Ling Qi looked at the photoelectric telescope for imaging, at such a close distance, coupled with the effect of artificial light sources, the scene on the ground was clearly presented on the holographic projection.

It is an undulating hilly area, generally tens of meters high, with the occasional high peak, which is only two or three hundred meters high.

"There are plants, they look like vines, and they look like giant seaweed!" Ling Qi moved the camera and found that the plant species on the ground were very simple, but they grew luxuriantly, covering the ground and some mountain peaks tightly.

"Is the whole island full of this plant?" He couldn't help but have such thoughts.

At this moment, one of the ships suddenly shot a column of energy into the ground, sweeping a long distance. Ten minutes later, the monitoring team reported on the Fleet Channel: "No obvious animal activity was found on the ground, and no live life reactions were found in the life detection." ”

"Acting according to the plan, reducing the altitude in gradients, escorting warships to pay attention to vigilance and protection, and each project team collecting specimens and analyzing environmental data." Guan Tong ordered.

Including the two warships of Qu Shaocheng and others, the large force continued to decline, and every 10,000 meters of descent, some warships stopped descending and dispersed their vigilance. Until a hundred meters above the hills, only the ships responsible for exploration remain. They spread out and stretched out their mechanical arms, some collected plants, some collected soil, and some inserted into the ground to send out detection waves of various frequency bands.

Guan Tong's flagship, Ling Qi's spaceship, and the other two spaceships that Dong Ni and other engineers were on, as well as those spaceships with processing and manufacturing systems, continued to stop at an altitude of 100,000 meters.

Half an hour later, the exploration team concluded that although there is a small amount of mineral distribution within a 1,000-kilometer radius, it is very barren and has no development value. Gravity is suitable, with an atmospheric component, but severe hypoxia. As for the mucous liquid crystals of the female worm, no corresponding signal was found in the echo reaction of the deep detection.

The fleet resets off to explore other areas.

Five days later, the entire floating island was surveyed above the sea surface, and even the wider area exposed at low tide was explored. They found several deep bonanzas of metals and specialty materials, but this time the target of the exploration was the mucous crystal of the mother worm, which was not suitable for deep mining, so the fleet flew away from the floating island and continued to look for the next target.

Luckily, only half a day later they found another floating island, half the size of the first one above the surface. Unfortunately, there are no plants on this floating island, it is like a whole huge meteorite, and its texture is hard, and it does not provide any surprises for the exploration team.

In the following twenty days, the fleet discovered and explored five floating islands one after another, and one of the large floating islands also lived a large number of giant pythons with a body length of 100 meters and a single horn on the top of their heads, and Ling Qi thought that they were Jiaolong. The fleet captured two for research, but still did not find the presence of the mucous crystal of the female worm.

This is a real needle in a haystack, and if there is no factor in the cosmic sea, it would not be so difficult to restore these floating islands to planetary belts.

But the fleet will not give up so easily, since there have been Zerg here, with their terrifying expansion ability, they will definitely occupy more than one floating island, and the exploration team firmly believes that as long as they continue to search, they will definitely find something.

For the next five days, the fleet did not even find a floating island.

It was also in these five days that Shi Yuan successfully promoted to the Meteor Realm and became another cultivator after Changge Rose and Anjino among the women. Encouraged by this, they set off another wave of enthusiasm for exercise.

On the forty-first day after arriving in the Space Sea, the spacecraft that was monitoring the space synchronously raised the alarm, and there was a fierce tsunami movement in the left front of the fleet's forward direction, and the wave height exceeded two million kilometers, and the exploration fleet had to return to five million kilometers to ensure safety.

Alerted, the fleet was immediately pulled up and hovered to a distance of five million kilometers. This wave of cosmic tsunami turned the cosmic sea upside down, causing the internal gravitational field to be capricious and difficult to pacify.

The huge waves continued for five days and showed no signs of subsidence, indicating that the gravitational field in the cosmic sea had not yet reached a new equilibrium, and the fleet had to leave at superluminal speed to find a relatively calm sea.

After flying at three times the speed of light for more than three hours, during which time he departed from subspace observation from time to time, and finally came to another sea area with waves of only a few tens of thousands of kilometers. Such a wave height can be regarded as "calm and calm" in the cosmic sea, and floating islands are not easy to capsize when they fluctuate with the waves.

The fleet again lowered its altitude and approached more than a million kilometers from the sea surface in search of floating islands.

On the sixty-third day, while exploring the edge of another large floating island, the team in charge of deep detection sent good news that there was a signal in the echo that suspected to be the mucous liquid of the female worm. Moreover, no living life reactions were detected.

"Nima, it's not easy!" Ling Qi grinded his fists, ready to find an opportunity to fill his pockets.

This floating island is currently in the stage of low tide, thrown up by the impact of the sea, and is nearly 10,000 kilometers in size, and it is still expanding rapidly. It is estimated that with the current strength of the waves, the part of the sea surface that can be exposed after the tide is completely low can reach more than 30,000 kilometers.

The target area was found deep in a tall mountain range on the edge of the floating island, with the macroalgae and some grasses growing in the mountains, as well as low shrubs with large, thick leaves. Rarely, atmospheric analysis concluded that it was rich in oxygen and that gravity was suitable for human walking. If it weren't for being in the cosmic sea, such an environment would be completely suitable for interstellar migration.

The fleet records the location and divides a small detachment to prepare for landing for confirmation, and after confirmation, it will be directly developed and collected. The large force continued along the edge to explore other areas. Such a huge floating island like a planet, if there is really a female worm sticky crystal body, there must be more than one location.

The only thing to be careful about is if there are bugs hiding somewhere on this floating island.

A ship descended into a valley under the escort of two warships. It is two kilometers wide and is bordered by a tall mountain that rises more than 700 meters from the valley floor. The location where the mucous liquid crystal echo of the suspected female worm appears is within one of the mountains.

The ship stretched out its mechanical arm, the tip of which opened into a twenty-meter-wide hook rake, and began to clear the vegetation on the side of the mountain.

"Dig a hole after a while, unless you find a worm!" Ling Qi was imaging through a photoelectric telescope and staring at the spaceship operations in the valley.

"If there used to be bugs here, where did they go? With the terrifying survival ability of the Zerg, even if the floating islands sink into the cosmic sea, they will not perish! Angelo was also on the bridge to learn about the progress, and at this time expressed doubt.

Ling Qi pondered for a moment and guessed, "Maybe a long, long time ago, they devoured the food and energy substances on this floating island and migrated to other floating islands. It took a long time for the floating island to come back to its current life. Jing Yuexing was eaten up at the beginning, but now it has also recovered. ”
