A Blazing Scene
"A Tu, of course I believe you. Alright, let's go hunting first, it'll be dark soon." A Ya clearly didn't believe A Tu, but in order to complete the hunting mission, she had no choice but to say so.
A Tu wasn't stupid; he understood what was going on, but he didn't say anything more. He just sighed and followed A Ya into the hunting area.
In fact, among the Dog-Headed People, there were more than one who saw human Landing Ship streak across the sky like A Tu, but due to the long distance and lack of information, no one believed them.
Meanwhile, the humans on the other side didn't care about such things.
After the twelve Landing Ship arrived in the airspace, their vector thrusters adjusted their direction to decelerate, and then they slowly descended from the sky.
A transport ship that is 800 to 1000 meters long, 500 meters wide, and high may not seem very big on paper, but it is actually quite large.
Aircraft carriers in the Earth Era were about 300 to 333 meters long, 70 to 80 meters wide, and 60 to 70 meters high.
So, the current human transport ships, from the outside, are roughly the size of 126 aircraft carriers stacked together. Three aircraft carriers are connected end to end, arranged in six rows, and then stacked in seven layers, that's how big they are.
Therefore, it made a great commotion when it landed.
With two at the front and four at the rear, a total of six thrusters with nozzles pointing downwards, the airflow from the nozzles whipped up sand and stones from the ground, and long trails of flame shot straight to the surface, instantly igniting the original grassland landscape. The high temperature even burned some of the surrounding gravel into limestone.
Fueled by the wind, the flames, ignited by the high temperature of the downward-facing thruster exhaust, were propelled by the airflow from the nozzle, creating bursts of sparks that danced like stars in the sky, instantly igniting areas further away.
As a result, the landing site of the first transport ships soon turned into a sea of fire. There was no way around it; the planet was teeming with vegetation, and humans landing in this manner were bound to cause a massive fire.
However, the fire did not last long. After the twelve ships landed steadily and their propulsion systems shut down, a sound like the exhaust of a large truck after braking was heard, followed by a thick fog that billowed out and swept in all directions.
Wherever the fog pointed, the sea of fire was extinguished instantly.
In an instant, the landing site resembled a battlefield of fierce fighting, with thick smoke billowing everywhere.
Yue Yuan, aboard the Lyra, could see this scene clearly, but he didn't care. A few trees and grasses were nothing to burn; it would save him the trouble of cleaning them up when the base was being built.
Humans are already very familiar with the Landing Ship completing their landing and initial construction work.
After the twelve ships stabilized, ramps slowly extended from both sides. At the same time, the side armor of the ships slowly opened up like flowers. Other components also underwent various deformations and combinations under the operation of countless mechanical gears and hydraulic systems.
In just half an hour, the original Landing Ship were deployed and transformed into a ground platform.
Immediately afterwards, various ground Engineering Vehicle filed out and began leveling the land around the Landing Ship.
The ground Engineering Vehicle are all unmanned, but they are not automatically controlled by AI; instead, they are operated remotely by humans. At this moment, the drivers or operators of these Engineering Vehicle are on a spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit.
This planet has a radius 0.8 times that of Earth, an average surface gravity 0.69 times that of Earth, and a rotation period of 20 hours, 57 minutes, and 33.63 seconds. Knowing these figures, one can easily calculate the altitude of its geosynchronous orbit using basic high school knowledge.
It is approximately 24,376.216 kilometers.
Therefore, the delay for operators on the geostationary orbit to operate ground engineering equipment is approximately 162 milliseconds, or 0.126 seconds. Think about playing online games; this delay isn't too significant and is more than sufficient for controlling the equipment to perform relatively simple tasks.
Therefore, it can handle projects such as leveling land and constructing the main framework of a base from a remote location.
After so many years of development, remote Operating System are no longer the kind of systems you see on a screen like when playing a game. Nowadays, operators of remote Operating System are basically wearing virtual reality headsets.
Because the engineering equipment is equipped with many cameras, the operator can not only switch to the cab mode, but also switch to the camera on the top of the equipment to get Third-Person Perspective of the equipment.
Therefore, the operators now control the engineering equipment in the same way they control vehicles in a game. Combined with the perspective of the base and the drones overhead, they can dig accurately every time.
Humans do have a human body microcurrent sensing Operating System, like the cockpit of Spacesuit Modification or Tactical Armor, but that thing can't be remotely connected. Therefore, remote operation of engineering machinery can only use the previous system.
While the land was being leveled, other remotely operated robots also began their work, unloading various facilities from the Landing Ship and then skillfully assembling them on the leveled land.
Over time, various infrastructure projects, such as fences, floors, antennas, radar, and microwave charging equipment, have gradually sprung up.
The once barren and desolate land gradually began to gleam with the light of technology.
The buzzing of electric motors, the meshing of gears, and the azure flames of engines—the power of industry was appearing on this planet for the first time.
In an instant, this desolate place was transformed into a bustling construction site.
After the first batch of infrastructure is deployed and built, the second batch will follow. Transport ships carrying raw material processing plants will land around this base one after another, and then mechanical deployment will be carried out. Robots will then be built to complete the connection with the basic base.
Then the third and fourth batches of Landing Ship carrying semi-finished and finished products, as well as components of the Orbital Mass Accelerator, will land one after another, and then build an air-to-ground transportation station for humanity.
Only after all facilities are ready can personnel land, explore and mine resources, and continuously supply supplies to the fleet and dock in space.
Humans have extensive experience in landing on planets and extracting resources, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to established procedures.
As humans continue their landing operations, the fireball phenomenon in the sky naturally becomes more and more frequent, and naturally, it will be seen by more Dog-Headed People.
The Dog-Headed People named A Tu was now very happy. All the Dog-Headed People who had previously disbelieved him now believed him, because even the Great Elder had witnessed the scene.
On this day, because of this matter, he was summoned by the Great Elder for questioning, but on the way, he encountered A Ya, whom he had never believed before.
"A Ya, you saw the fireball in the sky too, now you believe me, right?" A Tu leaned closer.
A Ya remained noncommittal, but asked curiously, "A Tu, I've always believed in you. By the way, what are those things in the sky? They're covered in fire, could they be the God of Light?"
