Chapter 1555: Mass Effect (13)

AD.2160.2.27
Artemis galaxy, Spartan planet.
"Commander, we arrived at the destination," Kayden Aranko reported while operating quickly on the control panel: "But there is no landing area near the target location. The nearest take-off and landing field is fifty kilometers away."
"Then don't land, just throw the infantry vehicle down." Thanos said while pressing the porthole with one hand while looking out.
"Uh, are you sure? This place is full of lava and magma, and it will be a problem when the team closes later..." Kayden asked hesitantly.
"You can do it, can't you?" Thanos turned to look at him.
"Yes! Of course! I can!" Kayden's hand speed suddenly increased. "If you just throw the graytip shark down, the straight track will only be fifty, no, thirty meters, and within one kilometer of the excavation site. There is a suitable location!"
"Your method of inspiring your men is really impressive, Shepard." Gallas commented.
"I just believe that the Star Alliance arranged for me to be elite," Thanos said: "You have quietly used spiritual gems, do you think I will talk about it everywhere?"
"Huh? Elite?" Grant glanced at Corporal Jenkins.
"Sir! Please take me this time!" Jenkins snapped at attention.
"No, you still have to continue to read our combat records these days," Thanos glanced at the top of Jenkins's head: "I believe you are also elite in the original army, but you have never encountered an unknown enemy like Jies. , And maybe your talents are not necessarily in the first-line combat. Saying that you are obviously a fighter template, why are you stuffed with a bunch of engineers and supernatural skills? This messy late-stage skill set will suffer before it grows up. It’s a weird thing that two shots are not dead."
"Um..." Jenkins seemed to be persuaded, took two steps back in silence, and then looked at Ashley beside him.
"Don't look at me, rookie," Ashley patted the rifle behind her: "My position in Eden is a'gunner sergeant', which is definitely better than your academy."
"Well, everyone must believe in the captain's commanding ability, and his staffing must be reasonable." First Mate and Navigator Preliss rounded the ground.
Thanos didn't start on this topic, turned around and walked to the captain's seat to pick up the microphone.
"Everyone, I believe you are tired of the easy work of finding wreck detectors, clearing pirate lairs, capturing rebels, and clearing Jies scouts," he said, "this time we are going to deal with it, yes An entire Jies force."
"Oh oh oh—"
"It should have been like this--"
"Do it!"
The other crew members clamored.
"Different from the previous mission, this time Jies attacked a mine where the ruins of Proxen had just been excavated. If the situation is the same as the situation of the main star of Eden, we may encounter the'Reaper' again," Thanos said. One sentence calmed the crew a lot: "So, this time I will not pick someone at random and take you to'release the wind.' Instead, I will select an elite team to go deep into the mine, and the others will stay on Normandy and stay vigilant. If I make any noise below, you may have to deal with the swarms of Jies."
"I promise they won't hit me!" Kayden patted his chest.

Moments later, Spartan planet surface.
The mining methods of most civilizations in the Galaxy Alliance are basically the same: find a hill, dig a hole diagonally down, encounter a wave of ore veins, and then continue to drill down on this basis, and so on, due to the existence of mass effect technology. , There is no need to worry about landslides. This also indirectly leads to the fact that once a certain rare mineral is found on a certain planet, a large number of mines will be built at a density and speed far beyond the scope of human understanding, and will be scattered after the excavation is completed.
This behavior has been severely criticized by many scholars, and one of its consequences is...causing the over-excavated planet to become a lava planet, just like the Spartan planet.
Generally speaking, due to the abundance of materials in the Milky Way, the Galactic Alliance will basically allow this planet to enter a stage of violent geological activity, waiting for it to calm down on its own before re-adjusting the environment.
But it was different after the discovery of the Pluoxi ruins, and rescue excavations must be carried out before it was destroyed by lava and earthquakes. Perhaps it was this that attracted Jies, who somehow became interested in the Pluoxi ruins.
boom! boom!
Following a precise sniper from Galas, a giant silver-white four-legged machine crashed down and knocked away other ordinary Jies who had fallen nearby for several meters.
"This is the'Colossus of Jies'," Tally put away her small pistol, and said in a serious tone: "It is not an important defensive location. Jies will not deploy it. Perhaps this ruin is really important. "
"It's also possible that they have carried out some technological innovations and are going to consume these old models." Ashley put her large shotgun on her shoulder and looked at the entrance of the mine: "Commander, what do you say now? Let the too big Grant and the incompetent Tally look out for the wind?"
"Grant is considered a standard among the people!" The Krogan people were very dissatisfied.
"Hmm...Although I am more confident in the filtering system of my armor, too much dust in the mine is a serious threat to my immune system." Tally muttered.
"Okay, Grant and Tally stay on the surface. Galas and Ashley and I will go to explore below," Thanos nodded: "If you encounter an attack, you can call Kayden support when you feel unstoppable. ."
"Hmph, your pilot, if he was born in the Quali fleet, he would drop our operation at low altitude just now, and he would face twenty-four accusations related to dangerous driving," Tali looked up: "You have to wipe the deck for at least a month."
"A lot of accusations! What a light punishment!" Ashley laughed.
"No, due to the long-term life on ships, the immune system of the quarians has been greatly degraded. This requires wearing full-coverage armor all the time. Therefore, any contact with dirty things, such as mopping the floor, is basically dying. The edge jumped repeatedly."
"It seems that after a month of traveling, she has given up on continuing to identify the two ghosts for'betrayal'. As long as there is Jess to fight, the Querians are really easy to understand." Galas looked back and glanced. Then said.
"Hmm...? How do you feel that you have a good feeling for her?" Thanos raised his eyebrows: "Don't think about it, not only is the species different, even the gene helix is ​​reversed."
"Can't you think about it? — No, I didn't think about it at all!" Galath said angrily.
"...Do you know what'there is no silver three hundred taels'?"
