Chapter 62: The ...... Bathing in a Hot Lake
The golden sky is full of sun, and the hot lake is full of life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the golden sky, two suns of different sizes, one red and one blue, release bright brilliance, so that the place is always maintained in a high temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius.
Xinglan raised her head, narrowed her eyes, and bent her fingers into a circle, facing the blue sun: "It's very dazzling~"
Lowering her hand, Xinglan continued to walk slowly on the solid rocky ground, her white protective boots crunching on the somewhat damp ground, and the soles of the boots were stained with corrosive liquid.
The black Explorer was moored to the rocks behind it, and the atmosphere here was filled with acidic gases, but although the black special alloy on the exterior of the ship was not good-looking, it was actually not afraid of these small injuries.
"The rocks here ......" Xinglan bent down to pick up a small piece of rubble and threw it into the mineral identification device he carried with him, and then a large amount of analysis data was sent directly to the data center inside the body, "Most of the ingredients are ferric oxide...... No way? Could it be that the magnetic ring island is really a whole piece of natural magnet? ”
Slightly surprised, but Xing Lan thought about it, yes, there are even golden planets in the universe, and the existence of magnet planets is indeed nothing strange.
Xinglan looked up at the sky, there was a thick cloud of sulfuric acid floating in the golden sky, sprinkling a trace of sulfuric acid droplets in the environment of hundreds of degrees: "Sulfuric acid rain, the weather is really bad." After a few days here, even the iron will be completely corroded. ”
It was drizzling, but it wasn't pleasant.
Ahead, is a lake, a lake that ripples in hundreds of degrees of heat...... This obviously can't be a lake made of water.
"Why do I feel that this place is less and less like a civilized environment, but a naturally formed landscape?" Xinglan pulled up a strand of hair, and saw that after being stained with sulfuric acid droplets, the silver hair was no longer so smooth and shiny, but there were some potholes, and she couldn't help frowning, "Can't even the material of the hair bear it?" What a troublesome environment. ”
After walking some distance, we approached the edge of the lake, where instead of hard rocks, soft soil began to appear.
Bending down slightly, Xinglan took a sample of the lake water and made the same identification: "This is ...... Liquid sulfur fluoride? ”
The liquid here is almost entirely sulfur fluoride!
Xinglan carefully stepped on the lake with her protective boots, and a strong and strange smell wafted across the lake, which didn't look like a place where life lived.
If intelligent beings want to build a space building, they may choose to build it at the Lagrange point, or they may create a strong magnetic field to protect the planet, but ...... It doesn't make the environment like this, right?
Frowning, Xinglan began to lose confidence in her previous speculation, and she felt that maybe there was nothing of value here.
There are no traces of any architecture, no traces of life, and the environment is a mess...... Sure enough, you should go back, right? Xinglan was about to turn around and go back when she suddenly heard a strange sound!
It's the sound of something falling into the water.
The girl suddenly stopped, turned her body to look at the lake in confusion, the loud sound of water just now was definitely not caused by raindrops, and the large ripples that were spreading on the surface of the lake also confirmed this.
Looks like I've encountered something interesting again. Xinglan didn't look away, but stared intently at the water.
After a long time, it seemed that there should be no danger, and a trace of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake composed of sulfur fluoride, and a small furry head actually poked out from it.
Creature! It turned out to be a creature!
Xinglan was almost about to exclaim, she stayed where she was, not daring to move, for fear of alarming the little guy. The little pointed head spotted Xinglan standing by the lake in an instant, opened its mouth, but did not make a sound, and stepped back vigilantly.
"Okay." With a sad scream, Xing Lan silently covered her face, "I should have known that there are only a very small number of bear children like the little whale...... Be patient, well, be patient. ”
It's not like an intelligent being, but it's not a completely dead place, and more importantly, it's ...... It's an alien creature!
yes, it's not Lan Xing here, isn't it a real alien creature that you see?
"It's ...... Birds? It's weird. Xinglan frowned and looked at the little creature. It is about a meter long and covered with yellowish-white feathers, which stick to the surface of its body wetly, and are not supposed to be the feathers used for diving like penguins, but more like the feathers used to fly. The sides of the small body appear to have wing-like organs, fluttering up and down. The upper and lower surfaces of its body are covered with a transparent membrane, which is a membrane that cannot prevent the flow of water from passing through, and its effect is not visible for the time being.
It soaked in the water of a sulfur fluoride lake at hundreds of degrees Celsius, spreading its pointed beak and seemingly screaming without making a sound.
"What's that?" Xinglan suddenly found that there was a dense row of spike-like things in the open beak of the bird-like creature, which shimmered with a metallic luster, and the powerful logical deduction ability quickly allowed Xinglan to search for the closest thing from the memory bank, but it was a little incredulous, "Wait, this can't be ...... Antenna? ”
"It looks like an antenna, and it has been calling ......" Xinglan seemed to think of something, and quickly turned on the robot's receiving channel, while carefully observing the bird's movements, "Sure enough, its call is not the sound waves generated by the vocal cords, but ...... Electromagnetic wave! ”
The way it communicates is electromagnetic waves!
Xinglan hurriedly began to record the information of the electromagnetic wave communication channel, but without deciphering this biological language at all, it was impossible to tell for a moment whether its cry was a complex logical language or a simple shout.
Through the same frequency, Xinglan tentatively sent some information to the bird in front of him, and the other party was stunned for a moment, as if he was puzzled that the creature in front of him could also make that kind of sound, but he still dived into the water vigilantly.
The moment she dived, Xinglan keenly noticed that the bird had three legs, and each foot had a small hole in the center of its claws.
"What's that for?" Xinglan blinked in confusion, she slowly moved her steps to the edge of the lake, leaning over to look at the turbid water, "It's really strange that creatures are soaked in a liquid with hundreds of degrees Celsius. ”
Ah~ Although Xinglan is very confident in the combination of the robot's body and protective clothing, she has no intention of rushing into this high-temperature sulfur fluoride lake of several hundred degrees Celsius to try her limit...... You don't have to think about it, it's going to be terrible.
However, thinking that this lake was not large in size and there was no circulating waterway, Xinglan did not plan to turn around and leave, but stood quietly by the lake and waited.
The girl bent down, picked up a small stone on the shore and threw it forward with all her might, watching as the small stone fell into the water after jumping on the surface of the water several times in a row, and let out a grunt.
Half an hour later, a small head bubbled up quickly again on the surface of the water. The small, silvery-white, metallic octagonal eyes glanced this way, then quickly sank into the water.
Xinglan: "......"
Damn it! It's so faceless!
Xinglan, who was huffing and whistling, lost her patience a little, she didn't think much about it, and directly facing the lake was a series of meaningless electromagnetic wave signals, which seemed to be nothing, but for the birds in the lake, it was like someone was shouting and screaming in her ears...... It's still the kind of super large decibels.
The surface of the lake shook violently, and the bird surfaced, fluttering wildly, trying to escape the noises that made it feel particularly restless...... Or rather, electromagnetic interference.
"Hmph~ Can't hide yet?" Xinglan smiled slyly, stopped the noise pollution, and watched the bird spin back and forth on the lake in a daze, the noise that had thrown its brain into a brief confusion.
As if to understand that the blue-haired guy on the shore with a weird smile was the culprit, the bird flapped its wings violently after emitting a series of ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic waves......
Although he is only about one meter long, he has huge yellow-white wings with a wingspan of nearly five meters spread out in the lake. The acidic raindrops that fell from the sky could not damage these seemingly delicate feathers, and they slid down the gaps in the feathers and flowed into the lake.
"Ahh Xinglan took a few steps back, the body she was using now was only one meter two tall, and if she wanted to fight hand-to-hand, she really couldn't beat the bird in front of her, "It's a bit troublesome now......"
The bird opened its beak and raised its head to the sky to send out a huge electromagnetic wave pulse, and then flapped its wings with all its might, and it actually soared directly into the air in this hot lake!
“…… Trouble, we can't fly. Xinglan watched the bird fly into the air, and the three feet were retracted under her, "Do you want to chase?" But if there is no shuttle...... Go straight back to Discovery. ”
Having made up her mind, Xinglan was about to return to the Explorer, when suddenly, the little bird flapped its wings desperately, and there was even a faint light on the soles of its feet, but in the end it fell weakly and plunged into the lake......
Bang! Water splashes.
"......" Xinglan was stunned for a long time, and when she saw the little head coming out of the lake, she wailed pitifully, and suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "I see, the feathers haven't grown all, I'm wet, and I want to fly to a high place?" ”
Is it really a stupid person?
The little bird also seemed to realize his impatience, but because he was too young to fly, he could only pretend to stare at Xinglan viciously, spreading his wide wings to show his might...... Why does it feel so cute!
The red eyes narrowed slightly, Xinglan smiled slyly, and sent a command to the protective boots under her feet.
The little bird in front of him was stunned for a moment, and its silver octagonal eyes looked this way, and the electromagnetic waves that were completely invisible and invisible to ordinary creatures could be heard as clearly as sounds...... It's just that you may not understand it.
Feeling the soles of her feet starting to soften, Xinglan took two steps back, then accelerated sharply and rushed directly above the lake with one jump......
There is a circle of air cushions around the bottom of the boots, and the buoyancy provided by the inflatable tissue allows the shoes to easily step on the water, of course, this way of walking requires a lot of balance ability, but Xinglan can even run directly on the water!
The special inflatable material is not afraid of the lake water with hundreds of degrees Celsius, and Xinglan rushes towards it in the bird's unbelievable eyes!
After being stunned for a few seconds, the yellow-white bird reacted and hurriedly prepared to drill underwater, but it was too late......
"Catch it~" The girl jumped up lightly, hugged the little guy in front of her who had a body temperature of several hundred degrees, and rubbed it on it without care, "It's super cute!" ”
The yellow-and-white bird struggled in panic, sending out a series of staccato signals, perhaps incoherently shouting something like "Hentai let go"?
"It's useless to resist~" Xinglan was rubbing happily, but suddenly felt a little wrong.
A shadow shrouded the lake, and Xinglan looked up blankly, and a huge blue-black figure hundreds of meters long floated above the area, obscuring the sunlight......
The chaotic electromagnetic wave signals that continue to come out here have finally attracted a big guy......
