Hearing a series of commands from his master, Akama replied reflexively: "Report to your lord, the next unknown fluctuation is particularly strong, and the instructions are very clear. If my calculations are correct, then we should go next......

Europa!"

Dongfang Chen was shocked: "What? Europa?

I thought that the Black Prison Tower matrix would be placed next on Jupiter according to the previous arrangement. ”

Akama smiled: "Captain, Jupiter is huge, it is a gas planet, and the environment is so bad that you can't even imagine it. A hurricane with a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour alone is not something that the Femira Shadow Regiment can handle.

Besides, although the mass of the sphere device is huge, it may not be able to be shaken on an asteroid, but with a celestial body of Jupiter's size and activity, it is difficult to say whether that thing can work stably.

Therefore, the matrix component must be placed on a solid object with relatively stable orbits and a relatively docile temper.

Europa may have been the best place they had chosen to settle in the first place. ”

Prosius said impatiently, "Well, I see. But it's too slow to go on like this, Dongfang boy, let's go on separately.

Akama, immediately calculate the four-dimensional spatial coordinates of the remaining four wave sources, and I'll go directly to those places to see what else I can find.

You just operate the Shaking Light spaceship to follow Dongfang Chen, and the two of you will go to Europa to investigate, no problem, right?"

Dongfang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his chest and shouted, "Old man, don't worry." Guaranteed to keep you satisfied!"

Prosius nodded, and after some serious preparations, he tore open the spatial rift and walked away.

Dongfang Chen is the only one left in the huge spaceship, and there is also a ubiquitous intelligence.

Since the sky between the asteroid belt and Jupiter was relatively "clean", Akama accelerated the Shaker to near cruising speed, and it took only a few minutes to reach Europa, where it flew in constant sync.

Europa, also known as Europa, is the fourth largest of Jupiter's eighty moons. Although it is named Europa, it is not the second one, and people have been used to it for hundreds of years.

Europa is probably the most famous of all the solar system's moons, as it is a classic rock-soil planetary structure that is typically wrapped in a metallic core-carbon-silicon-mantle-crust-atmosphere. Even better, on its surface, leading scholars estimate that it is covered with liquid water up to 200 kilometers deep and ice up to 100 kilometers thick.

In other words, aside from the earth-centered mantle and other solid things that must exist on planets, Europa is an all-ocean planet, except that the most superficial ocean is frozen in ice.

This is simply a miniature version of Dongfang Chen's real homeland, the capital of Atlantis: Cui Ivank.

If you think about it a little deeper, since Europa has an ocean beneath its ice cap, the temperature there must be above the freezing point of water and below the boiling point. To say that life could exist in that ocean is not delusional. It's up to the Creator to give Europa this chance!

After calculating the orbital angle, the Shake Light began to land in a rappelling landing. The orange-white earth is covered with brown stripes. As all the color patches and streaks rapidly enlarged in the field of vision, the ship crossed a curve and landed in a flat and open area in ten minutes.

Although the surface of the planet is not smooth, it is also extremely flat, and it is said that the height difference of the entire surface of Europa is less than a kilometer, and there are no mountains and deep valleys and other terrain at all. Even if a meteorite falls and hits, the craters are gradually flattened by the self-rhythm of the ice sheet. However, there are countless crevices in the ice that lie beneath the vast ice cap.

The hatch opened, Dongfang Chen walked out, and after completing a series of routines for his first visit to a strange planet, his excitement quickly subsided, and he had to face a real problem.

"Akama, where is the Black Prison Tower Matrix Facility here?"

"Nonsense, under the ice, of course. The source of the signal shows that it is somewhere 483 kilometers deep beneath your feet. ”

"What? 483 kilometers? So, isn't that at the bottom of the sea?"

"Hmph, I don't know if it's under the sea, I just look at the data to speak. ”

"I'm going to drill through 100 kilometers of ice, and I don't know if I can do it in the Year of the Monkey!"

"Of course you can't, but the Shaker can. Don't forget, it's a research spacecraft. ”

"Really? Oh yes, that's great.

Akama, what are you waiting for? ”

......

After a short while, the Shaking Light began to float slowly, and when it was thirty meters above the ground, it stopped. Then a circular hatch with a diameter of more than ten meters opened in the back of its lower abdomen, and a black spindle-shaped object slowly poked out of it. When fully revealed, it resembled an upright rugby ball, nearly ten meters high and more than five meters in diameter at its thickest point, like a miniature version of the Shake Light spaceship, hovering motionless above the ice.

After waiting for another two minutes, the whole spindle object shook slightly, and then the picture blurred, starting from the tip below, derived a circle of dark blue ring ribbon of light, along the main body all the way up, until the end of the tail converged, bursting out of an extremely dazzling white point of light. The light was so brilliant that it visually showed a picture of the light extending infinitely to the left and right.

Dongfang Chen was shocked by the aura and light, and asked Akama in surprise: "What is this? There is actually a sub-aircraft inside the Shaking Light?"

Akama teased, "What kind of flying machine? That's just a probe carried by this research ship, and there is no such thing on the Shake Light, what kind of research ship is it."

It has a name, called Dorant 600, and there are three more such probes in the spacecraft, numbered Dorrant 700-900. Of course, the regimental commander, you can now rename them. ”

Dongfang Chen thought for a while and said, "No need, this spaceship is shaking, and it is not appropriate for me to name her things privately."

What, Dorrant 600 can help us get through the ice?"

Akama smirked, "Of course, now that we're using its tunneling mode, you'll have to wait and see."

Let it open the way in front of us, and we'll follow up with a Dorant 700 in a moment. Of the four probes, 700 and 900 can carry crews, 800 are used to load cargo equipment, and only 600 are pure open-circuit vehicles.

Moreover, the four Dorant detectors can be detached in any combination, and can be transformed into a necessary tool for various scientific expeditions. They can even be combined to form a stand-alone frontier camp, enough to support our operations in extremely hostile environments.

I've given all of this to Lord Shake Light in detail. Why? Didn't she tell you?"

Dongfang Chen was silent for a moment and sighed: "Alas, your Lord Shaoguang should not be interested in scientific exploration at all, and all his thoughts are spent on eating, drinking, and fighting." ”

......

While Dongfang Chen was chatting with Akama, the Dorant 600 had already begun to slowly approach the ice. The aura emanating from its head had some power, causing the incomparably hard ice to melt in an instant, spewing out a large amount of white mist, like a piece of butter meeting a red-hot steel drill.

After a short time, the tail light point of Dorant 600 suddenly flashed, and the entire detector instantly accelerated, plunged into the ice, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Dongfang Chen only felt that the ice surface under his feet was faintly shaking, and he saw that the hole in the ice surface that was more than ten meters square continued to erupt water vapor, rushing hundreds of meters into the air, and even the huge hull of the Shaking Light was submerged in the white mist......

More than an hour later, Akama exclaimed, "Damn, release the alarm with high pressure!"

After finishing speaking, it hurriedly remotely commanded the Shaking Light to stay away from the eruption vent, and instructed Dongfang Chen to evacuate at least two kilometers away.

Dongfang Chen had just stood up after following Akama's instructions, when he felt that the earth was shaking, and strong earthquakes were continuous, as if the entire planet was trembling.

Immediately afterward, a white column of water erupted from the hole drilled by the probe, with incredible power, lifting the arch and blasting through all the nearby ice. In the crushed ice that sprayed and flew in the sky, the water column soared dozens of kilometers high, and then dispersed, turning into a large cloud of water mist, slowly drifting, and the starry sky seemed to bloom a white flower.

Dongfang Chen was stunned for more than ten minutes in the face of this situation, and no words were enough to describe the shock in his heart.

In the end, it was Akama's words that pulled him back to reality: "Well, Captain, this eruption is estimated to last a few hours.

Let's take the Dorant 700 and force our way inside!"
