Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Core Spire

The people on the cliff were relieved to see that Zhang Yuntian was safe and sound, and the first step of the plan was finally completed without danger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one knows how deep Zhang Yuntian sank into the ground, and no one knows how many times Zhang Yuntian has withstood gravity, but he can easily be useful in the gravel, and he can walk freely on the gravel, and every step he takes, he jumps forward a distance of more than ten meters as if he is jumping.

Zhang Yuntian is also trying his best to suppress his strength, after all, the desert is not as flat as the ground, the gravel here is soft, as long as the strength is not used well, the whole leg will be trapped in it, if you use all your strength to jump, the action is fast, but every step will set off a small tornado, and the physical consumption is extremely huge.

After walking on the sand for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yuntian gradually adjusted the strength of his muscles, and was finally able to move freely in a low-gravity environment, he shouted at the bottom of the cliff: "I'm going to carry out the next step of the plan, looking for the ancient artifact sealed in the pyramid, do you have any clues?" ”

The people above all shook their heads, after all, the matter of this ancient artifact was just a legend, and no one had seen it in person.

It is also very likely that this legend is a random speculation, but some people are attracted by the strange gravitational field here, as well as the huge and dense pyramids, and the excuses made up are unknown, after all, human exploration of the universe has only a hundred years of history, and this planet must be billions of years old, it is speculated that the age of the pyramids is not even much smaller than that of the ghost star, and it is very likely that the pyramid group was built when this planet was formed.

There are also speculations that it is because of these pyramid groups that the ghost star has such a chaotic gravitational field, in short, the archaeological age here can be traced back much far further than the birth of humans, and no one knows what the truth here is, and because of this, more and more interstellar archaeological explorers are interested in this place and want to find out the secret of the seal here.

The people on the cliff were at a loss, which was also expected by Zhang Yuntian, and he shouted again: "Wait for me in place, I will get the spaceship!" ”

The three of them nodded in unison, Zhang Yuntian was their only hope to escape from the ghost star, at this time they didn't even have the right to doubt, they could only choose to believe.

Zhang Yuntian nodded with a smile, turned around and rushed towards the pyramid group.

It took him about half an hour to run before he came to the pyramid in the outer circle.

When he was looking at the cliff before, he had firmly memorized the arrangement of the pyramids, the more the pyramid in the outer circle, the larger the size, and when he reached the center of the pyramid group, the pyramid there was so small that it could be described as a miniature version.

Zhang Yuntian took advantage of the inertia of running, and rushed to the top of the tower along the slope of the pyramid in the outer circle, and the position here was even dozens of meters higher than the cliff he stood on before.

At this time, when Zhang Yuntian climbed to the top of the pyramid and looked inward again, he had another feeling, because these pyramids did not seem to be getting smaller and smaller as he imagined, but the more they went to the center, the more they sank into the gravel.

Because the stripes on the surface of all the surrounding pyramids are almost identical, the closer you get to the top, the denser the lines become, and the inner pyramid becomes denser and denser as the volume becomes smaller, which indicates that they are not smaller in size, but are covered by yellow sand.

In the innermost pyramid, there is almost only a golden spire exposed, and it is surrounded by yellow sand.

But the yellow sand here seems to be different from the gravel seen before, because it has been flowing around the spire, and the quicksand is covered with a faint yellow haze.

A medium-sized research vessel hovering three or four hundred meters directly above the spire is delivering a square robot in the direction of the spire by means of a towing beam.

Although Zhang Yuntian knew very little about this group of pyramids, the archaeological team in front of him was obviously prepared, they not only knew what they were looking for, but also knew where to start with the easiest, so Zhang Yuntian quietly used the huge pyramid as a cover, approached the pyramid in the inner circle step by step, and stopped at the back of one of them, only poking out a head to observe the behavior of this spaceship.

If the spaceship really finds something from the central pyramid, then they will inevitably take the robot back through the traction beam, and they can take the opportunity to snatch the robot as a threat, and even it is not impossible to be pulled into the spaceship by the traction beam with the robot.

If the robot of this spaceship finds nothing, he can enter the pyramid and explore it, and find something he has never seen before and pretend to be an ancient artifact, anyway, no one has seen this thing, and the archaeological team will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake for a while, so he can take this opportunity to seize the ship.

Anyway, Zhang Yuntian's goal is to escape from the ghost star as soon as possible, as for the legend of the ancient artifact, he is not very interested, as long as he can not take himself away from the ghost star's spaceship, it will be useless to obtain any artifact.

I saw that this square robot began to adjust its shape in the process of descending, first stretched out four mechanical legs, two mechanical operating arms and one auxiliary working arm, these limbs were constantly floating with the movement of the traction tube bundle particles, from a distance, it looked like a huge octopus floating in mid-air.

Just when the robot was still three or four meters high from the spire, the quicksand around the spire suddenly tumbled violently, surging up and down like boiling water, and then a black scorpion more than two meters long jumped out, its body shape was almost the same as the scorpion on the earth, the same two pincers, there was a poisonous needle on the tail, the only difference was that it actually had a pair of wings like ladybugs, which could fly in the air.

The robot seemed to have expected something to appear, and the auxiliary arm immediately shot out a green laser ray, which slammed into the giant scorpion's armor, causing a burst of sparks.

The attack, while not fatal to the giant scorpion, pierced its carapace, which squeaked and creaked a few times before burrowing back into the sand.

As the giant scorpion disappeared, the surrounding sand gradually returned to calm, but the archaeological team seemed to expect it to return again, so instead of placing the robot at the top of the tower, they let it levitate in mid-air, vigilantly scanning the surrounding gravel.

After a while, the sand around the spire stirred again, but this time it was more violent, and then the four giant scorpions rose into the air together and launched an attack on the robots in the air.

The robot, which had only one arm to attack, struck a giant scorpion in the head, which screamed, then fell on its back on its stomach and fell on the sand, a stream of yellow-green juice flowing out of the hollow in its head, apparently killed by a single blow.

But the other three giant scorpions took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, stabbing the robot desperately with a tail needle the size of a bucket, making a clanging sound.

The venom of the giant scorpion is not only highly toxic, but also has a strong corrosive effect, although only a small drop falls on it, but it quickly corrodes a large hole in the shell of the super alloy, revealing the intricate wiring of the chip inside.

Another giant scorpion snapped off the auxiliary arm directly from behind with a giant claw.

The three giant scorpions were suspended in mid-air, frantically attacking the robot, and within a few minutes the latter was reduced to a pile of scattered parts, floating in the traction beam.

Just when Zhang Yuntian thought that this battle had come to an end, hundreds of bomb insect robots flew out of the spaceship at once.

The robot is very small, only the size of a little finger, with a head probe and sensor, and a gliding wing on its back, allowing it to glide from high to low for short periods of time, and most of the rest is composed of bombs with the power of 100 kilograms of TN*T.

Although their explosive power is not devastating, they can crawl into the hole of the target and detonate it inside, a single bomb robot can easily blow up a medium-sized ship, and hundreds of bomb robots can even disable a Huanyu-class frigate.

The volume of these giant scorpions added together may not be the size of a medium-sized spaceship, and when they are attacked by hundreds of bomb insects, they will simply be blown up to the point that there is not even a scum left.

I saw that after these bombs were attached to the body of the giant scorpion, they did not detonate immediately, but crawled along the carapace of the giant scorpion, entered the gap of its carapace, and the mouth and ****, and then the bodies of the two giant scorpions in the air shook suddenly, fell to the ground softly, and pus flowed out of countless holes on the body, and died quite miserably.

The remaining giant scorpion saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly burrowed into the sand and disappeared.

After about ten minutes, with a dull loud noise, the whole earth trembled, and the sand shook incessantly.

After more than ten seconds, the sound of the explosion disappeared, and dozens of swirls of different sizes appeared on the sand on the ground, greedily sucking the surrounding sand into it.

When all this was calm, the desert in the center of the entire pyramid group sank to a depth of more than ten meters, and the appearance of the central pyramid gradually emerged.

Its color and composition are the same as those of other pyramids, but more elaborate and chic, like the emperor of this group of pyramids, still standing in the center.

Next to it, the corpses of more than a dozen giant scorpions appeared, all of which looked like they had been blasted open from the inside, and the thick water soaked the surrounding sand into a dark yellow.

Zhang Yuntian realized that it was not the first time that this archaeological team had come here to explore, and they must have suffered the loss of giant scorpions before, and knew that this kind of thing was a social creature, and there would never be an end to killing them one by one, so he came up with the idea of using robots as bait, so that the bomb worms could take advantage of the opportunity to attach themselves to the giant scorpion and be brought back to the nest.

In the nest, they re-search for their targets and dispatch blasts based on the data of the explosives needed to kill the two giant scorpions, destroying the entire giant scorpion nest in one fell swoop.

This is indeed a clever method, but it also exposes their weakness: this group of people has never entered the pyramid at all, otherwise they would not have resorted to such an extreme method to destroy the giant scorpion.

And the archaeological team that can use the bomb worm is definitely not ordinary, the cost of this small insect is extremely expensive, and it can take out hundreds of them at once, it is definitely the same existence as Shenhao, since he is already a rich man in a rich country, he even has a soft spot for the ancient artifact sealed in the pyramid, which shows that if this thing really exists, it can definitely make him a more powerful person than Shenhao, and it is likely to be the overlord of the universe.

There are only two kinds of ambition for man, one is money and the other is power, he is not bad for money, so the pursuit is naturally right.

The next work is the most critical part, but in the sand of the pyramid, there are already so many difficult threats, and no one knows what weird things will be inside.

Zhang Yuntian lay on the back of the pyramid and didn't move, he was not in a hurry to make a move, because someone helped him detect mines, why not do it?

The archaeological ship shoots a towing beam, collects the corpse of a giant scorpion and mounts the ship, and then flies up the atmosphere of the ghost star at full speed.

Zhang Yuntian was not surprised at all, these people were just the current troops, since they had won the first battle, of course, they had to return to the main ship that was waiting in the orbit of the ghost star to resume their lives, and then come over with a more professional team and equipment.

As he expected, just a few minutes later, three more spaceships flew down like the previous medium-sized spaceship, presumably they couldn't contain their excitement and set off from the main ship at the same time as they learned of the good news here, otherwise it would never be possible to make a round trip so fast.

The three ships formed a triangle around the central spire, and each shot a tractor beam downward, first releasing heavy Pioneer robots for digging and cutting, then working robots and gathering robots, twenty or thirty in total.

Without exception, these robots are made of superalloys, which can withstand thousands of times the force of gravity without deformation and damage.

The Pioneer Robot started to chisel from the three sides of the pyramid, leaving only the wall facing Zhang Yuntian as a support.

Zhang Yuntian thought that with the high-tech equipment of the shipowner, it would be effortless to penetrate a pyramid, but a shocking situation appeared, and the three pioneers changed a total of more than a dozen drill bits, and only left a trace a few centimeters deep on the stone wall.

In desperation, the pioneers had to give up the plan of digging on three sides and began to cut a wall in turn, and even then, it took more than an hour to cut a small gap.
