Chapter 978: Landing at Aeo

Chapter 978: Landing at Aeo

When Nolan returned from Earth, she finally lost her card and returned to her normal form.

"It's still comfortable now," Nolan's holographic projection on the bridge turned to the circle. "Before Kaka."

Hao Ren asked about the unloading situation: "Where did you throw that ark? Is everything going well?"

"According to the navigation signal from the Kraken, I sent the ark directly to the bottom of the sea. On the side of Nassato, the Queen of the Siren can see it after returning," Nolan nodded. "No problem." It just caused a little turbulence when the goods were unloaded, but it had no effect on Nassau Ton. Now the Krakens responsible for 'receiving goods' should be busy checking and waterproofing the Ark. So big stuff. Child... enough for them to deal with for a while."

Hao Ren nodded and turned to look at the remaining twelve Ark ships. These huge spacecraft are gradually accelerating away from the drone's nest control area under Nolan's remote control because they use a relatively backward curvature engine, so they have to wait until these ships leave a considerable distance before they can start time-space jumps. Similarly, they When you arrive in Io, you must get out of the hyperspace state and slow down slowly. This process takes three or four days. He glanced at Lawrence, who was next to him: "You have been on my spaceship for the past two days. I am also telling you about some of today's cosmic situations and more truth about the disaster that year."

Time passed by in peace, and the Ark Fleet embarked on a voyage to Aiou as planned.

On the second day of the fleet's acceleration, the Ark Fleet arrived at the "lighting window" about a light-year away from the frontier of the drone at the sub-light speed. The giant turtle rock station then entered the time-out state with the entire fleet and was super Under the speed of light, it has been sailing to the "out of the window" position one and a half light years away from Io. On the third day after leaving the drone's lair, the entire fleet left the hyperspace and left a twisted lens of millions of kilometers on the edge of the Io Solar system. Then Nolan conducted the last inspection of the situation of the twelve arks. It was confirmed that the main functions of all the spacecraft were still intact, and the mechanism related to the landing deformation was also on standby, so the other side of the ship made the last calibration. The mighty giant ship formation re-adjusted its course and headed for the blue water star that was one and five light years away.

When Ao's blue sea appears on the main projection. Lawrence did not say a word for the whole number of minutes.

"Io has no land, your ark is the only island, so you can only guard this sea in the next two hundred years," Carterina looked good after getting the spaceship she wanted, and offered her own tenants. This new home, "We are very fond of such a planet, but it is probably not very comfortable for you... it is a place to stay, but if you want to rebuild civilization and seek development, it is not suitable."

Lawrence still didn't speak. He just stared at the blue sea on the holographic projection and remained silent for a long time.

"Staying?" Lily stunned the old man's back. "Is it still fascinated by Aiou?"

Lawrence suddenly reacted, and he seemed to have just breathed a few breaths from the endless sea of ​​Ioa. He whispered for a while: "...this is the sea..."

"This is just a picture of the camera," Hao Renwei smiled. "Next you will be even more surprised. Nolan, start the Ark landing procedure."

Twelve Ark ships have been decelerated to a state where they can land on the planet at any time, after receiving a remote command from the Giant Turtle. These giant mountains and ships immediately adjusted their posture and began to fall into the dense atmosphere of Aiou. The olive-shaped rough shell of the Ark ship violently rubbed against the atmosphere, gradually shining a red glow. Just as the twelve flame-wrapped mountains generally descend from space to the surface of the planet, the giant turtle rock is followed by the shadow of the throne, and the entire fleet enters the atmosphere of Io.

As the altitude gradually declined, the Ark giant launched a series of additional systems. A translucent, “twisted space” “film” appeared around each spacecraft, which is the effect of gravity twisting devices. This massive gravity control device that wraps the entire spacecraft isolates the spacecraft from the gravitational pull of Io to prevent these giant monsters, which are more than 100 kilometers long, from being twisted into waste in the planet's powerful gravity. iron. As the gravitational pull between the Ark and Io was weakened, the deceleration of these ships gradually reached the end.

The first ship to be close to the sea of ​​Ao is the Ark of the Group. This ancient ship that saved the entire fleet with sacrifice has slowly descended in a solemn manner. The huge airflow around the ark caused the sea to roll up waves and retreat in all directions. After the ark gradually touched the water surface in a horizontal position. The universal adaptive landing gear built into the spacecraft was launched, only to see the heavy black armor layer slowly tilting in a huge roar. The armored belt underneath the spacecraft slowly fell to the sides while dropping a large amount of debris. The pieces that were dropped were the parts that Nolan had cut and embrittled in advance because the system was too old, if not Those parts of the deformation are cut off, and it is impossible to complete a series of subsequent deformations.

After the bottom of the ark was opened, a large number of huge pipes, metal piles, suspension cylinders and immersed various types of detection devices were stretched out from the previously hidden dark cabins. They were immersed in the seawater of Io, which was already thirsty. The ancient equipment of Wannian was finally opened for the first time. On this strange planet, they eagerly collected information about the surrounding environment and then reported it to the Ark's main control computer.

However, the data they reported will not be executed. Nolan has cut off the Ark's main control computer and replaced it with a series of simulation hosts built by the drone group, so that the Ark will not rush to adopt the presets in the program after landing. Action, but put the whole process in a controlled state.

Twelve Ark ships landed one after another, forming a ring-shaped "island" on the vast sea of ​​Aiou. The only intact Ark was surrounded by Nolan. The center. The airflow caused by the landing of these giant spacecraft and the vibration of the hull when the gravity isolation system was released rolled up huge waves on the sea. In a large sea area around the landing zone of the fleet, the storm screamed like a storm, and the waves surged. The drifting rain poured down. The giant turtle Yantai flew around the Ark in this squally shower, confirming that the most important ship did not suffer any damage during the landing.

The various sensors placed inside the Ark of the Throne and the infiltrated cores that penetrated into the Ark control line also sent the latest data, indicating that everything is fine except for the slight influx of the two compartments at the bottom of the spacecraft. The process is smoother than expected.

Nolan read the latest data and reported with Hao Ren: "The water detection and atmospheric detectors have been activated, and the Ark's living system is updating the gas pool and the reservoir. These 10,000-year-old things can finally be added a little. In addition, those spacecrafts are still using deep-water radar to detect the seabed topography, but the sea of ​​Ao Ou is too deep. The seabed resources are unattainable to each other. I decided to temporarily turn off those radars and it will not be used anyway."

Hao Ren nodded: "Notify the drone group, send some engineering units to come and start repairing these ships."

Nolan issued a call for the drone group and remotely controlled those arks into the equipment shutdown process.

After 10,000 years of continuous operation, these ancient spacecraft finally landed on a planet, and their seriously overloaded machines finally took a break. Of course, the machines in the spacecraft cannot be turned off all at once. During the period of maintenance before the drone group, the equipment will take turns to rest and restart, which will provide conditions for the entire maintenance process.

While Nolan was busy with these technical operations, Hao Ren turned to Lawrence: "The next most important part is to open the Ark dome. Do you confirm that the people in the spacecraft can accept what will happen next?"

Lawrence nodded slowly: "They will see the sky sooner or later. It is better to do so when they are willing to believe what I said."

"Wait," Lily suddenly exclaimed. "You intend to open the outer shell of the spacecraft?!" (To be continued.)
