Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 94 In-depth Exploration (I wish you all a happy Year of the Monkey!)
Only then did Xiao Cheng carefully place Xiaoqi in the dormant cabin, and then walked towards the armor replacement cabin.

The vegetation was too dense, and the starship could not land. The "Chuxin" entered a hovering static state when it descended to about 5 meters. Xiao Cheng jumped down from the buffer cabin. For this trip, he put on individual armor , and a jungle camouflage module is specially loaded. After a certain distance of free fall, the boosters on the armored feet and back are automatically activated. After a slight attitude adjustment, it flies towards the scheduled landing.

Because it was detected that thousands of large bird life forms were inhabiting the top of the forest below, Xiao Cheng had to temporarily change direction and enter the dense forest from the other end 15 kilometers away. You must know that even if the armor performance is excellent, you must avoid Being harassed by large-scale birds and rampaging, that is a suicide act that only a fool would do.

Xiao Cheng maintains normal contact with the "Chuxin", and can call for air support at any time when he encounters a danger that cannot be solved. With the firepower of the "Chuxin", there should be no flesh and blood that can resist it.

But after entering the dense forest, Xiao Chengcheng found that the communication signal with the "Chuxin" became unstable, and it seemed to be greatly disturbed!However, the hive detector robot did not find any danger. Although Xiao Cheng was a little uneasy, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, it is normal for alien planets to have special unknown environments for humans. His trip was only to search No surviving human beings intend to explore the planet in detail.

The trees in this jungle are extremely tall. According to the scan, the plants in this area are mainly fir trees, with an average height of about 200 meters. When flying away from the fog layer, the signal will return to normal, but if it enters the fog or below it, it will be severely disturbed. He uses the unique space coherent communication technology of the Odin Kingdom, and he will suffer some interference, indeed. It was unbelievable, but there was no special result from scanning the fog. It would be difficult for other ordinary communication methods to penetrate this weird fog. No wonder the distress signal was also intermittent.

Since the jungle camouflage system was activated, the armor could instantly simulate the surrounding environment, so it did not alarm the weird reptiles below. However, due to the lush trees, it took nearly 20 minutes to arrive at a distance of more than ten kilometers. According to the scanner , The distress signal was sent from 100 meters ahead. Now, after entering the dense forest, the distress signal has stopped sending. It seems that it should be a timing sending device.

Xiao Cheng stood firmly on the thick branch, no longer hesitated, and jumped towards the destination. Seven or eight creatures similar to winged birds perched no more than ten meters above his head, but they didn't notice Xiao Cheng's existence at all.

Carefully landed on a tree 50 meters away from the signal destination, Xiao Cheng cautiously turned on the scanning device again, and at the same time adjusted the power of the life search device to the maximum. Unfortunately, no human traces were found. However, the signal of the biological repellent was scanned at a distance of 30 meters.This kind of biological repellent is one of the standard equipment in the escape pod. It can emit a special wave frequency with a radius of 20 meters. Creatures other than humans will immediately feel a nausea and fear when entering this wave frequency range. Emotions, instinctively, turn away without causing adverse sequelae to the creature.

On each of the four corners at an equal distance, there is a normal working biological repellent device like this. Since someone installed this device, it means that someone survived at least five years ago. Xiao Cheng regained his energy and flew towards it In the past, finally arrived at the place where the distress signal was.It is exactly the same as the model given by the hive detector. It is a simple house transformed from an escape cabin. The open space in front of the escape cabin has been cleaned very cleanly, and there are no traces of growing plants. Burnt firewood.

All this shows that there should be someone here, has he left?Xiao Cheng was a little puzzled, but no trace of human beings was found within a radius of 100 kilometers. After hesitating for a while, he came to the front of the escape cabin. The shape of the escape cabin was like a pine nut, about 4 meters long. Tall, it seems that it has been well maintained by its owner. The silver shell is as clean as new, with only a few newly fallen leaves sticking to the curved cabin. He lowered his head, and Xiao Cheng pressed his hand on the cabin door. On the control panel next to it, it was found that the controller had been damaged. I tried to push the hatch, but the hatch slid open smoothly to one side.

Slightly stunned, he looked inside, and found that the electrical system inside was still working normally. The sensor light in the cabin flickered and then turned on. After a brief glance, the cabin was also very clean and tidy, and the console and cabin The top is covered with leaf specimens of various plants.

He is an interesting person. According to what is inside, there should be only one person living here. However, it is very strange, where can he go?

Xiao Chengmao sneaked into the cabin and tried to start the control platform. Unexpectedly, the light screen on it flickered and then turned on normally. This surprised him again, and then he connected the connector to the light computer. above.

Xiao Cheng also opened the voyage record and began to check it. The most recent record was yesterday.

"On January 6694, 1 in the origin calendar, the Aitongzhuo star field, the crown constellation, the ASQ17 galaxy, in the unknown wormhole, the fifth year of the "Voyager" crash, 9257 months and 2 days, no search and rescue signal was contacted, new exploration The distance is 17 kilometers, no traces of companions have been found, and new species of ferns have been found, the specific data is..."

"On January 6694, 1 in the origin calendar, the Aitongzhuo star field, the crown constellation, the ASQ16 galaxy, in the unknown wormhole, the fifth year of the "Voyager" crash, 9257 months and 2 days, no search and rescue signal was contacted, new exploration The distance is 16 kilometers, no traces of companions have been found, and they were chased by swift beasts..."

……

These records are very simple, they are all daily life records. In the past five years, he has used his armor and has never given up his efforts to search for his companions. However, because his armor has no flight function, the progress of exploration has been very slow. A sense of loneliness came over his face between the lines. Xiao Cheng turned off the record a little moved, and checked the detailed accident records five years ago. It was as he guessed that after coming out of the wormhole, the professional heavenly ship The South Democratic Republic's exploration starship "Voyager" plunged into the asteroid belt, and the ship's hull was hit by huge debris on the spot and disintegrated. The man named Gu Feng was automatically sent to escape through the emergency exit. The cabin was fortunately ejected successfully.

In the asteroid belt, due to the shielding of the signal, he was unable to contact other people, so he could only drive the escape pod and spend several days to get out of the asteroid belt and go to this habitable star... In the following five years , he kept trying to send a distress signal and searched for traces of his companions, but found nothing.

"Nuwa, have you found any useful information?" Xiao Cheng asked in a muffled voice.

"No..." Nuwa quickly responded, "They are all ordinary records, and there is nothing of value. Do you want to wait here for his return?"

Xiao Cheng looked at the time, and it was the morning time on this planet, so he said: "He may have gone out, let's explore in the direction he went in yesterday, maybe we can see him."

"It's okay... this jungle always gives me an uncomfortable feeling..." Nuwa said slowly.

"Do you still feel this way?" Xiao Cheng teased in surprise, "If you want to feel something, it should be me!"

While speaking, he turned off the optical brain, exited the escape cabin, closed the cabin door carefully, and flew towards the direction in the flight record without hesitation.

"Let's be more cautious..." Nu Wa was obviously a little unhappy, "Although no abnormalities have been found so far."

　I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Monkey, happy family, happiness and health!
