Volume 1 Chapter 16 Storm

Chitaki drove for three hours, and Aina's communication request came in.

Chitaki answered the communication request.

"What are you doing? You deviated from the work area." Aina asked immediately after the image appeared.

Chitaki also has a headache. How should he answer the other party?

"I feel like the weather is not right."

Chitaki finally chose to bite the bullet and replied. Aina did not reprimand Chitaki, but subconsciously called up the value on the scanner. It was indeed deviating from the normal range, but the scanner did not give a warning.

However, Aina frowned. She was very experienced and immediately called up the values ​​​​from an hour ago, with a somewhat hesitant expression.

"Don't deviate, find a bunker on the spot." After Aina gave the reply, she immediately closed the communication, and she began to try to connect to the Fat Fish.

It turned out that the communication was interrupted and could not be connected.

This situation is quite normal. I had expected this kind of thing before doing the homework, but it just makes me feel sick when I really need to use it.

Jones connected with Aina and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but the air pressure seems to be fluctuating a bit."

"Let me see, the deviation is indeed a bit large, but it is not within the warning range. What do you think? Have you contacted the Fat Fish? They should have a clearer view from above."

"Look for a bunker nearby and wait for a while. If nothing happens, take a rest in advance." Aina no longer hesitated in the next second.

"Okay, just do as you say."

After the discussion, Aina glanced at Chitaki's target, and saw that this guy was still deviating.

Aina didn't correct him, she only reminded him that since he insisted, she didn't have any obligations.

Chitaki was actually very surprised as to why the phantom position was so far away.

When he arrived at the designated coordinates, he was completely shocked. It was a huge deep crater, much like what was left after a meteorite impact.

A very good evacuation site. Due to the impact, the geology of this deep pit is very solid, which makes it safer to shelter.

Chitaki flew down, found a corner, and activated the fixture.

The huge miner mecha opens a gap from its abdomen and back, and a fixed frame extends out. The head of the fixed frame is a cone-shaped drill bit, which begins to drill into the surface of the solid ground. After drilling to a certain depth, the head begins to expand and fall around.

Hook claw.

"Fixed..."

"Fixed mode is activated."

Chitaki stretched his waist, and then the scanner began to sound a shrill alarm.

"Abnormal airflow found!"

Chitaki turned off the alarm sound directly with a few operations. Phantom's calculation was correct.

At this time, in the cab of the Fat Fish, Quark was sitting on the console, scratching his head. It was really a ghost. There was no response from the scanner, and the information channel was not accidentally interrupted.

"You have to be calm when doing things and have enough patience." The one who spoke was an old man with white hair and a captain's uniform. He was the captain of the Fat Fish.

The Fat Fish has a total of four captains, one captain and three deputy captains, and Quark is the youngest among them and is also the focus of training.

"I feel that the obstruction effect of the atmosphere seems to have become stronger. Could there be some severe weather pattern down there?" Quark asked.

"You're not saying there's no such possibility, it's just that what we need to do now is believe them." The old captain said calmly.

At this time, an image bounced in.

"Captain Demikan, how is the situation over there?"

The image that popped up was that of Cora, the captain of the Mushroom Giant Plunder, a middle-aged woman with flaxen hair, gray eyes, plump figure, and the smell of a mature woman.

When Quark saw that Cora was popping up, he quickly gave way, as if he was afraid of her.

Cora obviously saw Quark's reaction, but she had no time to care about him now because she was in big trouble.

"Lost contact, no information feedback for the time being. According to the scheduled plan, everything should be in progress."

"Three hours ago, the scanner detected abnormal climate fluctuations. I lost contact with the miners. Even the information contact with the escort group was interrupted. To be on the safe side, I launched the explorer, Gray Mushroom."

"What was the result?" Demiken asked.

"It's very bad. The gray mushroom lost contact not long after entering the atmosphere. The final feedback information was quite bad, and the storm was coming."

After hearing Cora's words, everyone fell silent instantly.

"Stop working?" Demikan asked.

"There is no way to stop the work, and we cannot stop the work. I have already submitted this matter to my superiors. The feedback I received is that I believe them and continue to work."

Demiken was lost in thought, "Wish them good luck."

Chitaki began to doubt that this was just a storm. According to Zai Huan's explanation, the cyclone was forming now and the storm had not really formed yet.

Even so, he had already felt the power before the storm came.

The giant miner was already shaking a bit at this time, and the system kept giving warnings.

The communication signal with Aina was interrupted not long ago.

"Open the optical imaging system." Chitaki entered the command.

Immediately, the influence of the outside world appeared, and Chitaki was also stunned. Looking at the end of the sky, sky-high storm winds were forming. Countless gravels were swept up, lightning flashed and thunder, and the whole world instantly dimmed, like the end of the world.

If the miners were sucked up, it would probably be a disaster.

"Is this kind of climate common?"

"Each star is in a different situation and has different disasters, but this is not uncommon. It's just a different level of power." Huan gave the answer.

Chitaki took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

The storm began to sweep in, and the miner's body began to shake violently.

Chitaki kept staring at the values ​​on the screen. It was terrible. The most direct sensory effects were shaking and a rapid drop in temperature.

"It is recommended to increase the power of the life support system." Huan gave a hint.

Chitaki couldn't help but shudder, it was really too cold, even someone with such good cold resistance could not bear it. He increased the power of the life support system, which was just a little better.

Various alarms are constantly given in the cockpit.

"External torso joints begin to freeze."

"There shouldn't be much moisture in the air here? How could it be frozen?" Chitaki also felt something was wrong.

"It was brought by the storm." Huan explained.

"Are we in the center of the storm?" Chitaki asked.

"No, I was just on the edge of the storm. According to calculations, the storm did not pass us head-on." Huan replied.

Chitaki started to worry about Aina and Jones, but they should be fine. Their two working directions seemed to be safer.

In addition, he suddenly understood why the Fat Fish did not follow immediately. It was for safety reasons.

Time passed little by little, and the storm was still raging.

Chitaki moved his wrist joints a little, but they were a little stiff.
