The creatures are extinct in the dim wasteland, and the dark blue light is layered and intertwined.

"The radiation index of high-energy particles continues to rise, but it still does not reach the environmental level that is absolutely lethal for ordinary organisms."

The slender natural stone arch at the edge of the nuclear continent completely showed its natural form, and the top of the rock was uneven, and the height difference could even reach as much as two meters in some places, but in the end, Xinglan still managed to cross this precipitous area and completely stand on the main body of the nuclear continent.

Even if it is only a glimpse of the corner of the continent, it is still enough to make people feel the completely different temperament and atmosphere contained in this strange continent.

The nuclear continent originally did not exist, but when the Yanghai Space Gate briefly connected the depths of the sea with the core of the star, the huge explosion caused directly shook the crustal structure of Lanxing, and even completely changed the movement of the continental plate, which made this land gradually rise from the bottom of the ocean, break through the sea level, and eventually grow into a new continent...... Even today, it continues to grow in size.

One can imagine how intense the geological activity of such a continent that appeared in the tremor of the great earthquake and continued to grow must have been so intense that Xinglan could suddenly see the traces of the landform shaped by countless volcanic activities on this land.

At first glance, it is clear that the marginal area is not too steep, but a vast expanse of plain with a few small mounds scattered at best, but even then it is clear that it is different from the coastline of other continents.

Cool air currents permeated the entire land, and a faint halo of light cast by the sky shrouded in pale gray dust all year round, barely maintaining the remaining temperature. After being blocked by radioactive fallout and volcanic ash, the sunlight reaching the ground is so weak that the whole world seems to be shrouded in the shadow of some kind of behemoth, and even if it is still autumn, it is as cold as winter on other continents.

There was no sign of any trees on the ground, and even though there was a large area of soft soil, only a few weeds could still be found on the ground nearby. Although the radiation in the air has not yet reached lethal levels, the weak light is very detrimental to the photosynthesis of plants, not to mention the fact that the soil here seems to be very fertile, but in fact it is afraid that it is ......

Xinglan narrowed her eyes, gently bent down and picked up a wisp of dust from the ground, and the signal penetrated into it little by little, and quickly came to a conclusion: "This is...... Heavily silicate soil, and it contains a lot of heavy metals. ”

With only scattered weeds above the vast land, and no birds in the gray sky, it was a world that was almost completely silent...... It hadn't even reached the lethal zone of nuclear radiation, and the environment was already like this, and Xinglan really began to wonder: could there be life in such a place?

Turning around, Xinglan looked back at the magnificent ocean, the roar of the waves was heard continuously, and the distant sky could faintly hear the thunder, as if she could still see the violent scene of the storm raging in the distance.

"It's time to go." After comprehensively checking the equipment on his body, Xing Lan sighed softly, facing the continent again, no longer looking back, but resolutely taking the steps to go deep into the earth, "Lan Xing, Lan Xing......"

……

Twenty kilometers, Xinglan walked a full twenty kilometers, except for the density of weeds getting smaller and smaller, the same scene continued to continue, and finally, a trace of strange color finally appeared in this cookie-cutter scene.

On the gray earth, a deep blue spot appeared.

It was not a vivid sky blue, but a blue as deep as the sea, even close to blue-black. It suddenly appeared in the gray earth ahead, forming a small area with different tones, looking like a small oasis in the middle of the desert.

After discovering this dark blue spot, Xinglan's first reaction was that this should be a land with a different color, perhaps it contained some special minerals that caused the entire open-pit mine to take on this unique color, but as she got closer, she soon realized that something was wrong.

The deep blue hue is not the color of the earth, but more like something covering the earth, but it is too dense to obscure the color of the land itself, and the whole area is very reflective, which means that there are many smooth areas on its surface, if it is a natural mineral, it will not appear so smooth.

Eventually, when Xinglan actually came to the side of this area, she saw what it was like.

These are the platforms...... Yes, a large number of dark blue circular platforms with a diameter of more than a meter are scattered across the land, and they are not attached to the ground, but are held by inclined support poles at a height of tens of centimeters above the ground.

The blackened poles that looked like basalt were not very thick, in fact they were thin, but they were unusually stable, holding the wide platform firmly in place. The pole is tilted, as is the platform perpendicular to it, but tilting does not mean shaking, but rather not moving even if the wind blows.

This dark blue speckled area resembles a lotus pond on land, except that the lotus leaves are dark blue and extraordinarily wide, and all the lotus leaves are as if they were a still photograph.

"These ...... What is it? Xinglan looked at this dark blue area with some blankness, those platforms were spread out layer by layer, but they did not interfere with each other, but as if they had been carefully planned by a designer, showing perfect mutual non-interference, "This exquisite form planning will definitely not be an accidental product of nature, so these are actually the creations of civilization?" ”

The perennial wind blows the ground, which has caused the ground to be quite weathered, accumulating thick soil, and when Xinglan stepped on the ground, he even left clearly visible footprints along the way, but these footprints will not last long before they will be wiped out by the wind again.

Most of the platforms were knee-high as Starland, and she slowly bent down and cautiously reached out to touch the dark blue surface of the platform.

The cold touch felt as if it was as unforgiving as the air of the nuclear continent, and when Xinglan gently pinched the platform, she frowned even more, it was very strong, it was a metallic hard touch.

It's no wonder that these platforms are able to stay motionless in strong winds, and the materials that make them up are so hard that they don't feel stressful even in the face of bad weather.

It's weird, though...... Xinglan stood up and looked around, and the blue platform appeared so abruptly on the vast land that one could not believe that it could be the work of some intelligent being. In an environment like a nuclear continent, where is it difficult to find even signs of life, where did the civilization come from?

So...... What is it?

The signal bolt gently swirled in the air, manipulated close to the surface of the platform, skimmed the dark blue surface, penetrated through the atomic crevices and penetrated inside, and the main components of its surface were soon discovered by a more effective detection method than an electron microscope.

"These elements are silicon, silicon of high purity." Xinglan closed her eyes and quickly simulated a huge and complex dynamic system in the signal sub-network, under a thin layer of film-like material, the monocrystalline silicon was densely arranged together, and some complex atomic clusters of different species were free, "This thing is...... It's actually a kind of solar panel! ”

That's right, these wide, dark blue platforms are actually large solar panels, and the constant collision of photons stimulates it to continuously generate tiny pulses of electric current, and the purity of the silicon on its surface is very high...... It is so high that even ordinary industrial equipment cannot produce silicon of this purity.

This is atomic-level assembly technology, under normal circumstances, even if it has the ability to manufacture devices of this level, it is absolutely limited to laboratory products, and the high cost that cannot be reached at all is destined to have no value for mass production, but there is a thing that has always been good at atomic-level assembly, and there is no need to consider the cost at all, and the complex atomic cluster stacking is easy, and even almost impossible to go wrong, this is the ......

"Organism ......" Xing Lan watched those faint currents being guided by tiny circuits at the atomic level to converge downward, promoting different chemical reactions under the control of a series of polymer clusters, and then watching a series of tiny molecule-level carriers carrying individual silicon atoms, constantly assembling to the edge of the platform, expanding the range invisibly, and couldn't help but gasp: "These things...... These platforms are not manufactured at all, but living plants! ”

The conversion efficiency of solar panels made of high-purity silicon is actually far higher than that of chloroplasts, but due to the huge gap in the cost performance of materials, it is worth reducing its existence value a lot, but in this dimly lit continent, conventional chloroplast photosynthesis is no longer enough to maintain lush vitality, and these strange plants have spontaneously evolved this way of using light energy more efficiently......

"The natural silicate soil here is an excellent place for them to extract materials......" Xinglan bit her lip and watched the platforms flicker and reflect in the faint light, "Although the genetic material inside this creature is still the structure of carbon-based organisms, part of the external body structure has already crossed into the category of silicon-based organisms, and this silicon-based structure effectively blocks the radiation of high-energy particles in the air, which greatly reduces the probability of internal genes being destroyed." ”

"Nuclear Continent, Nuclear Continent, you really gave me such a big surprise as soon as you came...... A unique plant system can also give birth to a completely different world. His eyes swept over this small blue platform area, and in Xinglan's eyes, everything here already seemed completely different from just now, "A new way to use light energy...... Let's call it Guangping. ”

Fingers lightly pressed on the surface of the light flat, but it was completely unable to shake its body, and Xinglan couldn't help but marvel at this structure that was completely different from ordinary plants, not flexible, but completely relying on a rigid shell to stand on this land......

Suddenly, a hazy shadow seemed to pass through the corner of her eye, and Xinglan was startled, and took a few steps back until she withdrew from the Guangping area, scanning every corner in front of her.

"That's ...... What is it? ”
