Chapter 125: A New World
It was a barren snowfield, and the bitter wind whistled from time to time, bringing up snow-white particles all over the sky.
The silvery white color that spreads all over the field of vision reflects the sunlight overhead, and sometimes people who are shaking can't open their eyes.
Obviously, this is a hostile place where very few life can survive.
However, in such a place filled with cold and dead silence, an underground space completely different from the barrenness of the surface is silently operating, and its peering gaze is constantly directed towards more distant regions.
It is a huge space about ten meters below the surface, and the large artificial open area is inlaid with metal plates that are clearly artificially cast.
These slightly grayish-black metal plates, in addition to ensuring that the entire underground space will not collapse accidentally, also seem to play an excellent thermal insulation effect, if you look carefully, it seems that you can also find Chinese such as "No. 1 welded foundation point" and "No. 5 inlaid foundation point" on individual metal plates.
These insulated metals, combined with the central air-conditioning-like adjustment system inside the base, keep the temperature of the entire underground world at a comfortable temperature like spring.
Compared to the harsh climate overhead, it is simply a paradise of life.
Of course, this vast space bears such obvious traces of the structure of intelligent life, and naturally there will be no shortage of those who live in it.
These humans who are clearly white, yellow, black, and brown on Earth are either operating production lines to produce all kinds of substances, or controlling mining robots far away from other regions to mine minerals.
There are even some people who do all kinds of work that seem to be completely incomprehensible, and there is a tense and busy appearance everywhere.
And in the center of the entire underground base, in a huge room with countless high-altitude overhead images, Dong Xuan quietly looked at several subordinates in front of him.
This is the twentieth day that he has led the pioneer troops here.
After they came to this new planet, they immediately confirmed that there were natural conditions sufficient for human beings to survive.
The smell is a little weird, but it can really provide humans with normal breathing air; Bacteria and microorganisms that are extremely rare and have been tested not to be harmful to humans
Perhaps the only thing that makes people more uncomfortable is the cold that seems to have wiped out all traces of life.
It was extremely cold at minus 40 degrees Celsius, and even steel would be as fragile as glass.
If it weren't for the fact that the people he brought were not human beings in the normal sense, their physique was much stronger than ordinary people, and they were wearing multifunctional adaptation suits specially produced by Helen that were similar to spacesuits, and it was estimated that they would have to be attrition due to extreme cold in the first place.
Although some of them can make them unaccustomed to it, after really resisting the troubles caused by the cold temperature, this harsh climate has become the best protection for Dong Xuan and the others who have just come to this strange planet.
For so long, Dong Xuan and his party had not found any traces of threatening large life except for a few cautious and hardy alien creatures, and they were definitely much safer than those places that were warm and comfortable, but there must be more traces of native life.
After all, if the living planet suitable for human survival does not give birth to various types of life in its own development, it seems to be an even more strange thing.
And the appearance of oxygen seems to imply something, after all, this seemingly accustomed substance is actually extremely difficult to produce naturally.
Not to mention that this concentration is slightly higher than that of the earth, and Dong Xuan will not believe it if there is no life
Of course, in addition to the small accident of temperature, the screening condition of the most priority mineral resource abundance by the Gate of Xenomorphism obviously also gave him a great surprise.
After releasing a few small prospecting machines that Helen had urgently made before, during this time, at least a dozen kinds of rare ore veins and hundreds of ordinary minerals were discovered one after another.
The overestimated abundant reserves under this ice and snow wilderness alone are extremely amazing, and they are even enough to meet all of Dong Xuan's ore needs for hundreds of years!
Of course, while discovering these good news, Dong Xuan also noticed some news that seemed to be bad for him, an outsider:
-- Unlike the earth, which is barren in free energy, the concentration of free energy on this planet is extremely high!
Obviously, this planet must be in a very dense area of the universe with very much free energy.
And this means that the life forms here must be more likely to evolve towards the energy civilization system, that is, their enemies are likely to have special powers like arcane!
The countless materials about the energy civilization in his mind made it very clear to someone how difficult the type of civilization that was weak in the middle stage, but was extremely strong in the early and late stages, was difficult.
If it were possible, he would rather encounter physics monsters like the aliens in the movie than those who can throw off all kinds of unscientific forces.
After all, who can guarantee that they won't encounter it on their backs, similar to the disgusting pervert who really stares at who dies like the condensed beast in the Destruction Universe?
Even if he encounters the kind of wax melting demon monster whose body is weak but can charm all the spiritual strength that is not strong enough, it is enough for Dong Xuan to drink a pot.
At least of the arcane humans he brought, there are basically few who can escape the fate of these slime-like, but only female attributes, disgusting monsters and new flavor breeders who can mate and reproduce with any kind of male
"That's disgusting."
Passing through his mind all kinds of creatures that were obviously very weak in themselves, but had evolved various disgusting abilities, Dong Xuan felt that his face was all green
And it was out of a sense of vigilance against possible unknown life in the homeland that after the basic exploration machine discovered a large amount of minerals in this extremely cold wilderness, he not only did not choose to continue to explore around, but built this underground base on the spot as soon as possible, and then quickly hid everything below the surface.
This is not a difficult thing for him.
After opening up the basic space with the help of a simple machine, the various modules that quickly unfolded began to show their powerful capabilities.
After all, the castrated version of the intermediate mechanical civilization is also a medium-level civilization, and a small problem like this is simply not worth mentioning.
Moreover, there are ten special artificial soldiers who have been specially imported by Helen with various skills in maintaining and operating various machinery, and the operation of the entire base has also not been in any trouble.
After gaining a firm foothold, Dong Xuan launched a total of ten small monitors that could reach the near-star orbit of this planet during this time.
Although most of the complex functions have been cut out of the calculation line because it is only a castrated version of the module production line, and it is necessary to ensure easy launch, the remaining abilities are obviously enough for him to have a rough understanding of the situation on this planet.
This is a planet about the size of Earth.
It is estimated to be about 84% of the Earth's volume, orbiting a star slightly larger than the Sun.
I don't know if it's the result of the Xenomorph Gate specially filtered according to the conditions, but this planet also has a moon orbiting itself.
Although the monitor could not carefully observe the situation of this satellite due to the distance and angle problems, the texture unique to a typical inanimate planet was still very clearly conveyed to everyone who saw it.
Moreover, it is precisely because of the interference of the orbit of this satellite, which is about three-fifths of the volume of the moon, that the planet where Dong Xuan is located actually takes the same time as the earth for one week, which is roughly about twenty-four hours.
This is obviously a good news for Dong Xuan and the others, so that at least they don't have to deliberately adjust the biological clock in their bodies, as long as the people on the night shift know it, it is definitely not a comfortable thing.
In addition to this basic information, the data collected by the monitor was calculated by Helen's separation program, and it was found that the blue ocean, dominated by liquid water, occupies about 62% of the surface of the colorful planet.
However, this alien ocean is much more violent than its counterparts on Earth.
Under the action of strong ocean currents and unknown forces (Dong Xuan guessed that it might be some kind of anomaly caused by a high concentration of free energy), the vast sea area of the planet was actually covered with a large number of super huge permanent whirlpools that were faintly visible in space!
The largest one observed so far is located near the planet's equator.
Under Helen's simulation, the suction power brought by the circulation of this super whirlpool is enough to reach the terrifying wind of more than level 12, and the terrifying air flow can even suck birds thousands of meters into this terrifying water hell!
That kind of terrifying power, it is estimated that even the several special warships that Dong Xuan can theoretically produce now are difficult to resist, coupled with the frequent typhoon-like clouds, it is obviously a very dangerous thing to take a boat or fly in the ocean of this planet.
Aside from the ocean, the rest of the place is naturally the land of the planet.
Excluding the scattered islands, there are three continents on the planet.
One of them was where he was now, and it was somewhat like the elongated continents of North and South America, and his current location was on a huge plateau in the middle of the northern hemisphere of the continent.
The extremely high altitude gives it extremely low temperatures, and it is pure snow white when viewed from space.
But if you leave this large area of gold and red, which occupies about a third of the central part of the Northern Hemisphere and is surrounded by a steep drop in plains, it should resemble a forest-like area, and it really shows the warmth and vitality that it should have.
The second continent is located on the other side of the planet, a huge land mass that also spans the northern and southern hemispheres.
However, compared to the slenderness of the first block, this continent has an oval-like shape, and the area is smaller than the first one.
However, although it is small in size, there is a huge island on each side of the continent, and the island is proportionally at least the size of the island of Taiwan, like two loyal guards sandwiching the mainland in the center.
Compared to these two hemisphere-spanning continents, the third block is undoubtedly much smaller.
Its location is somewhat similar to the North Pole on Earth, and it is less than half the size of the first two.
The faint sunlight near the planet's axis of rotation will inevitably make the entire continent an endless snow-white, and the thick ice crust on it covers almost more than eighty percent of the land.
It is only through the margins and the occasional brown soil that exudes in a few areas that one can truly confirm that it is a real land mass, and not a pure ice sheet like the Arctic
