Chapter 48 Land of Terror

"This mission is to go to NW-AL0083 star."

When all the members of the team arrived at the club, after Hank said the task, Hilton, Tian Ning and Brown immediately changed their faces.

Hearing Brown's scream, Yunyi and Robert were a little puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What is the NW-AL0083 star?"

According to the tradition left by the former Galactic Empire, when every new habitable planet is discovered, the first person to find it will get the right to name it, and everyone will not give up this opportunity. After all, how proud it is to name a planet that can accommodate hundreds of millions of people.

However, if the first person to discover the planet has died without having time to name it, or does not want to name it, or is a habitable planet discovered by an unmanned exploration spacecraft, the planet will be numbered according to region and country.

NW-AL0083, literally, can be interpreted as the 83rd habitable planet in the Republic of Ori in the southwest universe. It's just that Yunyi doesn't know why there is no name.

"NW-AL0083..." Brown muttered the name, with an unnatural look on his face and sighed, "Hank, are we really going to take on this task? Have you forgotten how we found it 15 years ago?

Ham so found this planet by Hank? Yunyi was shocked and obviously didn't believe it. If they found out, the dividend of the planet's tax alone is enough for them to live a rich life. Why should they be a mercenary? Besides, I haven't heard them talk about it on weekdays.

"Fifteen years ago..." A trace of nostalgia appeared on Hank's face. After a moment, he disappeared and regained his silence and said, "Xiao Zhao and Robert don't know about it yet. Brown, you can tell them first."

Brown took a complicated look at Hank, poured a glass of wine, and said while drinking.

Fifteen years ago, I, Hilton and Hank belonged to the same mercenary team. Of course, Hank was not the captain at that time, and I was just a pilot of a medium-sized warship. At that time, because someone found a large number of precious minerals in the Death Broken Star Belt, after the news was sent, countless people who tried to make a fortune in the Dead Star Belt came from various countries in the universe, including businessmen, large and small families, various speculators, adventurers, veterans and so on. People poured into the Dead Star Belt, trying to find valuable minerals from them. At that time, people were simply crazy. Every day, countless spacecraft passed by Kaidra to the Death Star Belt.

"The Broken Star Belt does not belong to any country. It is located in the southernmost part of the southwest universe and borders the Chutang Empire, the Republic of Ori, the Kingdom of Ketla and the Kingdom of Gibold. You can enter from these four countries. However, only those who have entered the Death Star Belt know the horror there. It is full of broken planetary fragments flying at a very high speed, a large number of strong radiation cosmic rays that can increase the aging speed of the metal shell of warships by dozens or hundreds of times, electromagnetic storms that occur from time to time, and even large and small black holes floating around... But even so, almost every day, there are dozens Tens of thousands of people poured into it from four countries..."

"Every day, it is rumored that a certain family has found a large amount of pyroxene. A depressed adventurer found tons of pure gold, and a mercenary team has found something, but I don't know why I rarely hear the news of who brought an accident in the Death Star. Every day, I watched countless spacecraft fly by and listened to those magical rich experiences. At that time, many people, including me, couldn't sit still. However, our team was poorly equipped at that time. In desperation, we had no choice but to unite with the other three teams to accept the employment of a big family from the north of Chutang, take the Republic of Orly, and enter the Death Star Belt from the southwest of Orly..."

After entering the Death Star Belt, we knew the horror here. Even with the new warships and various advanced weapons provided by the big family, there is no way to face the overwhelming fragment of the planet. In order to prevent the fleet from being hit by broken stars, our daily ammunition consumption is even more than that of fighting against the same number of warships. The main gun of the warship is almost full of energy, but even so, we are injured by warships almost every day. Finally, a week after entering the Broken Star Belt, a warship belonging to that family was destroyed..."

"At that time, we thought about giving up, but the accompanying patriarch did not agree, because the minerals we found were all low-cost but high-quality minerals. The patriarch was not satisfied and still let the fleet continue to move forward, and we had to follow because of the contract. Because the environment is too harsh, coupled with the exploration, the fleet's daily sailing speed can't even reach one-tenth of the usual..."

"The tenth day after entering the broken star belt, we found an undiscovered habitable planet. At that time, the whole fleet was very happy, especially the patriarch, who was so excited that he could not speak. However, after approaching, we were dumbfounded. Because of the effect of gravity, there were countless broken stars around the planet. Moving at high speed, we had no way to pass through it. After two days of discussion, the patriarch decided to let all the warships launch the main guns at one point, which could create a gap that lasted for more than ten minutes, enough for a spacecraft to pass at high speed to explore the planet.

"However, when all the warships were fully charged and the main guns were fired, I don't know why the broken stars that originally flew in a fixed orbit rushed towards our fleet. The overwhelming broken star has no time for us to destroy it with artillery. In horror, we can only run for our own lives. At that time, I only glanced at the spacecraft where the patriarch was, and at the same time, I was hit by dozens of broken stars with a diameter of more than ten kilometers..."

"In the end, we fled back to the Republic of Orly in a battered spaceship. In addition to me, Tian Ning and Hank, as well as two other mercenaries and dozens of crew members, the other 286 people died either in the impact of the broken star or were entered the interior of the warship from the damaged place. Strong radiation cosmic rays kill. The two mercenaries were also hit by radiation, and finally died after relying on profound martial arts for several years. Our warships, which have been waiting in the Republic of Orly for a month, have not seen any other spacecraft of the fleet appear. It seems that they have all died in the Death Star Belt..."

"Because of the death of the patriarch who had the right to name the planet, the planet we found can only be named NW-AL0083 according to the regulations. After we reported to the mercenary union, we were told that we could not reach the planet safely and could not be determined. Whether the planet really exists or not, we don't get any rewards. Hey, that was really a big loss. After paying for the maintenance of the warship, the three of us became completely poor..."

Brown whispered a thrilling scene, which made Yunyi and Robert, who had never known about it, grow up in shock.

"So... didn't you say that hundreds of thousands of people go in every day? What good things did other people find? Robert's eyes were shining. After hearing the minerals in the Death Star Belt that were enough to turn people from poor to billionaires immediately, he couldn't sit still.

"Others?" Brown smiled and patted Robert on the shoulder and said, "Robert, listen to me, don't think about the Death Star Belt. Although the events of those years have not been announced by the government or the Internet, I quietly tell you that those who enter the Broken Star of Death and come back alive will never exceed 5%..."
