Following the established procedure, the shuttle began bombarding the ground with high-energy rays at the coordinates where the Vanguard Team's last signal vanished, shattering the glacial rocks and sand into atoms. It was akin to a pile driver pounding the earth, but the frequency of the laser beams was so high that to the naked eye, it appeared as a single streak of fiery red light, cutting open the surface along its path.
This step went quite smoothly, didn't take much time, and there were no 'wild animals' to cause any disturbance. However, due to the previous nuclear collapse, all the signal amplification devices set up by the earlier Vanguard Team had been destroyed, so Li Fan could not determine the specific situation below the surface.
