"Thirty days ago, we received a request for help from the Akuz planet colony in a certain galaxy not far from us, saying that there was a missing person case." The captain of the frigate, who had arrived in the airspace of the Akuz planet, spoke loudly in the conference room. An aerial view of the Akuz colony was displayed on the projector and introduced.
"Under normal circumstances, we prefer to deal with pirate invasions, but after receiving the call for help, we quickly organized a three-person dispatch team to take a shuttle to investigate."
"Unfortunately, the three-person team and the driver have not given any feedback until now. Their signals have all disappeared since a week ago. They are now judged to be "mia"."
The captain looked at all the recruited members, "The signal showed that they lost contact the night they arrived at their destination.
The frightening thing is that no information has ever been fed back. They probably lost contact before they even had time to send information. At this moment, it became a black hole.
Whatever was there in Akuz, it led to the disappearance of thousands of Akuz colony residents and three Star Alliance servicemen. "
"The Fleet Command has decided to dispatch elite soldiers to form a temporary expedition investigation team. We have received the order and are now preparing to execute it.
Since there are no spacecrafts or even traces in the entire airspace, which rules out the possibility of pirate attacks, we can only investigate from the ground.
As soldiers, you are all elites. Now put on your equipment and take the shuttle to the designated location to check the situation. Are there any questions? "
"No!" all the Marines shouted.
"Okay, get ready to land." The captain waved his hand.
"aye."
…
"You are Sergeant Yuan Xie who was recommended by Lieutenant Kaiden! I've heard a lot about you." Sitting on one of the four shuttles, Xie Yuan met the commander this time, Captain Alec Ryder. .
"Hello, sir," Xie Yuan immediately saluted Lieutenant Colonel Ryder, then put down his hand and laughed at himself, "Yes, I have encountered some mistakes recently. I am glad that you can give me the opportunity to continue my mission."
"I'm glad to meet a capable Marine like you. Lieutenant Alanco said that you have high combat effectiveness and are very vigilant." Captain Ryder is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a very tough character. With a beautiful face and a slight beard, "I think this exploration requires people with higher vigilance."
"Thank you, sir." Xie Yuan bowed his head and accepted the praise.
"Then what do you think of this collective loss of contact?" Lieutenant Colonel Ryder seemed to intend to test Xie Yuan, or did he just want to show his humility in accepting advice?
So Xie Yuan could only express a very "soldier" answer: "I don't know how to say it. I just feel it is very dangerous, but I will follow the order seriously."
"Gunnery Sergeant Xie Yuan, I need a serious answer. I don't want to hear perfunctory answers. I'm not someone who cares about the commander's authority." Captain Ryder criticized Xie Yuan seriously.
"Yes, sir, if there are no signs of space pirates here." Xie Yuanlue thought about it and gave his opinion, "Then we have to consider whether it is the invasion of alien species."
"Invasion of alien species?" Ryder's eyes lit up after hearing this. "This is an interesting but scary argument, but it is also reasonable. After all, our supply ship may have carried some original products that do not belong here. If Substances that may not be problematic become problematic due to mutations caused by external factors.”
Then he immediately patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder and encouraged: "Your opinion coincides with the opinion of the staff. Although they think there are more possibilities than you listed, it is already very good and worthy of it." This is the person Kaiden strongly selected.
Those who participated in the Skylian Raid and survived really have extraordinary vision..."
"What? Kaiden participated in the Skillian Raid? Why has no one heard of it?" Xie Yuan was stunned. This kid was so hidden that he didn't even tell him. He wanted to interrogate him properly when he went back.
After looking around to make sure no one noticed them, Captain Ryder explained the reason: "As a newcomer, Second Lieutenant Kaiden did not publicize it in order to protect his safety, but his achievements are known to the higher ups."
"Oh." Xie Yuan nodded clearly, complaining in his mind that he just didn't have anything to do with him. Why not publicize it? If he didn't publicize it, why would he focus on promoting Jenny Shepard?
It’s also said that “the higher ups know it”, that’s right!
But Xie Yuan knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so he didn't say too much to Captain Ryder, whom he had just met. After all, "the higher ups know" also has another meaning: I will promote you when I get the chance next time. .
As long as he can get into the eyes of the big guys, hiding under the snow is not a bad thing for Caiden, so just treat it as a great responsibility given to him by heaven.
In any case, they are better than non-commissioned officers like me who don't care about their father and mother.
After finishing the conversation with his commander, Xie Yuan leaned into a corner. He was going to review his weapons and equipment, although he was just repairing and dressing his old armor.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough money, so he can only save money.
Equipping with advanced weapons and equipment has always been the dream of every Marine, and Xie Yuan is no exception. One of the reasons why I want to be an officer is because the salary of an officer is not only high, but the initial armor issued is also good.
Among Star Alliance's standard armors, the best is the N7 series full body armor. At least there is nothing better than it on the market except for the advanced customized upgraded version.
However, the officer's dream was shattered. He estimated that he would never have the opportunity to wear N-series equipment in the future, so he could only continue to repair the armor he received after graduating from the boot camp.
As for why not change? This is the cunning part of Star Alliance armory management. It’s not that the Marines have to change. It’s just that in addition to the first set of weapons, the first set of armor and the first multi-purpose tool issued above, if you want to upgrade Good armor... you have to spend credits to buy it!
A set of Level 2 armor costs tens of thousands of credits, and with the upgrade of the gun, he can't even hope to keep his salary for several months. And after buying Level 2, he has to think about Level 3, Level 4 or even Level 10!
Originally, after saving part of his salary, he almost didn't have enough to eat, and now he is asked to spend all of it to buy equipment?
Capitalists really like temptation and exploitation, but he just says no! He would rather put himself in danger than buy it.
Originally, he thought he could choose a relatively high-end armor set and weapons from the seizures against pirates.
But his veteran comrades told him a heartbreaking fact: the basic weapons and equipment of the major forces all have very sophisticated identification systems.
You can choose captured weapons or equipment, but when you wear these captured weapons, your companions' friend-or-foe identification system will only identify you as the enemy.
So what's the use of a good seizure? So they all sold the captured armor as scrap to the armory. After all, even the armory wouldn't even want to take it if they didn't want to give soldiers a chance to make extra money!
These seizures, regarded as "waste", can only be reduced to raw materials (melted into a semi-molten "universal gel" for quick use).
However, Xie Yuan did not lose it. These equipments are all parts that can be taken off and folded, so Xie Yuan likes to collect these equipment secretly.
So far, he has collected two sets of matching level 4 medium armor and a set of light armor, and as weapons, he has collected a level 4 mass accelerator assault rifle and a pistol.
The difference between light armor and medium armor is that while giving you better basic protection, it will also affect your weapon aiming level and movement agility.
Xie Yuan is an assaulter, and his profession is a warrior in the Star Alliance military service. Because he does not have any implants or superpowers, he has not been trained in professional skills related to sniper rifles and superpowers. However, he is a warrior. He has received medium armor adaptation training, so he can wear medium armor.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Like Kaiden, he can only wear light armor, but his supernatural skills can provide him with certain protection.
The only thing that Xie Yuan was willing to spend a lot of money to buy was a multi-purpose tool.
Because this thing can be used for projection in other worlds containing technological planes, it is a must.
He even bought some whiteboard multi-tool injection devices to keep in the space.
The engineering multi-purpose tools of the past have been upgraded to military multi-purpose tools.
Military-grade electronic warfare modules have a computing speed that cannot be surpassed by any computing system after the 21st century and before the 23rd century. There is no encryption lock that cannot be cracked.
Professional-grade medical scanning modules and mining geological scanning modules produce clearer and faster scan results than in the past.
The computing speed is faster than previous civilian applications, and there are more redundant systems that can be loaded with new functions.
And now he has been authorized to load melee weapons on the omni tool. For this reason, he carefully selected the most common melee weapon to load, which is the "omni blade".
This is a disposable silicon carbide spur made by the small object maker on the omni. It has the same hardness as diamond. The spur itself emits orange light for easy identification by the wearer.
In addition to causing physical damage to the opponent, the scorching blade may even ignite the opponent. Coupled with the acceleration of his fist, the target can be used as a rubber bullet to inflict light damage to the dense enemy.
"Everyone, please pay attention!" Captain Ryder's voice suddenly sounded from the radio. This was a public channel announcement, "We have reached the atmosphere of the planet Akuz! Get ready."
Everyone immediately took it seriously, including Xie Yuan, who immediately stood up, put on his helmet, and picked up the assault rifle.
"Prepare to land, be alert!"
