Human Light Umbrella

In an instant, everyone felt a different kind of "pushing back", and the scene of the universe and the earth outside the porthole was also "squashed", as if everything had become horizontal lines emitting white light.

A few seconds after entering the warping state, the "pushing back feeling" quickly dissipated.

But less than half a minute later, everyone felt a slight "frustration"

However, this different feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and everything returned to normal.

It appears the warp voyage is over.

Immediately, Isaac turned his head and looked out the porthole, only to see that the things that had been "squashed" had returned to normal.

It is also a dark universe, but the planet is not the blue earth, but another planet with a reddish surface soil and a thin atmosphere.

"Dear colleagues." Then came the chief purser's broadcast: "We have completed the leap voyage and successfully entered the low-earth orbit of the destination Mars.

Now you can untie your seat belts and carry out appropriate activities. Our flight attendants will continue to provide services for you. It is estimated that we will arrive at Ares Airport on the surface of Mars in 10 minutes. "

Engine Accidents Caused by "Anomalies" in Chapter 2

"All crew members in cabin 3, welcome colleagues to come to Mars, now the ship is about to enter the atmosphere, please pay attention..."

"..."

Isaac did not listen carefully to the precautions that the purser said, but continued to watch the scenery outside the ship through the porthole.

The "proportion" of the portholes on the surface of Mars is increasing, indicating that the Pioneer 2 they are riding in is passing through the thin atmosphere of Mars.

After entering the atmosphere completely, the scenery outside the window is somewhat different from that seen outside the atmosphere.

Although the soil is reddish-orange, it is almost the same as the barren areas of the earth, and even the sky is blue.

The employees, including Isaac, have long been used to this.

And seeing this scene, the worker who said he was treating guests to a drink even said, "The weather in Mars City is good today, suitable for drinking!"

As the worker said, the weather in this area is fine.

The Martian soil contains a lot of iron oxide, that is, rust. The reason why it looks like a fiery planet is because the surface often has sandstorms, which make the rust-containing dust fly.

But when the weather is good, as it is now, it will present an environment similar to Earth.

As for the destination they are going to, the "Mars City" built on the Martian equatorial plain can have a maximum ambient temperature of over 20°C, and even the lowest temperature will not be lower than -6°C.

No wonder many people on Earth speculate that the environment of Mars hundreds of millions of years ago may be similar to that of Earth, and may be more suitable for breeding life than Earth.

Since Umbrella and Ueg jointly built the "Mars City" and launched a detailed exploration of Mars, many microbial fossils have been discovered, proving that Mars did have an environment that bred life.

However, until now, human beings have not found traces of the existence of higher creatures.

Next, Pioneer 2 sailed in the air for a few minutes, and the city of Mars appeared in Isaac's field of vision.

Mars City is actually composed of many "dome cities".

More than a dozen urban areas of different sizes, like a huge "glass cover" on the ground, surrounded the largest urban area in the center, forming a colony with a population of more than 400 million.

The so-called "glass cover" is actually made of battleship-grade α-type titanium alloy and amorphous carbon glass that is as strong as the porthole of the ship's hull, thus creating a dome that protects the colonial city.

From a distance, the dome composed of α-alloy brackets and amorphous carbon glass is like a semicircular transparent honeycomb buckled on the urban area.

Although the atmosphere of Mars is not comparable to that of Earth, it is far above the moon, so colonial cities do not need to be built below the surface.

And there are a large number of sealed passages and tunnels between urban areas and urban areas for the passage of vehicles and rail trains.

The Ares starport mentioned by the purser just now is located in the east of Mars City, second only to the central urban area in scale, and the shape of the dome is close to a rectangle.

At this time, above the star port, there is a Pioneer 2 belonging to Umbrella and two Pioneer 1 belonging to Ueg.

Thanks to the technology brought by the Griffin, the transport boat that acts as a "ferry car" can quickly pass through the air valve emitting a light blue light on the top of the star port, and directly enter and exit the dome and the pioneer hangar.

The wide application of new air valves has greatly improved the efficiency of extraterrestrial and space construction.

Subsequently, the Pioneer 2 carrying Isaac and the others also hovered above the star port.

In fact, the real flight does not take long, the time-consuming thing is waiting, which is why there is a flight attendant service team in each cabin.

But the engine accidents and delays they experience today are extremely rare.

It shouldn't be unusual...

Forget it, Isaac no longer thinks about the engine accident, after all, he can reach Mars safely.

The next crew continued to provide services for everyone, and after waiting for 10 minutes, it was their turn to transfer to the transport boat for the people in cabin 3.

The transport boat carried Isaac and the others away from Pioneer 2, and after a brief exposure to the Martian atmosphere, they entered the interior of the star port through the air valve, and finally landed on the tarmac.

The terminal building protrudes from the corridor bridge and is connected to the transport boat for Isaac and the others to go to the terminal building.

Those who walked out of the corridor bridge came to an open area, and everyone in cabin 3 went to the baggage claim area under the terminal building, while a dozen of them walked at the back of the line.

"Oh~!" Zhang Ha, a worker, stretched his hands high and said, "I'm going to drive an SCV again, hey."

"Stop complaining, driving an SCV is always much safer than fighting against an abnormal TF."

"That's right. I heard that intelligence agents are more dangerous. Those mysterious guys are the first to come into contact with anomalies."

At this time, a blond man dressed in black overalls and a desert-colored shirt, and a blond woman dressed similarly got out of the transport boat last, and passed by their group of workers who were still chatting.

"Hey, Clark." Looking at the backs of the two blonde men and women, a worker approached Isaac and asked in a low voice:

"Do you think those two are intelligence agents?"

"Who knows?"

Isaac shrugged and said he didn't care. He just wanted to complete the task of building the colony as soon as possible, and then he could go home early.

The man in overalls didn't know that he was being ridiculed by Isaac's co-workers, but told the woman beside him:

"Later, I will take you to understand the general situation of Mars City, and then take you to Phobos and Deimos. You must know that you will spend a long period of time in the future in the Mars colony.

Although the total population of the colony is less than 500 million, the company's plan is to use Mars as a base for construction, so you must not let your guard down, Shirley. "

"Don't worry, Uncle Kennedy." The woman named Shirley accepted it humbly.

Taking a closer look at Shirley, who has short female hair, she looks similar to William Birken, a researcher at Umbrella, and seems to have some shadows of Birken's wife Annette.

Shirley's true identity is the daughter of the Birken couple. She was only 1998 years old in 12, and now she is 26 years old.

As soon as she came to the escalator, the "Uncle Kennedy" who went to the baggage claim area with her was Leon S. Kennedy.

That worker must have never thought of a random joke just to find a topic, and he made a mistake, and actually made a joke about a real intelligence agent, Leon, who is still a top intelligence agent.

Previously, Isaac's co-workers also said whether it was an abnormal phenomenon that caused the engine of the spacecraft to change, which is actually completely correct in a sense.

After all, any means of transportation is not easy to handle with Lyon.

What is even more unexpected is that the 36-year-old Leon still looks very young, with the same blonde hair parted for thousands of years.

If other people don't know the actual situation, they will only regard Leon as a newcomer who has just joined Umbrella and was assigned to Mars.

Chapter 2 Alien Scenery

It is true that Lyon is 36 years old, but his physical indicators do not match his age.

In fact, this is the reason for the continuous injection of "delay medicine".

The delay medicine developed by the company based on Xuemanhua can greatly prolong the lifespan of human beings, and at the same time, it has the effect of improving physical fitness.

It's just that a large amount of blood mango flowers are needed to make delay potions, and the production of blood mango flowers is very limited, making mass production of delay potions impossible.

But as an intelligence officer personally recruited by Sui Bian, coupled with both strength and luck, Leon is absolutely qualified to inject delaying potions.

At this time, Leon and Shirley walked down the escalator to the baggage claim area.

Then, according to the information prompt provided by the holographic screen, they came to the luggage conveyor belt No. 17 and waited patiently for their luggage.

Leon habitually observed his surroundings, and at the same time asked Shirley who was standing beside him in doubt:

"Shirley, your parents are both company researchers, and you also graduated from the company's Raccoon City University, but why did you go to Minos and choose to become an intelligence officer?"

"My talent in research is not good..." Shirley said, she saw her suitcase on the conveyor belt, stepped forward to take the suitcase, and continued:

"And I want to make a small contribution to the company and mankind, so becoming an intelligence officer is a good choice for me."

During the conversation, Leon also got his luggage, and then the two walked out of the terminal building.

Shirley continued to explain with a smile on the topic: "Among the intelligence agents who graduated in the same period, my comprehensive score ranked first. Facts have proved that I am more suitable for dealing with abnormal phenomena directly."

"Yeah." After hearing Shirley's words, Leon nodded in understanding.

Not long ago, he was enjoying a rare vacation, but he received a private email from Birken, informing that Shirley, who had just completed training from Minos, was about to go to Mars according to the company's assignment.

The workaholic Birken actually cares a lot about his daughter Shirley.

Therefore, I hope that Leon, who is an "acquaintance", can teach Shirley enough experience in self-protection and dealing with abnormal phenomena before Shirley officially becomes an intelligence agent on Mars.

Leon, who was unilaterally regarded as a mature person by Birken, thought twice, and finally agreed to support the newcomer.

Besides, he has only been to Mars a few times, and he regards this journey of teaching the younger generation as a trip by the way, and there seems to be no conflict with continuing the vacation.

At this time, they walked out of the terminal building and came to the airport hall.

The top of the airport is equipped with a large number of giant glass to improve viewing and obtain sufficient natural light.

People only need to look up to see the huge ships moored above the dome and the unique sky of Mars.

Although the Ares Airport Hall is not as crowded as the Raccoon City Airport, there are still a large number of people of different professions and identities, coming and going, bustling and bustling.

After all, among the many immigration policies promulgated by UEG, the "boat ticket" is set within the price range acceptable to most families.

Excludes Business and Premium Business Class.

As for Lyon and Shirley, who are reimbursed by the company, there is no need to worry about the issue of ferry tickets.

They passed through the crowd, took the elevator to the rail train platform below, took a train that was also maglev, and drove towards the central dome of the colony.

Leon and Shirley sat on the right side of the carriage.

Shirley, who was sitting on the innermost side, was observing the things outside the compartment through the sealed window.

But outside the window, there are only dull tunnels, and when the train is running at high speed, those flashing lights that almost form a line in people's eyes.

"Passengers." However, a standardized female voice reminded the car radio:

"We are about to sail out of the airport and enter the plain between the domes. We are expected to arrive at our destination at 14:20 Mars time."

It is said that Shirley, who came to Mars for the first time, didn't pay much attention to the so-called Martian time. She knew that a day on Mars is also 24 hours, which is only less than 40 minutes faster than that on Earth.

The rest of the colonies are not as coincidental as Mars, and need to follow Earth's Atlantic time zone.

And what she is most interested in is the plains of Mars.

Soon, the train passed through the air valve emitting blue light, leaving the lower level of the airport and entering the "open area".

To be precise, the train is still running in the tunnel.

However, there are large sealed windows on both sides of the tunnel, so that the passengers in the carriage can watch the Martian plain between the dome and the dome at close range without wearing protective clothing.

! !

Many company employees who also came to work on Mars for the first time, or people who came here on UEG ships, couldn't help sighing, admiring this different kind of alien scenery.

Among the above-mentioned people is Shirley who is sitting by the window.

She didn't show much expression on her face, but her eyes revealed the shock in her heart.

Shirley vaguely remembers that when she was a child, people's endless imagination of Mars colonization could only be expressed through games, movies and comics.

But now, she is riding a train speeding across the plains of Mars.

Lyon was quite calm, but affected by the atmosphere in the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice:

"Every time I see this, I feel proud as an employee of Umbrella. Without the company, no, it should be said that without Mr., how could we humans set foot on Mars in the early 21st century?"

"..." Shirley, who heard Leon whisper, recalled that the first time she saw Sui Bian was in the brood 14 years ago.

She observed first-hand how people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past 14 years, and then she nodded her head empathetically, expressing her agreement with Leon's emotion.

The train drove through the plain tunnel and the air valve, and came to the bottom of the central dome, and the dull scene outside the window resumed again.

14: 20.
