Chapter 42: The ...... of a Strong Breakthrough into the Atmosphere
Airbag meteors are rolling in the sky, and pedal skateboards are surfing in the air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whew...... Whew......
The sound in my ears is getting louder and louder, and the pressure sensor on the surface of my skin is also showing a faint reaction, because the air around me is getting denser and denser, which also means that it is getting closer and closer to the ground......
But in reality, it's still a long way off...... Xinglan watched as the horizon of the distant Lan Star bent into a distinct arc, dividing the heavens and the earth.
Begin...... It's a little hot.
As the density of the air continued to rise, Xinglan and the falling automaton not far away began to heat up under the friction of the air......
Although the air was very thin, Xinglan's speed at this time was too fast, and she was not in free fall, but jumped off the carrier plane that was close to the speed of the first universe.
It's getting hotter and hotter, and if it goes on like this, it's going to be a meteor and burn out!
No longer hesitating, Xinglan quickly pulled a thin thread on the bloated white clothes on her body, and in an instant, some of the chemicals in the clothes reacted quickly to produce a large amount of gas......
Boom!
The white clothes quickly inflated and expanded, and countless air sacs spread out in all directions, and finally formed a huge sphere that wrapped Xinglan in the center.
Although the sphere is white, it is almost transparent when unfolded, and you can clearly see the outside world. At the same time, the ball is made of a heat-resistant material that can withstand the intense friction of falling directly from space into the atmosphere.
Although it felt strange to be wrapped in countless transparent air bags, Xinglan was a robot body after all, so she ignored this little discomfort, she turned her head and saw that the automatic robot not far away also unfolded the protective ball.
Subconsciously moved to that side, Xinglan let out an exclamation, and the sky suddenly swirled in front of her, and the protective ball, which was barely balanced, suddenly tilted in a large circle after she moved slightly, and swayed left and right for a while before regaining balance.
Huh? Xinglan blinked her black eyes, since that was the case...... Let's play the game!
Let's try it out first.
……
A few minutes later, a strange sight appeared in the sky......
Two huge spheres with a diameter of tens of meters were falling rapidly, and the white surface of the spheres was emitting dazzling light due to the violent friction with the air.
One of the spheres honestly follows the path set by the mechanics, and the other ......
What kind of fuss is this guy rolling around all over the sky, hey!
"Hmph~ Miss Ben is really a genius!" Xinglan excitedly twisted left and right in the orb, performing some kind of incomprehensible dance, causing the entire protective ball to roll sideways under the influence of these forces......
If there were astronomers observing the sky at this time, he would definitely spew out all the food the day before yesterday because of this meteor that was rolling all over the sky like a billiard!
It's a pity that Lanxing at this time doesn't even have intelligent creatures, let alone astronomers, and those instinctive creatures don't know how to appreciate the beauty of meteors......
In the night hemisphere, it was very dark and dark, because it was in a chaotic state of rolling in all directions, coupled with the bright light generated by the friction of the outer air seriously obstructing the vision, Xinglan couldn't figure out the external situation of the protective ball at all, and even the protective ball where the automatic robot that fell together gradually couldn't see clearly.
Although the outer material is super heat-resistant, it cannot be compared to a spacecraft that can really take off repeatedly, and it soon begins to distort and deform......
Syllable!
The outermost airbag exploded due to the high temperature and the expansion of the gas, and the whole protective ball shook slightly, and the internal intact airbag continued to withstand the high temperature instead of the damaged airbag.
Xinglan closed her eyes, and her consciousness quickly connected to the signalns of outer space for global coordinates...... Calculate the exact value of the height drop.
Well, almost, after this period of deceleration, there is no need for a protective ball to fight against spacelanding-level friction.
With the light from the friction of the air, Xinglan reached out and grasped the other mechanism on her clothes, as the rolling sphere gradually balanced...... I pull!
Laugh at......
The moment Xinglan pulled the thin line, the connecting wires connecting the different airbags quickly fell apart, and the entire huge protective ball suddenly fell apart!
The wind is coming back......
With her arms outstretched, falling through the sky like a bird, Xinglan glanced up at the air sacs scattered in all directions, and as they left, they also took away almost all of the heat generated by the friction, and the friction caused by the altitude and speed that Xinglan was at at this time was no longer enough to produce the terrible temperature that could burn the object again.
After the airbag was separated, the white coat was no longer so bloated, but turned into a protective suit wrapped in a cushion ring, and there was a large backpack behind it.
Ah, that's right, that's a parachute.
But well...... Looking at the dark earth below, Xinglan showed a sly smile, it was not time yet.
If you fall like this now, you will only fall on barren land, and since Xinglan wants to explore life, it must at least be a coastal zone. So, the question arises, how do you move laterally in mid-air to ensure that you are close to the sea not far away?
The mountain people have their own clever plans~
Xinglan twisted her body in the air, gradually erecting her body, and then quickly bent down and pressed the special shoes she had changed into earlier.
Click......
The soles of the shoes made a mechanical sound, and a flat plate popped out, and Xinglan leaned on her legs, and with a click, connected the flat plates extending from the bottom of the two pairs of shoes, forming a snow-white long flat plate with a slight arc on both sides.
Hmph~ That's it! Xinglan stood up straight in the air, feeling the pressure under her feet, leaning forward slightly, and her body began to move forward rapidly.
Sky surfboard, done!
Although air is much less dense than water, the air below is squeezed by tremendous pressure due to its rapid fall at high altitudes, and it almost has the same liquid properties as water. In this case, surfing in the sky is absolutely feasible and quite fun!
As a result, Xinglan was stunned to turn a very serious planet landing into a hodgepodge of various game styles......
Of course, the crazy thing like the air surfboard is not enough to equip every autonomous underwater robot, those automatic underwater robots are just very regular by paragliding to adjust the landing position, and only Xinglan herself will play such an exciting activity.
It may seem crazy, but it's not dangerous. Surfing in the air is even safer than surfing in the ocean, firstly, there is no danger of suffocation, and secondly, there is no possibility of being swept away by the waves. In high-altitude surfing, the biggest cost of a mistake is to spin around and get your head dizzy...... Well, if the robot body is used, even the dizziness problem can be ignored directly, and it will not burst blood vessels because it can't withstand the ultra-high-speed rotation in the air like ordinary creatures......
Standing on the surfboard with her feet one in front of the other, her hands spread out to the sides to keep her balance, Xinglan didn't need a helmet or goggles, she just wore a snow-white coat and went straight to the sky at full speed, her long silver hair was blown by the wind and danced behind her head......
With the powerful computing power of the signal subnetwork, Xinglan said that the control of balance is completely stress-free, in fact, it is not difficult, as long as the balance talent is a little better, and if it is trained, even ordinary humans can play air surfing in this way.
After his body trembled slightly, his forward speed suddenly slowed down......
"Have you already broken away from the high-altitude jet stream and entered the gentle airflow area below......" Xinglan shook the surfboard under her feet again, maintaining her balance in the turbulence in the air next to her, her dark pupils dilated slightly, and several tiny sensing holes appeared that were invisible to the naked eye, "Efficient light collection, infrared sensing is turned on." ”
At this time, although the eye seems to have only one pupil, but in fact this pupil is only an illusion of pigment transformation, and what is really used to observe things is several sensing orifices with different functions, which can observe the changes of light in different bands, naturally, including infrared.
As soon as the infrared sensor is turned on, the dark world suddenly reveals its true face. From this height, you can already see the waves of the sea not far away.
Hawkers,The target is locked~
Seeing that there was not much distance left, Xinglan quickly reached behind her and pulled out her parachute.
With a hula, the wide white fabric unfolded behind Xing Lan, blown up by the wind, and Xing Lan only felt a huge pull from her body, and the momentum of her fall suddenly began to slow down......
Well, the speed slows down, and the pressure below is not enough to play sky surfing. However, instead of honestly putting away the surfboard under her feet, Xinglan stared closely at the approaching sea below...... Well, it's still useful.
Grabbing the parachute's control rope with both hands and gently pressing, the surface of the parachute above deformed, and Xinglan controlled the parachute to turn an angle and slowly descend in the direction of the beach.
It's still a bit tricky, because at night and because of the large specific heat capacity of the sea, the temperature on the sea surface is higher than on land, so the wind blowing from the land constantly tries to blow the parachute into the depths of the ocean, and the parachute itself does not have a power plant, so it can only rely on the previous inertial speed to barely resist.
However, it doesn't need to last long, because ...... It's coming!
The wind was blowing in his ears, and a huge air stream danced around his body, and if it weren't for the fact that the robot didn't need to breathe, ordinary creatures might have difficulty breathing. Xinglan reached out and pulled away a few strands of silver hair that floated in front of her, opened her hands again to keep her balance, and looked intently at the sea that was getting closer and closer below through the infrared frequency.
The direction of the speed gradually changed, and the downward spiral was getting closer and closer to the horizontal movement, and soon, it was only a few meters above the sea below, and the oncoming water vapor could be clearly felt......
Cut the ropes!
The parachute jerks off, and the girl in a white coat steps on a surfboard and rushes into the surging sea from a height of several meters!
Watch My Surf ...... Bang!
……
Xinglan, who seemed to overestimate her abilities, lost her balance the moment she touched the water, and after rolling in the air several times in a row, she was slapped directly into the water by a wave with her surfboard...... There was a huge splash of water, and there was a momentum of water hitting three thousand miles.
A few minutes later, the soaking wet girl was swept by the tide onto the beach along the coast, and it seemed that even the machine body was dizzy for a long time before she barely woke up a little and stood up trembling......
The girl who didn't care about taking off her soaked white coat and revealing the blue tracksuit underneath, unaware of the danger of walking away, stood on the beach, looking at the sea under the starlight, ignoring the long silver hair that was still dripping downward, and smiled stupidly as if she didn't think it was enough to enjoy it......
"Perfect landing! Oh yes! ”
