Although Sector Z was called the Dark Triangle, it didn't mean that it was actually a sea of darkness. It was just that it was an undeveloped area, and that was why it was black on the League of Stars' star map.
Kari looked at the exterior scene displayed on the screen and muttered, "This really doesn't look like the Dark Triangle."
The scenery outside the starship was similar to the other Sectors. The stars were bright, but it was known that the creatures in this area were very dangerous, and magnetic anomalies were common.
There was a team made up of specialized personnel on the main ship that was responsible for scanning and probing. According to the old rules, they had to probe at least ten planets every time they arrived at an undeveloped area, or it would be a disgrace to Vanguard.
The periphery of Sector Z had been explored before, and some of them were done by Vanguard. However, no matter which Hunter regiment it was, they would only explore a certain number of planets each time. They would not explore too many planets at once, and it was fine as long as they could do it. Exploration was not the same as suicide, at least they had to know their limits.
After looking at the general star map, Shotton chose a flight route. This route extended slightly towards the center of Sector Z at a certain angle, but not too far. He would proceed step by step.
The partial results of the exploration team's analysis would be transmitted to the six squadrons on the main ship at the same time.
Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Kari sighed. They had explored three planets since they came to Sector Z. One planet's habitability was Rank C, and the other two were Rank D.
Habitability was the degree to which a planet was suitable for human habitation. It was usually divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. A planet meant that the planet was very suitable for human habitation. If they discovered a planet like this, the Sixth Team would become famous, and they would receive a huge fortune.
If it was B class, then it was just so-so. Although the conditions were not very good, they could still make do with it. It should be noted that many planets with Rank B habitability were not very suitable for human habitation, but they were suitable for other life forms. Therefore, many large families would buy these planets for special breeding purposes.
Rank C meant that the planet was not suitable for human habitation. The environmental conditions there prevented humans from staying in their natural state for long periods of time. Rank D meant that the planet was extremely unsuitable for human habitation. It was not a matter of time before humans could survive in their natural state.
If the habitability level was D, they only needed to send out probes to search, take samples, and record various parameters, coordinates, and so on. However, these were the work of the technical staff and had nothing to do with Kari.
However, if it was a Grade C planet, then it would not just be a matter of the probes. They would also need to send a small team to search the planet, retrieve living creatures, and list out the evolution of the creatures on the planet.
When Kari heard that one of them was a C-grade planet, he stood up and prepared to pick up his weapon. However, Shotton arranged for another team to go down. Although they didn't find much, and the evolution level of the creatures on the planet was relatively low, there wasn't even a single high-grade plant. However, Kari felt that it was too idle, and it was fine to go out for a walk.
Bored, he glanced at the Miantuan that was rolling around with Huimao not far away. Kari chuckled and grabbed the Miantuan's tail before it could sense the danger and escape. He rolled it into a ball. Kari threw the Miantuan like a pinball against the wall. He caught it after it bounced back, threw it again, and caught it again.
Seeing this, Huimao's pair of cat eyes widened, and its pupils dilated. Its head swayed along the Miantuan's trajectory, and before the Miantuan hit the wall, it jumped up with a whoosh. Smack!
"Not bad. Other than eating and sleeping, it seems that you still have some uses."
As he spoke, Kari threw the Miantuan that had been smacked back to another angle, and it was smacked back again.
He changed the angle again, and it was smacked back again, and again, and again …
The man and the cat were having a lot of fun playing there.
"All teams, attention. A Grade B planet has been discovered. All teams, get ready!"
Smack!
The Miantuan was smacked against the wall. Kari and Huimao were attracted by the news, and no one smacked it again.
Everyone gathered in front of the screen closest to them, which displayed the results sent by the detection and analysis team.
"Low atmospheric pressure and oxygen partial pressure, strong radiation … Sigh, it's actually not that bad. It's fine even without the protective suit!" Kari said excitedly as he stared at the screen.
A Grade B planet was not that easy to discover. A Grade C planet was enough to make Kari excited for a long time, let alone a Grade B planet. Most of the time, a small team would be enough for a Grade C planet, but for a Grade B planet, everyone would basically be sent out.
Through the pictures, analysis data, and various parameters sent back by the detector, everyone started to make preparations. Each of the six teams had to send out a team in advance.
When Tang Qiuqiu saw that Silin, Xiao Shang, Ba Dao, and Kari were all in the advance team, she wanted to go with them, but Dias rejected her and asked her to go with the second team. A Grade B planet meant that there were a lot of advanced creatures. No matter what level they evolved to, whether they were similar to humans, and no matter what level their civilization had developed to, they could not be underestimated! Even plants could eat humans sometimes.
After all, Tang Qiuqiu was still young. In terms of adventure experience, she definitely could not compare to the others. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Dias rejected Tang Qiuqiu's proposal to join the advance team.
Seeing that Kari and the others had left, the Miantuan slowly crawled to Eudy's feet with a heavily injured look. It hugged Eudy's trouser leg, looking very aggrieved. It wanted to complain that it had been mistreated!
Eudy calmly took a sip of tea. "Today, we can go and loot Kari's cabinet."
The previously dispirited Miantuan trembled when it heard that. It quickly perked up as if it had been injected with chicken blood. It turned around and ran toward Kari's room. It crawled very quickly and did not seem to be injured at all.
On the other side.
Huimao naturally followed Silin and the others into the aircraft. Seeing that, Kari nudged Huimao with the barrel of his gun. "What are you going to do?"
Huimao said with anticipation, "I'm going to look for food, of course."
Kari choked and said to Silin, "Silin, aren't you afraid that something will happen to this little one?"
Silin glanced at Huimao, who was squatting by his feet and shaking its head rhythmically. "It might not be worse than you."
"Yes, I'm definitely not worse than you," Huimao said.
Right my ass! Don't think that I won't know the contempt in your words just because you changed the order of your words!
Kari knocked Huimao's head with the barrel of his gun. "I heard that cats and tigers share the same ancestor. We're about to go to war. Let's give a loud and domineering roar to boost the morale."
Originally, Kari wanted to give this gluttonous and sleepy cat a blow, but he did not expect Huimao to really open its mouth.
"Be careful, we're on the aircraft," Silin reminded him.
Huimao's mouth was wide open. It paused for a moment and adjusted itself. Take a deep breath. Roar!
The communication devices of the six spacecrafts that were part of the vanguard of the six squads were switched on, and the main ship was also connected. Therefore, the sudden roar that sounded like a prehistoric behemoth directly shocked everyone. The aircraft that Silin and the others were on also made an S-shaped trajectory. The pilot of the aircraft was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
Roar of a beast?
Where did the beast come from?
Was it a purposely played sound effect?
"Dias, what's going on?!" On the main ship, Shotton shouted into the communication device.
"Ahem, this is a roar made by one of our members to boost morale …" Dias wiped his sweat. He looked at Kari, who was a little dazed, and Huimao, who was licking its paws as if nothing had happened after the roar. He sighed in his heart. No wonder it's our team's cat.
The six aircraft flew out of the starship and headed toward the green planet in front of them from six different directions.
After scanning the terrain and confirming the landing point, they landed. The defense system was activated, and the "sentinels" were released. The sentinels were distributed around the aircraft in a regular pattern. After confirming that it was safe, the cabin door opened. The first to come out was not Dias, the deputy captain, but Huimao.
Huimao couldn't wait to jump out. Its nose twitched, and it took a deep breath. It let out a long sigh. "The smell of food!" Then it ran away.
"Don't worry about it. Let's do our job," Silin said.
Dias nodded. Previously, when they were on the starship, they had already distributed the work, so there was no need to give more instructions now. "Let's go."
Everyone was wearing protective clothing and masks. In addition to blocking radiation, resisting pressure, and maintaining a constant body temperature, the protective clothing was mainly used to prevent contact with poisonous plants. Unknown planets and unknown species, so it was best to be careful. The protective clothing was equipped with weapons. Everyone's equipment was different, so they chose their equipment according to what they were familiar with.
There was a scanner attached to the mask, and it had settings such as zoom, filtering, and locking. It provided a variety of vision while also locking on to the target. This kind of equipment did indeed cost a lot of money. It also proved what Kari said: this was a job that burned money.
