Chapter 1228: Prehistoric Mars
"Alright, little one, it's up to you. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Watching the guy in the spacesuit let go of himself, Jiang Chen controlled the spherical drone to pop out the rotors from the side and flew in the direction of the wellhead.
Back on the rover, Wang Qiang took off his spacesuit in the buffer compartment and sat back in the driver's seat. Jaime, who was sitting next to him, was sipping his coffee as he watched the drone fly out the window in the direction of the well.
"Smart?"
Leaning back on the seat, Wang Qiang took a sip of coffee with his hand and grinned.
"Otherwise, could it be remotely controlled by the ground command center?"
Even for faster-than-light communication based on quantum effects, there are tens of millions of delays in the communication channel between Mars and Earth. If you use online games to describe this feeling, it is probably that you click the mouse, and it takes half a minute for the character to react.
Communication is fine, but remote-controlled drones or something, that's too.
However, what Wang Qiang, who was sitting on the rover, did not know was that the drone he just released was not based on electromagnetic waves for communication at all, but on a Craint particle communication chip inlaid with subcrystalline fragments......
After about half an hour, the drone controlled by Jiang Chen finally landed at the bottom of the drilling well, as well as a cracked metal shell.
"Anyway, let's take a picture first......"
The camera was pointed at the metal fracture, and although the drone that came down earlier had already taken pictures, neither the resolution nor the light could compare to the reconnaissance drone designed based on the latest technology.
While pressing the shutter, Jiang Chen controlled the drone to fly towards the hollow layer of the spiral structure.
The space below five kilometers was unexpectedly empty, at least much more empty than the holographic concept map seen on the conference table. The spiral pipe is like a tree trunk, and every short distance, it extends out into a disc-shaped space in all directions, like branches and leaves on the trunk of a tree.
All the "rooms" were empty, and nothing could be seen except a mountain of dust.
After Jiang Chen took a few photos of the room, he continued to move forward.
The spiral passage is long, going down to a depth of ten kilometers underground. Here, the composition of the air has also quietly changed slightly, although it is still mainly carbon dioxide, but the oxygen content is much higher than that of the outside world.
"Do Martians also breathe oxygen? Anyway, it's a discovery. Looking at the data on the drone's dial, Jiang Chen thought in his heart.
When he reached the last floor of the spiral passage, Jiang Chen passed through an open circular door and slowly floated into a spherical space.
However, the moment he entered this spherical space, a trace of uneasiness rose faintly in his heart.
The uneasiness was like being watched in the shadows by creatures like deathclaws and mirelurks, with the only difference being that his intuition told him that there was no hostility in his gaze, but mere observation.
He had a sudden premonition that he was about to be caught in some trouble.
“…… It's always a bit weird here, so let's change to Amos. ”
Looking around at the lines on the walls of this spherical space, the unhappiness in Jiang Chen's heart became stronger and stronger.
Just as he was about to cut off the connection to the drone and change to Dr. Amos piloting it, a white light suddenly lit up directly below him, engulfing the entire space along with the floating drone......
……
I don't know how long it took.
Opening his eyes suddenly, Jiang Chen sat up from the ground.
"Where is this?"
Reaching out and pressing it on his sore forehead, Jiang Chen slowly got up from the ground, stood up straight, and began to look around.
A cool breeze blows in the air, and the air is a little fresh and dry. It's not a remnant of the Martian subsurface anymore, it's not Dr. Amos's laboratory, it's a wilderness—a place that looks like the African savannah.
And he, too, is no longer a drone.
As far as the eye can see, the whole earth is a golden ear of wheat, swaying in the gentle breeze. In the distance is a steep laterite rock wall, and the mountains here are as if they have been cut by a knife, square and square, without any magnificent shape.
Jiang Chen squatted down and carefully observed the ears of wheat under his feet.
Although it bears a slight resemblance to the dog's tail grass, neither the color nor the shape of the plant can match the species he remembers.
As he studied his surroundings, a ball of light appeared out of nowhere, circled around it twice, and then stopped next to him.
"Mammals? ”
"Accident?" Jiang Chen looked at the ball of light, and cautiously took two steps back to the side, staring at it with a fixed gaze.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to ask it, "Who are you?" a faint sigh drifted to his ears.
"Yes. On Mars, mammals exist as if they were endangered. I believe that if one day, you see the tigers and lions in your zoo learning from your appearance and inventing their own writing, I am afraid that your surprise will not be less than mine...... If you were to describe the shock in your words, it would probably be the feeling. ”
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and frowned.
"You read my memory?"
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, if I don't, I won't be able to communicate with you. The ball of light politely apologized in a calm tone.
"Okay...... Can you tell me who you are?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I'm a memory. The ball of light replied truthfully.
"Is memory similar to AI?hologram?" Jiang Chen frowned.
The ball of light was silent for a moment, and then gave a very ambiguous reply.
"Yes and no. Similar, but with a difference. ”
The words of the ball of light made Jiang Chen confused, and just as he was trying to understand this concept, Jiang Chen suddenly recalled where he seemed to have seen something similar.
That's Lin Ling...... No, to be precise, Tingting, when he temporarily connected his spirit with the harmonious and civilized "empress". It was as if he had crossed the dimensional barrier with the Brahma, and was banished to a strange universe, a strange planet, and witnessed their culture, technology, society, and so on, going in the direction of the right path.
The feeling is very similar.
It's like an out-of-body soul that has crossed the distance of time and space and drifted to another corner of the universe.
He didn't know what words to use to describe this wonderful feeling, and he didn't know how to express the shock in his heart at the moment.
But he had already vaguely guessed what was happening to him.
If nothing else.
The earth beneath his feet.
It should be Mars more than 3 billion years ago......
