Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

A few minutes ago.

Xia Wanyi listened to the communication sound coming from the communication device and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not occur.

Hematite comes from the first moon of the Sun, and the probability of an advanced civilization on this planet has suddenly decreased a lot.

"Beep!"

A crisp reminder sounded in the planetary landing vehicle.

[Current external wind speed: 25km/h! ]

Xia Wanyi, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, was stunned.

She remembered that the wind speed was still 20km/h just now?

Although she didn't know the reason, she still felt a little alert in her heart.

On this Dawn Star, where the atmospheric density is far higher than that of the Earth, any change in wind speed will cause these crew members to pay great attention.

The next moment.

Feng Yuanliang's loud shout came from the communication device!

"... Run! Run!!"

Xia Wanyi's body trembled violently, and her heart, which had been a little relaxed, was lifted up again.

She quickly raised her head and cast her eyes on the two teammates a hundred meters away.

Perhaps because of the increased wind speed, more yellow sand fell from the stone wall.

Two figures were looming in the yellow sand.

It can be vaguely seen that with the help of exoskeleton armor, they quickly grabbed the drilling equipment on the ground and ran quickly towards the planetary lander.

"Academician Feng, what happened?!"

Without time to think, she turned on the communication device to ask Feng Yuanliang, unbuckled the seat belt on the co-pilot, turned over and crawled towards the main driver next to her.

"Switch..." Maybe because of the wind and sand, the electromagnetic wave communication signal is no longer stable, and bursts of electric current sound are also emitted in the communication device.

At this time, Xia Wanyi has already sat in the main driver.

She quickly fastened her seat belt and skillfully turned several switches on the console.

[Switch to the long-distance communication channel, the communication protocol switch is successful. ]

[The planetary lander is starting...]

[The power mode is switching...]

A few faint words appeared in the holographic projection.

"…Earth calls Exploration Team No. 19, please reply."

Fang Xu's voice came from the communication device.

"Academician Fang, you go!" Xia Wanyi said, stepping on the "accelerator".

The humming sound of the engine came from the soles of her feet.

The powerful recoil instantly pressed everyone to their seats!

"Sudden emergency!" Hearing Xia Wanyi's response, Fang Xu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "The storm is about to form, pick up the team members immediately!"

Xia Wanyi responded without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Bruno, go to the airlock and prepare to pick up!"

"Joey, locate the nearest shelter on the map!"

"…"

After a series of orders were issued, she pursed her lips hard and stared at the team members in the distance.

Under the endless yellow sand, the figures of the two looked particularly weak.

…

[Current wind speed: 39km/h]

[Exoskeleton armor power output: 99%]

[Danger! Please return to the planetary landing vehicle immediately! 】

In the helmet AR display, bright red warning text kept flashing.

Hong Fan ignored it, just crouched down, controlling the exoskeleton armor to hold the drilling rod in front of him tightly.

"Hurry!"

He looked at the planetary landing vehicle speeding towards him with bloodshot eyes, his face flushed, several thick blue veins popped out on his neck, and he roared in a low voice: "Hurry up!!"

[Warning! ! ]

[Current wind speed: 41km/h! ]

[Exoskeleton armor power output: 100%! ]

The numbers in the AR display jumped again.

"Click..."

Hong Fan heard a slight sound from the exoskeleton armor.

Andrew's shout came from the communication device: "Captain Hong!!"

"The drilling rod can't hold it anymore!!"

Hong Fan turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of Andrew.

Perhaps because of the soil, Andrew's drilling rod has tilted slightly.

And the tilt is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Hong Fan quickly glanced in the direction of the planetary landing vehicle.

Because of the increase in wind speed, the speed of the planetary landing vehicle has been greatly reduced compared to the original speed.

"Hong Fan! Hold on for another 5 seconds!!"

Xia Wanyi's voice came from the communication device: "Only five seconds!!"

Through the yellow sand, Hong Fan could vaguely see that the hatch on the side of the planetary landing vehicle had been opened!

"Captain Hong!!!" Andrew's voice was full of fear.

Hong Fan turned his head again.

Countless yellow sand and fine gravel poured on the helmet like raindrops, making a series of ping-pong sounds.

Although he knew that the helmet would not be damaged, the scene in front of him still made him feel extremely frightened!

Through the gravel and sand like a rain curtain, Hong Fan saw Andrew's condition clearly.

Just one glance, his heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The inclination angle of the drilling rod in front of Andrew has reached the limit!

In order to reduce wind resistance, Andrew's body was as close to the ground as possible, and the transparent part of the helmet was facing Hong Fan directly.

Although he couldn't see the helmet clearly, Hong Fan could see Andrew looking at him with hope.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

The next moment, he let go of the hand that was tightly holding the drilling rod and stretched out his hand to Andrew in front of him!

"Andrew!"

"Come!!"

The short and powerful words in the communication device rekindled a glimmer of hope in Andrew's heart!

He raised his head and quickly observed the terrain.

The wind came from the front, that is, the A2 plain.

Hong Fan was behind him, and the planetary landing vehicle was behind Hong Fan, that is, the direction of the A1 plain.

According to the current wind speed growth trend, by then, even if he arrived at Hong Fan's side, their exoskeleton armor would not last long!

What's more, as the wind speed increases, the speed of the planetary landing vehicle will decrease again.

The original five seconds may be extended to ten seconds, fifteen seconds!

With this increase and the decrease, there is only one way to go for them!

He lowered his head and looked at the sand in front of him, and a crazy idea gradually emerged in his mind.

We must not sit and wait for death!

They must take the initiative to attack!

"Captain Hong, I have an idea..."

Time was urgent, so he quickly explained his idea.

Hong Fan glanced at the wind speed that was increasing again on the AR display, and then looked at the planetary lander that was slowing down again, and said immediately: "Okay!"

"Take a gamble!"

"Xia Wanyi, turn the planetary lander sideways!" Hong Fan shouted loudly in the communication channel, "Turn the hatch side towards us!!"
