Chapter 201: Planet Melanie
Three months have passed, and nothing major has happened, except for the discovery of an unknown planet close to Neptune last month.
In the TPC operations command room, Director Fukami presented the camera data to Asuka and others for viewing.
"This image was taken by the monitoring satellite NEXT on Neptune."
"Could it be that this forest is from Neptune?"
"Of course not."
Director Fukami glanced back at Mai Midorikawa and continued.
"The radio waves transmitted back from NEXT can be used to estimate its distance and current location."
Looking at the marked sphere, the Nakajima team patted his head, as if he remembered something.
"Isn't this the Mylani star that was discovered last month?"
"That's right."
Director Fukami continued.
"A month ago, NEXT spotted Mylani near Neptune's orbit and took images of it."
"Could it be that this is an image taken over the planet Melanie?"
"How is that possible?"
The Nakajima team members hugged their chests and kept vetoing good words.
"An asteroid that is always moving cannot have such a natural environment!"
"Alright."
Captain Kibi raised his hand to interrupt Nakajima's desire to popularize science, and looked at Director Fukami.
"I see, at this time, we need to be dispatched."
"Please."
Director Fukami looked at Captain Hibi, and his tone was full of seriousness,
"This asteroid may be of great value to humanity. But, on the other hand, there may be danger there, so be careful! ”
"Yes!"
All the personnel, except for Mai Midorikawa and Captain Kibi, stepped on the Victory Condor.
"Neomax Power System, activate!"
The Victory Condor had just burst out of the Earth's atmosphere, and as if it had entered a short circuit, it continued to approach Melanie at an indescribable speed.
"That'...... Is it Melanie? ”
The members of the Hunting Arrow team looked at the blue and white planet, and they were a little incredulous.
Nakajima's team members quickly compared the size of the moon and slowly spoke.
"It's about a third the size of the moon. But it's strange that an asteroid can't have such a perfect natural environment. ”
"I think so too."
Team member Koda turned his head and gave Team Nakajima a blank look.
"But Nakajima, there are many unsolved mysteries in the universe, and even if there are unbelievable things, we have to face it first, don't we?"
"Didi ......"
"We're going to be in orbit with Melanie soon."
"Ahh
Asuka's exclamation was suddenly heard.
"What's wrong Asuka?"
"It's okay, it's just too much of a surprise!"
"I think so too."
Looking at the forest, which is no different from the earth's environment, the Koda team members sighed.
At this time, in the Alpha fighter, Asuka looked at Leng Mu who was patting him on the shoulder in the back seat in horror, and lowered his voice.
"How are you like a ghost, you want to scare people to death! Also, aren't you afraid that my teammates will see you when you appear like this? ”
"Don't worry, only you can see me. Only you can hear me. ”
Leng Mu patted Asuka on the shoulder, and in a flash, his figure appeared on the ground where the fighter plane of the Victory Condor had landed.
Looking at his teammates' blank looks, Asuka didn't bother too much, and quickly got off the fighter.
"Captain, we've landed safely on Melanie."
"Okay, let's start investigating, be sure to concentrate!"
"Yes!"
Leng Mu looked at the bird with an oxygen cylinder next to him and smiled.
"The composition of the atmosphere here is no different from that of the earth, even the gravitational environment is the same."
Listening to Leng Mu's words, Asuka was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to take off his helmet.
"Hey, Asuka!"
Nakajima and the others watched Asuka's movements and hurriedly tried to stop Asuka.
But he didn't want the bird to take off his helmet, and then bared his teeth and smiled at them.
"It's totally fine, eh, the air is so fresh."
The three Nakajima looked at each other, and two of them looked at Nakajima with suspicion.
"This, although there is no problem with this data, but ...... Feed! ”
Before Nakajima's words were finished, Ryowa Kaya's team members took off their helmets one after another.
"Really, it's so fresh......"
The Kaya team member took the helmet and took a deep breath and sighed.
"It's the scent of the tree."
Liang tasted it with his eyes closed, then opened his eyes and said.
"There is no problem with this data...... But ......"
Before the Nakajima team member finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the Koda team.
"Okay, let's split into two teams and start investigating."
Asuka and Nakajima split into a team and began to shuttle through the forest.
Listening to the bird chirping in his ears, the Nakajima team member frowned.
"It stands to reason that it is impossible, the asteroids shuttling through the universe not only have a perfect natural environment, but also have living organisms."
"Nakajima, the universe is very big, and there must be a lot of things that subvert common sense."
"That's true, but I don't think you have any common sense."
"Nakajima, you're running out of oxygen, take off your helmet."
"No, it's not! Wait for me! ”
Team member Nakajima was in a hurry behind Asuka and finally took off his helmet.
According to the current first impression of Asuka and others, Mylani Star is like a paradise planet.
But does paradise really exist?
Suddenly, a wave of interference was emitted from inside Melanie, cutting off all of everyone's communications.
"Team Koda! Koda players! ”
Asuka looked at the unresponsive communicator and patted it suspiciously.
"Don't try."
Cold wood patted Asuka on the shoulder.
"Someone is emitting interference waves and wants to keep us here."
"Huh!"
A figure passed by, and Asuka looked at Leng Mu suspiciously.
"What was that just now?"
"I don't know, but catching up with it should reveal the face of Melanie."
Leng Mu said, taking steps to keep up with the creature's trajectory.
Asuka also put away the communicator and kept up with Leng Ki's pace.
The Nakajima team members looked at Asuka's figure, and in a panic lifted their suitcases and followed Asuka.
"Asuka, don't mess around! Wait a minute, hey, you're really going to get there! ”
Leng Mu and the others were led to a place by the creature, looking at the pieces on the ground, and the birds slowly picked them up.
"It looks like the wreckage of something destroyed."
Leng Mu took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the creature.
"Keep up!"
Asuka smiled, and immediately followed Leng Ki, looking back at the Nakajima team.
"Let's go! Check it out! ”
"Hey, Asuka! It's dangerous! ”
"It's a cave!"
Asuka followed Leng Mu, looked at the hole under his feet, and slowly squatted down.
"It must have been hiding inside!"
"Asuka, be careful, there is some aura in here, and it is easy to cause danger to you."
Leng Mu raised his hand to hold the bird and gave a warning.
