Human Light Umbrella

Dozens of small boats with almost the same appearance and a length of about [-] meters are moored close to the ground in an airport that looks like a city.

Each terminal has ten bridges connecting these ships.

And above the forest on the north side of the airport, there are eight pioneer-type engineering ships with a length of more than 300 meters, and two engineering ships that are similar in appearance to the pioneer-type, but 100 meters longer than the pioneer-type.

These ten large ships kept a distance of less than a hundred meters from each other, lined up, and hovered in mid-air a hundred meters above the ground.

It was two laps larger than the Fishing Gull, but it was a civilian transport boat without any weapon pendants, which shuttled between the airport and ten large ships.

If you look at it from a distance, although you can feel that there are a large number of transport boats, they all have their own waterways, and they transport or unload passengers and cargo in an orderly manner.

The functions and responsibilities of the transport boat are similar to the shuttle bus at the airport.

For the animals living in the forest north of the airport, the sky is almost always covered by the sun, and the sun can only get sufficient light in the early morning and evening.

But for passengers who come to the airport for the first time, it is a rare spectacle.

The passengers couldn't help but took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and then marked the location and posted it on social networking sites.

However, many residents who live nearby have become accustomed to the behemoth parked here when they drive or take the maglev train passing by the airport.

This is especially true for those who have visited the airport many times.

Among them, Isaac and a group of Umbrella workers were included.

Among the ten engineering ships hovering above the forest in the north, eight pioneer models are leased by the company for "official organizations" to explore, mine and colonize the solar system.

The other two are Umbrella's own models, Pioneer 2 engineering ships equipped with warp engines.

Of course, in order to speed up human exploration and construction in the solar system, the Pioneer 1 leased to the "official organization" is also equipped with a leap engine.

Those ships that can berth in the airport do not have the ability to jump, they are just "ordinary" flights between the earth and the moon.

After all, on the front of the moon, the mining base jointly built by the multinational government that was in charge of the company and the predecessor of the "official organization" after the White Queen, after nearly ten years of development, is no longer as simple as a base, but a colony with a population of nearly 900 million.

You must know that the date when Umbrella announced the nuclear fusion technology and the Pioneer 1 engineering ship and other products was January 2003, 1.

It has been more than nine years since 2003, when the construction of the mining base was announced to the public. Today, July 2012, 7.

The original multinational governments began to promulgate many colonial policies in mid-2007, providing benefits and even bonuses to encourage people to relocate their families and participate in the construction of the colony.

At the same time, in order to cope with the colonial wave, various multiple birth policies were promulgated.

Although netizens are always teasing and posting jokes such as "I dare not have children" and "I can't afford to have children", the population growth is indeed significant.

As of the census at the beginning of 2012, the global population, including the total colonial population, is approximately 74 billion.

at this time.

The bus carrying Isaac and others left the expressway, entered the interior of the airport using the express lane, and finally arrived at the dedicated parking area of ​​Umbrella.

Isaac, sitting on the right side of the carriage, looked out through the single-sided window and saw a large number of employee buses belonging to Umbrella.

The bus stopped.

"Huh~!" A worker whistled, got up and took down the suitcase and said to everyone: "It's another beautiful working day, everyone cheer up!"

"Just for this sentence, after you are off duty today, you have to treat guests to drink." Another worker joked.

"I invite you to please, let's go!"

"Hahaha! Refreshing!"

A group of people were talking and laughing, and Isaac also took down the suitcase and walked out of the bus with his fellow workers.

Next, they left the berthing area with colleagues from other departments of the company, passed through the peripheral security check, and walked into the hall of area a of the airport.

just walked in...

"Passengers taking flight u076, please note that check-in for this flight will end at 10:10. Passengers who have not checked in for this flight should go to counter 27 as soon as possible. Thank you."

"Passengers attention..."

Isaac heard various reminders from the hall broadcast.

In addition to the broadcast reminder, the lobby of Area A was full of voices, and people of different identities and countries gathered here.

A man in a suit, after hearing the broadcast, ran towards counter 27 with a paper cup of coffee in his left hand and a brown briefcase in his right.

There is also a family of three who have completed the formalities and checked in their luggage, wearing floral shirts and shorts, walking through the crowd unhurriedly.

Apart from these civilians, what Isaac deserves to pay more attention to are the "soldiers" who cooperate with the security personnel at the entrance and exit to maintain order.

I saw three heavily armed soldiers standing at the security checkpoint, looking around the crowd expressionlessly.

The soldiers wore dark green combat uniforms, held A-series rifles, and wore titanium alloy armor to protect key parts, and there was a holographic display at the right eye of the helmet.

The first impression these three soldiers gave Isaac was that they were like the armed security guards of their company a few years ago.

But the badge that looks like the United Nations is engraved on the left shoulder armor, representing the identities of these three soldiers, not Umbrella's security, but the UNSC army.

Because the badge is also engraved with a string of letters, it is united nations spaand (United Nations Space Command), referred to as unsc.

The "official organization" that is now cooperating with Umbrella is the United Earth Government (UEG for short).

The predecessor of UEG is the United Nations, which is composed of the governments of all countries on the earth. UNSC, which is responsible for military affairs, accepts the jurisdiction of UEG.

The governments of various countries officially announced the establishment of UEG and UNSC at the United Nations General Assembly held on October 2008, 10.

Even though the governments of various countries have made many explicit and advance preparations and deployments before the conference, they still caused great changes in the world that year. Fortunately, the storm was quickly suppressed.

As an employee, Isaac knew that UEG and UNSC would soon be on the right track in all aspects, and Umbrella could not be separated from them.

In addition, four years have passed, and the vast majority of people around the world have gradually adapted to the life of UEG and UNSC.

Chapter 2 "We have completed the leap and successfully reached the orbit of the target planet"

But the real reason for the establishment of UEG and UNSC, even Isaac, who is not a low-level employee, has no way of knowing.

After all, Isaac is in the engineering department, and his wife, Nicole, is in the research department. She doesn't know anything about Umbrella's other departments.

The governments and armies of the predecessors of UEG and UNSC have long been completely infiltrated by the red and white queens and intelligence agencies.

The reason for its establishment is actually that Umbrella mobilizes all human beings more efficiently.

As for the three UNSC soldiers in front of Isaac, they were once members of the US National Guard.

The current UNSC has canceled the National Guard, as well as similar establishments of other countries' armies, and unified them into the Army, and then carried out various detailed divisions.

UNSC is roughly divided into the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force and Special Operations.

In fact, UEG and UNSC can also be regarded as Umbrella's "departments" in a sense.

However, the status of these two "departments" is at the bottom of the company, and they need to submit formal contracts and orders to Umbrella in order to obtain the corresponding cooperation and arms.

Moreover, all the arms obtained were products completely eliminated by Umbrella's armed forces.

That's why the three UNSC Army members, to Isaac, looked like the company's armed security from years ago.

Next.

Isaac and others walked through the hall and went straight to the counter area 1 to 10 dedicated to Umbrella employees, ready to check in and check in.

Even though there are ten exclusive counters, Isaac and his workers still need to line up. After all, a Pioneer 2 can accommodate more than 3000 people.

But the efficiency is not slow.

Within a few minutes, it was Isaac's turn to go through the formalities at counter No. 7.

He first put the suitcase with the trolley folded on the consignment belt, took out an employee ID card that was about the size of a bank card, and handed it to the check-in staff.

Through the employee card, the check-in staff quickly completed all the formalities, and handed the employee card back to Isaac, smiling:

"Mr. Clark, the seat 3f in cabin 12 is arranged for you. I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Thank you." Isaac, who took back his employee card, also responded with a smile, and then joined the workers who were waiting for him.

Without luggage, they left the counter area and used the escalator to reach the train platform built under the hall. After a short wait, a maglev rail train drove into the platform.

Immediately afterwards, the train carried them out of the lobby of Area A, passed through the entire airport, and came to the bottom of the terminal building located on the north side of the airport.

After leaving the train, the final security check was carried out before entering the terminal building.

And it is no longer the UNSC Army that is responsible for maintaining the security check order, but armed security guards equipped with fourth-generation mechanical skeletons and holding pulse guns.

The terminal building is no longer a public area, but Umbrella's exclusive area.

After completing the last security check, Isaac and the others chose a boarding gate with fewer people.

They passed the corridor bridge with floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, and came to a transport boat whose interior was similar to that of a passenger plane, and chose an empty seat to sit and wait.

Afterwards, the transport boat with a fixed schedule and the closed hatch disconnected from the corridor bridge took off and flew to one of the Pioneer 2 engineering ships according to the fixed channel.

...

More than three hours later, it was located on the upper layer of the Pioneer 2 hull, in the cabin 3 on the far right.

Each row here has six individual seats, and the distance between each row and each seat is wide enough to provide a comfortable space for employees.

The employees sitting on the f on the far right can still watch the scene outside the ship through the small portholes on the bulkhead.

Isaac's seat is No. 12 row f.

At this time, he had already woken up after a short while, turned his head and looked out the window, and what he saw was still the forest north of the airport.

Seeing this, Isaac couldn't help frowning.

"What's going on today?" The worker sitting next to him was also a little puzzled: "The company is never late, but today it was delayed for half an hour."

"Indeed, is there any abnormality?" The worker who wanted to have a drink nodded in agreement.

"Hey! Don't be crow-mouthed!" One person quickly reminded.

"Boom...Boom!"

However, just after finishing the reminder, the whole ship trembled violently, and even the lights in the cabin flickered.

!!!

Feeling this movement, everyone's heart rose to their throats.

After this change lasted for half a minute, the shaking of the hull gradually disappeared, and the lights stopped flickering.

"Everyone!"

At this moment, the stewardess and purser in charge of cabin 3 immediately used the radio to say to all the employees in the cabin:

"We have received a notice from the bridge. Just now it was a normal phenomenon when the main engine started unstable. At present, all hidden dangers have been eliminated. Please don't worry.

Another piece of good news is that the bridge will take us out of the airport within 2 minutes at most!

So for everyone's safety, please sit in your respective seats, and don't walk around if you fasten your seat belts. Thank you for your cooperation. "

"Scared me, I really thought it was my crow's mouth that attracted the abnormal phenomenon."

"Then you should talk less!"

"As compensation, the Empress Dowager will also be treated by you."

"No problem! Treating guests is a trivial matter!"

After hearing the purser's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the cabin became active again.

"Huh..." Even Isaac was panting heavily to relieve his emotions.

As the bridge promised, within 2 minutes, the scenery outside the porthole began to change.

The Pioneer 2 engineering ship they were on lifted off faster than usual, and it didn't take long for them to see the dark space outside the window and the earth that could not be seen in its entirety.

The stewardesses stopped serving drinks and snacks and returned to the seats at the rear of the cabin to fasten their seat belts.

Soon, the chief purser broadcast: "Ten seconds to jump, countdown...

ten,

nine,

...

two,

one! "

call out----!
