The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

The harsh alarm pierced everyone's hearts.

The damage to Flying Probe One came without warning.

"What happened just now... what?" The person staring at the map team took a moment to react, and looked in the direction of the mechanical team blankly.

This time the young man in charge of the operation withdrew his hands from the keyboard.

"Have you been attacked?" Someone asked, turning to the map group, "Is there anything unusual about the monitoring equipment?"

"No, it shows that everything is normal, and nothing has been reported." The members staring at the instrument were also anxious.

The base operates several detection instruments at the same time: electromagnetic radar, spectrometer, ion monitoring, and infrared at night.

However, due to the special environment of Garbage Star, the composition of many discarded garbage itself and the special production process will interfere with the work of these instruments, greatly reducing the detection effect.

There are more advanced instruments for monitoring with the help of satellites, which are more efficient and more accurate than the above-mentioned machines that simply work from the ground.

But the points of the easy base are not enough to afford it.

There is no abnormality in the monitoring, and the incident happened on the other side of the garbage mountain, so it is difficult to determine the cause of the abnormality.

"What should I do, Mo Da, do you want to send a combat team?" Someone immediately volunteered.

The manufacturing process of the small flying detector is simple, the cost is not high, and it is a consumable in itself.

This kind of loss is not too big, but it affects the morale at this moment.

After all, I started my exploration with full confidence. It is hard to treat such a setback in less than an hour.

Ren Zimo selected a group of members with better grades, and these people who are more proficient in mecha manipulation or quick to use form the combat team.The purpose is indeed to deal with situations like the present.

If this is still in the dungeon of the training camp, someone may rush out to find out.

But not here.

The price of failure here, is real people.

"Not for the time being. Today is only the first day. We are completely unfamiliar with the situation, so we can't be impulsive." Ren Zimo pressed the members who asked for a fight.

He looked at the young man who was operating the aircraft just now.

"Gao Peng, let's send the aircraft out again, this time maintain a good flying altitude. Let's collect all the maps that can be photographed nearby." Ren Zimo thought for a while, and then added, "Send two this time, keep the altitude high." Distance, try to be able to see each other. Can it be done?"

"No problem." The young man accepted the task request without any hesitation.

Ren Zimo nodded.

The easy base lacks masters, but there are three S-level students.

Besides Rong Di and Ren Zimo, the third one is Gao Peng in front of him.

Gao Peng showed a very high level of mechanical operation during the training period at the spaceport, so he is also the leader of the mechanical team now.

This is also a student whose strength far exceeds the needs of garbage stars.

But he chose here.

The two flying probes took off again soon, still operated by Gao Peng alone.

For this result, not everyone is reconciled.

But Ren Zimo's explanation is from the perspective of everyone's safety, and no one has any objections.

Soon, everyone's attention calmed down again, focusing on the picture.

It is impossible to distinguish the composition of the garbage when shooting at high altitudes, but clear landform information was still recorded.

Ren Zimo stared at the screen without any biological traces, and couldn't help worrying about another problem.

Rong Di left the base alone before dawn, so it should be fine, right?

******

In the early morning, before the stars had fully illuminated the sky and the earth, Rong Di left the base through the special passage in the lord's room.

Because Xixi was in a hurry to find food and didn't want to wait for dawn.

In fact, according to the little guy's own intention, she wanted to go out when she landed at the base.

But Rong Di always believes that the strange planet requires them to be cautious enough.

If you are not familiar with the environment, don't challenge the sensitive nerves of nocturnal creatures at night.

When the light of the stars begins to lay out, the creatures that are active during the day and night are handed over, and the relative activities are the least.

Rong Di put on a high-grade protective suit, covered his figure with psychic abilities, and easily jumped off the height of the third floor of the base, and landed gently on the ground without making any sound.

He was trying to avoid alarming the members of the night watch at the base.

For Jondi, there is an advantage to the litter around the base.

Garbage debris will be displaced by people's steps, but because the particles are too large, they will not leave footprints.

Because the base suddenly landed here, in fact, the three nearest garbage mountains around have loosened a bit.

Too much movement may cause the garbage mountain to collapse. Rong Di slowed down, walked across the junction of the two garbage mountains, and walked south.

With Rongdi's current psychic power level, his open perception can cover a radius of 3 kilometers centered on him.

Last night, his careful probing had established two conclusions.

There is no fatal threat within one kilometer around the base, which should not affect the daytime exploration of base members;

Within three kilometers, the terrain in the south is the lowest.

Because there was no major threat, Rong Di did not issue a special warning.

Finding the lowest place is actually related to Ren Zimo's goal.

Find a source of water.

Just from the surface, there may be endless rubbish within a range of ten kilometers around the base, and there is no distinction between high and low terrain.

But this is just a result of the continuous movement of large amounts of garbage over the years under the influence of local climate and other factors.

The real terrain is completely covered up.

If you only look for water sources according to the surface shape of the garbage mountain distribution, there is a high probability that you will never find the right place.

Historical data show that the vicinity here was once a plain, not a desert.Then, there must be a source of water here.

The water source usually gathers in the lowest place.

Ordinary detection instruments have no way to see through the garbage and discover the real geographical features at once.

But Rongdi's supernatural perception can.

Rong Di won't worry about being discovered if he walks out of the one-kilometer range of the base.The originally restrained footsteps suddenly let go, and the speed increased sharply.

The high-grade protective clothing he was wearing was very thin, and the functions were not the most complete, but it was close-fitting and did not affect normal actions.

Xixi lay directly on the outside of the protective clothing, on Rongdi's shoulder.

In contrast, the little thing has no protection on his body.

Of course, she didn't need it either.

After receiving the safety instructions given by Rongdi, Xixi immediately floated up, a mouth-like opening opened under her two small eyes, and a string of miniature balls popped out.

At the beginning, the small ball, which may not be as big as Rongdi's thumb knuckle, rose against the wind.

In a short while, the one cutie beside Rongdi became 1.

Finally, the ban was lifted without any disguise, and the cuties rushed to the garbage dump, picked up a piece of moderately sized garbage, and gnawed it in their mouths.While chewing and floating, he caught up with Rong Di's footsteps.

Rong Di said that he was so happy to be able to run openly without having to hear the sound of being hungry in his ears or even in his mind every day.

Ren Zimo is a good comrade, serious and responsible without causing trouble.

Rong Di said that he wanted to go out alone, and he was also very supportive, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Where can such a good partner be found?

Next, he only needs to ensure that the base can survive and avoid the fate of being disbanded and deported, and he can be completely free.

Rong Di felt that it was necessary to thank the excellent Mr. Vice Lord.

I don't know what Ren Zimo likes.

I found out after looking back, the gift must be made up.

With Rongdi's activities, advanced protective clothing also began to work.

It has the functions of collection, analysis, exploration and mapping. All the results will be intelligently identified and analyzed, and then pushed to the user in time.Of course, the disadvantages are as obvious as the advantages, which is expensive. Points for students below level B should be unaffordable.

Rong Di walked less than two kilometers away, and the protective clothing has marked 5 points worthy of attention on the auxiliary map.

This result is roughly equivalent to Rongdi's own perception, except that the detection of protective clothing is closer to physical evaluation, while the perception of mental abilities relies on Rongdi's intuitive judgment.

Picking up trash is the most interesting part of Garbage Star's life, but Rongdi didn't immediately follow the guidance of the protective clothing to find the five things.

According to the records given by the Hoshino Administration, this garbage star has had no traces of human activities for at least 400 years.

In other words, the history of this garbage is much older than the Hoshino Project.

Such a long period of time means that the most sought-after items on Garbage Star have long been discovered by local creatures.

It is difficult to find anything of high value if you go directly to it.

In contrast, finding a water source is indeed the most important thing.

Ren Zimo's direction for the team is correct.

It's just that it remains to be seen how far the strength of the entire team can carry out the plan.

Water, food, energy, the three cornerstones of Junk Star's survival.

Food can also be supplemented by planting in the base, and energy can also be converted from stellar energy.

Only the water source is the biggest throat.

While Rong Di was thinking, his steps didn't stop.

After a while, a smell appeared in the air filtered by the protective clothing.

After a moment of hesitation, Jundi corrected his direction.

It seems normal to have a bad smell in the dump.

But it's not.

After hundreds of years, the part of the garbage itself that can decay or volatilize to produce odors has long since disappeared without a trace.

What can be left is garbage that is difficult to degrade naturally.

These garbage that cannot be decomposed naturally in a short period of time are the real serious problems on the garbage planet under the jurisdiction of the Hoshino Administration.

The air quality on Planet One is average and polluted.

When Rongdi left the base, the results of the sampling and analysis of the protective clothing had already been produced.

With the results, the filter function of the protective clothing can protect the user from the harm of air pollution.

In this case there is still a bad smell, there are only two possible cases.

Or, there are dead bodies exposed in the air.

Or, there is a high probability that there is water.
