This mission has nothing to do with the fleet, the thick atmosphere of this highly toxic planet contains an unknown magnetic field, which can prevent any detection system from probing directly from space, and can only send a team to land inside the planet to explore on the ground.

There are no aliens on this planet, and there are no traces of pioneer civilizations, but the extremely harsh environment and ubiquitous toxins on the planet, as well as the creatures living in this harsh environment, are even more terrifying than the alien planet that Fang Ning encountered on the road, and the average ground force cannot go down without anti-poison equipment and strong strength.

3,000 sets of gas masks, 20 sets of water purification filters, 20 sets of air purification devices, 100 sets of military tents, 20 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and 50 unmanned reconnaissance robots.........

In the new Atranta orbital space station, Fang Ning is purchasing the necessary equipment to enter the planet.

The price is not high but there are many of them, fortunately, Xiao Yezi prepared a slip for him before, which listed some of the necessary equipment and tools to enter the planet, Fang Ning bought most of them according to his own situation, and he didn't need a small amount.

Then two special shuttles were rented in the space station, which were specially customized according to the situation of this planet, and ordinary shuttles could not enter this planet.

Once ready, the next step was to wait for the space station to orbit the planet, where the team would go down, and he would have to land from the location where they landed to search for the missing team.

While waiting, Fang Ning was idle and wandered around the trading market on the space station.

This space station is not large, only the second-level starport level, the space inside is limited, there is no entertainment area, except for the area owned by the military of the lord country, the other areas are all trade areas, and the huge square is full of stalls placed by players.

The stalls sell a variety of things, basically related to the poisonous planet of New Atranta, either something that is necessary to travel to the planet, or something bizarre that players risk to bring out of the planet.

There are fierce beasts unique to this planet, and there are also unique plants.

Among them, Fang Ning is most interested in the business of providing hire, which is divided into two kinds, one is a team of bodyguards formed by players, which specializes in protecting some players who like to adventure on different planets to go down to the planet to play.

The other is the mercenary group, which has a large army force for employers to hire, and as long as they can afford it, they can easily pull up a more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of army corps to land on the planet to fight.

The strongest mercenary group among them comes from the official army of the Lord of Palamon, as long as the player can afford to pay for it, from ordinary offensive troops, to genetic troops, and even third-level heavy mechanical combat troops.

With the danger of the poisonous planet of New Atalanta, the best business is hired here, the guide business ranks second, and the third is all kinds of equipment necessary to enter the planet.

The mercenary Fang Ning doesn't need it, he has a powerful Lost Empire Army, and he only needs a part of the equipment, in fact, the Lost Army itself has matching equipment, which can basically adapt to any planetary environment, including a highly toxic planet, Fang Ning bought another batch just in case.

In fact, the Lost Army is all Level 3 elite genetic warriors, who are genetically modulated and immune to ordinary poisons, and the poison on this planet does not affect them much.

Hired three guides who often go in and out of the planet, and then bought a planetary flora and fauna illustrated book, which indicates tens of thousands of unique animal and plant characteristics on the planet, and this illustrated book has been updated, anyone who enters the planet and sees animals or plants or minerals that are not in the atlas, can enter the information into the illustrated book, as long as it is new and has not appeared, will get a reward from the military of the lord country.

There are not many rewards, but they are all prostitutes in passing, and no one will refuse.

Two hours later, the two specially made shuttles were adjusted, the target orbits were calibrated, and the purchased equipment was fully loaded into them, and Thunderhammer boarded the plane with two hundred lost armies, and plunged headlong into the sea of poisonous gas tumbling beneath the space station.

Of course, the first wave of exploration does not need to go down with him, the leader, otherwise, what are you doing with so many subordinates.

The shuttle lost contact with the planet's atmosphere after entering the planet's atmosphere, and that was for a whole day, until the 26th hour later, the shuttle, covered in various scratched paw prints, reappeared through the billowing clouds.

"Looks dangerous!"

Fang Ning smacked his lips, thinking about whether to send the fleet down directly, the lost escort ship is different from ordinary warships, it takes a little effort to go down, but the magnetic field on this planet is extraordinary, and the escort ship can't be contacted if it goes down, and the risk is a bit big.

Most crucially, Stardust H542 tells him that there seems to be an extremely powerful consciousness on this planet that is repelling them.

It's not to exclude players or NPs, nor to exclude Fang Ning, but to exclude Stardust H542 and Stardust A95, the two servants of light, and a strong hostility has been watching them both, but the Thunderhammer, which also landed with the Lost Army, has not been affected.

In other words, these two servants of light could not go on with each other in this operation, Fang Ning could only rely on the two lost armies and the thunder hammer, as for Li Wan to stay on it for the time being, if she encountered any danger on the planet and needed fleet support, she would support it according to the situation at that time.

When the shuttle was repaired, the second group to land was a full 500 lost troops.

The third time he waited for 4 hours, bringing the news that Thunderhammer had established a temporary outpost below, and Fang Ning was ready to land in person.

He landed not by shuttle, two back and forth, the repaired shuttle was covered with all kinds of scar paw prints, the most powerful one at a time a mark pierced a layer of external armor of the shuttle, this danger is a bit high, Fang Ning decided to sit on the lost escort ship down.

The special shuttle only has an advantage in traveling through the atmosphere of the planet, and it has no resistance in the face of conventional attacks, and it is still a battleship that is more reliable.

The world is big, and his life is the greatest, and for the sake of his own safety, even the loss of an escort ship is nothing.

In the third batch of landings, Fang Ning brought a total of 800 lost armies, plus the previous two batches of 1,500 lost armies landing, and there were still 500 lost armies in the fleet that stayed in the orbit above their landing site.

In addition, he also let Xiao Yezi stay on the space station, in addition to helping to keep an eye on the guild situation, there are major events that can be transmitted through the shuttle, the galaxy magnetic field is isolated, and players will not be able to communicate normally except for going up and down the line.

In addition, she is also needed to help keep an eye on the situation of the mercenaries on the space station, and if necessary, quickly recruit a group of ground troops to land on the planet.

In addition to the mission of the search and rescue research team, Fang Ning's landing on this planet also had the purpose of finding some valuable mineral deposits on this planet and establishing a base.

No matter what you do in the stars, you need money, and the most stable way to get money is naturally the mine.

Finding valuable ore veins and building a mine will have a steady stream of income in the future, which is also an important source of income for many guild legions.

Although New Atranta is a highly toxic planet, it is also a living planet, which contains several rare mineral deposits, such as alien natural gas, rare crystals, etc., and several guilds have found and established mines, and now there are tens of millions of stable income every month, which is simply envious of the dead.

The escort ship followed the shuttle to the last two landing sites, and when the shuttle went down first, the 600-meter-high lost battleship that looked like an angel of light stretched out its glorious shield and pounced head-on into the tumbling poisonous clouds, quickly sinking into it.

The powerful warships of the Lost Empire are very stable in the tumbling poisonous clouds, and the terrifying poisonous cloud atmosphere is blocked by a thick shield, but through the spaceship sensors, you can see the turbulent undercurrent like a tsunami outside, and the atmospheric vortices with a diameter of ten kilometers are tumbling back and forth in the boundless poisonous clouds, and from time to time you can see dark red lightning exploding in the vortex, reflecting large red poisonous clouds.

In it, even lightning contains toxins.

I don't know how long it took, the violent poison cloud in front of me was empty, and the battleship had already passed through the thick atmosphere of the planet and appeared inside the planet.

Looking around through the sensor, a fantastic and extraordinary fantasy world was presented in front of Fang Ning.

From the outside of the planet, it seems that this planet is shrouded by a layer of terrifying poisonous cloud storms that do not disperse all year round, and it seems that even light cannot penetrate it, but when you actually enter the interior of the planet, you do not find that layer of terrifying poisonous cloud storms, looking up at the sky, a slightly purple-red sun hangs high in the air, sprinkling countless purple-red rays of sunlight.

Below is the extremely lush primeval forest, a hundred meters high towering trees stand in the primeval jungle, thick fern vines, huge colorful umbrella mushrooms, colorful spores like flowers fluttering in the air with the wind, the whole earth is embellished with colorful colors, like a fairyland.

"It's beautiful!"

Fang Ning quickly took pictures of everything in front of her and stored it, such a beautiful view, she would definitely like it.

"Bang!"

The shuttle landed in the jungle roughly, splashing a large area of dirt, and a layer of lilac in the air was like a light veil flowing poisonous mist that was washed in all directions by the air waves, and the hazy beauty appeared more clear...... As well as hideous.

The waves of air and violent vibrations lifted the surrounding vegetation, startling countless strange-looking and terrifying insects hiding in the plants.

At this moment, a huge gunfire suddenly rang out on a high ground two kilometers away from the shuttle's landing point, and a huge fireworks exploded at the same time.

The escort ship stopped at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, Fang Ning sat on the command seat in the center of the bridge, and there were more than a dozen huge light curtains hanging in the air around him, showing almost all the angles around him and the ground above his head, allowing him to understand everything around the battleship in real time.

"At five o'clock, the small matter smashing cannon is ready, fire!"

From the unique kinetic energy weapon of the Lost Empire, the terrifying power of a single shot blasted the earth into a huge crater with a depth of more than 20 meters and a diameter of more than 50 meters, and on the spot, a giant beast like a lizard that was more than ten meters long, along with countless strange insects and small fierce beasts around it, and the vegetation where they were hiding were blown to pieces.

Even if it is a small Slot, the naval cannon is a naval gun, and it is still a weapon of the Lost Empire, and its power is an invincible weapon for the ground army.

A series of artillery bombardments, instantly cleared a large area around it, the lost army quickly drilled out of the shuttle to arm, the engineers quickly drove the maintenance machine to start repairing the shuttle, a large number of transported materials were moved, an hour later the shuttle was lifted again, and the support from the temporary base arrived under the escort of the escort ship to move all the materials to the temporary base.

Next, the shuttle will no longer go back and forth as often as before, according to the plan, it will only land once every three days to transport various living materials and construction materials, and they will first stabilize this temporary base, and then divide into two ways, one along the traces left by the scientific research team to search, and the other team will explore around with the temporary base as the center, looking for possible ore veins.

The two missions have not been sequenced, the scientific research team has been missing for so long, according to the danger of this planet, there is a high probability of death, there is no need to search slowly in a hurry, the main task is to find the ore vein.

Of course, the search and rescue scientific research team is the task after all, and it still needs to be done, and he will follow the search and rescue team at the initial stage.

The escort ship flew to the temporary base about 500 meters above the levitation, but he did not go down to the temporary base, but directly put the command headquarters on the battleship, and only occasionally went down to feel the unique style of the planet when he was fully armed, and usually stayed in the safe battleship.

I have to say that the creatures on this planet are indeed fierce, brutal, and hideous, almost every moment there are some strange and unnamed fierce beasts or insects attacking the temporary base, Fang Ning collected all these alien creatures that were killed and injured and stored them in the warehouse, ready to wait for the next wave of shuttles to come and study those science apprentices who were still on the flagship.

Anyway, most of the time they are fine now, it is better to find something to do, that is, to train them to accumulate experience, and at the same time to see if they can research something.

With the level of their apprentices, there is a high probability that there will be no results, but it is difficult to talk about this kind of thing, and many research results appear occasionally in a flash of inspiration, as long as they appear once, they are considered to be very profitable.

Fang Ning was idle and bored, in addition to sitting on the battleship and observing the beautiful scenery every day, he would occasionally wear thick protective clothing and go down to the temporary base to inspect it, or leave the base wall and enter the field for a short distance under the strict protection of many subordinates.

This situation lasted for half a month, and he was bored for half a month, which made him miss Li Wan a little, if she was there, she wouldn't be so boring, although there would be nothing to do, at least there was a big and soft Naiko to touch or do some exercises that were beneficial to the body and mind every day.

On this day, he was really bored, and was about to let Lei Hammer escort him out for a trip, and just put on a thick protective suit, suddenly a subordinate came in and said that an army appeared at the gate of the base outside.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately took off his bulky protective suit, and said:

"How many people are there, and what is the purpose of coming?"

"There are about fifty people, all of them wounded, saying that some of the supplies were lost on the way, and they want to buy some at our base."

"That's it...."

Outside the base, a force of about fifty people stopped about a hundred meters outside the gate of the temporary base, this is an ordinary mechanical attack force, and it is also one of the most conventional armies of mankind, but at this time they are not in good shape, half of the forty or fifty people are wounded, and the only few combat vehicles are seriously damaged, fortunately they also have a mechanical combat platform.
