The height of the probe continues to rise, and it has now passed the cloud top of Purgatory Planet, and passed through an extremely thin layer of atmosphere, and now basically entered the vacuum area. The whole picture of the purgatory planet can almost be completely presented in the picture sent back, and its shape is amazing.
It was a nearly completely smooth, snowball-like sphere, without any lines or folds on its surface, and the entire planet appeared as a whole due to the covering of the cloud tops. Due to the luminescence of the clouds themselves, the planet was in the dark. Glittering in the space, like a pearl.
Just looking at this scene, who can imagine what kind of ugly world lies under the thick clouds
The probe left a panoramic image of Purgatory Planet, and then continued to fly towards outer space, and began to search for signs of stars, but after crossing a certain layer of space, the signal from it was suddenly interrupted.
"We lost the probe." The terminal turned off the tracking screen that had become clutter. "I'm afraid it touched the boundary of the space. If the device is still alive, it should return from the void later."
"Sure enough, there are no stars," Hao Ren muttered to himself, "This planet is the only celestial body in the space debris."
Hessiana couldn't understand why a good witch hunting operation suddenly developed so confusingly. She scratched her hair and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously: "What are you researching... What if there are no stars?"
"On the earth, all the energy of the ecosphere comes from the sun—including the temperature of the planet, the root of everything is the sun." Hao Ren pointed to the bottom of the shimmering cloud top directly above, "If there is no star, the planet will be cold and dead , so desolate that you can't imagine. Although this world is also very desolate, it obviously has an ecological circle and a very high temperature, and this temperature cannot be maintained by relying on those small hot springs. I have reliable information to be sure This planet has been operating in this sunless space for 10,000 years, so how does the environment on the planet survive?"
"I don't pay attention to the sun," Heatherana pouted, "I don't like that stuff."
"That's why I'm not happy to discuss such high-level topics with you." Hao Ren sighed, "You are much more petty than Vivienne. Whether you like it or not. Sunlight is the energy source of a planet, so this purgatory planet is Generating energy in other ways...or consuming property.”
"Isn't the light and heat provided by the clouds?" Lily looked up at the sky, "And the structure of the clouds seems to be able to keep warm."
"It's not enough," said the data terminal. "The light and heat produced by the cloud and its thick structure can only slow down the loss of energy. It is not a product of energy itself, it is just converting energy. This computer has calculated the entire cloud top." efficiency. It is simply not enough to maintain the activity or temperature of Purgatory today. So there must be something else on this planet-maintaining the ecological cycle without the power of sunlight, the most important thing is to maintain heat."
Lily opened her mouth, and as the person with the highest education on the scene, she grasped the point: "So where does this energy come from?"
Many conjectures popped up in Hao Ren's mind, but he carefully put them all aside: "I don't know, maybe we won't be able to make a conclusion until we have explored the entire planet. Anyway, this place is quite curious... a place in reality The planet that has been orbiting for 10,000 years in the cracks of the wall has no sunlight, and there is an ecosystem on it, tsk tsk. The universe is so vast."
At this time, Vivienne suddenly interrupted Hao Ren's emotion: "This planetary expert here, temporarily divert your attention from scientific research, my little bat found an entrance: it may lead to the second floor of Purgatory. "
Hao Ren immediately put away the data terminal: "Where is it?"
Vivienne raised her finger and pointed in a certain direction: "Over there. It's two thousand kilometers away—you let the data terminal fly there first to locate a position, and then we can teleport and hurry. It should be faster. I have already let the bat swarm form a huge navigation there. icon, it’s easy to see.”
Hao Ren nodded. Grabbing the data terminal and aiming at the direction of Vivian's finger, he swung his arm in a circle, and the terminal screamed in time: "Later, pay attention to the operation finger..." "Go!"
The terminal turned into a blue light and disappeared from everyone's sight. Heatherana stared at this scene dumbfounded. It took a long time to look at Hao Ren like a monster: "If I want such an advanced tablet computer, I will definitely not be willing to use it like you!"
Hao Ren curled his lips: "You won't be willing until your tablet computer learns to quarrel with you."
Heather Anna: "?"
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the so-called second floor of purgatory through the data terminal, and a huge crater appeared in front of them.
They climbed up the steep mountain wall, staring at the scene in front of them, speechless.
This is a nearly perfect circular crater. Its regularity is unbelievable. It is the result of natural geological formation. The radius of the entire ring structure reaches tens of kilometers. Inside the crater, the slope is gentle down. The ground is covered with neat, radial and weird patterns, as if someone has carefully carved the landscape. At the end of his line of sight, Hao Ren saw the so-called Purgatory Entrance: it is the center of the entire crater, a terrifying circular hole, and airflows are constantly released from the hole, engulfing sand and dust and rolling up a large amount of dust visible to the naked eye. Small whirlwind.
A group of people came to the entrance of the cave. Its scale is frightening. The dark vertical hole seems to lead to hell all the way. Just standing on the edge and looking inside makes people feel weak.
Lily was the first to go weak. She grabbed Hao Ren's trouser legs and squatted down: "Really... really want to jump?"
"Who told you to jump?" Hao Ren squinted at her, "Let's fly down."
Lily was shocked when she heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half made her almost cry: "Then we still have to go down?"
The data terminal reported the situation one by one: "It has been detected that there is a huge-scale feeder below, which is a super grand underground space. This machine is recommended to take safety precautions before going down."
Heatherana looked at the bottomless cave with a serious expression. Even if she belonged to the winged clan, she felt that it would be no good to go down rashly.
"It's a pity to let Nolan take a vacation at Kuiper Station, otherwise he would be able to fly the spaceship." Hao Ren shook his head regretfully, and then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes, I still have other means of transportation!"
Under everyone's curious gaze, Hao Ren released his Big Dipper.
Heather Anna's complexion changed immediately: "I haven't been to school much-but you can't fool people like this! The safety precautions you are talking about are driving the Big Dipper and slamming the accelerator into the sinkhole?!"
"Believe it or not, this thing can fly no slower than you, and it's definitely more stable than you. Besides, don't look at it as small. The internal space of this thing is famous, no matter how many people we can squeeze in," Hao Ren shrugged, took out the data terminal and pressed it on the Big Dipper, followed by two unlocking beeps from the car, "Of course, if you trust your own wings, you can fly by yourself, I don't worry."
Vivienne patted Hesianna on the shoulder: "Trust him, you see he is like a robot cat, no matter how weird the things he pulls out of him are, which ones are not easy to use?"
As she said that, she got into the car first, followed by the Nangong brothers and sisters and Lily, leaving Heather Anna and her two attendants tangled outside the car. Although the things taken out of the space are weird, at least they look high-tech, and the painting style alone makes people feel trustworthy, but the painting style of the Big Dipper in front of me...
Let me tell you this, it’s like when you go to the street and suddenly meet an old man with a white beard floating from the sky, give you a sword wrapped in purple air and say, "You are very talented and can take on great responsibilities, and I will give you precious soldiers to accompany you!" Old man, let’s go up to the fairy world”, then your first reaction must be to accept your head and bow, but the uncle who is about to fall from the sky is an uncle with his face on the ground, and he takes out a little magic fairy transformation stick and asks you to save the world. It is kindhearted to call the police or not.
Duncan looked at Heather Anna with a dead face: "Mistress, do we really want to sit on this pit? Even if it can fly... I don't think it's old and reliable."
Hesiana's face was sullen, and she was about to say a few words before getting into the car, but her ears trembled suddenly: she heard something approaching rapidly.
At this time, Cassandra and Duncan also heard it, and they raised their heads to look in the direction of the sound. They saw groups of black shadows suddenly appearing on the edge of the crater: they were countless twisted mutant creatures!
The aborigine of Purgatory, Vivienne called it "an unreasonable twisted monster". Hao Ren thought that he would be lucky enough not to meet the monster today, but he didn't expect these guys to appear at this time.
