Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

The platform at the center of the ruins.

When Halsey came to the spherical terminal emitting light blue light, he was still ready to extend his right hand to operate.

But before her right hand touched the terminal, the terminal automatically sensed and then rotated.

Immediately afterwards, the terminal seemed to have some kind of suction, and it sucked Halsey's right hand.

"Buzz!"

The reactor-like device was activated, and the central one flashed a dazzling blue light. With a flick, a holographic projection of an alternative technology appeared around everyone.

The divisions and shapes of its holographic projections are simply star maps of nearby star fields, with stars, planets, and black holes marked.

Seeing such a fantastic scene, everyone present was fascinated by it.

Halsey, on the other hand, didn't pay too much attention, just glanced at the star map, and then continued to operate the terminal.

After half a minute.

The star map rotated for a while, and what appeared in front of everyone was a galaxy with a binary star system.

And an earth-like planet in this galaxy is also marked in red by this holographic device.

Seeing this, Halsey left the spherical terminal, walked slowly to William's side, looked at Serena and said:

"Serena, please store all the knowledge and information on this ruin, and...help us locate this galaxy."

"Yes, Doctor."

Serena nodded her head lightly, and asked Karl who was beside her to assist her in removing the chip installed in the prosthetic body.

Then Carl brought Serena's chip to the terminal, allowing Serena to enter the system of the Forerunner, and began to copy all the data stored in the ruins.

at the same time.

Halsey also said to William: "William, there are still relics of the forerunners on that terrestrial planet, and that relic will guide us to the 'shield world'.

I don't understand the meaning of the shield world yet, but what we need to do now is to go to the terrestrial planet to find out. "

"Hmm." William didn't have any objections either.

Regarding how the members of the Spirit of Fire in "Halo Wars" discovered the process of shield world, William almost forgot all about it.

Fortunately, William followed Halsey's suggestion and brought her to Harvest Star, which could help him find the shield world in the vast universe.

Not long after, Serena left the system of the relic, and with the help of Karl, she returned to her chip and prosthetic body.

And reported to William and Halsey: "Boss, Doctor, I have already copied it."

"Very good." Hearing this, William waved his hand again:

"Now that our purpose has been achieved, it is time to return to the flagship."

"Yes, boss." Everyone present replied.

The purpose of William coming to this ruins is firstly to find the Shield World, and the second is to let the elites such as Saom see with their own eyes that humans can successfully open the ruins of the forerunners.

With the elites like Soom as witnesses and Serena's video, he can use these two points to confuse and sway the elites when he officially fights with the Star Alliance.

next.

William and others returned to the entrance of the ruins by the same route, and then returned to the surface base through the passage dug by the engineering team.

Then take the DR-7 transport boat, escorted by the Zero Fleet's exclusive assault, and return to the Star Destroyer-class flagship above Fengrao City.

Shortly after.

William, who returned to the flagship, let John, Myron, Karl and other imperial troops move freely and rest, so as to recharge their spirits and prepare for the next Human-Covenant War.

And let Selina and other artificial intelligences teach the language of the group of elite humans in Saom.

After all, if the two races want to completely form an alliance and eliminate some discrimination and misunderstanding, then interoperable language is the basis.

The Star Alliance in "Halo" can speak human language, and William believes that the Star Alliance in his world can also learn it.

As for William himself, he and Halsey returned to the dormitory, preparing to study the ruins copied by Serena together.

———————

hours later.

The sky in Fengrao City has become dark, and the Zero Fleet has also moved away from the sky above the city, and has arrived near the hub station on the top of the orbital elevator.

Star Destroyer flagship, Halsey and William's cabin.

A square layout is adopted here, with a large double bed fixed on the deck, and a desk and office chair fixed on the deck.

Sliding door wardrobes, toilets, and floor-to-ceiling windows with virtual natural wind and scenes.

At this time, Halsey had already changed into loose pajamas, sat on the bedside with Arthur in her arms, and patted Arthur's body to lull him to sleep.

William, who was sitting on the office chair, looked at Arthur, whose eyes were closed but his hands were dishonest, and he always had the feeling of "brother successfully reincarnated".

But after all, it's just a baby, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Immediately, he shook his head, throwing away those unscrupulous thoughts, and then saw that Arthur had finally fallen asleep, and said:

"Catherine, what is recorded in that ruin?"

At this time, Halsey showed a peaceful expression, coaxing Arthur to sleep with a flood of maternal love, and replied after a few seconds:

"How should I put it, the ruins of Harvest Star, like the outposts left by the pioneers, are more like a bigger map.

The galaxy that led us to the binary star system, and that galaxy was screened by Serena, and it was confirmed that it was a new colony galaxy developed by the Terra Group.

The terrestrial planet with relics in the newly colonized galaxy was named Arcadia by Constantine.

and

Arcadia's gravity, atmospheric composition, and rotation time are similar to those of Earth, and it is also a planet that can be colonized without modification.

It seems that as long as the planets visited by the forerunners are habitable planets for human beings, it means that the forerunners must have modified these planets. "

"Well." William also deeply agreed, and then said to Halsey: "Actually, I know some information about the shield world."

Halsey suddenly became interested and said, "Oh? Really? How should I say it?"

"Actually." Next, William told Halsey all the information he knew.

After listening, Halsey couldn't help frowning slightly and said:

"If the shield world is to resist the spread of the halo, then it cannot be ruled out that there are flood demons in the shield world.

And based on the information in the ruins of Harvest Star, I guess that in the shield world guided by the ruins of Arcadia, there are 'weapons' left by the forerunners.

Although I don't know exactly what it is, but I think... at least it is an existence that can crush us and the Covenant. "

Hearing this, William immediately said: "Then go to Arcadia immediately tomorrow? Then go to that shield world, how about it?"

"Hehe, don't worry." Halsey smiled slightly at this time, then patted Arthur again, and said to William:

"Based on the reaction of Saom's group of elites, and the terminal that I can easily control the forerunners, even if the Star Alliance discovers the shield world one step ahead, they will not be able to activate those 'weapons'. Only we humans have the qualifications.

Before that, I propose to use the Star Destroyer-class flagship to severely damage the Star Alliance fleet that came to attack Harvest Star. "
