Chapter 1281 (1/2)
After the meeting of the Earth Defense Alliance, Jiang Chen and Kerwin left the alliance headquarters and took the MRT to the Ministry of space under the escort of starring soldiers.
”What about the colony on Mars?” Sitting in the first class seat, Jiang Chen asked Kerwin.
”Genesis has been on its way for six days and will reach Mars synchronous orbit by this time tomorrow at the latest. By then, our new weapons and reinforcements will also arrive on Mars, which should help us gain some advantages.” Kerwin replied.
On its way to the Kuiper belt, genesis will adjust its course with the help of Mars gravity and test its synchronous orbit docking performance.
In line with the principle of going along the way, the satellite ring trade will hang the weapons and equipment newly designed by the future people's army suitable for the Mars environment in the external cargo bin in the belly of the origina, ready to be thrown down when it enters the Mars synchronous orbit.
”And the specimen?” Jiang Chen then asked, ”how long will it take to send it back to the star city?”
”The first specimens were rocketed last week and will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest Shall we inform our allies? ” Asked Kelvin.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen opened his mouth.
”We'll wait until the specimens are sent. We'll keep it secret for the time being. I will select some researchers from future human biology to form the Corruptor research team, and then discuss whether to disclose the information to our allies
Kerwin nodded. ”Well, I'll do what you say.”
The MRT will arrive soon.
After stopping at the gate of the space Department, the two went to the 071 Project Department of the space command center.
Coincidentally, as soon as they crossed the threshold of the command room, Kerwin's assistant delivered a document to him.
Glancing over the document, he saw a slight frown on his brow.
A moment later, Kerwin put away his papers, looked at Jiang Chen, and laughed wearily, ”one bad news, one bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first?”
“…… Let's start with the bad news. ”
”The bad news is that our Mars colony has been besieged by insects.” Said Kerwin.
Hearing the news, Jiang Chen's eyebrows jumped violently.
“…… What about the good news? ”
”The good news is that our colonial governor has already built a wall, and with the support of the expeditionary, our army has successfully blocked the insect tide.”
Slowly relieved, Jiang Chen looked at the holographic screen in front of the command room.
In the satellite images sent from expeditionary, the sand outside the colony has become unhealthy dark green by the blood and saliva of the Corruptors, and broken limbs are scattered everywhere. However, the situation of the soldiers standing on the fence is not optimistic, and many people's equipment has been damaged by the acid of the Corruptors.
At one point, the insects rushed up the wall and collided with the star ring Marines on the fence. Fortunately, the melee ability of these Corruptors is not on the same level as the devil bug. Although this battle is dangerous, the star ring trade side finally won with the support of fortifications and expedition.
Looking at the casualty assessment on the screen, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth.
”Isn't it strange?”
After a moment's hesitation, Kerwin asked.
”You mean...”
”Whenever we make progress at 071, the trouble is like a foot on its own,” he said, looking at Kerwin. ”It's like a pair of eyes are looking at us,”
”look at us?” Kelvin was slightly stunned and then said with a smile, ”do you mean that the trouble we have encountered is artificially controlled?”
Jiang Chen did not answer, just arms in front of the chest, looking at the holographic screen in front of the command room, lost in thought.
He suddenly realized a possibility
But he is not sure.
It is only when he returns to the end of the world that his guess can be verified.
