Knocking wonders from the space station
282 Steady exploration
Six lifting cableways were quickly erected. Each cableway is equipped with an automatic lifting hook. The special steel cable is enough to bear the weight of the CMC armor.
"How's the interference here?"
After a moment, the team member holding the instrument shook his head regretfully, "It's more serious! But the source of interference is not the magnetic storm on the surface, but... a certain mineral here, a reading that has never been seen on the Ashes Continent."
"Are there new minerals that interfere..."
Lu Feng looked at the faintly visible blue crystals in the cave and had some guesses in his mind.
——There may be a bumper harvest today!
"Team 1 will go down first, lift two armed packers to establish a defensive line, and check the surrounding hidden dangers."
Lu Feng still adopted a steady and steady strategy. Since the space door cannot be opened at any time, a slight mistake may cause the expedition team to lose members.
Soon, members of Team 1 descended neatly into the main cave with a drop of more than 20 meters. The ground was covered with a layer of slippery moss, and the power boots felt like stepping on butter.
There are a large number of giant mushrooms that are as tall as a person growing around. The caps are a dreamy blue-pink color. If you look closely, the translucent interior seems to be flowing with liquid.
"Wait, what is that!"
Suddenly, one of the team members discovered something.
With the help of the light from the cave ceiling, he saw a long tentacle, the base of which was hidden in the shadow, as if dormant there was a giant monster that chose people to eat.
When the two team members around him heard the shouting, they immediately turned their searchlights over, and the true nature of the tentacles was immediately revealed.
"Uh, this is... fungi?"
Under the snow-white light, several people saw a huge plant that was four to five meters tall. The blue-gray plant's stem was two to three meters thick, and its surface had a texture similar to that of earth mushrooms.
The difference is that the top cap of this big mushroom has 5 thick tentacles.
It looks hideous and terrifying.
These tentacles hang down naturally, and the tips are slightly curled like real tentacles. There are also a large number of wriggling spore bumps distributed on the surface of the tentacles. Judging from the outline, they are exactly the same as the suction cups on the octopus tentacles!
No wonder the expedition members admitted their mistake.
This thing looks like an octopus upside down on the top of a tree. The little thing looks quite unique.
After the false alarm, the team members began to carefully examine the surrounding environment, and took the initiative to clean up some obstructive vegetation and plan a foothold within a 20-meter radius.
Soon, the second batch of logistics teams was released, carrying a large number of multi-functional folding boards.
These folding panels are equipped with splicing locks on the edges and an adjustable stand on the back.
It can be spliced together to form a solid and flat metal floor, which is acid-resistant and heat-insulating, and blocks environmental pollution to equipment and materials; it can also be erected as a protective wall, which is strong and durable and plays a certain protective role.
If there is a folding frame, these boards can also be assembled into mobile houses.
The exquisite processing precision can even ensure the air tightness inside the room!
After the Ministry of Future Science and Technology developed this product, it was immediately equipped to various expedition teams and became a necessary material for each mission.
The Xuanwu 1 that returned that night was filled with such special plates.
If there are enough boards, the expedition team can even build a special excavation base in the underground cave for subsequent excavation teams to be stationed.
Soon, a metal platform 1 meter above the ground was built as a foothold.
The subsequent supply boxes were lifted down one after another and neatly stacked on the platform. A new power supply was assembled. Several rows of bright searchlights were fixed on the top of the defensive low wall around the platform. There were guardsmen behind the low wall who were vigilant.
of armed patrols.
This small outpost is surrounded by unknown underground vegetation, giving people a sense of peace of mind at first sight.
This is exactly what Lu Feng wants.
By daylight of the next day, the underground excavation outpost had been deployed, and the entrance to the cliff with a 20-meter drop had been widened to create a freight platform. The conveyor belt previously used to transport soil was extended here to transport expedition materials.
At the same time, two large-caliber cannons were erected on the cliff, located directly above the outpost, functioning as a watchtower. The firing range covered the surrounding outpost below and could provide fire support at any time.
The lift ropeway has also been expanded to 8, and they are connected in parallel to be able to bear a larger load each time.
The biology team also conducted preliminary sampling of the two main plants found.
Among them, the blue powder mushroom is temporarily judged to be harmless, while the spore clusters of the tentacle fungus are corrosive to a certain extent and will forcefully parasitize exposed human bodies, just like the situation encountered in the Shiva colony.
Fortunately, all expedition members wear professional protective clothing and can conduct research work safely.
"That's almost it... Team 1 is in front, Team 2 is behind, forming a search formation and heading towards the Prothean ruins!"
Soon, 20 heavily armed guards formed several tactical groups and penetrated into the giant mushroom forest under alternate cover.
The environment here is not conducive to exploration, because these densely packed large mushrooms will seriously obstruct the line of sight, resulting in a lack of warning time for the team members, so only the most elite guards can do it.
The two teams advanced steadily.
Every time you go deeper, team members will insert fluorescent road signs for guidance among the vegetation. The follow-up logistics team will follow up and use portable cutters to cut down these obstructive mushrooms, and then lay steel plates to build a road.
The road leading directly to the ruins.
After all, the Prothean ruins are an excavation project that requires long-term follow-up, so all exploration processes here are formulated based on long-term goals.
At first, the expedition went smoothly, but problems soon arose.
"Zi...the communication within the team has been interfered with. From now on, each team will use speakers and radio headsets to communicate."
"clear!"
The originally quiet team suddenly heard low and short voices.
suddenly……
"Captain, we found a moving light spot in the trees ahead, looking suspicious!"
When Liu Yong heard the team member's report, he turned around and saw that among the dim mushroom forest, there were some warm yellow light groups shaking in the shadows, a bit like fireflies.
But what is suspicious is that these light spots only oscillate around the center of a certain point, which seems a bit deliberate.
What something...
After thinking about it, Liu Yong still turned on the light. If there was anything there, it would undoubtedly alarm the other party.
Hiss—!
Sure enough, the thing that was illuminated let out an unpleasant roar—it was alive.
Liu Yong saw it,
The creature that made the strange scream was an upright species, but half of its chest was filled with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth. A long cartilage grew out of the top of its head, and a ball hung in front of it.
Luminous tissue.
Just like the lantern fish in the deep sea!
"It's so ugly... By the way, this thing isn't called a Lantern Beast, is it?"
Liu Yong muttered and raised the rifle in his hand.
