Chapter Seventeen: He Really Has It (Read More)
In the vacuum environment of the universe, there is almost no friction, so as long as there is an initial speed, it can fly a considerable distance through inertia.
According to common sense, there is no problem at all in reaching Yongye Star.
But unfortunately, just after they were about to arrive at the Evernight Star, the starship's course suddenly changed and flew towards the planet that blocked the sunlight from the Evernight Star.
Xia Lian had at least received the education of this era, so he was no stranger to this situation.
It was obvious that the starship was captured by the planet's gravity.
It seems that the anti-gravity system has also stalled.
Mercury said nothing, her expression did not change, she was as calm as ever.
Because the planet's gravity accelerated, the starship impacted the earth faster and faster. With the friction of the atmosphere, the body began to tremble.
Mercury worked hard to control the fighter plane and maintain its posture. After gliding about hundreds of kilometers on the planet, she shouted.
"Everyone, prepare for collision prevention."
Following her orders.
Everyone, including Xia Lian, found a seat and sat on it.
Xia Lian fastened his seat belt, put his hands on the armrests, and pressed his back tightly against the chair. Soon, with a loud noise, the fighter plane came into contact with the ground. Xia Lian felt his internal organs churning and his blood boiling.
Fortunately, the impact was only the moment it touched the ground.
Mercury's operating ability is very strong, and the starship itself has some auxiliary power systems. The moment it touches the ground, the fighter plane glides on the ground for a long distance as if floating on water, directing all its power toward the plane, and
Not much impact.
After the fighter plane stopped, the remaining operators continued to operate something on the panel in front of the fighter plane, with data flowing on the panel.
"Turn on environment detection."
"The environment is being tested... The detection is successful. The star has an atmosphere, but its main component is carbon dioxide, accounting for up to 95%. The remaining components include: 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, very little oxygen, and water vapor
wait.
The atmosphere is very thin, and the air cannot be directly breathed by humans. The gravity is equivalent to 118% of Helios. The daytime temperature is about -17 degrees Celsius, and the night temperature can reach -95 degrees Celsius, with a temperature difference of 78 degrees Celsius."
"The preliminary conclusion is that it is not a habitable planet, but it has the potential for transformation. There should have been a habitable atmosphere in the past, but due to the disappearance of the magnetic field, the atmosphere was taken away by stellar storm activities."
"Is there a possibility that dangerous creatures are present?"
"no."
"Perform ship self-inspection."
"The thruster is damaged, the electronic components of the anti-gravity system are damaged, the energy system enters protective sleep, the backup energy is turned on, and the integrity of the body shell is 65%..."
While Xia Lian listened quietly, he looked at the scene outside the fighter plane through the projection. At first glance, the surface of the planet was completely barren, with lava filling the ground and gravel everywhere.
The volcanic terrain is interspersed with it, and many canyons are also scattered throughout, resembling the Martian landscape.
He raised his head again and looked at the Evernight Star, which was very close to the planet. Because of the atmosphere, the entire planet seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.
From here, the land structure of Yongye Star can already be seen, but the distance is too far to see whether there are traces of human activities on it.
The propeller of the fighter plane was damaged. If it cannot be repaired, the distance of more than 100,000 kilometers may be an insurmountable chasm.
When he came to his senses, Mercury had already stood up from his seat and came to Xia Lian.
Although the situation is still not optimistic at the moment.
But fortunately, there should be no pursuers for the time being, which gave him free time to observe the reformer.
This reformed man must have been following his mother for more than ten years.
Xia Lian didn't know how old she was, because after undergoing transformation, she had become eternally young.
She is very beautiful, with blue-grey eyes, a straight nose, red lips like roses, and a beauty mark on her lower right that is like a finishing touch. It is not obvious and does not ruin the overall beauty, but it adds a different kind of sexiness.
and maturity.
Especially the short snow-white hair, which is particularly attractive to Chinese people, perfectly matches her skin like gelatin.
Of course, this may not be her true appearance in the past, because the other modified person named Mithril on the right side of Xia Lian looks similar to her. The difference is that there is no mole at the corner of the mouth, and the hair is slightly longer.
Xia Lian's mother has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, so it is possible for her two personal guards to look the same.
Their appearance and hair color can be changed at will, making it easy to disguise, and even their gender can be changed at will.
Xia Lian didn't know the specific principle, but it was probably a special variable bionic mimetic metal that made up their internal organs, skin, and some bones.
They can turn into another person at any time and sneak into any place, and the only thing that can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy is the identification code that only the Helios military knows.
However, this key identification code was leaked, which led to the enemy's cybernetic being infiltrated into Circe's troops.
But at this point, there is no need to doubt the identities of these transformers. After all, they burned the Bahram Star into glass in front of them. If the enemy had stopped it earlier.
"It seems that we can't reach that planet." Xia Lian was the first to speak.
"The hull is seriously damaged, the propellers are damaged, and the energy system goes into sleep.
Although there are maintenance personnel inside the starship, it lacks large-scale engineering equipment and the maintenance time may be quite long.
But the key to the problem is that the night temperature of this planet is around -100°.
We can make it through tonight, but once the starship's backup energy is exhausted, the thermostatic system will go into hibernation.
By then, the non-transformed people here and those without exoskeleton armor will freeze to death."
"We just experienced a fierce battle not long ago, and the average energy system is less than 30% left." Wang Zhen said worriedly.
"And there's also the issue of food."
The original main operator in the main control room said, her name is Aisha, she is of mixed race, has short brown and black hair, has a delicate appearance, and looks like a Japanese person.
"The food synthesis system requires energy. Without energy, there would be no food."
Mercury nodded and said, "The possibility that this planet contains proteins needed by the human body is extremely low, but we will try to search for it. I suggest that Plan B be implemented simultaneously."
Xia Lian raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"Considering the worst-case scenario, and the fact that you are the only son of the Helios family and the only bloodline of the family remaining, at this critical moment, I suggest that you leave your chromosomes for me to keep for safekeeping." Mercury said seriously.
"?"
Xia Lian was stunned and slowly typed a question mark.
Then, he said confusedly: "How to stay?"
Mercury looked around at the rest of the people in the main control room. In addition to the two transformed people, there were four men and one woman.
She turned around and said calmly, "Although I am a combat-type cyborg, my mimicry bionic system can reconstruct the uterus and the corresponding reproduction system."
After understanding what Mercury meant, Xia Lian was silent for a moment and then said: "I think... In this kind of life-and-death situation, what should be considered is how to survive, not how to create humans."
"Just considering the worst case scenario, just in case." Mercury said, as if he was talking about a normal thing.
"Continuing the bloodline of Helios is also one of my responsibilities.
According to the calculation results, the activity of your body and genetic material cells will be at its best in the previous week.
But as time goes by, you will become weaker due to the shortage of food and water, and the vitality of your genetic material cells will also weaken accordingly. There are no genetically modified medical devices here, and the teratogenic rate will increase accordingly.
This will create a major obstacle to continuing the bloodline of the Helios family."
Xia Lian smiled helplessly. This kind of behavior, which regards the continuation of the bloodline as extremely important, is undoubtedly backward and feudal from the perspective of humans in the 21st century.
People at that time would usually criticize this behavior with one sentence: "What, your family has a throne to inherit?"
But the embarrassing thing is that he really does.
