Chapter 109: Underground...
The second base is still developing, subject to the harsh environment, the capacity of the joint production workshop, its development speed is limited, which is also the limit of the second generation of unmanned units.
Compared with human beings, just having a way to settle here is enough to be called great, and in nature, there is no way for any life to survive, develop, and progress safely...
Except for aliens.
And below, the things to be involved seem to be related to aliens...
Another day, Nana arranged the work of today's unmanned unit step by step, the production tasks of the joint production workshop, and returned to surfing the Internet in her spare time, browsing the news, and even watching boring soap opera movies.
"Is my life repeating?" Even if they are mental models that are good at patience, they will feel lonely, and virtually, they don't have so many ways for humans to pass the time, and they can even get spiritual pleasure through friction between them.
She examines the development of the second base and notices something that has not yet been activated before the owner leaves—the Deep Geological Scanning Device. After the development of neutrino technology, especially after solving the problem of neutrino generation, neutrino communicators were born. The former neutrino communicator is installed in the Hengyue-class spacecraft to maintain stable communication, while the latter is a deep geological scanning device with unlimited potential, but so far it is still a cold bench and has not yet matured products.
The reason why the East Galaxy Company did not use it to conduct a deep geological scan of a planet is that on the one hand, the cost is high, and on the other hand, the mineral deposits at a depth of more than 10 kilometers are inaccessible and unexploitable for humans, and the value brought by scanning is not high.
Today, she plans to activate the deep geological scanning equipment to see what Pluto's underground looks like, and how such a planet, which is not even qualified as a planet, has originated and evolved.
Only as a mental model would she do such a thing, ordinary people are busy with work all day long, and never think about anything other than making money.
The helium-3 brought from the moon provides absolutely abundant energy to make the start-up extremely smooth, and as the neutrino beam penetrates 2,300 kilometers to the other side of the planet, it brings back information about the depths of the planet.
The fuzzy information is presented as a picture, which gradually becomes clear through rounds of scanning, and the world below 20 kilometers can be regarded as the part of the earth's mantle, with lava everywhere and dynamically changing geological structures, which means that even if it is a terrestrial planet, it is still constantly changing, and its interior is breathing, metabolizing, and even growing and aging like life.
"It's a pretty good sight..."Nana felt empty again after a brief glimpse of what was going on deep underground, after all, she wasn't a geologist, and she wouldn't get bored even if she had been studying for months.
She lazily manipulated the deep geological scanning equipment to adjust the direction, and sent out neutrino beams in the other direction, and the structure of the underground changed, but it was not big, there was nothing new, until she suddenly noticed a green light lurking 20 kilometers underground, which seemed to be wriggling, and a slight change occurred.
As the neutrino beam focuses on the past, the green color changes more obviously, as if an animal has awakened from hibernation, showing a vitality of life.
"What do I see!" Nana was a little surprised, should her luck be said to be bad or lucky, she had found something amazing, could it be a cosmic life that had never been discovered? Out of trust in her master, trust in herself, she did not have worries and fears, but found it fun.
"It's 60 kilometers away from us, let the unmanned unit go over and have a look." She gave the order as soon as she could, and a construction truck and a mining truck approached.
On the ground above the green light cluster, not long after the two unmanned units arrived, they detected and felt the vibration of the underground, and saw the sand and gravel floating around, and the surrounding electromagnetic field fluctuated, causing interference.
The ground cracked slightly, and red hot magma appeared, and even unmanned units would not be set to work in an environment above 2,000 degrees Celsius, and the two unmanned units that had just approached had to retreat.
A crack more than ten meters long appeared, and I don't know what happened, Nana was sure that it must have something to do with the green light cluster below.
She seriously let the engineering truck build an unmanned post in the distance, and the mining truck dug down on the spot, trying to explore what was going on in the depths, and a day later, a second crack appeared, and it is conceivable that the ground is undergoing drastic changes, and she does not dare to scan it with the equipment again, for fear of any accidents.
On the third day, she sent a larger number of unmanned attack aircraft and land heavy fire platforms to the site, and the mining vehicle, which was 300 meters underground, collapsed into the ground and completely lost its signal.
She saw that in the aerial footage sent back by the satellite, the original crack expanded again, and a strange creature emerged from it, just looking at the appearance, some of them looked like snakes, slender and curved, without eyes, relying on unknown sensory organs to detect the surroundings, and there was a way to survive in such a low temperature environment.
It crawled hundreds of meters along the undulating ground until it encountered an unmanned unit responsible for patrolling, a land-based heavy firepower platform. Just looking at the performance parameters of the land heavy fire platform, the firepower is equivalent to the artillery power of a 120mm caliber main battle tank, the defense is equivalent to the equivalent armor thickness of 650mm, the size is about a three-wheeled motorcycle, the speed can reach 100 km/h, and it is also equipped with 18 miniature guided missiles.
Unexpectedly, after noticing the land-based heavy firepower platform, the mysterious creature accelerated violently, jumped to the top of the platform that was two or three times its size, and took the opportunity to attack its dead end.
Its weapon is a sharp tooth in the mouth, which gnaws the surface of the armor plate, and does not penetrate, but there is a crater with a thickness of 1cm, how much force can this be done!
If the unmanned attack aircraft shoots intensively, if you zoom in on the aerial footage, you will clearly see that the bullets that are enough to penetrate and destroy the flesh and skin of the human body and the organs also encounter a lot of resistance in front of the mysterious creature, and it is only after nearly 100 bullets that it is killed.
The mysterious creature died, leaving Nana wondering, "What the hell is this?" Could it be cosmic life? Do I have to tell the master? She thought about it, trying to find a way to recover the corpse of the mysterious creature and store it at the second base, and became more curious about the anomalies underground.
The next day, the number of mysterious life increased to 3, gushing out of cracks, scattering in all directions, what did not change was that the unmanned attack aircraft still spent a lot of energy to annihilate it, and even a mysterious life jumped dozens of meters to shoot down a fragile unmanned attack aircraft hovering at low altitude.
It seemed more dangerous and terrifying than imagined, and after continuous testing, Nana did not hesitate to regard the mysterious life as the enemy, stepped up the production of combat units, and sent up to 100 unmanned attack aircraft and a solid land heavy firepower platform to send over.
The situation has eased for a while, and several mysterious beings will emerge every day, but they will never be against their side.
Nana enjoyed the thrill of fighting every moment, until half a month later, more than twenty mysterious beings suddenly appeared in the cracks in the ground.
She was in a hurry, and finally after paying more than a dozen unmanned attack planes and a land heavy firepower platform, she completely solved the life that came out.
"It's a terrible feeling." Nana felt a palpitation and felt that things were slowly getting out of control, she calmed down and took the risk of rescanning through the detection equipment, and she was surprised to find that the green light she had seen had expanded more than tenfold, occupying a vast space of nearly 2,3 square kilometers underground, and became like a fortress underground.
She felt she had to tell her master.
