Chapter 164 Civilian Ships or Military Vessels? From Open to Hidden

In the outer hall of the port of call;

"Dear friends." Robin Mead, who was sitting on the guest sofa, still faced the camera and reported live to netizens:

"We have already contacted the person in charge of Atlas. It will not be long before we can take the engineering ship that has not yet been put on the market and go to the colonial city on the moon's surface..."

Having said this, Robin glanced around the brightly lit hall and took a few deep breaths:

"Also, now I feel like I am waiting for the shuttle bus to the moon. I am a little excited, but not overly nervous. And this was something that would have been unthinkable a few years ago."

After glancing at the barrages and messages sent by netizens to confirm that everything was in order, Robin continued to give everyone a brief report.

Didn't have to wait long.

She and Jerry saw dozens of Atlas Engineering Department engineers wearing black overalls and more casual tops appearing in the lobby with their luggage in hand and walking towards the interior of the port of call.

At the same time, an engineer with short hair and more formal clothes came to Robin and Jerry who stood up.

He took the initiative to extend his right hand to Robin, who was the reporter and live broadcast host, and said: "You two should be Mead and Jerry, the field team of "Seattle Noon News". It's nice to meet you two. I'm Ah Senior engineer of Truss Engineering Department, Liu Junhao.”

"Hello."

Hearing this, Robin quickly stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the other person, and replied: "It's an honor to have Engineer Liu lead us on the legendary spaceship to the surface of the moon."

"Haha, it's not a legendary spaceship, it's a bit exaggerated."

Liu Junhao let go of his hand, turned around and walked towards the interior of the docking port, and explained to Robin and Jerry who were following him, as well as all the viewers watching the live broadcast:

"The engineering ship we are about to board is actually a mass-produced type. Just to avoid unnecessary public controversy and the destruction of traditional industries, the company has not chosen to publicly announce it or put it on the market. "

Having said that, the group of them came to the counter area numbered 6 and prepared to check in.

And behind the counter area is the security checkpoint leading to the covered bridge. There are only four space city security guards wearing full-coverage individual equipment and dark blue combat uniforms, holding 6.2mm modular rifles, responsible for passing inspections and scanning personal belongings. Baggage security check procedures.

It is said to be security, but most of the members of Space City Security, which is affiliated with the Atlas Armed Department, are veterans of the Rapid Reaction Force (ARS) and Emergency Countermeasures Force (AECS) with rich practical experience.

After all, the space city is an important asset built by Atlas in the main universe and requires real elites to ensure safety.

In addition to the security forces that people can see on the surface, Atlas has also deployed a battalion-sized orbital assault team (ODST) in the space city, and 4,000 improved assault rifles controlled by the assault team leader. Clones.

As for biological weapons such as Tyrant and Cerberus, they are on standby for a long time. Once an emergency occurs, they will cooperate with the orbital commando team to eliminate all threats.

now.

Liu Junhao, Robin, and Jerry came to the counter. A female check-in attendant wearing a black slim-fitting uniform, a top hat and a red silk scarf said with a smile:

"Hello, please show me your identity card or relevant documents."

Hearing this, Liu Junhao handed the other party a translucent identity card, and Robin also took out two temporary magnetic cards from his suit pocket and placed them on the counter.

Immediately afterwards, the check-in staff scanned the magnetic cards of the three people in turn, and then used the biometric scanner at the counter to confirm that the identity information was correct, and then returned the magnetic cards to the three of them one by one, still smiling, and said:

"Welcome everyone to take this flight. We have arranged seats A, B, and C in row 14 of cabin 1 for you. I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Thank you."

Liu Junhao, who took back his identity card, thanked him and went to the security checkpoint for inspection. He successfully passed the security check and stood at the front of the covered bridge waiting.

And Robin and Jerry were close behind.

The main reason is that the whole process is not much different from an ordinary flight, so the field duo of "Seattle Noon News" quickly passed the security check and met up with Liu Junhao who was waiting.

Then, the three of them came to the covered bridge. While they continued to move forward, Jerry also re-adjusted the camera and captured Liu Junhao and Robin who were walking in front into the live broadcast.

When the three people stepped onto the flat escalator and could free their feet to move forward, they saw through the panoramic observation window placed on the corridor bridge that they saw the neatly arranged large docking ports exposed to the vacuum environment, as well as the robot arms. Numerous ships anchored in the harbor.

The engineering ship that was the target of their trip was moored at the end of the covered bridge.

Judging from its appearance, the engineering ship is about 90 meters long, 15 meters wide, and 25 meters high. It does not have many features, and is not even as big as the Eneo.

However, the overall shape of the engineering ship is more like a "ship", not a large aerospace vehicle like the Ernio, and most of the capabilities and data of the engineering ship will crush the Ernio. level exists.

Not only the three of them, but all the viewers on the live broadcast platform also saw the docking port of the space city and the engineering ship at the end of the covered bridge.

User 3367: "This ship looks a little bigger than the Atlas civilian space shuttle. It doesn't seem to be shocking."

The Supreme Power: "Brother, you have to understand that Atlas is a military-industrial complex, a military industry. The civilian ships in front of us, who knows how big their military ships will be? Those are all secrets."

Paratroopers face the enemy sea! : "Anyway, I quite like it, and the guys on the forum are also analyzing and discussing, guessing that Atlas's military ships may have some kind of orbital assault paratrooper force! This is very suitable for my taste!"

Naming 1237: "Robin and the engineering ship are indeed pleasing to the eye, but I want to see more of the moon city. I want to see what the colony looks like!"

Netizens expressed their opinions one after another. It seems that the construction ship failed to cause too much emotional waves.

Seeing this, in order to satisfy his curiosity and create a hot topic, Robin walked up to Liu Junhao and asked:

"Mr. Liu, as we all know, Atlas is a giant company that spans the world, in which the sales of arms products occupies an absolutely dominant position. So, in addition to the civilian engineering ships we have in front of us, does Atlas also build What about military-grade space ships?”

After Robin finished speaking, Liu Junhao pretended to frown.

But in fact, he had already received a joint notice from the Information Department and the Public Relations Department, reminding him that he could "appropriately" disclose the company's true strength to the outside world.

Therefore, Liu Junhao seemed to hesitate for a moment before he asked:

"Ms. Meade, since you and everyone know that Atlas is a giant company and a military-industrial complex, do you think Atlas has military-grade space ships?"

Robin was stunned when he heard the rhetorical question, but he quickly reacted and tried to say:

"According to Mr. Liu's intention?"

"hehe."

Liu Junhao didn't say anything directly, but the smile on his face seemed to be a response. This caused a surge in comments and comments on the live broadcast channel. It seemed that netizens were discussing what Atlas's warship would look like. .

However!

At this moment, the originally bright lights instantly switched to dark red, representing an emergency, and at the same time, a broadcast reminder sounded:

"Attention all personnel, this is the main control room of the space city. Please return to your respective rooms or residences immediately and ensure that the pressure-maintaining measures are completed in your rooms and residences.

I repeat, everyone is asked to return to their rooms or residences immediately! This is not a drill! This is not a drill! "
