I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 559 The Fire of Prometheus

Earth orbit, Lexington II.

After a long voyage, Lexington [-] finally saw the familiar blue planet, and the three astronauts who were tortured by the low-gravity environment could not help but smile on their faces.

They have been away from their home planet for some time, and compared to the common people on Earth, the sense of separation between them is so great.

For these people, human beings have already entered the stage of deep space colonization, and different companies are building brand new colonies in Earth orbit, on the moon, Mars, and even the more distant Kuiper belt.

As far as humans on Earth are concerned, the news about space that is closest to them is the news that the Arasaka Group spent a lot of money to build a Crystal Palace in Earth orbit.

For example, when Night City and the Crystal Palace were first built, the Arasaka Group even bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot once in Night City, and went to the Crystal Palace for a three-day tour, trying to shake the status of the dead man's lottery.

But after all, they still underestimated Night City's love for violent elements. The people at the bottom just wanted to know how many unlucky people who were more unlucky than themselves turned into corpses and were sent to the garbage dump yesterday.

In contrast, the three-day trip to the Crystal Palace is more like a Barbie doll received by the Boy Scouts of Africa for Christmas, which belongs to the scope of black humor.

Generally speaking, things like aerospace, after the corporate war, have changed from a civilization-climbing event with the country as the main body, representing the interests of all mankind, to an enterprise or even more specifically, a certain capital entity that has a large amount of resources. , Out of personal preference, or a conspiracy based on a small range of family interests.

And a few new technologies are not so much the advancement of aerospace, but actually more like the behavior of those capital entities showing off their newly bred thoroughbred racehorses and ordering yachts.

The history of the ship Lexington II can be traced back to the golden age of the Federation. NASA completed the keel laying of the ship and the manufacture of the prototype engine. The Military Technology Group only completed the follow-up parts, such as the driving system, life support system, etc. wait.

Human civilization can't even manufacture a brand new Lexington II, because the integrated keel laying technology and that engine are like black technology pulled out of Da Vinci's manuscripts, unless they Carry out destructive dismantling of Lexington II, otherwise it will be difficult to complete technical replication.

Of course, the board of directors at that time did not allow this kind of behavior to destroy valuable assets, which was neither economical nor reasonable.

Does military technology need to recreate the technology of a spacecraft like Lexington [-]?They don't need to, because outer space has no interests that they need to preserve.

The large toy of the Arasaka Group only needs a few missiles to turn into the largest firework on Earth, and military technology maintains a stable route that can go back and forth between Earth and Mars.

The advertising effect of Lexington Two was the only reason the board continued to invest in keeping it running.

Zoe Palaya is actually very pleased. In her lifetime, she has at least completed a meaningful voyage on this legendary spaceship.

They brought back the fire of hope for human civilization from Ganymede, like Prometheus
Zoe Palaya looked at the earth with complicated eyes, and didn't come back to her senses until the hidden space station named Eye of the Sky began to transmit data to them.

Seeing the space station with a large number of weapons gradually clear in front of her eyes, Zoe Palaya finally showed a smile, feeling the pressure in her heart gradually released.

As the only person who is authorized to know part of the mission-related content, God knows how many times she wakes up in her dreams these days. She can always dream that her Lexington [-] is attacked by unknown sources when it is approaching the earth. , the whole ship turned into a firework.

Now, all this is finally over, no matter what the fate of mankind will be in the future, Zoe Palaya has done her best.

Lexington [-] was captured by the magnetic device of the eye of the sky, and slowly leaned against the side of the space station. After the docking of the connection module was completed, Zoe Palaja and Russell La Cruz opened the hatch together.

Outside the cabin door, there are four hideous-looking humanoid armed robots. They look at the two astronauts with their skeleton-like faces, and their red eyes are like devils in hell.

"The person who designed this humanoid battle robot back then was definitely a fan of the Terminator series of movies." Russell Lacruz swallowed nervously, holding a special paper container with black flames in his hand, the whole People stand there like a log, not knowing whether they should move forward or not.

"Don't worry, they don't bite." A brisk voice sounded from the connection channel: "They are just in case."

Zoe Palaya didn't want to pursue who this just in case was referring to. She just wanted to complete the handover of the items now, and then find a quiet place to re-accustom to gravity, and return to Earth for a good vacation.

So Zoe led the way through the passage surrounded by four robots, and Rosernan followed behind, looking at these battle robots with great interest.

The voice introduced with great interest: "They all use infinite power supply technology, and can move unlimitedly inside and outside the space station. They are guards and maintainers, and can handle most of the mechanical problems here."

"My friend, we are not interested in these robots. To whom should the valuables be handed over?" Zoe Palaya interrupted the voice and asked directly.

"Don't worry, please keep going forward. We are short of manpower here, and we need to use a more direct method to send it back to Earth." The voice illuminated the indicator arrow on the ground with light and shadow effects, signaling them to move on.

The four robots followed suit.

What appeared in front of Zoe was a shuttle-shaped airborne pod. A man in a black uniform stood there, followed by four other humanoid robots that looked a little more bloated.

"T-300, a field remote control robot with its own energy pack." The man introduced enthusiastically, with the same accent as in the voice broadcast just now.

"It's a total of 50 meters from the connection warehouse to this place." Zoe Palaya emphasized the distance, looking at the wicked man in front of him.

"Life in space is too boring. I remember that there was an incident of aliens knocking on the window at your Mars base before." When the man said this, he glanced at Roselle: "I thought you would like this surprise." .”

Zoe Palaya turned her head and glared at Roselle angrily. She had been frightened by the opponent's trick back then.

Roselle de la Cruz bowed his head and remained silent, because he really liked the welcome ceremony just now, and he got all the surprises and old movie memes.

So Roselle secretly extended a thumb to the other party.

"Next, we have to ask these iron men to send the things back to the earth smoothly." The corner of the man's mouth showed a smile, he took the black opaque container from Roselle, and solemnly put it into the specially made container. fixed in the frame.

Afterwards, four T-300s walked into the landing module, filling the space inside to the fullest.

For some reason, Zoe Palaya didn't like this man in black at all. She always felt that there was something annoying about him.

"Wait, I want to re-determine the content of the mission with the headquarters." Zoe Palaya gritted her teeth and said, "Just in case."

The man in black frowned, and said with some displeasure: "We are about to reach the sky above the predetermined position. The landing module itself is unpowered. If you miss the launch opportunity, you will have to wait for three hours for the next window period." .”

"You are an insider, you should know the importance of this mission, right?" The man in black looked at the time and said, "As long as this thing is not in his hands, it is not safe to talk about. Many things can happen in three hours." .”

Zooey looked at the other person's face, and the weird disgust still lingered: "Then show me your mission briefing."

"You crossed Dr. Zoe, that's not allowed." The man in black looked at Zoe with some displeasure: "You are also from an office, you understand the rules!"

"Roslyn, contact the headquarters to determine the follow-up mission process." Zoe Palaya directly ordered to the companions who were still in the cab.

"That's an encrypted line. By the time you finish contacting us, we've already missed the window period! Dr. Zoe!" The man in black looked at the time again: "It's too late!"

The more anxious the other party was, the more suspicious Zooey felt.

Finally, the man in black looked at the time again, stood in front of the landing module console, raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'll show you my mission briefing, how about you let me start the preparations first? In three hours, we will Hanging in the sky like a target, God knows what will happen!"

Zoe Palaya winked at Roselle. They crossed the starry sky together, and they already had a tacit understanding. Roselle quietly observed the robot behind him, and gently shook the weapon in the robot's hand. shook his head.

There are almost no dead ends for these robots, they are professional.

"Okay, show me your task briefing!" Zoe took a few steps forward, and reached out to take the PDA of the man in black, which was officially from the task briefing interface of the office network.

Zoe glanced at it roughly. The requirements written on it were almost the same as what the man in black said. The only difference was that it clearly required that enough space be reserved in the landing cabin.

And Zoe could see clearly that under the command of the man in black, the robots completely filled the landing cabin.

Zoe knew everything about Tang Ji clearly, and naturally she also knew about Wang Zhengdao. She knew that Wang Zhengdao had the ability to jump directly into the airborne cabin, take the cargo and leave directly.

Obviously, the man in black on the opposite side knew it too.

Zoe glanced at the blue home planet outside the window, then at Roselle and the robot behind him, and still resolutely threw the PDA in her hand at the man in black as a weapon.

She has done so much for this world, how could she fall short at the last moment!
However, to Zoe's surprise, although his attack was blocked by the man in black with one hand, and he was directly knocked down to the ground, the robot behind Roselle did not respond
"The robot is not controlled by him!" Zooey yelled, and was kicked in the face by the man in black, and she passed out directly.

"Dr. Zoe, your cleverness is annoying!" The man in black did not dare to use deadly force in the face of the deterrent force of the robot, so he could only restrain Dr. Zoe with one hand, while the other hand was on the keyboard. Quickly set various parameters of the landing module.

"Don't move! Or I'll strangle her to death!" The man in black didn't have much time. As a pretender trained by the naturalized organization, he spent a lot of money to get himself on the Sky Eye space station.

The only remaining species of the Rothschild family has now completely turned to the naturalized side, such as the back door of the Sky Eye space station system.

He can temporarily shield the ghost from controlling other systems, but because of the Rothschild family's trust in self-discipline AI, he cannot interfere with the behavior of these machine guards. They will automatically attack targets that try to destroy the structure of the space station and hold deadly weapons. Attack.

It was part of his plan to use those robots to fill the space in the landing cabin so that Wang Zhengdao could not directly enter the space and jump into the landing cabin.

But now, he only needs to let the landing module leave the space station in time, and deflect the range of the landing point to the range of the preset number of the naturalized organization, and it will be more than half of the success!

Roselle was not moved by the men in black's threat, he didn't care about Zoe Palaya's life, he turned over the console and tried to hammer the man in black's head with the PDA on his wrist.

That was the most powerful weapon in his hands, but the effect was not ideal. The man in black stood still and resisted Roselle's attack, his eyes fixed on the countdown.

When the countdown on the screen reached zero, he suddenly pressed the launch button!

In the Eye of the Sky space station, there was originally no landing module. This thing was expanded after the arrival of military technology technicians, occupying a launch hole that was previously used to launch sub-satellites.

Because this area was previously a no-man's land, there was no life support system at all, and all of this was added later, which seemed a bit sloppy, such as the landing module, which explained that it was directly embedded on the launch pad.

When the landing module was launched, a huge hole with a diameter of [-] meters was left in place, and the air in the room was instantly sucked clean.

The man in black, who had been prepared for a long time, activated his magnetic boots in an instant, and fixed himself in place like a robot.

As for Dr. Zoe, the man in black glanced at Roselle who was almost taken away, let go of his hand, and let Zoe Palaya drift towards the passage leading to outer space.

His mission has been completed, and his newly activated protective stance can support him all the way to Lexington Two, which is the second part of the plan. Whether it can be completed is not important to the naturalists, but it is. Can the man in black himself successfully return to Earth?

Passing through the square formation of robots, the man in black looked back, but he couldn't find Russell and Dr. Zoe, which made him a little disappointed. He actually likes to see people look desperate.

However, in the next second, the man in black was not disappointed.

He saw Roselle's face suddenly appear on the other side of the connection cabin, and he just exposed himself to the space. He embraced the lifeless Zoe Palaya with one hand, and tapped the glass lightly. Recreated the most famous prank on Mars - aliens knocking on the window.

The man in black looked at the disconnected connection cabin, and his face turned livid, but then he smiled freely, at least his main task has been completed, and his personal safety is insignificant.
