King of the Stars [Rebirth]

"25 days, 320 weapons, 89% repaired, scrap rate less than 3%... Tsk tsk, Sandy, do you think I picked up a treasure?" Sitting in a large leather chair, Captain Barnett said leisurely Flicking the crystal screen at hand, he smiled and asked his navigator.

"Better than expected." Sandy replied calmly.

"Haha, Sandy, you are too serious, you seem to have frightened our little tails." Only a few words later, the captain showed that frivolous look that made teeth hurt again.

Of course, Yan Beichen didn't have any expression on his face, and stood solemnly in this luxurious captain's cabin that was half the size of a bridge.Probably to increase the deterrent effect, the porthole partition against the wall behind the desk was raised, the dark universe became the background of the reception room, and the vast constellations fell behind like rain, forming a breathtaking and magnificent landscape.

Not everyone can enjoy such a scene, especially for newcomers who are new to the universe.An overly magnificent scene will cause people in a small space to suffocate, and then form a cosmic phobia.But for Yan Beichen, this is obviously not a problem.

As if satisfied with the little soldier's composure, Barnett reached out and touched the short beard on his chin, grinning: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to hold on, anyway, that's 1.5 times the gravity. Gru made a bet with me before, guess when you will come crying and complain..."

He paused on purpose, apparently waiting for the young man in front of him to make a wisecrack.Naturally, he didn't wait.Some people are just so boring.Sighing sadly, Barnett shook his finger at the black-haired man beside him: "Sandy~"

The tacit understanding between the two is obviously very good. The navigator picked up the crystal screen from the table, and with a swipe of his finger, a clear image appeared on the porthole, covering the original constellation of stars.It was a photo of a distant view of the planet. The shooting distance was only a few light minutes. The image was very clear. Under the flowing atmospheric clouds, there were several yellow and green color patches. The green ones were probably water bodies, and the yellowish brown ones were land. The proportion of those is about the same, it seems to be a naturally formed planet.

"Landa coordinates K3707.5, Desolate Star. Discovered within one year, unnamed, unsurveyed, unknown geographical environment. Danger level AAA." As if doing a tour guide program, Sandy kept his tone without ups and downs , introduce it.

In the universe, the most indispensable thing is stars.Billions of galaxies are boundless, from planets to stars, from red giants to supernovae, it can be said that every step of human beings in opening up the universe is the process of conquering the stars.However, even with the development of technology today, not every planet is suitable for human habitation.Therefore, the development of the planet is divided into three categories.

The first is a planet with no signs of life.This kind of planet has not yet produced an environment suitable for the reproduction of organisms. There is no or rare water body, no vegetation, no fixed biological chain, and only countless minerals. It is best to have companion stars or red dwarfs around for sustainable development and utilization. .Such a planet will be transformed into a third-class star, which can only live in a small number of miners, guarantee a minimum standard of living, and provide resources for other planets.In the universe, the number of third-class stars is the largest, and the average lifespan is the shortest. In a maximum of 600 years, the resources on the planet will be plundered and become abandoned garbage stars.

The second type is a planet with a complete body of water.It doesn't matter whether there is a biological chain or not. A large amount of water means the basis for human reproduction. It can be transformed on a large scale and turn the entire planet into an environment suitable for human habitation. Such a planet is also the most common habitable planet, known as the second planet. Most citizens will thrive in the second-class star circle.

The third type is a planet similar to the origin star.Being in a star system, the distance from the sun of the galaxy is suitable. It has a nearly complete atmosphere, ecosystem and gravity model, and it can be suitable for human habitation with a little modification.Such a planet is extremely rare, it can be said to be a treasure in the universe, and naturally it is occupied by the most picky nobles.Without exception, the first-class stars built in this way will be carefully transformed and passed down as family heritage from generation to generation.This is also the artificial planet with the longest average life span. It is said that the oldest first-class star existed in the solar era, and the three first-class stars in the Landa star field, the youngest is 1700 years old, which is a real symbol of honor and glory. .

In addition to these three modified stars, there are more planets that cannot be modified, some of which are due to too harsh conditions, such as too fast autobiography, uneven revolution range, stars in the galaxy are about to collapse, and there are black holes around them, etc.; Some are due to the natural birth of life under extremely harsh conditions.The former is called the Death Star, and the latter is called the Desolate Star.

The Death Star has no value that can be discussed, but the Desolate Star makes people love and hate.The cost of transforming a barren star is often more extravagant than transforming a first-class star, and once the transformation is successful, the biological system on the planet will be destroyed, and it is not as livable as an ordinary second-class star.At the same time, most of the species born on this planet have extremely exaggerated mutations. Although there are no intelligent creatures capable of threatening human beings, they are still quite dangerous to explorers.

It can be said that every barren star is a treasure house of weird creatures, possessing coveted resources, but rejecting human conquest.Therefore, the barren star has become a kind of weird hunting ground, and those with a low risk factor are confined by those boring nobles and become a place for recreation.Those with a higher risk factor have become the homes of bounty hunters and explorers.

The 3A desolate star on the big screen is obviously the most dangerous kind.

However, such a planet should not be the place that pirates should pay attention to. The risk factor is too high, so it is better to rob the caravan. Why would they choose to go to the deserted star and bring cumbersome soldiers with them?This question is obviously the key to everything, and the man in front of him gave the answer straightforwardly.

"This is a dangerous planet, but there are rumors that there are crystal beasts on this desolate planet, the highest level." Sandy knocked on the crystal screen, and a strange beast appeared on the projection screen.It's not very big, a little bigger than a large dog, but it has no fur on its body, instead it is covered with scales. It has six paws scattered around its body, and on its head are four symmetrically growing eyes, which are bright red and shiny. Like some kind of science fiction monster.

With just one glance, Yan Beichen understood.It's no wonder that the people of the magic wolf are also moved. It turns out that there are primitive crystal beasts in that barren star!

The crystal beast is also an extremely rare creature in the universe, which feeds exclusively on induction metal.It should be noted that all the induction metals discovered by humans are raw ores, which are extremely difficult to mine and require very complicated purification and smelting before they can be put into use. Unlike crystal beasts, they are naturally able to digest the impurities in raw ores and excrete them. They produce extremely high-purity induction metals, and because of their nature, they are also good at discovering induction raw ores, especially the highest-level "microcrystals", which can only be found by high-level soldiers and crystal beasts.

Even if it is a wealthy family, it is impossible to send a team of high-level soldiers to find microcrystalline mines, so crystal beasts have become the only choice.However, crystal beasts are not a common group, and the probability of natural reproduction is very low, so they can only be hunted in the wild.Therefore, it has become the most sought-after commodity on the black market.A crystal beast is enough to exchange for a year's profit of any fleet, no wonder people are willing to take risks and flock to it.

Soon after he figured out what was going on, Yan Beichen asked directly, "So you are going to hunt crystal beasts?"

"It's not 'you', it's 'us'." It was Captain Barnett who answered the conversation, flicking the brim of his hat lightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, "There are very few people who know about this now, and there is something about that desolate star. Nearly twice the gravity, not everyone can win it. If we have soldiers to support us, our chances of winning will be greater."

Gravity that exceeds the normal range does not cause small damage to any machine, and hunting and hunting can only be done on land. There are still many terrifying and strange creatures on this deserted star, and the battle losses will definitely not be small.If there is a soldier who can efficiently repair weapons and equipment and prepare mechas, it will of course be of great help to the hunting team.

Maybe the captain didn't take him in at first for this mission, at least not for him to directly participate, but now, he already has the qualifications to join the gang.That is a crystal beast!It is impossible for anyone to refuse such a temptation.

Yan Beichen naturally couldn't either.

With just one glance, Barnett knew the answer of the boy in front of him.Standing up with a smile, he stretched his waist a long way: "It's all right, boy, let's fix the rags here, go and see my baby, and see if she can accept you."

finally come!For nearly half a month, Yan Beichen hadn't touched any mechas. This was a matter of course. No one would hand over their fighters to a rookie who couldn't even pass the cadet soldier exam.But in the past month, whether it's weapon repair or gravity training, he has saved enough chips for himself, and made the captain in front of him really start to trust him. As long as he can pass the last test, he can become an accompanying soldier. Join the hunting team.

For one's own stated goals, this is naturally extremely important.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Beichen nodded solemnly, without any hesitation, followed Barnett, and stepped into the expressway.

The soles of the boots stepped on the polished floor, making a crisp "click" sound, as if there were some metal decorations on the heels, which complemented the man's exaggerated gait, forming an indescribably peculiar style .Barnett didn't care about the gaze behind him. Shi Shiran stepped out of the expressway and stood in front of the 5-meter high-alloy gate. Pressing the door with his fingertips, the heavy door slid silently into the wall. go.

A mech appeared in front of the three of them.

That is not a humanoid mech, but a long-range KMAX300 Harrier attack aircraft.It can be used with particle beam guns, electromagnetic cannons and small photon torpedoes, and is suitable for space and atmospheric combat. However, due to the high sensitivity of the Harrier, it is not a commonly used long-range weapon.

However, it fits the captain's style very well.Glancing at the other party's fancy felt hat, Yan Beichen moved his gaze to the workbench next to the mech. A box was open on the table. It was the one that Master Ensai asked him to send. His pupils suddenly opened, and he Open your eyes wide, it is a cationic sniper gun dedicated to mechs, with golden patterns painted on the thin and long gun body!This is the pattern only used by Tier A weapons!

You must know that the Harrier Assault Machine is only a B-rank mecha. Even if someone is rich and powerful and installs an A-rank weapon, the kinetic energy will be greatly reduced. Unlike other things, the induction metal is extremely sensitive to the perception of the grade. It is also a heavy burden for the knight. If it is not that the captain has extremely strong self-confidence, it is that he has an excellent weapon maker.

Of course, maybe both!

Noticing Yan Beichen's gaze, Barnett smiled triumphantly: "My baby is very good, isn't it? The master sent a cannon, and now I want to install it on the fuselage, can you prepare it?"

This is definitely beyond the scope of the ability of junior soldiers, but this young man is the apprentice of Master Ensai, and he is very good at weapons, so Barnett finally made up his mind to let him try.After all, there are two concepts of armored equipment and unarmored equipment. Excellent armored soldiers are the basis for mechas to exert their power.Of course, it has to be good enough.

Yan Beichen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I can try, but first, I want to see how you control it."
