Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"Oh?"

Hearing the assistant's answer, Shirley immediately became interested.

Because Gabriel Angelos submitted this application to the Legion and the company, it was obvious that he wanted to rely solely on their Blood Raven Battalion and Gusteva, who was in charge of them, to take charge of the space gate incident alone.

Obtaining more military exploits and honors is one aspect, but the most important thing is to be able to fight a good battle! The Blood Crows have been recuperating and resting for nearly sixty years, and if they stay any longer, something will go wrong.

Coincidentally, Shirley also had the same idea, who wouldn't want to achieve even higher military exploits and honors?

Of course, all the prerequisites for handling the space gate incident alone are based on their intelligence department completing the investigation of the space gate and determining the brief situation of the parallel universe at the other end of the space gate.

So Shirley asked, "How did the company respond?"

"The superior hopes that our intelligence department will complete the investigation first before making a conclusion." The assistant replied immediately.

"It's the same as I thought." Shirley nodded lightly, and then ordered: "Start preparing for the investigation of the vortex space gate..."

As she said that, Shirley glanced at the holographic clock at the front of the bus, and continued: "I want you to start investigations on time before two o'clock in the afternoon, that is, twenty-three minutes later, to find out the situation in the universe over there.

Also, don't forget to remind Blood Raven and UNSC to send corresponding armed forces to the side of the space gate to guard against the hostile forces and unknown life on the other side from invading the main universe. "

"Okay, Director Birken, the Blood Raven side has already started to move." The female assistant responded.

"Well, if there is any emergency, please contact me immediately."

"Yes, Director Birken."

When the call was over, Shirley looked towards the base through the one-sided window of the bus, and found that the Blood Raven Fleet had begun to deploy against the space gate just as the female assistant said.

I saw the super-heavy cruiser in charge of the fleet's firepower output quickly raised its altitude, left the base star port, and headed for the outside of the atmosphere.

What Shirley couldn't see was that the UNSC also dispatched a fleet consisting of a three-kilometer-class battleship and three Kingfisher-class (1.5km) cruisers. The convenience at the track, one step ahead of the blood crow, turned on the warp engine and rushed to the space gate for defense and vigilance.

On the other hand, the bus driver, the intelligence recruits sitting in the car, and the residents of the entire Gustava are still unaware of the asteroid belt outside the galaxy, and there is a vortex space gate that can link to other universes, and all life and work continue as usual , was not affected in any way.

However, even if they know the existence of the space gate, people will no longer panic and worry about it as they did a hundred years ago, and they will even be eager to try, eager to send the UNSC and the Umbrella Legion to other universes. This...

It can also be regarded as an alternative impact. After all, people will pay too much attention to the space gate, which will affect their normal life and rest. Therefore, if it is not a serious incident that requires the entire legion, or even all human beings to deal with it, Umbrella and UNSC are still Prefers secrecy measures.

Soon, the authorized bus drove unimpeded through the passage where the drone gun was installed, and entered the surface base of Blood Raven.

Arrive at the designated parking space.

After stopping steadily and getting out of the car, Shirley led a group of recruits to transfer to the Warthog convoy, and shuttled around the surface base under the Blood Raven fleet that covered the sky and the sun.

Not long after.

Shirley and the others left the convoy and came to the command center installed under the surface.

After the large security gates were opened to both sides, Shirley and her party who were waiting in the corridor could see the busy civilian staff in the command center and the tall figure standing beside the center console watching the holographic screen——

Gabriel Angelos.

The recruits who followed Shirley into the control center, the closer they got to the center console, the greater the invisible oppressive feeling.

After wearing the exclusive Terminator armor, which is mainly dark red, black and white as embellishments, Gabriel, who unfolded his helmet, suddenly reached a height of 3.5 meters.

The visual impact alone has suffocated the fledgling recruits who have hardly observed the Astartes at close range, especially every Thutmose is very good at psychic powers, let alone a battalion commander who faintly emits How much does the fluctuation of spiritual energy affect the recruits.

Xueli, who had long been used to it, walked to the center console, put her left hand on her hip, looked up at the holographic screen showing real-time information and data, and asked Gabriel, "How do you reply?"

"Father told us to check the information, then we can do it." Gabriel, who had completed the second operation, replied briefly in his deep and contagious voice.

"A reply from the chairman himself?" Shirley was slightly surprised.

As for her uncle Sui Bian, Shirley hasn’t seen her for twenty years. The last time she returned to the solar system, she visited her parents who added a younger brother and two younger sisters to her. By the way, she and her family went to the Shield of Terra to visit. Sui Bian.

To be honest, Shirley really misses the time she spent in the brood when she was a child.

However, she never imagined that a "small" space gate would attract the attention of the human master.

After experiencing several space gate incidents, Umbrella classified space gates into four grades, namely "small", "medium", "large" and "ultra-giant".

Like the sudden outskirts of the Gusteva galaxy, the space gate with a diameter of only six kilometers is naturally classified as a "small" scale.

The space gate that links the main universe and the zero-three universe and spans the entire galaxy is classified as "big". As for the "super giant" space gate, the definition given by Umbrella is enough to affect the order of the entire galaxy and even the entire universe .

Therefore, Shirley believes that a small-scale abnormal incident of the space gate is not enough to attract Sui Bian's direct attention.

"After all, it is a space gate." Gabriel nodded, and continued: "It should be because father is not too busy, and he senses the generation of the space gate, so he is interested in giving a direct answer...

correct. Gabriel said, turned his head slightly, looked at Shirley, who was half shorter than him, and asked back: "How is the investigation and investigation arrangements?" "

"It's been arranged early." Shirley smiled, raised her hand and clenched her fist, and knocked on Gabriel's side waist armor: "When we finish collecting information, we'll see how you Blood Crows behave, haha !"

"Don't worry, we Blood Crows have always liked to take the initiative to attack and steel everything." Gabriel also showed a confident smile.

? ?

On the other hand, it was Gusteva who had just come to Gustava, and they gathered around the center console together, even the intelligence recruits who stood a lot more restrained, but because of the conversation between their immediate commander and the legendary battalion commander, they were very confused.

Space door?

Chairman?

"Children!" At this moment, Shirley glanced at the recruits present, and raised her voice actively:

"You guys are lucky. On the first day you took office, you were able to catch up with the joint operations of the Intelligence Department and the Army Battalion Headquarters, and you were able to know the appearance of the parallel universe in the first place. Learn it well. In the future, you will also Handle all kinds of difficult events independently!"

———————

…

Shortly after.

On the edge of the galaxy where Gusteva is located, there are many asteroids and ice fragments of different sizes revolving around the stars, and the vortex space gate is located in this asteroid belt.

And the four warships of UNSC and Blood Raven also parked near the space gate to keep vigilant.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Suddenly, an engineering ship that was only 400 meters long and belonged to Gusteva's intelligence department ended its jumping voyage, and then slowly approached the front end of the space gate.

Immediately afterwards, the engineering ship released a reconnaissance robot connected to a communication cable, which looked like a super-large octopus, turned on optical camouflage, and went straight through the space door "fearlessly".

At this moment, inside the bridge of the engineering ship.

Sitting at the back of the center, wearing a dark gray peaked cap and a white beard, the "old" captain was staring at the real-time picture sent back by the scouting robot on the holographic screen.

I saw that the scout robot arrived in the parallel universe unimpeded. Using its various auxiliary cameras and detection and scanning equipment to observe, we can know that the universe on the other side of the space gate is almost the same as the main universe.

At the same time, the location of the space gate is in the gravitational periphery of a giant gaseous planet with a star ring and surrounded by a large number of satellites. The visual distance is about 1.5 million kilometers.

But through the real-time images, the captain always felt that the gas giant planet was quite familiar.

"Sir!" Coincidentally, a crew member reported to the captain: "According to the relevant information provided by the reconnaissance robot, we can basically be sure that the gas giant planet shown on the real-time screen is the familiar Saturn. It represents the galaxy at the other end of the space gate, which is the solar system of the parallel universe."

"Very well, upload the collected information, and then dispatch the ship's engineering team and escort fighters to set up temporary wired communication base stations at both ends of the space gate to ensure that our subsequent investigation operations can be carried out smoothly." The captain issued a series of instructions. Order.

"Yes." The crew who received the order also executed it immediately.

Engineering outboard.

Another two transport boats and four Viking fighters left the hangar of the engineering ship and were divided into two flight formations. One stayed on the side of the main universe, and the other opened the hidden state and passed through the space gate to the parallel universe. solar system.

Not long after, the engineering team built two temporary communication base stations that looked like small space stations with high efficiency.

Then the two base stations were connected by wire. After testing to ensure that the communication was normal, the engineering ship also deployed optical camouflage and shielding effects, and moved slowly through the space door to reduce the chance of being discovered as much as possible.

Arriving in the parallel universe, the engineering ship recovered the detection robot and two flight formations, and then used the high-power detection equipment on board to conduct a complete scan of Saturn and all of Saturn's satellites.

In the results obtained, they found that there was an energy reaction on Enceladus and Titan, and the scanned pictures showed that the scale of these two satellites was not bad, and the man-made buildings that were equivalent to the size of a town seemed to be some kind of scientific research. Research, exploration, or bases and colonies for defense and military purposes.

Inside the bridge.

"Oh?" Looking at the scan results, the captain couldn't help but sighed to himself: "It seems that the compatriots in this universe have just started the interstellar era, and they have not yet been able to completely leave the solar system."

"Captain, what should we do next?" the crew member in charge of the helm asked.

"Next?" The captain got up and left the seat, walked slowly to the center console, called up the simulated star map of the solar system in this parallel universe, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the blue planet on the third orbit , said in a deep voice:

"This is the solar system. If you want to find out the level of civilization of the compatriots in this universe, you will naturally go directly to the earth, upload all the information we found to Director Birken, and then lock the coordinates to allow warp speed navigation."

"yes."

"By the way," the captain added at this time: "Although we subjectively judge that the compatriots in this universe are not yet capable of stepping out of the solar system, it cannot be ruled out that the compatriots' technology tree is a bit crooked, so we call the emergency team and escort fighters Be prepared, if your compatriots have the ability to detect traces of warp speed and are hostile, then teach your compatriots a little lesson."

"Yes, Captain."

After the voice fell, the crew members began to sail at warp speed, and listened to their conversations. Apart from having conventional vigilance and precautions, they also had enough self-confidence, as if relying on them alone as a reconnaissance project. The boat is enough to deal with all kinds of extreme situations.

In fact, the humans in the main universe, especially the employees of Umbrella, have the confidence to dare to say such things, because this group of crew members with higher levels of employees also have higher authority to browse the company's internal network, and can know the mother's The latest technologies or products from R\u0026D centers or bases such as Nest, Peru, and Luna.

Not long ago, the Wang Zhaofeng team of the Brood had thrown another "heavy weight" to the company, that is, the Brood had completely broken through the safe, effective, and stable technology and means of extracting antimatter.

And antimatter can not only be used in energy supply and replacement of battery materials, but also, or when human beings discover the existence of antimatter, they want to use antimatter in militarization and weaponization.

The way antimatter energy is released is to annihilate with positive matter, that is, the moment "anti" meets "positive", it will disappear into nothingness.

The moment when matter and antimatter meet, huge energy will also be transformed. This kind of energy bursting out in the form of light and heat strictly follows Einstein's mass-energy equation, namely "E=MC^2".

Calculated according to the mass-energy equation, when 1 gram of antimatter reacts with 1 gram of positive matter, the energy of 2g is 1.8x10^14J, which is equivalent to 50 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, or the explosive equivalent of 43,000 tons of TNT, which is 3.3 The Power of the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb.

You know, this is just the burst of energy generated by the reaction of 1 gram of "reverse" and 1 gram of "positive", and Wang Zhaofeng also said that the brood has begun to "simplify" it.

Although the word "simplification" is ambiguous, based on Wang Zhaofeng's previous articles, it is not difficult to guess that the brood is turning anti-matter weapons into "individual soldiers"...

Leaving aside this antimatter, it would be abnormal if Umbrella, who controls the large device, and the entire crew including the captain, do not have absolute confidence.
