For the Predators, their lives were still the same. They would fly around in space, hunt, and kill …. They were indifferent to the fact that they could reach the territory of the future human world through wormholes or by flying.
Planet Uplos would continue to be hidden in the stardust, quietly and faithfully carrying out its mission as a hunting ground.
In this case, future humans should really thank God that it was not Starship Troopers or Star Wars that went out of control in parallel universes ….
But the peace was broken five years ago.
A passing spaceship received a distress signal at the coordinates of Alps Base 7. Following the signal, the spaceship found a tattered spaceship and a corpse. The corpse belonged to Ryant, a senior explorer of the Milky Way Mining Association. Among his belongings, the spaceship found a brief map of the location of planet Uplos, as well as a piece of ore with a purity of 8.164% "Pi".
Following that, humans launched a great interest in the planet and frantically searched for it, but the protective facilities built by the Predators played a considerable role. The Predators were good at using natural protective means to defend their planet, rather than using things like orbital cannons, laser satellites, or space turrets.
Not to mention the frequent space storms, the asteroid belt created by them directly turned the area around planet Uplos into a dead zone. This was the fundamental reason why the Kitty Hawk did not dare to proceed any further. Only a mini detector like the Wasp would not trigger the pre-designed warning lines.
But with the pathetic carrying capacity of the Wasp, even transporting Mechs was an impossible task. Needless to say, the creatures on planet Uplos were even worse. If an ordinary human from the future were to go there, the chances of survival would be extremely low.
Therefore, Party Ace's real goal was to:
Go to planet Uplos and follow the route that was most likely to lead to mineral veins drawn up by the geologists in advance. Of course, some technical work such as exploration and sampling could be done by some pocket-sized cyborgs or accompanying cyborgs. After that, they would return. That was it.
In the end, General Mungo suddenly gave two seemingly random pieces of data.
"According to the latest news we just received, the official purchase price of Pi element by the Galaxy Mining Association is: 37 planetary units per kilogram. The planetary unit is the newest common currency unit. It represents the wealth that can legally purchase the next planet under normal circumstances. "
"Excluding the natural ore brought back by Ryant, the purity of the highest Pi ore found so far is 0.000217%."
As soon as General Mungo finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became silent, and there seemed to be the sound of people sucking in cold air. General Mungo seemed to be very satisfied with the effect of his speech. After giving the contestants 10 seconds to digest his words, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go.
"In a moment, the military police will take you to choose the corresponding Wasp. For a long time to come, it will be your closest comrade and lover. Your life will depend on it! In order to avoid all kinds of fights and troublesome things like changing the spacecraft, I've set up the authority. Once the Wasp's key is obtained, it will be directly bound to the relevant authority. It can't be changed! "
After saying this, General Mungo took a step back, then turned around and strode away. General Fiji led the way to the hangar. On the way, Sheyan seemed to see a familiar figure among a group of people in civilian military uniforms, but he could not remember who it was for the time being.
General Fiji led them into the hangar. Immediately, a large black mass of Wasp spacecraft appeared in front of them. All of them were brand new and had an indescribable magnificence. There was a serial number on the nose of each Wasp spacecraft.
As soon as he saw this scene, Sheyan suddenly remembered who the familiar figure he saw before was. It was the Second Lieutenant who came to welcome him in the spacecraft.
He immediately thought of the Second Lieutenant's weak physique, which almost made him choke to death from vomiting. Of course, there was also the Arabic number '3' secretly written on the cabin wall. With this in mind, Sheyan immediately made up his mind to choose the No. 3 Wasp spacecraft.
General Fiji then stood in front and said,
"Now, go and choose your mounts, brave warriors! The first one to go and choose is Hedi Curry. Step forward! Come and receive your authority card. "
The big black man took the lead and stepped forward.
"Yes, sir!"
"I object!" A careless woman with striking red hair and wearing a camouflage vest raised her hand and said impatiently, "Why should that bastard choose first?"
This woman was another MT named Azsa. She had been gathering her contacts in an attempt to compete with Hedi Curry. General Fiji first pointed at Azsa and said coldly, "Five points of punishment will be deducted.
"Deducting 5 achievement points. The reason is disregard for military discipline and loud roaring. The order of selecting the Wasp is not decided by us, but by the General Staff Unit based on military rank and the time of reporting. Major Curry has the military rank of the Empire and is the second contestant to report, which is why he chose him first. Does anyone have any objections? "
General Fiji's words immediately silenced all the doubts. Hedi Curry shrugged his shoulders with a smirk on his face. He then walked to the cluster of Wasps and chose the Wasps with the largest number, No. 999.
The second person to go and choose was another guy named Pokan. Like Sheyan, he was also a support. He chose No. 618.
The third person directly called Sheyan's name. Because of the previous foreshadowing, the others had no interest in him being called.
Sheyan had already made up his mind to choose the third plane. However, when he went to General Fiji to collect the authority card, he would usually whisper a few words of encouragement such as good luck to him. But General Fiji smiled and leaned forward to whisper to him, "You're right.
"No. 55 Wasp is a good choice."
Sheyan was taken aback. But who was he? Even if thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, he would not show them on his face. Instead, he immediately straightened his back and shouted,
“YES，SIR！ THANKYOUSIR！”
On the way to the hangar, Sheyan made a decision without much effort. This was not a beauty pageant, a talent show, a stock index, or a tutor, but a flying machine that could protect him to the target planet and back!!
If something went wrong with this thing, it would not be as easy as a flat tire or a car. It did not matter if the MT had four or five thousand HP, or even four or five million HP!
Obviously, Sheyan trusted the little Second Lieutenant whom he had saved more. First, the Second Lieutenant was indebted to him. Second, the Second Lieutenant should also be very afraid of his revenge! Third, the Second Lieutenant must also be eager for his friendship, or to be precise, reciprocation!
Major General Fiji, on the other hand, did not meet any of these conditions. More importantly, Sheyan also knew that his nickname was the Black General. Although Sheyan did not know the ins and outs of this nickname because it was too short a time ago, he could tell from the behavior of that scumbag, Major Ryckley, that this nickname definitely did not mean "old bull" or "kind-hearted person".
Sheyan's Perceptive Sense was quite strong, so he could easily monitor the various reactions of the people in the distance. He first walked towards No. 55 Wasp. After picking out the Wasp, he shook his head with a regretful expression and went straight to No. 3 Wasp. He then held the key to it.
At that moment, Sheyan noticed that there were two people whose facial muscles twitched. The first one was Major General Fiji, of course, was definitely on the list. But the second person was someone Sheyan did not expect. It turned out to be … Ronnie, who belonged to the same Realm as Curry. This guy was Curry's right-hand man and had always firmly supported him.
Sheyan engraved all of this in his heart.
In fact, he was not a kind person to begin with, and Sheyan certainly would not forget that the rewards for killing the guys in the other Realms were also quite generous.
There were only two main things Sheyan had to do next. First, he had to familiarize himself with his new mount and conduct a flight test. This could take anywhere from zero to four hours. Second, he had to wait for the ground crew to fill up the narrow cockpit at the back of the Wasp.
The 2.7 cubic meters of space had to be filled with a high-energy proton absorption spectrometer, a pocket-sized strong electron transmission logging tool, a strong X-ray diffractometer, and so on. Everyone had to carry these things with them.
Firstly, they could be used for comparison and correction of data. Secondly, they could be used for exploration even when they were separated from each other.
Everyone still had about half a cubic meter of space left. If they were greedy for achievement points, they could bring along a crushing extractor, which would allow them to extract and process high-purity Pi ores immediately on the spot. If they were lucky, they could earn a lot of money from it.
Those who pursued safety and comfort could bring along three cyborgs.
The cyborgs provided by the Empire were actually not much different from humans, because they used to be humans too. With the current technology of future humans, it was not too difficult to treat all kinds of diseases unless the patient's brain was dead. The only problem was the cost.
