The entire planet is covered in thick ice that stretches to the end that cannot be seen.
There is nothing on the surface of the planet, no green can be seen, only icebergs one after another, and violent storms rolling across the surface of the ice.
Ten frigates were suspended inside the planet against the strong wind. In the bridge of the command ship, Fang Chen checked the signal of the archaeological chip and the signal from the planet again. After confirming the specific location again, the warship accelerated and sailed into the distance.
In less than half an hour, the battleship anchored over a huge valley.
It looks like a huge river valley, with towering mountains and plateaus on both sides. One side is only two or three thousand meters high, and the other side is five or six thousand meters high. There is a huge river valley two or three kilometers wide in the middle. Covered with thick ice, the signal came from the river valley.
The battleship circled back and forth over the river valley twice, and finally determined a certain position.
Then, Fang Chen opened the universe in his palm, released a hundred unmanned mining robots, and took out the mining cutting laser spray gun to cut through the thick ice on the ground.
Now he didn't know what the archaeological ruins underneath looked like. He didn't dare to bombard it with naval guns, lest it be accidentally destroyed.
During this cutting period, eight frigates flew in all directions, preparing to scout the situation on the planet.
Time passed, and five hours later, the thick ice on the ground was cut away, revealing a passage directly under the ice several hundred meters thick. It can be seen from the drone reconnaissance footage that there are many holes at the bottom of the thick ice near the plateau. There were few building remains, and it looked like it was part of an abandoned base.
Then under his command, the mining robots dug around the abandoned base to expand the site.
This project lasted four full days before the abandoned base and surrounding ice were dug out.
At the same time, the frigates sent out for reconnaissance have also returned. The eight warships found nothing, and no abnormalities were found on the entire planet.
After the scene was cleared, Fang Chen sent an engineering team to clean up the rubble.
Two more days later, the ruins were cleared, and the remains were cleared away, revealing the outline of an abandoned base.
There is nothing to study in the abandoned base. You can see it all at a glance. The archaeological target is not this abandoned base, but a huge artificial cave on the side of the abandoned base near the plateau. The real core of the base is underground.
It is worth mentioning that this abandoned base was not abandoned naturally, but was destroyed by an attack.
There are many craters and traces of laser cannon bombardment in the base.
The frigate slowly lowered its height, and Fang Chen opened the universe in his palm. A fully armed fifth-level clone squadron and a 20-person elite genetic warrior team came out, including 5 armored vehicles and 5 small combat platforms. Under the command of a squadron leader, he entered the artificial cave.
This artificial cave is quite large. Although it cannot accommodate frigates, ordinary armored vehicles and combat platforms can still enter.
The full name of the combat platform is an all-terrain multi-functional combat platform. It can be suspended, has retractable wheels, and has mechanical legs and arms for walking. It can adapt to any terrain.
It can accommodate up to ten warriors to operate various weapons on the combat platform, and its combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.
Things like archeology certainly didn't require him, the commander, to take risks himself.
However, through the team's own communication system, he can enter the underground with his men immersed in the scene and command in real time.
The interior of the artificial cave is very cold, and the stone walls are covered with a thick layer of ice. However, the ice layer is only thick at the entrance of the cave, and the ice layer becomes thinner as you go inside.
There is no lighting in the cave, and you can only see the surroundings through the lighting of the drone.
Fang Chen could see the artificial traces on the wall through the communication, and there were also some remaining remains of lighting equipment, but they had broken down many years ago.
Stretching down the hole, there are still remnants of the track under the feet, but it is broken in some places, and there are still some craters and shelled bullets.
After walking down for about a kilometer, I saw a rail car parked on the track that had obviously been blown up, with several dead bones and scattered robots on it.
Checking the skeleton shape, it is not human, it should be a humanoid creature.
Moreover, many parts of this skeleton body contain metal structures, and it seems that they should have been mechanically modified.
The robot is in a non-human form, and the material should be T2 level technology, which is not high.
As the team continued down, more vehicles and corpses began to appear, including humanoid bones and broken robots, and they were all walking outwards, as if they were escaping from the inside.
These corpses are all of the same type, and their bodies have been more or less mechanically modified.
"Is this a civilization that takes the route of mechanical ascension?"
The team continued to move forward, passing through the dense group of wreckage and dead bones, and came to the end of the passage. At a glance, they saw a huge square behind the blasted door. The square was full of dead bones and robots.
The team slowly approached and came to the entrance of the cave, and suddenly heard a harsh mechanical sound coming from inside:
"Alert: Organic organisms detected, initiate organic removal plan!"
"Alert: Organic organisms detected, initiate organic removal plan!"
The siren seemed to be a signal. Many robots that had fallen to the ground among the piles of dead bones in the square suddenly turned on their red signal lights and began to shake.
However, most of the robots were damaged and unable to move. Only a few of them could still move. They dragged their broken bodies, picked up the weapons at hand, stood up, and rushed toward the passage.
"Prepare for battle!"
Five armored vehicles were lined up in a row, with four heavy pulse machine guns, four laser launchers and two small anti-aircraft electromagnetic guns on each vehicle aiming at the channel.
When the first robot poured into the passage, there was a clear gunshot, and a shelling bullet flashed under the urging of electromagnetic force, easily blasting a spherical robot with eight metal arms on its body that could shoot lasers. Crush.
The battle signal sounded, followed by continuous gunfire and laser fire.
In addition to armored vehicles, five small combat platforms are equipped with a total of twenty heavy pulse machines and laser launchers, and four small anti-aircraft laser cannons.
In addition, the clone troopers and elite genetic warriors were each equipped with laser transmitters or electromagnetic rifles, and the combined firepower within the small hole was extremely fierce. The robots inside were killed as many as they came, and there was no way to break through their firepower network.
The crazy killing lasted for more than 20 minutes. Unknown how many robots were destroyed, and debris piled up at the entrance of the cave.
Until this time, the number of robots coming gradually decreased, but they did not dare to take it lightly. Instead, they continued to guard the entrance of the cave. An unmanned reconnaissance robot slowly drove towards the entrance of the cave. With the help of the equipment above, Fang Chen saw the underground Overall view of the base.
This is a very large underground space. The diameter of the central hall alone is nearly two hundred meters, and there are many passages around it that extend to other places.
The floor and ceiling were all made of metal, with thick load-bearing columns standing at the base. The floor was littered with debris and discarded instruments.
