"During the ascent of the synchronous orbital elevator, you will bear a gravity of 12 G. This is the slowest speed specially set to take care of you new recruits!"
"The Space and Time Administration will not count any less acceleration just because you are new recruits. You don't need anti-gravity suits. Your strengthened body can't even withstand this gravity acceleration. It's better to go back to your own world and apply for an exhibition match. Now
The APEX competition is very popular!”
Zionov was in the synchronous orbit elevator, looking at this group of new students and telling them the requirements of the Space-Time Administration.
"Conducting final inspections before launch. The pedestrian bridge is evacuated. The cargo bay door is closed."
Viki's voice made the final announcement, the space cargo cabin began to connect to the orbit, and the rocket engine was installed into the cargo cabin's predetermined position.
Zionov looked at the students on the seats and stood alone in front of them. Except for the shoes under his feet and the steel floor adsorption, which fixed him to the ground, there was no protective measure.
"Pay attention to your breathing frequency and put on your monitoring helmet! Once someone faints, they will lose the opportunity to continue completing the assessment."
The rocket engine started, and an extremely powerful force poured in from the soles of the feet, sending the equipment and personnel in this cargo compartment to the geostationary space station.
Dionov's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Seventeen thousand kilometers away, this is the tallest building on the planet. You should be lucky that you are not on Earth. The 90,000 kilometers synchronous orbit elevator is the most standard reference system."
Suddenly, Dionov, who was holding a tablet, found a person's information on the tablet and asked loudly: "Anthony Perryman! How big will the longbow precision rifle be at the aiming angle and landing angle at 2,200 meters?"
change?"
"Sir, under the standard conditions of the earth, they are 1 degree 10 minutes 19.5 mils and 2 degrees 20 minutes 41.7 mils respectively. We are on Mars now, so it should be..."
Anthony Perryman is the shepherd's real name. He quickly recalled the relevant content of the question and gave the correct answer.
The 17,000-kilometer synchronous orbiting space station is naturally not on the earth. This is the Mars training base of the Space-Time Administration in the Forge World. New members will undergo the most rigorous training here before they will be recruited by the Space-Time Administration.
Selected by the combat team and become a part of it.
The Earth in the Forge World has become a testing ground for little green men, and the nearest Mars has become a training base for combat troops. There is a certain distance between the two sides to ensure each other's privacy. This distance also allows the test weapons to be tested as quickly as possible.
speed into the hands of combatants.
"Two unauthorized persons have been detected, please strictly stay in the authorized area."
Standing in the scanning area, Shepherd and Holt underwent a comprehensive scan and examination by VIKI and received their activity IDs at the same time.
Standing in the artificial gravity module in synchronous orbit, the two of them looked at Mars below and the various spacecrafts going back and forth around them. In the past few months, they were still operating on the earth, but they had arrived at Mars in the blink of an eye, let alone connected to it.
Came down.
There was a crashing sound outside the transparent glass, and the two saw a little green man winking at them. It was Kerbal chief astronaut Jebediah, and behind the little green man there was also a group of extravehicular astronauts undergoing training.
Jebediah's extravagant flight shocked the two people inside. After lightly beating his brother, the shepherd said, "Let's go, our new training is about to begin."
"Where are you two going?"
Zhang Peng happily asked Shepherd and Holt. No one knew why Zhang Peng was so happy, or in other words, no one knew why a group of old aerospace collectives became inexplicably happy.
After the successful conclusion of the World Conference, Dionov saw a copy of the minutes of the World Conference during an internal regular meeting.
And it clearly states that Rorschach asked the two worlds to jointly research a plant that can survive at minus ninety degrees, which is the surface atmospheric temperature of the wandering earth world when it leaves the predetermined orbit. Even if it continues to leave after that,
Low-temperature plants allow them to create plantations in permafrost.
If this kind of plant really existed, life on the earth would be infinitely better.
Although Dionov still did not receive confirmation of the world coordinates of Wandering Earth during the regular meeting, this was a hope conveyed by the Space and Time Administration that their world had not been abandoned.
If there is hope, there is everything!
"Go to Europa and perform mission SSIS-xxx."
Zhang Peng followed Shepherd's instructions and entered the mission code on the transport plane's operation screen, and saw the specific coordinates.
After closing the hatch, Zhang Peng said: "Stand still and hold on, let's leave now!"
The transport plane jumped on the spot and suddenly appeared around Europa in a dazzling light.
"With one minute countdown, I will park the transport plane in the atmosphere of Europa."
The transport plane slowly approached Europa. Shepherd and Holt began to check their weapons, pulled down the masks of the fully enclosed armor, and patted each other's shoulders to indicate that they were ready.
The average temperature of Europa is minus 163 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at the poles is even lower, minus 223 degrees Celsius.
As a terrestrial planet composed of silicate rocks, at such temperatures, Europa has an ice layer of more than 100 kilometers thick and a liquid water world under the ice of 50 kilometers.
The oxygen-rich atmosphere of Europa is only one micropascal, so the so-called location within the atmosphere where the transport aircraft stops is only seven kilometers above the surface.
Shepherd uploaded the start information of the operation and confirmed to the terminal: "The operation has been confirmed, rules of engagement?"
"There are no limits."
The reply from the terminal made the shepherd's heart suddenly sink. Fighting without restrictions?
Subconsciously unloading the magazine, the shepherd withdrew a physical ammunition, opened it with his hands, and found that it was a full-power ammunition filled with high-energy explosives.
Exercises turned into real action?
Originally, my own world could only use exercises to trick recruits into treating them as real actions. Why did this Space-Time Management Bureau do the opposite?
The hovering transport plane opened the side door, and fierce cold wind and frost rushed into the cabin.
"Holt, actual combat!"
After reminding his comrades beside him, the shepherd jumped out of the transport plane amid the rapid warning sound.
The location of the intended target appeared on the heads-up display, and the shepherd kept adjusting his posture in the storm to let himself float in that direction.
After four kilometers of free fall, the two men's downward trend was not relieved. The propellers on their waists began to assist, allowing them to fall at a faster speed.
The highest requirement for the airborne operations of the Space and Time Administration is speed. I didn't even use a parachute, and even accelerated my landing, so that the enemies on the ground couldn't react at all, and I saw a group of soldiers falling between them.
The landing of the remaining three kilometers took less than ten seconds. In the last three hundred meters, the two people's heads, feet, and postures were forcibly corrected. The body pushed the machine upwards without changing the direction, but the speed dropped.
.
Now the two of them felt as if their bodies were being hung by a hook and spinning around in a circle. Before they had time to take a breath, they saw the target indication position on the heads-up display not far away.
When they came to the edge of the glacier canyon formed by geological activities, after looking down for a moment, Shepherd and Holt jumped directly.
The legs were slightly bent, and the broken blade was drawn out with the right hand. The two landed accurately on the sentinels below, breaking their spines with the impact of landing, and then inserted the blade through the gap in the armor next to their necks.
Warm blood flowed out of the clothes, and then turned into frozen blood flowers in the ice and snow of Europa.
'It's real blood!'
'It's really not a drill?'
The two of them looked at each other, and it was so bad that the shepherd became cruel and crushed the head of the corpse at his feet.
The exploded armor-covered helmet and its contents were splashed all over the floor, and clear cerebrospinal fluid could even be seen leaking out of the cervical spine fault.
It's true!
"I'll clear the way."
The safety of the CAR submachine gun in his hand was released, Shepherd walked at the front, and Holt behind him began to execute the action communication.
"Call the black barrier, the enemies in the mission area have begun to be cleared."
"Received, will report the situation, clean up the entire area, completed."
The two of them, one behind the other, carefully pushed forward along the ice crack.
"So this isn't a test? Are they going straight into combat?"
"Perform your mission with peace of mind."
"Mission? Clean up the entire area? Just the two of us?"
"It's almost like in Bolivia..."
"Yes, but we are on Europa..."
The two of them used conversation to relieve their tension. The chemical fuel burning at the corner of the ice crevice gave off a dazzling light. The enemy in heavy armor was stationed behind the steel wall pier with weapons in hand.
The shepherd put away his submachine gun and took out a short handle from his waist. Holt on the other side took out a throwing object.
With the help of the propeller on his waist, the shepherd's whole body was pressed against the ice wall, and Holt also threw the throwing object in his hand.
The heavily armed enemy behind the steel bunker saw the shepherd on the wall, and his gun muzzle began to move subconsciously. When he was about to lock on the shepherd, a cloud of smoke exploded instantly, obscuring his sight.
Two red lights flashed in the smoke, followed by two falling sounds.
The meteorite sword cut off the enemy's weapon and then traversed the heavy armored soldier. Shepherd and Holt cooperated perfectly.
The continued approach allowed the two heads-up displays to detect more signals.
"There are a lot of heat sources at depth," Holt continued to report.
I saw a steel building half-buried in the iceberg in front of me. Several soldiers with guns were scattered on guard. They were almost all in each other's field of vision, and there was almost no blind spot.
The shepherd whispered: "The two on the left belong to you, and the rest belong to me."
Holt put the enemy into the scope and said: "On the count of three, act."
"three!"
The sound of the gunshot hit the billions of years of ice under this ice crevice, and was extremely clear and harsh.
After completing a Russian-style infiltration, the two of them were no longer as cautious as before and just rushed in with their heads covered.
The thrusters on their backs pushed their speed to the limit, and they jumped across the cracks in the ice and landed on the steel building.
Taking advantage of the short gap in the leap, the shepherd saw the entire building. This was not a building at all, but a spaceship that he had never seen before.
"Call Black Barrier, the target location is a spaceship."
"Clean the spacecraft and scan the bridge system. Complete."
"receive!"
Shepherd and Holt didn't stop at all. They kept charging and plunged into the spacecraft.
The gunshots from the outside world just now must have aroused the opponent's alert. The next step is not to infiltrate, but to annihilate!
Entering the steel corridor, Shepherd and Holt separated at the fork in the road. The unknown spacecraft and the others needed to find the bridge as soon as possible, and separation was the best option.
Speeding past the soldier who had just picked up the gun and had no time to react, the shepherd dropped an explosive while sliding, rushed into the next room without looking, and closed the steel gate.
The dull explosion behind him did not faze the shepherd in the slightest. The sonar detection had been turned on to the maximum, and all the surrounding routes had appeared on his head-up display.
Instead of looking for clear roads, shepherds searched for roads that had been hastily closed during constant sonar detection.
Only the most confidential and important places will be sealed off, and that is the key direction of the assault.
The annihilation battle is very smooth, even some enemy bullets or explosives cannot penetrate the Shepherd's force field shield, and the Shepherd's marksmanship allows him to take away an enemy with every bullet.
Even isolation doors and airlocks are no match for meteorite swords. This high-heat plasma entity, similar to a lightsaber, can cut through most metals.
In the end, Shepherd and Holt met up, and they stood in a most enclosed area.
The multi-layer airlock is jointly protected, and there is the sound of large machinery operating inside.
The two of them started their final advance without any hesitation.
The Shepherd took out a thunder cannon, and Holt took out a can of spray and started spraying the Shepherd.
The thunder cannon can fire a powerful charged particle cluster, which moves forward like ball lightning, and the spreading lightning will destroy everything in its path.
All weapons used against Titans are extremely useful against infantry, and the Thunder Cannon is no exception.
It's just that these charged particles can't tell the difference between friend and foe, so you must wear tight insulating clothing to use them.
Shepherd and Holt wore fully enclosed armored suits with an insulating lining, but the circuit integration was connected to the outer armor. Even if there was grounding protection, according to combat procedures, it was still necessary to add a layer of temporary protection to the outer armor.
Even the soles of the feet were sprayed with insulating spray, and the shepherd carried the thunder cannon and aimed it at the airlock door.
Holt stood very far behind Shepherd, and he threw an arc star at the airlock door.
The burst of arc caused a strong pulse, causing the airlock door to temporarily lose control and become half-opened and closed.
With a fleeting opportunity, the shepherd decisively launched the spherical charged particles.
The flashing lightning ball penetrated into the airlock cabin, and the flashing arc illuminated everything inside.
But when he saw the situation inside, Shepherd was completely dumbfounded, because inside was his instructor, McTavish, the recruiter of Team 141 of the Space and Time Administration, and even the Marvin robot on the side was still waving to him in a friendly way.
.
And that thunder ball destroyed everything, the flying flesh and blood was directly evaporated, and Marvin was burned into scrap metal.
"No!"
The shepherd suddenly sat up, looked around suspiciously, and then took off the helmet on his head.
As the recruiter for Task Force 141, McTavish smiled and said to Shepherd: "How does it feel? Rookie."
At this moment, MacTavish was over two and a half meters tall. He looked down at the shepherd as if he were a child.
"Too bad."
The Shepherd looked around, he was still on the space elevator, he had not even left.
Holding the helmet in his hand, the shepherd asked: "Is this the thing?"
'Soap' McTavish nodded and said: "The mind-infiltration device draws on the brain-computer interface and the symbiote controller to create an extremely realistic simulation environment. And the space elevator trip just now has an acceleration of more than 12G. As long as
When you fall into a coma, your mind will be plugged into it."
"And your subconscious reaction and tactical performance will serve as an important reference for us."
When McTavish introduced him, Holt shouted "Fuck" and woke up.
"Okay, now that the rookies are all awake, do you want to hear your comments?"
McTavish took out a tablet, looked at the content on it, and then looked up at the two guys in front of him.
Shepherd and Holt put down their helmets, stood up straight, and waited for the final result.
He said in a regretful tone: "I'm sorry, your first comment was a brainless idiot."
This comment made the two people's hearts sink immediately. This comment meant that they did not know where they had made a serious mistake.
However, McTavish suddenly laughed and said: "This is Chris's evaluation of you. In the eyes of the little raccoon, you are brainless guys."
The ghost team that Shepherd belongs to was recruited by the little raccoon. Logically speaking, their first choice is the little raccoon.
However, the little raccoon needs to use the symbiote controller to control multiple biochemical weapons. New recruits who cannot complete the symbiote controller training are said to be brainless.
The Shepherd breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to make a mindless comment, but using the symbiote controller was like precisely controlling every moving unit in the interstellar world. He even had strict requirements on how many shots to fire. He really did it.
Less than.
"However, your performance in the infiltration reconnaissance inspection is still unqualified. Anthony Perryman, you have doubts, but you did not expect that the space you are in is fake."
"Dominique Moretta, you chose to trust the judgment of your teammates, but you didn't see it coming."
"In terms of tactical plan and performance, you are capable of clearing the entire spaceship. The enemy's equipment lags behind yours, but you were still shot at, so I can only give you a pass in this category."
"If the comprehensive strength of the training meets the requirements, you can choose to become a new member of Task Force 141, or you can apply to the Space and Time Administration to go to other units."
The shepherd turned his head and glanced at Holt, who motioned to him to speak.
"Sir, we apply to join Task Force 141!"
"Then welcome, rookies. Next, you will complete brand-new training, including high-level orbital airborne landing, mobile armor control, and even planetary single-person survival training..."
The training for new recruits sounds very interesting, especially the mobile armor, which is the hope of almost all men.
Several people are about to return to the Forge World, and Kerbal scientists will begin to customize combat uniforms according to their physical fitness.
New recruits do not actually join this force. Only after completing all training will they be physically strengthened and become real super soldiers.
Following McTavish, the shepherd asked: "Sir, can anyone really discover that that world is fake?"
"Of course, you should also know the latest one, Sam Fisher. But it will be difficult for you to meet him. He has been specially recruited by a department."
It only takes a few tens of seconds to jump from the synchronous orbit of Mars to the forging world of Earth by taking a spaceship.
At this moment, there is an extremely strange spacecraft parked on the synchronized orbital elevator of the Forge World.
The entire spaceship has not yet been completed, but judging from its already prototype appearance, it is different from all previous spaceships.
The current space-time administration spacecraft are mainly divided into intra-atmospheric combat or interstellar navy. In-atmosphere battleships are more in line with the definition of aircraft carriers. They are mainly based on ground fire suppression and launching small aircraft. The length of the battleships will not exceed one thousand meters.
Atmospheric civil war ships serve more ground combat units such as Task Force 141, serving as delivery platforms and close fire support delivery platforms.
The navy is simple and crude, with thicker armor, more adequate shields, larger barrels, and more launchers.
The violent aesthetics of big is good and more is beautiful are so vividly displayed on naval warships that these super warships, which are generally more than three kilometers in length, cannot be built on the ground and can only be assembled on higher-level orbital platforms.
The Navy pays attention to the doctrine of fire coverage. If a single salvo cannot knock down the opponent, it means that the gun barrel and power are not enough.
This makes the Navy's star battleships too heavy and unable to take off once they are captured by the planet's gravity.
But the warship assembled on the geosynchronous orbit platform is different. It is different from the Navy's aircraft full of multi-angular turrets. It is more like a ship sailing in the ocean of the planet. The shape of the ship is more like an old World War II ship.
The length of the hull is only a little over one kilometer, making the battering sharks on the side look like big fish next to the wooden boat.
Wait! Beat up a shark?
Beating the Shark is the last line of defense created by the Space and Time Administration for Rorschach. Wherever it is, it shows where Rorschach is.
McTavish immediately stopped the landing plan. He would not let the two new members next to him get close to Rorschach until it was absolutely safe.
The spaceship just stopped outside the planet. Shepherd and Holt didn't know why they were waiting. The commander didn't explain, and they wouldn't ask questions at will.
The two of them looked at the ships being built in the distance through the side glass. Holt asked curiously: "Does this ship look different?"
"This ship is called the Admiral Barron. It is the Navy's No. 1 and the director's personal flagship."
Baldwin Cedric Barron, the hero who ended the failed conquest, he and his crew gave their lives in exchange for Rorschach.
Rorschach's ships from now on will be called this name, and only this name.
'In memory of the great deceased!'
Rorschach watched the continuous construction process outside in the synchronous orbital cabin. The hull shell was made of orichalcum composite armor and solidified adamantine coating. Even a land battleship with orbital defense weapons could not penetrate it at close range.
protection.
Of course, only the hull has this configuration, and the other parts are all replaceable modular designs. When the Space and Time Administration has higher technology in the future, it can be quickly replaced.
Just sitting in front of the porthole, Luo Xia watched quietly.
It wasn't until the water glass in his hand was refilled by Adam that Rorschach woke up from his accustomed daze.
Suddenly, Rorschach said inexplicably: "Adam, if I ask you to leave for twenty years, will you agree?"
"If this is an order, I will comply."
For Krieger, every word Rorschach said was a command, and Adam was just waiting for Rorschach to say it.
"This is twenty years. You will live on a completely unfamiliar earth for twenty years. In these twenty years, you will face countless snoops and investigations. Anyone will doubt you, but neither I nor the Space-Time Administration will
I will provide you with any help. The stories I compile for you will be considered false as time goes by. You will receive torture, suspicion, and even pursuit. Do you still agree to this?"
"Which world?"
Adam did not hesitate, which made Rorschach put down the water glass in his hand in disappointment.
Rorschach said: "How I wish you could refuse..."
Adam looked at Rorschach and said, "But... I have a request."
"What request is there to hold a wedding for you and Mako Mori? I will give the order immediately!"
Adam put his hand on Rorschach's shoulder, as if to stop him from messing around.
Adam said word for word: "I hope you can secretly form a private army again, an army that belongs only to you!"
Rorschach said doubtfully: "But isn't it the Krieg Death Army?"
"But I will be gone for twenty years, and will you let Krieger surround you for twenty years?"
So far, only Adam is the only one in Krieg who can stay by Rorschach's side at any time. He has already gotten used to Adam, and Krieg won't find anyone more suitable for a while. Besides, Krieg won't replace Adam.
Krieger's loyalty is of course unquestionable, but Rorschach's every private action cannot be said to be unbridled, it can only be said to be the result of madness and randomness.
Once Rorschach loses Adam's close protection, Krieger may face dangers that he won't have time to react to.
Task Force 141 was summoned by Rorschach, and they can be trusted, but now that they have begun to expand their recruitment, it is hard to tell about new people from other worlds.
The Red Queen can be trusted, but the Red Queen also has her limits. A world without technology can impose an absolute blockade on her.
A personal private army that belongs only to Rorschach is Rorschach's best protection.
What's more, this is a secret force that will not appear in any public information, so no one will know that they exist.
Adam said: "Just like the global agents in the previous world, they must be widely present in every world controlled by the Space-Time Administration. Every position, once activated, must be a killer! At the same time, there must be someone proficient in assassination methods around you.
A protector, or even someone who can delay the opening of the portal for you."
"Actually, I'm really strong. Adam, you don't have to worry..."
"I know, but all battles are not just on the frontal battlefield. What about poisoning you through loopholes that the administration is not aware of? Or directly launching a total destruction attack on the planet?"
After saying these words, the cabin on the side was blown open, and a team from the Krieg Army rushed in. They blocked everything around them and began to check the safety environment.
Adam had previously blocked Krieg's psychic network to hide these conversations, which led the Krieg Death Army to think that Rorschach had been attacked.
The arriving Krieg Death Army aimed their guns at Adam, suspecting that this guy had betrayed everyone.
Rorschach calmed the restless Krieg and said everything was fine here.
The Krieg Death Army exited the room, and Rorschach said: "How do you want to arrange it?"
Adam shook his head and said: "You can only choose specific people, preferably people who don't even know me."
Rorschach smiled bitterly and said, "Where should I look for this?"
Adam said: "Universal wishing machine! In order to avoid exposure, you don't need to mobilize other supplies. I have a plan to deal with such a crisis. I asked Mori Mako to use communication in multiple worlds to secretly hide a large amount of supplies. This batch of supplies
It is not recorded anywhere, only she knows it.”
Rorschach's brows couldn't help but jump up. She looked at Adam in front of her in disbelief and said with a smile: "You have become bad too!"
"Just preventing possible crises!"
"You are asking me to put the establishment of customs on the agenda."
"This is the loophole I'm talking about! The current institutional establishment is still imperfect."
"Is there really no need to hold a wedding for you?"
Adam looked at the Admiral Barron outside and said calmly: "After completing this, I will erase Mori Mako's memory of this batch of supplies. At the same time, you must also cast a spell on me to make me forget this..."
