A half-day search within a safe distance of the spacecraft would obviously yield no results.
After confirming the plants near the spacecraft, Chen Ming returned to the spacecraft early and began to prepare for the official search tomorrow.
After making sure that he was not in a condition that would cause him to suddenly faint, Chen Ming took the pistol in the storage compartment, selected all six transformation options, and then pressed the transformation button.
Some of the metal in the storage compartment melted into liquid and gathered in Chen Ming's hands.
These metal liquids did not have the cold touch of normal metals. Instead, they made Chen Ming feel warm and comfortable.
This feeling did not last long, and soon the six modifications to the pistol were completed.
The modified pistol is noticeably larger in size and its appearance has also changed significantly.
This pistol looked like an ordinary one before, but now it looks like a professional pistol that only special forces would use.
However, although there are many items displayed on the panel for the modification of the pistol, the appearance also looks numerous.
But in fact, the overall transformation volume is very small, so the material consumption is very small, and most of it is iron, and the mental consumption of Chen Ming is not great either.
So Chen Ming thought about it and clicked on the panel of the protective suit again.
【Lightweight vacuum environment protective clothing·Revised】

The manufacturer of the protective clothing is different from the Xinda Company where Chen Ming works, but that’s not important.
What’s important is that the suits have been modified, and can still be modified.
The scene where Chen Ming has to wear protective clothing later must be when he goes out hunting.
Therefore, Chen Ming needs to strengthen the protective suit's ability to protect against attacks.
For example, a bulletproof interlayer can be added to fatal areas such as the heart and neck.
It doesn't need to be too thick, just enough to protect against the attacks of some small beasts.
If a large beast approaches him without his knowledge, the bulletproof layer may only prolong his pain unless Chen Ming is wearing a full set of heavy space suit.
Furthermore, protective clothing that is too heavy will also affect Chen Ming's subsequent actions.
To be honest, Chen Ming felt that he could do the modification of bulletproof interlayer, but since he was in good condition now, Chen Ming still chose to modify it directly with one click.
After the metal liquid flowed, some parts of the protective suit that correspond to the more vulnerable parts of the human body were slightly thickened, and bulletproof splints were filled inside.
The overall weight has also increased a bit, but it is still within Chen Ming's acceptable range.
After the transformation of the protective suit was completed, Chen Ming's consciousness became a little groggy.
So Chen Ming packed up, returned to the living cabin, and first activated the spacecraft's automatic defense system.
When attacked, it will sound an alarm and either quickly leave or directly counterattack according to the settings.
Chen Ming set the spaceship to take off quickly when it was attacked.
Because Chen Ming was deeply impressed by the previous jellyfish's self-destruction, he didn't want to be blown up again.
Then Chen Ming pressed the option to transform the machine gun and fell into a coma.
The first night of landing on the planet passed peacefully.
At dawn the next day, Chen Ming woke up very early.
Although Chen Ming was still confident about the future exploration, to be on the safe side, he still planned to take a walk around first and familiarize himself with the general environment before expanding outward.
At the same time, you can also build a temporary survival base with the spacecraft as the center.
Of course, you can live directly on the spaceship on a daily basis, but Chen Ming feels that it is necessary to install some simple defense facilities around the spaceship.
Make the spaceship your last line of defense, not the front or only one.
This way you will have room to escape when you encounter danger.
In addition, Chen Ming even had the idea of opening up some wasteland nearby for planting.
But there is no need to rush about this matter for the time being. The seeds have not been found yet, and things have to be done step by step.
And Chen Ming’s plan today.
The terminal first takes photos to automatically record the surrounding terrain, determine the precise terrain around the spacecraft landing point, and obtain a detailed map to facilitate subsequent work.
In fact, this should have been done on the first day Chen Ming drove the spaceship before it landed.
But when the spacecraft just approached the surface, the attack of a group of crazy jellyfish disrupted Chen Ming's rhythm, so that he forgot about it.
If the spacecraft were to take off again to confirm the terrain, the surrounding animals would certainly be frightened again, and the possibility of obtaining hunting rewards would definitely be greatly reduced.
So Chen Ming simply decided to go out and confirm the terrain himself.
Anyway, I need to go out and look for suitable plants to plant and animals that may appear nearby, so it won’t waste time to confirm the surrounding terrain along the way.
There's nothing wrong with doing all three things at once.
The only thing to say is how to arrange this route.
If you want to find crops to grow, it is definitely better to go to the woods.
If you want to hunt, the riverside is definitely more suitable, as there is no animal that does not need water.
If he wants to confirm the surrounding terrain, then the high place is where Chen Ming must go.
To be honest, these three places to go are somewhat conflicting.
But the terrain nearby is perfect.
To the south of the hill where Chen Ming is now is a slope without trees, and to the north is a relatively higher hill.
The vegetation on the hill is relatively denser than that near the spacecraft, and further north, there is a very dense forest.
And to the west of the two hills, there is a river.
Going north and then west, this way you can meet all your needs.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ming climbed from the small hill where the spaceship was located to the foot of the small hill to the north.
On the way, Chen Ming took several photos of the surrounding environment, which were then automatically converted into flat topographic maps in the terminal.
This function does not seem to be built-in to the terminal. Perhaps when maintenance engineer Chen Ming came here to work, he had already considered that one day he would end up on a planet.
A strange thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Continue along the gentle slope on the south side of the hill and you will reach the top of the hill.
Chen Ming heard some rustling sounds in the nearby bushes, like some small animal, but Chen Ming saw nothing.
Chen Ming ignored it for the time being, but found a thick and crooked tree and climbed up with some effort.
It poked its body out from the canopy of purple leaves that were also somewhat curved.
