Chapter 265: Arrival and Quest Begins
"Hmph......" Wen Yu glanced at the ceiling proudly, and his eyes rolled a few times: "It's not difficult to guess, the story of this universe is very big, but what happens on this planet is very simple." The Titans are tasked with either killing all humans and sending the remaining Titans on a journey to destroy Earth, or to strangle the possibility of creating aliens...... I guess it's a three-group scuffle, not two teams against one. ”
"Makes sense." Mao Dong looked at Wen Yu, and didn't know whether he was admiring her beautiful face or listening to her, but quickly looked away: "But we have to be prepared for the worst first, assuming that the Titan and the Alien Reincarnation cooperate and are waiting for us on the ground at the moment to send them to the door, what should we do?" ”
"First, can we convince the captain to change the landing location and stay away from the research base of the five Titans?" Zhang Haolin touched his chin and said that in the face of a completely unknown enemy, he really didn't know what to do, so he could only rack his brains and think: "After all, if they are sent to the surface of the planet by the main god, they can't be 108,000 miles away from the place where the plot happened." ”
"But it's not like just appearing directly at the landing site of the spacecraft......" Mao Dong also couldn't come up with a valuable plan of action, he was good at dealing with people, and he was not much better than ordinary people when dealing with other intelligent beings who had never seen it: "The mission is likely to be related to those bases, if we land too far away, we will miss the opportunity to complete the mission...... That's troublesome, and my advice is to be vigilant when landing and be ready for battle at all times. ”
"Also, we probably can't avoid dealing with those guys, don't hide, and when the ship lands, we'll keep an eye on the wheelhouse, ready to deal with everything. Even to abandon the ship and run away, did everyone take the spacesuit. ”
"Hmm."
"Who's going to bring Gu Long's set to him?" Zhang Haolin looked at Cai Tingting: "You know him best, you can go." ”
"No......" the woman waved her hand nervously: "I don't want to go." ”
"Ani, you go and send this set to that guy - forget it, I'll do it later." The little girl may not mind running an errand for him, but it will not be easy for her simple-minded to run away if she is deceived by another person. "If the spacecraft is attacked before landing. Then follow me into a spacesuit and skydive, the things produced by the main god are much more functional than the things on this ship. ”
"Hmm."
"And once we land safely, the air of this planet will not do much harm to us with high cell vitality, we can move freely as we do on the earth, whatever the main god gives us, we will do, if we can get it and leave before we meet other reincarnators, then it will be better......" Zhang Haolin looked at the vibrating contact: the spacecraft will land in half an hour, and the captain asked all members to fasten their seat belts in advance. Don't be nervous if you meet other reincarnators. Take saving your life as the first priority, first understand the opponent's fighting style, and then plan to counterattack. ”
"Yes."
――
Zhang Haolin went to Gu Long's dormitory across a corridor and handed over the spacesuit to the team member who was not a team member.
Except for the basic exchange, the two sides didn't say a few words, one was full of hatred in his heart but didn't dare to show it, and the other was that he had a killing intent but didn't want to do it openly...... I don't know if Gu Long's heart at this moment regrets that he didn't give in to the veteran as decisively as Cai Tingting? But even now he pulled down his face to show his willingness to fit in with the team. The others didn't dare to accept him anymore.
Before they had time to prepare, the ship had already skimmed over the massive gas planet. Entering the landing orbit of the LV_223 satellite, the Prometheus's hull began to flutter in subtle increments under the influence of the gradually dense atmosphere and the strong gravitational pull of the solid-state planet, with the result that the entire spacecraft was shrouded in a slight dull background sound...... The crew finally intuitively felt that they were not down to earth.
……
The re-entry phase is about to begin. At the end of the twenty-first century, space technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past few decades, and the landing on such a solid planet with a mass smaller than the Earth no longer entails great danger...... But even so. It is extremely rare for such a large spacecraft with dozens of people and a large amount of supplies to land directly on a medium-mass solid planet: spaceships of the same size or larger are generally parked in synchronous orbits, using shuttles and space elevators for personnel and cargo unloading, and directly entering the atmosphere requires extremely high structural strength of the spacecraft, and small spaceships can easily meet the standards, and large spaceships will greatly increase production costs if they want to do so......
Fortunately, the Welland Company has deep pockets, and Prometheus is more than capable of this task.
"Attention everyone, it's the captain talking, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to enter." The black captain's deep voice came from overhead, this was a very critical moment, relying on the text message reminder of the liaison was not enough, it had to be broadcast in the form of a ship-wide broadcast to get everyone's attention.
Outside the window, the LV_223's body quickly occupied the entire field of vision, because it had reached the edge of the atmosphere, the crew could only see a very small arc outline of the planet, a few hours ago the overwhelming gaseous planet has turned into a large black disk on the cosmic background that obscures the light of the stars, although it is still huge, but it can no longer compete with its petite but close to the reincarnators in terms of visual effect, after more than two years of flight, the Prometheus finally arrived at its destination.
"Let's go, all to the cab."
The group hurried to the cockpit, at this time, the ship's pilots and technicians were all gathered here to start preparations for the landing, although all of them were well-trained and experienced, but it was the first time for most people to carry out a planetary landing of this scale, all of them stared nervously at their workbenches, looking up out the window from time to time, exchanging data obtained by the spacecraft.
"Hey, guys, fasten your seatbelts!" The captain looked at Zhang Haolin and his party and shouted dissatisfiedly, but as the spacecraft penetrated the outer atmosphere and plunged headlong into the clouds of this satellite, he had no time to care about others.
The spaceship began to shake slightly, even such a large creature weighing dozens of tons could not compete with the atmospheric activity of the entire planet, and the vision outside the porthole quickly blurred, and only a flash of lightning could be seen flashing in the clouds not far away from time to time.
The ship began to slow down more violently. The artificial gravity system was turned off, and everyone was instantly lightened, and the reincarnators who were standing relied on their agility to quickly regain their balance...... The ship passed through the clouds, and a towering mountain appeared in the sky like a pillar of the sky, so high that the ship was still several kilometers above the ground. It's already time to look up at its peak. Such a landscape cannot exist on Earth, and when the mountains grow to a certain height, they will collapse under the action of gravity, and this satellite is slightly smaller than the Earth, which can give birth to such majestic mountains.
"It's a great altitude...... Oh my God, 52,000 feet, Mount Everest can only look like a baby in front of it! The middle-aged female crew member exclaimed in amazement, sharing the amazing data with the rest of the crew.
Zhang Haolin walked to the porthole and looked down, his thumb holding the ring tightly. Once he finds out that something is wrong, he will immediately take out his spacesuit and put it on, break through the walls of the spaceship, and escape directly with the reincarnations!
"Well, then let's descend," said the captain lightly, "and we'll take the foot of that mountain as our landing point." ”
"The topographic map is out, there are a few hard pieces of ground over there, there may be metal ......"
Everything is developing as in the original plot, the majestic mountain is higher than Mount Everest, but it is not on a plateau several thousand meters above sea level, and the height of the spaceship drops rapidly. Passing over the surface of the planet, the plains are wide and vast...... The terrain changes slightly, undulating and undulating. But there was no one to be seen.
At this moment, a string of tasks also jumped out.

"Looks like no one is home." The biologist said with a gloating tone: "Creator, engineer, haha......"
No one returned the favor, the spaceship's scanning system had been activated, and the reincarnations' mental scanning and magnetic sensing had begun to run at full speed, but there was no movement on the planet's ground or in the air, just like the plot of the original movie.
"There is no signal, and there is no heat source." A co-pilot informed.
"There are no spiritual signals either, not at least for three or four kilometers." Wen Yu also reported the same in his spirit.
Zhang Haolin's magnetic induction range is only a few hundred meters, so there is no need to say it and pretend to be forced.
"We go through that passage and are ready to land!" The captain had already begun to carry out the final operations before landing, and at this moment, the descent of the ship was already almost irreversible.
"So, we just need to land in the original location quickly, get out the corpses of the Titans, and then quickly drive these crew members back to Earth, and then destroy all five Titan military bases, and the main mission will be completed?"
"There are several ways to eliminate the threat of the Titan military base to the Earth - destroy all the spaceships, destroy all the biological and chemical weapons in the spaceship, and kill all the Titans who may activate the spaceship." Zhang Haolin stared intently at the direction of the spacecraft, and said without relaxation: "Let's not discuss it for now, let's wait until we land safely." ”
Nothing happened, everything was as the plot of the movie developed, the ship's terrain scan found traces of the Titan military base and the roads around them, in the face of such obvious signs of intelligent life activity, the captain decisively turned course, advanced towards these ruins, started the landing sequence, and slowly descended.
100 m ...... 50 m ...... 20 m ...... 10 m ......
Without any external attack or any trace of the other two teams of reincarnators, the ship landed safely and unscathed, facing the five bioweapon depots and ship hangars left behind by the Titans.
"Captain, can I trouble you...... Get the search team dressed up and join us in the air chamber? The smoke and dust from the ship's landing had not yet cleared, and Dr. Holloway was already preparing to get out of the capsule for an expedition.
"It's still six hours before it gets dark......"
"Even if it's dark in two hours, you'll have to go first." Wen Yu said to the captain, quietly using the ability of hypnosis: "Hurry up, we can't waste time!" ”
"Oh...... All right. ”
"Very well, today, we will get the Christmas presents." Holloway glanced appreciatively at the beautiful girl who easily persuaded the captain, turned her head and walked to the other side of the spaceship: "David, you come with us!" ”
"It's an honor."
"Let's go, too." Zhang Haolin said solemnly in his spirit: "Discuss while walking, if you can send this large number of ordinary people back before you meet other reincarnators, then it will be the best." ”
Search teams, convoys, and reincarnators all began to wear equipment...... While watching the movie, Zhang Haolin scoffed at the act of rushing out of the spaceship to die as soon as he landed on the ground, but now, he has also become part of a group of people who are in a hurry.
――
"Why don't you wear the company's standard spacesuit...... Wait, where did you get all this from? The reincarnators put on the costumes of the main god and quickly attracted inquiries from the other crew members.
"These of us are combat suits, combat spacesuits." Wen Yu didn't need Zhang Haolin's reminder, and easily eliminated all the doubts of the other crew members in one sentence. "Don't ask pointless questions, okay?"
"Fight, what about your weapons?"
"The ship's flamethrower...... Hey, get some more flamethrowers. ”
"It's just a scientific expedition, no weapons are needed."
"If something attacks you in that place, in what language are you going to tell it that you're a scientist?" Mao Dong unceremoniously sarcastically mocked the heroine, and took the flamethrower: "In addition to English, you can speak several languages, do you think one of them will be universal in the universe?" ”
"Mr. Willand said that I and Dr. Holloway were in charge of this operation, and I exercised command: leave the weapons behind." Dr. Sean stopped what he was doing and stared at the reincarnators solemnly.
"Stop talking nonsense, take it with you." Wen Yu became impatient, and the coquettish drink mixed with mental impact easily caused a final effect, interrupting this unnutritious conversation: "Hurry up, I hope to come back before dark!" ”
