Chapter 6
The universe is vast, and light is constantly moving. There is no sound and no support, and you can easily lose your way if you are not careful. However, here, there is no exact or specific direction.
Regardless of east, south, west, north, up, down, left or right, the new planet has a layered protective shield extending from the outside. The markers are fixed in position by the gravity dispersed by the outermost protective shield, and are divided into one, two and three orbits through the decreasing trend of the gravity of the protective shield.
The farther away from the protective cover, the more difficult it is to place the markers. On the second-line track, it basically takes more than ten minutes to see a marker, and the third-line track is almost invisible. Many times, the pioneers need to make temporary markers in advance to confirm the location.
Jiang Xiangyang set the tracking mark on the first track, held the thruster in his hand, and headed straight for the third track.
Of the more than 30 people who came in before, more than 20 have been staying on the first line, seven or eight are wandering at the intersection of the first and second lines, and only two or three are trying to move towards the middle of the second line.
Their movements were restrained and cautious, as if taking one more step would lead them into the abyss of hell. So when Jiang Xiangyang flashed past their sight, he immediately became the most conspicuous presence.
After leaving the second track, Jiang Xiangyang suddenly pressed the thruster, turned around nimbly, and looked straight ahead, quietly at the place he was leaving.
His body floated farther and farther away under the force of the thrust. The reddish-brown new planet was reflected in his clear pupils, becoming smaller and smaller, gradually turning into a vague red dot and gradually becoming blurred.
In this way, we arrived at the third track, then the middle section of the third track, and finally outside the third track.
Just when Jiang Xiangyang was about to leave the third track——
Bang.
In reality, no sound was made. The spacesuit's automatic protection function activated, and Jiang Xiangyang's movements were suddenly stopped by a force pulling on his chest. A faint light extended from his chest, connecting with the protective shield of the new planet, as if preventing the pioneer from wandering beyond its control.
This is also a protection for the pioneers, preventing some newcomers from accidentally drifting outside the third-line track, where there will be no patrol mechas to rescue them in time.
For a new planet that is short of supplies, being able to send more than a dozen mechas to support the development is already considered to be doing their best.
Jiang Xiangyang exhaled slowly a few times, turned his head to look at the stars in the distance that seemed close at hand, retracted his gaze, and went down again, stopping next to the nearest floating meteorite.
The small ball was pulled by the light and remained fixed within one meter of Jiang Xiangyang. Without Jiang Xiangyang making any gestures, the camera function was directly turned on and connected to the alliance's largest barrage platform.
With a ding, the signal was connected, and a small live broadcast room number quietly lit up in the channel. Compared with other brightly colored and colorful room covers, the dark and profound starry sky map seemed refreshing and could arouse people's desire to explore.
The microphone was clipped to Jiang Xiangyang's collar. He cleared his throat, turned his back to the starry sky, and smiled broadly: "Hi everyone, this is 'Towards the Sunshine'. Today we are still mining meteorites on the edge of the three-line track..."
The opening remarks were just the same few sentences. After the introduction, the young man took out the excavation equipment and began to work on the meteorite. His movements were careful and the process was smooth and fast, without any sense of stagnation or obstruction.
He was explaining while doing things, his voice was clear and gentle. The male voice, which was specially slowed down, lingered and had a magnetic quality, could simply penetrate into one's bones and make people feel relaxed like a spring breeze.
However, whether they were viewers who entered out of genuine curiosity about the pioneering tag or those who clicked in by mistake, most of them could only last for a dozen minutes, causing the number of viewers to fluctuate, and ultimately it could only be steadily fixed below a double-digit number starting with 2.
On Station X, where traffic is measured in billions, this number of viewers is pitifully small.
In fact, if you think about it, although there are not many male god voices with unique talents, they are not rare in X stations where Internet celebrities are everywhere. If you don’t really have a special skill, no one can get any special treatment here.
What's more, not every male idol's live broadcast room can be so boring.
Collecting meteorite components, searching for new resources, confirming local locations, distinguishing radiation frequencies and fluctuations, and detecting gravitational trends and stability are all things that pioneers need to do. It seems tiring and complicated, and in fact it is really tiring and complicated. After the complexity, it is still repetitive and boring.
Find a meteorite, dissect it, and analyze it to see if there's any new material. If there is, leave it, otherwise move on to the next one. After arriving at a certain location, stop for a dozen minutes to detect the radiation and the wavelength of the rays, then record it. Then, find another meteorite, detect it again, and mine it again, repeating the cycle.
Although there are special instruments for exploration, energy replenishment is a big problem. In most cases, it is not allowed to go back halfway because meteorites will float. There is no direction or landmark in the universe. As a tiny individual, you cannot find your original direction at all. Whenever encountering this situation, the pioneers need to calm down, focus their energy, use the most primitive techniques of the working people, and smash them with ordinary tools.
There is no fixed number for the hardness of meteorites, so whether you will get blisters on your hands depends entirely on luck.
According to the basic probability obtained from statistics, most people are unlucky. They can always use various incredible possibilities to cleverly avoid the embrace of good luck.
It takes at least three hours of continuous work to see results, plus the subsequent repeated verification, elimination of accidental situations and other troublesome things, and five hours just passed.
Most of the day passed in the blink of an eye.
The work is hard, tiring and the hours are long, but these are not the real reasons why people avoid the profession of pioneer.
【Yangyang! 】
Little G's warning sound directly vibrated into Jiang Xiangyang's brain through brain waves. Jiang Xiangyang stopped explaining and subconsciously grabbed the nearest meteorite. The next moment, a huge impact force suddenly hit, knocking Jiang Xiangyang and the meteorite away!
