Beneath Deep Space

Picture after picture and report after report were sent back to the Noah, mostly good news. But these are only second-hand information. Without personal witness, they only give people a feeling of being far behind.

Many scientists who were still on board the Noah were scratching their heads and scratching their ears. They were so anxious that they couldn't even concentrate on their usual work.

A very irritable atmosphere spreads in Noah...

The people inside couldn't wait, they couldn't wait to get down! Especially a large number of biologists, they are like children facing novel toys.

This unattainable temptation is too great and I really can’t bear it!

There are better research subjects and more novel things, but they are trapped here due to safety issues. Their tempers are getting worse and worse. You can often hear the loud roars of this group of biologists...

The corridors and elevators were full of experts arguing about extraterrestrial life. They expressed their opinions and had a great time arguing.

Of course...their argument was just about pictures. Arguing over pictures will lead to no results.

So much so that in just a few days, Yu Yifeng has received hundreds of petition reports... This group of people seems to be going crazy if they don't go on!

Yu Yifeng grabbed his hair hard and smiled bitterly in his heart. Why did he want to violate the safety regulations we jointly formulated back then?

Of course it's impossible!

At least we have to finish scouting this area!

He simply ignored the scientists' complaints.

"Large-scale copper deposits were discovered in the A7 area, with an average copper content of 2.16% and an estimated copper metal resource of 18.45 million tons."

"Small sulfur deposits were discovered in the C3 area..."

"A small flowing water source was found in area B11. The water source temperature is 13 degrees Celsius, and there is suspected to be geothermal heat below..."

After seeing these reports, Yu Yifeng was still very happy. So far, no special danger has occurred, and no signs of danger have been seen.

There are many mineral resources formed by volcanism, including non-metallic resources and metallic resources. Even ordinary volcanic ash is the best cement material!

There are also rare resources such as sulfur, gems, and mercury.

Large-scale mixed mineral deposits of gold, silver, copper, uranium, iron, aluminum, zinc, etc., often formed by volcanic activity... were all discovered intensively within a few days!

This large active volcano tens of millions of years ago, now an extinct volcano, has brought a lot of mineral wealth to mankind. It is the first gift from the planet Nix to mankind!

As soon as the first mine was discovered, new excavators, trains, construction robots, etc. were already transported via large airships.

At present, human beings have completely realized automated construction. As soon as these machines land on the ground, they can start construction work immediately. Automatic robots will never tire of building open-air warehouses and high-speed rail tracks.

The excavator has also excavated in advance. Just put the excavated resources aside and install them again when the time comes!

"The construction speed is very fast!" Yu Yifeng had to sigh with emotion.

The atmospheric pressure of 2.6 times that of the earth is relatively dense. For aircraft, such a dense atmosphere is a huge obstacle. But for an airship, it means 2.6 times the buoyancy and 2.6 times the load capacity!

It has to be said that now the world is dominated by airships, and the Kinov Industrial Factory is urgently manufacturing various large airships. Anyway, the technical content of this thing is not high, as long as it is big enough and strong enough!

People need to transport more machinery and equipment to the surface as soon as possible to speed up the construction process!

…

It is worth noting that the news in the B11 area is not only about hot springs and geothermal heat, but also a photo taken by a robot! After the surface landing team discovered this photo, they immediately sent it back to Noah.

Sure enough, many people were shouting in front of the big screen!

"This is... a plant? No, a large luminous fungus?! Yes, a fungus, not a prokaryotic organism!"

"Is there any specific information? Have you obtained the specimen?"

The discovery of a fungus-like species has refreshed people's understanding of life on the planet Nix. It is generally believed that since eukaryotes exist, there may also be more complex life forms! There is no guarantee whether there will be any animals.

"...I have to say that the probability of the Great Strainer of Life in front of us is increasing. The breakthrough from prokaryotic to eukaryotic has been ruled out, and its emergence may not be difficult..."

Dr. Rimbaud covered his head with his hands and sighed, feeling a little melancholy.

"Yes... From this point of view, as long as the environmental conditions are suitable, in the evolution of billions of years, the transformation from prokaryotic to eukaryotic has become inevitable by chance." A biologist was excited and worried at the same time. He said: "Mars... is too barren, so no eukaryotic life has appeared."

However, his tone was mostly excited. More complex alien life means more scientific inspiration!

As for whether alien life is poisonous and whether it will cause harm... As long as people are careful enough, it is always controllable!

The main terrain in area B11 is a mountain range with a large cave in the middle where the hot springs are found.

According to calculations, Area B11 is likely to be the original volcanic vent, which contains a large amount of geothermal energy. And this kind of luminous fungus lives in caves!

"The luminescence of fungi may be caused by phosphorus. At the same time, a large amount of pollutant gases such as hydrogen sulfide in the air are also their energy source...these combined effects lead to luminescence." A scientist speculated.

"If we go deeper into this cave, we may be able to find small insects or even small animals! Because a planet cannot only have producers, there must be consumers or decomposers!"

"...It seems that stars are no longer needed. Geothermal heat is the fundamental energy source of the Nix star!"

This huge discovery shocked scientists even more.

They lamented their own humility and the wonders of the universe.

Life is truly a great miracle. As long as there are some conditions for survival, it can be born, reproduce and adapt to the environment on the planet...

Complex life can be produced solely by relying on geothermal energy. This proposition was unimaginable before and would even be rejected by the mainstream scientific community!

Even the cave ecosystem on the earth must be supplemented by external energy. In the final analysis, all energy still comes from the sun.

But now, people have finally seen that a complete ecology can be supported by just a small amount of geothermal energy.

Such an unexpected event once again verified the "universal law of life" in the universe!

Another wave of petition reports came in, not just from biologists, but also from geologists, engineers, etc. Then Yu Yifeng forcibly pushed him back, and he had to show his authority: No one is allowed to go down before the time is up!

Only automatic machines are transported downwards continuously through airships. Various robots are also constantly expanding their detection range.

Yu Yifeng frowned. Well, he always felt inexplicably uncomfortable about that cave, but he couldn't explain it.

Human beings naturally don't like dark caves, especially those with water and who knows how deep they are...

He shook his head, he didn't know, he couldn't explain clearly... It was very strange anyway. In his intuition, it seemed that there were more mysteries inside...
