Chapter 56: Landing on the Glacier

It's a world full of cold and ice, but underneath the ice is a much richer marine world. Mo Ran looked at the planet projected in front of him, this planet has been far away from the suitable zone, but because there are several moons of different sizes around, there is still some lava activity inside it, which also causes the surface of the planet to be covered by an ice sheet more than four kilometers thick, but the interior is a scene of an ocean, and the lava activity inside the planet also makes there are many small craters inside the ocean.

Mo Ran didn't know why there was so much water on this planet, and under normal circumstances, it was difficult for a planet to have so much water. A battleship in orbit carried out an on-orbital energy weapon attack, carving a sloping channel of smooth inner walls directly into the thick ice, and a team of Sirius Legion sergeants and a large number of androids boarded the landing craft.

Looking at the videos on the other side of the star chart, these videos are in the armor of the captain of each team, along with the personnel of the entire squad. Mo Ran naturally couldn't gather all the teams, it was too inefficient to do that, so he explored them separately. Among the ten surrounding star systems, there are 36 terrestrial planets, as well as numerous gas planets.

Compared to those that are too close to the stars and those outside of the gaseous planets, there are only a dozen or so planets that they need to discover. In fact, the Protoss has also found some very large creatures in some gas planets, and some large creatures are swimming in the gas planets with very low density, like some creatures in ancient mythology.

However, the probability of the birth of this creature is extremely low, so Mo Ran does not consider it. What's more, in the form of the undead, it is extremely difficult to exist in those gaseous planets.

"I'll check it out too." Mo Ran hesitated. The number of this Sky Wolf Legion team is not large, mainly to take care of other teams, and in the end, the remaining number of them is less than a team, thinking of the escort team he has, Mo Ran also plans to go down and have a look. In this case, Captain Luo Xian and the lieutenant should have stopped it, but they didn't say anything. After all, it now seems that this planet should be the safest of all planets.

After changing into the BX armor, Mo Ran connected the communication inside to the battleship's lieutenant. "Captain, I'll leave it to you." Mo Ran said to Captain Luo Xian. Although there are not many problems, they still need the fleet to have some cover in orbit.

"No problem." Captain Luo Xian smiled and said, she understood Mo Ran's thoughts, that is, let her try to manage the fleet more, and over time, after those Protoss captains got used to it, they might be less dissatisfied! "Be careful." Captain Luo Xian said, and then took over the command of Mo Ran's battleship.

Mo Ran had a newly equipped escort of twenty Protoss personnel by his side, and when the battleship suffered irreparable damage, these guards were obliged to protect Mo Ran's safety when he was forced to land on the surrounding planets. However, in many cases, these guards are just a formality and do not have much use. Just like the previous battles, the idea of escaping is almost impossible in the face of an attack in the form of saturation.

Looking at these guards, Mo Ran entered a landing craft. The members of the Sky Wolf Squad had already gone down with the androids in the fleet.

The Protoss guards around him didn't understand why Mo Ran, as the commander, wanted to go down, after all, the commander of the fleet was not allowed to take risks, but they wouldn't ask.

The landing ship flew towards the ice-blue planet below without any shaking, and as it got closer and closer to the planet under his feet, Mo Ran also received a message from the captain of the Sky Wolf Squad. "The ground conditions are safe, the temperature is minus 170 degrees, and the wind force is level nine." The squad leader whispered as they had to half-crouch on the ice to communicate, a large amount of ice chips clacking in the wind and clanging on the armor.

Mo Ran's spaceship was anchored on the ice under the protection of more than a dozen landing ships around it, and several sharp claw nails extended from under the landing ship to fix the spaceship on the ice, otherwise it wouldn't be long before these spaceships would not know where they would be blown by this strong wind. Moreover, these claw nails can also allow the ship to be parked in some areas with more complicated situations.

Mo Ran stood at the position of the hatch, and a small amount of frost could already be seen on the bulkheads around the spaceship. Half-crouched down, and the Protoss guards behind him were also half-crouching, and then connected the slender ropes to everyone. The hatch slowly opened, and a cold breath swept in, and a large amount of frost instantly condensed on the surrounding bulkheads. After the wind had only poured in a little, there was no movement. Mo Ran lowered his body and walked forward, the Protoss guards behind him opened the claw nails on the soles of their armored feet, and each step had to be stepped on the hard ice several times to create a place that could barely grip the ground.

"Those robots can't be brought down." The captain of the Sky Wolf Squad not far from Mo Ran said loudly, as if this would warm up the cold body. Although the armor has a good protection against cold, the cold air around it still penetrates through the thick armor. "Now there are only fifty-three of us, and there are more than three hundred of them plus androids."

Mo Ran filtered the image collection on his armor, filtering out the frost scattered in the wind around him, so that he could barely see the surrounding environment clearly. "Where's the passage below?" Mo Ran also asked loudly, he only had an energy rifle and a large package on him, which was carried for the purpose of collecting samples.

"More than a mile ahead." The captain pointed forward and said loudly, he moved little by little, if he didn't move, they would soon be frozen here, and eventually become ice sculptures here. Mo Ran looked around, and also used his feet to dig a small hole in the ice, and then stepped on it and walked forward. "Be careful, there may be ice crevasses underneath some of the ice." The captain's voice came again.

Compared to Mo Ran, the members of the Sky Wolf Team still need to carry some equipment, although they have a certain amount of preparation for the severe cold here, but after they really meet it, they still feel that there are too many problems. Moran has experienced Pluto, so he has some experience, but on Pluto, which has a lot of rocks, the journey is not as difficult as here.

The distance of one mile does not seem to be very far, but it is like a moat for them now. In such strong winds, even snowmobiles could not be used, so they could only drag their tools and move forward little by little. From time to time, a sergeant fell, and was then blown backwards by the wind on the ice for several meters. If it weren't for the traction of the rope, it might really be blown straight to an unknown place!

And the other end of their rope is connected to the ship, and even if the worst happens, they won't be blown away by the wind. The Celestial Wolf Legion didn't have much experience with such a harsh environment, and if it were the Dragon Flame Legion, they would tilt a baffle in front of them, allowing a sergeant to keep smashing the hard ice with a kinetic weapon and then move forward slowly.

Mo Ran looked at the figures around him, he hid behind several Protoss guards, these Protoss' armor kinetic energy was much better than Mo Ran's BX armor, and after the initial discomfort, they moved forward much faster than the people around them. Mo Ran thought for a moment, and then used the ejection device on the armor to connect himself to the nearest team. "Follow us." Mo Ran suddenly felt very lucky, fortunately he came down, and using the advantage of the Protoss armor, he could at least help this team.

It didn't take long for their group to advance towards the cave in the distance, led by a few Protoss.

The Protoss armor that led the way in front had to be replaced every once in a while, and if it didn't come down like this for a long time, these guards couldn't stand it. And Mo Ran is the captain of the Sky Wolf Squad next to him.

"Commander, this is not the place for you." The captain stepped on the shallow pit under his feet, and then gouged twice more vigorously to make it easier for the personnel behind him to walk.

"So where should I go?" Hearing the captain's words, Mo Ran couldn't help but sneer and asked. Originally, there was only one rope on the armor, but at this time, it was already connected to the five or six Protoss guards around and the captain beside him. Each person is surrounded by several companions, which forms a stronger team.

"Inside the fleet!" The captain hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, he exhaled twice, and through the Protoss guards in front of him, there was a vast snow in front of him. There are no ups and downs to be seen. "It's hard to imagine life down here."

"There are quite a few volcanoes down there, and the surrounding satellites also provide a certain tidal force, so the ocean temperature below should be good." Mo Ran said with a sneer. Perhaps this is the closest form that Mo Ran has encountered so far to be in human cognitive life! "I just don't know what kind of life it will have."

Hearing Mo Ran's words, the captain also sneered, after all, some tiny lifeforms were also found in Europa before, indicating that this situation is still very likely to happen.

"I just don't know what kind of creature is waiting for us down here!" The captain chuckled and said that he really wanted to hide in the huge ice tunnel that had been carved through by the battleship. At least there wasn't much cold wind in there.

"I don't know, hopefully it's not a very dangerous creature." Mo Ran chuckled and said that they didn't know what the creatures on this planet would look like, nor how long the life forms on this planet had evolved. At this time, they don't seem to have anything else to think about except to be careful.
