Ye Han suddenly stopped, and called in a particularly deep tone: "Luo Qi! ”

Luo Qi involuntarily typed a wit, and instinctively replied with a word: "To!" ”

"You're so right!" Ye Han praised Luo Qi fiercely, "Ship Bridge Shipbridge, I'm Dong Qi, please reply when you receive it!" ”

Immediately came a reply with a bit of interference in the communication: "Cave and hole, the bridge has received it, please speak!" ”

"Bridge, I need the details of the desert, the thickness of the sand layer and the situation under the sand, the sooner the better!"

"The bridge understands, wait a minute!" Lin Yi immediately took action, quickly searched for information, and soon took the information that Ye Han needed, "Chief, the average thickness of the sand layer is three meters and five, but the situation is different in different regions, and the thickest place may be dozens of meters; Underneath the sand there may be rocks, soil layers, deposits of various minerals, and so on. ”

"In other words, you can make a hole, right?"

Lin Yi happened to see the map of the desert underground water system on the data, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, it's completely possible, if you're lucky, you may be able to find a dry underground river, and even save yourself from making holes." ”

Ye Han stopped suddenly: "Do I have an underground river here?" ”

Lin Yi hurriedly looked at the map: "No, the nearest underground river is seven kilometers away, but the information of the underground river is very imperfect, and it is really difficult to say whether there is an underground river in the mission area." ”

"Understood, you can check it for me again, do you have any details of the mission area, such as what's under the sand." Ye Han said.

Lin Yi was momentarily stunned: "Chief, there is no information on this!" ”

Ye Han was angry: "You haven't looked for it yet, so you said no?" ”

"Not really, I just looked for it!"

"Have you asked your superiors?"

"Huh?"

"Ahh

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away!" Lin Yi hurriedly agreed, but he couldn't turn this corner in his heart.

Ye Han is not talking nonsense, the desert is indeed a forbidden area of life, but human beings have done a lot of things to challenge the forbidden area of life, and the desert is an oil-producing area and a mining area, and the oil and mineral departments did not do much in the desert before the war.

After the insect plague began, because the desert is a forbidden area for insects to survive, the mining department also opened mines in the desert for a period of time.

Although the desert giant worm appeared later, the Sea of Death was originally particularly barren

If you have surveyed the mission area, then the superiors will definitely be able to find the underground information of the mission area!

As expected, it didn't take long for Ye Han to receive the exploration data from Lin Yi, judging from the records on the data, there were a total of three survey points in the mission area, and the depth of the sand layer at the time of the survey was about five meters, and the sand bottom of two of the survey points was a salt layer four to seven meters thick, and under the sand of the last survey point was an ordinary mountain rock.

It can be judged that the mission area was a small salt lake at one time.

This is all the information that Ye Han obtained, and after he shared the information with others, Xiao Yuan was the first to speak: "The three survey points are not in the northwest direction, but judging from the location of these survey points, the northwest direction should be within the scope of the salt lake!" ”

Ouyang Ping said: "I have been to the salt lake, where the salt cover is very hard, and it is difficult for giant insects to dig through the salt layer. ”

Xiao Yuan said: "How about the penetration of the positioning signal?" Can you penetrate five meters of sand? ”

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping both said that they didn't know, and then called the communication soldiers, but the communication soldiers did not know the penetration ability of the positioning signal.

Ye Han had to contact the bridge again, but Lin Yi told him that the five-meter-deep sand layer could not block the positioning signal, even if the satellite high above could not receive it, it would definitely be received on the ground!

Hearing this, Ye Han's spirits were lifted, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to carefully search for the signal - what if the enemy was indeed hiding under the sand?

The team that pulled the net forward advanced for several kilometers in a row, but did not find any clues, at this time, Ye Han suddenly found that the wind had become smaller, and the sand in the sky was slowly falling, and soon a thick layer fell on the soldiers.

The sunlight that has been covered by the sand and dust penetrates the sand and dust, and it shines down in white, dazzling people.

As the sand fell, the visibility became higher and higher, and Ye Han found several low, withered, and knotted old trees under the sand dunes in the distance, their thick trunks were either upright or tilted, as if solidifying the vicissitudes of time and the sentimentality of the years.

Although he couldn't see the details of the big tree clearly, Ye Han knew that it must not be an alien plant, but the legendary desert backbone, known as the poplar that "lives without falling for a thousand years, grows without dying for a thousand years, and does not fall for a thousand years after death".

His knowledge of Populus euphratica was very limited, except that the plant was particularly drought tolerant, and he vaguely remembered that the place where it grew was usually close to the underground water veins, and it was concluded that the water table here at some point should not have been low.

Due to the location, the sand dunes blocked the lower body of the poplar, and as the team gradually advanced, the lower body of the poplar gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Ouyang Ping, who was the first to walk on the sand dune, suddenly exclaimed, pointed to the poplar under the sand dune and shouted: "Chief, look! ”

Ye Han rushed up to the sand dunes in a few steps, looked down with wide eyes, and was stunned to find that under the dead poplar tree, there were actually a few strange plants that were covered in green, low and stout, three points not like trees, but like mushrooms!

"Super plants?" Ye Han subconsciously blurted out, he and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, and the two of them thought of the scientific expedition team at the same time.

"Let's go, go down and have a look!" Ye Han pulled his legs and ran down the hill, the strong power of the armor gave him a strong bounce power, and he fell under the sand dune in a few vertical jumps.

Although it is lightly airborne, the dead weight of the power armor is not low, and the sand can drown the ankles with every step, in this case, walking is far less convenient than jumping.

Ye Han stopped five meters away from the alien plant and carefully observed the situation around the plant.

Although various sources say that super plants are not dangerous, in a place like the desert, everything cannot be judged by common sense, what if the super plant mutates due to the special environment? What if it's just a few ordinary desert plants and not a super plant?

Xiao Yuan fell to Ye Han's side and asked eagerly, "Chief?" ”

"Shhh-" Ye Han motioned for Xiao Yuan to silence and observed for a while.

The canopy of the alien plant is covered with sand, and it can be concluded that it is not just grown, but the sand also obscures the details on the canopy, and it is not clear that the expedition team has not taken samples from them.

Turning his head to see a withered poplar, Ye Han took out his saber and walked over, slashed the wrist-thick branch with a knife, carried the alien plant close to him, and stabbed the alien plant lightly.
