A disk-sized yellowish planet appeared in front of the spacecraft.
The planet's atmosphere is as hazy as Saturn's, but more disgusting. The flowing atmosphere forms uncomfortable patterns, full of abscesses and yellow pus.
The planet is already terminally ill.
This is Earth.
The earth is already visible and is the size of a disk, which means that the spacecraft has approached within 500,000 kilometers of the earth.
"It's really puzzling. What did people do at that time to turn a planet into such a horrible state? Did Tum turn a blind eye to it?" Tess said, standing far away from everyone.
In the captain's cabin, Mu Su and Joyce stood in front of the observation window. In addition to Chen Yuetai, Si Si, and Anthony, there were two senior members that Mu Su didn't know.
"If I talk too much, I will shed tears." Mu Su smacked his lips.
"Is it related to ofTum?" Joyce asked him with a sideways look and a smile.
Musu took off his shoes and pointed at him, as if they were not shoes but guns: "You know too much."
"Looking at the scene in front of me, I was wondering if the information in the movie and game were all fake, and the earth was not blue at all." Probably because he saw the cradle of mankind turning into this ghostly appearance, Anthony sighed and asked again.
Tess: "Is it possible for the Earth to return to the way it once was?"
"Except for the New Natural Religion, most capital groups and even the federation are unwilling to invest money into the bottomless pit of the earth. If you want to see the blue earth, you can only wait for the earth to adjust itself, which will take millions of years or even longer. By then we may have already
No longer exists.”
Tess answered quickly without pausing. Her words were very characteristic: she would lengthen a complex sentence and speak it at a very fast speed.
As for the purpose, I don't know, maybe geniuses are always a bit neurotic.
The engine had stalled a few hours ago, and the spacecraft relied on inertial force to approach the planet.
It has entered the Earth's gravity capture range and is expected to reach low-Earth orbit in twenty minutes.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this spacecraft happened to be approaching all the space stations on the other side of the earth. Today, there are only some small detection satellites belonging to various institutional consortiums or handicraft satellites of students - they are simply unable to
A small transport ship with a length of 100 meters was discovered.
Fifteen minutes later, the auxiliary engine was started, and the spacecraft entered low-Earth orbit 20,000 kilometers above the earth and then shut down, waiting for the upcoming landing opportunity.
A senior member left the captain's cabin and went to the cargo hold to check the equipment. Anthony also left temporarily. He needed to remind those members to collect all movable objects and put them away - the small transport ship will directly enter the atmosphere and land without making a transfer.
The vibrations at that time may be severe, and if those things are allowed to stay outside, they may cause some trouble.
A small landing ship is not suitable for landing on a planet with an atmosphere. It is only suitable for parking on a solar ring with an artificial black hole as a gravitational force and a thin atmosphere.
But it's just inappropriate rather than impossible. It can still be used as a landing ship, but damage is inevitable. The friction when entering the atmosphere will increase the serious fatigue and wear of the hull. In other words, it is longer than other ships of the same type.
Maintenance in advance.
However, a small transport ship only has less than 400 million credits, which is like scratching an itch for the Everlasting Life Society, which is full of rich second-generation people.
The auxiliary HUD appears in front of the huge observation window, with more than a dozen columns of numerical symbols appearing in the four corners. It records numerous data including energy surplus, altitude, space temperature, and radiation.
Anthony and the senior member returned two minutes later.
Five minutes later, Joyce gave the landing order.
[The ship is passing through the Van Allen radiation belt, passengers are asked to stay away from the port windows. If you feel unwell during this period, please come to the medical room for medical treatment. The ship is passing through the Van Allen radiation, passengers are asked to stay away——]
The spacecraft broadcast is playing in a loop.
The auxiliary engine was started, and the spacecraft began to slowly and steadily approach the terminally ill Earth.
They were clearly heading towards the earth, but they could still stand firmly on the ground. This sense of spatial confusion made Mu Su and a senior member feel a little uncomfortable and looked away.
[The spacecraft is about to enter the 3,000-kilometer atmosphere, and friction will cause the hull to vibrate. Members, please sit still.] Seven minutes later, a new system broadcast appeared. The slight difference was that this was a manual broadcast rather than a system prompt.
Ten seconds later, a slight vibration came from under my feet. It felt like the vibration caused by a road roller passing by.
The observation window is covered with metal protection to avoid wear and tear when entering the atmosphere. However, the internal real-time picture is turned on, which is no different from before.
There is no scenery on the picture, and the surroundings are filled with yellow fog that cannot be dispersed. No matter in the exosphere or the thermosphere, it is still the same even after entering the stratosphere. It is impossible to distinguish the front, rear, left, and right.
With the engine stable, the vibrations were not severe. There was no sight of the ship's bow burning red due to friction. Ten minutes later, the altitude of the HUD in the lower left corner had reached 15 kilometers and entered the stratosphere.
The silence in the captain's cabin and the scenery outside made the atmosphere dull.
[The spacecraft is scheduled to land at 27° north latitude, the original address is: Florida, United States of America]
The sound of the broadcast broke the silence, and the subtle tremors gradually calmed down. The spacecraft successfully passed through the stratosphere. It changed its posture and turned to a parallel landing, approaching the ground.
After a few minutes, the spacecraft stayed at an altitude of 50 meters above the ground. It was not suitable for continued landing.
"Please, Mr. Musu."
The captain's room was filled with the footsteps and voices of members walking back and forth as they prepared for landing.
"Do I want to do it too?" Mu Su's dead fish eyes earned the most in history.
Joyce said with a smile: "After all, we kidnapped you, not invited you here, right?"
Mu Su's face darkened: "I get angry when I talk about this. Why can't you entrust me to pay the fee? You have to rely on brute force to move. I look down on you kidnapping and robbery people the most. You have no technical skills at all."
"Will you come to pay for the entrustment?" Joyce's expression remained the same, speaking softly as if talking to an old friend.
"Of course not!" Mu Su said confidently.
A very standard Musu logical answer.
"Then please, you don't need to be nervous, I will go down with you too."
Mu Su's resistance was useless. He followed the backbone of the Eternal Life Society to the cargo hold, received protective clothing, and then got into the all-terrain vehicle.
There are 5 vehicles, which can accommodate 8 people. This means that 40 people will follow them into the base.
In addition to Tess and a senior member, Joyce, Chenyue, Anthony, others, and Mu Su are all going down.
Five vehicles landed from the cabin one after another. Before starting, the scanner terrain map from the spacecraft was transmitted to each vehicle.
They are located on a plain with a slight slope. The terrain two hundred meters away to the west is very characteristic. It has sharp edges and corners and is orderly.
