Xiao Xiao stood in front of the porthole, frowning slightly, "Tasia, this is a circular crater, and the black panther started to search around it,"

The black panther shuttled through the strange and gorgeous red mist.

The three-dimensional coordinate system in the cockpit has completed the terrain modeling. Considering that Gliese's spaceship should be at the bottom of the valley, Tasia manually drove the panther into the fog and went down. They needed to fly close to the bottom of the valley.

The dense fog outside the spaceship turned brown-red, covering the sky and the sun, which made the light at the bottom of the valley dim. Under the light beams of the spaceship lights, strange rocks appeared and disappeared in the dense fog.

The panther's flying speed immediately slowed down, appearing cautious.

As the spacecraft drilled into the volcanic canyon, radar detection returned more accurate modeling information, and the terrain in the valley was continuously corrected.

Suddenly, a flashing bright spot appeared on the radar detection screen—Gliese?

The panther carefully passed between the two strange rocks, and slowly approached the target following the radar instructions.

landed.

The dense fog filled the air. Although they still couldn't find Gliese's spaceship with the naked eye, according to the radar, the spaceship was within ten meters in front of the Panther.

"You are here to make preparations, I will go out and check first."

Xiao Xiao entered the isolation compartment, opened the hatch, and walked out.

The spacecraft's external detector transmits back the external environment parameters:

——The surface temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, and the altitude here is nearly 7000 meters. If calculated according to the relationship between the increase in altitude and the decrease in temperature by scientists, the temperature here should be minus 160 degrees in theory, but it has remained at 26 degrees. Celsius, it is conceivable that the temperature underground is higher.

——Oxygen content: At an altitude of 7000 meters, the density of the atmosphere has dropped below 50.00% of that on the ground, not to mention the crater, where other acidic and toxic gases are mixed.

Xiao Xiao walked outside the Gliese spaceship, and pressed the button at the bottom of the hatch, and the hatch opened.

He walked in and looked around, the cabin was empty.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help being a little puzzled, everything here is normal, there is no trace of fighting, it seems that they should have left the spaceship on their own initiative, but twelve hours have passed since now, and the protective clothing of the Noytes can only last for 24 hours at most, this The place is so big and the terrain is complicated, where can they go?
The conscious partner blew a low whistle, "Dude, those two Gwats won't be eaten by the volcano monster, right? One bite is not enough to fit between the teeth!"

"Well, it's quite a struggle to find out what happened to them now."

Xiao Xiao returned to Black Panther.

"Guys, Gliese and the pilot aren't in the ship. Heather and Mega are out with me, and Tasia stays in the ship to communicate with the Roger."

"John, I'm going too!"

"Tasia, I am the captain, and the captain's orders must be absolutely obeyed!"

Tasia pouted her brown red mouth and sat back in the driver's seat resentfully.

Heather stepped forward in a hazmat suit. "Captain, you must put on protective clothing."

"why?"

"This protective suit can not only withstand the high temperature and hypoxic environment, it is used in conjunction with the equipment we carry with us. This is a proton beam pistol, and this is a hydrogen ion traction rope," Heather stretched out her right hand, and the protective suit There is a round thickened button on the back of the hand, "Just press this place, you can launch a hydrogen ion traction beam at the target location, and your body can move there quickly."

The flaming red volcanic basalt surface and the sultry air dominated by sulfides have turned this place into a paradise for anaerobic organisms, and it is also an anaerobic organism paradise that has been undisturbed for hundreds of millions of years.

Carbon-based life cannot survive even a second here.

They changed their costumes and wore all kinds of super equipment.

When they left the spaceship and stepped on the surface of the basalt with red flame color, they were in the hot and humid volcanic canyon filled with sulfur oxide fog. They were curious, apprehensive, and excited. Indescribable emotions surged in their hearts.

Xiao Xiao noticed that the rock surface here was covered with a thick layer of red lichen.

They searched a little near the Gliese spacecraft, and found that there were very obvious footprints of two-legged creatures on the surface of the lichen. It was Gliese-they followed the footprints and searched out.

Xiao Xiao called through the built-in communicator of the protective clothing, "Tasia, please answer."

"Captain, received."

"Notify the mothership that Gliese's footprints were found in the Olympus crater area, and we will continue to track."

"Yes, Captain."

Immediately afterwards, Tasia's soft voice came from the whisper channel, "John, you have to be careful."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Honey, don't worry."

They crossed a clump of brown and red thorns stamped with tramples, and suddenly there appeared in front of them a babbling stream of blue and green.

Following Gliese's trail, they began to descend the stream.

A steep cliff appeared at the foot.

At a depth of 30 meters, the dazzling sun penetrates the fog and shines on the mirror-like smooth cliff.

The rock wall is shimmering with red light, and the stream is surging, gushing out from the top of the cliff, falling to the bottom of the cliff, and forming a deep bucket-shaped bitan.

Bitan is surrounded by colorful shrubs as big as giant mushrooms.

Among the thalli, they found Gliese's footprints.

Heather fired a hydrogen ion traction beam at a boulder next to Bitan, and the communicator switched to the whisper channel, "John, believe me, try it once and you'll never want to stop."

Xiao Xiao blinked, "Heather, I really enjoyed that first time and am happy to continue."

Heather suddenly flashed from the top of the cliff, and in a blink of an eye, her people had already reached the opposite strange rock.

A giggle came, "It's up to you."

Xiao Xiao followed suit, and the hydrogen ion traction beam pointed to the other side of the strange rock. With a flash, he appeared on the opposite side, "Honey, it's like magic, it's great!"

Immediately afterwards, the big potato Mega appeared at the foot of the strange rock.

Heather kicked off the strange rock and jumped to the ground.

She took out a needle-shaped instrument from the kit and dipped one end into Bitan. After about ten seconds, she completed the stream water detection.

"Gentlemen, this is a strong acidic metal solution, which contains a small amount of algae. You have to take care of yourselves. If you want to swim, the swimming pool of Planet Discovery is more comfortable."

They continued on Gliese's footsteps.

It seemed that Gliese, the big potato, was not at all easy to walk. He had to cut through the dense and burly thorns to make a path, but so far, they have not encountered any moving creatures.

The path stretches downwards and twists and turns.

Bypassing a pile of basalt rocks, a huge hole suddenly appeared in front of them due to the collapse of the basalt layer. It seemed to be ten meters high. The thick blue-green stream suddenly became turbulent and rushed forward.

Following Gliese's footsteps, they got into the cave.

The cave was filled with thick blue-green fog, and the light suddenly dimmed. There was a thunderous sound of running water in my ears, and the blue stream at my feet suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Xiao walked in the front, and the searchlight on the top of the protective suit automatically enhanced the illumination and emitted a beam of strong light.

The strong white light penetrated the fog and slowly swept across the strange world in front of him, revealing the general outline of the cave.

They looked down at their feet, and the blue-green water rushed out from their feet, and disappeared in the dense fog, only hearing the roar of running water coming from the unfathomable bottom of the cliff.

The radar detection of Xiao Xiao's conscious partner returned terrain parameters. "Heather, this is a cliff with a depth of more than 3000 meters. It is very dangerous. I suggest you stay here, and Mega and I go down." In fact, Xiao Xiao didn't even plan to take Mega down. Not optimistic.

"No, John, you don't want to abandon me, don't forget, I'm an interstellar biologist." Heather's blue eyes looked at him tenderly and firmly.

"Okay, if there is danger inside, you two should evacuate immediately." Xiao Xiao checked the three-dimensional coordinate model of the cave, "I'll go down to explore the way first, and you can come down after confirming it's safe."

Heather didn't insist anymore.

Xiao Xiao fired a hydrogen ion tractor beam toward the opposite cave wall at a 45-degree angle downward.

With a flash of his figure, in an instant, he was already clinging to the opposite rock wall like a bat.

Using the same method, he shuttled back and forth between the cave walls like photons, and after about a few minutes, his call came from the communicator of the protective suit, "Guys, come down, follow my route. I am on the cliff A landing guide light source is set at the bottom."

After a while, the three of them stood at the bottom of the cliff, looking up at this unusually spectacular volcanic waterfall.

With the movement of the beam of the overhead searchlight, a blue-green waterfall spewed down from the thick yellow fog. The waterfall fell into a dark pool at the bottom of the cliff, and the water turned downward, gushing from the other side, along the red The low-lying areas of the basalt formation flow out.

The eye windows of the protective suit returned to the ambient temperature - 35 degrees Celsius.

However, the protective clothing is insulated from heat and radiation, and the internal circulation temperature can be set.Usually the Noit people prefer within ten degrees, while the earthlings prefer around twenty degrees.

They found Gliese's footprints at the bottom of the cliff, and after a short search along the footprints, the waterfall behind them was already hidden behind basalt rocks, and the thick yellow mist dissipated a bit. Due to the rising external temperature, the eyes of the protective clothing A dense layer of red water mist condensed on the transparent mask of the window.

A spacious and flat river appeared in front of him, but it should be in the dry season now, and the water volume is not large.

Not long after walking, a pile of basalt rocks appeared in front of them, and the stream in front of them passed through the cracks of the rocks, and quietly disappeared in front of them.

Everyone stopped and began to search for Gliese's footprints.

Like engineer ants, they searched carefully for the red basalt rocks around the river with lights on.

This is an unusually quiet world, only the sound of the gurgling stream can be heard, but the stream is like a volcanic elf playing hide-and-seek with them.

Heather's excited voice came from the communicator, "There is a hole here. Well, there is a footprint. Gliese should have entered from here!"

Immediately afterwards, she added, "John, Mega, are behind you at nine o'clock."

It was an extremely narrow rock gap, and the potato-shaped figure of the Gewat needed to be slightly squeezed and passed sideways.

There is a very narrow tunnel hidden in the gap.

The white beams of the searchlights shone on the red rock walls on both sides of the tunnel. The rock walls seemed to be transparent, reflecting a strange rose-colored luster faintly.

It was very dark and quiet in there—in the silence of zero decibels, they could only hear their own heavy breathing and the beating of their hearts.

They walked hard along the gap for about half an hour, and the faint sound of water waves hitting the rock surface came from their ears—what kind of world is this? !
