Escape From the Library

【Deep Starry Sky-03】

After Major General Karen released the mission, he told everyone some precautions. For example, during the operation, follow the instructions of the team leader and ensure your own safety; in case of unresolved danger, you can contact the command headquarters for help, etc.

From Yue Xingwen's point of view, these are just superficial words, just listen to them. If they are in danger, the headquarters will definitely not send people to rescue them-they still have to solve it by themselves.

The female adjutant next to her smiled and said: "This incident is urgent, and you still have one day to prepare. Since the spacecraft of your 183 Special Operations Team is too old, the command decided to give you a state-of-the-art spacecraft— —The Thorn spaceship will accompany you on your expedition.”

The female officer paused, and then said: "There are daily necessities and weapons on the spaceship. Someone will take you to the landing pad for inspection later. In addition, you can also purchase some necessary supplies at the base."

Major General Karen nodded towards Yue Xingwen and said, "I wish you all a triumphant return."

After the two officers announced their mission, their images instantly disappeared from the holographic projection screen in front of them.

Only then did Yue Xingwen look back at his teammates: "Fortunately, there is one day of preparation time, so we don't have to set off right away. Let's figure out the background setting of this world first, and after the acceptance of the spacecraft, we will see if there are any supplies that need to be replenished. "

Ke Shaobin raised a key question: "Is there anyone who can fly a spaceship?"

Everyone: "..."

Pilot a spaceship? !

Xu Yishen helplessly supported his forehead: "I can drive sports cars and racing cars, don't count on me for spaceships."

Xu Yishen, Zhuo Feng and Jiang Pingce got the driver's license in their team, but flying a spaceship is no joke. This kind of thing that only appears in sci-fi movies has never been seen before!

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "The destination of this operation is the Beta-71 nebula. The library will not let us even drive the spaceship. I guess, the spaceship should be fully intelligent, set a navigation destination, Automatically take us to our destination. Alternatively, Command will send a driver to take us there."

Yue Xingwen agreed: "Well, don't worry about the driving problem, you'll know when you go and have a look later."

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside.Yue Xingwen turned his head and said, "Please come in."

Two young officers opened the door and walked in, stood at attention in front of Yue Xingwen, and saluted Yue Xingwen with a standard military salute: "Major Yue, we follow General Karen's order, please go to the apron to inspect the spaceship. "

Yue Xingwen was taken aback by this address.Major?Is this a military rank assigned to him?

Seeing his teammates looking at him with complicated eyes, Yue Xingwen coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "Okay, let's go now."

The crowd followed the two soldiers out of the meeting room and came to the elevator at the end of the corridor.

After the two walked into the elevator, they used their fingerprints to unlock the password, and then pressed the negative 10th floor.The elevator rose rapidly and delivered everyone to the corresponding floor within 5 seconds.

The elevator door opened, and Yue Xingwen continued to walk forward with the two of them.

There is a long and narrow corridor in front of it, which is more than 100 meters by visual inspection. Red lasers are all over the corridor, like dense spider webs.

Yue Xingwen carefully observed the surroundings. The two officers, one on the left and one on the right, scanned the pupils through the visualization windows on both sides of the corridor, and a mechanical voice sounded in their ears: "The verification of the temporary pass was successful."

The next moment, the spider web-like red lasers all disappeared.The shorter soldier looked at Yue Xingwen with a smile and said, "This way please."

Everyone followed them cautiously.After passing through the corridor, three consecutive electronic doors appeared, all of which required pupil verification.

This heavy protection is to bring them into the secret base?

Until the last door opened, everyone was so shocked by the scene before them that they could not speak——

I saw a large number of spaceships and battle armors of different shapes parked in a space ten times wider than the Capital International Airport, and some spaceships were larger than a football field.The apron is divided into four areas, and the mechs in each area are of one color, black, white, blue, red, and I don't know what it represents.

On the far left is the group of fighter planes dominated by blue. Hundreds of fighter planes are neatly arranged in a square formation, and several "behemoths" are parked in the center like leaders.

Someone drove a convertible towards them, and the two officers invited Yue Xingwen to get in the car.

After all 12 people boarded the car, a transparent protective cover lowered above the head, the hover car vacated steadily, and flew towards the direction of the blue fighter group at an extremely fast speed!

The students didn't dare to talk nonsense, but this scene made everyone excited.

Especially Ke Shaobin, with bright eyes, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously through the window-this is so cool!

On the tarmac, many soldiers lined up neatly, boarded armors of various colors, and armors took off and landed continuously. This busy scene seemed like a big war was coming.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce happened to be sitting together, and they looked at each other, Jiang Pingce whispered in his ear: "This should be a military base, and the armor of different colors represents different military branches, which are consistent with the clothes on your body. "

"We are wearing blue military uniforms, and the mechs are also blue. According to Major General Karen, we belong to the special forces, right?" Yue Xingwen said, looking at the dark blue armor group in the distance.

"This official military uniform is not very convenient to move around. I checked the closet just now and found a blue camouflage uniform. We will change into it when we officially set off tomorrow," Jiang Pingce said.

"it is good."

The two stopped to talk, and the suspension vehicle that everyone was riding in happened to come over the battle armor group, and the vehicle transported them to a "spaceship" the size of a basketball court.I saw that the spaceship was painted a dark blue like a starry sky, with a huge thorny wreath logo on it.As they approached, the cabin of the spaceship was lowered.

Everyone lined up and boarded the spaceship with the two officers.

The interior of the spaceship is spacious and bright, the surrounding walls are made of technologically-sounding silver-white metal, and the floor is covered with a soft dark blue carpet.After entering the spacecraft, there is a central hall, where the command room and console are located.

As Jiang Pingce guessed—this spaceship is indeed in intelligent autopilot mode.

Yue Xingwen quickly walked over to take a look at the control panel. The three-meter-wide night scene touch screen is full of buttons marked in Chinese, such as take-off, landing, setting the end point, cruise control, etc., a fool-like system, which looks very Simple.In addition, there is a row of red and blue buttons next to the navigation system, which read "open the defensive cover", "fire the electromagnetic gun", "start the emergency escape cabin" and so on.

After leaving the command room, it is the living area of ​​the spacecraft. There are 6 double rooms on both sides of the wide corridor. The interior of the room is about 10 square meters, with a bed on the left and a bed on the right, a small shared toilet, and hot water and shower systems.Further forward of the living area is a rest area of ​​about ten square meters, with a dining table, chairs and a large freezer on one wall.

Ke Shaobin curiously opened the freezer and looked at it, and suddenly his eyes lit up—a large amount of vacuum-packed fruits and vegetables, as well as canned meat such as chicken, duck, fish, and beef, instant biscuits, instant noodles, etc., a whole wall The freezer is actually packed to the brim!

Ke Shaobin winked at everyone and said with his lips: "This is the best meal ever!"

Zhuo Feng smiled and said, "The physics department is quite generous."

Yue Xingwen took a brief look at the freezer and continued to show everyone around.

Further back is the armory, which contains a large number of firearms and magazines.

Xu Yishen casually picked up a gun to observe, and said in a low voice, "I've never seen these weapons before, so it's better not to use them indiscriminately, and find a way if the ability can't solve it."

Yue Xingwen nodded in agreement: "Well, if you have time, study it carefully."

Behind the arsenal is the escape pod, and this spaceship has 12 escape pods, exactly equal to their number.

Thinking of the "Start Escape Pod" button he saw on the console just now, Yue Xingwen had a bad feeling—these life-saving gadgets would definitely come in handy.

After visiting the entire spaceship, the officers who led them handed over a smart key to Yue Xingwen, saying: "Major Yue, from now on, the authority to use the Thorn spaceship will be officially transferred to you! You can move freely on the spaceship If you want to go back, please feel free to contact us.”

Yue Xingwen nodded to them politely: "Thank you two."

The two turned and left, and everyone who had been silent was finally able to speak freely.

Ke Shaobin said excitedly: "Space exploration sounds very exciting, like being on the set of a science fiction movie! Moreover, the canned meat, fruits and vegetables in the freezer are enough for us to eat for a month!"

Xin Yan said lightly: "I knew that your first concern will always be food."

Ke Shaobin looked back at him: "Isn't it better than steaming leaves?"

Yue Xingwen also said: "The conditions of the Thorn spaceship are really good. There are enough food reserves, a spacious sleeping space, and hot water for bathing. But everyone, don't be too happy. We are not traveling in the universe. This spaceship can It’s still unknown if he can’t be with us for a month.”

Jiang Pingce said: "That's right. Xiaonian first measured the interior of the spaceship with a laser range finder, drew an accurate floor plan and sent it to everyone. We need to be familiar with every corner of the spaceship. It’s good to evacuate at any time. Especially the location of the escape cabin, mark it carefully.”

"Understood!" Zhang Xiaonian started working immediately.

Yue Xingwen looked at Ke Shaobin and said, "Young Master Ke, can your computer be connected to the Internet? Check the background information of this world, as well as the location of Nebula Beta-71."

Ke Shaobin took out his laptop and connected to the Internet, tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly, and quickly retrieved a row of information.He picked a few key points and said: "The place we live in is called planet β-01. This underground building has a total of 108 floors and is the seat of the federal command headquarters."

Zhuo Feng frowned and said, "Where's the earth?"

Ke Shaobin explained: "The large-scale nuclear war led to the complete destruction of the earth. Human beings had no choice but to leave the earth and find another habitable star in the universe. It is a pity that the external environment of this planet is harsh, the surface temperature is too high, and the water source is also poor. It is polluted, and there are a large number of alien creatures, which are not suitable for human survival. Therefore, human beings have found ways to build a large number of underground bases, and through the filtration system, fresh air and water are sent underground."

He paused and concluded: "In other words, this world no longer has warm sunshine, clean air, and clear water. Human beings are now struggling to survive, living underground for a long time, and their average life expectancy has been shortened to 40 years old. , the offspring still have a large number of genetic diseases."

Yue Xingwen rubbed his temples with a headache: "Well, the library can really edit. Anyway, even the earth is gone, so don't be too surprised what happens next."
