Chapter 313 Landing Exploration
“Pilot, please choose a suitable place to land in the area where suspected human activities are found! We will start this exploration from there!”
The cabin of the Guangshu , Jessica, a female scientist with blond hair and blue eyes, said to the driver in the communication channel with a slightly excited tone, as if she was not worried at all that the existence of suspected humans would pose a threat to them.
“Okay.”
The controller of the Guangshu agreed without a trace of hesitation. Even though they were the controllers of this spacecraft, in fact, their status was far inferior. As passenger scientists, these scientists are the leaders of this mission.
"Are there really humans on this planet?"
Wang Zhifan, who was listening next to him, was also surprised. He has now figured out the background of this copy. Logically speaking, humans should not exist on this alien planet. , especially the large number of strange buildings that can be seen from high in the sky are completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of any human species, and do not look like a world where humans breed.
Not long after, as the Light Hub got closer and closer to the surface of the planet, he could see things on the ground more and more clearly through the portholes.
First of all, those strange gray buildings that look spectacular at high altitudes become more and more majestic. They are like large and small cones with irregular arcs, covering most of the planet. Surface occupation.
When the spacecraft flies closer to the ground, you can see that the surfaces of these cones are not completely smooth planes, but there are some small holes, and there are even smaller holes from time to time. Things flew out like smoke from a chimney.
As for the bottom of the gray building, it is even more lively. You can vaguely see a large number of tiny things running around them, and there will even be blooming flames and exploding smoke from time to time.
"The race on this planet seems to be very prosperous? It's really brave to let the spacecraft fall down like this..."
Wang Zhifan naturally put the things that could barely be seen on the ground The movable objects have become the main race on this planet. Even though he has not seen clearly what they look like until he arrives, he is currently only thinking about how to deal with the possible pressure.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly stared at a seemingly inconspicuous gray building on the ground outside the porthole window. At the same time, he quickly connected to the communication channel and reminded loudly:
"Attention, pilot! There is an attack coming from the three o'clock direction! Let the spacecraft attack or avoid!"
It turned out that his far superior perception had just discovered that a large amount of energy was gathering in the gray building on the ground. He judged that there was some kind of powerful hostile attack brewing, so he did not hesitate to remind the spacecraft pilot to take countermeasures. , after all, he is just a passenger at the moment, and it is not very convenient for him to help.
"Target found! Activate defense mode!"
The spacecraft pilot's reply came immediately from the communication channel. From his slightly surprised tone, you can tell that he was a little concerned about Wang Zhifan's reminder. Accident.
Boom! boom! Boom!
Then the Guangshu spacecraft began to make some maneuvers, causing the passengers inside to be affected and began to lean back. At the same time, there were continuous violent explosions on the ground. It was the Guangshu that launched the attack first. , so that the gray building was hit by two missiles before it released its firepower, and it also suffered a round of dense long-range artillery, causing the attack it was brewing to turn into brilliant fireworks before it showed its power.
"This pilot is a bit fierce...but I like it."
Wang Zhifan, as a person with the strongest physical coordination ability, was basically not affected by the maneuvers of the spacecraft. When he saw the Guangshu violently bombing potential enemies with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He sighed. He originally thought that the pilots of this spaceship would choose to evade first, but he didn't know that they preferred to strike first.
"Report! There is danger in the original landing area! The spacecraft will move to the surrounding area to seek landing!"
Then the pilot's voice came from the communication channel again. After the scene just now, they were not allowed to Don't choose other places, otherwise you will make yourself uncomfortable.
"Captain Wang, how did you find out about the enemy just now?"
Jessica was not dissatisfied with the pilot's decision at this time, but looked curiously at Wang Zhifan nearby who was still observing the scene outside the porthole. It was difficult to understand how one of his passengers could compare to the pilot who controlled various detectors of the spacecraft. Enemies can also be spotted earlier.
"I rely on intuition, and my intuition has always been accurate."
Wang Zhifan immediately replied without looking back, giving a reason that was difficult for Jessica to refute.
"Then...the safety aspects of ground exploration will be left to Captain Wang. This planet does not seem to be very welcoming to us."
Jessica's eyes were looking through the porthole at the moment, and she could see In the sky outside, there are sporadic long strips of alien bugs chasing towards the Light Hub, but fortunately the speed of the Light Hub is incomparable to them, so they currently do not pose any threat, but it is hard to say if they reach the ground. .
"Captain Jessica! It has been detected that there is at least a moderate level of existential threat on this planet! Are you sure you want to lead the team to land for inspection?"
The voice of the driving team soon came from the communication channel. Shi has become more and more aware that this planet is not as peaceful as it first seemed, so he wants the scientific investigation team to change the exploration strategy.
But Jessica didn’t care too much about the so-called dangers outside. She only wanted to complete the tasks she shouldered.
"This planet is of great value! We must conduct on-the-spot investigation! Please choose a suitable place for us to land!"
With her determined will, the pilot of the Light Hub also I had to agree, and then spent about a quarter of an hour finding a wide, uninhabited flat area near the original area, allowing Wang Zhifan's security team and Jessica's exploration team to safely leave the spacecraft and reach the ground.
But it must be mentioned that because the spacecraft has poor defense capabilities when parked and the spacecraft is too large to easily attract attacks, the Optical Hub did not stay on the ground all the time. It left behind inspection vehicles, exploration personnel and necessary supplies. After that, it quickly rose to high altitude, and would only appear again when people like Wang Zhifan and Jessica wanted to end the investigation or needed help.
"Captain Wang, the human traces detected by the spacecraft just now are in that direction, so we need to head all the way there."
At this time, Wang Zhifan drove the investigation vehicle and sat in Jessica, who was in his passenger seat, indicated the direction of travel. The large-sized research vehicle they drove is a specially-made ground vehicle. In addition to its excellent driving performance, it is also first-rate in adaptability to various bullet-proof and explosion-proof harsh environments. He and four scientists who needed protection were sitting in the front section of the closed carriage. It was like hiding in the strongest tank, but they still put on slightly bulky space suits for the convenience of inspection at any time.
In the back of the carriage, a total of twelve fully armed clone troopers were crowded there, including even clone troopers equipped with combat mechs. Counting the large amount of materials used by people, the carrying capacity of this ground vehicle is evident.
"Why should we look for those humans? I feel that humans may be more dangerous than alien creatures."
Although Wang Zhifan was already controlling the steering wheel of the research vehicle and moving in the direction instructed by Jessica, he In his heart, he still disagreed with these people looking for such a target, even though he himself was a little curious about why there were humans in this place.
“Because according to our speculation, humans should not exist at all on this planet, but the test results show that there is a high probability of existence, so there must be a big secret hidden in it. As investigators, we must uncover this This is a secret, this is our duty to investigate..."
Jessica patiently explained to Wang Zhifan, until he suddenly turned to look at her again and interrupted her.
“My intuition tells me that we should be able to adapt directly to the outside environment without the need to wear protective clothing. Can you do some tests first to make sure? This suit is really uncomfortable to wear.
It turns out that he felt that the environment on this planet was relatively mild for humans, so he didn't want to dress like a robot and find it uncomfortable. However, he couldn't completely trust his own judgment, otherwise some alien viruses would invade his body. This is a hidden danger. At least these scientists and the clone soldiers behind them are difficult to withstand.
“The currently known conditions of this planet are indeed very suitable for the survival of us humans. Otherwise, we would not believe that Guangshu detected the existence of humans. However, scientific investigation is rigorous. In order to prevent our bodies from Bacteria and other microorganisms create cross-contamination with the planet’s environment , which affects the accuracy of the investigation, I suggest everyone to bear with it for the time being.”
The person who said these words was the yellow-skinned young man among the four scientists. Wang Zhifan vaguely knew that he was a professional from the communication. I study biological sciences, so the other party’s opinions in this regard are very important.
“The spacecraft even launched missiles just now, so why are we worried about cross-contamination...”
Wang Zhifan could only say that he was speechless at this explanation. He understood that scientific research needs to be rigorous, but he and his small Compared with his life, he couldn't care about this. When it was time to abandon this burden, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
In this way, several people communicated while driving the research vehicle on the alien land, heading towards the gray cone-like building in the distance that was as tall as a mountain.
Their journey was smooth for the first ten or twenty minutes, and they encountered no unexpected situations. However, if it went on longer, local snakes would greet them.
To be specific, they are ferocious ground-burrowing creatures. They look like black earthworms with carapaces and sharp mouths. Each one is at least three meters long and as thick as an adult thigh. When I discovered that the expedition vehicle was not local, Then he launched a continuous harassment campaign.
At first, these strange creatures tried to break into the research vehicle directly. They continuously emerged from the ground and violently attacked the body, doors, windshield and even wheels of the research vehicle, making several people in the car quite nervous. , but the research vehicle is a specially made vehicle. It can even carry bombs, let alone these small fights. In addition, the vehicle body is as big and as heavy as an old dog. These alien creatures have been hit all over the head. After tasting the slightest bit of sweetness, they gradually retreated and ran away.
"Captain Wang, we need to collect the material of the creature just now for testing. Please stop the vehicle in a safe location and let us get out of the car."
After the incident, Jessica, as the team leader, made demands on Wang Zhifan, the temporary driver. From the black traces left by the violent impact in various parts of the inspection vehicle, it can be judged that the biological material she mentioned refers to the alien just now. The traces left by the creature on the car body also showed that the other party was not a dull person, and did not ask Wang Zhifan, the security captain, to capture an alien creature alive for her.
"Wait a minute, there are still some dangers following the ground around here. You should be fine once you enter the construction area in front."
Wang Zhifan replied in a deep voice after hearing this. His strong sense of perception allows him to detect dangers hidden underground. If he just sees that the ground is calm and lets these scientists come out to work, there will be trouble later.
“Okay, we trust Captain Wang’s intuition.”
Jessica smiled when she saw this, and was not in a hurry for the temporary work.
After continuing to drive smoothly for about half an hour, this large research vehicle drove out of the large flat land just now and entered the surroundings of the huge cone-like gray buildings scattered all over the planet.
Through the thick windshield of the inspection vehicle, Wang Zhifan could see that the ground near these buildings was also covered with gray-black unknown materials. It looked flat and hard, giving people a more solid feel than the cement floor. The feel of the road.
At the bottom of the building, small door-like holes are arranged in a circle. It is so dark inside that it is difficult to see what is there, but there are many on the gray-black ground near these doorways. The wooden stake-like cone was floating back and forth, as if a group of flying guards were patrolling the huge cone.
"What are those? Aliens? Ordinary alien creatures? Or some kind of machine?"
Several scientists in the car could not accurately determine the identity of those suspended moving objects. , because they look too strange, they don’t look like living things but they seem to have aggregation behavior. If they are living things, why don’t they have any reaction to the approach of their research vehicle? You must know that the monsters that were wandering around in the field were very interested in their cars.
"They should be alien machines. My instruments have detected the electronic effects inside them, which are very similar to the alien object where we found the coordinates."
The punk-style black girl expressed her opinion at this time. He is an expert in the field of electronic computers. He attaches great importance to the machinery that appears during inspection work and wants to make major breakthroughs from the works of aliens.
“We need to find a way to get a sample, that way our research will be very convenient.”
The black girl felt that the suspended cone outside seemed not offensive, so she proposed Everyone should have something in hand, otherwise the efficiency of light detection from a distance will be very low.
“Don’t do that! Those things contain a lot of energy, and if you try hard with them, you might be blown into pieces!”
Wang Zhifan quickly stopped their thoughts after hearing this, because he felt that these suspended objects were much more dangerous than the previous earth-burrowing creatures.
