Chapter 930
He stared intently at the display screen, able to feel the ship drawing closer to its destination.
"Now, set the ship's flight mode to orbit the destination," Xinfeng Xunlei ordered.
Su Yu immediately lunged for the console beside him, pressed several buttons, and as the ship sailed toward the ruins, he hit the confirm key.
The ship began to slowly circle the ruins.
Su Yu stood before the console, observing the "meteorite" at close range.
In truth, this meteorite was not small; while it could not compare to Blue Star, it was at least one-third its size.
This "meteorite" looked truly bizarre. From where Su Yu stood, it appeared as if veiled in a layer of mist, looking foggy and gray, making it impossible to see what lay inside.
Su Yu's curiosity was piqued, and he asked Xinfeng Xunlei.
"Can I get a little closer? I want to see what's under that layer of mist."
Xinfeng Xunlei clearly hesitated for a moment.
"I don't know... I have never been to this place, and even Julong has only heard rumors of it. I don't know what might be up there, but proceed with caution. I advise you not to get any closer."
After hearing this from Xinfeng Xunlei, Su Yu pulled his hand back.
He searched the panel for the landing point Xinfeng Xunlei had told him about, but to his surprise, the entire ruin was enveloped in something like mist, and he could not confirm the landing site at all.
Su Yu rubbed his brow, feeling frustrated.
"Don't rush," Diluoluo said. "Just look slowly. The landing point must be on the meteorite. Didn't you say you believe in yourself? Give it a try."
Su Yu steadied his mind, turned his gaze back to the screen, and searched for the so-called landing point.
Xinfeng Xunlei had told him the landing point was at the exact center of the four-way intersection of the entire "meteorite"—meaning if one viewed the sphere as a plane, the landing points formed a complete circle.
But landing like this required too high a level of technical skill. Su Yu found it hard to be certain he could land exactly where he wanted. Furthermore, although the landing points formed a circle, the distance between points was very short; the slightest carelessness could easily lead to drifting off course.
He swallowed hard, his gaze lingering on the panel.
The ship was in constant circular motion, meaning Su Yu had no way to stop and confirm the required landing spot, and the ship's rotation caused Su Yu's intended trajectory to drift slightly.
Su Yu felt like breaking down, but he had always been a calm and self-possessed person. He moved the ship a little closer to the "meteorite" and then kept it in place, maintaining a hovering state.
With the ship no longer moving, Su Yu could finally calm his mind to observe the landing position.
Xinfeng Xunlei watched from the side, also feeling anxious, but he urged Su Yu: "Don't rush, take your time."
Su Yu nodded, but his brow furrowed tighter.
Success was the only option; failure was not permitted, especially since the consequences of failure were something Su Yu could not afford.
He tried various methods to aim for the landing point, and finally, he found a good way to mark it.
Su Yu treated the mist as dirt floating on the surface, and since dirt is always irregular, he took a black speck that happened to be stuck at the landing point as the place he would land this trip...
Although the landing point was fixed, the actual operation was much harder than confirming the spot.
Su Yu took a deep breath, gently nudged the joystick, and the ship sank, descending a little.
Both Machine Emperors realized Su Yu was about to make his move. This time, Diluoluo didn't joke, but said with a tense expression:
"Don't let your hand shake. Watch the position; our margin for error is zero."
Su Yu gritted his teeth and nodded as a response to Diluoluo.
He dared not be the slightest bit distracted. His palm wrapped around the joystick, controlling the ship's movement up, down, left, and right, while his eyes remained locked on the position where he would land, gradually closing in on the "meteorite."
The closer he got, the clearer Su Yu could see. It turned out there was no mist at all; it was just a pile of sand being blown up, surrounding the entire ruin, which was why it hadn't been clear.
Su Yu controlled the ship to nudge inward bit by bit. As he approached the landing point, he slowly closed his eyes.
"I've never believed in gods or Buddhas, but at a time like this, I feel I should believe... Amitabha..."
Diluoluo and Xinfeng Xunlei were speechless for a moment hearing Su Yu chanting like a spell, but when they saw Su Yu's tightly closed eyes, they remained silent. After all, this was the first hurdle where he was gambling with his life.
Su Yu adjusted the ship's position. If he was lucky enough, he only needed to press the forward key, and the ship would land on the designated spot.
And if he wasn't so lucky...
Su Yu didn't even dare to think about it, but he felt a strange confidence in himself. He felt he could make it. ===== CHAPTER 932 =====
