It is a magnificent picture that can only be seen by humans in a true interstellar age.

Under the streamlined hull of the Space Prison, the closed openings on both sides of the ship opened one after another, and in the overflowing blue light, large medical transport ships flew out from the inside.

In the dim background of the universe, this is a small light source, the light from the various searchlights on the hull illuminates the surrounding space, and when it is a little far away from the hull, their tail violently spews out several orange-red flames, and the huge impetus generated makes the rows of ships accelerate until they enter the outer atmosphere of PEJ-X4, and then slowly slow down.

At this time, the force field shield was opened by the medical transport ships, and the originally formless and colorless force field range, under the surrounding lead-colored atmosphere, showed a light blue color, and the edge part was even flashing with dark blue brilliance, and under the huge resistance of the rapid decline, it was slightly pressed into the shape of a water droplet.

Whatever lies underneath, this is something they must turn on, especially in the complex atmosphere of PEJ-X4, where any negligence can lead to unknowable accidents for the spacecraft.

Then the ship began to shake violently.

The traction of the planet's gravity, the huge friction generated on the force field shield, and the arc-shaped direction of the oblique cut into the planet, let the spacecraft enter a polarization state after stalling, just like something that is quickly dragged in the water, always unconsciously swinging left and right, and behind the spacecraft, the long tail flame dragged out a red glow, forming a meteor falling scene in the sky, and from time to time there would be clusters of darker flames on it.

Obviously, there is some inexplicable danger hidden in these thick atmospheres. However, under the protection of the force field shield, they were destroyed one after another.

When entering the inner atmosphere, the spacecraft gradually adjusted its direction to meet the surface of the planet at a larger angle, while the hull was deflected, and the tail was slightly downward, emitting an orange-red flame of light and began to fly normally.

The parallel angles finally allow the people inside the spacecraft to better observe the external environment, the previous position of the head and foot plus the state of high-speed overload. Almost everyone seems to be drinking high. I felt that my eyes were blurry and hazy, and I could only see dark patches in the shape of flowers.

"Not bad, a desolate stony wilderness with basalt color and gray moss on it. Finally, I don't have to be in the company of those strange creatures."

The soldier next to Chen Xi sighed. It's obvious. He had been conquered by those creatures on the planet Tifa, and now he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see an empty environment. Other dangers or not, it meant at least one thing, he didn't have to get up close and personal with some particularly strange creatures.

"I hope your good mood can be maintained for a little longer."

Chen Xi was noncommittal about this expectation, and compared to most people on the spaceship, he had already adapted to the rapid overload state. From a higher angle, he could see a part of the planet as it really was, and after breaking away from the thick clouds that obscured his vision, he saw a scene that matched the appearance of hell he had seen in the previous mission.

The rivers flowing with lead-white unknown substances, the towering volcanoes emitting black smoke, and some cracked areas, a large amount of red lava and white steam coming out of the cracks, are not the current safety illusions under the restrictions of the fog, this is just a suitable landing place for the spacecraft, naturally the environment should be better.

Chen Xi turned on the unlock switch of the fixture, and when he stood up, the chair behind his buttocks had already retracted into the bulkhead, and he motioned to An Yumo, who had also stood up, and walked straight to the place where the central gondola was connected, and went down through the internal slide. This time, the ship finally got the hang of it, not only giving the raider assault tank, but also preparing two King Tiger cannon tanks for each medical transport.

When he got here, Chen Xi also saw this big guy who had been waiting for him for a long time.

It is five meters high and eight meters long, and the yellow-brown alloy armor surface has a thick sense of water chestnut angles, and the widened chain belts on both sides are quite majestic and majestic, and the thick barrel stretches out from the front end of the turret.

As a commander, Chen Xi can of course occupy one brazenly and have a good time. Not long after An Yumo entered the spaceship, it arrived at the landing position.

The two King Tiger Cannon tanks were lowered first, followed by more than forty Marauder Assault Tanks that were already full of soldiers, unlike the larger King Tiger Cannon Tank, which could only carry three people, and although the Marauder Assault Tanks looked smaller, each one could hold twelve people.

"The target is in a valley in the front right, and from here it will take about four hours to follow a safe path" Chen Xi turned on the command system and sent the route map to the five hundred people under his jurisdiction.

Like Tifa, Space Prison was unable to detect the interior of the Crystal Building's coverage, but was able to determine its exact location. On this planet, the crystal building is located in a deep valley, but it is not easy to get close to this deep valley, the environment on all sides is more complicated, either a scorching magma area, or a large number of rivers composed of unknown matter, where they converge and fall from the abyss within the deep valley.

If they want to get there, they can only land at a distance and enter through the ground in a roundabout way.

"The surface temperature here is 178 degrees, and in some geothermally active areas, it has reached more than 380 degrees, which can almost fry eggs The oxygen content in the air is 12.7%, the nitrogen content is 74.3%, the toxic gas content is 1.8%, and the rest of the gas is 11.2%, which is not suitable for human breathing, and there is a risk of suffocation if it exceeds three minutes" Chen Xi looked at the environmental tips of the system a little, then started the tank and headed for the target location.

Their group of 20,000 men, forty teams of five hundred, formed a mighty team that overwhelmed the stony ground that felt almost as stony as basalt. There are also some scientific researchers. It is to sample and investigate the environment here. Through some of the crystal components brought back from the planet Tifa before, they already have a rough idea of how to manipulate the parts of these buildings, and when they come into contact with the crystal buildings here, they will control them.

On the way, the scientists were curious about the minerals and liquids they encountered along the way, sampling and researching, and they could be heard shouting from time to time in the dialogue channel.

"It's a strange environment, these rivers have such a high concentration of metal, I detected some kind of strange energy in them, it looks like it should be under the influence of this energy. Molecules made of metals are combined with some of the substances that are unique to this planet. It becomes a state of such fluidity."

"I saw that, after magnifying tens of thousands of times, they have a graphite-like layered structure, and it is difficult for external forces to destroy the way they are composed. I am afraid that this is the reason why the current environment has been able to maintain this liquid-like state all the time. Even if it is taken out of the river, it does not change. Well, see what kind of state they become if the temperature and pressure change"

"Impossible. Changing the temperature and pressure environment, they didn't even change anything, this feels similar to the hardened inert biological armor of the Zerg, it seems that after qualitative, it is difficult to be affected by other factors, I will add something to try"

"Oh my God, most of the reagents didn't react, but I added a piece of biological tissue taken from the Zerg and found that they actually started to solidify, hey, nothing changed from this addition."

"I understand that it must contain living biological tissues in order to be effective, and they seem to be specially created things, but I don't know if it is the life force or the spiritual energy that affects it?"

……

Although it seriously slowed down the speed, Chen Xi did not stop the research of this group.

His reason is very simple: "The so-called history as a mirror can know the advance and retreat, as long as people who have watched a large number of science fiction movies and novels know that these scientists can not be offended or neglected at all, and the things that occasionally leak out are not the key to the development of the plot, or an important factor that can directly affect the result, and they must not be disturbed, in fact, anyone who does not listen to their verbosity usually dies miserably." ”

It is precisely for this reason that on the previous strategic cruiser Space Prison, when these scientists were talking about the topic for a long time, he didn't squeak at all.

Even in order to make them better conduct research, Chen Xi's side deliberately slowed down and guarded the surroundings, so that he was pulled farther and farther away by the large army.

Of course, this peculiar behavior caused many commanders and soldiers to be stunned and incomprehensible, in their eyes, Chen Xi's approach itself was funny, jokingly called "nanny", but Chen Xi didn't care about this kind of ridicule at all, he still went his own way, anyway, there was also this matter of protecting the researcher in the mission, and he was not deviating from the order.

Therefore, by the time Chen Xi came over with these researchers, whose curiosity had finally been satisfied, it was already two hours after the others arrived in the valley.

In order not to delay the progress of the mission, they have activated the device on the crystal building under the remote command of these researchers, but nothing has happened.

"It really doesn't seem like there is any reaction, but for what, we are all based on the results of the reverse research of those components obtained on the planet Tifa, and the light has obviously changed" After trying it myself, and finding that there was still no response, a researcher couldn't help but say strangely.

"Maybe it's a different function, I've seen it on the planet Tifa, and this kind of arch-shaped crystal building hasn't appeared there." Chen Xi said out loud that after this period of getting along, he has gotten along well with these researchers, and it shouldn't be considered a death flag to put forward opinions on the side.

"It's not impossible, but we didn't have to manipulate them until we figured out their basic modus operandi, and this shouldn't have happened," the researcher said hesitantly, already passing his hand through the blue light curtain in the middle of the arch, and nothing happened except for a pale blue fluorescence attached to it.

But according to some of the information left behind by the last wave of scientists, it was after they tried to open these arches that some kind of accident happened. So much so that they lost contact when they couldn't do anything, and only sent a short message to them in the galaxy in the last hour.

"You must come, this is an amazing secret that will bring us victory in the war, they have a way to restrain the Zerg"

Then there is the abrupt blind tone.

Apparently caught off guard, the scientists were incapacitated after only one passage could be conveyed. Even a lot of equipment and instruments are still left in this valley, near the arches of the steep cliffs.

"Or maybe it's the ones in the content, they've adjusted all these arch devices so that we don't really use them." Another researcher thought about it and said. According to the investigation of these people who came before. The equipment and instruments left behind have traces of movement, and it seems that the other party has also recognized their existence.

"I feel a little bad that it seems to mean they don't want to come into contact with us, otherwise. No such adjustment will be made. "Another commander who is staying here. The views expressed were somewhat pessimistic. "Chances are, the scientists before us were killed by them."

"Now that we're going to do it again, will they attack us?"

As evolutionary beings, they naturally found this idea funny. The evolutionary system will definitely not deceive them, saying that the Zerg did it is the Zerg who did it, but these people in the Human Federation don't know the way. Seeing that the topic was diverted by this commander, how to defend against possible attacks and capture them, the other evolutionaries were a little anxious.

This guy is definitely a traitor sent by the bugs to interfere with the progress of their mission, trying to sabotage the ultimate purpose of the Federation's operation and turn this mysterious race into an enemy.

It's a pity that most of them are not of high rank and cannot squeeze into this circle to express their opinions, and a few can get close to it, and they don't want to arouse the bad feelings of many commanders. Everyone knows that when they talk about sex and the inspiration for war is pouring out like a tide, denying their judgment, without substantial evidence, just talking about it, is definitely the rhythm of looking for small shoes to wear.

The expectant gaze fell on Chen Xi, who had secretly laughed at these people who were not doing their jobs when he stayed with these researchers, but when he turned around, he found that only Chen Xi and this group of researchers could convince these unit commanders.

Chen Xi took in the expressions of these people, knowing what they thought, but he had no intention of refusing. At present, the ship side has actual control of the troops, but at the grassroots level, it is these people who have great influence, and if he wants to achieve his goals, he must get the help of these people.

Without hesitation, Chen Xi asked the professionals here: "What do you think, if it is a misunderstanding, it will not be good to become mortal enemies with that race, and we also need them to provide a way to restrain the Zerg?" ”

"It's impossible to know for sure if the mysterious race did it, as there's no sign of a battle here, but if we give us some time, we might be able to figure out what caused the arch device to not work by studying the composition of these light curtains, and when the time comes, we'll be able to find out."

The answer, though not directly dismissing the ideas of the commanders, was undoubtedly a solution, and it was better to drag it out than to show hostility at first.

"It looks like we still need to be conservative, and it's obviously not a good idea to become enemies until it's clear whether they're really hostile." Chen Xi spread his hands and said, "It is definitely more difficult to get what you want from the enemy than from your friends, and the longer we delay here, the more likely it will be that tens of millions to hundreds of millions of people will die in vain because of this time." ”

The other commanders couldn't say anything against it, after all, they were not alone, but represented the hope of the Federation, the survival chances of hundreds of billions of people behind them.

After a discussion, they ordered.

"Well, everyone assembles in a circle and guards this valley, point the direction of the muzzle outside, the searchlights are on, and anything that is not found is not a bug needs to be ordered by us to fire"

After saying the most, someone couldn't help but whisper: "It's not a good idea to spend the night here, you have to hide in these messy karst caves to avoid the bad weather at night." ”

This man is talking about the results of a few hours of research on the environment of the planet PEJ-X4.

Unlike the high temperature of more than 300 degrees in the local area during the day, it will become an unusually cold place at night, not only the fog that permeates the surrounding area will be thicker, the temperature will drop to more than 80 degrees below zero, but also heavy rain and hail, which is not ordinary rain and hail, but rain and hail rich in heavy metals and toxic substances, with relatively heavy corrosiveness.

Looking at the environment of this deep valley, it is clear that, except for the huge arch hanging on an intact platform, it is surrounded by bottomless karst caves, which are clearly the masterpieces of millions of years.

The people staying in the King Tiger Giant Cannon Tank are okay, the space is so large, and three people are enough to move, but the Marauder Assault Tank is not good, plus the driver has thirteen people, and it is impossible to rest at all.

Choosing a cave that would not be flooded by the rain, the soldiers who came out of the raider assault vehicle modified the entrance slightly, and then went inside with some of their belongings to set up the new home for a few days to stay.

In the midst of the busyness, a passing researcher seemed to suddenly remember something, and reminded: "By the way, be careful of the native creatures of this planet, they seem to have a habit of being diurnal and nocturnal, and they have not been seen during the day, so be careful"

Chen Xi's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, and he said secretly: "The death flag is coming." ”

This kind of plot is almost 100% going to happen in the movie (to be continued......
