Compared to Claire, who seems more intimidating, the seemingly harmless woman is the devil. She actually installed a brain plug in her head, so she could explore her position, state and even brain activity anytime and anywhere. Report to her every time you leave the planet, or you'll have to enjoy another boost of the synergist overdose.

Anhaka didn't want to try it again for a few lifetimes, and he used to treat those things that could make people think about it as good things, but after this experience of excessive intake, he gave up completely, and he quit cleanly, and his head would collapse when he saw others using it.

"Alright, you just wait at the launch platform, the shuttle will arrive in two hours. I can play for a few more days this time, and don't forget to bring back the parts I ordered when I come back, there is a transporter that needs maintenance. ”

John Sr. is the captain of this collection team, and usually sits in the command center to monitor the operation of the collection equipment. In fact, it is more appropriate for Nuel to do this job, although his brain memory has been erased and permanent damage has been caused, but other functions have not been lost, and it is much more efficient to communicate with the main brain as a clone pilot.

But this guy doesn't want to stay in the command center, just like the clone pilots don't want to be on the planet's surface, and even if they don't have a ship to drive, they have to use the transporter as a ship, running between the collection point and the launch platform all day, and have fun.

It's the thirtieth, and it's time for the holidays, but Nuel doesn't want to go to the living space station to have fun, and he doesn't think there is any point in the women, drinks, fighting rings, and racing tracks.

With Nuel, old John must not be at ease with letting him stay here alone, so he has to stay with him. In fact, he is not too interested in those entertainment projects, and no matter how interesting things are, he is annoyed for hundreds of years.

When the shuttle left with Anhaka, John Sr. immediately put on a maintenance mecha and went to the cargo hold, dragged a large round barrel from the small container in the corner, loaded it into the transport vehicle, and left the command center alone to drive towards the launch platform a hundred kilometers away.

In the vast ice field, the huge transport truck is like a small worm slowly wriggling, and it takes two hours to travel a distance of 100 kilometers. No, there are too few bare rocky surfaces on this planet, and these are the two closest pieces of land.

After climbing less than five kilometers, Old John had to re-plan the route, and found a new gap in front of him, which was said to be a gap, but it was half a kilometer wide and bottomless, and no vehicle could pass unless he could fly.

"I hope I won't be late this time......" Old John was a little anxious looking at the winding route planned by the probe. Tomorrow is the time to launch the beacon, and on this day of the month, he will launch the beacon from the platform to orbit while others are away, stay there for twenty hours, and then retrieve it.

Only once was he late because of a gap in the ice, and as a result, he always suspected that he had missed the contact time. Lee didn't find his place, otherwise why wouldn't he have come to see it after so long

Could there be other factors, Old John didn't want to think about it, he preferred to believe that it was his own fault than let the young man have an accident. There are not many good people in this world, so let's have one more if you can.

"Electricity...... Solid Gas Feedstock ...... The coordinates ......" hurried and finally arrived at the launch platform in the early morning of the same day. Before the beacon can be put on the magnetic rails, it must be covered with a heat-resistant shell.

This step alone took another hour, and each parameter had to be checked back and forth several times, for fear of losing the only tool I could contact with that person. And he never asked the other two companions to help, and he didn't even tell them about the existence of the beacon, so that the secret would not be leaked.

"God...... Unlucky guy! "Just as I was ready to launch work, the dark gray sky was suddenly lit up by some kind of light. Old John raised his head while operating the mecha, and saw a meteor breaking through the atmosphere, shining bright orange and stabbing at the ice field.

As an old navy that had lived for hundreds of years, he immediately judged that it was not a meteorite, but a spaceship. John Sr. didn't think it was strange why the spaceship entered the atmosphere, and the pilots were also divided into high and low abilities.

Some rookies rush into space in a hurry without practicing their skills, and once they encounter operational errors, there will be various accidents. For example, if you get too close to the planet and don't adjust its course in time, the spacecraft will be attracted by the planet's gravity and fall like a meteorite.

Normally, the spacecraft and the pilot are unlucky, and in order to reduce costs and technical difficulties, most spaceships will not be equipped with equipment to land on the surface of the planet.

"Huh...... Strange thing! Old John knew that he could not save the hapless pilot, so he prayed in his heart, and just as he was about to launch the beacon, he twisted his head back again, staring at the bright flame, his brow furrowing more and more.

Whether it is a spaceship or a meteorite, as long as it enters the atmosphere, it will soon be burned by high temperatures, and the specific manifestation is disintegration, gradually turning from a whole piece into several pieces or a pile. However, the ship apparently did not disintegrate, and its unconventional wake was very light, indicating that its body did not burn.

The most interesting thing is that its flight trajectory is not a straight line, and there are two small inflection points in the middle. This is very intriguing, can it be said that the spaceship can still control Old John knows that the navy has this kind of equipment to forcibly land on the surface of the planet from orbit, but he can't think of anything on this broken planet that deserves so much attention from the navy.

Could it be that the Angel Consortium knew that the three of them were hiding here, and it seemed unlikely that they would send someone to arrest it, and this kind of equipment was rarely used by the navy, because it was one-time and the cost was too high. In order to capture the three people, the atmospheric shuttle can be used, and there is no need to make such a big move.

But in any case, there was a ghost in his heart and he still couldn't turn a blind eye, so Old John launched the beacon as fast as he could, and immediately drove towards the possible landing site of the meteor. This was also a factor that worried John Sr., the landing point was too close to the command center.

The meteor is naturally Hong Tao's Mole, and with the beacon parameters, there is no need to find the location of the planetary mining command center. However, the air currents on the planet's surface were so strong that they failed to meet their expectations despite two adjustments made during the landing.

The landing site was still more than a kilometer away from the command center, and it fell directly on the ice sheet, dissolving the thick ice layer into a large hole more than 20 meters deep. Now, if no one comes to rescue the three of them, they will starve to death in the ice cave.

"Hey, aren't you the head of the Li mine, isn't it the rat mining team that has work to do again, but it's a pity that my spaceship is gone, and now there is only a transport vehicle!" Without the space environment, the performance of the Mole was greatly reduced, not only could it not move, but its voice was still low, and the communication signal could only be transmitted for two kilometers.

But it was enough, and the first to receive the public signal was not Old John but Nuel, who was much closer. He also knew Hong Tao, and he was quite happy, but he was a little sad about the loss of the spaceship.

"Hurry up and find a way to get my escape pod up, now that the mining team is not making money, planetary gathering is a good deal. You'll be able to buy a new ship in a few more years, and we'll go mining together then." Seeing this familiar and unfamiliar face, Hong Tao was 100% down-to-earth, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming!" Not to mention Hong Tao's nonsense, Anhaka and Old John can coax Nuel around, as soon as he heard that there was a new spaceship, the bearded man ran away happily, he didn't even turn off the communicator, and his bare hairy ass could be seen on the virtual screen.

"Don Taisi, who are you and who are you" Since the Mole entered the atmosphere, the Empress felt that she was only one step away from death, and these few minutes were like years.

I finally arrived at the surface of the planet safely, and before I had time to rejoice, I found that the spaceship was stuck under the ice and couldn't move, and it seemed to be a little far away from death, but if it was all death in the end, what was the difference between early death and late death.

For someone on the verge of death, the sudden knowledge that help is coming is imminent can leave nine out of ten minds blank. But she really didn't, listened carefully to the details of the call, and immediately discovered the key points.
