Super Mothership

"Wow! Is this the Third Crescent City? Great~ Awesome!" A blond girl with an angelic face said from the space elevator overlooking the steel city below the floor-to-ceiling windows, with her mouth open.

Looking down from the high-speed descending space elevator, the Third Crescent City is located in an oversized crater, like a flaming phoenix radiating light all over its body. Countless lights illuminate it like daytime. The steel buildings are shining and beautiful.

"Yeah! The future business focus of our 'Ghost Brigade' will be the immigrant city in the new era!" Beside the girl, a black-haired man pointed at the city below with a high-spirited smile and said.

"Crack!" A camera shutter sounded, and a fat man beside the two grinned with scissors and took a group photo with the Third Crescent City.

The rest of the skinny people sat in their seats, calmly operating on their terminal at high speed, focused and devoted.

The three men and one woman in this box are Chris and Alice who have formed a small group.

The Ghost Brigade, a small group of four active in the solar system recently, has a certain reputation, and its members include the intelligence officer "Alice", the combat leader "Fat Man", the technical support "Pork Ribs", and the mysterious team leader "The Hermit" .

This group not only formed an adventure guild in the virtual network, but also had considerable financial resources. It purchased a small transport spaceship from the Atlantis company at a high price. Space exploration capabilities.

The Ghost Brigade is also one of the few small groups with private spaceships, belonging to the first group of non-governmental organizations in the nature of adventure groups.

According to Chris's development plan, although the brigade can only undertake some interstellar freight or small orders for mineral exploration to earn development funds, the future business will expand to space exploration and develop in the direction of interstellar adventure groups .

With the advent of the era of the great voyage of the universe, the expansion of human activities, the demand for similar business is growing day by day, coupled with the employment of ghost captains, the market potential is huge.

Chris knew that with his initial capital, it was impossible to compete with those big countries and organizations, so he took the second place and set his sights on the interstellar service industry with a slightly lower threshold.

A large number of small countries and organizations that want to join the development of the universe, but suffer from no funds to buy spaceships, are all potential customer groups for the Ghost Brigade.

And this time, the four of them received a cargo mission, and while the spacecraft was unloading at the spaceport, they came to visit the lunar city on the way.

The thin man began to explain to the crowd while browsing the personal terminal in his hand.

"According to the information disclosed by the media, this space immigrant city was developed with the expansion of Captain Ghost's third lunar base, covering an area of ​​more than 150 square kilometers and eventually able to accommodate a population of more than one million.

It uses more than 80 million engineering robots of various types, and the architectural style is jointly designed by the top three architects' associations in the virtual world. It consumes more than 300 million tons of steel, and the total construction time is less than half a year. Belief in a ghost event'. "

Chris nodded and immediately frowned, "However, its first batch of immigration qualifications are very strict. Except for the senior scientific research scholars registered in the virtual technology tree and some special talents, there is only an immigration quota allocated to each country in proportion to the population.

We currently only have tourist visas, and it may not be easy to obtain resident qualifications here in a short period of time. "

"Hey! It's certainly not easy to immigrate to Third Crescent City, but I have inside information!" Alice turned around and smiled slyly.

"Let's not say that the next large-scale immigration is about to start, the immigration requirements will be relaxed to a certain extent, and since the headquarters of Atlantis moved here, as an employee of the company, I have the qualifications for internal recommendation. !

As long as I have citizenship, I can invite a company to settle in in my own name.

It is said that in order to avoid excessive monopoly of space resources by major powers and consortia and stimulate market competition, private groups like us will even enjoy Atlantis' support policy for small and micro enterprises and obtain preferential special loans. "

Chris's eyes lit up, "Oh? This is a good method. This immigrant city has great potential and will definitely become a bridgehead for mankind to enter the universe. The sooner we settle in, the greater the advantage in the later stage!"

"But..." Christon paused and looked at Alice, "Once we immigrate, we probably need to develop here for a long time.

The three of us are nothing, I am alone, and they both grew up in welfare centers, but I remember Alice, you seem to have a brother? "

"My brother?" Alice curled her lips when she heard the words, "That guy joined the Earth Defense Force not long ago, saying that he wanted to follow his former comrades to fight the sea of ​​stars, and he had long forgotten his sister!"

Alice's older brother, Mattiah, a former crew member of the USS Florida.

The first group of virtual technology experimenters were obviously patients with Stockholm Syndrome. After being released by the ghost captain, everyone was conquered by the technology of the captain, and resolutely chose the "pro-you faction" armed group Earth Defense Force.

It is said that after completing the space environment adaptation training, he will be sent to the earth defense chain to garrison.

"Okay! That's no problem, our ghost brigade will start from the third crescent city, and the goal is to become the first adventure group in the universe!"

"Oh!" "Yeah!" "Roar!" The three responded with arms raised.

After looking forward to a bright future, the three of them had a lively discussion about this lunar city.

"The various facilities of the Third Crescent City are the crystallization of the current top technology, and the public management has been fully intelligentized, and the public facilities are fully unmanned. Its central control core is the super artificial who controls the virtual world under the command of the ghost captain. Smart 'Goddess of Wisdom'.

We want to develop here, and it is no longer feasible to treat guests to dinner. We must try our best to complete some contribution tasks and improve our citizen rights. "The thin man raised his glasses and said.

"Goddess of Wisdom? I heard that the weapon systems of the Third Crescent City and the surrounding unmanned bases are under her full control. I really want to see the ghost weapons in full force..." Fatty was fascinated.

The "Goddess of Wisdom" is an artificial intelligence with super-intelligence in the ghost organization, active in various virtual worlds, managing hundreds of millions of robots with countless clones, and is the most frequent member of the ghost organization. It is also affectionately called "Lieutenant Captain".

Because of its huge technology library reserves and almost omniscient extraordinary performance, it has been shocked by the top leaders in the scientific world of various countries, and is known as the "Goddess of Wisdom" on the side of science and technology, and then this title has been widely circulated.

According to rumors, the Goddess of Wisdom has extremely high wisdom. Although ordinary people can only access ordinary smart templates that are relatively rigid, it is said that with the increase of their own authority, they can access more advanced "Goddess of Wisdom clones".

There is also a saying circulating on the Internet that the "Smile Goddess" diplomat who once appeared at the United Nations conference is very likely to be the advanced descendant of this "Wisdom Goddess"!

Although the behavioral pattern of the code name is highly anthropomorphic, it is not difficult for the intelligence agencies and news media of various countries who have repeatedly studied all the information of the ghost captain to analyze the clues.

For the emergence of this kind of super artificial intelligence, people on earth calmly accept it. After all, the world was almost destroyed once, and the ghost captain even beat the aliens. What else is unacceptable?

As for whether this advanced artificial intelligence will have the tendency to destroy the world like "Skynet", "Matrix", etc. Human beings are more calm that we have a ghost captain.

After all, in terms of force, the technology side is still slightly inferior to the mysterious side...

"Yeah! According to my brother and the crew of the USS Florida who was fortunate enough to be kidnapped by Captain Ghost, the number one brain under this Captain Ghost has a very mysterious "code name".

Because no one has ever been able to understand what the codename in the system prompt is...

It is also for this reason that "the code name of the goddess of wisdom", together with "the heart of the ghost captain" and "the treasure of Atlantis", are tied for the "seven unsolved mysteries of the ghost captain". "

Alice has a strong curiosity about all rumors about Captain Ghost, and even those entertainment gossips are relished.

"The seven unsolved mysteries of Captain Ghost? What are the other ones?" Chris asked curiously.

"Hehe! This fourth unsolved mystery happens to be related to the Third Crescent City!" Alice squinted her eyes and said mysteriously.

"It is reported that the reason why Captain Ghost named this immigrant city 'Third Crescent City' is not for nothing, but because the city has a huge underground space, which is the secret base of Captain Ghost.

The headquarters of the mysterious organization to which the legendary ghost captain belongs is located there.

Legend has it that in the secret base under the city, there is also a super weapon of the ghost captain buried in the secret base, which can destroy the star and destroy the super magic weapon "Longinus Spear"!

The 'Underground Magical Soldier of the Third Crescent City' is the fourth of these seven unsolved mysteries..."
