Chapter 523 Login
A small shuttle hovers in the void. Below the shuttle, a blue, green and brown planet rotates slowly and endlessly. Sometimes a large white swath floats across the surface of the planet, like a hazy layer. The veil adds a bit of mystery to the planet.

The shuttle is not big, and is considered a standard configuration of the Brown Star exile spacecraft. It is used for interaction between spacecrafts or for planet landing. The maximum number of people it can carry is 30 people, but that will cause the cabin to be quite crowded. Therefore, according to the habits of the Brown Star people, , each shuttle usually only carries about 15 people. Of course, based on recent calculations, each shuttle can only carry one or two people.

But at this moment, there are 25 people crammed into the shuttle, which is close to the capacity limit. Although Shure has repeatedly emphasized before that the first test is quite dangerous, and no one can predict what will happen, so volunteers should not exceed 15 people, and He tried his best to choose irreplaceable professionals in various fields, but he still underestimated the determination of the Brown Star people. When he sent the survey team to the selected destination to complete the measurement, not only the survey team refused to return, but he came back to pick up the volunteers. By that time, it was discovered that the number of volunteers had far exceeded expectations.

It was only after he forcibly stopped it that the number of volunteers was reduced to 25. Otherwise, it was very likely that there would be more than 100 people.The reasons for these volunteers are also very good. Either they have already trained the next captain, or two or three people serve as captains together like Delia's parents. Even if one of them disappears for this, it will not happen. Influence the journey of the exile fleet.In this case, instead of staying on the spacecraft, it is better to devote yourself to this test. No matter what the final result is, it can be regarded as contributing to the future of the Brown Star Civilization. Even if it fails in the end, even if the Brown Star Civilization cannot escape destruction in the end. , they are also worthy of their race.

It was irrefutable, and this enthusiasm was even more unbearable. After reluctantly dissuading most of the applicants on the grounds of avoiding unnecessary sacrifices, 23 people still entered the shuttle together with Xulmoria. According to the plan, the exile fleet continued its journey of exile at half speed while waiting for news from the volunteers. No, it was definitely impossible for the volunteers to send back news. What they were waiting for was news from Shull and Moria.

"I'll remind you one last time." He looked back at the volunteers of different ages and genders behind him, "Although there is no danger on the planet, there are many dangers inside the big rift. This is the first time we try to send real life into the rift space. , the possibility of accidents is extremely high. I admit that you are very courageous, and you are likely to become the pioneers of the new brown star civilization, or even the pioneers of the Twisted Void Community, but you have to think about one thing clearly, only those who survive are Pioneers, those who die can only be called martyrs, you..."

"Mr. Seure." Among the volunteers, Ryan, who is most familiar with Seure, interrupted him, "We are all here now, so there is no need to persuade us anymore. Everyone understands that you have good intentions, but since we are here , we are already determined to die. No matter how much you persuade us, it is impossible to change our minds, so let’s not waste time.”

"Tsk, whatever you want." Shuer curled his lips and glared at Ryan and his wife.Yes, Delia was inconvenient to participate because of her important status and being the only true cleric among the existing Brown Star believers. However, her parents came with her. Shuer originally thought that Delia Ya would object, but she didn't expect that the child actually supported his parents' decision.Although Ryan is not in good health and it is difficult to move by himself. He usually relies on a wheelchair to move around, but after receiving a set of lower limb exoskeletons to assist mobility, he can move normally. This kind of equipment is not good for the body, so Normally no one would use it, but now they obviously don’t care about it that much anymore.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you." Shuer sighed, "Control the system and start landing."

"The landing order has been logged in and will be executed in ten seconds." The mechanized prompt responded immediately, "All passengers are requested to gather on the central platform and wait for landing. For the personal safety of all passengers, please do not leave the central platform during landing. Please do not make any strenuous movements as landing begins.”

"Boom", a long tail flame was ejected from the tail of the shuttle, pushing the shuttle into the atmosphere of the stars. The shuttle was jolting violently, but the adjustment equipment in the central hall was enough to offset this high-frequency vibration. Passengers will feel too much discomfort.

"Just take this opportunity to explain your work to the captains." Shuer looked curiously at the fire caused by traveling through the atmosphere at high speed outside the observation window. After all, a certain priest who claimed to be a primitive man had never seen it before. However, after looking at this strange sight for a while, he lost interest. Shuuer turned to the captains who were full of expectations, "When we left three days ago, the five captains of the survey team had already set up a small camp. However, since most of the space of the shuttle is used to carry measuring instruments and not much supplies are carried, the camp is too small. After everyone arrives, in addition to helping the survey team complete the subsequent in-depth survey work, the most important task is planning and Build a large temporary camp.”

"Mr. Seure." An unfamiliar captain asked, "How many people should the camp be able to accommodate? Also, how long is the long-term camp?"

"According to Lady Luna's judgment, this planet will be swallowed by the Great Rift in seventeen days. After the swallowing, a test period of seven to ten days will be needed to judge whether it can remain stable, including the round trip and dealing with various In case of possible unexpected events, we must ensure that the camp can operate normally within at least forty days, and must be self-sufficient in terms of food, drinking water, medical care, and security. All aspects must be guaranteed. You should know more about this than me. ." Shuer said thoughtfully, "As for the number of people, it is 30 people now, but... according to the 50-person plan, I believe that people from the main fleet will come to visit for various reasons, although I will We’ll blast them all back, but just in case, it’s better to make more preparations.”

"Hey, it's a bit troublesome." The captain who asked the question frowned and said in a tangled voice, "Fifty people insist on forty days. In this case, the supplies we carry may not be enough, especially consumable supplies. After all, the following situation I don't know much about which materials can be simply replenished on the spot and which ones need to be converted." "Don't worry too much about this. If nothing else happens, the measurement team should have set up a communication station by now. If the materials It's not enough. You can use an unmanned shuttle to send it from the main fleet at any time." Shuuer sighed, "It should be said that it is definitely not enough. I always feel that your Brown Star people's understanding of 'temporary' camps is different from ours. Forget it. , I am not qualified to interfere with this, just build it according to your habits. In short, it is because we need to continue to receive supplies, so I am so sure that someone will come to visit."

"In addition, most of the living supplies can be replenished on-site on this planet. As you just saw outside the planet, there are abundant water resources, a large amount of native vegetation, and a large number of native animals, such as... …Those ones."

"Boom", the shuttle finally broke through the thick atmosphere and entered the target planet. In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed drastically. It was no longer a dark space or a violently burning atmosphere. What people saw before their eyes was It is blue sky, clear water, green land, and loess. It is a planet full of hope and vitality.

Directly below the shuttle was an invisible sea. The height of the shuttle suddenly dropped, and it began to fly horizontally at a height of tens of meters above the sea. The speed that broke through the sound barrier brought about violent airflow, leaving a deep streak on the water surface. Deep cracks.

Along the way, you can see several large islands visible to the naked eye standing on the sea. The lush vegetation on the islands is thriving. Flocks of seabirds were frightened by the shuttles and flew around the islands in panic. The aquatic animals in the sea also took advantage of them. Jumping out of the sea following the waves, he looked curiously at the shuttle in the sky.

"Wow!" Huge waves suddenly rose from the water on the flank. A giant sea beast stretched out its neck more than ten meters long and spat out a long column of water into the sky. A group of seabirds circled around the neck of the giant beast and pecked at it quickly. A sea creature attached to the neck of a behemoth.

The shuttle flew very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the islands and sea beasts were left behind, and the horizon appeared in the distance.Towering mountains, towering giant trees, and giant beasts several meters high are running in groups on the brown land. Some raise their heads and greedily eat the fresh branches and leaves on the trees, and some lower their heads and eat with big mouths. Devouring the bloody corpses on the ground, smaller beasts shuttled back and forth between the giant beasts, continuing their lives in the gaps.Perhaps they saw the shuttle appearing. Several giant beasts bared their sharp teeth in the direction of the shuttle and let out loud roars.

"Oh, many of the protozoa here are not that friendly." Shuer was not surprised by the size of these creatures. Compared with the terrifying giant beasts from the Parvatiga mythological era, the protozoa here are not that friendly. It's not worth mentioning at all. He just shrugged casually and said to the other Brown Star people, "However, they can indeed provide a lot of consumable materials. I think even if you don't cultivate the native Brown Star creatures, you can still stay here for a long time. ...Tsk, you have the same reaction."

No wonder Shuer sighed, because when he turned around, he saw 23 Brown Star people crowded in front of several observation windows, greedily looking at the vibrant scene outside the window, tears flowing uncontrollably on everyone's face , some people even fell to their knees and let out suppressed sobs.

Like the five people before, they had wandered until the day before yesterday, and finally saw the hope of settling down. How could they control their feelings?

While the brown star people were crying, a roar that was obviously from a hot weapon suddenly sounded from a distance, followed by the screams of giant beasts.
