Chapter 23 Why not capture a native?

On the planet Gaia, sparse trees and shrubs gather into clusters of woods, and delicate grass covers the remaining soil. The forests and open spaces are intertwined and blended.

The lush plain landscape, the sky is clear and cloudless, and the shuttle is stationary above in camouflage.

From a distance, it looks like there is nothing, not even a trace.

"Sir Pace, the shuttle has arrived at its scheduled location."

Elsa, who was wearing a bulky space suit, slowly and carefully operated the spacecraft and reported to the center of the main control room.

"Calibrate the landing position and execute the automatic landing process."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the team members performed their duties and took action.

Ripples gradually formed in the green sky, and the altitude of the shuttle continued to decrease. The surging air was forced downward and flowed upward through the hull under the action of inertia.

Technological artifacts of tens of meters have landed in this ecological community, and the air nearby is vibrating imperceptibly, warning those animals to flee.

In an instant, the herbaceous plants bowed and buckled, and the flowers scratched by the tail flames were scorched black and carbonized.

Alien visitors are coming!

None of the native creatures noticed...

A hatch was suddenly lowered on the empty grass. The interior of the spacecraft was tightly closed. No more details could be seen. Only the shadow of the slowly approaching creature showed its sharp corners...

The shadow carried the power of an alien star, and was made huge by the lights behind it. However, the daytime scene made the shadow very illusory.

This land has a lot of guests.

There are hundreds of millions of the same race on the home planet, with footprints all over the place. Omnivorous creatures, with [high reproductive capacity] and [frail bodies], they are clearly disguised as cute white fur, but they frequently come in and out of biological laboratories, even with all kinds of cruelty.

Experiments will only be viewed as merit…

Now, just take a small step forward, and Gudu civilization will cheer for it.

They seemed to be hesitant about the unfamiliar environment, looking around and observing their surroundings.

Snap!

The round eyes on the side of the spacecraft stared at the cheese falling from the sky.

The being in the shadow no longer hesitated, running and jumping onto the lawn, completely exposing itself to the green sun.

Those were three…little white mice!

White hair! Animal ears! Red pupils! There is a tail on the buttocks! Bare feet!

Snap!

Another sound.

The leader of the mice, wearing a pink bow on his head, nibbled on the cheese first and fell to the ground.

When the two trailing mice saw this, they leaned over and stared at each other in one fell swoop.

Inside the spaceship.

When Aisha saw this scene, she squeezed her eyes and widened her eyes, and a watery light flashed across her face.

His eyes were very aggrieved, as if he was condemning something alone.

"Ouch! Christina! My Christina!"

"Master Pace, the air is poisonous!"

"Don't make trouble." Pace took off his space suit and shook his long brown hair, and answered matter-of-factly. "It's about the cheese."

Elsa had a look of disbelief on her face and changed her words to cry again.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Master Pace, the food is poisonous!"

Pace's hair was covered with black lines, and the drama in front of her almost touched her skirt.

You still don’t know if there is poison in the rice?

You are the most active person when it comes to throwing mice and cheese. This Christina, whose life is unknown, has found you as its owner, and she has been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

"Go back to your position and monitor the physiological characteristics of the mice."

"Oh..." Aisha squeezed the little hand that was knocked off, and her expression suddenly turned serious.

Of course she knew that the mouse was poisoned by her, but that didn't stop her from using the tool mouse to liven up the atmosphere.

In this mission, the comatose mouse is the good mouse and serves as a poison tester.

With the help of 'poisonous' cheese, their metabolism will be accelerated rapidly, and their first task is to taste the air.

In the follow-up step, we have to eat grass, chew trees, drink water, and finally eat soil, continuously contacting the atmosphere, bacteria, and viruses here.

Dispose of the body as appropriate depending on the cause of death.

Of course...it's best if it doesn't die and can be recycled.

Time passes bit by bit.

The sleepy mouse next to the cheese twitched its claws from time to time, as if it was running away from the mysterious terror.

His limbs suddenly slid wildly, he turned over and jumped up, obviously he was awakened by the dream.

"Master Pace, wake up Christina." Elsa pointed excitedly at the white mouse on the screen. "How energetic, you feel full of energy when you wake up!"

Pace looked at the data, did not reply, lowered his head and continued to analyze the information of other machines.

They will not just wait for the mice. During this period, other team members are constantly dispatching control machines to collect samples. The mice are just a link.

Environmental assessment determines their course of action.

Facing the new alien environment, some people say that some "harmless" alien bacteria are biochemical weapons capable of destroying the world, while others say that the two ecosystems are incompatible and there is no way they will have any impact.

"Like, this is so similar." Pace carefully compared the environmental analysis report. It was very similar to the environment of the home planet, as if they were just different continents on the same planet.

"Even a few iconic bacteria can be found, as if they have the same origin."

Holding up two ecological comparisons of different planets, it is very distressing to look at them from left to right.

Elsa behind her noticed Pace's muttering and jumped forward to take over the conversation.

"That's great. When Christina comes here, it feels like going home."

"And didn't Master Gudu say that our planet and this one under our feet belong to the planet Gaia, an artificial paradise!"

"Artificial paradise..."

After hearing this, Pace fell silent and thought quietly.

In the speculation of the Gudu civilization, there is no doubt that the environment of the home planet has been transformed by the pioneer civilization.

It has not only been transformed and maintained by a pioneer civilization, but the situation of the isolated star cluster being in conjunction with the Milky Way is also man-made.

The answers to these can be obtained indirectly from the stone tablets.

If the planet Gaia is the legacy of the pioneers...

When they transformed the planet's landscape, they changed it all into one style... very reasonable. Coupled with the existence of the artificial ecosystem's self-repairing structure, the ecosystem is extremely stable.

So in theory, they can land on the Gaia planet in the isolated star cluster at will.

"Elsa."

"exist!"

"Send the mice for follow-up experiments to accelerate metabolism for follow-up observation. Remember to wear your space suit."

Considering the possible problems, Pace asked Aisha to isolate herself.

"Yes!" Elsa happily took the order, got into her space suit again and ran outside loudly. "Woohoo! Let's go out to play, the fresh air, the fragrance of the earth..."

The long sound of joy made his companions look over with envy.

The open green plains and the space where you can run freely are not like the steel coffins sailing in the universe.

It is not the environment that is bound, but the psychology. Once you realize that you are in a closed environment from which you cannot escape, your heart will be locked.

Aware of everyone's gaze, how could Pace not know what other people were thinking.

"Calm down and wait for the last moment. We must eliminate risks as much as possible."

Fang Yan, the sociologist closest to her, withdrew his gaze, pushed up his glasses and responded.

"Don't worry, Captain, everyone understands the truth. Just like the rain comes after a long drought, the emotion of expectation is normal."

"It's more meaningful for us to think about it. If I remember correctly, this operation is to observe and record the indigenous people, right?"

"That's right." Pace looked at the team members who were listening to the conversation and nodded lightly. "If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward."

Fang Yan licked his lower lip and smiled softly: "Then analyze their language and see if it can make the work go more smoothly."

"It is indeed true, but the time is too short and the manpower is small, so it is impossible." Pace was stunned for a moment, shook his head and answered.

They only have one month, and they still need to explore the planet's geography, outer space overview, weather analysis... and even the energy indicators of open-pit mines.

The workload on a habitable planet is much greater than that on a barren planet. Even if you play 007 continuously, it would be good if you can understand their language and logic in a flash of inspiration.

Hearing the answer, Fang Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he seemed to be smiling. "Why don't you catch a native? Just in time, I have an idea."
