"Hope, this is the heavy armored transport ship YS001. I am Captain Plank. The members of the Cobra Marine Team and the ghost agents have boarded the ship. Now everyone is in place and can land on the planet at any time. Please allow us to leave the port. "
On the Hope, there is an airport located in the belly of the colonial spacecraft.
After this armored transport ship carried the fully armed Cobra Team of Captain Galen and the foreign ghost agent Little Annie, they were now ready to take off and land on the planet JNO.3.
As a military heavy armored transport ship in the space age, YS001 has the ability to take off and land between the planet and space under its own power.
It can be said that it is also a cosmic shuttle vehicle capable of traveling within short distances within the galaxy. When in the solar system, it can even be used to transport materials and personnel between the earth and the moon, or between the earth and Mars.
"The bridge has been received. This is the Hope. Captain Plank, you can take off now. After testing, the weather conditions near the landing site are currently good. I wish you good luck!"
A navigator on the bridge who was responsible for information processing and coordination, after hearing the report from Captain Plank of the transport ship, turned around and asked Captain Leona who was sitting in the captain's seat.
After receiving permission, she immediately replied to Gangplank who was ready.
This operation is a major matter related to the life and death of the Hope. Everyone is more concerned about it. Even the colonial city inside the Hope has a live broadcast. Therefore, there is no room for sloppiness in this matter. .
"Transport spacecraft YS001 received! Now, I'm ready to take off, please open the port door!"
When he saw the thick metal gate in front of the transport ship rising slowly, Captain Plank pushed the propeller forward violently, and then, two huge The Titan thruster began to spray out two streams of blue high-energy particles violently.
Then, under the influence of huge thrust, the armored transport ship carrying the landing team and the ghost agents rushed out of the airport located in the belly of the Hope and flew directly to the JNO.3 planet below at high speed.
"Hey, Galen! Are you ready? I'm going to forcefully land on the planet, so you have to hold on tight!"
In the channel inside the transport spacecraft, after laughing and talking to Galen's marines, Planck ignored the other party's reaction and directly increased the energy output of the spacecraft, allowing this heavy military armored transport ship to Rushing towards the planet's atmosphere at a faster speed.
He likes these powerful big guys. They are simply not on the same level as the small broken boats he used to drive when Gangplank was smuggling!
"Qiang, forced landing?! Are you crazy? Gangplank, this is no joke!"
When Galen heard what the other party said and subconsciously grabbed the metal handrail of the landing cabin, the transport ship suddenly plunged towards the JNO.3 planet below. The momentum of a full sprint to the landing site?
"Quick, slow down! Are you crazy? It will crash, it will crash! Slow down, you lunatic!"
Although all the windows of the transport ship have now been closed, Galen can still clearly see from the camera equipment inside the ship that the armored outer wall of the transport ship outside has rubbed against the planet's atmosphere. It actually started to turn red slowly. Once it melts due to overheating, this is no joke!
You know, if you continue to accelerate like this without hesitation, once the composite heavy armor outside the spacecraft is overloaded, their transport spacecraft will no longer be a spaceship!
When the time comes, it will catch fire and burn, and then, like a metal meteorite, it will lose control and crash into the surface of the planet...
In that case, everyone will be burned alive by the high temperature before hitting the ground!
"Hahaha... Captain Galen, don't worry, this spaceship is very strong! You may not know that when I was driving the smuggling spaceship, I had done even crazier things!"
Plank laughed wildly without caring, and pulled out another flat metal wine bottle from somewhere.
This was really not what he said. Planck still remembered that when they were smuggling a batch of in-demand goods from Mars back to Earth, in order to get rid of those anti-smuggling boats, he controlled his spacecraft and plunged into Entering the earth's atmosphere, the terrifying speed made the other party think that their spacecraft would definitely crash!
But what's the result?
Planck was still alive and well, and the outer shell of the spaceship was only damaged by more than 50%. When the anti-smuggling department on the ground found their tattered spaceship, they had already been there. With the help of ground personnel, all the goods were transported away.
"Captain Plank, please be careful. This operation is very important to our Hope. There cannot be any mistakes."
When Planck laughed wildly, he was about to continue accelerating and then forcefully land on the planet.
On the channel, a stern female voice suddenly came from. It was obviously the voice of Captain Leona of the Hope. She was currently paying attention to this matter in the bridge.
Captain Leona, who had served in the UPL regular army, certainly knew that Plank's behavior was indeed normal behavior during a forced landing.
This YS001 heavy armored transport ship is a military ship. It was designed to meet the needs of combat.
Now the opponent's speed is indeed within the tolerable range of the spacecraft.
If it is a forced landing in a state of war, the heavy armored transport ship can indeed carry a large number of troops and rush directly into the atmosphere at a higher speed than now, break through various defense measures of the planet, and finally forcibly airdrop the troops to above the surface of the planet.
However, it is not a state of war after all, and Captain Plank still dares to play like this. This makes Captain Leona, who is watching the operation on the bridge of the Hope behind, a little bit intolerable.
Since no enemies have been found below, and it is not in a state of war, then there is no need to waste energy and the armor of the transport ship like that, right?
After all, there are only two transport ships on the Hope now, so there is no need to mess around like this.
"Now, your transport ship is equipped with self-defense weapons! If the temperature outside your ship is too high, it may cause unnecessary trouble to the weapons!"
Captain Leona frowned and reminded the other party again.
Because, in order to provide necessary air support to the airborne troops and command center, the YS001 armored transport ship had some of its armor removed and a multi-barreled electromagnetic gun installed.
If Captain Plank is really allowed to mess around like this, maybe after the outer armor overheats, the newly installed weapon system without much debugging will cause unnecessary malfunctions?
"Okay, okay! You are the boss, you have the final say!"
Now that most of the captains of the Hope have spoken, Plank finally dared not mess around again.
So, he had no choice but to mutter a few words, reached out to turn back the energy output of the thruster, and switched the manual operation mode directly to the boring automatic navigation system.
"It's so boring!"
He looked at it and found that there was nothing to do with him for the time being, so he secretly took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and started to take a sip.
Anyway, it is now automatically cruising, automatically cutting into orbit, and can also automatically land. So, there is nothing wrong with him as the captain. After a few sips of wine, it should be okay, right?
"Hey! Galen, the speed has slowed down now, you can open the window and enjoy the scenery!"
After warning the Marines in the cabin below, out of boredom, Planck leaned his feet directly on the console, sat crookedly on the driver's seat and drank.
This was already his old habit. As long as he got drunk, he would feel full of energy and be able to perform cool stunts like flying a starship.
"Wow...what a big planet! It's a pity...it looks so shabby and ugly!"
After little Annie heard the captain of the transport ship say that she could see the scenery, she immediately pressed a small button next to her window.
Then, when the outer armor plate slowly moved away, she lay down on the special transparent glass window and looked at the JNO.3 planet they were about to land on.
This planet is just like what Anne just said. When viewed from space, it is a huge, earth-yellow planet without any vegetation or animals. It seems to be just like other planets in the universe. A planet with a harsh environment is generally lifeless.
Little Annie suddenly felt that the planet below seemed... not very fun?
"Phew! This madman finally slowed down."
After Galen breathed a sigh of relief, he began to directly control the power combat suit, and suddenly sat down on a solid metal seat.
Then, he began to look at little Annie, who was wearing red and white tight-fitting armor opposite him.
Galen suddenly felt that the big guys above had indeed planned it!
Look, even the opponent's armor is secretly prepared? This is definitely not a sudden idea, right? I'm afraid they had already started preparing and custom-made this special ghost suit for little Annie a few days ago?
Then, he looked at the special 20 mm caliber, super-powerful electromagnetic sniper rifle specially made by the Flame Goddess I SS-01, which was fixed to the bulkhead of the transport ship with Little Annie leaning against it. Galen couldn't bear it. Stay in bouts of cold sweat!
Can this thing still be called a rifle?
This is obviously... just a handheld electromagnetic gun, okay? !
Look at its caliber: it's a full twenty millimeters!
If a shot were fired, no matter where it hit, Galen believed that their Marines' armored power vehicles would definitely be beaten into a pile of pieces by this terrifying murder weapon, right?
The terrifying recoil of such a large-caliber weapon can only be used by a little alien girl like Little Annie, who has a non-human physique and is herself a non-human, right?
By the way, what is the caliber of the multi-barrel electromagnetic gun modified on this heavy armored transport ship? It seems to be only a dozen millimeters, right?
Therefore, the caliber of her individual weapons is larger than the caliber of this transport ship's ship-borne weapons...
It is said that she seems to have some powerful powers? Are all the humans on Valoran so powerful? Otherwise, how could a little girl beat up these marines?
Anyway, no matter what, Galen still had strong objections to the fact that his superiors agreed to take a little girl to land on an unknown planet!
No matter how powerful little Annie is, she is still just a little girl. Now that she has been rescued, just keep her as a mascot on the Hope. How much can she eat? How much to use? Is it okay to let others work hard for the Hope?
There are still more than 100,000 people aboard the Hope. Didn't they recruit a lot of new soldiers?
When the time comes, sending a lot of marines down will be more useful than just one little girl, right?
Galen felt that little Annie was just a little better at simulated confrontations, a little stronger, and her physique was indeed special. However, in real combat, we still have to rely on marines like them who can fight and dare to fight. !
"Little Annie...can you stop looking at it? It's just a broken planet, there's nothing interesting to see! Don't you need to get familiar with your weapons first?"
Seeing the little girl still lying on the window on her side, continuing to stare at the planet outside and the scenery, when Galen checked his weapons again, he finally couldn't help but vomit.
If he remembered correctly, the opponent's weapon was a special electromagnetic gun-like weapon. It seemed that it had just been issued to her today, right? They went to change clothes so quickly, so they probably didn't have much time to get familiar with the live ammunition operation of the weapons?
So, why not get familiar with your weapons while you still have some time? Do you have to wait until there is an emergency to start the fight before you have to hurriedly control it?
"Familiar with the weapon? Why should you be familiar with it? It has a larger muzzle and stronger recoil. The rest is almost the same as the weapon in the simulated confrontation. There is no competition to get familiar with it!"
Upon hearing Galen's question, little Annie jumped out of the window.
Bang! With a bang, her metal-armored shoes stepped directly onto the deck of the spaceship, which was also made of metal. It made a loud noise, attracting the nearby Marines who were checking their weapons and ammunition for the last time to look over.
"You...have fired live ammunition?"
After hearing what little Annie said, Galen couldn't help but be stunned.
It stands to reason that when the two of them ran to change clothes, not much time passed before and after, right? Has she already conducted live fire in such a short period of time?
"That's right! We went to try it out at that time, and Aunt Doug even said that my shooting was stable and accurate, and it was much better than you stupid Marines!"
At that time, little Annie was in the shooting range next to the equipment room, and she shot out a standard magazine in one go, which contained twenty rounds of standard 20mm bullets, and all of them were ten-ring!
At that time, even Aunt Doug, who took her to change clothes, was so scared that she was stunned.
"Aunt Doug? Who is that?"
Galen was confused by what he said to little Annie. He never remembered anyone he knew who could be called an aunt, right?
Whether it's the Marine Corps, the staff on the bridge, or the technical department, there seems to be no woman who can be called an aunt, right?
"Ahem...little Annie, you talk too much!"
Suddenly, the voice of First Officer Doug Jones, the commander-in-chief of the command center of this operation, came from the communicator.
Then, Galen suddenly remembered: It turns out that the aunt that little Annie was talking about was actually this Doug?
This is really a bit...
"Ah! Well, sister Doug, it's not you I was talking about just now!"
The person who spoke ill of people behind their backs was caught red-handed, and little Annie quickly opened her mouth to try to explain.
However, her explanation was so feeble. You know, on the entire Hope, the only person they knew and called Doug was the first mate, right?
She is only in her twenties now, and she is about to be called aunt by little Annie?
"..."
There was no reply from the channel. It seems that First Officer Doug is also very angry with Little Annie, right?
"By the way, Annie, do you also want to take this teddy bear around your waist with you? Otherwise, you leave it here and let Uncle Plank bring you back to the Hope? I think he will take care of it well." Put it in your room, right, Gangplank?"
After Galen looked at the teddy bear on Anne's waist, he finally couldn't help but ask.
You know, the ghost suit can make you invisible, and if she wears this toy, being invisible will be the same as not being invisible, right?
With this little bear on her waist, the enemy will know where she is hiding without having to think too much! This would probably be very detrimental to her movement and safety.
"That's right! Little Annie, just leave the teddy bear on your seat. When you go back, I will ask the crew to send it to your room."
Captain Plank, who was drinking, also heard the conversation between Anne and Galen, so his drunken response was quickly heard on the channel.
Teddy bear or something, he should remember to remind the crew.
At that time, when they return to the Hope, the crew will help the little girl throw the teddy bear back to her room.
"No! Tibbers is my favorite toy! I will never abandon it!"
This big guy Galen actually wants to leave his little bear Tibbers behind?
This is absolutely impossible! Little Annie will never do this. No matter where she goes, Tibbers must follow her. No one can persuade her!
"But... if you carry it, it will reveal your position when you are invisible!"
After thinking about it, Galen truthfully expressed his concerns.
If the invisibility function of Little Annie's ghost suit is limited because of this, it will really be too much of a loss!
After all, although this toy is not big, anyone who is not blind can probably spot it, right?
Anyway, in Galen's search radar, the target of this teddy bear is too easy to find. If little Annie is still carrying it when she is invisible, then she will never be able to escape his lock!
"You don't have to worry about that. I have magic and can make it invisible!"
Little Annie patted the bear on her waist and said proudly.
Who is she? She herself is a powerful demigod mage. It is very simple to make the bear invisible!
From Little Annie's point of view, she knows a lot of invisibility spells! When turning on the ghost's invisibility function, wouldn't it be difficult to make Tibbers invisible as well?
This is just a matter of convenience, you don’t need to worry about it!
"Okay... Is this also your superpower? But what's the use of this toy bear if you carry it?"
Galen thought that invisibility was one of little Annie's powers, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.
However, he still has some doubts about bringing a teddy bear to the battlefield. This kind of thing that is stuck on the waist and gets in the way, even if there is a way to hide it, will always hinder certain military operations, right?
At critical moments, if you are not careful, big problems will occur!
"I don't have any superpowers! I've told you many times, it's magic, magic! Moreover, Tibbers is much more useful than you Marines. When it gets angry, a hundred of you You can’t beat it!”
How dare this big guy say Tibbers is useless? This is a shadow flame giant bear at the peak of legend!
Annie turned her head away with disdain. If she really let the little bear out, it would even be able to bite off the big guy with one bite!
Her little bear Tibbers is much more useful than their useless Marines.
"Okay, okay, your little bear is useful! So, aren't you afraid of accidentally losing it while running? Then, if you can't find it, you will cry!"
Galen thought that what little Annie was saying just now was angry.
Anyway, it's just a teddy bear, whatever she says is fine. Therefore, he wasn't too worried. He just continued teasing the other party while it was still some time before landing, just to relieve the tense atmosphere.
"My little bear Tibbs will never lose it! Even if it is lost, it will come back on its own, or I can summon it back!"
Will the bear be lost? This is completely impossible!
In the past, during a fight, no matter how far the bear ran, as long as Annie called, it would quickly run to her side.
Besides, Tibbers the Bear was her own summoned contracted creature. Even if she lost it, she could directly cast a spell to summon it to her side. How could she lose it?
Only Galen, who doesn't understand magic, is too big to say such mindless nonsense, right?
(Okay, little Master Anne, stop chatting with this idiot. The spaceship should be landing on the planet soon. You have to be careful! I feel an aura of evil and chaos here. This planet below is not simple. Na!
——When Annie wanted to say something else, Tibbs quickly reminded her through the spiritual link.
Although the danger of this planet is not too great, it felt something was wrong and reminded its little master Anne in time. )
"Huh?"
This means that later, there will be a fight under this planet?
This is excellent!
After hearing the reminder from Tibbers the Bear, little Annie was stunned for a moment. Then, she ignored Uncle Galen, who was still planning to say something to her, and ran directly to her weapon.
After grabbing her special weapon from the bulkhead, she also packed a large box with an estimated tens of thousands of special sniper bullets into her dimensional pocket.
"This, this... what is this? Little Annie, is that your power?"
After seeing little Annie across the way clearing out all the ammunition in the entire ammunition box in just a moment, Galen, who was looking at her, finally became a little uneasy.
That was a standard ammunition box, with more than ten thousand rounds of 20mm special bullets... and it was gone after she pulled it in twos and twos?
Where did she hide those bullets? Is there such a convenient power? Special space? Folding space? Storage tank space?
"Oh, I told you, this is magic! Forget it, don't worry about it, you don't understand even if I tell you! Uncle Galen, you have to be careful, my little bear said, on this planet below, it has eccentric!"
After collecting her own bullets, little Annie stood on the deck holding the 20 mm caliber Vulcan I SS-01 special type super electromagnetic sniper rifle that was about the same height as her.
Then, she looked at the big man Galen sitting opposite her with a serious face.
"What did you... said Little Bear? Little Bear... okay, I already know, thank you for reminding me."
Originally, Galen was a little nervous after hearing little Annie say that there was danger on the JNO.3 planet below.
However, when he understood that the bear she was talking about was Tibbers, the toy bear she wore around her waist, Galen rolled his eyes in confusion, and then regarded this warning as a warning to a little girl. His prank was gone.
Is there danger on this planet? That is absolutely impossible!
Didn’t the early detection satellites already show it? On this planet, no life signal has been detected, and there is no infrared display of life!
Like most ordinary planets in the universe, this is just a highly acidic planet with a harsh environment!
Galen felt that instead of worrying about unwarranted dangers, why not pray and hope that the natural climate below would not be too terrifying?
For example: a big tsunami...or strong acid rain or something like that?
