Chapter 1114 Bound by Gravity

Opening her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Alyssa rubbed her temples, and then she remembered that she was not on the Swan, or even in the most familiar void.

The change in environment brought a certain lack of sleep, and Alyssa didn't want to stay in bed any longer, so she got up and ran to wash up.

For a 'void resident' like Alyssa, life on the planet is very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Compared with the stability of artificial gravity, the gravity on the planet is more or less different. These subtle differences are definitely not felt by the locals, but the recyclers who run between various space stations all year round are very sensitive to this.

My fingers are inexplicably a little stiff, my head feels heavier, and it feels like there are hands pulling the flesh all over my body down.

If you insist on saying what the benefits are...

I took a look at the water flowing down in the washbasin, which means that it is much more convenient to brush your teeth and wash your face than in a zero-gravity environment.

But Alyssa really still doesn't like the feeling of being bound by gravity.

Walking out of the room, occasionally you will see patrolling soldiers passing by. Everyone will stand at attention and salute Alyssa, which also makes Alyssa uncomfortable.

This is different from the salute of Alyssa's crew on the starship. Alyssa knows that these soldiers respect her grandfather instead of her.

——Feeling even more uncomfortable.

The area of this base is not small. The dormitory alone can accommodate a thousand people, and in order to ensure long-term garrison, a large amount of food and ammunition are stored.

However, there are only a dozen soldiers here now, plus more than fifty ordinary civilians, plus a fresh water making machine. If you just live here, you can live here for several years.

Of course, Alyssa will definitely not stay that long.

At this time, the personal terminal beeped, and Alyssa looked down and found that it was a message from Sophia.

'Boss, we found a booster rocket in the equipment warehouse. Fang Lanyin said that she would come to see it after finishing the work at hand'

This is expected good news.

Although the Swan can land directly on a habitable planet after modification, it is not possible to take off and return to the void with the power of the Swan alone.

The same is true for those assault landing ships. It is easy to get down, but you must rely on external forces to go back, such as booster rockets.

The reason why it is expected good news is that this base was originally a military base for testing assault landing ships. It is very reasonable to keep booster rockets that can send assault landing ships to the void.

If there is no such thing here, it will be more troublesome. It is estimated that you will need to drive the Swan to nearby launch bases, airports, military facilities and other places to find it, and you may not find it.

And it will take time to install, refuel, debug and other work. In this process, the Red Maple Republic, which has already mastered the right to control the orbit, will definitely not just watch.

Speaking of which, this habitable planet is still resisting, but what is the situation outside, it is completely unknown now. When the Swan sets off, it has to choose an appropriate time, otherwise it will be a death.

After replying to Sophia, Alyssa continued to walk.

She got up early and had no urgent matter. She was just wandering around because she had nothing to do.

Following the road signs in the base, Alyssa seemed to have come to the back of the base.

Here you can see a beach. Looking further away, you can see a flat hole with traces of artificial repairs. The seawater enters the base from there.

This should be a natural cave. It will be blocked at high tide and exposed at low tide.

The beach is not for playing. Alyssa observed that this place could originally moor some small and medium-sized sea vessels, and it was also part of the military facilities.

But now those boats are gone, leaving only a jet ski, and...

beach chairs, parasols and towels and blankets all over the floor.

You can use parasols even if there is no sunshine. This is the atmosphere. It can be seen that for a long time, this place has been regarded as a place for leisure and entertainment by local soldiers.

In addition, you can see several lifeboats being pulled ashore, which is the source of civilians in the base.

The attack of the Red Maple Republic was sudden and without warning, and there was not even time to issue an evacuation alarm.

From the perspective of being able to save their lives, these civilians are lucky, but hiding in a military base is obviously not a good choice.

At this time, Alyssa's communicator beeped again. She looked down and saw that it was a communication from Long.

"Are you awake?"

"Just woke up, I'm on the beach."

"Understood, I'll find you right away."

Not long after hanging up the call, Long came over, but Lieutenant Dui was beside him.

"Good morning, Captain Alyssa, how did you sleep last night?"

"Very good, thank you."

Alyssa glanced at Long, who said:

"I asked Lieutenant Dui this morning if there was any communication equipment that could contact the outside world. The result was good, but there was a small problem."

"What's the problem?"

"No authority."

This base should have had an officer command structure consisting of a colonel and many lieutenants, but unfortunately, the day before the attack began, these people neglected their duties and ran out to play, and now the highest-ranking officer in the base is Lieutenant Dui.

On the battlefield, when officers are killed, soldiers will listen to the highest-ranking officer. This is true, but the machine does not recognize the rank.

Alyssa understood what Long meant as soon as she heard it, and turned to Dui and said:

"Maybe I can crack it. What type of equipment is it?"

"We have both active and passive ones. Our base is well equipped."

Passive communication equipment can only search for other people's communications and cannot be dialed out. The advantage is that it is highly concealed and difficult to track back. Passive communication equipment is standard for secret bases.

Active equipment is the most widely used. Warships also use active equipment, which can send and receive signals freely.

Indeed, although this base has many slots, the equipment is the latest.

Dui brought Alyssa and Long to the communication room, where all kinds of equipment filled the room.

The Red Maple Republic's fleet is likely still in synchronous orbit. If a signal is sent at this time, it would be a death wish.

However, passive receiving equipment can be used to adjust and monitor the movement on the orbit to see if the fleet of the Rotating Water Federation has counterattacked.

As for the problem of no authority, it is really just a small problem.

Alyssa glanced at the equipment and said to Dui:

"Lieutenant Dui, please go find our mechanic Fang Lanyin. She needs some parts to repair the ship. I hope the inventory in this base can meet her needs."

"No problem, I'll go now."

After sending Dui away, Alyssa took out the boot disk from her bag and found the nearest terminal and put it on it.

Soon, the terminal screen lit up and prompted "Chuangyi Machine. God Crystal Initialization Completed."

"Li Chengxi, are you there? See if you can hack into the device."

Alyssa said it twice to the personal terminal, but there was no response.

"Li Chengxi should be with Fang Lanyin, or with An Yun. I occasionally see them sharing ice cream together."

"This machine soul is really free..."

Alyssa shook her head and clicked on the communication function to find Fang Lanyin.

The other party quickly picked up the phone:

"Boss, are you looking for Li Chengxi? He just left."

"Just left? Where to?"

"I don't know, he said he had some things to do and won't be watching us for the time being. Oh, yes, he also took a few mines and left."
