Chapter 6: Dinosaur Planet

"They found something unusual in their location. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Voyager reported.

"Oh? What are they? How did you find so many things at the same time? Zhou Xin asked suspiciously.

"Mostly anomalies on the planet." Voyager replied, "There are also probes who have reported discovering life on this planet. ”

"Life?" Zhou Xin looked at the screen and found that those pterosaurs had long disappeared without a trace, and he continued, "Let's take a look at the news sent back by the probe." ”

"It's a bit of a lot of news this time." The Voyager reminded, "Do you need to release them all?" ”

"Don't look at the anomaly for now, and give priority to releasing the discovered lifeforms." Zhou Xin added.

The cliffs on the screen disappear, and a forest appears. "This is another probe that has landed in the forest, and the plants here are mainly poplar trees, with a small amount of birch trees interspersed. ”

Zhou Xin asked, "When did these plants first appear on the earth?" ”

"Late Cretaceous." Voyager replied.

Zhou Xin nodded and motioned for the Voyager to continue.

In the following period of time, Zhou Xin and they saw a series of plants, including: willows, maples, pines, cycads, ginkgo biloba, etc., in addition to these tall trees, under the reminder of the Voyager, small plants such as ferns and fungi also appeared frequently on the screen, according to the introduction of the Voyager, the appearance time of these plants was basically throughout the Cretaceous period.

After quietly looking at the plants for more than an hour, Zhou Xin opened his mouth and asked, "Is it just plants?" Are there no animals? It can't be. ”

"Yes." The Voyager replied, "The ship has sorted the messages sent back by the probe, and the ones that have just been broadcast are all the plants on this planet, and if you want to see it, the ship will play the news related to animals next." ”

Zhou Xin thought for a moment, "Let's finish the plant part first, but speed up a little." ”

In the next hour, Zhou Xin and the others patiently read the information about the plant part sent back by the probe, and under the introduction of the Voyager, Zhou Xin and they learned that most of the plants on this planet are very similar to the plants that existed in the Cretaceous period on the earth, and some can even go back to the Jurassic era.

After reading the part of the plant, Zhou Xin and the others looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything, but asked the Voyager to continue to play the information sent back by the probe.

A prairie appeared on the screen, but at first Zhou Xin they didn't see anything, as the detector moved, a group of large creatures suddenly appeared in the distance, after discovering these figures, the detector began to move straight towards them, due to the flat terrain, the detector moved very fast, and after a while, the detector arrived near the group of figures. When he first saw the group of figures, Zhou Xin felt a little familiar, and when the figure appeared clearly in front of the camera, Zhou Xin finally recognized the creature.

"Brontosaurus?!" Zhou Xin exclaimed, but after a while, he said with relief, "Although I thought that I might see other dinosaurs when I first saw the pterodactyl, but when I saw this guy, I was still startled." ”

At this time, Voyager introduced: "After comparison, the creature is more than 95% similar to the Bewildered Dragon (commonly known as Brontosaurus), which was present in large numbers during the Jurassic era of the Earth. ”

"Is it a Jurassic dinosaur this time?" Zhou Xin muttered to himself, but he didn't say anything, but motioned for the Voyager to continue.

Then the picture on the screen dimmed slightly, and turned light blue, Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, and then he realized that this detector was in the sea. At first, they only saw a piece of blue water, but it didn't take long for a huge aquatic creature to swim in from outside the screen, because the detector's lens was too small, so only a part of the creature's body appeared on the camera, so the detector began to retreat, and as the detector retreated, the creature gradually revealed its true face.

Its body is in the shape of a long barrel, similar in appearance to a shark, but it is obviously larger than a shark, it has a large mouth, a strong tail, the length of the tail reaches half the length of its body, it is a wide vertical paddle, in the picture the creature tail swings slowly, very comfortable swimming slowly in the water.

Zhou Xin didn't recognize the creature in front of him, he asked curiously, "What kind of creature is this?" Why does it look so much like a shark, has this big guy been seen on Earth before? ”

Voyager replied, "According to its appearance, the creature bears more than 98% resemblance to the previous Cyanosaurus on Earth, which lived mainly in the Cretaceous period. ”

"Canglong?" Ralph was surprised, "This guy is too big, I've never seen a creature this big." ”

"It's more than 20 meters long." Voyager replied.

When Ralph tried to say something excitedly again, Spred stopped her, "Don't be surprised, we just saw a few strange creatures, and there is still a lot to do, don't interrupt us." ”

"Ohβ€”" Ralph whispered, shrinking back.

So the Voyager then played the next message, and what appeared on the screen was recognized by Zhou Xin at a glance.

"Tyrannosaurus rex?!" Zhou Xin shouted.

"More than 97% similarity to Tyrannosaurus rex." The Voyager gave the exact answer.

Zhou Xin saw that the Tyrannosaurus rex in front of him was eating, and it stepped on the animal's corpse with one hind leg, and its mouth was biting on the corpse. After nibbling on it for a while, it appears to notice the presence of the probe, and it looks up in the direction of the probe. After a while, however, it didn't seem to notice anything, so it lowered its head and continued to eat.

Looking at the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the screen in front of him, Zhou Xin didn't want to say anything, so he motioned for the Voyager to continue. In the following video, Zhou Xin and the others saw many typical animals that appeared in the Cretaceous period, and even several animals that lived in the Jurassic.

It took them about half a day to watch all the videos, and by the time the Voyager reminded Zhou that the videos had all been played, it was already close to late at night on the ship. However, after seeing so many familiar creatures appear on this planet, Zhou Xin was not sleepy at all, he thought for a while, and then said to everyone: "It seems that at least one thing I guessed correctly, the environment of this planet is indeed similar to the ancient times of our home planet. At least all of the creatures we've seen have appeared on our planet at one time or another, but with a slight difference, they don't appear in the same era, but as a mixture of two or three eras. ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Spred thought for a while, and then said, "If, as you said, this planet is similar to the ancient times of your home planet, then is it really a coincidence?" As I said earlier, I really don't believe in this situation where the whole planet is similar. You know, only if there are some slight changes between planets, the evolution of living things will develop in a completely different direction. ”

"But we haven't found any traces of civilization on this planet." Zhou Xin retorted, "If this planet is related to other civilizations, how can there be no special civilization creations found on the entire planet?" It can't be that there is no trace of civilization on the whole planet. ”

"But I still think it's unlikely to be a coincidence." Spred continued, "In terms of time, these creatures first appeared on your home planet, and then tens of millions of years later, these creatures reappeared on this planet, and I always felt that there was a connection between the two. You say, could it be that the civilization of your planet moved these ancient creatures here? ”

"It can't be." Zhou Xin said with certainty, "Only our advanced civilization has evolved on our home planet, and other creatures have very limited intelligence, and they can't even come out of the planet, so how can they run here." But listening to you, I kind of believe that this planet has some connection to our home planet. ”

"Are you sure?" Spred said, "Could it be a civilization that you don't even know?" ”

"This-" Zhou Xin hesitated a little, "probably not, although there are some strange legends in our civilization, but they are just legends, and the credibility is not high." ”

"But I always felt that this planet shouldn't be that simple." Spred said in an uncertain tone.

"Perhaps." Zhou Xin didn't take Spred's words too seriously, "Anyway, the probe is still continuing to investigate this planet, and if there is any abnormal discovery, someone will always notify me." ”

"Okay." There was a hint of concern in Spred's voice, "I hope I can find something." ”

At this time, Ralph, who had been holding back for a long time next to him, spoke, "Now that the business is over, let's talk about something fun, this planet is so fun, let's go down and have fun." ”

"Nope." Zhou Xin directly rejected Ralph's request, we have only been on this planet for a few days, and we don't know much about this planet, so it will be dangerous to go down rashly.

"But I've been on the ship for almost a year, and I'm bored to death, I want to go down and have a look." Ralph said coquettishly.

Seeing that the surrounding researchers also had the intention of being moved, Zhou Xin looked at Spred helplessly, then thought for a while and said, "I still don't agree with you going down now." Seeing Ralph's disappointed expression, Zhou Xin continued, "But sooner or later, we have to go down, our planet base can be built by robots first, and you can go down directly after you know more about this planet." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Ralph finally became happy. Then, Zhou Xin ordered Voyager to launch more probes to investigate the planet in detail, and the busy day was over.

In the next few days, the probes that were launched to this planet sent back some new discoveries one after another, and after ruling out some strange natural phenomena, Zhou Xin and they still found a lot of new creatures that were not found in the previous investigation, but without exception, these creatures have all appeared on the earth, mainly Cretaceous creatures, and the rest are Jurassic creatures.

On this day, after Zhou Xin finished reading the report sent back by the probe in the command module, he stood up and said to Spred beside him in a strange tone: "After so many days of investigation by the probe, I can confirm that this is a dinosaur planet. Although these creatures have all appeared on our home planet before, I still feel a little strange to see them in front of me. ”

"It's actually quite normal." Spred thought for a moment and said, "It's like your ancestor suddenly appeared in front of you, this kind of scene is strange to think about. ”

"Although I find your analogy a bit strange." Zhou Xin said in a strange tone, "But I have to say that what you said is still very reasonable." ”

"Haha." Spred scratched his head, "I can't think of a better metaphor for a while." ”

"......" Zhou Xin was helpless, and then he pointed to a report and said, "Have you noticed that the new discoveries reported by the probe in the past two days have begun to decrease, does this mean that our exploration of this planet is almost over?" ”

Before Spred could speak, Ralph next to him rushed to say, "Is that so?" Did you say that we could go down and investigate in two days? ”

In the past two days, Ralph has often urged Zhou Xin to go to this planet to play, Zhou Xin has become accustomed to it, he looked at Ralph helplessly, "It should be like this." He reassured, but after a while, as if he remembered something, he turned to Spred and asked, "But if you go straight ahead like this, can you adapt to the gravity of this planet?" ”

"Gravity?" Spred patted his head, a look of sudden realization, "yes, I seem to have ignored the problem of gravity on this planet. ”

Seeing that Ralph was still beside her excitedly thinking about what to do on the surface of the planet, Spred patted her on the shoulder and brought her back to her senses, and then said regretfully, "I'm afraid your wish to go to the surface of this planet will not come true." ”

"Huh? Ahh Ralph was stunned for a moment before she fully understood Spred's words, and she said in an aggrieved voice, "Why can't I go down?" ”

"We almost ignored gravity." There was a hint of fear in Spred's voice, "The gravity of this planet is ten times that of our planet, if we go down directly, we won't be able to stand up, and if it's heavy, our bodies will be flattened by huge gravity." Then he looked at Zhou Xin with a grateful gaze, "It's good that you have been keenly aware of this problem, captain, otherwiseβ€”" He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhou Xin scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's just a flash of inspiration, don't thank me for a while." ”

"Thank you, or my daughterβ€”" Spred looked at Ralph worriedly, "she will definitely be the first to go down, and the consequences will be unimaginable." He said to Ralph, "Thank you, Captain, yet.

After listening to the conversation between Zhou Xin and Sprede, Ralph's aggrieved mood disappeared at once, and she whispered to Zhou Xin with a scared look, "Thank you, Uncle Captain, ......"
