After seeing the reliefs in the ruins of the city, Hao Ren knew that the original civilization of this planet had a large-scale self-rescue operation at the last moment. They launched a huge spaceship to send part of the "fire" into space. Go, although there is no follow-up record of this operation on the relief, it at least gives a possibility: some humans on this planet may have escaped.
So his skepticism was not unreasonable: the craft seen during the day didn't necessarily come from the planet's surface.
"I think what the landlord said makes sense," Lily, as a clever literary dog, was the first to express her support at this time, "The surface of the planet is the home of the eldest son, and staying on the surface to fight hand-to-hand with the eldest son is basically looking for death , so compared to the human resistance forces left behind on the surface, I think the chances of surviving those "fire seeds" launched into space are significantly higher."
"To be honest, even the ark launched into space... may not survive," Nangong Sanba smacked his lips, "The eldest son has the ability to fight in space, and the spaceship is always weaker than the fortress on the ground. The wave of people who were launched into the sky didn’t run out at all, and the resistance army who stayed on the surface may instead create places like shelters because they found the neural activity patterns of the eldest son.”
"There are two possibilities, and the specific situation can only be concluded after investigation," Hao Ren shook his head. "In short, the existence of survivors is certain, and they are still trying to repel those tentacles on the surface... Nolan, Do you have any extra probes?"
"The probe reserves are sufficient, and I brought a lot of those gadgets. But now there are only general-purpose models in the atmosphere, and the storage container of the general-purpose probe for space and space was blown up during the transition. I have to repair the factory module first to Make a new batch."
"In the atmosphere... that's fine. You can expand the scale of the probe. I hope you can complete the scan of the planet's surface and within ten kilometers underground within two days. If you find a survivor's base, you will blackmail a group of them." Get the information."
"Nolan understands."
"Also, can the engineering assembly table in the laboratory be used?"
Nolan was silent for two seconds, as if to confirm the condition of the equipment, and then gave an affirmative answer: "The laboratory is in good condition, and the energy is slightly insufficient, but it is more than enough to activate only one engineering assembly platform."
"You transform a few self-discipline machines into armed models, and tomorrow I will take them to the forest border in the northwest."
Vivian blinked and immediately realized: "Are you going to the place where the aircraft crashed?"
Hao Ren nodded slightly: "Important information may be found there—if the data module of the aircraft can be retrieved, we can probably take a big step forward."
"It's quite close to the eldest son's tentacles—although the tentacles were injured in the previous bombing, but the injuries are nothing serious to the eldest sons. I'm afraid the tentacles will be back to normal when you pass by," Weiwei An frowned slightly, "And it has just been attacked, and it is probably in a very sensitive state now, are you going to be a little reckless at this time? We can wait until the nerve response of that tentacle decreases, anyway. The wreckage is there and can't get away."
Hao Ren had his own ideas: "The longer the time, the more damage the clues will be. Before we find more survivor units, those aircraft wreckages are the only source of information we can count on. As for the tentacles of the eldest son... that thing is actually not Not as sharp as you think. I discussed this issue with Zhuo Mu. In fact, because the eldest son is too large after adulthood, and ordinary "small creatures" can hardly pose a threat to them, so the perception of an adult eldest son They are more inclined to respond to large targets and high-energy sources. For those too small 'attachments', no matter how powerful their nervous system is, they cannot fully pay attention. So a few people standing on the tentacles of the eldest son are like A speck of dust falls on a man, and normally he doesn't care: unless you shoot at the tentacles."
Lily added, wagging her tail beside her: "So as long as we are careful when we pass by, and don't use meteor bursts, chain lightning fusion bombs and the like, there will be no problem. The tentacles will treat us as if we came out of the forest. Small animals."
The husky girl seemed to have directly listed herself as a member of the expedition team for the next day, and the dog really couldn't survive without joining in the fun.
Hearing what Hao Ren and Lily said, Vivian thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded slightly to express her approval.
"Then this matter is settled," Hao Ren clapped his hands. "Now that Nolan can't move, we will gradually expand the scope of activities around her. Tomorrow I will still bring Lily, Vivian and five When the moon goes out, other people can move around the spaceship within a five-kilometer radius and continue to collect environmental data and clues. On March 8, you stay on the bridge and stare at the communication device and radar, and help take care of Doudou by the way."
The little mermaid immediately stood up from the water: "I want to go with my father!"
"Be obedient, it's dangerous outside, it's safe to stay on the spaceship," Hao Ren pressed the little fish's head, "Besides, there is a mountain over there, and there is no place for you to swim."
The little guy is quite obedient: "Oh."
The next day's exploration plan was decided in this way, and there was nothing else to do that night.
Having experienced a space attack and an emergency landing, and spent almost a day and a night exploring on a strange planet, even a person with an extraordinary physique will feel a little tired mentally, so Hao Ren slept extraordinarily this night. Anwen, when he woke up, the sun of the alien star had already flooded the earth.
Nolan doesn't need to rest. She is still working silently when everyone is falling asleep, trying to get as many shield generators back online as possible, rebuilding the crystallization amplification unit of the power furnace, and completing Hao Ren's confession. The task of transforming the armed self-discipline machinery that came down, and launching more probes.
At dawn the next day, she had already completed a rough scan of the entire continent with the probe: this was also the result of low work efficiency due to the severe damage to the main engine of the spaceship, insufficient data processing capability and insufficient probe control bandwidth.
There are more than one continent on this planet, and the one that Nolan completed scanning is only one of them, but on this continent alone, she found thousands of ruins and relics that can be called large-scale. A considerable part of those ancient ruins that have been swallowed by nature more than half appear to be severely damaged by the firstborn, and the firstborn tentacles can be seen everywhere around the ruins: including those that are still active and those that appear to be dormant. Nolan found that the state of the firstborn on this planet is very strange, it presents a... half-dead "inert state", which is a phenomenon that has never been observed on other planets.
In addition to these ancient ruins and traces of the eldest son, Nolan also found more clues related to the "survivors": a large number of "fresh" craters and forest fires that still have heat source reactions are basically distributed on the surface of the eldest son Around the tentacles, the data shows that they are basically the places that have been bombed recently. Except for the bombing that Hao Ren and his party encountered, the latest attack occurred a few hours ago.
It seems that the survivors of this planet are still very active, they will launch an active attack on the tentacles on the mainland every once in a while, and what is strange is the reaction of the eldest son to these attacks - from what Hao Ren observed, the tentacles are indeed He will use thunder to destroy those invading weapons of war, but his counterattack is nothing more than that. There is no rampage that overturns the entire earth after the thunder is enraged, there is no bloody disaster, and there is even no further pursuit.
In any case, Nolan couldn't figure out why the eldest son of this planet behaved in this way: he had clearly destroyed the civilization of this planet once.
As for the survivor's base... Nolan didn't find anything similar on this continent, and she didn't capture the live footage of the survivor's war weapons launching an attack that night. Maybe those troops came from other continents of the planet, or maybe just like Hao Ren guessed...they came from space
In any case, the information that the probes can collect is limited. If we want to understand the further situation, it depends on the actions of Hao Ren and the others today.
Vivienne cooked a simple but delicious meal with the materials found on board (thankfully the cabins of the living area were well protected in this accident, including the galley and food storage), after breakfast, the three dogs and men The human group and a sea monster embarked on a journey to find the wreckage of the aircraft.
This time, there was no need to collect data in the forest and explore the ruins along the way. With a clear goal, Hao Ren and his party traveled very fast, and soon passed through the dense forest and came to a place where vegetation was sparse at the edge of the forest.
"According to the navigation provided by Nolan, the area where the wreckage is scattered is here." Hao Ren walked in the front, observing the surrounding situation with wide eyes. "Everyone, be vigilant, we have entered the sensing range of the eldest son's tentacles."
"About one-third of these plants are the derivatives of the firstborn," the data terminal floated next to Hao Ren, checking the energy readings in the environment and the changes in the magnetic fields emitted by the surrounding plants at any time while flying, "They It is caused by the change of the 'capillary structure' at the end of the tentacles, this machine can sense the weak nerve signal transmission between those broad-leaved trees... These trees have 'seen' us, but the body of the eldest son did not respond to this."
Hao Ren nodded: "So my judgment is correct. As long as we don't die, this tentacle won't care about a few particles of dust floating around us."
Nangong Wuyue turned her head to look at Hao Ren, then at Lily who had been excited and her eyes were bright since she left the house, and couldn't help muttering: "I feel like being with you is like dying. When you're not doing anything..."
Hao Ren: "..."
At this moment, Lily sniffled suddenly and pointed in a certain direction: "Landlord, there is a burnt smell over there~~"
