Five days later.

A disc-sized yellow planet appears in front of the ship.

The planet's atmosphere is like Saturn's dusk, but even more disgusting. The flowing atmosphere forms an uncomfortable pattern, full of abscesses and yellow pus.

The planet is terminally ill.

This is the Earth.

The Earth is already visible and is the size of a disk, meaning that the spacecraft has approached within 500,000 kilometers of the Earth.

"It's puzzling, what did the people of your time do to make a planet look like this, ofTum turned a blind eye to it?" Tess is far away from everyone and is very talking.

In the captain's room, Musu and Joyce stood in front of the observation window. In addition to Chen Yuetai and Anthony, there are also two senior members who Mu Su does not know.

"It's all tears." Mu Su smacked his lips.

"Something to do with ofTum, right?" Joyce asked him with a sideways look and a grin.

Mu Su took off his shoes and pointed at him, as if it was not a shoe but a gun: "You know too much. ”

"Looking at the scene in front of me, I wondered if everything in the movie game materials was fake, and the earth was not blue at all." Probably seeing the cradle of humanity become like this, Anthony sighed and asked Tess again: "Is it possible for the earth to return to what it once was?" ”

"Except for the Neo-Naturism, most capital groups, even the Federation, are reluctant to put money into the bottomless pit of the earth. The only way to see the blue Earth is to wait for the Earth to self-regulate for millions of years or more, at which point we may no longer exist. ”

Tess replied quickly without pause. Her words are very characteristic: she makes a sentence complex and long, and then speaks it at a very fast pace.

As for the purpose, I don't know, probably genius is always a little neurotic.

The engines had been stalled a few hours earlier, and the ship approached the planet by inertial force.

It has entered the gravitational capture range of the Earth and is expected to reach low-Earth orbit in twenty minutes.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the spacecraft happened to be approaching when all the space stations were on the other side of the Earth. Today, there are only small exploration satellites affiliated with various institutional consortia or satellites handicrafted by students – they simply cannot detect a small transport ship 100 meters long.

Fifteen minutes later, the auxiliary engines were activated, and the spacecraft entered a low-earth orbit 20,000 kilometers above the earth and then shut down, waiting for the upcoming landing opportunity.

A senior member of the crew leaves the captain's cabin and goes to the cargo hold to inspect the equipment. Anthony is also temporarily leaving, and he needs to remind the crew to put all movable objects away - the small transport ship will not do transit, it will go directly into the atmosphere and land.

The shaking can be very violent, and it can cause some trouble if you let those things stay outside.

Small landing ships are not very suitable for landing planets with atmospheres, they are only suitable for anchoring in the rings of the sun where there are artificial black holes as gravity and the atmosphere is thin.

It's just not appropriate, not no. It can still be barely used as a landing ship, but damage is inevitable. The friction of entering the atmosphere can exacerbate the severe fatigue and wear of the hull, which means that it needs to be maintained earlier than other ships of the same type.

However, a small transport ship is only less than 400 million credits, which is like an itch for the Eternal Society, which is all rich second generations.

The auxiliary HUD appears in front of a large observation window, and more than a dozen columns of numeric symbols appear in the four corners. It contains a wide range of data, including energy surplus, altitude, space temperature, and radiation.

Two minutes later, Anthony and the senior member returned.

Five minutes later, Joyce gave the order to land.

[The ship is passing through the Van Allen radiation belt, please stay away from the porthole.] If you feel unwell during this period, please come to the medical office. The ship is passing through the Van Allen radiation, please stay away from the passengers-]

The spaceship radio is playing on a loop.

The auxiliary engines were activated, and the ship began to slowly but steadily approach the terminally ill Earth.

Obviously, they are rushing headlong into the earth, but they can still stand on the ground with their feet on the ground. This sense of spatial confusion made Mu Su and a senior member feel slightly uncomfortable and looked away.

[The spacecraft is about to enter the atmosphere of 3,000 kilometers, and the hull will vibrate due to friction. Please sit tight. Seven minutes later, a new system broadcast appeared, with the slight difference that it was a manual broadcast instead of a system prompt.

After more than ten seconds, a slight vibration came from underfoot, and it felt like the vibration of a steamroller passing by.

The viewing window is protected with metal to prevent wear and tear when entering the atmosphere. However, the internal real-time screen is turned on, and it is no different from before.

There is no scenery on the screen, and the yellow fog that cannot be dispersed around is diffused. Both in the fugitive and thermal layers. Even after entering the stratosphere, it is still the same, and it is impossible to distinguish between front and back, left and right.

The vibrations are not violent under the stability of the engine. I didn't see the bow of the ship burning red from friction. Ten minutes later, the HUD in the lower left corner has reached an altitude of 15 kilometers and entered the stratosphere.

The silence of the captain's room combined with the view from outside made the atmosphere dreary.

[The spacecraft is scheduled to land at 27° north latitude, and the original location is: Florida, United States of America]

The sound of the radio broke the silence, and the subtle tremors gradually calmed down. The spacecraft successfully passed through the stratosphere. It changes its position and turns to a parallel landing, close to the ground.

After a few minutes, the spacecraft remained at an altitude of 50 meters above the ground. It is not suitable for continued landing.

"Please, Mr. Musu."

The captain's room was filled with the footsteps and conversations of the crew walking back and forth in preparation for the landing.

"I'm going down too?" Musu's dead fisheye earned the largest ever.

Joyce laughed and said, "After all, we kidnapped you, not invited, didn't we?" ”

Mu Su's face sank: "Speaking of this, I'm angry." Can't you ask me to come by paying the fee? You have to move by brute force. I look down on you kidnappers and robbers the most, and I don't have any technical content at all. ”

"Will you come to give you the commission fee?" Joyce's expression remained, and he spoke as softly as if he were talking to an old friend.

"Of course not!" Mu Su said it rightly.

Very standard Musu logical answer.

"Then please, you don't need to be nervous, I'll go down with you."

Mu Su's resistance was useless, and he followed the Immortal Society to the cargo hold, where he collected his hazmat suit and then slipped into the all-terrain vehicle.

There are 5 vehicles with a capacity of 8 people. This means that forty people will go down and follow into the base.

In addition to Tess and a senior member, Joyce, Chen Yue, Anthony, and the others and Mu Su all went down.

Five vehicle vehicles descended from the cabin, and before they could be activated, a topographic map of the spacecraft's scanner was transmitted to each vehicle.

They are located on a plain with a slight slope, and the terrain two hundred meters to the west is very characteristic. The edges and corners are well organized.

It was a small town — it used to be.
