Chapter 481 Frontier Outpost (1)
Tens of thousands of miles away from the frontline outpost, a complex fleet is slowly approaching.
Including supply ships, reconnaissance ships, transport ships, and main combat attack ships.
The fleet set off from Nemesis 216 and arrived at its destination after sailing at full speed for half a year.
"It should be the reinforcements invited by Professor Taylor."
A middle-aged man of medium build in a military uniform leaned his head back on the chair and sighed, "I can finally sleep peacefully."
Due to the problems of the social system, the frontline defenders have always been ignored. For a long time in the past, even because of the serious shortage of garrison forces, they had to attract criminals to serve here at the cost of reducing their sentences.
"Fortunately, when the Zerg attacked, some troops completed the installation of new weapons."
Thinking back to the tragedy that happened at the frontier post, the general couldn't help but shudder. He had just taken over this position not long ago, and he thought he would be able to live a leisurely life until retirement.
As a result, the Zerg, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared and became active.
In fact, after being attacked for the first time, more than a dozen meteorites covered with Zerg spores appeared one after another. They suddenly changed direction and flew from unknown deep space.
Fortunately, they were all intercepted by the missile system, otherwise, the garrison would have been wiped out.
"Report to the general, the fleet has been identified, led by Professor Taylor, the New World Bank, and Roche Biology."
Professor Taylor is the main person in charge of the first ring of the plan, and he has many highly talented breakaways under him, so the general naturally knows the opponent.
And the New World Bank is an interstellar enterprise that has been passed down for thousands of years. People who have no information have heard of the other party's name.
Roche Bio is the only exception.
In just a few months, it has bloomed in multiple lines and its volume has skyrocketed. Although it is well-known in the hearts of stockholders, the front line that is almost isolated from the outside world is different. No one has heard of it at all, and they have no intention to pay attention to it. .
"The radar shows that the fleet consists of eleven spaceships." As he spoke, the intelligence officer sitting next to the general quickly tapped on the screen, and the far-sighted device took a picture of the fleet that was slowing down.
New World Bank.
Institute of Genes and Life.
"This strange sign represents Roche's creature?"
Looking at the badge engraved on the main battleship, the intelligence officer sighed inexplicably, "I'll check this company."
Not long after, all kinds of information about Roche's creatures were gathered in the command room, whether positive or negative, so that everyone had a clear understanding of it.
The frontline outpost is located on an ancient planet.
According to legend, the mothership carrying human embryos once docked here for a period of time, and it is the real Nemesis 1.
Lu Li, who had been in the cabin for nearly six months, could not help but smile on his face as he watched the planet in his sight zoom in through the porthole.
Deep space voyages are indeed full of dullness and tediousness. Many crew members in charge of combat positions cannot bear the loneliness and apply to enter the cryogenic sleep system.
This thing is a necessary device for long-distance navigation, once it is turned on, it can almost stop life activities.
However, Lu Li didn't do that. He had a lot of vitality and hated entering the cryo-sleep state. The same was true for Celine and Luo Yi. They had a long and long lifespan, so there was no need to enter the sleep cabin.
"Is everyone awake?" Lu Li glanced behind him.
"All staff are awake and are supplementing nutrition."
After half a year of getting along day and night, Miss Celine is no longer so restrained, and has learned to put respect in her heart instead of words.
As for those crew members who are awake, they need to eat some fluid food to make up for the loss of water and awaken some body functions.
"I hope there are some decent food in the front line." Lu Li sighed again.
After the fresh vegetables and meat are eaten, they can only eat toast with various jams, and then only energy bars and nutrient solutions are left.
The former is slightly sweet and the latter is bland.
"Let the medical team collect everyone's physical data and count how many crew members can participate in the battle at any time."
"Go and ask the supply ship, how much food is there?"
"We have to find a way to mobilize some resources."
Pressing down the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lu Li explained the precautions one by one, and Celine was also willing to act as secretary.
As for the intelligent assistance system.
It and its pilot are working hard to prepare for the landing.
It is worth mentioning that there is no airport on this military planet, because doing so can avoid possible malicious attacks.
Most importantly, each spacecraft can theoretically achieve vertical take-off and landing, and fly in interstellar space and the atmosphere by switching modes.
"The driving state will be switched soon."
"Attention all ship members and departments, be careful shaking."
During the mechanical notification sound, one could feel the ship's body shaking slightly. Lu Li looked down at the planet in front of him through the tiny porthole.
From space, it appears earthy yellow, and occasionally a few touches of green can be seen, which are also scattered.
It can be seen that its forest coverage rate is so low that if it weren't for the existence of an atmosphere reformer, it wouldn't even be called a livable planet, let alone a garrison.
At this time, Celine went back and forth and brought back the statistical data and the air composition table.
The oxygen content is slightly lower, and unknown elements are absent...
All in all, people can live there, but the conditions are very difficult. If there is a choice, no one wants to come here to garrison.
"It is recorded in the family records that thousands of years ago, after the mothership broke through the Zerg blockade, the immigrant humans chose to settle here, because there are a lot of metal deposits on this planet, which can allow the rapid development of technological civilization."
Ms. Celine did her homework beforehand, and said like a few treasures: "It can be said that the technology used in the Nemesis galaxy today was first born on this planet, especially in the synthesis of weapons and food."
It's a pity that the development of human civilization has always been based on external expansion. As time goes by, this once glorious planet has gradually become desolate, and only the defenders are left in the end.
"There are only 4,000 defenders left, stationed on a planet. The so-called frontline outposts are actually satellites flying around it."
Frankly speaking, Lu Li was skeptical about the combat effectiveness of this army, as well as in terms of discipline.
The information collected during this period shows that half of the defenders have criminal records, and most of them are serious criminals.
"You can't say that. Some fighters were deprived of their freedom because they offended important people and were framed."
"In order to prove their innocence and get a chance to regain their freedom, they chose to serve here."
Captain Luo Yi came over.
This guy is still wearing sunglasses, what to say, although the golden pupils that were passively lit due to the injection of the ancient dragon serum have long been extinguished, he has adapted to the current look and does not want to change it.
"You'll see it with your own eyes in a while."
Luo Yi's words, as well as the fighting power and fighting will of the defenders when the Zerg raided the outpost, made Lu Li look forward to it.
