"It's hot, let's eat."
"Thank you." Yang Yi nodded gratefully after catching the rice ball handed by A Ling.
At the end of the day, let alone Yang Yi has not fully recovered, even if the body beaten by iron can not bear it. The work is not complicated. First, scan the waste products that need to be processed, most of which are abandoned spacecraft, and remove the expensive and rare materials, and then drive the air-cushion engineering vehicle to throw the waste products into the magma sea. The work intensity is not too great, and the high temperature is unbearable. Especially when driving an air-cushion engineering vehicle to the magma sea, even if the engineering vehicle has a high-power air conditioner, the temperature in the protective clothing is as high as 50 degrees Celsius. No matter how strong people are, they can only work for half an hour in such an extreme environment, and they must be hydrated in time, otherwise they will faint due to dehydration.
Yang Yi ran eight times and sent eight scrapped small cargo spacecraft into the magma sea. I went with A Ling for the first three times and worked alone for the last five times.
"In three days, you will be able to work alone tomorrow."
"I just said, I can learn it in one day." Yang Yi was a little proud. Although his ability in other areas is not very good, his learning ability is still very good.
"Okay, today's work is complete, let's go back."
Because of Yang Yi's help, the two of them changed their jobs and they stopped the car without stopping, so the work went smoothly, saving about an hour compared to Aling's work alone.
"Where did you find me?" After looking at Aling, Yang Yi stood up.
"A Yi, let the past things go, you have come here and everyone agrees..."
"I understand, I just want to go and take a look." Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "Just like you said, I need to make a break with the past."
A Ling sighed secretly and said, "Since you insist, I will take you over. I hope you can do what you say and don't carry the burden of thinking on your back."
Yang Yi nodded and agreed, then went to put on the protective clothing.
Half an hour later, the two drove their air-cushioned bicycles to the other end of the garbage disposal site and parked next to a small cargo spacecraft that was badly damaged.
This is an F-class cargo spacecraft with a standard payload of 10,000 tons and no space jump capability. It is suitable for regional routes connecting planets in the star system. This kind of spacecraft is very common, and the blessing capacity of the Human Federation is as high as millions of ships, and there are millions of ships in the home galaxy alone.
There are two characters on the bow of the spacecraft: Moose.
This is the name of the ship, a very common name.
"here?"
A Ling nodded, and led Yang Yi into the spacecraft.
Before, A Ling had told Yang Yi that when she went to receive supplies as usual, she found Yang Yi in the spaceship that delivered the supplies. The spacecraft that transports supplies comes once a month, but they do not land on the lava star. Instead, they put the supplies into a scrapped spacecraft and drop them on the lava star by air. There is a radio positioning device on the container where the supplies are placed, and Ah Ling and the others rely on the positioning signals to find the supplies.
The spacecraft was so big that the two of them walked for more than ten minutes before entering the crew cabin.
"It's here, that's a container for carrying supplies." A Ling pointed to an open incubator, and then to a chair next to it. "At the time, you were sitting there, wearing an E-level protective suit. When I found you, you were still in a coma."
Yang Yi didn't say much, and walked over to the chair.
The leather used to make the chair surface has been burned into powder, leaving only the metal skeleton. However, this should have happened after Aling came in. During the landing, the spacecraft was in a closed state, and the hot air outside could not enter. Otherwise, the Class E protective clothing would not be able to withstand the thousands of degrees Celsius caused by the friction between the spacecraft and the atmosphere during landing. The high temperature, even the shipping containers will burn down, and nothing will be left.
"The verdict is in the container, the same as before." A Ling said again.
Yang Yi glanced back at her, feeling heavy, not knowing what to say.
"Actually, the conditions of the people who were sent here are all the same. After I woke up, I found out that I had fallen into an unstoppable hell of fire..."
"You are different from me."
A Ling was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi with little understanding.
"Brother Li said, you are the only innocent among us." Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay, let's go back."
A Ling bit her lip and wanted to say something, but Yang Yi had already walked out of the cabin, so she hurried out.
Can you say that you are innocent
Looking at the red sky outside, Yang Yi thought this was a very absurd question.
Yang Yi was really scared when the "Hair Bun" was hit, so when Lin Jia knocked out Zhong Lili and asked him to take Zhong Lili to escape, he did not hesitate. Although he said to wait for Lin Jia to come over, he didn't do so. Instead, he got into the escape capsule before the spacecraft was destroyed. If he hadn't gotten into the escape pod because of fear at the time, and hadn't activated the escape ejection procedure, he wouldn't be in the current situation.
When A Ling held his right hand, Yang Yi came back to his senses.
"Hey!" Looking up at the sky as if it had been lit, Yang Yi couldn't help sighing. "A Ling, haven't you thought of leaving here?"
"A Yi..."
"I'm just asking casually." Yang Yi knew that Aling cared about him very much and was afraid of his random thoughts.
"I thought about it, but no one can leave here."
"Why?"
"Big Brother Li has stayed here for 35 years. He has never landed a spacecraft. Whether it is supplies or exiled soldiers, they are all dropped directly by air from scrap spacecraft."
"There are so many abandoned spaceships here, can't we piece together a spaceship that can fly out of the atmosphere?"
"Yes, but a key device is missing."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Primitive Energy Converter?"
Ling nodded and said, "The original energy converter will be removed before the spacecraft is scrapped. Not to mention a good original energy converter. Even the parts and components will not be scrapped together with the spacecraft. Without the original energy converter, even There is a spacecraft, and there is no way to leave the lava star."
"So, as long as there is a power converter, you can leave Lava Star?"
"It's not that simple." A Ling bit her lip and pointed towards the sky above her head. "There are three military satellites in the synchronous orbit, constantly monitoring the islands near the equator. In addition to assessing our work progress, these satellites are also monitoring us. There are also high-power laser cannons on the satellites. The spacecraft in the atmosphere of the lava star will immediately fire and shoot it down."
Yang Yi looked at A Ling incredulously.
"Before I arrived, Brother Li and the others used a scorching storm to send a spacecraft to the top of the atmosphere. It looked like it was about to fly out of the atmosphere. As a result, the spacecraft was hit by the satellite's high-energy laser cannon before it could fly out of the atmosphere. It burned into the lava sea."
So cruel! ? Yang Yi took a breath of air, and it was no joke to fall into the lava sea.
"Brother Li said, don't expect to leave here alive."
"Do you just live like this and endure the torment of life better than death?"
"We are a family, don’t you think that this place is not worse than outside? Although the environment is bad and the work is very hard, we care about each other, take care of each other, and rely on each other. Here, there is no fighting, no calculation, and no suspicion and guarding. . No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is, it’s just physical suffering and tiredness. I don’t know what you think. I don’t think it’s bad here. At least life has become a simple thing.
"Hope?"
A Ling exhaled and said, "Brother Li said that one day, we will leave here."
"after all?"
"We are all soldiers who have made mistakes. It is a time of peace, and naturally there is no value to use. As soon as the Sixth Greenwich War breaks out, the superior generals will think of us and discover our value, even if it is just going to the front to act as cannon fodder. At that time, we will be able to leave here, and even be able to regain our military status, and once again put on military uniforms and go to the battlefield to obtain our own honor."
Yang Yi was silent, this is the hope of A Ling.
"Don't worry, Brother Li said, the Sixth Greenwich War will break out soon, at least we are expected to leave here in our lifetime."
"Why does he say that, there is inside information?"
A Ling was taken aback for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Li has been here for 35 years, what can you tell me? The peaceful and prosperous age has been maintained for a thousand years, and the previous four peace periods have not been more than 500 years. The conflict between us and the Silicon Magic Alliance cannot be resolved at all. War is like a game that will never end. Peace is only the intermission. Peace and prosperity will eventually come to an end."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
"Let's go, it's late. If you go back late, the monkey and the handsome guy will definitely wipe out all the delicious food, and they will never leave us a star."
Yang Yi rubbed his shriveled belly and walked towards the air-cushion bike parked not far away.
The rice ball has been digested long ago, and there are only two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Without lunch, you can get the rice ball to satisfy your hunger by going to work.
Air-cushion bikes are flying motorcycles that can sit up to two people.
Although Yang Yi has not officially started work, Brother Li has prepared an air-cushion bike for him.
Riding on the air-cushioned bicycle, Yang Yi pulled down the goggles of the protective suit. The light on the lava star is very strong, and the light on the open area is so strong that you can't open your eyes. Even if the mask of the protective clothing is plated with a metal film, it is still unable to cut off the glare, so you have to wear goggles.
what is that!
Just when Yang Yi pulled down his protective goggles, a blue light pierced the sky came into his eyes.
Yang Yi immediately pushed away the goggles, but the blue light disappeared. Yang Yi was very puzzled, and pulled down his goggles again, and a blue light appeared.
How is this going
The light on the lava star is mainly red light, that is, the color of the lava sea, so the metal film on the goggles can only shield the visible light of this color.
It must be the case, the goggles cannot block blue light.
Is that a meteor or a spaceship
Judging from the trajectory of the light, it does look like a meteor, but does the meteor emit blue light when it falls into the atmosphere
Yang Yi didn't hesitate anymore and immediately started the air-cushion bike.
"A Yi, where are you going?"
"I'll take a look over there, you go back first."
"A Yi..."
When A Ling called out again, Yang Yi had already driven off the air-cushioned bicycle.
