Chapter 62 The Land of Origin (2)
Planets, stars, galaxies, star clusters, as well as comets and meteors, they form a vast and mysterious universe that is awe-inspiring.
As for yearning.
Lu Li stepped into deep space for the second time and no longer had the original novelty.
"There is a foreign object within ten meters."
"There is a foreign object within eight meters."
Different from the initial departure, there is no taxiing track provided at the airport. If the spacecraft wants to leave, it must break free from the restraints——
It was an area similar to a parking space, bounded by two special metal frames, with a grab handle in the middle to secure the spacecraft.
"No foreign objects blocking it."
In fact, the driver Capone thinks there is no difference between the two methods. They are both quite simple, as long as you have your hands.
He controlled the spacecraft to move smoothly out of the fixed position without colliding with any metal frame.
Captain Lu Li held the coffee cup and ordered: "Maintain the departure speed."
"Copy that, the spacecraft remains stable." Capone looked calm.
"Copilot, prepare for warp acceleration."
"receive."
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Twenty minutes ago, Lu Li made an interstellar phone call and asked Mr. Lin Xiuyi for some basic knowledge.
"Attention all members and departments on the ship, prepare to switch to nuclear power, and be careful about shaking."
"Countdown to five seconds."
The caller was a dark man, who was the co-pilot and correspondent of the ship.
"Five...four...three..."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the crew members felt a shaking feeling. It wasn't too violent, but it couldn't be ignored.
Some of the lighter female crew members either fastened their seat belts in advance or held on to something solid.
After a while, the shaking stopped.
The heavy-duty scientific research ship Black Prince officially entered deep space and began traveling at super-light speed.
Behind it were the light supply ships Ascent and Lightning, and a hospital ship named Golden Shield.
"Pilots plan navigational trajectories."
Lu Li looked indifferent, without any expression, and spoke the next instruction in a deep voice.
"receive."
Due to the assistance of the intelligent system, the co-pilot could often be lazy. Therefore, Allen was distracted several times to observe Lu Li.
The first time was when the other party stepped into the cockpit.
The second time was when I gave myself the instruction to accelerate.
The third time was during acceleration.
Except for him, no one was standing in the cockpit. The textbook said that this wrong approach would cause people to fall, and many years of experience told Allen that this was the truth.
However, the scientific theorem is invalid today.
The excessively young captain stood steadily by the center console holding a cup and saucer, taking a sip of coffee in the process.
In fact, Allen was not the only one to notice this scene, many people did the same.
According to the big boss, the new captain seems to be the executive director of the group and has a very high status.
Someone muttered in their hearts.
Only the pilot Capone and the deputy captain Makoto Mita knew that about an hour ago, all the senior officials of the group who could come rushed to the airport to see each other off and at the same time express their attitude.
Not only that, the managers on the four spaceships were called together for another short meeting with one purpose:
Unconditionally obey the fleet captain’s arrangements!
Because of this, Mita Cheng wisely gave up his position as captain and devoted himself to assisting Lu Li.
As expected of a human being who has broken the genetic lock, he can actually achieve this.
Compared to his command experience, Capone paid more attention to Lu Li's inadvertent display of force value.
He vaguely felt that the purpose of this trip was not simple.
The staff in the kitchen who are responsible for chopping radishes and onions are each stronger than the other and can be called muscle monsters.
It's just chopping vegetables, why do you need to recruit someone with this kind of physique? Anyway, it is impossible for the logistics department to have such a strong man, and it is most likely that he is seconded from the security department.
The most important thing is that while inspecting the cargo hold on the bottom floor, Capone discovered that there were not only drilling vehicles, jeeps, and ore extraction vehicles used for scientific research, but also a large number of armed vehicles.
Is this going to start a colonial war?
But what dangers does the desolate star named [297] pose? Public information shows that it only completed its atmospheric modification ten years ago. The original owner was Nakagawa Biotech, but because the other party was unable to develop it, it was sold to its own company.
Of course, Lu Li didn't care what these people thought, as long as they dropped themselves and the combat troops safely at their destination.
Naturally, scientists who know the inside story are responsible for the sampling work.
In other words.
There are three types of people on board:
Some crew members don't know anything and think that the tasks the company wants to perform are just as advertised;
Some of the crew members know that this trip is dangerous and they need to fight against a monster called an alien. Most of them are security personnel.
The last part is a small number of scientific researchers, these people have had close contact with aliens and conducted research on them.
But Lu Li is in a unique category.
At this moment, he was staring through the porthole in a daze at the bright stars flashing by.
Who is setting up a trap?
Engineer civilization, or, some human snobbery.
The latter is unlikely.
Even the six major biological companies in the alliance that are involved in the field of human genes and monopolize gene enhancers do not have the courage to use black water as bait.
"I don't rule out the possibility that I'm overthinking and overthinking."
Lu Li's mind was racing with thoughts. Experience told him that this trip would not be easy, but the facts showed that accidents were unlikely to happen.
The accident that happened on the Tinder caused Roche Biotech to strengthen its control. Each crew member was not allowed to bring personal belongings, and the company would provide uniforms and daily necessities.
In addition, any item must have relevant information found in the database to eliminate the possibility of unknown substances being mixed into the ship.
"Mr. Mita, I'll leave this to you. I'm in the captain's lounge and can come to you anytime if you need anything."
After standing for a while, Lu Li felt lazy again. In fact, it was mainly because he felt that it didn't make much sense, so he just wanted to be alone for a while.
"Don't worry." Mita Cheng said with a serious face, "I have nearly twenty years of sailing experience, and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong while you are away."
"That would be troublesome."
Lu Li nodded, without patting the other person on the shoulder, and turned around and walked towards the independent lounge.
No password verification or iris verification is required, and the hatches along the way will open automatically.
Whether inside or outside the ship, there is no one with higher authority than Lu Li. In this regard, Boss Luo is indeed kind enough and does not use any tricks.
When he arrived at the independent lounge, he took out a bottle of red wine of excellent age and taste from the wine cabinet. He also took out some snacks to go with wine from the cold storage nearby and placed them on the table.
Generally speaking, scientific research ships are not equipped with entertainment facilities, but in order to prevent Lu Li from getting bored, the company specially placed several game consoles and video playback equipment in this lounge.
better than nothing.
