Jiang Cheng controlled Ruo's drilling equipment and was looking forward to its next performance.
This drilling equipment just cost Jiang Cheng so much effort to get here from Linghuiyun.
Of course, this thing must perform well enough to be worthy of the sweat Jiang Cheng just put in.
Immediately the drilling equipment showed its performance, making Jiang Cheng feel that his efforts were not in vain.
A large hole immediately appeared on the ice, and the hole continued to extend downward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The drill bit disappeared from the ground and went under the ice.
The efficiency of this drilling was really terrifying. In the blink of an eye, it was drilled to a depth of more than ten meters.
After a while, a deep hole appeared in front of Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng looked at the deepening hole that appeared in front of him, and Nan murmured to himself: "Xiao Zai really didn't say anything, it seems that this mission can be completed smoothly.
According to the current efficiency of drilling, it won't take long to reach the location of the Alpha knot.
As long as they have access to the alpha knot, the rest of the work becomes easy.
As long as there is no Sifeng passing through here in a short period of time, this operation will definitely succeed.
It seems that nothing unexpected happened during this mission, and Gu Li can get the Alpha product that Jiang Chengchao Sirong wanted.
Mr. Jiang, now that the drill bit has reached the position of Huelfa, the drilling work can be completed.
After more than ten minutes of drilling, an astronaut who was checking the data began to report to Jiang Cheng.
After Jiang Cheng heard what the astronaut said, he began to control the Ruoco drilling equipment to slowly let the drill bit come out of the hole.
Soon the drill bit returned to the ground, and a bottomless hole appeared in front of Jiang Cheng and the others.
This large hole leads directly to the location of the Alpha knot, and is also the final destination of their operation.
Now Jiang Cheng and the others have penetrated hundreds of meters of ice, and the Alpha Formation has been exposed in front of them.
What they have to do now is to pass through the hole in the ice, descend to the location of the net's magic knot, and then fix the alpha crystal to the rope, and then they can set off back.
Seeing the hope that the mission was about to be completed, all the astronauts began to get excited.
No one wants to stay in a ghost place like Neptune for too long, so it would be good to go back early.
What's more, they are almost able to complete this difficult task, and victory is already in front of them.
After seeing that the drilling work was completed, Jiang Cheng simply threw the controller in his hand and stopped taking care of the drilling control equipment.
Jiang Cheng had no interest in moving such a heavy piece of equipment back to the landing site, so Jiang Cheng planned to dump the piece of equipment directly on Neptune this time.
It didn't cost Jiang Cheng much to make this kind of equipment, so Jiang Cheng wouldn't feel bad even if he lost it directly.
Anyway, this piece of equipment has completed all its missions, and it’s time to reach the end of its life.
After discarding the drilling equipment, Jiang Cheng began to tie a rope to himself, preparing to approach the Alpha knot by rappelling.
Get ready to rappel immediately, and someone will come down with me.
The remaining two people are waiting above, ready to support us.
Due to the limited size of the hole in the ice, it can only accommodate two people going down at the same time.
In addition, someone needs to be watching from above, so Jiang Cheng arranged for two astronauts to stay on top, and only one astronaut would follow him down.
"I'll go down with Mr. Jiang. My physical strength is better and I'm more suitable for this kind of work -".
A young astronaut took the initiative to stand up at this time, preparing to rappel down with Jiang Cheng.
It seems that this young astronaut has good courage. At least he did not flinch in front of the dark hole.
This huge hole, which reaches hundreds of meters deep under the ice, is scary enough just to look at it. You can't even see the bottom at a glance.
Most people really don't want to go down here, especially in an environment like Neptune, the danger is really too great.
As long as you are not careful, you may stay in this hole forever.
When the time comes, Zombie City will not be able to return to the water polo, and will have to stay on the cold planet Neptune, frozen by a thick layer of ice.
Just thinking about this kind of end is terrifying. It's already good that he can stand up at this time.
Since this young man took the initiative to go down with Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng readily agreed to his request.
Okay, just watch me and come down together.
The remaining two people stayed on the ground, paying attention to the situation in the surrounding area at all times, and notifying us immediately if any accidents occurred.
Jiang Cheng explained it as quickly as possible and began to prepare for the rappel.
Two minutes later, Jiang Cheng and the astronaut had ropes firmly fixed on their bodies.
Set off!
After getting ready, Jiang Cheng counted down to three and then jumped into the dark hole.
Jiang Cheng was in the ice and tried to use the rappel to control the speed of his fall.
There began to be fierce friction between the rappel and the rope. The resistance generated by the friction began to offset Jiang Cheng's own gravity, causing Jiang Cheng's falling speed to become even.
Jiang Cheng descended towards the bottom little by little, slowly approaching the position where the net's magic was tied.
The young astronaut behind also followed Jiang Cheng down.
The two figures slowly disappeared from the entrance of the cave, submerging themselves into the deep darkness.
Due to the great depth under the ice and the lack of sunlight here on Neptune, it was extremely dark inside, to the point where you could barely see even your fingers.
If it weren't for the lighting equipment on their spacesuits, Jiang Cheng and the others wouldn't know where they were descending.
With the help of the lighting equipment on the spacesuit, Jiang Cheng could clearly see the situation in the surrounding area.
The ice on Neptune has very few impurities and looks very crystal clear.
There is thick ice all around, and Jiang Cheng and the others are now in the middle.
Now Jiang Cheng couldn't see the hole at the top when he looked up, and couldn't see the bottom when he looked down.
Being in this kind of place where you are neither up nor down is the most frightening thing.
The dark and small environment around us will arouse the deepest fears in people's hearts.
This kind of environment is very depressing, and people with poor psychological quality may go crazy after a while.
Fortunately, both Jiang Cheng and the young astronaut are people of extremely high psychological quality.
They ignored the current environment and concentrated on rappelling towards the bottom.
After a period of dark journey, Jiang Cheng finally saw the Alpha knot under his feet.
The size of the Alpha knot is not very large, only less than one meter in length.
