After being amazed, looking up at this strange giant structure,

Yang Meng's expression moved slightly, as if he remembered something,

And the small light on the side was as surprised as Yang Meng, it looked at the unknown object, and said in a flash:

"What is this?"

"It's supposed to be a porous charcoal sponge!"

Xiaoguang, who was still very puzzled, heard Yang Meng's voice, and the flickering frequency jumped suddenly,

"How do you know?"

"Wait, is that the message I received from your people earlier!"

At this time, Yang Meng did not answer Xiaoguang's question,

Although it has been speculated that there is a high probability that the unknown moving object in the sea is some kind of living thing,

But until he clearly detects this thing, he won't jump to certain conclusions.

And now seeing this structure, recalling the message sent by the earth before,

Yang Meng can basically determine what the things here are,

As mentioned in the previous letter from the ground,

The pioneer astronaut, when he landed on this planet, discovered a special organism between bacteria and multicellular organisms.

According to similar creatures on Earth,

Humans named it Polypore,

In a previous letter, the ground mentioned the research of human scientists on this fungus,

But alas,

Yang Meng did not completely decipher the letter from the earth,

The information above is very cluttered,

Yang Meng could not determine the size of the polypore fungus, let alone know the study of this strange creature.

But after knowing that such creatures exist on this planet, Yang Meng decided to send a probe to actually explore the planet.

"I didn't expect the polypore mentioned on the ground to be so huge!"

Looking at the behemoth on the screen, Yang Meng thought of a lot of things in his heart,

Although he was unable to obtain detailed data on polypores from ground information,

But there are similar porous organisms on Earth,

One of the most famous is the sponge.

From Xiao Yin's database, Yang Meng learned that the sponge is a very ancient and primitive multicellular organism.

said to be multicellular organisms,

But the sponge has no central nervous system, no brain, no organs.

tracing the origin,

The earliest porous organisms were a kind of symbiosis that appeared when a bunch of bacteria converged together.

And the study of sponges,

To a certain extent, it has also solved the doubts of some paleontologists about the evolution of the earth's primitive microorganisms to multicellular organisms.

Recalling these,

Yang Meng was looking at the giant structure in front of him, combined with the environment on the planet Ross 128b,

A bunch of fungi, facing the complex marine environment of this planet, as well as the harsh atmospheric meteorological conditions,

Evolved into this, the behavior of huddles is undoubtedly a good strategy,

"And, judging from the action patterns of polypore, compared to the sponges on Earth,

Its internal structure should be more complex, otherwise it will not move slowly and keep itself in the day hemisphere! ”

"But what is it going to do when it comes up?"

Yang Meng looked at the polypores on the screen still floating up, and he was very puzzled.

At this time, Xiaoguang on the side seemed to notice something, and reminded loudly:

"Look there, there's another similar thing!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng looked at another screen,

The content on this screen is a perspective of the pneumatic detector in the sky.

When the probes in the water are moving, the probes in the sky are also moving synchronously.

At this time, because of the appearance of stars,

The whole world is brightened,

Under Rayleigh scattering, even if the planet is close to the red dwarf,

But the whole sky is still blue,

There are some white clouds in the blue sky, and under the white clouds are the deep blue waters.

Because the light is excellent,

The detection range of the aerial detector is extremely wide,

And the decrease in the wind makes the waves on the sea not very large.

Then a black dot came up from under the sea,

And not far from this black dot another black dot emerged,

Yang Meng adjusts the focal length of the camera device

It was found that farther away, there were more black spots.

"There are so many polypores here!"

"And the windless zone here is so wide,

If you use polypore fungi to build an island in a windless zone and float at a constant speed against the direction of rotation, wouldn't you have a safe base! ”

Thinking of this, Yang Meng's eyes lit up,

With what he knew about the pioneer astronaut, if she had discovered this phenomenon, it was very likely that this idea would have arisen.

However, Yang Meng's idea has just appeared,

In the east of the windless belt, there is a cloud and rain belt like a black curtain, which is rapidly advancing here.

And the polypore fungi that had just surfaced also seemed to be frightened, and quickly dived into the sea.

Yang Meng, who saw this scene, was stunned at first, and then thought of a possibility:

Could it be that the windless belt is not fixed, but will be produced intermittently!

The situation with Ross 128b is extremely complex, and it is extremely difficult to form a stable meteorological area.

And watching the rapid dive of the polypore, he thought of another thing,

"This is the only way to explain why the faint signal that was detected before suddenly disappeared."

It is only in the deep sea that the electromagnetic signal is weakened to that extent,

Compared to the sound waves generated by sonar, the weakening of the electromagnetic signal in water is extremely obvious.

In the ocean at a depth of 300 meters,

Ordinary radio signals can be greatly obstructed,

A hundred years ago, if you wanted to talk to a submarine in the sea, you needed to build an exclusive longwave radio station.

Just when Yang Meng was thinking about the disappearance of communication,

The small light on the side, seeing the changes in the transmitted image, flashed and said:

"There's a good chance that that one of your people is in one of the polypores!"

Hearing Xiaoguang, Yang Meng nodded slightly,

He thinks so, too,

Such a large polypore fungus,

If you can establish a stable space and life circulation system in it,

Humans may not be able to live in it,

After all, mankind has already built a space station in space a hundred years ago.

Even if it's a technology from a hundred years ago,

It is also possible to hollow out a polypore and create an environment for human survival.

"I don't know, which polypore fungus she is hiding in!"

"Xiao Yin, can you still simulate the current position of the weak signal before?"

"Sorry, because of the loss of signal,

Now we can only judge the movement trajectory of the unknown signal point! ”

"Is that so?"

Hearing Xiao Yin's answer, Yang Meng did not feel any disappointment,

Previously, when it was detected that there was a signal anomaly on Planet B,

He's chasing the trail, and after the spy satellite blew itself up,

He doesn't have any probes in orbit around planet b.

It's a very lucky thing to be able to catch a weak signal.

What's more, on this planet, polypore bacteria are still in a state of movement,

the position of the previously detected signal point,

After these months, it has entered the night hemisphere

Fortunately, although it is impossible to determine the exact location of that signal point,

But the polypore bacteria on this planet move very slowly, and there is a certain pattern.

Through the movement of these polypore, the movement trajectory of that signal point can be deduced.

He just chased after him according to his trajectory.

After Xiang Xiaoyin determined the possible trajectory,

Yang Meng decided to move on, and now he has just entered the morning hemisphere.

According to Xiao Yin's speculation, it is very likely that the signal point has moved to the ten o'clock time zone.

However, before heading to the 10 o'clock time zone,

First, he wanted to do some preliminary detection of the polypore fungus in front of him.

If you find out before you come into contact with the pioneer astronaut, the type of internal structure of this polypore fungus

Then after waiting until ten o'clock in the time zone, you may be able to avoid some trouble.

……

At this point,

The sea became dark again,

The sun is blocked,

and the sea became gray,

The surrounding ocean currents are chaotic again,

Polypore fungus also descended into the pitch-black sea,

Yang Meng gave an order to let the detector find a large hole and drill in.

After determining what it was, and entering the interior space,

Some of the detection methods of underwater detectors that are easy to attract attention can also be let go.

Originally, Yang Meng just thought,

It would be nice to be able to detect some internal structures.

Didn't expect to find something strange,

After all, for porous organisms like sponges,

The internal structure is not complicated, and the detector has verified a little bit when using light exploration.

Even if the various passages in this make the whole structure like a labyrinth,

But for a spacecraft equipped with a quantum computing module,

The maze can be solved in less than a second.

And in order to understand the entire internal structure of polypore as quickly as possible,

After reaching a certain depth, the detector turns on the sonar detection system.

As with the previous detection of pebbles,

The sound waves of the sonar device reverberate throughout the polypore,

And it was precisely the opening of the sonar system that made Yang Meng discover a different place.

……

The image transmitted back through sonar,

You can see the location in the middle of this polypore,

A spherical device with a diameter of more than five hundred meters appeared,

And according to the different transmission and reflection of sound waves in different media,

This ball actually has a metallic reaction,

A metal sphere, on the other hand, is not spontaneous at first glance.

"What is this?"

Xiaoguang on the side also noticed this thing:

"I used to think that the structure of this thing itself is mostly carbonate, how can there be obvious particle fluctuations!"

"The distance of this particle wave is still so far away!"

"It seems that the particle fluctuations on the polypore are caused by this thing!"

"Could it be that there is some kind of civilization on this planet?"

Hearing the assertion of the alien civilization, Yang Meng's heartbeat accelerated a little.

The first galaxy he traveled to, the Rutan system, encountered an alien civilization,

And while looking for the lost pioneer astronaut, he encountered a second alien civilization,

To know that the other 14 pioneer astronauts have not encountered any alien civilization until now,

And he met two at once,

This is also too coincidental and lucky for him.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Yang Meng's heart,

He suppressed the Ji Dong in his heart,

ordered to let the probe, remain silent before,

Through the quantum computing module, the optimal path is calculated, and the metal sphere is quietly close to the center.

And Xiaoguang saw Yang Meng's actions, and said with a flash:

"There's no point in you hiding now,

There is a good chance that the probe's actions just now will be discovered by the other side! ”

Hearing Xiaoguang say this, Yang Meng did not refute,

Instead, continue to bring the detector closer to the metal sphere.

Guided by the optimal path, it took only fifteen minutes for the detector to reach the vicinity of the metal sphere.

And oddly enough,

During this time, the probe was not attacked or detected, and anything else actively touched the probe.

At this point,

The detector passed through a channel,

A faint glow came from the end of the passage.

"There is light!" The small light flickered violently,

At this point, the detector passes through the channel,

Then, with the faint light, a vast circular space was observed.

At this time, Yang Meng and Xiaoguang both noticed the source of the glimmer,

That's the huge ball in the middle of this circular space.

There are three intersecting rings on this ball,

It is from this ring that the light emanates,

And with this little light,

Yang Meng saw the huge ball with a metallic luster.

"It's definitely not natural!" A small light flickered on the side, and a conclusion was reached.

"What do you think it is?" After Xiaoguang asked this sentence, he waited for a few seconds but didn't see Yang Meng answer,

Seeing this, the small light flickered and turned his vision to Yang Meng,

At this time, Yang Meng was staring at the screen tightly, showing a certain emotion on his face that he had never seen.

"Did you find anything?"

I saw Yang Meng let out a long breath:

"I'm afraid this is not alien civilization technology!"

"Not an alien civilization?"

Yang Meng didn't know how Xiao Yin translated the meaning of alien civilization to Xiao Guang,

But Xiaoguang does understand what an alien civilization is,

Therefore, when Xiaoguang heard that it was not an alien civilization, the flickering frequency on his body also became chaotic:

"Could it be that the things here have something to do with your people, and that they come from your technology?"

"There are indeed traces of human technology on this!"

Yang Meng looked at the metal ball in front of him and muttered secretly,

The reason why he was so sure that

It's not that there's some obvious technology on it.

Instead, when Xiao Yin analyzes the image of the outside of the metal sphere,

It was found that on the external material, there are some micro-carved marks,

The text and encoding used for the logo can be said to be exactly the same as the one used by his force's space industry.

"So it seems to have something to do with the pioneer astronaut!"

"Could it be that she's in there?"

Yang Meng was suspicious,

He couldn't believe that things could be so coincidental and so smooth.

When the probe entered the diurnal hemisphere, the first unknown moving object it encountered was related to the pioneer astronaut

"And what is the purpose of this metal ball?"

This is one of the things that Yang Meng is most puzzled about at present,

Although he had determined that the metal sphere was related to the pioneer astronaut,

But what is the use of the metal ball, neither he nor Xiao Yin can analyze it.

"If you can get inside the metal ball, you might be able to find a clue!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng gave instructions for the probe to find the entrance.
