Chapter 336 Tower
Time passed by bit by bit.
The dense clouds in the sky began to dissipate gradually, and the scene outside the porthole gradually became clear.
The first thing that came into view was a series of slender metal structures. These metal structures that looked like spikes pierced straight into the clouds, and the highest point even touched the edge of the atmosphere!
As the height of the transport ship dropped rapidly, these metal structures gradually revealed their true faces.
These are clearly huge conical towers made of high-strength metal. The metal spikes in the clouds are just the spires of these towers!
In the gaps between the towers, the thick metal columns extending from outside the planet's atmosphere are inserted straight into the ground of the planet-these are the giant structures that Chen Fan saw in the starry sky, which are built around the planet and look like antennas!
These thick metal columns are like the pillars of heaven that support the heaven and earth in myths and legends, standing straight above the ground of this planet!
This is a planet covered with steel!
The super lightning that was powerful enough to penetrate the entire sky was wrapped in a majestic energy and fiercely struck these pillars, but was completely blocked by a layer of almost transparent light barrier around them.
The powerful energy in the lightning could not even produce a ripple or wave on this thin barrier!
Chen Fan slightly widened his eyes and stared at the scene outside the porthole that looked like the end of the world. The dense clouds blocked a lot of sunlight, so the near-surface area of the planet seemed a bit dim, and the turbid air was light brown and black, looking like seriously polluted industrial waste gas.
[You thought it was right.]
An electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [This machine simply analyzed the air composition of this planet and found that its heavy metal and radiation content was seriously exceeded.]
[For most creatures, this planet is not a suitable place to live.]
Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little surprised by Yi's words.
'The environment is so bad? '
He couldn't help but sigh in the mental network: 'This Ramsey Empire doesn't seem to care much about the environment on the planet! '
'That's normal. ' Gao Yuan's voice came from the mental network, 'If the Ramsey Empire is really an artificial intelligence, then it doesn't need to care about ecological issues at all. '
Chen Fan nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Gao Yuan.
Damn it!
The sun is rising from the west! !
Gao Yuan, who has a single-threaded brain, can actually give an analysis result in a proper manner! ! !
No matter who you are, now, get off Gao Yuan immediately!
'Chen Fan, look at those towers. '
Isa's voice sounded, pulling Chen Fan's attention back to the porthole.
At this moment, the transport ship has descended to a height of 10,000 meters above the surface, and the appearance of those giant towers is also clearly presented in front of Chen Fan and the other two.
Like a pile of truncated cones with decreasing diameters, these conical towers have an extremely obvious layered structure - the bottom floor has the largest space, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers in radius, and the higher you go, the smaller the space becomes.
Narrow windows are distributed in a ring on the towers, and lights of different colors shine from these windows, adding a touch of cyberpunk-style gorgeous light to the dim world.
Feeling the distance between the transport ship and one of the towers shrinking, Chen Fan already had some guesses in his mind, and he raised his eyebrows: "It seems that these towers are the destination of our trip."
"It's just..."
Chen Fan straightened his back and looked at the ground of the planet at the edge of the tower with anxiety.
Under the extremely dim skylight, some uneven objects were piled up in a disorderly manner on the ground at the edge of the tower.
These blurred black shadows spread around the tower and even covered all the ground around the tower.
He whispered softly in the mental network: "Why does the surface of this planet look a little strange? '
Hearing this, Isa turned around and aimed her mechanical eye, which was shining with azure light, at the ground in the distance.
The transport ship was getting lower and lower. Although the sky was getting dimmer, the blue and red light coming from the tower was getting brighter.
With these weak lights, Isa was the first to use her high-precision mechanical eye to see the scene on the ground in the distance.
In just a moment, the calm expression on Isa's face changed drastically.
She shook her body, and her face, which was originally slightly rosy, turned pale.
"Don't..."
Shocked, Isa subconsciously opened her trembling lips and uttered a hoarse and dry voice: "Don't look..."
But...
it was too late.
After the mechanical eye, Chen Fan relied on the auxiliary visual device of the mechanical exoskeleton to see the scene around the tower.
Corpses!
The uneven black shadows seen before were the corpses of endless intelligent creatures!
The swollen, rotten corpses were piled up on the flat ground like a pile of Buddhas. On the surface of these corpses, strands of sewage with strange colors, which could be seen at a glance as containing half of the periodic table, were slowly flowing.
The source of the sewage was the giant conical tower in front of them!
Not far away, a starship with flashing signal lights and basically the same style as the frigate drove out from the bottom of another tower, and finally stopped just above the open space on the edge of the tower under Chen Fan's gaze.
The next second.
Wow! !
The hatch at the bottom of the starship suddenly opened, and corpses of various shapes mixed with various filth poured down from the open hatch of the starship. After turning several strange and beautiful angles in the air, they all sank into the pile of corpses below!
Some highly corrupted pieces of meat mixed with liquid and gas splashed high under this powerful impact.
Like Isa, Chen Fan's pupils dilated sharply when he saw this scene, and his face suddenly changed: "This..."
He endured the violent churning of his stomach and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Fuck... beast!"
This is not a steel planet, it is clearly a huge garbage dump and corpse dumping ground!
No wonder the atmospheric pollution of this planet is so serious - so much filth is excreted outside the tower at will, it's impossible for this environment to be normal!
Not to mention the excessive heavy metals and radiation, this place can even screen out a lot of real super bacteria!
Chen Fan's face was ashen and he retracted his cold gaze.
At the same time, the inclination angle of the transport ship began to increase, diving towards the dark gray tower in front.
As the transport ship and the conventional frigate approached, the gate at the bottom of the tower, which looked like a port, opened with a bang, revealing the dark space inside!
Swish...
The huge transport ship accurately drilled into the port gate, and the scene outside the porthole suddenly turned black.
After a short wait, a series of blue and red lights lit up in the passage one by one, guiding the transport ship in the direction of advance.
More than ten seconds later.
The transport ship returned to stability, and a very slight tremor came from the deck under its feet.
The transport ship successfully landed inside the tower.
...
The cockpit of the mine-laying transport ship.
Yaqi sat in the main driving seat expressionlessly, staring at the sophisticated and complex starship control console in front of her and the huge screen above that constantly refreshed various data information.
From the moment she arrived at the entrance of Olivier, the transport ship was no longer under her control. At this moment, all the actions of the transport ship were "spontaneous".
"Captain Yaqi..."
Next to Yaqi, Naji looked at the dark and deep space outside the porthole and the rapidly moving blue and red indicator lights with fear.
He kept turning his head to look at Yaqi in the main driving seat, his eyes filled with confusion and uneasiness.
Finally, he couldn't hold back his confusion and asked Yaqi carefully: "Sir, Olivier... When can we reach Olivier?"
Under Naji's gaze, Yaqi turned his head stiffly, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and a strange smile slowly emerged on his rigid face: "We..."
"Haven't we arrived at Olivier?"
Naji's soft lavender feathers instantly stood up, and the deformed tumor on the surface of his light gray skin was completely exposed: "You, what did you say?!"
"This, this is Olivier?"
Naji looked at the deep darkness outside the porthole with horror.
Although Yaqi did not make any operation, the speed of the transport ship began to gradually decrease.
The deep, downward-sloping passage finally came to an end.
The space suddenly opened up.
A huge, flat round platform appeared at the end of the passage.
Under Naji's unbelievable eyes, the transport ship adjusted its inclination and posture by itself, and finally landed very smoothly in the corner area of the huge round platform.
The truncated platform should be made of strong interaction material, otherwise it would not be able to bear the incredible weight of the transport ship - this thought suddenly flashed through Naji's mind.
Blue and red light flickered continuously in this dark space, and finally a huge metal structure was set off in the darkness.
It was a thick cable with uniform thickness and a diameter of more than a kilometer!
The cable extended from a high place and stood straight in the center of this space.
A spiral metal structure that looked like a conveyor track was constantly running around this thick cable. The spiral metal
ring was connected to a capsule-shaped cabin of the same size. Through the translucent shell above it, it was not difficult to see the internal structure of these capsule cabins.
On the surface of the giant cable column, a series of fine branch cables extended out, like tentacles with fangs and claws, surrounding the upper and lower sides of the metal ring.
Judging from the shape of the ends of these branch cables and the interfaces reserved on the surface of the capsule cabin, it is not difficult to judge that these branch cables that look like tentacles will eventually be closely linked with these capsule cabins.
Driven by the spiral of the metal ring structure, these capsule-shaped cabins of the same size are continuously landing on the huge round platform from the top of the tower.
Naji looked at the scene full of mechanical beauty in front of him with trembling eyes.
"This is Olivier."
Yaqi's affirmative words came from the side.
