"What's going on?"
Chen Feng approached and asked expectantly.
Fredes first took off his transparent protective helmet, shook off the lava ash inside, and then coughed violently, "Ahem, brother, wait... wait a minute, I'll take a break first, I can't breathe."
"Yeah, yeah."
Chen Feng nodded repeatedly, looking at Xiaofu's appearance, he felt a little sad for some reason.
In stark contrast to Chen Feng, who looked like a well-maintained handsome man in his thirties, Xiaofu looked much older, at least ten years older than Chen Feng.
He has sparse hair on his head, typical Mediterranean style, deep eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and dark circles under his eyes that are as timeless as top-notch tattoos. He looks like a 21st century Fubao programmer, and with the metal protective suit he wears, he looks even more like a geek.
Chen Feng sometimes feels that he is too tired and wants him to take a break.
However, although this little brother respects Chen Feng very much and listens to Chen Feng in everything, when it comes to work, no matter what Chen Feng says, it doesn't work, and he is very stubborn. It's useless for
Chen Feng to tie him up, after all, he has a sharp brain and a super good memory. When there is equipment, he does work that requires equipment, and when there is no equipment, he lies there to meditate, and his inspiration is still strong.
Chen Feng had no choice but to let him do what he wanted and watched him exploit himself day by day. Fortunately,
the medical conditions on the Morning Breeze II have almost reached the top level, and the food configuration is also designed by Freds himself, with balanced nutrition and full portions.
Xiaofu is not stupid enough to kill himself a few times. He pays great attention to self-protection and observes his body parameters at all times. Although he is overworked, he can always control the risk factor within an appropriate range.
Xiaofu called it an extreme state and vowed that he would definitely not die before Chen Feng, otherwise it would be a slip of the tongue if he did not work for him until the end.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Xiaofu's breathing gradually calmed down. "Brother, you know the creature in the No. 679 simulation grid, right?"
Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, we found the lava creature on the magma planet in the HTX9987 galaxy last month. What's wrong? I remember that this is not intelligent life, right?"
The HTX9987 galaxy is only one star gate away from the location where the two are now.
This special phenomenon in the medium-sized star system with a mass of about 30 times that of the sun is a large planet very close to the star.
The mass of the planet is 107 times that of the earth, and the main components are silicon, nickel, selenium, carbon, oxygen, etc.
The temperature on the planet surface is as high as 3,000 degrees Celsius, and it is completely covered by rolling magma.
The atmosphere on the planet surface is mainly composed of carbon, oxygen, and various gasified metal compounds. It looks very transparent, but the density of the gas is comparable to that of water.
In the cognition of earthlings, it is impossible for life to exist in such an environment.
But in such a harsh environment, a liquid life form that can withstand a high temperature of 3,000 degrees was born, which is regarded as a wonder of the universe.
Xiaofu: "I have modified our course. We are going straight ahead at the current speed. As long as the star gate is not destroyed, we can return to the HTX9987 galaxy in about seven days."
"What's wrong? Did we miss something?"
"Yes. The genetic information of lava creatures has the ability to record images, and even images from millions of years ago can exist in it. I first analyzed their genes, and then just now I forced them to undergo atavism through forced stimulation, and then took the opportunity to read the genetic information compiled when they atavism..."
Xiaofu said a lot, and Master Chen said that he, who was extremely knowledgeable, had returned to the state of illiteracy again, but he still barely understood what Xiaofu meant.
In short, Xiaofu used his talent as a Glas person who could directly connect to the medium layer to read a picture from the body of the lava life.
Millions of years ago, a large boomerang-shaped ship flew into the lava planet of the star HTX9987 in a very stable manner.
It did not fall in, nor did it crash into it, but slowly approached, and then sank in little by little.
Lava life has no eyes at all, but uses the surface of the body to sense the subtle changes in the external radiation background to capture the picture.
At that time, many lava lives "saw" this wonderful scene and passed it on to each other.
This picture became the consensus of the lava life and was engraved into its genes. It has been passed down to the present, and was then decompiled by Xiaofu.
Chen Feng pondered for a moment, "You mean, that is a large ship of the Mi tribe?"
"Yes. It must have chosen to hide in the lava planet because it had no way to escape. I think it is still inside."
Chen Feng thought for a while, "But it doesn't make much sense. A million years have passed, it must have been burned to ashes."
"No, definitely not. The surface temperature of the lava planet is less than 3,000 degrees Celsius. The shell material of our Morning Breeze II can withstand temperatures of 10,000 degrees, and it will take at least tens of millions of years to completely melt. Even if the technological level of the Mi people is slightly lower than ours, the gap will not be too big."
Chen Feng thought for a while, "Okay, even if we come up empty-handed, it's just a waste of time. I've waited for a hundred years, so I don't care about just a few days. The Compound Eyes built the prismatic battleship by absorbing the technology of the Mi people. Maybe the large ships of the Mi people can give us some inspiration."
Xiaofu: "Yes. Brother, you are so smart!"
Chen Feng: "..."
Chen Feng nodded silently, "That's a must. After all, I am your brother."
Seven days later, Morning Breeze II docked in the atmosphere of the huge lava planet.
Xiaofu turned on the high-temperature scanner that he had specially assembled in the past seven days. The model
quickly took shape by integrating the feedback data from more than 30 scanning methods, from energy to matter, from space to subspace, from radio signals to neutrino signals, and then to quantum signals.
"It's here."
Xiaofu pointed to a curved long black shadow on the translucent model.
The shadow is located about 500 kilometers below the surface of the lava planet, with its wings spread out about 10 kilometers.
Chen Feng looked at the density of the shadow material and the nearby material, which was basically the same.
We can conclude that the ship has completely lost power and is just floating there.
Xiaofu stood up after saying this.
Chen Feng: "What are you doing?"
"The radiation interference of the lava planet is too strong. The quantum network cannot be accurately laid underground. There is no way to use smart equipment. I have to wear armor and tie the rope, and then use Morning Breeze II to pull it out."
Chen Feng held him down, "You can go to bed. The person in front of you is the strongest armor operator in the human race. It's not your turn."
"No, I can't let you take risks."
Chen Feng shrugged, "I'm too lazy to argue with you about other things, but this one, I have the final say. Drilling holes, I'm an old hand."
An hour later, Chen Feng wore a specially modified Galaxy Armor with specially enhanced power and stability and floated out of Morning Breeze II.
In front of him...
of course, he couldn't see anything.
The lava planet is very close to the star, and the brightness of the starlight is terrifying. Even the kryptonian dog eyes with the endurance aura at full will be blinded.
A full eight layers of mosaic structure are installed on the outside of the basic galaxy armor to resist strong light, radiation and high temperature.
Chen Feng can only locate the direction through projection modeling.
At this time, the armor engine has already been fully powered, and multiple layers of composite shields are on the outside.
Gurgle, gurgle, the huge modified armor with multiple shields dived into the surface of the magma and went down all the way.
Chen Feng has rich experience in drilling, and he is very familiar with driving.
He quickly found the boomerang ship, tied the rope, and floated up decisively.
After about half a day, two ships, one new and one old, one large and one small, were floating in space.
The shipbuilding technology of the Mi tribe was indeed good. After being soaked in magma for millions of years, not a drop of water seeped in.
Next, Xiaofu spent a full half month to dismantle, analyze and study this ancient warship.
Chen Feng continued to study and occasionally looked at Xiaofu's analysis report.
At first, he was a little disappointed.
Although he already knew that the technological level of the Mi tribe was not as good as that of today's humans, he also hoped that the former overlord of the galaxy could give a little help and bring some surprises.
As a result, the boomerang ship was inferior to the current equipment of human beings in almost all theoretical performance parameters. There was no place for me to fight, which almost extinguished Chen Feng's expectations for the mother planet of the Mi tribe.
As for the corpses of the Mi tribe members...
there were none.
I don't know whether there was no one in the ship, or the organic matter in the bodies of the Mi tribe decayed and evaporated after millions of years.
Until one day, Fredes came to Chen Feng with a small piece of "tin foil" as thin as a cicada's wing, "I found this coating a bit strange."
Chen Feng took the "tin foil" and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The thickness of this thing is basically the same as our single-atom edible gold foil."
Chen Feng nodded, "Yeah."
"Brother, try to see if you can tear it apart, be careful not to cut your hands."
Chen Feng tried, then frowned, "Hmm?"
"This is the coating on the surface of the boomerang ship. I just tested it. This layer of paper can withstand a tensile force of one million tons. I also tried to cut it with a quark cutter, but it couldn't be cut."
Chen Feng's eyes lit up. "So you suspect this is the secret treasure of the Mi people? The hull of the Compound Eye is made of the same material as this metal film?"
Fredes shook his head. "No, the strength of the hull is even higher than this." On the film. But I think the two may be related, and this may be just the original version. It may be that after the compound eyes obtained this technology of the Mi tribe, they integrated it with their own biological science, and finally formed a technological explosion, triggered a qualitative change, and finally obtained the complete prism shell material. " Chen
Feng pondered for a moment, "It's possible."
Xiaofu took out a metal sphere about the size of a fingernail from his pocket.
"I just analyzed the material of the metal sphere and this metal foil, and they are the same."
Chen Feng took the sphere.
He knew what it was.
When the boomerang ship was first dismantled, he followed in, mainly to act as a bodyguard to prevent Xiaofu from encountering accidents.
The appearance of the member chairs in the ship is basically the same as the chairs in the Mi tribe spaceship that Chen Feng saw in Area 52, proving that this is indeed a Mi tribe ship.
Chen Feng deduced the general size of the Mi tribe based on the chairs they found.
However, the two did not find a single living person in the boat, nor did they find any human-like skeletal mechanical structures that matched Chen Feng's reasoning. They only found hundreds of these small metal balls of unknown meaning on the ground.
At that time, Chen Feng had no idea what these things were. As a "low IQ" player, he was too lazy to waste his brain on them with Xiaofu around.
"This is the corpse of the Mi tribe."
Xiaofu kept saying something shocking.
Chen Feng: "Ah?"
"To be precise, this is most likely the heart and brain of the Mi people. Brother, you guessed wrong before. The body of the Mi people should be mostly composed of organic matter, but it is this sphere that determines the racial characteristics of the Mi people."
Chen Feng was shocked, "So you mean that the protective coating on the outside of the Mi people's warships is made by the Mi people using their own hearts and brains?" "
This is my inference, but it is very likely that ordinary Mi people's ships are not qualified to use it, but this boomerang ship has many weapons and is the main battleship of the Mi people."
Chen Feng thought for a while, "But the entire outer shell of the Compound Eye's Prism Ship is made of this material, and it is tougher."
"That is, the compound eyes used biotechnology to solve the technical difficulties of mass-producing the heart material of the Mi people, and further improved its properties."
Chen Feng slowly understood and nodded, "Yes, yes."
Xiaofu pointed at the ball and said, "I want to crack it and understand the thinking mode of the Mi people, but I can't find a way for the time being."
