Chapter 21 Crazy Animals

Two days passed quickly.

Three days after Chen Ming found the orange fruit, it was the fifth day after the spacecraft landed.

With Chen Ming's efforts, the temporary survival base around the spacecraft has taken shape.

Two days ago, Chen Ming cleared a whole piece of weed-free open space next to the spacecraft, starting from the place where the orange fruit was planted.

Using the electric saw in the repair kit, after a slight modification, he used it as a tree-cutting tool and cut down some trees in the surrounding woods.

Then a simple fence was installed around the spacecraft, and some traps were set.

It has to be said that Chen Ming's terminal really has everything.

Books such as "Wild Survival Guide" and "Simple Environmental Trap Arrangement" are second only to those professional books related to maintenance in the terminal.

It is simply that all the knowledge of survival in the natural environment is stuffed into the terminal.

Although Chen Ming does not have much time to read it completely, it is still no problem to read some of the content he needs now.

So the temporary camp was built in the process of Chen Ming's exploration.

In addition to the work near the spacecraft, Chen Ming also basically checked all the plants around.

In the current autumn, Chen Ming found two other edible crops without much difficulty.

One looks similar to rice, but there are many lavender hairs on the ears, which look like flowers from a distance.

And its name is very vivid, flower rice.

The other is a crop that looks very similar to soybeans, with fruits and seeds wrapped in pods, and its name is very simple, purple beans.

Chen Ming found only a few samples of these two plants, but the number of seeds of each variety is large, so Chen Ming planted some in the hydroponic tank.

The three different seeds of orange fruit, flower rice and purple beans almost filled the space of the hydroponic tank.

The extra seeds, like the seeds of orange fruit, were all planted by Chen Ming in the land that was reclaimed in the past two days.

The insect eggs and insect corpses that had been kept in the cold storage room were squeezed into juice by Chen Ming using a nutrient solution extractor... After being squeezed into nutrient solution, they were sprinkled into the soil and became the first batch of nutrients for this field.

After Chen Ming realized that he could get meat through hunting, the insects and eggs that were originally used as the last backup food became useless.

They ended their mission after letting Chen Ming understand the working process of the nutrient solution precipitator.

However, the hydroponic tank is not completely without space.

Chen Ming also deliberately left a small space in the corner of the hydroponic tank.

It is used to store the herbs on Ruimu that he found by comparing with the book "Common Herbal Preparation (Raymu)" in the doctor's terminal.

Chen Ming is very clear about the importance of medicine. Even if he is not sick or injured now, this medicine is absolutely indispensable.

With sufficient nutrient solution, the hydroponic tank maintains the original natural environment of Ruimu, and the careful care of agricultural machinery.

The growth rate of crops in the hydroponic tank can only be described as rapid, and it can almost be said that they are growing visible to the naked eye.

As long as the first batch of crops are cultivated and the second generation can be cultivated stably, there will be a steady supply of renewable crops and herbs that can ensure their own health on the spacecraft.

Next, as long as he waits for enough harvest from hunting, or enough crops to grow in the fields outside, and then packs enough survival food to last for half a year, and then leaves a certain amount of surplus.

Chen Ming can let the spacecraft take off again and prepare to leave.

In the past two days, Chen Ming has also found many traces of animals near the spacecraft.

Although he used a searchlight to scare away the animals that came to peek at night that night, he could clearly feel that the animals became bolder the next day.

Last night was even more outrageous. Chen Ming was awakened in the middle of the night by the moving object alarm he set for the external camera of the spacecraft.

He found that after he fell asleep, some animals even approached the place where he planted vegetables.

If it weren't for the fence he prepared in advance, Chen Ming might have suffered a loss.

So Chen Ming's task today is to strengthen the fence and create traps to prevent the situation last night.

If the monitoring fails a little, the crops planted by Chen Ming outside will suffer.

The second is to try to track the traces of a small animal among the animals that came to spy on the spaceship last night.

The traces of this animal are the most obvious compared to the other types, so Chen Ming can't just let it go.

After watering the crops outside, Chen Ming put on his equipment and prepared to go out.

But just as Chen Ming was about to leave, he suddenly found that to the east of the hill where the spaceship was located, there was an animal similar to the deer he had seen at night.

Chen Ming suddenly became energetic, raised the gun in his hand, and felt a little excited in his heart.

Is he finally going to hunt his first prey?

Wait, Chen Ming suddenly found something wrong.

As the animal, probably a deer, showed its head, several more deer came out from behind the hill.

They were in a strange state, with dull eyes, bared teeth, and saliva constantly flowing from the corners of their mouths.

This looked a little abnormal.

Chen Ming frowned and stopped walking out of the spaceship.

Somehow, the more Chen Ming looked at the group of deer, the more he felt that they were very similar to the group of empty jellyfish he had encountered before.

To be on the safe side, Chen Ming's consciousness connected to the two modified machine guns of the spaceship.

He also glanced at the panels of the two machine guns.

[22mm machine gun·modified]

[Type: Small kinetic weapon]

[Manufacturer: Sinda Rockwell Weapons Company]

[Ammunition capacity: 1000/1000]

[Effective killing range: 2000 meters]

[Rate of fire: 800 rounds/minute]

[Modified parts: chain feed, double barrel, stabilizer bracket, high-strength barrel]

[Durability: 100%]

[Performable operations: Replace/modify]

This is the strongest weapon Chen Ming can make at present, and its firepower is at least three times higher than that of the previous machine gun.

Chen Ming was confident that he could destroy all the empty jellyfish in that number at the beginning, and the deer in front of him were just a sprinkle of water.

At this time.

This group of deer that suddenly appeared seemed to have discovered the spaceship, and suddenly charged towards the spaceship without any warning.

Chen Ming had been prepared for a long time.

The two machine guns immediately opened fire.

The metal storm almost covered the entire herd of deer.

But these deer seemed to have lost their fear function.

The fierce gunshots, flames, and fallen fellows could not stop them from charging towards the spacecraft.

Chen Ming even saw a deer with two broken front legs, a stomach torn by bullets, and internal organs spilling all over the ground. It still stared with red eyes and squirmed towards the spacecraft. After struggling for a while, it died.

There was definitely something wrong with this group of deer.

Chen Ming did not feel the joy of getting prey at this time, but was filled with confusion and uneasiness.

This planet seemed to be somewhat unwelcoming to him.
