Chapter 5 Reconnaissance Terrain
At night, Jiang Feng had a dream.
He dreamed that his Shuttle had been overrun by a group of natives dressed in grass skirts and armed with spears. The bullets ran out, and then he ran and ran through the forest, and finally tripped over the vines, and just as he struggled to get up, a familiar face appeared before his eyes.
And then ......
And then he woke up.
Sitting up from the bed, Jiang Feng suddenly found that he was already soaked with sweat.
"It turned out to be a nightmare."
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Jiang Feng jumped off the bed, and after a simple wash, he went downstairs to the kitchen.
Breakfast is crocodile meat fried with wild fruits, and the sourness blends perfectly into the tender meat, which is generally good. The fly in the ointment is that three meals in a row are crocodile meat, and it is no surprise that it is also at noon, although eating this crocodile meat has great benefits for the body, but he is almost a little tired.
The rain outside has stopped, and today is a good day to get out and explore.
After briefly dealing with breakfast, Jiang Feng then went to the bridge, looked at the fresh water tank filled on the holographic screen, and turned off the rain collector.
Turned around and walked into the shower to take a shower, put on the crocodile leather suit that he had sewn on the workbench yesterday, and the carbon nano protective suit was worn by him closely. After finally checking the equipment in his backpack, Jiang Feng left the Shuttle and explored the past towards the nearby mountains.
After the rain, the air is unusually fresh.
Beautiful, but equally comes with danger.
Using his short knife to split through the vines at his feet, he carefully guarded every bush. About half an hour after leaving the Shuttle, he had seen the venomous snake prostrate on the trunk of the tree twice, and once he saw a four-legged beast three meters long, as strong as an ox, with fangs in its mouth.
Unsure of the danger of the animal, he didn't act rashly, and waited for the monster called the [Steel-toothed Beast] by the Brain to pass away before moving on.
Finally, Jiang Feng walked out of this jungle and touched the nearby hills.
To be precise, it is a valley with a U-shaped opening facing the sea and a back slope facing the land. Looking down from the mountain, you can see several bipedal birds wandering on the beach, looking for something on the beach.
Leaning against the rocks and resting for a while, Jiang Feng unscrewed the kettle and poured a few sips, then took out the binoculars from his backpack and aimed them in the direction of the Flying Shuttle.
"Two kilometers in a straight line...... Did you go this way? ”
It was only two kilometers, but it walked from early morning to noon.
Shaking his head, Jiang Feng magnified the magnification of the telescope, and his eyes continued to rise.
"Brain, scan the map of this area."
【Syncing】
The light blue text was projected on the retina, and Jiang Feng raised the telescope and looked around the mountain at a constant speed. Then he went around to the other side of the valley and did it all over again.
In this way, a panoramic map centered on the hill at Jiang Feng's feet, covering a ten-kilometer radius, was quickly drawn.
It would be much more convenient if the Shuttle remained in synchronous orbit, and aerial photography of the entire planet would be fine, but now is clearly not the time to complain about bad luck.
Sitting on the ground, Jiang Feng retrieved the map he had just scanned through his brain, and carefully studied the nearby terrain.
"A river, a hill...... Is it a kilometer further north to the plains? Is there another hill further east? The coastline isn't very long, but hopefully it doesn't fall on a small island. ”
The place where the spacecraft fell was only two hundred meters away from the river in a straight line, and it happened to be in the triangle where the river and the hills met. Judging from the map alone, this area doesn't look like it is inhabited, thinking of this, Jiang Feng's mood is slightly depressed.
Shouting at the bottom of the mountain, listening to the shouts echoing in the valley, looking at the big birds fluttering their wings and being frightened on the beach, Jiang Feng stopped and looked into the distance for a while, then shook his head, packed up the backpack on the ground, and turned around and walked in the direction of the bottom of the mountain.
While studying the map, he carefully analyzed the topography of the area and finally settled on the shelter.
It is a low-altitude hill with steep slopes on three sides and gentle slopes on the other, making it unlikely that mudslides should occur in the unfortunate event of an earthquake. The gentle slope faces the only river in the area, and the river is a source of food.
In addition, it is not far from the spaceship, and the straight-line distance is only three or four hundred meters.
Such a feng shui treasure, Jiang Feng fell in love with it at a glance and marked a blue box on the map.
……
To be honest, establishing a colony in the subtropics is not a good choice, where the flora and fauna are aggressive and prone to disease. In most cases, the colonists of the Federation will choose the temperate or even cold regions of terrestrial planets to establish their first colonial outposts.
But it's a pity that Jiang Feng didn't have a choice.
On a trip back to the Shuttle, he made a logging axe out of the workbench.
This kind of workbench installed on spacecraft such as escape pods and exploration pods is generally equipped with a low-power 3D printer, so the operability coefficient is quite high. If the materials are sufficient, he can even use it to DIY an exoskeleton according to the drawings in the database, and then build a few low-tech but quite practical drones.
Unfortunately, materials are scarce, especially rare earths.
Unlike stardust printers, 3D printers can only change the order of molecules, and can interfere with chemical bonds only at the level of secondary bonds. In other words, you can't make gold artifacts out of silver, and you can't craft some specially structured hybrid materials.
But it's just a logging axe......
Obviously, there are not so many expensive materials that are needed.
Pale blue lines emerge in the air, and holograms outline steel axe blades and composite grips. Immediately after, the light blue light particles began to fill the middle of the hologram, Jiang Feng skillfully set the molecular and atomic ratio of each block, and then pressed the OK button.
The 3D printer on the right-hand side began to whine, and it wasn't long before the axe blade and grip lay on the 3D printer's discharge port.
Putting the axe blade and grip together, and fiddling with the axe, Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction.
As a pragmatist, although he has no words for low tailoring skills, he is still quite confident in building weapons and tools.
【Perfect】
For this finished product, Zhibrain has given the most objective evaluation.
Without stopping, Jiang Feng immediately used the workbench to make an [ordinary] level crocodile leather case and hung it behind his back to fix the axe. Then there are pots and pans, stoves, and tools that might be used to build a colony.
Considering that there were only two magazines left in the Galaxy K1, Jiang Feng also made himself a mechanical crossbow, as well as more than thirty crossbow arrows.
Looking at the bottoming mineral stock, Jiang Feng wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Looks like we'll have to find a way to open a mine.
Do you want to use the last stock to hit two pickaxes?
I really don't want to mine by myself......
If only I could trick two indigenous people into helping with mining.
