At the same time Kepler 22-b.
In the underground space of the ruins complex, William looked at the computer screen controlled by the researcher and said to Halsey beside him:
"It seems that the advanced civilization of this planet has found some way to travel to other worlds to learn and communicate."
"However, it was precisely because of this that they encountered changes thousands of years ago and destroyed their own civilization with their own hands."
Halsey sighed slightly and shook his head.
"Yes." Serena also echoed, "The UNSC researchers are right about one thing, that is, this civilization is likely to disappear due to some kind of plague.
Even though we have Nanite Serum developed by a doctor, we still need to be more careful when colonizing to ensure that we are not infected by some deadly microorganisms.
The bigger difference is that we humans colonize by fleets, so if an accident occurs, there is still room for recovery.
But they...
But if we conduct interstellar travel directly on the home planet, the risk of accidents is too high."
"Yeah." William is also more inclined to this point of view.
For example, when an extremely powerful force is engaged in a war, it will often be defeated or even destroyed because of a trivial 'point'.
For example, Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, but was hampered by the poor environment in Russia, which led to Napoleon's defeat and return.
In 2001, the skeletons of soldiers from the 19th century were excavated in Lithuania. After weapons and decorations, they were found to be Napoleon's soldiers, and there were also a large number of lice remains.
These lice carried the bacterium Bartonella five-day fever, and the remains of soldiers were also suspected to have traces of typhus.
Therefore, microorganisms often have more power to "exterminate" than Weapons of Mass Destruction.
"In my eyes, the technology displayed by this civilization is neither high nor low. I wonder what caused their demise..."
Halsey looked around at the murals and statues and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Boss, doctor, the rover seems to have discovered something."
The researcher who controlled the rover turned his head to remind William and Halsey, and the two of them stood behind the researcher again and turned their gazes to the computer screen.
I saw that the rover was sitting on a sand dune, using the monitor's built-in far-sighted function to display a vague city scene on the screen.
"It seems that the physical passage that the rover passes through, in my eyes, is more like some kind of 'overpass' built across the universe, not a jump in common sense."
Looking at the content on the screen, Halsey seemed to have a deeper understanding of the technology of this civilization.
With that said, Halsey looked at William and suggested. "William, I think we can send a reconnaissance force to explore that 'desert city'."
"Okay." William also had no objections. Then he turned to Serena and ordered:
"Serena, inform Engineering Team on the Infinity that I need them to build a mobile base station near the ruins within 48 hours.
It is provided for research teams and combat personnel to conduct on-site scientific research and replace equipment, as well as provide sleeping conditions."
"Yes."
Serena's pupils emitted a faint light, conveying William's orders.
"Also." William added, "Inform the UNSC Colonel Hawkzer that Kepler 22-b is already an asset of Umbrella, and let them continue to colonize the remaining stars of Cygnus.
However, before that, prepare the USS to conduct the standard Memory Wipe on those colonists.
Then use Quantum Communication on the Infinity to remind Andre and ask him to negotiate with the UNSC. No ships will be allowed to arrive in the star system where Kepler 22-b is located in the future."
"Yes."
"Sorry to trouble you, Serena."
Seeing Serena still helping him handle things in an orderly manner, William always felt that he owed something to 'her'.
After all, Artificial Intelligence people don't need to be paid a salary. All the entertainment they want can be easily obtained online.
Serena still smiled slightly and responded, "This is what I should do, boss."
Colonel Hawkzer, which belongs to the UNSC, is very cooperative with Umbrella's series of commands, which makes it convenient for the USS and technicians in charge of Memory Wipe.
In UNSC Colony Fleet, except for senior officers and a small number of Marine Corps, all colonists have been Memory Modification.
On September 10th of Hafa Time, Colony Fleet left the low-Earth orbit of Kepler 22-b and continued its colonization mission to other stars of Cygnus.
Only the battleship Fleet Zero is left in low-Earth orbit, which is responsible for supporting battleships and troops in the atmosphere and monitoring the situation of the entire planet.
In the two days from the 10th to the 12th, devices capable of 'interstellar travel' were discovered one after another in most of the Kepler 22-b Northern Hemisphere ruins.
Engineering Team, who is accompanying each battleship, has also built corresponding mobile base stations near various ruins for use by scientific researchers and Combat Troops.
Two days later.
Hafa Time: September 11, 2018, 04:14.
The ruins building complex below the Endless and the rainforest bordering to the south have been transformed by Engineering Team into a large mobile base station.
The base station is surrounded by walls for protection, and multiple watchtowers have been erected to resist the more ferocious animals in the rainforest.
A layer of partition board is laid on the ground inside the base station, and there are two buildings with good sealing properties, which are used for scientific research, experiments, disinfection, war preparation, etc.
On the back side of the building is the apron, where several Pelicans and a Vulture with heavy fire support are parked, as well as Assault MS, which is on standby for maintenance.
With this base station, Halsey and her research team can more effectively decipher the contents of murals and texts in order to understand the principles of Teleportation Device as soon as possible.
As for William and Serena, they were in the underground space of the ruins, accompanied by Sparta Blue Team and four classes of paratroopers.
Since John has the blessing of [Good Luck]'s special skills, William is ready to personally lead this investigation team.
As Artificial Intelligence and Serena of William, they also have to act together and are responsible for copying data and real-time analysis.
A group of technicians were debugging the equipment of William and others. One of the supervisors wearing a yellow sealing suit reported to William:
"Boss, Communications Station on the other side of the portal has been constructed by Engineering Team, allowing you to communicate with the doctor in real time.
Due to the size of the portal, our technicians can only disassemble and assemble Warthog at the other end, so there are no other large transport vehicles."
"Warthog is enough." William said.
Immediately afterwards, the technician who was debugging the armor for him also retreated two steps. "Boss, the armor is in optimal condition."
"Very good."
William nodded lightly to the supervisor and several technicians, and walked slowly to the front of the portal. Vision glanced at the equipment and said in a low voice, "Get ready to go."
"Yes."
