Chapter 177 Underground Space
Under the Moon!
Nie Yun's avatar looked around for a week, and then froze.
It is different from the empty space he imagined or the alien base full of science fiction.
This is a huge and desolate underground world, but it is not completely natural, but there are a large number of man-made pillar structures!
Looking around, the height of this underground space is about tens of kilometers, and every few hundred kilometers, there is a black support column like a giant pillar standing there, like countless giant hands , Open up this piece of world!
Although the stalactite pillars in natural caves can also form a similar landscape, but only by looking at the color that is completely different from the surrounding soil and the uniformity of distribution, it can be judged that this must not be a natural formation, but an artificial support structure!
"What's going on here...?" Nie Yun was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.
Just imagine, if this is the case not only here, but also on the entire moon, how big is the project?
Will it take 5000 years for all human beings to complete the project?
Nie Yun carefully observed the surrounding environment. The ground was obviously leveled, and there were still some tiny traces of suspected large-scale construction machinery moving on it.
"Step!" Nie Yun stomped heavily, his body jumped up to a height of hundreds of meters like a flea, and then slowly flew towards the nearest black stone pillar several kilometers away.
It is close to the lunar core, and the gravitational force has been greatly weakened. It is only about one-tenth of the gravity of the moon's surface, and about one-sixtieth of that of the earth. The 200-kilogram Nie Yun avatar here is as light as a swallow.
A scene like flying through the sky appears in this underground world. At least if Nie Yun makes a movie, he doesn't have to hang on to Wia.
Cooperating with the powerful strength of this pair of bodies, Nie Yun achieved a high-speed movement of 11 kilometers per hour with only 240 roads, and he came to the target with just two or three jumps.
From a close view, the diameter of this black stone pillar is about 500 meters, like a majestic mountain!
Nie Yun took a closer look, only to find that the stone pillar is not all black, but has a fine black grid-like pattern covering the original gray stone pillar, and even extends to the inside of the stone pillar, which is somewhat similar to... a creeper?
"Sure enough, it's weird! This seems to be a reinforcement method?" Nie Yun guessed.
He tried to grab a handful of the black substance and tore it off, breaking it with almost all his strength. Considering the strength of this body, this kind of toughness is quite amazing!
Nie Yun then directly put his palm on the black substance, and then launched a devouring action. He closed his eyes to feel it, and Nie Yun opened his eyes in surprise.
This black substance contains a large amount of metal components, and its microstructure unexpectedly resembles... plant fibers? !
"Could it be that this is really a plant?" Nie Yun was stunned.
Nie Yun walked around the stone pillar, but found no other abnormalities.
It takes so much effort to build such an underground space, but there are no buildings here. Doesn't it seem like expanding the base or living space?
It's impossible for aliens to drive Lanxiang. This is their excavator training base?
"It seems a bit too open... Eh? Wait! Where does the light come from here?" Nie Yun finally discovered another abnormality.
The underground space is extremely empty, but there is no bright light source at all, but it is as bright as day. Nie Yun observed carefully and finally found that the light source turned out to be...the gray soil around!
He leaned over and grabbed a rock to examine it carefully, then frowned, and squeezed it hard with his hand, and the rock was directly crushed into powder by him.
Then he spread his palm and looked at the powdery substance on it. The pupils in his eyes shrank for a while, adjusted the focus, and turned into a pair of "microscopic eyes". Finally, he saw that there were tiny red crystal particles that could not be seen by the naked eye. emanating from them.
"What's this?" The curious Nie Yun simply threw another devouring* identification technique over.
The powder on the palm was quickly disintegrated, and then Nie Yun was shocked to find that the identification technique... failed!
In addition to the metal-rich soil, the red crystal-like substance was indeed also decomposed, but what surprised him was that the mechanical bugs didn't obtain the microscopic structure model of this red crystal!
The invincible "Swallow* Identification Technique" failed!This is something Nie Yun has never encountered before.
According to his induction, although this red crystal appeared to be completely decomposed by the mechanical bugs, the decomposition was not complete, and soon he found the reason for this situation.
We know that the scale of the mechanical bug itself is at the atomic nucleus level, and the scale of its decomposition is also the same, and the basic microstructure of this red crystal... is even smaller than the atomic nucleus!
"There are natural crystals with this structure?" Nie Yun was inexplicably surprised.
Even though the mechanical bugs couldn't completely decompose this kind of crystal, they were able to reconstruct it by kneading it like building blocks on a microcosmic scale.
Because the content of this red crystal was too scarce, Nie Yun then devoured some soil, and then a tiny red particle the size of a sesame seed slowly grew on the palm of his hand. Nie Yun carefully placed it on his index finger. Observe on the stomach.
The surface is very smooth, like a red crystal, and it emits a soft light all the time.
Looking at this tiny crystal, Nie Yun was suddenly taken aback. He somehow felt that he seemed to know this thing!
"This is... an energy crystal!" Nie Yun exclaimed.
When Nie Yun first obtained the mechanical bug, the mechanical bug once conveyed a piece of information about absorbable energy.
The energy sources that mechanical bugs can use include solar energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, nuclear energy, energy crystals (emphasis added), antimatter annihilation energy...
After nuclear energy, it is this energy crystal!
Absorbing energy is the instinct of mechanical bugs, so Nie Yun can also sense that the crystals in his hand... can be eaten!
"Absorb!" He had a thought.
"Hiss~" Nie Yun shuddered for a moment, as a huge amount of energy poured into this body, Nie Yun was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted to stop!
"Huh! It almost exploded, this is too exaggerated!" Nie Yun, who was gleaming with electric light all over his body, looked at the red crystal in his hand that seemed to have dimmed a bit, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
It's just a grain the size of a sesame seed, and the energy output just now is even more exaggerated than the instantaneous output power of the Sea Wolf's main energy core!
Nie Yun knew that he had found a treasure!
Needless to say, this kind of energy crystal that even mechanical bugs are listed as absorbable energy, but the earth people have never heard of it must be an ultra-high density energy storage medium!An extremely precious cosmic mineral!
"Wait, that is to say, there are such precious energy deposits inside the moon, so will it be..." Nie Yun looked at the countless black stone pillars.
Could it be that this place was originally...a mining area? !
