Chapter 163 Interstellar Orphan (22)
Tokiho sat in the cockpit, her body bearing extremely high-intensity impact and tearing, even her bones were shaking so much that they were almost falling apart.
The wind on the WT27 asteroid is indeed extremely strong due to the gravitational pull of the nearby black hole.
The reconnaissance ship was swept by the strong airflow and rotated at high speed continuously. Even if the power system was pushed to the maximum, it was still not enough to compete with the violent nature.
The reconnaissance ship's jet protection system could not work properly due to the interference of turbulence, and rough stones of various sizes hit it at extremely high speed, creating sparks.
If this continues, not to mention landing, even the reconnaissance ship itself will be torn to pieces.
"Load the cruise missiles immediately!!"
Shisui held the joystick firmly with one hand and freed up the other hand to control the missile launch.
Manual control is a few tenths of a second faster than voice commands.
In the current extreme circumstances, if we can save a few tenths of a second of reaction speed, the accuracy will be greatly improved.
"Warm-up complete, cruise missile loaded successfully."
Shisui drove the reconnaissance ship vertically into the air, then pulled a lever and the reconnaissance ship drew a semicircular arc horizontally. When the inertia was about to run out, she concentrated her mind and fired the cruise missiles on the ship one after another in a rhythmic manner.
With the help of the reverse thrust of the launched missiles, the light and thin reconnaissance ship gained extra power, withstood the overwhelming wind, and gradually moved downwards.
“It’s right here!”
Taking advantage of the fleeting gap, Shisui launched three missiles in succession, finally allowing the reconnaissance ship to leave the storm area.
The reconnaissance ship successfully made an emergency landing, stopped steadily, and slid to the side of an abandoned building.
"call--"
Shisui calmed herself down, unbuckled the seat, and checked the basic condition of the reconnaissance ship.
Energy 64%
Engine efficiency 47%
Core balance system 71%
Cruise missile reload rate 38%
It's a little damaged, but not too bad.
It's still possible to fly back.
In other words, the reconnaissance ship is too small and too fragile.
If what came was a giant space battleship that could carry thousands of people, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Shisui did not go out rashly, but sent out several unmanned probes to understand the situation first.
Due to its special geographical structure, the extreme storms on the WT27 asteroid are concentrated in an area 100 meters to 15 kilometers above the ground.
As long as you force your way through the terrifying convection belt, the wind will be much weaker near the ground.
People can still barely stand on the ground.
The unmanned probe circled within a few kilometers and found no signs of any biological activity.
It was only detected that the radiation index of the surrounding environment was 900% higher than the highest alert level, and the amount of harmful substances was also increasing.
This place is definitely a man-eating ruin.
...Tokisui put on a full set of protective armor, took weapons and unmanned detectors, and made full preparations. She got off the reconnaissance ship and walked towards the largest ground building on land.
Large blocks of gray-green stones were built into a square, box-like, flat-roofed hut, standing on the bare red land.
How to describe it... It looks like an ancient tomb, forming a sharp contrast with the black and gray high-tech reconnaissance ship parked not far away.
The only modern touch to the flat-roofed cabin comes from the building's single metal door, which is equipped with a camera and facial recognition equipment.
However, this door had obviously been broken for a long time, all the lights on the equipment were off, and it was covered with a thick layer of sand and gravel.
Judging from the rust on it, it has not been opened for many years.
Tokiho used brute force to pry the door open to both sides.
"Let's take a gamble and see if there's anyone alive inside."
After the dust from the broken door settled, what appeared before Shisui's eyes was a floor full of scattered stones and four completely destroyed elevators... which seemed to lead to the underground city.
The ruins before him matched what Vincent had said about the reactor explosion.
Shisui squatted beside the collapsed elevator, looking down with the help of the strong light built into her armor.
There was a huge deep pit under my feet, with no bottom in sight.
Considering the risk of underground landslides, Shisui first sent out an unmanned probe to explore.
I have to say that the equipment of the space peacekeeping force is still very impressive. Although the unmanned probe is only the size of a palm, it has quite complete functions.
Not only does it have a surround night vision camera, it can also capture various key indicators in the environment and transmit them back to the fully enclosed armor worn by Shi Sui in real time.
According to preliminary investigations, the pit is at least 500 meters deep, equivalent to more than 100 floors above ground.
Shisui gave the detector an order: "Continue to descend until the bottom."
"We have descended to 100 meters underground, the temperature is -21°C, the radiation intensity has dropped by 12%, and the harmful substance content has decreased by 5%."
"We have descended to 200 meters underground, the temperature is -37°C, the radiation intensity has dropped by 17%, and the harmful substance content has decreased by 8%."
The reactor is built at the deepest point underground. Logically, the danger should increase the deeper you go.
The current data shows the opposite, which is very strange.
At the same time, the unmanned probe also sent back a strange picture.
In the quiet ruins underground... suddenly an inconspicuous black shadow flashed by...!
