Dawn Star.
In a hilly region not far from the A1 Plain.
An enormous Planetary Lander sat motionless in a depression in the ground.
Several thick carbon nanotube cables extended from the top and bottom of its chassis.
These carbon nanotube cables were attached to steel stakes driven deep into the ground nearby, securing the Planetary Lander firmly to Dawn Star's barren surface.
These anchoring measures could effectively withstand surface winds of up to 80 km/h on Dawn Star.
But now...
[Warning!] [Current external wind speed: 70 km/h!]
Inside the Planetary Lander, red warning lights flashed incessantly.
Thanks to the terrain, the low hills greatly reduced the storm's force.
Without a wind-tunnel effect, the winds in the squad's area were nowhere near as terrifying as those in the Central Canyon.
Even so, the Planetary Lander's built-in anchoring measures were nearing their limits.
Inside the cabin, several pale-faced crew members stared at the "terrifying" scene outside the windows.
An endless deluge of yellow sand poured across the vast landscape.
At that moment, this younger generation born on Proxima Centauri finally understood the terror of nature.
"C-Captain."
A crew member watched the wind speed reading slowly climb on the Holographic Projection and swallowed hard. "Will we last until help arrives...?"
The captain said nothing. He merely gazed silently at the world of swirling yellow sand outside.
Would they last until help arrived?
He had no idea how Academician Fang intended to carry out the rescue operation.
But he knew one thing.
In weather this severe, probably not a single Starship could land successfully.
How could there be any rescue?
Beep!
Another familiar alarm sounded.
[Current external wind speed: 72 km/h]
Perhaps because the storms over the A1 Plain and A2 Plain were merging, the wind speed around the
