The messenger's memory picture was incomplete, and his field of vision was narrow. He only saw a black shadow throughout the process, and did not see the whole picture.

But at this moment, the center of the valley was empty, with no shadows and no images on the stone platform.

Chu Jungui looked up at the sky, and there was not even a messenger.

Then he remembered that all the messengers had been killed by the rose.

Looking around at this time, the valley was filled with corpses and smoke, and there were only rocks everywhere. There was no vegetation at all, and no caves could be seen. In addition, the ground in the valley is very flat and does not look natural at all.

Chu Jungui looked at the ground under his feet, suddenly squatted down and observed carefully. The ground was as smooth as a layer of polished marble, with countless tiny holes on it, as if they had been pricked by needles.

If you don't observe carefully, you may mistake these small holes for natural holes. However, in the eyes of the test subject, these tiny holes are arranged so neatly that the distance error is as low as the micron level, making it impossible for ordinary humans to distinguish the error with the naked eye. If Li Ruobai were here, he would definitely feel very comfortable.

Chu Jungui called Lin Xi over, pointed at the ground and said, "There is something wrong with the small hole on it."

Lin Xi squatted down, adjusted the mode of the mask display, and finally saw the neatly arranged pores. She pressed one hand on the ground, then her personal terminal sent out shock waves, and then used the shock echo to outline the underground terrain. After a while, Lin Xi looked at the echo analysis results and said, "Everything down here is solid."

Chu Jungui squatted down, knocked on the ground, and then said: "No, everything below 10 meters is empty."

A full ten meters of solid rock formation has exceeded the terrain detection capabilities of the personal terminal, but the test subject casually tapped it and the result was obtained. However, Lin Xi had become accustomed to Chu Jungui's various idiosyncratic behaviors, so he immediately asked someone to bring the construction truck over to prepare for excavation on the spot.

The engineering vehicle carefully walked around the large stone platform and arrived at the central area.

Seeing those stone platforms, Chu Jungui suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "Take away all the stone platforms and move them to the base."

The soldiers had already scanned the stone platform, and the results showed that the material was ordinary stone, so they didn't care. But now that Chu Jungui had given the order, they worked in pairs and moved the stone platforms back to the mobile base one by one.

The engineering vehicle was already in place, extending its multi-functional boom, with an impact drill already installed on it and nailed to the ground. As the engineering vehicle started, the impact drill made loud noises and continuously impacted the rocky ground.

Surprisingly, after a fierce impact, a shallow bowl-like pit was left on the ground...

The rocky ground in the valley was much harder than expected, and even Chu Jungui was surprised. He collected the broken stone fragments and ordered someone to analyze the composition. He then asked the engineering vehicle to replace the drill bit and install a cutting saw.

The cutting saw of the construction truck is not just for cutting trees. In fact, it can cut anything from metal to stone.

However, after another piercing noise, the cutting saw's teeth were all smoothed away, and there was only a shallow groove as deep as the palm of your hand on the ground.

Next, the engineering vehicle changed seven or eight tools and switched dozens of modes. However, after scrapping several drill bits and a dozen saw blades, there was no progress other than leaving some scratches on the ground.

Lin Xi was not frustrated at all when his exploration progress was hindered. Instead, he stared at the rocky ground with bright eyes. Needless to say, there must be something mysterious about materials that even a construction truck cannot handle. This is common sense.

Although this kind of rock is hard, it is not invulnerable. The solution is either to blast it or to find a passage to the underground space.

Chu Jungui stopped the engineering vehicle, took out his pistol, and fired several shots at the ground. Of course, these shots had no results, but Chu Jungui had obtained the necessary data based on the differences in the shock echoes of the shots. Taking the center of the valley as the center of the circle, he kept shooting at the ground, slowly sketching out a map of the underground structure. In the structural diagram, a passage leads to the edge of the valley.

Chu Jun returned to the edge of the valley and pointed, "The entrance to the underground passage should be over there."

Lin Xi summoned a few soldiers and followed Lord Chu back to the edge of the valley. Here there are several rock pockets standing on the ground, and the entrance is seen from the other side.

Chu Jungui did not rush in, but checked the equipment again and took the specially made high-power shotgun from the soldier. He loaded the special armor-breaking shotgun into the gun, then turned on the spotlight of the armor and walked into the passage immediately.

Not far into the passage, you saw two closed doors. The door was a strange black color, like glass, with undulating lines on it.

Chu Jun returned to the door and reached out to touch it. He felt that the material was a little warm but very strong.

Lin Xi pulled out a short knife and slashed hard on the door. In the harsh sound, the tip of the carbide knife was completely destroyed, leaving only a shallow white mark on the door.

Lin Xi slammed the door and was bounced back. The door did not move at all.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xi said: "Detecting signs of life."

A dedicated reconnaissance soldier opened his personal terminal and started scanning. After a moment, he said: "Sir, no signs of life can be detected. However... the current detection range is only 5 meters, maybe less."

"Forget it, put it away and prepare to explode." Lin Xi just gave it a try. Precision instruments such as life scanners and geological structure scanners are basically useless on Planet 4.

But when she talked about the explosion, she looked at the glass-like door in front of her, filled with heartache. For such a special material, of course, the more complete the better.

"Wait a minute." Chu Jungui stopped the soldiers who were about to plant the explosives. He looked at the door and instantly switched between more than a dozen modes. Finally, in the current sensing mode, he saw that there were countless branch-like channels inside the door, and current was constantly flowing through it. Chu Jungui suddenly felt that these dendritic conductive channels were somewhat like the blood vessels of living things.

He walked to the door, looked at the door, then at the wall, then pulled out his short knife, inserted it into the wall, and pulled out a small fragment.

The fragments looked like ordinary rocks, nothing special.

Chu Jungui pondered for a moment, turned the dagger upside down, and tapped the door with the handle. After a while, suddenly at a certain frequency, the internal current near the knocking point became disordered.

Chu Jungui wrote down the frequency, then entered it into his personal terminal and loaded the research task. After a minute, the research was completed. Chu Jungui pressed his hand on the door, and his personal terminal continuously released specific shock waves, shaking the door through the armor.

The current inside the gate gradually becomes disordered, and its scope becomes larger and larger. At this time, the door vibrated obviously, and finally opened to both sides with a bang!
