The U3-173 battle spaceship stopped at the distant orbit of Planet One. Most of the people on the spaceship were gathered in the main cockpit, looking at the catastrophic disaster on Planet One displayed on the giant viewing window, and everyone was shocked by the scene.
At the command console, Colonel John Smith shook his head and said with his mouth open, "With such intense crustal movement, I can't believe any man-made objects can survive."
Major General Samuel White coldly said, "Whether we believe it or not, when the signal from Explorer One reappears, we must arrange for a landing spacecraft to go to Planet One."
Major General Samuel White then asked the AI Monica, "Monica, can you calculate the time of destruction for Planet One now?"
AI Monica replied, "I cannot accurately predict the time of destruction for Planet One. Our current position will encounter a helium flash from the Alpha star of the Cygnus constellation in 134 Earth hours, and we must evacuate before that time."
Major General Samuel White nodded calmly and said, "Then, we can only wait for the signal to reappear."
After waiting for more than forty Earth hours, cheers erupted on the U3-173 battle spaceship as the signal that had disappeared for three Earth days finally reappeared on the detector.
Major General Samuel White immediately ordered Colonel John Smith to organize landing personnel to go to Planet One. A landing rescue spacecraft and a mech squad were sent to Planet One in the first batch.
The landing rescue spacecraft "Rescuer" was 180 meters long and 50 meters wide, shaped like a cigar. It was equipped with powerful engines for high-speed maneuverability and a sturdy hull that could withstand small meteor impacts and pass through planetary atmospheres.
Accompanying it were the Galactic Alliance's mass-produced combat mechs "Falcon," which were more than 20 meters tall and humanoid in shape. The Falcons were armed with laser cannons and missiles, had powerful mobility, and were the main combat force in the universe.
The exploration team proceeded cautiously, and soon, under the guidance of AI Monica, they arrived at a tall mountain in the central part of Planet One, which was the source of the signal from Explorer One.
The pilot of the Rescuer was Captain Alexander Turner, and beside him was the ground rescue operation commander, Major Isabella Parker. The two were fully focused on observing various detection data on the Rescuer, and the gray-yellow dust, dark red lava, and brown volcanic ash on the mountain were already visible to the naked eye.

Two Falcon mechs led the way in front, while four others protected the Rescuer in case of emergencies.
Major Isabella Parker issued an order, "This is Major Isabella Parker. All search and rescue team members, turn on all detectors and perform a deep scan of this mountain. Report any discoveries immediately!"
Captain Alexander Turner asked, "Do we need to activate the life detector?"
Major Isabella Parker glanced at Captain Alexander Turner and said coldly, "I said to turn on all detectors. When you speak to me in the future, you must first call me 'sir'!"
Captain Alexander Turner immediately activated the life detector and shouted, "Yes, sir!" In his heart, however, he thought that Major Isabella Parker's request to activate the life detector was just to establish authority. How could there be life on such a planet?
Before this thought could pass, Captain Alexander Turner's eyes widened as he stared at the screen and exclaimed, "Oh my God! The life detector has a response! This is a humanoid creature! My goodness, it's so fast!"
At this moment, Major Isabella Parker didn't care that Captain Alexander Turner hadn't addressed her as 'sir' just now. Seeing that the life detector had a response, she immediately ordered, "Falcon One and Two, track the life target immediately. You can only use paralyzing or freezing weapons. Do not harm the target! I repeat, do not harm the target!"
The mysterious man had already walked out of the spaceship wreckage's nutrition chamber. He stood straight, looking up at the magnificent starry sky. In the sky, there was a strange, elongated object shining brightly, surrounded by six giant humanoid creatures.
A shiver ran through him. In his life, he had looked up at the starry sky countless times, but this was the first time he saw something other than celestial bodies.
He was not afraid, just surprised and shocked. He adjusted his energy to get a clearer view of the strange objects, and just then, two giant humanoid creatures dove towards him from the sky.
He jumped up and sprinted down the mountain at full speed.
His intuition told him that those strange things were not living beings, but rather objects similar to the spaceship wreckage. The living beings inside those strange objects had already discovered him, were observing him, and were projecting various strange wavelengths of rays onto him.
He extended his perception energy into the air, penetrated the strange objects' shells, and stretched his thoughts into their interiors. He "saw" the scene inside.
"Ah!"
He let out a cry of surprise, lost his balance, and fell more than ten meters away, lying on the sand and gravel.
This was the first time he had made a sound since he was born, and it was also the first time he had fallen without being in danger.
That's because he "saw" his own kind.
Although those of his kind appeared fragile, there was no doubt that they were of the same race as him. He even saw women who were of the same race but with different structures.
