Chapter 440: Exploring the Way Home
The aircraft flies at an altitude of less than 50 meters above the ground, and the speed is getting faster and faster. At this moment, what Li Ruobai had been worried about happened. It's raining.
"Shouldn't we stop and put a lid on it?"
"There's no need. Chu Jungui looked at the sky, and then sped up. The high-speed flying aircraft brought up a huge wind pressure, blowing all the rain above the heads of the three people behind.
At this moment, Kaitian suddenly sounded an alarm: "A federal base has been found ahead!"
In an instant, buildings on the plain in the distance appeared in Chu Jungui's field of vision.
The base is quite large, bigger than the original shadow of the apocalypse, and has clearly been established for some time. The area around the base has been largely bulldozed, with traces of massive terrain leveling, and several sub-forts have been built. According to the Federation's habit of building a base, Chu Jungui visually observed that at least 10,000 people were stationed in this base.
With such a large base, it is impossible to fight. Chu Jungui silently noted its location, and was about to fly away from the side, when a huge transport ship flew out of the clouds in the sky.
Chu Jungui's eyes lit up, the three engines were fully powered, and the aircraft was like a flying boulder, crashing directly into the transport ship!
The transport ship had just rushed out of the storm clouds, and it was still covered with electric fire, and it was not easy to stabilize its attitude, and Chu Jungui's aircraft had already flown over from above. The powerful jets of the three attitude engines blew the back of the transport, instantly disrupting its balance. The transport ship slammed into the ground at an angle, slamming its hull into three pieces, spilling its cargo and scattering many of its containers. In the environment of Planet 4, these cargoes have been destroyed.
There was a commotion in the base, and by the time a large number of chariots rushed out of the base, Chu Jungui had already flown far.
The aircraft flew faster and faster, and finally stabilized at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, flying over mountains and rivers.
There were also several signs of danger along the way, and unknown creatures approached at high speed, but most of them were detected and avoided by Kaitian in advance. The speed of the craft itself is also fast enough, fast enough to exceed the physiological limits of most creatures, except for those mysterious creatures in the storm clouds, it is impossible for normal surface creatures to catch up.
A few hours later, the trio saw a sea in their field of vision.
Chu Jungui slowed down, and the aircraft slowly hovered on the edge of the sea. The sea is boundless, and the water is eeriely yellow-green, with slight surging waves. Chu Jungui stared at the sea surface and found that he could only see through about one meter of seawater.
"Open the sky. ”
Kaitian's face rose into the air and looked out to the sea. After looking at it for a while, he said, "I can only see through 3 meters." ”
Chu Jungui frowned and asked, "Can you feel the danger?"
"I don't feel anything. ”
Chu Jungui exchanged a look with the girl and Li Ruobai, and the aircraft turned in a different direction and flew along the coastline. This will undoubtedly go around in a big circle, but Chu Jungui said that he didn't want to fly to the sea, and neither did the girl and Li Ruobai.
The aircraft then began its long flight around the sea. Fortunately, Planet 4 has a higher proportion of land on the surface, and after a 20-hour flight, the circumnavigation of the sea was finally successful. According to Chu Jungui's memory, it is less than 2,000 kilometers away from the base.
In this way, after more than a day of flight, the aircraft successfully bypassed the small half of the planet and returned to the base. When she saw the No. 2 base, Li Xinyi suddenly cheered and shouted, "Go home!"
The aircraft landed in the base, and Chu Jungui also let out a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted. He sat for a while before leaving his seat and jumping off the aircraft.
Li Ruobai also stepped down from the aircraft carrying the box containing the open sky, and his legs and feet trembled slightly. Kaitian has automatically recorded the terrain data along the way, and as long as it is transferred to the base master's brain, he can get a more detailed planetary map.
After a short rest, the three of them gathered in the command room to study the map data recorded by Kaitian. Kaitian is like a multi-functional biological scanner, and the places you have seen can be turned into digital data and stored. Its memory capacity is naturally limited, but as long as it eats enough and is large enough, its memory capacity is theoretically unlimited.
On the map of the planet, the area where the three of them flew was marked with dense markings. As long as there is a place where there is a type of land or biological species that has never been seen before, the open sky has set a mark. There are also dozens of striking red icons, which are where Kaitian senses the threat. Most of the marked locations appear to be unremarkable, and it is unknown where the danger is coming from. But what can make the open heavens feel dangerous, there must be secrets.
The three of them examined the marks one by one, and discussed for several hours before they finished sorting out the gains along the way. Looking at the final result, Li Ruobai said, "Are we done exploring the road?
"Definitely not. Li Xinyi said as she processed the data: "We encountered many high-speed approaching creatures on the way, and although they were not as fast as our aircraft, they also traveled at speeds of more than 300 kilometers per hour. Let's not forget about those living missiles. The creatures of this planet are evolving very quickly, and maybe if we go down this route again, we will encounter war beasts that can catch up with us. And don't forget, I don't know what is in that sea. ”
Li Ruobai spat out and said, "I think so too." ”
The girl adjusted the model for a moment, and then said, "This planet is very strange, even a little weird. Many species here do not conform to the laws of biological evolution at all, and life like Kaitian should not have appeared at all. Do you remember how we found Kaitian? In a sense, Kaitian is said to be artificial life. ”
"Is there a higher level of intelligence that has created the Open Heaven?" asked Li Ruobai.
The girl nodded, "Judging by the current signs, it is so. But the question is, where is this race? Why don't they stay?"
"yes, if there really is such a race, they can rule the entire galaxy, and we don't have anything to do. ”
After thinking for a moment, Li Ruobai looked at Chu Jungui and asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Jun Guizheng carefully studied the various icons on the map, and when he heard Li Ruobai ask, he said without raising his head: "Is it a new intelligent race? It's too far away from us." We are now building new warships. ”
Li Ruobai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, this is indeed more important. But I think we need to take a fresh look at this planet, and it's probably worth far more than what we see. ”
"I see, build a starship first. ”
"Of course the starship has to be built, but ......" Li Ruobai didn't continue, anyway, it was useless to say.
Chu Jungui finally withdrew his gaze from the map and said, "It's not so difficult to win the Federation fleet, but if you want to conquer this planet, I'm afraid it's very, very difficult. ”
