The five hundred and fortieth chapters become one

The repair of the shuttle took two people a lot of energy. In order to obtain some maintenance materials, Su Jing had to retrieve some reactor fuel from the engine room of the spacecraft. This time he was lucky. I don’t know if it was because the part of the engine had high radiation intensity and there were no mutated corpses here. He just spent some time searching for a while in the cabin that looked like a maze before obtaining the maintenance materials of the spacecraft.

When he returned to the flight deck, he saw the girl dismantling the control interface of the shuttle directly, revealing the internal integrated circuits and various complex circuits. She pulled a few data cables from her prosthesis and connected them to the port. After debugging for a while, she opened the shuttle operation interface with the built-in processor of her prosthesis.

"The original built-in battery is rotten, but now it's actually my prosthesis that powers the shuttle system."

Completed this work and made the girl feel very happy. She still had time to explain the maintenance progress to him.

"Can you fly?" He was very concerned about the results of the repair.

"Yes. But these fuels may only be enough for us to go back and forth once, and if we calculate it roughly, the girl checked the operating interface. "The automatic navigation system can still be used. The flight of outer space should be fine, but deep into the planet's atmosphere may... still be related to the planet's environment. Have you found the atmospheric components of this planet?"

"The average temperature on the planet's surface is about 280 Kelvin, and the atmospheric composition is 53% oxygen and 40% nitrogen." He replied, "This figure is an estimate in a report that calculates the planet's environment after the planet's climate is successful. It has to be said that the oxygen content is almost twice as high as we are used to, and it is likely to cause mild intoxication or similar situations."

"I really wish their climate improvement plan failed. I mean. Look at what kind of disgusting things they made."

He agrees with her.

The engineers' work is not as exciting as shooting mutant corpses rushing up in a dark scrap ship with laser guns, but relatively safer. The only enemy they have to fight against is their physical conditions. As time goes by, thirst and hunger come with shadows. The two use small homemade boilers of scrap steel to condense the collected water for drinking. The food did find some vacuum-packed cans and biscuits, but they will not die if they don't eat. Neither of them is willing to take the risk of trying these antiques from two hundred years ago.

"Your skills are good, I'm really curious about what we did before." The girl said with two screws in her mouth. She spit out a nail, knocked directly into the bulkhead with the pneumatic nail beater on the prosthesis, and then spit out the next one.

"I guess it shouldn't be a charity cause. The self-test program is started."

He connected a small display with a connecting cable. As the hatch door closed, the shuttle began to operate again. The indicator lights in the cabin were lit one by one, and then the self-test program began to operate. As the air-tight doors began to integrate with each other, the air pressure on the inside began to be pressurized. After two minutes, with the green passing signal, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Basic airtightness is guaranteed, fuel storage...through."

“Where is the insulation?”

"I made two layers with a special insulation structure. I repaired the damaged area."

After the last check, the two of them suddenly became speechless. It was time to test the results of the work on the spot. If something went wrong, then suffocation would be the best outcome.

"I went to the flight control center on the deck to preset the departure procedure," he said.

"No need. I did a remote control." The girl waved her arm, "avoiding some special situations."

After a moment of silence, he pressed the start button of the engine. The fuel pool began to warm up. The small reactor started to operate at the back end of the shuttle and it did not explode in the first ten seconds. This was a good sign.

He buckled himself in the seat with a seat belt, and there were two operating systems at the front of the shuttle. The girl sat in the main driver's seat on the right, skillfully fine-tuning the vector ejector of the aircraft.

"Prepare, enter the air chamber in ten seconds."

The shuttle slowly slid into another complete air pressure chamber, and the gate fell. After a brief stop, the external hatch opened. The sudden drop in air pressure did not cause any harm to the small shuttle. He let out a breath quietly. The girl held the operating rod and pushed the spacecraft out of the Wasp and entered the universe.

The field of vision suddenly opened up, and the two of them couldn't help but be attracted by the huge planet below the field of vision.

The colorful "Faetong" planet slowly rotated under the feet of the two. They saw the light yellow land and the deep blue ocean under their feet. The proportion of the ocean on this planet seemed to be different from that of the earth, and roughly estimated that it was more than 60%.

"There is an ocean..."

"That means, there is probably life... maybe very primitive life."

“Danger and supply.”

He admitted.

“…But, it’s so beautiful.”

In the silence, the two relaxed for the first time, laying in their seats admiring the bright stars in the dark black curtain. The planet slowly grew bigger, and they threw the dead and silent Wasp behind their heads and flew towards this new world. The girl had set up an automatic navigation program, and the shuttle passed through the atmosphere without any haste and flew towards the northwest corner of the planet.

"Have you considered one thing?"

"What?"

He leaned his arm behind his head and slowly exhaled his question: "What if we can't recover our memory again?"

The brunette girl didn't speak for a while, and the two of them were silent.

"have no idea."

She said.

If we can never reply to our memories, how can we survive? Several scenes floated in his mind. Can she and I find a complete spaceship and then find our way back to Earth? If not, maybe we must spend the rest of our lives on this planet.

Will we fall in love?

Will her and I reproduce here and plant the spark of new civilizations?

Those beautiful memory fragments flashed by again.

His random thoughts gradually deviated from reality, which was just an unrealistic fantasy, and he knew this. But in this case, free release of his head for a while may be the best way to release stress.

He turned his eyes secretly, but found that she was also staring at his face. The two of them were about to close their sights, and at the same time they turned their faces aside. He developed a hint of jealousy towards his former self, but he quickly realized his ridiculousness.

The damage alarm came from the insulation layer, and the two of them breathed silently almost at the same time.

A few minutes later, the shuttle almost smashed into the shutdown port.

The Falhe planetary base covers an area of ​​about 200,000 square meters. Considering the cargo capacity of Storm and Wasp, this is a pretty amazing number. He estimated that the construction of this base may have minerals using planetary surfaces.

The two jumped off the shuttle and took the fire extinguisher to the stern of the spaceship without even observing the surrounding environment. During the rapid descent of the atmosphere, the high temperature caused by friction ignited the tail of the shuttle. After the two put out the fire, they found that the thruster of the spaceship had some minor faults in the high temperature.

"It's not that there is a problem with the high-temperature resistant alloy of the thruster, but the bracket... can be repaired, but it takes time." After patiently checking, the girl made such a reassuring speech, and the two of them had time to look around.

The Planetary Base of Faetong is built in a piece of yellow sand. A small half of this shutdown port has been buried in the sand. The huge wind is constantly moving the dunes here, and the continuous base building has become the best mainstay for the accumulation of sand and dust.

"Did you see the Storm?"

The two of them were standing on the back of the shuttle just now, but as soon as they turned out from behind the shuttle, they were immediately filled with sand. In this case, it was difficult to see things twenty meters away, and even if there was a mountain in front of them, they could not see it, let alone the Storm.

"To be good, at least those plants are not living here!"

He covered his face with his arms and tried his best to look at the direction where the Storm signal came, where only a hill of yellow sand was seen.

"The good news is that the Storm may be intact, and we didn't find its wreckage. The bad news is that it may be buried under a sand dune more than ten meters deep."

Faced with this situation, both of them had no idea for a moment, so they had to enter the base first to avoid the storm.

It took two people a lot of time to pull out a door from the sand. The girl directly smashed the door with her prosthetic limbs. The two rushed in in a dusty state. The inside of the building was dark, so they had to turn on the lighting flashlight again.

Compared to the erosion of the wasp by alien plants, the inside of the planetary base looks even more chaotic. There are traces of human battles everywhere. The two saw a mummy nailed to the wall, and some black words on the wall looked like signs and handwritings were inverted.

"...I think mutant plants or corpse variants may not use assault rifles."

He approached the mummy on the wall, wearing a decayed military uniform. The fatal injury was a bullet hole in the head. It can be seen that this guy was shot to death.

"Weapon preparation."

"Do you think that those things can survive in two hundred years?" Having said that, the girl also pulled out a pistol.

"The symbols on the wall are quite interesting, and there is a sentence that recurs here."

After careful identification, he finally identified a sentence in the vague writing. He didn't know that this was the purpose of the "Unified Church" of the most powerful human force in this world. When this sentence was written on the wall, "Unified Church" was still a budding small sect.
