Chapter 12: Diving into the Mantle
On the back side of the asteroid, like a chaotic world, there is no sky, no light can be seen, only endless darkness continues to eat away at the soul of life, as if it wants to completely pull life into the abyss, and there is no hope in sight.
The most terrifying thing in the universe is not alien civilizations, not terrible celestial bodies, but the darkness that can't be fathomed up and down.
But technology is the only way to defeat the darkness, and in the deep darkness of the night, the patrol boat numbered 921514 slowly rises and soon disappears.
It is to go to a place full of light, heat, and life, to fulfill its great mission.
Unlike before, the patrol ship was devoid of any humans on board, only a large number of intelligent robots.
These flexible robots are human-like in appearance and very harmonious in appearance. Each robot has a different template and is responsible for different tasks, although they already have a high level of intelligence, but they still lack some strain and spirituality in the face of the unknown.
So in this operation, humans on the asteroid will control the robot remotely. On the basis of quantum communication, it can be almost perfectly regulated to cope with any possible situation.
About three hours later, the patrol boat began to pass through the Noodle Star atmosphere. Under the action of the electromagnetic levitation system, the 921514 steadily pierced the gray atmosphere and flew over the Arctic Ocean.
This is the high latitude zone within the Polar Circle, and it is the polar night. The robot on the spaceship can appreciate the graceful posture of the aurora and the bright stars of the starry sky. Icebergs float in the Arctic Ocean, but you can't see Arctic creatures.
There is much less pollution here, and 921514 stop for a moment, and then quickly rush to the North Pole.
There's a huge ice cave where patrol boats can go deep into the Arctic Ocean and evade Noodle Man's detection.
The patrol boat quickly arrived at its destination, and without stopping for a moment, it rushed straight into the ice cave.
It's literally an ice world, with several long ice picks dangling like tongues of ice. The glaciers on both sides are smoother and go straight downward, as if they are plunging directly into the center of the earth. It's hard to imagine such a holy place on this filthy planet.
There was darkness everywhere, and silence filled the entire ice cave. Soon, the patrol boat was submerged in the water. No one wants to enjoy a biting icy bath, where the cloak of optical invisibility has been shed and patrol boats must pick up speed and dive to the bottom of the ocean.
The Noodle Man Second Alliance may have the ability to detect the entire sea, and if it dives to the bottom of the sea at a very fast speed, finds the submarine crater and drills into it, even if it is discovered, it will be gone. Liu Wei doesn't think that Noodle People can have the ability to continuously track the asthenosphere.
The patrol boat soon dived to the bottom of the sea, and on the great plain of the seabed at a depth of more than 4,000 meters, 921514 finally found a huge crater with bubbles. The power of the volcano heats up the nearby seawater and maintains a high temperature of nearly 80°C.
The ground near the crater is undulating, with countless odd-shaped rocks intertwined into delicate sculptures. Under the red light, you can clearly see the footprints of the surrounding lifeforms. There were many small balls with extremely long tentacles moving, and several strange creatures with roe deer brains were foraging for food, including one with tentacles in its mouth, swaggering around the crater. Even on this hot rock, there are seaweed-like creatures. It's an undersea paradise.
The patrol boat did not dare to linger, it quickly burrowed into the blazing volcano, and the powerful nano-armor ignored the thousand-degree heat, and slid freely downward, as if strolling through the streets.
I don't know how long it took for the patrol boat to stop, and the hearts of the people who were far away on the asteroid still hung and could not be put down.
Probably having discovered something, the patrol boat quickly rushed to a large rock and stopped on it.
"It should be here, our nanochips have invaded a rebel quantum conference room and obtained some confidential information." Han Qiao's right fist clenched, cutting the railway.
"Let 921514 scan it carefully again, and prepare to put the nanobots for testing." Liu Wei shook his head, pointed to the small dot that symbolized the patrol boat, and said.
Sharpening the knife is not wrong for the woodcutter, he needs to make sure that it is correct.
In addition, the number of troops on a patrol boat is limited, and several robots say that they will use it, so they must be careful with their calculations.
The results of the scan were quickly popped up on the holographic screen, and surprisingly, almost all the reconnaissance methods failed, Liu Wei and others could only see the rock formation about two kilometers down, there was a seismic wave blind spot, and there must be a demon when things went wrong, which was very likely to be the den of the rebel leader Li Luao.
Hundreds of thousands of nanobots crept out of the patrol boat, formed several phalanxes, quickly searched a few holes in the rock, and then drilled down in an orderly manner.
Their mission is simply to invade the other party's base and establish a point-to-point quantum communication link with Leo so that humanity can "see" into this strange civilization at the quantum level.
Nanobots have the advantage of being lightweight, tiny, and large-scale, they can penetrate into very small holes, and they also have a certain digging ability, and whenever they encounter some obstacles that are difficult to move forward, they can use their laser excavation equipment to eliminate difficulties. Although the capabilities of individual nanobots are limited, they are superior to a huge number.
The robot soon reached the bottom, revealing a swarthy boulder. After a simple cleaning, a flat layer of titanium alloy can be clearly seen.
After further investigation, the nanobot quickly slipped through a layer of metal and drilled inside. Like an ant plunging headlong into bread, there is no trace.
But the good times didn't last long, and the nanobots soon encountered a strange membrane, which was extremely flat, without even the slightest undulation.
After being scanned by an intelligent microscope, this plain could not show any details, and it was still endless and flat.
In the asteroid, everyone seemed to be immobilized, their eyes widened, and they stared blankly at the hologram.
Jimmy muttered to himself, "This is certainly not nanotechnology, and molecular structural materials (nanomaterials) are nowhere near that level. It can't be picomi technology, I've seen superatomic materials (picomi materials) in Titan, and it's impossible for this material to be magnified at a billion times without any details. I'm afraid this is femtomi or even Ami material. This...... It's incredible. ”
Liu Wei touched his chin and said: "Even so, don't be fooled by appearances, maybe the neutralization of our investigation methods is also related to this membrane, but aside from this, the scientific and technological level of this civilization is not high, and it may be ......."
The atmosphere was suddenly depressing, and people held their breath and looked at the holograms, as if the truth was about to come out.
Suddenly, Hans trembled and said, "Is it ...... There are more advanced civilizations on this planet? They give aid to this rebel leader? ”
Liu Wei glanced at Hans, shook his head, and said, "What will happen if the People's Liberation Army in the 21st century returns to the Opium War?" ”
Hans suddenly realized, and he exclaimed: "The gap in technology is too big!" An alien civilization with such material technology may only need a patrol boat to easily take down the Noodle Man civilization. Besides, if the rebels had this kind of material technology, they wouldn't be able to nest here as a shrunken turtle. ”
The corners of Liu Wei's mouth raised: "So, I decided to let the nanobots try to break it with laser force, we don't want to penetrate this layer of turtle shell, we just want to bluff and tell Li Lu Ao that if he has the intention of cooperating with us, he will definitely take the initiative to let us in." ”
"Li Lu Ao needs us, and he doesn't dare to bet on the hardness of this turtle shell!"
