Black technology: starting with space jump machine

"There are too many volcanoes on this planet, right?"

"I have driven the Silver Star for thousands of kilometers now, right? But all I see is volcanoes! Volcanoes! Still volcanoes!"

Lu Yu did not just stay in place to observe for a month. He wanted to keep some tools he had made by hand. If he could not bring them into the cockpit, he must have a stable external environment. Frequent earthquakes made him decide to cross mountains and leave this troubled place early.

Although the Silver Star has only four short-legged small wheels, the special properties of the armor make it immune to the four basic forces while being spatially anchored in the three-dimensional world, so it will not be thrown out due to the movement of the planet.

And because the Silver Star only shows the characteristics of a virtual point in three dimensions, Lu Yu can even drive it vertically along the huge tree trunk to the top of the tree.

It is not difficult to move in the potholes in the jungle, but the distance is much longer. The situation improved a lot after Lu Yu found the river.

The Silver Star is like a weightless object, floating directly on the water and moving on wheels, using water as a road.

Of course there will be rocks blocking the way, but the silver stars are like real mercury, sliding over the rocks smoothly.

There is no bump in the cockpit at all, after all, even a supernova explosion can't affect it.

Even if there is no problem in moving, after a long distance away from the river, Lu Yu found that there are too many active volcanoes on this planet! So many that Lu Yu can see the craters with black smoke no matter which direction he leaves.

"We speculate that the state of this planet is similar to the geographical environment of the blue planet 100 million years ago. It is very likely to be in an active period of the earth's crust, which matches the phenomenon of frequent earthquakes we have observed."

"Geologists believe that during this period, there may even be earthquakes that can cause continental plates to break, which has exceeded the current magnitude and intensity of earthquakes distinguished by humans."

Professor Mao analyzed the speculations made by the expert group for Lu Yu. Now the expert group members who act as Lu Yu's external brain in the base have expanded to more than 200 people. They come from various industries, from quantum physics professors to fitness coaches, and all have only one purpose-to do their best to help Lu Yu solve the problems in front of him.

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "Then the plan to build a simple scientific research base on this planet is ruined?"

"There is no need to be so pessimistic. No matter how active the crustal movement is, there must be relatively calm areas."

Professor Mao on the mobile phone screen clicked on a photo taken by Lu Yu: "Although the Silver Star does not have the ability to fly, we can rely on its characteristics to find a big river as our transportation line."

"In this way, as long as there is no sudden earthquake that will cause the earth to collapse, we can always find a place suitable for the base plan."

Lu Yu nodded in agreement. Compared with drifting in the empty and cold space, he would rather live on a planet with life.

The Silver Star was now standing still in the middle of the rushing river. In front of it was a small waterfall, where you could vaguely see the river winding through the jungle.

Just as Lu Yu was about to end the conversation and continue on his way, he saw a huge creature squeezed out of the bushes on the river bank. It had a pair of huge gray tusks and a huge body covered with thick scales. The alien creature named Gray-toothed Scaled Elephant by experts swayed and stretched its nose towards the river to drink water.

Such a beast is a herbivore. Lu Yu failed to record this alien creature several times.

This opportunity is rare. He was about to open the hatch. The river water shook violently without warning, and everything on this planet seemed to shake.

The earthquake came again.

This earthquake lasted about three to five minutes. In fact, it was only the first one or two minutes that the shaking was very violent, and then it gradually calmed down until it stopped completely. It took only nearly five minutes in total.

When all the shaking stopped, Lu Yu was able to see everything around him again, which shows how strong and frequent the shaking was.

At this moment, a red light flashed in the jungle below, and magma could even be seen overflowing in many places.

A deep crack extended from the end of the ground, and the river water below the waterfall poured back into it crazily. The rising white water vapor quickly formed a local heavy rain when it was cooled, but it could not stop the fire spread by the overflow of magma.

Lu Yu was no longer in the mood to observe any alien creatures. As soon as he turned the Silver Star around, he saw the volcano that he had just passed not long ago. The magma was constantly ejected from the crater into the air hundreds of meters high. The volcanoes around it erupted at the same time, turning the originally blue sky into red and black.

A more violent earthquake came again!

The landslide was even just the prelude to this earthquake. It seemed that the circle of ground centered on the Silver Star had collapsed. It was really turned upside down. The whole piece of land was squeezed from both ends, breaking and closing in the middle like a biscuit, and then slowly rising.

Lu Yu in the cockpit was naturally not hurt. After everything calmed down, he looked out and saw that it was pitch black outside, but it was not the deep darkness in the universe, but a color similar to pitch-black soil.

In the earthquake that just happened, the Silver Star was probably buried deep underground. It couldn't move even a little bit when it tried to use the wheels. It seemed to be stuck underground and couldn't move.

"Hmm"

Professor Mao, whose words had come true, didn't know what to say. However, after Lu Yu tried several times and confirmed that he couldn't leave here by ordinary means, he immediately made a judgment.

"Use points to exchange for black technology products to get out of trouble."

"Or you can only leave by space jump."

Stay or leave forever.

Change a black technology drill to drill through rocks and soil, and then continue guerrilla scientific research observation on the life planet with frequent earthquakes?

Or step into the sea of ​​stars again to encounter the next miraculous opportunity?

Trying luck is definitely not a good idea. Lu Yu's consciousness sank into his mind, and he planned to see if the system could give any black technology products to solve the dilemma.

The result made Lu Yu feel his poverty again. He couldn't exchange 25 points for equipment that could allow the Silver Star to leave here.

"Then there is only one choice left."

This life planet is the first planet discovered by humans to have extraterrestrial life, which allowed Lu Yu to get 25 points from it.

After all, this is not the blue planet, and it is not home after all. Even if a simple scientific research base is established here, Lu Yu will eventually leave.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon and so suddenly.

After staying in the dark underground for two days, and making sure that there was no external force to help him escape, Lu Yu's final choice was to pull the switch of the space jump.

"Click!"

A new journey began again. Lu Yu was even mentally prepared to face another long period of aimless drifting in the deep universe.

But just after the space jump, Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

Outside the Silver Star, there was yellow sand everywhere, and towering buildings stood like mirages not far away.

And closer, there were scattered steel fragments, which looked like the wreckage of a spaceship in science fiction novels!

The previous jump was to a planet with life, but this time it was to a planet with civilization?

Looking at everything in front of him, Lu Yu's expression was like drawing a card with his life span.
