Chapter 397 Landing on Dawn Star
Ten minutes later.
A line of Chinese characters appeared in the holographic projection on the console of Xuannv II.
[About to arrive at the scheduled landing point. ]
[Landing program started...]
There was a slight tremor on the deck under my feet, and the height of the starship began to decrease.
The landing site was selected at the location of the first probe - that is, the vast waters with reefs.
The reason is also very simple.
When there is a choice, building a city near the water has been the survival law of mankind since ancient times.
Under the control of the onboard computer, the Xuannv II ships lined up in neat formations and drove towards the land beside the waters one by one.
The land is not very flat. Perhaps due to the influence of water erosion, it is full of uneven rocks with rounded surfaces.
But this does not affect the landing of Xuannv II at all.
After the temporary modification of the bottom of Xuannv II, several high-power laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons were installed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Hong Fan sat in the main driving seat, watching the explosions below, and said in amazement: "Only now can we see such a scene."
"In the past, how could we have this technology?"
Bruno behind him also showed some emotion in his eyes: "Yes."
"I remember that before Ross 154 landed for the first time, in order to choose a suitable landing site, the probes almost ran out of fuel."
Hong Fan was stunned, and then he remembered the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing.
For a while, the starship was full of a cheerful atmosphere.
The originally rugged ground also became regular under the bombing of the Xuannv II fleet.
...
A slight vibration came from the soles of his feet.
[Successful landing. 】
A line of faint text appeared in front of everyone.
Hong Fan took a deep breath, and with the help of the exoskeleton armor, he stood up easily from the chair.
"Everyone, we should prepare for landing."
As he spoke, he walked towards the corner of the cabin.
Over there, everyone's space suits were neatly arranged.
Because of the exoskeleton armor and anti-gravity suits, all space suits were one size larger.
Hong Fan put on the enlarged space suit with familiar movements.
Looking at his "obese" teammates, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, the space suits have returned to their original appearance.
Seeing that everyone was dressed, he took the lead and walked towards the airlock cabin set up behind Xuannv II.
At the same time.
The belly hatch of each Xuannv II slowly opened.
In the huge cabin, there were neatly arranged robots and various engineering facilities.
The next moment, these robots took steps towards the wild world outside the cabin.
Under the 1.9g gravity, the steps of these already heavy robots became more solid.
"Bang."
A dull sound rang out.
A light dust floated from the ground and fell into the clean cabin of Xuannv II.
The first footprint on the Dawn Star came from a robot.
…
Outside Xuannv II.
The calm water surface was rippled.
Yellow and reddish-brown dust was flying everywhere.
The wind started.
The wind came very abruptly.
The originally quiet and peaceful scenery was gradually submerged in the increasingly dense dust.
…
[Pressure has been balanced]
A gentle female voice sounded in everyone's helmet.
As the captain of the landing team, he naturally shouldered the "burden" of opening the hatch.
Hong Fan looked at the closed hatch in front of him, and his originally calm heart suddenly beat violently.
Although he had seen the scene outside the door in the video data sent back by the detector, when he really came to the front, he still felt a little uncontrollably and uneasy in his heart.
It was a strange world after all!
"Captain Hong?"
Andrew seemed to have noticed Hong Fan's abnormality and asked softly in the team communication channel.
Hong Fan pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine."
"It's just that I'm a little...uncomfortable with this role."
He chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm really not cut out to be a captain."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and reached out to pull down the gate on the side.
The vibration of the mechanical transmission device continued to come from the soles of his feet.
The thick door in front of him slowly opened.
A fine dust came and gently hit Hong Fan's transparent mask, making a rustling sound.
It looks beautiful.
But...
Isn't the impact sound of this dust a little too loud? !
Is this the impact sound that sand can make?
On Earth, this should be the sound that small gravel can make when it is installed on the windshield!
In less than a second, Hong Fan realized the problem.
He breathed a little quickly and whispered, "What is the wind speed outside now?!"
Andrew also heard the rustling sound from the helmet mask.
He quickly raised his right hand and glanced at the watch on his hand.
[Current wind speed: 15km/h]
"Only 15 kilometers per hour!" Andrew subconsciously took a step back and his tone became hurried, "Level 3 breeze!"
Level 3 breeze, wind speed 12-19 kilometers per hour, can only cause leaves to sway in the wind and flags to unfold slightly!
But now...
"15 kilometers per hour?!" Hong Fan was stunned, and his voice was full of surprise, "How can it be only 15 kilometers per hour?!"
With the lethality of the dust now, let alone the wind speed of 15 kilometers per hour, Hong Fan believed that 50 kilometers per hour was possible!
"Shh..."
Before Andrew could reply, a slight electric current sounded in everyone's headphones.
The next moment, the signal from [Earth] squeezed into the communication channel.
"Attention, all units."
Fang Xu's extremely serious voice sounded in the communication channel.
"At present, the outside wind speed is 15 kilometers per hour."
"Because the atmospheric density of Dawn Star is much higher than that of the Earth, the destructive power caused by the storm will increase significantly."
"According to Zero's calculation results."
"Once the wind speed exceeds 40 kilometers per hour, your life will be in danger!"
"Next, the first version of the Dawn Star Survival Manual and weather forecast information will be transmitted to you."
"Be sure to pay attention." Fang Xu's voice became more and more solemn in the communication device.
"Since this is a brand new planet, our weather forecast data may have a slight deviation in the absence of historical observation data."
After the words fell, the watch on Hong Fan's wrist vibrated slightly.
"Survival Manual for Dawn Star V1.0"
He swallowed lightly.
A wind speed of 40 kilometers per hour would be life-threatening...
Whether on Earth, Mars, Proxima b or Ross 2, he had never encountered such a situation!
"Captain Hong, shall we set off now?"
Andrew asked softly in the communication channel: "Or should we wait until the wind is smaller?"
Hong Fan did not respond to Andrew's inquiry immediately.
He looked at his watch again and reached out to open the real-time weather forecast.
