"Preparing for implementation of Warp Drive, target, low Earth orbit of Mars."
"Warp Engine has started."
"Coordinates has been set."
"Ready for Warp Drive."
After hearing the report from the crew, Carmen sat down in the captain's seat, looked at the starry sky outside the front window, and said softly:
"Sail on my countdown...
Three.
2.
1."
Whoa--!
When Carmen said "one", the entire Fleet Zero entered the state of Warp Drive.
The scene outside the porthole is not exaggerated, it just feels like everything in front has been compressed. After all, not even Solar System has gone out.
Within a few seconds, the fleet sailed out of the Warp Drive state, and the one that was supposed to be red...
But now it is like an 'Earth 2.0' version of Mars, appearing before everyone's eyes.
William, standing behind the porthole, lowered his head slightly and looked down, and saw the 'surface' completely covered by the dome.
The current surface of Mars is completely covered by Dome Cities.
In order to stabilize the structure of the dome, each super giant dome adopts a hexagonal shape and is assembled like a the Hive to cover the entire surface.
The dome also uses the anti-gravity function of Reaper Civilization, which allows it to stably float on a track twenty kilometers above the ground without the need for support points.
In order to ensure that the domes are not damaged, Engineering Team also installed a dedicated Fusion Reactor at the location where each dome is connected to provide energy for AT Energy Shield.
If the Earth's atmosphere would show a faint blue light when illuminated by sunlight, then Mars at this time would autonomously emit a faint emerald light.
In addition, ultra-large entrances have been built in the domes above the equator, the north and south poles, and designated longitudes and latitudes to allow various warships to enter the interior of the domes.
In addition to these appearances, the changes inside the dome are even more amazing.
It has large clouds that appear naturally on the Earth, and also allows the dome area on the surface to show different seasons according to the region, latitude and longitude, and the location of Mars.
For example, the equator where Infinity is located.
William can see that the area under the dome actually has a large area of artificial rainforest, mountain peaks and "ocean". The climate is almost the same as that near the earth's equator.
Engineering Team led by Wang Zhaofeng, after more than ten years of experience and technology accumulation, is really good at man-made rainforests and mountain peaks.
As for the ocean...
Engineering Team uses the water resources of Asteroid Belt, and also mines a large amount of ice on the surface of Europa, and performs certain purification and processing to create an artificial ocean.
The average thickness of the ice sheet of Europa is one hundred kilometers. In order not to damage the natural environment under the ice sheet, Engineering Team only used surface ice.
Previously, Umbrella's most outstanding man-made celestial body with the most technology was Satellite Colony, but now this title has changed hands to Mars.
Although Mars is not an artificial celestial body, the dome that can cover the entire Mars, as well as the foundation and gravity generation device that covers the entire surface of Mars, are hundreds of times larger than Satellite Colony.
Moreover, Mars is as prosperous as Earth.
William in the bridge can see different types of civilian ships arriving or leaving in a steady stream.
trade,
immigration,
discuss,
A series of businesses such as business trips are concentrated on this rising planet.
The ultimate reason is that the current Mars is equipped with the highest technology, and the environment is comfortable and safe.
Seeing this scene, William couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
'Finally I know why Adeptus Mechanicus in Warhammer is so popular. The Mars of Dark Age of Technology should also be the result of the technological achievements of mankind.'
"Boss." Serena, who had been standing behind William, walked slowly to his right and asked in a low voice:
"I learned from the company's information that Mr. Terra is currently in the capital of Mars, Phoenix City.
Do you need to let the entire Fleet Zero enter the dome of Mars?"
Hearing this, William no longer thought about Adeptus Mechanicus, but said quietly with his hands behind his back, "Constantine What is that guy doing at Terra?"
"It seems that we are holding a cooperation vision for 2027 with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the <Starship Troopers> universe."
"Hum..." William raised his left hand, pinched his chin, thought for a moment and said:
"Since Mars completed its transformation... I have never been there, so I would like to experience this 'reborn' planet firsthand.
Also, Fleet Zero does not need to enter the dome together. Let John, Karl and Mylon get ready and take the Pelican with me to Phoenix City.
As for Constantine...
Let's not disturb him for now and let him concentrate on seeking higher interests for both universes."
"Yeah." Serena nodded.
Later.
William turned around and walked out of the bridge, and told Carmen: "Captain Ibanez, Fleet Zero's defense will be left to you for the time being."
"Yes, boss." Carmen said respectfully.
Soon after.
A Pelican, painted in black and doubled in size, flew towards the entrance of a dome.
And the four Viking Fighter responsible for escort are sharper in appearance and no longer as bloated and honest as before.
Or...
At least it no longer gives people the feeling of "not as good as a chicken".
Inside the cabin of the Pelican.
There are five people: William, Serena, John, Karl and Mylon, and there are no other redundant guards.
And John and the other three are also wearing tailor-made military uniforms.
John and Mylon both have neat short hair. As a girl, Karl has long white hair that just goes past her shoulders.
Except for the collar of John, which has a collar badge representing the military rank of 'Master Chief', both Karl and Mylon have no military rank.
Of all Spartan-I's Super Soldier, only John obtained the military rank of Master Chief.
After all, the first issue is the most special one among all Super Soldier plans, and it is also the one with the deepest feelings for William and Halsey.
Even if they have no military rank, soldiers and officers of the company's troops are required to salute when they see First Generation Spartans.
At this time, Serena and Karl were sitting together chatting. John was sitting near the cockpit, lying down with his eyes closed and concentrating.
William is standing behind the hatch with his hands behind his back, while Mylon...
"Go! Boss! This... this... the whole Mars has become like this? Oh my god!"
He was also standing next to William, with his upper body almost lying on the special hatch window, his face pressed against the mirror and looking down.
"..."
Listening to Mylon's whirring energy, William shook his head with his eyes slightly closed, and pinched his temple with his left hand.
I have to say.
Mylon He is a thirty-year-old adult, and he is a member of an army Gene-Father, but he still behaves like a middle-aged boy.
However, William is not disgusted with this, and is very pleased with it.
At least Spartans, who is under Umbrella, does not have to experience the brutal war in "Halo", losing his comrades and having to become mature.
