Twenty soldiers were the first to be awakened.
More than 700 years of hibernation resulted in not only some muscle damage, but also the loss of some memory fragments.
Fortunately, their loyalty has never changed.
Before the Dandelion Project began, they had already received extremely professional training, and after a short recovery, they immediately became the most reliable force on the spacecraft.
On the third day after landing on the ground, Wencheng led a team of ten people to start the first search.
This planet is very strange, and there seems to be some undetectable interference with communications. Despite this, the main body of the spacecraft still captured a signal from the secondary fragments.
With the coordinates, Wen Cheng led the fully armed soldiers to start the first exploration.
All the information about the planet is very similar to that of humanity's home planet. The gravity level, air composition, etc. are enough to allow these alien visitors to adapt quickly.
Although it sounds unlikely, when humans expand their search range to a vast star field, some extremely low-probability events will often occur.
After passing through the terrifying area formed by the wreckage of the spacecraft on the ground, they came to an unknown land.
The ground here is rough but flat, showing the common brown-yellow color. In the distance is a sparkling sea. The landing location of the spacecraft is indeed well chosen, at least it can reach the water source quickly.
The ten soldiers and Wen Cheng were not experts in ecology, and they were in no mood to enjoy the scenery along the way. They just kept alert and moved forward.
Gradually, the spaceship that was tilted and stuck in the ground like a spire disappeared behind everyone. On the distant ground, they saw a huge piece of spaceship debris.
The gray-black cross-section was hideous, and countless metal fragments were scattered around the target location.
Wen Cheng found it hard to believe what was happening here, because according to common sense, a secondary body without buffering capacity would surely break into a state that could not be recovered at all.
But it seems that this is not the case at the moment. He can guarantee that if there is really a way to transport this huge secondary body that is nearly a thousand meters high back to the vicinity of the main body of the spacecraft, maybe it can really be repaired.
Thinking of things he shouldn't have thought about, Wen Cheng condemned himself in his heart, and then entered an extremely serious working state.
The group advanced here for about half a day. To be on the safe side, it would be best to return to the spacecraft base before dark.
When they arrived near the huge ring-shaped fragment, Wen Cheng ordered two people to work in groups and give priority to restoring communication between the secondary fragment and the main body.
Soldiers with relevant knowledge immediately began to repair, while the remaining soldiers remained vigilant around.
Wen Cheng carefully examined the various fragments on the ground, and determined the original location of the fragments by the coating and markings inside the secondary fragments.
Soon, he overlapped the two images in his memory.
This should not be the area where the sleepers are stored, but the area where the machines are stored.
As everyone was on guard, a thin black thread kept wriggling in the cracks of the ruins.
This thing was like a viscous, living fluid. As it kept moving, its surface gradually began to turn white, just like unstable chemicals that began to fade when exposed to light.
Gradually, one by one, the silk threads began to gather together, their movement slow and silent, constantly approaching the heat source that successfully awakened them.
In the dark vision, the humans who kept moving back and forth were like twinkling torches, warm and bright, constantly attracting them.
It was an instinctive attraction, as if this strange black and white creature was born to blend in with other creatures.
However, those heat sources have an ability that they do not have - vision.
Under the sunlight, the black objects continued to gather and were soon noticed by the first human soldier.
Although it had partially faded, Wen Cheng recognized at a glance that the black stuff was the unknown substance that leaked out after the energy cannon shattered the shuttle-shaped object.
And those things are now slowly gathering and wriggling.
It's alive!
In the training received by Wencheng and even every soldier who can reach here, there is a lesson on how to deal with unknown creatures.
Although such courses are as outrageous and fantastical to the soldiers as teaching others how to hunt a dragon in the technological age, the flowing creatures in front of them are still within the scope of their learning content.
Wencheng decisively issued a retreat order and allowed the soldiers to use high-temperature weapons and small energy weapons to attack.
He did not allow the use of explosives. When facing such a creature, if even a little bit of it was splashed onto a human, that person, as the person who came into contact with it for the first time, would lose his freedom no matter what.
Even if it is proven long time later that the substance is completely harmless, it may be several years or even more than ten years later.
After experiencing the sudden high temperature burn, the black and white creature also showed obvious retreat behavior. Wen Cheng led his team to successfully withdraw to the spacecraft.
Wencheng stood in the sealed cabin, and the exploration suit he was wearing was being disinfected again and again.
This requires necessary caution. Once the exploration clothing is damaged or Wen Ben exhibits any behavior that is inconsistent with his identity, he will be isolated immediately.
Fortunately, there were no flaws in either the completeness of the exploration suit or Wencheng's answers. After only twelve hours of isolation and observation, he would be able to move freely again in the main body of the spacecraft.
All the crew members were watching the video information recorded by the soldiers. The monster that looked like a slug aggregate kept wriggling in the holographic projection, making everyone fall into silence.
Everyone was more or less mentally prepared for this. After all, this planet had already been labeled as "having primitive life forms" in human observations.
But...you tell me this is the beginner level?
This thing is definitely not a native creature of this planet, but it can adapt to the environment here just like humans...
As expected, no expedition is easy. Now they must speed up their plans, because according to the spacecraft's records, the black matter is enough to cover most of the spacecraft's secondary surface. It is conceivable how much there is...
On the sixth day after landing on the ground, Wencheng and his team's observation period ended and new tasks were assigned.
Two hours later, Wencheng walked on the surface of the planet and slowly took off the helmet of his exploration suit, using his own personal experience to prove that the air outside was harmless to humans.
On the seventh day after landing on the planet, all remaining crew members entered the awakening procedure.
