After three days of confusion, the day of the actual test finally arrived. Li Gaoliang, who was lying on the virtual reality equipment with his most elite subordinates, finally figured out where Lu Zhou was talking about.
The boundless space, the blue planet, and the endless starships …
"F * ck! Is this … the Magpie Bridge? "
"It doesn't look like it … It looks like it was modified."
Everyone was standing in a slightly open room. They had already connected their consciousness to the virtual reality system, and they all had a shocked expression on their faces.
It was different from the chaotic space made up of broken fragments that they had experienced before. It was also different from the feeling of peeping into an unfamiliar world from the perspective of a bystander. Everything here was so real. Whether it was the weight on their shoulders or the sonorous sound of their feet stepping on the ground, they couldn't find a single flaw. It was as if they were immersed in the real world.
It felt like there was an accident in the experiment, and all of them were transported from the laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study to this starship.
Yes, this time was different from the past.
Whether it was the sound or the touch, this time it wasn't achieved with the help of external equipment.
It was as if the scene in front of them was directly projected into their brains ….
Of course, compared to the background wall outside the porthole, what was more shocking was the armor on their bodies and the rifles hanging in front of their chests.
These extremely sci-fi armors were presented in such a clear form in front of their eyes. Even though they knew very well that they were lying in a laboratory that was less than a hundred square meters in size, they couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in their hearts under the contrast of the atmosphere of war.
"This armor is so f * cking heavy …" The slightly burly man tried to move his bulky arms. He couldn't help but frown and say, "It's at least a hundred kilograms."
Even in a microgravity environment, the heaviness could still be felt.
Although this heavy weight gave people a sense of security, his expression didn't look too relaxed.
It was quite dangerous to use unfamiliar equipment, especially when the equipment itself was so heavy. If it was really on the battlefield, it could be a live target.
The shorter man standing next to him raised his arms and spoke with a frown.
"Bulletproof vest?"
"No …" Standing next to him, a man with a long-range rifle on his back looked quite calm. He pointed at something in the air and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be an exoskeleton … The tactical eyepiece is equipped with a holographic system, and there is a tutorial inside, including how to use the weapon in your hand."
At this moment, the cabin door suddenly opened.
Regiment Commander Li, who was also fully armed, walked in from behind the door. Professor Lu was standing next to Regiment Commander Li. The group of people immediately stopped talking and saluted.
Li Gaoliang glanced at Lu Zhou, and when he saw Lu Zhou nodding, there was a subtle awkwardness on his face.
Just as the soldiers were wondering why their Regiment Commander would show such an expression, he took in a deep breath, took two steps forward, and glanced at them before speaking.
"I know you're all very surprised … In fact, I'm even more surprised than you are."
"Although this is a drill, I hope you can treat it as a war. Our feet are the battlefield!"
After explaining the situation, Li Gaoliang looked back at Lu Zhou again and asked him if he could skip the nonsense and start the conversation.
However, his expectations were dashed in the end.
Academician Lu was staring at him with interest. His eyes seemed to be urging him to continue quickly. In short, Academician Lu didn't plan to let him go.
Li Gaoliang hesitated for a bit. Obeying orders was a soldier's duty, so he turned his head around and began to recite the lines in a stiff tone.
"… Our allies on Planet Reach have been attacked by hostile forces. As the guardians of the republic, our task is to arrive at the communication tower of the colonial outpost, ensure the normal operation of the ground communication facilities, and set the air attack coordinates for the orbital weapons.
"The use of the equipment is in the manual built into the exoskeleton. Press the button on the right side of the tactical eyepiece to start the holographic control interface.
"Our spacecraft will arrive at the airdrop area in 20 minutes. Now you have ten minutes to familiarize yourself with the equipment."
He looked at the timer and saw that it had stopped at ten minutes.
Li Gaoliang put down his right arm, stood still, looked at the people in the cabin, and shouted.
"Are you ready?!"
All the soldiers stood at attention.
"Ready!"
Li Gaoliang waved his hand and turned around.
"Let's go!"
Lu Zhou watched the group of people leave the cabin. He turned around and came to the command center.
The people working here were actually all NPCs. Since Lu Zhou didn't set up any complex behavioral logic for them, when Lu Zhou came here, it was as if they didn't even see him. They just repeated some tasks according to the "script" that had been written.
For him, this was like watching a movie.
And he was sitting in the VIP seats.
"… Watching a movie with virtual reality technology is not bad. As long as the audience's perspective is set in the appropriate auditorium, the audience can even participate in the plot without interfering with the plot." Through the holographic screen, Lu Zhou looked at the soldiers who had already stepped into the airdrop cabin. He had a look of interest on his face as he said to himself, "Not bad, I can write down this idea."
At the same time, according to the script, the group of people stepped into the buffer room where the airdrop cabin was placed.
Under the instructions of the staff next to him … or rather, the NPC, Li Gaoliang hurriedly connected the life-support system to the exoskeleton on his body.
Honestly speaking, this was quite a bad feeling.
He was an experienced soldier, but at this moment, he felt like a new recruit who was forced to do something beyond his abilities.
Suddenly, the command center's voice sounded in his ear.
"The airdrop area is approaching, expected to arrive in 30 seconds."
"…"
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
The countdown had just ended.
Accompanied by a muffled sound, a huge thrust came from behind everyone, gradually magnifying.
"Orbit successful, airborne procedure starting."
"Steel is our footprint!"
"Soldiers, good luck!"
"Cabin separation!"
In the face of the scorching airflow, the steel was like a piece of paper swaying in the wind, unable to bear the heavy burden.
The moment it hit the atmosphere, a huge force suddenly came from the seats.
Li Gaoliang, who was sitting in the cabin, clenched his teeth, and the shock in his heart gradually increased.
This feeling is too similar.
During the exercise, the feeling of riding the airdrop cabin from space to the surface was exactly the same …
The distance of hundreds of kilometers was crossed in an instant, and the buffer ejected orange-red flames.
When the airdrop cabin was 100 meters away from the surface, the smoke bomb installed under the airdrop cabin quickly ejected, and the explosion instantly covered the battlefield.
When the airdrop cabin hit the ground heavily, a group of well-trained soldiers quickly emerged from the cabin door, set up the weapons in their hands, and turned on the infrared imaging device on the tactical eyepiece.
However, the surroundings were deathly silent. There was not a single trace of life in the shadows of the plants that were blown askew by the wind.
The rifle in his hand was aimed straight at the shadow not far away. One of the soldiers took a slow deep breath and whispered in the communication channel.
"Sir, who is our enemy? The Americans or Mao Zi? F * ck … What is this vegetation here? Why is it different from what I've seen before? "
Li Gaoliang's eyes were also locked on the shadow not far away. He checked the map and replied in a deep voice, "Apparently, it's aliens."
"Aliens? F * ck me! "
There was no time for this group of people to be surprised.
In the distance, there was a series of screams.
The ear-piercing screams were so real, as if they came from the depths of the soul, making people's scalp numb.
As if the horn of attack had been blown, there were dense footsteps in the distance, like running through the forest.
In an instant, scarlet spots covered the entire screen.
Along with the sound of the earth trembling, sharp claws entered the battlefield from the edge of the smoke.
Behind the mobile lens, the soldiers who had already set up their machine guns suddenly narrowed their eyes as they stared at the optical sights.
Enemy …
It's a swarm of insects!
