Chapter 162: Traces of Civilization

"Land reclamation? It's still early days, we don't know what the land has yet, and the only plan is to cut down trees. With such a large primeval forest, the logging machines in our warehouse may not be enough! ”

"I think it's not bad to live on the Sea of Clouds, although the room is a little smaller, and I'm getting used to it over time. If you live in the forest, hehe, insects alone are enough to eat a pot! ”

"What's the matter, just make enough money!"

"I think it's safer to ship the Sea of Clouds, and you won't starve to death here......"

The discussion in the restaurant was all trivial things, but it was clear that everyone's sense of belonging to the Yunhai was very high, and everyone thought that this ship was the safest place.

The host on the TV screen is introducing the newly discovered continent, and the drone has flown 200 kilometers in one direction and still has no end in sight, indicating that this is indeed a large continent, not an island.

The land is covered with high and low primeval forests, and the taller trees can even reach a hundred meters, somewhat similar to the cedar trees on earth.

Photographs taken by the plane, traces of some small beasts were also found.

However, these beasts are hidden in the forest, and they only shoot a few small parts, which are not too clear......

……

At this moment, at the central building of the Yunhai, dozens of high-level government officials are discussing the details of the landing.

"At the moment, as far as our drones have observed, this is a planet similar to the Earth, with a climate, atmosphere and microbial environment that is quite similar to the Earth. The exact situation needs to be further studied. ”

"Well, I know what everyone wants to know the most, so I won't talk nonsense...... About the wisdom of civilization here......"

On the stage, a lean man in his forties was speaking.

His name is Guo Xianxian, and he was the highest-ranking one in the former army, and his main function was to be responsible for the research of new weapons and equipment.

But at this moment, this General Guo has become the leader of the reconnaissance team, there is no way, he was originally in charge of weapons and equipment, and he still has to be on top.

He swallowed his saliva and said, "This continent is a trace of intelligent life...... Exist! But it's not obvious. If you look at these pictures, there used to be a city here, and we have reason to think that intelligent life on this planet has been extinct for some time, maybe decades, even centuries...... Maybe it's a supernatural disaster. ”

After the man said this, there was a discussion in the audience.

Lu Yiming looked at the photo in hand, his pupils dilated slightly.

The drone photographed some high-rise buildings, some cement pavement, and even some rusty steel bars!

"High-rise buildings mean that the indigenous civilization here has developed at least a certain degree of technology. What level of technology is reinforced concrete......

"If the intelligent civilization here dies...... We...... Alas, the situation is not optimistic. Lu Yiming sighed in his heart.

Because of this evidence, people can't help but have a hint of pessimism in their hearts.

So what exactly is this unknown catastrophe? Can humanity's current technological prowess be able to compete?

There are a lot of plants living on the land, and there are also a small number of wild beasts. If they can all survive normally, why can't humans?

Has the super-disaster that once erupted disappeared?

And why did those brain-controlled bugs flee here after they discovered the land?

These questions naturally popped up in my heart.

But it is impossible for the Yunhai to give up directly, if you give up exploring because of these questions, it is naturally impossible, not to mention that there are traces of the city here, maybe there will be any special gains?

Even if you cut down some trees and pick up some garbage, it's good.

"Guys, please look at the photos. Our drone is 120 kilometers away from here, photographing the city. According to the population density of our earth, the population size of this city is estimated to be between 4 million and 10 million people, which is a large city...... It is difficult to say the specific level of science and technology, and it is possible to be a little behind us, or a little more advanced. ”

Lu Yiming stared at the big screen and pondered for a while.

There are very few traces of man-made structures, and most of the houses have collapsed, and they are covered with various plants that resemble creepers. If you don't look closely, you think it's a raised hillside.

Occasionally, it was possible to find reinforced concrete exposed from the ground, but due to the passage of time, these steel bars have long been rusted.

Plants with tenacious vitality that take over the entire city.

"If our cities had not been inhabited for decades, or even centuries, they would have become what they are now. Nature's ability to recover is far greater than human imagination can be. ”

At this time, Lu Yiming asked, "General Guo, can the robot's automatic exploration complete this kind of task?" If there is an unknown disaster with a high degree of danger on this continent, is it too dangerous for human exploration? ”

"Hey, in fact, we also thought about this problem, but after research, we found that it can't!" Guo Xianfeng sighed, "The terrain is too complicated, there are obstacles everywhere, potholes and raised roads, all kinds of trees, shrubs and collapsed building materials blocking the way. Our robots are completely unable to walk in such a complex terrain. If you use drones, it's not impossible, it's just ...... Drones don't have much access to information. ”

Drones fly in the sky, and if you want to fly into a building and use a robotic arm to carry something, it's very difficult, almost impossible.

"As for our intelligent robots, it's better to forget ......"

Guo Xianfeng said this and shook his head again. The current anthropomorphic robot, the performance is really not good, even picking up a leaf is very difficult, and it is difficult to get the robot to pick up a hair with its fingers.

One security expert said, "Is it up to humans in the end...... However, safety measures must be adequate. It is not only necessary to ensure the safety of the front line, but also the safety of the Yunhai. ”

Lu Yiming sighed: "I understand, the relevant mobilization has already been done." Manpower is not a problem. ”

After discussing it for a while, after discussing various details, Ding Yuan issued a final order: "Since there is no way to explore intelligently, then it will be ...... at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Let's follow the plan and start executing! ”

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, in the midst of lively discussions, the Yunhai Shelter finally sailed to the edge of the Yang River, and through the telescope on the top floor of the Central Building, it was already able to observe the lush primeval forest 10 kilometers away!

This is also the first new continent discovered by humans outside of the Yang River!

Everyone has high hopes for it, whether it's replenishing resources or gathering information, and it's a new starting point.

In the midst of the enthusiastic attention of all the people, the exploration of the New World has officially begun!

To be cautious, the first phase of the work will be animal experiments, with a small drone carrying about 10 carefully cultivated rats into the primeval forest and allowing them to roam freely to detect some level of danger.

There is no mistake
