Beneath Deep Space

"Why did area B11 collapse? Why?!"

During the emergency meeting on the Noah, Xu Yunjin almost roared with a livid face.

A huge pit with a diameter of five kilometers suddenly appeared on the satellite image, revealing dense caves like a honeycomb structure!

Within a few minutes, large-scale landslides were triggered one after another, filling the pit back again...

Xu Yunjin has a very impatient temper and is not as gentle and reserved as Yu Yifeng. When encountering this kind of thing, I got angry all of a sudden, and I was almost anxious to the point of being unable to suppress it.

Especially... Their leader Yu Yifeng was also caught up in it. He originally just went down to investigate, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing!

With Xu Yunjin's character, he was good as the security minister. The soldiers below were afraid of him to death, and they were all trained to be obedient by him.

However, being a civilized leader is far from enough. Now that Yu Yifeng fell into a hole and lost contact temporarily, he could only stand up and convene this emergency meeting.

"Who can tell me how deep this hole is?!"

In the three years beforehand, everyone had prepared a lot for this landing, and had thought about a lot of possible dangerous situations.

For example: acid rain, extreme cold, earthquakes, toxic atmosphere, etc., and even weird creatures such as aliens and bugs are taken into consideration.

Moreover, two months have passed smoothly... without any crisis.

People never thought that this strange planet would have such continuous underground caves!

These caves even stretch across the entire continent, which is absolutely abnormal and unreasonable!

Such a geological structure is definitely not something that can be created by normal nature. It must be a masterpiece of life!

However, Xu Yunjin subconsciously believed that it was the scientists who failed to do their job well that caused the disaster to happen unexpectedly.

After a long while, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a bad tone: "...All mining work has stopped now. Don't worry about other things for now. The most important thing now is to rescue people!"

"We have activated the satellite system to monitor the area in all directions, and we also want to transfer a large number of robots and excavators into the B11 area via trains..."

"However, due to the large-scale collapse of the railway, the transportation work is not very smooth. Even the crawler truck can only move slowly on the rough road... Slow, it is too slow! Is there anything else that is better and faster? way?"

Many scientists below, especially many geologists, were scolded. Their faces were slightly red, but they secretly slandered in their hearts. Fortunately, the person in power was the lenient Yu Yifeng. If Xu Yunjin took over the power and became a dictatorship, people would have to rebel.

Call them aggrieved, but there are some. Anyone who sees a weird cave will only subconsciously think that it is similar to the kind on the earth. A continuous mountain range is not bad, and it cannot extend to dozens of kilometers.

Moreover, they were not allowed to explore and did not know the exact depth. Even extremely smart people would not know that this cave even covers the bottom of the flight base more than ten kilometers away...

But no matter what, they are geologists!

Since you are a geologist, you must bear part of this responsibility.

"Minister Xu, we can use airships for transportation..."

The speaker was Dr. Rimbaud.

He and Xu Yunjin had a little more contact and were relatively familiar with each other. At this time, he mustered up the courage to stand up and said: "There are currently more than 2,600 aerial boats on the ground, and they should be mobilized for transportation."

"Also, don't panic too much. After all, we have contacted Captain Yu and the others, and it's nothing serious. There are more than a hundred people, and they can take care of each other. The supplies we brought are quite sufficient..."

"What I'm worried about is not supplies, but another landslide caused by the engine explosion!"

Xu Yunjin immediately interrupted him and said decisively: "That's it, we immediately mobilize a large number of airship transport robots, and then focus on conducting distributed searches from the cave location in Area B11."

"Also, put half of the airships on the Noah down, no, 70%! Send some spaceships down as well, be careful not to stop at the collapsed location, the nuclear engine is likely to explode!"

"...The correspondent will keep in touch and see if we can get in touch again!"

Orders were issued in confusion. At the end of the sentence, Xu Yunjin himself was stunned. In fact, he had no idea who should give the work to specifically!

When he actually sat in this position, there were too many things to consider. Just assigning people made him feel like his head would explode.

Fortunately, he still knew many great scientists and engineers, so he could only let them divide the work among themselves.

The disaster continues...

"Don't worry, everyone, our oxygen reserve is more than 400 hours, and there is enough water and food... If necessary, you can get it from the crawler vehicle, but it must be sterilized by high-temperature steam above 400 degrees beforehand!"

Yu Yifeng walked at the front of the team, followed by more than a hundred people and three bus-sized tracked vehicles.

The caves here range from large to small. Some are wide enough for traffic, while some are only as narrow as a fist. I don’t know how they were formed.

Walking in the quiet cave, it was dark and humid, with only the blue fungus emitting an extremely weak light.

But such a small amount of light is not even as good as a firefly, and it is completely impossible to illuminate the road in front of you.

This is not a big problem. The power armor's helmet is equipped with a night vision function, as long as there is a small amount of light.

This place is 500 meters underground, but it is the survival paradise of the Knicks. The average temperature is above six degrees Celsius, there is sufficient moisture, and the geothermal energy is also quite abundant.

A few scientists were even a little fanatical in their excitement. They looked around and kept talking to each other. They had no sense of panic at all... They had gradually adapted to the dark environment here.

There is a tall man in the sky, Yu Yifeng is here, and there are twenty soldiers, how can you be afraid of nothing? !

Coupled with such abundant supplies, it feels a bit like an outing...

"...The oxygen content is slightly higher than that on the surface, indicating that this is a place where oxygen is produced. The air also contains a small amount of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. We humans cannot breathe for a long time, otherwise we will be poisoned. But these toxic gases are indeed plants and fungi energy source, plus geothermal energy..."

"It's amazing, it's really amazing. Such an ecosystem can completely support the reproduction of large organisms!" These scientists became more and more excited as they talked. Their brows were furrowed tightly, but their bodies were almost dancing. When they think about exploring this unknown, they feel an inexplicable numbness in their hearts.

“These life forms are using geothermal energy beyond our imagination!”

"But how were these caves formed? This is almost an unsolved mystery! There can't be a civilization in the innermost part of the caves, right? It's impossible... We found no satellites on the surface of Nyx. Not even satellites How could a civilization like this dig such a hole?”

Perhaps...these fascinating mysteries will be revealed during this exploration!

"Okay, be quiet, the captain is choosing a direction..."

Yu Yifeng looked at the compass in his hand. Of course he knew the specific direction of the exit of Area B11.

The magnetic field strength of the planet Nix is ​​11 times that of the Earth, so even without satellites, the compass can still be used.

But here comes the question, such a hole is not straight forward, so which one should you choose?

Which one is the correct exit?

He turned around and started discussing with some geographers.
