Chapter 15 Location

After a simple wash, Chen Ming sat on the chair in the captain's room.

He looked at the planet named Ruimu not far from the spacecraft.

Its overall color is blue, green and purple.

Although he had worked on a space station orbiting a planet, he was still unsure about what was on the planet.

He only knew that the blue one was the ocean, and the remaining green and purple were the land, with two similar but somewhat different natural environments.

Oh, yes, there is a creature that Chen Ming already knows.

There is a delicious local specialty in the ocean of the planet, a blue arthropod similar to a lobster, which Chen Ming was lucky enough to eat after entering the space station.

Because of the small output and difficulty in preservation, it basically has no export value, and is often used as a snack for space station staff.

Although it was just a memory for Chen Ming, the identical faces of the maintenance engineer Chen Ming and the time traveler Chen Ming, and the similar life trajectory, made Chen Ming often immerse himself in it.

Chen Ming does not reject this situation and feelings, because it allows him to better integrate into this world.

In general, although Chen Ming didn't know much, it didn't matter.

Because there were several books on the terminals of himself and the doctor with a brief introduction to the planet.

You can read them before landing and use these intelligence to analyze your future.

But not immediately.

Because the spacecraft is about to enter the dense area of ​​asteroids and start today's mineral collection.

Chen Ming pulled his attention back from Raymu and began to control two machine guns to protect his spacecraft.

As soon as he entered this area, Chen Ming found something wrong.

The density of asteroids here is a bit too high.

After flying for a while, asteroids on the port side and directly below the hull almost simultaneously entered the dangerous distance.

Once Chen Ming took the initiative to smash an asteroid, the fragments of the asteroid are likely to touch several other asteroids around that did not affect the spacecraft.

Then the asteroid continued to affect the surrounding asteroids, and a series of chain reactions made Chen Ming quite exhausted.

If it weren't for Chen Ming's means of controlling the spacecraft, it was almost equivalent to the brain controlling his body, and the movement was extremely smooth.

Otherwise, the Iron Ore, which had just entered this area, might have been hit by several holes.

Under Chen Ming's control, most of the asteroids that hit the spacecraft were dodged.

Those that could not be dodged were basically all smashed, trying to minimize the damage to the spacecraft.

But even so.

After ten hours.

The Iron Ore still ran out of the asteroid-dense area of ​​the asteroid belt with holes all over its body.

The durability of the entire hull armor dropped by 20% to 30%, which directly turned the spacecraft that Chen Ming specially repaired yesterday back to its original state, and even more broken.

But fortunately, everything was worth it.

With the modified Type II mining laser, in the high-density asteroid belt that Chen Ming actively selected, Chen Ming successfully spent a day collecting enough materials to repair the spacecraft's take-off and landing, and there was even a lot of surplus.

However, Chen Ming was not in a hurry to start repairing at this time.

Because he wanted to stay in the best condition to go to Raymu, and repairing the spacecraft was obviously a behavior that would make him in a bad state.

So even if the repair is completed today, Chen Ming will not rush down.

It is better to rest early and repair before resting to ensure that he has enough energy to deal with everything that may happen the next day.

And he has other things to do now.

Determine the landing location of the spacecraft.

At this time, the spacecraft and the space station are both on the sun-facing side of the planet. Most of the planets below are illuminated by the light of the stars, and the general terrain of the planet can be easily seen from space.

Chen Ming opened his personal terminal and called up the content related to Ramu on it.

At the same time, he recalled the knowledge he learned in high school geography.

Although he has almost forgotten it, Chen Ming still remembers some common sense or important content.

For example, the deflection angle of Ramu is similar to that of the earth, but it is slightly larger.

Therefore, the position close to the equator is likely to be similar to the earth, with tropical or subtropical climate.

This area should be more suitable for finding the crops he needs.

And the most likely location for crops to grow is naturally the plain area with rivers.

Chen Ming happened to look at the terminal, which was showing the overall terrain map of the planet.

After a simple thought and searching for information, he determined the subtle differences between the climate and terrain of Ramu and the Earth.

Chen Ming determined the preferred landing location.

It is about 30 degrees north latitude on the planet.

The color of this area seen from space is green, which Chen Ming finds more pleasing to the eye.

The overall terrain is a coastal plain, surrounded by hills near the inland, and has a subtropical climate.

It is simply a perfect place for growing crops.

And now at this time and this place, it is exactly autumn on Raymu.

The weather is fine and sunny, and a large number of plants are mature, waiting for Chen Ming to find them.

There is also better news for Chen Ming.

Raymu's revolution period is much shorter than that of the Earth, which means that its seasons change quite quickly and the duration of each season is also very short.

This also leads to the short growth period of many plants on the planet.

Chen Ming needs such crops.

After determining the landing location.

Chen Ming looked at the content of other terrains and regions on the planet in the book again.

It took some time to pick a few alternative landing sites in case of force majeure after landing and being forced to start looking for a suitable landing place again.

Instead of being in a hurry at that time, it is better to prepare in advance now.

After Chen Ming determined several alternative locations, it was close to rest time.

So Chen Ming lay on the bed in the living cabin.

The picture of the engine cabin appeared in his eyes.

There is a narrow maintenance passage leading to the bottom of the spacecraft in the engine cabin.

Here are the circuits, heat pipes, and landing modules that connect the entire spacecraft.

Although Chen Ming really wanted to try it himself, it would be better to rely on a stable panel to repair it before his personal safety was completely guaranteed.

Chen Ming continued to connect the camera in the maintenance channel and opened the panel of the landing module.

Several different metal liquids flowed out of the storage compartment after the repair button was pressed.

Wrapped the inside and outside of the spacecraft, full of damaged landing modules.

The buffer module with the most damage in the entire landing system was repaired first.

Then the positioning module, landing gear module and finally the overall circuit connection.

After a period of time that was slightly dull compared to the previous intrusion into the dense asteroid belt.

The landing module was back online.

The original "damage" on the panel also became "in operation".

Chen Ming closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, at least for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming sat in the captain's room early.

Looking at the planet outside the porthole that was gradually occupying the entire field of vision of the spacecraft, my heartbeat was somehow speeding up.

This should be the result of the fear and excitement of facing the unknown.

As the spacecraft completely locked the landing position scheduled yesterday.

Chen Ming knew that the time had come.

He took a deep breath and controlled the spacecraft to fly towards the distant planet.
