From surprise to depression, not even two hours have arrived.

It was already late, and if it weren't for the news that was strong enough, Evans wouldn't have crawled out of the bed, and he was already an old man in his sixties.

Now that the situation is like this, then there is no hurry to study these materials, so everyone left with a depressed expression and went back to sleep.

However, there are also two scientists whose purpose is very pure, that is, they want to study extraterrestrial creatures, so these two stay to continue to understand the information.

Evans went all the way back to the lounge, didn't wash again, just lay on the bed, he sighed and said, "I used to feel that something was wrong, and now this situation is even more wrong." ”

As an old scientist, a knowledgeable man, he had long been aware of the differences in the international situation, and with the clues he had just learned from the conversation, he was even more sure of his conjecture.

It would be nice to let the president give such an order, put a famous home star, and by the way, suppress the alliance, then there must be a more important situation than this.

But what could be more important than the discovery of extraterrestrial creatures?

It certainly won't be a war, not to mention that he didn't see a bit of tension in his experience, but the current theme of the world is unity, and the Union and the Federation have become allies.

That should be the discovery...... A more advanced civilization of alien creatures!

Thinking of this, and then connect the recent international events, this matter is already very clear to Evans, although he is a paleontologist, but his research field has been extraterrestrial all his life, and he has tried to use paleontological knowledge to discover extraterrestrial creatures all his life.

Now that this wish has succeeded, he should be very happy, but the reality has made him find a greater temptation, and he is still faintly hidden in the fog, which is very uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, he was very unwilling, and immediately sat up from the bed again: "No, it can't be like this, how can they even hide it from me!" ”

"It's ...... time"

He paid attention to the time, it was already early in the morning, but when it came to such a big thing as multiple agencies sealing at the same time, the director of NASA definitely didn't want to sleep, so he immediately called the phone with smart glasses.

"Carey, it's me, I knew you couldn't fall asleep now, just now a group of "black suits" suddenly found us......"

"Yes, the confidentiality agreement has been signed, you can rest assured ......"

"But I don't think it's that simple, I want to know what's next, don't you want to hide it from me......"

"Of course I know about the confidentiality agreement, but can't an old friend talk about it? And I'm going to report back to you about the details of this secret incident, I'm the leader of the alien biology group......"

"Okay, you come to me, I can't sleep now, I'll wake up and wait for you with a bottle of wine......"

Evans finished the phone call and saw the photo on the table, which was a photo of Beth's doctoral students with him, and he sighed when he saw Beth.

I don't know if Beth will be able to withstand this blow when she returns, and she has been floating in space for more than a year at such a risk before flying to Europa, only to find alien creatures there that cannot be announced to the public, and maybe what they think of as "firsts" will be meaningless. ”

The master and apprentice are still very fateful, and they are not in a good mood, Beth is worried when she looks at more and more new species to discover the catalog, and at this time she understands what Liu Yi has been saying recently, "The book is hated less when it is used".

She felt that her knowledge was completely insufficient, and she really wanted to gather a group of biologists to study these things.

"Captain, I feel like my head is going to explode, it simply can't handle so much information and data." Beth leaned back in her seat depressedly, holding an ice pack in her hand and placing it on the door of her head to physically cool down.

"Then you don't have to deal with these problems anymore, listen to me, record them all, and then bring them home to the garden star, and your mission will also be rated as S-class." Gordon looked at her and comforted.

Hearing their conversation, Sidney, who was typing on the keyboard next to him, stopped his fingers and turned his head and said, "Hey, captain, don't worry, she will never listen to you." ”

"As a biologist, her curiosity and thirst for knowledge will not miss any opportunity to learn about extraterrestrial creatures, and she even wants to do more, so wait and see, Beth definitely has new ideas."

"Sidney, you really know me, if you didn't have Jenny, maybe I'd be your girlfriend." Beth threw the ice pack at him as she spoke, then blinked and said, "Actually, don't wait, I have a new idea right now." ”

"What's new?"

Gordon sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly took an ice pack from Sidney and put it on his head to cool down in advance.

Beth wanted to say it very seriously, but she couldn't help but lick her lips, "It's about large biological sampling, I think it's time to do it, we don't have much time, since we landed, the ice has been shaking more and more frequently, we may not stay for a week before we have to return." ”

It's a real problem, they've been collecting samples, plankton and algae are easy to collect, they've collected quite a bit, but the larger creatures aren't that easy to catch.

Because according to their observations, the competition for survival in Europa's ocean is very fierce, so the large creatures they can see are very cunning, and the slightest mistake will slip away.

But they also have a solution, which is to wait, put a modified super-power signal light in the place where they hit the ice, and then cover the signal light with a "fish cage", as long as there is enough time, it can always cover a few curious Europa creatures.

This method is taking a long time, so it's not too early, and with the situation getting worse and worse, it's very likely that they won't be able to finish the normal mission time.

Just do it, call Mario, who was out there to repair the ship, and ask him to modify the "Fish Trap Lamp", and then put it down with the "Fish Cage".

The renovated "Fish Trap Lamp" is very powerful, not only can emit flashing bright lights of different frequencies, but also has small colored lights next to it, and can also emit different analog sonar signals, all of which are designed for Europa creatures.

Fortunately, they don't need to pay much attention to this plan, just wait, and they can do other work in the meantime.

That's three days.

"Boom—"

"Crunch ~ Crunch ~"

"Bang-clang-"

The astronauts had used to the occasional vibration, but suddenly the landing craft began to shake violently, and many unsecured objects fell down, accompanied by a tooth-aching sound of metal twisting.

"Alert! Alert! The steel cable is subjected to tensile overload! The steel cable is subjected to pressure overload! "The archangel's warning keeps ringing.

"What's going on?!" Gordon exclaimed.

"Giant creatures are coming, the signal of the detection device is disturbed, and the estimated body length is 40!"

This number startled the three people in the landing craft, none of them were so big.

The Archangels had already put the screen on the main screen, but because the target was so large, they could only see the flickering light and the huge tentacles that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

"Kraken! Monsters of the Deep! Sidney screamed rhythmically.

With a "boom", the three people in the landing craft jumped again, this time really because the landing craft began to tilt.

Loading his hands and grasping the seat tightly, Gordon didn't think so much and shouted directly: "Archangel, turn on the jet device on the inclined plane, stabilize the spaceship, and don't fall down!" ”

"Understood! The tilt angle calculation is complete and the auxiliary spraying begins! ”

The angle was quickly corrected by the fierce flames on the inclined plane, but the continuous flamespray produced a high temperature, which immediately melted the ice below, and the situation only lasted for a short time before getting worse.

"No, the ice is starting to melt, we need to get out of here!" Sidney shouted as he looked at the data.

Beth hurriedly shouted: "Get out of here and need to disconnect the cable, Archangel, quickly disconnect the cable." ”

"The automatic disconnect device is not responding, manual operation is recommended." The Archangel reported.

"The manual disconnect device is outside the cabin, we need to go outside the cabin ......"

Gordon said as he felt something was wrong, there was one person missing, "Wait, Mario is still outside the cabin, Mario, Mario, do you hear that?" Please reply when you hear it! ”

"Mario's intercom device went offline, the vital detection device was functioning normally, his heart rate increased, and he was in a state of blood loss." Archangel said.

"The angle of inclination of the landing craft exceeds the critical value, dangerous, dangerous!"

"Fake!!"
