Hong Fan's words made everyone stop playing.

The expressions on Andrew and Bruno's faces also quickly became serious.

You can play and relax properly in the Xuannv II or the planetary landing car.

But when they need to face this completely strange planet, no one dares to relax their vigilance.

After all, no one knows what strange things will exist on this super earth.

Whether biological or non-biological.

When you don’t know the other person’s background, even a small speck of dust may cause people to be doomed.

As the numbers in the holographic images continue to decrease, the scenery outside has also changed a little.

In the yellow-brown rock walls, some silver-white substances with metallic luster gradually appeared.

Hong Fan, who was in the driving position, raised his eyebrows.

"These outside should be the iron ore element detected by the detector."

"There are some benefits to the lack of oxygen in the atmosphere."

"At least, it saves us from the smelting process."

Xia Wanyi, who was standing beside her, heard this and chuckled and added: "There may be elemental nickel ore."

"Don't forget our experience in mining in the asteroid belt."

Hong Fan was stunned for a moment, and a look of nostalgia suddenly appeared in his eyes.

...

In the words.

The speed of planetary landing vehicles began to slow down gradually.

Lines of faint words appeared in front of everyone.

【Arriving at the destination soon】

[Current external wind speed: 18km/h]

【Please be prepared to leave the cabin】

When the vehicle stopped, Hong Fan reached out and unbuttoned the seat belt on the seat and picked up the helmet hanging beside him.

"Click."

"laugh……"

As the sound of the helmet buckle sounded, a sound of air flow sounded in his ears.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

【The internal circulation system of the spacesuit has been activated】

【Current oxygen remaining: 99%】

【…】

Hong Fan glanced at the ar on his helmet, and after confirming that there was no abnormality in the space suit, he opened the team communication channel.

"Everyone has it, report on their own situation."

...

Ten minutes later.

The hatch doors on the sides of the two planetary landing vehicles slowly opened.

A bloated crew member, with the help of exoskeleton armor, walked out of it in an extremely brisk manner.

【Exoskeleton Armor Power Output: 15%】

A faint Chinese character appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Everyone." Hong Fan's voice came from the communication channel, "Save the time to confirm the types of surface minerals first, and then carry out deep drilling."

As he said that, he took the lead in walking to a rock wall with silvery white light.

After a simple test, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "It is indeed an elemental iron ore."

"I just don't know how much reserves there are."

"Captain Hong." Andrew's hesitant voice came from the communication channel, "Without oxygen, there should be no hematite, right?"

"Of course." Hong Fan responded without thinking.

"Then..." Andrew's voice became more and more bizarre, "You'd better come and have a look."

Hong Fan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"Don't tell me that hematite veins have been discovered."

Andrew: "…"

"If there is no problem with the detection instrument..."

“This is indeed hematite.”

"And..." Andrew's voice paused, "There seems to be a lot of hematite, and even the dust everywhere there are a small amount of hematite."

Hong Fan: "???"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the dust in the sky.

The main color is still yellow.

But after careful observation, this thick yellow indeed contains a little reddish brown.

"hiss!"

Hong Fan took a breath of cold air, took two steps at a time, and quickly ran to Andrew.

Andrew was squatting in the corner beside the rock wall, carefully observing the situation on the surface.

Seeing Hong Fan coming, Andrew hurriedly stood up and said, "Captain Hong, look at it."

"There is nothing on the surface, but you dig down, the deeper the reddish brown, the heavier it is."

Hong Fan didn't say anything, but just squatted down quickly and checked a small hole that Andrew dug.

The pit is not deep.

It's about 20cm deep.

But it can be clearly seen that under the cover of yellow sand, there are more and more reddish-brown gravel.

He carefully took out a little reddish-brown substance from the pit and released it into the detection instrument beside him.

There was not much time, and the test results appeared on his watch.

【fe2o3, hematite】

Looking at the test results in front of him, he fell into silence.

It's outrageous, but the test results are in front of you.

Suddenly, Hong Fan seemed to remember something. He quickly walked to the pile of tools beside him and picked up a high-strength alloy-made engineer shovel.

He picked a place at will, controlled the exoskeleton armor, and shoveled it down with force.

The power output value of the exoskeleton armor soared instantly.

The shovel also easily sank into the ground.

"Swish!"

He pulled out the shovel hard and brought out part of the sand and soil underground.

It's reddish brown again.

Seeing Hong Fan's abnormal movements, the team members also realized the problem and picked up the engineer shovels to follow suit.

One place, two places, three places...

Reddish brown, all reddish brown!

Hong Fan threw down the engineer shovel in his hand and sucked the air in his helmet hard.

OK! The problem was discovered at the beginning of the investigation work!

Hematite is very common.

Countless traces of hematite can be seen on Earth, on Mars, and even in the super moon above your head!

But on this planet, hematite is absolutely impossible to exist without oxygen!

But now, so much hematite is placed before them.

In Hong Fan's view, this can only explain one problem.

Once upon a time, there was oxygen on this dawn star.

Then, what about oxygen?
