This place is very close to the South Pole, so if you look up from here, you can see the huge orange-green curtain of the South Lights across the night sky. Under the light of the Southern Lights, this crater, which can now be almost called a small basin, is not far from being visible.

A cluster of tents occupies most of the crater, which was taken with it three years ago when researchers working here before the closure retreated. In addition to all kinds of tents, all kinds of equipment, materials, and instruments that cannot be said to be named were also thrown everywhere, and it is not known whether they were caused back then or later blown by the wind. Pipes and cables seemed to extend from the tent to the outside of the crater, heading north.

According to the signal from the probe, in that direction, less than ten kilometers from the crater, is the South Pole research station, Amundsen-Scott Station. This large research station, built by the Americans, has a four-kilometer-long runway, which is enough to provide Hercules transport planes to take off and land. I'm afraid that these materials and instruments here are transported in this way.

When seeing these relics, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of this place back then, an alien ruin, I am afraid that all the scientists who learned the news dreamed of coming in and participating in it.

However, by this time, everything here has been condensed with a thick layer of frost, and in three years, it has become a part of the frozen world of Antarctica.

Hao Shen and Zhao Ran were walking among the hard ice cubes at the moment, and the gate to the depths was on the pit wall in the middle of the camp.

“…… The evacuation was rushed, which led to the destruction of many research materials. Of course, most of this information has been proven to be wrong, so no one has come to clean up the mess afterwards. Zhao Ran walked while recalling the original situation as usual.

"The biggest loss in the accident was the young researchers: young people like to take risks, they can't contain their curiosity, they basically like to crowd in the front line, and some of the big guys have to work in the rear. When the accident occurred, the young researchers bore the brunt of the accident and suffered heavy casualties. But fortunately, you also know that the current scientific researchers in our country are relatively young, so although it is a pity, this kind of loss is not unacceptable from the national level. Those foreign scholars are miserable, young people either go to play IT or finance, and those who like scientific research are also holding books and learning by themselves. Therefore, those old gentlemen could only go into battle in person, and they were almost wiped out in it recently. This has led to the complete discontinuation of certain scientific research projects in several Western countries......"

Hao Shen was not interested in these things at the national level, he was more curious about the accident itself, "What exactly is the accident you are referring to?" Did you encounter a living alien? Or an alien defense system? Or some kind of alien virus? ”

"Neither!" Zhao Ran thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Seriously, I don't know what it is, none of the survivors saw anything, and after I went in, I only heard a very slight sound, like some kind of low-frequency tremor, which made people can't help but tingle their scalps, and the air was filled with a burnt smell, as if something was burned." Some of the surviving experts speculated during the retreat, but at my level at the time, there was no way to know the secrets that were sealed afterwards,"

"Hmm, that sounds like some kind of radiation." Hao Shen pondered for a moment, according to Zhao Ran, there are many reasons for this situation, but the possibility of radiation is the greatest.

"Excuse me." Zhao Yu, who was silently following, couldn't help but tremble at this time and asked, "Could it be nuclear radiation that you're talking about?" ”

Zhao Ran suddenly glared, and poor Comrade Zhao Yu suddenly shrank his neck and continued to tremble.gif

After recovering from the vertigo of time and space, Zhao Yu no longer dared to speak, and when a person finds himself in a situation where his own worldview cannot be understood and interpreted, he will soon fall into a chaotic and inexplicable state. Zhao Yu is better, because at least he has his sister by his side, although he still holds the idea that Zhao Ran is a suspect and an enemy at the moment, he still can't help but obey Zhao Ran's orders - don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, just shut up.

But Hao Shen still answered his question: "It is not necessarily nuclear radiation, there are many substances and energies in the universe that have radiation, and it is very deadly." But the specific answer has to go inside to know ......"

As he spoke, Hao Shen also summoned some probes again to scan the energy level of the entire crater, but the results transmitted back were very intriguing: the entire crater did not have any special energy dissipation at all, in fact, not to mention any energy, the energy level distribution of the entire valley was not as good as the ordinary environment on the earth - at a temperature close to minus eighty degrees, everything here showed a kind of inertia. The low temperature of this moon is different, because even in the sunlit summer, the temperature is about -10 degrees Celsius.

Hao Shen simply put away the probe and continued to move forward.

Soon, the three of them came to the side of the door, stopping at the two probes that had been lost twice before.

Two probes more than a meter long fell very close to each other on the snow, smashing two small craters, and some scattered broken ice splashed far away.

"Wait, I'll take a look." Hao Shen asked the Zhao family sisters and brothers to stop and walked up by themselves.

Just in case, Hao Shen put a cover on himself. After all, there seems to be an invisible layer of unknown things that can attract energy, so be careful.

However, when Hao Shen walked over to the probe, and even took a few steps over, he felt as usual—nothing had happened.

"Did you find anything?" Zhao Ran asked a little nervously.

"Nope! Why don't you come and try it? Hao Shen shook his head and suddenly beckoned to Zhao Ran. Don't worry, it should be fine, after all, you also went in three years ago, and the outside of the door should be safe. ”

"We're not really going in, are we?"

Zhao Yu said miserably, and then was dragged by Zhao Ran's ears: "I'm afraid of a fart, go you!" ”

It turns out that the invisible layer is indeed harmless to the human body. After the two walked in one after another, nothing unusual happened.

"Looks like it's inside!" Hao Shen pinched his chin and said, "We have to figure out what that thing is and how does it work?" And what is the purpose of absorbing energy? And that unidentified signal that was launched into deep space. We have to make sure it's harmless! ”

"Then let's go inside!" Zhao Ran looked at the door and looked very positive.

Hao Shen glanced at her more, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Yu's revelations. Zhao Ran came to Antarctica this time, is the purpose really to collect the body of his first love? If this is really the case, then Zhao Ran can be regarded as an infatuated girl.

It's a pity, why do infatuated people always get hurt?

The entrance to the ruins was closed by a special door, which was not heavy, but it was unusually strong, and the armor-piercing bullet was a white spot when hit. If you want to turn it on, you need to connect it to a dedicated power supply. On Earth, it is definitely comparable to the door of a vault. But this kind of gate was not enough in Hao Shen's hands, he summoned a particle knife to directly dismember the body of the gate, and learned the original behavior of the system, and directly dug a hole out of the gate.

Zhao Ran praised Hao Shen's behavior wildly......

On the other side of the gate was an ice cave that descended diagonally, almost indistinguishable from the ice outside, except for a little dimness. But if you look closely, you can see that a foot below the ice on the ground inside, some large black square outlines stand out.

It was the ground that was built by the scientific expedition personnel, but unfortunately it has been swallowed by ice in three years. Only a layer of slippery ice slopes remains.

The ice cave went all the way down about twenty meters to a relatively flat ice surface, and in a huge ice room, when Hao Shen slid all the way down as if playing a slide, the first thing he saw made his mouth grow in surprise.

Not far ahead, a huge, black and green figure was lying there.

Much of the colossus is still in the thick ice sheet, and the ice chamber, which is about half the size of a football field, is only a small part of it. But its outline can still be roughly seen through the blue ice: it is a huge creature with a narrow front and a wide back, it may be an awl or a trapezoid, and the general shape is really like that of a spaceship.

Visible in the ice chamber is its left side bottom. In this part of it, the lines depicted in strange words are unusually eye-catching!

“…… The Gogun, a transport? It turns out that these patterns are their words! Zhao Ran slid down the second, her eyes were originally on the ground of the ice room, but she was still attracted by the eye-catching words.

When he was in the Three-Body World, Zhao Ran was once pressed by Hao Shen on an adaptive translation system, so although the text on this ship was an alien script, for Zhao Ran at this moment, there was no reading difficulty at all.

"The Gogunn. The name of the ship? Hao Shen pinched his chin, and somehow, when he saw this huge object, he always had a very awkward feeling.
