He looked at the planet called Ruimu, which was not far from the spaceship.

Its overall color is blue, green and purple.

Although he had worked on a space station orbiting a planet, he was still unsure about what was on the planet.

All we know is that the blue one is the ocean, and the remaining green and purple ones are the land. There are two similar but overall somewhat different natural environments.

Oh, by the way, there is a creature that Chen Ming already knows.

There is a delicious local specialty in the ocean of the planet, a blue arthropod similar to a lobster. Chen Ming was fortunate enough to eat it after entering the space station.

Due to its low production and difficulty in preservation, it has basically no export value and is often used as a snack for space station crew members.

Although it was just a memory for Chen Ming, the identical faces of the maintenance engineer Chen Ming and the time traveler Chen Ming, as well as the similar life trajectories, made Chen Ming often put himself in the shoes of the other person.

Chen Ming does not reject this situation and feeling, because it allows him to better integrate into this world.

In general, although Chen Ming doesn’t know much, it’s not important.

Because both myself and the doctor have several books on our terminals that contain a brief introduction to this planet.

You can take a look at it before landing and use this information to analyze what to do next.

But not right away.

Because the spacecraft is about to enter the dense area of ​​​​asteroids and start today's mineral collection.

Chen Ming turned his attention away from Ruimu and began to control two machine guns to protect his spaceship.

As soon as Chen Ming entered this area, he found something wrong.

The concentration of asteroids here is a bit too high.

After flying for a while, asteroids appeared on the port side and directly below the hull and entered a dangerous distance almost simultaneously.

Once Chen Ming takes the initiative to shatter an asteroid, the fragments of the asteroid are likely to touch several other surrounding asteroids that do not affect the spacecraft.

Then the asteroid continued to affect the surrounding asteroids, and a series of chain reactions made Chen Ming quite exhausted to deal with.

If it weren't for Chen Ming's method of controlling the spacecraft, which was almost equivalent to his brain controlling his body, the movements would have been extremely smooth.

Otherwise, the iron ore ship that has just entered this area may be hit by several holes.

Under Chen Ming's control, most of the asteroids that hit the spacecraft were dodged.

Those that couldn't dodge were basically all smashed to pieces, trying to minimize the damage to the spacecraft.

But even so.

Ten hours later.

The Iron Ore still escaped from the asteroid-dense area in the asteroid belt with many potholes all over its body.

The durability of the entire ship's armor dropped by 20% to 30%, causing the spaceship that Chen Ming had specially repaired yesterday to return to its original state, and even become more damaged.

But fortunately it's all worth it.

With the modified Type II mining laser, Chen Ming successfully collected enough materials to repair the spacecraft's takeoff and landing in the high-density asteroid belt that Chen Ming had actively selected in one day, and there was even a lot of surplus.

However, Chen Ming was not in a hurry to start repairs at this time.

Because he wanted to be in the best condition to travel to Ramu, and repairing the spacecraft would obviously put him in a bad condition.

So even if it was repaired today, Chen Ming would not rush down.

It is better to go to bed early and repair yourself before resting to ensure that you have enough energy to deal with everything that may happen the next day.

And I have other things to do now.

Determine where the spacecraft will land.

It happened that at this moment the spacecraft and the space station were both on the sun-facing side of the planet, and most of the planet below was illuminated by the light of the stars, so the general terrain of the planet could be easily seen from space.

Chen Ming opened his personal terminal and called up content related to Ruimu Star.

At the same time, I recalled what I learned in high school geography.

Although he had almost forgotten everything, Chen Ming still remembered some common sense or important content.

For example, the deflection angle of Rhodope is similar to that of Earth, but slightly larger.

Therefore, locations close to the equator are likely to have tropical or subtropical climates similar to Earth.

This area should be more suitable for you to find the crops you need.

Just then, Chen Ming looked at the terminal, which was displaying the overall topographic map of the planet.

After some simple thinking and searching for information, I determined that there are subtle differences between the climate and topography of Ramu and the Earth.

Chen Ming determined the preferred landing location.

Probably around 30 degrees north latitude on the planet.

The color of this area as seen from space is green, which Chen Ming finds pleasing to the eye.

The overall terrain is a coastal plain, surrounded by hills near the inland area, with a subtropical climate.

It's simply the perfect location for growing crops.

And right now at this time and this place, it is exactly autumn on Ramu.

The weather was fine and a large number of plants were ripe, waiting for Chen Ming to find them.

There is also better news for Chen Ming.

Ramu's orbital period is much shorter than Earth's, which means that its seasons change very quickly and each season lasts very short.

This also results in the growth cycle of many plants on the planet being very short.

Chen Ming needs such crops.

After determining the landing location.

Chen Ming looked at the content in the book about other terrains and areas on the planet.

I spent some time picking out a few alternative landing sites in case I encountered force majeure after landing and was forced to start looking for a suitable landing place again.

Instead of being in a hurry at that time, it is better to prepare now.

It was almost time for a break after Chen Ming had decided on several alternative locations.

So Chen Ming lay on the bed in the living cabin.

The image of the engine compartment appeared in his eyes.

There is a narrow maintenance passage in the engine compartment that leads to the bottom of the spacecraft.

This is where the circuits connecting the entire spacecraft, heat pipes, and landing modules are located.

Although Chen Ming really wanted to try it himself, it would be better to rely on a stable panel to repair it before his personal safety was completely guaranteed.

Chen Ming continued to connect to the camera in the maintenance channel and opened the panel of the landing module.

Several different metallic liquids flow from the storage chamber after the repair button is pressed.

It covered the inside and outside of the spacecraft, and was full of damaged landing modules.

The buffer module, which suffered the most damage in the entire landing system, was repaired first.

Then comes the positioning module, landing gear module and finally the overall circuit connection.

After a period of time that was slightly dull compared to the previous entry into the dense asteroid belt.

The landing module came back online.

The original "Damage" on the panel also changed to "Operational".

Chen Ming closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, at least it was a good morning for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming sat in the captain's room early.

Looking at the planet outside the porthole that was gradually occupying the entire field of vision of the spacecraft, my heartbeat was somehow speeding up.

This should be the result of a mixture of fear and excitement in facing the unknown.

As the spacecraft completely locked the landing location scheduled yesterday.

Chen Ming knew the time had come.

He took a deep breath and controlled the spaceship to fly towards a distant planet.
