Earth Invasion

Chapter 271 Planetary Mining
While the cooks Ai Cixiu and Li Chiqi were having headaches because of Zhang Mai's incident and SCO's abnormal behavior, the instigator of all this, Dongfang Hao, was yawning boredly on Glide No. [-].After watching the star-cutting drama of the gyratory and Rigel, Glider [-] parked at the Hilton Hotel for two days, relaxed for two days, and then replenished fresh water and other necessities of life After that, they ran to the vast universe again, and searched for the asteroid mine that they needed to mine according to the coordinates given by the Red Dragon Queen Ilaya Klenastasa.

The universe is huge, even if it is just the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, it is a very vast area for humans who have just set one foot into the second type of civilization.After all, this is a place where light needs to fly for a while.

Moreover, although this is the asteroid belt, due to the sparseness, there is no such densely packed rocks in the Jupiter or Saturn rings in the spacecraft.Most of the time, the outside of the porthole is just pitch black, and then the light of stars comes from afar.

In this case, even with the orbital parameters of this asteroid, there is no way to easily find the other party, because the shape of this asteroid is weird, coupled with the shift of the center of mass caused by continuous mining, this kind of The orbit of the asteroid mine is constantly changing, and there is no law at all.Usually, the spacecraft that intends to go to this kind of asteroid mine needs the navigation signal provided by this asteroid to find the position accurately in the vast universe.

Gliding No. [-] does not have this kind of treatment.The Red Dragon Queen did not intimately tell Dongfang Hao the communication code on the asteroid, so Glide No. [-] needs to rely on its own various communication equipment and instruments to complete this matter.

This kind of search is boring, so these things are usually thrown to the helmsman Michelangelo and the shipboard control personality Liuli.As the captain, Dongfang Hao became idle for a while.

In fact, there is one more thing that Li Chiqi did not mention in the information given to the cook, which is a memorandum of understanding between the Recycler Association and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on the cooperation of the temporary space port and the Recycler Association on the Paswell Peninsula. Agreement to make an investment.At the same time, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization reiterated its attitude towards the Assyrians without warning in the past two days, and once again clarified the basic agreement that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will never recognize slaves.At the same time, it is also stated that all slave agreements concerning the Assyrians are automatically invalidated by the SCO.That is to say, if you have an Assyrian slave, then in SCO, she/he is automatically freed.In other words, as long as they enter the SCO circle, the Assyrian is free.If he escapes, then you can only count yourself unlucky.If you don't have the eyes to go to the SCO police to call the police, nine out of ten you will be reprimanded, and it may even trigger the regulations on public security management penalties.

From these two agreements and a reaffirmation, people with a discerning eye can actually understand two things. First, the SCO Star Destroyer Dock has been opened to the Recycler Association. The above-mentioned planets should be this third person instead of themselves.

In this case, the Recycler Society uses these pirates and armed transport companies to save the population in the asteroid belt.Of course, these pirates and armed shipping companies will also cooperate.

Now on the bottom slide rail of Gliding No. [-], there is such a standard living container hanging on the Hilton Hotel.Unlike Gliding No. [-], this container is full of land warfare enthusiasts.With the cook gone, there are actually no reliable marines on Glide No. [-].If this is not the case, Dongfang Hao does not need to find a temporary partner for cooperation.Moreover, people running in space are not so easy to trust each other, so before a cooperation, both parties avoid close contact.When the task is completed and the trust between the two parties is established, these marines will come to live on the ship, and give up the living quarters below to the Assyrian slaves who got out of the asteroid.

"Found VHF high-frequency radar waves, tracking!" Just when Dongfang Hao was distracted, Sophie first discovered the situation.

"Strength! Direction!" Dongfang Hao, who immediately became energetic, almost threw himself at Sophie's seat.

"[-] megahertz! The intensity is not enough to form a stable echo, and there is no need to use electromagnetic wave cancellation devices for the time being."

"Azimuth tracking!"

"The north pole of the celestial sphere is 5.00 degrees [-] minutes, the ecliptic is [-] degrees, and the angle between the ecliptic planes is [-] degrees! The orbital deviation of the asteroid XE[-]X is within [-]%, and it is temporarily impossible to confirm whether the other party is the asteroid we are looking for." Said here , Sophie pushed her plain glasses, "We need someone to check!"

The so-called confirmation is actually a close flight on a single-seat combat boat or something else, and then use a spectral camera to take pictures of the asteroid mine, and then compare it according to the degree of damage to the asteroid's outer shell and the mineral spectrum. See if it's the asteroid you're looking for.

Generally, asteroid mines use high-frequency radar waves in the VHF band. This kind of radar waves has a long transmission distance and can also carry video image signals.The asteroid belt is not safe. This kind of radar antenna can be used as a warning first, and secondly, it can be used to guide the transport ship that supplies and transports ore for itself.Moreover, when identifying friend or foe, it is confirmed by visual images and language. Although this method is primitive, it is the most difficult to forge.Because no matter how well a stranger disguises himself, he will inevitably show his feet in language and habitual actions.

However, this time Gliding No. [-] was obviously going to smash someone's place, and Dongfang Hao himself did not intend to deceive the other party, but just to be on the safe side, he went to investigate first.Because the asteroid mining farms, especially the asteroid mining farms in such places where the birds don’t shit, are all private armed mines. These guys have set up an air defense alert circle for their mines. circle, they will fire first without hesitation.Wouldn't it be bad if Glide No. [-] broke in recklessly and the other party opened fire, and it wasn't the target he was looking for.

"Sister Xia Jia, the rear central ejection channel enters T0, ready to launch the camouflaged aircraft."

There are two ejection channels on the Glide No. [-], one is the vertical ejection channel at the rear of the bridge, which is used to launch UFP, and the other is a small ejection channel between the two ion propulsion arrays at the tail, which is used to launch Access to dinghies, personnel escape pods and small cargo spaces.This camouflaged craft is also launched from here.

"Xia Jia, pay attention to the initial speed of the catapult, don't crush me to death." An image popped up in front of Xia Jia who was ordering Liuli to pressurize the catapult. Dongfang Hao was wearing a hydraulic anti-G suit, sitting Inside the camouflage craft.In order not to waste materials, the camouflage aircraft of Glide No. [-] was refitted with a single-person lifeboat, which happened to have a place for one person.

Originally, this kind of flyby photography work was handed over to unmanned detectors, and then the shipboard control personality used neutrino communication for remote control.Once it is discovered, it will be discarded directly. Anyway, such things are consumables in the army.

But once Dongfang Hao's brain is opened, he can't stop, and this kind of search now makes him super boring.As soon as he slapped his head, this guy boarded the camouflage craft by himself.

In the non-combat state, the ion propulsion array of Glide No. [-] is turned off, and it only flies by inertia.Before launching the aircraft, Michelon had activated the attitude adjustment device so that the tail pointed at the target airspace.The camouflage aircraft is disguised as a big rock. The rock does not have an attitude adjustment engine, and can only rely on the initial speed and initial angle.

"25 G, I will try my best not to crush you to death." Xia Jia did not speak until the camouflage aircraft was fixed on the ejection channel, Xia Jia said so, and then slapped the eject button hard!
"I rely on!"

With a buzzing sound, a large black lacquered rock flew out from the top of Glide No. [-].With Dongfang Hao, he couldn't pretend to scream.

"Light on the engine, we are going to fly in a figure-eight closed route. Pay attention to the maximum distance of the opponent's radar wave warning."

The asteroid is in a revolution orbit, and now the speed of Glide No. 8 exceeds it. In order to stop approaching and enter the radar warning circle, Glide No. [-] must slow down.But this deceleration is not simply to turn on the deceleration engine. In order to maintain a good initial velocity when launching a single-seater combat boat, Glide No. [-] must keep itself at a high speed, but the displacement speed must be reduced. In this case, You can only use a circular closed route or a figure-eight closed route, using speed to change the angle.

"Milang, charge the X module. After the charging is complete, fix it in the ejection area A. If the captain needs it, eject it immediately." Xia Jia's projection appeared on the bridge.

"clear."

The X module is Dongfang Hao's UFP. Since this thing was exposed, Dongfang Hao threw it into the arsenal and never intended to dismantle it.Now that it has been exposed, then use it, Xia Jia doesn't care if there is any secret in this thing.Anyway, Zhang Mai's MTA24A2 is on Assyria, and the mission of Glide No. [-] is relatively heavy. It is understandable that the captain was caught by her.

Asteroid XE1X is a typical irregular asteroid with a long axis of 273 kilometers and an average cross-sectional area of ​​0 square kilometers. The results of panoramic scanning and spectral analysis show a mass of 49 million tons and an average density of 1. 27.This kind of high-quality asteroid is going to break the head in the private mining industry, and killing people is commonplace.Although it is more than half smaller than the asteroid cut off by the gyrator last time, it can even be directly crushed by the gyrator.But for ordinary private mine owners, this is a wealth that can make people jealous to death.Therefore, it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp to be able to mine on this kind of asteroid.On this asteroid, armed forces are definitely indispensable. It is normal to have a few UFPs, and it is not impossible to even have a small guard ship stationed there.

According to intelligence, it has been a year since the mining of this asteroid was filed, and the amount of mining is unknown.But generally speaking, there are many associated mines on asteroids. For fine mining, the annual mass consumption is generally less than [-] million tons, and the normal mining life is three to four years.From the point of view of time, now is the time when this asteroid has the largest amount of mining, and it can run smoothly until now, which shows that the owner of this asteroid is very likely to be a member of a large consortium or a mining alliance. Armed warship protection.

Dongfang Hao and the others had better be cautious and move quickly.
