No way, after the landing ship lands, these landing cabins are useless, and the soldiers cannot be ejected through the landing cabins. In that case, the result may be that they crash to the ground.

The dense footsteps gathered in the passage, bringing an invisible tension, passion and courage to people.

Fang Xiaoyue followed her comrades in the same company to the exit of the ship.

At this time, at the exit from the ship, the hatch made of carbon nanocomposite material had opened outwards, forming a huge passage leading directly to the ground.

Groups of soldiers were marching in neat steps through this passage and onto the alien land.

"Quick! Quick! The 15th Combat Group moves forward, ten kilometers to the left of the target, destroy all the bugs you see, and provide cover for the engineering troops building the protective wall!"

"The Ninth Combat Brigade! Spread out five kilometers and be on alert on the spot! Wait for combat orders!"

........

A series of orders were issued from the mouths of the officers, and Fang Xiaoyue's 11th Combat Brigade went to build a defense line ten kilometers away from the front, waiting for the arrival of the engineering troops.

Although she already knew the situation on the surface of this planet in her memory, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but take a deep breath when she stepped onto the surface of the planet again.

No way, the environmental conditions of Planet 3 are too superior for humans.

The various gases in its atmosphere are almost the same as those on Blue Star, except that the oxygen content is 23%, which is 2 percentage points higher than that of Blue Star.

But this will make humans feel energetic when they breathe.

In addition, on the surface of Planet 3, 37% is hilly, 11% is mountainous, 12% is plain, and the remaining 40% is ocean.

It is also true that Planet 3 will rain and snow just like on Blue Star, but some places too far away from the ocean are drier.

The most important thing is that there is life on this planet.

The simplest organisms here are bacteria and viruses with simple structures. The most complex structures are some cold-blooded reptiles. As for mammals, they have not yet appeared.

Well, to put it simply, the life cycle of this planet is somewhat similar to the dinosaur era on Blue Star, except that the reptiles here are far from reaching the size of dinosaurs.

Maybe the oxygen content in the atmosphere here is not enough?

However, the plant system here is exceptionally developed, ranging from the simplest green algae to the most complex angiosperms.

However, the mining area where the Shoal landing ship landed is a slightly arid hilly area, and there are not so many plants here. Some yellow and red plants can occasionally be seen on the surface, but most of them are light red dust, which makes This place looks like the planet once occupied by the Blue Star Alliance.

This mining area was once a heavily guarded area by the Zerg, so it was also the focus of attention in previous artillery preparations.

When Fang Xiaoyue walked through the passage and landed on the ground, the ground her legs were stepping on was completely a layer of fine soil that had been plowed, and it also gave off an uncomfortable high temperature.

Not far away, you can also see some charred and carbonized insect trunks and limbs.

This is also a helpless thing, because Planet 3 is very suitable for human survival, and the bacteria and viruses here have not yet evolved an attack mode against humans. Therefore, here, even if humans do not wear protective clothing or respirators, they will be the same. They can move freely, and even without the heavy protective clothing, their movements will be easier.

Ten kilometers is an easy journey for both natural soldiers and clone soldiers.

After arriving at the target area ten kilometers away, the soldiers of the 11th Combat Group quickly dispersed to nearby hills under the command of officers at all levels.

After occupying these commanding heights, their mission is temporarily completed. Next, they need to wait for the arrival of the engineering troops, and then protect the engineering troops, building protective walls, air defense towers and a series of facilities here.

Of course, during this process, if there are bugs appearing, then they need to do their best to block those bugs!

In fact, after arriving at the hilly area ten kilometers away from the landing ship, the 11th Combat Group squatted there for a whole day. When the engineering troops arrived and began to build protective walls and various defense facilities, the Zerg still did not appear. .

It was as if the entire Zerg race had been wiped off the planet by previous artillery fire preparations.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers are in a very relaxed mood, as if they are on vacation, gradually relaxing their vigilance.

After all, with the establishment of the protective wall, various defense facilities were built, and even after the protective wall was established, a team of more than fifty mechanical armors arrived, making the defensive force here extremely powerful!

In their opinion, it would be fine if those bugs did not appear. If they did appear, they would definitely be attacked head-on!

Three days later, the protective wall was built, various defense forces were built, and more clone soldiers rushed over, forming a solid circular defense line around Mine No. 3.

Self-propelled heavy artillery tanks spread their support legs near the landing ship, transformed from tanks into long-range heavy artillery, and locked the muzzles on the hilly areas outside the mining area.

Nighthawk fighter jets took off from the constructed airport, flew out in all directions, and began to explore the surrounding area.

The vulture vehicles, like wild Erha, jumped out from the gate on the protective wall and began to lay spider mines in the hills and valleys outside.

However, the seemingly leisurely Fang Xiaoyue's eyes became more and more solemn at this time.

From memory, the first bugs were about to appear.

Soon, the nighthawk who was out for reconnaissance sent back the news that tens of thousands of mantises appeared more than a hundred kilometers away, and they were rushing towards the mining area like a tide.

This so-called mantis is actually the lowest insect among the Zerg tribe.

They are slightly shorter than humans, are brown in color, have triangular heads, and their upper limbs are two retractable serrated blade arms, dragging a long and plump abdomen. In addition to three supporting legs and no wings, they have It looks very similar to the mantis on its home planet, so it was named mantis by humans.

When the Third Exploration Fleet encountered these bugs for the first time, it paid a heavy price.

After all, this kind of bug appears in large numbers every time and moves quickly. As long as it can get close to human soldiers, it can cause them great harm.

After all, compared to the human body, the killing of bugs at close range really exceeds the human reaction speed.

With Nighthawk's reconnaissance report, the entire human defense line quickly transformed from the initial idleness and leisure to intense war preparation.
