    Chapter 3 Login()

    The task force slowly accelerated and gradually entered the jump speed to prepare for a space jump.

    After entering the cosmic era, as human beings expand their territory in the universe, they discover that there are some naturally formed space windows in the vast space.  You can enter subspace through the space window. There is no space-time characteristic in subspace. In other words, after entering subspace, the concepts of time and space relative to the universe in which we live do not exist.

    Although subspace is called space, it is actually a wormhole caused by the distortion of time and space, which is an energy channel.  It cannot be understood as an actually existing multi-dimensional space in a broad sense.  Entering subspace, everything that exists in reality will be transformed into something unknown.  Entering subspace through a certain space window and passing through other different space windows form a space jump.

    ¡°Compared to ordinary people, it¡¯s like passing through a door. We just step from the door to the outside.  There is no process, no time consumed, and no feeling of traveling through space.

    The existence of subspace cannot be explained by human technology. Just like the gods of ancient myths and human religious beliefs, they are both mysterious and mysterious things.

    A space window may be connected to several other space windows, or it may be connected to only one space window.  Through various space windows, humans have constructed interstellar routes to maintain humanity's increasingly large territory.  It is also through the space window system that the interstellar territories of human countries are formed. The more space windows are controlled, the more star fields are actually controlled.  Of course, not all space windows have practical value. The size of the space window limits the size of objects that can pass through.  Space window channels of different sizes form interstellar routes with different statuses, dividing interstellar routes into main routes and secondary routes.

    Based on the space window, humans have developed a space door.  Artificially creating a jumping channel through subspace. Of course, the artificial space gate is relatively small and cannot pass larger aircraft. Maintaining such a space gate also consumes a lot of energy.

    With the space window as the center and the man-made space gate as the branch, mankind has built a huge and complex interstellar navigation system for its own civilization.

    The task force does not use space windows or space doors to make space jumps.  There is no natural space window near Anokhi. Of course, as a newly discovered ecological star, it is impossible to build a space door.  Instead, the interstellar exploration team provides space coordinates. After complex space calculations, the entire fleet gradually accelerates to the space jump speed and directly breaks through space and enters subspace to perform space jumps.

    Such a jump method has its limitations.  First, it consumes a lot of energy and is not suitable for large-scale use; second, this kind of jump method has relatively high requirements for space vehicles and requires specially-made space vehicles; third, whether it is the jump to the location or the jump starting point, detailed information is required  Space data and a vast space environment, otherwise there is a slight error or interference from other stars, and it is not a joke to jump to a star or an interstellar object if the jump fails to the point where there is nothing to do.  Therefore, apart from the military and some government ships, only some large consortiums can afford to use this jump method.

    The task force approached Anokhi planet step by step according to the pre-designed jump route.

    Yi Lexiang looked at the atomic clock above the metal bulkhead and calculated silently. They had been on the troop carrier for three days.

    Looking around, in such a closed environment, these battle-hardened veterans are also a little depressed.  The troop carrier is different from other interstellar battleships. In order to protect the safety of soldiers, the entire ship is surrounded by thick armor.  The soldiers in the transport ship are like sitting in a steel can, which is really not comfortable.  With no portholes and no view of outer space, the bored soldiers had nothing else to do except check their weapons over and over again.

    Yi Lexiang has a slow temper, but he is somewhat content in such an environment. He can't help but secretly chuckle when he looks at the "violent bear" spinning around in a suffocated state.

    Seventeen days later, the fleet arrived in Anokhi outer space orbit, but did not find the exploration team¡¯s space fleet.  The situation suddenly became tense.

    The fleet dispatched a reconnaissance ship to conduct a comprehensive scan of the Annoki planet and collect information to establish a holographic sandbox.

    On the ¡®Dawn¡¯ command ship, the holographic images of the Anokhi planet in the war room lit up one by one as the reconnaissance fleet scanned them. The images became clearer and clearer, and the staff were busy analyzing them area by area.

    The faces of Lieutenant General Bu Yun and several other generals became increasingly gloomy. As the scanning area expanded, the wreckage of crashed battleships could be seen from time to time.  The exploration fleet has been completely wiped out, but no signs of interstellar battles have been found in space.

    "Report, call request from Dean Tang of the Academy of Sciences." The voice of a confidential staff officer broke the silence of the command room.

    "Put it through." Bu Yun said calmly.

    "Bu Zhong"General," the gray-haired Tang Kangyi appeared on the holographic image with a serious face, "You have seen the situation of the exploration team.  "

    Lieutenant General Bu Yun nodded slightly with a gloomy expression. He could not help but feel a little sad when he thought of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Interstellar Exploration Team whose lives were uncertain. He had experienced hundreds of battles and was used to bloodshed and sacrifice.

    "We have just detected electromagnetic residues in space, and have tentatively concluded that the exploration fleet was destroyed by an electromagnetic storm that disrupted communications."

    "Can an electromagnetic storm cause such a big loss?" Bu Yun asked with some doubt.

    Tang Kangyi said with a helpless smile: "Human beings are too small in the face of the vast universe. There are too many unknown things in the universe for us. Currently, according to the information we have, this is the most  A reasonable conclusion.¡±

    After the call with the Academy of Sciences ended, the situation analysis and follow-up action suggestions from the staff were also sent to Lieutenant General Bu Yun¡¯s personal terminal.

    According to the situation analysis of the Academy of Sciences, the exploration fleet died due to non-battle damage.  The staff believes that in accordance with the provisions of the fleet's tactical decision-making system, in an emergency, the exploration fleet may make an emergency landing on the Annoki planet.  After conducting tactical deductions based on existing intelligence, the staff concluded that the success rate of the emergency landing was 30%-70%.

    There should be surviving members of the exploration team on the Anokhi planet. It is recommended that the command headquarters take rescue operations and send ground troops to land to implement tactical rescue.

    The data returned by the reconnaissance fleet's anchor sweep also showed that a large number of life signals were found on the Annoki planet, but it could not be determined whether the life signals were native Annoki organisms or members of the exploration team.

    Lieutenant General Bu Yun looked at the advice from the staff in his hand and pondered for a moment.  According to the intelligence previously played by the exploration team, there may be unknown dangers on Anokhi, but the more this happens, the more dangerous the situation of the surviving troops becomes.  No longer able to hesitate, he secretly clenched his fists and said, "Order the first task force to land in Anokhi and carry out tactical rescue."

    Yi Lexiang was suddenly awakened from his sluggish state by the piercing siren, and saw the landing signal light on the bulkhead of the troop carrier flashing non-stop.  He jumped up and waited for so many days to finally land.

    "Bear" roared loudly: "Quickly, check the equipment and gather in the landing module. After holding it in for so many days, we are finally leaving this tin can."

    The huge body of the troop carrier drove slowly along the circular orbit of the Annoki planet in space at cruising speed, with landing craft popping up one after another around the hull.  The earliest ejected landing craft had already entered the atmosphere of the Annoki planet. The friction between the landing craft and the atmosphere emitted a dazzling fire, like meteorites falling from the sky.  Yi Lexiang's landing craft entered the atmosphere. Through the rear porthole, they could still see the huge body of the troop carrier ejecting other landing craft outwards. The scene was spectacular.

    "Anti-collision preparations" The loud voices of "Violent Bear" rang deafeningly in Yi Lexiang's ears through individual soldier communications, but this preparation was unnecessary. The landing craft landed steadily on the Anokhi planet.  The landing area was covered with dense vegetation, similar to the earth's grassland landscape. The soldiers who left the landing craft early formed tactical teams to guard on the spot in a defensive formation.

    Yi Lexiang looked around vigilantly. Rich unknown alien vegetation completely covered all the surfaces in sight. Through the filter device of the tactical helmet, he could still feel the fresh smell of plants in the air.  There was not a breath of wind in the air, although three of Annoki's six moons were faintly visible in the daytime sky.

    Except for the noisy sounds of soldiers running and the roar of landing craft, the entire land was silent.  A forest can be seen in the distance, some of the tall trees seem to be dozens of meters high.

    Several fighter planes roared overhead, searching for any surviving exploration team soldiers nearby.  The centipede-shaped defense mecha is building a ring of defenses.  After a simple assembly, the two armored battalions of the first regiment formed a semicircular formation and slowly scouted forward toward the forest, with the infantry following closely behind in a skirmish formation.

    According to the coordinates provided by the command headquarters, there is the wreckage of a crashed warship about 5 kilometers in front of Yi Lexiang and the others.  Because it was covered by dense forest, the fighter planes found no signs of surviving soldiers.  The previous electromagnetic storm destroyed all the electronic equipment of the exploration team, and the search could only be carried out by the landing ground troops.
