I’ll add some practice in the real world

Chapter 243 242 Grouping and Walking Alone

Pierre! Be quiet!

This is a second home! Not Earth!

We are the pioneers of mankind. We are opening up a new world and exploring a planet suitable for human habitation. What does this sacrifice mean?

Think about Magellan, who explored the world in history. His fleet was away for three years and cost more than 200 lives on the way. He even got aboard, and we only lost four members of the crew. The unshaven middle-aged white man who spoke was seen driving the vehicle while roaring at the black member of the passenger seat. He was obviously also having a hot temper.

F # ¥U! Jason, there are no damn monsters on the earth. I would rather go back to Magellan's old path than stay in this damn place for one more day! A tall black man and a middle-aged white man quarreled. When they got up, the whole team was filled with an atmosphere of depression and tension.

As for the mixed-race young man Bruce, he was squatting in the back row of the lunar rover, looking at the distant horizon with a telescope, and then looked down at the draft map in his hand, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and interrupted. The quarrel between the two people in the front row was over: Jason, how much battery is left in the car?

The battery capacity is still 32% and can last for 56 kilometers. This damn place is full of deserts, with long daylight hours of up to 24 hours, and the solar panel charging efficiency is very high.

What's wrong? Bruce, have you discovered something new? the middle-aged white man asked with his ears pricked up.

From Jason's perspective, this mixed-race young man kept silent all the way. His patience and determination were far superior to the two of them, and he would only speak suddenly at critical moments.

There is a new discovery!

About ten kilometers ahead, there are signs of water. It is not yet certain whether it is a river or a lake! The mixed-race young man pursed his dry lips and said with a slight smile.

What? Bruce, you found the source of water? God bless you!

Bruce, you are like a silent sphinx! When you open your mouth, you will bring good news!

Finally, I don't have to drink filtered urine anymore! The black man named Pierre was overjoyed when he heard this.

10 kilometers?

I know! Jason's face was also full of excitement. He stopped arguing with the black man next to him and stepped on the switch to accelerate forward.

Soon the specially-made all-terrain vehicle was raising smoke and dust, passing through a large area of ​​sandy hills and arriving at the edge of a blue sea.

Haha! It's the sea!

It's the ocean of this planet!

God bless! Looking at the waves rising on the beach, Pierre jumped out of the car first, holding the rifle in his hand, and ran all the way from the beach to the seaside.

The clear water, carrying waves, washed over the beach and submerged his ankles.

Pierre, be safe! Don't forget those strange beasts! Seeing that the black man was about to take off his clothes and jump into the sea for a swim, Jason, a middle-aged white man, immediately shouted a reminder from behind.

Alien beast? Damn Fake! Upon hearing this, Pierre was all excited, and he retreated from the tide to the shore in three steps at a time.

As for the mixed-race young man, he took a water quality monitoring instrument from the car, carefully approached the water and scooped some. After looking at the water composition on the monitor, his face twitched slightly and he said: Guys, here it is. The seawater can be directly used as raw material for the salt farm! It seems that if you want to extract it into fresh water, you will have to waste some effort.

What's the salinity? Jason on the side came over and took a look at the instrument data displayed by the mixed-race young man. His face also darkened and he cursed: Hou Li Crab! 46% salinity? This is higher than the highest salinity of the Dead Sea. high!

You know, the average salinity of the Pacific Ocean on Earth is about 3.5%, which is equivalent to 3.5 grams of dissolved matter diluted in 100 grams of seawater.

The Dead Sea has the highest salt content among many large waters on the planet. The highest salinity is about 33.7%. At this salinity, ordinary fish cannot survive in it. Only bacteria and plankton can survive.

Moreover, the higher the salinity, the stronger the buoyancy of seawater. Ordinary people can lie flat and float on the surface of the Dead Sea without using a swimming ring or a newspaper.

The salinity of the ocean in front of us is one level higher than that of the Dead Sea. If you take a sip, it won't be a problem for your throat, and it can be given away directly.

The salt content is too high, and the permeable membrane we brought cannot achieve large-scale desalination at all.

The only way is to use soil... Fortunately, there is enough sunshine here, and the temperature is above 38 degrees... The mixed-race young man analyzed, then looked up at the sunny sky, and waved to the big black man. : Pierre, let's work! If we want to drink clean fresh water, we can only rely on our human wisdom!

wisdom?

Then it's better to leave it to people like you Bruce! I'm still suitable to use muscles to solve the problem. Pierre made an ugly smile and raised one arm to show off his strong muscles.

The three of them took the excavation equipment from the car and began to work with the two of them to dig several large pits on the beach. Then they poured seawater into the pits, placed a bucket in the middle, and covered the pits with a layer of water. plastic film.

This is a simple solar still that can use the heat of sunlight to heat the seawater in the pit and evaporate it. The distilled fresh water vapor will condense on the upper film and finally drip into the middle bucket.

Then it's all about time! With the temperature so high, a bucket should be filled quickly. Looking at this simple pothole, the mixed-race young man sighed.

Although this strange planet is full of life minerals, the environment at their landing site is too harsh.

Except for the desert, it is a wasteland. In search of water, several members have died in the hands of strange beasts.

Fortunately, there is no end to the problem. After searching for more than a hundred kilometers south, the water source problem was finally solved temporarily.

Pierre, just keep an eye on the bucket inside. When it's full, just drink.

I'm going to observe the nearby terrain to see if there are any signs of activity by strange beasts.

Jason, use the radio to contact the other teams and ask them to come closer to us. If you want to bring more fresh water back, you have to rely on everyone's strength. The mixed-race young man behaved like a team leader. After a few words of instructions, the other two people were mobilized.

He himself took a telescope and climbed to a towering sand dune on the edge of the beach to observe the situation nearby.

Scanning all the way from the desert to the sea, a black shadow like a mountain in the depths of the sea caught his attention.

Is it an island? The mixed-race young man muttered and raised the magnification of the telescope. Soon he discovered the towering mountains on the island.

Is this a volcano?

No! The shape is so similar to the mountain where we landed... The mixed-race young man put down the telescope and rubbed his eyes, feeling as if something incredible had happened.

Using the camera to search the edge of the island, there was actually a raft with several figures sitting on it, floating out to sea from the island and sailing towards this beach.

At this moment, the mixed-race young man could not help but swallow his saliva, and his body trembled, as if he had discovered a new world. He could no longer maintain his composure, and shouted to the two team members who were busy on the beach: Guys! There's something going on. !”

Pierre and Jason, who were in charge of their own affairs, hurriedly dropped what they were doing when they heard the voice, quickly got on the terrain vehicle and sped towards the sand dunes.

Bruce, have you found any strange beasts? Jason's face was solemn, while the big black man stood ready with an automatic rifle in one hand and a grenade that could be pulled at any time.

With the death of several team members, the members of the joint expedition team that landed on this second home became like frightened birds.

It's not a strange beast!

It's an alien! Look! Bruce also skillfully grabbed a rifle from the back of the car and threw the binoculars to Jason.

What?

alien?

Intelligent creatures on this planet? When the two of them heard this, their expressions changed. Although they were mentally prepared before coming, their emotions were completely different when they actually encountered them.

As for Jason, he took a telescope and looked in the direction the mixed-race young man pointed, and found that there was really a raft like a ship sailing on the sea, constantly approaching.

“Aliens cross the sea on rafts?”

Then the civilization level of these aliens is no different from the uncivilized primitive people on the earth? Jason put down the telescope and analyzed with a slight twitch of face.

Let's hide first!

Even primitive people have to be careful. Don't forget that some of the strange beasts we encountered before are also harmless to humans and animals, Bruce suggested with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the other two nodded. The three of them drove their vehicle to hide behind a large sand dune, found a bunker, buried themselves in the sand, and used telescopes to constantly monitor the approaching raft.

As the raft got closer, several blurry black figures in the telescope began to become clearer. Jason saw clearly the clothing symbols worn by those people, and exclaimed: Bruce! It's not an alien! It belongs to a furry bear. Expedition team! I remember that this batch of rocket launchers happened to have a bear moon landing spacecraft, and the ground command center also said that they happened to be a few hours behind us.

Upon hearing that it was a human being, the big black man was the first to breathe a sigh of relief and put down the rifle he had been raising, while the mixed-race young man took the telescope and started observing again.

After seeing the physical features and faces of the people on the raft clearly, he suddenly stared and screamed: Why is she here?

Then he climbed out of the sand, shook the sand off his body, turned back and laughed at his two teammates: Guys! Do you believe in love at first sight?

What do you mean? Bruce? Are you in love? The two people lying on the sand didn't understand what the mixed-race young man meant.

After the mixed-race young man said a seemingly mindless remark, he no longer maintained his previous caution and calmness, and began to run wildly from the sand dunes to the beach, shouting and waving to the raft on the sea. .

Bruce, are you crazy? Even if it's the Bear's expedition, we can't have easy contact with them! Seeing this, Jason and Pierre had no choice but to follow them.

When the raft took more than 20 minutes to reach the coast with the help of the tide and wind, several fully armed members of the Bear Expedition got off the raft. In addition, among this group of people, there was also a large A woman who is obviously a bit smaller.

They saw this heroic woman wearing a silver-patterned combat uniform, frowning as she looked at the mixed-race young man who was yelling at them on the shore.

Beautiful Miss Linglong, I had a quick farewell in Antarctica last time. I thought about you day and night, Miss Linglong, and couldn't sleep at night.

I didn't expect that I could meet you here even though we are 380,000 kilometers away from the earth! It's really in line with the old saying of flower growers: We are destined to meet you thousands of miles away! The mixed-race young man was obviously extremely excited.

It's you! Zhao Zhen!

Don't you know there is another kind of fate called evil fate?

You still dare to appear in front of me? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now! Linglong recognized this mixed-race young man, her face turned cold, and her tone was cold, without the slightest hint of the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

WOW! Miss Linglong, I think you have misunderstood me! The last time we were in Antarctica, it was indeed very offensive, but that was all the idea of ​​that old guy Eugene.

I have now withdrawn from the Extreme Sports Association and am now a free agent.

As for my feelings for you, Miss Linglong, there is no adulteration at all. If Miss Linglong is still angry about the half of the meteorite. I thought of this planet, and we should let go of this little misunderstanding. After all, this is the place. There are those kind of magical stones everywhere. If you want Miss Linglong, I can give you a meteorite as big as a mountain. Just think of it as an apology to Miss Linglong! Zhao Zhen waved his hand and hurriedly explained, stretching out his hand. He gestured with two fingers, as if to say that the previous conflict was very insignificant.

Zhao Zhen, you are very eloquent!

How can the relationship between Eugene and you be broken off at once? Don't think that with a few guns here, I can't do anything to you.

This is not the earth! There is no glacier crack that can help you! As he spoke, light steam rose from the top of Linglong's head, obviously ready to take action.

Bruce, is your woman your sweetheart?

You seem to have a bad temper, can you bear to marry me home? The big black man following behind Zhao Zhen, although he could not understand the Chinese communication between the two, could not help but interject, and pulled the gun bolt. express one's presence.

With his action, the other furry bear explorers also became alert, raised their firearms and pointed them at the three of them.

Including Jason, who also raised his gun and pulled a fragmentation grenade from the mount on his chest. For a while, the entire beach fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Want to fight? I'm always with you! Jason grinned, with a hint of a Western cowboy on his tough, bearded face. He felt that facing a group of members of the Bear Expedition would be better than facing those deadly beasts. Strange beasts are strong.

At this moment, the sound of several motors came from behind the sand dunes in the distance, and the other two expedition teams that received the radio message drove to rush.

Seeing two groups of people confronting each other on the beach, a bearded man jumped out of one of the cars and rushed between the two groups to argue: Friends! On this strange planet, I don't think we need to be so tense, right?

We are all human beings, so we should work together to explore this strange planet! Brother Ivan, I think you must have encountered the strange beasts on this planet, right?

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, especially the leader of the bear team. After seeing the bearded man, he lowered his gun slightly: Abra! I didn't expect you to come here too. Planet! It has been more than ten years since we last trained together in the Arctic.

Ivan, I didn't expect that we would be reunited in this way. How are you, instructor Peru? The bearded man smiled at the burly bear. It was obvious that the two had a deep friendship.

The instructor has retired, but he also plans to land on this planet to see if he can find further hope. The brawny bear responded with a shrug.

This planet has magical energy that allows the body to transform and evolve. I think the instructor will not miss it.

But if you want to take root on this planet, you must first be consistent with the outside world and conquer those alien beasts first! The bearded man continued to change the topic and ease the tense atmosphere between the two parties.

Seeing both sides slowly lowering their guns, the bearded man breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Linglong, after staring at the group of expedition teams with different skin colors in front of her, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and then she said to the mixed-race young man who smiled playfully at her: Zhao Zhen, didn't you say that Won't you lie to me? I can let you go for now, but you have to tell me all the information you know!

In addition to the information about those strange beasts, there is also information about the relic hanging around your neck and the seven-color ore!

As you said, life ore is worthless on this planet. The only valuable thing is the seven-color ore.

As soon as Linglong said this, the faces of the members of the expedition team who had learned Chinese changed. Especially after Zhao Zhen heard the description of the seven-color ore, his face twitched, revealing a bit of embarrassment, and his tone was no longer frivolous. Turning to a more serious tone: Miss Linglong... we did find traces of the seven-color ore, but there was a very scary large alien beast in that mining area. In order to obtain some samples of the seven-color ore, we even sacrificed the lives of several members For the price!”

For this lunar exploration operation, we combined the efforts of the Western Alliance, Eagle Country and several developed countries to assemble a large lunar landing spacecraft and barely sent 20 people to this second home.

But on the second day after arriving in this ghost place, we have already lost one-fifth of our manpower. I think even if you flower growers and the furry bears join forces, they won't be able to bear such a loss!

Looking at the sincere face of the mixed-race young man opposite, Linglong knew that the other party had probably made a mistake again and mistook her for an expedition member of the flower grower. However, she did not expose it: You only need to take me to the mining area. That’s it, we will solve the rest of the problems ourselves.”

Since Miss Linglong is interested, I will naturally risk my life to accompany you! But before that, we have to collect drinking water supplies.

The road from here is all desert, without any trace of an oasis...

As the atmosphere calmed down, people from both sides began to communicate and exchanged some information.

As the bearded man said, we are all human beings, and we should temporarily put aside our grudges on earth on this strange planet.

After all, in such a special environment, ordinary people can only survive if they cooperate. It is obviously difficult to achieve long-term success by working alone.

But, there are always some unusual cases in this world!

In a mountainous area an unknown number of kilometers away from this beach, Chen Jue was flapping his wooden wings and the little parrot flying beside him, avoiding the pursuit of a large group of strange giant rats with red eyes behind him.

These giant rats are shaped like rabbits, with heads like rats. Their limbs are spread out, and their fur is pulled into a parachute shape. They squeak and scream incessantly.

The reason why they chased Chen Jue was because when he landed on a mountain just now, Chen Jue picked a few red fruits from a giant tree that looked like a crabapple.

Forget it if snakes can fly, now even mice can fly!

They all say that if you poke a hornet's nest, you'll be in trouble, but I've never heard of someone who pokes a rat's nest! I'm so sorry!

The first update is here, everyone has been waiting for a long time. There will be a monthly voting event at the end of the month. If you have a vote, please remember to vote. These days, two-in-one stamps should be distributed, and we strive to exceed 10,000 per day.
