Chapter 757 Return of the Task Force

The Martian crew members have practiced similar escape drills several times, so even if thousands of people flooded into the huge escape cabin base that could not be seen at a glance at the same time, they could still ensure an orderly marching queue.

The highly intelligent escape cabin does not require special skills for the pilot and co-pilot.

So when people arrived at the escape cabin, they just sat down in the order of seats and then fastened their seat belts immediately.

When the escape capsule is full, the crew member sitting in the driving position presses the start button, the hatch slowly closes, and the escape capsule begins to move toward a separate escape channel according to the fixed maglev track...

After entering the passage, the speed of the escape cabin increased sharply. After several rapid orbit changes that either ascended, descended, or turned 90 degrees to the left or right, they merged into the main passage with a width of 200 meters.

At this time, the crew members in the escape cabin looked outside at the bright and spacious main passage. Other escape cabins began to appear from left and right here. They were not alone and continued to move forward at ultra-low altitude maneuvers.

In front of the escape cabin is a huge escape hatch that is 100 meters high and 270 meters wide. It is similar to the exit hatch of a starship's carrier-based aircraft. There are 6 such escape hatches on this Star Destroyer-level battleship.

After exiting the escape hatch, you will see the interstellar space on the side of the Star Destroyer.

The escape hatch did not slow down. It broke through the fluid pressure balance of the escape hatch and rushed straight outside. The crew's eyes immediately went dark.

[The escape capsule will automatically assign a route to enter the Betelgeuse IV Star Destroyer. Crew members are asked not to operate it and fasten their seat belts.

At present, the pressure, temperature, and oxygen content index in the escape cabin are all normal...]

The timely prompt message sent by the intelligent system did not attract the attention of the people in the escape cabin, and they all looked outside.

They couldn't see the full picture of the Star Destroyer directly in front or behind them. All they could see was the towering black wall.

The top is densely covered with bumps, which are the marking points of the defense cover response module. In the middle of the red or green flashing lights is a bright rectangular hatch, which is the hatch of their escape hatch.

The distance between the two Star Destroyers is only a hundred meters, which is almost close to each other for these two behemoths...

Fifteen minutes later, in the control center.

[The system has detected that 95% of the escape capsules have arrived safely on the Betelgeuse 4 Star Destroyer. Do you want to close the escape channels? 】

"Stand by! Valkyrie, have the engineering ships returned? Are the storage boxes in good condition?"

[Report to Captain, the engineering ship has returned safely, and the storage box is being transferred to the special storage cabin. It is expected to arrive in three minutes.]

"good!"

Captain Helmu let out a long breath. The two things he had been worried about were gone. He was relieved and looked at Cuomu who was still busy next to him.

Helmu suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he had to do.

"Vice Captain Tsumu, the escape route has not been closed yet. Please lead the other crew members in the control center to evacuate.

There will be no problem if Valkyrie and I are here, the navigation system is already connected in parallel with Betelgeuse, and they will control the navigation parameters of Proxima Centauri."

"I knew this was your plan. Don't say I don't agree. Just ask the other officers in the control center and see if they agree?"

After speaking, Vice Captain Tsomu looked at the people around him. His words were loud and carried far in the hall. Almost all the officers in the surrounding seats heard what he said.

"We don't agree either!" the officers stood up and replied in unison.

"I..."

"Commander Helmu, although you are the commander-in-chief of the task force, there are three general-level officers, 20 school-level officers, and as many as a hundred lieutenant-level officers in this hall.

You cannot use your official title to order us."

"..."

Helmu was speechless. His little thoughts were guessed by Vice Captain Tsomu. He was about to refute when the communications officer suddenly raised his hand.

"Commander, the captain of Betelgeuse is on the communication channel."

"Put it through." Helmu turned his head and said.

"Commander, I am Nariel, the captain of the Betelgeuse 4. The crew members from the Proxima Centauri have been settled. When will you come over?"

After hearing this, Helmu turned around and looked at the officers behind him who had all stood up. He thought for a while and leaned down, "Valkyrie, close the escape route."

"Captain Nariel, all the officers in the Proxima control center have decided to stay at their posts and leave the navigation command to you.

The fleet will set sail in 3 minutes!"

"Commander, according to our assessment, even with the obstruction of Betelgeuse, you..."

"I know, execute it!" Helmu directly interrupted Naruel.

A few seconds later, under the leadership of Vice Captain Cuo Mu, warm applause erupted in the command center...

...

Three days later, the first base on Mars.

Chu Ge, Lan Ji, Kane, Sapporo, Naga, the great elders including Commander Wang, Chief of Staff Li and others all came here. They were waiting for their heroes to return in triumph.

"General Chu, the task force seems to be coming back faster."

"Well, going to a strange galaxy is like walking in a primeval forest for the first time. You have to go through all the obstacles at the beginning. Once you have walked this road once, the next time you walk will naturally be much smoother."

Commander Wang nodded. Next, he immediately thought of the mission of the task force, and his brows couldn't help but relax.

"Now that that black matter has been found, does it mean that the production lines of our two major ship types, starships and star destroyers, can be started?"

"Absolutely. After the task force arrives here, it needs to be transferred to the research center in Naga. We need to conduct a full range of tests on it.

Let's look at its density and state. In extreme cases, we need to use a planet-level collider to bombard it.

However, the Naga House of Representatives and I both hold another view, and it should not need this step."

"Can you use it right away?" Commander Wang smiled happily.

"almost!"

Chu Ge replied easily that the raw material data used by the task force to search for this substance were determined based on the signal source of their existing substance.

Since we have searched for Ji according to the picture, this "Ji" should be similar to the substance Chu Ge and the others are using at some level...

After Commander Wang heard Chu Ge's affirmative answer, he was obviously grinning from ear to ear. He looked around happily, and a group of people in red uniforms appeared in front of him.

He didn't know what the red clothes meant at first, until he saw the familiar red cross symbol on their upper arms.

"Hey, are that team of medical personnel? This is the first time I have seen medical personnel on Mars. The red cross mark. General Chu, this looks like your handiwork. Can you be a little innovative?"

Commander Wang's words caught Chu Ge's attention. He followed Commander Wang's eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough he saw the group of people.

"Technology can innovate, so let's forget about it so that everyone can understand it, so that in the future, people from the two planets will not have to unify various logos when they are together... Huh? Why are they here?"
