After Ye Su heard what the astronaut said, he began to manipulate the drilling equipment to let the drill slowly come out of the hole.
Soon the drill returned to the ground, and Ye Su also saw a bottomless hole in front of them.
This big hole leads directly to the location of Alpha Crystal, and it is also the final destination of their operation.
Now Ye Su and the others have penetrated hundreds of meters of ice, and Alpha Crystals have been exposed to them.
What they have to do now is to pass through the hole above the ice layer, descend to the position of the Alpha Crystal, and then fix the Alpha Crystal to the rope, and then they can set off back.
Seeing the hope that the mission was about to be completed, all astronauts became excited.
No one wants to stay in a ghost place like Neptune. It's a good thing to be able to go back sooner.
What's more, they can complete this difficult task just now, and victory is already before their eyes.
After seeing that the drilling work was over, Ye Su directly threw it into the controller in his hand, and no longer continued to manage the drilling control equipment.
Ye Su was not interested in carrying such a heavy device back to the landing module, so Ye Su was going to directly discard the device on Neptune this time.
It would not cost Ye Su much to make this kind of equipment, and even if Ye Su was directly lost, he would not feel distressed.
Anyway, this device has fulfilled all its missions, and it's time to die.
After discarding the drilling equipment, Ye Su began to tie a rope to himself, preparing to approach the Alpha Crystal by cable drop.
"Prepare to surrender right away and come down with me alone."
"The remaining two people are waiting up there, ready to support us at any time."
Due to the limited size of the hole above the ice, it can only accommodate two people going down at the same time.
In addition, someone had to watch it, so Ye Su arranged for two astronauts to stay on it, as long as one astronaut went down with him.
"Let's go down with Mr. Ye. My physical strength is a little better, so I'm more suitable for this kind of work."
A young astronaut took the initiative to stand up at this time, preparing to descend with Ye Su.
It seems that this young astronaut is still very courageous, at least he did not shrink back in front of the dark hole.
This large hole, which reaches a few hundred meters deep under the ice layer, is scary enough to look at. You can't see the bottom at a glance.
Most people really don't dare to come here, especially in the environment of Neptune, the danger is too great.
If you are not careful, you may stay in this hole forever.
At that time, the corpse capital will not be able to return to the earth, and can only stay on the icy planet Neptune, which is sealed by a thick layer of ice.
This kind of end is terrible even after thinking about it. At this time, he is already very good to stand up.
Since this young man asked to go with Ye Su, Ye Su readily agreed to his request.
"Okay, you can come down with me."
"The remaining two people stay on the ground and pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and notify us immediately if there is an accident."
Ye Su explained it as quickly as possible, and then began to prepare for the surrender.
Two minutes later, Ye Su and the astronaut firmly fixed a rope on their bodies.
"One, two, three, go!"
When he was ready, Ye Su counted down to three, and then jumped into the dark hole.
Ye Su was in the ice, trying to control the speed of his fall with the cable descender.
There was a violent rubbing between the rope descender and the rope, and the resistance generated by the rubbing started to offset Ye Su’s own gravity, making Ye Su’s falling speed smooth.
Ye Su just dropped towards the bottom little by little, slowly approaching the position of Alpha Crystal.
The young astronaut at the back also followed Ye Susuo down.
The figures of the two slowly disappeared at the entrance of the cave, immersed in the deep darkness.
Because of the deep depth below the ice layer and the lack of sunlight in Shanghai Wangxing, the cave looks abnormally dark, almost to the point where you can't see your fingers.
If Ye Su and others hadn't been for the lighting equipment on the spacesuit, they wouldn't know where they had landed now.
With the help of the lighting equipment on the spacesuit, Ye Su could see the surrounding situation clearly.
There are few impurities in the ice layer on Neptune, and it looks very crystal clear.
There is a thick layer of ice all around, and now Ye Su and the others are in the middle position.
Now Ye Su can't see the top hole when he looks up, and he can't see the bottom when he looks down.
Being in a place like this is what makes people most afraid of.
The dark and small environment around will arouse the most fear in people's hearts.
This kind of environment is very depressing. People with poor psychological quality may go crazy after a while.
Fortunately, both Ye Su and the young astronaut are people with extremely high psychological qualities.
They ignored the environment they were in now, and concentrated on descending towards the bottom.
After another period of darkness, Ye Su finally saw the Alpha Crystal under his feet.
The volume of Alpha Crystal is not very large, only less than one meter in length.
Such a small piece weighs several tons, which shows that the density of this special material is very high.
When Ye Su saw the Alpha Crystal, he confirmed that this was what he had been looking for.
The whole piece of Alpha crystal showed a very special appearance under the light.
The Alpha Crystal looks like illusory, the whole crystal appears from time to time, and it feels very unreal.
This state between illusion and reality is the biggest feature of Alpha Crystal.
This special material itself has two states of illusion and reality, and these two contradictory states appear on this crystal at the same time.
It is this nature between illusion and reality that makes him the best engine material.
Only a small amount of Alpha Crystal is needed to make the engine generate tremendous power.
