The journey in deep space can be said to be quite boring, but the two female elves accompanying the ship are spellcasters and researchers after all, so there will always be endless things to think about and endless experiments to do;

So most of the time, they have to be busy haunting the various spacecraft labs, and they don't have much time to feel this boredom.

In this process, whenever there are some new ideas, new puzzles, or small results in research, their intermittent communication with each other will appear as a way of adjustment and exploration.

Although there may be different research to be done, after all, they belong to the same project team, so the final direction of the task at this stage is the same, which is related to the verification and improvement of the 'base plan special technology';

Therefore, the vast majority of the conversations that take place here are often not 'small talk' to pass the time, but to learn from and promote each other's work......

Moreover, due to the influence of certain innate conditions of the elven race as a whole, as well as some acquired factors determined by the path, it is destined that the vast majority of elven spellcasters can be called 'all-rounders', which also makes the communication between them not become 'chickens and ducks'.

In such a busy conversation, sometimes face-to-face, sometimes in the air, time is also passing silently little by little;

When the moment that was determined by calculation finally came, the two elves were reminded by the wisdom of the brain, and they would stop their work and start to carry out the follow-up tasks....

~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, in the vast darkness, with the sun looking about 1.5 times larger as the background, a dark yellow turbid sphere appeared very clearly within the field of vision, and quickly approached the spacecraft in the movement of the object in the same frame of reference.

This star is undoubtedly a purgatory, with an orbit close to a perfect circle, about 0.75 astronomical units from the Sun (the average distance from the parent star to the Sun is 1), a planet with a diameter of about 12,804 kilometers about half of the parent star, and an estimated mass of around 6.021?102 kilograms;

Overall, it is the second-to-last planet in the parent galaxy, and only the 'Death Star' in the third orbit is smaller than it.

[Approaching the predetermined target, please complete the integration and integration as soon as possible.] 】

The silent reminder of the spaceship brain's heart-to-heart made Freya immediately stop the task in hand and asked Agatha in the laboratory next door,

"Are you ready?"

"Mm-hmm, it can enter your body at any time~"

"You're a bit bad at that.... Forget it, let's merge quickly, you go to the inner perspective, and I stay in the material horizon to control the synth, okay? ”

"No problem, I also want to see the effect of the inner surface at close range."

As he spoke, two torrents of cells converged through the metal wall in the main chamber, and immediately fused with each other......

Of the two, the more senior Freya is 4.2 meters tall and weighs 4.7 tons, while the younger Agatha is 3.7 meters tall and weighs just over 4 tons.

And when they merged, the new body, which had only survived for a moment, seemed to have a toned body that was nearly 7 meters tall and weighed about 9 tons, but as soon as it was formed, it seemed to encounter a sponge of flowing water, seeping into the material structure where it stood, and merging with the spaceship that had been built for them together.

Of course, even the total amount of cells combined by the two fifth-order spellcasters was still a bit inadequate compared to this cylindrical spaceship with a length of 700 meters and a cross-sectional diameter of 250 meters......

Therefore, at this time, Freya, who is in charge of controlling the external consciousness, only fuses with the most critical part of the ship........ For example, the plasma thruster at the head and tail, the central control brain, the beastmaster cage, and the gravitational field generator and adjuster, etc.

At this point, Freya's consciousness has completely taken over the control of the entire spacecraft in the form of either directly or using the brain as a springboard, and according to the real-time situation changes, the follow-up approach and orbit actions are carried out.

Under her control, the Beastmaster Cage, which provided the driving force for the ship's totem inscription, began to perform the squeezing of the 'inner core' with greater efficiency, and made the high-level demonic beasts that were 'sleeping' frown slightly in their dreams;

At the same time, the tail thrusters, which had been turned off due to the extreme speed of reaching the extreme, also made a course adjustment during the short start-up interval and then went into standby, while the other thruster at the front was activated for the first time, and then the ship was gradually slowed down in a vacuum by reversing the work.

After that, Freya waited a little longer........

It wasn't until the totem group at the gravitational terminal had warmed up and the ship had reached the most suitable position that she controlled the corresponding part and formed a spell effect at maximum power.

There are many laws of physics and magic in this world, but they are actually in a state of 'not knowing why', 'understanding the process of occurrence', and 'being able to use their effects', and the 'gravitational effect' where the real principle is still in the fog is one of them;

Therefore, the purpose of this set of totemic spells is to weaken the star's ability to capture the spaceship and deepen the influence of the Infernal Star's gravitational field on the spaceship......

Therefore, at this moment, the two celestial bodies jointly generated a gravitational field channel to the orbit of Infernal Star, so that the spacecraft could smoothly navigate the optimal course after entering it, and while throwing a series of communication and detection satellite constellations from large to miniature, it seemed to 'glide' to the intended location with ease.

In the process, the mimic spacecraft, which was originally a long cylinder, gradually became a strange, double-spherical space station structure, and 'turned off' the front thruster, gave up interference with the gravitational field, and only relied on a vacuum and low-drag environment to maintain its required speed and altitude.

Subsequently, Freya adjusted the operation mode of the new space station, and then released the fusion state of each area and the cells in batches, and gradually transferred the control to the brain terminal, until they reached stable operation before they were completely separated.

As a result, the in-orbit and exploration preparations for the Purgatory Star space station have been completed, and Freya has withdrawn from her combined form with Agatha, allowing the number of passengers on the station to return to two......

~~~~~~~~

"What's next....... Do you want to go straight down, or do you want to be more conservative and explore remotely first? ”

Agatha, who had just 'returned' from the inner vision, had already merged and formed alone, and at this time, she was manipulating the metal flow on her body to form a gauze garment, and asked Freya who was sitting in front of the light curtain of the brain.

"It's better to be conservative for the sake of safety, no one is chasing us behind the ass anyway, it's better to spend some time than to lose a clone, isn't it?"

"That's fine, let's activate the surface beacon first, right, I'll see how much ...... I've lost"

After taking a seat on the other side, Agatha connected her hair to her brain and controlled the signal generator in the space station, connecting to the constellation of satellites released during the earlier orbit.

As a result, the communication equipment specially set up as a 'solar physical satellite' in order to save the consumption of high-energy cell sap sent electromagnetic signals from all sides of the purgatory star to the surface, trying to penetrate the thick greenhouse atmosphere below to reach the surface........

In the area around the many base preparation sites that have been preliminarily identified, the Republic has left many 'beacons' in the last exploration program, and reserved high-energy cell sap reserves at their cores, so that they can enter a dormant state with minimal consumption.

To this day, although most of them have depleted their drive reserves in the harsh environment and various accidents, so they have been forced to destroy without the blessing of the totem, but it seems that there are still a very small number of 'lucky ones' who have survived.......

Therefore, at this time, the surface of Purgatory is relatively 'safe', and between the two areas, there are three beacons that react after receiving the signal from the space station;

The totemic inscription at the core of their inner core, lit up at a high density in an instant, and after firing directions into the air, it fell into complete silence as the reserves were depleted, and only a moment later it was destroyed like the 'brothers' who had existed earlier.

"Only three beacons survived, this loss rate is really high...... "Agatha, who received the signal, muttered, "It seems that there is no way to save high-energy cell fluid, otherwise this base will not be maintained at all...... Poor Beastmaster, I'm going to have to make you work hard again. ”

"Okay, hurry up and confirm the signal position first, see if the mark is a preparatory construction point, hopefully ..... Otherwise, we'll have to work hard to find the right place. ”

"Well, those places have the highest density of beacons, so in terms of probability, it should be right...... Yes, it is sent from a predetermined point; ”

Agatha immediately confirmed after deciphering the number,

"Two of the signal points coincide, one of the signal points is relatively far apart, and according to their relative position, the other recorded points can be deduced...... I've deduced it, and I'm going to pass it on to you now. ”

"Okay, then I'll take a look at ...... first"

A few of these locations are actually the preferred choice in the reserve, but the beacons reserved there have lost contact, but the other two points, which have been marked as secondary selections, have previously received signal feedback;

Moreover, the thick atmosphere of Infernal Star is very unfriendly to orbital observation, which makes it difficult for them to confirm the true condition of the surface from their current position, so at this moment, looking at the calculated azimuth coordinate system in front of them, Freyamo rubbed her chin and thought about the choice of exploration later......

Do you want to explore directly from the 'survival point', or do you put your resources and energy on the more promising side of the preparation? ’

"Let's start exploring from the point where the best plan is......" Freya made a decision after a while, and continued, "The space station will change orbit to the predetermined coordinates, replenish the high-energy cell fluid for the 25 anti-gravity, anti-corrosion, and strong wind exploration vehicles, and release the first batch of 3 aircraft when they reach the predetermined position. ”

"Agatha, you doppelganger to analyze the overflow atmosphere in the outer layer, and I continue to pay attention to the aircraft's in-depth exploration of the middle and lower atmosphere...... The brain is responsible for controlling the specific execution. ”

"Understood~"

After agreeing, I saw that Agatha's body immediately split into two, the larger one of which still stopped in place, maintaining a connection to the brain, while the smaller one burrowed into the floor of the control room and disappeared;

And after a moment's work, and when she had done these acts, she replied again,

"I'm heading to the gas collection chamber below, and I'll have the results later."

"Understood."

At the same time, the space station also began to execute a series of previous commands under the control of Zhi Brain.....

[The engine has been started, the space station is changing orbits, and the exploration vehicle is being recharged.........]

A blue glow emanates from the side ends of the two spheres above and below the space station, and moves the entire body into displacement.

And after a moment had passed, a new response ran down the plexus into the minds of the two elves;

[The orbit change is over, the aircraft is fully charged, and it can be put into ....... at any time]

When this message arrived, Freya was about to give the corresponding order, but was interrupted by another message that followed;

[Severe thunderstorms have been observed in the atmosphere in the target area, and alternative solutions are being generated.......]

[Option 1, activate the magnetic energy shield, and the expected detection time is reduced by 33%; 】

[Option 2, bypassing the target atmospheric airspace, is expected to reduce the detection time by 22%; 】

[Plan 3..... 47%】

[Plan 4..... 68%】

[Do you want to do it?] 】

"The first batch of exploration vehicles will be increased to 5, one will turn on the magnetic shield, approach to detect the intensity and specific cause of the thunderstorm, and the other four will turn on the anti-corrosion blessing, 8 lights apart from each other, and detour the airspace to collect gas samples;"

After thinking for less than a breath, Freya gave a new command, and continued,

"Two more supply vehicles will be activated, ready to replenish the cell fluid for the exploratory type."

[Understanding, ........ in execution]

In orbital horizon, the spherical structure above the space station opened two closed hatches, and two rotary vehicles about 13 meters in diameter were seen emerging from them, and in the absence of any observable engine fireworks, they flew down in a dripping rotation towards the turbid dark yellow and rare thunder light in the flickering atmosphere.

Among them, a flying machine with a blue light visible to the naked eye around its body landed straight towards the thunderstorm area;

The other, with its dense totem inscriptions visible only on the surface, was spinning and flying farther away, as if preparing to bypass the thunderstorm area below and enter the atmosphere from elsewhere.

"Sister, I have a result here....."

While various operations were being carried out on the space station, Agatha, who was next to Freya, suddenly spoke,

"It's no different from the data analysis done on the home planet, and it does capture a very small amount of element 1 and its isotope overflow, which should be from magma moisture."

"That's good..... It's good to have water, which saves us a lot of trouble. ”

"But it's a little strange, I still can't figure out how there can be water on such a planet, or in magma...... Could it really be that, as we guessed, this big guy down there used to have liquid water like the sea? ”

"Probably..... We will have to wait until we go down to get a similar estimate. ”

"Well, when will it go down?"

"Wait, we must really determine the composition of the middle and lower atmosphere, as well as the surface environment, before we can have the lost adjustment of the body, or the function of the inscription."

"Well, hopefully as I did with the analysis, I don't really want to wear heavy hazmat suits."
