Chapter 11 Grand Canyon

What's going on?

In the cabin of boat No. 1, Li Meng, wearing heavy golden power armor, sat on the first row of seats on the left.

He was not the only one in the cabin, there were also two squads of Star Army soldiers.

They sat on the seats on the left and right rows.

The magnetic device behind them locked their armor tightly and fixed them on their seats.

In order to fight in a vacuum, the soldiers of the Star Army changed into vacuum combat suits.

The overall color was silver-gray, and the armor covered almost every part.

The helmet was also full-coverage, and there was a medium-sized backpack on the back.

There were batteries in the backpack to power the vacuum combat suit.

Although the vacuum combat suit did not have a power system, it also had some electronic instruments and sensors.

These all needed power support to operate.

The laser rifles in the hands of the soldiers also needed batteries to charge,

and oxygen...

In order to extend the combat time of the soldiers.

The backpack did not carry gaseous oxygen, but a synthetic dry powder.

It can be converted into oxygen after electrolysis.

This allows the soldiers to have a flight time of up to seven days.

Something seems to have happened to boat No. 1...

Even though he was in the power armor, Li Meng felt a clear tremor.

The tremor became stronger and stronger, as if there were signs of weightlessness...

This made Li Meng a little nervous.

It was the first time to go out on an exploration mission, so don't fall here.

Compared to Li Meng, the other Star Army soldiers wearing vacuum combat uniforms seemed much calmer.

They sat upright, holding the laser rifles in their hands tightly.

Suddenly, the violent tremor disappeared...

The transport boat returned to an extremely stable state.

A clearer roar of the engine echoed in my ears...

Outside, at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, boat No. 2 caught up with boat No. 1.

The two transport boats flew one after the other, leaving two long-lasting wakes in the sky.

"Click..."

In boat No. 1, Li Meng unlocked the magnetic lock.

He stood up and walked towards the cockpit.

Every step on the ground will make a mechanical sound and a metal "clang".

"What happened just now? Why is it so vibrating?"

Li Meng asked as he walked into the narrow cockpit.

Looking out the window, Li Meng could see the vast sky and rolling mountains.

The driver quickly replied: "Reply to the Regent, due to the deviation of the orbital angle, the friction when entering the atmosphere was too large, and the speed could not be slowed down, so there was a vibration phenomenon. It should not be a big problem, but this transport boat is too old, and the hull structure has aged. It is impossible to force the engine to change its attitude, so it can only glide and slow down."

So that's it...

Li Meng didn't ask any more questions, just looked at the sky and the earth outside the window.

The transport boat was lowering its altitude and getting closer and closer to the ground.

In Li Meng's eyes, the transport boat flew over a towering mountain.

On the other side of the mountain was an endless wasteland.

There was no green vegetation, let alone water.

Dry earth and exposed rocks are the only reflections of the wasteland.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and pieces of sand dance with the wind.

"Regent, we are about to reach the coordinate point, and it is estimated to take three minutes..."

Three minutes?

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

The speed of the transport boat has dropped to subsonic speed.

The wasteland is so vast that the place that can be reached in three minutes is a desolate Gobi desert.

Something in the wasteland can be seen from a long distance.

However, there is nothing in the place that can be seen.

Is the task given by "Zero" to fly around the coordinate point?

"Hey, this is..."

As he flew, a large canyon suddenly appeared in Li Meng's eyes.

Perhaps because of the altitude, Li Meng did not find it before.

It is very long, almost dividing the wasteland in two.

"Regent, we have arrived near the coordinates..."

Closer, closer...

On the wasteland a few miles away, a huge canyon lies across the wasteland.

Looking left and right, there is no end in sight.

"Go to the canyon and have a look..."

"Yes, lower the altitude..."

Outside, led by boat No. 1, the two transport boats began to descend in altitude.

From the original altitude of nearly a thousand meters, it quickly dropped to a hundred meters, and then to dozens of meters.

The rumbling sound of the engine echoed in the wasteland...

Above the wasteland, two transport boats whizzed past one after another and flew into the Grand Canyon.

When the sight in front of him changed, the scene in the canyon suddenly appeared in Li Meng.

"This is..."

However, everything he saw made Li Meng look incredible.

The canyon was unexpectedly large, several miles wide and more than a mile deep.

What stunned Li Meng was not the size of the canyon, but something on the rock wall.

There were huge steps on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.

There was a huge stone seat on each step.

There was a huge stone statue sitting on each stone seat.

They had human appearance, huge bodies, and each was no less than 20 meters tall.

Like giants...

They were densely packed and spread to the end of the sight.

The scale was so grand that it was unimaginable.

The two pilots were also surprised.

They were also frightened by the scene in the canyon.

"Land in the valley and notify boat No. 2 to let them continue to explore forward..."

"Uh... yes..."

The pilot came to his senses and called boat No. 2.

"Call boat No. 2, we are about to land, you continue to explore forward, this is the order of the Regent!"

"Understood, boat No. 2 received, over!"

Outside, boat No. 1, flying in the canyon, suddenly dropped in altitude and rushed to the bottom of the valley.

Boat No. 2 continued to move forward, whizzed over boat No. 1, and quickly went away along the canyon.

The engine roared, the air waves rolled...

At the bottom of the valley, in the rolling sand, boat No. 1 slowly landed.

The bottom of the valley was very flat, with obvious signs of artificial construction.

It was just a layer of sand, making it impossible to confirm whether there were traces of artificial construction under the sand.

Before the sand raised by the engine fell, the hatch at the rear of boat No. 1 slowly opened...

Two teams of Star Army soldiers rushed out of the cabin.

"Be alert all around, hurry, watch your feet..."

With the sound of "clanging" footsteps, soldiers in silver-gray vacuum combat uniforms rushed out of the sand.

They set up a cordon around the transport boat.

As the yellow sand gradually fell, Li Meng walked out of the boat.

Outside the boat, Li Meng looked around.

Then he walked towards the nearest rock wall.

"Team 1, follow up, Team 2, guard the transport boat..."

Seeing the Regent leaving alone, the Star Army soldiers responded.

A team hurried forward and caught up with Li Meng.
