Chapter 0203 - Landing on a Planet (2)
When the YS001 heavy armored transport ship successfully and smoothly entered the atmosphere of Planet JNO.3 under the automatic navigation system, and reached an altitude of more than 10,000 meters from the landing site, Captain Planck finally drank his metal bottle of vodka and switched to manual mode again.
Now, he was getting impatient, ready to get close to the ground and let the Marines in the cabin land early.
"Ready? Marines cubs? We're about to land on the ground, so you're going to have to hold on! ”
Captain Planck of the armored transport ship was very disgusted that this mode of automatic navigation hovering down altitude was too much of a waste of time, and he was already a little impatient.
Therefore, when he switched to the manual mode, he turned off the mode of hovering and slowly reducing the altitude during the automatic cruise, and directly pressed the control stick hard, so that the armored transport ship began to dive down at a high speed at an angle of almost 90 degrees to the ground.
"We've been prepared for a long time, but, Captain Planck, could you please drive the boat a little more smoothly? You slowly land on the ground and open the hatch and you're good to go! ”
Fortunately, Galen was quick to catch the handrail of the bulkhead of the transport ship just now, so that he didn't let this drunk bastard fall into the corner.
But even so, at this time, under the accelerated dive of the armored transport spacecraft, he also had a sense of weightlessness.
He swore that when he returned to the Hope after a hundred days, he would complain about the drunken captain!
If they had a choice, Galen and the others would never want to take this transport ship driven by this bastard captain again, because it was like playing with their lives at any time, and it was too much of a test of their hearts!
"Haha! Landing on the ground? No, no, no! I think you must have gotten something wrong? I'm not going to land on this damn planet! I'll fly over from a height of about thirty or fifty meters above the ground, and then, at the same time, open the hatch, and then you people will be able to jump on your own! ”
Captain Planck continued to dive, grinning wickedly in the channel.
Because, when he looked at the ground through the Xuan window in front of the transport, somehow, he always felt a palpitation-like feeling?
It's a unique, exclusive instinct that belongs to an old driver!
In the past, when he was still engaged in smuggling, he had relied on this intuition to avoid all kinds of dangers in many universes.
Years of smuggling career told Planck, the following JNO.3 planet, it is certainly not simple, even ...... Still seems dangerous?
Every time he stared intently at the approaching ground below, it was as if he ...... Hiding on the planet below is a terrifying cosmic beast?
So, he's never going to land on the ground easily!
Because of this, now he only plans to sweep over the ground at high speed, so that those Marine boys can jump through the open hatch by themselves, so that it must be okay, right?
Planck...... It's not a combat state now, and it's not a war zone below, are you going to toss us like this?! ”
Captain Galen is a little angry, this Captain Planck, his approach is a bit excessive, right?
Although the CMC-300/400 armored power combat suit of their Marine Corps allows forcible jump landing at a height of more than 100 meters, the armored power suit is designed with perfect shock absorption and emergency speed reduction functions.
However, if you are really forced to jump directly later, where is the comfort of landing on the ground and slowly running out of the cabin?
Besides, there are no enemies on the ground below, and there is no anti-aircraft artillery that can shoot down the transport, so Galen thinks: Captain Planck, this old bastard, he just deliberately spoofed them! This drunken bastard, he just wants to save trouble!
Just like when he entered the planet's atmosphere just now, if Captain Leona hadn't been able to look at it and speak, this bad guy would have forced himself to the landing site, right? He's not afraid to burn the armor plates of this transport ship?
"No more nonsense! Now, you're ready to reach your predetermined height! Not far ahead, is your predetermined landing site, I will sweep over from a height of about 50 meters above the ground, and then, you only have about 20 seconds to jump and land, and you will not wait! ”
After squinting his eyes in the channel, Captain Planck let out a mouth full of wine and grasped the ship's joystick firmly with both hands.
When the spacecraft was swooping close to the ground at an altitude of almost fifty meters, and when the red impact warning light on the console kept flashing alarms, he suddenly pulled the joystick, causing the spacecraft to fly parallel to the ground at an altitude of thirty or fifty meters above the ground.
He didn't even care about Captain Galen's feeble protest just now!
Now, I'm afraid that the only one who can control him is Captain Leona of the Hope, right? How could a small captain of the Marine Corps influence his behavior as a captain?
"Okay, now that you've arrived at the scheduled location and the hatch has opened, you're running out of time, so get ready to jump! Marines, have fun on this planet! ”
After opening the hatch, Planck pulled out a small wine bottle from nowhere, and then, without looking at the Marines in the cabin, he just unscrewed the cap and drank it.
Now the height of the spacecraft from the ground is only more than thirty meters, and it is less than fifty meters? They only have twenty seconds, and when the time comes, if he doesn't jump, he'll have to gain height!
Moreover, Planck is not afraid of the other party to complain about himself!
Because, according to the landing manual, when the transport ship skimmed the landing site at a low altitude, the marines themselves jumped to land, which was in accordance with wartime regulations.
If there was a war going on below, he could even fly directly from a height of about a hundred meters? And now, it's only about 30 meters high, and he is already merciful, he loves to jump or not, and he doesn't pick and pull down!
"Ouch, my mother! Captain, why do you look so tall? Or...... Captain Galen, can you show us a demonstration first? ”
Although they even conducted similar forced landing operations from an extreme altitude of more than 100 meters during simulated training, the armored power combat suits they wore were also designed with the landing operations in this situation in mind, and they also had the function of perfect shock-proof and shock-absorbing landing, and they were no strangers to this.
But...... Now the situation is different, this is not a simulation, this is a real battle......
After all, this is not the kind of exercise that is not afraid of casualties in simulated training, and if you accidentally hit your head on the ground when you jump, it will be a big accident!
"Alright, stop being verbose, let's jump! Planck, that bastard, he only gave us twenty seconds, and if you don't jump, he'll be up in height in a minute, and you'll be bungee jumping over 100 meters! ”
Galen had just finished speaking, before he could take the lead or urge the team to jump down.
A petite figure wearing red and white tight-fitting power armor took the lead in squeezing through the crowd, jumping directly from the wide-open door of the transport ship, and jumping to the ground vigorously.
"Wow~! Well done! What a beautiful jump, I love this little girl named Annie! ”
When I saw that the Marines were still grinding by the hatch, the little alien girl named Annie was the first to jump down? Captain Led Planck whistled loudly, and at the same time he was praising it.
"Are you Marines all a bunch of shit? What are you rubbing?! Are you really not as good as a little girl? I'll see, you guys now, you have the last ten seconds! ”
After praising little Anne, Captain Planck snarled at the Marines who were still hesitant with a dark face.
These bastards have really disgraced the face of the human beings on Earth!
Are they not even as good as an alien little girl? Now at this height, you won't die if you jump! Are they still afraid of an egg?
"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, hop on and log in now! ”
Galen also felt a little blushing, so he hurriedly stepped forward and urged his subordinates to push and push.
After seeing that someone took the lead and jumped first, the other marines, under the urging of their captain, ran a few steps quickly, rushed directly out of the hatch of the transport ship, and jumped directly into the hard ground of the planet.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ……
After eleven consecutive sounds of heavy armor landing and the smoke and dust of the Eleventh Regiment being smashed, Captain Galen and his Cobra team, as well as Little Annie, a ghost agent of foreign aid, represented the Hope of humanity, landed for the first time and came into contact with this strange planet that still seemed a little strange to them humans.
Everywhere you look, there is nothing else, no other color, let alone the smell of other plants, animals, and life, except for the yellow-brown sky and the rocky ground of almost the same color.
Except for the dust that the eleven of them had just stirred up when they landed, all that was left was the strange wind that was still blowing on the planet......
"Attention all Marines! According to the original arrangement, each went to his predetermined location to reconnoiter and guard! If you find anything abnormal, report it as soon as possible! Hurry up, the action is a little sharper! This is not a drill, repeat! This is definitely not a drill! ”
With a click, Galen gave orders to the team in the channel and reloaded his electromagnetic rifle fiercely.
After confirming once again that the 8mm spike electromagnetic rifle in his hand was in good condition, he immediately followed the instructions on the electronic hologram on the panel and quickly walked to the predetermined location that had been arranged on the Hope.
Call! Call!
While gasping quietly, Galen ran quickly, and the metal footrest of his huge and heavy armored power suit, after stepping on the gravel, left huge footprints on this planet that belonged to the humans of the earth.
"Everyone, hurry up, keep an eye on your surroundings, and keep an eye on your radar at the same time!"
Galen reminded the team as he ran, continuing to fulfill his duties as captain.
This was the first time that their Cobra team had landed on an alien planet on a combat mission, and although he didn't think there could be any enemies here, he still issued various orders according to the original mission arrangement.
Because, after they had finished scouting and making sure that the surroundings were safe, the large and expensive command center would break away from the Hope and slowly descend.
Galen soon climbed to the top of a small hill to which he had been assigned, which was his reconnaissance and warning point.
In the distance to his left was a vast sea of strong acid that could not be seen at a glance, while to his right, there was a large plain of strange rocks that seemed to have been eroded for a long time, with obvious traces of potholes?
……
Seeing these scenes in front of him, Galenzi shook his head secretly in his heart, and sure enough, this is really a planet with a harsh environment that is not suitable for human habitation and survival.
If it weren't for the abundance of high-energy crystals and gas that the Hope desperately needed, Captain Leona wouldn't have insisted on landing on this planet, right?
"Everyone, report what you have seen, remember to turn on your body video camera, and upload the image to Hope in time."
After carefully observing his position for more than ten minutes, Galen quickly completed his preliminary reconnaissance mission.
In his position, there is no anomaly at the moment, whether it is his naked eye observation or the personal radar that comes with the armored powerhouse, everything shows that everything is normal.
"Report to the captain! No. 02 is fine here! ”
"Report to the captain! No. 03 is also working fine here! ”
"No. 04 is normal here!"
……
"Hello? Annie? How are you there? Are there any special findings? ”
After all the members of his team had reported to him, Galen began to inquire about the ghost agent Little Annie, who was hidden at the highest point.
Although this supernumerary ghost agent is not actually under the control of him, the captain of the Marine Corps, he still needs to ask, after all, the other party's position is the highest, and the equipment of the ghost agent suit is also the most advanced.
"It's not fun at all...... I only saw the stones and the sea...... Hey? Just now, is that a fish? ”
Little Anne complained for a while, then suddenly exclaimed.
She just relied on her sharp eyes, on the edge of the sea in the distance, at the line at sea level, as if she had seen something suddenly rise to the surface?
And then, it quickly sank again?
When she picked up the sniper rifle in her hand, ready to calculate the distance and take a look, the other party quickly disappeared completely on the sea?
"Fish? What fish? Is there really a situation here?! Have you just turned on your video recording device? ”
As soon as little Anne suddenly said such unexpected words, Galen immediately became nervous.
Isn't this planet detected and no life has been found?
Moreover, how can there be fish in a sea of strong acid? Even if they are marines wearing armored power combat uniforms, if they dare to run into the seawater, it is estimated that it will not take more than ten minutes, and those terrible strong acid seas can corrode the armor and the crew inside, right?
"Just now, far, far away, I seemed to see a fish...... With a video device, it doesn't seem to be able to see that far, right? ”
Little Anne was sure that she had just seen something like a big fish in the distance, on the edge of the sea.
It's just that it only popped up and disappeared quickly.
Anne felt that she must not be wrong just now! You know, she herself relies on her own strong strength, whether it is magic or her physical qualities in all aspects, but it is very good!
Even if she didn't use the Eagle Eye Technique, as long as she was willing to put her heart into it, she could see far, far away with her keen perception or eyes.
"Okay...... Hope, this is Galen, the leader of the Cobra team, we have successfully arrived at the landing site, and after preliminary investigation, there is nothing unusual around the landing site! Now the command center can carry out airborne landings. ”
After hearing little Annie's answer, Galen shook his head a little crying and laughing.
Since it was a place that could not be seen by video equipment, how could she see it with the naked eye? No kidding, it must have been her delusion!
Therefore, Galen decided to ignore Little Annie's words, disarm the alert, and at the same time sent a safe reply to the Hope in orbit, signaling that the huge colonial command center could now officially break away from the Hope and land.
"The Hope has been received, the command center has begun to officially disengage, and it is expected to arrive at the designated location in thirty minutes, please be prepared and maintain the necessary vigilance."
Soon, a reply from the Hope navigator came from the communication equipment.
She also informed Captain Galen that the Colonial Command Center had now officially begun to break away from the Hope and was slowly entering the planet's atmosphere.
From now on, the landing and collection of the human beings on the JNO.3 planet can finally be said to have officially begun.
"Yes! Galen received! Rest assured, we will continue to maintain a high level of vigilance and will ensure the safety of the command center! ”
After saying that, Galen began to pace to a relatively empty and flat height, holding his own electromagnetic rifle, putting away the mask armor plate, and only through the glass mask of the armored power combat suit, he was alert and observed everything around him.
The ten members of their Cobra squad have now formed an encirclement around the commanding heights that will command the planned landing point of the command center, and the dense firepower can ensure the safety of the landing colony command center at any time.
"Galen hunk...... I really didn't lie to you, just now, I really saw a ...... of a fish"
Still using the scope of her sniper rifle, little Anne began to patrol the sea where she had found the anomaly, hoping to discover what she had just seen again.
She swears, it's definitely a strange fish? It definitely won't be her dazzle!
Moreover, her little bear Tiebs had just felt the presence of that monster, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that.
"All right, little Annie...... We are on an important military mission right now, and this is not a good time to joke. ”
Galen sighed and turned his head to look in the direction of the ocean, where would there be any strange fish?
Everything works fine here!
Except for the sea breeze, even those surging acidic waves, everything is normal, how can there be fish alive here? No kidding!
If you really throw a fish into it, even if it's a huge whale, it only takes a few minutes, and it is estimated that there will not be much bone residue left?
"Annie, you must know that it is impossible for any creature to survive in this sea of strong acid, so don't come and make trouble!"
After a final private conversation with Anne, Galen switched to the team's public channel.
He also needs to exchange information with his teammates about what they have discovered, as well as assign the rest of the command center to stand guard after they land.
"Humph! Why can't there be living things in the ocean with strong acid? What's so strange about that? In my land of flames, there are still fire creatures living in the hot lava pools! You wait for me, and when I see it, I'll catch a fish to show you!" ”
After hearing Galen's big reply, Anne snorted coldly and began to mumble dissatisfiedly.
It's a pity that Captain Galen, who has switched channels, won't care about her playful thoughts anymore.
In Galen's opinion, in a sea of strong acid, there will never be any living creatures! Not to mention the lava pools she was talking about, and the fire creatures? How could there be such a creature? Inexistent!
Therefore, after complaining, little Anne could only continue to search the sea near and far above her highest point, trying to continue to look for the strange fish she had just seen.
……
Time passed quickly, and while Captain Galen was still arranging for his Marines to decide the time and location of their respective stand-offs, while little Anne was still persistently searching the sea, a rumbling sound began to be heard in the sky.
The Hope's human colony command center finally arrived on time.
When the Marines on their ground looked up at the sky: a huge steel fortress began to break through the clouds created by the previous friction with the planet's atmosphere, and slowly appeared in the field of vision of everyone on their ground from the flaming clouds.
It was their colonial command center, and now, it had finally broken through the planet's thick atmosphere and was ready to land on top of the intended landing site.
"Captain Galen, what's going on down there at the landing ground now? Did you notice anything out of the ordinary? ”
Suddenly, in Galen's communication interface, there was a hologram of First Officer Doug.
Oh no, it should be the question and image of the current Colony Command Center Ground Commander, now Doug, she has turned on the video call and asked the captain of the landing team in person to make final preparations for the upcoming landing.
Now, the height of their command center from the ground is less than 10,000 meters, and as long as Captain Galen is sure that everything is in order below, she will order to descend directly.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander Doug! Now the situation on the ground is normal, the weather is good, nothing unusual has been noticed for the time being, you can come down now. ”
After turning around once more to look around at the sea in the distance, and at the rocky plains, Galen gave his final answer with certainty.
Now here, everything works fine!
This is Galen's conclusion after analyzing and summarizing the feedback from the previous Marines: On the ground of this planet, no anomalies have been found for the time being!
Except, of course, the irresponsible gibberish of the alien girl Annie!
"Okay, keep on guard, we're coming down soon."
With that, Commander Doug nodded in satisfaction, and then she quickly turned off the holographic video communication between the two sides.
Eventually, the huge fortress-like pie-shaped metal fortress began to slowly rise from the high school, and its engine spewed out a huge stream of particles, slowly adjusting its direction, and gradually began to descend.
"Oh, what a big discus......"
Looking at the huge steel command center that was gradually descending, little Anne couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This is really a big guy, that size, almost half the size of her palace in the City of Flames, right?
Little Anne thinks that the human beings in this world, they are really amazing! Although they don't seem to have magic or powerful martial arts, they use their wisdom and technology to do these amazing things!
Boom Boom Boom ......
Soon, not long after little Anne sighed, the command center finally landed.
Then, after a loud and piercing roar, as the smoke and dust around the tall and large discus discuss cleared, she saw that the four pillars of the command center, which were as large as the arms of an octopus, had begun to take firm root on the earth.
When it opened the huge hatch and walked out of several T-280 SCV space engineering vehicles at a time, the humans of Hope finally announced the official start of the colonization and production of the planet they named JNO.3.
