Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Reduce the speed of the base vehicle to 10 kilometers per hour.

Su Wu advanced slowly on the saline-alkali land.

While turning on the power of various reconnaissance equipment to the maximum.

Try to explore all the abnormal trends around you.

At this time, he did not dare to be stingy.

The reconnaissance drone was urgently upgraded for the second time.

Then a new generation of reconnaissance drones with more powerful environmental adaptability and exploration equipment.

Get ahead of the base vehicle and conduct reconnaissance in this purgatory that seems to be lit by flames.

soon.

Su Wu saw that deep in the saline-alkali land, there were large depressions dominated by turquoise and light yellow.

From time to time there is some gas smoke visible to the naked eye.

Rising from those depressions.

"That's corrosive gas."

"And magma."

Su Wu's scalp felt a little numb.

It felt as if I had entered a volcanic crater that was about to erupt.

According to the data transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone.

among those depressions.

In some places, hot magma is rolling just half a meter underground.

Su Wu was suspicious.

Anyone can come and stand up.

It may collapse directly and fall into the magma below.

And this association also made his actions more cautious.

Not only does the base vehicle move forward slower, it is almost as fast as a person walking.

Many times the direction of progress becomes crooked.

Try to avoid places where magma is active or where the rock formations are weak.

"The natural disaster coefficient has reached 0.7."

Carefully go around a gully where you can vaguely see lava.

Su Wu noticed that the logo on the system bar had changed again.

This item comes from the system and is used to display the bonus coefficient of extra survival points.

Now he uses it as a tool to detect the danger level of the environment.

The higher the coefficient, the closer he must be to danger.

In this case, don't talk about taking a break. Relaxing your mind a little is irresponsible for your own life.

After more than an hour of high mental stress.

The base vehicle driven by Su Wu finally arrived at the area marked by the border exploration mission.

A meteorite crater with a diameter of about 1 kilometer appeared in Su Wu's field of vision.

At the very bottom of that pit.

At this time, a small magma lake has formed.

And at the edge of the lake, there was actually a vehicle covered in thick white armor.

"Someone has already come first."

Su Wu was shocked at first, and then slowly calmed down.

He observed it for a while.

It was discovered that the other party seemed to be a scientific research vehicle, and it was using the instruments in the vehicle to observe the state of magma in the pit.

"It should be the officials who discovered the movement of the meteorite and sent them to investigate the situation."

This does not conflict with Su Wu's mission.

After observing silently for a while, Su Wu ignored it for the time being.

Through vehicle-mounted terrain radar and reconnaissance drones.

After confirming that the geology around the base vehicle is relatively stable.

Su Wu activates the station mode of the base vehicle.

Near the crater, a metal structure base was formed.

at the same time.

Engineering robots and construction robots are on standby in the second carriage.

Start utilizing the equipment and materials stocked in the carriage warehouse.

Assemble a large electronics laboratory.

The mission of Frontier Exploration is to collect data and debris where the asteroid fell.

The so-called collection of data.

In fact, it is a more detailed reconnaissance scan.

This can only be achieved with a large electronics laboratory.

This is why Su Wu needs to activate the station mode first and temporarily establish a base.

From setting up an electronic laboratory to collecting data.

It takes quite some time.

During this period, Su Wu was not idle either.

He commands another engineering robot.

Started to modify the tracked vehicles of the land combat group.

Convert them into robot dog form.

Due to limited conditions and only one engineering robot, the modification speed was extremely slow.

When the electronics laboratory has been set up.

and started to be officially put into operation.

That's why I barely managed to modify a usable robot dog.

"Let's make do with it for now."

"There's no need to be too hasty."

I took a look at the progress of data collection in the electronics laboratory.

Su Wu's mentality became calm again.

It would take 28 hours to scan all the areas marked by the task.

Such a long time.

It was enough for Su Wu to slowly complete another request step by step.

It is different from collecting data that can be completed step by step by just staying on site.

Another mission requirement is to collect debris.

This is real exploration work.

It requires Su Wu to collect the fragments scattered in this area after the meteorite fell.

The task has no requirements on the size or shape of the fragments.

There is only one completion standard, which is that the total mass of the collected fragments must reach 10 kilograms.

This requires Su Wu to send robots out for activities.

In Su Wu's original plan, he planned to use construction robots as collection tools.

But now, he has better tools.

That's the robot dog.

I paid a few survival points to strengthen the thermal insulation components for the newly born first robot dog.

Give it the ability to move freely outside the base vehicle.

Su Wu asked him to go out to perform the task on the spot.

As for himself, he was sitting in the cockpit of the base vehicle, using the electronic eye remotely connected to the robot dog.

Observe what's going on outside.

The process of finding the first meteorite fragment was quite difficult.

Since there is no reference.

I could only find a piece of broken stone, so I tried to collect it.

After a basket is filled, it will be returned to the base vehicle for sorting.

As for Su Wu's method of distinguishing, it is also very simple.

Just stand near the gravel you collected and try to submit the quest.

The task will remind him how much quality of fragments are needed to meet the requirements.

Through this manual filtering bit by bit.

At the tenth hour.

After the engineering robots created 5 more robot dogs.

Su Wucai found the first meteorite fragment of only 0.02 grams.

And with this piece of reference.

The subsequent collection progress increased countless times in speed.

Su Wu first used the laboratory to briefly test the material composition of the meteorite fragments.

And then build on that.

Use the detection equipment on the reconnaissance drone to conduct a large-scale search.

Look for other fragments of similar material composition.

Less than three hours followed.

The six robot dogs that Su Wu sent out to the outside world collected nearly 5 kilograms of debris.

But, at this time.

As nearby debris was picked up.

Collecting becomes a little more difficult.

Robot dogs often need to run a long distance before they can pick up a new piece of debris.
