Leo followed Talos's finger and based on the "rudimentary" terrain map, he could clearly see the situation near the pioneering point.
There is a large river nearby, and there are freshwater fish and other aquatic product resources in the river. This is the meat that can be caught on site, and it is also the freshwater resource on which we depend for survival.
Almost thirty kilometers away to the north is a stretch of mountains, and Naurux detected that it contains rich mineral resources.
There is snow on some peaks in the mountains, but the most important thing is the clear mountain spring water that gushes out from the cracks in the mountains and becomes the main source of water for the rivers.
About three kilometers downstream, due to terrain reasons, the river water converged into a large lake. The lake passed through a cliff and poured out the lake water, forming a new river and flowing directly eastward into the sea.
Except for the mountains on one side, the other three sides of the pioneering point are plains. There is enough wood and countless wild animals to cut down the wood. After driving away the wild animals, there is a fertile field that has been nurtured for countless years.
Such a suitable geographical location is suitable as the starting point for everything.
As expected of a planet that is completely undeveloped, such a perfect starting point can be easily found, and in fact, there is more than one similar location on the map!
After selecting the location, the cruiser quickly flew over the designated location.
Next, we need to consider destroying the virgin forest below, driving away the wild animals, and building a temporary camp of suitable size.
Leo did not express an opinion, but watched the performance of the Skrulls.
Drones flew out from the cruise ship under the mobilization of Norokes. The combat drones fired high-energy laser beams, interrupting the towering trees. The loud noise of the falling trees scared them away again.
Beasts hiding in the woods.
However, Leo watched patiently for two minutes and then shook his head slightly.
Although assisted by high-end equipment, the speed of land reclamation has not yet reached a leap-forward level.
The big tree is very thick and heavy. In order to prevent the drone from being damaged when the tree falls, the efficiency of drone cutting down the tree is not high, but it is still many times faster than a chainsaw.
What's more important is that the felled trees still need to be towed away, which requires the use of different equipment and a lot of effort.
At this moment here on Io, it looks like it is almost afternoon (the exact number of standard Earth hours in a day has not yet been accurately determined by instruments). It seems that they will never be able to clear a suitable area for a camp before dark today.
The open space comes.
But it doesn’t matter if the camp can be established quickly. According to Talos, they will still live on the cruise ship in the early stage, especially the young children, which are the most precious future. Talos will not let them go to AI.
Adventure on the European planet.
After all, when they circled Io just now, they had already seen a bunch of giant dinosaur-like creatures. Those terrifying creatures could easily trample or bite to death an adult Skrull, let alone a young child.
.
But the gratifying thing is that there is actually no difference between night and day for drones, so they can work non-stop all day long, thus doubling the construction period.
Not only Leo saw the predicament of the Skrulls in the early days of pioneering, Carol also felt the same way.
But unlike Leo, Carol is not ready to sit idly by. She wants to help: "I can actually help you turn the underground woods into open space faster, General Talos."
Talos would naturally not refuse help. Although he didn't know what Carol could do, he immediately thanked her profusely.
Carol acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately flew out of the cruiser and floated over the woods.
Leo, Talos and others stood in the cockpit and watched through the monitor what Carol was going to do.
Carol's eyes were slightly closed, and her body began to emit a hazy halo. The halo flickered, and she seemed to be adjusting the energy distribution on her body.
After almost ten seconds of this, Carol opened her eyes and rushed towards the ground.
Boom~
A huge roar sounded, accompanied by rising smoke and broken wood chips. The huge impact formed a torn whirlwind on the ground, swallowing up everything within a kilometer of Carol's body.
Crush.
Roar~
The huge beast screamed, then turned into a scream, and then became silent. However, the roar from further away was continuous, and it was obvious that the giant beasts were frightened.
After a long time, everything settled, and Leo finally saw the "new" ground clearly, and then he felt a little sluggish.
This...is the leapfrog development he imagined.
Carol only used Yun Danfengqing's charged attack to clear an open space.
It was a real open space, with a radius of one kilometer forming a standard circle. Within the circle, all materials, including stones, wood, and beasts, were all broken into powder and mixed with the soil underground.
And it seems to have been compacted.
There is truly no grass growing.
"How is it? My efficiency is pretty high, right?" Carol's voice came from the communicator,
"And I was controlling the power just now. I didn't destroy even a single blade of grass one kilometer away, and I've flattened the land within one kilometer. Do you need me to do more?"
Talos and Naurox opened their mouths in an O-shape and stared at the flat land below, not caring to listen to what Carol had to say.
Leo was still calmer. He had seen Carol's feat of casually blowing up a battleship. Leo wanted to say that he was not surprised at all by this... what the hell!
"Carol, come back quickly. I don't need your help to clear up wasteland. I think this place is big enough."
Leo quickly stopped Carol's enthusiasm. He was afraid that if Carol continued to open up wasteland, she would really turn the entire Io planet into a wasteland.
Talos also reacted at this time, and his Adam's apple moved unnaturally: "Ms. Carroll, this place is big enough, it's really big enough."
It seems that Talos has the same worries as Leo, and he is also secretly afraid: Back then... I was the enemy of this monster? Where did I get the courage?
"Oh." Carol retracted her eager hand and flew back to the cruiser.
Talos looked at Carol: "Thank you for your help, Miss Carol. Next, leave it to us Skrulls."
After having flat land (although the source was too unexpected), the Skrulls began their next plan.
A dozen women with working ability and more than twenty Skrull youths aged seventeen or eighteen descended from the cruise ship to the surface. At the same time, they also brought with them all kinds of strange things.
, an instrument that Leo couldn’t name.
These instruments seemed to be on those warships, but Leo hadn't had time to analyze them yet.
But then, Naurux began to demonstrate to Leo what these things were.
I saw him operating on an operation panel for a moment, then picked up a spray gun-like nozzle and started spraying it into the open space in front of him.
But what was sprayed out was not flames, but nanoparticles one by one.
Next, like magic, various power machines grew out of nothing.
There are quarrying trucks, logging trucks, and many other construction tools that are different from the common construction tools on earth. It is difficult for Leo to describe their functions clearly, or in other words, they are basically all-in-one equipment and tools.
"Okay, I take back what I just said." Leo murmured to himself in surprise, "The Skrulls' way of pioneering is really a leap-forward development."
