ultimate skill

Chapter 12 Lake
The five-person team set off in the morning. This time, because of the long distance and numerous destinations, it would take several days to drive these roads. Due to the long time required to perform the mission, the supplies brought by everyone also increased a lot. It takes up a lot of space, and there are all kinds of tools, equipment and weapons. An off-road vehicle can't fit so many things, so two vehicles are prepared for this mission.Before departure, everyone discussed the route, first went to two scattered water sources, and then went to the farthest water source. The other destinations were roughly near the return journey, so that the arrangement could save a lot of travel.

The destination of the first stop is a water source more than 200 kilometers away from the base.The water sources selected as the mission target this time are all connected to the plains, and the surrounding areas are relatively flat, but this is a wild planet after all, and it is impossible to find a way. Flat and unobstructed flat land is the best way, but the natural formation Ordinary dirt roads, no matter how smooth they are, are full of potholes.Frank drove ahead with good driving skills, and Sun Xiang drove another car closely behind. It only takes two hours to drive more than 200 kilometers on the highway, but it took a full nine hours to drive on this wild planet. During these nine hours, Sun Xiang had a new understanding of the source power he possessed.

Compared with Frank, Sun Xiang's driving skills are far behind. Although he followed Frank, the big potholes that appeared on the road from time to time still made Sun Xiang tired of coping.On a small downward slope, Sun Xiang steered the steering wheel quickly to avoid two pits, and finally failed to escape another big pit that followed him. Seeing a wheel roll into it, he was usually diligent in practicing Yuanli Sun Xiang naturally used it in this emergency situation, and the effect was good. The car shook slightly, and the off-road vehicle rushed over. Zhou Tianhao, who was sitting behind the car, didn't notice it.

Sun Xiang didn't expect that his source force could support such a heavy vehicle. Although it was only supporting one wheel, it must be known that this is a moving vehicle. The support under the wheel not only needs to resist the weight of the vehicle body, but also needs to resist the weight of the wheels. For the tearing force of the support body, according to Taylor, the use of source force must also abide by the conservation of energy. Even if the energy loss rate when using source force is not counted, the energy used to resist the weight of the car body seems to be the same as the body itself. Can't provide it!Is it because I am special or is there a problem with Taylor's statement?I can't think of a reason just by thinking about it on my own. Now I simply put aside my doubts and use the opportunity of driving to become proficient in the use of source power.Sun Xiang seldom turned the steering wheel for the next drive, and continued to drive if there were pits or not. When encountering a big pit, he would use his ability. Although the drive was bumpy, Zhou Tianhao, who was sleeping drowsily in the back seat, didn't know anything about it. .

The first water source the team reached was a small lake. On the west side of the small lake, two small streams silently poured water into the oval-shaped lake. The pollution-free water was crystal clear.Around the lake, Sun Xiang saw the trees on this planet for the first time. The trees were tall but not densely distributed around the small lake.The pure and natural scenery here reminded Sun Xiang of Tibet. The same blue sky, lakes as pure as jewels, and vast land without people inhabited. bitter.

If this is a trip, everyone probably has already taken out their cameras, selected the angle, and scrambled to retain this purity, but they still have a task. Even if they use cameras or video cameras, they are only for the purpose of truly recording nearby images as data.It is planned that there is not much time to stay here. Before dark, everyone must hurry up and complete their work, the sampling of the sampling, the measurement of the measurement, and the investigation of the investigation.The environment affects the mood. Working in such a beautiful place, everyone can work very easily. When everyone completes their tasks, the sky darkens.

Sleeping in the wild, no electricity, no lights, and no entertainment, simple dinner, in order to prevent wild animals from attacking at night, it is necessary to arrange good people to take turns to watch the night, and have to drive a longer distance the next day, Team members who have no night watch task rest separately.

After exploring the two water sources, everyone finally arrived at the farthest goal of this mission. It was already noon on the fifth day. When they arrived here, the communication equipment could not reach the base at all. The base would use hot air balloons for a period of time every day. Bringing communication equipment up into the air, at this point the remote wilderness can also establish contact with the base, but this place cannot contact the base even at that time.This mission can't return according to the original route, the equipment used as a temporary communication relay can't be recovered, and can't be used in this mission. In previous missions, such a distant target was rarely arranged. I don't know why this mission was arranged so far. Far.

The long hours of running and working made the team members feel very tired except for Sun Xiang. It wasn't that Sun Xiang was lazy. These days, as the team leader, Sun Xiang had to be on duty every night, and he could only sleep three or four times a day. When he was young, he was still the driver of the second car, and his workload was no less than that of others. It stands to reason that he was the most tired member of the team, but besides eating a lot of food, he was very energetic now, which made the exhausted Zhou Tianhao Deeply jealous, when chatting with Suzanne, he said: "Sun Xiang didn't know what medicine he took during the recovery period. He didn't feel tired after working for such a long time, but his appetite gradually increased, and he was about to become a rice bucket. Go back to the earth base next time and ask his doctor in charge, so I can use it." Sun Xiang is deeply satisfied with his current physical condition, and continuous practice has allowed him to master the timing of using the source power better and better, although he can't achieve whatever he wants. Fine control, but coping with potholes while driving is no problem.

The area of ​​this lake is much larger than the sum of the previous two water sources. The diameter of the nearly circular lake is two kilometers. Work.Everyone is already familiar with this job, but this place is too big, and it may be too late to finish all the work before dark today, and it will take five days to get out. Everyone has been working and rushing, sleeping in the wild, I can’t even sleep well at night (you have to take turns to be on duty), and even Suzanne, who is well cared for in the team, has dark circles under her eyes. It seems that everyone needs to rest and recover today. There are three more in this mission. Water source and a local indigenous tribe need to go. Although Sun Xiang hopes to complete the task quickly and return to the base earlier, it is too much to continue to let everyone work in this state.

Two off-road vehicles were parked on a gentle hill by the lake, about 100 meters away from the lake shore, with a very wide view. According to the old rules, everyone was unloading their equipment from the vehicle and preparing to set off before starting.Sun Xiang signaled everyone to stop, and he had something to say: "It's been so many days, are you all tired?"

William cheered up and said: "Tired! But I can finish the work earlier and go back to the base to rest earlier." The other team members also nodded in agreement.

"After finishing here, there are still four points to go. Half of this task has not been completed yet. I think everyone should take it easy and complete the exploration of the west bank of the lake first. We will finish the rest tomorrow and rest early today. , I'll be on duty tonight, you guys have a good sleep and recover." Sun Xiang said to everyone with a smile.

"I finally got a good night's sleep today." Zhou Tianhao showed joy in his exhaustion, and lightly hammered Sun Xiang twice, "Brother Xiang, thank you for your hard work. When I regain my energy, I will be on duty at night!"

Susanna said with a worried face, "Captain, you are driving and on duty at night, and you will be on duty all night tonight. Aren't you tired? Don't force yourself, pay attention to your body."

Sun Xiang patted his chest and said with a smile: "Since my body recovered, my mental and physical condition has greatly improved. I haven't felt tired at all in the past few days. It's no problem to stay overnight today." The equipment waved, "Everyone, bring your things and finish the work on the West Bank first."

The arc-shaped west bank has a gentle terrain. There are many pebbles on the lake beach that have been washed away by the river and have lost their edges and corners. A small river flows into the lake through the west bank. Cruising in the clear lake water, there are occasional big rocks protruding from the water. The part of them covered with "green hair" in the water is often the meeting place for small fish.The trees here have already become a forest, and the place where they grow is some distance away from the lake. The branches and leaves are lush and lush, the lively small fish in the lake, and the lush forest by the lake make the whole environment look full of vitality.
