212 The Forgotten Corner 2
Compared with Claire, who seems more intimidating, the seemingly harmless woman is the devil. She actually puts a brain plug in her head, and can explore her position, status and even brain activities anytime and anywhere. She has to report to her every time she leaves this planet, otherwise she will have to enjoy the stimulation of the excessive stimulant.
Anhaka never wanted to try that taste again for several lifetimes. She used to treat things that make people think of themselves as good things. After this experience of excessive intake, she quit all of them. She was clean and she would burst into tears when she saw others using them.
"Okay, just wait on the launch platform. The shuttle arrives in two hours. You can play for a few more days this time. Don't forget to bring back the parts I ordered when you come back. There is a transport truck that needs maintenance."
Old John is the captain of this collection team. Usually, he will sit in the command center to fully monitor the operation status of the collection equipment. In fact, this work is more appropriate for Nuel to do it. Although his brain memory has been erased and caused permanent damage, other functions have not been lost. As a cloning pilot, it is much more efficient to communicate with the main brain.
But this guy is unwilling to stay in the command center, just as cloned pilots are not willing to stay on the surface of the planet. Even if there is no spacecraft to drive, they have to treat the transport vehicle as a spacecraft, running around between the collection point and the launch platform all day long, enjoying it.
Today is the 30th day, and it's time for vacation again, but Nuel doesn't want to have fun at the living space station, nor does he think what those women, drinks, fighting arenas, and racing stadiums are all about.
With Nuel, Old John must be worried about letting him stay here alone, so he had to stay with him. In fact, he was not too cold about those entertainment projects. No matter how fun things were, he was annoyed even if he had been playing with them for hundreds of decades.
When the shuttle left with Anhaka, Old John immediately put on the maintenance mecha and came to the cargo hold. He dragged out a large barrel from the small container in the corner, took it onto the transport vehicle and left the command center alone and drove towards the launch platform a hundred kilometers away.
On the vast ice field, the huge transport truck slowly wriggles like a small insect, and it takes two hours to travel a distance of ten kilometers. There is no way. There is too few exposed rocks on this planet. These are already the two closest pieces of land.
Old John had to re-plan the route after climbing less than five kilometers. A new gap was found in front of him, saying it was a gap, but it was half a kilometer wide and was not bottom-out. Unless it could fly, no vehicle could pass.
"I hope I won't be late this time..." Old John was a little anxious as he watched the detector plan the winding route. Tomorrow is the time to launch the beacon. Every day of the month, he would launch the beacon from the platform to the orbit while others were away, stay for twenty hours before recycling.
Only once was late because of the gap in the ice layer, but I always suspected that I missed the contact time, so that Bend Ann and Li did not find his place, otherwise why would he not come to see it after so long?
Is there any other factor? Old John is unwilling to think about it. He would rather believe it was his fault than make the young man have an accident. There are not many good people in this world, so if you can keep one more, you should have one more.
"Electricity...solid gas raw materials...coordinates..." He rushed to the launch platform in the early morning of the day. Before sending the beacon to the magnetic track, he had to put a heat-resistant shell on it.
This step alone took another hour, and each parameter had to be checked back and forth several times, for fear of losing the only tool to contact that person. Moreover, he never asked the other two companions to help, and he never even told them about the existence of the beacon. Only in this way can the secret be guaranteed not to be leaked.
"God... the unlucky guy!" Just as the launch was ready, the dark gray sky was suddenly lit up by some light. Old John operated the mecha and raised his head, and suddenly saw a meteor breaking through the atmosphere, shining bright orange-red toward the ice field.
As an old navy who had lived for hundreds of years, he immediately determined that the thing was not a meteorite, but a spaceship. Old John didn't find it strange that the spaceship entered the atmosphere, and the pilots also had the ability.
Some rookies rushed into space without practicing well. Once they encounter operational errors, they will have various accidents. For example, if they are too close to the planet and do not adjust the route in time, the spacecraft will be attracted by the planet's gravity and fall like a meteorite.
Usually, spacecraft and pilots are in danger. In order to reduce costs and technical difficulties, most spacecraft will not be equipped with equipment to land on the surface of the planet.
"Huh... strange things!" Old John knew that he could not save the unlucky pilot, so he prayed in his heart, and just wanted to fire the beacon and turned his head back, staring at the bright flame, his brows became tighter and tighter.
Whether it is a spacecraft or a meteorite, as long as it enters the atmosphere, it will be burned by high temperatures. The specific manifestation is disintegration, gradually turning from a whole piece to a few pieces or a bunch. However, this spacecraft obviously did not disintegrate, and its tail is very regular and very light, indicating that its body is not burning.
The most interesting thing is that its flight trajectory is not a straight line, and there are two small turning points in the middle. This is very intriguing. Can the spacecraft still be controlled? Old John knows that there is such equipment in the Navy to force land on the surface of the planet from orbit, but he can't imagine what this broken planet has to do with the Navy so much attention.
Could it be that the Angel Union knew that the three of them were hiding here and sent someone to capture them? It seems unlikely that the Navy rarely used this kind of equipment because it is one-time and has too high cost. In order to capture the three people, you can use an atmosphere shuttle, and there is no need to do such a big fight.
But no matter what, if you have a ghost in your heart, you still can't ignore it. Old John had launched the beacon as fast as possible and immediately drove to the meteor's possible landing point. This is also a factor that made Old John worried. The landing point was too close to the command center.
The meteor is naturally Hong Tao's Mole. With beacon parameters, there is no need to find the position of the planet's mining command center. However, the airflow on the surface of the planet is too strong. Although it has been adjusted twice during the landing, it still has not reached the expected target.
The landing point is more than one kilometer away from the command center, and it lands directly on the ice cap, dissolving the thick ice layer into a large hole more than 20 meters deep. Now, if no one comes to rescue the three of them, they will starve to death in the ice hole.
"Hey, aren't you Li Minetou? Is the Rat Mine Team working again? Unfortunately, my spacecraft is gone, and now there is only a transport vehicle!" After leaving the space environment, the performance of the Mole was greatly reduced. Not only can it move, but the voice is still small, and the communication signal can only be sent for two kilometers.
But this is enough. The first person to receive the public frequency signal was not Old John but Nuel who was closer. He also knew Hong Tao and was very happy, but he was a little sad about losing the spacecraft.
"Look up and find a way to get my escape pod up. Now the mining team is no longer making money. Planetary collection is a good deal. You will be able to buy a new spacecraft for a few years. Then we will go to mining together." Seeing this familiar and unfamiliar face, Hong Tao was 100% at 100% at 100% at 100% silly. He said nothing.
"Okay, OK, I'll come now!" Not to mention Hong Tao, this lies, Anhaka and Old John could both coax Nuel around. When they heard that there was a new spaceship, the bearded man ran away happily, and he didn't even turn off the communicator. He could still see his naked butt on the virtual screen.
"Li Minetou? Rat Mine Team? Dontes, who are you? Who is he?" Since the Mole entered the atmosphere, the Queen felt that she was only one step away from death. In these few minutes, she was like a year.
After finally reaching the planet's surface safely, before I had time to be happy, I found that the spacecraft was trapped under the ice and could not move. It seemed to be a little far away from death, but if they were all dead in the end, what's the difference between dying early and dying late?
