Chapter 19 The Next Day
After half a day, searching only within a safe distance near the spacecraft obviously would not yield any 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 confirming that he was not in a state of fainting, Chen Ming took the pistol in the storage cabin, selected all six transformation options, and then pressed the transformation button.
Some metals in the storage cabin melted into liquid and gathered in Chen Ming's hands.
These metal liquids did not have the cold touch of normal metals, but made Chen Ming feel a warm and comfortable feeling.
This feeling did not last too long, and soon the six transformations of the pistol were completed.
The modified pistol was obviously larger in size and its appearance had also changed significantly.
Before, this pistol looked like an ordinary pistol, but now it looks like a professional pistol that only special forces can use.
However, although the transformation of the pistol has many items displayed on the panel and looks like a lot.
But in fact, the overall transformation is very small, so the material consumption is very small, and most of it is iron consumption, and it does not consume much mental energy for Chen Ming.
So Chen Ming thought about it and clicked on the panel of the protective suit again.
[Lightweight vacuum environment protective suit·modified]
[Manufacturer: Speed Technology Company]
[Electricity: 100%]
[Oxygen: 100%]
[Modified parts: self-recovering oxygen component, radiation protection interlayer, gas quality detector]
[Durability: 96%]
[Performable operations: repair/modification]
The manufacturer of the protective suit is different from the Xinda Company where Chen Ming works, but this is not important.
The important thing is that the protective suit has been modified and can still be modified.
The scene where Chen Ming will wear protective clothing in the future must be when he goes out hunting.
Therefore, Chen Ming has to strengthen the protective ability of the protective suit itself against attacks.
For example, add a bulletproof interlayer to the fatal parts such as the heart and neck.
It doesn’t need to be too thick, just enough to prevent the sudden attack of some small beasts.
If a large beast approaches him without paying attention, the effect of the bulletproof layer may only prolong his pain unless Chen Ming wears a full set of heavy space suits.
In addition, too heavy protective clothing will also affect Chen Ming's subsequent actions.
To be honest, Chen Ming feels that he can do the bulletproof layer modification, but since he is in good condition now, Chen Ming still chooses to modify it directly with one click.
After the metal liquid flows, some parts of the protective suit that correspond to the more vulnerable parts of the human body are slightly thickened, and the inside is filled with bulletproof splints.
The overall weight is also heavier, but it is still within Chen Ming's acceptable range.
After the modification of the protective suit was completed, Chen Ming's consciousness was a little drowsy.
So Chen Ming packed up, returned to the living cabin, and started the spacecraft's automatic defense system first.
When attacked, an alarm is issued, and it is set to leave quickly or counterattack directly.
Chen Ming set it to take off quickly when the spaceship was attacked, because the explosion of the empty jellyfish had left a deep impression on Chen Ming, and 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 safely. At dawn the next day, Chen Ming woke up very early. He put on the modified protective suit, took the terminal and advanced plant analyzer, two equipment he would need later, and the most important pistol. Although Chen Ming was confident about the subsequent exploration, he planned to walk around first to get familiar with the general environment before expanding outward for the sake of safety. At the same time, a temporary survival base can be built with the spaceship as the center. Of course, you can live directly on the spaceship, but around the spaceship, Chen Ming feels that some simple defense facilities must be installed. Let the spaceship be your last line of defense, not the front or only one. In this way, you will have room to pull when you encounter danger. In addition, Chen Ming even had the idea of opening up a few wastelands nearby for planting.
But there was no rush for this matter for the time being. The seeds had not yet been found, and things had to be done step by step.
And Chen Ming's plan today.
was to first use the terminal to take photos and automatically record the surrounding terrain, determine the precise terrain around the spacecraft landing point, and obtain a detailed map to facilitate future work.
In fact, this should have been done on the first day Chen Ming drove the spacecraft before it landed.
But when the spacecraft just approached the surface, the attack of the group of crazy jellyfish disrupted Chen Ming's rhythm, so that he forgot about it.
If the spaceship takes off again to confirm the terrain, the surrounding animals will definitely be frightened again, and the possibility of hunting and harvesting will definitely be greatly reduced.
So Chen Ming simply decided to go out and confirm the terrain by himself.
Anyway, he needs to go out to find suitable plants to plant and find animals that may appear nearby, and it won’t waste more time to confirm the surrounding terrain on the way.
There is no problem doing three things at the same time.
The only thing to say is how to arrange this route.
If you want to find crops that can be planted, it is definitely better to go to the woods.
If you want to find hunting targets, then the riverside is definitely more suitable, and no animals will not need water.
And if you want 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 nearby terrain 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 near the spaceship, and further north, there is a very dense forest.
And there happened to be a river to the west of the two hills.
Going north and then west, this way can just meet all your needs.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ming climbed from the hill where the spacecraft was located to the foot of the hill to the north.
On the way, Chen Ming took a few photos of the surrounding environment, and then they were automatically converted into flat terrain maps in the terminal.
This function does not seem to be built-in to the terminal. Perhaps when the maintenance engineer Chen Ming came here to work, he had considered that there would be a day when he would be stranded on the planet in the future.
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 come to the top of the hill.
Chen Ming heard a rustling sound in the nearby bushes, like some small animal, but Chen Ming didn't see anything.
Chen Ming didn't care about it for the time being, but found a thick and curved tree and climbed up with some effort.
It poked its body out from the treetops which were made up of purple leaves that were also somewhat curved.
