Jiang Cheng was now almost exhausted. Not only did he have difficulty continuing his mission, even standing was difficult for him.
No need to wait for me, you guys can prepare for the drilling first, I'll just take a rest for a while.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and let his astronauts take action first.
Our time is very tight, and phoenixes may pass by here at any time, so we must seize every moment, just let me rest here for a while.
They don't have any extra time to waste, as a gust of wind may come at any time and make their entire operation fail.
So Jiang Cheng finally decided not to take a rest before taking any action. Anyway, his body's recovery ability was amazing, and he would be able to return to normal in just a short while.
By the time the others were ready to drill, Jiang Cheng had almost recovered.
Jiang Cheng just stood there and began to recover the strength he had just lost.
The others started to get busy, preparing to do some drilling work here.
They have to go through ice several hundred meters thick before they can finally reach the location of the Alpha node.
This is the most difficult part of the entire mission. How to penetrate the entire ice layer as quickly as possible is the biggest difficulty of this mission.
As long as they can reach the location of the Tongerfa products, the subsequent transportation tasks will be much easier.
Lifting something weighing several tons from hundreds of meters underground may seem like an extremely difficult task, but it is very easy for Jiang Cheng and his team.
At that time, Jiang Cheng will move the landing position and take off directly above the drill hole.
The landing capsule will then extend a rope and directly lift the Alpha knot into the landing capsule.
After obtaining the Alpha node, Jiang Cheng and his team can leave the planet directly from the air and fly towards the Pioneer without even having to land again.
This action plan was planned by Jiang Cheng long ago and can save the time of the entire operation to the maximum extent.
Basically, Jiang Cheng and his team's main time was spent penetrating the ice well and going down to fix the Alpha knot.
The other work doesn’t take much time at all, so the focus of this operation is on the meeting.
As long as Jiang Cheng and his team can drill faster, they can complete all the work and leave this damn place before the wind arrives here.
Now Jiang Cheng is working hard to recover his physical strength, and strives to restore it to a better state before the drilling work officially begins.
The other astronauts are now sorting out the equipment on the ground.
They opened all the equipment and carried out some debugging work.
The three astronauts are making final preparations; the action will begin in just a few minutes.
The several astronauts following Jiang Cheng now were all specially selected to carry out this mission.
They are all the best astronauts. Whether in terms of physical fitness, experience or skills, they are all the best among astronauts.
Jiang Cheng had to have a few capable assistants for this mission, otherwise he couldn't complete such a difficult task alone. So Jiang Cheng selected the best performers from all his astronauts and accompanied them to complete this difficult mission.
Only the strongest astronauts like them can keep up with Jiang Cheng's pace.
If those rookie astronauts came, it would be good enough if Jiang Cheng didn't have to take care of them, let alone help Jiang Cheng during the operation.
Jiang Cheng watched the three astronauts making preparations while trying hard to recover his strength.
After observing the performance of these astronauts for a while, he nodded silently for them in his heart.
The three astronauts are now performing very well, at least he didn't see any mistakes.
Even in such an extreme environment as Neptune, he did not show any panic.
From the beginning till now they have been very calm and collected, not at all like it was their first time here.
Jiang Cheng was able to ignore the environment here and behaved no differently than usual.
That was because in his previous life, he often came to planets with extreme environments like this to conduct research, so he had long been accustomed to such environments.
These astronauts have never been to such a place before, so their performance is really amazing.
If this was Jiang Cheng's first time at a place like this, his performance might not be as good as these astronauts.
It now seems that elite astronauts are truly professionals who can always adapt to all environments and complete various space missions well.
That's why they were able to escape from the space shuttle among so many astronauts.
Soon the three astronauts completed all the preparations. Now all the equipment has been debugged and can carry out the drilling mission at any time.
After resting for a few minutes, although Jiang Cheng's strength had not yet fully recovered, he had no problem dealing with the next task.
"Let's take action. The future of mankind depends on us.
Before taking action, Jiang Cheng loudly encouraged everyone.
What he just said is indeed correct. The future of mankind depends on whether this operation can be successful.
If the mining operation is successful, Jiang Cheng will have several tons of Alpha products.
These Tongerfa products are enough for Jiang Cheng to build a large mecha star, so that even if humans face other cosmic civilizations, they will have enough confidence to communicate with them.
The universe is full of conflicts and fights. Without a mecha army, Jiang Cheng really has no confidence in leading humans out of the solar system.
It is always tragic to be without strength. Only when people are strong enough will they not be afraid of challenges from other civilizations.
Jiang Cheng quickly took action and began to operate the drilling equipment that had been set up in front of him. When the equipment was started by Jiang Cheng, it began to make a loud noise.
Then the drill bit began to rotate rapidly and slowly moved towards the ice layer. Jiang Cheng tried hard to control the drilling equipment and drilled towards the location of the Alpha product.
They had to drill a hole large enough for a person to pass through before they could secure the rope to the Alpha Knot.
Only in this way can the landing be able to lift the Erfa products from under the ice layer hundreds of meters deep and load them into the landing.
So the entire drilling phase is the most difficult part of the entire operation.
It is not an easy task to drill a hole that can accommodate them and that is several hundred meters deep.
I saw the huge drill bit spinning rapidly and starting to drill holes close to the ice.
When the drill bit touched the ice layer, a large amount of ice debris began to fly around.
Countless ice chips flew onto Jiang Cheng's face. If it weren't for the protection of the space suit, Jiang Cheng would have been disfigured.
