Chapter 412 Spider-shaped robot
Dawn Star.
A hilly area not far from the A1 Plain.
A huge planetary landing vehicle was lying quietly in a depression on the ground.
Several thick carbon nanotube ropes stretched out from the top and bottom of the vehicle.
These carbon nanotube ropes were connected to the steel nails deeply driven into the ground, firmly binding the planetary landing vehicle to the barren ground of Dawn Star.
These fixing measures can effectively resist the strong winds of no more than 80km/h on the surface of Dawn Star.
But now...
[Warning! ]
[Current external wind speed: 70km/h! ]
In the planetary landing vehicle, the red alarm kept flashing.
Thanks to the terrain factors, these low hills greatly reduced the power of the storm.
In addition, there was no narrow channel effect, so the wind speed in the area where the team was located was not as terrible as that in the Central Canyon.
But even so, the fixing measures of the planetary landing vehicle were at the edge of the limit.
In the cabin, several crew members looked palely at the "horrible" scenery outside the window.
The overwhelming yellow sand poured into this vast world.
At this moment, these new generations born from Proxima Centauri finally deeply realized the horror of nature.
"Captain, Captain."
A crew member looked at the slowly rising wind speed value in the holographic projection and swallowed hard: "Can we still wait for rescue..."
The captain did not speak, but just silently looked at the world with flying yellow sand outside the window.
Can we wait for rescue?
He did not know how the rescue operation mentioned by Academician Fang was achieved.
But he knew.
In such bad weather, I am afraid that no starship can land successfully.
How can we talk about rescue?
"Beep!"
Another familiar alarm sound.
[Current external wind speed: 72km/h]
Perhaps because of the fusion of the storms on the A1 and A2 plains, the wind speed of this small hill nearby began to soar again.
He sighed softly and shook his head in despair.
It's too late.
Even if the fleet has sent out a rescue team, they can't wait.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and face the last moments calmly, a cry of surprise came from behind him.
"Captain! Look!!"
"There's something in the sky!!!"
Hearing the exclamation of the team members, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There's something in the sky?
What else can there be in the sky except the yellow sand and small gravel?
Starship?
Don't be kidding.
What kind of starship can land in such a harsh environment?
He leaned to the window, raised his head, and cast a questioning look in the direction of the team members' fingers.
Just one glance.
He held his breath.
In the muddy yellow sky, a huge rectangular body with a silver-white body and a blue flame at the tail can be vaguely seen.
"Rescue team?"
He raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "What type of starship is this?"
No one answered him.
But a few seconds later.
As the altitude continued to decrease, the true face of the silver-white rectangle gradually appeared in front of him.
This is not a starship at all!
The captain couldn't help but curse in his heart.
It was like a plus version of the "coffin", swooping down to the ground in a simple and rough manner!
The light of the Hall thruster at the bottom became stronger and stronger, trying its best to slow down the speed of this large "coffin".
A faint blue flame also emerged from its side.
Obviously, in order to stabilize the landing posture of this "coffin", the designers even thoughtfully installed several low-power Hall thrusters on its side.
A familiar electronic synthesized sound sounded in the planetary landing vehicle.
"Attention, exploration team No. 24."
"The rescue team is about to arrive at your coordinates, please all crew members prepare for impact immediately."
"Landing countdown: 10,9..."
The rescue team arrived, why do they need to prepare for impact?
A question mark slowly rose in everyone's mind.
But there was no time to think about it. Listening to the urgent countdown, everyone hurriedly fastened the seat belts on their seats and turned on the anti-impact mode of the exoskeleton armor.
Then, under the gaze of everyone,
This huge silver-white "coffin" "smashed" hard on the hill not far away.
Yes.
It just "smashed" on the ground in a simple and rough way.
The density of yellow sand and gravel in the air suddenly increased.
The violent tremor came from the ground, along the wheels, chassis, seats, and reached everyone's heart.
The next moment, a strong shock wave came from the "landing point", accompanied by the creaking sound of carbon nanotube ropes, and alarms sounded in the planetary landing vehicle.
A few seconds later.
Another wave of the same vibration came from another direction.
The captain turned his head sharply and looked at the other side of the car window.
Sure enough.
On the hill farther away, there was also a square silver-white "coffin".
...
"The rescue team has landed successfully."
"Please wait patiently for the rescue robot."
"If there is any abnormality, please report to the [Earth] Command Center immediately."
Accompanied by waves of shock waves, the electronic synthesized voice in the planetary landing vehicle said slowly.
After dozens of seconds.
The view outside the car window became a little clearer.
Through the car windows and through the endless yellow sand, the crew members looked at the three silver-white rectangular devices arranged in a Z-shaped shape around them with shocked expressions.
The next moment.
The shell of the rectangular device cracked several gaps and slowly unfolded in the powerful storm, revealing the "rescue troops" inside - several large spider-shaped robots.
The spider-shaped robot is similar in size to a planetary landing vehicle.
But its weight is obviously much greater than that of the planetary landing vehicle - its eight spider legs will penetrate deeply into the rocky ground of Dawn Star with every step it takes.
In this way, relying on their own weight, these spider-shaped robots took extremely steady steps in the storm, slowly walking towards the planetary landing vehicle in the center.
Inside the planetary landing vehicle, the captain looked straight at the scene outside the window and murmured to himself: "This...is this the rescue force?"
"How are these robots going to save us..."
Before he finished speaking, these spider-shaped robots gave the answer.
At the moment it approached the planetary landing vehicle, the spider-shaped robot's rear two legs quickly inserted into the surface rock.
Under the extremely powerful power, these two spider legs were completely submerged into the rock.
Underground, where no one saw it, two piercing spider legs protruded with several barbs, tightly blocking the ground beneath their feet.
Then, with the help of these two spider legs, it tilted inward at an angle of 45 degrees.
The two pairs of legs on the side are connected to the surrounding spider-shaped robots in turn.
A thin film made of carbyne material gradually protruded from the sides of these two pairs of spider legs.
These robots used their bodies to build a simple and extremely strong airtight wall for the people in the planetary landing vehicle.
As for the two spider legs in front, they are connected with the surrounding spider robots to form the top of the wall.
In this way, a simple shelter appeared in front of everyone.
[Exploration Team No. 24, the basic shelter has been built. 】
In the holographic projection, a line of Chinese characters jumped out.
[The shelter is equipped with a total of 9 medical cabins, some food and drinking water, and 9 single lounges...]
[Current wind speed in the shelter: 0km/h. 】
[Please wait patiently for the storm to end. 】
Before anyone could react, small hatches opened on the "wall", that is, the abdomen of the spider-shaped robot.
Obviously, the so-called single lounge is located among these hatches.
"team leader……"
From behind, a trembling voice came: "Are we saved?"
The captain took a deep breath, unfastened the seat belt on his seat, and said excitedly: "Yes!"
"We are saved!"
"Walk!"
"Put on your spacesuit and get out of the car!"
