Floating from the depths of the darkness, the huge giant ship approached the orange-red planet.
The three big characters Expedition are engraved on the ship and merged with the painted black steel armor. They are like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness, emitting a cold light in the starry sky.
The bowl-shaped engine emitted a red light and then took a sudden break.
Under the action of inertia, the Seagull-class transport ship slowly stopped in the synchronous orbit of Mars.
The main engine is turned off.
Secondary engine ignition.
The track parameters have been corrected.
The feedback beam confirms that the center of gravity is normal, and confirms that it enters the synchronous track.
The secondary engine is turned off.
After a series of sounds, the serious and tense atmosphere in the entire bridge suddenly relaxed.
The man in military uniform walked to the captain and saluted.
Captain, we have arrived over the colony!Wait for your instructions!
The majestic man stood inside the bridge, looking at the fiery red planet outside the window.
Release the dormant compartment freezing.
yes!
Outside the bridge, inside the transport compartment.
The cold light strips in the corner of the wall illuminate one after another, illuminating the entire long space.
The refrigeration cabins lined by the walls lit up a faint blue arc, spraying mist from the gap between the cabin and the cabin door, making a squeaking sound.
The dormant cabin was opened one after another, and the members who were released from the dormant state opened their eyes, pushed open the half-covered hatch door and stepped out, and rushed to the combat position in an orderly manner, just like they had been trained countless times during the exercise.
The crew members in blue work clothes rushed to the functional compartment of artillery positions, observation positions, power rooms and other functional compartments. Marine soldiers in off-white uniforms rushed into the equipment library and replaced them with aviation exoskeletons and Gauss rifles, and lined up at the buffer hatch door.
Inside the bridge.
The officer returned to the captain and saluted.
The sleeping compartment has been awakened.
Connect to the Colonial Channel.
yes!
The holographic screen appeared in the middle of the bridge. After a string of snowflakes flashed through, the screen quickly stabilized.
Looking at the man on the screen, a smile appeared on the captain's resolute and steady face.
On the other side, standing in the colony's command room and looking at the friend on the screen who ended the captain's training one later than him, Hong Zewei sighed with emotion.
Clearing his throat, he welcomed the reinforcements on behalf of the colony with a calm voice.
This is a Mars colony, and the Expedition is welcome to enter the port.
This is the Expedition, and the first tier Marines are airborne. Thank you for your hard work.
……
Looking up at the sky above the colony, the shock and joy in Zhang Hai's eyes gradually magnified.
The platform-shaped airdrop cabins dragged the dark blue arc and drew clearer trajectories from the air, and finally hit the desert near the colony.
The dust soared into the sky, and the red sand in the sky instantly rushed towards the sand dunes dozens of meters away.
The hatch door that fits on all sides of the airdrop cabin opened and fell heavily to the ground.
New semi-tracked footy fighting vehicles drove out of the hatch door, and rolling dust was blowing from behind.
This new half-track infantry chariot is called Pathfinder T-2. Compared with the Pathfinder T-1 that was equipped with the colonial advance Marines, it has increased the vehicle tonnage and replaced the rubber wheel with a half-track design. At the same time, the gun barrel on the top of the infantry chariot was also changed to a rapid-fire cannon that fires electromagnetic projectiles.
This improvement is mainly to deal with the possible emergence of extraterrestrial civilized armored units at the 071 mine site.
But I didn't expect that under the 071 mine, there was only a weathered ruin, without even the shadow of a living person.
However, the incident took a new turn, and the devil insect that suddenly emerged from the underground caught Star Ring Trade off guard.
So these more than 100 Pathfinder T-2s were once again used and were used in combat to wipe out devil insects, providing armor protection for fragile soft targets.
The movement outside the Martian colony obviously attracted the attention of the devil bugs wandering nearby.
Feeling the tremor from the surface, the devil worms emerged from the oxygen supply layer one after another, like dragons wandering underground, accelerated toward the direction of the earthquake source, and suddenly drilled out of the surface and bit towards these new neighbors whom they had never seen before.
Squeak!
The low roar was like a cry of pain, and the two pairs of sickles cut on the solid steel, leaving only a crack wide from the thumb.
The rapid-fire cannon barrel with a bowl mouth suddenly flashed with a dazzling white light. The projectile accelerated to N times the speed of sound torn apart the devil's horny armor in an instant, and knocked the devil's worm out of the surface into a sieve.
These insects rushed out of the surface one after another like earthworms drilling through the ground and bit towards the infantry chariot of the Star Ring Marine Corps.
However, they were mentally retarded and did not quickly realize how stupid their behavior was.
The sickle that can tear the granite and hit the solid A-shaped steel cannot break through the defense of the Star Ring Trade Infantry Warriors. At most, it can only cause certain interference to the formation of the Star Ring Marine Corps.
However, when the individual who realized this began to retreat and tried to pierce the head that had been poked out of the surface back into the sand, it was too late.
Standing on the colonial ship, the captain who had finished communicating with the colony, his eyes were locked on the red dots on the satellite map.
Life detection device.
The maximum sensing depth for underground creatures is only five kilometers, but for devil insects that have already risen by the movements on the surface, this range is enough.
When the armored units of the Star Ring Marines completed their assembly, he immediately ordered in a deep voice.
Five kilometers deep, launching ground-based bombs!
yes!
With the order issued, the crew members in the bridge immediately became busy.
Support weapons are reloaded!
The coordinate lock is complete!
emission!
A long strip of object separated from the Expedition on the synchronous track. After falling down for a distance, the silent engine at the tail suddenly flashed an orange-red flame.
Under the dual action of gravity and engine, the missile began to accelerate, spanning 17,031 kilometers and hitting the deserted sand dunes.
The dust drifted, and the dunes were terrible, just like inside a silent bridge...
On the holographic screen in the center of the bridge, the red dot that touches everyone's sight is rapidly descending its altitude.
When the altitude value jumped to minus five kilometers, the gunner sitting in front of the console spoke calmly.
Confirm hit!
Almost as soon as the words fell, the orange-red fire light was like rolling magma, swallowing the rock channel five kilometers below, the hollow layer, along with the devil insect lurking in it, into the sea of fire.
The high temperature of thousands of degrees even ignited the air, and even the metamorphic rock could not withstand the terrifying temperature. It was directly liquefied into magma, and needle-shaped stalagmites were winding down from the dome of the hollow formation.
No creature can survive such purgatory.
Even a species that spans 3.7 billion years will eventually be defeated in the face of the powerful tools of civilized people.
The high-heat flames quickly dissipated.
A string of red dots on the screen that mark the source of life also went out.
An officer walked to the captain, stood attentively and said neatly.
There are 27 devil insects in total, confirm the killing!
Listening to the adjutant's report, the captain nodded, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes looking at the red planet.
Devil bug?
Alien species?
In front of the iron hoof of the Star Ring Trade.
But that's it!
