Chapter 1766 Mercury Prairie

The meteor that hit Mars finally escaped the gravity of Mars and flew into space. The meteor that hit Mercury did not have the gravity of the dehydrated star. It exploded directly on the surface of Mercury.

But the meteor that hit Mercury still has a long scar on the surface of Mercury. Thus, there is a long canyon above Mercury. And in the valley, there are some signs of volcanic activity. Because this canyon is very deep, it directly enters the underground magma layer of Mercury.

After this meteor hit the water star to form a grand canyon, it had no chance to fly into space again. He was captured directly by Mercury's gravity. As a result, this meteor stayed on Mercury.

But at that time, because this meteor hit Mercury, after it struck Mercury's surface, it produced a very high temperature. As a result, the meteor suddenly exploded after sliding to the sinkhole.

Thus, this huge sinkhole was formed. This is a huge tiankeng formed by the explosion of small celestial bodies. Although it looks similar to a tiankeng on the earth, the two are fundamentally different. ’

Looking at his son, Zhao Zhongyao talked to Feifei about the thoughts he had guessed. Feifei listened to his father's analysis and felt very reasonable.

‘Dad, to put it this way, the sinkhole in front of us is a huge explosion pit. Said Feifei.

‘Yes, this is not a tiankeng formed by geological collapse, but a huge tiankeng formed by the explosion of an asteroid. Said Zhao Zhongyao.

Feifei felt very reasonable after hearing what his father said. But when he observed it further, something was wrong.

‘Dad, if this sinkhole was formed by an explosion, how could it be so strange! Feifei looked at the surrounding environment and said.

Zhao Zhongyao also felt that this explosion pit was a bit special. I just don't understand what Feifei wants to say. So I looked at Feifei again and said, ‘then what do you want to say? Then just say it! Do you feel anything strange about this sinkhole! ’

‘Dad, look. If this tiankeng was formed by an explosion, should the bottom of the tiankeng be the lowest? But we now see that the bottom of this tiankeng is not the lowest. Rather, it presents a topography with a height in the middle and a low area around it. You said that such a shape was also formed by explosion. Feifei couldn't understand all of this.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the surrounding terrain and said, ‘Yes! The terrain here is a bit strange. How could it be high in the middle and low in the surroundings! It doesn't look like an explosion. ’

‘Dad, that’s why your asteroid hit and exploded, isn’t there a problem? How do you explain the special terrain at the bottom of this tiankeng? Feifei said, looking at his father again.

After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘how exactly did this cause form? It seems that we still do not quite understand. We need to go outside to investigate before we can know. But I still believe that my explosion said that this sinkhole was probably formed by the explosion of an asteroid. ’

‘Okay, since that’s the case, let’s take a look outside together! See if there is any place outside, you can prove your explosion. Feifei said, looking at his father again.

Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's words and said, ‘Okay, let’s go outside and have a look! "Zhao Zhongyao also felt that even inside this spacecraft, we couldn't observe the outside situation. Let's go outside and take a look! ’

So Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei began to wear spacesuits and wanted to go outside the spacecraft. It's just that Tiantian and Qu Yuqian now have a good look outside. The two of them are also a little curious. I also want to look outside the spacecraft. After all, just staying in the spacecraft, what's the point of that. Only outside the spacecraft can you feel what Mercury's surface looks like.

‘Mum, let’s go outside and have a look! What is the meaning of light in this spaceship. Every day when I saw that my dad and brother were going to explore outside again, she was a little bit ready to move. After all, she didn't want to stay in the spaceship all the time, but also wanted to look outside the spaceship.

After listening to her daughter, Qu Yuqian looked at her and said, ‘There may be some danger outside, let’s stay inside the spacecraft! ’

Qu Yuqian thought of their previous experience on Venus, and she didn't want her daughter to venture outside.

But every day, I still want to go outside. She looked at her mother again and said, ‘Mother, look at the scenery outside. What's the point of us just staying in the spaceship. It's better to go outside to see the scenery. I don't think there is any danger in this place, isn't it just a prairie! ’

Everyday I feel that the scenery in this place is very good. Outside is an undulating prairie. Apart from the prairie, there is nothing mysterious.

Qu Yuqian looked at her daughter and wanted to go outside, so she looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Zhongyao, look, this time, would you take me and Tian Tian to explore outside too? ’

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the outside environment and felt that there would be no big beasts here. After all, this is a grassland, if there are any big beasts, you might see it all at once.

Zhao Zhongyao thought that there might not be any dangerous monsters here, so he looked at Qu Yuqian and Tiantian and said, ‘Okay, this time I will take you two on an adventure too! ’

After that, Zhao Zhongyao let Qu Yuqian and Tiantian also put on a set of spacesuits. After everyone got dressed, they came out of the spaceship together.

Zhao Zhongyao was the first multi-spacecraft to come out. After he got out of the spacecraft, he felt that the outside environment was really good. If you weren't wearing a spacesuit, you would definitely feel that you were in a certain tourist attraction on Earth, and not in a place like Mercury where you heard that it is fundamental life.

After Zhao Zhongyao came out, Feifei, Tiantian and Qu Yuqian came out of the spaceship together. When their family got off the spaceship. When I came to the middle part of this tiankeng, I felt that they were under a high mountain and surrounded by small valleys.

It's just that these small valleys are full of lush green grass. It is not a barren land. Looking around, the bottom of the whole Tiankeng seems to be covered with a thick green carpet, which is really very beautiful.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked in front, Qu Yuqian and Tiantian walked behind. The family began to explore this mysterious sinkhole.

Just now, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei felt a little puzzled about why there was such a small hill at the bottom of this tiankeng. Now they just want to study this hill carefully.

Zhao Zhongyao saw that there were some grasses growing on this hill. But these grasses are not very dense. It can only be said that they grow very sparsely. Compared with the surrounding grasslands, this hill can only be regarded as a barren mountain.

‘Dad, look at this hill, how can there be such a hill at the bottom of this sinkhole. Feifei looked at the hill below her feet and said.

Zhao Zhongyao observed the surrounding terrain again and said, ‘That’s right, I feel that this hill was the remnant left by that asteroid when it exploded. After the asteroid exploded at that time, not all of it was blown to pieces. There may be something left. And this hill is what left after the asteroid exploded. ’

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei felt somewhat reasonable. After all, the sudden appearance of such a hill at the bottom of this tiankeng was also very uncoordinated, and it was obviously related to the explosion of the asteroid at that time.

‘Dad, it seems that this hill is not made of rocks above Mercury. It is made of the rock of an asteroid. Said Feifei.

‘That’s right, the asteroid that hit Mercury at that time must be a rocky planet. After hitting Mercury, after sliding for a certain distance, a big explosion occurred. After the explosion, such a huge sinkhole was formed. However, this asteroid did not explode completely, leaving a wreck. This wreck is the hill in front of me. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

‘Okay, dad. We have already explained clearly how this hill came. So, should we look for that amethyst gem for the next job? We must quickly find that amethyst gem, and then we can go to Mars. To be honest, I still want to go to Mars. There is an extraterrestrial planet that is very similar to the earth's environment. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao said again, ‘you’re right, we still have to look for the second amethyst gem. Since there may only be this oasis of life on this Mercury planet, then this place must have the amethyst gems we are looking for. ’

So Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei, Qu Yuqian and Tian Tian to look for amethyst gems. They all felt that there should be no dangerous things in this place. After all, there is some grass growing here. There are no tall trees.

As long as there are no tall trees, there will be no tall animals. Generally speaking, tall animals eat leaves. The reason why they grow taller is also because they like to eat some leaves.

Just like a giraffe, it has such a long neck because it likes to eat the leaves of a tall plant on the African savannah.

This tall plant is the acacia tree. This tree is also very magical. Their leaves are open during the day, and they will grow together at night. The flowers of this tree are yellow. From a distance, it looks like a golden cloud. Therefore, we call this tree an acacia tree, which is a very vivid name.

Giraffes like to eat the leaves of this tall plant. In order to deal with the giraffe's encroachment on him, this plant has evolved many spikes. On each of its branches, there are many spikes growing.

In this case, it would be more difficult for many animals to eat the leaves of the acacia tree. Because if you want to eat its leaves, you risk piercing your tongue with a spike.

But the giraffe is not afraid of the spikes on the acacia tree. Because they have also evolved tongues that can deal with the spikes on the acacia tree.

The giraffe has a long neck and a long tongue. Their tongue can stick out of their mouth for more than a foot. Moreover, the giraffe's tongue can also shrink into a cylindrical shape. Such a tongue can go around the spikes on the acacia tree and eat the leaves on the acacia tree.

This is the result of competition for survival and evolutionary mutation. Everything is like this, and no one species can restrain all species. No one species will be restrained by all species.

The reason why there are tall herbivores such as giraffes and elephants on the African savanna is because the African savanna not only has deep thatch. There are tall trees. These tall trees provide giraffes and elephants with edible bark and branches.

Because of this, there are some tall herbivores on the African savannah. Because there are tall trees and deep thatch that they can eat.

The reason why these animals grow tall is closely related to the environment in which they live. On the African savannah, there is not rain all year round. The African savannah has a dry season and a rainy season. There is lush green grass on the ground in the rainy season. But in the dry season, there is no green grass on the ground.

And the animals that live on the prairie, in the absence of grass. You can only choose to eat bark and branches. Because of this, some animals on the African savannah slowly become very big.

Just like giraffes and elephants, they grow taller because they like to eat some tall plants. And some animals that eat grass will not grow particularly tall. Just like the antelope on the African savannah, it does not grow very tall, but only grows to a height of one meter.

And in this sinkhole above Mercury, there are only some grass. There are no tall trees. In this way, it is impossible to have any tall animals in this place. Even if there are, there are some small animals.

Zhao Zhongyao felt that there were no large animals in this place, which made Qu Yuqian and Tian Tian come out of the spacecraft together.

After all, their family was out on an adventure. Since it's an expedition, you have to get out of the spaceship. If you don't get out of the spaceship, is it still an adventure!
