Tianhe Star Field.

This is a starry sky located in the Devil's Triangle Galaxy.

Although the new federal government considers itself to have occupied and owned the entire galaxy, in reality, humanity has never really done so.

There are more than 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and a large number of star clusters, nebulae, and star fields are innumerable. However, there are no more than 100,000 planets where the new federation has truly completed interstellar migration, of which 98% of the planets are resource planets such as minerals, and only less than one percent of the planets are habitable planets with a large number of populations, while on most resource stars, only one base is usually deployed, and only a very small number of people exist.

Tianhe 4 is such a resource star.

It is about twice the diameter of the Earth and is rich in a mineral with a high melting point. Over the past few hundred years, the planet has been dug up by mining ships like a pockmarked seed. After the value of this planet was exhausted, humanity abandoned this place to find new target planets suitable for mining, and only the base that was once built on this planet remained here forever.

No one knew that a few decades ago, the base of the Tianhe-4 star was secretly opened again.

It is like a torch in the dark night, illuminating the darkness of Tianhe-4 and breaking the dead silence here. This time, of course, it was no longer used as a mining base, but as a secret research institute of the Federal Academy of Sciences.

With the existence of the institute, the Tianhe galaxy has also begun to be lively.

The first is to have a Warrior-class mecha mothership as the flagship, with a fleet of six Guard-class battleships and twelve conventional frigates appearing on a planet near Tianhe Four.

Where there were people, there was trade, and then a large number of caravans began to come and go to serve the fleet.

And then more people came to this star field.

Eighty years ago, magnet ore was discovered on a nearby planet, which can be refined into high-purity magnetized crystals, which are often used in some sensing devices or high-sensitivity triggering devices. As a result, some mining companies, such as sharks that smell blood type, have swarmed, bringing with them a large number of people.

In this way, the once barren Tianhe Star Domain prospered again.

But no matter how prosperous it is, Tianhe IV is always alone. The Tianhe fleet does not allow any immigrants and miners to enter it, and the main living area of the people is on the Tianhe-2 satellite, which is 130 million kilometers away from the fourth star.

Tianhe-2 is a rocky planet, surrounded by a spectacular asteroid belt, where a large number of layers of debris are piled up, gravitationally moving around the orbit of the second star.

Tianhe-2 has a rotation period of 36 hours and 48 minutes, and an orbital period of 4,200 days, which means that it has 36 hours in a day, and every 4,200 days is a year.

Since it is not a habitable planet that has been heavily renovated, the people here mainly live in Base City.

Base City is a common practice used by humans when colonizing the planet.

The vast majority of planets in the universe are unsuitable for human habitation, and the project of transforming a planet is extremely expensive and time-consuming, often hundreds of years. For some planets that are only intended to be used for resource extraction, and are not intended to live for a long time, the planet transformation project is undoubtedly not cost-effective.

This is where the base city comes into being.

It is far less time-consuming and labor-intensive to build a barrier on a planet through a plasma field and build one's own human survival system in this zone than to transform a planet.

It was in this situation that the city of Sahato Base existed on the Tianhe-2 star.

The huge canopy of the plasma force field is like a giant glass bowl that clasps the base city upside down in the cover, sheltering it from the wind and rain. Outside is a desert-like planet, with a low temperature of nearly 200 degrees below zero, and inside is a bustling city, rows of high-rise buildings, and flying cars flying all over the sky.

People who are busy with their lives do not know that tens of millions of kilometers away from Star 2, a starship is jumping out.

Abrodius.

"Jump out and finish!"

"Photon absorber start-up complete."

"Stop engines one and two."

"Into the darkness and silence."

With the final order, Abrody was like a light, lit up in the distant night sky and then quickly fell into darkness, and even the only photon fluctuation was sucked away by the photon absorber at the same time as it was born—this light disappeared completely into the sky before it could reach No. 2.

The Abrody was like a quiet swimming fish in the dark, slowly approaching the direction of Tianhe-2.

"Detect the loss of the whole ship and calibrate the distance of the ring." Renault gave orders in an orderly manner.

"In the distance detection, the current position is 724 million kilometers away from the Tianhe-2 satellite and 721 million kilometers away from the ring belt, and it takes about six standard Earth days to reach the target at normal speed." One of the pilots quickly came to a conclusion.

"It's too slow, and it will increase the risk that the Tianhe Fleet will find us."

"There is no way, in order to avoid being discovered, we can't jump out of a place relatively close to Tianheer, and we are moving silently, and the engine power is forced to decrease." Snyder replied.

Renault's fingers twitched rhythmically on the podium, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Turn on the limit state and let the engine reach one-tenth of the speed of light." ”

This answer surprised Snyder: "Extreme flying in silence puts a huge load on the four engines and causes damage. ”

Renault replied firmly: "We have to get to our destination in the shortest possible time." As for engine damage...... I'll bring back a new engine, and I'll pass on the order. ”

"Red Nose is going crazy." Snyder said a word, and flew out on the commuter. In a state of silence, all heralds must be in the most primitive way.

Snyder was right, the old man with the red nose was really crazy.

Parma angrily rushed into the command hall: "I took all the effort to ensure that the wear and tear of the four engines was reduced to a minimum, and they could even make another jump without repairing, and now I plan to destroy them for the sake of a distance of two thousand four hundred light seconds?" ”

"It's just four conventional engines, and those four ion engines will still be intact." Renault replied.

"Don't give me this set, without those four conventional engines, the ion engine is waste, and it can't afford to take off from the ground. The ion engine is characterized by low energy consumption and can continuously absorb quantum vacuum energy from the void, it is the main force of the follow-up, and the conventional engine is the main thrust to start! ”

Renault shook his head: "The Abrody will not fall to the ground, it will stay in the gravel belt of the Star Ring Zone. I'll also come back with four regular engines. ”

"What did you say?" The red-nosed old man froze: "Are you kidding?" Then how do you get to Tianhe Four? ”

Renault replied: "We will not go directly to Tianhe 4, but to Tianhe 2 first, and then make a decision through there to understand the situation." ”

Tianhe is guarded by an entire fleet, and Renault doesn't think he can rely on an Abrodic to cover the entire fleet.

So in the end, this had to be done in secret.

The old man understood what he meant: "Then who are you going to take with you?" ”

"Claire is gathering information on all the soldiers, and I'll have to make some selections based on their abilities. I mean...... Some suitable for diving. Renault replied with a smile: "I will buy some equipment in Saharto that Abrodi needs, and if I can, I will try to bring back four regular engines." ”

The old man pouted disdainfully: "With those 30 million bearer bonds and three Yuga crystals, you can't get the engines of four overlord-class starships." ”

As a starship sent to carry out the mission of the Relic, Abrody belongs to the Overlord-class starship in the New Federation sequence, and it is also the highest-level starship, below which are the Warrior class and the Guards class. But it is precisely because of this that its engine is also very difficult to get, even if you have money, it is difficult to get it, not to mention that 130 million is not enough.

"It's not about money, it's about people." Renault replied.

That's when Claire came along.

She handed Renault a copy of the abilities of all the soldiers of the Free Heart.

To Renault's surprise, Claire categorized all the superpowers.

She divides all her abilities into five categories: Enhancement, Control, Psychics, Transformation, and Mystery.

Among them, the enhancement class is the kind that is mainly used to enhance one's own abilities, such as Tycos's full-body metallization.

The control class uses energy manipulation as the main means of expression, Renault's telekinesis manipulation, Stark's fire manipulation and Nora's energy control all belong to this category.

The mind class is the kind of ability that can directly affect the mind, including influencing people's thinking, emotions, and even listening to the mind.

Change-type classes have the ability to change objects and human bodies, the latter of which can usually only act on themselves. The timing, function, and effect of the changes vary from person to person. The powerful ability to change can even change the properties of matter at the microscopic level to form special substances, which is of great significance. Soldiers like the one who can transform into dolls fall into this category.

The mystical class is some extremely rare special abilities, and if the first four classes can still understand some of its existence mechanism, then the mysterious class is difficult to understand. Its mechanism of existence is not understood, unimaginable, and difficult to understand, and in this case, it is classified as mysterious. For example, prophecy, time, space, and other extremely special and rare abilities are classified as mysterious.

In addition to this, Claire also made a hierarchy for these five types of abilities, which are from one to five.

This is because according to Sarah's research, she believes that all people's abilities can be increased, and although the way of growth is not completely certain, during this period of trial and error, Sarah has confirmed that if she uses her abilities continuously, she can indeed see a small increase. Although the progress is slow, there is no denying that it has growth.

Since there is potential for improvement, there will naturally be high and low, so Claire has set a five-level system, and according to Claire's current division, everyone is currently in the first level state. As for when it will be promoted to level two...... Then Claire has to decide.

All in all, Claire just made a roster and set a standard for everyone.

It's just that this system is only a sketch at present, and it still lacks practical application, and the estimation and specific evaluation system are not perfect in all aspects.

"I didn't expect you to be so idle." Renault said with a smile.

"It's not idleness, it's epoch-making." Claire replied, "Haven't you found it yet?" Renault, we are ushering in a new world. And you and I are the founders of this new world and new order. Believe me, if one day, superpowers really spread in human society, this system will become the common standard of the whole universe. ”

"And we are the walkers of this system, and we are also its founders."

"We call the shots of our rank!"
