The process of finding the coordinate star gate was arduous, but the time was shorter than expected.
According to the timing of the planet's rotation between day and night and Shen Yuan's geological calculations, they knew that the "Explorer 1" planet was about the same size as the Earth. Because of its abundant water resources, the land area might be smaller.
If the 19 coordinate star gates are evenly distributed on the land, the distance between each coordinate star gate may be less than a thousand kilometers.
Then everyone got lucky. It took them three days to travel hundreds of kilometers and finally achieved something.
"My mechanical bird found a bright spot in front... which is in the direction of radar detection." Standing under a big tree, Shen Yuan turned on the projection function of the mecha and projected a high-altitude bird's-eye view.
This mechanical bird was something he bought recently.
Along the way, he continued to conduct geological surveys, and all the accumulated points were used to upgrade the mecha.
"Have you seen that flash point? Does the color look like a star gate? Wait a minute, my mechanical bird has a super zoom function, so I can zoom in for you..." The projected picture got closer and closer, and finally, I was pleasantly surprised. A scene appeared. It was indeed a star gate, and there was a huge shadow shaking below the star gate.
When Shen Yuan was about to debug the mechanical bird and see what the shadow was, the screen was interrupted.
Then, some burning debris "crackling" fell from the sky.
"Shit, shit!" Seeing that the thing he spent 180 points on was scrapped, Shen Yuan's eyes widened in anger, "What's going on?"
"A big insect flew over just now. I thought it was prey and took a bite." Han Dong's voice came from above the tree crown.
"Then why don't you stop it?"
"There are so many creatures in the sky, as many as the moths under the street lights in the countryside when I was a kid. Which one do you want me to shoot? You fly higher next time!"
"Another one hundred and eighty yuan was lost. Damn it... The mechanical department is not good at this. It costs too much and the attrition rate is too high." Along the way, even with Zheng Senlin's presence, more than 90% of the attacks can be avoided. There are risks, but things like "breaking into biological territory" cannot be completely avoided.
Everyone still encountered danger several times.
After encountering danger, everyone also followed the principle of running if they could, and fighting if they couldn't, to minimize losses.
But even so, everyone is hurt.
However, everyone has the axolotl gene, and with the help of powerful healing abilities, most of them are now fine.
Only Shen Yuan's loss could not be "healed" on his own - his current mecha was worn in many places, and several modules were completely scrapped. If it were not for the "exploration coins" earned on the road to be repaired, the entire mecha would have been damaged. It has long since ceased to function completely.
"If I had known earlier, I would have changed my major to biology... Do you think it was Lao Zheng? Why don't you accept me as your disciple?"
"It seems to be the territory of a creature!" Ignoring Shen Yuan's nagging complaints, Zheng Senlin's nostrils twitched as he spoke, as if he smelled some special smell, "There are urine signs everywhere, obviously warning others. Keep the creature away. Judging by the 'area size' of the urine, the creature is large and solitary."
"How big can one pee be? How big is one pee?"
"That's enough for you to take a bath."
Lives alone, is territorial, and has a large territory.
That can only mean one thing - this creature is particularly powerful.
"What should I do, force my way in?"
"That's not necessary. First of all, our firepower is not enough to kill it. The key is that the territory it marks has a radius of dozens of kilometers. Once it is gone, we can just sneak over. But this creature will have to be dealt with sooner or later. "
The biggest function of the star gate is to serve as a stable transportation point.
Only with this transportation point can a large number of people and materials be gathered.
It is relatively easy for a few people to pass through this territory with their sensitive senses, but when a large number of ordinary people gather and want to transport supplies, it is unrealistic to hide it from the "lord".
As long as this guy is not dealt with, no matter how many people come, they will be given free "rations" - it is also self-service.
"It doesn't matter so much, let's seize the location first and then talk about it when we get back. I haven't pooped in a few days." There are "channels" for anti-virus and food transportation in the mecha, as well as a sewage treatment system, but Shen Yuan still can't accept pooping directly. Entering the mecha, "Go back first, hurry up, I can feel that my large intestine is already as hard as a stone."
"You're so disgusting." Cheng Xin glanced at him, then shook her head, trying to shake off the image in her imagination.
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
At Shen Yuan's urging, everyone set out again.
Arriving at the edge of the territory, Zheng Senlin signaled everyone to stop advancing. He relied on the smell to identify the location of the creature. After it left the vicinity of the star gate, he led the team towards the coordinate point at full speed.
It took less than half an hour to cover a distance of more than 20 kilometers. At an extraordinary speed, everyone finally reached the terminal point of the journey - the coordinate star gate.
Looking at the star gate that shimmered with light from space, everyone felt as if they had finished a marathon and crossed the finish line, and their hearts were filled with joy.
"The streamer comes from the base." When Zheng Senlin came into contact with the Star Gate for the first time, he didn't know how to use it, but as soon as his hand touched the Star Gate base, a huge star map flashed in his mind.
That's a grand star map of the known universe.
Countless galaxies are floating among them.
Countless planets are rotating within the galaxy, and all the shining planets are planets where civilization has been born.
The star map is as vast as the ocean, and there are as many civilized planets as the sand and gravel on the seabed. It is too difficult to find the earth with the naked eye.
But when Zheng Senlin thought of "Earth", the star map began to automatically locate.
“The known universe…the total galaxy…the Pisces-Cetus supercluster complex…the Virgo supercluster…the local group…the subgroup of galaxies…the Milky Way…the Orion Arm…the Gould Belt… Local Bubble...Local Galaxy Cloud...Oort Cloud...Solar System...Third Planet!"
As the scale of the star map was enlarged step by step, Zheng Senlin finally saw the earth.
"Mark the coordinates?" While Zheng Senlin was still immersed in the grandeur of the universe, the coordinate star gate issued a prompt.
"Yes." After Zheng Senlin answered, the earth was specially marked with a red dot, and at the same time, his conscious world also had an additional red dot with coordinates.
After this, he felt that the passage was opened. He stepped through it now, and the earth was on the other side.
But at this moment, his nose smelled a different smell, his palm left the coordinate star gate, and he turned around and saw a terrifying giant beast.
