There Is No Afterlife

"Attention Soldier 78520: A29 is coming next, please use the No. 14 tool gun." Just after the excavation of the previous target was completed, a gentle female voice came from Mu Gen's headset, and the next task came again.

Digging a star gate is not as simple as digging a hole in the wall. Soldiers are driving mechas. Photon guns of different sizes are their digging tools. The multi-dimensional space in front of them is divided into very fine grids through special filters. , each space in the grid has a corresponding position name.At this moment, the experts of the research institute are sitting in the monitoring room of New Eustasha, watching closely the progress of the soldiers' excavation through the screen.The large-scale computer calculates rapidly, and every time the coordinates of an excavation location are obtained, the coordinates will be transmitted to the ears of soldiers who are idle through the communication platform in the mecha.

The faster the excavation speed, the more missions are assigned to the soldier. Every time a space is successfully excavated, the system will convert these areas into corresponding points and add them to the soldier's merit points. These will become the basis for his promotion in the future one.

"Understood, mission received." The soldier's voice came from the other end of the communicator, and the mission was successfully claimed.

"Has the new mission been assigned to #78520 again? Wasn't the last mission also assigned to him?" Hearing the soldier's voice, one of the researchers who is more sensitive to sound paid attention to the soldier's number and noticed this The familiar number, he couldn't help asking.

"Yeah, he also took over the last task, but it has already been completed." Another researcher glanced at the record, but he didn't pay attention to it before, but now he compared everyone's task completion rate horizontally, and immediately saw that it was high Dropped: "This kid is amazing! His digging speed is twice the average speed!"

"However, No.2 is also very good. Although the amount of task completion is a bit slower than No.1, the quality of completion is more perfect!" He glanced at the data of No.2 by the way, and when he saw the name of the person who completed it, he was dumbfounded: "No.2...Bulfate Lane?! Isn't this the chief researcher?"

He cried out in surprise.

The newcomer to the Institute, Major General Burfat Lane, many people in the Institute have never seen his face, but everyone is familiar with him.This legendary technician who participated in the transformation of the three generations of warships and bases of the military has left his legend everywhere in the research institute. His talent is not only reflected in military technology, he also designed special chairs for the research institute. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit on, which greatly reduces the incidence of researchers' scientific research diseases... Every researcher in the research institute is the beneficiary of the chief researcher's achievements, and everyone is very curious about him!

Knowing that he appeared in New Eustasha, a group of researchers immediately expressed their wish to reinforce New Eustasha, which shows how powerful the appeal of the idol is!However, Your Excellency Burfat Lane only stayed with everyone for one day on the first day, and then disappeared without a trace. Now it seems that this Your Excellency is actually rushing to the forefront and digging the star gate by himself?

Oops! ! !

"Uh... Different from ordinary researchers, it is said that your achievements are all made by yourself, and he has very strong hands-on ability..." Regarding this, another senior researcher explained with a dry smile: "It is said that, It’s because I participated in it myself, so I feel deeply, and only then can I make better improvements to the results time after time!”

Other researchers agree with this statement.But they can only listen to it enviously. This sentence is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.The physical conditions of the researchers limit them. Most of the time, they can only design and create, but they cannot personally operate the results they have created.A researcher as physically strong as Burfart Lane is rare.

This researcher is not from an academy. He graduated from the Warship Operations Department of the Imperial Military Academy. It is said that he is still a top student!As soon as he graduated, he became the co-operator of a large battleship, and then became the navigator of the machinery base. Burfat Ryan also won the Purple Cloud Flower Medal of the Imperial Navigator!If he hadn't been seriously injured later and couldn't continue to drive, he might still be driving the base to patrol a certain starry sky in the empire. The most talented researcher!

People said that it was His Excellency Burfart's excellent navigator status that made him have such outstanding performance in the transformation of battleships and mechanical bases.

However, this Your Excellency has not been involved in the transformation tasks of warships and mechanical bases hundreds of years ago. If it weren't for the salary expenditure table of the research institute every year and his name, everyone would think that he has passed away forever.

After so many years, what on earth has aroused the interest of this geek again?The researchers were not infrequently discussing the matter with each other in private.

The chief dispatcher of the military department who received Burfart's application did a little background check, and he kept silent except for submitting a report to the adults who should know about it.

But generally speaking, Burfat is willing to participate in the development of the Stargate, and many people are relieved.Although there were no stargates in the era when Burfat ruled the roost, his mentor in the research institute was an old expert who had participated in at least nine large-scale stargate mining. Now that old expert has passed away long ago. The only disciple left is Burfate, even if his more professional field is not the star gate but other, the empire also hopes that he can participate in this project.

Sure enough, as soon as he came, things made exciting progress.

Although this matter is a rare project for the Imperial Military Department and the Government Council to work together, if you blindly invest in it for a long time without any discovery, this delicate balance is bound to be destroyed. This is the first time the two departments have cooperated in hundreds of years. Few people secretly hope that this peace lasts as long as possible.

"Mu Xiaogen, I've already completed 18! Hahahahaha! I'm sure I'm still alive!" After finishing No. 18, boss Bunny's bold laughter came from the headset.

There was no sound coming from the other end of the communicator for a while, but since the communication platform of the two kept communicating at any time, any sound from Mugen's side could be heard from Booney's side.

Booney heard Mugen's steady pant, and a moment later, Mugan said, "I just finished the 21st."

"What!?" Boone Boone sat on the Ipsilon and bounced for a while, and then he immediately heard the voice of Mugen receiving the mission again.

"Hey? I finished it before you, so I'll pick it up!" Boone Boone said without showing weakness.

Inside the mecha, Mu Gen smiled slightly.

In the final analysis, he is digging so fast now, thanks to the guidance of Booney Boss.Before that, he often helped Booni in the car repair shop. From the very beginning of the excavation, Booni secretly used a little trick to open a special line for the two of them. He knew it was to reassure Uncle Alpha—— Uncle Yipsilon is now Boone's mecha, and Uncle Alpha is also on the mecha as an assistant robot. If the special line for dialogue is opened, Uncle Alpha and the others can hear their voices all the time.

After all, digging a stargate is a very dangerous job.

Boss Bunny is more like an instructor here. While continuing the task by himself, he pays close attention to the excavation status of other soldiers and guides him from time to time. With his help, the overall efficiency of stargate excavation has improved a lot.It is precisely because he often instructs others that Booney's speed is slower than his own - Mugen doesn't think that his operation level can be higher than Booney's.

Driving the mech, Mu Gen walked in the direction indicated by the mission, positioned the digging position, changed the caliber of the tool gun from No. 20 to No. 14, and started digging.

The same movement has been done thousands of times, and Mugen's movements are familiar and smooth, and he can even know how many shots with a tool gun are needed to pierce this small area through experience!

When the number of ray penetrations from the muzzle of the tool gun exceeded 300 times, Mugen felt that the space in this area was a little loose. In the next second, accompanied by another piercing, Mugen really saw it in the space below. A small black hole with nothingness and blur inside the hole is a sign of success.

Stopping the tool gun in mid-air, Mugen pressed the call button, and was about to report that the task was completed, when suddenly, he froze——

This bug... looks so strange, doesn't it?The body is rigid, divided into four segments, and there are clearly visible claws at the end of each segment.

Mugen had never seen such a bug.

At this moment, the worm is crawling out of the black hole that Mugen just dug out. Its thin claws look weak but extremely powerful. In the process of crawling out, Mugen saw that he had chiseled them squarely. It stepped on a gap in the hole.

etc--

insect?

"Soldier 78520, what do you need to report?" On the other end of the communicator, the gentle female voice from before sounded. Mu Gen had pressed the call button just now, but the other party heard the call request but Mu Gen didn't reply for a long time, so he specifically asked One sound.

"Report, I...saw a bug." Staring at the bug intently, forgetting what he wanted to say before, Mu Gen couldn't help reporting the weird scene in front of him.

"Bug?" Boss Boone's voice responded faster than the researcher over there. Not only was he the first to speak, he even moved over from the side.

"This, this is..." Boss Boone's voice suddenly increased, and he switched the call channel to a public platform, and he shouted loudly: "I am Major General Bulfat of the Research Institute, and I order all those working in the star gate to All soldiers retreat! All retreat! Use your fastest speed! Evacuate as far as possible! Quick—"

Shouting out this command at the fastest speed, he wanted to catch Mugen and leave here, but it was too late, the small black hole drilled by strange bugs became bigger and bigger, and a voice came from inside the small black hole. A great gravitational force, Mu Gen and Booni Boss who were standing next to the hole were helplessly pulled in!

All the soldiers completed the evacuation quickly, many of them just obeyed the order instinctively, but they didn't know what happened.After the evacuation was completed, many people remembered to look back.

I saw that the entrance of the cave they were working in was suddenly enlarged several times before, and the inside of the cave was no longer pitch black, but turned into a starry sky, as if passing through this cave could lead to another starry sky...

Stargate——this term came to everyone's mind!
