Blake felt good about leaving Earth on a mission again, after all, it was only by adjusting to the state that he could cope with everything, and any mistake in space flight was a fatal thing.

After 17 hours of jumping, the ship's speed slowed down. The positions of the stars here are all different, and there are many unnamed planets. A purple and slightly reddish gas planet is directly in front of the spacecraft, layer by layer of gas wrapping each other, some layers rotate against the direction of rotation, and some layers flow downward, it seems that this is a multi-layered river huge and wide, sometimes quiet and serene, sometimes churning and turbulent, under the light of the stars, the black spots hint at the flow trajectory of each gas layer, like a scratch on the planet of the devil's claws, very deep, very hard.

An electrified voice: "Calculate the angle of entry, the automatic landing procedure is performed, please fasten your seat belt." ”

Blake looked at the data on the meter, and the data showed that everything was normal with the ship, and the gravity of the planet called Pitaya was only 50% of the Earth's gas, and the gas part was mainly composed of helium and nitrogen, which turned this purple after being mixed with other elements.

The spacecraft flew into this gas mixture, and the computer showed that it was calculating the size of the inner core of the gas planet. The more you fly, the more the color changes, and this gradient of purple makes Blake think of the endless chaos in the universe, the eternal war between various creatures, they/them fight every day, for survival, for reproduction, for territory, for all kinds of resources, and so on endlessly, you kill my father, I will attack your son. Just like this blue and red battle sky, the ochre and red green lotus are fickle, layered and inseparable. This strange gas was like a ghost, and they touched the hull, although it did not tremble, but it could feel that there was only one layer of barrier, and they were pervasive and knocking on the hull, Blake was frightened and goosebumps, and shouted: "When I go back, I will worship the Bodhisattva God, as long as it is a god, I will worship it!" "It's a pity that Blake is on an alien planet, and the Bodhisattva God can't reach anything. Blake, whose scalp was numb, trembled and counted the tapping, two or three at once......

Soon landed. Blake has been wearing an armored spacesuit, which comes with gravity boots and a gravity value adjusted to 0.9G, so that he can run faster than Earth but not jump like a grasshopper. Looking at the sky from the inside of the planet is different from looking at the planet in outer space, the purple gas in the sky seems to be very transparent, and you can see the stars in the sky.

Blake left the ship and looked at the list of PDAs on his wrist, the display was also purple due to the eerie ambient color.

Required Samples and Mission Objectives:

Biological cell samples (if any)

Plant cell samples (if plants are available)

Ground rock samples

Surface gas samples

Samples of river liquids

Recover a variety of detectors

……

"There's a lot of work to do!" Blake said to himself, "Oh my God, sometimes you don't need to collect samples, but this time you have to collect so much!" ”

Blake wasn't the kind of person who talked to himself, but the company's doctors asked him to talk to himself, and Dr. Rayfonde, who is said to have come to the company's medical department after years of spaceflight, came to the conclusion that if it was a one-man mission, it would be recommended to talk to oneself during a one-man mission, and that too much silence would lead to a nervous breakdown due to stress.

"Unleash the Specimen Collection Robot!" Blake said to the PDA.

An electrified voice: "Unleashing...... Please wait 30 seconds. ”

A robot in the shape of a big-headed child stepped out of the hatch, and soon the hatch closed.

"Oh, Parker, let's get a sample!" Blake patted the robot on the head.

"Di, analyze the surrounding environment......" The robot doll opened its mouth and spoke: "Understood!" ”

Parker walked in the other direction, and in the distance he could be seen bending down and picking up a rock.

Blake glued a bomb to the surface of a large rock.

An electrified voice: "10 seconds explosion warning!" 9 8 7 6……”

With a bang, the rock exploded. Blake picked three stones and placed them in the vessel.

There is a "boom" as if something has fallen into the water, and if it is H2O, it can be called water.

The fragments of the explosion flew far away, a lot of stones fell into it, the gravity here is only half that of the earth, Blake walked for a long time and saw a river, the liquid in the river was purple-black, probably the cause of the reflection, it was impossible to judge the color correctly, Blake's armor spacesuit could not directly touch the liquid He brought another layer of gloves and filled some of this liquid with a silicon nitride test tube, he used his gloves to dry the surface of the test tube and threw away this layer of gloves, and after closing the lid, he put the sample in the backpack. Blake was about to turn around when he felt something against him.

"Don't mess with the slut, or I'll impale your spacesuit." A strange voice.

Blake was scared, he was worried about this happening, but during training he learned how to straighten up and pretend not to be afraid: "Who? I'm just here to collect specimens! I have a mining license from the Government of the Earth! ”

"Do you have a weapon on you? Is it in the bag? Is it as simple as collecting samples? What samples do you need? A strange voice.

"The weapon is indeed in the bag, I need to collect a lot of things including cell samples of extraterrestrial life, of course I will only stun extraterrestrial life, I will not kill the other party!" Blake seemed to be very calm and said, "You can call me Blake, I'm from Earth." Have you heard of Earth? ”

The strange voice came again: "Small place! It's really a very small star......" As soon as he said this, Blake quickly turned around and elbowed the opponent, followed by an uppercut, and punched the strange man's body, but a star-shaped piece of flesh on the strange man caught Blake's attack like a hand. Blake pulled out his fist hard, and Blake hit the weirdo with his legs and knees, which really hit the weirdo in the sore spot, and the weirdo let out a strange wail.

The weirdo immediately shoots Blake, Blake hides behind a rock and takes out his gun to shoot the weirdo, Blake modulates the gravity boots to 0.4 earth gravity, which is used to quickly escape.

Blake turned around and fled, at this moment Blake was shot, Blake was injured in the forearm, and the spacesuit began to leak pressure and air, just now Blake obviously saw that the strange man was also hiding, how could he attack himself so quickly. A voice came from afar: "Surrender!" You can't escape. ”

Blake heard the sound far away, and he saw a moving hand on the ground, a hand made up of a star-shaped piece of flesh, which was pointing a gun at himself. Blake: "Alright! I surrendered immediately. Blake threw a rock at the hand that was leaving his body, and Blake only took a rough aim, and the stone hit the target, and at the same time Blake jumped backwards with both legs on the ground, this time at least twice as long as the kangaroo jump. Probably at a distance of 10-14 meters.

The strange man with only one hand stepped forward, and he said, "You liar. Blake fired a grenade, and the strange man took two steps back without hurrying, and then with a thud he disintegrated and all fell apart, the grenade exploding but having no effect. Blake watched as the other man shattered and turned into star-shaped pieces of flesh. Blake was nauseated.

"What the hell are you?" Blake cursed, and he jumped up and down as if a dozen lions were chasing him.

Finally running to the spaceship, Blake covered his leaky armor with his hand and yelled at the PDA, "Open the door!" But the spaceship just didn't respond, and even the robot doll in the distance stood there motionless, as if there was no electricity. Blake pressed the PDA to no avail, and he tried to manually open the hatch of the ship, but there was no response at all. It's as if all the systems of the ship have been locked by someone else. He found a strange "attachment" at the stern of the boat, and he couldn't pull it off when he pulled the strange "attachment" hard.

There was no sound except the wind, and Blake felt extremely desperate, and he adjusted his mind and thought about it for a while. It seems that the aliens got a head start, and this escape did not solve anything.

Blake took out the laser gun, turned the power to the maximum, and fired a few shots at the attachment on the ship, some of the light was actually refracted back, Blake was almost killed by his own laser gun, it seems that this material is immune to light-type weapons. Blake clutched the hole in his spacesuit back to the "black water", his breathing was a little difficult, and he let out a "whew...... Na" "Whew...... Na", there was a problem with the pressure of the spacesuit, and he tentatively called a few times: "Mr. Alien? Are you here? No one agreed, he was in a hurry, although his oxygen could last for a long time, but now there was a gas leak, and the toxic gases were seeping into the spacesuit, the skin was inhaling these gases, chronic poisoning could cause fainting at any time, if he couldn't find the other party, he would die here, he shouted again: "Blake from the small planet wants to see you, please come out!" In the distance, he saw a large humanoid lump of flesh made up of many small pieces of flesh, walking in a very strange way, and Blake's goosebumps rose again, and he pointed his gun at the alien creature.

A strange voice: "You're pretty good at attacking!" Blake. I had to restructure myself again after reorganization! ”

Blake cried out in despair, "What do you want?" Why don't you let me go? Blake shot the other man in the thigh, "What kind of fucking creature are you?" What the fuck should I call you? Blake suddenly became irritable.

One of the other party's legs was knocked away, and it fell to the ground in an instant, and Blake felt creepy when he looked closely, this strange body made up of many pieces of flesh that were stuck together seemed to be squirming all the time, conveying something to each other. The monster slowly climbed up to the side of his right leg and said, "Call me Piece of hundred, I'm made up of many small pieces of meat, a total of one hundred and ten, and my voice is one hundred and ten pieces of meat at the same time, and our voices are very small, so you can only hear them when you make sounds at the same time." ”

For the first time, Blake saw this kind of monster that would quickly repair itself: "I have enough ammo, I can blow you to pieces, and then you will definitely die!" ”

The monster slowly stood up on one leg and closed the other leg to the wound: "This leg is blown up, I can connect it, if it is blown up, I can have mitosis and regenerate, you can't kill me even if you run out of ammo!" ”

Blake felt that his chances of victory were slim, and he knew that there seemed to be a way out of compromise: "Alright, Mr. Hundred Pieces, just call you Pease!" Do you have a translator too? What is your purpose here? ”

Pease threw out something: "And then!" ”

Blake didn't dare to take what Pease had thrown, so Blake let it go, and after a while Blake saw that the thing didn't explode, so he walked over and picked it up. Blake saw that it was a can of DuPont brand spacesuit repair glue, and the bottle read: Dry quickly, prevent leakage, plug all holes. There is also a braggadocio at the back: After solidification, the nuclear bomb cannot be shattered.

Blake immediately sprayed the repair glue at the hole in the armor. Soon the pressure inside the armor returned to normal and there was no longer air leakage.

Pease: "We have the TW-9000 translator, we traded it with other aliens, the name Pease is very short, easy to remember, good!" We allow you to call us Pease, and we've been judging you for hours. We agree that your meat must be delicious. ”

Blake was about to pull the trigger, and the devil knew when the other party would pounce: "If you want to eat me, I'll kill you, everyone dies together!" ”

Pease: "If we decide to eat you, we'll kill you when we meet!" Pease: "If I wanted you to die, I would have maxed out the laser gun at the beginning, and you would have died long ago, and your armor would be as weak as the squeaky frogs on this planet." ”

Blake was now at a disadvantage and could only go with the other, and he said, "You mean there are frogs in this river?" ”

Pease's one hundred and ten mouths said at the same time, "Yes, they are all delicious frogs, and the more you eat them, the taste becomes dull, and he likes to eat these frogs, and he likes to eat fried ones the most, but his appetite is not very good!" ”

Blake said, "Who is he?" Fried? Do you have a stove? Maybe your cooking skills could be improved! ”

Pease said, "It's a pity I don't have a stove on my ship!" I like to eat it raw, the elastic meat, the delicious blood! And the squeak of them before they die! One hundred and ten of Pease's mouths stuck out their tongues at the same time, making one after another licking sounds.

Blake: "You should have a computer or a terminal, right?" I've got some recipes for frogs from the earth that you can taste in different ways. ”

Pease: "That's the best. ”

Blake was so relieved that he asked, "What are you made of?" What type of life is it? We earthlings are all carbon-based lifeforms, with a lifespan of about 200 years. ”

Pease said: "It seems that we are somewhat similar to the earthlings, sodium and carbon dual-base lifeforms, and our resistance to toxicity should be many times stronger than yours!" ”

Blake: "It's true that human beings are prone to death, and human organs are not well developed. Who was he you talking about earlier? ”

Pease thought for a moment and said, "He's been with us for 900 days, and he's a human being. ”

Blake was intrigued: "Take me to see him!" ”

Pease: "Okay, as we thought, let's go here." ”

The two walked for a while, and the rocky beach here was endless.

A 400-meter-long alien spaceship slanted to a rocky beach in the distance, its cold exterior as hard and slippery as a mountain ridge after rain. Blake and Pease enter the ship, and soon Blake hears someone's moaning, painful and emaciated.

Blake slowly walked into the cell and saw a person sitting in the inclined cell, it was obvious that the ship had a life support system similar to a human spaceship, that is, there was air.

Pease: "Can we watch you two fight?" I want to record it. ”

Blake frowned and said in disgust: "He's not in good health, he'll die if he fights." ”

"We just wanted to get a report on human heads-up so I could get some money," Pease explained. If you don't want to fight him, then you might as well pick him up! ”

Blake said, "Prepare the medical transfer kit, I can't take him without that thing." ”

Pease brought a flying stretcher.

A crippled man was confused, his words were whispered but barely audible, and he began to moan: "The bird I was looking forward to has finally folded its colorful wings and stopped beside me!" Can you lift me with a strong claw? Take me? It's still an unknown! ”

Blake asked with concern, "Who are you?" What is your name? Is there impure impurities in the air that make you like this? ”

The disabled man groaned, "The lotus leaf that is missing a corner is still beautiful, and each leaf is different, do you need a name to distinguish each living circle?" Birds! Grab my collar and get me out of here! ”

The ship tilted Blake's leg and squatted a little sore, "I'll take you away, you've become a burden to Mr. Pease, and you're terminally ill and in need of healing." ”

The crippled man tilted his head and groaned, "The seeds of dreams have sprouted in cracked land, waterless, barren, saline. ”

The slope of the cabin was unsuitable, and Blake couldn't squat a little: "I'll arrange you in a special cabin, three meals a day, you won't make trouble, right?" ”

The crippled man groaned, "Break free from the confines of the dragon fruit and enter the clutches of the giant bird again, fair, equal!" ”

With his legs tingling, Blake stood up and turned to Pease and said, "Thank you for not killing him, or eating him." ”

Pease: "He is a intelligent creature, we have agreed not to violate the basic OFF-WORLD diplomatic rules, I can keep him from dying for the time being when he is sick, if he dies I will eat his corpse, natural recycling and green environmental protection will never be wasted!" [Note: OFF-WORLD means "outside world"]

Blake thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you're right, have you been here alone all along?" Ever thought about leaving? ”

Pease: "I have a lot of communication equipment, I have my own business and I don't leave Pitaya for the time being. ”

Blake saw that there was a LAN in the spaceship, and pressed the PDA several times and said, "Share your K-1 drive letter, and I will immediately pass on the recipe to you, a total of 790 frog dishes." ”

Pease said, "This ...... That's great. ”

Blake screwed the Mad Poet's helmet on, then placed the Mad Poet on a flying stretcher, and they followed Pease to Blake's ship, where Pease sang a song about the "attachment" on the ship. The "attachment" fell, the various indicators of the spaceship were lit, Parker began to move, he waved his hand to Blake, and then Parker boarded the ship, the spaceship made an energetic sound, and the stretcher floated in by itself, Blake looked at the stains on the body of the crazy "poet", and in the infirmary, the crazy "poet" said: "Entangled in a snake, there is no freedom in the body, there is no meat in the hole, and the cuckoo's cry echoes again." ”

The robot doll turned on the instrument and began to check various physiological parameters: "I scan your body with diagnostic tools, you relax!" Don't move! ”

Blake says goodbye to Pease and leaves Pitaya.

Blake piloted the ship, calculating the trajectory of the flight.

The robot doll came to Blake's side: "The patient has come to his senses, and in 12 hours he will wash his lungs." ”

Blake turned the ship to autopilot, and he came to the mad poet: "Hey! My name is Blake, what's your name? ”

The mad poet regained his strength and sanity a little: "I really want to go back to Earth!" My name is Vincent. ”

Blake asked, "How did you get to that planet?" ”

Vincent seemed to be in pain, and he reluctantly said, "I'm on a tourist spaceship, and I'm going to go to Mars to have fun, but the spacecraft has something wrong. ”

Blake asked, "Mars?" It's a long way from here. ”

Vincent: "yes, when the ship was out of order, I went to the rescue pod, and my rescue pod ejected, and when I looked out the window again, I found that I was in a strange galaxy. ”

Blake: "The best survival pod wouldn't have this kind of speed!" ”

Vincent: "I don't know, I put on a spacesuit in the survival pod, and I landed on this planet." ”

Blake didn't believe the other party at all, he smiled and asked, "And that meat ball locked you up?" How the hell did you end up on Dragon Fruit Planet? I really miss the way you communicate with a lot of metaphors and adjectives, and it feels better to have fewer lies. ”

Vincent: "I was mad from the unclean air, but I did come in a rescue pod!" ”

Blake: "Wow! That's right! Yes! Your rescue pod is more powerful than my ship, flying from the solar system to Pitaya in an instant. ”

Vincent: "Believe it or not, I'm going to eat, I'm going to give me food!" ”

Blake: "I'll eat it later, and I'll only get a reward if I answer correctly." ”

Vincent was annoyed: "Do you think I am a monkey?" ”

In this way, Blake asked more than twenty times, Vincent answered almost the same every time, it seemed that what the other party said was true, Vincent began to scold his father and mother and scold the street and scold the robot, Blake had to take out some dried fruits from the earth and liquid rice in a toothpaste tube for Vincent to eat. Vincent ate very sweetly, as if his anger had not yet been exhausted, and he began to scold the alien squeaky frog again: "! That damn amphibian, with dirty legs kicking around......"
