Chapter 18: Natural Disasters and Departures

"There are too many volcanoes on this planet, right?"

"I've traveled a thousand kilometers on the Silver Star now, right? But look at the volcano! Volcano! Or a volcano! ”

Lu Yu didn't just stay in place for a month to observe, if he wanted to keep some tools that he rubbed out by hand, if he couldn't bring them into the cockpit, he had to have a stable external environment, and frequent earthquakes made him make up his mind early to cross the mountains and leave this land of right and wrong.

Although the Silver Star only has four short-legged wheels, the special properties of the armor allow it to be immune to the four basic forces while being space-anchored in the three-dimensional world, so that it will not be thrown out due to the movement of the planet.

And because the Silver Star only showed the characteristics of dots in three dimensions, Lu Yu could even drive it vertically along the huge tree trunk to the end of the tree.

It was not difficult to exercise in the potholes and depressions in the jungle, but the distance was much farther, and the situation improved a lot after Lu Yu found the river.

Like a weightless object, the Silver Star floats directly on the surface of the water and moves on wheels, using the water as its path.

Of course, there will be rocks in the way, but the silver stars glide smoothly over the stones like real mercury.

There is no bump in the cockpit at all, after all, even a supernova explosion cannot affect the inside.

Even if it wasn't a problem to move, after the river left a considerable distance, Lu Yu found that there were too many active volcanoes on this planet! So much so that no matter which direction Lu Yu left, he could see the crater emitting black smoke.

"We speculate that the planet's state is similar to that of the blue star 100 million years ago, and it is highly likely to be in an active crustal period, which matches the phenomenon we observe with frequent earthquakes."

"Geologists believe that during this period, there may even be earthquakes that can break the continental plates, which is beyond the magnitude and intensity of earthquakes that humans currently distinguish."

Professor Mao analyzed the speculation of the expert group for Lu Yu, and now the members of the expert group who act as Lu Yu's external brain in the base have expanded to more than two hundred, they come from various industries, from quantum physics professors to fitness coaches, all have only one purpose - to do their best to solve the problems that appear in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "Wouldn't the plan to establish a simple scientific research base on this planet be in vain?" ”

"There is no need to be so pessimistic, no matter how active the movement of the earth's crust is, there must be a relatively calm area."

Professor Mao on the mobile phone screen clicked on a photo taken by Lu Yu: "Although the Silver Star does not have the ability to fly, we can rely on its characteristics to find a big river to use as our communication line." ”

"That's ...... As long as we don't suddenly encounter some major earthquake, we can always find a place that suits the base plan. ”

Lu Yu nodded in agreement, compared to drifting in the void and cold space, he was still more willing to develop on the planet of life.

The Silver Star stood still in the middle of the rushing river, and in front of it was a small drop waterfall where the river could be seen winding its way through the jungle.

Lu Yu, who was about to end this conversation and continue to hurry, saw a behemoth squeezed out of the bushes on the bank of the river, a pair of huge gray tusks, a huge body but covered with thick scale armor, the alien creature named the gray tooth scale elephant by the experts stretched out its nose to the river and drank water.

Such a beast is a herbivore, and Lu Yu has failed to do so when he tried to record this alien creature several times.

This time it was a rare opportunity, and he was about to open the hatch, when the river shook violently without warning, and everything on the planet seemed to shake.

Earthquake....... Not again.

The earthquake lasted about three to five minutes, in fact, only the first minute or two of the shock was very violent, and then it gradually subsided until it stopped completely, which took only about five minutes in total.

When all the vibrations stopped, Lu Yu was able to see everything around him clearly, which showed how strong and frequent the vibrations were.

At this moment, the jungle below was filled with a red glow, and in many places it could even be seen spilling lava.

A deep crack stretched from the end of the ground, and the river water below the waterfall poured into it frantically, and the rising white vapor quickly formed a local heavy rain when it was cold, but it could not stop the fire that spread due to the lava overflow.

Lu Yu was no longer in the mood to observe any alien creatures, as soon as he controlled the Silver Star and turned around, he saw the volcano that he had crossed not long ago, and the magma was constantly being ejected from the crater to a few hundred meters into the air, and the volcanoes around it erupted invariably, turning the originally blue sky into red and black.

An even more violent earthquake is coming!

The landslide was even just the prelude to the earthquake, and it seemed that the ground around the Silver Star had collapsed, and the whole earth was squeezed by both ends, disconnected and closed like a biscuit, and then slowly lifted.

Lu Yu in the cockpit naturally didn't do any harm, and when everything calmed down, he looked outside, but saw that it was pitch black outside, but it was not the deep darkness of the universe, but a color similar to pitch black soil.

In the earthquake that just broke out, the Silver Star was probably buried deep in the ground, and it couldn't move even half a minute when it tried to move on wheels, and it seemed that it was stuck in the ground and couldn't move.

"Uh-huh.........."

Professor Mao, who was a prophecy, didn't know what to say, but after Lu Yu tried several times to make sure that he couldn't leave here by ordinary means, he immediately made a judgment.

"Use points in exchange for black technology products to get out of trouble."

"Or you can only leave with a space jump."

Stay or leave forever.

Change to a black technology drill bit that drills through rocks and mud, and then continue guerrilla scientific research and observation on a living planet with frequent earthquakes?

Or step into the sea of stars again and meet the next miraculous chance?

Fighting luck is never a good way, Lu Yu's consciousness sank into his mind, and he planned to see if the system could give any black technology products to solve the dilemma.

As a result, Lu Yu once again felt his poverty, and with 25 points, he couldn't exchange it for equipment that could make the Silver Star leave here.

"There's only one option left."

This living planet is the first time that humans have discovered a planet with extraterrestrial life, allowing Lu Yu to get 25 points from here.

This is not a blue star after all, and it is not a home after all, even if a simple scientific research base is established here, Lu Yu will eventually leave.

I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.

After staying in the pitch-black underground for two days, and making sure that there was no external force to help him get out of trouble, Lu Yu's final choice was to pull the switch of space jumping.

"Click!"

A new journey has begun again, and Lu Yu is even mentally prepared for another long aimless drift in the deep universe.

However, just after the space jump was completed, Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

Outside the Silver Star, the yellow sand is long, and the towering buildings stand not far away like a mirage.

And even closer, there are scattered shards of steel, like the wreckage of a spaceship in a science fiction novel!

The last jump was to a living planet, and this time it was actually to a planet with civilization?

Looking at everything in front of him, Lu Yu's expression was very similar to using Yangshou to draw cards.
