Pluto.
The first image of a planet that has been banished by the dark, like the earth, is forever.
At this distance, the sun's light is very weak. Even the "Prometheus" energy network has given up coverage because it is too remote, resulting in almost the original barrenness here.
For a long time, it was only used as a dangerous weapon test ground for cloud Research Institute.
It was not until the earth people with strong desire for exploration and knowledge gradually developed the whole solar system that unmanned scientific research ships or tourist ships came to see the once "ninth planet".
In order to facilitate the docking of supplies, a small military and civilian airport was built in Pluto orbit.
Of course, most of the time, this mysterious asteroid known as the "new Bermuda Triangle" is not open to the public.
After all, the huge electromagnetic pulses and high-power fields that erupt from time to time greatly affect the safety of navigation
Pluto: (╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥╥.
This small cargo ship is 200 meters long. It is flat in shape and has no obvious bridge. The model is a small unmanned cargo ship of "light feather" class just launched by Atlantis shipyard last year. However, there are obvious modification marks on various parts of the ship, which are quite different from the original version.
"The spaceship cn86776778, belonging to the" ghost brigade "and code named" Scud ", accepted the b468 replenishment mission, came to transport rare metals and energy materials, and asked for permission to dock at the airport!"
"Drop! Identity confirmation, task confirmation, docking allowed! "
As the ship slowly approached the dock, the ship's controllers couldn't help but cheer.
"At last
"Fortunately, there is automatic driving, which can hang up for a long time, otherwise I don't know how to survive."
"You've worked hard. After submitting this mission, our mission points will be enough to upgrade the" ghost brigade "to a C-level adventure group!
I'll go to the crescent bar for a drink. It's my treat
"Yes, yes!"
"Ha ha!"
There is no traditional so-called "bridge" in the unmanned spacecraft. All the control centers are integrated into a small chip, which can save a lot of space.
However, the control signal of the spaceship comes from a "bridge" completely in the virtual world.
The controller can be hundreds of millions of miles away, enter the "bridge" in the virtual world, so as to control the entire spacecraft, quite convenient.
All of the "virtual bridge" are basically the same. There is no console in the traditional sense. There is only a huge display screen and the corresponding crew control position. It is completely controlled by consciousness.
At the moment, there are only four controllers in the "virtual bridge" of the ship. They are Chris, Alice and Pang Shou duo!
The ghost brigade started by doing freight transportation, because it seized a wave of development opportunities at the beginning, and now it is a little well-known in the mercenary industry, ranking first among the private mercenaries.
Not long after that, they made a lot of money in the speed of the new type of freighter.
The advance in equipment has given the ghost brigade more opportunities, one of which is to transport supplies to Pluto's experimental base.
This kind of long-range, long-time, small cargo mission, is suitable for the "Scud" type of spacecraft.
In addition, they also received several geological exploration and sample collection tasks, and they also gained a lot.
"As the old rule, fat man and spareribs are responsible for the delivery of goods, and I am responsible for purchasing materials. When this task is completed, we will start to prepare for the invasion of aliens
"Hey, hey, hey! I can't wait, Chris. This time you'll have to get me a top-notch mecha. " Fat man said with a smile.
"Don't worry, everyone is responsible for the survival of civilization! All the funds of the brigade will be tilted towards weapons and equipment. By the way, Alice, is there anything new on your side Chris said and looked at Alice.
At this time, Alice has grown-up, gradually faded, smart and capable, the only constant is that the pair of blue eyes, still clear and bright.
"Well! Now the news that aliens are about to invade the solar system has been confirmed, and all people, including civil society groups, are actively preparing for war.
According to the "emergency war Act No. 1004" of the United Nations, all countries and regions of earth civilization have entered a state of "war control", and all resources have begun to tilt towards war. The earth defense forces are responsible for resource allocation and overall command.
I have just landed on the official website of the earth defense force to check it. It has just released a new national mission with high remuneration. However, if you want to complete it, it's basically up to luck. ""Oh? What task? "
Alice will share the task of "searching the enemy's tracks" into the group.
"Oh! 200000 unlimited? It's an attractive reward, but it's a purely moral task.
With a detection radius of 30000 km, it seems that it is very wide, but the relative search range is totally small. "
"Even so, almost all the teams that can meet the requirements have gone out. After all, they are the first to find the direction of the enemy's invasion, which is of great significance for our war preparations.
Even if it may be a waste of time and money, there are a large number of warm-blooded mercenaries to accept the task.
I just heard that the production capacity of the "wormhole detector" is limited, and even if the production is urgent, the supply is still in short supply, and the people who take over the task are still in line. "
"Don't you think it's an opportunity?" Alice said.
"Our current location is just outside the solar system. It can be said that we are close to the water. Besides, the military port is next to us. It is very convenient to get the" wormhole detector ". There are few people here, so there will not be people competing with us for equipment?"
"Well! It makes sense that even if there is no hope of finding that hidden wormhole, at least we have contributed to the civilization of the earth. "
"Haha! It's not possible that there is little hope. " The fat man pushed his glasses.
"What do you say?" Everybody looks at the fat man.
"I have a college classmate whose recent post doctoral project is to study the relationship between wormhole formation and cosmic tides.
Wormholes are usually formed at the confluence of cosmic tides, which can be regarded as unstable points in space.
As long as we find such areas, we can also follow suit and find wormholes!
So as long as we can collect relevant astronomical data along the way and send them back to each other's team for research and analysis, we may be able to improve our chances of finding wormholes. "
"Unfinished academic research? Is it reliable? "
"It's better than looking for it blindly?"
"It's worth a try..." Chris wanted to make a decision soon.
"Spareribs, hurry to unload, abandon all unnecessary loads, and then I'll give the ship extreme replenishment, and replace the detection module.
Alice, take the task immediately and apply for a wormhole detector from the airport!
Fat ye, 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, we will get 10% commission
"Good!" "Got it!" "Give it to me!"
