In a pitch-black tunnel that stretched downward, two bright light sources were constantly intertwining, it was Yuan Chen and Smith, who were each hanging a sturdy rope and struggling to climb downward.
"Don't be too forced, you better go up first." Yuan Haochen said.
Smith's wheezing voice grew heavier and heavier, and it was clear that his physical strength was severely overdrawn and was already approaching the limit. Now, he is already relying on perseverance to hold on.
"I'm really ashamed, as a core member of the action group, my physical fitness is not as good as that of the members of the science team, whoop ~ whoop ~ whoop "
Smith gasped as he spoke, and his tone was full of regret.
"Don't mind that, you can rest in place for a while, and when you recover your strength, you can continue to search the ruins on the surface, and maybe there will be important discoveries." Yuan Haochen adjusted his breath slightly, and then said solemnly to Smith.
"Well, then you have to be careful when you go down! Safety first. Whew~"Smith knew his physical condition, so he had to accept the reality.
"Okay, I'll go on, and you should be safe."
After Yuan Haochen briefly explained, he began to continue to climb down.
......
This is the site of the Dung Star.
The natural environment of the Dung Star is much harsher than that of the Sand Star, and the entire surface of the planet is dark brown and desolate as far as the eye can see, and like most barren planets in the universe, there is no trace of liquid water on the surface of the planet.
Because the planet's atmospheric conditions are not suitable for breathing, and the average surface temperature is as high as 162 degrees Celsius, and, most importantly, the earth's gravity of 188.2%, Yuan Haochen and others did not dare to land rashly to explore.
It is speculated that 2.1 billion years ago, the orbit of Dung Star was closer to Alpha Centauri B (star) than it is now, meaning that Dung Star was a hotter planet than it is now. This is one of the reasons for the severe lack of water resources on the planet.
Although it is not an ideal abode for nucleic acid/protein organisms, it is believed that it may not be penniless in the eyes of the Creator civilization, and perhaps it may have a different value and strategic significance.
Sure enough, with the help of the Trinity satellite monitoring system, a day ago, Yuan Haochen and the others finally locked on this target with exploration value on the surface of the planet - a suspected unnatural architectural ruins.
The ruins are located on a plateau in the southern hemisphere of the Dung Star, and Hara speculates that this may be an observatory built on the planet by the Creator's civilized world.
With a precise goal in mind, after discussion, Hara, Smith and Lynn decided to go to the field for an in-depth exploration.
The trio then landed on the plateau where the ruins were located aboard the Mirai spacecraft.
The environment here was too harsh, so the frail Lynn was left behind on the Future spacecraft to take on the logistics work.
When Hara and Smith stepped out of the sphere of influence of the artificial gravity system of the Mirai spacecraft, they were quickly enveloped by a powerful gravitational effect.
With an average weight of 70kg and an extravehicular spacesuit of 80kg, under the influence of a gravity aura of 188.2%, it is equivalent to carrying three of yourself on the planet.
Even a core member of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance's action team like Smith was overwhelmed after a long period of action.
A planetary observatory that can withstand such a harsh environment is certainly not comparable to the sturdiness of ordinary buildings. Rao is so, after a long period of wear and tear, these buildings have long been in a mess, leaving only the ruins of the wall, telling the future of the past.
At present, it is difficult to find anything of value in the ruins of these buildings.
Thankfully, Hara and Smith discovered a pitch-black tunnel that stretched down next to a ruined cliff.
They speculated that the tunnel was an elevator-like elevator in the original observatory, perhaps to mitigate the effects of the heat, and that part of the building was built underground, which means that there may be more well-preserved materials beneath the remains of the observatory.
After scanning by the probe, it also confirmed their suspicion that there is a large space in the ground at a depth of about 100 meters.
So, Yuan Chen and Smith climbed down the tunnel together.
......
Although the process was very difficult, Yuan Haochen still climbed to the bottom of the tunnel with difficulty "carrying three of himself".
There was a dead silence all around, and the powerful beam of light emitted from the helmet of the spacesuit pierced through the thick and eternal darkness around it like a sharp sword.
It's hard to imagine that this is a dusty relic of a civilization that has been sealed for 2.1 billion years.
After a slight adjustment, Yuan Haochen slowly moved forward with slight steps and began to explore this mysterious underground world.
It seemed that the area where Yuan Haochen was now should be the hall of the entire underground space, and through the beam, he could faintly see the closed door on the wall around the hall not far away.
"This must be the remains of the Creator's World!"
Yuan Haochen observed carefully, and his heart became more and more determined.
The height of the passage, as well as the size of the other facilities, suggests a clear message that the sapient beings that once lived here were sapient beings far taller than the humans on Earth.
Here, Yuan Haochen can also clearly feel the architectural style similar to the [Source of Creation].
The overall appearance of the Creator's building does not look exquisite, and even looks a little rough and shabby, but after carefully observing the material texture of the building and the overall construction process, you will be shocked to find that there is a sense of wild power and surging grandeur everywhere!
As Genesis AI 8 describes: "Not all cosmic civilizations aspire to delicacy and subtlety. Majestic and magnificent waves are the true nature of cosmic civilization! ”
Obviously, there is a big difference between the Creator's civilization and the aesthetic standards of the Earth's civilization.
"It looks like this is an underground experimental area, and I hope that some important materials can be left in the surrounding laboratories."
Yuan Haochen thought to himself in his heart.
"Whoo~Whoo~"
It was a world of absolute silence, dead silence and no sound.
Yuan Haochen could only hear his own heavy wheezing, the sound of a powerful heartbeat, and the hum of his cochlea like an auditory hallucination because of the extreme silence.
He came to the entrance of the first laboratory, because he had the experience of exploring the [Source of Creation], so after groping around the wall, he found a specific switch, and after some thought, Yuan Haochen finally raised his hand and pressed the switch.
"Wow~"
A real, deep voice was heard, and the door to the laboratory opened...... (To be continued.) )
