Star Railway: From being adopted by Kafka

Chapter 105

The demolition of the pyramids is over.

The moment the sun shone into the tiankeng, a roaring sound was heard inside.

Immediately, a puff of black smoke came out.

After a quick test, it was spores released by an unknown fungus.

There is no doubt that photophobic mushrooms are abundant underground.

There is a lot of water at the bottom of the tiankeng, and the steaming of the sun makes the water vapor diffuse up and mix with those black spores, making it difficult for the sun to reach the bottom.

These mushrooms have evolved mechanisms for self-protection.

"Do you want to go down?" Ting Yun looked at the deep pit with black smoke rolling below, and asked a little uneasy.

"The truth is below." Chu Mu said softly, "I just don't know how many truths are buried below."

"Amu, I don't allow you to go down." Kafka said seriously, "It's fine for me and Silver Wolf to go down."

Silver Wolf: "..."

Chu Mu said leisurely:

"Is there a possibility that the robot is equipped with remote video recording."

When Kafka heard this, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile:

"Then I'm relieved, I'll leave it all to Little Silver Wolf."

"Cut." Silver Wolf snorted coldly, and began to remotely control a team of robots into the deep pit.

……

There are 230 floors of caves in the deep pit.

The first five floors were under the jurisdiction of the previous chief. The cave dug here is relatively wide, with a diameter of almost two meters, which is enough for normal people to walk upright in it.

The people here have darker skin because they can go up to the ground.

Further down, the residents below the fifth floor cannot be exposed to the sun, and their skin color is lighter.

However, the natives here have brown skin, even if it is light, it is still a light brown, which is determined by genes.

These tribesmen stood at the gap in the cave, looking at the three-meter-tall robots with fear.

In the dark dense fog, the eyes of these robots all shone with a faint red light.

At this moment, inside the Star Destroyer, Kafka and the others are watching the image sent back by the robot.

The image is divided into several areas, one of which is a heat source sensor, and it can be seen how many living people there are in this cave.

There used to be a giant tree here, and every huge gap on the inner wall of the deep pit corresponds to a branch of the giant tree.

The former tribal people lived in these naturally formed caves.

But since they had iron picks, they were able to dig out layers of caves. The original giant tree structure was completely destroyed, and now it looks more like an ant nest.

The first five layers of caves have the most people, almost 7000 people.

Further down, there are fewer cave people, about a hundred people per floor.

Many narrow caves are uninhabitable, but mines formed by digging gold sand.

These tribal people have no plans at all, and mines are everywhere.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a light source underground.

There is an ore here that can emit fluorescence.

The inspection team 100 years ago identified this ore and determined that it contained certain radioactive elements.

If you are under the influence of this radiation source for a long time, the probability of gene mutation is very high.

However, compared to the sun that can dry people on the surface, the radiation underground is really nothing.

That's [-] years of life lost, and the probability of newborn deformation is a little higher.

In fact, the sand starfish is not without mineral resources, on the contrary, the expedition team found a variety of minerals here.

However, these minerals are too scattered.

They are evenly distributed in the sand and gravel of the sand starfish in the form of slag.

Minerals are worthless if they cannot be concentrated and mined together.

Some geologists left such comments after exploring the sand starfish:

"The surface here seems to have been crushed concentratedly, and then spread evenly on the surface of the planet. All the minerals are broken into slag, they are everywhere, but they are worthless."

It is precisely because of this that the mining of indigenous people does not require any planning.

There is a large reserve of pyrite here, and basically every square of soil excavated can find a little bit of debris.

The natives regarded it as gold dust, and Norton took it as gold dust.

But Chu Mu and others know that this is not real gold sand, but worthless pyrite.

After the tribal people knew the truth, they resented Norton for deceiving them.You are so kind, why don't you just send us the food?Instead, let us dig this so-called gold sand?

However, Chu Mu knew why.

The ruling structure here, if it is really a free gift, then only the first five floors can be full, or even full.

The further down you go, the less likely you are to receive free food.

Therefore, Norton needs to bind food and gold dust.

This gold dust is fake, but everyone can dig it.This also means that everyone can exchange gold dust for food.

Gold sand is equivalent to a kind of exchange voucher. Unlike power that only belongs to individuals, this kind of exchange voucher is open to everyone!

Only in this way can everyone in this tribe be able to eat.

It can be seen that Norton's kindness is not the kind of self-satisfaction kindness, but the real consideration for this tribe.

But why would he help such a group of white-eyed wolves?And why did he disappear?

Chu Mu still didn't understand.

……

The robot descends slowly.

It has penetrated to 150 floors underground, about 400 meters deep.

The fog here has reached the point where you can't see your fingers.

Even with the bright light turned on, it's hard to see things in the distance.

It is worth mentioning that, from the 150th floor underground to the [-]th floor underground, there are basically no people on the fifty floors in between.

But starting from the 150th floor, the creatures in the heat source induction increased significantly.

The further down, the more people.

The robot tried to get close to a gap and captured the residents inside.

These people have very fair skin.

Unlike the brown people near the surface, the people here have a pale skin.

The bloodless one!

However, judging from their appearance, they should be of the same origin as those brown people, but the expression of genes on skin color tends to be in two directions.

They exhibit a form of albinism, not only white skin, but also nearly white hair on their bodies.

As the number of contact samples increased, Chu Mu and others discovered that there were many deformed children among these people, and some deformed children had brown skin, which may have been abandoned by the people above.

This also explains why in the previous detection, there was not a single deformity in the brown-black people.

Obviously, under the influence of radiation, the probability of deformed children should be very high.

Abandoned to the following, exactly explains this phenomenon.

The robot eventually stopped at a pool of water.

This is already the bottom of the pit.

At this time, it is already 600 meters underground.

Sunlight cannot penetrate the fog to reach here.

Around the pool, there are mushrooms that are afraid of light.

Through the remote screen, you can see that this mushroom is about the size of a washbasin, black, with white lines on it.

This texture, like a human face.

Silver Wolf operates the robot and switches the fluorescent light on the mushrooms.

……

Chapter 106 Division of Tribes

The moment when the human face mushroom comes into contact with sunlight.

The mushroom let out a beast-like roar, and sprayed black spores from all over its body.

Attempt to block the light in this way.

Then the second one, the third one, the fourth one... Robots came around one after another.

A group of three-meter-tall combat robots, each carrying a tactical flashlight, surrounded the small human face mushroom, giving it warmth from the world.

Under this strong light, the human face mushroom began to make a sound similar to howling.

It began to wither, and the human face became distorted, showing a hideous look.

Eventually, it shrinks into a ball, completely inactive.

The robot collected this specimen, and at the same time collected some intact face mushrooms.

While these things were being done, the pale-skinned inhabitants stood and watched without fear or shouting.
