Chapter 509 Europa's Ocean
"The depth of the drill bit is 7012 meters! It has not reached the ocean yet!"
"continue!"
"The depth of the drill bit is 8410 meters!"
"The depth of the drill bit is 8411 meters! The ice layer has been dug through!"
On Europa, that is, in a rift valley in Europa, more than a dozen scientific researchers wearing heavy protective clothing are excitedly surrounding a super drilling platform with a height of 50 meters.
The drill they were manipulating had now dug through eight kilometers of ice and into the ocean below.
This means that they can drop a large number of probes into the ocean through this huge hole with a diameter of five meters, and conduct a more detailed exploration of the ocean under the ice of this satellite.
"To release the unmanned submarine, we need to go deeper to obtain information!" Li Yang, the leader, turned his head and motioned to the surrounding scientific researchers.
Because the Titan Group has roughly grasped the principle of the power generator, it can only rely on the continuous improvement of the Republic's own technology to make this equipment a step further, and Li Yang, the experimental body, is of little significance.
Putting Li Yang idle in the laboratory is also idle. It happened that the scientific research department of the Titan Group was going to explore Europa. Tang Shizhe took him as a miner for ten years, and Li Yang, who had rich combat experience, was sent to Europa to take charge of scientific research.
It just happened to let him guard the safety of these baby scientists of the Titan Group while commanding and managing, and by the way, he could also collect information on the adaptation of the "supernatural beings" to the alien abilities.
"The unmanned submarine has been launched!"
"The video screen is being sent back!"
"The submarine is being controlled to continue to penetrate into the unexplored area!" Li Yang and the scientists surrounded the submarine controller.
Because the Titan Group had launched atmospheric generation towers, those towers had drilled through the ice on the surface of Europa and collected some samples of Europa's ocean.
However, these samples are only samples around a hundred atmospheric generation towers after all, and they have not continued to penetrate deep into the ocean, so it is impossible to obtain effective information at all.
"Our sonar found some abnormalities!" The controller was taken aback suddenly, and transmitted the sound of sonar feedback to the helmets of various researchers.
The scientists closed their eyes and listened carefully. As the top scientists of the Titan Group in environmental science, biology and other disciplines, they have not only studied the ocean on the blue star, but also the planets of the Kaqi people such as Kaman and Kasa. have also been researched.
At this time, they are already extremely sensitive to the sounds made by creatures in the ocean!
"No! This is the sound of a creature! And there is more than one! It's a group!" A scientist suddenly said.
"A group? Are you saying that creatures that have begun to live in groups can be born on this satellite with a surface temperature of two hundred degrees below zero?"
"You have to know that the ocean of this planet can hardly receive sunlight! Even if it receives sunlight, the energy contained in the sunlight is pitifully small!" Li Yang shook his head in disbelief.
"Sir, you have to know that not all living things need sunlight, and the heat provided by submarine volcanoes can still give birth to complex living things!" a researcher retorted.
"The unmanned submarine is approaching the location of the sound! This may be the biggest discovery we have made since we came to Europa!" The submarine controller couldn't hide his inner excitement,
The hand controlling the rocker began to tremble slightly.
As the unmanned submarine continued to advance, the sound from the sonar became stronger and more chaotic.
"These sounds are regular! This is a kind of text! These creatures are communicating through sound!" The submarine controller suddenly stood up and took a step back and shouted.
"Impossible, how could two civilizations be born in one star system? Even if there are creatures in this environment, it is not enough for them to develop to the point where they have language!" Scientists also began to doubt their own knowledge and judgment.
"It's getting closer! They are approaching us! There are still twenty meters!"
"The maximum power of the searchlight! Take a clear picture of these guys for me!!" Li Yang slapped the railing of the drilling platform violently.
In an instant, all the lights on the unmanned submarine were turned on, and the sea area around the submarine was illuminated like daylight by the searchlights around the submarine.
A group of humanoid creatures with a height of about three meters and their entire bodies covered by round and smooth carapaces appeared in the camera.
The hands, feet and backs of these creatures have fish-like fins, and on their heads, under the top carapace, there is a huge palm-sized eyeball. Such a large eyeball is obviously for catching fish in low-light environments. to more light.
Below the eyeballs of these creatures is a petal-shaped mouthpart. If nothing else, it should be the mouth of these creatures, and the sound they make comes from a bulge behind their jaws. These bulges are in these creatures. Crazy vibrations when the creature is frightened!
In order to be able to attract companions, these creatures have also evolved light organs, and the seams below their carapaces are shining blue light outwards.
"Inconceivable creatures...but why are they in human form?" Li Yang looked at the screen with his mouth wide open.
It stands to reason that human form should be a good development direction on land. After all, it is a state of close balance in terms of athletic ability, brain development, and tool application. This is also the reason why the final direction of many biological evolutions is humanoid form.
But this is the ocean under the ice! Why did these creatures evolve human form! Shouldn't they look like fish?
"The creatures were communicating and seemed to be passing judgment on our sub."
"Too few words can be collected at present to form a language database of them!"
"However, it is certain that these creatures definitely have low-level intelligence! They must have language!" A scientist said to everyone in a serious tone.
Everyone knows what this means, it means that for the first time, humanity has encountered a civilization in its primitive state, which may have been living under human noses from a long time ago!
"We should get some biological samples!" a scientist suggested, raising his hand.
"Are you kidding? Article 18, Subparagraph 31 of the Republic's "Foreign Species Contact Law" stipulates that force cannot be used when contacting any primitive civilization, unless the other party is the first to threaten the lives of citizens!"
"Although we can not announce it to the public, once this civilization is sufficiently intelligent, they are very likely to expose what we have done after being exposed. In case these creatures take revenge, it is extremely unfavorable for the assimilation and utilization of the group and the republic These primitive creatures!" Li Yang glared at the scientist and shouted loudly.
