Today is the first day that humans exiled by the United Earth Government UPL officially land on planet JNO.3...
Captain Leona of the Hope is on the bridge of the space colony ship, constantly observing the planet's various landforms, mineral distribution, climate change, etc. through dozens of simple civilian and communication satellites launched. and other information.
So far, they have basically mastered all the landform information and surface mine distribution of the entire JNO.3 planet, whether it is the basic various metal minerals and rare minerals, or the more rare high-energy crystals and high-energy gases , they now have all the important information they need through satellites.
Of course, this information is only a mineral distribution map in the shallow layers of the planet. As for minerals that are deeper or distributed in strong acid oceans, they currently have no effective way to detect them.
This matter will have to wait for a period of time, after the production and debugging of the Hope military satellite is completed, before they can obtain deeper planetary information.
This kind of thing definitely cannot be done in a hurry, it needs to be done step by step.
However, the more and more comprehensive the information fed back by the satellite, the more Captain Leona frowned. She could not imagine why there was no alien force on a planet as rich in energy as this one. Discover and develop?
This phenomenon made her subconsciously feel that it was very abnormal!
Thinking again about the huge alien battleship wreckage that was calculated and detected floating in a distant orbit in this star field universe, Captain Leona felt that it seemed necessary for her to put this To clarify the context of this matter again?
They discovered that there was a planet here that was extremely rich in minerals...
Then, in the star field in the distance, there is an alien battleship that has been destroyed for an unknown number of years...
In addition, a strange little alien girl was captured by the humans on the Hope in the lifeboat she was on...
So, if all kinds of things are combined, where does the uneasiness in my heart come from?
Is it this planet? or……
"Shuguang, please re-summarize and analyze for me all the information about the little alien girl Annie."
After she called up the holographic picture of the landing site, Captain Leona looked at the command center that had taken root on the planet JNO.3 and began to officially start the construction of the base.
In addition to the dozen or so SCV space engineering vehicles that were busy initially collecting exposed high-energy crystals and building the first supply station, there were only ten marines who were on guard and the one who was noisy and wanted to The little alien girl who went down to play, the only ghost agent on the Hope: Annie.
According to the ground base construction schedule for the JNO.3 planet, within the scheduled ten standard Earth days, they need to build three supply stations, two barracks, a high-energy gas ore collection and processing plant, and a heavy-duty production plant. Equipped engineering station.
At that time, the Hope can dispatch more Marine recruits and various engineers, and gradually expand the entire base. While collecting various resources, they can also build and produce the various warships and ships they need. Weaponry.
Captain Leona is now a little suspicious under the inexplicable sense of crisis. This is human nature: suspicious and fickle!
Especially those in high positions of power, or herself who bears important responsibilities...
"As you command, Captain!"
As soon as Captain Leona finished speaking, a 3D holographic character and an information panel appeared in front of her. The character model of Hope's Brain Dawn recorded various information about Annie on the information panel.
"Anne Hastur, a Valoran, has a physique that is about ten times or more than that of a normal adult on Earth. Her physical coordination is very good; she also has some special powers, and her mental power is very high, and she is extremely Rare, the upper limit is temporarily undetectable; it is said that she can also freely travel through time and space, and has the ability to survive in space without protection; she has some kind of dimensional space power or equipment, can freely absorb many materials, and can also master multiple languages …”
"Stop! I know all this. You first evaluate her specific combat power."
The information just reported by Shuguang Intelligent Brain is basically the gift of the other party's life on the Hope. After their observation and summary of the information, Captain Leona already knows almost everything. Now, she needs to know It's something else.
"Reporting to Captain, if the ability rating of an ordinary Marine is one star, the ability rating of Anne Hastur Ghost Agent is temporarily five stars."
Intelligent Brain Dawn quickly gave its assessment of Little Annie's combat effectiveness, which was calculated after comparing the data it had collected so far.
"Five stars... is it so high? If it is an ordinary elite ghost agent, how many stars will it usually get?"
Captain Leona was stunned. She couldn't digest this information.
An ordinary Marine only has one star, but that little girl, she actually has five stars? ! Therefore, she needs to compare it first before she can roughly understand what this five-star is like?
"Captain, according to previous data from the United Earth Government, an elite federal ghost agent's individual combat ability rating in the database is generally three stars, and very few are four stars. However, they have There have been records of the highest level of psionic energy being level ten, but there are not many records of psionic energy in the database on the Hope."
After the report, Shuguang put away Little Annie's message list and waited for the captain's response.
"..."
Hearing this, Captain Leona frowned and didn't say much.
She just turned her head and looked at the holographic map information of the ground base on the other side. On it, in addition to the ten green life signals representing the Marines, there is also an orange signal. The opponent is on a commanding height not too far from the base, motionless.
"Dawn, can you detect Annie's level of psionic energy?"
After thinking about it, Captain Leona reached out and clicked a few times on the holographic map. The distance of the satellite's sight began to shrink rapidly. Then, she finally saw the man lying on the roof, wearing a red and white tight-fitting bodyguard. The little figure of A.
The other party has not turned on the stealth mode now. It is just lying on the top of the pile of rubble that has been corroded by strong acid for many years. It looks a bit weird and seems to be turning into glass.
"It's a pity, Captain! I can't even tell whether the other party's power is psionic energy? There is no special equipment to detect psionic energy on the Hope. After all, it is the top secret of the Federation! So, according to what we have so far, Information, I cannot provide you with Anne’s psionic level.”
The captain's words were a bit embarrassing for Dawn, so it made the female holographic image displayed by itself reluctantly imitate the human appearance and made a helpless shrug.
"..."
"How is this possible? What was she just...saying?!"
When Captain Leona was staring at little Annie lying motionless on the rubble, the other party suddenly turned around and revealed a big grimace from her transparent mask. Then, he raised his hand and waved to the sky, as if he said something else?
"Captain, the other party's mental power is extremely large and sensitive, so the other party must have just discovered the satellite's lock on her. The original words she just said were: Hello, please don't stare at me like this all day, I will I’m nervous!”
Although Annie Ghost's channel was not switched to the bridge of the Hope, Dawn Intelligence quickly used its authority to learn the content of what she just said from other channels and replayed it.
"How could she know that we are monitoring her now? This shouldn't be..."
Captain Leona still couldn't understand this incredible thing.
If you stand behind someone and stare at someone fiercely, maybe the other person will feel it? After all, there are still many unknowns in the study of human beings, even with extremely advanced technology.
However, now they are observing through satellites in the orbit of the planet... How can that little girl still sense it? Her performance is a bit too exaggerated, right?
"I'm sorry, Captain Leona! This already involves supernatural powers, mental power, and mysticism! These are areas that we humans are currently unable to study in depth. Based on the existing data and intelligence, I cannot for any valid analysis."
What Shuguang Zhinao said is also true. So far, humans on earth have been hesitant to research mysticism.
They only know and record various abilities, their performance and utilization value, but there is nothing they can do about deeper research.
As for nether energy, this is a type that they have studied more deeply, and it has always been kept secret like a treasure. There are not many related records in the database of the Hope.
Of course, the information on the Hope is not too comprehensive now. After all, they are just prisoners who were exiled more than a hundred years ago. These confidential things were definitely not given to them! Moreover, more than a hundred years have passed, and the Hope has no way of knowing what the specific situation is on the other side of the earth.
"Okay, then, Dawn, are you really sure that this little girl is harmless to our Hope?"
Captain Leona didn't know why, but she always felt that there seemed to be some kind of danger spying on their Hope and the humans on it.
However, she just couldn't figure out where the danger came from? Therefore, she unconsciously focused her attention on the little alien girl they rescued.
After all, this little girl can be said to be the only anomaly in the Hope, and she always attracts her attention unconsciously.
In her opinion, even if the other party has no ill intentions towards the Hope, is the coming danger related to her?
This time, the reason why she agreed with Doug to let the little alien girl land on the JNO.3 planet together was because she had a lucky idea to let the source of danger leave the Hope.
There is nothing they can do about it. After all, after contacting them in the past few days, they found that this little girl's fighting power seems to be a bit too strong... If the other party is allowed to continue to stay on the Hope, what if she appears? Some kind of uncontrollable situation is difficult to deal with.
However, now, after the little girl has left the Hope far away, Captain Leona still feels the underlying malice... It seems that the danger does not come from this alien little girl?
That's why she asked Shuguang Zhinao again.
"Captain, according to my analysis, Anne Hastur's current safety index for the Hope is three stars, which is currently the same as that of most citizens of the Hope."
This is the result of Shuguang Intelligent Brain's analysis of the little girl's words and deeds over several days.
It believes that although this little girl has a strong physique and strength, she does not have any hostile behavior beyond the standards of humans of the same age! Her every move is completely in line with the daily standards of a human little girl. Therefore, it is given a three-star safety rating.
You know, this level is already very high!
On the Hope, most human beings only meet this standard. Some thugs and criminals even only have one or two-star security levels, while military personnel with strict discipline and obedience to orders, or Captain Leona herself, are only four-star security levels in Dawn Intelligent Brain's database. It’s just a safety index.
"Okay, I hope I'm overthinking... Then, Shuguang, you continue to use those satellites to monitor the JNO.3 planet 24 hours a day! Now, I'm going to rest first. If I find If there is any abnormality, please notify me as soon as possible! This matter should be included as the first priority in the schedule! "
After being unable to figure out where her sense of danger came from, Leona could only sigh and shake her head and give up.
She planned to go back and rest for a while, hoping that sleep would free her from this unrealistic perception of danger?
Hopefully, all this is just her illusion, right?
Therefore, after she handed over the captain's acting authority to the second officer on duty, she turned around and left the bridge, and gave Zhi Nao Shuguang a first priority task.
"Okay, Captain! It's now on the top priority schedule."
When Captain Leona turned around and left her captain's position, the various holographic icons and map information originally displayed here finally began to disappear one by one.
Finally, the second officer on duty took the captain's seat and began to act as the captain of the Hope, coordinating the affairs of the Hope and monitoring the construction of the base on the planet JNO.3.
…
Two hours later, near the ground base of planet JNO.3.
"Wow! I was just lying down and taking a nap, but they have already built two huge supply stations? Are they all a group of diligent little bees?"
On the planet JNO.3, after little Annie took a nap, when she woke up again, the engineers called SCVs had actually built two, which accounted for nearly one-eighth of the command center. A large colonial supply depot.
Little Annie called up the data on her body and began to check the two newly established supply stations.
It is said that this supply station can store and produce all kinds of materials and tools needed for human daily operations. It also has some leisure and entertainment facilities and single suites for rest? And small and efficient ecological farms?
To put it bluntly, it is a place where you can eat, drink, live, and produce all kinds of human food. Therefore, it was built as soon as possible. After all, the engineers and marines working here always need to rest and Food, and if the ground base can produce it by itself, it is better than having it shipped from the Hope.
"Of course it's fast! That's because a lot of their assembly modules have already been manufactured on the Hope, so they can be assembled so quickly."
In the bored state of standing guard, when Galen heard little Annie's muttering on the channel, he smiled and started chatting with her.
It has been more than two hours since these people landed here.
Those SCV engineers worked hard enough to set up two supply stations in less than two hours. Then, except for leaving one engineering vehicle for final debugging, the rest , I guess we have to start building that huge barracks, right?
Galen just discovered that the two armored transport ships had made two trips up and down, transporting two batches of SCV engineering vehicles from the Hope.
"That's it. So, can we go into this supply station to rest? There should be my room inside, right? You know, I'm very tired now!"
After hearing that the thing would be repaired soon, little Annie started to complain.
She has been here for two full hours! Now, she wanted to go to a supply station to have a good time and see if there was anything interesting there?
"I'm afraid not! Little Annie, the place we are going to live in is a huge barracks that is being built. It will be able to accommodate about a thousand people when it arrives! And your room has probably not been built yet, so you should continue to be on guard. , according to their current speed, it will probably take a few hours."
Galen turned his head and looked at the barracks being built on the huge site. All its modules were originally produced on the Hope, using a lot of the Hope's inventory resources.
Now, SCV engineers only need to carry the modules back and forth and hurry up to assemble and splice them together. Then, they will start to collect energy on a large scale and produce and construct other buildings. By then, the pruning speed will probably slow down?
By then, a large number of new recruits and more engineers on the Hope will have been recruited and parachuted down?
Galen felt that after the barracks was set up, the first group of Marines to come down should be able to go to the barracks to repair and rest. This was all originally planned.
So, now, it's better for everything to go according to the original plan. The idea of little Annie going to rest may be a bit difficult to deal with.
"How many more hours are there? But...what should I do if I feel like sleeping now? I also want to eat something and take a bath...and what if I need to urinate urgently and want to pee?" "
Little Annie was extremely bored and began to ramble on the Marine Corps' public channel again.
"By the way, I've always wanted to ask: You are wearing thick armor that is so troublesome. What should you do if you want to poop? Has anyone brought tissue paper?"
Little Annie suddenly thought of a very interesting question. In fact, she had wanted to ask it for a long time.
The Marines wear such thick armor that they need mechanical assistance to put on and take off the armor. So, what should you do if you want to pee or have diarrhea?
Do they want to put it directly inside the power armor suit? But in that case, wouldn't it be dirty? It stinks so much that I feel so sick just thinking about it...
Moreover, inside the armor, will there be a short circuit or something? You know, there is electricity inside... Wouldn't it be fun if they were electrocuted by their own armor when they pooped out?
I feel so excited when I think about it... Do you want to try putting some laxatives in their food?
"..."
"..."
Originally, the other Marines were still chatting in the public channel, but when they heard this, they suddenly lost their voices?
"Well, I have a lot of drinks in my space pocket. Do you want some?"
Little Annie's idea is: give them a little more water, and then see what they should do if they get anxious.
"..."
Unfortunately, no one from the Marines paid attention to her for the time being.
"Eh? I also have roasted velociraptor legs with sansho pepper and live velociraptor eggs! Who of you can cook them? I brought these from the world of Azeroth. I swear, you must have never eaten them! "
"..."
Also Velociraptor, what a liar!
The Marines of the Cobra Team listened to little Annie's nonsensical words and kept cursing in their hearts.
"Ah! I feel like sleeping again... You've been standing guard for so long, don't you really want to go pee?"
Not knowing what she was thinking, little Annie started talking nonsense without any regard for discipline.
It's okay that she didn't talk about peeing. When she talked about it, many marines felt that their bladders were a little bloated, and then they unconsciously contracted their lower abdomens. It seemed that... they all wanted to relax?
But the problem is: the barracks have not been built yet, and they cannot easily take off their armor without the help of the equipment area machinery inside!
If you are really anxious, I'm afraid you can only solve it in the armor?
What a terrible experience! Especially...when you have diarrhea after eating the wrong thing?
"If you have an urgent need to urinate, just hold it in! If you feel sleepy, just lie down on the floor and sleep. Anyway, you slept for a long time just now. No one will tell you if you sleep a little longer!"
Galen felt that he had really gone crazy just now! Going to talk to a little kid? Now, look, have you made trouble for yourself?
Forget it, Captain Galen decided immediately: It’s better not to worry about this little Annie and let her be!
Anyway, they only need to hold on for another three hours. After Darius's Viper team and the new recruits come down to change shifts, they can take a good rest.
When the time comes, it’s time to eat, sleep, and poop!
"Hey! Little Annie, tell me, do you have a velociraptor egg? Are they real or fake? How big are they? Can they be eaten?"
After a while, a female Marine finally couldn't help but ask.
She understood the terms velociraptor and velociraptor egg, but she really didn't believe that this little girl could come up with something that had been extinct on the earth for countless years?
Therefore, she was just teasing the little girl she loved and hated in a joking tone.
"Of course you can eat it. This is a living raptor egg! I saw this when I and a bearded dwarf were adventuring on the continent south of Azeroth. At that time, I took away several hundred There are them! Each one is as big as your head! I still remember that at that time, a large group of velociraptors chased the two of us desperately for a long time, which was so fun! "
As soon as she mentioned this matter, little Annie immediately started chattering.
At that time, she felt that the northern continent was too cold and not much fun, so she left the City of Fire alone and went directly to a place in the south called Stranglethorn Valley.
Then, she met a bearded dwarf who was almost caught by a troll. After she rescued him, she ignored the other person's dissuasion and forcibly took away all the velociraptor eggs she saw.
"Really? It sounds like it's true. Could it be that you made it up?"
At this time, another female Marine also intervened and began to question curiously.
She listened to what little Annie said so clearly, as if such a thing was really happening? She almost believed it!
But she also knew that this was probably just a random fabrication by the little girl. How could there be any planet Azeroth in the universe? It’s even less likely that there are raptor eggs or anything like that. I guess it’s just a little girl’s fantasy?
"I lied to you, I'm a puppy! Just wait, after the barracks is built, I will give it to you two each... No! Forget it, two are too many, um... just one!"
Originally, Anne wanted to send two as gifts, but think about it, there are ten of them...
If you give two to each person, that would be a full twenty... that's a bit too much!
Every time you take away one of these things, there will be one less, so she decided that it would be better to save a little bit, and she must let them exchange for something delicious!
(Master Annie! There is a situation. To the northwest, on the beach, something seems to be crawling out of the sea! - While little Annie was chatting with other team members, her bioradar bear Tibbs first discovered the anomaly. , and then quickly reminded little Annie.)
"Eh? Is there a situation? This is great! Everyone, please pay attention, there is a situation!"
Little Annie is never afraid of looking for trouble, she is just afraid of being bored!
So, after hearing the reminder from her little bear Tibbers, her eyes lit up and she immediately became energetic! It's so pitiful, now, finally, something fun is going to happen?
Click!
Annie quickly loaded her own 20 mm caliber, Fire Goddess I SS-01, a specially made super-powerful electromagnetic sniper rifle, and unlocked the safety at the same time. Then she stepped forward directly and aimed at Tibbers. The direction just mentioned.
"Is there something happening? Is it true or false? Little Annie, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense when you're on a mission..."
Galen was stunned for a moment after hearing what little Annie said.
Then, he quickly checked his radar equipment. Fortunately, it showed that everything was normal! It seems that this is little Annie causing trouble again?
Just when he wanted to teach him a lesson...
Bang! ! !
Before Galen finished speaking, the sound of a large-caliber gun being fired rang out.
Galen knew that it was the sound of Little Annie's sniper cannon. She didn't turn on the silencer at all just now, so the sound was so loud!
"Aha! I hit it on the head!"
Annie's shot just now accurately hit the head of the ferocious monster in the scope, and its brain instantly exploded into a puddle of red and green flesh.
Originally, if the formal process was followed: after discovering an alien creature, initial contact would be made to determine whether the other party was intelligent, and only when the other party was strongly hostile could the other party be shot and killed.
But little Annie doesn’t care about that much!
Besides, her Tibbers had already said that the other party had strong hostility, crawled out of the sea secretly, and looked so ugly, so he must have bad intentions! So, little Annie was so disgusted that she just shot him!
Who made it look so ugly? If you don’t hit it, who will you hit?
"Don't grab it, it's my prey!"
After saying that, little Annie jumped up from the pile of rocks.
Then, she quickly shouldered her weapon with an exaggerated caliber and started running at high speed from the top to the beach in the distance.
Her vigorous red and white figure moved quickly between the rugged rocks. The speed was even several points faster than when she was in the simulated confrontation!
She had to hurry over and drag the monster to the base, so that the big guy Galen would complain about her being dazzled and making trouble all day long!
This thing should be the strange fish she saw just now.
"Damn it! Is there really a situation?"
Galen looked in the direction where Little Annie shot, and sure enough, on the beach, there was really a monster with red and green blood on its neck lying down?
"Everyone on standby! Base command center? I'm Galen! We just discovered an alien creature, yes! That's right! Little Annie just shot and killed the opponent. Please make the necessary preparations. I am now, Just go over and take a look at the situation!”
Galen, who was closest to the beach, saw clearly the alien monster that Annie shot to death. He only had time to say something to all the team members and the command center on the channel, and then he quickly gave his The electromagnetic rifle was loaded again and he started running towards the beach.
Now, that careless little Annie is about to run over there, so he must go over and take care of her for a while. Who knows if there are other such monsters in the sea?
This time it was really fatal!
It seems that this planet is not as simple as he imagined. If he thinks about Little Annie's warning before, it seems... what she said has always been the truth? Is she really not causing trouble? Is this planet in danger?
