After the meeting of the Earth Defense League, under the escort of the Star Ring soldiers, Jiang Chen and Kerwin left the alliance headquarters and boarded the MRT to the Aerospace Department.
How is the situation in the Martian colony?Sitting in the seat in the special cabin, Jiang Chen asked Kerwin.
Origin has been departing for six days, and will reach the Mars synchronous orbit at this time at the latest tomorrow. Our new weapons and reinforcements will also arrive at Mars, which should help us gain certain advantages.Kelwin replied.
On the way to the Kuiper Belt, Origin will use the gravity of Mars to adjust its course and test the synchronous orbit docking performance of Origin.
Based on the principle of going along the way, Star Ring Trade hangs the weapons and equipment designed by the Future Army that are suitable for the Martian environment in the external warehouse on the belly of Origin, and is ready to throw it down when it enters the Martian synchronous orbit.
What about the specimen?Jiang Chen continued to ask, how long will it take to send it back to Xinghuan City?
The first batch of specimens were loaded on the rockets last week and will arrive the day after tomorrow... Should we notify our allies?Kerrwin asked.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen spoke.
This will be discussed after the specimen is delivered, so keep it confidential for the time being.I will draw some researchers from the Future Human Bio to form a Corroders Research Project Team, and then discuss whether to make the news public to our allies.
Kerwin nodded: OK, then I will continue as you told me.
The MRT arrived soon.
After a steady stop at the gate of the aerospace department, the two went to the 071 project department of the aerospace command center together.
Coincidentally, as soon as the two of them crossed the threshold of the command room, Kelwin's assistant delivered a document to him.
Scan the document twice and saw his brows slightly frowning.
After a moment, Kelwin put away the documents, looked at Jiang Chen, and smiled tiredly. There is a bad news, a bad news, which one do you plan to listen to first?
… Let’s start with the bad news.
The bad news is that our Martian colonies are besieged by swarms.Kelwin said.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Chen's eyebrows jumped down fiercely.
...What about the good news?
A smile appeared on Kerwin's face. The good news was that our colonial governor had prepared the wall. With the support of the Expedition, our army blocked the attack of the insect tide without any danger.
After slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Chen looked at the holographic screen in front of the command room.
On the satellite image sent from the Expedition, the sand outside the colony had been soaked in unhealthy dark green by the blood and saliva of the corroded people, and the broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
However, the soldiers standing on the wall were not optimistic, and many of them were damaged by the acid of the corroded person.
The insects rushed to the wall for a time and collided with the Star Ring Marines on the wall in close contact.
Fortunately, the melee ability of these corroders is not on the same level as that of the Devil Worms. Although this battle is dangerous, the Star Ring Trade finally won with the support of the fortifications and the Expedition.
Looking at the casualty assessment on the screen, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke.
Don't you find it strange?
After hesitating for a moment, Kerrwin asked.
You mean...
Whenever we make progress at the 071 mine, trouble is like running over by ourselves with feet.Looking at Kelvin, Jiang Chen continued, as if there were eyes looking at us.
Looking at us?Kerwin was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What do you mean, the troubles we encounter are artificially controlled?"
Jiang Chen did not answer, but just hugged his arms in front of his chest, looked at the holographic screen in front of the command room, and fell into deep thought.
He suddenly realized a possibility...
But he was unable to believe it yet.
Only when he returns to the end of the world next time can he verify whether his guess is correct.
……
Outside the Mars colony, rolling dust rolled up a thousand meters above the sky, and a wall of fog covering the sky and the sun spread outside the colony.
Just five minutes ago, dozens of mass bombs fell from the sky, directly leveling the sand dune outside the colony, and printing craters more than ten meters wide on the desert.
Three high-explosive ground bombs collapsed the tunnel five kilometers below, blocking the momentum of the corrosivers' offensive.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Marines who fought on the wall successfully repelled the corrosives who rushed up the wall.
Standing next to the cover of the wall and looking at the swarms that began to retreat, Zhang Hai slowly breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the rifle in his hand.
Soldiers retreated from the wall, and medical soldiers walked around the wall, and researchers in protective suits left the wall to recover specimens under the escort of the rover.
If casualties and wasteful ammunition are not considered, in a sense, this wave of insect tide is simply a great harvest.
For at least one year, they will no longer have to worry about the sampling lists issued by the Space Command Center.
Reporting the team's casualties to the superiors, Zhang Hai followed the others and walked towards the colonial cabin.
Returning to the colonial cabin, Zhang Hai, who passed through the buffer cabin, stuffed the equipment into the storage cabinet, took a can of coffee from the vending machine, and walked to the bench in the central square to sit down.
It was already past lunch time, but he was not hungry at all at this moment.
He raised his head and drank warm coffee. Zhang Hai leaned against the bench with his eyes closed, relaxing his tense nerves a little.
At this time, someone walked to him and sat down.
Zhang Hai raised one eyelid and saw that the person sitting next to him was Wang Qiang, so he closed his eyelids again.
it's over?Wang Qiang asked casually after opening the canned drink in his hand.
It's temporarily over.Zhang Hai pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Wang Qiang sitting next to him. Who knows when the next wave will be, and who knows when these things will be... By the way, how are your progress?
You have also seen that the operation base next to the 071 mine site has been lost. What else can be made?Wang Qiang shook his head with a wry smile, not to mention this.By the way, what about your guy...Konig?How is he doing now?
The wound was seriously infected and the entire right arm was gone... Perhaps only Koro City Hospital can cure his injury, but you know, you can't go anywhere now.We will temporarily arrange for him to enter the dormant warehouse and lie down, and wait until the flight is opened next year before sending him back for treatment.
At this moment, a soldier came over and stood in front of Zhang Hai and saluted.
Is it Captain Zhang Hai?
What's wrong?Looking at the soldier standing in front of him, Zhang Hai put the canned coffee on the bench.
The captain has something to come to you, please go to the research institute as soon as possible.
He was slightly stunned. Only then did Zhang Hai notice that when he was still equipped, he forgot to take out his wrist-loaded computer from the locker.
The captain probably couldn't contact anyone by phone, so he sent someone to find him.
I'll go there right away.Picking up the coffee cans placed on the bench, Zhang Hai said to the soldier.
Squatting behind the potted plants in the square, Jenny held her breath nervously, not daring to breathe.
She had no intention of eavesdropping, but happened to pass by here.
However, after seeing the two people sitting on the bench, somehow, she squatted down as soon as she felt hot, hid behind the potted plant, and then heard something that seemed amazing.
On the other side of the bench, a soldier walked over and said something to one of them.
Then the two sitting on the bench got up together and walked away from the square.
After waiting for a while, she trembled and poked her head out from behind the potted plant and looked at the empty bench.
Slowly leaning behind the potted plant, Jenny pressed her undulating chest and breathed a long sigh.
071 Mining point?Action base?progress?
Her experience in journalism not only developed the habit of stretching her nose everywhere, but also made her develop special intuition in some aspects.
For example, now, my intuition tells her that the 071 mine site is definitely not just iron ore ore.
Who would build a military base specifically to protect a mine?
I have to find a way to pass the message back...
Can't tell Brace that that coward will definitely stop me!
Thinking in her heart, she got up from the floor behind the potted plant.
After patting her jeans, she looked around and found that there was no one, so she pretended that nothing had happened and quickly walked back to her room.
