Xia Chujian, whom Huo Yushen was internally criticizing, was at this moment seriously considering this mission.
Whether she should do it or not.
Reason told her that she should explain the truth to everyone and then withdraw.
Wealth and status were indeed to be sought in danger, but if the degree of this "danger" was almost a 100% chance of failure, did she still need to consider it? No matter how great the meritorious service, if it required posthumous conferment, Xia Chujian felt she had the right to say no.
But Xia Chujian also knew that the biggest problem she faced now was the lack of information.
She was now certain that the information given by the base was incomplete, and much of it was misleading or even wrong.
But how much was missing, how much was misleading, and how much was intentionally omitted, she was not sure.
If the opponents they faced were only Exotic Beasts like the Alligator Dragons, she felt that it was not impossible to fight.
She had A Wù in hand, and the Alligator Dragons were just A Wù's food. She wouldn't even need her Marine Corps to make any sacrifices.
The Shang People, those mutated humans, were not within her scope of consideration at all.
Because although they had strange forms and could resist nuclear radiation, they were also normal Carbon-Based Lifeforms, and conventional Thermal Weapons could wipe them out.
What she was most unsure about now was the strength of the Deep Divers Haidagong.
Because she didn't understand, she had doubts, which was normal.
Xia Chujian thought about it over and over again by herself. Finally, she remembered the coordinates given to her by the deceased female Marine of the First Interstellar Fleet.
When she was dying, she told her that it was the nest of the Longevity Flying Fish...
If going there could directly find the Longevity Flying Fish nest, and she could quickly get a Longevity Flying Fish and retreat, would that be feasible?
Because she thought of those female soldiers of the First Interstellar Fleet, Xia Chujian inevitably thought of the five thousand Starry Sky Marines newly sent by the First Interstellar Fleet, who were with Chu Qingchen and those Nobles this time.
Xia Chujian had repeatedly reminded him to equip them with Mecha, but Chu Qingchen didn't take it seriously.
She narrowed her eyes. Since Chu Qingchen was unwilling to talk to her properly, she would just talk to those Starry Sky Marines directly.
Xia Chujian walked into her small suite, exchanged the Combat Suit inside for the Shao Siming Mecha outside.
The Combat Suit was inside, and the Shao Siming Mecha was worn outside.
At the same time, she pulled up the fully enclosed helmet and the visor that could cover half of her face.
She called out Seven Lù: "Seven Lù, I want to ask you something."
Seven Lù's childish voice immediately rang out crisply: "Master, please ask! As long as Seven Lù knows, it will definitely answer!"
Xia Chujian understood Seven Lù's implication, which was that if it didn't know, it couldn't answer.
But as for whether it knew or not, wasn't it up to it to decide? Where could Xia Chujian go to verify? However, Xia Chujian was used to Seven Lù being reserved with her, and she had come to terms with it.
Anyway, as long as Seven Lù could do what she wanted it to do for her, she didn't care what Seven Lù was hiding.
Who didn't have a little secret? Xia Chujian calmed herself down and said softly, "If I asked you to imitate the Mechanical Intelligence of my Interstellar Airship to take over the communication system of the Interstellar Airship sent by D499, could you do it?"
Seven Lù immediately said: "No problem, Master! The Mechanical Intelligence of the Interstellar Airship is the most basic Mechanical Intelligence. It's too easy to take over."
Xia Chujian emphasized: "The traces you leave behind can only be those of this Interstellar Airship's Mechanical Intelligence. You can't let people discover that there is another Mechanical Intelligence involved. Can you do it?"
Seven Lù understood Xia Chujian's intention at this time. There was a hint of a smile in its childish voice as it said, "Master, don't worry. The Mechanical Intelligence of this Interstellar Airship is already very skilled at accepting my instructions."
"It treats these instructions as its own generated logical programs, so there will only be its traces, not Seven Lù's!"
Xia Chujian felt that she understood, but not completely.
She then made up her mind that even if she couldn't major in Mechanical Intelligence in college, she would definitely take courses related to Mechanical Intelligence.
With a Mechanical Intelligence like Seven Lù by her side, she had to study.
After receiving Seven Lù's affirmative answer, Xia Chujian quietly activated the Shao Siming Mecha's stealth mode.
She left the Interstellar Airship parked at the Shang People's tribal village alone and flew towards the Equator.
This time, she still used a speed of three hundred miles per minute.
On the way, she contacted Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng separately and learned that the locations where they landed were not the five Interstellar Airships she had seen on the Equator before.
Then she could be sure that the location of the five Interstellar Airships she had seen before was where Chu Qingchen and the others had landed.
Thirty minutes later, Xia Chujian arrived at the landing site of the five Interstellar Airships she had seen during her previous southward exploration.
As soon as she arrived, she noticed several Starry Sky Marines, wearing only Military Exoskeletons, slowly emerging from the bottom Hold entrances of the Airships.
It was the morning of the second day after their landing.
According to standard practice, it was time for them to go out on a mission.
Xia Chujian was anxious and quickly said to Seven Lù, "Can you take over these Interstellar Airships immediately?! I'm afraid it'll be too late!"
She had originally hoped to resolve the matter quietly, without causing a complete falling out.
But now it seemed there was no time for subtlety.
Compared to the lives of those five thousand Starry Sky Marines, what was a falling out?
At Xia Chujian's command, Seven Lù immediately acted.
It directed Xia Chujian to quickly fly to one of the Interstellar Airships, attach its mechanical arm to the Airship's signal emitter, and use it to quietly infiltrate and connect to the Airship's communication system.
Using the internal communication network of these five Interstellar Airships, it went with the flow and took control of all five Airships' control systems.
However, Seven Lù also quietly did a little extra, leaving a backdoor in the control systems of the five Airships.
Soon, the downward-sloping passageway at the bottom Hold entrances of the five Interstellar Airships suddenly tilted upwards.
The few Starry Sky Marines who were slowly walking out immediately fell backward, knocked head over heels by the suddenly rising exit passage.
They slid straight back to the small room where they had just exited.
The internal structure of each Interstellar Airship was identical.
This was the area for disinfection and purification.
Under Seven Lù's control, the nuclear radiation purification facilities in this room were immediately activated, and the Marines contaminated with nuclear radiation were immediately purified and cleaned.
Then, all the Hold doors were urgently closed.
Chu Qingchen and the other four happened to be on these five Interstellar Airships respectively.
When Seven Lù took over their Interstellar Airships' communication systems, they had just finished a virtual network meeting, discussed their action plan for the day, and were gathering on the virtual display screen, drinking coffee.
"What's going on?!"
"I can't open the door to my Captain's Room!"
"My control buttons aren't working!"
Their voices grew increasingly panicked, and then something even more terrifying happened.
A huge virtual screen rose up on each level of the five Interstellar Airships.
It displayed a close-up view of the planet, as well as the scene of the Shang People tribe's settlement that had just been Rocket Launchered.
Xia Chujian's voice rang out simultaneously on all five Interstellar Airships.
"To all the Starry Sky Marines of the First Interstellar Fleet, I am First Lieutenant Xia Chujian of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet."
"I must inform you that this planet is filled with high doses of nuclear radiation and unknown viruses."
"The nuclear radiation and viruses here have no effect on Gene Evolvers."
"But they are deadly to ordinary people whose Genes have not evolved."
"Ordinary people will immediately lose their ability to act if they are slightly contaminated, and can only wait for death."
"Therefore, in order to complete the task assigned by the Military, you must wear Mecha."
"Military Exoskeletons are useless, you must wear Mecha."
"And after going out wearing Mecha, you must ensure that no part of the Mecha is missing and that there are no loopholes."
"Because nuclear radiation and viruses are all-pervasive."
"I have mentioned it to your superiors many times, reminding them to let you wear Mecha, but they have refused."
"I can't stand by and watch you go to your deaths, so I am now temporarily using the Mechanical Intelligence of my Airship to take over these five Interstellar Airships."
"I will not deprive your Captains of their command, I only intend to give the Starry Sky Marines here twelve hours to train in Mecha."
"Starry Sky Marines, rest assured, Mecha are not difficult equipment to master."
"The Starry Sky Marines on the D1, D235, and D337 Cruisers performing this mission only spent twelve hours learning to pilot the Mecha."
"You are the same as them, and you will have no problem learning to pilot the Mecha."
"Now, your captains step forward. I will open the bottom hold's weapons and equipment depot for you to select your Mecha."
"The Starry Sky Fighters there can be switched into Mecha."
"Now tell me, are you willing to learn?"
Xia Chujian finished speaking in one breath, and the Starry Sky Marines in the bottom hold were stunned for a moment.
But soon, they reacted and began to curse at Chu Qingchen and the others.
"You turtle son surnamed Chu! Get your ass out here and take a beating!"
"You don't treat our lives as lives, and we won't treat your life as a life!"
"Go practice with the Mecha!"
"Such a good opportunity! Hurry, hurry!"
"Qian Song and the others have already gone out! Will they be okay?!"
Of course, there were also a few who didn't believe Xia Chujian.
They shouted, "Everyone, calm down! Calm down!"
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"This is insubordination! Disobeying orders! You will be court-martialed when we get back!"
These people's shouts calmed everyone down.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, when the few Starry Sky Marines who had been "intercepted" by Xia Chujian halfway came rolling back.
They gasped for breath, struggling to speak, "Outside… outside there's really serious nuclear radiation…"
"We haven't even left the hold, just at… just at… the hatch…"
Before they could finish speaking, they were clutching their throats, writhing on the ground in pain.
It turned out that they had only just come into contact with the nuclear radiation outside, and at this moment, the Gene Chain Bases in their bodies had been irreversibly destroyed.
They were in so much pain that they couldn't speak.
A medic ran over to examine them and said excitedly, "Genetic Disease! They have a serious Genetic Disease!"
"Qian Song is from my hometown! He's as strong as an ox! How could he get a serious Genetic Disease after only being out for a few minutes!"
This is the first update. The second update will be at 1 p.m.
It's Monday, a reminder for everyone's Recommendation Ticket! ()
