Chapter 65: March
"Tomorrow is the day we really set off, and the chosen target is directly below this big hole. The height of the hole is 600 meters, and the maximum width is about 800 meters, and scientists have found a missing hole that protrudes into the inner ring. ”
In the combat conference room, Yu Yifeng pointed to the schematic diagram of the ruins of the flying saucer and said.
"Because there may still be energy in the inner ring of the flying saucer, we still use the method of robot open circuit. A large number of robots will be the first to find their way ahead, and we will follow them all the way from behind, and when we find something valuable, we will dismantle it......"
Speaking of this, Yu Yifeng's face became serious: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock on time, everyone brings their own equipment, I won't say much about the specific division of labor, everyone understands, right?" ”
The people below nodded in unison.
The members of the entire squad are captain Yu Yifeng, Calvin the Prophet, Zhao Yao, heavy fireman, Shen Jie, sniper, Zhang Jun, demoman, as well as a medical soldier, a hacker, and three engineers responsible for dismantling.
The personnel are relatively simple, but each has its own usefulness, and it can be said that all of them are indispensable.
"When the operation starts tomorrow, everything will be under my command. I don't know what's in the UFO, but I will definitely be responsible for everyone and put life safety first. This is my promise! ”
"You must also strictly abide by military discipline, don't panic when you encounter danger, and show some military ethics! Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Good...... Disband! ”
Nothing was said all night.
All the special forces members are veterans of the battlefield, and the recruits selected are also one in a hundred. Although they were a little excited, they could barely force themselves to rest.
Calvin was forced to pull in. He sensed that the operation might be dangerous, and at first he was a little reluctant, but he couldn't resist the order...... In the end, I can only accept it peacefully.
At half past seven the next morning, everyone gathered at their assigned location, dressed and ready to hit the road.
Under everyone's gaze, the rovers the size of buses drove down from the elevator, and in front of the huge Noah spacecraft, they were as small as ants.
However, it is this ant that is about to challenge the unknown alien civilization on behalf of mankind......
"Let's go!" With Yu Yifeng's order, all the Mars rovers began to move forward steadily.
The Martian landscape is a bit like the loess slopes on Earth, rough and silent, orange at a glance, but the soil here is more red and desolate than the loess slopes.
Yu Yifeng sat in the car, and for no reason he had a sense of pride, although the sense of crisis in his heart was not eliminated, he suddenly had a magical sense of excitement, which is the most primitive desire of human beings to explore......
He had a feeling that the rise of a new human civilization might be in this expedition......
This is the technology of the future, the technology of the future that surpasses human beings by hundreds or thousands of years...... No matter what, they have to grasp it!
He saw Calvin in a daze, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "How is it, do you perceive anything?" ”
Calvin shook his head, he had prophesied many times these days, and each time it was an endless light...... It's just so inexplicable.
In fact, the success rate of his prophetic ability is only about 50%, and he does not succeed every time, it may be that he misunderstood the meaning of the image, or it may be some other reason.
But like Yu Yifeng, he also has a sense of crisis, but he is secretly vigilant.
In this way, time passed slowly, and it was not until more than an hour later that the rover slowed down. By this time, the caravan was approaching the edge of the UFO ruins.
"Okay, now we have entered the basin dug by the automatic excavator, there are still about twenty kilometers of road, everyone put on your space helmets, everything you need to prepare is ready......"
Everyone responded in understanding, and put on their gear.
As the UFO got closer and closer, everyone's heartbeat became more and more intense, even the elite veterans of Zhao Yao, Shen Jie, and Zhang Jun were beating hard, and their palms were slightly sweaty.
Followed by...... Yu Yifeng suddenly felt a deep malice, a strange intuition that was extremely subtle: danger! Extremely dangerous!
The hairs on Yu Yifeng's back stood up, and he felt that there was an extreme malice glancing at them.
At this moment, the green tendons on his forehead popped up one by one!
But this feeling is only for a short second, and then it disappears in an instant, like an illusion......
"Captain!" Zhao Yao found that Yu Yifeng's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly shouted.
"Calvin! Do you feel any danger? Yu Yifeng came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted loudly.
Calvin's heart was also pounding, sweating profusely, and his eyes were staring out, "I...... I ......"
He found that he didn't seem to be able to predict it, no matter what, he couldn't enter that mysterious state!
"No, I can't feel anything, my ability to predict seems to be blocked!" The sweat on his face rolled down his cheeks, and this was the first time this had happened.
Yu Yifeng frowned tightly and thought silently for a while...... What's going on?
He inquired carefully, and except for himself and Calvin, who felt obviously, the rest of them ...... I only feel slightly uncomfortable, and if I don't remind you, I don't even feel too much!
Just run away in disgrace? No...... After hesitating for a long time, he still ordered. "Keep going! Let's go check it out! ”
After a while, the group came to the bottom of the hole in the flying saucer, which was full of metal ruins, and the contents were badly damaged. According to scientists, it was supposed to be an engine room, but it was destroyed by a powerful weapon.
Yu Yifeng took out a military flashlight and shone it up for a while, and there was indeed a black hole at a height of three hundred meters, leading to the inside!
He thought about it carefully, withdrew from the hole again, and waved his hand back, "Don't rush first, carry out the dismantling task around the perimeter!" ”
Several engineers nodded and immediately got busy, while the rest held weapons and were in charge of guarding.
Among these rovers, except for the first one, which is manned, the next few are engineering vehicles with various machinery on them. Several engineers began to operate various machines, dismantling the pipe-like metal around the flying saucer.
According to experts, these pipelines are space weapons or some kind of communication device. Some of them are very damaged, but some of them are well preserved, and even the circuitry inside is mostly half-intact.
Each time one is removed, the scientists on board the Noah cheer loudly, and they also keep an eye on several members of the expedition according to the surveillance.
Today's robots do this kind of flexible work, far less efficient than humans.
Since the surface of the flying saucer is full of large tear holes, as long as you cut along these openings, the disassembly work is also very smooth. After about six hours, 13 major demolition missions were successfully completed without any danger.
This also made Yu Yifeng breathe a sigh of relief, just with these dismantled things, they couldn't be regarded as a trip in vain.
The group returned to the rover, ate something, rested for a while, and then walked under the hole.
"Captain, if it's really dangerous, let's go back first?" Sniper Shen Jie licked his lips, he was not afraid, but he trusted Yu Yifeng's intuition very much.
Yu Yifeng shook his head, it was not his style to retreat because he sensed some danger. He knows the old saying: risk and benefit are always proportional.
If there is really energy in it, there must be more complete and complete equipment!
"I'll go up first, and you'll watch from below!"
He watched carefully for a moment, and did not hesitate any longer. First, he took out a climbing rope, stuffed an iron climbing hook into the spring launcher, aimed it at the metal rod protruding from above, and shot it out with a "whoosh".
Because the gravity of Mars is relatively low, the hook also shoots extremely high, and it circles around the metal rod a few times, and it is firmly stuck.
Yu Yifeng pulled the rope and pulled it vigorously a few times, feeling that there was no problem, and then jumped up.
Rope climbing is a necessary skill for soldiers, because there is no help under his feet, Yu Yifeng can only use the method of "empty-handed guidance" to climb up in the air. This method requires the arms, abdomen and legs to exert force at the same time, which is very demanding on the physique.
Under normal circumstances, the competition in the army is only about 20 meters high. And now he has to climb 300 meters!
Shen Jie, Zhao Yao and the others stared nervously at the hole, and the muzzle of the gun was firmly aimed at Yu Yifeng.
Fortunately, the gravity of Mars is only one-third of that of Earth, and the weight has been reduced a lot, and the physical requirements are much lower. After about five minutes, Yu Yifeng climbed to the top.
He jumped onto a small platform of ten square meters, quietly looked at the hole, waited quietly, held the Gauss rifle tightly in his hand, and would not hesitate to shoot at the slightest movement.
After a long while, Yu Yifeng confirmed that it was safe, waved the flashlight down, and said in the earphone: "You use the rope to lift the crane, I'll pull it up first!" ”
Then, with his back to the hole, he struggled to pull a small crane up. This period of time is the most dangerous, and he can only be distracted, pulling the rope while paying attention to the movement behind him.
Fortunately, during this period of time, nothing happened, which couldn't help but make Yu Yifeng a little surprised, was he suspicious......
