Volume II: Chapter 40: The Shadow

Jones said helplessly, "How do I feel like we've taken on a terrible assignment." ”

"It's not bad, it's very bad, and the most important thing is that it has to be done." Aina said with rare approval.

Chitaki listened quietly and did not express an opinion.

Aina hesitated and said, "Chitaki, how about you command this exploration mission?" ”

Chitaki was also surprised when he heard Aina's words, in fact, he was actually very uneasy now, because this time he was really alone, and Phantom had no way to provide him with any help, he was trying his best to keep his mind calm, and when he heard Aina's words, Chitaki didn't know how to answer.

Jones agreed, "yes, how about having you in command this time?" ”

"I'm not sure I can do a good job." Chitaki said in silence for a few seconds.

"It's okay, we still believe in your abilities." Aina replied.

"That's good." Chitaki finally raised his head and said seriously.

At this time, the three of them drove the miners to board the Fat Fish, and the radio in the Fat Fish sounded, and Quark said with a smile.

"Hello everyone, I'm the vice-captain of the Fat Fish, Quark, and I'm glad that we are on a mission together, please all miners enter the designated position for fixation, the Fat Fish is about to take off."

Ten minutes later, the Fat Fish began to slowly levitate, and Chitaki could clearly feel a shaking.

"The flight passage in Area E is beginning to open."

"The buffer gate is open."

……

The Fat Fish began to break away from Hibony and fly towards the giant planet in the distance, flying for about two hours, and the announcement sounded.

"The Fat Fish is about to slow down in reverse and stall in the predetermined orbit, there will be a certain vibration, please pay attention to everyone."

Not long after he finished speaking, the entire Fat Fish shook violently.

Chitaki has a black line on his face, which means that the good must be shaken? So strongly?

But fortunately, the shaking lasted less than five minutes, and slowly began to weaken.

"The Fat Fish has successfully docked in the predetermined orbit, and all teams can complete their respective missions on their own."

Then a mission message appeared on Chitaki's screen,

"Mission content: L-105 giant planet, according to exploration, has abundant energy crystal resources, due to the extremely harsh environment of the giant planet, seriously disturbed, unable to obtain accurate detection data, need to conduct field surveys, all teams can choose their own area to explore, in addition to pay attention to safety, avoid the storm area."

Mission Requirements: L-105 Giant Planet to explore, the mission cycle is one month.

Chitaki looked at the mission message, it was really an open-ended mission, no wonder Aina was not sure at all.

"Let's go." Chitaki finished speaking, and the driving miner began to disengage from the bottom fixture.

Aina and Jones followed.

After flying out of the Fat Fish, Chitaki was shocked by the scene in front of him, a huge brown planet, full of brown spots of different sizes, very dense.

Chitaki felt a lot of headaches, and it seemed that the easiest login had become very difficult.

Chitaki controlled the miners to levitate in space, while Aina and Jones followed quietly behind them without the slightest intention of urging Chitaki.

Chitaki observed for about half an hour, the planet was forming countless brown spots every second, and it was irregular, at least in Chitaki's eyes, it was irregular, and where to make a forced landing became the most tangled problem, of course, facing this problem, not only Chitaki alone, but at least more than four-fifths of the team next to them also stopped to observe.

Chitaki finally decided to take some risks, under normal circumstances, he should choose an area without brown spots for a forced landing, but Chitaki really can't figure out the law of their generation, and under normal circumstances, it will become a complete face.

He chose two relatively close spots in the center of the empty area to make a forced landing, it stands to reason that there should be no new spots there, of course, it does not mean that there is no risk, for example, those two spots suddenly expand, then it is normal to be affected or even involved.

"Let's go!" Chitaki has always done things very simply, and after confirming the plan, he didn't hesitate.

Aina and Jones drove the mine right behind Chitaki.

"Hey, we look like we're rushing towards the spot." Jones exclaimed in the communication channel.

Aina said, "Shut up and keep up." ”

Chitaki piloted the mecha to enter the giant planet's atmosphere first, and the entire miner shook violently, and Chitaki constantly maintained the balance of the operating stick.

Soon, the speed of the mech's fall soared, and the system had begun to sound an alarm.

Jones said, "We can't accelerate anymore, this planet has a lot of gravity, and we won't have time to slow down when we turn back." ”

Chitaki looked at the parameters, "Maintain the current critical point." ”

"Huh? All right. ”

Chitaki calculated that in just fifteen minutes, they would be able to get out of the initial crisis.

At this time, Aina said seriously, "The cyclone on the left side of Chitaki seems to be increasing rapidly? Air pressure is also rising rapidly. ”

"No, we're so unlucky." Jones said speechlessly.

"Deviate to the right, correct the angle by 5 degrees, and do not deviate too much, otherwise it will over-offset into the storm coverage area on the right." Chitaki looked at the image presented by the scanner.

"Okay."

At this time, the sound of the entire communication channel began to appear murmuring, and the entire scanning screen began to appear snowflakes.

"It's a distraction! We are approaching the interference layer. Chitaki reacted immediately.

"How?" Aina asked.

"You're on my heel." Chitaki shouted.

"Okay."

Chitaki pulled the lever and began to adjust the angle, with Aina and Jones following closely behind.

In the command room of the Hiboni, Lan Li looked at the huge screen, and the screen showed that it was the pioneer exploration team that began to forcibly break into the giant planet.

The adjutant beside him spoke, "Lord Lanli, the exploration mission has just begun, and a total of one hundred and fifty experienced teams with a total of 450 people will be dispatched this time. By this time, more than half of the team was in the process of crash landing. ”

"What is the loss rate?"

"At present, the observable attrition rate is 5 percent, and it is all storms formed by sudden encounters when landing in a forced landing."

"I see." Lan Li said.

"This is Hibony's analysis of the giant planet." The adjutant then transmitted a document to Lan Li.

Lan Li clicked on the report, his expression moved slightly, and the analysis report clearly said that due to strong interference, Hiboni could not get any information about the inside of the giant planet, only the optical imaging equipment was not in the range of interference, but the surface images that could be captured were very few, but a very few images were still captured.

Then three images are presented, Lan Li can't help but sit upright, the three photos are the same area, and Che is captured dynamically, a huge shadow is moving.
