At this time, on the synchronous orbit of the planet JNO.3, the huge space colonial spacecraft of Hope is still staying directly above the ground base and flying synchronously with the rotation of the planet.
After only less than two hours of sleep, Leona, the young captain of the Hope, had to prepare to return to her job at the bridge again.
Due to lack of sleep, a little mentally exhausted, and troubled by what happened on the ground, Leona ignored the other crew members she met, and only frowned and lowered her head slightly to stare at the deck floor in front, and hurriedly walked quickly in the passage.
Because, the base command center that has just landed on the planetary ground and has been unfolded for a short time has a new situation, and she must deal with it herself!
Especially during this critical period, if any accidents occur and troubles are taken, the more than 100,000 earthlings on their colonial spacecraft will face a dangerous situation that will never be restored!
"Ah! Captain Leona? You are here."
After hearing the sound of the automatic hatch door of the bridge command center behind him, and seeing Captain Leona walking in with a cold look on his face, the second deputy who was acting as a captain quickly stood up and saluted the other party, and quickly moved away from the captain's position where he was originally sitting.
Now that the captain of Hope has returned to the bridge again, the authority he represented has been automatically transferred to the captain. Now, he has returned to the position of the second lieutenant and stood on the position of the second lieutenant.
"What's going on on the ground...what's going on now?"
This is the issue that Leona is most concerned about. The bases on the ground, especially energy collection, are directly related to the life and death of their Hope space colonial ship.
If things are urgent, Leona even wonders: Should she invest a large amount of SCV engineering vehicles, and then try her best to collect enough energy and materials, and then leave early and completely leave this dangerous star field?
"Report to the captain, after the No. 1 ghost agent Anne killed the unknown alien creature, so far, no other abnormal conditions have been discovered, and everything is very calm! The alien creature should have accidentally flowed to the ordinary creature on the planet by the sea?"
He was just staring at this matter, so the second deputy gave an answer without thinking about it.
The Ghost Agent No. 01 is the number of Little Annie, and it is also the only Ghost Agent on the Hope Number, currently, with the number NO.1!
So far, it seems that no other immigrants with phantom potential have been found on this Hope spacecraft. In addition, they do not seem to have confidential procedures and phantom schools on Earth for training ghost agents. Therefore, it is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, their Hope will only have the only foreign aid ghost, Little Anne.
"No! Isaac, you were wrong. I have a premonition. This matter is definitely not as simple as you imagined!"
After Captain Leona walked to the captain's position, she shook her head a little tiredly, directly denied the conservative idea of ​​the second deputy Isaac who had entered middle age and had a scheming and cautious work.
Then, she sat back to her captain's position, rubbed her temples that were swollen due to lack of sleep, and then she breathed a little.
After thinking about it, she stopped what she wanted to say next, and simply started to call out the holographic panel and carefully browsed what had happened during the discovery and killing of alien creatures.
"Wait! Isaac, has the ground base built a barracks at present?"
How could this...be so fast?
When he saw one of the information on the information board, Leona was a little stunned. If it was carried out according to the original plan, now it should be at least an hour before the initial assembly will be completed, right?
"That's right, after Captain Doug discovered that there were alien creatures on the planet JNO.3, he transferred all the SCV engineering vehicles that originally collected energy back, and then joined the construction work of the barracks together."
"Because, she believes that when the troops are insufficient, there is no way to protect the engineers who are conducting collection operations far away from the base, so they are allowed to participate in the construction of the barracks within the base."
Regarding this matter, Isaac Second Deputy felt that Doug did a pretty good job, and it was a cautious approach, which was a wise choice at the moment.
“…”
After looking through the information on the log for a while, Leona held her arms and was silent for a while. She was thinking and said nothing.
"How is the dawn, the start preparations of the recruits and engineers now?"
It’s a pity that the Hope, even Garen and Dryus’ two Marines with no practical experience, have become veterans? And those civilians who have only recruited and trained for a few days, soon won the title of their original recruits?
This is the task that Leona had already assigned before when she was in the captain's lounge.
Now, I guess those people should have been almost ready, right? They are now a group of troops and are no longer civilians. For such a long time, they must be able to dress up.
She has now made up her mind to send more people and more troops! The collection and construction of the entire ground base must be accelerated!
Later, after finishing the current matter, she will train and recruit more new recruits and more engineers from more than 100,000 immigrants. She will be in a powerful way to develop the military power of the Hope!
Then, the command center of the remaining base of Hope will be dispatched to planets in the nearby star field or directly collected various metal minerals in the asteroid belt. After collecting more metals and other materials and smelting, it will be transported directly to the ground base of planet JNO.3, so that Doug and others only need to concentrate on collecting crystal and gas energy.
She believed that the two command centers were deployed at the same time and their respective division of labor would definitely reduce a lot of pressure from Doug and the others?
"The Captain, the Viper Squad and the 200 best-achieved recruits are currently on two armored transport spacecraft and can set off to the ground base of the planet JNO.3 at any time."
"The second batch of SCV space engineering vehicles and corresponding engineers are ready. After the ground troops land and the two armored transport ships return, they can carry out the second airdrop operation."
After Captain Leona issued the order before, Shuguang Intelligent Brain had already completed this matter efficiently. In the efficient interstellar mode, it did not make any mistakes.
However, Shuguang Intelligent Body still felt that instead of calling them the army, the group of new recruits would be better called armed civilians wearing armored power suits and electromagnetic rifles. In this way, it might be more appropriate?
"Now, we can order them to start to set out to land on JNO.3! Then, connect me with Commander Doug who is on the ground base."
After making up his mind, Captain Leona needed to talk directly with Doug of the ground command center, directly arrange some important tasks, and once again change the previous base development plan.
"Captain, what are your instructions?"
Soon, after Leona had just watched two armored transport ships leave the inner airport on the belly of the colonial spacecraft and start to accelerate towards the planet JNO.3, Commander Doug's holographic projection appeared in front of her, and the other party even hurriedly salutes to her.
"Doug, the situation has changed now, and I have a bad feeling...so, the original development plan may require appropriate changes."
Although, Leona also knew that changing the base construction plan at will will cause great trouble.
For example: the disconnection between the work links of various units and matters may also cause serious decline in work efficiency, resulting in unnecessary waste of human resources, etc. However, now she has no better way.
"Please give instructions, Captain!"
Nodded, Doug in the ground base asked nothing.
She herself also knew that the necessary changes must be reasonable after unknown alien creatures appeared!
This is just like before, Doug issued an order without authorization to allow the SCV engineering vehicle that was conducting early collection and survey of energy to withdraw the near the base in advance.
"Doug, next, your task will be very heavy. The construction of the second and third islands will be stopped now! I need you to do your best to collect energy and materials on this island now, and to maximize the original plan content!"
After talking about his arrangements, Captain Leona continued to talk further:
"And, I also need to ship half of the energy you collect every day directly back to Hope after you start large-scale energy mining!"
This is the preventive measure taken by Leona. Once she finds that there is an uncontrollable situation, she is likely to hope that the number will directly enter the warp speed navigation, jump and evacuate the star field?
"As for orders, Captain! However, if the construction of the second and third islands is abandoned, the metals or other minerals on this island will not be able to meet our later production and construction needs."
Because, above the planet JNO.3, most of them are covered by strong acid oceans, while the remaining land is mostly islands of different sizes.
The place they are now landing is one of the islands rich in high-energy crystals and high-energy gas. However, problems have also arisen. On this island, other metal or other mineral resources are not very rich.
If they really stop the construction plan of the second and third bases according to the orders issued by Captain Leona, they will have many projects that cannot be carried out. By then, even if they collect more energy and do not have enough metals to produce modules, both various buildings and combat units will not be able to carry out large-scale production.
"Our second command center will soon bring you all the necessary materials to collect and transport them to the ground after smelting! Now, do you have any questions?"
Now that she has asked the Smart Brain Dawn to register this matter, she believes it will be implemented soon.
Because, on a large scale, collecting and smelting various metal minerals on a large scale is much more efficient than on a ground base affected by the gravity of the planet!
"No more, Captain!"
Since the captain had already arranged it, Doug didn't say anything more.
Her work is clearer in the following: she just needs to focus on accelerating the production and construction of the main base.
Then, it seems that it is possible to develop a little more defense?
"Very good! Now the first batch of 210 Marines have begun to land on the planet. Later, the second batch will also support you a large number of engineers and SCV engineering vehicles. This is the greatest support that Hope can give you. Next, you must carry out production work quickly and not make any mistakes!"
Speaking of this, Captain Leona paused and stopped.
"Doug, I believe you know that we have no supplies now..."
Now the supplies on the Hope Number can be as high as possible, and they can only produce some Marine individual equipment and SCVs. Moreover, the amount that can be produced will not be too much. She urgently needs Doug's ground base to run as soon as possible and provide a large amount of energy back to the Hope Number as soon as possible, and then she can make various other arrangements and work.
"Please rest assured, Captain, I will definitely do my best!"
Doug, who had been the first mate of Hope before, could of course understand the current predicament of Hope.
So, she decided that after more Marines and SCV construction vehicles came down, she immediately let go and carry out the next step of leap forward-looking large-scale construction!
By then, all basic facilities will be built, not only to provide feedback on the Hope number's large amount of energy and materials, but also to produce a large amount of military equipment.
Then, the Hope spacecraft above space only needs to provide necessary personnel support to their ground base. She believes that everything will be fine by then!
"Very good, now you can prepare to receive the new batch of Marines logged in. Good luck, Doug."
After saying that, Captain Leona closed the call and lay deeply on the back of the captain's seat.
After finishing all the things and explaining everything clearly, now, she needs to squint her eyes here, barely sleep, and recover a little bit of energy.
...
"Hey, Garen, and Little Anne, are you all okay now? Our large army is here to support you!"
On the combat panel of Garen, who was on duty on the ground and Little Anne who was silent, suddenly the loud voice of Dryus came.
Now the two armored transport ships they were on had begun to slowly land next to the base command center and opened the heavy hatch door. They were running out of the crowded cargo warehouse in an orderly manner.
Just now, on Hope, after hearing that there were alien creatures on this planet, Drayus could not wait to do something big. He said: His electromagnetic rifle is now thirsty!
"Dryus, you are so lucky... can you even come out of the spacecraft easily? You don't know: before, when we landed, that damn old bastard Planck, that desperate old alcoholic, threw us down from mid-air!"
When Galen was so angry that he was thrown away by Planck's old drunkard from a height of thirty or fifty meters!
Now, standing in Garen's position, he could easily see the two armored transport ships in the distance next to the base command center. Now they landed on the ground. After they opened the hatch door behind the belly of the aircraft, a large number of fully armed Marines walked out of it.
"You are the old bastard! I'll tell you now, Garen, I swear: next time, if you little boy ride my spaceship again, your jumping height will definitely not be less than one hundred meters!"
Now it is shared in the public contact channel near the base, so Captain Planck soon heard Captain Garen of the Cobra Squad slander him.
Then, he started yelling in the public channel.
The reason why Planck landed on the ground this time was just because of the group of new recruits who had only been training for a few days, and they couldn't bear to let their heads land first when they fell down, causing unnecessary reductions in staff!
Cobra squads like Galen and others, and veteran marines who have experienced training on landing at high altitudes, will definitely not be as simple as thirty or fifty meters next time.
"Old wine cabinet, next time, I will never be your transport ship! In the near future, I believe that the new spaceship at our base will be built. By then, your broken ship will no longer be the only option!"
Galen also cursed and sneered.
If there was no choice, if Hope had only two armored transport ships, how could Garen choose to take this old drunkard crazy spacecraft?
Whether it was the way he captured Little Annie's life capsule before or when he landed on this planet, the other party's style was quite shocked!
When he remembered the situation where the lifesaving capsule almost hit the spaceship and dived and landed on the planet, he now had a cramp in his calves! I'm afraid that only the madman who was desperate to drive the spaceship like the other party could do it?
"Haha! Very good! Here, I welcome you to take the new people's boats with hundreds of hours of simulated flight experience and 0 hours of actual flight experience next time! Next time, don't come to me, uh..."
After saying that, Planck burped again. It seemed that he had just drunk a lot.
Planck has always been very confident about his flight skills!
You know, he is a famous old driver! He has never missed the drunk spaceship for decades, whether in the dangerous gravel asteroid belt or on the way to the anti-smuggling squad!
How could an ordinary person have a superb driving skill like him who fights his life even if the other party has a long training time?
For example, if Planck's small spacecraft driving skills are at S level before drinking, then when he drinks high, his driving skills can at least be improved to SS+! Mortals like Garen, they will never understand this master-level superlative level!
“…”
Hearing this, Galen was shocked. It seemed that he felt that what the other party said seemed to make some sense?
Compared to this old madman who has been driving a spaceship for decades, it seems... it is even more dangerous to ride a newcomer with a 0-study experience in the actual spaceship operation?
"By the way, Garen, why didn't I hear little Annie's response?"
Just as he was gloating in the panel, looking at Garen and Captain Planck who were blushing for a while, Dryus thought of and asked about Little Anne.
Logically speaking, he had just said hello. She wouldn't say hello without saying hello, right?
"Well...she seems to be lying on her commanding heights now?"
Galen also looked at the location of Little Anne in Radar with some uncertainty. The orange sign that belonged to her is still parked in the established position.
After thinking about it, Galen turned around and walked past a pile of strange rocks and looked towards the position on the high ground.
That's right, little Anne was still lying in that position, she did not turn on the invisibility mode, so Galen could see it clearly with her naked eyes.
"Hey? Little Annie? What are you doing now? We're going to change shifts!"
Since the reinforcements have arrived, there are still 210 people, so Galen decided to notify Anne.
At this time, it is almost time to change shifts, and they can go back to the large barracks that have been built and have a good rest.
"Hey! Hey? Annie, are you listening?"
Garen, who had not received any reply, couldn't help but call again and clicked on the button linking the video on the virtual interface.
Didn’t Little Annie keep making a fuss to rest? She also said she wanted to sleep, she said she wanted to take a shower when she had something to do, and even said she wanted to swear, which made them, the Marines tighten their bladders.
But now, I finally got the support and could change shifts and rest, but why didn't she make any noise?
“…”
When he opened the video communication panel, Galen couldn't help but breathe!
That little brat, she was actually asleep with her eyes closed, and she also made slight snoring from time to time, and even her saliva was about to flow out?
No wonder Dryus called her just now but received no response. It turned out that this little brat was actually sleeping? Garen always thought how hard she was lying there, but she was still lying there motionless. She wanted to praise her a few words.
“Huh?”
Just as Garen was about to say something else, little Annie suddenly opened her eyes and became energetic.
"Hey, little Annie, are you awake? Come down quickly, we are going to change defenses. You can go back to the barracks and go to bed!"
Thinking that he had woken up the other party, Garen breathed a sigh of relief, carried his rifle, and while walking back, he said to the red and white figure still lying on the commanding heights in the distance.
"Wow! So many enemies! There are about a few hundred? That's great, there's something to play now!"
Anne ignored Garen's call. Now, she received a reminder from her bear Tibers: In front of her, there was still a large wave of monsters attacking, and the number was about a thousand, which was still the kind she killed before?
Then, while loading her weapon quickly, Annie also turned on the stealth mode of her armor as soon as possible and disappeared directly from Garen's sight.
However, in the radar display of friendly forces, she could still be seen lying honestly on the spot without moving.
"Little Annie, what are you doing? Please don't mess around!"
Seeing the other party suddenly disappear and saying that there was an enemy, Garen frowned a little unhappy.
She was still sleeping just now, right? Moreover, she woke her up, how could she find an enemy?
Lie about military information is a very serious crime! Now, they are performing military affairs, and they can joke around casually like they are on the Hope.
Galen didn't believe it. How could a little kid who just woke up see an enemy when he opened his eyes?
"I'm not joking!"
Bang!!!
Just after Anne's voice was heard, after the gunshot, a large-caliber electromagnetic sniper rifle bullet flew over Garen's head.
Then, Galen, who was walking back leisurely, was shocked to find that behind him, there seemed to be some strange sound?
"Enemy attack! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
When Garen discovered that little Anne was shooting above his head, he originally wanted to scold the other party harshly and forbid the little kid from making such dangerous jokes again.
You know, it is a bullet for a 20mm caliber electromagnetic rifle. It is no exaggeration to say it is an electromagnetic cannon! If she accidentally misfires and wipe it on her own, then Garen will declare his good luck!
However, when he turned around and saw another hideous and huge monster like a calf on the beach hundreds of meters away from him. Its headless corpse was spraying with red and green blood and falling on the beach, Galen immediately retreated for a long distance.
After finding a simple cover, he put his electromagnetic rifle on his shoulder, began to aim, and shouted loudly on all public channels.
Because, he found that on the beach ahead, he saw dense monsters, which were climbing up from the sea quietly.
"Enemy attack! Dryus! Take your group of marines to support you. There are many monsters on the beach, hurry up! This is not an exercise!"
Garen said in a hurry as he opened fire.
"Repeat! There are a lot of enemies! We need support now!"
Dada dada...
While taking time to speak, Garen continued to open the fire violently.
The 8mm nail bullet in the electromagnetic rifle in his hand was like a free money, spraying at the monsters at an extremely high rate of fire.
As the bullets shot over like fire chains, soon, clusters of green and red blood burst out on the bodies of the large group of huge insect-shaped monsters.
Dada dada...
At the same time, the other members of the Cobra Squad who were still on guard also began to shoot fiercely in the direction of the sea based on their respective favorable terrain.
"Dryus! Come and support quickly, we can't stand it anymore! There are so many of them!"
Galen was shocked to find that the firepower nets of several Marines in this direction seemed not enough to resist the huge four-legged bugs that were constantly climbing up from the sea?
Moreover, they are a little too resistant to shooting? He found that sometimes, unless the bullets they fired at the head and then the key points, it would take several guns to kill the other party or cause the other party to lose their ability to move.
Just now, after Little Annie killed the first monster that sneaked up on the shore, more than two hours passed, and these monsters actually started to attack on a large scale again?
Could it be that the one at the beginning was just here to explore the way?
"Stand it! Let's come now!"
After replying to Garen on the channel, Dryus quickly turned around and ran off the transport ship. He heard a battle and was in a confused state of roaring:
"Everyone has it! Hurry up, run and follow me here! Why are you still stunned over there? Come here quickly!"
After greeting, Captain Dryus, who had been running several steps, realized that after he greeted him, except for the nine members of his Viper Squad who responded to the order immediately, the other two hundred Marines, except for some of whom hesitated and followed him, were still looking at me, and I was stunned when I saw you?
"All Marines are warned: go to the beach defense line immediately to support the battle! No mistakes are allowed!"
At this time, the base command center, which discovered the situation, issued a red combat command in the mission information panel of all Marines who had just landed on the planet after Commander Doug's order.
"Ah? Yes!"
“That direction is the beach?”
"Okay, OK! We'll be here soon!"
Finally, under the urging and leadership of Dryus, after Commander Doug issued a red combat order on everyone's panel, the Marines finally followed the Viper Squad running in the front, like a sheep, and rushed toward the beach in a sparse and messy formation.
"Wow! Why are you hitting me? Want to cause trouble?"
"Ahhhh! You suddenly stood in front of you and didn't move! Are you still blaming me?"
Suddenly, the two Marines running collided for no reason, and then they rolled into a ball to each other. They fell to the ground and were still unable to stand up for a long time?
"It was you who bumped into it first! I just wanted to stop and study how to open the safety device of the electromagnetic rifle!"
“…”
Hearing this on the public channel, Commander Doug in the base command center could only stare at the two Marines who were at the end of the team and complaining to each other about to get up.
Now, Doug is very suspicious: they can't even walk well, and they can bump into each other when they run, and even they don't even know where the weapon safety device is and how to open it? Can they really gain a foothold on this seemingly dangerous planet with unknown numbers of terrifying alien creatures?
For the first time, Commander Doug had a little bit of doubt about his future at this ground base...
Chapter completed!
