"The Jar Man ignores us."

This sentence was said without a clue, and Li Liang was a little confused. It was not until he read the video data provided by the advance army that he discovered that Jung's description was actually very accurate.

After supervising the evacuation of the goblins and completing the handover, the advance army sent four reconnaissance companies successively. The first company was stationed in the anchor space. The second and third companies were responsible for the defense of the spiritual gate on the Gili side and the surrounding areas. The fourth company cooperated with the construction corps on the planet surface. The satellite was launched, and after the satellite system completed terrain mapping, it was ordered to search for the entrance to the underground city in several geological structural fissures.

The image data comes from the Fourth Reconnaissance Company. The mission of this elite company is codenamed "Operation Hunting." The entire mission took a week from departure to arrival in the underground city. Jung cut four clips for reporting.

The first sequence was filmed in an armored pontoon. From the perspective of the camera, the camera equipment should be mounted on the shoulder of a scout.

In the picture, the space inside the boat is cramped, and more than a dozen scouts wearing covered tactical armor are suspended on the truss. The bilge under their feet is completely open, and the ground can be seen flying by.

A few minutes later, the camera switched to outside the cabin, showing a spherical panorama, which seemed to come from an armed drone flying at low altitude.

The sky is like a rich oil painting, while the ground is endless, desolate and gray, with few ups and downs.

After a moment, the camera returned to the cabin, and the voice of a certain scout sounded in the video: "Chuck, how much longer?"

"Chuck" replied: "Two hours."

The communication channel fell silent again, with only the sound of breathing coming and going.

The screen flashed and the second video began.

The scene became wider, and the Fourth Reconnaissance Company was marching on foot. The camera undulated and shook, and the backs of seven or eight scouts could be seen. They were advancing in a fan shape. Judging from their gait, they seemed to be walking with great difficulty.

For a moment, the camera stopped and turned to the rear. The more than ten scouts following behind were scattered in the same formation. Dozens of androids at the end of the team were carrying baggage. Farther away, an armored pontoon was hovering in the air, and the background was still colorful. Under the sky, it is impossible to tell whether it is day or night.

At this time, a calm voice sounded from the communication channel: "Found it."

The camera turned back, the movement speed increased significantly, and he quickly arrived at the front of the team.

A small crack less than two meters wide and only four to five meters long suddenly appeared on the flat ground. It would be difficult to find it unless the distance was close enough.

Someone said, "Chuck, let the puppies out."

A scout came to the edge of the gap from the back of the team, unloaded the box on his back, and took out a metal ball the size of a watermelon. He held it up with one hand. Countless tiny "crumbs" peeled off the surface of the ball and flew into the air. , but they fell one after another the next second.

"The gravity conditions here can only amplify dogs," "Chuck" put the ball back into the box and took out four palm-sized "Octopus" drones one after another.

The four "big dogs" successfully soared into the air, circled once, then dropped into the gap and disappeared.

A light curtain is projected on the chest of "Chuck". As the drone descends, the meticulous three-dimensional terrain slowly appears. At first, the cracks go straight downward, and then become wider and wider. At a certain moment, the terrain boundary suddenly disappears, and in the upper right corner The displayed distance number jumped rapidly and soon reached four digits.

"Geological Hole No. 1 is much larger than the calculated range," "Chuck" stood up, "Company Commander, why don't you let the androids go down and take a look."

The screen jumps to the third video.

A beam of light shot out straight from a place very close to the lens, and was swallowed up by darkness in the very distance, showing that the spatial scale here far exceeded the lighting range. The beam began to sweep left and right, but still didn't illuminate anything, then moved upward, and soon finally appeared. The outline of the light spot shows that the height of the dome is not exaggerated.

The camera moved away from the light source, and the picture gradually became clearer. It turned out that the Fourth Company had penetrated deep underground and reached the edge of an underground cliff.

For a moment, the camera focused downwards, and a hazy light appeared at the end of the boundless darkness, like a distant city-state under the night.

When seeing this scene, everyone in the voyage fleet seemed to be immersed in the scene and subconsciously held their breath.

Twenty thousand kilometers underground, Gaius is listing civilizations.

The camera paused for a few seconds and continued to move, then focused on the feet. Dozens of androids were seen climbing down the nearly vertical cliff. Each person had a signal light on their body, and the flickering light spot in the deepest part was already indiscernible.

The screen jumps again to the last image.

In front of the camera, several scouts were setting up large-scale lighting equipment. The light and shadow were swaying. The ground beneath their feet was pale gold and vaguely engraved with complex patterns. It was still pitch black outside the lighting range. It was impossible to tell whether they were indoors or outdoors.

Suddenly, a weird robot bursts into the picture.

Taking the height of the scout not far away as a reference, it is only one meter tall at most, roughly human-shaped, with its back hunched over, and its lower body is made up of four mechanical legs with a simple structure. The gears and chains are directly exposed, and it is covered by two slender arms. There is a white film, and the most conspicuous thing is that there is a silver-white cylindrical jar hanging on its chest, with a hose extending from the top of the jar and connected to its "head".

The so-called head is more like a fish can, resting directly on the shoulders. It seems to have no rotating parts at all. There are two circular "lenses" inlaid on the front, which seem to be made of glass, with a translucent and smooth surface.

Li Liang instantly recognized that this was a Gaius Sile person.

Zero One, who had returned from negotiations in Avalon, reported information on the four spiritual core mines, including the appearance characteristics of the intelligent lifeforms in each spiritual core mine, including the Gaiasians.

However, the "jar man" in the report is static, but the one in front of him is a living thing.

It turned a blind eye to the humans who were so close. It moved staggeringly from the left to the right of the screen like an emperor penguin. When passing by a box on the ground, it tripped over the opened lid and staggered to the side. I stumbled several steps before I could stand upright.

The camera then moved to the right. Soon, the Gaius Slei man walked out of the lighting range, and his back gradually disappeared.

Li Liang felt like something was shaking in the darkness.

As if to respond to his thoughts, the camera zoomed in very tacitly, and for a moment, he finally saw clearly that those shadowy things... were countless people from Gaias.

"These robots..." Cain looked away from the holographic image, turned around and wondered, "Are they blind?"

Jung grinned: "We thought so too at first, but later we discovered that the 'Jar Man' knew we existed."

Li Liang asked: "How did you find out?"

"I asked the Fourth Company to pick a jar man at random and shoot it." Jung chuckled, his belly trembling. "After the jar man was electrocuted, all the jar men around him gathered together. Come over and surround the Fourth Company’s camp.”

"..."

Li Liang seriously doubted whether this guy's resume was watertight.

Li Sen on the side snorted: "Reckless man."

But Cain asked enthusiastically: "Go on, what next?"

"Then they gathered around for a while and then dispersed."

"Gone?"

"No more," Jung spread his hands, "That's why I said the Jar Man ignored us."

Everyone in the voyage fleet looked at each other.

Li Liang thought of the "anatomy experiments" of the Enino Advance Army, frowned and asked, "Have you captured a few of them for study?"

"Caught," Jung waved behind him, "Lao An, tell me."

The scientific officer of the advance army stepped forward, raised his hands and said: "Father God, after dismantling it, we found that the body of Gaias Stoller is composed of 95% 'dasettt' and 5% 'dasettt compound'. Dasettt is a substance that has not yet been discovered in the human universe. It can react with argon gas to generate another compound. This special compound acts like a transmitter, activating the network tissue built by dasettt, thereby driving the network tissue. The associated mechanical structure, in terms of life form, the Gaias Storians are closer to robots..."

At this time, the scientific officer of the expedition fleet asked: "Have you performed a tunnel scan on dasettt?"

"Of course, the density of states, charge density, surface barrier changes, including the energy gap structure are completely different from our universe," Lao An quickly replied, "There is also X-ray fluorescence analysis, the data obtained does not conform to the known solid electron Energy spectrum, we also conducted inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy analysis, and found no spectral lines and intensities close to those of known elements."

"Where's the Higgs field?"

Lao An smiled bitterly: "We don't have a Higgs field interactive machine, this kind of heavy equipment..."

"It's on the Nautilus," the scientific officer of the expedition fleet said casually.

"Ah?" Lao An's face was full of surprise, "Great, hurry up, let's..."

"The meeting hasn't ended yet, so what?" Jung cursed, then turned and grinned at Li Liang, "Father, look..."

"You go and do your work first," Li Liang smiled at Lao An. The way the scientific officer was focused on research reminded him of Dr. Xisen.

"Okay, okay, Father God."

After watching the two science officers leave together, Li Liang looked back at the frozen image in mid-air and smiled: "It's time for us to set off."
