Chapter 138: Skla-class starship
This kind of excavation is quite a disadvantage. Even though Mu Ge's current strength is already equivalent to that of a heaven-level master. There are still many difficulties and progress is slow. This made Mu Ge depressed. If it weren't for the fact that the entrance of the cave was guarded by six or seven reformers. Why should he suffer this crime? Although it is easy to deal with these people, Mu Ge is still unwilling to reveal his identity.
After digging out more than ten meters, Mu Ge had a flash of inspiration, and simply put the crushed ice dug up directly into the ring. That way, you don't have to toss and turn in the ice. If the method is used correctly, the efficiency will naturally increase several times. Even if you move ice cubes into the ring, it will take your senses. But compared to the previous way, it is still a lot easier.
While digging hard, you also have to use your divine sense to monitor the situation outside, and the consumption is not small. After more than two hours, he finally inserted it diagonally into the hole excavated by Pangu, but it also tired Mu Ge enough. Make up your mind that you must stock up on some impact drills, chainsaws, or something in your ring in the future. In this way, it is all manual, and it is completely self-inflicted.
Mu Ge looked at the entrance of the cave, which was nearly four meters in diameter and stretched straight downward. In the center of the hole hangs the steel cable used by the winch. Sliding down the steel cable was the quickest option. However, this will cause the cable to wobble, which may expose itself. There was no way, but fortunately I prepared ice axes and skates for ice climbing this time. I had to climb down the wall next to me.
Dressed in his gear, Mu Ge opened the hole where he was accommodating. The ice cubes that fell off were instantly included in the ring. The man slid out and hung on the wall of the cave outside. He buried the hole with crushed ice in the ring. Then start moving quickly down with the help of an ice axe and skates.
It didn't stop until it was about 50 meters from the bottom of the cave. At this time, the seven or eight transformers below were still busy. They first cut through the ice under their feet with a chainsaw. Then make a smaller downward hole from the far edge that can accommodate two people to go down together. The two men who went down sawed the ice from the bottom. The ice cubes are then piled into an iron basket suspended under the steel cable and sent to the outside of the cave.
Mu Ge nodded, this method is really good, efficient enough. It seems that they are also getting more and more comfortable with it, and they have all learned from experience. The working environment below is very noisy, but the wind and snow at the bottom of the cave are much smaller than above. Although it is very dark underground, it is easy to spot it as long as someone shines a light upwards.
At such a critical moment, Mu Ge cannot expose himself. So he dug a place on the wall directly, and after hiding inside, he piled up ice cubes outside. He decided to just sit down here and wait.
Mu Ge used his divine sense to monitor the outside, and at the same time took out the food to quickly replenish his energy. At times like this, he has to keep himself at the top of his game at all times.
The weather in Antarctica is difficult to predict. But according to Xiao Ai's analysis of satellite cloud images, the duration of this snowstorm should not be short. This is extremely beneficial to Mu Ge and them.
In a blink of an eye, most of the day passed. Pangu smoothly advanced down a few dozen meters. Just as Mu Ge was still hesitating whether to move downward, all the chainsaws below suddenly stopped. Mu Ge was excited, and he realized that maybe something important was about to happen.
After a while, another reformer came down from the roof of the cave. Judging by the attitude of these people towards him, he should be the leader here. When the man came down, he looked around the bottom of the cave. Then, the laser beam, which was in the direction of the construction, was turned sideways and aimed at one side of the wall. Turning around and giving two orders to the surrounding transformers, everyone immediately pointed in this direction and began to dig again.
Mu Ge waited on it. As long as these people are all in the hole that extends laterally. He can easily go down to the bottom of the cave and hide.
The reformer really didn't disappoint Mu Ge. It didn't take long for it to disappear into the hole that stretched sideways. Only from time to time, someone pushes out the excavated ice.
According to their construction method, the frequency of pushing the ice out is fixed. Mu Goka was on time and went directly to the bottom of the cave. With an idea, he simply opened a hole next to the hole they opened sideways and hid it in.
As usual, he used his own ring to move the ice and excavate it, and moved forward in parallel with Pangu. Mu Ge dug quickly, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with Pangu's progress. At this point, he had two choices, either overtake him or keep following him two steps behind.
After discussing it with Xiao Ai, Mu Ge still decided to follow all the time. After all, it is still unclear what Pangu is looking for and whether it is dangerous. If you rush to the front recklessly, you will be treated as someone else's guinea pig.
In this way, one after the other, they advanced forward for another forty or fifty meters, and suddenly all the chainsaws stopped. Mu Ge didn't know why, due to the barrier of the ice, his divine sense detection distance was only more than ten meters away. It's impossible to know what's ahead of you.
At this time, Pangu began to completely switch to manual excavation. And the hand is noticeably softer. It seems that he is afraid that he will dig something up with his heavy hands. This made Mu Ge and Xiao Ai very curious. Could it be that there is still a thousand-year-old elixir buried in such a deep underground? But Pangu made such a big move just to dig up a few medicinal herbs, which is inevitably too unbelievable. If it's not a medicinal herb, what would it be?
When the two of them were reborn in suspicion, with a reformer, a shovel fell gently, and the ice wall in front of them collapsed entirely, as if it had been dug through to another place. It was pitch black inside. Mu Ge's divine consciousness could not penetrate into it, and not only that, but his divine consciousness was reflected back like light touching a mirror. It made Mu Ge dizzy for a while, and he was shocked in his heart, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. What the hell is hidden there, and it has such magical powers!
At this time, the transformers in the passage next to them also stretched out their heads one by one. No one knows what's ahead. All the lights shone through the sea, and there was nothing but darkness. It's like a bottomless abyss.
At this time, the leader of the transformation man took out something like a car key from his body. Raise your hand and point it in the direction of the hole. A second later, a miracle happened. There was a slight fluctuation at the entrance of the cave, and it felt like people's vision was distorted. Then everyone was shocked.
Mu Ge also stayed in the ice cave next to him. Just now, his divine consciousness was no longer reflected back, but smoothly penetrated the past. Because of his divine sense, it can be said that he can see more comprehensively and clearly than anyone present.
At this time, Xiao Ai was also screaming loudly. "Oh my God, I should have thought of it. It was an energy shield just now. It has now been successfully closed. It's a small Skla-class starship! a spaceship from Mars!"
In the huge ice cave not far in front of Mu Ge, a huge spaceship was suspended. The whole body is pitch black, and the fuselage is covered with various textures. The overall shape is very different from that of an airplane on Earth. The fuselage is much wider, and the wings are smaller. The overall shape is domineering and smooth, full of sci-fi and power. The entire spacecraft is about fifty or sixty meters wide and thirty or forty meters long with a wingspan. It's just floating there quietly, and it makes people look up.
Mu Ge was stunned for two seconds before he came to his senses. A strong desire rose in my heart. He must get this spaceship! Thinking in his heart, he was ready to break the ice and solve all the transformers on the scene first.
"Calm down! Xiao Ai sensed Mu Ge's imminent move, and immediately spoke to stop it. "Wait, I always feel that it's not that simple. If only to turn off the energy shield. There was no need for them to dig a hole with such a large diameter. ”
Xiao Ai's analysis makes a lot of sense. If it's to get the ship out, then this hole is obviously not enough. But if it's just to close the energy shield, there's no need to punch a hole with such a large diameter.
Sure enough, Xiao Ai's estimate was correct. In a few moments, the winch hung a huge jar three meters square from above. After landing, it was unloaded by the reformer and dragged over to this side. This device was seen last time Mu Ge went to inspect the reformer barracks. At the time, I only thought it was a tank for storing oil, so I didn't really care about it.
In fact, the thing like a car key in the hand of the transformation leader Mu Ge had seen it before. It just feels like some kind of stone with a very delicate texture, but I never expected it to have such a great function.
The jar was moved directly into the ice cave by the transformer. Pushed to a specific location underneath the ship. Then the ship automatically popped open a cover there, revealing a circular interface underneath.
"I see, brother, don't look at this spaceship still floating here. In fact, its energy has almost been exhausted. There must have been a self-destruct program turned on before. That's why they were so careful when they dug later. This jar must be storing helium-3, ultra-high-purity solid helium-3. This was the most used power fuel on Mars at the time. ”
"No, there are very few helium-3s on Earth. No matter how strong Pangu is, it is impossible to collect such a large amount of helium-3, and it is still solid. ”
"How can there be so much? This large jar needs to ensure that the helium-3 inside is under enough low temperature and high pressure for a long time, so that the helium-3 will remain in a solid state. It is also necessary to facilitate transportation and minimize the escape loss of helium-3. It's amazing that they were able to make the device so small. Don't look at such a big guy, in fact, the solid helium-3 stored in it may only be a few kilograms. But to achieve the purity required by the ship, this amount is absolutely valuable. ”
As the two spoke, Pangu had already connected the large jar and the spaceship with a special pipe. It's a lot like refueling an airplane.
