The Petrachelys lay quietly on the surface of the primitive planet. A crack opened silently above the spacecraft, and a few little things shining with faint blue light flew out of the crack. They circled around the spacecraft twice like fireflies in the night, and then scattered into the depths of the dark jungle, quickly disappearing into the thick darkness.
The images from the probe were quickly connected to the holographic device on the flight deck. The image showed a dense and primitive jungle, and the occasional wreckage and ruins in the jungle. Nolan had shrunk into a miniature form to conserve the mainframe's resources. Nolan had shrunk to a mini form of only a few inches tall in order to conserve the host's resources. She leaned against the projector and pointed at the image on it. "I suggest you take this path. Although it's a little far, it's easier to walk. More importantly, the trees are sparse, and you can see the sky."
"To be honest, it's not a good idea to explore the map at night," Nangong Sanba shook his head. "You really don't want to wait until dawn?"
"The night is inconvenient for some people, but it's completely different for others." Vivian crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled confidently. "My perception and combat ability are stronger at night than during the day. Doggie's eyesight is also better at night than during the day, so the so-called inconvenience of moving at night is not a problem for us. What's more important now is intelligence. Without intelligence, the longer we stay in the spacecraft, the more uncontrollable things will be. The sooner we explore, the better."
Vivian, as a super qualified dark race (although her bloodline was a little tricky to define), was of course very convincing. Nangong Sanba thought about it and said nothing more. Instead, Hao Ren turned to Lily and said, "When we explore outside, don't run too fast. Although we all have our communicators with us, this planet is after all in such a strange galaxy. No one knows what hidden dangers there are. It's not good if you get lost."
Lily wagged her tail carelessly. "Oh my, Mr. Landlord, you're too fussy. How can I get lost when my nose is so good? You have to have faith in my race …"
Hao Ren thought to himself, "That's why you're so worried because you have confidence in your species. Who doesn't know about the husky's reputation?
"Everyone else is on standby on the spacecraft." Hao Ren turned to look at everyone on the flight deck. "Y 'zaks and Sanba, you two look after each other. Nolan has already put a backup shield generator online. This spaceship is now equipped with a basic shield, and with her armor, this is the strongest and only forward operating base we have on this planet. Before we come back, don't leave the spaceship. "
"What if there's an emergency?" Little Y 'lisabet asked, bouncing up and down. "For example, a ferocious monster on an alien planet wants to attack a righteous airborne regiment …"
What kind of nonsense had this little girl been reading all this time?!
The corner of Hao Ren's eyes twitched as he looked at the lolita-like higher demon. He thought that the lines coming out of her mouth were simply insane. But when he thought of Y 'zaks ideal of a world of peace, he calmed down. After all, it was a family tradition. So, he could only nod. "Then use the righteous Demonic Fireball and tactical nuclear bomb to teach them to be human … to be monsters. There are all kinds of weapons and equipment in the second garage. The autonomous robots can also be used as emergency defense robots. If there's a situation where your dad's Demonic Fireball can't handle it, just use those things. It's not difficult to operate anyway. If you really can't do it, Nolan can take over. "
"But to be honest, I still hope that the weapon system can come online as soon as possible," Nolan, who had become a mini AI interface, said weakly on the console. "I don't ask for much. As long as the two rows of rapid close-range defense cannons on my head can turn, there should be nothing to be afraid of on this planet …"
"Anyway, please take care of the people on the spacecraft." Hao Ren nodded solemnly to Nolan. "We will keep in touch. If everything goes well, we will confirm the signal every thirty minutes. If everything goes well, we will come back after checking the outer area of the ruins."
"Have a safe trip."
Hao Ren left the spacecraft with three people, ready to check out the ruins northwest of the crash site. The three people who followed him out included Vivian, Lily, and Nangong Wuyue. Needless to say, the first two were good at night. Nangong Wuyue, on the other hand, was an elemental creature. Her perception of the outside world was very different from that of ordinary people. Her vision only accounted for less than one percent of her perception, so she could also come out to explore.
But the main reason why Hao Ren brought her out was that he thought it was necessary to bring a healer. Even if the healer could only roll around like a ball, she could at least heal the nearby people while rolling around …
The night on this planet was not very cold, probably because it was close to the primitive jungle and the relatively mild climate zone. There was even a hint of moisture in the air. The spacecraft crashed on a relatively open wasteland. Next to the wasteland was the border of the jungle. The low-hanging stars shrouded the wilderness and blended with the vague outline of the jungle in the distance. In this way, the scenery of the alien planet, the crashed spacecraft, and the still smoking impact crater all combined into a quiet and mysterious picture. Hao Ren climbed up a nearby boulder and looked at the scene in front of him. He could not help but ask the MDT to take a picture.
"I'll send it to the inspector platform later. The universe's famous inspector finally crashed on an alien planet …"
"If you dare to send it, I'll really paint a Crayon Shin-chan on your shell. Do you believe me?" Hao Ren gave the MDT a sideways glance. "You talk too much."
Lily also climbed up the boulder and looked at Hao Ren. As she looked, she muttered, "Feels like a terrible fall …"
The huge interstellar spacecraft only made limited deceleration and angle adjustment during the landing process, so it finally hit the ground. Now the terrain of a few kilometers around the crash site had been completely changed. A radial impact crater, still smoking, replaced the original landscape. There was only a circle of outwardly slanted, fallen stalagmites on the edge of the impact crater. The Petrachelys lay quietly in the center of the impact crater. Half of its hull was almost fragmented, and the remaining half was damaged. Sparks and electric arcs kept bursting out of the cracks, leaving a pungent smell of ionization in the air.
But the spacecraft was repairing itself, and the repair process was visible to the naked eye. The most damaged armor plate was wriggling and healing, and the crystalline structure under the armor plate was covered by a layer of light network. Matter seemed to be generated out of thin air in the grid formed by the blue light. Some parts that were too damaged to be repaired fell from time to time and were replaced by new parts.
This was a necessary function of every inspector's spacecraft: self-restoration. Nolan was not exaggerating. Any basic structure of the spacecraft had the ability to restore the spacecraft as a whole, but … it would take time.
Hao Ren knew that the repair process inside the spacecraft was more complicated than the repair process outside. To speed up the repair process and get the key equipment online as soon as possible, he also left his Dimensional Pocket and all the autonomous robots in the spacecraft's mechanical cabin on the spacecraft. Those little things with a lot of mechanical tentacles should be busy shuttling through the power furnace and engine, rescuing things that had been distorted due to the fall.
After confirming the situation of the Petrachelys from the outside, Hao Ren identified the direction and led the three team members to the direction of the forest.
"There are two moons in the sky?" Lily looked up at the sky as if she had just discovered the wonders of this world. "It's like Holletta, but the smaller moon looks smaller … I want to howl."
"You'd better control yourself in this unfamiliar place," Nangong Wuyue quickly stopped her. "It'll be troublesome if you roar the alien monster out."
Hao Ren also noticed the two bright moons in the sky. He saw that the larger moon was dimmer, and there were faint wood-grain patterns on its surface. The smaller 'moon' was actually only the size of a soybean, but it was more than twice as bright as the bigger one. It was a bit strange.
Perhaps there was a layer of 'shell' on the surface with excellent reflective properties?
Vivian released a swarm of Shadow Bats. These little bats, which were condensed by magic power, were also very agile in the alien planet's night sky. They seemed to disappear after diving into the trees, and occasionally, some shadows could be seen flashing between the forest treetops. Hao Ren knew that these little bats did not fly far. They were circling within a radius of a few hundred meters around their parent body, like countless reconnaissance drones scanning the surroundings without any blind spots. This allowed Vivian to instantly grasp the complex environment of the alien planet's jungle.
Lily did not have blood magic as good as Vivian, so she could only keep her eyes open. Her pair of Khorium ore dog eyes were shining in the dark forest, and she could see things from a hundred meters away. Coupled with her good nose, her detection skills were pretty good.
Although they had not yet reached the ruins of the city that they saw from the air, it seemed that the forest had swallowed too many ancient relics. So, after walking in the forest for a while, they began to come into contact with some traces of man-made objects.
The first thing they came into contact with was a collapsed metal tower. This tower-shaped facility made of an unknown alloy was lying between the soil and gravel. It seemed to have been swallowed by the earth and oxidized underground for many years. Later, as the trees and vines grew, it was pulled out of the soil by the roots of some giant plants. The tower was entangled with green vines and aerial roots, and moss spread along its skeleton. The decorative coating and corrosive components on the tower had been annihilated by time, so it was difficult to directly determine its function. It only had one function here:
To tell the latecomers that there used to be a civilization here.
