The world enters the age of myth

"Land reclamation? This job is still in the early stages. We don't know what is on this land yet. The only plan is to cut down trees. For such a large virgin forest, the wood cutting machine in our warehouse may not be enough! "

"I think living on the Unkai is not bad. Although the room is a bit small, you will get used to it over time. If you live in the forest, hey, the insects alone are enough to eat a pot!"

"What's the matter? As long as you can make enough money!"

"I think the Yunhai is safer, and you won't starve to death here..."

The discussions in the restaurant were all trivial matters, but it was obvious that everyone had a very strong sense of belonging to the Unkai, and everyone believed that this ship was the safest place.

The host on the TV screen was introducing this newly discovered continent. The drone flew two hundred kilometers in one direction and still found no end. This shows that this is indeed a large continent, not an island.

The land is covered with high and low virgin forests. The taller trees can even reach a hundred meters, somewhat similar to cedar trees on Earth.

Photos taken from the plane also found traces of some small beasts.

However, these beasts were hidden in the forest, and only a few small parts were photographed, which were not very clear...

…

At this moment, at the central building of the Unkai, dozens of high-level government officials were discussing the relevant details of the landing.

"Currently, based on what our drones have observed, this is a planet similar to the Earth. The climate, atmosphere, and microbial environment are quite similar to the Earth. The specific situation remains to be further studied."

"Okay, I know what everyone wants to know most, so I won't go into too much nonsense... about the intelligent civilization here..."

On the stage, a lean man in his forties was speaking.

His name is Guo Xianfeng, and he is the highest-ranking person in the original army. His main function is to be responsible for the research of new weapons and equipment.

But at this moment, Guo Jun has become the leader of the investigation team. There is no way. He was originally responsible for weapons and equipment, so he still has to bite the bullet and take over.

He swallowed and said: "On this continent, traces of intelligent life... exist! But they are not obvious. If you look at these photos, there used to be a city here. We have reason to believe that intelligent life on this planet has been extinct for some time. It’s been a long time, maybe decades, or even hundreds of years… maybe it was caused by a supernatural disaster.”

After the man said this, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.

Lu Yiming looked at the photo on his hand, his pupils slightly dilated.

The drone captured some high-rise buildings, some concrete pavements, and even some rusty steel bars!

"High-rise buildings mean that the indigenous civilization here has at least developed a certain level of technology. What level of technology is reinforced concrete..."

"If the intelligent civilization here dies...we...well, the situation is not optimistic." Lu Yiming sighed inwardly.

Because of this piece of evidence, people can't help but feel a little pessimistic.

So what exactly is this unknown disaster? Can mankind's current technological strength be able to compete?

There are a large number of plants living on the land, as well as a small number of wild animals. If they can survive normally, why not humans?

Has the super disaster that once broke out disappeared?

And after those brain-control insects discovered the land, why did they escape here?

These questions naturally emerged from my mind.

But the Unkai cannot give up directly. If it gives up exploration because of these questions, it is naturally impossible. What's more, there are still traces of the city here. Maybe there will be any special gains?

Even if you cut down some trees and pick up some garbage, it is still good.

"Everyone, please look at the photo. Our drone captured the city 120 kilometers away from here. If we follow the population density of our planet, the estimated population size of this city is between 4 million and 10 million. It's a large city in between... It's hard to say the specific technological level. It's possible that it's a little behind us, or a little more advanced."

Lu Yiming stared at the big screen and pondered for a while.

There are actually very few traces of artificial construction. Most of the houses have collapsed and are covered with various ivy-like plants. If you don't look carefully, you would think that these are raised hills.

Occasionally, you can find steel bars and cement exposed from the ground, but due to the passage of time, these steel bars have long been rusty.

The tenacious plants have taken over the entire city.

"If our cities were not inhabited for decades or hundreds of years, they would be like this. The resilience of nature is actually far beyond human imagination."

At this time, Lu Yiming asked: "Guo Jun, can the automatic exploration of the robot complete this kind of task? If there is an unknown disaster with a high degree of danger on this continent, is it too dangerous for human exploration?"

"Hey, actually we have thought about this problem, but after research, we found that it is not possible!" Guo Xianfeng sighed, "The terrain is too complicated, with obstacles everywhere, bumpy and raised roads, various trees and shrubs And collapsed building materials blocked the way. Our robots are completely unable to walk in such a complex terrain environment. It is not impossible to use drones, but... drones cannot obtain too much data of."

Drones are flying in the sky. It is difficult and almost impossible to fly into a building and use a robotic arm to carry something.

"As for our intelligent robot, forget it..."

When Guo Xianfeng said this, he shook his head again. The performance of current anthropomorphic robots is really poor. It is very difficult to even pick up a leaf. It is simply difficult to get the robot to pick up a hair with its fingers.

A security expert said: "In the end, we still have to rely on humans...but safety measures must be sufficient. Not only must the safety of the front line be ensured, but the safety of the Unkai must also be guaranteed."

Lu Yiming sighed: "I understand, the relevant mobilization has been done a long time ago. Manpower is not a problem."

After discussing it for a while, Ding Yuan issued the final order after discussing all the details: "Since there is no way to explore intelligently, let's start executing it according to the established plan at eight o'clock tomorrow morning..."

…

At eight o'clock the next morning, amid lively discussions, the Yunhai Shelter finally sailed to the edge of the Yang River. Through the telescope on the top floor of the Central Building, it was possible to observe the lush virgin forest 10 kilometers away!

This is also the first new continent discovered by humans outside Yanghe!

Everyone has high hopes for it, whether it is supplementing resources or collecting information, this is a new starting point.

Amid the enthusiastic attention of all the people, the exploration of the New World has officially begun!

For the sake of caution, the first phase of the work will be animal experiments. A small drone will carry more than 10 carefully cultivated rats into this virgin forest and let them move freely to detect a certain degree of Danger.
