Chapter 61: The Mysterious Cave

"Brothers, today is the 170th Martian Day, and this morning, there was something wrong with the unmanned rover II, and we lost contact with it. ”

Chen Mulin glanced at the location where the signal of the No. 2 unmanned rover finally disappeared, and then uploaded it to the live broadcast room.

"This is where the signal of the unmanned rover 2 disappeared, more than 1,200 kilometers from the base, on the edge of a mountain range at the equator of Mars. ”

Then, Chen Mulin uploaded the last picture from the No. 2 unmanned rover to the live broadcast room for people to watch.

"Based on this footage, I suspect that the unmanned rover 2 may have been attacked by an unknown creature. ”

"I'm going to rush to this location today to find out why. ”

[Barrage: This time the Martians should appear!]

[Barrage: According to the amplitude and frequency of the shaking of the screen, the person who attacked the unmanned rover must be a big man, and judging from the size of the tent, it should not be done by Martians.] 】

[Barrage: Could it be that there is a real alien?]

[Barrage: Is the anchor going to deliver food?

[Barrage: I want to see the Martians!]

……

It can be seen from the barrage that the sailors are extremely excited and full of curiosity about the unknown real thing.

Of course, Chen Mulin is the same, he can't wait to meet the legendary Martian creatures.

Although there may be dangers, Chen Mulin is very confident in his current self, even if he really encounters a monster, as long as the gap between the two is not too big, he will compete with one of them.

All in all, this trip is sure to be exciting.

After checking again, and after confirming that there was no problem, Chen Mulin started the rover, drove out of the garage, and drove towards the destination.

The trip totaled more than 1,200 kilometers, and according to the plan, Chen Mulin would arrive at his destination the next day.

The time is now 11 o'clock close to 12 o'clock at noon, and the expected speed is 50 kilometers away, and the whole process is expected to be autonomous, and it is expected to arrive 24 hours later, that is, around 12 noon the next day.

If this had been done before, it would have taken at least more than ten days.

In the more than ten days it spent, most of the time was spent in charging, and it was necessary to stay in place overnight, and driving for three hours a day was already the top day.

This shows how important energy is to the development of science and technology.

After having the energy crystal, he didn't have to stop to recharge at all, nor did he have to stop for the night, the energy contained in the light crystal was enough to support all his needs.

……

The next day, Chen Mulin arrived at the edge of the mountain range where his destination was located as scheduled.

He glanced at the location shown by the signal and decisively decided to get out of the car and walk.

Chen Mulin put on the newly built spacesuit, no, it should be called armor now, removed the energy crystal from the rover, installed it in the platform on his chest, and then picked up the shovel and got out of the car and walked towards the final place.

"Brothers, we have reached the edge of the mountain range where we are, and we are still a few hundred meters away from the last position before the signal disappears, and we can only get out of the car and walk due to the terrain!"

Because he was already very close to the target, Chen Mulin was extremely careful, holding the shovel tightly, and always paying attention to everything around him.

If it is really the unmanned rover 2 that was attacked by Martian creatures, then there is a clear good chance that they will be encountered here.

Even if he has confidence in the new equipment, in the face of unknown things, he does not dare to pack a ticket, whether the new equipment can protect himself.

Besides, if you are behind those things, no matter how powerful the equipment is, it will be useless.

There are messy rocks along the way, and there is only about one meter to one meter and a half between the rocks, and Chen Mulin walks in the path between these rocks.

Chen Mulin has seen the footage of the No. 2 unmanned probe some time ago, and he also passed by this stone forest.

This stone forest is about 200 meters wide, and you can only go up the mountain if you cross it, and the location where the signal of the No. 2 unmanned exploration vehicle disappeared is more than 100 meters away from the stone forest.

Undoubtedly, the Stone Forest is the most dangerous section of the road here, the line of sight here is not far away, the field of vision is not wide enough, and it is not sure what will be encountered at the next corner.

The heart was beating rapidly, and Chen Mulin's intention was also rapid.

Just kept moving forward cautiously, and in just a few hundred meters of curved distance, it took Chen Mulin more than ten minutes to get to the end.

"Finally out of the stone forest!"

Chen Mulin breathed a sigh of relief, and his nerves relaxed a lot.

Fortunately, he didn't encounter any danger, and it seems that he was still very lucky.

Environments like this, whether in movies or in the animal world, are the favorite hiding places for predators.

Slowing down his heartbeat a little, Chen Mulin continued to move forward.

The mountains here are still very gentle, and there are no stone forests, so it is very easy to walk.

Now that he was getting closer and closer to the location where the signal disappeared, Chen Mulin's heart also lifted.

It stands to reason that the danger here is no less than the stone forest just now, after all, this is the location of the lost No. 2 unmanned rover, and I am not sure if that thing has left.

Now Chen Mulin's heart is very complicated, there is a faint trace of excitement, but there is also a trace of fear.

It's the fear of the unknown, but also the curiosity about the unknown.

Getting closer and closer, Chen Mulin's heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

"Brothers, we are almost there, about fifty meters in front of us is the place where the signal of the No. 2 unmanned rover disappears!"

As usual, most of the content of the barrage is urging, and some are betting, guessing the specific reason, or whether the Martian will be found.

It's a waste of time to drag it out like this, anyway, it's all going to pass, it's so gentle here, and there aren't many obstacles, as long as there is danger, you can react as soon as possible.

Chen Mulin swallowed his saliva, tightened the shovel in his hand, and gradually quickened his pace.

Far away, still twenty meters away, Chen Mulin frowned.

He found scattered wreckage, belonging to the unmanned rover No. 2.

"This ...... It's really been attacked!"

Scattered and scattered, there are wreckage everywhere, and I don't know how many pieces have been split, and none of the parts are complete anyway.

Chen Mulin squatted down to pick up a piece of wreckage and took a closer look, and found that there were obvious bite marks and scratches on the fragments.

Based on the size of the traces, the creature that attacked the unmanned rover 2 may have been several times larger than an adult male lion.

Chen Mulin sighed: "I'm dripping turtles, how fierce this thing is!"

Imagine that unmanned rovers can be torn apart like this, and if they are replaced with living creatures, they will directly become slag.

Obviously, the No. 2 unmanned rover can't be repaired, broken like this, and he didn't even bother to recycle it, Chen Mulin just symbolically put away a few pieces of fragments and kept them for Xuannu to analyze.

Just as he got up to look around, he suddenly noticed a strange place.

There are obvious signs of activity there, and it seems that there are often living creatures moving around.

Chen Mulin boldly walked over and found that it was a cave about three meters wide.

Mine caves?

It doesn't look like it, and there are no obvious traces of manual excavation.

Judging from the second unmanned rover and traces on the ground, this mysterious cave must be related to Martian creatures.
