Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Halsey looked at the Venus in William's hand, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"William, since this abnormal phenomenon can appear on Venus, it means that it is at least at the level of Euclid."

"Well." William also agreed with Halsey's point of view.

After all, the surface environment of Venus is simply crueler than hell.

Venus is called the "Morning Star" in China, while in the Western world it is called Aphrodite or Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.

Because in the eyes of people at the time, Venus was a mysterious planet with a better environment than Earth.

But this is not the case.

The country that has sent the most landed probes to Venus is the disbanded Soviet Union, and it is also the former Soviet Union that has lifted the veil of this "beautiful" planet.

The truth is that it is not beautiful, it is abnormally 'ugly'.

If a human probe wants to enter Venus, it will suffer the following tests, such as:

Sulphur dioxide, 350km/h hurricane, sulfuric acid fog, etc.

Even if it can finally successfully land on the surface of Venus, the artificial probe needs to withstand 92 standard atmospheres and a high temperature environment of 480° on average.

The detector with the longest working time only lasted for more than 100 minutes.

If only astronauts in ordinary space suits stand on the surface of Venus, they will be crushed instantly, not to mention immigration and mining.

Therefore, when Umbrella began to colonize space, the first thing to exclude was Venus, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive without real benefits.

In addition to the original probes orbiting Venus, Umbrella Space Department, NASA, ESA and other organizations have not launched any aircraft to Venus, and it is not worth it.

But there is an abnormal phenomenon on Venus now, which means that it has a very strong resistance to pressure and heat, at least Euclid, and possibly Keter.

Immediately, he operated the mobile phone, turned off the holographic image of Venus, switched to the figure of Serena and ordered:

"Selina, the Zero Fleet continues to monitor the abnormal area, and the doctor and I will rush to the space where you are on the Phantom."

"Yes." Serena gave William a military salute, and then cut off the communication.

Immediately afterwards, Halsey also said to William, "I'll go upstairs and talk to the children."

"Well, let's go." William nodded.

After the Sui Dynasty, Halsey walked quickly to the third floor, as if to tell Ivan and Yelena to go to school and rest well.

And William also changed into leather shoes and left the villa to the manor, ordering John and others who stayed at the manor to prepare the car and prepare to go to Troy on the outskirts of Hafa.

Since William and Halsey temporarily returned home to settle down, the Phantom has been moored over Troy, which is a unique "landscape".

…

When: September 3, 2018.

Location: Space near Venus.

The Zero Fleet has a total of twenty warships, large and small, and they are anchored in a formation centered on the flagship Infinity, which is moored near Venus at a distance of 0.25ETM.

Inside the bridge of the Infinity.

Serena, who was equipped with a prosthetic body, sat in the captain's position, her pupils glowed with a faint blue light, and she was dealing with various affairs of the fleet.

Next to the center console in the center of the bridge, Halsey, who has changed into a lab coat, is watching what the screen is studying.

As for William in military uniform, he was standing behind the giant porthole with his hands behind his back, bowed his head slightly, and looked at the 'Venus' not far away.

At this time, the position of the fleet is the back of Venus, that is, the area where the sunlight cannot directly shine.

There is a joke-like fact that a day on Venus is longer than a year because Venus' rotation is slower than its revolution.

The area where the anomaly is now located is on the dark side of the back of Venus, and it is impossible to observe useful information with the naked eye.

Seeing this, William frowned slightly and turned towards the center console.

Before William could open his mouth to ask, Halsey raised his head and said solemnly to him: "William, there is no way to detect the face of anomalies in space.

And the clouds on Venus are so thick that only by sending reconnaissance troops to take close-up shots can we know the true face of the anomaly. "

"…"

Hearing this, William did not respond immediately.

Because the area where the abnormal phenomenon is located is subject to some kind of signal shielding, once the reconnaissance plane enters the area, it will instantly lose the contact and support of the fleet.

Coupled with the harsh environment of Venus and the unknowns about anomalous phenomena, this investigation is an extremely dangerous mission.

"In addition to the option of dispatching troops, is there any other plan?" William tried to ask.

I saw that Halsey looked helpless, shook his head lightly and said, "No, I have used various methods to probe, but there is no response.

As soon as the drone enters the area affected by the anomaly, the signal is immediately lost, and only real people can get useful information.

I'm instructing the ship's engineers to convert a Pelican as quickly as possible to withstand the harsh environment of Venus. "

"This..." The Chuan word between William's eyebrows tightened again, and finally he could only let out a breath and nodded:

"Okay, I'm going to choose the right man to form a reconnaissance unit. As for the Pelican, I'll trouble you."

"Well, don't worry."

"it is good."

After the two had a brief conversation, William turned and walked outside the bridge to select the soldiers for this reconnaissance mission.

…

hours later.

Inside the third area hangar of the Infinity.

Ground crews are busy overhauling and preparing various carrier-based aircraft, and marines in CMC power armor are patrolling here.

A specially modified Pelican is parked in front of a decompression chamber gate, undergoing a final inspection by engineers.

The appearance of this Pelican is not much different from the ordinary one, but it is more 'bloated'.

Through the opened rear hatch, you can see the cabin that was originally carrying soldiers, with a lot of large detection and technical equipment installed.

Not far from the rear hatch, two USSs in biochemical armor are also being debugged and inspected by technicians.

Standing in front of the two USSs, William gave them a standard military salute and said solemnly:

"You two, because the abnormal phenomenon can block pattern detection and communication signals, we can only send you to Venus to find out."

The two also raised their hands and saluted: "Yes, boss."

The USS with the rank of captain, after putting down his hands, said quietly and to himself:

"Boss, according to the data provided by Doctor (Halsey), the shielding strength of the model of this anomaly is far less than that of Egypt.

It's too easy for us at USS to just go to Venus to see and come back. "

"Haha." Seeing the captain's ease of talking and laughing, William couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile:

"It's good to be confident, and the two of you are the first humans to enter the atmosphere of Venus in history."
