Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"All crew members in cabin 3, welcome colleagues to come to Mars, now the ship is about to enter the atmosphere, please pay attention..."

"."

Isaac did not listen carefully to the precautions that the purser said, but continued to watch the scenery outside the ship through the porthole.

The "proportion" of the surface of Mars to the portholes is increasing, indicating that the Pioneer II they are riding is passing through the thin atmosphere of Mars.

After entering the atmosphere completely, the scenery outside the window is somewhat different from that seen outside the atmosphere.

Although the soil is reddish-orange, it is almost the same as the barren areas of the earth, and even the sky is blue.

The employees, including Isaac, have long been used to this.

And seeing this scene, the worker who said he was treating guests to a drink even said, "The weather in Mars City is good today, suitable for drinking!"

As the worker said, the weather in this area is fine.

The Martian soil contains a lot of iron oxide, that is, rust. The reason why it looks like a fiery planet is because the surface often has sandstorms, which make the rust-containing dust fly.

But when the weather is good, as it is now, it will present an environment similar to Earth.

As for the destination they are going to, the "Mars City" built on the equatorial plain of Mars can have a maximum ambient temperature of over 20°C, and even the lowest temperature will not be lower than -6°C.

No wonder many people on Earth speculate that the environment of Mars hundreds of millions of years ago may be similar to that of Earth, and may be more suitable for breeding life than Earth.

Since Umbrella and UEG jointly built the "Mars City" and launched a detailed exploration of Mars, many microbial fossils have been discovered, proving that Mars did indeed have an environment that bred life.

However, until now, human beings have not found traces of the existence of higher creatures.

Next, Pioneer II sailed in the air for a few minutes, and the city of Mars appeared in Isaac's field of vision.

Mars City is actually composed of many "dome cities".

More than a dozen urban areas of different sizes, like a huge "glass cover" on the ground, surrounded the largest urban area in the center, forming a colony with a population of more than four million.

The so-called "glass cover" is actually made of battleship-grade α-type titanium alloy and amorphous carbon glass that is as strong as the porthole of the ship's hull, thus creating a dome that protects the colonial city.

From a distance, the dome composed of α-alloy brackets and amorphous carbon glass is like a semicircular transparent honeycomb buckled on the urban area.

Although the atmosphere of Mars is not comparable to that of Earth, it is far above the moon, so colonial cities do not need to be built below the surface.

And there are a large number of sealed passages and tunnels between urban areas and urban areas for the passage of vehicles and rail trains.

The Ares star port mentioned by the purser just now is located in the east of Mars City, second only to the central urban area in scale, and the shape of the dome is close to a rectangle.

At this time, above the star port, there is a Pioneer II belonging to Umbrella and two Pioneer I belonging to UEG moored.

Thanks to the technology brought by the Griffin, the transport boat that acts as a "ferry car" can quickly pass through the air valve emitting a light blue light on the top of the star port, and directly enter and exit the dome and the pioneer hangar.

The wide application of new air valves has greatly improved the efficiency of extraterrestrial and space construction.

Afterwards, the Pioneer II carrying Isaac and the others also hovered above the star port.

In fact, the real flight does not take long, the time-consuming thing is waiting, which is why there is a flight attendant service team in each cabin.

But the engine accidents and delays they experience today are extremely rare.

It shouldn't be unusual...

Forget it, Isaac no longer thinks about the engine accident, after all, he can reach Mars safely.

The next crew continued to provide services for everyone. After waiting for 20 minutes, it was their turn to transfer to the transport boat for the people in cabin 3.

The transport boat carried Isaac and the others away from Pioneer II, and after a brief exposure to the Martian atmosphere, they entered the interior of the star port through the air valve, and finally landed on the tarmac.

The terminal building protrudes from the corridor bridge and is connected to the transport boat for Isaac and the others to go to the terminal building.

Those who walked out of the corridor bridge came to an open area, and everyone in cabin 3 went to the baggage claim area under the terminal building, while a dozen of them walked at the back of the line.

"Oh~!" Zhang Ha, a worker, stretched his hands high and said, "I'm going to drive an SCV again, hey."

"Stop complaining, it's always safer to drive an SCV than to fight an abnormal MTF."

"That's right. I heard that intelligence agents are more dangerous. Those mysterious guys are the first to come into contact with anomalies."

At this time, a blond man dressed in black overalls and a desert-colored shirt, and a blond woman dressed similarly got out of the transport boat last, and passed by their group of workers who were still chatting.

"Hey, Clark." Looking at the backs of the two blonde men and women, a worker approached Isaac and asked in a low voice:

"Do you think those two are intelligence agents?"

"Who knows?"

Isaac shrugged and said he didn't care. He just wanted to complete the task of building the colony as soon as possible, and then he could go home early.

The man in overalls didn't know that he was being ridiculed by Isaac's co-workers, but told the woman beside him:

"Later, I will take you to understand the general situation of Mars City, and then take you to Phobos and Deimos. You must know that you will spend a long period of time in the future in the Mars colony.

Although the total population of the colony is less than five million, the company's plan is to use Mars as a base for construction, so you must not let your guard down, Shirley. "

"Don't worry, Uncle Kennedy." The woman named Shirley accepted it humbly.

Taking a closer look at Shirley, who has short female hair, she looks similar to William Birken, a researcher at Umbrella, and seems to have some shadows of Birken's wife Annette.

Shirley's true identity is the daughter of the Birken couple. She was only 12 years old in 1998, and now she is 26 years old.

As soon as she came to the escalator, the "Uncle Kennedy" who went to the luggage claim area was Leon S. Kennedy.

That worker must have never thought of a random joke just to find a topic, and he made a mistake, and actually made a joke about a real intelligence agent, Leon, who is still a top intelligence agent.

Previously, Isaac's co-workers also said whether it was an abnormal phenomenon that caused the engine of the spacecraft to change, which is actually completely correct in a sense.

After all, any means of transportation is not easy to handle with Lyon.

What is even more unexpected is that the 36-year-old Leon still looks very young, with the same blonde hair parted for thousands of years.

If other people don't know the actual situation, they will only regard Leon as a newcomer who has just joined Umbrella and was assigned to Mars.
