Chapter 1161 -687: An Unfavorable Start_1

In the vast starry sky, a medium-sized transport ship suddenly appeared.

This high-performance transport ship completed decoupling from curvature motion and short-range warp-jump in a very short time, which manifested as a nearly flickering abrupt stop effect.

After stopping steadily, the transport ship did not use curvature-based flight, but spurted out high-energy medium from the rear and accelerated forward.

Ahead lay an extremely complex broken star belt. Both the terrain and radiation conditions were extremely extreme.

The broken star belt was not naturally formed, but a deserted battlefield located between the Orion Arm and the Sagittarius Spiral Arm, called Battle Tomb 1721.

Human fleets and Compound Eye Slaves Tribe fleets had fought here for nearly a hundred years.

Both sides were entangled here, constantly strangling each other’s living forces, constantly probing, ambushing, and attacking each other, pulling the battlefield conditions to favor themselves, and then fighting fiercely for positions.

Every piece of debris, every broken planetary meteorite fragment, and every patch of space bore traces of their confrontation.

There once was a planetary system composed of a binary star system and as many as dozens of large planets.

But now there was not a single intact celestial body here.

A hundred years of war had destroyed everything.

Stars were shattered, dispersed like fireworks, and turned into countless meteors.

Heavy nuclei aggregated, gradually cooled into lightweight meteorites, and then continually captured small dust, continuously expanded, growing like coral reefs into huge rocks the size of weirdly shaped planets.

Most of these massive rocks were still releasing heat.

Some were glowing faintly red all over, while others had magma spewing from their surfaces.

Although there were many massive rocks, the most abundant in this area were clouds filled with high-energy plasma, shaped like comet tails.

Throw a piece of ordinary metal into these clouds, and the metal would dissolve quickly like snowflakes.

Among the massive rocks and star clouds, there were countless large and small remnants of human and Compound Eye Slaves Tribe ships and combat units.

The larger debris was comparable to the Moon, stretching thousands of kilometers in length.

The smaller debris was even as small as a nanometer.

All kinds of solid, liquid, and gaseous substances intertwined in a space with a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers, forming a dangerous area full of terrifying radiation.

Scholars clearly pointed out that under natural conditions, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to stop the intense reactions here and restore it to a usable area suitable for human proliferation under low-cost operation.

This was the competition venue for the Flying Tiger Team and other thirty-nine teams.

At this time, the 40 participating teams on the transport ship could decide when to leave the transport ship and choose to go to different areas.

Each person would only have basic training equipment for survival maintenance.

Participating teams must collect materials as soon as possible and continuously improve their equipment performance.

Whoever completes the most environmental restoration tasks within the specified time and ultimately has the best equipment performance will directly determine the outcome.

Although this assessment indicator seemed simple, the actual competition was full of details and competition.

Landing point selection, the speed and accuracy of geological reconnaissance work, the speed of mechanical equipment assembly, the rationality of the finished product design, resource exchange with other teams, malicious resource grabbing, and performance against threats from alien cosmic species in dangerous areas…

All these factors would directly determine the final results of the participating teams.

Any major mistakes in any link could result in wasted previous efforts.

The competition tested many aspects like the judgment and mobilization abilities of the team leader, planning and coordination skills, as well as the professional knowledge, coordination, trust, and execution capabilities of each team member.

The Flying Tiger Team was now in their small compartment.

Nico Ross, Mata, Edgar, John, and Sophie Lee were all holding their breath, staring intently at the projection in front of them.

A large amount of basic situation information was flashing rapidly in the projection.

They had to select a landing area in the shortest time possible, while also being wary of other teams.The total area of Battle Tomb 1721 is vast, but there are only a few areas rich in resources.

Teams that want to play it safe and avoid intense competition early on will choose areas with low resource density, focus on production and development, and strive to quickly gain stronger mobility and better equipment to make up for the disadvantages of resource density.

Confident teams, on the other hand, will charge headfirst into high-density areas, using their strengths to quickly accumulate resources while hunting down competitors. By eliminating others and plundering their labor results, they can accelerate their progress.

“We’ll land here.”

Nico Ross reached out and pointed directly at the center of the area marked as the First Resource Area.

Intelligence showed that during a previous war, a large human transport fleet had suffered heavy losses here, leaving behind many artificial debris.

Within tens of millions of kilometers around this resource point, there is also a Jupiter-sized giant rod-shaped meteorite and numerous natural metal fragmentation belts.

Near the giant rod-shaped meteorite, a large circle of high-energy radiation clouds are rapidly spinning around like cotton candy.

Although radiation clouds are dangerous, they are also an excellent natural source of power.

Moreover, due to the fast speed of the radiation clouds and the strong gravitational pull between the particles, a safe tornado-like area is formed on the surface of the meteorite.

In Battle Tomb 1721, there is no doubt that this First Resource Area is a prime location.

“Uh, Captain, are we really going all-in like this? What if there are many other people choosing this place? If we get trapped, wouldn’t that be the end of us?”

Morrison Scott happens to speak up before Edgar gives his opinion.

Nico Ross glanced back at him but didn’t say anything.

Lev Chaykovsky, a man of few words and Slavic descent, kicked Morrison. “If you wimp doesn’t hold us back, then we won’t be afraid of anyone.”

Nico Ross grinned. True to the fighting spirit of purebred ancient warriors, Lev was blunt and fearless.

Although Lev’s reasoning was not perfect, it fit Nico Ross’ needs.

He mediated: “According to our division of labor, Morrison is responsible for collecting information on other participating teams. His concerns are fine, but I have my considerations.”

170 seconds later, as Nico Ross pressed the launch button, a pyramid-shaped ejection pod was thrown out of the transport ship.

Inside the ejection pod, Flying Tiger Team members were methodically putting on their refreshed basic training armor.

Morrison, sharp-eyed, stared at the projected intelligence and suddenly screamed, “Oh my! Sixteen ejection pods are going to the same place as us! There are even two Iron Fist squads and a Sword squad in there!”

In the outer research group office, Daniel Thompson’s face also darkened.

Although the mainframe predicted that Flying Tiger Team could make it into the top 20, it might not have calculated the possibility of them being besieged by multiple teams.

Nico Ross’ inflated confidence could lead to disaster.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

A giant rock about ten meters long suddenly flew in diagonally from a distance and accurately hit Flying Tiger Team’s ejection pod. Although it didn’t destroy the pod, it completely changed the trajectory, deviating from the path to the First Resource Area.

Daniel Thompson widened his eyes. “Damn!”

As a coach for the participating teams, Daniel Thompson could see the whole picture from a distance.

The sudden appearance of this giant rock was not due to any cheating, but came from a distant large rock.

According to the layout of the competition field, about three days ago, a violent volcanic eruption occurred on that rock, and then it collided with another rock, throwing off this fragment, which happened to be passing by and hit Flying Tiger Team’s ejection pod precisely.

Daniel Thompson had mixed emotions.

Was this even possible?

Too coincidental, too unlucky, right?

It seemed that Flying Tiger Team’s ejection pod would collide with a small piece of ship wreckage after flying for over an hour.

That area belonged to a resource-depleted zone. Apart from the wreckage, which was only a few hundred meters long, there was essentially nothing there.

A disadvantageous start!
