The track elevator is not an elevator, but a huge transportation system. There are more than a dozen vertical rails spread throughout the elevator. The upper and lower trains are extremely capable of transporting materials and personnel.
When you ride in it, you will feel a lot of pressure when you start to accelerate. Once the train leaves the gravity circle, you will experience weightlessness. Therefore, the train has strict weight limits and regulations on carrying items.
Andre didn't bring any dangerous goods, just a few changes of underwear. His ID was checked and he was released.
Arriving in the universe without words, the military port was already busy. People from each district were sent together to say goodbye to acquaintances. Andrew discovered that there were only a few people in the hazardous materials disposal unit, which did not look like a combat unit at all.
"Hello, my name is Jack, nice to meet you."
"Andrew." Someone took the initiative to talk, and Andrew smiled back.
"I didn't expect that this hazardous material disposal unit would only consist of us." He could point one hand over, and Jack seemed disappointed: "I originally thought it would be a dangerous position."
Andrew thought so too. Unfortunately, the reality was cruel. If he were not in the combat unit, he would definitely apply for transfer again.
"Now, except for the troops with combat missions that have not been reorganized, all the maintenance troops have been dismantled. I really don't know who the bastard gave the order to destroy the maintenance troops that had already formed a good combat effectiveness."
We have been training hard for a year, but I didn’t expect that it would turn out like this just after we were ready.”
It is not that simple for a mixed force of multiple arms to form combat effectiveness. It requires a lot of training. It only takes more than a year to maintain the force. The front-line combat troops are all transferred from other forces and have to undergo a lot of training before they can be effective.
Tacit understanding.
"Yes, I was originally in the combat unit and would be able to go to the universe soon. I didn't expect to be here with just a transfer order." "I don't know what you want us to do?"
Jack seemed to have found a confidant: "I am the MS driver of the Army and Marine Corps maintenance force. Which ship are you from?"
"MS pilot of the Victoria."
Jack was very envious: "So you're not driving a Doom mobile suit with a solar furnace? Our navy is still using that old Union-produced underwater aircraft."
"I have less than 500 hours driving the Doom. I used to drive an Ironman."
"Iron Man is actually not bad, but the old-fashioned cockpit is a bit unacceptable. It's not what the designers of the People's Revolutionary Alliance think. Now we, whether union or AEU, use a 360-degree full-view cockpit. Iron Man
But you are still using the VR perspective, aren’t you tired of wearing surveillance glasses?”
"It's good to get used to it, but I also like the sense of openness of Doom." Ironman is indeed not inferior to Zhanqi and AEU-9 in terms of performance, but the comfort is completely lacking. The biggest problem is that Ironman has reduced the volume of the cockpit in order to increase defense.
It is compressed and cannot accommodate the full-view system, and the driver does not have much room to move. Basically, he just sticks the monitoring glasses on and is fixed on the seat to operate.
However, this perspective of Iron Man is still used in the past, and it was once the world's leading technology.
The two quickly became friends, and they entered the spaceship with three others and flew to where they were going.
No one knew what they were about to see. After entering the universe, they had lost their sense of direction and had no idea where the pilot would take them.
After flying at full speed for almost five hours, they simply ate something on the spacecraft.
"Look at that." Jack, who was looking out the window and looking bored, suddenly shouted.
Andre, who was doing meditation exercises, was woken up and looked out the window.
What is that? A giant shipyard?
A huge shipyard appeared quietly in the universe. The huge metal creation was not ostentatious at all, but it gave people an indescribable sense of solemnity.
Sparks flashed from time to time in the dock. This was because the dock was undergoing a comprehensive renovation of the outer shell of the Enterprise. The huge dock was several times larger than the Enterprise itself and could accommodate more spacecraft like the Enterprise.
"Is this our destination? Look at that spaceship, which country built it? The shape is too strange." Human spaceships are still basically square and square, focusing on practicality, and are basically tin boxes.
The shape of the Enterprise is absolutely groundbreaking compared to spacecraft on Earth, whether it is a round plate or a V-shaped structure with thrusters on top.
"The engine part and the main body are supported by such a thin structure. Aren't they afraid of disintegration?" Jack asked questions about such a bold design.
No one answered, the spacecraft just sailed into the dock.
A gloomy-looking Billy Katagiri is waiting for the assistant assigned to him. He was dumped by his girl. Now only work can give him solace, so he ended his vacation early and returned to the Enterprise.
The huge dock was all automated, so there were not many people inside. Andrew and Jack became quiet as soon as they got off the boat, because they saw Billy with a black face, who was as dangerous as explosives that could explode.
"I am Billy Katagiri, the chief scientific advisor of the Starship Enterprise. You will work for me from now on. Do you have any questions?" Billy's eyes were so heavy that they could kill him. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days.
Already.
"Sir, is the Enterprise this strange spaceship?" Jack was bolder and asked loudly.
"Yes, but I don't like such weak-minded questions. You'd better think carefully about your questions, otherwise I will throw you back to the earth." He vented all the depression of lovelorn on his subordinates.
Darling, are you taking advantage of this? It looks like life will be difficult in the future.
Although he is from the union, Jack really doesn't know the senior Billy Katagiri. The person who suddenly disappeared two years ago has been forgotten.
Andre has a question: "Are the hazardous materials disposal units a front-line combat unit?"
"It's not a combat force, but it's more dangerous than a combat force." The answer ended.
This person deserves to be beaten so much. Can't he say more? Everyone has a lot of questions.
"Sir, do we still maintain troops now?"
"The maintenance force has been reorganized. There will no longer be any maintenance force. You standing here and the soldiers sent to various departments are all members of the Starship Force."
Yes, the maintenance force has been reorganized and has become the dust of history. From now on, there will only be starship force.
Starfleet Force? Did they actually change the designation of the entire force?
Everyone's expressions froze. They didn't know whether this was good or bad. Wasn't their original duty to deal with the Anti-Earth Federation? What would be their mission after the adaptation?
Someone raised this question, and Billy glanced at them: "From now on, your mission is to assist me in dealing with dangerous alien creatures or alien objects, and to prevent dangerous alien materials from falling to the earth and causing losses. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
?”
Um, crazy, aliens have come out, what is going on in this world? (To be continued.)
