Ye Chong did not expect to see a continent here.
How was this possible? Ye Chong had never seen a celestial body like this. He had flown to many places, but there was no celestial body like this in the Five Galaxies. In the universe, almost all large celestial bodies were spherical. This was the first celestial body Ye Chong had seen that was not spherical.
Ye Chong's limited knowledge of astrology was not enough to explain such a profound phenomenon. In fact, the phenomenon only surprised him a little. If he posted the holographic image of this place in the virtual world, it would cause a huge uproar. Astrology would be revolutionized. However, even if he knew, Ye Chong would not care about it.
This unique celestial body was like a large island in the middle of an ocean of asteroids called the asteroid belt.
Stepping onto this mysterious celestial body, Ye Chong could not help but be more cautious. There were too many things here that defied common sense. Only by adapting to the environment faster would he be able to survive better.
Returning to the Five Galaxies was already a distant goal. Ye Chong was alone now, and his backup energy cells were almost depleted. He did not know where he was, not even the coordinates. How could he warp? Besides, Han Jia did not have warp abilities.
No matter what, survival was the most important thing. A strong will to live filled his heart. Having grown up in the harsh environment of the trash planet, Ye Chong was not afraid of the harsh environment. Caution and caution would make you live longer, while fear would only make you die faster. This was what Ye Chong had learned when he was nine years old.
It felt like he had returned to the days when he fought alone on the trash planet. Han Jia was the only one with him now. Even Mu and Shang had been separated from him.
However, so what if that was the case? Ye Chong raised his eyebrows, which he rarely did. His Han Jia now was much better than Winnie's old Han Jia, and he was also much stronger than before. The only thing that made him sad was that he was separated from Mu and Shang.
Ye Chong calmed himself down and quickly calmed down. Mu and Shang's calmness had always influenced Ye Chong, and he would never lose his composure.
As far as the eye could see, there was no end to it. This was a huge plain. The light blue starlight was like a light blue carpet that covered the endless plain. Such a scene was so beautiful that if an artist were here, he would be so excited that he would not be able to restrain himself.
Unfortunately, the person here was Ye Chong, who had no interest in art, and lacked the basic ability to comprehend.
Ye Chong was as calm as a machine. He did not take a second look. His eyes were glued to Han Jia's holographic screen. Every holographic system had certain civilian functions. Although the function was much smaller than the military holographic scanning system, it was much more valuable at this time.
At this time, the most suitable was not the powerful military holographic scanning system, but the engineering holographic scanning system with various functions.
Ye Chong suddenly remembered that he had an engineering mech. He had bought it at Nine Gates of Nightless City. The Reptile mech he used to mine the mutated energy ore on the primary planet was bought together with this one.
Engineering mechs played an important role in civilian mechs. Not only could it protect the safety of engineers working in the field to a certain extent, it also had a specialized engineering scanning system with many functions not available in most mechs.
Ye Chong took out the engineering mech and did not rush forward. Instead, he explored the entire terrain.
The results showed that the area where Ye Chong was now was filled with a large number of minerals, with unknown minerals accounting for 40% of the total. The terrain was flat. The size of the planet was beyond the range of the engineering mech's detection. The flat was 98% covered by vegetation. This kind of vegetation coverage was quite high even for those undeveloped native planets. Other than the plants with pale purple leaves, blue glowing orbs and dark brown moss that Ye Chong had seen before, the engineering mech's holographic system found another 5 types of plants.
Ye Chong took a sample of each plant and stored it in the engineering mech's sample storage. Ye Chong was still a capable alchemist, even though he did not have any equipment with him. However, the chip that Lunatic Guan had given him contained many of the Guan Clan's unique and ancient identification methods. These ancient methods were complicated, but the methods used were relatively primitive, and did not require much equipment.
From the chip, Ye Chong learned many uses of plants. Alchemists were the first profession to split off from botanists, and were more practical in the study of plants than botanists.
Five times the gravity, Ye Chong's movement was taxing.
Perhaps due to the high gravity, the planet's surface was extremely hard. Stepping on it felt like stepping on an alloy board. The stems, leaves, and roots of these plants were all exceptionally tough.
Ye Chong quickly got back into Han Jia. The rope ladder that he had not used for a long time was finally put to use. Five times the gravity, Ye Chong did not dare to climb into Han Jia's cockpit. Under such high gravity, Ye Chong felt as weak as a baby. Every movement he made was difficult. This made him miss the feeling of being able to control his limbs under normal gravity. But soon, he put aside this useless feeling. Right now, the best thing to do was to try his best to adapt to the environment.
Since there was no other choice, he could only adapt! Five times the gravity. Ye Chong's face was calm, but his eyes shone with determination.
Taking a deep breath, Han Jia slowly moved deeper into the continent.
This time, Ye Chong flew for 350 kilometers. If they were in space, this distance would only take a short while, but here, on one hand, they had to conserve energy, and on the other hand, they had to be cautious. Therefore, it took them three hours to reach Han Jia.
Fortunately, nothing strange happened along the way. Ye Chong found three new types of plants, but nothing else. There were many herbivores that Ye Chong had seen before. Other than these herbivores, Ye Chong did not see any other animals, much less ferocious carnivores.
However, Ye Chong did not let his guard down. He knew that while there were no carnivores yet, there would definitely be carnivores on this planet. Nature's food chain was amazing. Even in the harsh environment of Trash Planet, carnivores still occupied the upper echelons of the food chain.
Ye Chong made a new discovery.
Water, there was water here. In fact, ever since he saw the herbivores, Ye Chong had been guessing that there must be water here. However, when he saw water, he could not help but be overjoyed.
This was a large river. According to Han Jia's holographic system, the river was 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. The surface of the river was calm, but Han Jia could still detect the slow flow of the river. However, he did not know where the source of the river was.
The river divided the plain into two. Ye Chong thought about it, and piloted Han Jia towards the other side of the river.
Just as Ye Chong reached the center of the river, the silent Han Jia's shrill alarm suddenly rang.
Ye Chong shuddered.
Ye Chong's reflexes were not affected by the gravity.
A tentacle with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly extended out of the water and swept toward Han Jia with a shocking momentum.
It was sudden, but Ye Chong had enough time to deal with it. Mech pilots usually had to make decisions in less than a millisecond, or they would not be able to gain any advantage in mech battles, where speed was the main factor.
The two daggers were drawn in Han Jia's hands in the shortest time possible. Then, it crossed its arms, and the two daggers formed a pair of horns in front of its chest. It was too late to use the main engine to dodge, but with a slight adjustment to the secondary engine, Han Jia shifted its position to face the giant tentacle head-on.
Ye Chong was secretly shocked. With such a huge tentacle, one could imagine the size of the creature at the bottom of the river. The gray tentacle was covered in green patterns that looked like aquatic plants, making it look like a piece of wood entangled in aquatic plants.
Bang! There was a loud sound.
Han Jia was sent flying like a ball being hit by a bat. Whoosh! It flew towards the other side of the river like an arrow.
The huge impact made Ye Chong dizzy. Normally, a collision of this magnitude would not be a problem for Ye Chong, but with five times the gravity, the impact was also five times more taxing on his body, and that was enough to make Ye Chong complain. If not for the protection of Han Jia's hydraulic buffering system, Ye Chong would have been a meat patty by now.
It had been a long time since he felt nauseous. Ye Chong took a few deep breaths to suppress the nausea.
When Ye Chong came to his senses, he realized that he had been knocked into the air on the other side of the river. Han Jia's momentum was still there, and it was still charging forward. It was obvious how powerful the attack was. Ye Chong quickly steadied Han Jia, preventing it from falling.
The blood on the two daggers proved that the other party's tentacle was also injured. Ye Chong was confident of the sharpness of the two daggers. The assailant probably didn't have it easy either. He probably had a big hole cut open.
The water in the middle of the river seemed to be boiling, churning violently.
