Chapter 540: Aliens Under the Sea (1)
Indigenous philosophers and humans have very different eye structures, and they are able to receive a wider spectrum of light, from infrared to ultraviolet. www.biquge.info As a result, their vision is more colorful and complex than that of humans, as is documented in the New Eden Tours, which are dedicated to collecting information on Planet 57.
But the fact that they were able to see the warship in space through the clouds on the ground surprised Nobukazu Matsushita. What surprised him even more was the information that the indigenous philosopher broke in the next discourse, the kind of person who can come down from the air in an iron box should definitely not be the natives of the planet, and even there should be a secret base of aliens on this planet, and more importantly, the time that the indigenous philosopher said, hundreds of years!
Even if Planet 57 had an orbital period of two or three times that of Earth, it would only be less than a thousand years. Even if those aliens are gone, some ruins should be left, but how to explain the fact that there are no warships in space to be found? You must know that the battleship in the high-altitude orbit is the latest willow leaf battleship, and the scanning radius in space is calculated in light years, and it can't even collect the information of a planet completely, which is too much to say.
After returning to his residence, the cautious Matsushita Nobuwa thought for a long time, but the vigilance of the soldier still allowed him to pass on the information he had collected to the command center. These are the things that Indigenous philosophers occasionally revealed, and the intelligence work of the New Eden Tours is mainly aimed at commercial operations, and this kind of thing cannot be found even if they want to investigate.
Matsushita Nobukazu's message quickly attracted the attention of the command center, and the same information was transmitted to Li Feng, who was in the synchronous orbit of Planet 57, in the shortest possible time, and at the same time transferred to Chen Peilin, who was continuing to carry out the work with his family.
Soon, the scanning of Planet 57 began again, especially the scanning of the ocean. Chen Peilin's satellite system in synchronous orbit conducted the most thorough submarine topography scan of Planet 57, but the result was nothing, and even Li Feng once doubted the accuracy of the information obtained by Matsushita Shinwa.
Philosophy, especially classical philosophy, is often not materialistic, and there are even many philosophers' presiding conjectures and inferences. Therefore, after confirming that there were no so-called iron boxes and aliens on Planet 57, Li Feng simply sent a report to Chen Peilin, and then classified this information as an anecdote and put it in the fleet's public database.
However, Chen Peilin's family is full of interest in the information of aliens under the sea, especially when the family is tired of traveling by land for half a month and is about to go around the sea. After inquiring with Nobukazu Matsushita about the approximate coordinates of the appearance of the iron box and making some preparations, Chen Peilin's family boarded the deep-diving ship dedicated to underwater tourism amid the cheers of Nina and the children.
The dive boat came from the New Eden tour group, and Chen Peilin rented it for two weeks at the price of 170,000 contribution points. This small deep-diving boat with a length of 253 meters, a width of 53 meters, and a height of 13.7 meters is made of transparent alloy, so that if you look out from the inside of the boat, you can see everything in the sea, but the light inside the boat will not leak out. Moreover, the special imaging system can make the people in the ship able to see normally in the dark deep sea, and even in special cases, they can illuminate the seabed with the help of external light sources.
The density and strength of transparent alloys are so high that if the anti-gravity engine that keeps the ship suspended is reduced, the boat will sink like a solid piece of iron. The light dimmed rapidly, and the depth of the dive boat became deeper and deeper, until there was no longer any visible light to be seen from the outside world, and the dive ship had dropped below 2,500 meters.
It is close to the edge of the abyssal continental shelf, where moving continental plates squeeze against each other to form a continental shelf resembling a mountain range, away from the continental shelf there is eternal darkness, where the terrain falls straight down like a cliff, more like a huge submarine trench than a mountain range.
The dive ship moved slightly to the top of the deep trench, and an artificial sun was launched from the bottom of the deep dive vessel, first sinking the dive ship into the depths of the bottomless trench. With the appearance of visible light, the scene on the cliff wall of the trench began to appear in front of Chen Peilin's eyes.
Large sea creatures have rarely appeared here, and occasionally encounter some, it is a large lizard with four legs and a long neck, which looks a little similar to the freshwater fish that Chen Peilin caught before, but there are also many differences, such as their mouths are very wide, with fleshy whiskers like sea snakes on both sides, and a rough sphere with a diameter of more than fifty centimeters at the top of the head, which is connected to the forehead by a tentacle more than one meter long.
It's a carnivorous underwater beast with a ball on its head that glows like a neon sign on the pitch-black ocean floor. This kind of light is a bit like a fish on the bottom of the sea, Chen Peilin has encountered it before, it is a very beautiful fish, the whole body is flat, the size is similar to the big yellow croaker, and this colorful light will also flash on the body, many carnivorous fish rely on this light source to hunt.
This underwater beast relies on the ball on its head to simulate the characteristics of a light fish, attracting prey to rush over, and then swallowing it in one bite with its wide mouth. Of course, this kind of hunting is not always successful, and its natural enemies have evolved different skills according to the predatory characteristics of this fierce beast. Chen Peilin has seen its natural enemies prey on this fierce beast.
It was a much larger fish, but it would bend its body close to its prey, stretch out its body with all its might the moment the prey opened its mouth and lower its mouth, and the hard shell that evolved smashed the beast's head like a high-speed bombardment sledgehammer, and then began to enjoy the food.
The cliffs on both sides are covered with white plants that look like mushrooms, but they stretch out wide, forming a dense deep-sea forest on the cliff faces. These plants survive by capturing the organic matter that settles in the upper layers of the seawater and the dead remains of marine fish. Among these plants, there are also some deep-sea creatures that constantly glow and shuttle through them, forming a simple ecosphere.
The artificial sun reached the end, smashing a shallow bunker into the soft white sand bed of the seabed. The locator of the deep-diving ship shows the depth at this time, 8,500 meters, close to 10,000 meters deep, but there is no trace of aliens except for some simple white forests and rare glowing fish, and there is no so-called undersea city, which makes Chen Peilin believe Li Feng's judgment.
The little ones' interests came and went quickly, Yana and Siya had already fallen asleep in their respective mothers' arms, but Chen Nini still followed Chen Peilin with a little tail like a queen, looking at the white forest outside with interest, and showing a thoughtful expression from time to time.
"It's so boring, Chen, let's float, the bottom is either black or white, it's not as good as the top, let's continue to go up to see how the fish are, the kind of big fish, there are hundreds of thousands of fish in a group, let's catch a few and make grilled fish steaks to eat" Nina also seemed to be lacking in interest, and began to pull Chen Peilin's arm to be coquettish, but this was understood by Chen Peilin as the other party just felt too bored and wanted to find something to do.
"Yes, how about we camouflage the deep-diving ship and put a light source in front of it like that kind of fierce beast to fish" Chen Peilin thought about it and finally found something to catch everyone's attention. The results quickly drew the approval of Natalie and Nina. A 30-meter-long metal rod is rapidly shaped as the nanobot grows, and there is a glittering artificial light source at the tip, but the light emits is not as bright as the artificial sun, but it is brighter than that of deep-sea fish.
The dive ship sailed out of the bottomed trench towards the periphery, and soon, deeper faults appeared, and there was no longer any white forest to grow, the space became empty, and the number of creatures plummeted. The bottom of the sea is very quiet, and even the water temperature drops below freezing, but there is no freezing due to the high salinity here.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a large mouth of blood suddenly appeared, and Shunjiang swallowed the light source in front of the deep diving ship. But the next moment, the reckless guy tasted the bitter fruit, the alloy rod generated by the nanobot was very hard, and the amplitude of the opponent's impact was so great that the alloy rod directly pierced the opponent's head.
"Boom, boom!" After a brief but violent struggle, the hideous beast of the sea rolled its belly and stopped moving. The dive boat stepped back slightly, the alloy rod was pulled out of the opponent's head, and the ugly creature flipped and sank into the deep sea, a large amount of tan bodily fluids spreading out of the wound, quickly attracting predators from all over the world to join the bloodthirsty feast.
"Look at that fish!" Suddenly, Ni Ni stretched out her little finger and pointed at the devouring fish. Soon, the semi-intelligent assistant program of the deep-diving ship captured the three-dimensional image of the other party and presented it in front of Chen Peilin's eyes. It was a very strange fish, and Chen Peilin had a strong sense of disobedience at the first sight. The whole body of the fish resembles a transparent cylinder, and at one end of the cylinder grows a squid-like pointed head. It's not a big deal, but it's strange that there is a head at the other end of the barrel, and that the two heads are different in size, color, or shape.
Even more interestingly, the fish was eating with three hands suddenly stretched out of the barrel, two holding metal harpoons with barbs and a pointed alloy blade in the third. Fish that can use tools?? Or metal tools?? This is the bottom of the sea, ordinary metal can rust, what is the matter with those snow-white knives and forks??? (To be continued.) )
