"Tomorrow is the day when we really set out. The chosen target is right below this big hole. The height of the hole is 600 meters, and the maximum width is about 800 meters. Scientists have discovered the gap that breaks into the inner ring. "
In the combat conference room, Yu Yifeng pointed to the schematic diagram of the UFO ruins and said.
"Because there may still be energy in the inner ring of the flying saucer, we still use the method of robots to open the way. A large number of robots will take the lead in exploring the path in front, and we will follow all the way from behind. Once we find valuable things, we will dismantle them... …”
After saying this, Yu Yifeng's face became serious: "We will set off on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Everyone will bring their own equipment. I won't go into details about the specific division of labor. Do you all understand?"
The people below all nodded.
The members of the entire team are captain Yu Yifeng, prophet Calvin, heavy fireman Zhao Yao, sniper Shen Jie, demolitionist Zhang Jun, as well as a medic, a hacker, and three engineers responsible for disassembly. .
The personnel are relatively simple, but each has its own use, and one can be said to be indispensable.
"After the operation starts tomorrow, everything will be under my command. I don't know what is in the flying saucer, but I will be responsible for everyone and put life safety first. This is my promise!"
"Everyone must strictly observe military discipline, don't panic when encountering danger, and show some military ethics! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay...dismissed!"
A night of silence.
All the special team members are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the recruits selected are also the best heroes. Although each of them is a little excited, they can barely force themselves to rest.
In other words, Calvin was forced to come in. He felt that this operation might be dangerous, and he was a little reluctant at first, but he couldn't resist the order... In the end, he could only accept it calmly.
At 7:30 the next morning, everyone gathered at the designated location, got dressed, and got ready to hit the road.
Under everyone's gaze, bus-sized Mars rovers drove down from the elevator. They were as small as ants in front of the huge Noah spacecraft.
However, these ants are about to challenge unknown alien civilizations on behalf of mankind...
"Let's go!" Following Yu Yifeng's order, all the Mars rovers began to move forward steadily.
The Martian landscape is a bit like the loess slopes on Earth, rough and quiet, and orange-red at first glance. However, the soil here is redder and more desolate than the loess slopes.
As Yu Yifeng sat in the car, he felt a surge of lofty ideals for no apparent reason. Although the sense of crisis in his heart was not eliminated, he suddenly felt a magical sense of excitement. This is the most primitive desire of human beings for adventure...
He has a feeling that the rise of new human civilization may occur during this expedition...
This is future technology that surpasses human beings by hundreds or thousands of years... No matter what, they must grasp it!
He saw Calvin in a daze and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "How are you? Did you sense anything?"
Calvin shook his head. He had predicted it many times in the past few days, and every time it was endless light... It was really inexplicable.
In fact, the success rate of his prediction ability is only about 50%. It is not successful every time. It may be that he misunderstood the meaning of the image, or there may be other reasons.
But like Yu Yifeng, he also had a sense of crisis, but he was secretly vigilant.
In this way, time passed slowly, and it was not until more than an hour later that the Mars rover slowed down. By this time, the rover team was already approaching the edge of the UFO ruins.
"Okay, now we have entered the basin dug by the automatic excavator. There is still about 20 kilometers to go. Everyone, put on your aerospace helmets and prepare everything you need to..."
Everyone responded to express their understanding and put on their equipment.
As the distance to the flying saucer got closer and closer, everyone's heartbeats became more and more intense. Even the elite veterans Zhao Yao, Shen Jie, and Zhang Jun had their hearts beating fiercely and their palms were slightly sweaty.
Immediately afterwards... Yu Yifeng suddenly felt a deep malice. This was an extremely subtle and strange intuition: Danger! Extreme danger!
The hairs on Yu Yifeng's back stood up, and he felt that there was an edge on his back, and an extremely malicious glance at them.
At this moment, the veins on his forehead popped out one by one!
But this feeling only lasted for a second, and disappeared in an instant, just like an illusion...
"Captain!" Zhao Yao noticed something was wrong with Yu Yifeng's expression and shouted quickly.
"Calvin! Do you feel any danger?" Yu Yifeng came back to his senses and shouted loudly.
Calvin's heart was beating fast, he was sweating profusely, and his eyes stared out, "I...I..."
He found that he seemed to have no way to predict it. No matter what, he could not enter that mysterious state!
"No, I can't feel anything. My ability to predict things seems to be blocked!" The sweat on his face rolled down his cheeks. This was the first time this happened.
Yu Yifeng frowned tightly and thought silently for a while... What's going on?
He asked carefully again, and except for himself and Calvin who felt it clearly, the others... all felt slightly uncomfortable. If they weren't reminded, they wouldn't even feel much!
Just run away in despair? No... After hesitating for a long time, he still ordered. "Keep going! Go and take a look first!"
Not long after, a group of people came to the bottom of the hole in the flying saucer. There were broken metal walls everywhere, and the things inside were severely damaged. According to scientists, this should be an engine room, but it was destroyed by a powerful weapon. Destroyed.
Yu Yifeng took out a military flashlight and shined it upward for a while. There was indeed a dark hole leading to the interior at a height of 300 meters!
He thought carefully, then exited the hole, waved his hand back, "Don't worry, let's carry out the surrounding disassembly tasks!"
Several engineers nodded and immediately started working, while the rest held weapons and were on guard.
Among these Mars rovers, except for the first one, which is manned, the following vehicles are engineering vehicles with various machinery on them. Several engineers began to operate various machines to dismantle the pipe-like metal around the flying saucer.
According to experts, these pipelines are space weapons or some communication devices. Some of them are badly damaged, but some are well preserved, and even the circuits inside are mostly complete.
Every time one is removed, the scientists on the Noah will cheer loudly. They also monitor and monitor several expedition members at all times.
The current robots are far less efficient than humans in performing such flexible tasks.
Since the surface of the flying saucer is full of large tear holes, as long as it is cut along these holes, the disassembly work is extremely smooth. After about six hours of work, 13 large-scale disassembly tasks were successfully completed without any danger during the process.
This also made Yu Yifeng breathe a sigh of relief. With these dismantled things alone, their trip could not be considered in vain.
The group of people returned to the rover, ate something, rested for a while, and then walked under the hole again.
"Captain, if there is really danger, should we go back first?" Sniper Shen Jie licked his lips. He was not afraid, but he believed in Yu Yifeng's intuition.
Yu Yifeng shook his head, because it was not his style to shrink back when he sensed some danger. He knew some old sayings: risks and benefits are always directly proportional.
If there is really energy inside, there must be more complete and complete equipment!
"I'll go up first, you guys watch from below!"
He observed carefully for a while and no longer hesitated. First he took out a climbing rope, inserted an iron carabiner into the spring launcher, aimed it at the metal rod protruding from above, and shot it out with a "swish" sound.
Because the gravity of Mars is relatively low, the hook was shot extremely high. It circled the metal rod several times and got stuck firmly.
Yu Yifeng pulled the rope and pulled it hard a few times. He felt that there was no problem, and then jumped up.
Rope climbing is an essential skill for soldiers. Since there is no assistance under the feet, Yu Yifeng can only use the "empty-handed guide" method to climb up in the air. This method requires the arms, abdomen and legs to exert force at the same time, which is harmful to the physical fitness. The requirements are very high.
Normally, competitions in the military only take place at a height of about 20 meters. But now he has to climb 300 meters!
Shen Jie, Zhao Yao and others stared at the hole nervously, aiming their guns firmly to keep Yu Yifeng on guard.
Fortunately, the gravity of Mars is only one-third that of the Earth, so the weight has been reduced a lot, and the physical requirements are also much lower. After about five minutes, Yu Yifeng climbed to the top.
He jumped to a small platform about ten square meters, looked at the hole quietly, and waited quietly. He held the Gauss rifle tightly in his hand and would shoot without hesitation if there was any movement.
After a while, Yu Yifeng confirmed that it was safe. He waved the flashlight down and said in the earphone: "You use the rope to hoist the crane, and I will pull it up first!"
Immediately afterwards, he struggled to pull up a small crane while turning his back to the entrance of the cave. This period was the most dangerous time, and he could only be distracted, pulling the rope while paying attention to the movement behind him.
Fortunately, nothing happened during this period of time, which made Yu Yifeng a little surprised. Was he being suspicious...
