Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Raccoon City Airport.

Completed on November 1, 2009, until a month ago, on June 30, 2012, the airport added two more terminals.

Since the completion of the Raccoon City Airport, it has won numerous honors such as "Most Advanced" and "The Well-deserved Number One", and its scale far exceeds that of all airports in the solar system.

The Raccoon City Airport is also a rail transportation hub for Colorado and even the entire North America. When the "cargo ships" and "cruise ships" enter the port, they can immediately transport goods and tourists to all over the Americas.

View from above.

Dozens of small boats with almost the same appearance and a length of about 100 meters are moored close to the ground in an airport that looks like a city.

Each terminal has ten bridges connecting these ships.

And above the forest on the north side of the airport, there are eight pioneer-type engineering ships with a length of more than 300 meters, and two engineering ships that are similar in appearance to the pioneer-type, but 100 meters longer than the pioneer-type engineering ships.

These ten large ships kept a distance of less than a hundred meters from each other, lined up, and hovered in mid-air a hundred meters above the ground.

It was two laps larger than the Fishing Gull, but it was a civilian transport boat without any weapon attachments, and it went to and from the airport and ten large ships.

If you look at it from a distance, although you can feel that there are a large number of transport boats, they all have their own waterways, and they transport or unload passengers and cargo in an orderly manner.

The functions and responsibilities of the transport boat are similar to the shuttle bus at the airport.

For the animals living in the forest north of the airport, the sky is almost always covered by the sun, and the sun can only get sufficient light in the early morning and evening.

But for passengers who come to the airport for the first time, it is a rare spectacle.

The passengers couldn't help but took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and then marked the location and posted it on social networking sites.

However, many residents who live nearby have become accustomed to the behemoth parked here when they drive or take the maglev train passing by the airport.

This is especially true for those who have visited the airport many times.

Among them, Isaac and a group of Umbrella workers were included.

Among the ten engineering ships hovering above the forest in the north, eight pioneer models are leased by the company for "official organizations" to explore, mine and colonize the solar system.

The other two are Umbrella's own models, Pioneer II engineering ships equipped with warp engines.

Of course, in order to speed up human exploration and construction in the solar system, the Pioneer I leased to the "official organization" is also equipped with a warp engine.

Those ships that can berth in the airport do not have the ability to jump, they are just "ordinary" flights between the earth and the moon.

After all, on the front of the moon, the mining base jointly built by the multinational government that was in charge of the company and the predecessor of the "official organization" after the White Queen, after nearly ten years of development, is no longer as simple as a base, but a colony with a population of nearly nine million.

You should know that the date when Umbrella announced the nuclear fusion technology and the Pioneer I engineering ship and other products was January 1, 2003.

It has been more than nine years since 2003, when the construction of the mining base was announced to the public. Today, July 30, 2012.

The original multinational governments began to promulgate many colonial policies in mid-2007, providing benefits and even bonuses to encourage people to relocate their families and participate in the construction of the colony.

At the same time, in order to cope with the colonial wave, various multiple birth policies were promulgated.

Although netizens are always teasing and posting jokes such as "I dare not have children" and "I can't afford to have children", the population growth is indeed significant.

As of the census at the beginning of 2012, the global population, including the total colonial population, is approximately 7.41336 billion.

at this time.

The bus carrying Isaac and others left the expressway, entered the interior of the airport using the fast lane, and finally arrived at the special parking area of ​​Umbrella.

Isaac, sitting on the right side of the carriage, looked out through the single-sided window and saw a large number of employee buses belonging to Umbrella.

The bus stopped.

"Huh~!" A worker whistled, got up and took down the suitcase and said to everyone: "It's another beautiful working day, everyone cheer up!"

"Just for this sentence, after you are off work today, you have to treat guests to drink." Another worker joked.

"I beg you, I beg you, let's go!"

"Hahaha! Refreshing!"

A group of people were talking and laughing, and Isaac also took down the suitcase and walked out of the bus with his fellow workers.

Next, they left the parking area with colleagues from other departments of the company, passed through the peripheral security check, and walked into the lobby of Area A of the airport.

just walked in...

"Passengers taking flight UM076, please note that check-in for this flight will end at 10:10. Passengers who have not checked in for this flight should go to counter 27 as soon as possible. Thank you."

"Passengers attention..."

Isaac heard various reminders from the hall broadcast.

In addition to the broadcast reminder, the lobby of Area A was full of voices, and people of different identities and countries gathered here.

A man in a suit, after hearing the broadcast, ran towards counter 27 with a paper cup of coffee in his left hand and a brown briefcase in his right.

There is also a family of three who have completed the formalities and checked in their luggage, wearing floral shirts and shorts, walking through the crowd unhurriedly.

Apart from these civilians, what Isaac deserves to pay more attention to are the "soldiers" who cooperate with the security personnel at the entrance and exit to maintain order.

I saw three heavily armed soldiers standing at the security checkpoint, looking around the crowd expressionlessly.

The soldiers wear dark green combat uniforms, hold MA series rifles, and wear titanium alloy armor to protect key parts, and the right eye of the helmet also has a holographic display.

The first impression these three soldiers gave Isaac was that they were like the armed security guards of their company a few years ago.

But the insignia resembling the United Nations is engraved on the left shoulder armor, representing the identities of these three soldiers, not Umbrella's security, but the UNSC's army.

Because the badge is also engraved with a string of letters, it is United Nations Space Command (United Nations Space Command), referred to as UNSC.

The "official organization" currently cooperating with Umbrella is the Unified Earth Government (UEG for short).

The predecessor of UEG is the United Nations, which is composed of the governments of all countries on the earth. The UNSC, which is responsible for military affairs, is under the jurisdiction of UEG.

The governments of various countries officially announced the establishment of UEG and UNSC at the United Nations General Assembly held on October 1, 2008.

Even though the governments of various countries have made many explicit and advance preparations and deployments before the conference, they still caused great changes in the world that year. Fortunately, the storm was quickly suppressed.

As an employee, Isaac knew that UEG and UNSC would soon be on the right track in all aspects, and Umbrella could not be separated from them.

In addition, four years have passed, and the vast majority of people around the world have gradually adapted to the life of UEG and UNSC.
