"Brother Qun, be careful of the ground."
Li Dongsheng carefully reminded Li Zongqun and others behind him while arranging fluorescent sticks on the ground.
A total of five people went down to the ground this time, and six people were left above to do ground experiments and transport materials.
"Well, the degree of weathering is very high. It seems that it has been around for thousands of years." Li Zongqun agreed, but his eyes never forgot to glance at the ground. All his attention was focused on the ruins in front of him, for fear of seeing Missed a glance.
There is no doubt that no matter how advanced the technology is, no matter how high the pixels of the drone's camera are, and no matter how sophisticated the long-distance communication is, it still cannot perfectly simulate the magnificence that can only be witnessed by the human eye.
Li Zongqun shined the searchlight above the underground city, and a group of bat-like creatures suddenly took off and disappeared into the darkness before the light could catch them.
"Did you see it? This is a natural underground cave. Although there are traces of artificial carvings on it, there are no traces of installation."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that when the underground city was first built, there should be stalactites and other things on it. To avoid falling off, they cleaned it up, but they didn't lay pipes or make a suspended ceiling on it. It was completely a construction adapted to local conditions. This This kind of thinking is the same as that of human beings." After a pause, Li Zongqun continued: "This means that their way of thinking, or the way of solving problems, is consistent with ours."
At this time, Ye Ming's voice sounded, and he asked with interest: "Then what?"
"Then, as a highly developed civilization, even if they enter the underground city, their thirst for sunlight must be the same as ours. I think... there should be an artificial sun here."
"That makes sense."
"Let's go to the middle of the city. If our guess is correct, there should be a surprise in the middle of the city."
"What surprise?"
"Tower of the Sun!" Li Zongqun looked at the center of the ruined city and sighed with emotion: "It has been preserved so perfectly for thousands of years. It shows that they were very good at selecting the site and did not encounter any natural disasters such as earthquakes."
Li Dongsheng had stopped and waited for them to arrive, and said with a smile: "But unfortunately there is nothing valuable, so we can only go and look at the storage room."
"That's not necessarily the case. These ruins of buildings can speak for themselves..."
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
"Teacher Li, help!"
Immediately afterwards, a distant roar came clearly into the earphones.
…
In the brain-computer center, Ye Ming opened the office door and strode towards the remote control center.
Rapid footsteps kept coming from the corridor, and then they joined him.
Including Ye Ming, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely solemn.
——Just half an hour ago, after Wen Tao, Li Dongsheng, Li Zongqun and others led the team into the underground city ruins, the originally quiet jungle suddenly erupted with loud noises, and several huge dinosaur-like creatures kept approaching and emitted roared in anger.
It's as if they are announcing to humans that they are the masters of this jungle.
After arriving at the remote control center, Ye Ming directly asked Aita to connect to a high-altitude reconnaissance drone, and then generated a holographic projection above the control center hall.
Under the projection, several attack drones on the Star Wenxing had already taken off, flying deep into the jungle with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.
The hatch of the Questioning Star has been opened, and several fully armed soldiers are jumping down.
"Aren't these dinosaurs very docile? Why did they suddenly attack? Is it territorial awareness or something?"
Ye Ming frowned deeply. He glanced left and right, and then looked at Zhao Kaiming, who took over Mo Gu's job.
Professor Zhao Kaiming is forty-two years old. Compared to Mo Gu, he is a pure biologist. Not to mention Mo Gu leaving, even when Mo Gu was around, he was still in charge of the biological field.
Zhao Kaiming was also very worried at this time. Logically speaking, he should not be involved in the affairs of Blue Star, but since Ye Ming asked, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "You shouldn't have territorial awareness, because through the past Years of observations show that this area is not their territory. From the inspection team’s observations yesterday and today, we can also find that there is no excrement on the ground.”
"Well, what could that possibly be?"
"It's...not clear at the moment."
At this time, someone beside him whispered: "Could it be that they are intelligent? They specially drove away the inspection team?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming turned his head and looked at the source of the sound, only to see a little girl closing her mouth immediately with a nervous look on her face.
"If dinosaurs had intelligence as we understand it, it would be impossible for humans to appear." Ye Ming glanced at her, but then pondered for a few seconds, frowned slightly and said, "It can only be said that they may have genetic instincts."
The girl immediately hummed.
Ye Ming also called up the vision of the attack drone.
In the temporary camp, three girls were hiding behind boxes and shivering. Three mecha warriors and engineering robots were "topped" at the front - in the jungle ahead, three or four behemoths with a height of five or six meters could be seen with the naked eye. He stared at everyone with his fist-sized eyes and kept roaring from his mouth.
There is no doubt that they are opposed to humans establishing camps here.
But they also seemed to realize that the humans in front of them were not easy to mess with, and they just kept driving them away instead of launching an attack rashly.
Hmm... From this point of view, they may indeed possess some intelligence.
At this moment, Mo Gu's voice came from the hall: "Ye Ming, I plan to go down there."
Ye Ming was startled, then raised his eyebrows: "What are you going down to do?"
"We have never collected the DNA of these big men. This is a good opportunity."
"How do you collect it?"
"What do you think?"
"Tranquilizer gun?"
"Well, the dose for an elephant should be about the same." Mo Gu said after two seconds of silence: "If the same drug operation can be achieved on an animal of this size, then..."
Mo Gu did not continue.
But Ye Ming understands.
After a few seconds of silence, he called up the camera again, and saw Mo Gu also taking people off the spacecraft, and then walked to the helicopter next to him.
Ye Ming frowned, and then breathed out softly.
After personally setting foot on the Blue Star, he keenly discovered that... the entire scientific community has "tacitly accepted" that there is a high degree of similarity between the Earth and the Blue Star.
It's similar to copy.
As a result, many people believe it, and some even assert that humans can immigrate to the Blue Star without restrictions.
However, this always made Ye Ming feel vaguely uncomfortable.
Because a high degree of looking at each other means a high degree of interference!
Humans can now move to Blue Star. Does that mean that people from Blue Star... can also move to Earth? Or even to put it that way...are they interfering with the earth just to immigrate to the earth one day?
Don't forget, the mural on the gold foil shows that Blue Star lost its satellites and most of its population in a disaster. As a last resort, they chose to live in the underground city. During the years in the underground city, their technology has been further improved, and they have the ability to travel in space - in earth time, that would be five thousand years ago.
Is it possible that they came to the earth thousands of years ago and actually interfered with the earth?
Don’t forget, they are good at biotechnology!
…
In the camp on the ground, Jiang Haitao held an automatic rifle and aimed steadily at the huge head twenty meters away, with the infrared ray directly between his eyebrows.
Although he was a little panicked by these things just now, he absolutely believed in the thing in his hands - this was just a carbon-based creature that looked a little like a dinosaur, not some invulnerable Godzilla.
If there's any trouble, it's...
Even if they didn't have any psychological burden when shooting, and there were no "Madonnas" on the entire Qingxing, but... they were a scientific expedition team after all, not hunters.
It is easy to shoot, but if such a big guy is really killed, it will inevitably affect the biosphere shape of the entire area, which is contrary to the mission and purpose of the scientific expedition team.
So, while taking aim, Jiang Haitao whispered to the girl behind him: "Don't be afraid, as long as they dare to attack, we will shoot immediately."
A girl was hiding behind the supply box and shivering: "Brother Jiang, what should I do if I can't be beaten to death? Can bullets penetrate this kind of animal?"
"...Don't read Zhihu, this is not Godzilla."
"...What if?"
"It's nothing unexpected." As Jiang Haitao said, he glanced up and saw that the top three large attack drones had arrived.
The attack drone was two meters square, with a huge warhead dropped below it. Under the sun, the black six-tube Gatling glinted.
In this world, there are no carbon-based organisms that can withstand the power of Gatling armor-piercing bullets.
When seeing the drone, these "dinosaurs" obviously showed a bit of "hesitation", and one of them roared differently from the previous roar.
After several "communications", they did not retreat, but continued to roar lowly.
And as they roared, another roar came from further away, as if in response.
Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Jiang Haitao suddenly became nervous, his finger just pressed against the trigger, waiting for these animals to show signs of attack, he would fire immediately.
At this moment, a huge propeller sound broke through the air.
Jiang Haitao looked up and saw a bi-wing propeller military helicopter approaching quickly.
The movement of the helicopter... was far beyond what a drone could compare to, let alone such a large helicopter. The powerful airflow forced the entire jungle to sway, causing all the grass to fall collectively.
The animals that resembled dinosaurs were obviously startled when they saw the helicopter arriving.
Immediately afterwards, they roared again, seemingly unwillingly, and then slowly retreated.
On the ground, Jiang Haitao slowly released his index finger and took a long breath.
Then, the helicopter opened fire.
"Quick, get ready to follow."
…
In the brain-computer center, Ye Ming has been controlling the camera, tracking the fleeing "dinosaurs" on the spot. After counting silently in his mind, he found that the last dinosaur fell instantly.
Its companion simply looked back, let out a mournful cry, and then continued to run away without looking back.
Ye Ming pursed his lips and glanced at the girl who just guessed whether "they" were intelligent.
How could such a big person really be intelligent?
