97 Emergency takeoff

Leaving the footprints on Mars, Ou and Xu returned to the fighter, and the drone went online again, flying around the fighter with the fighter as the center, circle after circle.

The drone was too light and small, and it was blown by the raging air currents, but fortunately, the impact was not very serious.

With each lap, the range is enlarged, and the nearby terrain is recorded in detail by the fire control system, and accurately compared with previous data, and any change will be marked by the system.

After a while, the screen was already densely packed, and dozens of anomalous markers appeared, basically all of which were changes caused by the storm.

In just three or five minutes, a tall shadow suddenly appeared in the picture, and Ou Zhanpeng immediately controlled the drone to fly over, and a tall tower-shaped spaceship entered the camera.

Continuing to observe, several more horizontal and vertical capsules were found nearby.

The tail of the return capsule rushed down and its head was facing up, with a thick bottom and a thin waist and a narrow head, and it only needed a signal to launch it immediately.

The reason why the landing is necessary is that the re-entry capsule is just a spacecraft, and only has the ability to fly from the surface of Mars to orbit, whether it is fuel or supplies, it is stored in other capsules.

Here's why you have to land.

"Found it!" Xu Qing was surprised and delighted.

Ou Zhanpeng's eyes were solemn, and he manipulated the drone to continue the search, repeatedly probing the situation near the landing site almost inch by inch, until he was sure that there was no problem, and then he showed a surprised look.

Xu Qing couldn't help but be curious: "What are you looking for?" ”

Ou Zhanpeng shook his head: "I just think that after the alien species arrives on Mars, they must have scanned the entire planet, so the big spacecraft is clubbing there, and it is impossible for the alien species not to be invisible, even if it is out of curiosity, you should send someone over to take a look, right?" But when you look at it, all the cabins are in their original positions, and they haven't been touched at all, do you think that's reasonable? ”

The spaceship is a technological product, even if the alien species and humans take different paths, they can recognize at a glance that the spaceship is by no means naturally formed, and it is easy to guess the origin of those man-made objects.

But what about alien species?

Before the Martian storm blew, I didn't notice any special movements of the enemy, but who can guarantee that after the smoke and dust covered the surface of Mars, the enemy still did not move?

Xu Qing is not the kind of brainless vase, she immediately understood what Ou Zhanpeng meant, and the thoughts in her heart turned back and forth, but in the end she didn't say a word.

In terms of fighting, Ou Zhanpeng is much more expert than her.

The drone continued to expand the search range and determined that there was no abnormality near the landing site, Ou Zhanpeng immediately started the fighter, and the thruster flame gushed out, pushing the fighter into the air.

Xu Qing was a little confused, why did she look like she was facing a great enemy just now, and in a blink of an eye, she made a 180-degree turn?

"What did you find?" She asked.

Ou Zhanpeng shook his head: "I thought it was bad just now, the escape pod is so big, it can't hold many aliens, they have opened three more bases, and the manpower is definitely not so sufficient, even if you plan to fish, it is impossible to send people to stay here all the time, right?" ”

Xu Qing suddenly said: "It seems to make some sense." ”

"So we have to hurry!"

As he spoke, the fighter plane had already flown above the landing site and slowly landed near the return capsule.

Ou Zhanpeng turned over and rushed out, pointing to a cabin lying on the ground and yelling: "Hurry up, that cabin, you can move it after you open it!" ”

"Roger!" Xu Qing didn't dare to slack off, rushed over like a fly, entered the password to open the hatch, revealing packages that were intact one by one.

Each package was one meter square, and she carried one in one hand, but the speed was not greatly affected, and it was sent into the tail compartment of the fighter plane and carefully fixed, and then the second round of transportation began.

If it is just thrown in the tail compartment, it will inevitably affect the balance of the fighter, and if it is forcibly taken off, it may even lead to a crash.

Ou Zhanpeng's movements were faster, he found a cabin and fiddled with it a few times, and immediately there were two more pairs of wheels under the cabin, he drove the cabin to the vicinity of the fighter plane like a convertible car, pulled out the hose and stuck it on the fighter's filling port to rotate and fix, and continuously injected fuel into the fighter.

After the fuel tank is filled, it is driven to the other side and the remaining fuel is added to the return capsule in one go.

In the process of refueling, he was not idle, going back and forth like a hard-working worker ant, carrying heavy packages and striding meteors to send them into the return capsule.

After a while, the fighter plane was full, and Xu Qing was about to come over to help, when Ou Zhanpeng suddenly received an alarm from the fighter.

That's an alert from a drone, there must have been something wrong!

His heart tightened, and he quickly clicked on the terminal, and immediately saw several giant species shaking in the smoke and dust.

I'm really afraid of something!

Ou Zhanpeng threw the package on his back into the return capsule, and he didn't care about what was fixed or not, he opened his throat and shouted: "Xu Qing, get on the plane, hurry!" ”

"Roger!" Xu Qing didn't ask a word of nonsense, turned around and got into the fighter.

Ou Zhanpeng closed the hatch and removed the fuel pipe, threw a grenade into the fuel tank with his backhand, and prayed in his heart as he ran back: I hope the fuel is enough.

Jumped into the fighter plane in a few steps, turned over and lay down on the driver's seat, and didn't even bother to fasten the seat belt, so he immediately started the fighter.

The numerous packages in the tail compartment added a lot of weight to the fighter, and the fighter was obviously much more clumsy to maneuver: "Where is the drone?" ”

Xu Qing immediately checked the data: "Three kilometers to the northeast, visibility 600!" ”

"What is the speed of the enemy?"

"I don't know, I didn't receive a signal from the drone, I should have been shot down by the enemy."

Ou Zhanpeng gritted his teeth: "Got it, sit tight!" ”

He slowly pushed the throttle to the end, and with a roar, the fighter slowly left the ground, flying higher and faster.

As soon as the fighter plane took off, Xu Qing sent out an ignition signal, and the return capsule let out an even dull roar, and it also flew into the sky.

Shortly after the re-entry capsule took off, more than a dozen giant species appeared near the landing site, but they were a step too late and could only fire at the re-entry capsule in vain.

However, as soon as they raised their arms, there was a muffled thud on the ground, and the grenade detonated the fuel tank, and tons of combustion and oxidizer mixed together, quickly spreading into a huge high-temperature fireball, and the shock wave spread outward at a speed far faster than the storm, flying sand and rocks everywhere it went, and the sun and moon were gone.

In just an instant, all the giant species were completely submerged in flames, and the various cabins left at the landing site were also destroyed one after another in the explosion, leaving only charred and twisted steel, and a dozen giant species that were completely motionless.

A moment later, the flames spread into a giant dwarf version of the mushroom cloud, and even the fighters and the return capsule in the air were affected by the explosion, and there was a violent vibration.
