After Tara personally conveyed the rescue mission to the members of the Red Kite, the mission began.

Because this is a rescue supervision and investigation mission, it does not require a large scale of operation, so this time only the main ship and several frigates will be dispatched, and the rest of the world will remain in the Tiancang base on standby.

......

Soon, the Red Kite fleet arrived in the Tucker system through an interstellar leap.

Considering that there may be interference from external forces, this time, the Red Kite fleet is divided into two parts: the action group and the support group.

The operation team is responsible for entering the Tucker 2 mission, while the Japanese team stays in the outer space of the Tucker 2 and is responsible for the remote support, danger alert and safety of the task force.

Because the atmosphere of Tucker II contains a large amount of sulfur gas, and sulfur gas is harmful to the human body, the action group is composed of combat armored soldiers.

When the main ship enters the atmosphere of Tucker II, it opens the hatch and releases the members of the team, and then returns to outer space on Tucker II.

As an important presence of the fleet, the basic principle of the main ship is to keep the main ship away from danger when it is not necessary.

......

About two-thirds of the team members are armored combat units, and the remaining one-third remain in outer space as support groups.

Although the task force has several thousand people, which seems to be quite a lot, the number of people is still small compared to the area that needs to be searched for tens of thousands of kilometers. However, relying on the high-speed movement characteristics of the armor, it is still capable of this task.

According to the plan, the members of the task force were divided into hundreds of teams to conduct a sub-regional carpet search of the area to be searched, to find clues about the missing appearance of the investigation team, and in the process, to recover the fallen meteorite fragments.

The meteorite that fell this time is not large, so the damage caused to the surface of Tucker II is also very limited, but because this meteorite disintegrated due to high temperature when it passed through the atmosphere, it broke into hundreds of small pieces, causing the fragments that fell to be scattered, so it was also troublesome to collect.

Bai Guo and An Ran are in the same squad, they already have a fixed squad, this fixed squad has been cooperating for a long time, and the tacit understanding is relatively good, which is also the Red Kite Fleet consciously cultivating the cooperation between the crew members and improving the team's combat efficiency.

......

Looking down from the sky, Tucker II has a very wild feeling, Tucker II is also composed of two parts: ocean and land, unlike the earth, Tucker II's land area is very small, accounting for only about 3% of the surface area of Tucker II. And the landform of the land is very simple, that is, volcanic groups.

Dozens or hundreds of craters are piled up, the tall craters are still billowing smoke, and you can even see some erupting volcanoes, rolling magma gushing out of the craters, thick smoke covering the sky, and many debris falling from the sky, it really feels like the end of the world.

It is precisely because of the number of volcanoes here that the content of sulfide gas in the air is seriously exceeded.

On the other side of the sea, when you look down from the sky, the ocean is black and looks very dull.

However, there are many volcanoes, and they are not far from the ocean, and when the volcano erupts, the boiling magma pours down and pours into the sea, raising huge steam, which is also quite a spectacular sight.

......

The members of the task force didn't look at the scenery, because they had already studied the Tucker two-star information before they came, and they went straight to the mission.

What they didn't notice was that after they left, a figure silently followed them towards the ground.

......

"Smack."

The Ark's feet landed on the surface of Tucker II, and he opened his mouth to take a deep breath of air rich in sulfur gases.

"Well, the smell of rotten eggs."

The ark still wrapped his body with energy, because he was afraid that he would be pickled in the air, and when he returned to the main ship, he would also smell of rotten eggs.

Although Ark did not eavesdrop on the conversation in the captain's room, he went to listen to it at the mission conference later. This mission: to find the missing planet of the investigation team, as well as to search for meteorite fragments.

Although the ark didn't know where the investigation team was missing, since they were here to collect meteorite fragments, they would definitely be stationed near the meteorite drop site, and when he was in the sky just now, he had already locked on a large meteorite drop site.

This meteorite fell on land near the ocean, and it was also on the edge of a volcano, but fortunately, the meteorite was less powerful and did not cause damage to the volcanic structure, otherwise the meteorite may cause a large-scale volcanic eruption after it falls.

When the Ark arrived near the meteorite drop site, there were already members of the Red Kite Fleet there to investigate, and the Ark was searching the outer area.

Soon, the ark picked up a fragment, which seemed to be a fragment of armor, the ark touched it with his hand, the wound was rounded, and there were traces of melting on the edges, it was injured by some kind of high temperature: "It's a laser weapon!" ”

The fact that the investigation team was attacked by laser weapons means that they were indeed attacked by a certain intelligent race.

Could it be that this comet fall incident, like the previous Comet of Hahn, was planned by someone behind the scenes, a malicious action against the Terrans.

If you guess along these lines, their target is definitely not a survey team of only 100 people, but it is more likely that the Red Kite Fleet is coming now.

......

And the Red Kite Fleet, which is investigating near the meteorite landing site, has also found many clues. They did find the camp where the survey team had been stationed near the site.

However, the camp was already very chaotic at this time, and they found a large number of objects and fragments of armor scattered by the search team, and they were sure that there had been a battle here, but they did not find any members of the investigation team.

It's that they didn't find the fallen meteorite in that crater, judging from the size of the crater, the meteorite should still exist after it fell, but it is now gone.

......

As for the ark, he also found some armor fragments one after another, according to the traces on these armor fragments, it can be seen that the marks of the armor fragments are like some kind of claw marks and tooth marks, the teacher was attacked by some kind of beast, but there are traces left by laser weapons on individual fragments.

This is a little strange, beasts and lasers are not like mix-and-match configurations, unless they control beasts and use laser weapons, but if they have laser weapons, why use something as primitive as beasts?

Could it be a mechanical beast?

The Ark had seen some races use this method before. However, in the galaxy, I have not heard of any race related to it.
