When the YS001 heavy armored transport ship successfully and smoothly entered the atmosphere of the JNO.3 planet under the automatic navigation system and reached an altitude of almost 10,000 meters from the landing site, Captain Plank finally drank all his A metal bottle of vodka and switched the automatic cruise mode to manual operation mode again.
Now, he was impatient and prepared to get closer to the ground and tell the marines in the cabin to land early and get out.
"Are you ready? Marine boys? We are about to land on the ground. You must hold on tight!"
Captain Plank of the armored transport ship really disliked the circling and lowering altitude mode of the automatic navigation as it was too time-consuming, and he was already a little impatient.
Therefore, when he switched to manual mode, he turned off the automatic cruise mode of circling and slowly lowering the altitude, and directly pressed the joystick hard, causing the armored transport ship to move almost in line with the ground. At an angle of 90 degrees, it began to dive at high speed.
"We have already prepared, but, Captain Plank, could you please drive the ship a little more smoothly? Just land slowly on the ground and open the hatch!"
Fortunately, Galen had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the handrail of the transport ship's bulkhead, preventing the drunken bastard from being thrown into the corner.
But even so, at this time, under the accelerated dive of the armored transport spacecraft, he felt waves of weightlessness.
He swore that after a hundred days, when he returned to the Hope after completing his mission, he would make a strong complaint against this drunken and disorderly captain!
If they had a choice, Galen and the others would never want to take the transport ship driven by this bastard captain again, because it was as if they were risking their lives at any time, and it really tested the endurance of their hearts. !
"Haha! Landing on the ground? No, no, no! I think you must have made something wrong? I will not land on this damn planet! I will fly over from about thirty to fifty meters above the ground, and then , and open the hatch at the same time, when the time comes, you guys can jump out on your own!"
Captain Plank continued his dive while grinning evilly in the channel.
Because, when he looked at the ground through the window in front of the transport ship, for some reason, he always felt a feeling of heart palpitations?
This is a unique intuition that belongs to an experienced driver!
In the past, when he was still smuggling, he had used this intuition to avoid many dangers in the universe.
Years of smuggling told Plank that the JNO.3 planet below is definitely not simple, and even... seems to be dangerous?
Whenever he looked intently at the approaching ground below, it seemed as if... there was some terrifying cosmic beast hidden on the planet below?
Therefore, he will never fall to the ground easily!
Because of this, now he only plans to fly across the ground at high speed so that the Marine boys can jump down from the open hatch. Is that okay?
"Plank...it's not a combat situation now, and it's not a war zone down there. Are you going to torment us like this?!"
Captain Galen was a little angry. Captain Gangplank, what he did was a little too much, right?
Although the Marine Corps' armored power combat suit allows forced extreme jump landings at a height of more than 100 meters, the armored power suit was designed with complete shock absorption and emergency deceleration functions.
However, if you are really forced to jump directly later, how can you have the comfort of landing on the ground and slowly running out of the cabin?
Besides, there are no enemies on the ground below, and there are no anti-aircraft guns that can shoot down the transport ship. Therefore, Galen felt: Captain Plank, this old bastard, he is deliberately playing a trick on them! This drunken bastard is just trying to save trouble!
Just like when he entered the planet's atmosphere, if Captain Leona hadn't looked past and said something, this bad guy would have rushed to the landing site by force, right? Isn't he afraid of burning all the armor plates of this transport ship?
"Stop talking nonsense! Now, prepare to reach the scheduled height! Not far ahead is your scheduled landing site. I will pass over from a height of about fifty meters above the ground. Then, you will only have about twenty seconds to jump. Log in time, don’t wait if it’s late!”
After squinting his eyes and saying something on the channel, Captain Plank breathed heavily with a mouth full of alcohol and firmly grasped the joystick of the spacecraft with both hands.
When the spacecraft dived close to the ground at a height of almost fifty meters, and the red impact warning light on the console flashed wildly, he suddenly pulled the joystick, causing the spacecraft to fly thirty or fifty meters above the ground. It flew past in parallel at a height of meters.
He just ignored Captain Galen's feeble protest!
Now, I'm afraid the only one who can control him is Captain Leona of the Hope, right? How could a small captain of the Marine Corps affect his behavior as a captain?
"Okay, now we have arrived at the scheduled location and the cabin door has been opened. You don't have much time. Get ready to jump out of the plane! Marine cubs, I wish you a happy time on this planet!"
After opening the cabin door, Plank dug out a small wine bottle from somewhere. Then, without even looking at the Marines in the cabin, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank.
The height of the spacecraft from the ground is now only more than thirty meters, less than fifty meters? They only have twenty seconds. If he doesn't jump by then, he will have to increase his height!
Moreover, Planck is not afraid that the other party will complain about him!
Because, according to the landing manual: when the transport spacecraft passed the landing site at low altitude, the Marines jumped out and landed on their own, which was in compliance with wartime regulations.
If there was a war going on below, he could even fly directly over from an altitude of about a hundred meters? But now, he is only about thirty meters tall, and he is already very merciful, jumping as much as he likes, and not knocking him down!
"Oh, my God! Captain, why do you look so tall? How about...Captain Galen, can you give us a demonstration first?"
Although during simulation training, they even conducted similar forced landing combat exercises from an extreme altitude of more than 100 meters, the armored power combat uniforms they wore were designed with this situation in mind. It also has the perfect shock-proof and shock-absorbing landing function for landing operations, which they are all familiar with.
But... the situation is different now. This is not a simulation, this is actual combat...
After all, this is not the kind of simulation training where you are not afraid of casualties. If you accidentally land head first when you jump, something big will happen!
"Okay, stop nagging and jump! That bastard Planck, he only gave us twenty seconds. If you don't jump, you will have to bungee jump over 100 meters later when he raises the height. !”
Galen had just finished speaking, before he could take the lead or urge the team members to jump off the plane.
A petite figure wearing red and white tight-fitting power armor took the lead in squeezing through the crowd, jumped directly from the open door of the transport ship, and jumped to the ground vigorously.
"Wow~! Well done! What a beautiful jumping action. I like this little girl named Annie!"
When she saw the Marines still lingering by the hatch, the little alien girl named Annie jumped out first? Captain Planck was so happy about this situation that he blew a big whistle, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to praise it.
"Are you Marines a bunch of trash? Why are you dawdling?! Are you really worse than a little girl? Let me see, you still have the last ten seconds!"
After praising little Annie, Captain Plank turned a dark face and roared angrily at the Marines who were still hesitating.
These bastards have really disgraced the face of mankind on earth!
Are they even worse than a little alien girl? At this height, you won’t die if you jump! Are they still afraid of eggs?
"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, jump off the plane and log in immediately!"
Galen also felt a little blushing, so he quickly stepped forward to push and push his subordinates.
After seeing someone take the lead and jump out first, the other marines, under the supervision of their captain, ran a few steps quickly, rushed out of the transport ship's hatch, and jumped directly to the hard ground of the planet. Jumped down.
Bang! Bang! Bang! …
After eleven consecutive sounds of dull and thick armor falling to the ground and eleven clouds of smoke being thrown up, Captain Galen and his Cobra team, as well as Little Annie, the foreign ghost agent, they represent the hope of mankind. It was the first time I landed and came into contact with this strange planet that was still a little strange to them humans.
Everything you see is desolate. Except for the tawny sky and the rocky ground of almost the same color, there are no other colors here, and there are no other animals, plants, or breath of life.
Apart from the dust stirred up by the eleven of them when they first landed, all that was left were the strange flowing winds that were still blowing on the planet...
"Attention all marines! Follow the original arrangements and go to your predetermined location for reconnaissance! If you find any abnormality, report it as soon as possible! Hurry up and move quickly! This is not a drill, repeat! This is definitely not exercise!"
With a click, Galen loaded his electromagnetic rifle fiercely after giving orders to his team members in the channel.
After once again confirming that the 8mm caliber spiked electromagnetic rifle in his hand was in good condition, he immediately followed the instructions on the electronic holographic map on the panel and quickly headed to the predetermined location that had been arranged on the Hope.
call! call!
Panting quietly, Galen started running quickly. The metal feet of his huge and thick armored power suit stepped on the gravel, leaving behind huge pieces of earth belonging to humans on the planet. footprints.
"Everyone, move quickly, pay attention to the situation around you, and keep an eye on your radar at the same time!"
Galen reminded the team members while running and continued to perform his duties as captain.
This was the first time that his Cobra team landed on an alien planet to perform a combat mission. Although he himself did not think there could be any enemies here, he still issued various orders in accordance with the original mission arrangement.
Because, after they complete the investigation and confirm that the surrounding area is safe, the huge and expensive command center will detach from the Hope and slowly land.
Galen quickly climbed to the top of a hill he was assigned. This was his reconnaissance point.
In the distance to his left, there is a huge ocean of strong acid with endless waves, and to his right, there is a large area of high and low, which seems to have been corroded for a long time, with obvious pits and pits. Stone plain?
…
Seeing the scenery in front of him, Galenzi shook his head secretly in his heart. Sure enough, this is really a planet with a harsh environment and unsuitable for human habitation and survival.
If it weren't for the high-energy crystals and gases that the Hope desperately needs, Captain Leona wouldn't insist on landing on this planet, right?
"Everyone, report what you saw separately. Remember to turn on your body-worn video cameras and upload the images to the Hope in a timely manner."
After carefully observing his position for more than ten minutes, Galen quickly completed his preliminary reconnaissance mission.
There is currently no abnormality in his position. Whether it is his naked eye observation or the personal radar of Armor Power Fu, everything shows that everything is normal.
"Report to the captain! Everything is normal here on No. 02!"
"Report to the captain! Everything is normal here on No. 03!"
"It's normal here on No. 04!"
…
"Hello? Annie? How are you doing there? Did you find anything special?"
After all the team members under his command finished reporting, Galen began to ask about the ghost agent Little Annie who was hiding at the highest point.
Although this non-staff ghost agent is not actually under the control of him, the captain of the Marine Corps, he still needs to ask him now. After all, the opponent has the highest position and the equipment of the ghost agent suit is also the most advanced.
"It's not fun here at all...I only saw rocks and the sea...Huh? Just now, was that a fish?"
After complaining for a while, little Annie suddenly screamed.
Just now, with just her sharp eyes, she seemed to see something suddenly emerging from the sea at the edge of the sea in the distance, at the line of the sea level?
Then, it sank quickly again?
When she picked up the sniper rifle in her hand and prepared to measure the distance and see what happened, the opponent quickly disappeared completely on the sea?
"Fish? What fish? Is there really something going on here?! Did you just turn on the video equipment?"
Galen immediately became nervous when he heard little Annie suddenly say such unexpected words.
Wasn't this planet inspected and no life found?
Moreover, how could there be fish in the acidic ocean? Even if they are Marines wearing armored power combat uniforms, if they dare to run into the sea, the terrifying acid sea will corrode the armor and the crew inside in less than ten minutes. ?
"Just now, I seemed to see a fish in a very, very far place... As for the video equipment, it seems that it can't see that far, right?"
Little Annie was convinced that she had just seen something that looked like a big fish in the distance, on the edge of the sea level.
However, it only appeared once and disappeared quickly.
Annie felt that she must have seen it right just now! You know, with her own strong strength, whether it is magic or her physical qualities, she is very good!
Even if she doesn't use the Eagle Eye Technique, as long as she is willing to pay attention, she can see very far away with her keen perception or eyes.
"Okay... Hope, this is Cobra Team Captain Galen. We have successfully arrived at the landing site. After preliminary investigation, there is nothing abnormal around the landing site! Now, the command center can carry out airborne landing."
After hearing Little Annie's answer, Galen shook his head a little dumbfounded.
Since it was a place that couldn't be seen with video equipment, how could she see it with her naked eyes? Don't be kidding, that must be her illusion!
Therefore, Galen decided to ignore Little Annie's words, lift the alert, and at the same time sent a safe reply to the Hope in orbit, indicating that the huge colonial command center could now officially detach from the Hope and land. .
"Hope has been received. The command center has begun to formally disengage. It is expected to arrive at the designated location in thirty minutes. Please be prepared and maintain necessary vigilance."
Soon, a reply from the Hope navigator came through the communication device.
She also informed Captain Galen: The Colonial Command Center has now begun to officially separate from the Hope and is slowly entering the planet's atmosphere.
From now on, the humans of their Hope can finally say that their landing and collection operation on the JNO.3 planet has officially begun.
"Yes! Galen received it! Please rest assured aboard the Hope, we will continue to be on high alert and will ensure the safety of the command center!"
After speaking, Galen began to walk to a relatively open and flat high place. He held his electromagnetic rifle in hand, put away the mask armor plate, and only used the glass mask of the armored power combat suit to alert and observe everything around him.
The ten members of their Cobra team have now formed an encirclement at the commanding heights surrounding the command center's planned landing point. The intensive firepower can ensure the safety of the descending colonial command center at any time.
"Big Galen... I really didn't lie to you. Just now, I really saw a fish..."
Little Annie still persisted in using the scope of her sniper rifle and began to patrol the sea surface where she found abnormalities, hoping to find the thing she just saw again.
She swore that it was definitely a strange fish? It's definitely not a dazzle for her!
Moreover, her little bear Tibbers had just felt the presence of the monster, which was absolutely unmistakable.
"Okay, little Annie...we are on an important military mission right now. This is not a good time for joking."
Galen sighed and turned to look in the direction of the ocean. Where could there be any strange fish?
Everything works fine here!
Except for the sea breeze and the turbulent acidic waves, everything is normal. How can there be fish surviving here? Do not make jokes!
If you really throw a fish in, even a huge whale, it only takes a few minutes, and there won't even be much bone residue left?
"Annie, you have to know that no living thing can survive in this acidic ocean, so don't make trouble!"
After the last private conversation with Anne, Galen switched to the team's public channel.
He also needs to exchange information with his team members on the information they have discovered, and assign other people's duty to stand guard after the command center lands.
"Hmph! Why can't there be living things in the strong acid ocean? What's so strange about this? In my land of fire, there are still fire creatures living in the high-temperature lava pools! Just wait for me, later, After seeing it, I will definitely catch a fish and show it to you!"
After hearing the big guy Galen's reply, Anne snorted coldly and began to mutter dissatisfiedly.
Unfortunately, Captain Galen, who had already switched channels, would no longer care about her playful thoughts.
According to Galen, absolutely no living thing can survive in a strong acid ocean! Not to mention the lava pool she was talking about, and the fire creatures? How could such a creature exist? nonexistent!
Therefore, after little Annie complained, she could only continue to sit on her highest point and began to search the sea far and near, trying to continue to find the strange fish she had just seen.
…
Time passed very quickly. While Captain Galen was still arranging his Marines and deciding their respective guard time and positions, while little Annie was still persevering in searching for the situation on the sea surface, a message began to be heard in the sky. There were bursts of rumbling sounds.
The Hope's human colony command center finally arrived on time.
When their marines on the ground looked up at the sky: a huge steel fortress began to break through the clouds caused by the early friction with the planet's atmosphere. From the flaming clouds, they slowly appeared on the ground. within the field of vision.
That was their colonial command center, and now, it had finally broken through the planet's thick atmosphere and was preparing to land on the planned landing site.
"Captain Galen, what is the situation below the landing site now? Have you found anything unusual?"
Suddenly, the holographic image of First Officer Doug came through Galen's communication interface.
Oh, no, it should be the questions and images of the current ground commander of the colonial command center. Now Doug, she has opened a video call and asked the captain of the landing team face to face to make final preparations for the upcoming landing.
Now, the height of their command center from the ground is less than 10,000 meters. As long as Captain Galen is sure that everything below is normal, she will give the order to descend directly.
"Report to Commander Doug! The situation on the ground is now normal, the weather is good, and no abnormalities have been found for the time being. You can come down now."
After turning around again and looking around at the sea in the distance and the plain of strange rocks, Galen gave his final answer with certainty.
Now here, everything is fine!
This is the conclusion Galen came to after analyzing and summarizing the feedback from previous Marines: No abnormalities have been found on the ground of this planet for the time being!
Of course, except for the irresponsible nonsense of the little alien girl Annie!
"Okay, please continue to be alert, we will be coming down soon."
After finishing speaking, Commander Doug nodded with satisfaction, and then she quickly closed the holographic video communication between both parties.
Finally, the huge fortress-like round pancake-shaped metal fortress began to slowly rise from above the high school. Its engine ejected a huge stream of particles, slowly adjusted its direction, and gradually began to land.
"Oh, what a big discus..."
Looking at the huge steel command center that was gradually descending, little Annie couldn't help but sigh.
This is really a big guy. The size is almost as big as her palace in the City of Fire, right?
Little Annie feels that the humans in this world are really amazing! Although they don't seem to have magic or powerful martial arts, they use their wisdom and technology to do these amazing things!
Boom boom boom...
Soon, not long after little Annie sighed, the command center finally landed.
Then, after bursts of huge and ear-piercing roars, when the smoke and dust around the tall and big discus dispersed, she only saw the command center lowering its four octopus-like arms. General, and equally huge foundation pillars began to take root firmly on the earth of this planet.
When it opened the huge hatch and walked out of several T-280 SCV space engineering vehicles at once, the humans of the Hope began to work on the colonization, development and production of the planet they named JNO.3. It was finally announced that it was officially launched.
