wandering planet

Ovid was puzzled by Jiang Che's strange attitude.He thought for a long time and found the answer: just play.

He regretted it so much, he thought to himself why he couldn't speak so much, he had to jump into a hole after digging it.Ovid was not in a good mood for several days in a row, and he didn't really want to respond to Jiang Che, so he just sat aside and thought about it when he had time.

There were some strange-shaped molluscs in the fish that Pierre and Tang Mo caught. Jiang Che studied for a while and found that the texture of these things was very similar to that of squid.

Jiang Che thought of a way to dry them, roast them on the fire, and let everyone tear them up and eat them as snacks.

The meat fiber of these meat slices is very tough, and it tastes naturally sweet. Tang Mo and Lin Ni especially like to eat its tentacles that are slightly burnt.Fortunately, there are a lot of tentacles, and there can only be dozens of them at a time. They distributed all the tentacles to Tang Mo and Lin Ni.

For the remaining meat, Jiang Che originally wanted to stir-fry it, but the lifeboat really didn’t dare to use too much fire, so he changed it to boil it.The meat slices are white, with a soft film. Use a sharp knife to cut the horizontal and vertical knife lines, and then roll it in boiling water-it is too easy to cook, and it will be rolled up immediately. The knife lines are opened one by one, and the meat slices become A circle like a scroll.

The dipping sauce doesn't need to be too complicated, the simplest soy sauce will do.With a fork, the cooked slices of meat are lightly rolled in the dark brown sauce, and a little bit of dipping is already sweet enough.

"What the hell is this thing called?"

Jiang Che answered Pierre's question: "A similar food on earth is called squid."

"Then call it squid. It's delicious." Pierre chewed, "but I always feel that something is missing."

"It's missing something that can fill your stomach." Tang Mo burped.

During this period of time, apart from eating the original food on the lifeboat, that is aquatic plants, mushrooms, fish, shrimp and crabs, they have not eaten starchy food for nearly a month.Although the food can fill the stomach, it is easy to get hungry and not feel full.

"Will Nini have rice?" Jiang Che asked.

Lin Ni swallowed a mouthful of shredded squid: "Impossible."

The division of labor of the transport ships responsible for transporting consumable materials and biological raw materials in the Great Evacuation is completely different, and the storage conditions and equipment are also completely different.Song Junxing said that the transport ship that crashed in Nini transported animals raised by humans, so it could not transport plants.

Jiang Che himself really wanted to eat rice.The lifeboat was full of bread, and rice was rarely eaten on Faust. He even felt that he hadn't eaten rice seriously for hundreds of years.

"I want to eat meat..." Tang Mo said.

"I want to eat rice..." Jiang Che said.

At this time, there is still half a day's voyage away from the planet Nini on the edge of the Sirius planetary belt.

Compared with Greya F and Virgil, Nini is the planet closest to the earth's ecological environment.

Disputes broke out when the retreating fleet arrived at Nini. Some people believed that they could stay in Nini, otherwise they would have to pass through the Sirius planetary belt, which was full of crises; Because Nini's size is too small, only half of the earth, if human beings want to continue the current height of civilization here, Nini cannot afford it at all.

The fleet did not stop at Nini in the end and continued to sail forward.But 17 transports crashed due to an attack by alien marauders passing through the planetary belt.

"Who is Song Junxing?" Pierre also had doubts, "How could he know so many things related to the 'Great Retreat'?"

Linney and Ovid both understood what Pierre meant.

Song Junxing did not wear the badge of the Marseille Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, that is to say, he was not a graduate of the academy.

The "Great Retreat" information, especially the purpose and number of the crashed ships are top secret information.Not to mention Song Junxing, even a person like Lin Ni, the son of General Lee Swright, couldn't get such detailed information.

What's more, all the things Song Junxing said seemed to be what he saw on these planets with his own eyes.

Song Junxing claimed that he could not leave the Black Sea, so how did he know?

Tang Mo whispered, "But he didn't harm us."

"Yes." Linney nodded, "At present, we can only follow his instructions with suspicion."

The lifeboats began to descend.It flew half a circle around Nini, and gradually sank into Nini's atmosphere.

Not far away, there was a rain cloud that was rolling with lightning. The lifeboat passed through the lightning and heavy rain, passed through the rainbow outside the rain cloud, and finally landed on the dry ground.

It is far away from Michelangelo, the first star in the Sirius planetary belt, so looking at the sky from the ground, the size and light of that star are also very similar to the sun.Jiang Che lifted his legs and stepped off the lifeboat, looked left and right, and guessed that it was because of this suitable distance and temperature that Nini formed such an ecological environment.

Before taking two steps, his feet could not be lifted up as if being pulled from behind. Jiang Che didn't have time to turn around, and his head fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the head was protected in time, but the knees and legs were very painful.

Jiang Che looked at the hatch of the lifeboat in surprise.Ovid followed closely behind him, but it was impossible for Ovid to pull him like this.

"What's the matter with you?" Ovid jumped down nervously, making a heavy sound.

Jiang Che only felt that his body was very heavy, and it was difficult to raise his hands.

Just as he was about to speak, Tang Mo on the gangway yelled and fell down just like himself.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lin Ni grabbed Tang Mo's waist, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground.

Pierre walked down the handrail step by step: "I forgot to say, the gravitational force of Ni Ni is two to three times that of the earth and Marseille, everyone must pay attention to the way you walk. Jiang Che and Tang Mo have not received training, you two Get used to it."

Jiang Che sat on the ground for a while, then turned over with difficulty and got up.

Ovid stood in front of him and held out his hand to him: "Follow me for a few steps to get used to it."

Jiang Che held his hand and walked forward step by step.

Ovid and Lin Ni respectively taught Jiang Che and Tang Mo to walk in this gravity environment. The two learned quickly, but walking was very tiring, and the equipment on their bodies seemed too heavy.

All the information on this planet is obtained from Song Junxing.Lin Ni's elder brother Cicero did not say anything to him. Tang Mo, who had always believed in Cicero's ability to predict, believed that Cicero's ability to predict had a limited scope, and Lin Ni had already exceeded his range of prediction, so he In the end, he could only reveal to Linney the things up to Virgil.

Linney scoffed.

There is still one person on duty on the ship, and this person can only be Pierre.

The other four carried weapons such as guns and blades, and portable communicators, and explored from four directions centering on the landing point of the lifeboat.

According to Song Junxing, there is a primeval forest near this landing point, with lakes and rivers in the forest, and they can find a lot of edible meat in this forest.

Due to the thick clouds and heavy rain, the lifeboat could not observe the ground effectively before it landed. We could only roughly see a piece of green vegetation at the nine o'clock position of the lifeboat, with a large area.

Strangely, after they landed, the vegetation was no longer visible.

The location where the lifeboat landed was on a slightly higher plain, and no matter which location it was to explore, it would take a downhill walk.

"I saw..." It was Tang Mo who saw the vegetation first.

Soon Linney also said that he had discovered the location of the forest.

Jiang Che and Ovid immediately changed their route to join Tang Mo and Lin Ni.

"This is too strange..." Tang Mo walked out of breath, while still marveling, "The tree is too short! It's too small!"

Jiang Che grabbed the communicator: "Short? Is it a breed problem?"

Half an hour later, the four finally met.Ovid and Jiang Che seemed to have trekked for several hours, and both of them were sweating.

"What's going on?" Jiang Che looked at the things in Lin Ni and Tang Mo's hands, "Did you catch them?"

Tang Mo nodded: "This is the animal on Nini."

She is holding a noose around a zebra's neck.

"I'm not afraid of people at all, and I don't know how to hide." Tang Mo moved the rope, his face full of inconceivable surprise, "I put it on right away."

Jiang Che and Ovid looked at each other.

The zebra caught by Tang Mo was very energetic, with beautiful hair, and its limbs and back were considered strong - but it was too small! ! !It was the first time they saw an adult zebra less than one meter long.

What Linney caught was a golden pheasant, its feathers were shiny and shiny, and it dragged a majestic tail.It stood on Linney's arm, and it looked like it was only the size of a magpie.

"So small..." Tang Mo was very happy, and carefully touched the zebra's ear with his fingers, "It's so cute."

"So small!" cried Ovid. "There's so little meat! You can't get enough!"

As they headed into the forest, they finally determined that almost everything on Nini was at least half the size of Marseille.

The transport ship that crashed on this planet that day was shattered, and the surviving animals broke out of their cages one after another, walked into this planet, and became the new rulers.However, during more than 500 years of reproduction and evolution, they survived in order to adapt to the special gravity environment of Nini, and gradually changed their physique.

"Take the golden pheasant for example." Lin Ni raised the golden pheasant in his hand, and the golden pheasant croaked, "If it is as big as the chickens we usually see, it will not be able to run very far here. There is no way to avoid natural enemies. I can catch it because it doesn’t know what I am, so it’s defenseless. If this little thing has a sense of vigilance, none of the four of us can run past it.”

The little thing struggled desperately in his hand, pecking at his fingers non-stop.

Lin Ni didn't think about eating such a small thing, so he raised his hand and put it away.Tang Mo also reluctantly let the zebra go. The zebra doesn't live in the forest, so he turned around and ran outside.The golden pheasant followed him, fluttering over the low bushes, and also went out of the forest.

This is the edge of the forest, and you will officially enter the forest if you go further.The trees in the forest are very tall and have grown over the years. The heavy and thick canopy weighs on the top of the head, and people will feel very depressed when walking in.

Tang Mo and Jiang Che walked in the middle, Lin Ni took the lead, and Ovid was in the rear.The four entered the forest one by one and began to search for their targets: cattle, pigs and sheep.

The forest was very quiet, Lin Ni walked for a while, and suddenly heard a rustling sound from above.

They all raised their heads to look up, but there were dense clumps of branches and leaves, and the wind kept passing through them, so they didn't find anything.

"Is it the wind?" Tang Mo said.

Jiang Che remembered the big fish they saw when they left Virgil.

"Nini's ecological circle is so complete, so there should be living things?" He asked, "Where did those living things go? They were all eaten by these invaders?"
