"Tsk..."

Hong Fan's face immediately turned ugly.

He clicked his tongue softly and said, "Let's get ready to go."

He reached out and turned off his wristwatch, saying in a deep voice, "The first batch of robots to land are all infrastructure engineers."

"Therefore, our task is very simple."

"Before the second batch of mining robots lands, we need to conduct on-site investigations of the suspected mineral areas."

Seeing his teammates nod, he spoke again: "We have been assigned a total of ten exploration areas."

"I just looked at the satellite map."

"These ten exploration areas are located between two strong wind belts."

"According to weather forecast data, the wind speed between these two strong wind bands will remain at around 20 kilometers per hour for the next week."

"Waiting for the wind to subside is almost impossible."

“So…” Hong Fan glanced around, “Hurry up and set off immediately!”

"yes!"

Several teammates responded from inside the communication device!

...

As the team leader, Hong Fan took the lead and walked towards the open hatch.

As soon as he poked his head out of the hatch, Hong Fan became acutely aware of the "special" nature of Dawn Star.

Endless yellow sand danced in the air under the influence of a "level 3 breeze"!

It blocked out the entire blue-purple sky!

The once tranquil and peaceful scenery completely disappeared from their sight!

Hearing the continuous crackling sounds coming from the glass mask, Hong Fan's expression darkened even further.

Because of the presence of Xuan Nu II, even with the airlock hatch open, what they felt just now was less than half the power of a real sandstorm!

"WTF..."

Andrew and Bruno's exclamations came through the communication device: "There was no noise when we landed just now."

"Why is the wind suddenly so strong?!"

Hong Fan replied in a low voice, "Is it big?"

"Don't forget, it's just a breeze."

"..." Silence fell over everyone in the communication channel.

Finally, it was Hong Fan who broke the silence.

He walked out of the cabin with steady steps.

A noticeable pushing force came from the side of his body, trying to push him to the other side.

That was the power of nature from Dawn Star.

His body swayed slightly.

But in the next instant, he stood firmly on the surface of Dawn Star, which was covered with gravel and pebbles.

A line of text flashed across the helmet equipped with AR display functionality.

[Exoskeleton Armor Power Output: 10%]

That single line of text emboldened Hong Fan!

This is nothing!

A mere level three breeze wasn't enough to deter him!

"Let's go!" Hong Fan waved his hand, his voice full of pride. "Go and drive the planetary landing vehicle!"

"With this exoskeleton armor, there's nowhere in the world I can't go!"

As he spoke, he strode toward the open cabin on the side of the Xuan Nu II.

Andrew and the others looked at Hong Fan, who was standing in the swirling sandstorm, with strange expressions. For a moment, they had no idea what had gotten into their captain.

Why did my confidence suddenly surge like this?

But the next moment, after feeling the strong support provided by the exoskeleton armor and seeing that line of faint text, a relieved smile appeared on everyone's face!

Ha, that's it?

A few minutes later.

Two massive planetary landing vehicles sped out of the Xuan Nu II's cabin, braving the swirling sandstorm, and headed toward their first destination!

...

Biological laboratory.

At this time, Lü Yongchang was naturally unaware of what was happening on Dawn Star.

His entire focus was on the holographic projection in front of him.

"call……"

Lu Yongchang let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed his sore eyes.

"I have completed this part of the work."

"And you?" He turned to look at the lab table beside him.

Over there, more than ten researchers were operating the control panel in front of them, their brows furrowed and sweating profusely.

This is the first step of the experiment.

This is also the most important step.

They need to extract the gene fragment that controls the growth of the reticular membrane in Magna's internal organs!

Obviously.

This job is not easy to do.

Otherwise, these researchers wouldn't be in such a state of panic.

“Professor…” Mao Zhengzhi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and gave a wry smile, “You’re too fast!”

Lü Yongchang shrugged and raised his hand to beckon.

The next moment, the numerous holographic projections in front of Mao Zhengzhi and the others instantly decreased by a small fraction.

“I’ll help you with part of it,” Lü Yongchang said briefly, then buried his head back into the lab table in front of him.

...

[Note: Current wind speed: 18 km/h]

The watch vibrated slightly.

A message simultaneously appeared in the holographic projection above the console.

Hong Fan ignored the wind speed and continued to concentrate on operating the planetary landing vehicle.

The fully enclosed planetary landing vehicle has a sophisticated internal circulation system.

Therefore, they do not need to wear full spacesuits.

Planetary landers powered by small fusion reactors are obviously not hindered by this "small" wind resistance.

Under Hong Fan's control, the massive planetary lander traversed rugged terrain, heading straight towards its destination.

Wuhu!

Bruno's excited shouts came from beside him: "This is the right way to land on a planet!"

Hong Fan glanced to the side.

Bruno was waving his right hand, celebrating loudly with Andrew the freedom that was so different from what they felt inside the starship.

In the past, Hong Fan would have participated in the celebration.

But now, as the captain, he could only suppress his excitement and speak in a deep voice.

"There are thousands of roads, but safety is the first priority."

"Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."

"You two, sit down in your seats!"

"If you keep acting like this, I'll report you and you'll be locked up in solitary confinement for two days!"

Andrew, Bruno: "..."

The two chuckled awkwardly and sat back down in their seats: "Ahem... Captain Hong, don't be like that!"

What he got in return was a glare from Hong Fan.

Andrew quietly straightened his posture.

Seeing this, Bruno could only suppress his slightly excited thoughts.

"Captain Hong."

"I've noticed that you're starting to resemble the White Team."

Bruno muttered to himself.

Hong Fan shrugged and said with some helplessness, "Perhaps, this is what it feels like to be a team leader."

Distance to destination: 1km.

A line of small text flashed across the holographic projection.

"Everyone, be serious." Hong Fan's expression turned solemn. "We're about to reach the first exploration area."
