Chapter 637 Desolate Land
Because this "planetary spacecraft" traveling alone in the vast space was too weird, the Giant Turtle Yantai did not land on the surface of the planet rashly, but cautiously circled it for a few times and got a general understanding of it. The current situation of the planet.
As seen at first glance, this planet is traveling driven by a series of huge working fluid engines. There are a total of more than 160 engine nozzles as huge as mountains distributed on its surface, but only one of them is running. A quarter of them. The planet is trailing a plasma flame that is thousands of kilometers long, making it look like a weird and huge comet in space, dazzling and extremely spectacular. But apart from those huge and running engines, the rest of the entire planet looked lifeless - no color of vegetation could be seen on the surface, all the oceans had frozen, the land was covered with ice and snow that had not melted for countless years, and the surface of the planet Ninety percent of the area was dark, and only some light could be seen around the giant engines, which was probably the light of the machine's operation.
A word suddenly flashed across Hao Ren's mind: Trekking corpse.
This planet is like a corpse wandering in space. It is dead, but those engines are still faithfully executing orders, allowing the planet to fly far away.
"There are only traces of life on the surface of the planet, lower life, algae or other single-celled organisms." The voice from the data terminal interrupted Hao Ren's thinking. "No trace of large advanced organisms has been found - of course it may be hidden underground. In addition, there is a shield on the surface of this planet, which was established with the help of the geomagnetic field itself. This is probably the reason why it escaped the solar explosion more than 10,000 years ago."
"Is there anything threatening?" Vivian turned around and asked.
A burst of light flashed on the surface of the data terminal, communicating with the spacecraft's radar system: "...has not been found yet."
Hao Ren thought for a moment: "Elizabeth, you stay on the spaceship with Cat and Fish, and everyone else will go down with me to check out the situation. Terminal, don't follow me. You are responsible for controlling the spacecraft in orbit, in case we encounter anything." The surprise depends on your space support.”
This is something Hao Ren has developed since the last crisis on the planet Io. He realized that when he went to explore a strange planet, leaving a support platform in space could always play a big role - if he had There is no space fire support from the data terminal in Io, and I am afraid that he has already been frozen in the endless ice.
The data terminal suddenly felt that it had a heavy responsibility, and shook its body proudly: "It's all right, just don't worry if you leave it to me!"
Elizabeth flattened her mouth a little dissatisfied. She looked at the stupid cat next to her who was dozing on the ground and Doudou who was dozing on the stupid cat's head. She felt that her role had been ignored: "I am responsible. Can I take care of your children and cats? I’m also smart and courageous, okay?”
Yzaks flicked his daughter's head and ejected the little girl four to five meters: "Listen to your uncle and stay on the spaceship."
Elizabeth ran back in a hurry and said obediently: "Oh..."
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. Even though he knew that demons tend to be more rough and arrogant when raising children, he still felt that it was a miracle that Elizabeth could live so long... What a tough life that little girl had! Just now, when Yzaks' head popped out, he could hear the sonic boom...
The spacecraft found an open landing site at the equator of the wandering planet, hovered above it, and transported everyone directly to the surface of the planet.
The surface of the planet was desolate. After Hao Ren and the others stepped out of the teleportation beam, all they saw were vast snowfields, bare hills, and a pitch-black night sky. Some towering shadows can be vaguely seen in the distance, which are the thruster nozzles that are in a flameout state, and behind those shadows, you can see some sky-high lights, which are ejected from the working thrusters further away. Plasma flames: they are the only thing worth seeing on this planet.
The surroundings were very quiet, and after concentrating, I could only hear some weird, low roaring sounds coming from far, far away, and they were so weak that they were almost indistinguishable. The sound should have come from a giant engine in the distance, but because the atmosphere was too thin, the sound could hardly travel very far, and the superhumans around Hao Ren could only hear it vaguely with their senses. In fact, the atmosphere of this planet is still there, but due to the ultra-low temperature, most of the gases have been frozen on the surface of the planet. What Hao Ren stepped on included carbon dioxide ice chips and solid fragments of many other gases.
The spacecraft scanned the environment below before landing, so except for two special guys, Hao Ren and Yzaks, everyone else was wearing life-support collars. Lily stamped her feet on the ground, raising a cloud of gray-white ice dust: "It doesn't look like anyone has been here."
Nangong Wuyue looked at the dark earth in the distance, with a look of worry on his face. Next to him, Nangong Sanba also pinched his chin and frowned. Vivian glanced at them and knew that the two of them were in a disturbed state and could easily think about things in an overly pessimistic direction, so she reminded them: "Sirens and demon hunters can survive in this environment. What? How long can it survive?"
Only then did May realize that her parents had a chance of survival on this planet. She carefully took off the life-sustaining collar and tried it, frowning slightly: "It's... uncomfortable, but not fatal. As long as it can find existence In a liquid water environment, I can survive for a long time, relying on heat energy and the elemental power in the water to maintain life. Moreover, this planet has a magnetic field shield, so there is no need to worry about radiation from space... At least my mother can survive in this environment. It’s possible to survive.”
"A hundred years?" Lily asked.
May frowned: "... Theoretically, the Kraken can survive as long as there is water, but here... maybe the mother will choose to freeze herself periodically so that she can survive a hundred years of space journey. At most, some memory and strength will be lost. The Siren is like water, and we can also change ourselves between three states like water. Sometimes when encountering extreme environments, the Siren can survive through the three-state changes."
Lily was immediately astonished by the Siren's ability. She thought about the scene of Nangong's ice melting and evaporating according to the season in May, and suddenly felt that the scene was simply too magical to watch, like a horror movie.
Nangong Sanba also touched his chin and thought for a while: "My dad is not a very strong demon hunter, so it will be a little difficult to survive on this planet, but with my mom's help, it is possible to survive for more than a hundred years. Witchers have many skills to stay alive in extreme conditions.”
"Anyway, if they reach this planet alive, they will definitely move in that direction -" Yzaks raised his hand and pointed into the distance. In the direction of his finger, there were several huge fires rising outside the horizon, " Thruster. That’s the only warm place on the entire planet. If you want to find liquid water, you have to go there.”
Hao Ren immediately took out his official car from the portable space: "Everyone get in the car, let's go to the propeller."
The little Big Dipper speeds across the endless ice and snow of this wandering planet, rolling up large clumps of eye-catching ice and snow. From a distance, it looks like it is leading a group of white monsters galloping across the earth. Hao Ren did not teleport or fly directly to the metal mountain range in order to observe the surrounding environment on the way - he was very interested in this planet.
Most of the scenery along the way was pretty monotonous, just endless white and gray wilderness, but once you got closer to that giant thruster something strange started to appear. Huge, dark pipes and steel supports gradually rose up from the snow as if growing from the depths of the earth, like vines surrounding fruits, and like thousands of roots supporting giant trees, gathering towards the propeller. The scale of these pipes and supports is astonishing. The appearance of them rising from the ground is even reminiscent of the roots of the eldest son. They spread darkly on the ground, looking weird and deserted under the starlight.
The car passed silently under a huge steel support. Lily stuck her head out of the car window and watched in amazement those depressing black shadows flying overhead. As a young literary woman, she suddenly became sentimental. .
These things are still working – but where are their creators?
