star hunter

The five-year mission is the standard to measure the comprehensive strength and development status of a squadron. It can make a squadron jump to the forefront and become the focus of everyone's attention in the Covenant. It can also make the squadron be despised and ridiculed by everyone. This is

It was also Shoten's second five-year mission after becoming the captain of the Sixth Squadron. The previous mission was not bad, either good or bad. Although it did not make him famous, it did not discredit him either. It at least proved his ability as the captain of the Sixth Squadron.

ability.

The five-year mission is very arduous, that's for sure, and there may be unprecedented crises. For the five-year mission, no one can guarantee that they will survive intact, not even the captain or vice-captain.

Losing a group of people, but also tempering a group of people, the hunter group grew up through such repeated training. The hunters have been used to being on the edge of life and death all year round. Just because they are used to this kind of stimulation, they are used to it.

They live an adventurous life, so when they hear about dangerous missions, what they show is not uneasiness and panic, but unbearable excitement, especially those old hunters.

After receiving Diaz's affirmation, Cali and others cheered. They didn't have much experience in the last five-year mission, and they didn't enjoy following behind their predecessors. They had to enjoy it this time! Thinking of this, Cali and others

The work at hand is also sped up.

Xilin also joined in. Tang Qiuqiu and Gray Cat squatted next to Xilin and watched them handle the spoils.

Seeing the gray cat looking at it without blinking, Tang Qiuqiu asked: "Hulu, are you interested in this?"

"Tell me to say goodbye!" The gray cat was very dissatisfied.

"But purring sounds friendly."

Friendly? The gray cat suddenly became happy and no longer cared about the name Tang Qiuqiu. However, it did not say anything about the money it owed. Being a debt slave or something was too embarrassing for the cat.

After dealing with the white bear, everyone returned to the temporary base, cleaned up, and then took the aircraft back to the starship docked at the space port.

The gray cat walked up and down the starship with its tail erect, as if patrolling the territory. Behind the gray cat, Dumpling followed, and finally found a guy on the ship who was not human like himself. Dough was still excited.

, at least you will have someone to back you up if you get into trouble in the future.

Although the five-year mission has not yet begun, the people on the starship have not been idle. They check the food storage, energy storage, weapons and equipment, and carefully inspect the starship. The aging parts must be replaced. Since they are going to do this

If a vote is big, there should be no mistakes. Details determine success or failure.

Xilin inspected the starship together with the engineering team member on the starship. Enji, the engineering director of the starship, was also an Otopian. Unlike Badao, who was strong and strong, Enji was on the thin side. Although the Otopian's

The height is there, but in fact, in terms of weight, Enji may not be comparable to Xilin. There are many people like Enji. They will not rush to the front line of the battle, but are logistics personnel. Of course, they can stay in

The technicians of the hunter group are not ordinary people. At least they are courageous. Whenever needed, they will pick up their guns and go to the battlefield.

During the maintenance, Enji and Xilin exchanged their experiences. Enji admired Xilin very much. Although he was young, he was really talented and learned. He could see the key points of some mechanical structures at a glance, and Xilin was able to listen to opinions and suggestions with an open mind.

, which is pretty good at this age.

Enji's six arms were busy, some were holding tools, some were holding parts, and some were holding instruments, while Xilin was recording beside him.

"Okay, this section is finished. Let's take a rest first before proceeding with the maintenance of the next section."

After receiving the water from Xilin, Enji took two sips, took a breath, and looked at Xilin's records.

"Not bad, very professional record." Enji praised without hesitation, unfolded a chair, sat down, and put the tools into the tool box one by one.

"Brother Enji, what is that?" Xilin asked, pointing to Enji's tool and a small brown-red crystal inside.

"This," Enji smiled, picked up the small piece and handed it to Xilin, "Look carefully, can you guess what it is?"

Xilin took the crystal piece, which was only half the size of a thumb.

"Resin?" Xilin could identify the main components of this thing, and also saw a creature buried here. It was less than one centimeter long, with a semicircular body and multiple pairs of walking legs and one pair of chelicerae. Look

He looked a little ferocious and said, "I have never seen such a creature."

"There are many kinds of creatures in the universe. It's normal that you haven't seen them before." Enji said with a smile, "Guess where the bugs here came from?"

Xilin shook his head. Although there are many creatures that can predict their living environment based on their body shape, there are many more creatures that cannot be imagined. Xilin's intuition about the creature buried here is not simple.

Enji chuckled, took the small brown-red piece, rubbed the surface with his fingers, and sighed: "This is a parasite!"

"Parasite?!" Xilin knew that Enji was not talking about human parasites, but things that were parasitic on spacecrafts such as starships and spacecrafts that traveled in the universe.

"Yes, this is something we must pay special attention to every time we inspect the starship. We must also check it from time to time during long-distance flights. Once parasites are found, we must eliminate them in time, otherwise there will be endless troubles. It's such a small thing

Even a tiny bit, they may destroy a huge starship. They can withstand cosmic rays, withstand vacuum environments, and are firmly nailed to the aircraft, and many of the substances they secrete can corrode the aircraft, although it will not last for a while.

You can't see it, but it becomes troublesome as time goes by. By the time you actually discover it, it's already too late. You know what would happen if a hole suddenly appeared on the starship while flying in the universe and there was no time to remedy it.

situation?"

Xilin trembled unconsciously, it was so scary.

"They will also destroy some key parts of the starship, whether it is the weapon system or energy delivery pipe, or some interfaces, which may become their habitat. There are many kinds of parasites in the universe, and their preferences are also different.

, some like places with active energy, and some like places with aerobic energy. In short, all we need to do is to check all the starships regularly to eliminate future troubles."

Enji bounced the small piece in his hand and caught it: "Every time we prepare embedding fluid, small parasites like this can be embedded in embedding fluid, just like amber, and they can be sold at a high price after the mission is over.

Sell ​​it to researchers or collecting enthusiasts. Many people like to collect these cosmic parasites. To a certain extent, these cosmic parasites are also encountered but not sought. The one I have is the last five

I got it during the mission in 2016. This is just one of them. I kept one for myself and did not sell it as a souvenir. If you are interested, if parasites are found, I will ask you to come over and take a look when they are removed.

.”

"Well, thank you, Brother Enji!"

"You kid, why are you so polite? Let's go to the next area for maintenance."

After completing the inspection with Enji, Xilin was about to go back to the lounge to lie down, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard Kari yelling.

"Xilin, look at the good things your cat has done!!"

I have a cold. The weather is bad, it’s raining heavily outside, and it’s stuffy inside. I blow on the fan to keep cool.

During the rainy season, it’s probably time to “see the sea” again.
