Chapter 379 Tracking
The yellow-green planet is just under the huge Home spacecraft. Finally, Su Yichen and others decided to land on this planet after discussion to find out what was going on with that strange creature.¥f,
Since this planet has a special ionosphere, this brings a lot of trouble to landing. The final solution adopted by landing is no longer the small space shuttle of the original, but the small landing ship provided by the Home spacecraft.
Although it is a small landing ship, its size is much larger than that of a small space shuttle. Its length is almost the same as the original Pioneer spacecraft, and the Rand civilization built this small landing ship extremely sturdy, and its performance is far beyond that of a medium-sized space civilization warship.
Su Yichen himself is responsible for the landing ship command and landing, and Luo Yan is also landing with him. Su Li is now the command center of the Jiayuan spacecraft, so she cannot follow her. As for the others, for safety reasons, they are still staying on the Jiayuan spacecraft.
Although it is a pity to lose Su Li's companions, for Su Yichen and Luo Yan, their landing this time is actually not very dangerous. The Home spacecraft has a special spacesuit of Rand civilization. This spacesuit has excellent protection performance and has no problem protecting itself when carrying high-energy weapons.
The landing ship successfully passed through the thick ionosphere. After coming to the inside of the atmosphere, the appearance of this planet was truly revealed to them. It was slightly different from the exploration in the universe. Although many places of this life planet are very desolate, you can still see a vibrant scene from it at a glance. This is a young life planet that has not yet fully evolved. Although the composition content in the air contains oxygen, the proportion of oxygen and other gases are not suitable for human breathing. Moreover, there are countless beasts here. In order to protect safety, Su Yichen and others have not planned to be like on the planet Galen since they landed.
On a higher terrain, the landing ship landed steadily, the cabin door below opened, and Su Yichen and Luo Yan, who were wrapped in the space suit, walked out one after another.
The spacesuit of the Rand civilization is made of a special alloy. The special features of this alloy are very strange. It has the characteristics of liquid metal, and can breathe independently like the skin, taking ingredients that can use air from the outside and then expelling it. It is like having a universal lung, whether in water or elsewhere, the user can breathe normally without carrying other equipment.
This design considers the issue of exploration and landing on various planets, especially in some life planets where air components are not suitable. This design has more convenience. In addition, this space suit has a very powerful resistance. Su Yichen once tried that even high-energy weapons cannot break the outer layer of the space suit. The second special feature of this alloy is that the atoms and particle arrangement of the alloy are completely unavailable in nature, and they are almost like living, and can repair themselves to a certain extent.
Furthermore, its high temperature resistance and low cold resistance are almost perfect. High temperatures of thousands of degrees cannot damage the space suit at all. As for absolute zero degrees, the space suit can also work normally. The constant temperature interior allows users to be unscathed whether they are roaming in space or exploring in volcanoes.
When her feet stepped on the land of this planet, Su Yichen and Luo Yan could clearly feel the down-to-earth feeling through the sensors of the space suit. Although this is a high ground, the ground is composed of countless sand and black soil. Su Yichen squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of soil and sand. The analyzer equipped with the space suit told him that these soils and sand and stones are not too special, and are basically the same as the soil they are common to them.
"How about it?"
"Everything is normal, very ordinary soil and sand." Su Yichen spread his hands, and the handful of soil and sand that he had just grabbed fell on the ground along the gaps in his fingers.
"I guess so." Luo Yan smiled without surprise, looked around, raised her hand and pointed to the left: "Let's go over there and take a look. Where should the little guy appear before?"
Looking along her hand, Su Yichen nodded and said ok. Then the two of them had subtle changes in space suits, and the alloy began to flow and form behind them. Soon a pair of metal wings, like wings, appeared on their shoulders.
After running a few steps forward, each step was particularly large, and it took more than ten meters in one step, which was unimaginable for ordinary people. Of course, this was also the helping effect of the spacesuit. And after they ran more than a hundred miles in an instant, the metal wing brush spread out. The two of them soared into the air and flew into the air like birds.
Flying is something that humans have always dreamed of since they have the ability to think, and this dream was not realized until the beginning of the 20th century. Since the successful test flight of the Wright brothers' aircraft, humans finally flew into the sky and had the ability to fly.
Subsequently, the manufacturing of aircraft was more advanced than that of the next generation, from the initial wood flight to the later skinned biplane, to the subsequent monoplane made of alloys, and then to jet aircraft. At the end of the 20th century, humans flew into space and took the first step towards the universe. Now that the earthlings have entered the cosmic civilization, they have the ability to travel and explore in small galaxies. This is the advancement of science and technology, and it is also the result of human continuous pursuit.
However, in a sense, humans have never truly flew. Whether it is various aircraft or aircraft, or now swimming in space, humans are just using the tools they invented to achieve their goals. Now, Su Yichen and Luo Yan in the air, the two metal wings behind their shoulders give people an unprecedented feeling of flying, just like humans really put on a pair of their own wings and flew into the air with their own abilities.
This feeling is something that cannot be obtained by flying any aircraft. It is like a bird. Listening to the whistling of the wind in my ears, with the help of the spacesuit equipment, you can easily see the scene thousands of meters away. Su Yichen and Luo Yan, who were flying in the sky, felt like they had transformed into a pair of eagles.
"This feels so good! We are as free as birds." Luo Yan said happily.
Su Yichen agreed with this conversation, but as soon as he was about to say something, he noticed something seemed to be rushing towards them in the upper right. He turned his head slightly and frowned. It turned out that a flying monster with a body of more than ten meters long had discovered them in the air. Perhaps it regarded Su Yichen and his wife who were also flying in the sky as their prey.
This flying monster looks a bit like a bird, but it does not have the long feathers of a bird. Instead, its body is covered with gray-white scales and its head is extremely bare and ugly. But judging from its sharp and teeth-covered mouth and a pair of sharp claws, it is an extremely fierce beast in the air.
"Looking for death!" The flying monsters flew extremely fast, and they reached a distance less than 1,000 meters away from them in a flash. And because it dived from a high altitude, it gave people a strong sense of oppression. But when facing this flying monster Su Yichen was not at all panicked, but instead snorted coldly.
Just as the flying monster was about to rush to a distance of nearly a hundred meters from them, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, shooting out like a sharp arrow, heading directly towards the flying monster.
The flying monster didn't even have time to scream. Not to mention dodging, the light was shining, and the flying monster that was still arrogant just now was silently divided into two pieces in the air, and the corpse fell to the ground from left to right. In a short while, two dull sounds came from the ground.
There was no interest in seeing where the corpse fell. Su Yichen and Luo Yan continued to fly forward. Perhaps they killed the flying monster with one move, which made the other flying beasts in the distance worry, and the next journey was dull.
Not long after, they arrived at their destination and confirmed their location with Su Li on the Home. Then they began to land from the air to the ground. The landing process was almost the same as that of the birds. When they landed steadily on the ground, a pair of metal wings behind their shoulders were automatically retracted, and then as the alloy changed, the spacesuit returned to its original state.
This is the junction of a forest and a lake. The ground at their feet is different from the soil and sand and stones just now, and it looks much fertile. Near the lake, some creatures of different sizes are drinking water, and some vegetarian creatures leisurely gnaw on the green grass on the ground or tender leaves on the trees. As for those carnivorous creatures, they did not see it, and compared with the bloody scene before, the scene seemed very peaceful.
But when they looked not far away, the peace was broken again. Because just over 400 meters away, the huge vegetarian creature was there.
To be precise, it should be a remains. The flesh and blood on its body has long disappeared, leaving only a white and incomplete skeleton, but just these are extremely shocking. Unlike the spacecraft Home, standing in front of this skeleton, Su Yichen and Luo Yan personally realized the immenseness of its life.
Such a huge creature still cannot escape the fate of being preyed. This is the final fate of all vegetarian creatures. In fact, it is not only vegetarian creatures, but also carnivorous creatures. When they are weak and weak, they will be defeated by stronger opponents, thus becoming the food in the mouth of the other party.
Furthermore, even if you escape these, when the flames of life are extinguished, the bacteria and scavengers of nature will still turn their bodies into piles of bones, and the piles of bones may not take long, and gradually decompose over time and become part of the soil.
"Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil..." For some reason, this sentence flashed through Su Yichen's mind. He smiled helplessly, and shook his head at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yan couldn't help asking when she saw his expression.
Su Yichen smiled and said, "It's okay, I just felt a little emotional just now. By the way, I remember that little guy ran from this direction, right?"
Luo Yan raised her hand and looked at the coordinate position, then looked at the direction and nodded, "It's here."
After determining the location, Su Yichen and his wife decided to explore the direction. With the protection of space suits, nothing can harm them here, but in order to avoid trouble, the two still did not disturb the creatures that were active and walked forward.
After walking about 2 kilometers, they have entered a forest. The forest on this planet is different from the earth. In ancient times, most of them were ferns. With the evolution of the earth's environment, ferns were gradually replaced by other plants. However, the plants on this yellow-green planet are not like ferns, and they are also very different from the plants on the earth. Basically, many plants have not wide leaves, nor are they needle-shaped leaves, similar to the willow leaves of willow trees, but not that long. However, one thing is that these plants are basically very tall, and there are also many fungi in the forest. These fungi are also very large in size. Su Yichen and his wife even saw a large fungus that was five meters high and almost two people could hold. I really don't know how it grew so huge.
The creatures in the forest are slightly different from those outside. There are not many creatures with the size of the huge beast. Most creatures are slightly smaller, whether they are vegetarian or carnivorous creatures. Perhaps this is why they are easy to move in the forest. They gradually explored along the way, but they did not find any information along the way. Like on the Home spacecraft, the little guy disappeared without a trace, and they didn't know what method it used to escape their tracking.
But that doesn't matter. The reason they landed at the position of the corpse of the giant beast just now was that this is the starting point of the coordinates, and the second reason was that there was another important reason for landing in this place.
Su Yichen raised his wrist and there was something on his wrist like a watch and a compass, except that it was not worn, but displayed on the surface of the spacesuit. On the screen of this instrument, there was a clear red line extending from the initial coordinate position as the starting point, towards the direction they were moving forward.
"Be careful and be careful." Su Yichen said to Luo Yan. In the forest, it is not as good as outside. Although there are spacesuit equipment assistance, the obstruction of trees still hinders their vision. At the same time, Su Yichen also needs to pay attention to the direction of the red line to make sure they have not taken the wrong path.
This red line is not something else, but a sample he extracted from the corpse of the giant beast. The reason is very simple, because the little guy took away a large piece of meat when he left, so it will inevitably leave traces of the flesh and blood of the giant beast along the way. Even a very small part can be easily detected with the high-tech equipment of the Rand civilization.
