Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 127 Extraterrestrial Life Forms

This time, Roy quickly and steadily removed the unidentified object from the unknown solution.

As soon as it left the liquid, the small creature, which resembled a cub, struggled incessantly in the air, its pale blue liquid splashing everywhere.

At that moment, the perceptive Platinum noticed that the protective shield on Roy's robotic arm showed signs of corrosion.

"Roy, throw it out."

Upon hearing this, Roy threw the little thing into the sea.

Roy then retreated to its original position, raised the Gauss rifle on its back, and pointed it at the little thing rolling on the shore.

After rolling a certain distance on the rocks, these little creatures revealed their true appearance.

It resembles a human in appearance, with two arms, two hoof-like feet, relatively thick limbs, and obvious joint structures.

It is light blue overall, and unidentified threads can be vaguely seen inside its body.

"Alien life form!"

The three gasped, gripping their guns even tighter, the muzzles pointing steadily at the small creature that remained motionless.

After observing for a while with their guns drawn, the three found that the target remained in place without any signs of movement. Lorraine then had Platinum activate the detection system on her armor to detect the target in different ways.

"Weak radiation, weak infrared signal, and strong magnetic field signal were detected."

Upon hearing Platinum's report, Lorraine frowned, then instructed Platinum to transmit all the data to Cleveland for analysis.

He then put down his Gauss rifle, took out his pistol, aimed at it, and fired.

"Slap slap slap"

Three 9mm bullets struck its body in quick succession, two hitting its torso and one its arm.

The humanoid object's arm was broken after being hit, and it rolled on the ground for a distance. After it stopped, it was discovered that its back had not been directly pierced by the bullet.

Seeing this, Platinum switched his electromagnetic rifle to single-shot mode and aimed at the humanoid figure's torso to fire.

The 8mm steel nail, accelerated by the coil, pierced directly through its body and embedded itself in the rocks on the ground.

"Infrared signal decreases, magnetic field signal weakens."

Platinum then contacted Lorraine through the internal communication channel and shared his conjecture.

"These guys learned to play dead even in their juvenile form."

Lorraine felt a chill run down his spine, and then instructed Cleveland to begin investigating and analyzing the industrial park to identify areas that needed special protection.

"Should we fire a few more shots at this unidentified creature and kill it outright?"

Lorraine shook her head. This might be the only sample they had, and they needed to preserve it as intact as possible.

"For safety reasons, those stored in that warehouse will be destroyed by artillery fire."

Bai Jin and Ouyang Nian had no objections, so they stood there and waited for the unknown life to die completely.

Soon after, the infrared and magnetic field signals of the unidentified life form disappeared completely.

Platinum took out his longsword, flipped it over with the scabbard, and saw the corroded reef.

"Commander, their bodies contain an acidic liquid with an unknown pH value that can corrode the reef."

Lorraine pondered for a moment, then instructed Ouyang Nian to return to the flagship with the gun barrel-shaped sample and select suitable materials to create three containers capable of containing the unidentified creature.

He boarded the Vanguard transport ship docked at the shore and took out a crowbar.

"Roy, come over here and move this guy away a bit."

Upon hearing this, Roy extended his two mechanical arms and, under the "watching" of the mechanical dogs, moved them to a relatively flat reef five meters away from Platinum and Lorraine.

Looking at the acid-stained rocks, Lorraine took out a crowbar, inserted one end into the crack below, and tried to pry them open.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Lorraine retrieved the crowbar, pulled Platinum slightly away from the reef, and then used the Gauss rifle to cut the reef open.

The impact of the 8mm steel nail left the acid-stained rock standing alone, its size almost identical to that of the unidentified creature.

By the time Lorraine pried the rock off, Ouyang Nian had also returned to the shore with the newly made containment box.

With Roy's help, Ouyang Nian put the unidentified creature into a containment box, and then she fixed the large thermite incendiary bomb on top of the box.

After both sides completed containment, Cleveland's mission was not yet finished, so the three of them put the two containment boxes back on the flagship.

To prevent the unknown creature from coming back to life, Lorraine placed the containment box containing the creature into a heavy iron box, which she then placed on the aft deck.

This ensures that if any abnormality occurs, the robotic arm can immediately throw it into the sea.

After placing the containment box in place, Cleveland completed the analysis and marked it on the map.

After confirming that the warehouse near the first target point contained common raw materials, the three people and the mechanical dog hid on the transport ship, keeping a certain distance from the coast.

"All personnel have retreated to a safe distance; artillery fire can commence."

Then, the flagship dipped slightly at the bow, and three 76mm high-explosive shells were fired, accurately hitting the warehouse containing a large number of iron barrels.

After the black smoke from the explosion dissipated, a reconnaissance drone conducted a close-up reconnaissance and found that the warehouse had been razed to the ground and all the items inside had disappeared.

All targets have been destroyed. Mission complete.

After receiving the message, Lorraine checked the intelligence system and, after confirming that there was no danger inside, the three of them began to look for a suitable landing point.

After flying 5 kilometers eastward along the coastline, the reconnaissance drone spotted a small dock connected to a small shipyard, with several buildings marked as factories next to the shipyard.

The two warships moved slowly along the coastline and soon arrived near the dock. The Vanguard transport ship, thanks to its extremely low draft, safely docked next to the dock, unfolded its ramp, and moored on the dock.

The three then drove a special transport vehicle, carrying the robotic dogs, up the ramp to the dock, preparing to head first to explore the warehouse marked on the map.

As they drove along the wide, six-lane road, the three of them looked at the different buildings on both sides of the road with some confusion. These buildings, marked as factories, were all similar, but the passageways in front of their gates varied in size.

Some lanes are wide enough for two trucks to drive side by side, and the gates are just simple roller shutters; other lanes are as wide as six lanes, and the gates are no different from those of an aircraft factory.

With these questions in mind, the group drove their vehicle and, after turning a corner, arrived at Warehouse No. 1 behind the factory.

Platinum pried open the lock, untied the chains wrapped around the door, and the three entered the factory under the escort of the mechanical dog.

The first thing that catches the eye is several large, square boxes placed on a stand, with several folded robotic arms on top.

Lorraine blinked a few times, adjusting to the slightly dim environment of the warehouse, and made out the details of the large box in front of her.

This large box is black and white, about two meters long and wide, and about 1.5 meters high. There are two upward-folding support frames on each side.

Lorraine came to the front of the large box, which was made of a single piece of glass. Through the glass, he could see that there were two seats inside, with a joystick on each side of the seats and a laptop-sized screen between the two seats.

Bai Jin and Ouyang Nian then moved the six mechanical arms on the top of the machine forward, returning them to their original positions.

"This is a multi-rotor aircraft, so why is it designed to be so compact?"

As he spoke, Ouyang Nian opened the hatch, stretched out his hand and gestured, and found that it was difficult for him to enter the cabin while wearing the exoskeleton armor.

"Who knows?"

Lorraine shrugged, looked up, and gazed at the two ducted fans beneath the robotic arm.

"I think I recognize this aircraft."

Platinum said, circling the aircraft once.

"This appears to be a portable electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that can be charged using electric vehicle batteries and primarily flies in the low-altitude region of 50 to 100 meters."

Do you have the load capacity data?

"Here."

Ouyang Nian pointed to a nameplate on the cabin door frame.

"Maximum flight speed: 180 km/h, maximum range: 300 km, payload: 300 kg."

"Tsk. This is only suitable for transferring between ships."

Lorraine scanned the depths of the warehouse and, finding no other aircraft, took out his data tablet and marked the warehouse where they were located.

"Let's go check out the next warehouse."

Lorraine led the way out of the warehouse, boarded a vehicle, and drove towards the adjacent Warehouse No. 2.

The passageway at the entrance of this warehouse is only one meter wider than that at the entrance of Warehouse No. 1, and the width of the main gate is no different from that of Warehouse No. 1.

Lorraine was mentally prepared that the warehouse would still be used for portable aircraft.

After Platinum opened the artificial passage, Lorraine looked at the aircraft in front of him with some surprise.

The aircraft is 16.7 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 5 meters high. The main body is white, with blue lines adorning the wings that fold over the sides of the fuselage. The tail has two vertical tail fins arranged side by side.

The folded wing is approximately 7 meters long. A four-bladed propeller, with blades nearly 3 meters long, is mounted on the rear middle part of the wing, about 3 meters from the wingtip. Two pairs of ducted fans, each 2 meters in diameter, are also mounted at the front and rear of the fuselage.

Lorraine bent down and discovered that there was an electro-optical turret installed below the nose of the aircraft, and a gap could be vaguely seen in the middle of the fuselage.

"A six-fan tiltrotor aircraft? Or an unmanned version?"

This was a design that Lorraine had never seen before. In his previous life, he had only seen two types of twin-engine tiltrotor aircraft. The one that was put into use had frequent accidents, and the other model was still in the technology verification stage.

Lorraine turned to look at Bai Jin and Ouyang Nian. Ouyang Nian shook his head, indicating that he did not know the model of the gyroplane.

"I've seen similar ones, but I don't know their specific model."

Seeing that neither of them knew, Lorraine could only take out her data tablet and point it at the gyroplane in front of her.
