Vol 4 Chapter 12: Under the ice

Chapter 12 Under the Ice
Zhang Shaoyuan and his six team members are advancing along the inclined tunnel.
The billowing steam has already re-condensed under the icy temperature of this planet. Even if deceleration measures are taken, their descent speed is still quite fast. The entrance behind them has become a small circular light hole. They seem to have become Frog at the bottom of the well.
But in fact, this process is like taking a slide.
This reminded Zhang Shaoyuan of the 300-meter ice slide he once sat in the Ice World of Ice City.
At that time he also had a wife and children.
Under the holographic mask, Zhang Shaoyuan's mouth had some inexplicable curvature.
Because he remembered his wife's gentle smile that day and how excited the child was.
The thickness of this ice layer is 130 meters at the moment, and the slightly inclined direction of excavation makes the length of this tunnel nearly 200 meters, but it is not comparable to the ice slide in the ice world.
Is just too dark.
If a pure human enters here, this gliding process will be an extremely dark journey of terror as if people suddenly fell in their sleep, but Zhang Shaoyuan ’s team is equipped with the most advanced personal night of the Xinjing Fleet. Depending on the equipment, plus their own lighting device, for them, the brightness of this glide is sufficient, but the depth is not at the end, as if sliding to the giant mouth of some unpredictable terrorist creature.
And when many people had the same idea in life, they came to an end.
Was suddenly empty under him, and the feeling of sinking quickly came.
Under the ice layer is a large hole, and the ice layer will naturally fall down.
Zhang Shaoyuan and others have already prepared for the first time to activate the propeller of their space suit and slowly stabilize their body in mid-air.
And only then did they notice that the ground is not dark, there is some strange crystal on the frozen upper layer of "ice cover", and there is only one at a long distance, with a blue light.
The blue light is actually very weak, and the number of blue crystals is not much. It can only shine on a small area. Looking down from here, it is still dark. At such a distance, the lighting equipment on them also shines Don't wear it.
Height is at least two hundred meters.
Zhang Shaoyuan made a simple judgment, but they did not drop the height for the first time: "Xie Wenbo and Chen Jia, you go to collect a sample of the blue crystal, pay attention to protection, the crystal is likely to have radiation. Others and I are distracting, Turn on the bio-radar and thermal radar, be careful of anything. "
The temperature under the ice is even lower. At this moment, the surface temperature of the planet is about minus 31 degrees, but the temperature here is more than minus 40 degrees.
Further down, the temperature seems to become lower.
Zhang Shaoyuan thought that the volume of this frozen planet is several times larger than that of the earth.
At this time, he noticed that the signal was slightly worse, whether it was their internal communication or the signal from the outside.
Two soldiers flew to the nearest blue crystal under the order of Zhang Shaoyuan.
Before they come down, they are fully prepared to bring all kinds of things they can bring, including small material collection and containment devices.
As the only blue crystal that is currently suspected of being a "rock" of the planet, it is of course necessary to sample it.
And the picture here was the first time it was returned to the frigate where Xu Youyang was located. As the ice layer was digged here and deepened, Xu Youyang also deployed some resources and manpower to watch the situation here.
Xu Youyang knocked on the captain's armrest of his captain and looked at the slightly noisy strobe, saying: "Team Zhang, there seems to be a strong magnetic field underground, which caused interference to our communication. If there is a situation, withdraw it immediately."
"Roger that."
Zhang Shaoyuan responded immediately.
And by this time, the two soldiers had already started collecting blue crystals.
The blue crystal is not big, it is only about the size of two adult male fists. The whole body is crystal clear blue, like the crystal of the original mine, but there are no impurities, and it seems to grow in the ice. , Half of them are connected to the ice.
"Is this some kind of fluorspar?" On the frigate bridge, a related expert asked questions.
Now the radiation indicators on the two soldiers have not issued an early warning, which means that the radiation of this blue crystal has not reached the level that can cause harm to the human body.
Xie Wenbo and Chen Jia looked at each other. After a brief exchange, according to the instructions of the frigate expert group, they were ready to chisel this blue crystal and a small part of ice around it.
This process took a lot of time.
Fortunately, the thickness of the ice is up to 100 meters, and I do n’t know how many years have been there. It is strong enough. Cutting only needs to worry about not damaging the sampling target.
Sampling was completed, Xie Wenbo opened the metal backpack behind him, and put the sample that had been sealed in the containment box into it.
Zhang Shaoyuan made a gesture to them from far away, beckoning them to keep up, and he began to fall.
The six-person exploration team began to descend slowly.
The cave under the ice is quite endless, and looking to the left and right is a darkness that never ends.
"The scale here seems comparable to the cave under our Arctic glaciers."
Followed Chen Jia who couldn't help but say something.
In this team, he is the youngest, only twenty-one years old, and coming to a strange planet is so novel that it is always more vigorous than others, and more words.
But unfortunately, no one responded this time.
The underground caves were very empty. They fell vertically. Because of caution, this process still took nearly a minute and a half. The height of the cave where they were currently located was 237.65 meters. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
In the process of descent, the interference of their signals is becoming more and more serious. When it is about 70 meters away from the "ground", the communication with the frigate is almost interrupted.
They stayed in this position for a moment, and after getting in touch with the warship again, after discussion, Zhang Shaoyuan team decided to continue to descend until the ground.
At this time, both their internal communication and the communication with the frigate have been interrupted.
Zhang Shaoyuan ordered the team to turn on the vocal device of the combat uniform, ready to communicate directly, and at the same time re-check whether his camera was working well to ensure that the recorded ground data was available for the fleet to study after returning.
But at this moment, Chen Jia at the end suddenly saw a shadow without flashing: "There is a situation!"
Everyone immediately entered a state of alert, lighting equipment glanced around.
"The infrared thermal radar did not detect the target."
"Biodetection radar did not find any target."
"The motion detection radar detected that an unknown thing is moving around us!"
