Volume 1 Interstellar Vastness Chapter 53 Landing on Toqueta
The huge Tokta planet exudes a dark brown light, and the dark and light lines make the entire Tokta planet full of mystery and beauty.
A tractor quickly headed towards the planet Tokta, and in front of the huge planet Tokta, the tractor looked like an inconspicuous little black dot.
"The speed is too fast, it is not recommended to enter the atmosphere," Wang Mumu was engrossed in holding the joystick and reminded everyone, "Should we use the thruster to slow down?" β
"No," Li Ziming shook his head after taking a sip of rum, "I want to use the aerodynamic power of the tractor to save fuel"
Everyone here understood what Li Ziming meant, without the support of the South Gate ship, it means that the fuel of the tractor will no longer be supplied, and in an unfamiliar environment, the fuel reserve of the tractor determines their chances of survival.
"Air brakes?" Blake frowned, apparently he didn't understand what that meant.
Blake looked at Fang Mobei, Gu Yiyi and the others beside him, and saw them sitting silently on their seats and fastening their seat belts.
"Everyone wants to go down quickly, right?" Li Ziming said lightly.
"But we want to go down intact," Fang Mobei said in a deep voice.
"Sit tight" After Li Ziming drank all the rum in the cup, the cup automatically adsorbed on the console next to him and did not move.
Blake felt the fuselage of the tractor shaking more and more, he sat back in the chair in horror and fastened his seat belt, staring at Li Ziming with his eyes, "Is drunk driving really reliable......
"Get ready, everybody"
βNoNoNoοΌβ
As soon as Li Ziming's words fell, before Blake could fully build his mind, the tractor plunged into the atmosphere of the planet Tokta like a meteorite, and the tractor shook violently with a layer of crimson heat.
"I suggest slow down," Wood's cheeks were already flushed from the heat, and he looked at the reddened ionized glass in front of him.
"Don't operate without permission, I've only crashed once in my life, just because of the wrong time to slow down," Li Ziming said loudly, "Sometimes being too cautious will be the same as reckless driving, leaving you with no place to die."
"Li Ziming, it's too fast!" Blake stared ahead with wide eyes and shouted, but at this time, Fang Mobei and Gu Yiyi were staring at the front with a calm face, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with them.
"He's measured," Fang Mobei said after glancing at Blake.
At this time, the data overload alarm sounded in the tractor, which made Blake, who was already afraid of this experience, even more frightened.
"Do you need me to turn off the feed?" Wood reminded him that he had two hundred percent trust in Brother Ming.
"No, I need to feel the airflow and the situation of various data," Li Ziming still said calmly.
As the tractor continued to fly, the crimson heat on the ionic glass gradually faded, and the speed of the tractor was also reduced by the resistance of the atmosphere, but the shaking of the body was more violent.
"It's almost there," Li Ziming said.
Immediately, the clouds and fog in front of the tractor gradually dispersed, and the reddish-brown mountains and ravines in the distance came into view.
"It's all rocks, and there's no water," Wood said.
"There are still 1,600 meters"
"Did you locate the beacon?" Fang Mobei asked.
"Located Beacon"
"Can you do it manually?"
"I've got to find a way to slow down!" As he spoke, Li Ziming successively pressed some buttons on the console next to him, "I'm ready to spiral down to the ground, everyone sit firmly"
As soon as the words fell, before everyone could react, the entire tractor fell to the ground in a high-speed rotation attitude, and the bodies of everyone in the cabin shifted to the right under the huge rotational speed, and their hands firmly grasped the armrests at the bottom of the seats.
"There are still eight hundred meters left," Wood reminded.
"Wood, get ready, get ready" The great inertia pressed Li Ziming and Mu's bodies, and they still struggled to wake up under the inertia brought by such a large speed.
"Six hundred meters left"
Looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts had already risen to their throats, even a physical practitioner like Fang Mobei could hardly protect himself in such a high-speed impact on the ground.
"Ignition!" Li Ziming shouted loudly.
Just after Li Ziming slapped the ignition button, a powerful propulsion force erupted from the bottom of the tractor, and the uncontrolled bodies of everyone in the cabin leaned forward suddenly.
The rocks and soil under the tractor formed a strong air flow in front of its huge propulsion force and swept a radius of hundreds of meters, and in an instant, a thick layer of sand and dust was stirred up between the flying sand and rocks around the tractor, and the tractor with a good attitude landed smoothly on the ground.
Everyone in the cabin had a kind of comfort like the aftermath of the catastrophe, only Blake squinted at Li Ziming and glanced at him "very elegant"
"No, it's just very efficient," Li Ziming said with a smile.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up" Fang Mobei quickly unbuckled his seat belt after the tow plane landed, and walked towards the rear hatch.
"Remember to send us the air and environmental data," Gu Yiyi dropped a sentence, and then led everyone to follow Fang Mobei towards the ballast relief chamber in the rear.
Fang Mobei walked on the hard sand and gravel, looking at the endless brown-red mountains and ravines in the distance, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible.
"It's here" Gu Yiyi looked at the position of the beacon in the helmet, and stepped forward to Fang Mobei and said, "It's about 600 meters away from the beacon, it seems to be at the mountain col."
Fang Mobei's team, which had determined the target, galloped across the wilderness, and since the gravitational pull here was only 70% of that of the earth, their speed of action was greatly increased.
"I'm still a little unaccustomed to gravity," Blake sighed.
"That dog just now had a lot of fun eating," Qi Jingyu teased.
Although the straight-line distance was six hundred meters, since they were located on the other side of this hill, they needed to travel more than a thousand meters to reach the beacon point, but even if it was a distance of more than a thousand meters, in front of a physical sorcerer like Fang Mobei and the others, it was the kung fu of a cup of tea.
"The air data and temperature data here have been sent to you," Li Ziming said to Fang Mobei and others through the communicator, "The oxygen content is 28%~30%, and the rest is nitrogen, but it is not recommended that you take off the spacesuit"
"It's strange that there is no vegetation under such a sufficient amount of oxygen," Gu Yiyi frowned, "There may be some factor here that inhibits the growth of vegetation."
"You can't take more detailed samples with the simple equipment on the tow truck," Li Ziming said, observing the data displayed on the side screen.
"We need to conduct a comprehensive terrain reconnaissance of Tokta as soon as possible," Fang Mobei said in the communication channel, "The tow plane needs to be hidden as soon as possible."
"It's just ahead," Gu Yiyi said, pointing to a huge container in front of her.
Following Gu Yiyi's words, Fang Mobei and the others soon saw the specific metal box located in the direction of their ten o'clock, the box was brownish-red, and one-third of the box had been buried by sand.
Just as Fang Mobei and the others were gradually approaching, three mechanical soldiers appeared behind the box and faced everyone with guns, and the two mechanical sappers behind them were using simple sapper shovels to shovel up sand and cover the box.
After seeing that it was Fang Mobei and the others, the mechanical soldiers put away their weapons and saluted everyone.
Fang Mobei stood on the container and looked at the endless wasteland around him, and fell into deep thought.
"I always feel that something is wrong," Gu Yiyi watched Blake and the others checking the supplies in the container.
The most important of the containers was none other than what they had found in the wreckage of the Zeus: ten GT-1 mechs.
"It's just the calm before the storm," Fang Mobei said in a deep voice, "Wait, what should come will come"
Gu Yiyi looked at the data in his hand and said, "There are no stars around this lonely planet, and it is impossible to make this place so bright with the faint light emitted by a star in the South Gate Two Galaxy."
The interstellar space where the Tokta Star is located is in the middle of the solar system and the South Gate Two Galaxy, no matter where the light comes from, it is very weak, but the Tokta Star that Fang Mobei and the others saw from the universe is a bright planet, at that time, they were attracted by the wreckage of Zeus and the Titan and did not find this phenomenon, now I think about it is too incredible.
"Tokta Star is a very strange planet, we can't look at it with common sense" Fang Mobei retracted his gaze from afar and looked at Blake and the others who were setting up camp in the recess of the mountain and the mechanical sappers, "Mina, analyze the sand and gravel here, the place that can give birth to such creatures as Titans must be extremely special."
"Roger, I'll take a sample right away"
"Jing Yu, put a probe, I want a topographic map here, the more detailed the better," Fang Mobei beckoned to Qi Jingyu.
After Gu Yiyi looked at Mina and Qi Jingyu, who were acting immediately, the other party Mobei said, "I'll go do a rectangular cordon," and walked towards the container as she spoke.
"Pay attention to safety," Fang Mobei said as he looked at Gu Yiyi's back.
The temporary camp has been completed under the construction of Blake and others, the camp is based on containers, and there are three cabins in the front and back, the cabins at the two ends are depressurized cabins, and the middle cabins are rest areas, and ten GT-1 sex mechs are arranged among them.
In the rest cabin, Fang Mobei looked at the air data in front of him, the ammonia content in the air had far exceeded the safe value, and once a person was exposed to the air, there would be a risk of ammonia poisoning.
The terrain data transmitted back by Qi Jingyu has gradually formed under the projection of Saihu, Gu Yiyi is driving a mountain bike in the wilderness, and a monitoring beacon has been inserted within a radius of 5 kilometers, and the surrounding pictures have been transmitted to the display screen on Fang Mobei's side one after another.
"There are still 8 places, I'm ready to come back after inserting the beacon" Gu Yiyi's voice sounded in Fang Mobei's headset.
"Did you find anything?"
"Except sandstone or sandstone"
"Be careful, I've already asked Miyazaki Chuan and Qi Jingyu to distribute the thunder," Fang Mobei said as he looked at the location of Qi Jingyu and Miyazaki Chuan on the topographic map.
"It's so quiet, I'm a little hairy in my heart," Qi Jingyu said.
"I think we feel like we're being watched," Mina shook her head, she couldn't figure out how the enemy was spying on them.
"Didn't you find it on the biodetector?"
"Nope"
"Did Li Ziming find anything up there?" Fang Mobei frowned and asked.
"Captain Fang, I haven't found anything here, it's terrifyingly quiet" Li Ziming frowned and looked at the planet Tokta, "Do you want to mobilize unmanned fighters to support you?" Conduct a fire reconnaissance? βγ
"I don't recommend this, let's keep a low profile until the investigation is clear, at least we haven't been attacked yet" Gu Yiyi's voice came.
