Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 21 Crazy Animals

Two days passed quickly.

Three days after Chen Ming found the Orange Fruit, it was also the fifth day after the spacecraft landed.

With Chen Ming's efforts, the temporary survival base around the spacecraft has taken a slight shape.

Chen Ming was next to the spacecraft two days ago. Starting from the area where orange fruits were planted, he cleared out an entire open space without weeds.

Using the tools in the repair kit, the chainsaw was slightly modified and used as a tree-cutting tool to cut down some trees in the surrounding woods.

A simple fence was then installed around the spacecraft and some traps were arranged.

I have to say that Chen Ming’s terminal really has everything.

The number of books such as "Wild Survival Guide" and "Simple Environmental Trap Layout" in the terminal is second only to those professional books related to maintenance.

It is simply that all the knowledge of surviving in the natural environment is crammed into the terminal.

Although Chen Ming doesn't have much time to watch it completely, it's okay to watch part of what he needs now.

So the temporary camp was built during Chen Ming's exploration process.

In addition to the work near the spacecraft, Chen Ming also basically checked all the surrounding plants.

In the current autumn, Chen Ming found two other edible crops without too much difficulty.

The appearance of one type is similar to that of rice, but there are many lavender fluffs on the ears, which look like flowers from a distance.

And its name is a very vivid flower rice.

The other is a crop that looks very much like soybeans, with fruits and seeds wrapped in pods. The name is simply purple beans.

Chen Ming found only a few samples of these two plants, but the number of seeds of each variety was large, so Chen Ming planted some in the hydroponic warehouse.

Orange fruit, flower rice and purple beans, three different seeds almost occupy the space of the hydroponic warehouse.

The excess seeds, like the orange fruit seeds, were all planted by Chen Ming into the land that had been cultivated in the past two days.

The insect eggs and insect corpses that had been kept in the cold room were squeezed into juice by Chen Ming using a nutrient solution extractor... After being squeezed into a nutrient solution, it was sprinkled into the soil and became the first batch of nutrients for the field. .

After Chen Ming realized that he could obtain meat through hunting, the insects and eggs that were originally used as the last backup food were useless.

They ended their mission after letting Chen Ming understand the working process of the nutrient solution extractor.

However, the hydroponic warehouse is not completely empty.

Chen Ming also deliberately left a small space in the corner of the hydroponic warehouse.

Use it to give those who find the herbs on Ruimu Planet by comparing them with the book "Preparation of Common Herbal Medicines (Raimu Planet)" in the doctor's terminal.

Chen Ming is very clear about the importance of medicine. Even if he is not sick or injured now, he must not miss this medicine.

With sufficient nutrient solution, the hydroponic warehouse maintains the native natural environment of Ruimu Planet, and the careful care of farming equipment.

The growth rate of the crops in the hydroponic warehouse can only be described as rapid. It can almost be said that they are growing visibly to the naked eye.

As long as the first batch of crops is cultivated and can be stably cultivated for the second generation, then the spacecraft will have a steady stream of renewable crops and herbs that can ensure its own health.

Next, just wait until you have enough harvest from hunting, or enough crops grow in the fields outside, and then include the packaged survival food to last for half a year, and then leave a certain margin.

Chen Ming can let the spacecraft take off again and prepare to leave.

In the past two days, Chen Ming also found many traces of animals near the spacecraft.

Although I had used a searchlight to scare away the peeping animals that night, the next day I could clearly feel that those animals had become bolder.

Last night was even more outrageous. Chen Ming was awakened in the middle of the night by the moving object alarm he set for the spacecraft's external camera.

I found that after I fell asleep, animals had even approached the place where I was growing vegetables.

If it hadn't been blocked by the fence he prepared in advance, Chen Ming might have suffered a heavy loss.

So Chen Ming's task today is to strengthen the fence and create traps to prevent the situation like last night from happening.

If the monitoring failed even slightly, the crops Chen Ming planted outside would suffer.The second is to try to track down the traces of a smaller animal among the animals that came to peek at the spacecraft last night.

The traces of this animal are the most obvious compared to the others, and Chen Ming can't just let it go.

After watering the crops outside, Chen Ming put on his equipment and prepared to go out.

But just when Chen Ming was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that on the east side of the hill where the spacecraft was located, an animal that looked like a deer that he had seen at night had its head exposed.

Chen Ming suddenly became energetic and picked up the gun in his hand, feeling slightly excited in his heart.

Are you finally going to hunt your first prey?
Wait, Chen Ming suddenly realized something was wrong.

As the animal that was probably a deer showed its head, several more deer emerged from behind the hill.

Their state is very strange, their eyes are dull, their teeth are grinning, and saliva is constantly drooling from the corners of their mouths.

This seems a little unusual.

Chen Ming frowned and stopped walking out of the spacecraft.

Somehow, the more Chen Ming looked at these deer, the more he felt that they were similar to the group of empty jellyfish he had encountered before.

To be on the safe side, Chen Ming's consciousness was connected to the spacecraft's two modified cannons.

By the way, he glanced at the panels of the two machine guns.

[22mm machine gun·modified]

[Type: Small kinetic energy weapon]

[Manufacturer: Cinda Rockwell Arms Company]

[Ammo load: 1000/1000]

[Effective killing range: 2000 meters]

[Rate of fire: 800 rounds/minute]

[Modified components: chain feed, twin barrels, stabilizing bracket, high-strength barrel]

[Durability: 100%]

[Available operations: Replace/Renovate]

This is the most powerful weapon that Chen Ming can currently produce. Its firepower is at least three times higher than the previous machine cannon.

Chen Ming was confident that all the empty jellyfish in that quantity would be wiped out, but the herd in front of him was just a sprinkling of water.

Just then.

This group of deer that suddenly appeared seemed to have discovered the spacecraft, and suddenly charged towards the spacecraft without warning.

Chen Ming had already prepared.

The two machine guns opened fire immediately.

The metal storm covered nearly the entire herd.

But these deer seem to have lost the function of fear.

Violent gunfire, fire, and fallen members of the same species failed to stop them from charging towards the spacecraft.

Chen Ming even saw a deer with its two front legs broken, its stomach torn apart by bullets, and its internal organs spilled all over the floor. It still stared with red eyes and squirmed in the direction of the spacecraft. After struggling for a while, Dead.

There was definitely something wrong with this herd of deer.

At this time, Chen Ming's heart was completely filled with confusion and uneasiness.

This planet seems to be somewhat unwelcome to me.
