When the first humanoid object is seen,

Yang Meng was startled at first, thinking that he had discovered the whereabouts of the pioneer astronaut.

But as more and more humanoid objects appear,

Yang Meng also had some bad premonitions in his heart,

"What's going on?"

With the high-frequency vibration of the detector robotic arm, the shock wave generated swept over and over the entire metal sphere.

The scene inside is also becoming clearer and clearer,

Through the clear image, it can be found that the humanoid objects inside are not neatly distributed.

Instead, they lay in various areas,

Seeing this situation, Yang Meng's face was not good-looking.

And Xiao Guang on the side saw the image analyzed by Xiao Yin on the screen, flickering rapidly, revealing a certain emotion:

"Is there more than one of your people?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng shook his head lightly and said:

"She's the only one!"

"Then this is ......"

At this time, Yang Meng had calmed down, he looked at the humanoid creatures on the screen, and muttered secretly,

"Could it be that this is an alien civilization in the Ross 128 system?"

In the eyes of humans, alien forms can be strange,

A floating energy body like Xiaoguang is a form of civilization that is beyond human cognition.

Although aliens exist in an unpredictable diversity,

But out of the logic of convergent evolution,

Nor are they aliens that don't take on human form.

"However, it is not very likely that the humanoids in this are alien civilizations!"

"And their state ......"

These humanoid creature states made Yang Meng feel a little strange,

At this time, the high-frequency vibration sound generated by the detector striking the metal ball,

To the human ear, it is a complete noise.

If the humanoid creature inside had an autonomous consciousness, it would have been awakened at this time.

And such a big movement, but it didn't wake up those humanoid creatures,

In Yang Meng's view, there are nothing more than so many possibilities,

Those people have lost their sense of autonomy,

Or they're dead.

"But if they've lost their lives, why don't the bodies decompose?

Was it a recent death?

Or is there some kind of experiment going on? ”

The words "recent" and "experimental" come to mind

In Yang Meng's mind, a notorious gray force suddenly popped up.

"Do you mean ......?"

A terrible guess arose in his mind,

But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong.

Because the time is not right,

When the pioneer astronauts who went to the Ross 128 galaxy lost contact, the gray forces were still raging in the Keyinbo belt.

At that time, the gray forces had not yet been encircled and suppressed,

There is also no tendency to leave the solar system,

It is not possible to cross the distance of time and space for hundreds of years to come to the Ross 128 galaxy,

"Or maybe it's a recent arrival!"

I can think that three metal balls were found in a very small area,

Obviously, such a complex amount of work cannot be built overnight.

"So I think this thing has something to do with her!"

As a pioneer astronaut, he knows that in this era of highly intelligent automation of mechanical equipment,

Combined with micron-level 3D printing technology, what a terrible industrial reaction will be produced.

In addition to the cryogenic sleep technology can greatly extend the life,

As long as an orderly industrial production process is established, which can only be guided by human beings,

So under the practice of exchanging time for capacity,

It is also not impossible to build such a base within a certain period of time,

"Speaking of which, if she hadn't left the planet,

If you do the math, she's been on this planet for more than 150 years!

There's more time to do it to this extent! ”

"And what are these humanoids inside?"

high-frequency sound waves present the image, although it is impossible to see the appearance of these humanoid creatures,

But in terms of body size data,

These creatures are very close to humans, so Yang Meng has reason to suspect,

It's a clone of some kind of human creature,

As early as hundreds of years ago, when the gray forces were still in the asteroid belt close to Mars,

developed rapid cloning technology,

for unlawful purposes,

Nowadays, cloning technology can be said to be how fast and easy it is, and in a very small time, a human body can be created.

"But if it's human cloning, which is strictly forbidden by the ground command center, why would she do it?"

Although the cloning technology possessed by their pioneer astronauts is very advanced,

But for moral, legal, and ethical reasons,

All the cloning techniques used by the pioneer astronauts were procedurally limited.

Can only be used for medically relevant tissue cloning,

At the beginning, his thigh was taken to study by Xiaoguang,

Yang Meng relied on tissue cloning technology to restore his thighs.

But even though the cloning device has procedural limitations, he is well aware of it.

Pioneer astronauts will lose all restraint when they are far away from Earth,

If you want to bypass the program restrictions, it is also very easy to make human cloning.

"But why did she break through the limits?"

For the pioneer astronaut who was with him and trained for a long time,

Yang Meng thinks that he still knows her better,

This kind of thing that breaks through the restrictions and carries out illegal cloning for no reason, she will not do,

There must be some reasons for this,

"Is there some crisis she has to do this?"

Yang Meng secretly guessed in his heart,

But after thinking for a while, Yang Meng sighed softly:

"There's no point in thinking so much,

As Hikari said, go in and take a look at a lot of puzzles that will be revealed! ”

Thinking of this,

Yang Meng gathered his thoughts and discussed with Xiao Yin about the suitability of landing.

Ross 128b is one of the few rocky planets with a thick atmosphere.

There are many things to prepare if you want to land on such a planet.

Though they are ready to land on this bplanet,

But the current detection work is not over.

Detectors that go to the other two metal spheres,

He also began to oscillate at high frequency with the metal sphere near him, and then was imaged by Xiao Yin's image analysis program.

As with the first metal ball,

There is also a motionless humanoid form in these two metal spheres,

Through the comparison of the detection data of the three metal spheres,

Xiao Yin also determined the internal structure of the metal ball,

From a structural point of view,

These three metal balls,

Somewhat similar to an underwater life pod

There's a circulatory system, a life-sustaining system,

Yang Meng even saw the existence of a hydroponic farm in the very center of the metal sphere.

Such a scene made Yang Meng more and more sure that this was the place where some kind of human cloned creature lived.

And it is very likely that these clones have lost their lives for some reason,

After detecting and understanding these things,

It made Yang Meng feel puzzled,

Why did these clones die, and what was the purpose of creating the metal spheres?

He didn't know anything,

All he could do was prepare for the landing.

……

Time is passing little by little,

As a planet with an extremely slow rotation,

Some things that can't be done on Earth can be done on this planet,

For example, praise the father chasing the sun,

As long as you can walk in the opposite direction of rotation and at a certain speed,

Then the sun is always in a certain place in the sky,

If it's a little faster,

To a certain extent, you can reach the level of "time rewind",

And at this time,

The aerial probe, which was originally in the 12 o'clock time zone, has flown to the 10 o'clock time zone and is steadily stopping in the clouds.

Multiple azimuth HD cameras on the detector,

is constantly adjusting the direction, the purple hole in the lens, also because of the change of focal length, keeps expanding and shrinking.

At this time, the hatch under the detector slowly opened,

Something in the shape of a torpedo, was dropped,

With this streamlined thing thrown,

An invisible cluster of data signals was also transmitted.

This data soars into the sky,

After spending nearly two minutes, it was relayed by a small, inconspicuous probe far away from Planet B,

This signal returned to Planet B again,

It's just that this signal is not in the day hemisphere, but in the night hemisphere on the other side.

Above the dark night hemisphere,

I don't know when a very gray star appeared,

If there is a civilization on this planet that exists in the night hemisphere, it is very likely that they will notice this star.

But alas,

The night hemisphere of the planet is extremely cold,

Even if there is life, it can only survive under the ice sheet.

And on this dark gray star, which no intelligent life perceives,

Yang Meng just received a prompt from Xiao Yin:

"An underwater probe has been released to the target point!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's voice, Yang Meng nodded lightly,

Then I looked at some of the data on the screen.

Nine days have passed since the discovery of the presence of humanoid creatures in the metal sphere.

During this time,

The spacecraft quietly approached the planet Ross 128b from the direction of the night hemisphere.

If it were, it was a human being hundreds of years ago,

Unlike orbiting to get closer to a planet,

Instead, it went straight to the side of the planet, which was basically equivalent to hitting the planet in a spaceship.

But in this day and age,

After the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion technology,

The spaceship has enough energy,

Like a retrievable rocket, resisting the gravitational pull of the planet, landing in a predetermined place,

At this time, Yang Meng's spacecraft was in a synchronous orbit above the equator in the night hemisphere of Planet B.

But alas,

Because the autobiography of planet b is extremely slow, the position of the synchronous orbit is extremely high,

In order to operate in a lower orbit, the spacecraft still needs to consume a certain amount of energy.

Orbit adjustment is necessary to make the spacecraft stop stably in orbit

And after continuous adjustments and attempts, the spaceship can be regarded as hiding behind the night hemisphere.

And even if he was hiding behind the night hemisphere, Yang Meng was still a little uneasy,

The situation on this planet is too weird,

Although no active intelligent life forms have been found so far,

But the light from the previous trail, guiding him out of this galaxy's behavior,

What is certain is that there must be some kind of intelligent being who guides all this,

That intelligent being, it may be the pioneer astronaut,

Or something else.

Before entering the planet for more detailed exploration,

Yang Meng also had to determine the source of the weak signal before,

After this period of research on polypore bacteria in the ocean, the location of the previous signal point was basically determined.

This location is located in the 10 o'clock time zone where the aerial probe is now located.

"I didn't expect the windless zone to appear more frequently in this time zone!"

Looking at the data transmitted back by the aerial probe, Yang Meng secretly sighed, the magic of the natural environment,

The ten o'clock time zone is closer to the night hemisphere,

The clash of cold air and warm and humid air currents is more pronounced in this region.

Although this confrontation

led to extremely violent meteorological results,

But when the cold air is better than the warm air, there will be a quiet scene with high clouds and clouds.

And the temperature will drop rapidly,

However, the specific heat capacity of water is very large, and it is not easy to freeze the sea water for a short time.

And the warm and humid air flow quickly swept in, in this case of cold and warm pulling each other,

There is a surprisingly large amount of time to soak up the sun.

Therefore, the number and size of polypore here far exceed the 12-point time zone where the probe stayed before.

But it is precisely because of this situation that

It is not easy for underwater probes to find the previous signal source.

On the spaceship,

Seeing that the underwater probe had entered the stage of exploration, Yang Meng floated to the equipment cabin and debugged and tested the next various equipment.

In the process of Yang Meng's debugging,

Xiaoguang floated in at some point, and it looked at the various new printed devices in the equipment cabin, and asked with a flash:

"Are you planning to land on this planet yourself?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng did not stop the movements in his hand, but said to Xiaoguang while looking at the test data:

"You seem to be a little worried about my safety!"

"I'm really worried!"

"I know you have a high level of intelligent mechanical skills,

Why don't you send a better probe to explore the inside of the metal sphere first? ”

At this time, Yang Meng, who was testing the equipment, stopped the movement in his hand and looked back at Xiaoguang.

Seeing that the small light was flickering slightly, Yang Meng shook his head lightly and said:

"Don't worry, I'll send a probe that can open the metal orb to explore inside, and then I'm considering whether to land!"

"I see!"

Seeing that Yang Meng was still as usual, very cautious, and the small light flickered and revealed, I was relieved.

And at this moment, Xiaoguang noticed that Yang Meng's expression changed slightly, and then there was a nervous condition reaction in his ears that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

And this reaction is very familiar to the small light that can detect small changes.

"It seems that he is communicating with the artificial intelligence in his body!"

"Did you find any clues in the water?"

The small light flickered, although very curious,

But it didn't interrupt, Yang Meng and Xiao Yin's communication,

Xiaoguang waited for dozens of seconds,

I saw Yang Meng let out a long breath:

"It's a bit inefficient to send probes to this planet!"

Seeing Yang Meng's voice, Xiaoguang asked:

"What did the probe find?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng didn't say much,

found a device on the side,

An image is projected out of it,

Looking at the content on the image, the small light flickered violently.
