Chapter 635: Desolate Land
Because this "planet spaceship" that was walking alone in the vast space was too weird, the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace did not rashly land on the surface of the planet, but first carefully circled over it a few times and had a general understanding of the current situation of the planet.
As seen at first glance, the planet is traveling under a series of massive engines, with a total of more than 160 mountain-like engine vents scattered across its surface, but only a quarter of them are in operation. Behind the planet is a trail of plasma flames thousands of kilometers long, making it look like a strange and huge comet in space, brilliant and spectacular. But with the exception of the huge, running engines, the rest of the planet was dead - no vegetation was visible on the surface, all the oceans were frozen, the land was covered with snow and ice that hadn't melted in years, ninety percent of the planet's surface was dark, and only some light could be seen around the giant engines, which was probably the light of the machines.
A word inexplicably flashed through Hao Ren's heart: the corpse of the trekking.
The planet is like a corpse wandering in space, dead, but the engines are still faithfully carrying out the orders to send the planet off into the distance.
"There are only trace life reactions on the surface of the planet, lower life, algae or some other single-celled organism," Hao Ren's thought was interrupted by the voice of the terminal, "No traces of large higher creatures have been foundโof course, it may be hidden underground." In addition, there is a layer of shield on the surface of the planet, which was built with the help of the geomagnetic field itself, which is probably the reason why it escaped the solar eruption more than 10,000 years ago. โ
"Is there anything threatening?" Vivien asked, turning her head.
A flash of light flickered on the surface of the terminal. It communicates with the ship's radar system: "...... Not yet discovered. โ
Hao Ren thought for a moment: "Elizabeth, you stay on the spaceship with the cat and the fish. Everyone else went down with me to see what was going on. Terminal, don't come along. You're in charge of controlling the spacecraft in orbit, and it's up to you to support the space in case we get into any accidents. โ
This is since the last time he encountered a crisis on Io Planet, Hao Ren has a long heart, he realizes that when he goes to explore a strange planet, leaving a support platform in space always plays a big role - if there was no space fire support at the terminal in Io at that time, I am afraid he would have been frozen in endless ice.
The number of jรน terminals suddenly felt that he was responsible for his heavy responsibility, and shook his body proudly: "It's all right, don't worry if you hand it over to this machine!" โ
Elizabeth flattened her mouth a little dissatisfied, she looked at the stupid cat who was squatting on the ground and dozing off and Doudou who was dozing on the stupid cat's head, and felt that her role was neglected: "I'm responsible for taking care of the children and cats for you?" I'm also wise and brave, okay! โ
Itzax flicked it on his daughter's head. Ejected the little girl four or five meters: "Listen to my uncle's words and stay on the spaceship." โ
Elizabeth ran back and said obediently, "Oh......"
Hao Ren was dumbfounded, although he knew that the demons with children were basically more rude than this, he still felt that it was a miracle that Elizabeth could live so big...... The little girl's life is so hard! Just now, Itzax could hear a sonic boom when his brain collapsed......
The spacecraft finds an open landing site at the equator of the wandering planet, hovers over it, and teleports directly to the planet's surface.
The surface of the planet was desolate, and when Hao Ren and the others walked out of the teleportation beam, they saw only a long snowfield, bare hills, and a pitch-black night sky. Some towering shadows can be seen faintly in the distance. It was the flame-out thruster vent, and behind the shadows there was some sky-high light, the plasma flames erupting from the working thrusters beyond: they were the only sight to behold on the planet.
It was very quiet, and all you could hear was a strange, low roar coming from far, far away. And so faint that it's almost impossible to tell. The sound was supposed to come from a giant engine in the distance, but the atmosphere was so thin that it barely traveled. With the senses of the supermen around Hao Ren, they could only hear a little vaguely. In fact, the atmosphere of this planet is still there, but due to ultra-low temperatures. Most of the gas had frozen on the planet's surface, and Hao Ren was stepping on solid debris of carbon dioxide, ice chips, and many other gases.
The spaceship scanned the environment below before landing. So except for the two special guys, Hao Ren and Yitzax, everyone else wears a life support collar. Lily stomped her foot on the ground, raising a cloud of gray-white ice dust, "It doesn't look like anyone has been here." โ
Nangong May looked at the dark and dreary earth in the distance, the worry on her face was difficult to hide, and Nangong Sanba next to her also pinched her chin and frowned. Vivien glanced at them, knowing that the two of them were in a state of distraction, and it was easy to think things in an overly pessimistic direction, so she reminded them loudly: "Can the Kraken and the Demon Hunter survive in this environment?" How long can it survive? โ
Only then did May realize that her parents also had a chance of surviving on this planet, and she carefully took off her life support collar to experience it, frowning slightly: "Very ...... Uncomfortable, but not fatal. As long as I can find an environment where the liquid water is stored, I can survive for a long time, relying on heat and the elemental power of the water to sustain my life. And this planet has a layer of magnetic shield, so there is no need to worry about radiation from space...... At least the mother can survive in this environment. โ
"A hundred years?" Lily asked.
May frowned: "...... Theoretically, a kraken can live as long as it has water, but here...... Perhaps the mother will choose to periodically freeze herself so that she can carry a hundred years of space journey, at most losing some memory and strength. The Kraken is like water, and we can also let ourselves change between the three states like water, and sometimes when we encounter extreme environments, the Kraken can survive through the change of the three states. โ
Lily was suddenly amazed by the ability of the Siren, she thought of the scene of Nangong May melting and evaporating according to the season, and suddenly felt that the picture was simply magical and unwatchable, like a horror movie.
Nangong Sanba also touched his chin and thought for a while: "My dad is not a very strong demon hunter, so it will be a little difficult to survive on this planet, but with my mother's help, it may last for more than a hundred years." The Witcher has a lot of skills to keep you alive in extreme conditions. โ
"Anyway, if they make it to this planet alive, they're going in that directionโ" Itzax raised his finger and pointed into the distance, and in the direction of his finger, several huge fires rose beyond the horizon, "Thrusters." It's the only warm place on the planet, and if you're looking for liquid water, you have to go there. โ
Hao Ren immediately took out his official car from the carry-on space: "Everyone get in the car, let's go to the propeller." โ
The little Big Dipper galloped quickly on the endless ice field of this wandering planet, rolling up large and eye-catching clouds of ice and snow all the way, and from a distance, it looked like leading a group of white monsters to gallop on the ground. Hao Ren didn't teleport directly or fly to the metal mountain range, so that he could observe his surroundings on the way - he was very interested in the planet.
Most of the scenery on the road was very monotonous, with only the endless white and gray wilderness, but something strange began to emerge when you got close to the giant thrusters. Large, dark, dark pipes and steel supports bulged out of the snow as if they had grown from the depths of the earth, like vines clustering around the fruit, and like thousands of roots supporting the thrusters. The scale of these pipes and supports is staggering, and the appearance of the bulge from the ground is even reminiscent of the roots of the firstborn, and they spread dark and gloomy across the earth, looking strange and cold in the starlight.
As the car drove silently under a massive steel support, Lily poked her head out of the window and watched in amazement as the oppressive black shadows flew overhead, and as a literary young woman, she suddenly became sentimental.
These things are still in operation โ but what about their creators? (To be continued......)
