Chapter 2 Landing
I don't know how long it took, but Reilly woke up from the sharp pain on his skin, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the escape pod was already in flames.
Reilly stretched out his hand and pressed the switch on the seat of the escape pod to release the safety protection, but after pressing the seat of the escape pod a few times there was no response, Reilly angrily clenched his fist and smashed the switch, and the safety protection was unlocked.
Almost all escape pods are equipped with a dry powder fire extinguisher, and the fire extinguisher in the escape pod where Reilly is located fell to the ground at this time, it is estimated that the escape pod was shaken open by the shock when it broke out of the Aurora, Reilly quickly picked up the fire extinguisher on the ground, and then opened the safety of the fire extinguisher and sprayed towards the flames.
Luckily, the dry powder fire extinguisher worked properly, and the flames in the escape pod were quickly extinguished thanks to the dry powder.
Looking at the turbid air in the escape cabin, Reilly sighed and took out the portable computer PDA from his waist, Lei used his hand to knock on the emergency mode on the PDA, and after more than ten seconds of loading, the PDA successfully entered the operational interface.
The PDA is connected to the all-environment protective suit he is wearing, and the PDA sends a prompt voice that detects a slight concussion from Reilly.
Reilly smiled wryly as he recalled the memories of the escape pod landing.
There was only one dry chemical fire extinguisher at his disposal in the PDA operation interface, and Reilly reluctantly put away the PDA, and then checked the status panel of the escape pod.
Only one of the solar cells is working.
Circuit test: Failed.
Second system: offline.
Radio: Offline.
Emergency Signal Broadcast: Failed.
Flotation Equipment: Unfolded.
Hull Integrity: Good.
Reilly looked at the status panel of the escape pod and muttered to himself, "The flotation device is deployed? No wonder I always felt that the escape pod was wobbly, and it turned out to be at sea. Except for the integrity of the hull, everything else is terrible. ”
Next, Reilly went to check out the workbench, which is the basic 3D printing workbench designed by Altra, and can easily make many basic tools.
Seeing that the workbench was working, Reilly let out a long breath.
"Let's fix the backup system of the radio and the escape pod first." With that, Reilly climbed up the ladder out of the escape pod.
What caught my eye was the huge hull of the Aurora in the distance, at this time the attitude of the Aurora was unbalanced, and thick black smoke was emitted from all parts of the hull, but the integrity of the hull was good, and perhaps it could continue to sail after a period of repair.
Reilly looked away from the Aurora and looked around, but as far as the eye could see, there was no sign of an island or land.
Standing on the top of the escape pod and looking underwater, you can clearly see many small fish swimming around in the water, and the bottom of the water is also clearly visible, obviously the water here is not deep.
After confirming that the water was safe, Reilly jumped into the sea, holding his breath and opening his eyes in the water, looking for resources to use.
There were a lot of fragments of the Aurora's hull under the water, and these fragments could be broken down to obtain a large amount of metal titanium, so Reilly decisively picked up four or five pieces.
At this time, Reilly saw a white spot in an underwater cave, and looked at it to see that it was a very pure quartz, Reilly immediately swam towards the underwater cave, picked up the quartz with a wave of his big hand, and looked at the crystal clear quartz and laughed stupidly.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the depths of the underwater cavern, like the cry of a baby, and when Reilly looked down, he saw a round red ball swimming towards him.
When the red ball swam closer, he realized that it was a creature similar to a pufferfish, and the strange sound was also made by this guy, and Reilly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he spread his hands and swam towards the surface of the water.
The red ball chased after Reilly, and soon chased to Reilly's feet, at this time it stopped, its body continued to expand, Reilly subconsciously shrank his feet, and the red ball exploded instantly, and the power of the explosion shook Reilly back two or three meters.
Even in the water, Reilly had a feeling of cold sweat all over his body, if he hadn't shrunk his feet just now, it was estimated that his leg would have broken even if he kept breaking.
Sensing the dangers hidden in this environment, Reilly decided to return to the escape pod first to make some tools before coming out.
Back in the escape pod, Reilly first broke down the metal fragments into titanium, and then used the resources he had just collected to build a small oxygen cylinder, a scanner, and a flashlight on the workbench.
Holding the scanner in his right hand, Reilly scanned himself with his left hand, and the results showed that there was nothing wrong with his body, just a slight bacterial infection.
After getting the satisfactory results, Reilly checked the crafting menu of the workbench, looked at some of the resources needed to make the tools he needed, and after determining the goal, Reilly went to the sea again.
After going into the sea, Reilly immediately swam towards the underwater cave where he had just found Quartz, because he looked at the operation bench just now and looked at the information, the creature just now was likely to be a self-detonating pufferfish, and sulfur can usually be found in the area where this puffer fish is active, and he now needs a sulfur to make a repair tool, so he can only risk his life to explore the underwater cave again.
After entering the underwater cave, Rayleigh did find sulfur in a petal-shaped object at the bottom of the cave, and collected a lot of quartz along the way, and only had a little oxygen left before Rayleigh returned to the surface.
Refueled with oxygen, Reilly dived into the sea again, where he found a large green forest of seaweed directly underwater, and some of the seaweed vines were covered with yellow, orange and orange seaweed seeds, which were excellent raw materials for making silica gel and lubricants.
——Continuing to collect resources——
When it was completely dark, Reilly returned to the escape pod, where he put down all the resources he had just collected and used the pod's workbench to disassemble and refine them one by one.
Once he had made the tools he needed, Reilly first picked up a welder to repair the damaged circuitry in the escape pod.
More than thirty minutes later, Reilly connected the last line, the lights of the escape pod finally turned on, the backup system officially responded and began to work, the turbid air in the escape pod was slowly replaced to the outside world, and at the same time, an environmental scan report was transmitted to Reilly's PDA, and now Reilly can finally gasp for breath.
But the radio was still sparkling at this time, and Reilly didn't bother to rest, picked up the welder and continued to repair the radio.
After a while, the radio was repaired.
The theoretical range of the radio broadcast distance equipped with the escape capsule is only 250KM (km), so the transmission and reception of the broadcast signal can theoretically only be carried out on this planet, and the broadcast signal cannot be transmitted to the extraterrestrial planet to request support.
As soon as the radio was repaired, it automatically sent out a distress signal, and a reply from the Aurora was quickly received.
Radio: This is the Aurora. A distress signal is received. Rescue will be at 9 ...... 9…… 9…… 9…… 9…… Arrive at your location in hours. Please continue to monitor the condition of other escape pods.
Reilly lamented that this was a blessing in disguise, that there were still people on the Aurora who had survived and had the ability to rescue them.
As soon as he turned around, the radio received another broadcast signal, and Reilly clicked the radio play button.
Radio: This is Escape Pod No. 10, carrying 2 crew members, landing on the water 400 meters to the left of the Aurora's first main engine, and the cabin is 60% complete. The flotation device has been deployed, but the flotation gas is leaking. It is estimated that the escape pod will fail and sink in two hours, and colleagues who received the broadcast signal nearby are requested to come to the rescue immediately.
This escape pod is not far from the No. 5 escape pod where Reilly is, and Reilly is estimated to be able to reach the No. 10 escape pod in less than ten minutes, but he hesitated when he listened to the sound of the radio from the No. 10 escape pod, because the voice on the radio was Rocky, who was very unpleasant to see Reilly yesterday.
