"Peele! Calm me down!"

"It's a second home! It's not Earth!"

"We are the pioneers of humanity, we are opening up new worlds, exploring a planet adapted to human habitation, what is the reward?"

"Think of Magellan, who went on a round-the-world expedition in history, and his fleet traveled for three years, costing more than 200 lives on the way, even taking him himself, and we only lost four members." The bearded middle-aged white man who spoke was clearly also hot-tempered as he drove the vehicle and roared at the black member in the passenger seat.

"F#U! Jason, there are no damn monsters on Earth, I'd rather go back to Magellan's old ways than spend another day in this hellish place!" The tall black man and the middle-aged white man quarreled, and the whole team was filled with a depressed and tense atmosphere.

As for the half-race young man Bruce, he was squatting in the back row of the lunar rover, holding a telescope and looking at the distant horizon, and then looked down at the draft map in his hand, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he interrupted the argument between the two in the front row, "Jason, how much power does the car have?"

"With 32% of the battery still available for 56 kilometres, this place is full of deserts, with up to 24 hours of daylight and solar panels that charge efficiently."

"What's wrong? Bruce, have you made a new discovery?" The middle-aged white man asked, pricking up his ears.

In Jason's eyes, this mixed-race young man was silent all the way, whether it was patience and concentration far above the two of them, he would only suddenly speak when it was critical.

"There's something new!"

"Ten kilometers or so ahead, there are signs of water, and we can't be sure if it's a river or a lake for the time being," the mixed-race young man pursed his dry lips and said with a slight smile.

"What? Bruce, have you found a water source? God willing!"

"Bruce, you're like the silent Sphinx! As soon as you open your mouth, you will bring good news!"

"Finally no more filtered urine!" When the black man named Peel heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"10 km?"

"I see!" And Jason's face was also full of excitement, no longer arguing with the black man next to him, slammed on the electric door and accelerated forward.

Soon the purpose-built all-terrain vehicle kicked up smoke and dust through a large sandy hill to the edge of a blue sea.

"Haha! It's the sea!"

"It's the sea of this planet!"

"God forbid!" Looking at the waves on the beach, Peel jumped out of the car first, took the rifle in his hand, and ran all the way from the beach to the beach.

The clear water washed over the sand with spray, drowning his ankles along the way.

"Peel, stay safe! Don't forget those beasts!" Seeing that the black man was about to take off his clothes and jump into the sea to swim, Jason, a middle-aged white man, immediately shouted and reminded him from behind.

"Strange beasts? Mess with Fak!" Peel was thrilled at this, and retreated from the tide to shore in three steps and two steps.

As for the mixed-race youth, he took a water quality monitoring instrument from the car, carefully approached the water's edge and scooped it a little, and after looking at the water components rising on the monitor, his face twitched slightly, "Guys, the seawater here can be directly used as raw materials for the salt farm!" It seems that if you want to extract fresh water, you have to waste some effort."

"How much salinity?" Jason on the side leaned over and glanced at the instrument data displayed by the mixed-race youth, his face was also dark, and he scolded, "Houli crab! 46% salinity? That's more salinity than the highest in the Dead Sea!"

You must know that the average salinity of the Pacific Ocean on the earth is about 3.5%, which is equivalent to 3.5 grams of dissolved matter diluted in 100 grams of seawater.

The Dead Sea has the highest salinity of any of the world's largest bodies of water, with a maximum salinity of about 33.7%, a salinity in which ordinary fish can no longer survive, only bacteria and plankton.

Moreover, the higher the salinity, the stronger the buoyancy of the sea, and ordinary people can lie flat and float on the surface of the Dead Sea even if they do not use a swimming ring to pick up a newspaper

。

The salinity of the ocean in front of you is a level higher than that of the Dead Sea, and if you take a sip, it is not a matter of throat slashing, and you can directly send people to dogs.

"The salt content is too high, and the permeable film we brought can't be used to desalinate in large quantities."

"The only way to do it is to use the soil method...... Fortunately, there is plenty of sunshine here, and the temperature is above 38 degrees......" The half-race young man opened his mouth to analyze, looked up at the sunny sky again, and beckoned to the big black: "Peel, let's work! If you want to drink clean fresh water, you can only rely on our human wisdom!"

"Wisdom?"

"Then leave it to someone like Bruce! Like me, it's still suitable for muscles." Peel squeezed out an ugly smile and raised an arm to show off his muscles.

The three of them took the excavation equipment from the car and began to work with the two of them to dig several large pits along the beach, and then filled the pits with seawater, placed a bucket in the middle, and covered the pits with a layer of plastic film by the way.

This is a simple solar still, which uses the heat of the sun to heat the seawater in the pit to evaporate, and the distilled freshwater vapor will condense at the upper film and drip into the bucket in the middle.

"Then it's time to leave! With such high temperatures, a bucket should be filled in no time." Looking at this humble pit, the mixed-race youth let out a long sigh.

Although this strange planet is full of such life ores, the environment of their landing site is too harsh.

In addition to the desert is a wasteland, in order to find water, several members have died at the hands of those strange beasts.

Fortunately, after searching more than 100 kilometers to the south, the problem of water sources was finally temporarily solved.

"Peele, you stare at the bucket inside, drink it when it's full."

"I'm going to take a look at the nearby terrain and see if there's any sign of the beast's activity."

"Jason, you use the radio to contact the other squads and get them to get closer to us. If you want to bring more fresh water back, you have to rely on everyone's strength." The mixed-race youth acted like a squad leader, and after a few words, he mobilized the other two.

With a telescope, he climbed to a towering sand dune on the edge of the beach and observed the surrounding situation.

Scanning all the way from the desert to the sea, a dark shadow like a mountain in the depths of the sea caught his attention.

"Is it an island?" The half-breed youth muttered and turned up the magnification of the telescope, and soon he spotted the towering mountains on the island.

"Is this a volcano?"

"That's not right! Why is it so shaped like the mountain at our landing site......" The half-breed youth put down his binoculars and rubbed his eyes, feeling as if something incredible had happened.

Searching the edge of the island through the camera, there is a raft with several figures floating out to sea from the island and sailing towards this beach.

At this moment, the mixed-race youth couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his body trembled, as if he had discovered a new continent, he couldn't keep his composure anymore, and shouted at the two team members who were busy working on the beach, "Guys! There is a situation!"

Peel and Jason, who were in charge of their own affairs, heard this voice, hurriedly left their work, quickly got into the terrain vehicle and galloped towards the sand dunes.

"Bruce, have you spotted the beast?" Jason's face was solemn, and the big black man was standing up with an automatic rifle in one hand and a grenade that could be pulled at any time in the other.

With the death of several team members, the members of their joint expedition team that landed on this second home became like frightened birds.

"It's not a beast!"

"It's an alien! Look!" Bruce also snatched a rifle from the back of the car and threw the telescope to Jason by the way.

「hat?」

"Aliens?"

"Intelligent beings on this planet?" The two of them changed color when they heard this, although they had been prepared before coming, but they really met it in a different mood.

As for Jason, he took the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by the half-breed youth, and found that there was really a raft like a ship on the sea, galloping and approaching.

"Aliens cross the sea on a raft?"

"Isn't the civilization level of these aliens no different from those uncivilized primitives on Earth?" Jason put down the binoculars and analyzed with a slight twitch in his face.

"Let's hide first!"

"Even if it's a primitive, you have to be cautious, don't forget the strange beasts we encountered before, some of them also look harmless to humans and animals," Bruce suggested with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the other two nodded. The trio drove the vehicle to a large sand dune, found a bunker, buried themselves in the sand, and constantly monitored the approaching raft with the help of binoculars.

As the raft got closer and closer, and several blurred black shadows in the telescope began to become clearer, Jason could see the clothing symbols on those people's bodies, and exclaimed, "Bruce! Not aliens! It's an expedition of hairy bears! I remember that this batch of rockets was launched by a hairy bear spacecraft to the moon, and the ground command center also said that they were just a few hours behind us."

Hearing that it was human, the big black man was the first to breathe a sigh of relief and put down the rifle he had been holding, while the half-breed young man snatched the telescope and re-observed.

After seeing the physical features and faces of several people on the raft, he suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Why is she here?"

Then he crawled out of the sand, shook the sand off his body, turned back to his two teammates and laughed, "Guys! Do you believe in love at first sight?"

"What do you mean? Bruce? Are you in love?" The two lying on the sand didn't understand the meaning of the mixed-race youth.

And the half-breed youth, after dropping a seemingly clueless sentence, no longer maintained his previous caution and calmness, and began to run from the dunes to the beach, waving at the raft on the surface of the sea all the way.

"Bruce, are you crazy! Even if it's a furry bear expedition, we can't easily get in touch with them!" Seeing this scene, Jason and Peel had no choice but to follow.

By the time the raft reached the shore in more than twenty minutes, with the help of the tide and wind, several heavily armed members of the woolly bear expedition came down from the raft, and among the group of people was a woman who was obviously a little smaller.

I saw this heroic woman wearing a silver patterned combat uniform, frowning at the mixed-race youth who was yelling at them on the shore.

"Beautiful Miss Linglong, last time I said goodbye to Antarctica in a hurry, I thought about Miss Linglong day and night, and couldn't sleep at night."

"I didn't expect that 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, I could meet you here! It's really in response to the old saying of the flower planter: "We are destined to meet thousands of miles away!" The mixed-race youth was obviously extremely excited,

"It's you! Zhao Zhen!"

"Don't you know that there is another kind of fate called bad fate?"

"How dare you appear in front of me? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!" Linglong recognized this mixed-race young man, her face was cold, and her tone was cold, without the slightest affection for meeting an old man in another country.

"Miss Ao! Miss Linglong, I think you misunderstood me! The last time I was in Antarctica, it was a lot of offense, but it was all Eugene's old guy's idea."

"I'm now out of the X Sports Association and I'm a freelancer."

"As for my feelings for Miss Linglong, your feelings are not adulterated in the slightest, if Miss Linglong is still angry about the matter of that half of the meteorite. I thought about this planet, and we should let go of this little misunderstanding. After all, there are those magical stones everywhere here, Miss Linglong, if you want, I can give you a meteorite the size of a mountain, and it will be regarded as an atonement to Miss Linglong!" Zhao Zhen waved his hand and hurriedly explained, stretching out two fingers and gesturing by the way, as if to say that the previous conflict was very insignificant.

"Zhao Zhen, you are clever and eloquent!"

"Is the relationship between Eugene and you broken off just as soon as you say it? Don't think that with a few guns here, I can't do anything about you."

"This is not Earth! There's no such glacier crack that can help you," a faint heat rose from the top of Linglong's head as he spoke, obviously ready to make a move.

"Bruce, your woman is your friend?"

"Looking at the temper is a little big, can you stand it when you marry home?" The big black man who followed behind Zhao Zhen, although he couldn't understand the two communicating in Chinese, couldn't help but interject, and pulled the bolt of the gun by the way to show his presence.

With this action, the rest of the furry bear explorers also became alert, and raised their guns to aim at the three of them.

Including that Jason, who also raised his gun and pulled a fragmentation grenade from the mount on his chest, and for a moment the entire beach fell into an awkward atmosphere.

"Do you want to fight? Always with you!" Jason grinned, his scum-covered face with a bit of western cowboy freehand, and he felt that it was better to face a group of members of a furry bear expedition than to face those deadly alien beasts.

At that moment, the sound of several motors came from behind the sand dunes in the distance, and the other two expedition teams that received the radio message drove to the station.

Seeing that the two parties were facing each other on the beach, he jumped out of one of the cars and jumped out of a bearded man, rushed to the middle of the two parties, and said, "Friends! On this strange planet, I don't think you need such tension, right?"

"We are all humans, and we should work together to explore this strange planet! Brother Ivan, you must have met the beasts on this planet too, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, especially the leader of the group of hairy bears, who lowered his gun slightly after seeing the beard: "Abla! I didn't expect you to come to this planet too! It's been more than a decade since we last trained together in the Arctic."

"Ivan, I didn't expect us to reunite in this way, is Instructor Peru okay?" The bearded man smiled at the furry bear, and it was obvious that the two had a deep friendship.

"The instructor has retired, but he plans to land on this planet to see if he can find any further hope." The furry bear man shrugged his shoulders in response.

"There is a magical energy on this planet that transforms and evolves the body, and I don't think the instructor will miss it."

"But if you want to take root on this planet, you must first be unanimous and conquer those alien beasts first!" The bearded man continued to change the subject, easing the tension between the two sides.

Seeing that both sides slowly lowered their muzzles, the bearded man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Linglong, after staring at the group of expedition teams with different skin tones in front of her, a little different color flashed in her eyes, and then she said to the mixed-race young man who was smiling at her, "Zhao Zhen, didn't you say that you wouldn't lie to me? I can spare you for now, but you'll have to tell me everything you know!"

"In addition to the information of those strange beasts, there is also the news of the relic hanging around your neck and the seven-colored ore!"

"As you said, the life ore is worthless on this planet, and the only thing that is valuable is the seven-colored ore."

As soon as Linglong's words came out, the faces of those members of the expedition team who had learned Chinese changed, especially Zhao Zhen, after hearing the description of the seven-colored ore, his face twitched, revealing a few points of difficulty, and his tone was no longer frivolous but turned to a little serious: "Miss Linglong...... We did find traces of the seven-colored ore, but there was a very terrifying beast in that mine. In order to obtain some samples of the seven-colored ore, we even paid the cost of the lives of several members!"

"In this lunar exploration operation, we combined the forces of the Western Alliance, the Eagle Nation and several developed countries to assemble a large lunar spacecraft and barely sent 20 people to this second home."

"But just the day after we arrived in this ghost place, we have already lost one-fifth of our manpower, and I think even if you flower growers and woolly bears join forces, you can't afford such a loss!"

Looking at the sincere mixed-race young man on the other side, Linglong knew that the other party probably made up for a mistake and mistook her for an explorer member of the flower planter, but she didn't debunk it: "You just need to take me to that mining area, and we will solve the rest of the problems ourselves."

"Since Miss Linglong is interested, then she will naturally sacrifice her life to accompany her! But before we can do that, we have to collect the water supply."

"From here, all the way through is desert, and there is not a trace of an oasis......

As the atmosphere eased, the two sides began to enter into exchanges and exchanged some information.

As the bearded man said, they are all human beings, and they should put aside their grievances on this strange planet for the time being.

After all, in such a special environment, ordinary people can only survive by cooperation, and it is obviously difficult to go it alone in the long run.

……

However, there are always some unusual cases in this world!

In a group of mountains not many kilometers away from this beach, Chen Jue was flapping his wooden wings and the small parrot flying beside him, dodging the pursuit of a large group of strange giant rats with red eyes behind him.

These giant rats are like rabbits, with heads like rats, with their limbs outstretched, their fur pulled into the shape of a parachute, and their mouths squeak incessantly.

And the reason why they pursued Chen Du was also because when they landed on a big mountain just now, Chen Du easily picked a few red fruits from a giant tree that looked like a begonia.

"Even if snakes can fly, now even rats can fly!"

"They all say that if you stab a hornet's nest, you will suffer, but I haven't heard of stabbing a rat's nest! It's amazing!"
