Brilliant Time [Interstellar]

The environment of the ancient earth has been greatly improved compared with that of the past, the air is fresh and sunny, and most of the land area has been covered by green vegetation, burying all the traces of the heavy pollution of modern industry, only occasionally revealing a corner of the broken wall , revealing the urban atmosphere that human beings once lived in.

In the thousands of years without human interference, animals and plants grew and reproduced freely on the ancient earth. Everywhere you look, there is a vibrant scene. Many biology textbooks think that the creatures that are extinct can also be found. Of course, more There are many species that Angelo can't name at all.

The employer's source is obviously more accurate than what he said. Not only do they have the approximate range of the target's activities, but even in the imaging contrast of the infrasonic wave detection, the person in charge can recognize the object that needs to be captured by the mercenaries at a glance.

The mission of the mercenaries went much smoother than expected.With the help of various modern auxiliary technologies and equipped with various high-tech weapons, even encountering ferocious birds and beasts such as tigers and wolves is not a threat. Even humpback whales with extremely large bodies are only slightly It's just a little troublesome.

It didn't take too much time to set up the target, and the effect of the bait was far beyond imagination.

The employer used the carcasses of dead animals that failed in the modification agent experiment as bait, and surprisingly easily lured the target into the encirclement.After paying the price of damaging three mechas, he finally succeeded in trapping it in a special cage.

As if knowing that there was no hope of escape, it fell silent.

It was a sea creature that An Qiluo had never seen before. It looked like a fish but not a fish. Its body was smooth, its body was slender and its muscles were tight, its scales were fine and gorgeous, and its tail alone was more than two meters long.

It stands upright like a human in the water. The fins of its forelimbs have evolved long and flexible joints, which resemble the wings of a bat when unfolded. There are sharp and slightly transparent spines on the edges. The head even has human-like facial features and outlines. And the long and pointed place that resembles the ear spine is covered with fine and long fur-like objects - those hairs tremble slightly in the water, Angelo thinks that it should be some kind of organ like tentacles.

It looks exactly like a mermaid replica of some ancient legend.Although its shape looks so weird, the silky soft and flowing fish tail is dreamy and light, and the scales all over the body change gorgeous colors with the light, which in a sense makes it look fascinatingly beautiful Fantastic.

It seems to be very interested in the smell of the same kind, and until now it still holds the dead baboon used as a hotel in front of it-it is said that some cells in this baboon have blood-like genes.

It touched the body of the baboon with its hair-like tentacles, looked down for a while, and then looked up at the predators above its head. The vertical pupils under the hair-like tentacles were cold and inorganic, and its scaly face showed no expression. But An Qiluo subconsciously felt that its behavior was very humane.

An Qiluo felt vaguely uneasy. You must know that it was such a small fish (?) that somehow damaged three armed mechas with alloy shells that were almost ten times its size in the sea just now. .Although as a marine creature, it has a great advantage in the water, and they did not use weapons of mass destruction in order to capture them alive.

Although it is imprisoned now, its whole body looks unscathed.This made An Qiluo always feel that it seemed to be able to do a job with ease, even if it was led into the trap set in advance in the end, the whole process was so smooth that it made people doubtful, as if it had been premeditated.

"You still think it's too smooth?"

Henry screamed strangely, "Boss, why don't you go into the water and try to catch it? It's like a small nuclear boat. I caught a rhinoceros elephant on the ice field last time, and I dare say that it's not as strong as it. ! I really don’t know what it grows on..."

Henry was one of those who damaged the mech during the capture.

The penetration rate of civilian mechs in the empire ranks among the top among all major galaxies, but high-end smart mechas and armed combat mechas have always been very scarce, and the military is also very strict.The best mechas Angelo and his mercenaries can get are only F-level, and the multi-dimensional memory metal is also a scarce resource, and it is impossible to use it on a large scale on these low-level mechas produced as consumables .

That is to say, the big hole torn on Henry's mecha will not be repaired automatically, and it will be possible to maintain it only after returning to the empire, and the parts inside seem to have been greatly damaged. One bad thing is It is also possible that it is scrapped.

The more Henry thought of getting angry, he couldn't help stamping his foot.

The mermaid was imprisoned in a huge pool, and the water surface was six or seven meters away from the high-strength alloy net on which Anqiluo and the others stood at the top.

The fish-like thing seemed to sense Henry's malice. It suddenly swung its tail, leaped out of the water seemingly effortlessly, and rushed straight towards Henry like an arrow, which was too fast for people to deal with.

The protection system was activated quickly when it came into contact with the metal net, and the powerful current instantly gathered into a net and blasted towards the attacker.

But before it was shot down, it finally pierced a few tentacles through the gaps in the metal mesh, and slapped Henry's neck.

A piercing pain came, and Henry looked down, and couldn't help but gasped.The thick leather combat boots on his feet suffered the same fate as his poor mecha. Under the blow just now, they were cracked like paper, and the edges were still sizzling. Mark of.

Thankfully and puzzlingly, the only places where he felt pain were a few white spots that quickly disappeared, leaving no wound or bleeding.

An Qiluo also heaved a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

He pulled Henry, who was still about to swear, backed away a few steps, left the position of the metal net, and looked down, it was swimming away as if nothing had happened, while pulling the baboon's body and starting to eat, it also passed through the water. The clear click of it biting the bone can be heard.

----------------------

After checking all the training mechs in the base, Adrian confirmed that they were ready to call at any time, and then commanded the cleaning robot to mop the floor of the indoor training ground, and the time was just past the morning.If no temporary use application is received on this day.Most of his afternoon is at his disposal.

Compared with his previous training, the current job is undoubtedly much easier, but as an excellent soldier with ambition and active pursuit of progress, Adrian is not happy with such leisure, and even a little sullen.

It has been more than two months since he was transferred to the training ground on this remote asteroid as the head and administrator of the base.

Except for Adrian, the head of the base, the remaining staff are only two elderly third-level mecha maintenance engineers, an equally elderly medical officer in charge of medical treatment and logistics, and he is the only young man.Even the mechs and airships are relatively old-fashioned basic models.Although the frequency of use is quite high, there are not many daily tasks.

No matter how you look at this base, it is a place suitable for retirement.

Every time Adrian thinks of Colonel Xia Zuo transferring him here, he pats him on the shoulder with a painful face, and says seriously that he still needs two more years of training. Colonel Zuo seemed to have made a big joke with himself.

But now, it seems that he has no choice but also the right to ask Colonel Xia Zuo, who is His Majesty's adjutant, what happened.

The biggest advantage is that the mechs in the base can be driven by him without any training programs. After these two months, Adrian feels that his operation skills are much more proficient than before.

On this day, as usual, he operated the small fighter plane and went out to patrol around. When he came back, he saw a few more long-range aircraft on the landing platform.

The visitors had already completed the application process on the automatic registration device, and Adrian only saw the backs of a few people walking into the weapons and equipment warehouse from a distance.

The figure walking at the end was very familiar, like the Colonel Xia Zuo who brought him to such a situation, Adrian couldn't help but take a second look.As a result, the other party seemed to be aware of it and turned around.

Adrian didn't expect to meet Colonel Xia Zuo in casual clothes unexpectedly in such a place, and was at a loss for a while.And Xia Zuo also recognized him, but obviously he has no interest in talking to him now, he just nodded slightly to Adrian, turned and left.

The distance between the two sides was quite far, and by the time Adrian remembered and trotted over, they had long since disappeared.

Adrian hesitated for a while. He didn't know why Colonel Xia Zuo, who is His Majesty's adjutant, appeared here in casual clothes. He was not sure whether it would be appropriate for him to get close to the other party. After thinking about it, he opened his personal terminal microcomputer , log in to view the training application information of the base just now.

He was just an unconscious action out of curiosity, but when he saw the rest of the registration information, Adrian was stunned by the names of the generals above.

It wasn't until the slight hum of the battleship taking off that Adrian woke up like a dream.

He looked up and saw more than a dozen small armed combat spaceships of the same model gradually rising from the ground and roaring away into the distance.

Adrian only thought about it for less than three seconds, and immediately found an upright reason to convince himself-the opponent was driving a training warship at the base, and it was used outside the base.As the full-fledged person in charge of the base, he is responsible for supervising the safety of materials and personnel during use.

After making a decision, he immediately activated an observation ship, sneaking behind him.
