Somewhere on the dark side of Ramu's terminator, just before dawn in this region.

Chen Ming's spacecraft deliberately chose this time to enter the atmosphere.

As the orange-red flames produced by high temperature gradually appeared in Chen Ming's field of vision.

Retractable metal plates gradually rose on the surface of the spacecraft's portholes to isolate the heat from outside.

The temperature inside the spacecraft rose slightly, but was generally stable.

During this time, all Chen Ming could do was wait.

But soon, the hull suddenly shook slightly.

This is the landing module's cushioning system at work, indicating that the spacecraft is about to approach the surface.

Not long after, the metal plates protecting the portholes were retracted, and the most dangerous period before the spacecraft landed passed.

The light from the stars refracted from one end of the horizon of Ramu, bringing a scene that Chen Ming had never seen before into his eyes.

A forest of green plants with shapes resembling those of snail shells.

Chen Ming's eyes were full of curiosity, and he couldn't help but want to go over and take a look at these novel plants.

However, Chen Ming immediately restrained himself and did not forget the important things he had to do.

Find the exact landing location.

Only the general terrain can be seen from space, and the map in the terminal cannot be accurately depicted in meters.

Therefore, the final landing site must be confirmed on site.

Chen Ming’s idea was to find a river to prioritize his own water supply.

However, you cannot land directly next to a river to prevent flooding or other possible dangerous creatures.

Apart from this, Chen Ming does not have high requirements for the landing location.

So he quickly found a suitable place.

The top of a small hill. There is a certain curvature on the side of the hill, but the top is relatively flat, which is very suitable for spacecraft docking.

And if you walk a distance to another hill nearby, you can see a river not far away.

After confirming the location, Chen Ming prepared to land.

Just as the spaceship passed a forest, a group of things suddenly flew up from the forest and pounced on the spaceship.

A group of basketball-sized creatures that look like blue balloons.

Chen Ming's spaceship was slowing down in preparation for landing and did not have time to get rid of them.

Almost instantly these balloon creatures covered the entire porthole, completely blocking the view of Captain Chen Ming's cabin.

At the same time, Chen Ming also felt obvious vibrations on the spacecraft.

It was this group of strange creatures that were crashing into their spaceship.

Chen Ming immediately gave up landing and accelerated the spacecraft, intending to make further considerations after getting rid of these things.

However, after the spacecraft entered the atmosphere, the main engine at the tail was shut down, and only the secondary engine was still running, so the speed could not be increased at all.

They could only barely squeeze aside the balloon creatures blocking their way, and the distance between the spacecraft and them still could not be increased.

Moreover, the spacecraft's main engine does not operate in the atmosphere at all, and the consequences of starting it could be worse than being chased by a group of balloons.

This is the landing site that Chen Ming carefully selected, and he doesn't want to give up so easily.

The only thing we could do was to let the spacecraft fly up for a distance and hover in the sky.

I barely managed to create a little distance between myself and the group of balloons.

Looking at the increasing number of balloons following the spacecraft, Chen Ming frowned, took out the terminal, and took a picture of them.

Then I conducted an image search in the e-books introduced by the Planet.

Chen Ming didn't have much hope at first, but he didn't expect that the terminal would quickly retrieve the corresponding creature.

An introduction page filled with densely packed small characters was displayed on the terminal.

However, Chen Ming's attention was now entirely on controlling the spacecraft and he could not be distracted to watch, so he pressed the voice play button.

"The air jellyfish, also known as the balloon jellyfish, has a docile personality and lives in plains, hills and other areas..."

"Docile? That doesn't look like it."

From their behavior just now and the content captured by the external camera of the spacecraft, it is obvious that this group of jellyfish looks like they want to eat people and are very aggressive.

Could it be that I have stepped into their territory?

As soon as this thought popped up in Chen Ming's mind, the voice broadcast also reported this part.

"…The main way of moving is to wander with the wind, and they have no sense of territory…"

"?"

Chen Ming controlled the spaceship to dodge past several empty jellyfish, and during this interval he glanced at the contents on the terminal.

The text is not clear, but Chen Ming can clearly see the pictures that go with the text.

It can be clearly identified that the empty jellyfish in the picture and the spaceship following and chasing it are of the same species. There is no such thing as other subspecies with more aggressive personalities.

Chen Ming took another look at the large group of empty jellyfish chasing after the spaceship and shook his head slightly.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Chen Ming connected to the cameras of the two machine guns without any psychological burden.

The machine gun turned and fired directly to the rear.

A small touch from a large-caliber bullet would cause these balloon-like jellyfish to deflate and lose their ability to float in the air.

If the bullet hits the jellyfish head-on, it can even shatter it directly, exploding into a mass of pulverized light blue gel and slightly darker body fluids.

Seeing that the machine gun was very effective against the aerial jellyfish, Chen Ming began to shorten the distance at which he circled, gradually guiding the not-so-intelligent aerial jellyfish into a group.

Every shot fired by the machine gun can penetrate this huge balloon cluster composed of empty jellyfish, with extremely high efficiency.

But time passed by minute by minute, the bullets of the machine gun were consumed rapidly, but the number of jellyfish behind the spacecraft did not decrease.

Even some empty jellyfish appeared in other places around and flew towards Chen Ming's spaceship with the wind.

It not only replenishes the number of air jellyfish, but also blocks Chen Ming's flying direction.

Several times, Chen Ming was unable to avoid a large group of empty jellyfish and had to crash into them, smashing them to pieces.

Only the gelatinous substance and their light blue body fluids were left.

The number of bullets was almost reached, while the number of jellyfish hitting the spacecraft was increasing.

Chen Ming was even considering how to escape.

Just when the number of these empty jellyfish became so large that Chen Ming could no longer manage them.

An empty jellyfish approached the port side of the spacecraft and got close to the machine gun. The flash of electric arc from the muzzle slightly touched it.

The next moment, this empty jellyfish.

Exploded.

At the same time, the terminal placed on Chen Ming's lap happened to play this part.

"…the interior is filled with flammable gases and fluids, and is prone to explosion…"

The explosion of this empty jellyfish ignited by the machine gun fire was like a chain reaction.

Directly detonate the body fluids and gel of other jellyfish stuck to the spacecraft armor.

The spacecraft was shaking violently.

The terminal fell to the ground and the voice broadcast stopped abruptly.

"Grass."

Chen Ming managed to maintain his body shape during the violent shaking and quickly fastened his seat belt.

He glanced at the terminal on the ground, not knowing whether it was broken or a button had stopped working due to accidental touching. There were an increasing number of empty jellyfish outside, and only a few bullets left.

Also, the firing rate of the machine guns cannot keep up with the growth rate of the air jellyfish.

Chen Ming is now very clear that it is impossible for him to clear out these empty jellyfish while ensuring the safety of the spacecraft with just the two machine guns of the Iron Ore.

If it is bombed again, the spacecraft may even crash.

Chen Ming did not hesitate. He stabilized the spacecraft, made the bow perpendicular to the ground, rose again, and flew high into the sky.
