Chapter 13

In area E3, Gera was arguing fiercely with a bald old man.

"It's too messy. Originally, the training time was very short. You're still ahead of time. This is not to let them die."

The old man replied in an indisputable voice.

"We must be mentally prepared for this job. The resource exploitation must be carried out smoothly. The previous collection and supply are very unsatisfactory. It is not easy to find a giant planet and detect glaciers. We need to supplement enough water resources, otherwise we don't know when to go to Belok next time, Now the plan has long been cancelled“

"The planet v42-52 is shrouded in an atmosphere with unknown composition. The detection signal has been attenuated to 60%, and very few can be returned. The internal situation is simply unknown. If there is a problem with such a hasty replenishment plan?"

"There will be no problem. I have applied to the combat department and the elite escort team will accompany me. They will protect the collector's safety to the greatest extent. There is no room for negotiation. All you have to do is implement it."

A uniformed female civil servant came over with a mini operation board.

"The minister has brought it here and is going to the hangar. It will be ready soon. This action plan is composed of three people, two qualified collectors and a novice. It is planned to dispatch a total of 300 teams, including 3 giant resource grabbing ships and 10 large resource grabbing ships. DT mobile armor Department will be responsible for the protection, The other party is expected to dispatch 120 mecha, including 100 new type I light mecha, 17 type II heavy mecha and 3 type III energy gathering high power mecha. "

"Very good. The escort is much stronger than before." The old man nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Qianlong came to a huge hangar in E3 area. In front of him was an 800 meter long resource grabbing ship. In addition to being equipped with a small amount of weapons, the whole ship was refitted to remove unnecessary equipment to the greatest extent and free up the largest space. All the shells were reinforced with metal armor plates, and 120 fixed mechanical arms were installed at the bottom for operation, In terms of power, four advanced T-type fusion fission engines are used, with a maximum bearing weight of 40W tons.

The maintenance staff of the ground service are busy making the final commissioning at this time. They want to ensure the best performance of the plunder ship, because this time the goal is the giant glacier belt, where a large number of glaciers drift. Their first goal is a glacier of about 6100 square meters, higher than 180 meters. The weight of the ice is 0.9 tons per cubic meter, and the weight of the glacier has exceeded 100W tons, Coupled with the weight of the spacecraft itself, basically three giant predatory ships will operate at full capacity, which is not a good thing. The load rate in theory is still different from that in practice.

As for other large predatory ships, they are responsible for other resource recovery.

"Boy, don't be in a daze." A voice from behind called Qianlong's attention back.

Qianlong turned around and saw two people coming. One was a tall woman with blond hair and gray short T-shirt, wheat skin, and a cigarette in her mouth.

The other was a middle-aged man with messy hair. He was full of wine and snorted from time to time.

"This is the trouble assigned to us."

"Shut up, Jones." The blonde said rudely.

Jones didn't care and waved. "It's like this. Even under such a severe job, he has to bring new people. I don't know if those supervisors were kicked by donkeys."

The blonde looked at Qianlong and said, "although you are not very welcome, there is no way. Since you are in a group, I don't want you to hang up so easily. Follow us well and don't act arbitrarily, so as to better survive."

"Thank you." Qianlong is not angry with their attitude. In some ways, it is really trouble in their eyes.

"My name is ina. Let's go. It's time for us to board." Ina said simply.

Qianlong followed ina and Jones to a large predatory ship. According to ina, they didn't pump water resources collection task. They were assigned to explore an area on the other side. It is said that the imaging feedback of that area is strange. The reason for interference is eliminated. The people above think there is a little probability that there are rare minerals.

Their task is to survey and confirm that if there are resources, mining will be carried out according to the types. The reason why this task is so urgent is actually related to Belok star. In case of serious material shortage, it is expected that the supply of Belok star will fail.

The captain thought that the probability of bumping into an alien here was not small, so he sent more people to replenish quickly.

Qianlong three people came to the bottom of a predator ship code named fat fish and were preparing to board.

In the distance came a young looking man with a smile on his face.

"So coincidentally, ina, we have to cooperate again."

Ina didn't catch a cold at all. She replied impatiently, "quark doesn't go to the cab to prepare for takeoff. What are you doing here?"

"Come on, they are all friends. Are you interested in having a drink when the task is over?"

"Not interested."

Jones said angrily, "come on, quark, you're still dead. Go find another girl. Be careful that your eggs are crushed."

Quark's face was stiff with a smile. "This is not a greeting. Where do you want to go? Eh, this is a newcomer? Your team has been replenished? "

Jones said listlessly, "new people can't be new people. It's estimated that they were thrown over before they even finished the training."

Quark shook his head. "I really don't know how to describe it. Good luck. I'll go first."

"Hello!"

Qianlong felt as if someone was calling them. He couldn't help looking up. He saw a woman with a yellow hat and a repairman's dress. She grabbed the steel wire on the hanging platform in one hand and waved with a wrench in the other hand.

"Ina."

The next second, the woman slid down the steel wire directly.

"Camille, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

"You're on a mission?" Camille asked with concern.

"What's so strange?" Ina replied.

"It's said that this mission is very dangerous. You should be careful." Camille charged.

Ina didn't care and replied, "don't worry, I know, we're going to board."

After that, ina took the lead to board the ship, and the miner's armour had all moved to the cargo hold at the tail of the predator ship before.

Inside the spacious cargo hold of the spacecraft, neat miners are lined up in two rows, stuck on the fixed seat on the ground. There are 12 in one row and 24 in two rows.
