Chitaki took a deep breath. If he fell, he would probably be choked. He calmed down and continued to climb up. It is said that it is very difficult for bulky miners to climb this fault.
The entire fault was shaking more and more seriously at this time. Cracks began to appear on the surrounding rock walls, and more and more broken rocks fell off. But fortunately, good luck seemed to favor them, and the entire fault did not collapse in an instant.
The scope should probably end here.
Chitaki raised his mechanical left arm and pierced the rock wall hard with the chisel, preparing to climb up. At this time, Chitaki's pupils shrank sharply, and cracks began to appear where the chisel struck.
The cracks spread like a spider web, covering the area.
Then there was a loud bang, and the entire area began to landslide on a large scale.
The entire miner began to fall down along the sliding rock wall. At this time, two fixed ropes shot down from above. In an instant, Chitaki operated the miner to remove the mountain chisel and stretched out his hand to grab the two fixed ropes.
With a plop, the chisel fell into the hot magma and made a squeaking sound.
Standing on the fault, Aina's entire miner could not help but slide forward.
Jones rushed over at this time, reached out and grabbed Aina's miner's arm, and began to pull back.
Chitaki's miner, who was falling continuously, stabilized his figure. Chitaki controlled the miner's feet to step on the rock wall, readjusted his posture, and climbed up again.
A few minutes later, Chitaki also climbed up.
Aina and Jones couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and the shaking of the earth began to slowly slow down.
The three people who successfully climbed onto the fault looked into the distance. The road they came on had now turned into an endless red ocean.
Suddenly Jones said fearfully in the communication channel, "Hey, look what the hell is that?"
Chitaki and Aina couldn't help but look over, and the optical image began to adjust and expand.
In the boiling magma ocean, a huge black figure quickly passed through the red ocean, stretching for dozens of kilometers, making people's scalp numb.
Chitaki instinctively shouted, "Let's go!"
The three men drove the miner and ran away to escape the area.
People's habitual thinking is to subconsciously regard irresistible phenomena as natural disasters. If this is not a natural disaster? It is uncontrollable fear. The best way to face fear is to escape!
The three people driving the miner did not know how long they had been running forward. They only knew that the three of them were very exhausted, and the red ocean could not be seen behind them.
Chitaki said tiredly in the communication channel, "Let's take a rest here."
Jones and Ina replied, "Okay."
They originally thought that this was a dead world, and the dangers they had to face were just natural disasters. However, they discovered that there were unusual creatures living here. Chitaki actually still doesn’t understand how life was born here. Logically speaking,
It shouldn't exist, because there are simply no conditions suitable for nurturing life.
The communication channel fell into silence again, and none of the three people spoke, as if they were asleep.
After resting for about three hours, the operator Chitaki stood up and unloaded the exploration equipment again. He pierced the detection needle heavily into the ground and began to adjust the fixed frame.
Aina also drove the mecha over at this time and helped adjust the fixed frame.
Jones said tiredly in the communication channel, "Why don't you take a rest? Resources cannot be found in a short time."
Chitaki replied, "I know, I have already rested for a while."
Twenty minutes later, the fixed frame was set up. Chitaki turned on the switch of the detector, and the bottom detector needle began to rotate at high speed, penetrated the surface of the earth, and drilled into the interior.
After about forty minutes, the probe needle stopped rotating, and then a smaller needle extended out from inside the probe needle.
Chitaki continued to collect data with an expressionless face. He did not report any hope. In fact, this was just to find something to do for himself to distract his attention.
Analyzing, analyzing, Chitaki suddenly stopped and looked at the numerical values above in confusion.
Titanium content is 50%.
It felt so familiar. Chitaki rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly. He pondered for a few seconds and then asked in the communication channel.
"Is titanium stone a resource to be found?"
Jones, who was still sitting, immediately got up.
"Titanium stone? Are you sure?"
Chitaki began to share the analyzed data with the two of them. Aina glanced at the detection data and said.
"Jones, you go to the west, and I'll go to the east to explore the scope of this mining area."
"okay?"
"Aren't we here to find the energy crystal mine?" Chitaki asked subconsciously after hesitation.
Jones coughed in the channel and said, "Brother, we also need to eat. It would be good if we can find resources. Things like energy crystals are secondary. If the resources in this mining area are large enough, our exploration mission can be considered over.
.”
Aina said, "Work hard."
"Okay." Jones seemed to be resurrected.
The three of them have been busy for more than ten hours. After repeated explorations, it is basically confirmed that the reaction of titanium stone can be detected in an area of 50 kilometers with Qianlong as the center. It is basically certain that this is a large-scale
Mining area.
When night fell, the three of them gathered together again, and Aina spoke.
"Let's install the signal transmitter. This mission is completed. Although the energy crystal was not found, it can be considered a generous recovery."
Jones nodded and said, "I agree, leave this hellish place as soon as possible."
Chitaki fell silent at this time. When Aina and Jones saw that Chitaki didn't speak, they asked.
"Chitaki what's wrong with you?"
Chitaki said, "I want to discuss something with you."
"You said it." Jones replied with a smile.
"You guys install the signal transmitter here, I plan to explore other areas." Chitaki said seriously.
"Hey, Chitaki, you have to think clearly about how dangerous this place is, the ground is prone to violent storms, and we have completed the task well." Jones hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Jones." Aina interrupted Jones.
Jones couldn't help but shut up after hearing Aina's words, and Aina said to Chitaki seriously.
"Have you considered?"
"Think about it." Chitaki replied.
"Be careful on the road. You should also have a spare signal transmitter on you. If you find something and you don't have time to come back here to join us, just use that to notify the Shipney." Aina replied.
"Okay." Chitaki nodded.
After Chitaki finished speaking, the driver led the miner to leave. Jones couldn't help but said when he saw Chitaki leaving.
"Aina, are you crazy if you really let that kid investigate on his own?"
"Have you ever wondered why we didn't find resources along the way?" Aina said.
