Chapter 41 - 41 Alien Bone
Chapter 41: Alien Bone
Huo Gu pondered for a while and failed to find any clues about this super-giant underground void in the information collected.
Eight hundred million years, the years of vicissitudes of life are enough to make any brilliant object decay.
At present, Huo Gu can find something of certain value, that is, the book that occupies 100 square kilometers, but the problem is that it does not have the ability to interpret the content of this huge array book, and can only sigh.
In the following period of time, the rhizome system has passed through twelve pairs of supporting columns and 32 sea columns formed by the bottom cracks and falling down, and finally completely covered the whole ground of the underground void.
"I'm finally done."
The command of the rhizome system has cost Huo Gu a lot of energy. You know, the area occupied by this underground void has reached the concept of 'billion'. In fact, every floor and every section of the rhizome system is quite expensive.
Huo Gu, who was liberated from mental work, moved his eyes upward.
"If it's the top..."
"...Forget it. The rhizome system also has its own weight. If it is coiled on the top layer, it may break the stress balance of the top layer, and the consequences are quite serious."
Once the top-level break is too huge, it may even cause a chain reaction. The whole top-level collapses. After all, it has been an antique for 800 million years.
That is to say, is the exploration of the underground void over?
It is not that Huo Gu turned down and back to continue to explore. Since the left and right sides, the top floor and the front are metal walls, the boundaries in other directions are likely to be metal walls. In other words, a considerable part of the underground hollow is actually buried by the rock layers.
This is most likely the result of damage to several parts of the cavity in the early days, resulting in lava infiltration.
At present, neither the builder of this place and this building belong to this planet.
In the early molten planet, although there was also an ocean, it was a lava sea, with an average temperature of more than 1,500 degrees Celsius and various extreme environments.
In addition, the early days of the planet are not only the early days of its individual, but also the early days of the planetary system. There are tens of millions of wandering meteorites floating in the planetary system, so there will be space traffic accidents where meteorites fall into the planet every three or five times.
From a straightforward point of view, it is the situation of detonating a Tsar nuclear bomb somewhere on the earth every few days. In addition, because lava is a fluid, shock waves can easily spread around the world. The difference lies only in the two concepts of strength and weakness.
If there is really a hell in the world, it will probably be like this.
Ten thousand steps back, even if there are really intelligent creatures living in the lava sea, and they are civilizations that have developed to a certain stage, they do not need to build this kind of building. According to the traces found in the current void, the building was originally empty, and the lava was later damaged before it existed in this building.
May I ask, is it necessary for a civilization born in the lava sea to build a building that is completely different from their living environment?
If it is for large-scale scientific experiments, but according to the scale and quality of the void, this speculation is completely unconvincing.
The rhizome system explored downwards according to the instructions. The strong volcanic rock was easily squeezed away by the rhizome like tofu, and soon found something.
However, Huo Gu was not happy about what was found. The discovery was a metal plate, the same as the first metal plate.
With a little disappointment, Huo Gu continued to order the rhizome to explore downwards, and he firmly believed that he would find something.
Huo Gu's belief is not without reason. Rock formations can often seal some things in good condition and last for a long time, such as those dinosaur fossils.
In such a huge space as this artificial void, it is absolutely impossible to live only one intelligent life. If the original fragmentation was a sudden accident, then there may be skeletons and fossils of those builders under the ground of the underground void.
After that, a period of time later, the rhizome system reached the empty boundary, but not the rhizome explored downwards, but the rhizomes explored backwards.
Because of the rock layer as support, Huo Gu did not need to worry about collapse. The rhizome spread crazily to cover the positive area behind, including the top layer of the rear, so he found several burrs on the metal wall behind.
Huo Gu's previous speculation of 'holes pouring into the lava' was confirmed by this, which also made it stronger and more carefully searched every corner of the underground rock formation.
Hard work pays off. Its efforts have not been in vain. The fossils that have been sleeping in the rock for 800 million years have been discovered by the unbridled rhizomes, and it is still a large area.
After injecting the connecting protein to stabilize the material structure of the fossil, Huo Gu concentrated on the operation of the rhizome to separate the rock layer above the skeleton and carefully lifted a skeleton sample up.
When the skeleton fossils were lifted out of the rock formation, Huo Gu was finally lucky enough to see the fossils of alien skeletons this time.
The color of this skeleton is different from that of human beings and the fossils of alien skeletons excavated by humans on Mars. The whole body is reddish brown. The main component of is iron oxide. Huo Gu inferred that these intelligent creatures use iron as bones. After 800 million years of propped up the body, instead of calcium, the iron in the skeleton gradually combined with oxygen, so it became the skeleton made of iron oxide.
Perhaps because of the sudden arrival of lava, the skeleton is relatively well preserved, and there is basically no damage except for some cracks.
The skull has a pair of goat-like curved corners, and behind it is a pair of bone wings similar to bats, about three meters tall. The spine is very similar to the human spine, but there are also differences. The lower end of the spine continues to extend to form a spinal tail.
It is also the limbs, one hand and one pair of feet, six finger bones, and the same is true of the toe bones.
The inside of the bones is a hollow structure, which is similar to the bones of birds, that is to say, the wings on the back of these intelligent creatures do have the function of flying.
"How does this creature remind me of the evil devil defined in Western mythology?"
"For good, it's not an international organization's excavation activity now, otherwise some terrorists may jump out and blow up this skeleton and this hollow."
At the beginning, at the International Space Center, religious interference made Huo Gu very big. There was nothing he could do to prove that aliens existed, which meant that people were also born in nature. Who would believe their 'God created man'?
"But then again, why are these intelligent creatures on this planet?"
"Why did it fall to death when the planet was still in a melting state?"
The span of 800 million years is so big that Huo Gu can no longer show the situation at that time.
In thousands of thoughts, the unknown guy who chased himself from the bottom of the sea into the ground flashed in Huo Gu's mind.
