Here, after Annie walked out of the space portal, she discovered that this place was actually in a void?
There was absolutely nothing in the place she was in, up, down, left, right, front and back!
She is actually in a vacuum universe?
Looking at the past, apart from a few huge khaki, brown, and green giant planets nearby, there are just countless stars and strange-shaped nebulae in the distance that shine with various lights?
At this moment, little Annie was staying in a very powerful magic protective shield. This was the first thing she put on herself after she realized something was wrong. In addition to being filled with magic elements to maintain pressure on her, it also isolated The harmful rays around her and the damage done to her body by the vacuum.
Even if she is already a powerful demigod, she will still feel very uncomfortable if she directly exposes herself to vacuum and harmful cosmic rays without any protection.
Therefore, little Annie is now staring at the square space gem in her hand that is spinning rapidly.
This must be something bad!
She felt that this bastard space gem had become more and more arrogant recently, and was increasingly quarreling with her!
The first few times were fine. She traveled to three earths and one planet Azeroth, but it didn't have much impact on her basic survival.
But now?
Look, now it has suddenly landed itself in this empty vacuum space?
If I hadn't been a powerful enough demigod mage, I'm afraid someone else would have been killed by it long ago, right?
Where exactly is this place?
Little Annie turned her head and looked at the space up, down, left and right, okay... Actually, she found that there is no distinction between up, down, left and right here at all?
Even within the magic protective shield, she was in a state of weightlessness. She could not feel the effect of gravity when she was standing on the earth. This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable for a moment. novel.
So, she began to slowly rotate herself within the shield, and then stared at the strange planets around her and their beautiful star rings with wide eyes.
(My little master, please stop playing and find a safe place first? If you stay here like this for a long time, big problems will definitely occur! - Finally, I saw Little Annie actually started playing carelessly by herself. Tibbers couldn't stand it any longer and quickly reminded her.)
In Tibbers' view, in this vacuum of space, not only is there no food or air, but there are also a large number of deadly rays. If its owner Annie was not powerful enough, if it were a different person, she would still be alive. ?
In this vacuum cosmic environment, Tibbers, as a shadow creature, must be fearless. But, its little master Anne, she can't do it!
Although in a short period of time, there is no big problem, but as time goes by, in addition, this magic shield will continuously consume her own magic power, and there will be no oxygen for breathing. , maintaining the body's energy supply also requires consuming her own magic power. No matter how strong her magic power is, if this continues for a long time, something big will really happen!
"Eh? That's right! Just wait and see! You want me to give in? There's no way!"
Little Annie cursed a few words and put the broken stone back into her space pocket.
Tibbers...where should we go now? Do you want to go to a random planet?
After holding her little bear, Annie looked around at the huge planets. Soon, she picked one of them. That planet looked quite beautiful, although it seemed a bit far away. It's far away, but if she casts a spell to teleport a few times over long distances, she can probably get there, right?
(None of those planets are suitable for life, and it’s useless to go there! Let’s go over there first and see the floating battleship wreckage! - Seeing that little Annie planned to go to those planets, Tibur Si quickly spoke out to stop him.
In its view, none of those planets are life planets at all. What's the use of looking beautiful? What's the difference between going to those places and staying in a vacuum? Then it would be better to go take a look at the wreckage of the battleship directly over there. Maybe we can find some clues or know where to survive nearby? )
Huh? Battleship? !
After Tibbers' reminder, little Annie finally took her eyes away from those beautiful planets, and then she discovered that on the other side, in the dim space of the universe, the one with a ferocious gap was quietly The wreckage of a battleship floating quietly and moving slowly along a certain track.
"It's really a star battleship... Tibbers, let's go there now, otherwise, it will drift away!"
Battleships are definitely more fun than planets!
Therefore, little Annie immediately grabbed hold of her bear Tibbers and began to cast the spell. After a while, when the spell was completed, a super long-distance teleportation was carried out to the place floating in front of her field of vision. The wreckage of the battleship flashed past.
Wow……
Soon, after several long-distance teleportations, little Annie finally arrived at the huge battleship wreckage.
Even she herself didn't expect that the wreckage they saw before seemed quite close, but when she actually rushed here, it took a lot of effort! It’s more laborious than teleporting between continents on the planet!
Afterwards, Annie took her little bear and wandered around the dilapidated battleship. After a long time, they barely took a look around and understood the basic structure of the battleship.
However, they didn't make any valuable discoveries, except for the one in front of them, which seemed to be... an escape capsule that could still be used?
Could it be that this was left behind by the aliens when they escaped?
"Hey! Tibbers, tell me, this is called a rescue cabin. Is it really usable?"
After arriving inside the dilapidated starship, little Annie wandered around for a long time before finally discovering a small cylindrical spaceship in a corner that was not too badly damaged. , allowing her to easily identify the alien text next to the button next to the door of this small spaceship.
————
The rescue cabin can be used for escape in emergencies.
It is limited to ten passengers and is equipped with a standard Aiur pressure oxygen environment and emergency sleep chamber.
Protos, manufactured on the XXXX space station in XXXX.
————
(My little ancestor, now you have no choice, open it, and then go in and nest! Anyway, it said above: it is equipped with oxygen, and you have food yourself, so you’d better go in and stay home for a while. Months! I just don’t know if the water-generating technique still works in space? - Tibbers didn’t even think about it and directly persuaded little Annie.
When they were in New York, they watched a lot of TV series, science fiction dramas or movies. Now that they are here and have a lifeboat that seems to be intact, then they can be satisfied! )
"Okay, then, shall I press it? There won't be any strange space monsters inside, right?"
After saying that, little Annie pretended to be scared and timidly pressed the button marked open.
(Tibbers rolled his eyes at Annie's performance and didn't say anything. She pretended to be scared, but her eyes were full of excitement. Who were she trying to deceive? Hey! Maybe, she wished there was something inside Some kind of monster, right?)
"Wow... what a beautiful spaceship... it's a pity that there's nothing inside..."
There are no alien monsters in the alien spaceship? Bad review!
Little Annie curled her lips in dissatisfaction, put a little force on her feet, and floated directly in.
After sensing the vacuum environment outside the rescue cabin, the automatic door behind her quickly closed automatically.
Then, this magical rescue cabin began to directly pour oxygen into the cabin that can be breathed by living creatures. It also adjusted the pressure inside the cabin and created a weak gravity field to prevent little Annie from falling head and toes. Floating randomly.
After walking in and walking around the warehouse, which was only five square meters in size, little Annie discovered that in addition to five emergency dormant warehouses on each side, a console, and a metal chair, there seemed to be... Nothing at all?
"There is no bed...no sofa...and no bathroom...this spaceship is really inferior!"
Little Annie muttered dissatisfiedly, do all aliens cut corners like this? Build an extra bathroom or a bed or a sofa, and they won’t die!
(Alas... it's just a rescue capsule. It's already great that you can find this small spacecraft that can still be used here. Please don't expect too much - Tibbs sighed, this little ancestor of his family. , after becoming the queen for two terms, it seems that she has been raised to be cunning?)
"Huh? What does this button mean? Launch?"
Out of boredom, little Annie walked to the console and finished it, and saw that there seemed to be a whole row of various buttons on it? Then, she saw the largest and most conspicuous red button on it, and what was written on it seemed to mean... launch?
What is it going to launch? Weapons? It looks like a lot of fun!
(Don't click...Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, just keep playing slowly! - Tibbers sighed inwardly, but unfortunately, it was still slow to speak just now.
Just when it was about to dissuade it, little Annie was already looking for death, and directly reached out and pressed the red button. Then, the rescue capsule rushed directly into the boundless universe outside with a whoosh sound...)
"Wow! How cool, it can actually move?"
Annie was a little surprised. She couldn't wait to stand up from the driving seat, and then started to look at the console to see if there were any other interesting things, or weapons or something like that?
It's a pity that this spaceship is just a lifeboat for emergency escape. Just now, little Annie, who didn't know anything, pressed the launch button without even setting the coordinates.
So, now, I guess even the spacecraft itself doesn’t know where this ship is going to fly, right? Once its propulsion energy is exhausted, I'm afraid it will have no choice but to wander in the universe?
"Oh...it seems...there's nothing fun anymore."
Anne carefully looked at the various buttons on the control panel. Apart from some buttons that adjust the indoor environment or request connection to a certain spacecraft, there is also a green distress button?
Well, that's it!
So, after little Annie pressed the green button that sent out a distress signal, she began to lie on the metal chair, took out the food in her space pocket and started to eat.
(Master Anne... Is it really okay for you to press the distress signal casually like this? What if... a group of alien monsters come by then? - Tibbs no longer wants to I won’t accuse it of the outrageous behavior of its unreliable owner, but... a necessary reminder, it still has to do it.)
"Alien monsters? That's great! When the time comes, we'll seize their big spaceship, and then we'll have fun!"
Little Annie's eyes lit up when she heard about the alien monster.
Then, she raised her oily little fist holding the roasted lamb leg and waved it vigorously.
Now, she is already imagining: How will she deal with the aliens who intend to harm her? Destroy them first and then seize their spaceship? Or rob the spaceships first and then enslave them?
This is something worth considering carefully. Little Annie decided that when the time comes, she will first look at the other party's performance!
(Well, as long as you're happy when I don't say anything! - Tibbers decided that he would sleep for a while and ignore this terrible mistress for the time being.)
…
In 2229 AD, science and technology were extremely advanced and had begun to colonize the earth. Due to issues such as religion, language, culture, and uneven distribution of interests among countries, coupled with the fact that people on earth who had begun to embark on the path of colonizing the universe, finally We are no longer afraid of the outbreak of world war and the threat of nuclear weapons, so naturally, the Third World War broke out on the earth, in this cradle of mankind!
At this time, people on Earth think that anyway, they have begun to colonize the universe on a large scale. Anyway, they have enough fleets to transport all the people on Earth, so, it doesn't matter even if the Earth is destroyed? Then let’s fight!
Finally, after the end of World War III on Earth, a new coalition government UPL emerged here on Earth. They controlled most of the population and began to implement New Deal reforms.
However, this new unified government of the earth is an authoritarian and terrifying government. In the age of great space exploration, they only need one voice and are committed to eradicating all religious beliefs and the uniqueness between different civilizations!
Therefore, they destroyed all religions and different languages, and after the hibernation technology, warp drive, artificial gravity and levitation technology were mature, they unanimously passed a very humane resolution: those dissidents who did not obey their rule and Their families were crammed into several huge immigration ships, and after setting the wake-up time, they were directly exiled to the distant stars...
The idea of this coalition government is very good. Since those people are unwilling to surrender, and since the other party is causing trouble to the government all day long, then, very good, they will not kill them, but will exile those people to the other side of the distant universe.
Put them all into the immigration ship, then set the destination and arrive at the specified time before waking up. By then, the other party has already arrived on the other side of the distant universe. Even if they want to return to the earth or the solar system to cause trouble It’s all over, right?
Therefore, after the resolution came into effect, the coalition government packed all these dissidents into four huge immigrant spaceships, and prepared enough technology and colonial command centers for them to survive, and then sent them to a certain place in the universe. Once they were thrown in a remote direction, they were left to fend for themselves.
Originally, this plan was very good!
It can not only solve the discordant sounds on the earth, but also contribute to mankind's space colonization plan. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes!
It's a pity that the technology of the smart brain and navigation system they manufactured seems to be a bit unsatisfactory. The navigation system even turns off automatically? As a result, the destinations and earth coordinates of these colonial spaceships disappeared together... causing their original one-year journey to become a 28-year aimless warp voyage...
This is the origin of the human race in StarCraft at the beginning. In fact, they do not represent the entire human race, because they are just a small group of criminals who were exiled by the coalition government.
These four huge space immigration ships are the origin of the human race in StarCraft. When these exiled earthlings woke up from their long frozen sleep, they were shocked to find that the planet they were on was The territory is being threatened by two powerful alien forces?
Therefore, while they are working hard to develop themselves, they have no choice but to fight!
Only by fighting can we carve out a living space for these poor exiled people!
Because, those damn coalition governments, they actually calculated the energy and materials of the space immigration ship accurately? At this time when they woke up, all supplies and energy were exhausted, which made them unable to even move to a safe place.
If you think that little Annie's trip took place on these four colonial ships, then you are wrong. In fact, it is not...
This is another story. Without Little Annie, these people probably would not have appeared in the plot of StarCraft I. But now, Little Annie, the butterfly, has stirred up a storm again?
You must know that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. This is an eternal theorem.
After the authoritarian and brutal new United Government of Earth, UPL, ruled for a period of time, new discordant voices once again appeared on the Earth: a small group of people were once again gathered together for a common pursuit, and they tried to unite. The government made its own different voices to protest and demand improvement of its living environment.
However, there were probably tens of thousands of them, and in the end, all of them, including their family members, were arrested by the coalition government.
Since it has been said before that after the Third World War, the brutal and authoritarian UPL new coalition government of Earth emerged, then how could they still tolerate this small group of new dissidents?
Therefore, it is certain that these people will be arrested.
Of course, killing them all would be too cruel, too bloody, and too easy to attract people's attention and cause chaos.
In the end, after discussion, they could only take up the original exile decision again. Since there was a precedent to follow, it would be much easier to handle.
So, in the end, naturally, these more than 100,000 rebels and their families were once again stuffed into another larger space colony ship that was built.
In 2333 AD, when all the prisoners entered the cryopod and set the recovery time and conditions, the poor spaceship was once again set by the coalition government to take another remote course that was different from the previously exiled prisoners to prevent After they merged with the previous criminals, they were kicked far away to the other side of the universe...
The experienced coalition government has become very proficient in deporting prisoners. This time, they didn't even try to control the other party and just threw them out.
Regarding these dissidents, they did not kill any of them, nor did they imprison any of them!
And just a simple exile can completely obliterate the opponent in space and time! When these annoying criminals wake up more than a hundred years later, who on earth will remember them?
Look, how harmonious and civilized their union is? This can almost be called a model in the moral world! No one dares to say that the coalition government is authoritarian. Their sixth colonial spaceship, which is used to exile prisoners, is already on standby!
If anyone wants to live in it, just come and sign up, the United Government UPL welcomes them!
There are really no thresholds, no requirements, and it also includes food and accommodation. If one person signs up, the whole family will be honored and the whole family will be included!
At the beginning of Earth's 2334 AD, this fifth medium-sized space colonization spacecraft, with two standard interstellar colonization command centers and more than 100,000 exiles, headed in a different direction from the previous four colonization spacecraft, after flying out of the solar system. , entered the warp speed voyage, and once again embarked on a lonely and long journey...
…
More than a hundred years ago, the fifth exile spacecraft thrown out by the new United Earth Government, numbered NO. 5, has now reached its destination. Well... in fact, it has no destination at all!
In this strange star field, there is no star map for navigation, and there is no valuable intelligence. Everything depends on their lonely colonial spacecraft to explore, develop and survive.
In the end, whether they can survive here depends on their own abilities.
If, by accident, all of these people died, maybe it would really be the wish of the damn coalition government UPL at that time, right?
Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and I don’t know if UPL on the other side of the world has collapsed? What has become of their earth?
Michelle Yeoh, the captain of the Hope, was currently sitting in the captain's command seat of the giant colonial spaceship, waiting for her crew members to get busy and collect various data.
Originally, this colonial ship was not called the Hope. It was the name given by her, the captain, after the more than 100,000 exiled and oppressed people woke up.
This means that it will lead them, in this strange star field, towards hope and find the hope for the survival of more than 100,000 of them!
Because those arrogant and damned autocratic bureaucrats just painted a NO.5 symbol on the outer bulkhead of the spacecraft, identification number five, which means: Exiled spacecraft, the fifth ship!
As for other official names? Sorry, they would not waste their precious brain cells on a ship destined to be discarded.
They had just woken up today. As the captain, she and the other crew members had only undergone a short period of simple training before being stuffed into the dormant cabin.
They can only ensure that the ship will not be driven into a certain planet by themselves. As for the rest, you really can't expect those joint bureaucrats who have long regarded them as dead animals to do too much.
In the eyes of their UPL coalition bureaucrats, an expensive colonial spaceship has been prepared for these criminals. What else do you want them to do? Send someone to help them drive?
Do not make jokes! What does the life and death of these people have to do with them? Before waking up, smart computers can help them drive. As for after waking up, after training, if they still can't drive, they will be knocked down and it will be over.
"Captain, the general data has been collected!"
The current female first mate of the Hope, Doug Jones, took a transparent glass-shaped portable smart terminal about six inches in size and walked to stand in front of the captain, Michelle, and then performed a fairly standard military salute.
Like everyone else on their bridge, she was not a professional soldier before entering the dormant cabin. She was forced to train as a battleship officer by those bastards from the alliance. You know, before that, she, Doug ?Jones is a freedom-loving artist.
"Read it..."
Michelle Yeoh looked at the various crew members on the consoles in front of them who were busy looking at the instructions, and sighed in her heart.
She felt that it was too difficult for her to lead these people to find a planet where they could survive and develop.
"yes!"
After Doug bowed again, he clumsily searched for the document he was going to report on the smart terminal.
Her actions made Captain Zi Qiong feel sad again.
"Currently, all of our 136,820 people have woken up and most of them have adapted. However, more than 3,121 people have suffered violent reactions and died! More than 6,000 people have been admitted. In the ward, there is a serious shortage of medical staff, and we can only rely on intelligent medical robots to maintain the status quo. This is all the information about our ship's personnel."
After swiping a few times on the holographic screen in his hand, First Officer Doug quickly listed the personnel information reported from other positions.
With so many people killed and injured at once, it is obvious that UPL's dormant warehouse technology does not have the ability to sleep for a long time, but the other party has forced them to sleep for more than a hundred years. The other party's intention is obviously obvious. !
"The following is the energy and material situation: The energy inventory of our ship Hope is seriously insufficient. According to the situation sent back by the chief engineer, it can still sail for about sixty Earth days at most!"
"Moreover, the most important living supplies are not only in a single category, but the reserve inventory is also seriously insufficient! According to the estimates of the logistics department, the inventory... can only last for less than 40 days at most for 130,000 of us. After that, only I can continue to rely on synthetic food for a month or two..."
At this point, Doug's face became a little sad. Those UPL bureaucrats have gone too far!
On the colonial spacecraft, there is only a small food cultivation warehouse? It wasn't until a few years ago that they woke up that they were controlled by intelligent computers and cultivated several batches of food crops and embryonic animals, so that they now discovered that there was a serious shortage of food?
"It seems... we must find a suitable planet to resume production as soon as possible, and this task must be done before the energy is exhausted!"
Ziqiong muttered to herself, then took a deep breath and turned towards the navigator.
"Navigator, use the fastest speed to collect nearby star maps. We need to find the nearest and most suitable planet. This is the first priority! You must do it as soon as possible!"
she shouted sternly at Navigator Anthony.
"Ah, ah? Yes! I, I will do it as soon as possible!"
Her stern expression made Anthony, who was already a novice, even more flustered.
Then, he quickly adjusted the glasses on his eyes, and then quickly started to flip through the thick paper manual. But, actually, he could use a smart terminal to search. In this case, would it be more convenient?
However, you have to understand that he is a newbie...
"Captain, I scanned and found a strange rhythmic signal! It looks like it should be a strange lifeboat, and it seems to be very close to us?"
Radar chief Sonia, who was responsible for radar observation and signal collection, turned around and reported to their captain in a somewhat puzzled tone.
She had only seen this situation in textbooks, but this was the first time she had encountered it.
"Immediately turn on the active quantum radar of Hope and conduct a comprehensive scan of the surrounding star field! Execute immediately!"
To be discovered by being so close to an artificial object? Captain Michelle Yeoh was immediately furious!
Who knows if that thing is a lifeboat? Or, is it an attack weapon of some alien creatures? Moreover, listening to the radar chief's report, it seems that the other party is still so close to his ship, the Hope? Is that worth it?
This matter must be taken seriously and sufficient vigilance must be maintained!
"Why are you still standing there?!"
Seeing that the radar commander was still in a daze, Michelle Yeoh was angry.
Sure enough, these newcomers are all unreliable!
I'm afraid that among the 130,000 people on board now, there are probably less than a hundred people with formal military training, right? That's not to mention officers in various positions who have experience on ships.
"Huh? Okay...ok!"
Sonia came to her senses with a start, and began to operate it hurriedly. After a while, after turning on the more energy-consuming active radar, she quickly got specific results.
"Report to Captain! The other party... must indeed be a strange lifeboat! I didn't observe any energy reaction. The other party seems to have lost power?"
The radar director said a little uncertainly, then turned to look at the data on the holographic screen.
"Now, it is relying on inertia to move in front of us at high speed along the predetermined orbit. The distance is... less than 30,000 kilometers! Moreover, according to the life signal, the person sitting on it... seems to be a human?"
Sonia was also very surprised by the signal displayed on the interface.
In this place, in this distant and unfamiliar star field, besides their crew, how could there be other human beings? Could it be that the instruments of this spacecraft that had been flying for more than a hundred years failed?
"Are you sure you read that correctly?!"
Captain Ziqiong was shocked. What kind of international joke was this? How can this be?
In this distant and unfamiliar star field, even the exiles like them had drifted in warp speed for more than a hundred years before they got here!
So, what kind of person is this human being sitting in a strange rescue cabin now? Isn't it a little too weird to encounter such a situation here?
For a moment, Captain Michelle Yeoh was a little undecided.
She didn't know, what should she do?
To be honest, she has only been the captain of a small warship. She has no experience in a large colonial ship like this... She is burdened with the expectations of more than 100,000 people. In a situation like this , how to deal with it?
"Captain? What should we do now? In twelve minutes and twenty-one seconds, it will drift past the position in front of us."
Radar chief Sonia asked again.
Based on the computer's calculation data, she quickly figured out the opponent's orbit and the specific time of passage. Their Hope had to respond before then, otherwise, the opponent would drift far along the orbit.
"..."
Michelle Yeoh ignored Chief Radar's inquiry again, but frowned, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Mate Doug, let the Marines prepare. Equip them with an armored transport spacecraft and let them be fully armed to capture the rescue capsule. Only after confirming that the other party does not pose any threat to us can we let them They return!"
After thinking for a while, Captain Ziqiong finally made the decision to capture the rescue capsule.
She is also very curious now. Are there humans in that strange lifeboat as shown on the radar? Or other alien creatures?
Although rashly capturing the other party would bring certain risks to her Hope, she still decided to do so.
Moreover, she has also taken corresponding insurance measures. She will definitely not let the lifeboat enter her Hope until she is sure that the other party is absolutely safe!
When the time comes, let the Marines and the others inspect the transport spaceship before it gets on board, right? Even if there is real danger, it will only result in the loss of a Marine team and a transport spaceship?
"Yes! Captain!"
Doug stood at attention and responded, then picked up the communication device in his hand and began to issue orders to the Marines who had also just woken up.
On their huge immigration spaceship, there are currently only two squads of Marines, each with ten members, equipped with old-style power combat uniforms and 8 mm caliber C-15 spike electromagnetic guns. , the equipment is quite sophisticated.
But... what worries First Officer Doug the most is that all of them, including the captain, are all new recruits...
Is it too much to ask a group of new recruits who have just woken up to perform such a task?
