Asuka Shin climbed out of the tilted cabin staggeringly, grinning and rubbing his shoulder that was hit by the impact of the Victory Condor when it hit the ground, but his eyes scanned the surroundings like sharp eagle eyes.
All you see are towering trees, rising tens of meters high from the ground.
Looking up along the trunk of the tree, the lush branches and leaves are densely packed together, stacked on top of each other, covering the sky tightly, without even a crack to let light through, so that the sky is extremely bright, but the ground is full of light.
It was completely dark, and it was difficult to see clearly even twenty or thirty meters away. The visual field conditions were very poor.
He looked down and saw that the triangular wings were only three or four meters above the ground, and the ground was covered with thick dead branches and fallen leaves, which looked very soft.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Asukaxin chose to jump.
The ground is indeed very soft, soft beyond imagination. The dead branches and leaves that have been accumulated for an unknown period of time are still a little green on the top, but the bottom has long been rotten. As soon as Asukaxin stepped on it, there was a 'Pfft' sound.
Once it sank in, the black mud immediately surged out, exuding a strong putrid smell.
The smell rushed straight to the sky, making Asuka Xin's breath stagnate, and he lost his balance at his feet. He immediately fell forward and subconsciously used his palms to support the ground, but it suddenly broke through the dry branches and leaves on the surface and penetrated deep below.
In the muddy branches and mud leaves, the smelly water that had accumulated for an unknown period of time splashed all over Feiniao Xin's body and face.
The sour and refreshing smell almost made Feiniao Xin faint. He couldn't help but retched, and he quickly climbed up on his hands and feet. After some fluttering, he got a lot of mud and rotten leaves on his body, and wiped out the good food.
The uniform looked like a rag that had just been mopped, and it still exuded a fishy and sour smell. It was so disgusting.
Anyway, Asuka Shin only smelled it once, and he shivered so much that he wished he could chop off his arms that were covered in black smelly branches and leaves.
"What is this?"
Asuka Shin stretched his hand forward with all his strength, his face was so bitter that he almost cried.
"Eh!!!"
A sound of great disgust came from above the head, and Asuka Shin, who was standing knee-deep in the mud, raised his head and saw Yumimura Yoshimasa pinching his nose, with a look of disgust on his face, and said: "What are you doing?"
"I...this..."
Asuka Shin wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he felt the stench pouring into his nose. He wanted to pinch his nose, but the smell was even worse with his hands. He wanted to pull out his feet, but as soon as his legs moved, they started to stir, and the stinky water surged and became even richer.
the smell.
Seeing Asuka Shin's experience, Yumimura felt extremely lucky in her conscience. Fortunately, she didn't jump down in a hurry and avoided the stench by taking a step too late.
It's better to just kill her than let her soak in this smelly water and mud.
"Now I know what they were shouting."
Chiba Makoto looked at the swamp covered with branches and leaves, and finally understood what the crew of Lomus 3 was shouting, obviously trying to prevent them from landing.
On this terrain, there is no difference between a plane falling and a crash. The mud directly reaches the landing gear and blocks the jet holes. The vertical take-off and landing function is basically useless. If it is forced to take off, even if it flies, it will cause huge damage to the power system.
Damage may occur, and the pipe may even burst due to excessive pressure before it even takes flight.
With a sad face, Asukaxin tried hard to climb up the wing, still complaining: "You were flying well, why did you fall down?"
His words were full of resentment. If the Victory Condor hadn't fallen, he wouldn't have hurriedly climbed out of the cabin according to the standard procedure and jumped out, and he wouldn't have fallen into the endless pile of dead branches and rot.
In the swamp of leaves, naturally it will not become smelly and dirty.
"I don't know either," said Yumimura Ryoya, who was extremely depressed when talking about this, "Everything was obviously normal, but suddenly he lost control and fell down."
Yumimura Ryo is trying to remember what just happened, and it's strange.
Unlike previous crashes caused by monster attacks, it just lost power for a moment, just like a fish swimming when there was suddenly no water in front of it. No matter how you shook your head and tail, it was of no avail.
Yumimura Ryo tried his best to prevent the Victory Condor from falling headfirst, and landed staggeringly on the ground without suffering much damage.
Just as he was about to find out the reason, he saw Asuka Shin climb out of the cabin, jump down, and then fell into the mud, causing Yumimura Ryo, who was about to follow, to stop in time.
"Try to see if we can contact Lomus No. 3." Chiba Cheng said and started to call. As expected, it ended in failure. There was no satellite as a relay communication, and the airborne radio alone could not cover very far.
distance.
"If we can't be contacted, they will come over."
Yumimura Ryo looked at the dim forest and the swamp with no visible edge, feeling worried in his heart.
What can we do?
I don't even want to try if I go there, not to mention that this swamp is one foot deep and one foot shallow. It's impossible to see or touch what's going on below. You have to rely on luck to move forward. If you miss the mark, it will be a disaster.
If you can't even make a sound, your whole person will be swallowed up immediately;
There is an emergency lifeboat on the Victory Condor, and it is an inflatable type, but this is a swamp, with branches and leaves on the surface and almost no water. I am afraid that the boat will not be able to row very far, it will be useless, and it may even break. Let's go together.
Fall into a trap, fall into a pit.
It seems like I can only fly over.
Thinking about it, Yumimura Yoshiro cast his hopeful eyes on Chiba Makoto, blinking, hoping that he could take everyone to fly there.
It's just that Chiba Makoto didn't seem to notice. He lowered his head and fiddled with the instruments in his hands. He was actually using an airborne detector to collect various data on the planet: gas composition, oxygen content, temperature
, humidity, etc.
And here, Asuka Shin finally climbed up from the mud along the Alpha's full-wing fuselage using his hands and feet. He lay on the wing as if he was exhausted, not caring about the mud on his body, and left the originally clean and tidy place.
The beautiful fuselage was stained with dirt, and I only had one thought in my mind: I really wanted to go home and take a shower.
Not only did his body stink, but it was also sticky and wet. This feeling was quite bad. It made Asuka Xin feel uncomfortable all over and he wanted to peel off his skin.
Yumimura Ryo looked at the dirty Asuka letter, shook his head, and said: "You should clean it up yourself. There is not much water on the plane. I'm afraid I won't be able to flush it for you. Maybe I'll find a small river later..."
When Yumimura Ryo said this, he suddenly stopped talking and took a few strong breaths before he was shocked: "Breathe smoothly, can this planet breathe freely?"
She was just worried, but now she remembered that this was an alien planet, not the earth, so why could she breathe freely without wearing an oxygen mask?
Could it be that this place is the same as Earth?
It's incredible.
"Because the gas composition and oxygen content here are exactly the same as those on Earth."
Chiba Makoto raised his hand and showed the data displayed on the tablet to Yumimura Ryo. This was the result of the detection just now. It is not known from other places, but the environment around where the Victory Condor fell was not only similar to the Earth, but also the climate was similar to the Earth.
Almost the same, the temperature and humidity are basically a replica of the tropical rainforests on Earth.
This result made Yumimura feel quite incredible. She looked at it again and again with her tablet, doubting her own eyes, but her comfortable breathing made her believe that the environment here was really similar to that of the earth.
this...
What a gift package from heaven.
Humanity is planning to transform the planet and colonize alien planets. It has even launched a hugely expensive plan to transform Mars. However, before this plan was completed, a planet with an environment exactly the same as the Earth was discovered in the Kuiper Belt.
Isn't this the Chosen Immigration Star? There's no need to worry too much, just drive the spaceship over.
But... how is this possible?
The facts were before his eyes, but Yumimura Ryo still couldn't believe it.
Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, it is also difficult for two identical planets to appear in the universe.
The ecological environment of a planet is an extremely complex and precise system. Even if there is only one difference or even a few decimal places, it will have a "butterfly effect" impact on the entire ecosystem.
It's like color mixing, even if the colors used are the same, as long as the proportions are slightly different, the colors will be different.
However, this planet, which is very different in terms of size, weight and distance from the sun, was born in the same environment as the earth.
Simply put, when you pour paint into the palette, a world-famous painting spills out.
This probability is one hundred and eight thousand times lower than the several hundred million among ordinary people.
But it happened and it happened.
Yumimura Ryo was so shocked by this shocking fact that he couldn't speak for a long time. He was silent for a long time before he said, "But why is there nothing here?"
In the forests on the earth, everything flourishes, and there are a lot of birds and insects. But here, not to mention the flocks of birds, even the birds are not heard. As for the number of birds everywhere on the earth,
There were so many insects, not even a single one was seen.
The most incredible thing is that after sampling and observing the sludge contaminated on Asuka Shin's body, no microorganisms were found in it.
This result directly shattered Yumimura Ryo's outlook on life. There were no living creatures at all. Maybe it was the sound of the Victory Eagle falling that scared them all away.
But if the most basic and primitive microorganisms of an ecosystem have not been found, it means that the ecosystem is not alive. Then this is wrong. If there are no microorganisms, who is responsible for decomposing the fallen branches and leaves in this forest?
Woolen cloth?
Looking at the mud stained by Feiniao Xin, you can know that such thick and deep black mud was definitely not formed overnight, but took a long time to let the fallen branches and leaves of the trees decay and ferment again and again.
Such a swamp.
But there are no microorganisms, which is strange.
Without microorganisms, there would be no decomposers, and the foundation of the ecosystem would be missing, so how could it maintain normal operation?
It's like a building without a foundation. Even if it is forcibly built, it will collapse in a gust of wind.
But unfortunately, 'this building' still maintains its lushness, and only the trees are prosperous, and all other creatures have disappeared.
Such an ecosystem is abnormal no matter how you look at it. It's almost like grandma's house.
"There's something wrong with this place."
Yumimura Ryo could only come to this conclusion after a long time.
There is no way, there is too little data, not enough samples, and the results can only be so small. Specifically, the samples need to be brought back to Earth, and then multiple teams can conduct analysis from different angles and for different purposes, and finally detailed results can be obtained.
"Meet the crew of Romus 3 as soon as possible and leave here." Chiba Makoto put the sampling box into the Victory Condor and said to Yumimura Ryo.
"But..." Yumimura Ryo looked at the surrounding swamps and said in a dilemma: "How are we going to find them?"
Although his face was troubled, he was secretly looking at Chiba Cheng from the corner of his eye.
"Well..." Chiba Makoto drawled, put his hand into his clothes, and took out a box under Yumimura Ryo's increasingly bright eyes.
"Um???"
With questions all over his face, Chiba Cheng raised his hand and took off the ordinary-looking watch from his wrist. Then with a flash of light, the watch instantly expanded and turned into a shining silver watch.
The metal object has a crack in the middle, and the core is a round gemstone emitting blue light.
After Chiba Cheng thought for a moment, he pulled out the earth element Ultra Dimension Card from the Ultra Card box, and swiped it through the center of the Dimensional Fighting Instrument.
"Dimensional fighting instrument, activate!"
Accompanied by a loud electronic synthesized sound, a beam of light shot out from the Ultra Dimension Card and fell towards the ground under the control of Chiba Makoto.
The soft mud instantly solidified and hardened, forming a road in the blink of an eye, extending from where the Victory Condor was to the depths of the forest.
"This is..." Yumimura Ryo looked at this miraculous scene, his eyes widening and widening, full of shock.
I saw this with my own eyes. In the blink of an eye, a road appeared in the swamp.
Isn't this the legendary magic?
"It's just simple element manipulation."
Chiba Makoto acted calmly and calmly, giving the impression that this was nothing and not worth mentioning at all.
Then he jumped down onto the two-meter-wide hard dirt road and stamped his feet vigorously, showing with practical actions that the road was solid.
"That's awesome, Captain!"
Feiniaoxin praised and came down again, carefully placed his feet, stepped on it again and again, and then put the weight on his feet with confidence. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the road was quite strong.
"Let's go find Xincheng and the others."
Chiba Makoto strode forward, the Ultra Dimension Card in his hand continued to radiate light, supporting the earth element's continuous transformation of the terrain, allowing the dirt road to continue to extend forward.
Asuka Nobu and Yumimura Ryo hurried to follow. This place is too weird, so it's better to follow closely. Who knows what will happen if we fall behind, but nothing good will happen anyway.
