Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Eridanus Epsilon.

The galaxy's star is called Epsilon Eridani, a star 1.5 times more massive than the Sun.

There are six planets in the Eridanus ε galaxy, of which the first four are terrestrial planets, and the remaining two are giant gaseous planets of similar size.

And these two giant gaseous planets, according to Umbrella's scan and detection, are 1.7 times and 2.3 times larger than Jupiter's mass, respectively.

The two terrestrial planets, εa and b, are similar to Mercury in the solar system, and εd is similar to Mars, and these three terrestrial planets are all on the edge of the habitable zone.

Among them, only Eridanus εc is located exactly in the middle of the habitable zone, and it is also the first planet discovered by Umbrella since launching the Towards Dawn project, whose atmosphere, gravity, and other aspects are similar to the earth——

Reach.

As a "military city" jointly developed by Umbrella and UNSC, it is also one of the main shipbuilding planets of both parties, because it is rich in titanium resources.

View of Reach from 0.25TEM.

The atmosphere is tinted blue due to the light from the stars, and both the North and South Poles are constantly lit with light green auroras.

Because of its topography and size, there is no ocean like the Pacific Ocean that can occupy nearly one-third of a planet's surface.

However, as the gateway to the solar system, and also a planet rich in titanium resources, Reach decided that it was not a colony for sightseeing.

look around.

You can see the low-earth orbit of Reach, a large number of space stations with different responsibilities, and an electromagnetic gun array with 30 tons of tungsten projectiles.

Moreover, Zhiyuan Star was the main place where the UNSC stationed troops at the beginning, and naturally a large number of warships were indispensable here.

Although Umbrella has completely controlled the UNSC, Umbrella has not changed his basic policy. The fleet that stays on Reach for defense has been maintained at more than 20 all year round.

Umbrella's Second, Third, and Fourth Fleets were among them.

The Infinity-class flagships of the three fleets were equipped with fifty Spartan Phase 2 fighters and their fifty divine bodies.

It can be said that these three fleets of Umbrella are the real main defense force of Reach Star.

at this time.

Thirty-two warships of different levels suddenly appeared in low-earth orbit on the sun-facing side of Zhiyuan Star.

This is the Zeroth Fleet commanded by William himself, just out of the state of warp speed.

Shortly after arrival.

Still a flying formation composed of a Pelican and four Viking fighters, they left the hangar of the Infinity and flew towards the Gobi area in the northern part of Reach far away from the city.

Inside the cabin of the Pelican.

It is still William, Serena, John, Karl and Myron.

This time it was William standing alone in front of the cabin door, looking out through the porthole.

Myron sat on the seat on the right, took out a handheld device specially tailored by Microsoft for him, and played the "Fried Cold Rice" version of "Abnormal Crisis 2".

The reason why it is called customization is that Myron's big hands cannot handle normal-sized handles and buttons at all.

(In terms of metaphor, it is O'Neill drinking mineral water.)

William, who crossed his arms on his chest, looked out the porthole with a slight frown.

At this time, the Pelican had already entered the atmosphere of the star Reach under the escort of Viking fighter jets.

look down.

Then you can see the surface of Reach Star and the unique green plants on the surface.

Although Reach is an important place for humans, William has only come to this planet a limited number of times. After all, most things can be handled through the quantum network.

Every time he came to Reach Star, William only felt that the scenery and landforms below had a different kind of familiarity.

When William was in high school...

The high school before time travel.

At that time, he spent fifteen yuan to buy a game of "Halo: Reach", which was also the most uncomfortable "Halo" game he played.

Of the six members of the noble team, only Jun survived.

It was also this game that made William realize how desperate it is to fight the Star Alliance.

In the end, mankind's victory is indeed inseparable from the Master Chief, but it is also inseparable from the Spartans who sacrificed behind them, as well as the soldiers who are ordinary people.

Fortunately, in the world he is in now, the noble team is still intact on the Infinity.

Carter, the calm lieutenant colonel in the game, now has a more cheerful personality than in the game, and even teases the relationship between Corax and the water elves.

"Boss, we will arrive at Shipyard No. 0 soon."

When William was staring at the scene outside the window in a daze, Serena was already standing behind him, reminding him softly.

"okay."

William, who had regained his composure, nodded lightly, preparing to wait for the Pelican to land.

Soon, William felt that the Pelican was slowly descending, and he also saw the 'No. 0 Shipyard' through the porthole.

The No. 0 shipyard is located on the plains of the Gobi. Due to the direction of the flight, William can only see a section of the shipyard.

Immediately afterwards.

When the Pelican turned around and prepared to land, the porthole just happened to be able to roughly see the scale of the No. 0 shipyard.

It is about twenty kilometers long and ten kilometers wide.

There is no height, but a sunken structure, so it should be depth.

However, due to the blocking buildings above the shipyard, it is impossible to see what is going on below, nor do I know the specific depth.

"Boom~."

A sense of frustration came, which meant that the Pelican had landed smoothly.

"Hoo~!"

The moment the cabin door was opened, the air flow poured into the cabin, which was also mixed with some lighter sand grains.

The air here is not as good as on Mars.

Mars is an environment controlled by humans, and the atmospheric composition here has been modified, but it still belongs to the natural environment.

There is simply no possibility of a situation where 'the air is sweet here'.

Get out of the cabin.

Several Umbrella Marines in combat uniforms in desert earth colors and fully armed, as well as technicians in gray Umbrella uniforms, came to greet them.

Afterwards, William and the five followed the leadership of the local staff, left the parking platform on the edge of the shipyard, and went to the elevator that could lead to the interior of the shipyard.

Enter the elevator with giant glass on three sides.

"Boss." The supervisor of a technician said a little nervously:

"We haven't received any notice that you will visit the shipyard in person. Is there something about us that makes you dissatisfied and you need to come and inspect it in person?"

"Hehe, don't be nervous." With a kind smile on his face, William patted the supervisor on the shoulder and said:

"I just wanted to take a look at the construction progress of our future flagship on a whim."

"So that's the case." The supervisor showed a relieved face, and then said:

"According to the design drawings provided by Dr. Russell and the maximum cooperation of the engineering team, it is estimated that the flagship of the 'Star Destroyer' class will be completed in another two months."
