"It's huge!" Whether it is Xiaoguang or Yang Meng,

That's when they first feel when they see the data coming back from the probe.

The length of the porous charcoal sponge fungus encountered before is more than 10 kilometers, which is already unimaginable.

But the length of the polypore found this time is more than 120 kilometers,

its thickness, light is not observable by optical means,

However, the thickness of this polypore can be detected by the sonar callback of the underwater probe is more than 15 kilometers.

This size, this thickness has exceeded the scope of what the earth's marine environment can carry.

To know that on Earth,

The deepest part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench, which is about 11,000 to 12,000 meters deep.

The average depth is only 11 kilometers.

But it's a deep trench after all.

If this polypore fungus were placed on the earth, a huge island would be formed just by the part that outcrops from the sea.

And such a huge island,

It also leads to a problem,

What is the average depth of the oceans on a planet where the sea occupies more than 90% of the total area?

Although he has advanced detectors, until now, Yang Meng has not accurately detected the depth of the planet's ocean.

Only an approximate figure can be obtained, and the sea here is very deep, and its depth can exceed 30 km.

Although this polypore fungus looks very large in terms of data,

But after all, just watching on the screen,

What really surprised Yang Meng and Xiaoguang was the structure of this polypore fungus.

Most of the polypores encountered before were solitary individuals.

And this polypore fungus seems to be a combination of multiple polypore bacteria,

Some polypores are tightly combined with the main part,

And some parts,

There is a cylindrical thing that connects the main body to the smaller polypore.

It is the appearance of this green cylinder that makes the small light flicker.

"It's not like it's natural!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's remarks, Yang Meng nodded lightly,

"Indeed, if there is no external intervention in such a large structure of polypore,

It is obviously unrealistic to have a stable existence on such a planet with a complex environment! ”

Although the oceans of this planet are deep,

can carry something larger structure,

But after these few days of detection,

The complexity of the planet's environment is far more complex than Yang Meng expected.

There are many varied windless zones on the ocean,

The currents at all depths under the ocean crisscross and crisscross,

If it weren't for the existence of a porous structure inside the polypore that adapts to the planet, and by adjusting the direction of ocean currents through the pores,

Thus reaching the level of utilization of ocean currents.

Well, such a huge polypore fungus has long been swept away by complex ocean currents.

And now we see that this unprecedented super-large complex polypore fungus, and there is an unnatural structure on it,

Yang Meng knew that he had found his goal,

"That faint signal is likely to come from above!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng thought of the metal balls he had encountered before, as well as the death-like lifeforms that existed in them.

Looking at such a huge structure again, his heart moved slightly,

"There should be someone alive up there!"

"Xiao Yin! Let the probe explore discreetly! ”

"Understood!"

With Yang Meng's instructions,

Xiao Yin operated the detector, found a hole, and then drilled into it.

The scene inside the hole is the same as the polypore fungus explored before, it is a pitch-black scene,

And this time, the detector did not turn on any lights in the face of this environment.

Rather, it is determined by microwave reflection to determine the surrounding environment, carefully going deeper,

However, it didn't take long for the probe to discover that

In a large number of holes, there are several holes with flickering light sources,

Under the command of Yang Meng, the detector headed towards the brightest light source.

As the probe entered the hole, it quickly encountered something;

"It's a metal ball!"

As the detector saw the light source clearly, a small light flickered on the side:

"And it's a moving metal ball!"

Just when Yang Meng and Xiaoguang noticed this metal ball,

Xiao Yin's prompt sound sounded in Yang Meng's ears:

"Attention, strong current fluctuations have been detected, and we are trying to avoid them!"

Before Yang Meng could react, Xiao Yin controlled the detector to hide in a hole above.

And the detector has just entered the hole,

The camera device located under the detector,

Then I saw the metal ball moving through the hole below,

And as the metal ball moves,

A more obvious and terrifying sight appeared,

Based on the previous probe data,

The metal balls they found were of the same size, with a diameter of about 100 meters.

And such a large ball rolls in this small hole,

is bound to squeeze the surrounding environment,

In the image sent back by the detector, it can be clearly seen that

When the metal ball passes,

The passage where the probe was hiding was crushed to the point of distortion.

But Yang Meng, who saw this situation, frowned, before he wanted to go and explore here by himself.

But seeing the way the metal ball moved, he realized that if he entered this large polypore, he was afraid that he would face the risk of being crushed.

At this time, the detector returned to the passage where the metal ball rolled, and Xiao Guang looked at the metal ball that was far away from the screen, and asked aloud:

"Is this a way of moving, your people's technology?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, he didn't answer the question, because he didn't know very well what this mobile technology was.

But looking at the channel in the screen that has been enlarged several times by the metal sphere and is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye,

He found that this mobile technology presented a more difficult problem.

The metal balls that have been discovered before are in a non-moving state.

It's not hard to do some probing work on those stationary metal balls.

But it is very difficult to do some internal detection of a moving metal sphere.

"There must be something alive in there!"

"But how do you probe it inside?"

Yang Meng didn't think much time in his heart

Seeing that the metal sphere is about to disappear from the field of vision,

He immediately gave instructions to Xiao Yin to operate the underwater probe and follow behind the metal ball from a distance.

"Maybe you'll find something with this thing?"

The metal ball doesn't move fast,

This makes it easy for the detector to track the metal ball.

About half an hour later, a small light flashed in front of the screen and said:

"Another metal ball!"

In the process of following the metal sphere, the detector finally found another moving metal ball.

From the detector's point of view,

This new metal sphere emerges from a hole on the left.

Passing by the metal ball tracked by the detector,

and any stay or other behavior,

Soon disappeared into a hole on the right side of the detector,

The new metal ball also made Yang Meng completely confirm one thing,

It was this metal ball, far more than he had expected.

"What do these metal balls do?" The little light on the side saw that the detector continued to follow the previous metal orb, and asked with a flash:

"Effect?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng shook his head gently, and he couldn't guess its effect.

"One thing is certain, though, the existence of these metal orbs has a lot to do with my clansmen!"

Seeing Yang Meng say this, Xiaoguang flickered and continued to ask:

"So, where do you think that one of your people is? What are you doing? ”

For this kind of problem, Yang Meng is also very puzzled,

"Is it in some metal ball?"

For this kind of speculation, Yang Meng couldn't be sure, so he could only wait for the results of the detector's investigation.

……

The detector follows the metal sphere and continues to move forward.

Another hour passed,

The surroundings have also undergone some changes,

A cave that originally required the efforts of a metal ball to prop up,

It seems that because the metal ball moves around from time to time, it is not so compact.

Because the holes around it have become a little loose,

The metal orb also moves a little faster.

"Another metal ball!"

Looking at the ball moving in front of him, the little light flashed and said:

"The frequency of orbs seems to be getting higher, we should be getting close to somewhere!"

Listening to the voice of the little light,

Yang Meng didn't say much, but continued to stare at the screen,

Within an hour and a half of the detector's entry into the large compound polypore,

He deeply realized what the size of the length of 120 kilometers is.

If only in terms of data, 120 kilometers is a very small size in the universe.

But if you put this size on the earth,

Its length is almost the maximum width of a large island in the southeast,

However, it is precisely because of such a large structure that these moving metal balls can move smoothly and in large sizes, as small as ants.

"As Xiaoguang said, we should be about to reach an important location!"

Looking at the metal balls that appear more and more frequently,

Yang Meng was also a little worried about whether the detector would be discovered.

Even if the detector keeps driving against the wall of the cave, it will hide in the smaller hole if there is a slight danger.

However, as the frequency of metal balls increases, the risk of exposure increases.

Just when Yang Meng was worried about whether the detection could go smoothly,

The scene ahead has finally changed,

The holes around them began to grow larger and wider,

The metal sphere is also not squeezing the surrounding space, and the holes around it seem to have become some kind of hard structure.

Seeing this, Yang Meng also understood what he was going to see, and the small light on the side also flickered.

The next moment,

With the metal ball, drill through the hole in front of it, without the shield of the metal ball,

The field of view of the detector suddenly became wider.

A huge space was presented in front of Yang Meng's eyes,

And in this space, Yang Meng saw a very familiar thing at a glance:

"It's ...... Wide Area Silence! ”

Xiaoguang on the side saw that Yang Meng was stunned, and asked with a flash:

"What is this?"

"Her spaceship!"

"Then she's here!"

Looking at the space, the very complete spaceship, Yang Meng's heart became complicated.

He didn't answer Xiaoguang's question,

He wasn't sure what state he would find her in next.

Life or death, or something else.

It was also when Yang Meng lost his mind,

Xiao Yin's hurried prompt sound suddenly sounded in his ears,

"Attention! Two metal balls are heading towards the detector! ”

"According to the path calculation, the detector will be damaged, and we are trying to dodge!"

"Warning! The path of the metal sphere has changed! ”

"After judgment, the location of the detector may be exposed, and an exit is being attempted!"

……

A series of prompt tones suddenly brought Yang Meng back to his senses,

At this point, the probe has drilled into a smaller hole above the space,

Through the camera device under the detector,

I saw that there were three metal balls, slowly stopping at the bottom of the hole,

"There's even a metal ball detector that hasn't noticed!"

"What do you think these metal balls are going to do to the detector?"

Thinking that the situation is not clear today,

Yang Meng asked Xiao Yin to operate the underwater probe, enter a narrower passage, and hide temporarily.

In the process of hiding the detector, Yang Meng sorted out the data he had just collected,

Because of the loss of consciousness just now, he didn't carefully observe the situation in the space.

So he found the video he had just detected and looked at it carefully through playback.

The space in which the Wide Area Silence is located is not very large.

Xiao Yin obtained through a simple comparison of time differences,

The volume of this space is less than 1000 cubic meters,

The spaceship has taken up a large part of this space,

In addition to spaceships,

There are 16 metal spheres in this space

There were four metal balls underneath the ship.

And there are four thick black pipes that are connected to the ship.

Looking at this appearance, Yang Meng understood that these metal balls were most likely driven by electricity.

Charging is taking place at this time.

After all, the spacecraft of the pioneer astronauts were equipped with fusion reactors, and the electricity generated by fusion energy is almost unlimited.

"So it seems that the humanoid creatures in these metal spheres also know how to maintain fusion devices!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng frowned slightly,

The maintenance technology of fusion devices was very sophisticated and complex on Earth a hundred years ago.

In particular, the enrichment and extraction technology of nuclear fuel requires a strong industrial base.

Adding fuel to a fusion device is not an easy task.

Fortunately, hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.

The question of the source of fusion fuel is not difficult, and the most important thing on this planet is water, and there is no material problem.

"If you spread the technology...... What exactly is she doing? ”

Yang Meng looked at the replay video, his heart was full of doubts,

At this time, the playback video had been played, and his heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I'm afraid it's a lot of trouble to explore this place?" Xiao Guang on the side saw Yang Meng's calm face and said with a flickering face.

Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng groaned for a while and said:

"Let's first detect the metal balls before, those metal balls are not in a moving state, and there may be something to be found there."
