere is ammonia, but that was 30 years ago.
Since the discovery of this planet by the Navy, large companies have started to invest resources there and to transform lv-426. I estimate that the population is about 200000 to 300000
"Two or three hundred thousand?" Kent could not help exclaiming at the number.
In alien 2, a platoon of Marines is destroyed by just over 100 aliens. Kent can't imagine the concept of two or three hundred thousand.
It can be said that if the main task is really to go to lv-426, then this time it can be said that it is a near death concept!
"What's the matter, Kent?" After all, in the eyes of the old captain, Kent is a bit careless, but he is calm and should not be so flustered.
"Nothing." Kent slowed down and asked, "Captain, what fleets are stationed in the wolf 359 system? What's the population of the whole galaxy? "
"The whole galaxy?" Keith said: "the whole galaxy revolves around a red dwarf star. Due to the dim light, the Navy discovered it nearly half a century ago. Besides lv-426, there is a gas planet and a planet less than 200 kilometers in diameter.
According to the Navy's senior officials, the lv-426 won the bidding and invested by ambrera company in the Americas. Only one lieutenant general from the Americas is stationed in the army, with a number of about 500 people. "
"It's ambrella again, this company has penetrated almost every aspect..." Kent said in a deep voice, and the lieutenant general may also be Sheffield.
There are 500 people guarding the planet with hundreds of thousands of people.
Mars, for example, only has 30000 army troops on Mars because of the presence of the first and second fleets in the solar system. Therefore, the grad organization took the opportunity to rise and almost fell in the zombie crisis.
However, there are many words to be said. For example, in the novel halo: the star of abundance, the star of abundance is the edge of human power, and it is the official record of the first contact and battle between human beings and the Star Alliance.
There are millions of people on the fertility star, which can be thrown to the police and other organs. Only Johnson (a black sergeant in halo) is stationed on the fertility star, leading a marine corps company, and all of them are recruits.
The number of people is less than 100, so when we meet the jackals of the Star Alliance, it is almost a rout. Fortunately, Johnson is the guy who can not be completely annihilated, but millions of residents suffer.
If lv-426 breaks out the biological epidemic of heteromorphism, it will be almost hopeless. Heteromorphism is a perfect killing weapon.
High intelligence, extremely good at hiding, hard skin, high-intensity acid blood, sharp tail, ejection accessory teeth and so on are all in one, which is called heteromorphism.The director of alien 1 once said that he intended to let the opposite sex kill the heroine and learn human language to cry for help on the earth.
But in the end, in order to continue the work, this setting was canceled. However, it can be concluded that the intelligence quotient of alien is no less than that of human, and even much higher than that of human in some aspects.

"Here... Here is... LV... 26! Need urgent help
While Kent is melancholy, the correspondent Jack's desk suddenly receives intermittent calls for help.
"Here we are!"
Kent whispered in his heart that he didn't want to come, but he did.
"Captain, Captain, we have a distress signal!" Jack turns to look at Kent and case in the middle of the bridge.
"..." Keith did not speak but looked at Kent, who also nodded his head. Then Keith ordered: "we will accept the power amplification, and listen to what they are talking about!"
"Yes Only after Jack tampered with his instrument did the distress signal become clear.
"This is lv-426. We've been attacked by an unknown creature! Request support! Request support!
Most of the colony has been occupied, and the citizens are concentrated in our marine base, but I don't know how long it will last! Ask for support
"Here it is After hearing the content, case was also stunned. After all, Kent just asked him about lv-426. Who knows, he received a distress signal.
According to the Chinese proverb, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!
Kent walked up to jack with a dignified face and asked, "what's the distress signal? Isn't it 7.8 light years? Why do we receive it first? "
"Commander, it seems that their signalmen have lost the wrong channel. This is the special frequency band of our mercenary regiment. Unexpectedly, it's so coincidental that now only we can receive their distress signal." Jack explained.
"Mad, it must be the system."
Kent swore in his heart and asked, "how long does it take to get here from the distress signal?"
"Well..." Jack thought a little and said, "according to the current speed of transmission, it should have been issued a day ago."
"A day ago..."
Kent repeated, thinking to himself that in alien 2, the residents of lv-426 persisted for several weeks before they were completely occupied.
Now with soldiers guarding and military bases, the environment of lv-426 may not be so bad
