The Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace flew silently over the still Sea of Red Moon, like a ghost descending from dark space, scrutinizing the eerie red world below with its innumerable eyes."
The probe has sent back a signal confirming that the Red Moon is covered in a full liquid surface, with only scattered islands and reefs protruding from the 'sea', which occupies less than three percent of the planet's surface area," Nolan's voice came from all around, with a hint of confusion, "and the scene elsewhere is similar to here, the sea is 'static' and shows no signs of movement." ”"After all, it's something summoned by Vivien, and it's normal to have these weirdness," Hao Ren nodded, checking the signals sent back by the various sensors, "Release the contact detector to see if this layer of sea is a phantom." ”Although various radars had previously transmitted signals that there was an entity on the surface of the red moon, in the face of such a supernatural thing that did not operate according to common sense, a single detection method was far from enough, and Hao Ren decided to increase the depth of detection step by step.A crack opened in the ejection bay beneath the Giant Turtle Rock, and a silvery-white cylinder was released from the ship, circling twice on the surface of the still Sea of Red Moon, before plunging headlong into the bloody water.The probe made silent contact with the Sea of the Red Moon, and disappeared from Hao Ren's field of vision in an instant, and there were no waves on the surface of the sea—the contact between the two was as if two shadows were passing through each other, without causing the slightest interference with each other.Hao Ren's brows furrowed slightly: "Sure enough, it's a phantom?"
”"No......
The probe came back with a signal, it wasn't a phantom, it had passed through a layer of real water, and was now moving through the water," Nolan replied immediately, "......
The presence of water pressure, water temperature, and resistance is detected, and the composition of the water body is similar to the source blood, and the concentration is higher the further down.This sea is real. ”Hao Ren was a little surprised: "Does it really exist?"
But when the probe entered the water just now, it was as if it had passed through a layer of shadows, and it didn't even splash the waves. ”Nolan's voice sounded a little puzzled: "I can't explain it, the sea of the red moon is absolutely static, the whole is like a frozen image, the detector can't affect the shape of the latter at all in the process of contacting this sea surface, but at the same time, the detector can also detect the existence of a liquid environment......
More probes are being released on the ship, and more data will be aggregated later. ”The Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace began to release more detectors into the waters of the Red Moon, which shimmered like powder from the luminescent moths and silently sank into the sea—just like their predecessors, these detectors did not cause the slightest ripple or splash in the water."
What do you think this looks like?"
Hao Ren tapped his finger lightly on the console panel in front of him, and the object of his inquiry was the data terminal floating around beside him."
Red Moon?
Or this sea?
”"Red Moon.""
Native thinks of the Founding Star - Native Guess Partner, you think of the same thing.""
That's right, Founding Star," Hao Ren nodded, "I've associated these two things more than once before, and even more so now.The red liquid surface covers more than 97 percent of the ocean, and a composition similar to that of blood has been detected......
There are not many planets with such remarkable characteristics.I had always thought that the surface of the Red Moon was solid, or simply some kind of phantom, but now it seems that its surface is a layer of sea, even though it is static. ”"But the size seems to be a bit big," Nolan's voice rang out, and her hologram also appeared beside Hao Ren, "According to the information provided by Muru, the Founding Star is a planet larger than Earth, and the Red Moon ......
It is clearly a dwarf planet. ”"Of course, the Red Moon will not be the true Founding Star, at least neither Muru nor Lemendusa said that the ocean on the Founding Star is stationary," Hao Ren shrugged, "I am inclined that this 'dwarf planet' is some kind of projection of the Founding Star.Perhaps Vivien had the 'hometown' in her mind — which is very likely considering she was born from the blood of the Goddess of Creation — and that the essence of her summoning the Red Moon was actually a projection of this subconscious homeland. ”At this time, Nolan suddenly interrupted him: "Hao Ren, my probe has found something. ”Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"
”"On the far side of the planet, traces of 'human' labor have been found on a small island jutting out of the sea.""?
Hurry up and check it out!
”The Giant Tortoise Rock immediately turned to accelerate, dragging a blue light and disappearing into space, and in the next instant it reached the target where the probe sent back the signal.On the screen sent back, Hao Ren really saw a small island.Ninety-seven percent of the Red Moon is covered by the ocean, but less than three percent of the remaining area still has land jutting out of the water, mostly scattered reefs or miniature islands, which are even smaller in size with the fact that the dwarf planet is most likely a "miniaturized" version of the founding star.The miniature island in front of me is already a relatively large one, its width is about two or three hundred meters, and the protruding water surface is dozens of meters high, and there is a circular pit in the center of the island that is obviously too regular, and there seem to be many neatly shaped artificial traces around the pit.And Hao Ren also noticed a detail: in a considerable area around this island, the sea surface was incredibly calm, and the water surface was as smooth and smooth as a mirror, and not even a ripple could be seen.It seems that no matter how huge the wind and waves set off by the Sea of the Red Moon, this island here does not have to worry about being swallowed by the waves."
There are obvious traces of artificial transformation," looking at the neat circular pit on the island and the carefully arranged stone structure around the pit, Hao Ren thought that Nolan's judgment was correct, but why was there such a trace on this red moon?
With this in mind, he stood up and straightened his clothes, "I'm going to go down and see for myself." ”"This is dangerous," Nolan reminded in a loud voice, "This is only the first summoning experiment, and it is not yet certain how long the stable state of the red moon can last, we should test the duration limit of the summoning ritual before ......"
"I can't sleep with such an eye-catching thing, and I finally tested it once, I don't plan to look at the sky twice and leave," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Besides, I believe Vivien." ”"You're the captain, you have the final say," Nolan saw that Hao Ren had already made up his mind, and the current Red Moon was indeed in a fairly stable state, so he didn't insist any longer, "This ship will continue to monitor the activities of the Red Moon, and once it finds that the energy response is increased, it will forcibly teleport you back - this is a necessary security measure." ”"Of course, that's fine," Hao Ren nodded, "You let the probes that have already entered the sea continue to expand the scanning range, and I hope they will come back with some results when I go down to check the situation." ”"Understood."
A moment later, Hao Ren and the data terminal had already arrived on the surface of the island - it was said that he was down-to-earth, but Hao Ren felt that he was completely floating, and although he had actually touched the surface of the planet, the red moon itself still did not have the slightest gravitational pull on him.The diameter of the pit was about forty meters, and the deepest part was about ten meters, and the material of the island itself was hard black rock, but the pit was covered with a layer of white fine sand, and around the pit, Hao Ren also saw a series of small pits, some of which were open, some of which were covered with stone slabs or other things, and the large and small pits formed a complex artificial nest.The data terminal flew around next to Hao Ren's head: "Partner, what do you say this place is for?"
”"God knows......
But if the Red Moon is really a projection of the Founding Star, then the man-made traces here are likely to be the work of the Goddess of Creation.I just don't know what she's doing digging so many holes on her planet. ”"Every Creator loves to dig holes.""
What?
Is that so?
”"Eh, why are you still taking it seriously?"
The two "people" were chatting and looking around, and suddenly, a stone slab protruding from the ground not far away attracted Hao Ren's attention.The slab stood next to a small pit with shiny lines."
What is this?"
The data terminal flew to the side of the stone slab and shone the shiny lines with a scanning beam, "It looks a bit like text, but the structure is so weird that it can't be translated by the method of information extraction?"
”Hao Ren looked at those symbols thoughtfully, and he felt that these symbols were a little similar to the "divine script" he saw in the goddess's palace in Colpers in terms of "painting style", but they looked more ......
Immature, or confusing, it seems that the writer himself cannot accurately grasp the meaning of these words, but only paints with feelings.Hearing the data terminal say that conventional parsing could not decipher the secrets of these symbols, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and put his hand on the gleaming stone slab.The lines on the slate seemed to come to life in an instant, twisting and moving around before his eyes, and then these moving lines were spelled out into neat words: "Where Lockmarton sleeps." ”Hao Ren blinked, a little stunned."
Partner, your talent is online again?"
The data terminal immediately noticed Hao Ren's strange appearance and leaned over to ask.Hao Ren instantly came back to his senses and immediately ordered: "There should be other symbols here!"
If that's right, each 'pothole' should have a marker!
Hurry up and find out!
”"Tsk, good performance is hard work...... the data terminal muttered, and began to look around the lair for a shimmer pattern similar to that on the slate.Sure enough, more words were soon discovered, and they were parsed by Hao Ren."
Where Lokmarton plays.""
Where to eat at Lokmarton.""
The stone that Lokmadon picked up from the bottom of the sea.""
Rockmarton ......"
This is enough evidence to prove the connection between the Founding Star and the Red Moon, but he didn't expect it to be presented in front of Hao Ren in such an unexpected way.
