Chapter 1266.
“Sir, the security window will open in five minutes.”
A female soldier with a delicate figure came to Wang Dust’s side and said softly, “Please prepare for landing.”
Wang Dust, who was sitting next to the porthole, nodded, “Got it.”
His gaze, still through the thick glass window, admired the huge planet outside.
ED502 Ecological Experiment Star, an extremely special planet.
More than three hundred years ago, an expedition from the Empire discovered it and conducted a three-year-long scientific expedition.
It was then named “Mori Hai”.
The special thing about Mori Hai is that this life planet is completely covered by mountains and forests, with no oceans or lakes, and no rivers or streams to be seen.
The vegetation here is extremely dense, the trees can grow to a height of hundreds of meters, the oxygen content of the air is more than twice the normal standard, and also contains countless plant spores.
Once a person inhaled this air, certain spores would grow in the lungs and even germinate!
So without wearing protective gear, ordinary people could not survive on the Mori Hai Planet.
Unless a planet-level remodeling was carried out!
But the investment in such a modification was immense and incomparable, and it wasn’t always successful, plus the Empire at the time didn’t have an urgent need for interstellar immigration, so only one space station was put in planetary orbit.
It was used for scientific research.
But it wasn’t long before the Empire’s scientific research team discovered a dozen precious minerals on the Senghai Star.
Including energy stone mines!
And so a sensational mining operation began.
Over the past few hundred years, the Empire’s several mining companies have dug holes in the interior of Senghai Star, and it is said that the deepest mine paths penetrate more than fifteen thousand meters into the ground, and they are densely packed with stars, constituting a huge underground labyrinth world.
Many miners thus took the wrong tunnel and got lost in it, never able to come back.
It was only after two to three hundred years of mining, most of the mineral deposits of Mori Hai Star were mined out, and it was then used as an ecological experiment star, used to cultivate and breed mutant creatures.
And the top management of the empire obviously didn’t expect that this planet, which had been drained of its resources, had actually become a nest for the rebels!
Wang Chen knew that his mission this time was difficult and dangerous.
However, the seventh layer of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Positive Technique, coupled with the sixth ring of spiritual energy, gave him the backbone to face any danger head on.
Most importantly, Wang Chen was quite interested in this particular planet.
In addition to the topography and landscape, there were many idiosyncrasies of the Senshai Planet, for example, since more than a hundred years ago, geomagnetic storms as well as unknown energy tides had frequently appeared on the planet, which had seriously affected the input and use of scientific and technological equipment.
By now, spaceships that want to land on Shaoshenhai Star need to wait for the safety window, that is, the time period when the geomagnetic storms and energy tides disappear or stabilize before they can proceed, or else it is likely that the ship will be destroyed and people will die!
As for the time when the safety window appeared, it could only rely on observation and detection, and then the time of existence could be as long as three to five days, as short as a few disappearances, with no regularity at all.
Such a planet is obviously even more unsuitable for human survival.
Wang Chen saw that the “magnetic light” storm shining in the atmosphere of this green planet had become very weak.
This kind of magnetic light storm was similar to the polar aurora in his previous life, only that the latter was generated by the collision between the stellar particle flow and the planetary magnetic field, and only appeared in the local area.
Whereas the atmosphere of the entire planet of Senghai Star, magnetic light storms would appear!
Five minutes later, the security window opened, and the spaceship Wang Chen was riding on cut into Senghai Star’s atmosphere from the synchronized orbit, and then after some violent bumps, landed in a steel fortress.
This fortress on Senghai Star looked like a giant bowl inverted on top of the earth, and its silver-gray surface reflected the light of the stars, which could be seen even in space.
Gensen Base, the Empire’s last stronghold on Senkai Star, was also a small city.
The 1st Morihai Machine Infantry Regiment was stationed here!
When Wang Dust stepped down from the airship, a well-fed officer greeted him under the escort of a column of soldiers.
Wang Dust immediately saluted and said, “Major Staff Officer Wang Dust, reporting to the officer!”
This officer with a lieutenant colonel shoulder badge was none other than Meng Liang’ao, the head of Senhai’s 1st Machine Infantry Regiment, the highest military administrator of Yinsen Base, with three machine infantry battalions under his command, totaling 3,500 soldiers and officers.
And Wang Dust was ordered to come to Senghai Star alone this time to investigate the rebel forces, the identity he used was certainly not a member of the Seventh Fleet.
Nominally, he was a major staff officer dispatched by the Imperial Ministry of War to the Mori Hai First Mechanized Infantry Regiment, and he also served as a military police captain.
A month ago, a riot broke out at the Gensen base, and the rebel forces lurking within suddenly struck, causing the 1st Machine Infantry Regiment to suffer considerable casualties, and Wang Dust’s predecessors all perished as a result.
And this riot was also related to the pursuit operation launched by the Seventh Fleet on Senghai Star.
The whole incident could be described as intricate and complicated, and the water inside was very deep.
The Seventh Fast Reaction Fleet had no choice but to send Wang Dust over to investigate, and changed his identity through the military department.
Wang Dust’s current rank of Major belonged to a temporary promotion, and if this mission was successfully completed, it would become permanent!
“Staff Sergeant Wang is truly young and talented!”
Meng Liang’ao returned the salute with a smile, then shook Wang Duan’s hand a few times with a firm grip and said, “The 1st Senkai Machine Infantry Regiment is really too lucky to have a young hero like you joining it.”
This Lieutenant Colonel leader looked rich and smiled almost like the Maitreya Buddha, with a red-faced attitude that was relatable.
But Wang Dust wouldn’t be confused by the other party’s appearance – someone who could still sit in a stable position after a civil unrest was definitely not a mediocre and incompetent person with a soft heart.
Meng Liangao’s background was thought to be very strong as well!
Wang Dust smiled faintly and said, “You are too polite, I will ask for more guidance from the officer in the future.”
“Well said.”
Meng Liang’ao warmly invited Wang Dust into his special car and then drove him to the Machine Infantry Regiment’s quarters.
The architectural structure of Yinsen Base was very special, from the outside it looked like a huge inverted silver bowl, and most of the time its dome was completely closed, so as to resist the intrusion and interference of geomagnetic storms and energy tides.
Only when the safety window appears, the base dome will open for the ship to lift off and land.
As for the interior of the dome, apart from the Senkai First Mechanical Infantry Regiment’s quarters, the rest of the large and small buildings included some scientific research organizations, commercial facilities, parks and so on.
And there was also an immigrant city that existed underneath the base, housing several hundred thousand people!
These people were mainly miners and their families.
Because in the vicinity of Gensen Base, there were still unmined deposits.
There were also a small number of researchers.
It could be said that the Imperials were basically concentrated inside this Gensen Base in the huge Mori Hai Planet.
