Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Lu Yongchang, who was interrupted, cast a praising look at Gao Yang.

"good."

"Although I don't know where or how they are connected, there is a high probability that these two layers of ocean are connected."

"This is good news for us as well."

Lu Yongchang picked up the water glass on the table and moistened his throat.

"The shells of these three robots should be strong enough to withstand the pressure on the ocean floor."

"Under the control of built-in programs, they may one day be able to go out of the inland sea and send us data again."

"Of course, it requires a certain amount of luck."

As he said that, Lu Yongchang shook his head helplessly.

Apparently, he didn't believe it himself.

"Then Professor, do we still need to send robots to detect it?" Zhao Zijie asked quickly.

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and rejected Zhao Zijie's proposal.

"No need for the moment."

"The performance of the robots on the Luanniao starship is not enough. The detection mission should be continued later."

"I will send [Taotie] with enough detection robots to pick you up."

…

Half a month passed by in a flash.

"Zijie, [Taotie] hasn't arrived yet?" Gao Yang sat in his seat and asked boredly.

Zhao Zijie shook his head silently and turned to look at the holographic image on the side.

[Warehouse capacity: 80%]

"I guess the departure time was delayed in order to build the detection robot." Zhao Zijie shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness, "But it just so happened that we were also delayed by tides and jellyfish, and the warehouse is not yet full."

Gao Yang stood up from the chair, walked to the porthole, and looked at the sparkling sea in the distance.

"By the way, it's been half a month. It's time for those three robots to come out of that inland sea, right?"

"You can pull it down."

Zhao Zijie curled his lips and said angrily: "Do you really think you are the chosen one? I guess these three robots will last forever..."

"Bip! Blop! Blop!"

A quick reminder interrupted Zhao Zijie's words.

[Robot communication signal detected]

"..." Zhao Zijie turned his head stiffly and looked at Gao Yang, "What the hell?"

Gao Yang looked at the flashing holographic image in astonishment and murmured to himself: "One, don't be kidding..."

[Data transmission channel successfully established]

[Transmitting stored data...]

"Holy shit, shit, shit! Gao Yang, what the hell are you doing?!" Zhao Zijie burst out with a series of swear words.

What is this?

The Chosen One?

"Don't be stunned!" Seeing Gao Yang still stunned by the porthole, Zhao Zijie shouted loudly, "Contact Professor Lu quickly!"

…

A few minutes later, long-distance communication with Mars was successfully connected.

In the holographic screen, Lu Yongchang also looked at Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang as if he had seen a ghost.

"Are you sure these are the three robots that fell into the inland sea?!"

Zhao Zijie swallowed and nodded subtly: "Professor, if there are no others on this planet, I think it should be them."

"Fuck...fuck!" Lu Yongchang struggled for a long time, holding back two Chinese characters expressing surprise.

What kind of luck is this?

To be honest, after learning that the three robots fell into the inland sea, Lu Yongchang gave up the idea of ​​waiting for the three robots to crawl out on their own.

The reason is very simple. The terrain is unknown, there is no navigation, and relying only on the poor automatic program, the probability of the three robots climbing out on their own is infinitely close to zero!

But it just happened!

"Where are they?" Lu Yongchang reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, asking in a low voice.

Especially after knowing what Gao Yang said, he felt that his world view was impacted.

Zhao Zijie quickly reached out and clicked a few times on the holographic image.

When he saw the result, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Zijie's eyes.

"Professor, it's not far from us, just a hundred kilometers away."

[Data transfer completed]

A line of text flashed in the holographic image on the side.

"Professor, the data transmission is completed!" Zhao Zijie's voice showed a bit of excitement, "I will send it to you now."

…

Transfer speed is fast.

Sitting in the office, Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic image in front of him, with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

"Zero, open the file and let me see what this inland sea looks like!"

"Okay, Professor."

When the file is opened, the holographic image is completely dark, and a faint shaking can be seen.

Lu Yongchang frowned: "Zero, speed up, just skip the useless scenes."

The image changes rapidly until it freezes on a certain screen.

A long corridor.

Driven by the "water flow", the robot slowly walked towards the corridor ahead.

The floor of the corridor gradually slopes upward, and its diameter becomes narrower and narrower.

What was originally a spacious space for three robots to move forward side by side gradually turned into a narrow passage for only one robot to move forward.

Inside the tunnel, waxy substances can be seen everywhere attached to the walls of the tunnel.

Before Lu Yongchang could ask questions, Zero released a series of preliminary test data.

"Professor, they are some organic substances with complex composition. The robot has sampled them."

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and asked again: "What about the composition of seawater?"

"It has a lot more organic matter than the Kraken-Mare Sea, and the temperature is about 1 degree Celsius higher."

As the words fell, the holographic screen suddenly opened up!

"Professor, according to detection, the robot has arrived at the Kraken-Mare Sea. The depth at this time is about 250 meters."

"The next picture is the real-time image coming from the robot."

With that said, Zero controlled the robot and looked back towards the way it came.

"This is..." The moment he saw the terrain structure, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but froze on the spot.

ice volcano

"Crater? Ice volcano?"

"So that's it, the two oceans are connected through ice volcanoes!"

The so-called cryovolcano is a low-temperature volcano, and the explosive materials are usually water, ammonia or methane.

At extremely low temperatures, liquid methane and other organic materials slowly flow out of the ice crater.

Like a volcano erupting.

"Zero, control the robot and look around." Lu Yongchang suddenly said, "Add the searchlight brightness to the maximum!"

"receive."

After a few seconds, the originally dark screen suddenly lit up.

Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of joy.

"As expected!"

In the real-time video, endless yellowish jellyfish are swirling around the ice crater.

The increased temperature after the searchlights were turned up seemed to attract their attention.

Seeing those jellyfish "swimming" towards the robot, Zero quickly turned down the power of the searchlight.

Fortunately, the "warm" liquid ejected from the ice crater attracted the attention of these jellyfish in time, and the three robots survived.
