Chapter 14: The Next Dimension
After a brief rest, the team leader took Mo Ran and the three of them to the space under the roots.
The squad leader took out a spherical illuminated ball and shook it. The fist-sized ball of light emitted a bright glow, like a small sun held in the hand. Previously, the bright lights on the Arrow Blaster had no effect, and the range of sight was limited. Now use the Lighting Ball, which is the lighting tool used to explore some of the deep caverns.
"Alright, let's go!" After knocking a few sturdy awl nails made of reinforced silicon material into the roots of the tree, Mo Ran and the others pulled out the traction line equipped on the heavy armor one by one. Don't worry about going down, there is a forced landing fruit, but the environment is a little troublesome. Also, if you use a tow line, it will be very convenient to come back.
The towline is slim, but tough. A thin tow line is capable of lifting objects weighing several tons. And hanging them, hundreds of pounds of heavy armor and soldiers, is naturally not a problem.
The team leader threw the light ball in his hand. Watch as the bright ball of light gradually becomes smaller in their eyes, and even bounces off a few times before disappearing from their eyes. But the bright light eventually stopped. I don't know where the ball has been bounced. Only a faint light came out of the darkness.
"Alright, let's go down!" Even the deepest cavern has a bottom, because it is impossible to cross the planet. However, the depth is still amazing, it should be hundreds of meters deep. And it's complicated. After weighing it, the team leader nodded. "That's up to you. Be careful. ”
"Got it, Captain." A recruit laughed as he carried a blaster. They had already been surveyed around, and there was no danger. Naturally, it's easy.
"Keep the call running, and if something happens, call for fleet support immediately." For the landing operation, except for the squad leader who simulated it a few times, Mo Ran and them were all first. Many things are naturally explained several times.
Then the team leader took Mo Ran and a few people down.
Holding a blaster in his right hand, Mo Ran held a reducer in his left hand to control the speed of falling. No one will hold the traction line directly with empty hands, that is completely an act of looking for death. Under the influence of speed and gravity, the whole person will be cut in half by the tow line. However, when landing, it is necessary to control the speed to have a reducer.
After the initial dense roots, the space below suddenly opens up. Far below them, there was a faint glow from the orb, but something seemed to be shaking around it. The team leader pinned himself in mid-air, and then turned on the remote camera on his helmet.
Emaciated, monkey-like creatures move around the orb. A few of them were bold enough to poke the small ball of light with their wooden spears. It was found rolling and another scream of panic.
It was the first time they had seen the creatures on Red Ice so closely, and the drone had only seen a vague figure before. Now they are observing these creatures so clearly. However, it seems to be different from the creatures observed on the drone before. And when they landed until now, they didn't find the same creatures that the drone found before.
Obviously, there were more creatures on Red Ice than they had thought. And the scene they saw naturally appeared in the video of the Jinghua and the allied fleet. And all this has surprised many scholars. Because they can see from the video that these creatures seem to use tools and have a certain ability to think.
Soon, however, the crowd was amazed that the creatures had covered the orbs with the surrounding dirt. Soon, the bright light on the illuminated ball was obscured by the dirt and disappeared into darkness.
"This creature seems to be accustomed to surviving in the dark, and I wonder if it's because it's the ability to evolve the ability to see in the dark." Some experts deduced that after all, the Jinghua also transmitted these videos to many places such as the Star Port Headquarters.
And what Mo Ran's team encountered was obviously not unique, and the other squads used the same way as them, and naturally encountered the same situation. They had all found the thin, wooden-speared creatures. And it's all covered with lighting balls.
The surroundings were plunged into darkness again.
"Turn on the lights and be careful." The captain said to Mo Ran and the others. Then there were lights on either side of their helmets. It's just that the irradiation distance is not long. It was just when the squad leader was a little hesitant to continue landing. The originally dark environment gradually glowed with a faint fluorescence, which was like a sky full of stars, dotting this darkness as if in a dream.
"Turn off the lights." The squad leader said immediately. Obviously, it is precisely because of the surrounding lights that these fluorescent plants are not visible. Mo Ran was stunned, and then extinguished the light on the helmet.
And as they moved, the surrounding fluorescence became a little brighter. At the same time, it also illuminates the figures of a large number of creatures below. They were looking up at the Moran group hanging in mid-air. Then there was a scream and they fled in all directions.
Naturally, they couldn't see the traction line, and this appearance looked like four tall guys floating in the air staring at the living beings.
The team leader and Mo Ran naturally didn't know what those creatures thought, and in their opinion, if those creatures were still standing below, they really didn't know whether to land or not. After all, they don't know the attitude of the other party, and if a large group of hostile creatures gather below, they really don't know whether to shoot or not.
After all the creatures fled, the squad leader asked Major Ye Feng. Major Ye Feng ordered to continue exploring. Mo Ran and the others just continued to fall down.
The fluorescence around them became brighter the closer they got to the ground, and when they could get in, they were surprised to find that the fluorescence came from the soil on the ground. It seems that the glowing stuff is hidden in the soil.
It didn't take long for Mo Ran and the others to land on the surface. After the team leader reported the current situation, he asked about the situation above. Finally, crouch down and look at the ground beneath your feet. The glowing stuff looks like gravel, but it's definitely not gravel.
"What is this?" The three of Mo Ran formed a circle and guarded the surroundings. Killing Hall looked at the grit in the hands of the squad leader who was squatting down, and asked softly.
"I don't know, but this fluorescence shouldn't be self-generated, and there should be some principle." For this kind of thing that has never been seen before, the team leader also doesn't know how to explain it. However, this did not prevent him from taking some samples.
With the rucksack down and opened, the team leader took out an empty plastic tube and placed some soil samples into it. During this trip to the Red Ice Star, they saw a lot of incredible things. Now I don't seem to be particularly surprised to see the fluorescent grit. In the end, these questions are naturally the problems that the scientist Xu Ya is worried about.
After collecting the sample, the team leader put on his backpack again. Under the influence of the surrounding fluorescence, they can naturally see the huge tree trunks that are far apart around them.
Yes, there are a lot of vague shadows of tree trunks around. And the most surprising thing to see this scene was not the people of the Jinghua and the Third Fleet. It's the people of the Starport Command in the distance on Earth.
If the trunks are part of the trees above. So, what are those things that seem to be roots around the trunk?
When I had been walking on it before, I found that the roots of the trees that had not changed in width were confusing. Now, it seems, those are not tree roots. But what would it be if it wasn't the roots? This is a huge doubt.
On a red ice star, the changes in the magnetic field are complex, just like Mars. The geomagnetic field here is intricately complex. Therefore, there is no southeast, northwest, southeast, northwest, only front, back, left, right.
Major Ye Feng naturally had a three-dimensional map of their location at the headquarters, which was convenient for them to manage and arrange tasks. The creatures had fled in all directions, and there didn't seem to be a clear direction. However, Major Ye Feng still let them move on. The team leader looked around, then directly found a direction, and then set off. In the previous direction, most of the creatures on the Red Ice Star were heading in that direction. It should be safe to think about.
On an unknown planet, it is best to seek a certain stable environment. After all, there are so many unknowns.
On the other hand, after paying a certain tip, you can naturally know the general direction of the motorized infantry.
So he got the direction for Mo Ran and the others to move forward, and because of this incident, his father also paid a certain price. After all, in the end, I have to contact some bigwigs such as the parliament.
In the room where the rest lasts, in a small personal communication. There is the movement route of each team of the Heavenly Wolf on it, and there is a red punctuation mark in it, which is the direction of Mo Ran's team.
Naturally, the general actions of the Sky Wolf will not be concealed, and it is very easy for the Third Fleet of the allies to find out. But the movements of the various teams of the Sky Wolf are naturally confidential. But at this time, it was because of the end that the Apollo Legion of the allies could know the movements of the Sky Wolf Squad in detail. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage. They were able to arrange all the teams to explore around the Sky Wolf Team first, and master all the information resources.
Of course, Captain Luo Xian and Major Ye Feng didn't know about this matter. If he knew, he would definitely be imprisoned by now.
