Chapter 38: Harvest (1)

Dark clouds rolled and the atmosphere churned, the sky covered with mushroom clouds burned in a raging electromagnetic flare, and the arc of electricity soared into the sky from the wreckage of the damaged transmitting antenna of the wireless transmission system, like the mournful cry of the dying machinery on the LV-426 colony star. Tortured by unimaginably complex mechanisms that fill the air with piercing static, this small colony star, which has only been in development for only 60 years, is on its way to complete destruction.

The traces of what humanity once transformed on this astral body have been completely reduced to the remains of a kind of tragedy, with vast mines melting, mountains of refineries collapsing, and fusion power centers that once powered industry now destroying them. The atmospheric transformation center and the primary residential area, which were originally intended to transform this place into a habitable environment for human beings, were reduced to scrap metal in the flash of a nuclear explosion! And all this is just to get rid of some of the 'not huge pests' and the original 'fragile colonists' who have died and decided to abandon this place completely. The filthy storm roared all around, mixed with the harsh electromagnetic noise around it, as if to vent the bitter and angry condemnation of outsiders on this planet!

Wang Bu was strolling leisurely in this unimaginable terrifying hell at this time! This is despite the fact that he is dressed in a futuristic high-performance spacesuit of this era and has radiation resistance that far exceeds that of similar equipment in the 21st century. But at the moment, walking in this environment where the radiation index is close to 898 microsieverts, because the equipment on his body is not the top in this era. Ordinary people will still fall into a coma due to high radiation within ten minutes, and if they do not quickly accept the advanced medical methods of this era, they will die tragically from the cancerous transformation of the whole body cells. Fortunately, he is no longer an 'ordinary person', not only in his mind, but also in terms of physical index. Whether it is the nano machine in his body or the physical function that broke through the transformation level not long ago, it is enough to resist this kind of high-risk radiation that is enough to make ordinary people die violently in a short period of time, not to mention that he also has spiritual energy, after experiencing the impact and tempering of the spiritual projection with the alien mother, he can obviously feel that his spiritual energy seems to have stepped into a deeper realm! Now, without any prior preparation or delicate psionic manipulation, the unconscious state can be projected into a tough psionic protective film around him. With a layer of acceptable quality of the 22nd century spacesuit, except for the electromagnetic noise that shines from time to time outside, it is a little stinging.

"Finally, the quality of this spacesuit is okay, at least the internal life-sustaining circulation system and detection equipment can still work normally!" Wang Bu walked calmly on a mountainous terrain with rugged terrain while carefully looking at the inherent variables of the peripheral modified radioactive crosswind and continuous magnetic field displayed on the helmet projection data sheet in front of him. In short, he doesn't have to pay attention to what he is doing now, just now he specially found an angle to look at the former colony, but there is already a pile of scrap iron embers and ruins, and the solid alloy beams are curled like a ball of steel wool that is fused, deformed, and entangled. The electromagnetic murmur resembles the wild squall of a miniature dust storm, and the noisy communication reception channel echoes with the screams of a storm and the random detonation of unstable chemical residues. Ultraviolet rays poured from between the steel bones of the roof, and the radioactive dust floating in the air blurred his eyepiecesโ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” which looked like they would have to be cleaned properly when they went.

For some reason, he rarely had some leisure this time. After roaming around the thin strips to appreciate the old plot site of "Alien 2", he enjoyed the surrounding scenery; While approaching the target area. The hot winds that carried the poison and radiation howled around him, making the area uninhabitable or repaired by ordinary techniques for thousands of years. All traces of human existence were gone, leaving only the shimmering and eerie plains and the accumulation of poisonous dust on the surface, and the mushroom clouds that had not yet dissipated not so long ago filled this fragile man-made atmosphere with endless fire, and its shock waves rumbled through the atmosphere. Caustic tornadoes of heavy metals wreak havoc in the ruins of nightmarish nuclear explosions, and lightning storms roar in chaotic electromagnetic conditions.

Everything is such a hideous and terrible hellish scene that ordinary people seem! But for some reason, Wang Bu walked here alone, but he felt more at ease and calm than in the bustling city. Maybe it had something to do with something that had been pressing deep in his mind after that 'rebirth in hell'. Or maybe he took it as an indicator of some kind of action in the future, looking at the fool who caused all this tragedy! It's just their own stupidity and incompetence that caused this tragedy! Ignoring the tragedy of his own vulnerability and powerlessness, he has learned enough lessons at his own terrible cost. Therefore, for him, self-improvement of knowledge and strength is all his pursuit in the future of life, and all other distractions are just a kind of sad bubble like the souls drifting in the dead dust here! Wang Bu said to himself with a somewhat self-deprecating sneer. For some reason, after knowing that he had inadvertently touched the hidden boss of the alien plane, a stronger sense of crisis began to strongly stimulate his already tense insecurity.

Fortunately, the target was found at this time! Its appearance is quite distinct and easy to recognize, even in the case of this kind of nuclear storm poisonous dust, the twisted bagel shape that seems to have been gnawed off is still easy for Wang Bu to recognize at a glance. It seemed that in the psionic senses, the thing had lost its energy vitality. It's like a dead and silent remains! But he still had some kind of instinct that it was obvious that 'this thing' wasn't completely dead. Besides, even if it's really dead and silent! There was enough stuff left on it to refine the clues he could have for studying alien technology! Or a rather collectible souvenir~~~

Wang Bu stretched out the palm of his right hand, pressed the rough surface of the 'Space Jockey Spacecraft', and smiled knowingly after sensing some hidden fluctuations on the surface. A rough estimate of the diameter is about 400 meters. With the equipment capacity of the cargo ship on standby, it is impossible to salvage and transport it, and the conventional technical means also take too long, which is easy to leave behind. Soโ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” as he suddenly took his own further psionic energy to envelop the entire spaceship's range, a phase shift! Suddenly, this once behemoth disappeared in an instant. It's like a mirage that never existed!

After Wang Bu felt a little detached sadness again, he took a sip of energy replenishment drink with the built-in straw of his helmet and turned on the laser communication channel to contact the spacecraft: "Aso! I've got it done here, and I'll be back right away. You have the 'cleaning device' on the ship ready, I may need to 'rinse' it when I get back, and then we'll talk about where to go next in this plane." He then strode towards his solo landing capsule
