Chapter 12 Arrival Trivia
Whether it was the landing gear twisted into a pretzel shape, the bright fuselage that had been ground down by two or three centimeters, or the two deep gullies seventy to eighty meters long carved out when the aircraft landed, with the plowed soil rolling and splashing dozens of meters away, all these signs clearly stated one thing:
The situation was indeed not optimistic when Fang Senyan landed.
It should be known that the Wasp aircraft is not the kind of "noble" that requires a long runway to take off and land. In a simulated takeoff situation, it can even achieve successful vertical takeoff and landing on a slope of about 30 degrees. To put it more intuitively, even if one side of the landing gear accidentally presses into the ditch next to it during landing, as long as the depth does not exceed half a meter, everything is still ok.
The thrilling landing also made Fang Senyan wipe away a cold sweat. At this time, he could not help but deeply thank the young lieutenant who had guided him. Only in actual flight did he realize that several key parts of his Wasp aircraft had been additionally reinforced, and some procedures had been adjusted.
These reinforcements and adjustments seemed useless, and in fact, for an aircraft with a service life of more than five years, they were quite harmful, leading to a significant reduction in its service life. However, for a brand-new aircraft that only flies back and forth for a few million kilometers, it could greatly increase its sturdiness and avoid the probability of disintegration during flight.
At this time, the sky was gray, just like when it was about to rain but hadn't yet. Of course, the clearest things in the sky were still two light bands like ochre yellow belts across the sky, huge and magnificent. Spectacular. This is the unique meteorite belt spectacle on the Upsilon star, which exists eternally day and night.
And the gray sky was not going to rain at all. Fang Senyan knew from the information he had learned in advance that this was the most common weather on the Upsilon star.
He took a few deep breaths, only feeling a faint smell of sulfur and ammonia mixed in the air. Although it felt very strange, human adaptability is very strong. If you get used to not thinking about it, then you won't find anything strange. Of course, this was only because Fang Senyan's stamina value exceeded one hundred points. This kind of air was quite deadly even for contractors with a stamina of less than forty points.
Fang Senyan looked around and found that there were sparse woods nearby. However, the trees looked a bit similar from a distance, but they were quite different from those on Earth when viewed closely. The surface of their bark was jagged and cracked, dry and hard like stones, and their height rarely exceeded five or six meters. Each tree often had two or three trunks. The branches and leaves were not lush, and could only be described as malnourished.
On the other hand, the grass and shrubs on the ground were very lush. At least they would reach the knee position. This level of ground vegetation was really quite unfriendly to Fang Senyan, because this is a dangerous planet regarded as a hunting ground. Who knows what damned, small, deadly creatures would pounce directly in front of people through these grasses and shrubs?
After entering the Upsilon star, Fang Senyan and the others' communication with the outside world was cut off. According to the prior deduction and calculation, all team members entered the atmosphere along the same secant line. Therefore, when landing, there should be a greater than 99% chance of being distributed within this area that is thirty-three kilometers long and thirty-three kilometers wide.
And in this area, there is a very obvious landmark landscape, that is, the Mushroom Rock, which is more than one thousand five hundred meters high. And the average height of this area is more than one hundred and fifty meters above sea level, so as long as it is not extremely bad weather, it should be easy to find that place. Mushroom Rock is the pre-designated meeting area.

Obviously, the advantage of the huge sound made during the forced landing is that it will scare away some nearby creatures, and the disadvantage is that it may also attract creatures that have confidence in their own strength.
So Fang Senyan had to hurry up. He first opened the hatch and threw the three androids, folded like suits, out of the cabin, and then injected each of them with a shot of high-energy protein liquid.
This liquid quickly filled the dehydrated muscle gaps of the androids. Their eyes began to open, and then they stretched out their weak arms to take the water bottles next to them and drink a lot of water. Soon, the three androids stood up like sponges soaked in water. In the previous transportation state, the water content in their bodies was less than 15%, and all of it was supplied to the brain in a hibernation protection state. Now, after replenishing enough water, it is quite close to the 70% water content of humans, and looks no different from humans.
"Master, what do you need us to do?" The leading android No. 1 stood up and said respectfully.
Fang Senyan pointed to the cargo hold:
"Take out the instruments inside, and then find a way to hide our spaceship... Oh right, first bring me the portable reading instrument!"
"Yes, Master."
When Android No. 1 handed the portable reading instrument to Fang Senyan, Fang Senyan's eyes immediately widened with excitement! Because the screen on the reading instrument was faintly glowing with green light, which shows that the content of pi elements on this planet, according to external standards, is almost everywhere with barren mines, and it has the value of mining.
However, when Fang Senyan adjusted the concentration index standard upward, the faint green light disappeared, which shows that there are no medium-sized pi ore veins within ten kilometers nearby. This was within Fang Senyan's expectations. If better pi element mines were so easy to find, what would they need their group for?
Speaking of which, a large probe range is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that the increase in the detection radius, of course, is more conducive to finding ore veins.
But the bad thing is that this portable reading instrument is limited by its volume and cannot be further precisely positioned. Therefore, once it is found to be lit, it means that every piece of land within a ten-kilometer radius must be traversed to confirm the specific location of the ore vein... This workload is not small at all.
Fang Senyan let the three androids busy themselves. He was full of confidence in the work efficiency of these guys. It was simply a combination of Japanese obedience, American physique, German rigor, and Chinese creativity.
And Fang Senyan had to do more important things. He dug a pit in the ground, and the moist soil seemed to be able to squeeze out water. Then he began to put cultivation potions into it. This time, the four cultivation potions he put in were extracted from two strong German Shepherd dogs and two fat and furious wild boars weighing more than five hundred kilograms.
These two animals have the characteristics of both agility and strength, and their common point is that their sense of smell is incredibly sensitive. Yes, Fang Senyan felt that in such a dense forest, the nose is often more reliable than the eyes and ears.
Although the carbon-based creature detector Type III obtained in the last world could be put to good use at this time, this is not Earth, but the Predator's playground, the placement point of prey. It would be devastating to be overly superstitious about this thing and be attacked and killed by other silicon-based or sulfur-based creatures.
So Fang Senyan had to create his good helper in time, and let its sense of smell and his detector have double insurance, that is the best choice.
After the cultivation potion was buried, Fang Senyan reluctantly poured the milky white planting nutrient solution on it. The cost price of this thing is close to five hundred general points per gram! Although it has the effect of accelerating hatching, Fang Senyan would definitely let it hatch slowly if he didn't consider the dangerous environment.
As the nutrient solution penetrated into the soil, the surrounding plants also began to wither quickly, showing a huge black circle of at least ten square meters. Then, the soil in that huge black circle began to quickly become barren and dry, looking like the cracked scene after a dried-up riverbed was exposed to the sun.
Immediately afterwards, the black circle quickly arched up, forming a huge burial mound. When the burial mound was formed, a large number of root systems could be seen spreading out in all directions like tentacles. This is the process of collecting surrounding environmental data during cultivation, which can enable the hatched creatures to evolve in a targeted manner.
Then, a monster more than two and a half meters tall snorted like a pig, and crawled out of the soil. Probably because the wild boar was larger, so the characteristics of this monster pig were more obvious. It had a huge pig nose and face, and hard blue bristles like steel needles grew on the back of its head. The thick skin on the body surface naturally formed a natural armor, protecting the vital parts of the body. However, there seemed to be a temporarily condensed crystal between the eyebrows, adding a bit of mystery to the wild and crazy feeling.
As soon as this big guy appeared, he broke a tree next to him, and then made a simple staff in three or five strokes. It can be seen that although that thing looks a bit like a staff, with faint elemental fluctuations on it, its real function is probably still melee combat.
This is also the type that Fang Senyan hopes to appear: a large guy similar to a shaman, with auxiliary abilities, and is tough enough, and is good in close combat. This guy walked up to Fang Senyan, just like a small mountain, knelt down and kissed his shoes and instep, and then said:
"Master, what do you need me to do?"
Fang Senyan made this big guy kneel first, and then whistled:
"No. 1! What time is it now?"
Android No. 1 immediately replied:
"If you are asking about the local time of the Upsilon star, then it should be four o'clock in the afternoon."
