Chapter 785

Pluto.

This planet, once expelled by earth civilization, gives people the first impression of darkness, like an eye that is always closed.

At this distance, the light of the sun is already very weak. Even the "Prometheus" energy network gave up its coverage because it is too remote, resulting in the almost original desolation here.

For a long time, it used to exist only as a dangerous weapons testing ground for cloud research institutes.

Until the earth people with strong desire for exploration and knowledge gradually developed the whole solar system, no unmanned scientific research ship or tourist ship occasionally came to see the once "ninth planet".

In order to facilitate the docking of supplies, a small civil military airport has been built on the orbit of Pluto.

Of course, most of the time, this mysterious asteroid known as the "new Bermuda Triangle" is not open to the outside world.

After all, the huge electromagnetic pulse and high-power field from time to time affect navigation safety

Pluto: "..." (╥﹏╥)

At the moment, a dusty small cargo ship with a q-version blue ghost on its body is slowly approaching the airport.

The small cargo ship has a length of 200 meters and is flat as a whole without obvious bridge. The model is the "light feather" small unmanned cargo ship just launched by Atlantis shipyard last year, but there are obvious modification marks everywhere on the ship, which is quite different from the original.

"The ship cn86776778 is under the 'ghost brigade', and the ship code is' Scud '. It accepts the supply task of b468, comes to transport rare metals and energy materials, and requests the permission to stop at the airport!"

"Di! Identity confirmation, task confirmation, docking allowed!"

As the spaceship slowly approached the dock, the spaceship controllers couldn't help cheering.

"Finally!"

"Fortunately, there is automatic driving, you can hang up halfway for a long time, otherwise I don't know how to get through."

"You've worked hard. When you submit this mission, our mission points will be enough to upgrade the 'ghost brigade' to class C adventure group!

Back off the line, let's go to the new moon bar for a drink. It's my treat! "

"Yes, yes!"

"Ha ha!"

There is no so-called "bridge" in the traditional sense in this unmanned spacecraft. All the control centers are integrated on a small chip, which can save a lot of space.

However, the control signal of the spacecraft comes from a "bridge" completely in the virtual world.

The controller can enter the "bridge" in the virtual world hundreds of millions of miles away, so as to control the whole spacecraft, which is quite convenient.

All "virtual bridges" are basically the same. It has no console in the traditional sense, only a huge display screen and the corresponding crew control position, which are completely controlled by consciousness.

At the moment, there are only four controllers in the ship's "virtual bridge", which are Chris, Alice and fat and thin!

The ghost brigade started by doing freight transportation. Because it seized the first wave of development opportunities, it is now a little famous in the mercenary industry and ranks among the best in the private mercenary group.

Not long ago, they also used the Commission earned during this period to replace the new cargo ship. After some modification by the fat and thin duo, the speed of the spacecraft has been greatly improved, which can be called the Scud of the cargo ship.

The leading equipment gives the ghost brigade more opportunities, and transporting supplies for the Pluto test base is one of them.

This long-distance, time-consuming and small cargo task is suitable for the type of "Scud" spacecraft.

Moreover, they also took on several tasks of geological exploration and sample collection, and they also gained a lot.

"As the old rule, fat Lord and ribs are responsible for handing over the goods, and I am responsible for purchasing materials. When this task is handed over, we will start to make full preparations for war and prepare for resisting alien invasion."

"Hey, hey, hey! I can't wait, Chris. This time you have to get me a top-grade machine armor." the fat man laughed.

"Don't worry, every man is responsible for the survival of civilization! All the funds of the brigade will tilt towards weapons and equipment. By the way, Alice, do you have any new information over there?" Chris said and looked at Alice.

At this time, Alice has grown up and gradually faded away from her astringency. She looks smart and capable. The only constant is that her blue eyes are still clear and bright.

"Well, now the news that aliens are about to invade the solar system has been confirmed, and everyone, including civil society organizations, is actively preparing for war.

According to the United Nations "emergency war Act No. 1004 document", all countries and regions of earth civilization have entered the state of "war control", all resources have begun to tilt towards war, and the earth defense force is responsible for resource allocation and overall command.

I just landed on the official website of the Earth Defense Force and checked it. It has just released a new national task. The reward is very high, but it basically depends on luck to complete it. "

"Oh? What task?"

Alice is about to share the task of "searching for enemy tracks" with the group.

"Ho! 200000 unlimited coins? This reward is attractive enough, but this task really depends on character.

The detection radius of 30000 kilometers seems very wide, but the relative search range is completely insignificant. "

"Even so, almost all the teams that can meet the requirements are mobilized. After all, they are the first to find the enemy's invasion direction, which is of great significance to our war preparation.

Even if it may be a waste of time and money, a large number of hot-blooded mercenaries accept the task.

It's just that I heard that the production capacity of the "wormhole detector" is limited. Even if the production is expedited, the supply is in short supply. Those who receive the task are still waiting in line. "

"Don't you think it's an opportunity?" said Alice.

"Our current location is just outside the solar system. It can be described as a tower near the water, and next to the military port, it is very convenient to get the 'wormhole detector'. It is very inaccessible here, so there will not be people competing for equipment with us?"

"Well, it makes sense. Even if there is little hope of finding that hidden wormhole, at least we have contributed to earth civilization."

"Hey, hey! There's little hope. That's not true." the fat man pushed his glasses.

"What do you say?" everyone looked at the fat man.

"I have a university classmate. His recent postdoctoral project is to follow his mentor to study the relationship between wormhole formation and cosmic tides.

The area where wormholes are formed is generally the fierce intersection of cosmic tides, which can be understood as the unstable point of space.

As long as we find such an area, we can also follow the vine and find wormholes!

So as long as we can collect relevant astronomical data along the way and send it back to each other's team for research and analysis, we may improve the probability of success in finding wormholes. "

"Unfinished academic research? Is it reliable?"

"Is it better than looking for it?"

"It's worth trying..." Chris thought and made a decision quickly.

"Spare ribs, hurry to unload and give up all unnecessary loads. Then I will make extreme supplies to the spacecraft and replace the reconnaissance module.

Alice, take the task immediately and apply to the airport for a wormhole detector!

Fat master, contact your classmates immediately. We can provide their scientific research team with astronomical data along the way for free. If we can really complete the task, there will be a 10% commission share. "

"OK!" "got it!" "give it to me!"
