Chapter 273:

In addition to the remains of alien civilizations, the formation of reconnaissance aircraft discovered that there are many animals on the planet, but there are no traces of highly intelligent creatures.

According to the analysis of the air and environment data returned by the reconnaissance aircraft, Kepler 22-b has not found any harmful microorganisms for the time being.

But the colonial fleet does not have more professional equipment for exploration, and the alien relics are already an anomaly to some extent.

Immediately, the colonel in charge of all affairs of the colonial fleet reported the situation of Kepler 22-b to the UNSC headquarters, hoping to seek Umbrella’s help.

.

"Alien civilization is another alien civilization."

"But those aliens may have been completely extinct, otherwise why are they called relics."

"It seems that UNSC wants us to take over Kepler completely."

After reading the materials compiled by Serena, a group of school-level officers gathered on the bridge talked about the alien civilization on Kepler 22-b.

But in the words, there is no dignity or tension, but a kind of comfort and self-confidence.

After all, this group of officers are all elites who have fought with the Reaper civilization. The kind of ‘living’ aliens are not afraid, let alone extinct.

"Boss." At this moment, a lieutenant colonel looked at William and suggested:

"Investigating this alien civilization, let's leave it to our Zero Fleet. Staying in the solar system all day...it's more or less boring."

"Yes, boss."

"The solar system is guarded by the first fleet, there is no problem."

The other officers also all agreed.

And William looked around at the people who were eager to try, and then looked at Serena beside him.

"Boss." Serena also said with a smile: "I have told the artificial intelligences to pay more attention to the dynamics of the earth.

General Ostrovsky and Lieutenant General Odonasiu also said that there is no problem with them guarding the solar system. "

"You..." Seeing that she helped him take care of everything again, William couldn't help but shook his head and smiled lightly.

followed.

William looked at the porthole at the forefront of the bridge, raised his voice and commanded: "Okay, Serena, command the fleet to make a collective jump. We are going to the G-type galaxy where Kepler 22-b is located."

"Yes."

Serena made a standard military salute to William, then returned to the captain's seat and commanded the Zero Fleet to prepare for the overall transition.

William continued to order the officers: "You return to the ministries and let the technicians assist in checking your equipment and complete the disinfection procedures.

Although Kepler 22-b is very suitable for us humans, the indigenous animals and plants may not be able to stand us. They will disinfect me before the scientific research team solves the ecological problems. "

"Yes, boss." The officers also saluted William and left the bridge, returning to their unit.

After giving a series of commands, William moved away from the center console, walked to the porthole at the forefront of the bridge with his hands behind his back, gazing at the gorgeous scenery of space.

To be honest, the Zero Fleet has never been out of the solar system since the rapid development of the near and far colonies. It is no wonder that the officers will have some small complaints.

Just imagine other comrades at the same level returning to Earth after a long voyage, bragging about how beautiful other galaxies are, or there are so many strange creatures, then you will definitely feel that the solar system is too aggrieved.

As for William himself... he has never been far away from the solar system because of the children of Ivan and Yelena.

But now these two cubs have long been able to take care of themselves. There is also a nanny hired at home who is responsible for cooking, and USS is responsible for safety when they go to school.

William finally understands why the children are ‘cumbersome’, even the time he spends alone with Halsey has dropped a lot, and he has to ‘do things’ carefully.

William's yearning for extraterrestrial galaxies is not much worse than that of his officers.

"Coordinate calibration!"

"Clear space ahead!"

"Allowed to jump!"

At this moment, several crew members turned their heads to report the situation loudly to Serena.

And Serena, who was sitting in the captain's position, waved her left hand forward and said: "Leap."

"Yes!"

Along with the dialogue between the crew, outside the porthole, the front end of the ship's hull opened a series of faint blue vortexes.

Infinity and the rest of the warships drove towards their respective entrances of the "Vortex", and finally entered the transition space.

The communication channel that was originally kept unobstructed, at this time there is only the "buzz" current sound, until it reaches the destination, it will remain in the state of being unable to communicate.

William admired the unique ‘water ripple’ landscape in the jump space, Serena left her captain’s seat and came to him to report in a low voice:

"Boss, it is estimated that in nine hours, the Zero Fleet will arrive in the G-type galaxy."

"Well, I see."

William nodded lightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked: "Where is the UNSC colonial fleet? Is it still in Kepler 22-b low-Earth orbit?"

"Yes it is."

"hum..." After hearing the words, William pinched his chin with his left hand and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Serena and asked:

"Selena, do you think it is necessary to perform a standard amnestics on the colonists this time?"

After hearing William’s question, Serena also learned how to pinch his chin, and quickly responded:

"Boss, I don't think we need to take measures to eliminate the colonists until we investigate the ruins clearly and confirm whether the civilization that built them still exists.

If the alien civilization disappears completely, there is no need to amnestics, or even the promotion of Kepler 22-b.

After all, a civilization that has disappeared will not cause panic in ordinary society, and will even become a hot spot of public opinion. "

"Hehe That's right." William said with a chuckle: "It seems that you are the same as I thought. Okay, I will ask you for the matter of Infinity for the time being."

"Yes."

While speaking, William shook his left hand slightly, turned and left the bridge.

...

Time: November 11.

Location: G-type star system where Kepler 22-b is located.

If you observe the stars of this galaxy with the naked eye, you only feel that the light it emits is more bright yellow than the orange of the sun.

Kepler 22-b, located in the habitable zone, is similar to the earth on the whole, and even the light emitted by the atmosphere is the same blue.

The continent is full of green vegetation, the ocean is also showing a pleasant emerald green, and there are only small ice caps at the north and south poles.

is just a general observation, it is not difficult to guess that the overall climate of Kepler 22-b should be more biased towards the earth's tropical climate.

On the sunny side of the planet, there is a fleet of six three-kilometer-long colonial ships, which are moored in low-Earth orbit.

This is the first to discover Kepler 22-b, the UNSC colonial fleet with a pleasant environment.

Around the colonial ship, there are also a large number of military versions of the Pelican, which are entering and exiting the Kepler 22-b atmosphere.

It seems that the UNSC Marine Corps on board the ship is still doing various tests on this planet.
