The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace slowed down and slowly patrolled over the ruins of the moon, scanning every detail of the city, while approaching the crystal-clear amber red "earth". According to the data from the remote sensing equipment, those red substances are indeed similar to the composition of the Beinz Blood Lake.
The entire red area is extremely wide, with an area roughly estimated to be more than six million square kilometers, showing an irregular oval shape. Compared with this area, the original Beinz Blood Lake is simply inconspicuous. A large number of corroded and melted ruins can be seen on the edge of the red area. The twisted state of those wreckages is more severe than that of other places, obviously the result of long-term contact with those red substances. And on the boundary line between the red substance and the surrounding ruins, the tentacles are undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
The spaceship landed on a slightly flat place on the edge of the red area. Hao Ren asked everyone to wear life support collars, and then led several autonomous machines out of the spaceship.
Nangong Sanbate jumped on the spot freshly: "It turns out that this is what it feels like to go to the moon... It's really light."
"The gravity of this place is actually greater than that of the moon in our hometown," Hao Ren said casually, then looked up at Lily, "I'll use your happiness."
Lily jumped over lightly, and muttered as she conjured up the claw blade: "Actually, I want to rename it the Sword of Damocles..."
Vivian and Hao Ren stared at her together: "No change!"
Lily groaned twice, then ran to the side with her tail in her arms, feeling sad.
Hao Ren carefully crossed the boundary line between the two regions with a warm fire in his hand, stepped on the frozen red lake, scratched the ice with his claw blades, and collected some ice chips and melted water. liquid. The nature of this thing is almost the same as water, and I don't know why "Original Blood" degenerates into this form after completing the task of destroying the world and creating life.
Then he returned the claw blade to Lily, went to the tentacles by the lake, and found that these tentacles were shriveled and withered, as expected, they had been dead for a long time. Moreover, these tentacles are different from the ones he saw on the surface: they are thinner, the lines of the skin are more neat, and the texture has a strong sense of metal. It seems like they are another part of the body of the firstborn... and possibly another functional double.
The data terminal flew around to observe the surrounding situation. While guessing the scene after the death of the moon: "The ancient people's lunar ecosystem may be completely maintained by manpower, so after the city dies, the atmosphere and constant temperature environment here are all over. The blood tide is shrinking to this area. At that time, it became a large piece of ice. Those tentacles should be the last batch to grow out of the blood tide. After that, the environment on the lunar surface was completely unsuitable for life, so no new tentacles grew—the result was that they were all concentrated in the On the edge of the blood tide."
"Look at the bottom of the lake." Hao Ren lowered his head and pointed to the red ice surface. With the extraordinary eyesight of everyone, he could vaguely see the shadows of some wreckage under the thick ice layer, which were completely disintegrated by the blood tide. human relics and building foundations. Originally they were soaked in this red liquid and should be completely digested, but the abnormally rapid loss of temperature caused by the shutdown of the lunar surface thermostat stopped the blood tide early and turned into red water. The half-decomposed wreckage was also frozen.
These phenomena cannot be seen on other ecological planets. It is the special artificial environment of the lunar city that preserves these valuable investigation materials.
When the data terminal saw this situation, it immediately began to bump into the ice happily: "Hey! This is a fun thing! Things that have been decomposed in half by the blood tide, let's see what the decomposition process looks like!"
Hao Ren squinted at the nervous data terminal, which was already spinning like a drill bit on the ice and punching holes vigorously: "Do you know that you are a PDA? There are three autonomous machines next to me!"
The data terminal reacted after hearing this, and quickly floated back into the air and ordered in a tone: "Then let the self-discipline machine start drilling."
Hao Ren glanced at the data terminal while the self-discipline machine was making a hole in the ice: "Download less Korean dramas in the future, your CPU is about to blow up, you know that?"
The data terminal is still hot: "You think this machine is happy! Your dog likes to watch Korean dramas, bats like to watch cooking courses, sea monsters like to watch the animal world, and your fish girl likes to watch Pleasant Goat! There are seven or eight No one watches the TV. Let this machine play The Big Bang Theory on the tea table every night at 7:30, saying that they like 3D! After the show is over, you start playing DOTA, playing DOTA! The thinking of this machine X-880 series Core. Full personality artificial intelligence, three-meter-wide high-definition holographic projection. The minimum network speed of 1PB, you use it to play DOAT, and you can only do it with a simple computer! The memory of this machine is full of funny comparisons of your family, you And complaining that this machine has water in its head—and speaking of water, who soaks this machine in the basin of a brat's fish every night?"
Hao Ren was taken aback for a while, but couldn't get a word in: "..."
The people around turned their faces away and pretended that they didn't know anything, and then went on busy with their business—there was nothing serious to do, such as Lily, who went digging rocks everywhere.
Vivienne looked at those self-disciplined machines cutting samples and drilling on the ice. They were very busy. Feeling that he should also play his usual investigative role, he casually summoned a large group of bats: "I'll check the nearby tentacles..."
As a result, she didn't finish speaking. Those little bats fell all over the ground with a crackling sound, giving the impression that a rain of bats suddenly fell around Vivienne, and in the blink of an eye, a group of little guys were thumping vigorously on the ground. Vivienne was still in a daze, but Hao Ren covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This is the second time for you—this place is vacuum, your bat can't fly, okay?"
Hao Ren felt that it was not easy for his team to make it this far.
He was feeling emotional here, when Nangong Sanba's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Hey, can you hear it—then what, I found something here, I wonder if you are interested?"
Hao Ren didn't expect that the half-baked witcher would be the first to discover something, so he quickly led the others and ran over. I saw Nangong Sanba standing on a big rock, pointing to the edge of the red ice layer: "There is a seed-like thing frozen under there—a super-sized seed."
Hao Ren took a look and found that there was indeed an ellipsoid-shaped object obliquely inserted in the thinner part of the ice layer, about three meters long, shaped like an olive, and a tentacle like a bud grew out of the tip. He hurriedly commanded an autonomous machine to knock the "seed" out of the ice, and then a circle of people curiously gathered around to study it.
This huge "seed" looks like a small spaceship, and its structure is very complicated. In addition to the tentacles on the upper end, it can also be seen that there are circles of raised lines on the lower part of it, and a few weird flesh bumps can be seen between the lines. There are several cracks on the waistline of "Seed", and some sharp organs protrude from it, as if it is some kind of induction device. This was undoubtedly produced by the Firstborn, and for unknown reasons—possibly due to the end of the lunar biosphere—the "seed" died of its own accord without being activated.
The data terminal flew around the seed, and quickly figured out the structure and basic functions of this thing: it is much simpler and easier to understand than the primordial ancestor of life or the eldest son body.
"These raised sarcomas are some kind of antennae, using gravitational wave communication, which should be used to communicate with the primogeniture on the surface. These concentric circle structures are some kind of high-efficiency engine, biological tissue, but can generate powerful driving force , judging from the remaining structure, it can form a circulating magnetic field outside the seed, collect the particles in the solar wind and accelerate them and throw them back to fly quickly, just like paddling in water, which is enough for use in the solar system. The middle ones are the same as thorns The thing is some kind of sensor, maybe it is used to capture the life response," the data terminal paused here, "and it is not ruled out that this thing has other higher-end capabilities—its core has a huge mass Although the organ has dried up and deformed, the high-energy acceleration ring of that organ is still clearly identifiable, it is either a fusion reactor or a super bomb."
Hao Ren was a little dazed, and touched the shriveled shell of the "seed" in disbelief: "...is this thing that destroyed the lunar biosphere?"
"At least it's one of the weapons," the data terminal bobbed up and down, "There is no body of the Firstborn on the main moon, so the Firstborn on the surface must be attacking the Secondborn on other planets by launching some kind of interstellar firepower on other planets. This seed is its battleship—as long as it can create a blood tide, it is enough to destroy the ecosystem on any planet."
(I actually misread the watch!) (To be continued~^~)
