The world enters the age of mythology.

Has the super disaster that once erupted disappeared?

And why did those brain-controlled bugs escape from here after they discovered the land?

These questions naturally popped up in my heart.

But it is impossible for the Sea of ​​Clouds to give up directly. If you give up exploring because of these questions, it is naturally impossible, not to mention that there are still traces of the city here, maybe there will be some special gains?

Even cutting down some trees and picking up some rubbish is good.

"Everyone, please look at the photo. Our drone is 120 kilometers away from here, and the city was photographed. According to the population density of our earth, the population size of this city is estimated to be between 400 million and 1000 million people. , It’s a large city... It’s hard to say the exact level of technology, it’s possible that it’s a bit behind us, or a bit more advanced.”

Lu Yiming stared at the big screen and pondered for a while.

There are actually very few traces of artificial buildings. Most of the houses have collapsed and are covered with various plants similar to creepers.If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a raised hillside.

Occasionally, reinforced concrete exposed from the ground can be found, but due to the passage of time, these steel bars have long been rusty.

Plants with tenacious vitality occupy the entire city.

"If our cities were not populated for decades, or hundreds of years, they would look like what they are now. The resilience of nature is actually far beyond human imagination."

At this time, Lu Yiming asked: "General Guo, can the robot's automatic exploration be able to complete this kind of task? If there is an unknown disaster with a high degree of danger in this continent, is it too dangerous for human exploration?"

"Hey, we have actually thought about this problem, but after research, we found that it is not possible!" Guo Xianfeng sighed, "The terrain is too complicated, there are obstacles everywhere, bumpy and raised roads, all kinds of trees and shrubs And the collapsed building materials blocked the way. Our robots are completely unable to walk in such a complex environment. If we use drones, it is not impossible, but... drones can't get too much data of."

Drones fly in the sky, and it is difficult, almost impossible, to fly into buildings and carry some things with robotic arms.

"As for our intelligent robot, forget it..."

When Guo Xianfeng said this, he shook his head again.The performance of the current anthropomorphic robots is really poor. It is very difficult to even pick up a leaf. It is difficult for a robot to pick up a hair with its fingers.

A security expert said: "Does it still depend on humans in the end... But security measures must be adequate. Not only must the safety of the front line be guaranteed, but the safety of the Yunhai must also be guaranteed."

Lu Yiming sighed: "Understood, the relevant mobilization has already been done. Manpower is not a problem."

After discussing in this way for a while, Ding Yuan issued the final order after discussing various details: "Since there is no way to explore intelligently, then at eight o'clock tomorrow morning... let's start implementing according to the established plan!"

……

At 10 o'clock the next morning, amidst the lively discussions, the Yunhai refuge finally sailed to the edge of the Yang River. Through the telescope on the top floor of the central building, it was possible to observe the lush virgin forest [-] kilometers away!

This is also the first new continent discovered by humans outside Yanghe!

Everyone has high hopes for it, whether it is supplementing resources or collecting information, this is a brand new starting point.

Amidst the enthusiastic attention of all the people, the exploration of the New World has officially begun!

For the sake of caution, the first phase of the work will be animal experiments. A small drone will load about 10 well-bred mice into this virgin forest and let them move freely in order to investigate a certain degree of Danger.

Chapter 152 Expedition!

Scientists have installed trackers, cameras and body detection devices on these little mice in advance. As long as they do not run too far, they can feed back the information detected in the forest.

What kind of danger they will encounter, whether they can adapt to the microorganisms on this land, etc., will all be revealed in this animal experiment.

A picture was displayed on the big screen: "The drone is expected to arrive at the destination in 30 seconds, the countdown starts, 29, 28..."

"Three, two, one!"

"Officially logged in."

The screen shook violently, and the small drone found a slightly flat place and landed successfully.

"Successfully reached the destination..."

"Opening the warehouse door..."

"The warehouse door was successfully opened!"

After the cabin door was opened, these mice looked around in the unfamiliar jungle environment, looking timid.

After a few seconds, they realized that they were free, so they let go of their feet and fled in all directions.

Judging from the information received, for the time being... no problems have been found.

"The animals in the jungle... seem to be a bit rare. There are quite a lot of types of plants."

"The survivability of these little mice is actually quite average. After all, they grew up in the laboratory and have not been tempered by the natural environment. They are not as good as normal mice. Some accidental casualties may occur. However, some problems can always be reported. , the microbial environment they can overcome, we should be able to overcome it with a little attention, mainly to see what dangers they will encounter..."

"...if we are eaten by normal wild beasts, or die from food poisoning, then we don't have to worry too much. We won't eat the food here, and we have weapons to resist wild beasts. These difficulties can be overcome .”

An information expert contacted the electronic equipment on the mice, and through the collars around their necks, they were able to capture the first-person view of these mice.

However, the current distance is a full ten kilometers, coupled with the occlusion of plants, the transmission of the entire signal is not very good, and these monitoring pictures are intermittent.

"...But if there are inexplicable mutations in these mice, or collective deaths for unknown reasons, then we have to be more careful."

The number of people in this operation is about 300, of which 250 are logistics team and related technical personnel, microbiologists, geologists, botanists and so on.

They will stay on the destroyer to complete technical work.

The real expedition team is only 50 people.

At least half of the 50 people with superpowers, including Lu Yiming, Zhong Peng, Shi Dayong, Liu Xuwei, Li Yao and other elites, were dispatched almost all at once.

With such an elite team, coupled with strong support from the rear, fighter jets and helicopters can be dispatched urgently, and missiles can also be launched. The overall risk is still controllable.

"Is this a new type of body armor? It feels very good!" Lu Yiming put on the new equipment that was just released. This type of body armor is like tights, with a certain degree of elasticity.

It has a high density, a thin piece with a mass of 1.5 kg, and it feels cool and smooth to the touch.

I slashed vigorously with the dagger I carried with me, but there was no trace at all.

Shi Dayong also put on this bulletproof vest: "Good stuff, this kind of bulletproof vest made by Jin Baobao's silk can only be produced in a few dozen pieces a month. The first batch belongs to us, and the people behind will only I can wait. Haha, have you seen their envious eyes?"

"Captain Lu, this rune knife of yours can be regarded as a strange thing, right? Which one is more powerful than the body armor?"

"One is defensive, the other is sharp, which one is better." Guo Weiqiang, a soldier behind him, said with his head poking around.

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Hey, overall, the knife is stronger. So if you poke it very hard, it will still scratch this golden baby's body armor."

"Can superpowers be compared?"

"Of course. But it is basically impossible for an ordinary knife to pierce this body armor. No matter how powerful the user of the knife is, it will just break the knife abruptly."

"Ordinary bullets can't penetrate this body armor."

Yes, Lu Yiming has completed the manufacture of the Rune Knife.

If the superpowers of the two are compared, the superpower characteristic of the knife is stronger.

But at present, the production capacity of this kind of metal knife is even lower, and only a few senior fitters can make a few with the tools at hand, and if they make mistakes, they will be scrapped.

As far as the current productivity is concerned, there are only two or three successes in a month, and the output is too low.

"There are already 4 of the entire Yunhai, and this is one of them."

Scientists are trying to find a way to study the corresponding etching machines and use the power of science and technology to mass-produce them.

However, with the current industrial strength, it will take a lot of time to do this, months or years are possible.Due to the lack of high-end industrial machine tools and the incomplete industrial chain, the production capacity will not be raised for a while.

Even Shi Dayong, the commander-in-chief of the Special Forces, came up and said, "You have produced a special monster? Show me, show me! Don't be so stingy, play with me! It's not that I won't return you. "

Lu Yiming said helplessly: "Be careful, this is a switch. The knife can only work when it is powered on. Don't cut yourself."

"Tsk tsk, you have to turn on the electricity to use it? Is this a weird thing? Why does it feel so weird..." Shi Dayong pouted his mouth and turned on the switch.

Just for a moment, the cicada wing rune on the blade flickered.

He used this small knife to cut a piece of scrap iron, as easily and freehand as mowing grass.

"It's like cutting iron like mud, what a good thing!" Shi Dayong's eyes lit up immediately.

"Show me too!" Li Yao shouted beside him.

He has always been taciturn, but this time when faced with such a novel monster, he couldn't bear it anymore and was eager to try.

The temptation to use weird things as weapons is too great. Everyone tried it and couldn't put it down.

Although its characteristics are only hard and sharp, not comparable to that kind of elusive monster, but it is enough, really enough!Soldiers have never used such a powerful weapon.

"How do I feel, with this rune knife and Jin Baobao's body armor, I can fight those monsters close to me." Shi Dayong laughed loudly there: "One knife can cut the head of the white-haired girl open."

"When will this thing be produced in energy?"

A few minutes later, Lu Yiming snatched back the knife and said with a smile, "Just wait for a while. I made this one myself. If I have time in the future, I will make a few for you."

Chapter 153 Coming to the New World (3 more!)

Seeing that everyone was ready, Ding Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Yunhai cleared his throat, and said loudly in front: "Soldiers, before the official expedition, I have a question to explain in advance. The tonnage of the Yunhai is really too big. The waterline is very deep, and once the boundary line of the Yang River is crossed, the depth of the ocean will drop sharply."

"From the current thousands of meters to hundreds of meters, once the tide of this planet ebbs, our refuge may be stranded in the ocean and cannot move..."

"So until it is confirmed that it is really safe, our Yunhai will stay near the dividing line, and will not randomly cross the distance of the last ten kilometers. If it is really dangerous, we can also start the engine in time and leave!"

"And your goal this time is to find the ruins of intelligent civilization and find valuable clues as much as possible! Analyze the dangers of this continent and judge whether it is suitable for human survival."

"By the way..." His voice was slightly lower: "Cut down some wood and dig some soil back."

"Mr. Ding!" Lu Yiming raised his hand to signal: "Our refuge is in Yanghe, isn't it occasionally teleported by space? If the Yunhai suddenly disappears, wouldn't the 300 of us who stayed behind just die? What precautions?"

With only 300 people, it is very difficult to survive in a strange continent.

Although they are death squads, they also have the right to know.

Ding Yuan nodded, "Your worries are good, but don't worry. I'll ask Professor Liu Qingshan to explain this issue."

Physics expert Liu Qingshan stepped onto the stage and explained: "After a period of data analysis and sorting, we found that there are actually a series of signs before the space teleportation..."

"The first is that we suspect that only moving objects will be teleported. So as long as our Yunhai remains still, the risk of being randomly teleported will be greatly reduced."

"The second is that the fluctuation rate of the physical constants has increased significantly before the space transfer. Although the physical constants are also fluctuating on a small scale, they are controlled within a small range, which shows that this space is still stable."

"If the fluctuation rate of the physical constant breaks through this range, then we have to be careful, and it may suddenly go to other worlds. The abnormality of this data fluctuation will be detected by us two days ago."

Ding Yuan continued: "So, two days is enough for everyone to come back. We have transport helicopters here, and we can take everyone back at risk. If it really doesn't work, we can only move the entire Yunhai Come out and prevent being teleported away. You are the elite of the refuge, and we will not give up on anyone easily."

Professor Liu Qingshan continued: "Oh, by the way, there is also the density of marine life. Have you noticed that the marine life in the Yang River is more sparse than in the normal ocean, this is because the sea water from all worlds has gathered together Here, coupled with the existence of the natural transmission mechanism, the biological density has been diluted to a certain extent..."

"Among these marine organisms, we found a schooling fish, which is quite rare."

"The main reason is that this school of fish has a certain degree of spatial perception. When abnormal fluctuations occur in space, they will stick together and form a ball, so that they can be teleported away together."

In the glass box, this small fish is swimming normally without clumping together, indicating that there is nothing unusual about the current space.

"Although the mechanism of space teleportation is not yet clear, judging from the current performance, it seems that there will be no physical division. As long as it is a rough whole, it will be teleported away...Of course this conclusion is just experience, and it is not necessary. Not necessarily true."

Lu Yiming frowned, he understood what Professor Liu meant.

Space teleportation is a completely inexplicable and incomprehensible physical phenomenon for human beings.

But so far, there has not been a phenomenon where a person is directly cut open and half of the body is transferred.

In other words, as long as you are a whole, you will be sent away together.

But the Sea of ​​Clouds still can't take the risk, half of it is in the Yanghe River, and the other half is above the ordinary ocean. If it is really cut, it will be finished.The power of space is elusive, and it is effortless to cut through steel and concrete.

If such a disaster really happened, the entire shelter would instantly enter a large amount of sea water and sink directly to the bottom of the sea.At that time, human beings will have no way to survive.

Even if the probability of this kind of danger is only a little bit, it is not worth taking.

Of course, what Professor Liu said was just an insurance policy.After all, the space teleportation phenomenon experienced by human beings can only be confirmed once, that is, the time when they completely lost contact with the headquarters, so it is unknown how reliable it is.

"Okay, I see." Lu Yiming still nodded.

In this eccentric world, where is the good without risk?

Compared with the temptation of a new continent, this risk is worth taking.

"Since there is no problem, let's get ready to board the ship. This destroyer can carry 500 people and is equipped with a certain level of munitions. The first stage is to investigate whether the little mice survive normally and send drones to investigate; the second The stage is the real landing and inspection... The goal, the survival relics of intelligent civilization, I hope you can return with a full load, and I hope that all of you can return!"

"lets go!"

Just like that, hundreds of people boarded the destroyer, set off from the pier on the right side of the Yunhai, and sailed to the border of the Yang River.

Wearing protective clothing, Lu Yiming looked at the endless sky.

"Xiao Guo, are you afraid?"

"The preparations are so complete, what is there to be afraid of?" Guo Weiqiang giggled there, as Lu Yiming's soldier, his biggest characteristic is that he is heartless.
