When an entire coastline appeared on the screen, everyone present was shocked by the shocking scene. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's similar to the corner of the coast I saw before, and at first glance, the water near the coastline is all pitch black, and this ink-like water stretches along the coastline to the farthest point. At the farthest point, it was almost a thin line, but it was still firmly blocked between the coastline and the water, giving the impression that the coast of the planet was like this. But if you look closely at the screen, you'll find a large number of tubes of varying thicknesses on the shore side, each of which is spraying black liquid into the water. After the black liquid fell to the shore, it quickly merged with the dark water on the shore, leaving only a circle of ripples that continued to spread into the ocean.

Seeing the scene on the screen, although Zhou Xin was shocked, he still seemed relatively calm when he asked: "Atlas, what are those black liquids, have the detectors analyzed them?" ”

"Not yet." Atlas replied, "The probe has just sent back this complete picture, and they have asked it to sample and analyze the nearby seawater." ”

Half an hour later, the detector sent back a preliminary analysis of the surrounding seawater, which showed that the dark water contained heavy metal levels that were severely exceeded, as well as the presence of a large number of toxic substances, and even a small amount of radioactive residue was detected in the water. All in all, it was a massive aggregate of all sorts of strange poisonous substances that came from unknown sources, and according to Atlas, who had just finished reading the report, a teaspoon of that black sewage was enough to poison fifty adult elephants.

Looking at the highly toxic sewage that was still being discharged in large quantities in the human picture, Zhou Xin frowned and asked, "Where did so much highly toxic sewage come from?" Where does all this sewage come from? He had a vague thought in his mind, but he wasn't sure if he was right.

However, Atlas's analysis confirmed his thoughts, "According to the results sent back by the probe, if the industrial system of this civilization is still normal, in fact, most of the substances in this water are just sewage produced in industrial production, and many substances will even appear on our spacecraft." It's just that the sewage on the spaceship has been effectively treated after it is generated, but this civilization has chosen to discharge it directly. Then she said in a puzzled tone, "However, although most of the toxic ingredients are relatively common in industrial production, where do those radioactive substances come from?" Do they even discharge this kind of thing without disposing of it? ”

"Sure enough." After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin sighed, "We have also experienced the era of chaotic emissions before, can it be said that the development of every civilization will inevitably reach this step?" Then he muttered to himself in confusion, "But this civilization's technology has developed to such a high level, why is it still directly discharging sewage?" ”

"It must be that their planet is bigger." Atlas speculated, "So they don't see the impact on the environment yet." ”

"By the time the actual impact is made, it's too late." Zhou Xin sighed, "You also said that this planet is relatively large, and it will definitely be more difficult to deal with after the problem is really exposed, just like the coastline in front of you, there is so much sewage, and I don't know how long it will take to deal with it." ”

"It doesn't have anything to do with us." Dart's words were very realistic, "This is the planet's own business, what are you doing for them?" ”

"I understand, it's just a pity for such a beautiful planet." Zhou Xin's tone was a little regretful, and then he asked, "Atlas, this probe on the planet should be working normally, can we start the investigation of the planet's indications?" ”

"Uh-huh." The little girl nodded, "It's been a long time coming." ”

"But how many places can you search with just such a probe?" Spred, who was next to him, was a little worried.

"That's for Atlas." Zhou Xin smiled, "I think she should have stuffed a lot of small detectors into that detector a long time ago." ”

"Sure enough, it's the captain's brother who is smarter." Atlas complimented, "People have a hundred small detectors in that detector, and I'm afraid there won't be enough." ”

"Good job." Zhou Xin said, "Then let's start investigating." After saying this, he thought for a moment, "Well, let's start with this polluted coastline." Atlas, let the probe investigate the extent of the contamination in the vicinity. Then slowly extend inward along the sewage pipe, and find a way to find the source of sewage, such a large amount of industrial wastewater, there should be a large industrial area nearby. ”

"Got it."

"Be careful not to be discovered by civilizations on the ground." Zhou Xin admonished uneasily.

"Don't worry."

It was not until Zhou Xin had dinner that the probe finally explored the entire contaminated area. To Zhou Xin's surprise, the scope of the contaminated area was much larger than he expected. The entire polluted coastline is more than 100 kilometers long, and the pollution extends more than 10 kilometers into the sea, and in some places traces of pollution can be clearly seen even 15 kilometers from the coast, and sewage pipes of different thicknesses can be seen everywhere along the coastline, and some pipes have even been stacked together. The liquid that spewed out of these pipes was not only the black sewage that I had seen before, but also a variety of other colors, and the most exaggerated scene that everyone saw was: more than a dozen pipes were stacked on top of each other, and the liquid sprayed out of these dozen pipes was actually more than a dozen different colors, and even none of the two sewage discharged were the same color. If you just look at these patterns, who would have thought about the danger hidden behind the substances that make up them?

In addition to the dense sewage pipes, the images sent back by the probe show piles of various garbage like mountains on the coastline at intervals, and many of the garbage drifting directly to the open sea under the washing of the sea. Of course, in addition to the large amount of floating garbage, if you look closely, you will also find a large number of corpses of various unknown creatures in the middle of the garbage, these corpses are of various sizes, but they are all wrapped in a thick layer of black liquid, making it completely impossible to see what they were.

In addition, not only along the coastline, but also when the probe flew inland to explore, it also found a lot of mountains of garbage piled up together. Most of the garbage mountains are neatly arranged together, except for a few particularly large individual pieces of garbage that are left alone. Looking at the appearance, these single pieces of garbage placed separately are very similar to part of the battleships that Zhou Xin has seen before.

After flying nearly three kilometers inland from the coastline, the number of garbage heaps in the footage sent back by the probe has decreased significantly, but the amount of large garbage has increased significantly, and the large garbage is arranged in a haphazard manner, leaving only a few barely passable roads in between. After flying another kilometer or so, the scene on the ground returned to normal a little, and sparse grass-like plants began to appear, although these plants looked very weak, but they stubbornly survived in such a harsh environment.

Looking at the polluted area marked by Atlas on the screen, Zhou Xin was silent, and after a while, he spoke: "With such a large polluted area, does this civilization really want to destroy this planet?" This is not a level that will not have an impact on the environment for the time being. ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, everyone in the command cabin also fell silent, and after a long time, Spred hesitated and said: "Maybe only this place is like this, and other places may not be the same." ”

Sighing deeply, Zhou Xin knew that the situation on the planet could only be seen here, and his mood seemed a little depressed. He didn't say anything more, but waved his hand and motioned for Atlas to let the probe continue the investigation.

Since it was getting late, Zhou Xin went back to rest after giving the order, but when he left the command module, his face still looked preoccupied, obviously still remembering the situation on the surface of the planet.

Nothing happened all night......

The next day, Zhou Xin woke up early in the morning, quickly cleaned up, and quickly came to the command cabin with breakfast. As the situation on the planet's surface was still very unknown, he had been worried about the situation of the only probe. If something happens, it will be difficult for them to have a second chance to explore the planet's surface.

"Atlas, what's going on with the planet's surface probe, and have there been any accidents?" As soon as the door opened, Zhou Xin immediately asked with concern.

"Everything is normal." The little girl replied, "Besides, the probe has already investigated a lot of places." As he spoke, a topographic map appeared on the screen.

This topographic map is much larger than the area surveyed by Zhou Xin's probe yesterday, and the large polluted area that Zhou Xin saw yesterday also appeared at the edge of the topographic map, and in the middle of the map, there was a large hilly area.

At this time, Atlas said: "Unfortunately, Brother Captain, the probes did not find a place similar to the industrial area, so they had to let them explore the nearby terrain first. ”

"Can't you find it along those pipes?" Zhou Xin asked curiously.

"They searched along the sewer pipes, but they went underground shortly after they left the shoreline."

Hearing Atlas's answer, Zhou Xin felt a little regretful in his heart. However, it doesn't matter to them whether they find any industrial zones or not, so Zhou Xin didn't say much about it. Just as he was about to learn about the investigation of the probe last night, others also came to the command module one after another.

"Just in time, I'm just about to see how the probe investigated last night." Zhou Xin said to the people who walked in one after another.

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, everyone immediately found a place and sat down as quickly as possible. Zhou Xin waited for a while, and then said to Atlas: "Okay, Atlas, let's see what the probe found last night." ”

After Zhou Xin asked this question, the little girl's brows on the screen furrowed, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said a piece of information that was not very good, "Brother Captain, the pollution in the nearby area seems to be far larger than what we saw yesterday." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xin's brows also furrowed, "How do you say this?" ”

"Brother Captain, come and see." As he spoke, Atlas casually zoomed in on an area of the screen, and suddenly, the screen was filled with a small mountain bag.

According to the information on the map, the elevation of this small mountain pack is about 400 meters, and the radius is only about one square kilometer. Strictly speaking, this is probably a small mound, with a few low shrubs growing sparsely on top of it. At first glance, these shrubs are growing crookedly, and many of the leaves and branches on them also look a little yellow, and they look very unenergetic. Other than that, these shrubs look no different from normal shrubs.

"Is there anything special about this place?" Zhou Xin asked strangely.

"Don't you think those plants look strange, brother captain?"

"It just looks a little yellow." Zhou Xin stared at the screen for a long time, and then said uncertainly, and then he said suspiciously, "Shouldn't this be normal?" It's probably autumn and winter time in this place. ”

Atlas shook his head, "The way these plants look now has nothing to do with the season, the way they are now, it's because the soil under them contains a lot of toxic substances. ”

"Industrial waste too?" Zhou Xin looked a little surprised.

"Except that the concentration will be lower than that of sewage, the composition is about the same." The little girl replied, "This place is a full hundred kilometers away from the coastline, but the toxic substances in the soil show little sign of abating. Moreover, upon examination by the probe, it seems that the plants growing on this soil have developed some degree of variation. Although they still can't use these toxic substances to sustain their lives, their tolerance to toxic substances has greatly exceeded that of ordinary plants, allowing them to survive in this environment, but the highly toxic environment still has a great impact on these plants, so that they can only barely survive in this state of rapid wilting. ”

After listening to Atlas's introduction, Zhou Xin became more and more surprised......
