Deep in the frozen soil and rock formations, the noise is a different experience.
Ronan stared at the virtual workspace for a long time, looking at the complex and evolving symbols on it. He felt a little tired, so he leaned against the cold metal wall and closed his eyes. Vibrating noises squeezed in from all sides, causing his body to sway. He didn't mean it
To sense and distinguish, the surrounding environment is automatically reflected in the mind:
The "Soil Patroller" has just excavated the working surface, with six alloy limbs inserted into it. Against the slow-flowing frozen nitrogen, it salvages and repairs node equipment in the formation cavity.
In the ground area fifty meters above the head, a large number of "iron-eating beetles" are continuing to bite and corrode the surface, sucking the solid ice and frozen soil, looking for all metal elements within their coverage, including of course artificial creations of corresponding materials;
The "Electric Hydralisk" that coexists with them swings its huge body and meanders among the swarms of insects, continuously absorbing the waste materials that the beetles have devoured, digested and excreted, and continues to grow its body.
It is also these "Electric Hydralisks" whose heavy hammer-like tails beat the ground from time to time, forming detection waves that can shuttle through thick ice and frozen soil, looking for targets and guiding the beetles in the direction.
Further up in the sky, the battle for air supremacy continues. The space-time oscillations of strong interference in outer space and the beam cannons launched intensively by space-based weapons cover the surrounding area without distinction. There are also a large number of condensed slurry bubbles dropped, as well as
The instantaneous low temperature, which is close to absolute zero, minimizes the physiological activity of these monsters.
But at the same time, at least four or five medium-to-large weapon platforms fell in the nearby area. The impact and explosion on the ground were extremely shocking.
The unique death ripple of Ming creation.
Of course, their remains became a meal for the "iron-eating beetles" and the basic material for the "electric hydralisks" to grow their bodies.
And in this intertwined and ups and downs main theme, the temporary combination gathers and disperses the uncertain "war field" spiritual pressure, like a sharp needle that quenches poison, pricking the heart from time to time.
All of the above are not perceived through soul power, but are abilities obtained naturally from more than 1,600 hours and 16 working weeks of continuous high-intensity operation under the standards of the Tianyuan Empire.
According to Xianzhu’s words:
Even if you are a new soldier who has lived on the front line of the battlefield for such a long time, you can no longer call yourself a rookie. You must have the position of a 'veteran'.
However, the requirements for Ronan are not as simple as "veteran". For a professional and technical talent with the rank of lieutenant, the requirements will only be higher.
Currently, Ronan is the chief officer of a field mobile maintenance company. He leads a team of 62 people who are not full, riding the classic "Soil Patroller" platform and traveling through the permanently frozen ice and thick soil.
At this time, the asteroid Tonghuan-28758 has entered the gravitational boundary of the "Red Wheel Rift", orbiting the deep space magic eye, and changed its orbit three times in a row in the second week, seventh week, and fifteenth week.
Officially entered the inner battlefield of the Two Star Gate Battle.
At this stage, the relevant arrangements of the empire have been made clear. The asteroid Tonghuan-28758 has undergone emergency transformation and construction, becoming a first-level intervention node in the inner battlefield, and continues to move towards the predetermined position.
Such maneuvers will not be smooth sailing.
According to the latest information: Since the "red"
Since the revolution of the "Run Rift", the mass of Hitomihuan-28758 asteroid has been reduced by one-twentieth in the fierce offensive and defensive battles; in the previous 16 working weeks, the construction and transformation project that was completed with great effort has been destroyed as high as 27%
.
So much so that the temporary Third Engineer Brigade had to cancel its original evacuation plan and devote all its energy to maintenance and repair work despite the flames of war igniting on the asteroid.
The latest information conveyed at the lieutenant level today is that the temporary reduction in the strength of the Third Brigade has reached 19%, and this proportion will rapidly expand in the future.
It is against this background that the atmosphere in "Soil Patrol" is very low, and everyone remains silent.
Either they are busy at their respective workstations, or like Ronan, they close their eyes and rest their minds. Some even use external stimulation such as drugs to enter deep sleep and seize the time to restore their energy.
Invisible pressure squeezes everyone's heart.
Not to mention those physical and psychological problems, just the "electric hydralisks" and "iron-eating beetles" above the head are very fatal.
Fifty meters is definitely not a safe distance.
"Boss, the higher-ups and the security team have confirmed that there are still 3 of them." Not far away, the young chief of staff, Mr. Lu Yi, broke the silence and reported the number of "Electric Hydralisks".
Field operations are in ultra-low temperature environments. Even if the "Soil Ranger" can guarantee the basic living environment, everyone is still fully armed. Not to mention the basic exoskeleton, there is also a layer of power armor on the outside to avoid accidents.
There wasn't even a chance to save myself.
Under such circumstances, everyone had to rely on communication channels to communicate, but Lu Yi still subconsciously lowered his voice, like a whisper. Okay.
For example, if you speak louder, you may disturb those troublesome long insects above your head.
For the "Soil Ranger" underground maintenance platform, the "Electric Hydralisk" is indeed super troublesome.
Their heavy hammer-like tails can pierce into the soil and form more than a dozen "long tails" hundreds of meters long, capturing medium and large underground targets such as "Soil Patrollers" and instantly emitting powerful electromagnetic pulses.
, destroy equipment, kill personnel.
Even if this method doesn't work, he can use his long tail to continuously transport the "iron-eating beetles" on the ground, turning the platform into a meal for massive "iron-eating beetles" in a short period of time.
It can be said that it is a big killer weapon specifically targeted at "Soil Patrollers".
The ecological niche between the two sides is a bit like the submarines and anti-submarine aircraft on the other side of the earth.
In fact, both the "Electric Hydralisk" and the "Iron-eating Beetle" were reassembled, grown, and manifested in the special environment of the asteroid on the basis of the corpses of those extraterrestrial species during the asteroid offensive and defensive war.
A brand-new variety. It is aimed at sites constructed under the frozen soil of asteroid ice and engineering platforms for field operations.
Regarding Master Lu Yi's report, Ronan did not open his eyes and just said "hmm".
Mr. Lu Yi hesitated for a moment and then said: "Boss, this is a great opportunity for surface containment. Can we stop rotating operations and all go to the work stations... finish the work early and evacuate early. It is too dangerous to stay here all the time."
.”
Ronan still didn't open his eyes or respond.
He did not explicitly refuse, so Mr. Lu Yi became more enthusiastic and continued to persuade: "Team B has dug the working surface, and there is no problem in opening fifty work stations. If we cooperate,
If the adjustment is done well, the problem can be solved in about an hour and a half, um, two hours at most...otherwise it will take four or five hours, and air and surface support may not be able to last that long."
In the Mobile Fifth Company of the Dissatisfaction Division, many positions were filled on a temporary basis. Mr. Lu Yi served as "Division Chief", which was also a temporary vacancy. In fact, he played the role of a correspondent, helping Ronan handle some chores and communicate with others.
of work.
This "Secretary Chief" was chosen by Lieutenant Qiao Shu, the commander of the Seventh Battalion, for Ronan, and he explained it in detail.
In addition to professional ability, there are several considerations for letting Mr. Lu Yi take on this role: firstly, among all the people in the 5th Mobile Company and even the 7th Engineer Battalion, he is the closest in age to Ronan, although he is also a few years older;
Secondly, Lu Yi has a lively personality, and he got along well with Ronan during this period, as well as with other people; thirdly... maybe it was during his professional education stage, and he took the course 'Rituals and Ancient Characters' as an elective.
In any case, as a young man with relatively little qualifications, Master Lu Yi was able to survive continuous battles and various harsh environments, and was recognized by Lieutenant Qiao Shu, which proved that he was capable.
There is a reason for such a person to chatter endlessly to his own boss...
The fifth mobile company led by Ronan is already the seventeenth field operation team dispatched by the Seventh Engineer Battalion. Including Ronan, everyone on average has six to eight rounds of field operation experience, and the field operation time is at least 500.
hours or more.
The problem is: with such frequent field operations, almost everyone is injured and extremely exhausted; the original senior commander of the Fifth Company was killed.
Morale is low; many new personnel have been added and need to be adjusted...
The new chief officer, Ronan, is leading the team independently for the first time.
The old team and the new leader will not be smooth at first.
Before this, Ronan always acted as a deputy, cooperating with the chief officer, most of the time it was Xianzhu, and sometimes it was Qiao Shu.
In the "deputy" position, Ronan did a good job.
With solid maintenance skills, superior perception ability, and the unique ability to specialize in space-time configuration of the Seventh Engineer Battalion, as his experience increases, his judgment also improves, allowing him to always complete "reminders" and "repairs" in a timely manner.
His work was highly appreciated by Lieutenant Qiao Shu.
It is precisely because of his continuous maturity and progress, and also because of the loss of a large number of grassroots officers, that it is reasonable for people like Ronan to move forward.
Moreover, it is now a critical period for the "demi-plane" of the asteroid main base carrying the "Crystal Array". Talents like Ronan, whose archives indicate "specialization in space-time configuration", must also
Place him in a more important position.
It's just that the truth is the truth, but it's not that easy to actually do it.
Ronan sighed and opened his eyes: "Please contact Medical Officer Tao Xian... She should be cultivating the 'tinder'. The signal is not smooth. Please make a trip."
Master Lu Yi suddenly became energetic: "Are you going to wake up Group A?"
"No, just preparing for routine inspection."
"Well……"
Master Lu Yi was inevitably a little disappointed, but he still had a good character after all, so he curled his lips and went to find someone. Before leaving, he couldn't help but said something irrelevant to the current situation:
"Boss, I've been reading for a long time. What's this sentence you wrote?
What do you mean?"
"Aren't you taking the optional ancient calligraphy for rituals?"
"I can see that the ancient Chinese characters for "rites and sacrifices" are quite good! I can recognize the word 'I' and 'time and space' in the whole sentence...can that be interpreted as 'river bank'?"
Ronan also looked at the sentences written in ancient Chinese characters in the virtual workspace, smiled, and replied:
"We never left time and space, we only walked slowly along the shore."
"I can't finish writing... I can't make up for it, so I can only owe it to you first and then push it back, sweat!"
