"Venus Fire Rock Beast!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Hurry up!" Duanmu Yunke shouted hurriedly.
"good!"
The monitoring personnel quickly grabbed the intercom, pressed the public channel switch, and said loudly:
"Attention everyone, the Venus Fire Rock Beast has been found in Cave No. 10! Please ask the cave controller to collect the breath and send it to all the detection mecha beetles immediately for breath tracking."
The geological expert took the phone and ordered:
"Pay attention to the animal trap in the main passage to see if it can be clamped. At the same time, a B-02 special robot is dispatched to go deep into the pit and magma to search for biological feces residue."
"good!"
The guards guarding the 12 wells responded one after another.
While waiting, everyone once again observed the picture on the big screen.
At the bottom of the screen, the detection data of the Venus Fire Rock Beast is clearly displayed.
Body height: 0.5 meters;
Body length: 1.5 meters;
Body width: 0.7 meters;
Oral temperature: 70℃;
Color: dark red;
Shell hardness: HRC55, equivalent to steel grade;
Exhaled gas: carbon dioxide mixture;
Forelimb striking force: 26KG.
Species Category: Unknown, similar to Earth Star Crocodile.
The monitoring personnel simultaneously clicked on another data file to check the channel environment conditions.
The average underground temperature is 90°C and the atmospheric pressure is 40°C.
The air composition index is: carbon dioxide 78%, nitrogen 18%, oxygen 3%, rare gases 0.94%, water vapor and impurities 0.07%.
The most abundant elements in soil are: iron, silicon, aluminum, copper, silver, oxygen, gold, molybdenum, and rare earth elements. The most abundant element is iron.
The geological expert continued the previous topic and continued his professional explanation.
"Now, we temporarily name this unknown creature the Venus Fire Rock Beast!"
"According to the images, in order to adapt to the strong atmospheric pressure, the fire rock beast's vision has been severely degraded. It is estimated that there are fatal flaws in the visual range and distance."
"Its tail has shortened, indicating functional atrophy."
"Its scales have become thicker and metallic. This is the result of eating too much metal. The insulation effect needs to be verified. It is estimated that there is a thick inner layer of calcium insulation."
After a pause, the geologist seemed to be thinking:
"As for the intelligence level of the fire rock beast, I judge that it should be higher than most other biological species on the planet except humans."
"Based on the information currently available, it can be preliminarily confirmed that their intelligence is equivalent to the brain fields of earthly apes or foxes. They have certain simple logical thinking and can relatively skillfully use natural conditions to find and optimize their living environment to ensure life. continuation."
After moistening his throat, he continued:
"I don't have much research on biology. There is no physical testing and analysis on the digestive system, respiratory system, metabolic system, cell structure, life continuation, offspring raising, etc. of the fire beast. It's hard to make false claims. Let's not mention it for now. You can figure it out for yourself. "
Duanmu Yunke and his deputy Sikong Taimin looked at each other and smiled, understanding.
For them, knowing that there are living creatures on Venus is enough.
Many confusions and questions will be solved, which will play an indispensable role in the next important research.
Several people had a heated discussion around the Venus Fire Rock Beast, and gained a new understanding of this planet that was judged to be a restricted area for life, which is of extraordinary significance.
The focus of everyone's discussion is how this tenacious creature can withstand the annihilation blow of the environment, survive strongly, and thrive to this day.
Everyone was not only deeply shocked, but also deeply moved.
"The animal trap didn't keep it, and it scraped off a few scales!"
At this moment, the first piece of good news came from the underground well, and synchronized images were displayed on the big screen.
Everyone looked up and saw a piece of dark red shiny scales displayed on the big screen, which looked hard and textured. The preliminary test data next to it confirmed this judgment.
Subsequently, the physical object was sent to the transport saucer.
Everyone was very excited and took turns to touch this object with the breath of life, and they were filled with emotions.
For the first time, everyone is no longer so disgusted with this lifeless, hot and boiling planet, and no longer so desperate.
In the eyes of everyone, this scale is oval in shape, red on the outside and white on the inside, shaped like a shell, with no trace of blood exposed, only the ligaments connecting the ends.
Under a magnifying glass, several traces of blood could be seen hidden inside, which should be pipes transporting metal substances.
"Report, the B-02 special robot fished out a composite metal block from the crater magma!"
At this moment, the second piece of good news came from the underground well, and the synchronized image was displayed on the big screen.
Everyone turned around and looked up. What appeared on the big screen were several irregular metal blocks that had been cooled at high temperatures. After long-term magma smelting, they had become extremely smooth.
Whether it is the slightly transparent silver-gray color, the smooth mirror-like touch, or its unit weight, it gives people the impression of diamond-like preciousness.
At the bottom of the picture, after a large amount of preliminary test data was listed, the instrument gave the test result: high-grade composite solder gold, with a mass of about 100 tons.
"High-grade composite solder gold!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Is it true that Venus can produce high-grade composite solder gold?"
"This is not self-produced by Venus. This is the masterpiece of Venus's fire rock beasts. Their feces were melted by high-temperature magma and combined repeatedly for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to remove impurities and leave the essence behind, which led to the formation of today's high-tech Composite products. This is using the most primitive technology to extract high-quality metal composites.”
"It's incredible that they can actually forge materials used to weld shuttle-type starship carriers!"
tomato
"If this kind of thing reaches the ears of other drilling teams, they will definitely think we are joking."
"Give them a surprise. I really want to see their idiotic faces with their mouths open in an O shape, haha!"
"We must quickly report the good news to the Second Marshal. He will definitely reward us greatly."
"It's a great achievement. This time it's worth a few hundred points. I'm so happy."
"Wow, I'm so prosperous now, and there are lots of bonuses, hahahaha!"
Soon, the physical samples were delivered to the transport flying saucer, and even the two dark energy experts who were discussing in low voices next to them couldn't help but come over to take a look.
Everyone held up this heavy smooth composite metal block with both hands and looked at it carefully. The more they looked at it, the more they looked at it, which looked unattractive at first.
Undoubtedly, everyone's unanimous agreement confirmed the results of this instrument.
"Report, the detection machine beetle has tracked the entrance of the Venus Fire Rock Beast's lair based on its breath lock."
At this moment, the third piece of good news came from the underground well, and the image was simultaneously displayed on the big screen.
What was presented to everyone was an entrance. A rock blocking the entrance of the cave had been pulled open by a small robot, revealing a spiraling hole that could just accommodate the entry and exit of the Venus Fire Rock Beast.
Obviously, these intelligent underground creatures consciously use the terrain features to protect their hiding places and effectively avoid high temperature erosion.
The geological expert called up the structural diagram of the underground passage and explained to everyone:
"Everyone, please see, as I guessed just now, there is indeed at least one layer of passages above the second level of passages. The lair of the Fire Rock Beast is probably somewhere above this."
"The most interesting thing is that this area is just under a rock layer that is nearly 100 meters thick."
"This rock formation is about 500 meters in diameter. The four previously selected points were unable to penetrate and were forced to change their positions. This basically proves that this is a 'pin'-shaped rock formation structure."
"While blocking magma, it relatively effectively retains soil moisture, making it a habitat for this group of fire rock beasts."
The drilling team leader who had been accompanying him all the time couldn’t help but ask questions:
"Venus took at least tens of millions of years from the emergence of life to its decline. Even if they were survivors at the end of environmental deterioration, they should have survived for tens of millions of years. Why did they only eat this small piece in such a long time? There are only a few left in the area, or in other words, this group of creatures.”
The geological expert shook his head and said: "My knowledge of biological evolution is not enough to solve this confusion for you."
"My personal guess is that at the end of the massive death of life on Venus, there were only a very small number of survivors who survived through evolutionary transformation."
"Later, due to the difficulty of life reproduction, it has been maintained not far from the endangered line, resulting in extremely slow development of the species."
"There is also a possibility that this is their new habitat, so the feeding range is not large, which is also possible."
"For other reasons, I'm sorry that I can't do anything because of the limitations of my understanding."
"The two dark energy experts may know the reason, so they might as well clear up your doubts."
The geologist turned to the protagonists of the trip and kicked the ball to them.
Duanmu Yunke and deputy Sikong Taimin both shook their heads, saying they were even more confused about the reason.
At this time, the team leader responsible for monitoring the entrance to the Venus Fire Rock Beast's lair sent a request:
"Report to the squad leader whether we want to send a small robot down, administer hallucinogens to hypnotize us, and then capture the Venus Fire Rock Beast."
"This..."
The team leader did not dare to make any unauthorized claims, and turned to look at the geological expert. Unexpectedly, the geological expert very knowingly pretended not to see it, lowered his head and ordered the monitor to send all the data to his terminal.
The squad leader had no choice but to turn around and look at the two dark energy experts, waiting for their answers.
This operation was originally carried out at the request of these two people, and it would be best to leave the final decision to them.
Sikong Taimin consciously kept silent. It was a basic rule to respect the team leader Duanmu Yunke in front of outsiders.
Duanmu Yunke coughed dryly and said with a smile:
“First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Jimo, the geological expert, for giving us a vivid geology lesson and popularizing common knowledge about the evolution of pyrozoologists, which benefited us two laymen a lot.
Once again, we would like to express our special thanks to the squad leader and all his technical staff for taking a lot of time to help us find underground creatures. Please convey this sincere gratitude to us on behalf of the squad leader.
When necessary, the two of us will truthfully report your strong support and assistance in front of the Second Commander, and leave your names in the credit book. "
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, their hearts became hot, and they expressed their gratitude.
Everyone was very aware of how much Second Commander Zishu Fuming valued and supported the two dark energy experts.
As long as these two people are willing to come forward and put in good words, their credit is a sure thing.
Therefore, those who can meet the requirements of the two dark energy experts will definitely try their best to meet them.
Although this mission was delayed a bit, it did not suffer a loss. Instead, it gained a lot.
