Goldfinger turned me over to the state

These large machines have been running continuously for several days, and no one knows what the ground has been tossed by them.

But right now, Baozi seems to be able to understand why these large buildings have not stopped working so far.

"Are you sure you want to let it find the roots of those plants? Instead of building an underground paradise underground?"

Ji Ting was speechless: "Who would want to build an underground paradise here?!"

The hacker became more and more puzzled: "Then why do these machines dig such a long sightseeing passage here?"

It is not wrong to say that it is a sightseeing passage. The long passage steps move down slowly, and there are unknown algae that provide lighting on both sides, which makes this "adventure journey" look wrong from the beginning.

When entering the deep pit, they were full of vigilance and prepared to deal with all kinds of emergencies. As a result, a group of people walked dozens of steps quietly without incident.

Only the passage continued to extend downwards, other than that, not even a bug was seen.

Ji Ting said uncertainly: "Maybe it's because it thinks these steps are necessary facilities?"

The Tianshu team felt that Ji Ting was talking nonsense, but since there were other people in the team, they didn't expose him on the spot.

Baozi poked the shimmering algae on the side: "What is this..."

Before he finished speaking, he uttered a puzzled monosyllable, and rubbed the unremarkable algae vigorously: "This feeling..."

Seeing that Li Yishu's face was getting darker, and Baozi was still touching it happily, the can couldn't bear it, so he gave him an elbow: "Why are your hands so fast? I haven't figured out what this is yet. If it is poisonous, you can wait to go back to your hometown."

"It doesn't look poisonous... No, I mean, there is something wrong with this thing!" Baozi pointed to the layer of algae attached to the wall: "It doesn't grow in the soil."

The scope moved over with interest, and stared at the algae and the wall for a long time: "Speaking of which, this color really doesn't look right... Come over with your glasses and see if it's darker here."

Liu Xuanjin observed carefully for a while, then suddenly stepped back a lot, looked up at the whole wall and asked, "Is this the root of a plant?"

Everyone took a few steps back in unison, and there was a noisy sound.

"Where are the roots of the plant?"

"The whole wall?"

"So, these machines really dug down the roots of the plants in the lake?"

Baozi suddenly realized: "I said why these machines are so considerate. They know that the underground light is not good, and they have specially installed lighting facilities. The co-authoring is not for us, but these luminous algae are already attached to the roots."

When he said this, everyone looked at the long passage subconsciously. The dark passage stretched all the way as if it had no end, and those glowing algae also extended all the way on both sides of the passage.

The scope expressed the feelings of everyone: "Isn't this too long? It won't really grow all the way to the center of the earth, will it?"

Although they had many doubts about the road ahead, they had to see what was at the end of this thing, so they continued down the passage, and when they reached the middle, there was a fork in the passage.

The more they went down, the more forks leading to different directions, so that they had to try to leave marks at each fork to avoid getting lost when going back.

After drinking the nutrient solution in the bottle, Baozi put on a pain mask: "I knew I should get the mushroom and chicken flavor, but the beef flavor tastes too weird."

The hacker pinched his nose and poured the nutrient solution directly down his throat: "The taste of chicken with mushrooms is also very strange. I suspect that this has nothing to do with the taste, it's just that it's sticky and unpalatable."

Ji Ting: "I really want to know what kind of psychology they have divided these nutrient solutions into different flavors? This obviously doesn't make any sense, and they are all equally unpalatable anyway."

Sightings: "For mental health considerations and humanistic care?"

While they were chatting, Can Tan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped: "We seem to have reached the end."

The hacker was shocked: "So fast? Impossible? How far has it gone? I'm ready for a long journey."

Baozi took two steps forward, stood next to the can, took in the scene in front of him, and exclaimed uncontrollably: "It's too exaggerated."

Everyone followed, and there was a downhill road ahead. At the end of the downhill road was an extended mechanical platform. There were all kinds of machinery on the platform, and the mechanical arm went deep below.

What surprised them was not the mechanical platform, but the scene behind the mechanical platform.

It was an incomparably huge deep pit. The part extending from the platform had been hollowed out, forming a huge sunken pit. There were countless existences similar to this passage and people extending from the passage scattered beside the giant pit. plant roots.

At a glance, the mechanical platform on the edge of the deep pit circled the deep pit. This is the final destination of those forked roads—no matter which intersection they choose, they will all arrive at the same destination.

Ji Ting and the others walked onto the mechanical platform, and the existence below the deep pit finally revealed its true colors.

It was buried deep in the soil, and because of the hard work of these machines, a shallow edge was dug up, revealing a white object wrapped in intricate roots.

Ji Ting and the others couldn't see its shape. After all, it only exposed a layer of gaps, and the rest of it was buried deep in the soil—judging from the area of ​​the gap it exposed, its volume may far exceed their imagination .

Standing on the mechanical platform, Ji Ting could deeply feel his own insignificance, and the tall machinery also seemed so small in front of this deep pit.

Except for the sound from the machine, there was no movement at the scene.

When the size of anything reaches a certain level, it will bring a strong shock to people, just like the scene in front of you.

At this moment, the pedestrian finally understood why those machines were working day and night but still didn't gain anything.

If the thing underneath is really the end of the plant's root system, then it can't be the root system of a certain plant at all.

Needless to say, all plants on this planet have their roots derived from it.

"If it's what you said, then maybe you did see the 'core' of this planet," Li Kai listened with gusto, regretting that he didn't see this scene live: "It is the core of this planet's operation. , the most important link in the composition of the ecological chain, the origin of all life on this planet."

"Rabbits, rhinos, fish, birds, and plants are all essentially the same creature, so they can transform freely to adapt to different environments."

Ji Ting half understood: "What are those white catkins? Will it affect us?"

Li Kai: "It depends on whether the ecological chain of this planet is complete. If it has formed a complete and stable cycle structure, then theoretically it should not affect you, because you are not in this cycle, but if If it’s still in the process of forming an ecological chain, then it’s not necessarily true, the sudden appearance of external factors like yours will usually cause a certain amount of stimulation to the unformed ecological chain...”

Ji Ting: "Say something I can understand."

Li Kai said bluntly, "I don't know either, but it doesn't matter what the answer is."

He pointed to those blue light spots: "Its special form of existence is destined to restrain most races. After all, it also does not have a fixed form, and compared with the creatures on this planet, it also has efficient manufacturing and production. Capabilities — in that sense, the planet is really a good fit for them."

Li Kai muttered to himself: "Besides, you won't stay here for a long time. After the beacons here are built, you can go to the next target planet. After the three beacons are built, The earth will be safe, why are you still worried about these things?"

Ji Ting's spirit was shaken, and he once again remembered the guidelines on character design in the abnormal event response plan, and seized the opportunity to start shaping his own character design, for fear of missing the opportunity.

He tuned his tone to shape the feeling of a big boss: "This is an alien planet, there are countless resources and new energy, how can they be wasted like this?"

Li Kai tilted his head: "The teleporter can't transmit resources and new energy, so how do you plan to transport the resources from the alien planet back to Earth?"

Ji Ting got stuck when asked.

But Li Kai suddenly became excited: "But I remember that there seems to be a design drawing of a spaceship in the backup plan. You wait, I will look for it and see if Xiaolan can build a spaceship factory for you on an alien planet. If that's the case, won't the problem be solved?"

Ji Ting's spirit was shaken, he put the shaping of the character behind his mind, and focused on the main point: "This method is good, and the other two target planets don't know what's going on. It's too risky to use the teleporter to teleport. No……"

While talking, he suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, who is Xiaolan?"

Li Kai pointed to those blue light spots: "Isn't the nickname I gave them very vivid?"

"I don't think you have the talent for naming." Ji Ting's attention wandered for a moment, and then he pulled back: "Do you have the design of the spaceship? How long will it take to build?"

"I have to look for it, and I'll talk about it when the time comes." Li Kai's tone was relaxed, he didn't take it to heart at all, and changed the subject: "I have already input the design diagram and process of the beacon to Xiaolan, since the core of the high-energy body The replacement has been found, the beacon will be built there, and it just so happens that Xiaolan and the others have almost dug up..."

Ji Ting stroked his fingers, following his jumping thoughts: "So it's really new energy? But didn't you say it's the 'center of the earth'? Using it as a beacon, will it have any bad effects on this planet? "

Li Kai: "At most, the speed of biological reproduction is slower than before. Other impacts are definitely not as big as the impact you plan to develop this planet."

Ji Ting was ashamed for two seconds, and then put it behind him.

Protecting the ecological environment of alien planets should be handled by professionals. It is more important for him to think about how to deal with the remaining two beacons.

Under the incandescent lights, the experimental equipment in the room was overloaded, and the white coats walked around in front of everyone, drawing blood one by one, pinching the muscles from time to time, and assessing the other party's condition with the eyes of a mouse.

The hacker shivered, and for the sake of his mental health, he turned his gaze back and continued the topic just now: "So have you figured out how to get the remaining two coordinates? To be honest, I don't really want to try again It feels like opening up wasteland, especially this physical examination..."

For the sake of safety, after the laboratory is completed and all the equipment is ready, follow-up measures will follow immediately. The first is to confirm the impact of the strange planet on the first batch of teams. The most important thing is whether the white catkins are contagious or not. Undetectable potential impact.

To this end, all of them have undergone a full range of tests in the laboratory.

There is nothing special about the detection process, but it is a bit cumbersome because it is too comprehensive, but for the Tianshu team, it has long been used to it.

What really made the hacker shudder was the fanatical attitude of those researchers—although he can understand what a brand new planet and countless new species mean to researchers, this does not mean that hackers will not This heart has Qi Qiran.

He lowered his voice and said, "I always feel that they want to dissect us. When they studied those rabbits before, you were not present. That scene was too easy to create a psychological shadow."

Ji Ting got a tube of blood drawn, and after cooperating with the test on the equipment, he received a set of protective clothing from those white coats, which was tightly wrapped from head to toe, with a built-in gas filter. can provide oxygen.

All in all, it is a set of multi-functional protective clothing with full safety.

Ji Ting put on the protective clothing and jumped on the spot: "It's not the same as the protective clothing on Earth, have they improved?"

The scope is not very happy to wear protective clothing. At the moment, he is muttering something like "wearing this will slow down the reaction speed". Hearing the words, he said casually: "Thanks to the ball, after all, there are still a lot of problems to improve the protective clothing on the earth. To solve, what kind of equipment and production process, etc., but there are not so many problems at all with the ball, a few more experiments, after confirming the manufacturing map, the production line will be in place at once.”

The canned food was adapting to the heavy protective clothing, and also interjected: "So those people are crazy with joy. Didn't you see the pile of new buildings outside? They were all made by them for production experiments. The wooden warehouses have all been made, and other weapons are currently being considered.”

The Tianshu team put on protective clothing, walked out of the building where the laboratory was located, and entered the layered silver-white building complex.

No matter who saw this scene, they would never have imagined that just a few days ago, this place was still a wasteland.

Ji Ting was a little surprised: "I thought they had been studying how to improve the nutrient solution recently?"

Speaking of this, Baozi immediately resonated: "Right, the taste of today's nutrient solution has improved a lot, but I still miss white rice and braised pork more."

Liu Xuanjin tried to touch the bridge of his nose, but he raised his hand and realized that he was wearing a mask. He couldn't touch the bridge of his nose at all. He lowered his hands and said, "Don't think about it. Given the current situation of this planet, the option of growing vegetables is definitely not within the scope of consideration."

After all, who can guarantee what is planted?By analogy, animal husbandry is also out of consideration.

So nutrient solution is still the best choice at present, at least it is safe enough, and it can also guarantee the daily nutrition needed by the human body.

Baozi put on a mask of pain: "I have already begun to miss the earth. To be honest, I can understand Li Kai now. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my own doghouse..."

He turned to look at Ji Ting while he was talking, and when he was 8000 meters away from the topic, he actually brought the topic back to the original question: "So, is there any way to quickly get the remaining two coordinates? I It's not that I can't bear hardships, I just think there is no need to waste time, if there is an easier way, why go through this process again?"

The hackers and the others showed sympathetic expressions.

Ji Ting: "I think the spaceship is a good idea, but the limitations of the teleporter are too great."

"Who doesn't know this?" The scope murmured, "But even if the spaceship can be built, no one can open it, and the teleporter can reach the destination directly, but the spaceship needs us to go there by ourselves-you know road?"

He pointed out the shortcomings of the spaceship, so the scene was instantly cold.

During the conversation, they had already reached the edge of the deep pit, but right now, using the deep pit to describe it is not enough image.

Under further development, the original rough and simple pit became a vertically downward excavation well, and the original underground passage was added with ziplines and conveyor belts to facilitate their underground operations.

Ji Ting and the others went down the excavation well familiarly, tied the safety rope and zipline around their waists, and slid down the passage directly, quickly reaching the mechanical platform at the end of the passage.

There are a bunch of machines on the mechanical platform, and a "beacon" is being built above the "core" of the intricate root system.

Ji Ting has seen the design drawing of the beacon. It looks like a triangular tower, but in essence it is a complex high-tech product—anyway, Ji Ting did not understand the structure of the blueprint, but only understood the "beacon" It will use this "earth center" as its foundation, cross the ground, and go straight into the sky, just like a real beacon, with an astonishing height and extremely eye-catching.

But right now, the beacon has not yet been completed, and the most basic cornerstone is still under construction.

"I found the blueprint of the spaceship," Li Kai happily told Ji Ting the good news, and found that Ji Ting didn't seem very happy: "Have you changed your mind again?"

Ji Ting relayed Sight's concerns about the spacecraft.

Li Kai was stunned: "It is really difficult to drive the simplest version of a spaceship. Even professionals need to go through a series of studies and obtain a driver's license before they can go on the road, not to mention that you don't even have a star map of this galaxy.

But other types of spaceships cannot be built by Xiaolan alone. "

Ji Ting: "So I'm wondering if there is any other way, or I can only choose a long-distance fixed-point teleporter."

Li Kai thought for a while and comforted Ji Ting: "Just let it go, the long-distance fixed-point teleporter can do it. Besides, isn't the first beacon soon to be built? Don't worry, when you reach the target planet, the second stage will be completed." The inheritance will be in your hands immediately, helping you adapt to the new environment as soon as possible and establish a beacon."

Li Kai did what he said, when Ji Ting arrived at planet [-] using the teleporter on planet [-], he saw the legacy of the second stage for the first time.

When Ji Ting fell straight into the flames, huge bubbles fell from the sky, wrapped him inside, floated in the flames, and pulled Ji Ting back from the brink of death.
