After a month of external recruitment, assessment, and strict selection, the expedition team of Planet Xindi finally accepted more than 500 new members around the world, and some members of the original Falcon Special Combat Team joined the team with a total of more than 1,000 people, divided into 10 teams, each with 100 members.

According to Wei Xinyu's plan to transform the planet Xindi, the members of the expedition team will be distributed in representative places on the planet Xindi, and cooperate with the robots on the planet Xindi to explore and transform the new planet.

Before entering the new planet, the members of the expedition team must train intensively on the planet for half a year, and only those who are qualified can enter the new planet to carry out exploration activities.

As the leader of the first detachment, their detachment will be stationed at the North Pole of the planet Xindi, which is the place with the most harsh conditions. In addition to the dozens of personnel who needed to be trained, the first batch of personnel of the first detachment of the expedition team selected 12 capable personnel as the advance team of the Arctic station, and took the lead in taking the spacecraft to enter the North Pole of the new ball to establish the Arctic station according to the predetermined detected position. Captain Wei Zhen, as the chief captain of the 10 detachments, was not worried about Jing Zhonghua, and after handing over the training to Lu Xiangdong, he also followed the members of the advance team of the first detachment to the planet Xindi.

After entering the sky above the North Pole of the New Earth Planet, the manned S spacecraft of the Earth Star Kingdom quickly found the location of the North Pole station set in advance according to the navigation route of the New Earth Command Center and hovered in the air.

The spacecraft opened the hatch, and five giant robots were dispatched from the spacecraft to transfer equipment and materials to the ground, and they were to drive piles on the ground, install the necessary equipment and base stations.

At this time, the entire North Pole of the planet Xindi was in the polar day, the sun was shining on the earth, the temperature was very high, most of the members of the first detachment of the expedition, wearing spacesuits, sat in the separation cabin, and the robot transported the separation cabin they were riding on to the snowy North Pole ground, and they did not dare to step out of the hatch. The detachment module will serve as a living module for the members of the first detachment, and will be placed in a col in the North Pole, where the first detachment is preparing to establish an Arctic station.

Wei Zhen and Jing Zhonghua did not sit in the separation module, they piloted a mecha together, flying around the North Pole in the air. They wanted to know more about the real environment around the Arctic. Looking out of the mecha's window, below the deserted, snowy and cold Arctic, she complained:

"I really don't understand, you people always like to build the base station in this kind of ghost place where birds don't, what is there to explore and transform here, your heads are flooded."

Wei Zhen told Jing Zhonghua: "The north and south poles of all planets are extremely important strategic places, and they are also the most special places for magnetic fields. ”

Their mechs made their way to the land of floating ice, not far from North Pole Station. They soon landed the mech in the land of floating ice.

The weather in the Arctic is changing, and the cloudless weather, which had been quiet and clear just a moment ago, suddenly became windy and blizzards.

The storm was howling, sweeping the snow all over the sky, and they had no protection from this mecha, and they had long been blown away by the strong wind. Their mechs braved the wind and snow to slowly move through the snow.

The Xiaoice blocks moving under their feet, under the raging storm, collided with each other and burst into terrible crashing sounds, stirring up terrifying waves, and from time to time ice cubes were smashed into pieces.

Their mechs continued to walk in this bad weather, sometimes jumping on large ice blocks, Wei Zhen said:

"The detector in the mech shows that underneath this block of ice is the ocean."

The flower in the scene looked at the violent snowstorm outside the window and said:

"I feel like we're on top of a big ocean, and if the ice melts, I'm afraid it's going to be a big ocean."

Wei Zhen felt that this place was not far from the original location of the North Pole Station, and the North Pole Station would sink to the bottom of the sea after the ice melted, so he hurriedly called the person in charge of the spacecraft:

"S spaceship, S spaceship! The address of our Arctic station will be changed, and it is not suitable for us to build a station in that mountain col, so we will have to find a new address to build a new station. ”

The S spacecraft replied, "The S spacecraft has received, our mission has been completed, and we are now returning home." If you need spacecraft support, please report to the New Ball Command Center, which will deploy it. ”

Wei Zhen thought about it for a while, he didn't even choose a good address, and he didn't know where to build the Arctic station, and now he proposed to the command center to deploy spacecraft support, which was indeed reckless, and the top priority was to first explore the Arctic region clearly, and then make a site selection decision. Jing Zhonghua felt that there was no problem in building a station in the original mountain pass, but she trusted Wei Zhen's judgment and therefore did not argue with him. In order to find a good address to build a website, their mecha did not return to its original place and continued to move forward.

Due to the raging wind on the ground, the pieces that were smashed into by the ice hit the mecha violently, and the sound of metal "bell, bell, bell......" came out, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and every step was difficult. To escape the storm, their mech transforms into a submarine and dives underwater.

Although there was an undercurrent in the sea, it was much calmer, the submarine slowly moved forward underwater, and they came to a deep trench according to the navigation guidance.

"Wow, our base station is built right on it, and it looks like we're in the right location."

Jing Zhonghua pointed out the window of the submarine and said: "I have seen the map of the planet Xindi drawn up, the North Pole is originally an ocean, and where we choose a site, we are built on the water, and to choose a site, we cannot rely on the situation on the seabed alone, we need to see what the environment is on the ground." ”

Wei Zhen shook his head and said: "The environment on the ground is only one of the factors, and we also need to take a long-term view and need to refer to the climate change of the planet Xindi." In the past, we ignored the fact that due to warmer temperatures, there was a possibility that the ice would melt and turn into an ocean. We also have to continue to go deeper into the Arctic, and I think it's safer to build a station there. ”

The submarine continued to drive inside, and after driving for a while, they did not find any sea creatures and plants such as sea fish, seagrass, corals, sea anemones, and starfish on the bottom of the sea, but the temperature meter showed that the temperature on the bottom of the sea was basically the same as that on the planet. The flower in the scene asked:

"Shouldn't there be no creatures at the bottom of the sea, is there something wrong with our vision?"

Wei Zhen stared at the screen in front of the bridge and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

The flower replied: "Because it is a half-light and half-dark planet, maybe there are many creatures around us, but we can't see it." ”

Wei Zhen nodded in agreement: "Makes sense." ”

The further the submarine went, the darker the bottom of the sea became, Wei Zhen turned on the detection instrument, and the instrument showed: The ice thickness is 3,000 meters. He said:

"We built the Arctic station in this place, where the ice is much thicker, and we went up to see the surface environment."

Wei Zhen began to look for the thinnest ice to the ground nearby, strange to say, the submarine didn't go far to find a layer of ice dozens of meters thick, they turned the submarine into a cone-shaped flying machine, and after melting the ice with a laser, they quickly drilled the mecha out of the ice and came to the surface.

They turned the mech back into a robot mech. Wei Zhen saw on the mecha's screen that the back ice he had detected turned out to be a large area of towering icebergs. The icebergs are so steep that they shoot into the sky like sharpened swords of ice, shining in the strong sunlight, and it is impossible to build a station on the mountain.

At this time, the weather in the Arctic is clear, and it is white at a glance, and you can't see your head. They continued to walk forward, trying to find the ideal base to build a station, when suddenly the sharp-eyed Jingzhonghua spotted a robot figure through the transparent window.

Wei Zhen thought it was a robot sent by the Earth Planet, and he immediately turned on the pager to call the other party:

"I'm Expedition Team 001 Mecha, please answer when you hear the call! …… Who are you? Please answer when you hear it! ”

The other party also found the No. 001 mecha, it turned around and glanced at the No. 001 mecha, and ran away, Wei Zhen immediately increased the horsepower of the mecha and chased towards the robot, the robot was very clever and fast, it quickly entered the iceberg and suddenly disappeared.

Jing Zhonghua shouted: "It's an alien robot, don't let it run." ”

Immediately the No. 001 mecha also followed into the iceberg, and they soon found the alien robot, Wei Zhen preemptively shot a laser bomb at the other party, and the other party quickly dodged and continued to escape to the depths of the iceberg.

A laser projectile sent the iceberg into a small avalanche, and a steady stream of snow rolled down, and Mech 001 chased after it regardless of the danger in front of him. The alien robot stopped in a mountain col, waiting for No. 001, and when the No. 001 mecha caught up, it sent a laser beam to the iceberg passing by the No. 001 mecha, and suddenly the landslide cracked, and the entire iceberg rushed towards the No. 001 mecha, and the No. 001 mecha had no time to react, and was crushed in the col by the avalanche of the whole mountain, and it was uncontrollable.

Wei Zhen couldn't get rid of the snow-capped mountain pressed by the mecha by all means, so he had to urgently call the expedition team members of the Arctic Station. The team members of the North Pole Station in the col heard Wei Zhen's call and hurriedly dispatched three robots to support, but the rescue robots could not do anything when they saw the mecha crushed under the entire iceberg, so they had to call for help from the Planet Xindi Command Center through the North Pole Station.

Wei Xinyu, the person in charge of the command center, was quite strange and thought: [How can there be an unidentified robot in the North Pole? It seems that our new ball has been noticed and we have to guard against it. 】

In order to rescue Wei Zhen and Jing Zhonghua as soon as possible, he immediately dispatched four giant robots, and after several hours of excavation, he finally dug a passage and rescued the No. 001 mecha.

Mecha 001 was crushed under the iceberg for 7 hours, its legs and arms were damaged, and it was unable to walk, and was carried back to the North Pole Station by the giant robot. Although Wei Zhen and Jing Zhonghua had water replenishment in the mecha, the two of them hadn't eaten for more than ten hours, and the first thing they did after returning to the North Pole Station was to eat.

Jing Zhonghua was eating the meal that the chef had already prepared on the dining table in the living cabin, and looking out the window that the snowstorm began to blow again, she asked Wei Zhen:

"The North Pole, such a harsh environment, what do alien robots want to do here?"

Wei Zhen took a bite of food, raised his head and replied, "For the sake of resources." ”
