Chapter 2: The First Day of Landing
Annette is a serious expert in biology and virology, and when it comes to surveying a planet for substances that are harmful to the human body, she probably has more say than Star-Lord's.
The first landing team, led by Ethan, set foot on the Purple Star with teleportation magic.
The air detection concluded that the air on this planet could be breathed directly, but neither Star-Lord nor Ethan had the fool to land without using any protective gear.
All of the members donned their battle suits, and Ethan gave Gamora and Star-Lord their new outfits.
This is a multi-functional suit that can be used in battle or simply as a spacesuit.
In addition to the innermost tight-fitting clothing, some special equipment can also be installed at the same time as the armor plate, such as a small oxygen supply device, although this equipment does not seem to be large or heavy, but it can ensure 24 hours of oxygen consumption under heavy exercise.
At the same time, there is not only one 'oxygen cylinder' in this small oxygen supply device, and it can be easily replaced, and everyone has enough space to prop, so it can be said that everyone here does not have to worry about oxygen problems.
Only the Treant Groot has not changed his outfit here, and according to Rocket Raccoon, Groot can adapt to most planetary environments and does not need protective equipment at all.
Star-Lord likes this set of equipment very much, especially the 'module' design that can be adjusted according to different situations, which is very much in line with his preferences.
"Aside from the all-black color, I thought the outfit was perfect. ”
"The black color is designed to take into account night battles and infiltration, so that it is easy to hide through the darkness of the night. ”
Star-Lord nodded, black wasn't a disadvantage in the first place, he mentioned that color was just a personal preference.
After tinkering with the suit for a while, although this suit does not have a helmet, the whole suit will form a layer of energy that completely wraps the head - so the absence of a helmet does not mean that the head is not protected.
At the same time, a hologram is generated in front of the user, allowing the user to see the data and current condition of the suit, and even some physical state data of the user.
The data is only visible to the user, similar to a projection (psychic link?) onto the pupil - Ethan can't tell if the technology is technology or magic, maybe it's a mixture.
Resisting the urge to continue his research, Star-Lord struggled to turn his attention back to the planet.
"Let's start with a makeshift camp here. ”
The place where they landed was on the plain between the purple ocean and the dense primeval forest, which was relatively open, and there was nothing to obscure the view.
The milky white ground was soft to step on, and when they looked at it from the sky, they thought it was a beach, but when they stepped on it, they realized that it was actually mud mixed with gravel.
Annette crouched down and pulled for a while, picking up some of the top stones, revealing the softer dirt underneath—still milky white.
"It's a big open place, and if something suddenly appears, we can see it and react to it in time. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and safety is paramount on a strange planet.
Even Rocket Raccoon, who usually likes to raise the bar with Star-Lord the most, didn't raise any objections at this time, he walked around the clearing, all the while looking at the forest not far away, thinking about how to set up defensive positions - Rocket Raccoon is very good at setting up all kinds of traps.
"Let's go, Groot, let's go around and set up some early warning devices. ”
Logan habitually wanted to get another one, and when he took it out, he realized that he had an energy layer on his head, and was in a state of absolute isolation (all the conversations were through the external amplifier or communication device on the clothing), and at this time he had no way to smoke the cigar, so he had to put it away again.
"I'll go with you. ”
Star-Lord and Annette are mainly responsible for the survey of various data, Gamora is the deputy of Star-Lord, and Ethan has to keep an eye on everyone's situation at all times and take everyone away in time if necessary.
Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Logan are here as combatants.
Rocket Raccoon has a wealth of experience in space adventures, Groot can adapt to almost any environment, Logan has a terrifying ability to survive, and the planet's exuberant vitality is suitable for him to use his increasingly powerful druid abilities.
There are these three people, in fact, even if they encounter something, I'm afraid it won't be these people who are unlucky.
As for Nebula, she's just following her to make soy sauce...... Or rather, to give Ethan a deputy.
Of course, he didn't really come to serve tea and pour water to do chores, for example, Ethan was asking Nebula about space travel at this moment, and he also wanted to learn some theoretical knowledge of various spacecraft piloting.
Although there are many differences in the spaceships built by different civilizations, some things are generally universal, especially in today's world, when the major civilizations in the galaxy are already familiar with each other, many things have fixed standards, so even if they have not been in contact with the spaceship at all, for some veterans, a little research can know how to operate.
"This is a completely different universe from mine, and maybe it has completely different rules?"
In addition, the spaceship that Ethan was about to retrieve was from another universe, and she didn't know what the operating system of that spaceship looked like.
"Then talk about something other than driving. ”
The operation is not easy to teach, but some knowledge in astronautics is universal.
Because of the particularity of Nebula's body, it can not only be explained orally, but also can be demonstrated with various images - the cyborg can play holographic images, which allows Ethan to better grasp these completely unfamiliar new knowledge.
Ethan was learning new things, while Annette was busy taking samples from the ground, nearby plants, and the sea, and then took out a simple workbench from her storage space and tested them in the same way.
Logan and Rocket Raccoon had come back after a long turn, they had set up some simple warning devices and traps nearby, although they didn't see any signs of creature in a circle, and Logan didn't sense any creature nearby, but they didn't feel that their actions were unnecessary.
Even Logan, who has never been on a space adventure, is an experienced veteran and understands that survival depends on whether you are more cautious than others - although most of the time he is immortal.
Star-Lord also took out the detection equipment and collected all kinds of data, judging from the data obtained so far, this planet is a very good habitable star, and even Annette has detected that the composition of the purple sea is water containing a variety of 'nutrients'.
"What does that mean?"
Annette didn't look up, but continued to be busy with her work, taking the time to explain her various test results to Ethan.
"There are a lot of microorganisms in the sea, which is why the water looks purple, but it's not sure if there are only these microbes in this ocean, or if there are more 'advanced' organisms in the ocean. ”
Ethan nodded, if this is the case, it cannot be ruled out that there is already intelligent life on this planet, even if there is no civilization, there may be primitive tribes or large beasts and other creatures.
The best outcome is that life has just been born on this planet, and these beings have not yet had time to evolve into more advanced intelligent beings.
He never only thought about things for the best, he began to think that since this world has all the basis for life, maybe he will meet some local natives?
If you are lucky, you are a primitive indigenous or simply a beast, and if you are unlucky, you have formed a unique civilization, but there is no civilization level that is relatively low, so you have not found a training ground that surrounds this purple star like a satellite.
After explaining Annette's discovery to the rest of the group, Rocket Raccoon said that he would place a few more traps around, and that he would make them more secretive considering the possibility of intelligent life.
Ethan and Nebula began to lay out some infrastructure, they had to work on the planet for a while, and they needed a minimum place to live, after all, Ethan couldn't send them back to the spaceship to rest every day - not to mention that there were too many people on the spaceship now, and everyone was not very comfortable.
According to Ethan's plan, if nothing unexpected happens, everyone will be brought to the planet one after another, and then live on this planet together for a period of time, which can be regarded as experiencing the situation on this planet firsthand.
"Annette, put things away first, I'm going to start building the house. ”
The so-called building of a house is to take out the space house (similar to the building of the Martian) that Tony specially purchased from his own space.
Because Ethan's storage capacity has increased, large buildings like this can be placed directly in the space, and they can be used directly when needed.
As for this special house, he specially asked Tony to buy it, and then assembled it in advance and put it in the space, otherwise it would not take so many days to simply fill the basic materials for Star-Lord's spaceship.
With a wave of Ethan's hand, a white building often seen in the film appears out of thin air.
The interior of the building has an independent air circulation system, and Tony has specially installed some equipment, and the exterior is also protected by an energy layer to prevent the invasion of unknown microorganisms.
So when resting in the house, everyone can take off their protective equipment and go about all their daily activities – the laboratory where the samples are tested is in a separate area with a dedicated entrance.
After completing some initial arming and sample collection work, everyone entered the only 'safe house' for repairs, and the first day of landing on Purple Star passed so uneventfully.
