Hao Ren led Lily and Vivienne back to the Giant Turtle Rock. As the spaceship gradually descended towards the Io equator, Y'zaks curiously asked what they had gained from the space wreck.
The Siren Queen immediately approached with concern.
"That's the Zalazane. It failed to escape and was destroyed in a high orbit." Hao Ren shook his head. "There are a large number of penetrating injuries in the intersection area of the starship's flanks and the lower half of the pipeline, spreading over several kilometers. They were all shot out by artillery. We found a bullet in the ship that didn't explode—that damn thing almost ruined my hairdo."
"Cannon?!" Y'zaks didn't expect this to be the result. "It wasn't the eldest son and the brain monster that destroyed the Kraken civilization back then, but a... mortal race that could use cannons?"
"The eldest son and the brain monster are also mortal races. Although they are powerful, they are still inseparable from 'mortals'." Hao Ren first corrected Yizaks' statement with his identity as "the chief pope certified by the true god, traffic policeman and film policeman". , "Of course I understand what you mean... The ability to use artillery means that this race is definitely not the firstborn, and it doesn't look like a brain monster. Those big heads don't even wear clothes, so they really don't look like species that can use tools."
"Regardless of whether it was the people who fired the cannon that destroyed Io or not, at least the Zalazane was shot down by the cannon," Vivian curled her lips, "Haha... this is really not good news, the situation is getting more and more complicated Now, the eldest son and the brain monster are already entangled, and now there is another high-tech race of unknown origin, and I don’t know if they are with the eldest son.”
Hao Ren shrugged: "At least there are more and more information. Another way of thinking, the more confused we are, the more we are approaching the truth. The dream plane is so big. If all the clues are clear, I will doubt whether I have walked into it." Misunderstanding."
Lily turned her head to look at Hao Ren and then at Vivian, scratching her tail and rubbing against Hao Ren's body distressedly: "I don't care about anything else, landlord, you really stepped on my tail just now..."
Hao Ren: "..."
The Giant Turtle Rock plunged headlong into the atmosphere, dragging a long bright cloud of fire towards the boundless sea. It didn't linger for a few seconds in the clear upper atmosphere before breaking into a torrential cloud. The footage from the external monitor showed a thrilling scene of thunderstorms and heavy rain. The heavy rain poured down as if the sea and the sky were hanging upside down, and the field of vision was full of gray rain. And the thick lightning twisted and exploded in the rain curtain and the cloud layer, and every time it would explode a crack in the thick cloud layer, giving people the feeling that the sky is connected to another water world, but now it has broken countless cracks , to drop an entire ocean into Io.
"Oh...the weather in your hometown is not as gentle as your character," Nangong Sanba looked at the torrential rain outside the spaceship in amazement, and couldn't help muttering to Soma beside him. "It's raining like it won't stop."
"It really can't stop." Hao Ren looked back at Nangong Sanba, "Io is shrouded in almost eternal precipitation, sometimes it is rainstorm, sometimes it is snowstorm, depending on the angle of the sun. And near the equator , there is no winter here, so it has been a torrential rain. This rain has been falling continuously for many billions of years since the planet cooled, and it will continue. The entire planet has only cleared less than ten times in recorded history. And only partially Area cleared."
Nangong Sanba opened his mouth, gesturing strangely in mid-air with his hands: "Uh...then how does this water circulate?"
"Storm," Hao Ren pointed to another set of holographic projections. "Super-scale tornadoes, kilometer-high waves. These things, like rainfall, have not stopped for many years."
On the holographic projection, a huge water column reaches the clouds. This is the sea water swept up to the sky by the tornado, which is a hundred times more spectacular than the largest "dragon absorbing water" phenomenon on the earth. Like being sucked into the clouds by an invisible water pipe, tens of thousands of tons of seawater are continuously sent into the clouds in this way, maintaining Io's eternal torrential downpour.
Such a soul-stirring storm star, even if it has a little bit of land, it will never evolve any life. Only the deep sea can play the role of the cradle of life: it is the only peaceful place on the entire planet.
"Did you find any enemies while scanning the planet?" Hao Ren looked at the console.
"This machine assures you with its six corners. No," said the data terminal. One side pops out of the socket with a click, "Transfer to autonomous driving... Of course, the scanning accuracy is limited, so if there are a few scattered brain monsters hiding here, it may not be found, but the army of brain monsters you were worried about before should be None. There are no enemy troops, and no Firstborn, so we don't need to plow the planet with main guns—although that does sound interesting."
The spacecraft slowly approached the sea surface, and this turbulent water planet fully presented its violent side to the visitors. The huge waves and torrential rain almost turned the whole world into gray. In the rainstorm, Hao Ren suddenly saw something strange in front of him: "Come closer, there seems to be something over there."
The data terminal zoomed in on the monitor screen: "It's a platform, made of metal."
A silver-gray metal platform stands in the sea, and several thick alloy skeletons hold it firmly at a height of 100 meters above the sea level, so that small-scale waves can hardly disturb the upper part of the platform (in Io, The waves below 100 meters are really small waves). The scale of this facility is very large, and it can accommodate ten Giant Turtle Rock Platforms to take off and land on it, and there are many closed buildings on the platform from top to bottom. The buildings are connected by pipelines, and its age may be It has been quite a long time—Nasaton has been lying on the earth for more than 10,000 years and is still as clean as new, but the platform in front of me looks mottled, as if it has been abandoned for a long time.
"This is a..." Hao Ren quickly looked up the information copied from Nasathorn, but unfortunately what he copied was not a civilization seed bank after all, and there was not a single word mentioned in the database about the platform in front of him, " Can't find it, I think it's an aircraft landing pad or something."
"No, it's a sea observation station, which is used to observe the 'air world'," Vivienne pointed to the large characters on a pillar of the platform, "Don't just look down at the database, it's written on it."
Hao Ren: "..."
"It's not easy for Kraken to build a platform that can observe the atmosphere. This thing has to pass through ten kilometers of seawater to reach the surface of the planet. It is rooted on the seabed," the voice of the data terminal said with admiration, "and this is still the seabed Relatively shallow, Io's seas are much deeper than on Earth."
The spaceship circled around this large platform. On one side of it, everyone saw a huge metal plate like a monument. The writing on it was still legible, recording things related to this platform. :
"Ivana Observatory, rebuilt in 13086, to commemorate Ivana the Astro-inspired, and commemorate the place where the siren saw the stars for the first time. Thanks to the pioneers for their persistence on the observatory for seven hundred years, ushering in our history The first clear sky above."
"This is the place where the Kraken saw the stars for the first time," Hao Ren suddenly realized, he looked at the thick clouds above Io, "They have to wait on the observation platform for hundreds or even thousands of years to see them once Star."
Lily crossed her arms: "I think it must have been an accident for them to see the stars for the first time, and I'm afraid it was accompanied by panic. That Ivana should be drawing the clouds, but the dark clouds suddenly dispersed and the stars appeared, and the sea-monsters just appeared. Surprised to realize that there is something else behind that endless cloud cover - they probably never thought about what was beyond their 'world' until then."
The Siren Queen stared at the platform standing in the storm, and suddenly sighed softly: "This should be our important history...but I can't even understand the words on it."
Hao Ren smiled: "It's okay, we will help you re-understand those words when the time comes."
Nangong Wuyue looked at the brackets under the platform that had been standing for many years: "So the high-energy area we are looking for is below here?"
"Directly below," the data terminal replied, and then the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace began to sink into the water, "This machine is going to get the weapon system online—although there is no army here, it is hard to say whether the Kraken left any defensive firepower or the like Things."
