Chapter 8 The Wind Here Kills

After the crew members were all awake, Steng led them out of the crashed ship.

There was a thin layer of misty fog in the sky outside, Zhao Mumu helped Ge Zi jump down from the broken hole in the cabin, and fell lightly to the ground, with hard ice under her feet, she was still very uncomfortable with the gravity environment here, and almost slipped and fell.

Everyone stopped and looked around, and invariably took a deep breath, including Captain Sten, the crew of the "Hades" was the first time to really set foot on Titan, this is a desolate and cold planet, the whole world is brownish, yellow and gray, the terrain of the Shangri-La Plain is almost undulating, there are only gentle slopes and haze as far as the eye can see, today's weather is good, there is no strong wind and heavy rain, the visibility is very high, Ge Zi can see the glacier fifty meters away.

In Ge Zi's view, this is a bit like the polar regions of the earth, she finally set foot on this planet, which is a distant land more than a billion kilometers away from the earth, when the planet that usually only appears in the video material is actually trampled underfoot, the excitement and curiosity in the girl's heart are actually greater than the anxiety and horror.

Steng secured the supplies with a skid, then pulled them on a rope to the Iron Float, and everyone dragged a small skid, strapped to food, fresh water, oxygen, and medicine, and pulled them wherever they went.

"Note that the gravity of this place is only one-tenth of that of the earth, so be careful." Stong reminded the others, looking very solemn, "If you don't want to fly out, just follow me......"

Shi Teng took the first step, his back suddenly fell down, and the person was gone.

The crew probed their brains and saw Steng sliding down the slope, and they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Steng sliding farther and farther all the way.

Xin said that he was worthy of being a captain, in the end, he was experienced, and he could also drag race on this broken road, Ge Zi also shouted at him: "Brother Shi, slow down!" We can't keep up! โ€

Until Stern's frightened voice came back: "Help-life-ahโ€”โ€”! โ€

Every ten meters, Shi Teng inserted a metal road sign on the ground, the road sign flashed red in the fog, and it could be seen from a long distance, all the way from the spaceship, Shi Teng had inserted ten, which means that they had walked more than 100 meters, a group of six people lined up in a column, and held each other with cables to prevent them from getting separated, Shi Teng was in the lead, followed by Dai Yue, and then Zhuo Zhi, Ge Zi and Mu Mu, Liu Peijia was at the end of the team and was responsible for pressing the formation.

"Old Shi, how far are we from that Cassini station?" Liu Peijia turned his head and glanced at it, the safety rope extended into the mist, and a black silhouette could be faintly seen on the spaceship.

"I don't know." Sten said, pausing for a moment to rest and looking up, "But we're in the right direction, and we'll be able to walk in this direction to Cassini Station." โ€

No one knows how far the spacecraft's crash site is from Cassini Station, the "Hades" has been completely out of control at the end of its entry into the atmosphere, all the navigation systems have been scrapped after the crash, and the crew members cannot confirm their position.

Ge Zi grabbed the safety rope in her hand and followed behind Zhuozhi step by step, she didn't have to care about anything, just follow others.

"If you go on like this, I'm afraid the rope won't be long enough." Liu Peijia said, "Old history, old history? Are you sure it's going to be the point? โ€

"Sure." Stong nodded.

"Brother Shi, you are so sure, what is the exact basis?" Dai Yue asked, "We don't even know where we are." โ€

"Intuition." Stong replied.

"Your instincts are a fart!" Liu Peijia scolded.

"Then you're going to lead the team?"

Ge Zi raised his head and looked at the brownish-yellow sky overhead, a world shrouded in thick fog, and even if the weather was clear, the mist that filled the air still lingered.

"Titan is a windy planet." Zhuo Zhi said, "The wind speed on the surface is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the earth, it is very ferocious and dangerous, we have to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, it must be a strong enough place to shelter from the wind, otherwise if the wind blows later, we will ...... in this unsheltered place."

"What will happen?" Zhao Mumu asked.

Wisdom pondered for a moment, not knowing what words to choose to describe the situation they were facing.

"Will die." Stong was very direct, "You don't think our survival window is really long, do you?" We can't live without Cassini Station...... We only have a few hours, and if we find Cassini Station within that time, everyone will survive, and if we can't, we will be torn apart by the storm. โ€

Wisdom nodded: "The wind here can kill, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is a hell." โ€

Zhao Mumu was quite surprised, the Titan at this moment looked calm, not to mention the strong wind, not even the air flowed, so quiet that there was no sound at all, it was difficult for her to connect this quiet world with the hell on earth in the mouths of the two, but listening to the tone of Steng and Zhizhi, they were by no means alarmist, Zhao Mumu had never landed on Titan, and he knew almost nothing about the climate here.

Ge Zi still looked up at the sky, in the dim sky, there was a faint white light moving in the clouds, I don't know what it was, it looked as if it was a huge whale swimming and rolling in the air, revealing its white belly from the clouds.

"Xiao Zi, what are you looking at?" Zhao Mumu asked.

"Mu Mu, look at the top of your head, is that a cloud?" Ge Zi stretched out his hand and pointed upward.

Zhao Mumu raised his head and squinted his eyes.

"Hmm...... Probably, right? I don't have as good eyes as you do, I can't see anything. Mu Mu blinked, "Do you see anything?" โ€

"Big, big, big stuff." Ge Zi replied that she had used three big ones in a row, "Right above our heads." โ€

When the rest of the people heard Ge Zi's words, they also raised their heads curiously.

"It's mostly clouds." "The temperature in the upper atmosphere can be as low as minus 190 degrees Celsius, and at this very low temperature, ice crystals will grow rapidly and then condense into large frozen clouds, which you should see blown by the wind. โ€

"It also changes direction." Ge Zi said again.

"The wind has changed." "Ninety-nine percent of the frozen clouds are air, so they are very lightweight, and they can form very, very large areas under certain conditions. โ€

"It's not going to collapse, is it?" Zhao Mumu was a little worried.

"Yes." Zhuozhi nodded, "But it's extremely lightweight, and the structure is very fragile, and if it collapses, it's just snow." โ€

Ge Zi nodded, she noticed that there were fine ice crystals falling from the sky, falling on the mask and the Iron Floating Tu, and it might really be clouds.

Stearn, who was only walking with his head down, suddenly stopped, an old metal pole stood in front of him, the red paint on it was mottled and frosted, it could be seen that it had been very old, this was the first man-made object that Stten had encountered on this planet that did not belong to him - this was a sign left by a man twenty years ago, a blue safety rope was tied to the pole at one end, and the other end extended forward into the fog.

A relieved smile appeared on Sten's face, like a lonely traveler in the desert, finally seeing the road.

"Comrades, we have arrived."

Everyone turned their heads to look forward together, they saw the calibration rod and the safety rope, and their eyes continued to move forward along the safety rope, only to see a huge black shadow sitting majestically in the haze not far away.

The legendary Cassini station!
