Chapter 280 19. The Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots
Five days later.

A disc-sized yellow planet appeared in front of the spacecraft.

The planet's atmosphere is as hazy as Saturn's, but more disgusting.The shifting atmosphere forms an uncomfortable pattern, full of abscesses and yellow pus.

The planet is dying.

This is Earth.

The earth is already visible and is the size of a disk, which means that the spacecraft has approached within 50 kilometers of the earth.

"It's really puzzling what people in your time did to make a planet look like this ofTum and turn a blind eye to it?" Tess commented, standing away from the crowd.

In the captain's cabin, Mu Su and Joyce stood in front of the observation window.Besides Chen Yuetaisi and Anthony, there were also two senior members that Musu didn't know.

"If you talk too much, you will cry." Mu Su smacked his lips.

"Is it related to ofTum?" Joyce asked him with a smile.

Mu Su took off his shoes and pointed at him, as if it was not a shoe but a gun: "You know too much."

"Looking at the scene in front of me, I was thinking, is it true that the movie and game materials are all fake, and the earth is never blue." Probably seeing the cradle of human beings turned into such a ghost, Anthony sighed and asked again Tess: "Is it possible for the earth to return to what it used to be?"

"Except for the New Nature Church, most capital groups and even the Federation are unwilling to invest money in the bottomless pit of the earth. If you want to see the blue earth, you can only wait for the earth to self-regulate for millions of years or even longer. By then, we may have already It doesn't exist anymore."

Tess answered quickly and without pause.Her speech is very characteristic: a sentence is complicated and lengthened and then spoken at a very fast speed.

As for the purpose is unknown, it is probably because geniuses are always a little nervous.

The engine had been shut down a few hours ago, and the spacecraft approached the planet by inertial force.

It has entered the range of Earth's gravitational capture and is expected to reach low-Earth orbit in 10 minutes.

Whether it was intentional or not, this spacecraft happened to be approaching when all the space stations were on the other side of the earth.Now there are only some small detection satellites belonging to consortiums of various institutions or satellites handcrafted by students-they can't find a small transport ship with a length of [-] meters at all.

Fifteen minutes later, the auxiliary engine started, and the spacecraft shut down after entering a low-earth orbit 15 kilometers away from the ground, waiting for the upcoming landing opportunity.

A senior member leaves the captain's cabin and goes to the cargo hold to inspect the equipment.Anthony also left temporarily, and he needed to remind those members to put away all movable objects—the small transport ship would directly enter the atmosphere and land without transit.

The vibrations will likely be severe, and leaving those things out can cause some trouble.

A small landing ship is not suitable for landing on a planet with an atmosphere. It is only suitable for parking on the solar ring with an artificial black hole as a gravitational force and a thin atmosphere.

It's just inappropriate, not impossible.It can still barely be used as a landing ship, but damage is inevitable.The friction of entering the atmosphere will aggravate the serious fatigue and wear of the hull. In other words, it needs to be maintained earlier than other ships of the same type.

However, a small transport ship only has less than 4 million credits, which is like scratching an itch for the Immortal Club, which is full of rich second generations.

The auxiliary HUD appears in front of the huge observation window, and more than a dozen columns of numerical symbols appear in the four corners.It records many data including energy surplus, altitude, space temperature, and radiation.

Anthony and the senior member returned 2 minutes later.

Five minutes later, Joyce gave the landing order.

[The ship is passing through the Van Allen radiation belt, please keep passengers away from the portholes.If you feel unwell during this period, please come to the medical room for medical treatment.The ship is passing through the Van Allen radiation, passengers please stay away—]

The ship radio is playing on a loop.

The auxiliary engines started, and the craft began a slow but steady approach to the dying Earth.

Obviously they are heading towards the earth, but they can still stand firmly on the ground.This sense of spatial confusion made Mu Su and a senior member feel a little uncomfortable and looked away.

[The spaceship is about to enter the atmosphere at 3000 kilometers, when the friction will cause the hull to vibrate.Members, please sit tight. ] Seven minutes later, a new system announcement appeared, the slight difference being that it was an artificial announcement rather than a system prompt.

Ten seconds later, a slight vibration came from under his feet, which felt like the vibration caused by a road roller passing by.

The observation window is raised with metal protection to avoid wear and tear when entering the atmosphere.However, the internal real-time screen is turned on, which is no different from before.

There is no scenery on the screen, and the surrounding area is filled with yellow fog that cannot be dispelled.Either in the exosphere or the thermosphere.Even after entering the stratosphere, it is still the same, unable to distinguish front, back, left, and right.

The vibration of the engine is not violent under the stability.I also didn't see the scene where the bow of the ship was burning red due to friction.Ten minutes later, the altitude of the HUD in the lower left corner has reached 15 kilometers, entering the stratosphere.

The silence of the captain's cabin combined with the view outside made the atmosphere dull.

[The spaceship is scheduled to land at 27° north latitude, the original location is: Florida, United States of America]

The sound of the broadcast broke the silence, and the slight tremors gradually calmed down.The spacecraft successfully crossed the stratosphere.It changed its posture and turned into a parallel landing, close to the ground.

A few minutes later, the spacecraft stayed at an altitude of 50 meters from the ground.It is not suitable for continued landing.

"Please, Mr. Mu Su."

The captain's room was full of the footsteps and voices of the members walking back and forth, and they were preparing for the landing.

"I want to play too?" Mu Su's dead fish eye earned the largest amount ever.

Joyce laughed and said, "After all, we kidnapped you, not invited us, didn't we?"

Mu Su's face darkened: "I'm angry when I talk about this. You can't entrust me to pay the fee? You have to rely on brute force to move. I look down on you kidnappers and robbers the most. You have no technical content at all."

"Will you come if I give you the entrustment fee?" Joyce still looked soft, as if talking to an old friend.

"Of course not!" Mu Su said confidently.

A very standard Musu logical answer.

"Then please, you don't need to be nervous, I will go down together."

Mu Su's resistance was useless, he followed the backbone of the Eternal Life Society to the cargo hold, received the protective clothing, and then got into the all-terrain vehicle.

There are 5 vehicles, which can hold 8 people.It means that 40 people will go down and follow them into the base.

Except for Tess and a senior member, Joyce, Chen Yue, Anthony and others and Mu Su will all go down.

Five vehicles landed from the cabin one after another, and the topographic map from the scanner of the spacecraft was transmitted to each vehicle before it was started.

They are located on a plain with a slight slope, and the terrain 200 meters away on the west side is very characteristic.The edges and corners are sharp and orderly.

It was a small town - once.
