"Is that ......?"

"Okay, I got it."

Zhang Shouquan hung up the phone, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Because he had a contact channel that the lighthouse couldn't ask for, Zhang Shouquan immediately contacted Yong Sun after discovering the Terracotta Warriors.

Huairen, the deputy on the other side of the phone, also told him the reply of the raven 1001 in the Eternal Day Communications Office in China in the consulate area:

[This is an opportunity]

He didn't know what that meant.

It is impossible to know that this is what Chen Sheng, the leader who knows the background setting of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, told Raven 1001 in the legendary zone with the Starfire chat group.

But this overly concise reply did make Zhang Shouquan deeply understand why the riddlers in those fantasy works are hated.

It's really a riddler, and there is something hateful about it.

Suffer others, be happy yourself.

Yongday's words that people seemed to understand but did not understand, which made Zhang Shouquan sincerely feel a mixture of excitement and entanglement.

If only guess based on the superficial meaning of this sentence.

Eternal Day probably wanted to say that it would not interfere with this operation? And this harvest on Mars will also be an opportunity for the four of them?

But......

Is it really what it seems?

So what are the opportunities?

Are they going to do something in this process?

Countless doubts kept flashing through the depths of my heart.

made Zhang Shouquan feel more and more helpless and tired about the Riddler's behavior.

"In any case, at least Eternal Day will most likely not have any obstacles to what we are about to do on Mars for the time being."

Zhang Shouquan muttered, making such a judgment for the time being.

As long as there is no explicit obstruction.

Then they can at least continue to explore.

He was really curious about the terracotta warriors.

In the process of exploration after this, all kinds of details will always be revealed in front of them.

"Opportunity...... Is it? ”

Looking at the stars in the night sky, curiosity flashed in Zhang Shouquan's eyes.

IMMEDIATELY, HE RETURNED TO BNULM'S COMMAND CENTER AFTER A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

I saw that the BNULM command center at this moment was busy under the command of Gary Hall according to the instructions before he came out.

A manned vehicle preparing for an imminent landing near Mount Olympus.

For the terracotta warriors and horses phalanx, the four people on the manned aircraft will conduct in-depth research at close range.

In the BNULM command center, the relevant calculations are being carried out rapidly.

The four astronauts on board the manned spacecraft, with the cooperation of BNULM, repeatedly confirmed the safety of each structure on the aircraft.

As a non-professional, Zhang Shouquan, like Hansen of the Extraordinary Research Alliance, chose to quietly watch the busyness of everyone without interference.

[Confirmation of landing location - Mount Olympus]

[The specific coordinates are 18.65 degrees north latitude, 226.2 degrees east longitude]

【Calibrating position】

[Buffer device is being checked]

[After the inspection, prepare to leave the orbit of Mars]

In the midst of a series of announcements and the prepared replies of several astronauts on the manned vehicle.

The manned vehicle officially began landing under the command of the BNULM command center.

After several fine-tunings, the manned vehicle officially broke through into the Martian atmosphere at a speed of 4.8 kilometers per second.

Mars is also surrounded by an atmosphere, similar to Earth's. The main component of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide, followed by nitrogen and argon, in addition to small amounts of oxygen and water vapor.

The resistance of friction with the air brings a lot of fire and heat to the periphery of the heat shield of the manned aircraft.

However, the Martian atmosphere is less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere.

This makes the process of frictional heat generation less intense.

This also makes the part of the kinetic energy converted into internal energy of the manned vehicle not much, so that the speed of its descent does not decrease too much because of this.

Seeing that it is about to fall on the surface of Mars,

But fortunately, all this was expected by the BNULM command center.

This factor has been taken into account for a long time.

As long as you reach the right location, you can start the other cushioning measures one after another.

It's just that under the communication with a delay of several minutes, the BNULM command center naturally cannot command the landing process of the manned vehicle in real time.

Everything mainly depends on the operation of several excellent astronauts on the manned vehicle and the intelligent brain system.

Soon.

BNULM received several messages one after another.

[The power system has been turned on and is giving impetus in reverse]

[The speed is decreasing]

【Reach the predetermined height】

[Release the parachute, throw away the heat shield]

[Preparing for landing, recoil rocket starting]

[The landing gear is opened, and the parachute is separated]

[Hover to avoid obstacles, confirm that it is correct]

【Landing complete!】 】

"Manned aircraft, this is the BNULUNN command center, please report on your situation."

As the top leader, Gary Hall almost immediately sent an inquiry to Mars.

In a period of pent-up excitement waiting.

A reply from the manned vehicle came a few minutes later:

[It has landed safely, and there are no casualties among Qiya Wiebener, Dieter Rong, Giovanni Gabrielli, and Sun Hongcheng, and they are checking whether all aspects of the structure of the manned aircraft have been damaged. 】

[After the inspection is completed, the rover will be released to survey the surrounding environment and confirm the specific location of the landing now.] 】

Hearing this, the corners of Gary Hall's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

Zhang Shouquan and Hansen on the side also couldn't help but smile with relief.

None of the four astronauts had an accident.

The manned vehicle only has the landing gear slightly distorted due to the landing, which can be easily repaired in terms of the resources on the manned vehicle and the professional ability of several astronauts.

Overall there are no major problems.

At this moment, no matter how complicated everyone's mood was before, they all stood up excitedly at this time.

They applauded.

Not for others, but for yourself.

This time, the four-nation joint landing plan on Mars.

Even with the technical support after the progress and the logistics support of the four-nation alliance, it will still be a long and arduous battle.

It was the world's largest collaborative research program before the recent Future Energy Agency's plan to study controlled nuclear fusion.

In order to deal with the threat of the abyss, which will come on a large scale sooner or later, humanity urgently needs more resources to support technological development.

The four countries have spent a lot of effort and energy on this sincere cooperation.

But it's all worth it in this moment.

The news of the successful landing made many scholars who had worked hard for this project cheer.

Gary Hall looked at the cheering crowd and didn't bother.

Instead, they quietly waited for a reply from the manned aircraft.

Not long.

The information of the manned vehicle was transmitted back again.

Everyone in the BNULM command center also consciously quieted down.

[There was no significant structural damage to the manned aircraft, only slight distortion and deformation on the landing gear. 】

[The rover has surveyed the surrounding environment and is currently twenty kilometers away from the terracotta region where the terracotta warriors were discovered on Mount Olympus. 】

[Enough to walk back and forth to the area twice while wearing a state-of-the-art spacesuit.] 】

[In terms of manned aircraft, apply to go out of the cabin and move in the direction of the Terracotta Warriors. 】

See such information.

Zhang Shouquan took over the command from Gary Hall and issued instructions to the manned vehicle:

"Colonel Sun Hongcheng, I allow you to drive the [Heart Ape Concussion Mecha Change] out of the cabin and immediately set off to explore the Terracotta Warriors area."

"The rest of the people carried out repairs on the manned vehicle and sampled and analyzed the surrounding materials."

Zhang Shouquan said seriously.

The Chinese side naturally attaches great importance to the four-nation joint landing plan on Mars.

In particular, Zhang Shouquan, after experiencing the relevant events on the moon, once doubted whether there were footprints of eternal day in all corners of the solar system.

Will there be some relics left by the eternal day that will shock the world?

So, after a lot of consideration.

A [Heart Ape Concussion Mecha Modification] modified for factors such as the space environment was directly sent to the manned vehicle by the Dayhunting Bureau.

It is also thanks to the currently upgraded space technology that the manned vehicle can be made so large that it surpasses the ordinary space station, and it can be allowed to take such a big guy into space together.

With the [Heart Ape Concussion Mecha Change] to rush the road, the distance of twenty kilometers is just a fleeting moment.

At the same time, it can also ensure that the personnel who go to investigate will be able to ensure their safety when facing some special circumstances.

After all, it has been proven in various experiments that this mecha can be said to be powerful because of the technology that came from the Eternal Day's almsgiving.

As a psionic technology that has been painstakingly researched by borrowing the abilities of the three transcendent monsters in the wooden box, it can really tear the tank by hand.

The special concussive power from the ape in the wooden box gave this mecha a powerful destructive power.

The blessings from many spiritual cultivators have made it quite resistant in the spiritual and spiritual realm.

Equipped with the [Wuneng Stand] and [Wujing Liquid Bondage Net] researched on the other two monsters in the wooden box.

It is against the psionic people who have just entered the second-level spiritual power level, so it can be said that it is not a problem.

If you drive such a big guy, some ordinary difficulties should be fearless.

[Sun Hongcheng received it, and all the astronauts of the manned vehicle received it.] 】

[The entire exploration process will be transmitted to the BNULM command center in real time in the form of graphics and text.] 】

A few minutes later, a corresponding reply came from the manned vehicle.

Everyone in the BNULM command center also sat down and waited for the live broadcast on Mars.

Not long.

Graphic information began to come back regularly every minute.

All the scholars in the BNULM command center also watched everything that was happening on Mars from an almost real-time live perspective.

……………………………………

Look around.

Everywhere there is barren Martian rubble.

Every now and then, a puff of Martian dust blinds the eyes.

Sun Hongcheng skillfully drove the [Heart Ape Concussion Mecha Change] and did not stop because of the harsh environment here.

Before coming to Mars, he had received some instructions on how to use the mech, and even said that he himself was a practitioner of the Spiritual Cultivation Method.

Therefore, for the control of mechas, he can be said to be proficient.

The surface, which is a little orange-red due to the hematite (iron oxide) covering, did not sink due to the passing of [Heart Ape Concussion Mecha Change].

This is not only because Mars' gravity is only 0.38 times that of Earth.

It is also because this mecha has been modified by the professionals of the Dayfinder Bureau before it was sent to space.

Except that after sacrificing some of the power of [Concussion], it has become lighter overall.

Some special structures have also been added.

It can not only move freely in the Martian environment with high radiation, low air pressure and low gravity and protect the pilots inside, but also greatly improve the overall endurance and driving ability of the mecha.

Looking at the outside world through the big screen in front of you.

After a long time of the same orange-red landscape, a completely different scenery finally appeared in front of me.

As Sun Hongcheng stopped, he slightly lifted the dust in front of him.

He vaguely saw a new picture in front of him that seemed to be endless.

It's terracotta!

It is 129,600 carved terracotta warriors and horses in front of you!

The astonishing sight that the four astronauts saw in orbit around Mars using the orbiter was presented to him at this moment.

He forced his excitement to resist.

The task of regularly conveying graphic information to BNULM is completed by the intelligent system inside [Heart Ape Concussion Mecha Change], and he only needs to occasionally add some of his own subjective thoughts.

So at this moment, Sun Hongcheng only needed to cautiously approach those terracotta warriors and horses to observe.

The mecha, which had been reduced and modified to a height of five meters, approached this terracotta phalanx in a few steps.

It can only be found at this distance.

How vivid is this terracotta warrior phalanx.

Each terracotta figurine looks so exquisite, and every detail on its body is an art worthy of repeated appreciation.

Each one of them was so brand new, as if the sand and wind on Mars had not left any signs of wear and tear on them.

Maybe......

They really reappeared in the world after the so-called Starry Sky Ancient Road was opened.

And although these terracotta warriors and horses look very similar to those in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang on the earth, even if they are not tested by scientific means for age and materials, it is completely certain that they are the products of the Qin Dynasty on the earth.

But the shape, clothing, and movements of these terracotta warriors and horses are very different.

Sun Hongcheng is not an expert, but he can be sure that these clothing styles should be very similar to the Qin Dynasty on earth, but they are a little different.

The specific judgment has to be left to the experts.

In addition to this, he also discovered.

In the large phalanx of the entire terracotta army, there are many small phalanxes that seem to be hunting a giant creature.

The terracotta warriors and horses in the small phalanx cooperate in the encirclement in one direction, pointing at the center of the encirclement with various weapons that resemble spears but most likely not.

It's a pity that there are no sculptures of the giant creatures they hunt in these terracotta warriors.

Sun Hongcheng observed for a moment.

After ensuring that enough graphic information was transmitted back to the earth, they headed towards the center of the entire large terracotta warrior phalanx.

In the image that the orbiter had seen earlier, there was a figure of a huge stone pillar, like a formation.

Sun Hongcheng planned to go there first.

As for these terracotta warriors, he did not take samples without authorization, considering the existence of Eternal Day.

After all, sampling ...... It means a certain amount of destruction of these terracotta warriors.

If all of this is something left over from the Eternal Day, it's not a good thing for them to destroy it.

Even if it's just scraping a little dust, you don't dare to do it easily.

Therefore, Sun Hongcheng cautiously walked through the terracotta warriors and horses.

Fortunately, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Phalanx was not too crowded, and he managed to avoid every Terracotta Warrior and Horse Warriors and Horses and Horses and Horses Warrior

Over there.

In the center of the phalanx where all the terracotta warriors and horses gathered, there was an open area.

There are many stone pillars here.

Build a building like Stonehenge.

A number of large pillar-shaped stones are stacked together in a regular manner, forming a circular open space surrounded by stone pillars.

On each stone pillar, there is a small seal written on the word "road".

Apparently.

This stone pillar building is a key place!

Maybe this should be the so-called Starry Sky Ancient Road!

Sun Hongcheng was in good spirits.

THEN WALK AROUND THE BUILDING, WHICH IS MUCH LARGER THAN STONEHENGE, AND PASS THE RELEVANT PICTURE INFORMATION BACK TO THE BNULN.

Then, through the huge gap in the stone pillars, he entered the circular clearing in the middle.

I saw that the ground here is not the orange-red soil of Mars.

It is made of the same gray-black material as the air-leaking walls of the surrounding stone pillars.

And there are obvious carvings on the ground.

An "S"-shaped line splits it in half from the middle of this circular clearing, like a Taiji diagram without yin and yang fisheyes.

On the ground in half of them.

It depicts layers of parallel planes, each of which is carved with many strange-shaped creatures.

It looks like a naïve perception of a pluralistic world.

And on the ground in the other half.

It depicts an accurate pattern of the solar system, and in addition to the solar system pattern, it is changed to a scale, and the location and distribution of the planets are accurately depicted with some small dots.

Sun Hongcheng looked at everything in front of him.

While silently passing back the picture information.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At first glance, the things depicted here are the worldview cognition of the ancients with outrageous accuracy.

Half is the cognition of the pluralistic world, and the other half is the cognition of the universe and planets.

But after thinking about it carefully, Sun Hongcheng suddenly vaguely understood one thing: if this building with huge stone pillars is a "road", then these patterns on the ground may be a map?

It wouldn't be strange to think of a map where there is a "road", right?

And on top of this not too complicated map.

Leave aside the many planes that might represent other worlds.

Sun Hongcheng is assured by his astronomical knowledge as an elite astronaut.

He could tell which planet it was.

Each one of them is the planet that Du Xing once heard the hint of [Starry Sky Ancient Road to Open].

Let's take a look at it in this connection.

Everything becomes a little difficult to think about.

This so-called starry sky ancient road may really allow people to reach different planets in the distant universe.

It can even take people to different worlds on the map.

So......

This force with traces of the Qin Dynasty, this force that may have the influence of eternal day, its territory may be a little beyond imagination.
