Chapter 102 Crossing the Frozen Atmosphere
The Dauntless used the jump program to quickly teleport to the designated search area.
This is an area filled with countless asteroids. Intrepid walked carefully through the dense debris. After passing through an asteroid belt, two parallel giant planets appeared directly in front.
"Sure enough, there is another planet. It seems that we have really found it." Lev said excitedly.
The spacecraft approached the two planets, and we clearly saw the Amoeba star accidentally breaking into the ring belt of the black planet. The asteroid belt we just passed through seemed to be the one that was accidentally broken into the ring belt by the Amoeba star.
It flew out after the collision.
The temperature of the rogue planet seems to be lower than that of the black planet, so its own frozen atmosphere severely impacts the original atmosphere of the black planet, swallowing half of the area.
But the strange thing is that the two planets have not collided with each other. They are both moving in opposite directions and are gradually moving away from each other.
"Data comparison confirmed that the silvery-white planet on the left is Amoeba," Duoduo said.
"Great, we finally found it." I said happily.
"There is also good news. After Amoeba collided with the ring belt of the black star planet in front of us, a gap appeared in the frozen atmosphere of the impact area. This is a once-in-a-lifetime landing opportunity." Duoduotong reported.
.
"Oh my god, this rare opportunity has actually appeared. I remember that the Imperial Fleet tried to drill through the frozen atmosphere, but failed." Master Jing said.
"Seize this opportunity and send these little guys to their new homes." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
"I calculated through the laser scanner that the gap in the frozen atmosphere at the top of the planet will be closed again in an hour." Duoduo reported anxiously.
"Oh my god, if I come a little later, I'll be in trouble." Zhang Baoer said.
"Duoduo immediately scanned the ground data, and Diudiu cooperated to launch the spacecraft and pass through the gap space." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
The Dauntless shook and flew quickly towards the gap in the frozen atmosphere.
The spacecraft quickly arrived at the gap. The thickness of this atmosphere reached hundreds of kilometers. With the severe cold of minus 150 degrees, the gap that was knocked out of the atmosphere was healing at an alarming speed.
"Quickly cross and find a suitable landing site." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
The Intrepid went straight down, heading towards the surface of the planet Amoeba.
The entire planet is filled with an unknown white gas, which seems to be a vapor-like substance caused by the temperature change after the frozen atmosphere was hit and a gap was created.
"Laser detector scans show that the surface of Amoeba is covered by thick hard ice, but there seems to be a higher temperature area at the equator of the planet." Duoduo reported the scan results.
"Time is urgent. The gap in the atmosphere is about to be closed. Go to areas with higher temperatures immediately." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
"Received, we will arrive at the designated area in 10 minutes." Diudiu replied.
The Dauntless flew towards its destination at full speed, and the entire Amoeba star showed a white world outside the port window, lifeless.
"This place is too desolate. There is nothing. Can they survive if they are left here?" Zhang Baoer asked.
"The environment here has been millions of times better than that of the Adrian star. The rogue planet was originally very likely to be active and rich in resources. Due to the unexpected gravitational ejection, it left its original orbit and wandered around the planet.
,Although the temperature is extremely low, the stored resources will not be reduced." Lao Du replied.
"Yes, there is no competition from other races here and it will not destroy the balance of species." I added.
While we were discussing with each other, the Intrepid was quickly approaching the destination area.
A black area emitting steam appeared in front of us.
"Wow, this is like a paradise." I exclaimed.
In the ice and snow of Star Amoeba, several eagle-like bulges appeared, distributed in the center of this black area. From these bulges, large amounts of steam were constantly spraying out.
In an area of more than 100 square kilometers surrounding these bulges, there are large black plants growing like cedars.
"It seems that the core of this amoeba star is not dead yet, and is still emitting geothermal heat," Lev said.
"Yes, the frozen atmosphere protected the energy system of this wandering planet, preventing the ultra-low temperature in the universe from eroding the surface of the planet." Master Jing said.
The system shows that the temperature in this black area is around zero degrees Celsius, making it a very good livable zone.
"Duoduo, immediately scan the planet's ecosystem and put down the sterile reconnaissance robot." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
Just when Zhang Xingxing gave the order, there was a huge clicking sound in the sky.
"The frozen atmosphere is about to heal, please speed up." Diudiu reminded.
Duoduo scanned this black area carefully with all his strength, and the reconnaissance robot also worked non-stop, continuously transmitting reconnaissance data back to the Dauntless.
About 10 minutes later, the data came out. According to the scan results, there are only plants and no animals on this planet, but it has sufficient water sources and heat energy.
"Finally, it was a relaxing and happy result once. It's impossible to have bad luck every time." Zhang Baoer said.
"Judging from the data, the planet's geothermal core can still operate for hundreds of millions of years." Duoduotong reported.
"Then let's go here, hurry up and let Blue and the others down. These transparent creatures will finally be completely free." Zhang Xingxing said.
The time to say goodbye has finally arrived.
Everyone arrived at the cargo hold of the Intrepid. As soon as the hatch was opened, the tentacles of these little guys immediately turned towards us with vigilance. The leader was Blue, who was covered with tape.
"Bru, I have found a planet for you that is suitable for you and your tribe to survive. The temperature and resources here are very suitable, and the location is hidden, which can protect your safety well. Now that you have arrived at your destination, I will send you there.
Go over there." I said to Blue.
As if he understood my words, the substance in Blue's transparent tentacles began to flow rapidly, and then the little guy took the lead, jumping and jumping with the tribe towards the exit.
"Lao Du and I will go out of the cabin, send them out, and ask the captain for instructions." I applied to Zhang Xingxing.
"Approve the action." Zhang Xingxing replied.
Lao Du and I accompanied Blue and his tribe to the conversion cabin. I turned on the deformation protection system, the conversion cabin indicator light came on, the hatch opened, and the transparent creatures poured out and entered this temperature that was too hot for them.
A very suitable world.
The bodies of the transparent creatures that entered the surface of the amoeba star immediately dropped from dark green to light green, and gradually returned to normal vitality.
Some transparent creatures jumped around in place and then gradually left.
About ten minutes later, all the transparent creatures left to find a suitable place to live. In front of my eyes, only Blue was left with the tape on it.
"Little one, go ahead, this will be your home from now on." Seeing that Blue didn't want to leave, I leaned down and stroked Blue's body and said.
The red light in Blue's body suddenly became dazzling and did not fade away.
"Wangyue, we have to retreat, time is running out." Lao Du reminded.
For some unknown reason, I always have a hard-to-leave feeling about Blue. This little guy who can communicate with my soul seems to have been helping us silently.
But things will eventually end, and there will always be differences when we get together. It's time to separate.
I raised my body, waved to Blue, turned and walked towards the Dauntless.
Lao Du and I walked back to the Fearless step by step. The moment we entered the conversion cabin, I wanted to turn around and say goodbye to Blue for the last time, but when I turned my head, the little guy in front of me had disappeared, and there was only a moment left.
The water vapor driven by the breeze swirls in the air, and the scenes in front of you flicker and appear, like an illusion.
"It's gone. We have helped them gain freedom. You should be happy. Let's retreat quickly." Lao Du said to me from the side.
Although he is reluctant to leave, Lao Du is right, all the efforts are indeed worth it and he is happy for it.
Lao Du and I returned to the Fearless, and the situation here was already a bit tense.
"Duoduo, start the spacecraft and leave here immediately." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
Louder clicking sounds continued to be heard in the sky, as if the frozen atmosphere was about to overlap and collide, creating a frightening fusion sound.
The Dauntless seized the time and flew quickly towards the gap in the atmosphere. After passing through the dense water vapor, a terrifying scene appeared in front of it.
I saw that the gaps in the atmosphere in the sky were about to overlap. Due to the powerful collision caused by the irregularity of the huge ice layer at the interface, pieces of huge and sharp ice were falling from the sky. Each ice block
They are all like a huge iceberg. The key is that the density is beyond imagination.
"Oh my god, this is like icebergs falling directly from the sky." Zhang Baoer seemed to have a sense of fear.
"Duoduo, immediately calculate the gaps between these huge ice blocks and formulate the best flight route. How long will it take for the atmospheric ice layer interface to completely merge? Do we have enough time?" Zhang Xingxing quickly ordered to Duoduo.
"Don't worry, Captain, it's my turn to perform. Everyone, stay seated and ready. Next, I will show you the super driving ability of the intelligent robot." Duoduo agreed.
I saw Duoduo and Diudiu making quick calculations and setting up a flight route plan based on the results. The Fearless immediately started to move around among these huge and sharp ice blocks.
The Dauntless is indeed an extremely precious asset left by Nomu. In such a dense ice attack, except for a small part of the broken ice that was knocked away by the Dauntless's shield, the entire spacecraft used data to fly, and it was actually perfect.
The ground avoided all attacks from the giant ice.
A few minutes later, the Intrepid passed through the meteorite ice mass, and the gap in the frozen atmosphere was right in front of him.
There was a thunderous sound in the sky, and the last gap in the frozen atmosphere was about to heal back into one.
"No, the ice is about to close, and we are too late." It looked like there were still several kilometers away from the final exit, but there was only the last crack left in the ice, one meter behind our spacecraft.
, the ice layer has completely merged.
My heart jumped nervously into my throat. The impact of this huge ice layer created by nature cannot be resisted by any technological equipment. All of us may be crushed by it.
At this critical moment, Duoduo decisively launched the spacecraft's close jump, and the Dauntless was like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the frozen atmosphere at the moment when the ice layers completely overlapped.
A huge thumping sound and strong acceleration actually broke the safety rope of Zhang Baoer's seat, and the guy flew directly out and fell to the ground.
There was a huge crash behind him, and the atmosphere of the entire Amoeba star healed again and calmness returned.
In the moment just now, all of us experienced life and death, and my heartbeat and thoughts have not calmed down yet. This is what Zhang Baoer calls relaxed and happy, which caused us to relax our vigilance and almost caused a disaster.
Chapter completed!
