I Want a Low-key Traverser, So I Try to Act in Secret

According to the plan, Li Xu and Jing began to get rid of the "autistic state", and slowly began to have some conversations with Jessica and Maggie.

I don't know how the military-civilian relationship is handled in this world. Anyway, Jessica and Maggie don't mind teaching Jing how to use their weapon system. If conditions permit, they both give Jing a live ammunition drill.

No one caught on to this point and made a small report. It seemed to be a very common thing.

Although there are energy weapons in this world, gunpowder weapons are the most widely used common types. Jingben already has a good foundation, so he can master the individual weapons here, except for power armor, very quickly.

No one is surprised or surprised about this. It seems that because of the war, ordinary people who work and live in the border areas have undergone a considerable degree of military armed training.

But to Li Xu's surprise, Jessica actually encouraged him to enlist in the army.

"Huh? Let me join your army? But I'm blind, and your army even wants blind people?"

Because the role of a patient who is gradually getting out of the haze and getting rid of mental illness, Li Xu and Jing have to build a good relationship with Jessica and Maggie no matter for the needs of the plot or actual needs... In other words, although Jessica has always wanted to green Li Xu , but she is cheerful, witty and polite, not obnoxious.

Maggie's character is a bit introverted. Because of her comrade-in-arms relationship, although she can trust her life with other people on board, she usually doesn't speak a few words to people other than Jessica, including Li Xu and Jing.

And she has never accepted other people's request, and now no one asks her to make fun of herself.

"The current situation is special and there is a serious lack of personnel, so if you apply to join the army at this time, you will definitely succeed."

During this conversation, it was in the room of Li Xu and Jing. Jessica took out a beer that was brought in from the previous Battlestar, and Maggie was sitting with her. Although she was introverted, she seemed to be A little wine.

"No matter how special the situation is, I am also blind. What can I do if I join the army?"

"Of course I won't let you go into the battlefield like this. You don't know, our Dongxian Military Region has a cooperation project with Xiantong Company. You have seen the battle before... Uh, let me tell you, many people were injured because of Becoming disabled, like having a broken arm or a leg, or someone who has their heart pierced through, and if their limbs are broken, they will be replaced with mechanical prosthetic limbs, and if their heart is pierced, they will be replaced with a mechanical heart.”

"You mean, if I apply to join the army now... will I be fitted with electronic prosthetic eyes?"

Li Xu understood what she meant in a second. Although no one lost their eyeballs in the last battle, they did in the earlier battles. Therefore, through listening and understanding during this period, he knew that there is a technology of "electronic prosthetic eyes" in this world. , and it is a mature and common technical method. The military doctor with two knives on the ship can perform this operation, but the "electronic prosthetic eye" itself is not cheap, and the worst grade costs 50 stars.

He doesn't know the purchasing power of 50 star dollars, but this does not prevent him from knowing its huge value.

I have to say that Jessica's proposal made Li Xu's heart skip a beat. Although the army's military supplies don't consider aesthetics at all, the basic model of electronic prosthetic eyes is ugly, as if there are two metal frames installed on the eye sockets. But practicality is unquestionable.

Originally, after learning this information, Li Xu's plan was to gain a foothold here, and then gradually figure it out through trade, but he didn't expect that there was such a shortcut to restore his eyesight in advance.

It is necessary to sign a contract of sale and serve in the army for a certain number of years.

……

Section 117 0115

While Li Xu was considering whether to agree with Jessica's suggestion, the "Yang Dengxing" spacecraft was modifying and calibrating its course, heading towards an extremely remote asteroid in the star field.

From the information obtained from the communication base, the commander on the "Yang Dengxing" knew that the entire "Eastern Immortal" star field was in a mess at this time, and the Zerg and Mentos in several nearby dark star fields (not explored by humans) Almost all of them came out, and if they followed the original supply route, it was not a matter of probability, but that they would definitely encounter the main forces of the above two.

With only 200 troops in their small assault ship, in front of the main forces of both sides, let alone food, they can't even plug their teeth, and they will disappear with a breath, so they have to temporarily modify the route. Try to find a route around the engagement area and back to the rear.

The original Supreme Command Center of the East Immortal Starfield had already self-destructed because of a super-sized Zerg Annihilator, and the planet where it was located was completely wiped out by the Zerg and Mentos coalition forces. In addition, this spaceship is not strictly speaking. They belong to the Dongxian Garrison, so their actions are not considered desertion and disobedience.

I don't worry about being dealt with by military law afterwards.

The selected asteroid is an uninhabited planet, without even an atmosphere, and naturally there is no ecological environment on it.A few years ago, a mining company reported to mine ordinary mineral deposits above, but because the supply route was too long, the production and operation costs were very high, and the income after the minerals were shipped back was very low.

However, this mining company did not go bankrupt because of this. Their transportation spaceship was very unlucky to be robbed by star thieves. This route has not yet been included in the insurance company's claims. The bank was liquidated, and this asteroid, a non-performing asset, was forgotten in a corner for many years because it was too remote and no one wanted to take it over.

Humans, Zergs, and Mentos have a high degree of overlap in material utilization, and asteroids that are of little value to humans will most likely not attract the attention of the other two.

The commander on the "Yang Xingdeng" not only hopes to open up a route back to the sphere of human influence, but also plans to find some materials left there before, so as to increase the success rate of this unknown voyage.

……

The voyage to the asteroid took about a month, during which Li Xu and Kase Jing joined the army Ma Run of the spaceship and became honorable assault soldiers.

As mentioned earlier, the ownership of this ship does not belong to the East Immortal Starfield. To explain it in a simple and clear way, this ship belongs to the Air Force. people.

To be precise, the troops Li Xu joined were ground assault soldiers belonging to the defense forces of the Eastern Celestial System, referred to as Ma Run.

In this ship, it is inferior.

After signing the enlistment agreement in the morning, the identity information of the two people was changed.

In the afternoon, Li Xu was lying in the operating cabin of the medical room on the ship. The military doctor cut off his eyelids with a laser scalpel and kept them in a sealed container.

Although the military electronic prosthetic eye is a basic model, it does not affect future upgrades and modifications, but for military purposes, it must meet the observation needs of multi-spectral spectrum bands, so the access ends are two cylindrical objects, and the top is not at all. The "eyeball-oriented" design is completely two observation sticks with lenses.

Cut off the eyelids, insert the base into the eye socket, pour the signal transduction fluid, and then connect two crab-like "eyestalk" observation sticks, theoretically Li Xu gained vision.

The eye stalks, including the base, are detachable. In the future, if you buy a ball-shaped civilian electronic prosthetic eye, and then connect the sealed eyelids, you can get "double eyes" that look like normal people.

However, because it takes a certain amount of time for the implant to combine with the optic nerve under the action of nanorobots, this process cannot be accelerated by any means of treatment, so Li Xu had to recuperate for two weeks after the operation before inserting the two slightly implanted implants. It's a weird mechanical lens handle.

How should I put it, although the appearance is a bit weird, it is really very easy to use.

In addition to normal vision, it also has infrared and night vision functions. There are also data ports on the outer edges of both sides, which can directly read some video signals, and can also be connected to the electronic scope of the sniper rifle and the control of some firepower devices. system, greatly improving the reaction speed and hit rate.

What's more interesting is that this military type of electronic prosthetic eye can directly present many visual signals on the screen, which is a bit similar to his "property panel" visual expression, "directly presented on his retina".

Or in other words, this kind of electronic prosthetic eye is not a visual bionic organ, but a signal conversion or deception device. It does not realize the function of the eye, but converts the picture into a signal that can deceive the brain, and directly presents it in the human body. in the mind of the recipient.

"Directly presented on the retina" → "directly presented in the brain".

And for observation, sniper and fire control and other usage modes, it also has a built-in auxiliary capability, which can help users process the data flow in the above three modes more efficiently and make more reasonable judgments and operations.

However, the realization of this function is based on the combination of the intraocular nerve and the implant. If it can be directly worn on the head or on the skin, the legendary "game cabin" or "immersion" will be born immediately. type game experience device".

I don't know if there is any research on this in this world...

……

The "Yang Dengxing" traveled safely, without encountering any Zerg or Mentos units, and arrived at the remote, unnamed asteroid.

There is no atmosphere, so there will not be any climate conditions.

I don't know how, but the spaceship can easily find the mining facilities that were left here.

It was a mining platform that seemed to be built in a valley, stretching for more than ten kilometers.

Compared with it, the 200-meter-long Yang Dengxing is like a small soybean on a human body.

This is still the work of a small mining company.

At this time, Li Xu had initially adapted to the two electronic prosthetic eyes installed, and He Jing also received more than ten days of training on the operation of military auxiliary power armor.

The two of them are no longer staying on this battleship as ordinary people, so like other army Ma Run, they will start their mission after the spaceship lands.

They have all been assigned a complete set of auxiliary power armor of their own, and professional mechanics have made detailed adjustments according to their bodies.

The detection radar on the spacecraft did not detect the life signals of the Zerg or the Mentos, so the ground mission of the Army Ma Run was not to fight, but to detect and explore available materials.

Jessica's qualifications are relatively old, and her military rank is relatively high. However, she was originally an idler and was not keen on earning military merits. However, under the encouragement of "mating rights", she not only broke through the upper limit of intelligence, but also successfully persuaded Li Xu to join He came to his own army, and was very active in forming his own combat team, including roommates Maggie, Li Xu, and Kase Akira under his command.

Four people formed an action team. After the spacecraft landed on the mining platform, they drove a suspended terrain vehicle out to investigate the ground conditions and explore available materials after receiving the mission.

Because there is some basic information here, in the mission management system on the spacecraft, each team can divide their respective mission areas in advance, and there will be no repeated waste of manpower.

Some personnel stayed in the surrounding area of ​​the spacecraft, set up fortifications, and established defensive strongholds.

Li Xu turned on the diagnostic mode of the electronic prosthetic eye and sat in the front co-pilot's seat. The driver was Maggie. His task was to analyze the road and environmental conditions with the diagnostic mode of the electronic prosthetic eye by connecting to the external environment collection of the terrain vehicle.

Although she got the chance to be alone with Jing, Jessica who was sitting at the back did not strike up a conversation with her, but kept in regular contact with Maggie and Li Xu through the communication channel.

Each set of auxiliary power armor has an information processing device. Information such as maps can be stored in it, and there is no need to carry additional entities. Apart from weapons and ammunition, Li Xu's team carries the most spare oxygen.

There is no atmosphere on the surface of this asteroid. After reaching the ground, the outside is still a vacuum environment, including the current floating terrain vehicle, which is also a vacuum environment.

Soldiers need auxiliary powered armor survival systems to survive on the surface of this planet.

From time to time, Li Xu marked the vision of his electronic prosthetic eye, marking those roads that might not be able to withstand the impact of the terrain vehicle, and shared them with Si Ji Maggie, so that she could concentrate on driving and deal with the road conditions.

Jessica in the back, based on the scanning information of the vehicle detection device, compared with the topographic map and layout map in the information system, analyzed the general path forward and where there might be valuable targets.

"Maggie, stop 500 meters ahead, we need to get out of the car for investigation"

"understood"

The distance of 500 meters was approaching in an instant. After the terrain vehicle stopped, the hatch on the side opened, and the four men came down fully armed.

This place is located under a huge metal platform, surrounded by extremely huge circular pillars. The asteroid has no stars to illuminate it, and usually only has faint starlight. Ordinary people need to turn on the lighting device on the outside of the armor to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Li Xu doesn't need it, he has his own "green vision". After installing the electronic prosthetic eye, he also has infrared and night vision functions.

"What are we looking for?" he asked on the team channel.

"A security gate entrance, as shown on the map, there is a living area in the mining area"

"learn"

In a vacuum environment, except for myself, I can't hear other people's footsteps, and I have a weird experience of silence and loneliness.Jessica and Maggie may have been familiar with this, but Li Xu and Jing are quite new.

In this world, apart from Zerg, there are tyrannical creatures in the universe that do not rely on the atmosphere, can survive in a vacuum environment with only a pure body, and can ignore the temperature difference of nearly a thousand degrees or even thousands of degrees.

Therefore, on this uninhabited asteroid, the behavior of being fully armed and vigilant for investigation is not a sand sculpture behavior, but a common phenomenon.

In the armor training course that Li Xu and Kase Jing received before, some of these relatively common creatures were mentioned incidentally, so neither of them asked stupid questions limited to the earth's environment and cognition, and strictly implemented the training. Various requirements.

Several people covered each other and moved forward in the open field. On the way, Li Xu kept switching vision "modes". Even if he didn't do this, Jessica would ask him regularly: "Li Xu, did you find anything?"

"no"

The few people were very patient, and no one raised the flag of "separate action". Li Xu and Jing didn't raise it because they all knew the trick. Jessica and Maggie didn't raise it, maybe they were more professional .

"there"

Li Xu and Jing are not familiar with the architectural style in this world, maybe Jessica saw something, marked a location in the visualization system, and the other three followed her to surround it.

As it approached, Li Xu's "green vision" found that there was another space behind a metal wall, but several modes of the electronic prosthetic eye failed to find this.

It wasn't until he got close enough that he saw the red light similar to a circuit board faintly coming from behind the wall from the infrared mode.

"Jessica, here, there seems to be a working electrical system behind this metal wall, and I can see their heat"

"It should be here, let's spread out and look for it"

Several people watched carefully on the metal wall, touching and knocking.

This is another wonderful experience. Apart from myself, I can see other people's actions and no sound; unless I am talking with this person, I can hear some of his knocking on the wall from the call channel.

"Found it, the manual mechanism is here"

Maggie suddenly lifted a cover with no features at all. Li Xu had actually seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't say anything.

After pulling the handle, a heavy vibration came from under his feet, and a gate the size of a small door rose silently from the metal wall in front of him.
