"Xiao Lingyi, you are here." The colonel in the cockpit easily heard the sound of Ling Yi's footsteps coming in—steadier than ordinary people, but much lighter.

After saying hello, he continued to adjust the parameters of the cockpit, and muttered, "What's the matter? In the past, other teams had to be equipped with professional scientific expedition teams when they landed. Why didn't they match us this time?"

The colonel felt that he was being targeted, and he was very upset.

But the next moment he heard another person's footsteps, turned his head, Lin Si said lightly: "I heard... you want a scientific expedition team?"

"No, no, no, with Dr. Lin, who needs a scientific expedition team." The colonel waved his hands repeatedly.

The in-cabin broadcast started, and Sweena's voice came: "This is the Deep Space Command Office. This is Sweena. All staff are ready. Please confirm that the signal transmission system is normal."

The Colonel pressed OK.

On the side of the Voyager's hull, the landing door slowly opened, and then a take-off and landing slope of nearly a kilometer extended. More than a dozen silver-white shuttle-shaped spaceships slid down one by one, the nuclear-powered engines were turned on, and the tail emitted a blue light.

The engine was gradually pushed to the maximum, and the one in the lead left the take-off and landing slope first, flew smoothly into the light yellow atmosphere, and dragged out a silver-blue tail.

The rest of the spaceships also entered independent flight one by one. They first lined up in the air, and then spread out in all directions, flying to their respective pre-arranged areas.

These small spaceships have limited volume and materials, are not equipped with curvature engines, and cannot fly faster than light, let alone open subspace, but their flexibility far exceeds that of the Voyager itself, so they are only used to explore planets.

Exploring planets is often carried out for voyagers, because it needs to mine resources from various planets, but this time is different, it is a comprehensive survey of settled planets, which is much more cautious than pure mining of minerals.

The spaceship landed from the deep space and entered a level flight at high altitude. The crimson planet was continuously enlarged outside the porthole, and the arc-shaped horizon was displayed in front of their eyes.

The colonel blew a whistle: "After staying in space for so many years, I finally saw land."

"Spaceship One is in place."

"Number four is in place."

Messages from other spaceships confirming their position came one after another.

"Received," Sweena's voice sounded, "release the satellite."

The side hatches of the spacecraft opened, releasing a small satellite each.

With the diameter of this planet, nine satellites can completely cover it. They buzzed and started to work, transmitting the picture to the deep space command office in real time, where the signal was converted and sent to the farther voyagers. .

"Sit tight, it's about to descend." After releasing the satellite, the colonel excitedly manipulated the spaceship, feeling a strong sense of weightlessness—the small spaceship is not equipped with a gravity simulation system.

Lin Si fished up Ling Yi, who was leaning on the porthole and looking ahead, to prevent him from falling.

The crimson endless land gradually became clear.

The strong wind kicked up sand and dust, constantly shaping the planet's landscape. After the spacecraft landed, it passed quickly at low altitude. As far as the eye could see, the canyons were silent, ravines criss-crossed, and deep mountain folds could be seen everywhere.

Ling Yi opened his eyes wide and watched without blinking.

For him who had only seen mechanical walls as far back as he could remember, this was truly a magnificent sight—it is true that the vastness of the sea of stars is equally beautiful, but it is not as tangible as land after all.

The scenes in the area where the other spacecraft are located are also recorded by the camera and displayed on the light curtain. They are all like this, but the terrain is slightly different.

The colonel looked at those images and said doubtfully, "Doctor, I don't think so."

Lynch: "What's wrong?"

"There are only mountains, but there are sandstorms, and there is no sea, and you can't see water. Can people live in this?"

Ling Yi looked at the colonel proudly: "The dome of Lins can collect water."

"The vast majority of planets do not have liquid water." Lin Si typed something on the virtual keyboard, and said to the colonel, "The radiation of the stars here is very strong, and almost only the two poles have solid water."

The colonel scratched the back of his head: "Water still has a solid state?"

Lince: "Ice."

The colonel let out an "ah" and said, "Doctor, can't you explain it to me in easy-to-understand words for the first time?"

Lin Si pushed his glasses: "No, this is not in line with my habits."

—Lance's habit is very obvious, and anyone who has been in contact with it can see it.

Rigorous, precise, without a single error.

Colonel: "..."

Ling Yi was very happy to see the Colonel suffering from Lin Si like himself.

However, the little guy knows that as long as he rolls into Lin Si's arms and asks again, Lin Si's attitude will naturally become gentle, and he will explain in words he can understand. It's a pity that the colonel is too big, Lin Si must not like him and roll away into his arms.

— But there is a problem, I will grow taller sooner or later!

Ling Yi decided to eat less in the future.

On the other side, the colonel was still asking Lin Si: "We can't find a planet similar to the earth, do we have to settle in such a place?"

"Colonel, I suggest you think about it," Lin Si said, "If there is a better choice, would we still be here?"

"There are so many planets, there is no better one?"

"That's the truth, Colonel, the brain is a very important thing. I remember that I modified your neural response speed. Didn't this improve your intelligence a little?" Lin Si said coolly.

"I said—doctor, there is a sentence I have been wanting to say for a long time." The colonel said.

"explain."

"Have you been bewitched by something in the past few years?" The colonel asked seriously: "When I was serving on Earth, there was no entertainment in the army. I played interview videos all the time, and you spoke politely and beautifully in it. Why are you so polite and beautiful now? Why don't you just stop talking?"

"I'm very satisfied with my character." Lin Si was expressionless.

The colonel was very sad and sighed heavily.

When Ling Yi heard the colonel mentioning that Lin Si was on Earth, he immediately pricked up his ears, but unfortunately they didn't continue this topic.

"The environment here is really bad."

"Colonel, you should be thankful that we didn't find a second Earth, otherwise you should be on the front line to snipe alien creatures now."

"Just nuke them."

"The energy utilization rate of thermonuclear weapons is 7%. As long as the utilization rate of the weapons they have is 1% higher than ours, it is an overwhelming advantage." Lin Si slowly hit the colonel's desire to fight.

The colonel refused to continue discussing this topic with Lins: "Doctor, your thinking is very dangerous, it's too pessimistic."

Rings: "I'm optimistic."

Colonel: "..."

- It can't be good!

——It's because of how much he can't think about it that he talks to Lin Si!

He turned to Ling Yi: "Little Lingling, how did you endure Lin Si?"

Ling Yi rolled his eyes and smiled, but didn't speak.

Lin Si smiled.

The vast majority of places in the universe are dead silent. After all, the conditions for the existence of life are too harsh, and the probability of birth is extremely small. This barren planet has not shown the most worrying phenomenon—existence of extraterrestrial life.

Lin Si sent a message to Sweena: "You can log in."

The deep space command office issued a landing command, the navigation engine was turned off, and the spacecraft slowly slid to the ground. The team members put on protective equipment and prepared to land.

The colonel gave Ling Yi a set of equipment: "The doctor stays on board, and Ling Ling is with us."

Lin Sidao: "He doesn't need equipment for now."

The colonel felt that Lin Si was going to torment Ling Yi.

Sure enough, Lin Si walked towards the hatch: "Come with me."

Ling Yi followed.

The cabin door opened slowly, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the hot and oxygen-poor air rushed in suddenly, making the chest tight, and the respiratory tract seemed to be on fire.

Lin Si frowned slightly—the environment here is indeed very harsh.

Not only that, the planet's gravity is only 73% of the earth's gravity coefficient, and it will also have a certain impact on people.

The colonel had quick eyes and quick hands. Seeing that Lin Si's complexion was not good, he pressed a breathing mask on him.

—If this man is broken, he can't afford to pay.

Lin Si took a few mouthfuls of normal oxygen-containing gas, and after a while, he took off his breathing mask and asked Ling Yi, "Is it acceptable?"

Ling nodded a little: "It's a little uncomfortable, it's okay."

The team members put on protective equipment and breathing masks, and prepared to place various detection instruments on the surface of the planet to collect soil samples.

Lin Si said to Ling, "I put a surveillance film on you. When you really can't stand it, you can put on the equipment."

Ling glanced eagerly: "Yes."

—The little one can't wait to set foot on land.

Lin Si smiled and rubbed his hair: "Follow the Colonel."

Ling nodded, walked to the edge of the cabin door, looked at the ground below, jumped down, walked a few steps on the ground in surprise, turned around and waved to Lin Si, his eyes bright.

Saying goodbye to the little guy, after closing the hatch, Lin Si returned to the cockpit, and the light curtain in front of him displayed various parameters of Ling Yi's body at this time.

Exposure to thin oxygen, extremely dry air, and extremely high temperatures is a test of various functions—especially cardiopulmonary function.

Ordinary people have no way to survive in this environment, with the possible exception of Ling Yi.

To create a normal environment, the strength of the protective "dome" needs to be further increased, which is difficult to achieve technically and theoretically.

If the strength of the human body can be increased a bit, maybe only a little bit is needed, and then it can be extended to most people...

Lance looked at the constantly beating parameters on the light curtain.

—He still couldn't let go of the limitless plan.
