Chapter 159: Landing
Time passed, and Luo Wen’s consciousness returned to his primary body. According to calculations, he was still two hours away from “impacting” the yellow moon. However, given the numerous unexpected variables, these calculations were no longer reliable.
From this moment onward, he could land at any time. He had to remain vigilant, as his current velocity was near 3.5 km/s. A single moment of carelessness could result in a catastrophic crash on the moon’s surface.
To avoid distractions, Luo Wen connected over a hundred Blades to the Swarm Network, sharing his body’s perspective with them. He doubted any mishaps could occur with such robust support.
The view in space was stunning, but over time it became monotonous, with unchanging scenery and utter silence. Thankfully, with the Blades acting as high-level AIs to monitor his surroundings, Luo Wen had the luxury of some lighthearted banter over the network to stave off boredom.
He even took the opportunity to name the nearby planet “Genesis Planet,” as it was the birthplace of the Swarm. Luo Wen reasoned that as an insect destined to conquer the stars and seas, having a compelling backstory was essential. Titles like “Zhao Zilong of Changshan” or “Zhang Yide of Yan” inspired him.
Now that Genesis Planet had a name, he could proudly declare in future encounters, “I am Genesis F2A.” With some accomplishments under his belt, perhaps this name alone would strike fear into his enemies.
Before his imagination could spiral further, the Blades raised an alert. Luo Wen realized his trajectory was veering toward the moon. He quickly abandoned his banter with the rat folk and focused his full attention on the task at hand.
His orbital position was about 120 kilometers above the moon’s surface, and at his current speed of 3.5 km/s, a direct descent would take just over half a minute.
However, since he was approaching at an oblique angle, the time would be slightly longer.
