star watcher

Three hours later, the improved version of Frostwalk and another light brown melee mech "Zircon" passed under the membrane structure one behind the other.

The spaceship was attacked before, it was completely bad luck, and it hit the half of the defense system that was still in operation.On the other side, there was a big hole in the firepower coverage area, and they barely took the time to defend and break through, so they got under the membrane and saw the whole picture of Pearl White Star.

——In the field of vision, white, gray, and black constitute the main colors of this planet.

High and low mountains, grotesque rocks, abandoned city ruins, white snow seems to never melt, the earth is cracked with black holes, criss-crossing, it looks desolate, and there are no traces of vegetation and animals. Not at all visible.

"Lower the altitude." Demreko took the lead in making a deceleration and side-sliding movement, close to the ground.

Milan followed behind him, stumbling and also made a non-standard deceleration and skidding.

"The radiation is too serious, serious." Hercules murmured.

For Bamboo, radiation equals mutation, and mutation equals something new.

Bamboo looked forward to it even more.

After lowering the altitude, the landforms became more obvious, and other shapes could finally be seen on the vast plain—the remains of wavy fan-shaped shells.

The wreckage can be captured by the camera because key image comparisons have been set, otherwise it would be too easy to ignore it just by naked eyes.Moreover, the low flying altitude is a test for the pilot's operation-this statement is only limited to Milan, which has just completed three hours of driving experience.

At the same time, images can be captured in the air because the shell remains are too large, generally seven or eight meters in diameter, and if restored, the diameter will not be less than ten meters.

With the fan-shaped wreckage for comparison, the conclusion was quickly drawn—it was not that the mountains were too high, but this piece of deep sea that was originally endless.

"According to records, Pearl White Star was famous for producing giant mother-of-pearl clams in history." 600 years ago, the time is not too long, but it is not too short.Hercules did not have Bamboo's ability to separate himself, directly maintaining the communication between the spaceship and the mecha, and turning on the shared video.

Now that evidence has been collected and verified, this is the legendary Pearl White Star, and the purpose of confirmation has been achieved.

Knowing this pattern of defense structure and knowing which planet it is, it is not difficult to deduce the location of the energy base station, which will be their final destination.

"Raise the height." Demreko instructed, demonstrating by himself.

Milan followed suit.

The monotonous sound of the radar sounded round after round, and the disk was blank.

Bamboo looked at the screen silently, at this height... still can't speak.

— but he will have it.

The moment the light spot with energy display lit up on the edge of the radar dish, Bamboo immediately regained his spirits.

A series of simple and clear equations are formed in the brain: energy - needs to be transported - needs to be in close contact - landed to explore - eat.

On the radar dish, the only energy concentration point is getting closer and closer, and there are no other energy concentration areas around.

"Flying reconnaissance." Demreko continued to instruct.

After reaching a nearby high altitude, the mech circled in a spiral shape, gradually lowering its altitude.A small spot on the thermal energy radar gradually spread out and became a patch.

Then they caught waves of weak mental shocks—the mechs all have mental defense functions of varying strengths, and they will feel "weak" relatively speaking. If they are placed outside, they can initiate mental shocks from such a distance. No matter how powerful you are, you can still get four or five levels.

"Evacuate." Demreko ordered decisively.

——Here, there are creatures!

Didn't it mean that Pearl White Star has been abandoned?

Hasn't it been 600 years?

The creatures here are humans?Or... a high-level beast?

Or, a...civilization from across the "end of the universe"?

Before Demreko noticed the mental shock, he instructed Milan: "Raise the height."

Of course, Milan was also affected by the mental shock. While pulling up the mech, he asked, "Banbu, how are you?"

"very good."

"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"I will."

"Ah."

"Why are there creatures here? Creatures!" Hercules couldn't feel the mental shock, but he was able to communicate with Bamboo, and immediately jumped up, "It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense!"

"I'll go and have a look. You are responsible for responding. If there is any danger, leave immediately." Demreko urged.Facing the defense of the fourth or fifth level of mental power, he is confident that he can handle it, but these two little ones may not be able to handle it.

"Captain, be careful." Milan drove Frost, and slowly circled around the outer high altitude, asking for instructions, "Can we split up? I want to take some samples, including soil and giant clam remains."

Demreko replied "please don't worry", and he manipulated the mecha "Zircon" to land slowly. The inflection point of living is also the blind spot of vision.

This time, he didn't feel threatened.

After receiving the mecha, the double five-level talent value is enough to ensure that he can breathe, talk, walk and run normally under most of the harsh conditions.The high concentration of radiation in the surface space can't do anything to him in a short time.

The Pearl White Star is cold and windless, and the air is dry and cold.There is no worry in the range of vision, and the same in the range of mental power... huh?

Demreko suddenly raised his body, and out of a crack on the ground, six or seven spears sprang out - spears!

There's a reason Milan suddenly offered to collect samples.

"... Strange, strange. Shouldn't be, shouldn't be." Hercules circled around on the light screen with his hands behind his back, "Milan, can we collect some materials on the spot?"

"What do you think is wrong?"

"Yes, yes, it has been here for 600 years, but judging from the appearance of the mother-of-pearl clam remains, it doesn't look like it has been worn and worn for such a long time." Hercules did not store professional biological and architectural knowledge, this The inference is drawn from the perspective of traceology.

"Okay." After Milan greeted Demreko, he manipulated the mech to go back and forth.

It didn't take long for the mech to come to the nearest giant mother-of-pearl wreck.

The three-hour space mech training was obviously not enough, no matter how cautious Milan was, Shuang Xing still fell hard.The majestic mech raised its hands high, its legs twisted into twists, and turned sideways in a strange posture.

However, the first time was raw and the second time was familiar. After standing up on the flat ground, Milan did not rush to sample. Instead, he did several walking, running, jumping and emergency stop exercises on the flat ground.

Physical strength determines hand speed, and hand speed determines the fluency of mech movements.Mental power determines the energy conversion rate, and the energy conversion rate determines the attack and defense strength of the mecha.

Milan's talent value can only exert 68.77% of the ability of this improved mech at most, and his hand speed is slowing down.If it were replaced by the real Frost Walk, it would probably be able to drain all his mental power from the first drive.

Shuang Xing slowly stabilized his body and walked towards the mother-of-pearl giant clam step by step.

As soon as you raise your hand to touch it, powder will rustle from the weathered edge.

"The radiation is quite strong, try not to come out, don't come out." Hercules reminded, "To collect specimens, you must use an isolation box, an isolation box!"

"Okay." Since he couldn't come out, he had to use the mecha to complete the task.

——Micro-manipulation is another challenge.The subtle movements of the mech will test the cooperation of the driver's dual talents.

Milan was careful, according to Hercules' prompt, first took a picture, operated the frost line to break off a little bit of the shell edge to judge the hardness and the force to be applied, adjusted the force to make a circular gap in the center of the wreckage, obtained a section of the sample, put it in The isolation box, ready to be brought back to the spaceship for analysis by Hercules.

After finishing this seemingly simple but delicate task, he broke out in a sweat, and his nervousness was no less than that of operating the Warrior in Liulihai.

However, this kind of exercise opportunity is indeed rare, and Milan is quite happy to see it, and he tries to continue to familiarize himself with these movements—walking, running and jumping are just the basics of the basics, fighting mechs, raising legs You must know all kinds of advanced movements such as parrying, spinning, kicking and stabbing?Combining these movements, it must be possible to play a set of fighting boxing skills, right?There are even more difficult ones, which can break fingers at such a high speed, we will talk about those later.

Of course, Milan knew that training the mecha should not be rushed. Hercules found the self-help instruction manual, and when he opened it on the light screen, it was full of action disassembly and command symbols.The mecha is just a very simple kicking action, which includes six steps of "bending knees, raising legs, kicking out, stabilizing the center of gravity, retracting, and landing". Hand speed and hand feel are very important.

Not in a hurry to learn advanced movements, Milan practiced the basic movements several times, stopped to rub his fingers, and turned around - Bamboo was also staring at his hands.

"Bamboo?"

Bamboo squeezed to Milan and pinched his fingers one by one: "Does it hurt?" The knuckles were a little stiff, not good.

"It doesn't hurt."

"En." Bamboo responded, and continued to knead, with a sophisticated posture and proper movements.He didn't look through the database for the specific method of massaging his fingers, so he asked Hercules directly for it, which was more convenient.

Milan's hands are not big, and on the fingertips and palms, there are some old scars distributed in the past, small and messy, because when you can't see it, you can't avoid bumps when touching things.Now the scars are not conspicuous, what is conspicuous is a layer of calluses, and it is not the pampered hands at first glance.

The seat was not big, and Bamboo was sitting on the armrest. The two of them were close to each other without saying a word. Milan occasionally squeezed Bamboo back, and Bamboo corrected him seriously: "Don't move your hands."

"Oh." As expected, Milan's hands did not move, and he rubbed against Bamboo's body.

Both parties are very satisfied with the current posture, so they are silent.

Milan has nothing to do at the moment, so they can rest.

Bamboo also said silently that while Milan was in a hurry to operate Shuangxing, he ate all the food around him, and now he is fine.

However, Hercules' judgment was correct. According to the taste—ah no, according to his analysis after decomposing the sample, the death of this pearl mother-of-pearl clam was 200 years ago, and the time was completely wrong.

In the absence of protection, the seawater has not been evaporated or frozen for 400 years?Or did the membrane defense break down only 200 years ago?

No, this sea evaporated 200 years ago.This is also evidenced by the amount of radiation in the rock.

—Didn't he say that?There's radiation out there!A large amount of radiation harmful to the human body!

……

"...that's why we live underground." In the most comfortable room in Pearl White Star Dungeon, an old and majestic voice slowly finished everything.Although the words and grammar are slightly different, 70.00% of them can be understood.

"Thank you for your explanation." Demreko, the oldest and most experienced of the three, replied consciously.

Yes, after a battle, or a unilateral repressive victory, the two sides finally sat down and had a peace talk.

The room was warm and the cushions were plush and comfortable. The drinks and food, on the contrary, were rough.Milan didn't take a sip of food or drink a sip of water.

Neither did Bamboo. Although he never refused to feed, Milan and Demreko stretched out their hands at the same time and pressed his shoulders with great precision, preventing him from taking it.

So Bamboo could only stare helplessly at the radiant water and jerky on the low table, in a daze.With this kind of radiation intensity, he can really eat it no problem!

By the way, he didn't switch the visual mode, but wore a pair of night vision goggles, the radiation situation was clear at a glance, which was particularly eye-catching.

As for optical sight?

Unfortunately, 99.93% of the dungeon has no light and no light sources.

The remaining measly 0.07% is dim fluorescence.

Even so, the people of the dungeon don't need it.

It's not that he doesn't have energy, and it's not that he's gifted.

——The strong radiation and mutations here have caused all people to be blind since birth, and any light is superfluous.
