If you want to achieve all these functions at once, the technical difficulty is not just a little bit.

This requires Jiang Cheng to integrate a lot of advanced technology onto the small landing module to accomplish so many different tasks.

Other technologies don't bother Jiang Cheng too much; they mostly delay him a little bit, and sooner or later he can incorporate them onto the landing module.

The most challenging thing for Jiang Cheng is figuring out how to withstand the powerful winds on Neptune.

It's important to know that the wind speed there might exceed three thousand kilometers per hour, completely unimaginable.

Under such intense wind, anything would be blown to the sky; nothing can survive under such ferocious winds.

No wind speed as fast as this has ever appeared on Water Ball; Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to solve this problem.

That's the strongest wind in the solar system, not something people can generally encounter.

Don't underestimate the power of wind; although it doesn't seem strong in everyday life, we come across it regularly.

However, once the wind speed reaches a certain level, it undergoes a drastic change, gaining unparalleled destructive power.

As long as the wind speed exceeds one hundred kilometers per hour, it can be considered a typhoon.

Everyone is probably aware of the power of typhoons, which can blow away cars and often cause catastrophic damage to coastal areas.

What about a wind exceeding three thousand kilometers per hour?

It could be disastrous enough to destroy everything; humanity simply cannot withstand something like that.

If the fierce Neptune wind appeared on Water Ball, it could easily erase a city from the map.

This is not just random talk; Jiang Cheng has already calculated the destructive power of such winds.

Ultimately, he discovered that if such winds appeared in coastal cities, they would instantly destroy all buildings and level the entire city to the ground.

Facing such terrifying destructiveness, attempting to use a small landing module to resist it is a significant challenge for Jiang Cheng.

Luckily, Jiang Cheng eventually thought of a solution using a previously developed technology.

If the Energy Shield technology is applied to the landing module, it should be able to withstand the winds on Neptune.

The Energy Shield Jiang Cheng developed earlier was prepared for spacecraft.

At the time, Jiang Cheng developed this protective device to allow the spacecraft to withstand meteoroids in space.

The Energy Shield can withstand the impact of meteoroids, so resisting wind shouldn't be too much of a problem.

This intangible Energy Shield technology indeed suits using a physical protection device in such situations but is unable to withstand such strong winds.

No matter how solidly Jiang Cheng designs the exterior of the landing module, or how well he designs buffer devices, it won't help.

Because even if the exterior shell of the landing module can block the wind, the impact of the wind cannot be completely eliminated.

Then the landing module will certainly be blown away by the wind, instantly being carried several kilometers away.

In the end, even if the astronauts inside are unharmed, the entire mining mission will fail.

So, figuring out how to ensure the landing module isn't blown away is the key issue.

The Energy Shield solves this problem perfectly, preventing any chance of being blown away.

The Energy Shield is an invisible energy defense mechanism; if a layer is deployed in the Zhou District of the landing module, the wind cannot touch the landing module.

All the impact from the fierce winds will be blocked by the exterior Energy Shield, and the inside landing module will remain untouched.

As long as the Energy Shield remains intact and the energy output stays stable, the winds on Neptune can be resisted.

The Energy Shield is the most suitable protective device for resisting the wind, and it's the ultimate solution to the problem.

After finding the solution, Jiang Cheng immediately invested in the work to hurry along the research and development.

Figuring out how to install so much equipment onto the landing module is also a headache for Jiang Cheng.

You should know that just the Energy Shield requires a significant energy supply, needing Jiang Cheng to increase the energy device capacity further.

To ensure the energy supply to the Energy Shield, a larger reactor is needed to power the entire landing module.

But this reduces the space available for other equipment, making it challenging to have so many functionalities.

Coordinating the different devices and installing them all onto the landing module is a challenging problem for anyone.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng's scientific prowess is not something ordinary people can match; if someone else were in charge of this, they might never research it successfully for years.

The technical issues involved are too numerous for ordinary people to handle.

But with Jiang Cheng handling it, all issues suddenly cease to be problems; any difficulty is easily overcome by Jiang Cheng.

After a month of hard work, Jiang Cheng finally manufactured this special landing module.

When Jiang Cheng completed his part of the work, other groups also delivered good news.

They also completed the tasks Jiang Cheng assigned to them, manufacturing the equipment needed for the mining operation.

Everything needed for this mission is now ready, and the formal operation can begin at any time.

After Jiang Cheng and his technical team finished preparing the preliminary equipment, the next step is the actual mining operation.

Jiang Cheng devised a very detailed operational plan for this mining operation on Neptune.

He considered all environmental data from the vicinity of Alpha Crystal.

This operational plan accounts for all emergency situations and includes contingency plans for each.

As long as all astronauts strictly adhere to this plan, they will be able to successfully extract Alpha Crystal.

Now that everything is ready, it's time for the official operation.

Jiang Cheng led his group of technical personnel along with the selected best astronauts, boarding the Pioneer and embarking on the journey to Neptune.

After several hours of flight, the planet emitting a radiant blue glow finally appeared before everyone.

Jiang Cheng then stood at the front of the bridge, scrutinizing the blue planet through the transparent structure ahead.

Neptune looks just as it did the last time he saw it, with no changes at all.

Time flows very slowly for a planet.

If you want a planet to show changes, you need billions of years; otherwise, it's not feasible.
