Mecha Journey

The first stop of the patrol of the Blue Ring Octopus fleet is a planetary mine located in the New Star Domain and the New Song Star Domain. In this small galaxy, several large solid planets orbit a star that has entered the decay period. , in the sky, this star that is gradually turning into a red giant looks dim and extremely red.

There are two planets in this small galaxy with good mineral deposits. Mining companies in the New Star Domain station mining teams here. With huge mining machines and a small number of personnel to control them, a large amount of good-quality ore can be output from here every year.

The fleet regarded this place as an important inspection point because a Star Thief War broke out here in the past. There were many battles between the mining company and the Star Thieves wandering in the New Song Star Region. Later, the military intervened and expelled the Star Thieves. However, After all, it is located on the edge of a remote star field. It is impossible for the army to be stationed. It can only be included in management and conduct regular inspections.

"The 'Halo' went to mine one star, and the main ship landed to mine the two stars. The 'Halo' patrolled the periphery to see if there were any observation points for star thieves."

After Yang Mu waited for the fleet to get in touch with the mining team below, he ordered a full landing on the planet to check the relevant situation. At the same time, he asked Dukes to patrol the surrounding area with the assault ship to investigate safety risks on the periphery of the planet.

"This is the mining team of Megan Mining Group. Captain Yang Mu welcomes you." The voice of the captain of the mining team came from the channel, a rough voice with a little excitement. It seems that the army is coming. It gave them a very good sense of security.

Yang Mu responded, and the Blue Ring Octopus began to enter the planetary gravity of the mining star, and then gradually descended.

This brownish-red planet has no atmosphere and a gravity of only 0.5. The starship dropped to an altitude of one thousand meters, the anti-gravity device was activated, and two fully armored boats detached from underneath the starship and headed for the mining area dozens of kilometers away. , check their various situations.

"Second Lieutenant, what's your name?" At this moment, the ship was docked, and everyone's work became simpler. Some people had already gone to the ship's restaurant to eat. The operators and correspondents in the command cabin were still sitting on standby. Yang Mu left He got off the command seat, patted the shoulder of a young man in front of him, and asked.

The officer, who was about the same age as Yang Mu, immediately wanted to stand up. Yang Mu motioned for her to just sit down and turned to Yang Mu.

"Sir, my name is Ge Yang."

Yang Mu looked at the capable-looking female officer and nodded, then asked again: "How many years have you served?"

"It has been four years. I have been serving on the Blue Ring Octopus since I graduated from the New Star Academy." Ge Yang said seriously, and Yang Mu also nodded. This female officer has a pretty good resume, from being a trainee officer to now the Blue Ring Octopus. The chief pilot of the Octopus obviously has some skills.

"Yes, I have also read your driving record. It has been safe and sound for four years. Have you ever thought about driving a more advanced ship?" Yang Mu said with a smile, took the space meal that Yunlong handed him, and picked up a bag and handed the other bag to Ge Yang.

Ge Yang was stunned for a moment, took the space meal handed over by Yang Mu, then thought for a moment, and said calmly: "I am currently studying the driving skills book of the satellite-class attack ship, and I will take the test in two years."

Yang Mu nodded when he heard this and said approvingly: "Yes, the cruiser cannot be the end. Driving a larger ship must be the goal. Step by step, maybe in the future we will be able to see a pilot driving an interstellar carrier." member."

Yang Mu said with a smile, and the people around him also smiled. Ge Yang looked at Yang Mu's young and handsome face. He felt very happy about being praised by the captain. He nodded heavily and set a goal in his heart. He must start updating in the future. Big ships.

But at this point, Yang Mu suddenly changed the subject and said to Ge Yang: "Ge Yang, how long did it take for the cruiser to move forward, cut straight, cut back, and make a U-turn four times?"

Yang Mu asked suddenly. Ge Yang had just opened the space meal in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "One hundred and seventy-three seconds."

"It's close to three minutes." After hearing this, Yang Mu smiled and nodded, patted Ge Yang on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Then keep working hard, and try to shorten it to one hundred and fifty seconds next time."

After saying this, Yang Mu walked away. Ge Yang looked at Yang Mu's leaving figure with a puzzled face. He only thought that Yang Mu's idea was too difficult. In one hundred and fifty seconds, he could drive like this. The speed is almost a level that can only be achieved by the pilots of the elite fleet.

After staying in the starship for five hours, the ship's communication channel rang. The patrol mecha team heading to the mining area ahead initiated video communication, and the picture was directly displayed on the screen.

"Captain John, how is the situation?" Yang Mu finished the space meal in his hand and asked John, the captain of the mecha team on the screen.

"Reporting to the captain, the investigation of the mining area has been completed, the personnel on staff are complete, the defense facilities in the mining area are intact, the emergency reserves are good, the communication channels are intact, and nothing has been discovered for the time being."

Yang Mu nodded when he saw this, then ordered the two small boats to return to the ship, and at the same time connected the communications of the other two assault ships.

"Captain Du, what's going on?" Yang Mu asked Dukes, who was driving an assault ship cruising around the outside of the planet. Dukes immediately replied seriously: "The scanning within the planet is basically completed. There is nothing wrong with the waterway trajectory, but planetary surface scanning revealed some recently formed trajectories on the outermost planet, which were initially confirmed to be man-made traces."

Yang Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the news. On the other side, Staff Liu Jie, who had been paying attention to this matter, quickly stepped forward, imported the image data through the control panel, and then pulled out the data saved in the previous base to compare and confirm. made this discovery.

"Captain, this looks like a wheel mark. I want to confirm whether the mining team has explored this planet." Liu Jie said immediately.

Although there are almost no traces of the Star Thieves in this mining area after the intervention of the New Star Territory Fleet, this does not mean that the Star Thief has given up on this place. There have been frequent reports of attacks over the years, so we cannot be careless.

"Communication connection, captain of the mining team, I want to ask something." Yang Mu nodded and said to the correspondent. In just a moment, a bearded man appeared on the ship's screen, looking at the screen with a smile.

"Comrade Captain, what is the problem with the inspection? How do we cooperate with you?" The bearded man said with a smile, while Yang Mu asked seriously.

"Hello, Captain, have you conducted any prospecting activities on the outermost planets recently?"

"Yes, there is already a backup. Captain, you can come and check."

"Then how is the prospecting activity going?" Yang Mu asked immediately, but the other party shook his head and said with a smile: "Sorry, this is our business secret, no comment."

Yang Mu was rejected, but he didn't say anything. He turned off the communication directly and looked at Liu Jie hesitantly. At this time, the news came back from the Halo.

"Ma Rui, how's the situation?" Yang Mu asked, but he saw an unhappy expression on Ma Rui's face.

"Reporting to the captain, there is nothing unusual in the inspection, but the other party does not allow us to enter a snow storage area. Not only that, they even claim that we are stealing their trade secrets and threaten to sue us."

"So you left?" Yang Mu asked, and Ma Rui shook his head: "Of course not. We forced our way in and found... just a batch of ordinary ores."

"As a result, I got scolded like crazy by those mining team members." Ma Rui said this. He was a vigorous man in his thirties, and he was very angry about being teased and scolded.

Yang Mu frowned when he heard this. The fleet inspection was all-round. This was approved by the military and the Merlin Mining Group. However, now that the other parties have obstructed it in every possible way, the result is just a batch of ordinary ore.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. There must be something wrong with these people, but now that my inspection is over, there is really no reason to check again.

Yang Muchen took a deep breath and ordered the entire ship to leave. However, he turned to Liu Jie and asked, "Staff Liu, when was the last time you inspected this place."

"A year ago, after receiving their request for help and expelling a group of star thieves, they renovated their mining area and conducted a comprehensive investigation. There was nothing found." Liu Jie called up the records and said carefully .

Yang Mu suddenly had a plan in his mind and said directly to the correspondent: "Order the assault ships to make arc maneuvers across the entire galaxy from both sides. Each ship will make five turns without turning on the scan."

When Yang Mu's order was issued, both Dukes and Ma Rui were a little confused, but they also responded with understanding. The two ships started traveling from opposite ends of the galaxy and wandered throughout the galaxy.

Liu Jie looked at this situation and was very confused. He looked at Yang Mu, but Yang Mu issued another order to the correspondent.

"Let's go for a walk in the outer space of the planets and go around them a few times, but remember, we won't land."
