On the desolate alien land, a convoy was moving slowly. There were three armed armored vehicles at the front and rear, four transport vehicles and a tractor-trailer in the middle. A bloated-looking mecha squatted on the car. There is a mecha following on each side, and a reconnaissance vehicle ahead to explore the road.

"Attention all units, we are about to leave the safe zone. No enemy has been found yet. We will meet up with the mecha warriors who support us in thirty minutes."

In the overall communication channel, the voice from the reconnaissance vehicle rang out. Not only did they have to drive the reconnaissance vehicle to the front, they also needed to control the unmanned reconnaissance drone to detect the surrounding situation. The Federation has many reconnaissance missions in the near-earth space of alien planets. Satellites, the critical situation at Base No. 3, and other war zones require the resource support of reconnaissance satellites.

"It would be great if there were airplanes. My butt hurts from the car ride." Shen Mu, who was sitting in the transport truck, complained with a walkie-talkie: "This alien planet doesn't even have an atmosphere, nor oxygen, and the thin air It’s all carbon dioxide. The average temperature is minus 55 degrees and the lowest temperature is minus 133 degrees. You have to wear a helmet and protective clothing when you come out. Alas, I still fantasized about running freely on an alien planet and becoming a trapeze artist."

The transfer process is extremely boring. There are no man-made roads on the surface of the alien planet. In order to ensure the primary premise of survival, the vehicles used on the alien planet have poor shock absorber performance. Therefore, both speed and ride comfort are very low. In comparison, mechas that run on two legs are much more suitable.

"Is it Second Lieutenant Shen Mu?" someone asked on the communication channel.

"It's me, who are you?"

"I am Dr. Stefan." Dr. Stefan, who like Ji Galaxy was transferred in advance due to its importance, corrected himself after introducing himself: "Strictly speaking, there is oxygen on alien planets, such as carbon dioxide. The gas itself contains oxygen atoms. In addition to the photosynthesis of plants, we can also separate it through technical means and create the oxygen suitable for our human survival. As early as more than 60 years ago, Yingzhou The alien probe has conducted related experiments and successfully separated the oxygen atoms of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the alien star, producing about 5 grams of oxygen, which is equivalent to the amount of oxygen an astronaut needs to breathe for about 10 minutes of normal activity. , the output of the corresponding equipment at that time was approximately 10 grams of oxygen per hour..."

Shen Mu was bored, and everyone else was equally bored. When scientists started doing science popularization, some people were curious and asked questions.

"Dr. Stefan, don't say it was more than sixty years ago. Don't say it was me at that time. My parents were not even born. Even I was just born. Let's talk about now."

"Now, based on the total population of our alien planet, the production of oxygen is more than enough. With oxygen, artificial water can be realized. We now have a variety of related technologies, the most commonly used... ...To put it simply, hydrogen is burned in oxygen to generate water. This water can be used to grow crops and green plants to supply our food needs. Green plants can also create new oxygen through photosynthesis, forming a virtuous cycle. Alas... …”

Dr. Stefan sighed as he spoke: "If there is no threat from the empire, we can use the method of building a living base to immigrate to alien stars, and use alien stars as a stepping stone to explore the entire solar system, and even It’s about letting alien planets become our outposts for exploring the universe.”

Chen Mu suddenly asked: "Dr. Stefan, are you researching jump gate technology? Can you tell me about the empire's jump gate?"

"Well, you can tell me something that doesn't need to be kept secret." Dr. Stefan pondered slightly: "Before the discovery of the Empire, our federation had two technological research directions for interstellar travel. One was jump engine technology, and the other was warp engine technology. , this is also called curvature engine technology. Both technologies can achieve faster-than-light flight in the cognitive sense, allowing us to span interstellar space with a distance of light years."

"To put it simply, the so-called warp engine creates an artificial "bubble" of normal space and time around the spacecraft, allowing the spacecraft to safely sail at several orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light while avoiding Despite the relativistic problem of time dilation, this technology still sails in our normal dimensions and is sustainable."

"The empire's jump gate, that is, the jump engine technology is different. It is somewhat like a wormhole. The basic principle is to move through folded space. Well, to put it simply, it is not continuous in our normal dimensional space. It is a navigation, but it is similar to teleportation and appears directly from one coordinate to another."

Chen Mu continued to ask: "Then how far have we researched? Can we create a jump gate and directly counterattack the Imperial Star? Open a jump gate, throw 10,000 nuclear warheads, and blow them up."

"Unfortunately, we haven't been able to study it yet, because we have never captured a complete imperial jump device, and the research progress is very slow with only some wreckage." After Dr. Stefan answered, he added: "But you don't have to I'm worried that because of the special nature of the jump gate, it is impossible to choose the jump location at will. They could only come to the near-Earth space of the alien planet before. After we released the jamming device, they can only use the jump through the relevant equipment on the surface of the alien planet. Technology comes to alien surfaces."

Chen Mu suddenly realized: "Does that mean that as long as we destroy all their jump devices on the alien planet, we can leave them alone and helpless and then drive them to extinction?"

"Theoretically, that's the case." Dr. Stefan laughed: "But didn't you just say you were going to counterattack the Empire Star? If all the jump devices are destroyed, how can we counterattack the Empire Star and throw away all the nuclear weapons? Where was the past?"

"Haha..." Shen Mu sneered twice: "Throwing nuclear weapons, I finally understand. If one day they really won't throw nuclear weapons, because after throwing them away, the environment of the Empire Star will be worse than that of Alien Planet. It’s so bad, they will only try to occupy the Empire Star at the cost of countless lives.”

These words silenced the communication channel. Everyone knew that what Shen Mu said was true. Compared to a planet that had been baptized by tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, what mankind needed more was a livable planet.

From a long-term perspective, this option is the most beneficial, but it will ultimately require countless people to sacrifice for it.

"I didn't expect Second Lieutenant Shen Mu to be an anti-war person."

"Anti-war bullshit. If that day comes, I will definitely rush to the front line... to repair mechas. We have to fight when we have to fight. If we don't fight them, they will attack us. I just... just..."

"Just don't want too many people to die?"

"Yes, but how can it be possible that no one died in the war?" Shen Mu sighed again.

The communication channel fell silent again, and Ji Xinghe, who was in the sixteenth-generation standard mecha, suddenly asked: "Dr. Stefan, how many jump devices do they have on the alien planet?"

"Currently we are able to determine two, the specific location is unknown, there may be a third one, but at the moment there are only three at most, because jump gates cannot be built casually, and the alien planet is always in motion. It must be combined with sufficient computing power to achieve the jump."

"What's wrong, Lao Ji?" Shen Mu's voice became excited: "Are you ready to do something big?"

Ji Xinghe responded calmly: "Just asking."

"No, based on my understanding of you, you will definitely not ask casually." Shen Mu didn't believe it: "If you really want to do such a big thing, you must take me with you."

Su He glanced at Ji Rong Xinyue, who was sitting quietly beside him, and said, "Chen Mu, are you crazy? No matter how strong I am, he is only one person. What are you talking about?"

"Who said Lao Ji is one person? Lao Ji, I, and you. Although the camera can't kill the Imperial Orangutan, it can kill the Imperial Monkey." Shen Mu retorted: "Brother Zuo is here, too. When the time comes, we will bring the blind, lame, deaf and crippled people with us. Wow, the old man and the remnant soldier company, plus a great mechanic and a timid war reporter, created an indisputable miracle. Speaking of which, My blood is boiling."

"I'm not talking about Lao Ji alone, but Lao Ji is just a person." Su He corrected him and then pursued: "But please tell me clearly first why you are a great mechanic and I am a timid one. War correspondent?"

"It's all the same. Don't pay too much attention to the details. It's all about character. There must always be a negative teaching material in a team, like a green leaf to set off the red flower." Shen Mu said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you, Lao Su. Time will give you a twist, but at the most critical moment, the timid war reporter pressed the detonation button regardless of life and death, tsk tsk tsk..."

If Ji Rong Xinyue hadn't been sitting next to him, Su He would have definitely scolded him. If this wasn't on the surface of the alien planet, he would have definitely rushed to the transport truck where Shen Mu was and started fighting, even if he couldn't actually fight him. Chen Mu, who followed Ji Xinghe and Xinxin to practice martial arts.

"Chen Mu, why don't you retire and write novels? I will definitely subscribe to you then."

"It has the final say. After I retire, I will write a novel about Lao Ji. It will be called The Old Man and the Mecha."

"This name doesn't sound good. It's better to call it Mecha and Knife. I'm good at using knives, and I fight like a knife."

"Your name is not good enough. It sounds like a very ordinary plot and a very tough one. You will be thrown into the street."

"What is the direct relationship between the plot and the name? Wouldn't you make it lighter, more passionate, and less sensational?"

The quarrel between Chen Mu and Su He made everyone in the transfer team feel a little more relaxed. Ji Xinghe, who was driving a mecha and following the convoy, received a text message from Zuo Zuo.

"Instructor, master, when you become a super mecha warrior and have your own team, remember to take me with you. The blind and lame will definitely be willing to join you. You can't dislike us for being disabled."

Ji Xinghe pondered for a moment and then solemnly replied: "As long as you are willing to believe me."

Special-level mecha warriors have their own teams. The talents of ace mecha warriors are called teams. Ji Chenxing was once a member of Han Li's team.

When talking about the team, Ji Xinghe forced himself not to think about Ji Chenxing. He thought of Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun. It is said that he is a very powerful sniper and is very good at management. When the time comes, he should also have Chen Xun in his team.

Please reserve a seat quickly.

However, if Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun comes over, the team should not be condescending to him. Maybe... they can become a team. Is this ambition?

"Attention all units, turn immediately, turn immediately."
