Chapter 1 Because this vast base is essentially a city with extremely valuable land, the buildings are dense and complex, aggressively occupying the aerial space, and also constructing numerous aerial platforms, the movement of this aircraft gives people a feeling of exceptional skill and flexibility.

It is as if a combination of a frog and a dragonfly. At times, it extends two long legs from under its belly, stepping on the edges of buildings like a frog leaping, then storing power and exerting force to rise or avoid obstacles in a jumping manner, and then using thrusters to fly for a while in a convenient place, full of whimsy.

After the aircraft's final leap, it landed directly above the connecting passage that Fang Senyan was about to enter. Immediately afterward, the sealed door above the passage was opened. First, six fully armed military police officers jumped down, pointing their futuristic weapons at Fang Senyan to prevent any unusual movements.

Then, a general wearing a black military uniform and the rank of a Major General with red纹 appeared before everyone.

Major Leikeli trembled violently. He looked at the general with a ghostly expression, and desperately shouted into the communicator:

"Anbar, didn't you say that a colonel on duty was coming? But, why is it General Black?"

There was no answer. Obviously, Anbar on the other side had cut off communication as if he had seen a ghost or a deadly plague. However, the arriving General Black looked very young, with delicate features and a head of brilliant blond hair, looking like Leonardo during the filming of Titanic, full of enthusiasm and sunshine.

He first ordered the military police to lower the guns pointed at Fang Senyan, and then solemnly asked:

"What's going on?"

Fang Senyan shrugged his shoulders and said with regret:

"I am a contractor from the past, General, and I was ordered to be dispatched here to perform relevant tasks. In fact, I haven't been on this space base for more than thirty minutes. Then, when that major was inspecting me, he asked me to take off my pants, spread my legs, and stick out my butt."

"And I am sure that this is not the task I am to perform, and the content of my task will not have anything to do with homosexuality. So I refused his request, and then we had some unpleasant differences. That's roughly what happened."

General Black nodded and said:

"It sounds like you have been treated unfairly, but for now, this is just your side of the story."

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"I don't mind hiring a lawyer to defend my innocence, and I don't care about swearing on the Bible that what I said is true. In order to uphold the dignity of the law, I can even wait for the trial. It’s just that, in that case, I will miss the deadline stipulated in the conscription order, and for us contractors, that means a very, very big trouble, even related to survival or death."

General Black said lightly:

"The court is not the only way to find out the truth of the matter. As for your concern about being late, you can rest assured... because this reconnaissance and sampling mission of yours is a bit complicated. Some detailed explanations are needed beforehand, and you need to undergo some simple training. I am in the team responsible for training you, and I happen to be responsible for determining whether any of you are late."

At this time, a group of fully armed soldiers rushed out of the opposite passage again, but after seeing General Black, they hesitated and stopped far away. A colonel leaned in a little closer, took a look, confirmed that it was General Black, and then turned around and left very decisively...

Fang Senyan stopped talking, folded his arms and looked at General Black, wondering how he would demonstrate the level of Sherlock Holmes and completely understand the truth of the matter, but he immediately realized that his idea was stupid, because immediately a military policeman turned on the communicator and shouted:

"Calling the logistics department. Calling the logistics department! Immediately transfer the holographic video of exit A-18 within half an hour, and restore the entire process of the incident. You have thirty seconds to do this. Authorizer: c51! ovr."

In just five seconds, several probes were lowered from the ceiling, directly aimed at the previous entrance, and then Fang Senyan, Major Leikeli, and his two subordinates were simulated with holographic projections in the original location of the incident.

More importantly, this is not just a simple projection, but a complete modeling of the holographic 3D human body model, perfectly imitating the expressions and other things at that time. As for the sound, it should have been recorded long ago, and it is now being played directly.

General Black looked expressionlessly at the entire process of the matter, and then until Fang Senyan punched out, and the light of the Nightmare Mark on his chest turned into a fist, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Strength specialty? You are very strong. It is quite rare for someone with this specialty to get the rank of Imperial Lieutenant Colonel in the colonist stage."

Fang Senyan's heart moved, and he pretended to be stunned and said:

"Isn't our information provided to you by the Nightmare Space?"

General Black glanced at Fang Senyan and said:

"I don't know, maybe my level is not high enough to obtain your relevant information."

During the conversation between the two, the holographic projection had already finished playing. General Black turned to look at Major Leikeli, who was half-dead, and said lightly:

"Do you have anything to say in your defense, Major?"

Major Leikeli trembled violently, but did not say a word. Two of General Black's personal military policemen walked up and dragged him away like a dead dog. At this time, General Black smiled and extended his hand to Fang Senyan. His smile had a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze:

"Officially speaking, you have not violated any imperial laws. Privately speaking, I also think what you just did was right, so please put aside these unpleasant things. Welcome to Alps Seven Base, Lieutenant Colonel, I am Major General Fiji."

Fang Senyan also shook his hand:

"Nice to meet you, sir."

Sitting in Major General Fiji's exclusive aircraft, Fang Senyan began a very direct close-up encounter with this vast base.

Generally speaking, the style here is not much different from Fang Senyan's era, and it is somewhat similar to the scene inside the first ring road of a big city - extremely dense high-rise buildings, platforms that strive to develop aerial space, and a layout between buildings that completely ignores lighting, only seeking as compact an arrangement as possible. In addition, through the transparent glass curtain wall giant pipes, you can also see ant-like crowds on the streets, extremely crowded, with the kind of bustling and lively atmosphere that is busy 24 hours a day.

The biggest difference from modern cities is that, because it is directly exposed to outer space, the surrounding high-rise buildings are covered with a very advanced curtain wall, and the surface has a metallic luster, as if plated with a layer of stainless steel, full of majesty and a feeling of oppression.

The surface of the street is not concrete or asphalt at all, and there are no vehicles to be seen. Except for the ten-meter-wide sidewalks on both sides of the street, all the rest are metal conveyor belts, each metal conveyor belt is about three meters wide, and the speed is clearly marked on it.

The speed of the metal conveyor belt closest to the sidewalk is two kilometers per hour, which can be said to be quite slow, but next to it is a conveyor belt with a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, and the speed of the most central conveyor belt reaches sixty kilometers per hour.

Under normal circumstances, people can easily step onto a conveyor belt with a speed of two kilometers per hour, and then there will be left and right footprint indentations on the conveyor belt. After stepping into the footprint indentations, if you need to return to the sidewalk, then step hard on the foot closer to the sidewalk, and it will naturally send you back to the sidewalk.

If you need to get on the faster conveyor belt with a speed of twenty kilometers per hour next to it, then step hard on the foot closer to the fast conveyor belt. The machinery under your feet will smoothly and smoothly send the riding person to the conveyor belt you want to go to. The ingenuity of its conception and the sophistication of its technology are amazing.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for traffic jams to occur with such a design, but the situation Fang Senyan saw before entering this base - mainly referring to the first ring track and the second ring track surrounding the base - fully illustrates that there are also large-scale traffic jams here, and they happen frequently. From this, it can be seen that the population of this base has reached an astonishing figure that Fang Senyan dare not even imagine.

*

After seeing the scenery of the future world, the aircraft also approached the center of the base, but here it was uncharacteristically in stark contrast to the surrounding high-rise buildings that wanted to occupy all the space. A magnificent pyramid stood in the center of the base, its length and width should be about three kilometers. Around the pyramid, there are transparent glass curtain walls as the ceiling, and there are forests, gardens, flowing water and other places for recreation and play.

"It seems that the hierarchy of future humans is really even more strict." Fang Senyan thought to himself. "This should be where the upper class lives."

Major General Fiji saw that Fang Senyan was a little distracted, so he misunderstood and smiled:

"Do you feel very strange about this pyramid? Not many contractors have been here, and the reactions to seeing this shape are similar. Contractors from the Middle East area of ancient Earth will be very excited and friendly, and will say wow, that's so cool. The other contractors simply believe that the upper echelons of the empire are all controlled by the descendants of the ancient Egyptians, but that is not the case."
