The Highest Bounty

Chapter 38: Ugly and brutal

Views:

The federal government has some different classifications of star fields under its jurisdiction. For example, red star fields refer to extremely dangerous areas, black star fields refer to areas under the jurisdiction of interstellar pirates, and golden star fields refer to highly developed star fields. domain, and as for the gray star domain, it represents an abandoned star domain that no one manages.

Generally speaking, the gray star field is an area where intelligent life once appeared, but for some reason, the number of intelligent life in the star field has dropped sharply, and the federal government no longer needs to send personnel to station and manage it.

With the network blocked, Neptune has no way to find the relevant information of this star field, and can only use the radar system on the spacecraft itself to detect the existence of life forms. Fortunately, the radar on the Young Eagle is a new model in recent years, which can detect the existence and specific location of life forms.

The radar detection results were sent back quickly, and the Sea Emperor was a little surprised after seeing the results. Within the detection range, there is a planet with a large population. Although Neptune was a little surprised, he didn't have time to investigate further. The presence of a population meant that there was oxygen and the gravity was suitable. There is nothing better than having such a planet as a foothold. After all, Guding only needs a temporary foothold, and he can start again by avoiding this interstellar storm. Therefore, Neptune quickly chose a foothold.

When the huge meteorite passed by the planet, Neptune controlled the Young Eagle to escape from the meteorite, opened the energy shield and resisted several impacts, and the spacecraft finally fell towards the target planet.

When the spacecraft entered the atmosphere, Neptune tested the composition of the planet's atmosphere. The result of the test is that the oxygen content here is similar to that of Aquamarine, and Guding can breathe normally.

As for the strength of gravity, he also calculated it according to the falling speed, which is about 1.5 times that of the earth. For Gu Ding, whose cell index was close to 20, the impact would not be great.

Under the control of Neptune, the spacecraft quickly fell into the ocean. The Young Eagle has completely scrapped the radar, and most of its functions are no longer usable. As for food and water sources, they were moved into the escape cabin by Gu Ding early on.

The airtight escape capsule ejected from the spaceship and floated on the sea surface, and the Sea Emperor finally woke up Guding.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Gu Ding stretched his waist, "I slept so comfortably this time, has the interstellar storm passed?"

"Not yet, the Young Eagle has been completely abolished, and we were brought to the gray star field by the interstellar storm." Neptune gave a brief explanation, "I have checked the information of this planet initially, it is suitable for human survival, and this There are also life forms on the planet."

"You mean, we've already left the new route?" Guding didn't ask about the whole process, he was more concerned about whether he was still on the new route.

"Yes, this is already the best choice. The first wave of meteorite attacks consumed more than 60% of the energy of the Young Eagle. If it hadn't come here, the Young Eagle would have disintegrated long ago. Torn to shreds."

"How long will it take to return to the new route?" What Guding wants to know most is this question.

"I can wait for the interstellar storm to pass and the electromagnetic shield to disappear before I can send a message and wait for rescue. According to the previous official statement, this interstellar storm will last at least 20 days, and now three days have passed." Neptune can also understand Gu Ding's mood, but in this situation, he has nothing to do.

"That means there are still seventeen days..." Gu Ding was muttering in a low voice, when suddenly his stomach groaned. He had been in the escape pod for three days, and he just woke up now. He didn't feel hungry at first, and it wasn't until then that he noticed that he should need food and water.

He took out the toothpaste-like compressed food and squeezed a few mouthfuls into his mouth, then drank his saliva.

In the early days of interstellar voyages, a lot of food was compressed into toothpaste to prevent food debris from floating in a state of weightlessness, and it would be bad if it was inhaled into the lungs. Nowadays, many advanced spaceships are equipped with a gravity sensing system, so there will be no such problem, and all kinds of food can be eaten casually, but the current Guding still cannot afford a spaceship with a gravity sensing system.

Gu Ding, who was eating compressed food, suddenly saw that there seemed to be fish in the water not far away. He suddenly felt that the food in his mouth became dull, and he wanted to catch a fish to add to his meal.

Just as he took off his clothes and was about to jump, Gu Ding was suddenly stopped by the Sea Emperor, "That fish seems a little weird, don't go down first, I'll send you a video that just started."

Neptune said that he projected an image of a fish in the air, which he detected by himself, as long as it was within a distance of 100 meters around Gu Ding, he could carry out corresponding detection.

"It seems that this fish should not be eaten..." Gu Ding sighed after watching the video.

In the video, the fish is about 30 centimeters long and has a mouth full of sharp teeth. It seems to be fighting for territory with another fish of the same kind.

Soon, the winner was decided. The one with the bigger body bit the opponent's head in one bite, and tore it hard. After a while, only half of the opponent's head was left. In just ten seconds, the same kind that was originally about the same size as him was completely eaten up.

"This fish looks not only ugly, but also very vicious." Gu Ding couldn't help sighing, "Please help me see if there are any other fish that can be eaten."

Afterwards, Neptune took several videos, all of which were different types of sea fish, one of which was more ferocious than the other, which made Gu Ding completely lose his appetite.

After watching these videos, Gu Ding found one thing in common, all of these fish had mouths full of sharp teeth. And when fighting for territory, it doesn't care whether you are the same kind or not, fighting like crazy, with a posture of endless death.

"Is everything like this? Is there one or two fish that can be eaten normally?" Gu Ding asked helplessly.

"Do you think it can grow in this kind of water?" Neptune asked rhetorically, "Even if it existed before, I'm afraid it has been eaten up by other fishes long ago."

"It seems that I can only eat this kind of bland compressed food." He failed to add meals, and Gu Ding, as a standard foodie, was a little depressed.

"This planet is a bit weird. The number of life forms detected by radar before is actually billions. This star field is obviously a gray star field. It stands to reason that it should be difficult to find a planet with life forms." Neptune actually said This is also a little doubtful, but the situation was urgent before, and it was hard to find a planet with life, so he naturally had nothing to choose.

"Neptune, do those fish just now look a bit infected by a virus?" Gu Ding suddenly remembered that a similar situation had happened in the virology course he took at the Military Academy.
