Vol 2 Chapter 30: Preparation before the war

Red pupil dialed the image of the planet, made it rotate a few times, and continued, "Of course, no matter how bad the environment is, we can still send people in. But the result is often not worth the money, so in the past it didn't pay at all. Will come into our view. "
Endless deep space, there are countless galaxies and more planets, not every planet is worth developing, and even most galaxies do not even have the value of exploring once on the ground.
Interplanetary development and colonization require huge amounts of funds. From early exploration to later colonization, it often takes hundreds of years or more. It doesn't make sense to send a boat and a few people to strange galaxies. For the kind of immigration starship that can easily carry 100,000 people, the capacity of Shengtang's national power is limited. It must have a clear and sufficient prospect of return before Shengtang will issue an immigration starship.
In a place with a terrible natural environment such as Planet Four, it is common practice for humans to mark things on the star map after discovery. Maybe hundreds of years later, no one will be interested in exploring.
If this time it hadn't been watching the federal change, I'm afraid Chitong would not have noticed the planet.
"Your mission is to land on Planet Four and see what the fellows have done on it."
This is a unity of exploration and combat, and should be one of the most common types of missions. There is no objection to the return of Chu Jun from the mission itself, just asking: "How do we land? Rely on the single armour propeller?"
Chitong naturally knew Chu Jungui's concerns and said, "Don't worry, the mission will provide a landing ship specially designed for high-risk planets, and the ship will also be equipped with survival kits specially designed for survival in dangerous environments. They are equipped with the highest-level survival kits, so as long as the planet's surface is not full of flowing magma, you don't have to worry about not being able to survive. Even if it is really magma, it will help you to rescue. "
"So how is the cost calculated?" This is what Chu Jungui really cares about.
"The landing ship and survival kit are both free supplies provided within the scope of the mission. According to your needs, the first two airdrops of materials are also free, and the billing starts from the third time. If you feel that the mission cannot be completed midway, you can also call Return, we will send a dedicated shuttle starship to pick you up and return to the base. If the mission is successful, the return service is free. If the mission fails, then the return service will be charged half the cost, and it will be charged after the event, no matter what you owe on your account No matter how much money you have, you don't have to worry about not getting back the service. "
It sounds beautiful and perfect, but the more it often means the greater the risk. Chu Jun himself is not afraid of death, he is worried about Lin Xi.
But before he asked any more, Miss Lin said, "What is the reward for the task?"
Hitomi smiled slightly and said, "The most basic reward is five million, plus a seventh-class starship, of course, the basic model."
Upon hearing the starship, Miss Lin immediately said: "I accept!"
"Wait a minute ..." Chu Jun had no time to object, and the mission information had been transmitted.
"The trip will be arranged soon, and good luck to you." Chitong smiled slightly, took out a box from the nearby cabinet, handed it over, and said, "Yes, this is a small gift I personally give you." . "
Chu Jungui looked ugly, and he was not polite. He took the box open and looked at it for a moment.
In the box was the old-fashioned pistol that Chu Longtu gave him. At the moment, it was shiny and apparently well-maintained. Earlier, when Chu Jun returned to the mobile base, his whole body was taken away. There was nothing valuable on him, only this pistol was somewhat memorable. However, since Chu Longtu is still alive, then a gun is nothing, and it is not a big deal if he does not return.
Chu Jun wanted to wait for a while to try it, but I didn't expect Chitong to send the gun back in person, as a gift to himself.
Is there anything weird in this gun?
Chu Jun returned to pick up the pistol and found that the weight almost doubled.
"You keep this gun with you all the time, and you can see that it has a special meaning. In order for it to accompany you during the mission, I have made a special modification to it to strengthen the structure of the gun body. If necessary, you can even use it as an armor block. "
Hitomi pointed the bullets in the finger box again and said, "These bullets are enough to meet your daily mission needs, but you must be careful when using them."
Looking at these bullets painted in faint blue, Chu Jun felt a little uncomfortable instinctively.
Sure enough, Akimi said: "They are both small fission bombs, roughly equivalent to about 1 ton of high-performance explosives. When converted to traditional equivalents, it is about 100 tons. So please do not use it indoors, and do n’t stand by you The opposite enemy shot. "
Hitomi joked, but Chu Jungui didn't find it funny. The power of general military high-energy explosives in this era is more than a hundred times the power of TNT. But whether it is 1 ton of high-energy explosives or 100 tons of ordinary TNT, Chu Jungui is unwilling to stand within 100 meters of his heart, and he does not want to be within 500 meters.
Such a powerful bullet has to be made into a pistol. Chu Jungui is very suspicious of Chi Tong's intentions.
Chitong didn't seem to think so much, and continued, "These ten fission bombs are my personal gift, and more will be charged."
Chu Jungui silently closed the lid, and Lin Xi left Chitong's office. On the way back to the residential area, Chu Jungui couldn't help but say, "You shouldn't agree."
"Why? This is just an exploration mission, and the rewards are good, as well as the starship!" Lin Xi looked at him with amused expression.
"The condition of that planet may be worse than expected. No one knows what will be encountered on the planet's surface. And the federal people are still throwing troops into the planet. We have no idea how long they have been on it and have already stockpiled How many troops have been assembled. This mission is likely to die! "
"Are you afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm not afraid."
"I'm not afraid."
"but……"
"Nothing but EbookFREE.me ~ I just want to be with you. Where do you go, where do I go! Why, not welcome?"
No matter how simple the test subject is, it can't really be said unwelcome, even though he thinks so.
But at this moment the metaphysical component reminds again and again that this trip must be risky, and he cannot ignore it completely.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Chu Jungui sighed and said, "You know I don't want you to go with me."
"If you don't want me to follow, then you shouldn't have disturbed my wedding."
"That's ... the task."
"What the is the task, who did it?"
Chu Jun was speechless for a while, and he himself could not explain why the content of the mission changed, and how could he explain it to Lin Xi?
Seeing that Chu Jun couldn't answer, Lin Xi looked at his chest and said, "I won't force you anyway, you don't want to leave me anyway. Now the final preparations before the task: eat, sleep!"
