"Is your mission to find the interstellar liaison device, or to repair it?" Li Sa asked briefly.
Li Tianya said: "You found that device, do you still want to repair it? Don't worry, Dr. Yao and I may be able to help with repairs or something."
Li Sa slightly felt embarrassed and said: "This is a personal mission, why do I have the nerve to trouble you?"
Li Tianya said: "Then what benefits do you promise me? You can pay, but you don't seem to have any money?"
Li Sa'an said: "Well, I think we can help each other in other ways. For example, I will work more while digging the soil."
"I'll do more of the hard work, and you'll be on guard. I'll need you to use your brain and spirit when the time comes." Li Tianya stopped joking. The two have known each other for such a long time. Although there is no love between a man and a woman, the trust between them has long been established. Already established. Don't say it's a life-and-death friendship, just help as much as you can, and don't care about the gains and losses.
Li Sa's heart also felt the long-lost warmth given by his teammates. In her previous life, she had never imagined that she would meet such a good friend. She thought that her teammates were just an exchange of interests. In this life, she also has good friends like Yao Feier and Li Tianya. How lucky is she? Maybe it’s because you gave up your wealth that you got this kind of luck?
So where is the "unlucky" side effect of Li Tianya, which has a hidden attribute of "rich gold"?
Li Sa thought about it for a moment, then quickly put away his relaxed mood. After all, walking with Li Tianya, he might have to consider what unexpected situation might happen at any time. Hopefully, it would be similar to the world of heavy rain and floods. The two of them would work together to offset each other's side effects and complete the mission without any danger. Li Tianya's superpower is defensive in nature. If something goes wrong, the two of them can survive together.
With the robot working hard, Li Sa and the others quickly dug the ventilation duct.
This ventilation duct is made entirely of stone, using the same boulder cutting and stacking technology. The surface of the stone is very smooth and can be seen by light. However, people cannot stand up and can only crawl on all fours.
Of course there were some insect beasts in the passage, but they fled far away. Li Sa guessed that maybe the bone fragments of insect beasts they carried had a deterrent effect, or it could be that the robots contaminated with poison sacs posed some threat. In short, those small insect beasts that could not mark their brain energy were not something to be afraid of.
Occasionally, she would encounter giant centipedes wandering out of the ground. She could make them retreat with a little control using her brainwave energy.
Li Sa saw some fragments of information from the minds of these giant centipedes. They knew that the temperature outside had dropped, so they carefully chose to dig tunnels from the ground to places where the temperature was still tolerable. Their scope of activities is wider than Li Sa thought, and there are concepts such as tribal divisions.
Thousand-legged giant centipedes have tribes and families. Their leaders live relatively long, more than ten years, and can record and pass on a lot of knowledge. They know the cycle of the polar night and monopolize knowledge as a tool for rule. The younger generations born on the planet are enslaved and do not know those secrets.
At the bottom of the ravine is a super-large tribe, composed of many large families. It owns the mountain and nearly a hundred kilometers of territory around the mountain, and beyond that is the territory of other tribes.
They can collect information within the sphere of influence of their own tribe. Now that we have entered the extreme night period, not all plants and life will die immediately. Even if many things die due to the cooling, they still have nutritional value and can be collected as soon as possible. Store it in a cave.
Not only the thousand-legged giant centipede, but also some insect beasts also bypassed the frozen eye of the storm from underground and went to relatively warm places to find food. They all realize that they must store food to survive the long "dark night".
The Thousand-legged Giant Centipede digs very quickly underground, and seems to know how to avoid unstable rock and soil layers. Li Sa wondered if she could trick the Thousand-legged Giant Centipede into doing the work when she needs to dig soil in the future.
After climbing along the ventilation duct for a while, I encountered an upward slope. The robot could climb up directly, but it was a bit difficult for humans.
The stone wall is extremely smooth, and there are no suction cups on human palms. The dagger cannot be inserted into the stone peak. The only way is to cut a small opening with a kitchen utensil, and then use brute force to insert the dagger to form a fixed point.
After switching the daggers, Li Tianya climbed up and then climbed down along the rope. It was much easier for Li Sa to hold the rope and climb up.
After climbing along this passage for a while, it finally returned to a relatively smooth slope. However, Li Sa discovered that this section of the passage was full of potholes and no longer smooth as before. The stone here has been corroded by something.
The robot pointed to a doorway in front of him and said, "This is it. I'll go over and take a look first."
The robot's arm turned into a disassembly tool. After removing the metal grate, the space opposite was still dark. After the robot climbed down the wall, Li Sa held up the terminal lighting and looked outside, only to realize that they were in a certain room near the roof. Listening to the robot's voice, you can estimate that it is about four meters above the ground.
The robot didn't need lighting; it deftly moved to the center of the room, where there was a vertical-looking metal pillar.
Li Sa asked: "Have you found the interstellar liaison device?"
The robot touched something, and a drawer popped out from the metal pillar, revealing a box-like thing that looked like a cake box.
The robot asked, "Are you going to take this away? It's broken."
Li Tianya received the notification of completing the mission and confirmed that the robot was not lying. Then he asked: "Where is the equipment broken? Can it be repaired?"
Li Sa was not depressed. After all, the task was to repair the interstellar liaison device. If it broke, take it over and take a look. If she couldn't repair it, there were still two technical masters.
The robot said: "The energy nuclear transmission is faulty and I cannot repair it."
"You actually don't know how to repair it?" Li Sa was surprised, "Do you think there are different types of robots?"
The robot explained: "There is a maintenance agreement, and the robot is not allowed to download the knowledge related to the energy block-related components. That requires humans to repair it, don't you know?"
Li Sa stared and said nonsense: "I can't, but we have people who can. You take this equipment and we take it back to the backup landing module. Of course, someone can solve this problem."
The robot said: "This is used together with the antenna. We can only take away the main body of the device. The antenna is too long and fixed at the core of the building. It cannot be cut and disassembled."
It turns out that the interstellar liaison device actually has a matching antenna? So after it's repaired, it definitely needs to be brought here before it can actually be used.
Li Sa once again observed the huge cylindrical pillar in the center of the room. It stood tall and penetrated the stone structure. It was estimated that a long section was exposed at the outermost edge of the building.
Li Sa asked: "Is the antenna still intact?"
The robot tested it and said: "The section of the antenna that exposes the building seems to be covered by something, and the conduction efficiency is greatly reduced."
Li Sa compared the nearby terrain map that Yao Feier had sent before and thought that the outside of the antenna should be covered with rock and soil. There might be some plant roots or even insect nests blocking the signal nearby.
The most important thing right now is to see how to repair this interstellar liaison device. It is estimated that future tasks will be related to the use of the liaison device. As long as the antenna here is still there, it is possible to repair it.
Li Sa received the interstellar liaison device brought by the robot into his own space, and suddenly felt a wave of panic in his mind, which came from the giant centipede.
Several thousand-legged giant centipedes nearby have been under her monitoring. This time, the panic came from one of the thousand-legged giant centipedes. The message was about the hot spring that had broken a channel, and the water flow was getting bigger and bigger, pouring in all the way. many channels.
