Chapter 167 Mars Exploration

The huge tiankeng is dark, especially in the diverted magma, which is full of weirdness.

Even the most well-trained and experienced expedition team members will not easily enter such a cave in person.Chi Jia and others reported their findings. On the one hand, they sent drones into the Tiankeng cave for further investigation, and on the other hand, they continued to advance along the Sailor Valley and landed on the plateau in the middle of Sailor Valley.

The team members in individual armor came out of the landing ship one after another, and the first one to set foot on the Martian ground was naturally Captain Chi Jia.

Because the gravity is smaller than that on the earth, even with the adjustment function of the individual armor, the expedition members still feel that they are too easy to move, and they can jump tens of meters away with a light jump. This is the strength increase that they did not use the individual armor Case.

Some samples were taken and a few photos similar to tourists' photos were taken, but the team members' thoughts were not here. The huge tiankeng cave became a big mystery in everyone's mind.

Even Tashwei, who was most excited about arriving on Mars, had no interest at all at the moment, and said to Huang Quan, "There must be something under that big hole, otherwise it would be impossible to separate the magma."

Huang Quan shoveled away a stone with a tool, and saw a blue light inside. It was a very beautiful sapphire. Huang Quan put the gem in his pocket with a smile, and said, "Okay, don't think about it, don't worry about it. What we found below has nothing to do with us."

Tashvi shouted: "How could it have nothing to do with us? This is what we discovered."

Huang Quan sarcastically said: "Do you think it can benefit us? Don't say that we just saw the tiankeng. Such a discovery is not enough to provide us with any benefits. Maybe you can name the tiankeng cave instead."

"Okay, okay, even if it's a name."

The peculiar tiankeng cave on Mars also attracted Bai Zhongqi's attention at the first time.The drones dispatched by Chi Jia and other expedition members were not responsible for operating and monitoring themselves, but had their own dedicated personnel to handle them. Bai Zhongqi was also quietly watching the images sent back by the drones in Ruyi City.

The Tiankeng cave is not only large in diameter, tens of kilometers long, but its depth is also somewhat unexpected.

Bai Zhongqi squatted in front of the monitoring screen, pinched his beardless chin, and thought: "This big hole can't go all the way to the center of the earth."

Not long ago, what happened to Cui Haixing had cast a shadow on Bai Zhongqi's view of the center of the earth.Although the planetary life on Cui Haixing is in a state of chaotic consciousness, if it weren't for special detection methods, it would be impossible to know the difference between it and a normal planet.However, he didn't know that the planetary life with terrifying power, which was born hundreds of millions of years ago, made Bai Zhongqi full of vigilance for things that the Iridium people didn't understand.

When playing games, Bai Zhongqi is happy to see any unexpected situation, even if it might catch him off guard and force him to load the save file and start over again.But in reality, every unexpected discovery makes Bai Zhongqi nervous.

Unfortunately, this is the universe, a place full of infinite possibilities.Even if the Iridium United Empire is so powerful, it will still capsize in some kind of gutter. If Bai Zhongqi, as the head of state, makes a major mistake, it may even bring the empire to an end.

Dozens of dragonfly drones suddenly entered an open place after going tens of thousands of meters deep into the Tiankeng cave. At the same time, the body of the drone suddenly became extremely inflexible.

Bai Zhongqi narrowed his eyes and quickly found the reason.The sensors of the dragonflies show that the environment they live in is only 1.5 atmospheres of the earth.

The atmospheric pressure of Mars itself is lower than that of the earth, and as it enters the sinkhole and gradually goes deeper, the pressure on the drone will continue to increase.But I don't know why, after suddenly entering this open place, the atmospheric pressure actually changed drastically.

"These……"

At this time, Bai Zhongqi had seen the surrounding environment through Dragonfly's camera.He stood up from his seat abruptly, his eyes shining brightly.

"This is a man-made ecosystem." Mo Laitong, the director of the Imperial Academy of Sciences who was also looking at the surveillance images, recognized all this at a glance.

More pictures were transmitted, so that the holographic image in front of Bai Zhongqi could present him with a more complete pattern picture.In the picture, several dragonfly drones are flying high in the sky, as if hovering among the clouds.The entire zenith is covered with blue sky and white clouds, very similar to all the blue sky and white clouds in Ruyi City.

Relying on spectral scanning, the drone was able to find that it was directly above itself, which was the big hole they flew down from.But the man-made ecological system here covered the big hole. Although passing through was not a problem, it looked as if it didn't exist.

From the fake zenith to the "ground", the distance is about 800 kilometers, which is much larger than Yicheng's artificial ecological circle.

Mo Laitong was checking the detection data sent back by all the dragonflies, and said: "The fake star hanging on the zenith is actually glowing and heating, so this artificial ecosystem must still be maintained normally, and it is better than ours. The ecosystem system of Ruyi City is more realistic."

Bai Zhongqi watched this astonishing scene in silence. The first question that came into his mind was, why is there such a huge man-made ecosystem in the underground of Mars?

The environment here is obviously built to suit the living habits of primates, and there are various races in the galaxy that prefer different environments.Some races prefer an oxygen-rich environment, others prefer more sulfur or nitride in the air.Some favor an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide, and non-carbon-based animals are even more varied.

Bai Zhongqi made a decisive decision and sent more reconnaissance vehicles into the tiankeng.It took him nearly a day to finally figure out the scope of the artificial ecosystem under this huge tiankeng.

The area of ​​this underground man-made ecological circle is more than 4000 million square kilometers, with a complete topographical structure and rivers and lakes.Unlike the artificial ecosystem built by the Iridium people, there is actually no life here. There is soil on the ground, but there is no vegetation, let alone animals.Even in the sampled soil, no microbes were found, but it was full of organic matter.

And in this empty underground world, a huge building that leads from the "ground" to the "sky", that is to say, has a height of [-] kilometers, stands in the center of the underground artificial ecosystem.

This obvious man-made building should be the main control platform of the underground man-made ecosystem.It’s just that this building, like the towering Babel, looks a bit like a Mayan pyramid, with a square base, and the upper layer is another square formed by connecting the midpoints of four sides, and the upper layer is another square. The square formed by connecting the dots goes round and round until the highest point.

This huge building full of mystery made Bai Zhongqi first think of words like "temple" or "altar".But there is no doubt that this building has an extremely high level of technology, and is able to maintain a man-made ecological circle with an area of ​​more than 4000 million square kilometers.
