Road to science and technology

Yue Yuanzhou's aircraft naturally followed the big drill all the way, 2,300 meters, which is not a short distance. Although it is underwater, the gravity of this planet is 1.21 times that of the earth, so these purple fish want to It is not easy to transport large drill bits up.

Sure enough, after these twenty-four purple fish pushed the big drill up to a thousand meters, they changed to another batch. After changing three batches, they finally pressed the top of the big drill against the bottom of the ice, and then maintained it steadily. The attitude of holding a big drill bit.

"This is about launching a 'rocket'! We can build a 'rocket', so why do we need people to carry it? No...it should be said that we use fish to carry it. The signal is made by these guys."

While Yue Yuanzhou was secretly observing, a purple fish wearing a helmet emitted three sound waves regularly. The intervals between the first two sound waves were the same, and there was a strange jitter at the end of the last sound wave.

"This sound wave should be a countdown." Judging from the scene, this is what it meant. Yue Yuanzhou was wondering whether the signal was sent from such a device.

At this time, the group of purple fish dispersed in all directions, and then the bottom of the big drill bit began to emit a stronger light, and then began to rotate rapidly. Interestingly, there seemed to be a speed change gear in the middle of the big drill bit.

The result of this variable speed gear is that the head of the big drill bit rotates slower than the bottom, allowing the big drill bit to obtain stronger rotational force.

The big drill bit continued to drill upwards toward the ice layer, and the drilled ice chips suddenly fell down along the drilled channel. At this time, the whole big drill bit had left the water surface. In addition to ejecting luminous gas downwards, the bottom of the drill bit also It continuously rotates and sprays out to the side, providing rotational power for the drill bit. At this time, the bottom layer of the big drill bit breaks away from its body and falls back into the water, while the rest of the drill bit continues to work.

Finally, in about five minutes of clicking and drilling, the big drill bit finally made a hole in the thirty-meter-thick ice layer from bottom to top, and then broke out of the ice layer. Then the remaining thrust pushed the big drill bit upwards. After reaching a height of more than ten meters, the bottom began to stop working and the big drill bit fell back to the ground.

After a while, a door cracked open in the middle of the big drill, and then something like a tank fell out of the door, except that the bottom was not a chain of a tank, but a kind of spiked metal wheel, and there was no barrel in the middle. It is like a sealed iron can with two mechanical arms on both sides. As soon as this thing comes out, it starts to use the mechanical arm to pull out a rope from the big drill bit, and then drops it into the hole just made.

Another aircraft waiting on the ground recorded this scene, and Yue Yuanzhou immediately sent micro nanorobots into the water in order to find out how they communicated.

At this moment, Yue Yuanzhou finally received the same signal as before. This signal was indeed emitted from the middle of the big drill bit to all directions. It was an electromagnetic wave signal.

Just when Yue Yuanzhou was a little disappointed, another signal came out from under the water. This signal was a quantum signal. The most important thing was that the detector under the water detected it. This signal came from the head of the purple fish wearing a helmet and shouting slogans. It comes from inside.

"A creature that generates quantum information?!" Yue Yuanzhou was a little doubtful whether it was emitted from the helmet on his head, but the next scene convinced him that it was emitted from the head of this purple fish.

Because the purple fish without helmets also sent out this signal one after another, and then swam to the bottom of the water, probably returning to their old nest.

Yue Yuanzhou's nanorobots also followed these purple fish all the way. These purple fish moved forward for a certain distance and then started to go downwards. Because there is no light, optical detectors can no longer be used, but for micro nanodetectors, Not difficult.

About thirty minutes later, the micro-nano detector clearly detected that the water temperature was significantly higher. Sure enough, they arrived at a warm water area after a while. Judging from the information fed back by the detector, the bottom of this water area was a very hot area. The rock formations are full of stone pillars and there are many holes in the rock formations.

Not only that, the detector also detected the presence of various regular electromagnetic waves in the cavities under some rock formations. In order to understand how this species communicates, the detector began to search for this population.

Seeing this, Yue Yuanzhou sent more micro-nano detectors to explore the populations in other places. At the same time, he occasionally captured some of these creatures and did some dissection, DNA analysis, soul experiments, and the like.

Finally, two or three days later, Yue Yuanzhou discovered the mathematics-related books in their lair. To be precise, they should be geometric figures. In a rock cave, there were ice walls with deep grooves carved on them. , these grooves form some simple straight lines, triangles, squares, circles, etc. These are geometric figures with messy symbols engraved next to them.

Judging from the pictures captured by the detector's optical equipment, it is not written at all, but a bunch of garbled characters. The ghost symbols are more beautiful than these symbols, and this species has no other written records of this type except some simple geometric figures. , but there are some devices that can emit electromagnetic waves. These devices look like lumps of stone in appearance.

However, Yue Yuanzhou, who already knew that these creatures could send out quantum signals from their brains, was not in a hurry. Even if he couldn't decipher their language, it didn't matter. Anyway, he didn't think that he had gone to great lengths just to get to the top of the ice. What kind of high technology can a species have? All we have to do is capture a few more and dissect them to figure out how they can physically emit quantum signals.

"Uh, how can this be done?" At this time, the detector sent feedback information about emitting electromagnetic waves at the dents in the ice wall. It was found that when the electromagnetic waves were emitted to these ghostly symbols and then received their diffracted waves, they became incomprehensible. The same, these received bands seem to show a certain pattern.

It didn't take long for these regular messages to be deciphered by Yue Yuanzhou combined with the data obtained from various anatomy and soul memory area operations.

Yue Yuanzhou then got more information about this species from the place where they stored the information, which was the stone bumps that could emit electromagnetic waves.

"Because geometric figures are the most basic component of senses, they are carved on the ice wall. Even though these intelligent creatures have no eyes, they can still use electromagnetic wave detection and senses to detect the relationship between these figures and the outside world. Hey, this Is this form of energy Qi or special biological energy?" Yue Yuanzhou looked at the information obtained from this civilization, which described the development history of this civilization and their understanding of the world.

——————

Just as Yue Yuanzhou was carefully looking at these information, the position of the big drill bit that had broken out of the ice finally started to move again. The wheeled jar that had been motionless after dropping the rope now started to move again. , it took something off the big drill and threw it haphazardly on the ice.

Just at this time, the rope at the ice cave started to shake. After a short while, an identical object in a jar climbed up along the rope from the ice cave, followed by two, three, and eight others. They were almost identical.

After all the subsequent eight came up, the one that came up first with the big drill was the first to send out quantum information, because now Yue Yuanzhou had deciphered their language, so he could finally understand their conversation.

Jar No. 1 sent a message to the other jars: "We are the pioneers of civilization. We must explore this extraterrestrial land for civilization. The existence of this extraterrestrial land dates back to the 'Black' more than four thousand years ago." It was predicted, and one thousand three hundred years later, the great wise man "Sishi" used formulas to prove that this environment does exist. Three thousand years later, we can stand here now because of Xishi's theory of extraterrestrial gravity. There is not much energy left in the world below. In order to continue civilization, we must take this step and shake our tails for the glory of civilization!"

After hearing this, the group of jars wearing iron spiked wheels began to take action, took out the equipment they brought, and got busy here and there.

At this time, Yue Yuanzhou, who was reading the information on the Yuanxing, had already shifted his attention here. He clicked his tongue: "It turns out that these wheeled jars are purple fish space equipment. No wonder they have insulation layers!"

"Hey, boss, I've heard that we sent out so many signals more than a hundred years ago. Is it true that there was no response? Doesn't it mean that we may be the only intelligent life? I heard about that. It shocked the whole world." Seeing that the other purple fish had gone to work, one of the purple fish that looked more slippery quickly came to the purple fish who should be the leader of this operation. They seemed to be quite familiar with each other, but This naughty purple fish used its mechanical arm to knock the leader's jar from behind, and then sent a wave of messages.
