Road to science and technology

When it stayed in the Kuiper Belt of the solar system, the Yuansong spacecraft had been transformed into a streamlined shape suitable for flying in the atmosphere. It can be said that almost all the original materials of the Yuansong spacecraft have been replaced, and even the shape has become a melon seed. shape.

If it weren't for the commemorative meaning of the name Yuanxing, it could have been renamed the Five-Spice Melon Seed spacecraft.

Before Yuanxing entered the atmosphere, it began to launch satellites to the planet named T4 by Yue Yuanzhou. This planet that originally had no satellites also had its first satellite, even if it was artificial, and then the second, The third one

Until the fifty-fourth satellite, the originally deserted synchronous and asynchronous orbit suddenly became lively. With the arrival of Yue Yuanzhou, the excitement was naturally not only those satellites that could be seen directly, but also those satellites that were passed back and forth in the orbit of the planet. signal electromagnetic waves.

These satellites formed a satellite network and began to monitor the T4 planet in all directions. In order to find the original signal source more accurately and quickly, after the Yuanxing landed, Yue Yuanzhou released some unmanned aerial vehicles the size of bricks.

Coincidentally, this type of aircraft is also shaped like a melon seed. It is a multi-functional intelligent aircraft, so it will naturally have energy shields and small energy pulse weapons, as well as detector functions.

Now these began to fly in all directions on the planet, continuously transmitting various messages to Yue Yuanzhou.

After that, Yue Yuanzhou sat on the Yuanxing like a boss and waited, and the same was true for the intelligent mode of these intelligent aircraft. They were like bees, and the core terminal was on the Yuanxing and was directly controlled by Yue Yuanzhou.

"Snow fields, snow-capped mountains, frozen, dead, lifeless!" Two days later, Yue Yuanzhou made a conclusion about the planet. Now every inch of the planet's surface has been explored.

What Yue Yuanzhou said was actually talking about the surface of the planet, so the detection operation naturally did not stop, but began to move under the ice.

"Could it be under dozens of meters of ice?" Yue Yuanzhou thought for a while and thought he might as well try using soul detection. The reason why he didn't use it before was because he preconceived the idea that the original signal was sent by some kind of equipment. It came out, and there is no life in this kind of place.

Following Yue Yuanzhou's operation, the soul device suddenly emitted a curtain of inert neutrinos, scanning back and forth towards the planet beneath his feet. The neutrinos passed through the entire planet without any hindrance.

"Huh?! Soul fluctuations coming from under the ice?" Yue Yuanzhou quickly analyzed it carefully. If according to the previous cultivators, all things have spirits, so even a stone on the side of the road has the possibility of cultivating a righteous person. And soul fluctuations can be detected here. At worst, they are animals with instincts.

"Hey, this fluctuation is relatively strong, so there is another group!!!"

At this time, several melon-shaped aircraft flew over the equator. After finding a place where the ice layer was relatively thin, they plunged head-first into the ice. After hitting the ice, these aircraft began to rotate, and for a while, ice chips Flying.

After a while, a hole leading under the ice was formed, and the aircraft successfully entered under the ice. Yue Yuanzhou, who returned to his seat on the Yuanxing, also saw what was under the ice through the aircraft. world.

"Water, it's all water!"

Under the ice is a world of water. Since the sunlight is blocked by tens of meters of ice, the main tone here is black. Apart from darkness, it is water.

However, this environment did not pose much hindrance to the aircraft. The melon-shaped aircraft appearance was made of a single piece of alloy, and all functional parts were sealed inside. Although it was not built from the microscopic level like Silver Mist, it was still considered top-notch. It uses conventional engineering materials, and the flight mode is not a conventional propeller, but a suspension mode like a whale eye.

Now these aircraft fly everywhere after arriving in the water world. In fact, it is more accurate to say "swim" here. The streamlined shape adds a lot of convenience to the movement of these aircraft in the water.

One of their aircraft is also like a fish, heading towards the place where the soul fluctuations are larger and denser.

About one kilometer away from the place where soul fluctuations are concentrated, the aircraft slowed down and approached slowly. As the distance got closer, the detector on the aircraft could already detect some water fluctuations, which were actually a kind of sound wave, because It's still far away, so no useful information can be drawn.

The distance is getting closer and closer. At this time, the location of the detector, if calculated from the contact surface between the ice layer and the water, is already 2,300 meters underwater, and further down is the soil layer at the bottom of the water. At this time The detector could clearly receive this sound wave, which seemed to follow a certain pattern. Slowly, the true appearance of this soul gathering place began to appear in Yue Yuanzhou's eyes.

Yes, it was in his eyes, because Yue Yuanzhou now saw a picture.

"Light!!!" This light is not a hot light source, but a faint cold light. This cold light is emitted from a gray tubular object.

"Is this an intelligent creature? It looks like a drill no matter how you look at it! This kind of animal... uh no, now it should be said that it is an intelligent creature. Its appearance is quite greasy, like a fish, but this drill-like thing, like them A creation?" Yue Yuanzhou looked at the picture sent back, raised his right hand and touched his chin, where he came across a bunch of newly grown stubble.

The appearance of such an animal that seemed to be an intelligent creature in such a harsh environment immediately aroused Yue Yuanzhou's great interest, so the aircraft stopped under the cover of a nearby underwater rock formation and observed carefully.

This object that emits faint light is about nine meters long, with a radius of about fifty centimeters. Its head is about one meter, and it is composed of a spiral object. Under the head is an object of unknown material about forty to fifty centimeters, and then All the way down is a large section that is glowing with faint light, and there are many holes on the side.

It looks like a giant drill bit, and the radius of the drill bit is obviously larger than the bottom part.

At this time, twenty-four animals that were as big as dogs but had streamlined bodies like fish began to surround the big drill. Under the faint light, their shapes were also revealed.

They have a purple outer skin, a big head, and a strip protruding from the head. The head is larger and resembles an tentacle, and it is also covered with a layer of gray substance. This tentacle is bent backwards. They probably look like this because they move in the water. The tip of the tentacles is their mouth, which is obviously like a fish.

Apart from their mouths and antennae, there is nothing else on their heads. Next, there are two smooth hands on both sides. It is a bit inaccurate to say hands, because the front ends of these two smooth hands are actually two suckers, and they are like boneless. Swinging at will.

At this time, these twenty-four purple fish, let’s say they are species from the T4 planet, are on both sides of the big drill. They stretch out their two boneless arms and use the suction cups at the front to suck the big drill. , then vigorously swung the tail on the lower body, and opened and closed its mouth to emit bursts of unified and strange sound waves.

The big drill also changed from lying horizontally to an upright state with their efforts. When it stabilized, the twenty-four purple fish swayed their tails and floated around the big drill, while the big drill also stood there steadily. .

At this time, among the purple fish that had been standing still, one purple fish that was obviously different from the others began to open its mouth and make sound waves.

The reason why it is different is that compared to the dozens of others before, this purple fish has an extra cyan helmet that almost covers the entire head.

At this time, the purple fish wearing a helmet started swimming, swam around the huge head, and then took the lead to swim upwards. Then eight more fish also wore helmets, and there was a sharp purple fish sucking on the suction cup in their hand. The fish followed.

At this time, the twenty-four purple fish that were floating just now also used their two suction cup hands to suck the big drill bit, and then sent out waves of sound waves from their mouths, swung their tails wildly, and after waves of water waves stirred up and the soil underneath flew up, The big drill also started to move slowly, following the purple fish wearing helmets in front of it and slowly moving upward.

Immediately afterwards, more than twenty purple fish also quickly swung their tails and swam upwards following the big drill.
