Major General Through the Upper Gate

Cheng Wei has been restless since meeting that person. Gu Xizheng was worried that Cheng Wei would not be able to resist going down to see him when he was out, so he decided to take him out.

He prepared spare protective suits and biological suits, checked the probe vehicle again, and finally brought two detection robots and a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun, before letting Cheng Wei get into the vehicle with peace of mind.

"Let's take a look at this lake first." Gu Xizheng pointed to the dark area returned on the virtual screen. This is the closest lake to them in the current scanning area. Their current drinking water also comes from here .

"Yeah." Cheng Wei nodded, and after he came out, his messy heart calmed down a little, and he carefully looked at the message returned.

The lake is not far away, only 15 minutes from here.It's just that the farther away from their small building, the stronger the sandstorm and the stronger the wind.In addition, the comfort of the probe car is naturally not as good as that of the personal suspension car and public transportation in normal times, but Cheng Wei felt a little tight in his chest in just ten minutes.

"Put on the biological suit first and then the protective suit. We're going down to have a look now." After Gu Xizheng told Cheng Wei carefully how to put on the clothes, he was the first to get out of the car skillfully.

Gu Xicheng put the detection robot on the ground, and then the knee-high robot turned around and walked towards the lake.

"Scan range, safe."

"Cheng Wei, you can come down." Gu Xijiao took a rough look around, and after confirming that there were no interstellar beasts, he opened the other side door and let Cheng Wei, who was dressed, come down.

"Don't move yet." Because the wind has been increasing, Gu Xijiao used a traction belt to tie him and Cheng Wei together to avoid any accidents.

"Let's go ahead." Gu Xicheng said, pointing in the direction of the lake.

"Okay." Cheng Wei pursed his lips while looking at the traction belt and replied, he followed Gu Xijiao closely, for fear of causing him other unnecessary troubles.

The water quality of the lake was gray-green. The detection robot collected water samples, and Gu Xizheng put the test tubes in the refrigerator.At this time, the robot has changed its shape, and it will go to the bottom of the water according to the instruction.

"There are microorganisms in the water." Cheng Wei also brought out a sample box, and he collected several tubes of water samples by himself, and then collected a few stones on the shore.

This kind of water quality is considered relatively good. Even on the main star of Blue Star, there is not much water quality that can survive microorganisms.If you want to see the magnificent deep blue ocean of the earth, only the Liyue star stationed by Gu Xijiao can have it.

It's just that that place has been occupied by alien beasts all year round, and it is only open for a short month every year.

The detection robot in the water has not found anything new. Gu Xicheng glanced at the topographic map sent back, got up to identify the direction, then pointed to the topographic map and said, "Let's go to this place to have a look."

According to the scan results, it should be a low-lying place, not far from the lake.

"Do you want to drive there?" Cheng Wei asked.

"No, let's walk over." Gu Xicheng put the collected specimens back into the car first, and the two of them walked forward with another detection robot.

The wind speed decreases the further you go, Gu Xizheng looked at the terrain, it should be a basin.

"Drip! An unknown creature, an arthropod, was scanned ahead; danger level: low."

Gu Xijiao and Cheng Wei stopped slightly, and the two of them looked down at the edge of the basin, and unexpectedly saw a small piece of yellowed grass.

Cheng Wei's eyes lit up, and when he was about to go down, he was stopped by Gu Xijiao, who said, "Don't move! There are bugs all over the place."

The detection robot was moving faster than them, Gu Xizheng zoomed in on the returned image, and on the virtual light screen, there were countless insects crawling densely on the grass.

Although the scan showed that it was low-risk, each one was more than one meter long and had as many legs as a centipede.

"Drip - found an unknown ore."

"Collect plant and ore samples!" Gu Xizhen couldn't help but directly opened his mouth and gave the order, maybe it was the energy stone.After receiving the order, the detection robot walked towards the target, and the mechanical arms had become a mining drill.

It is not difficult to collect plant samples, but the trouble is that every ore point detected is full of that kind of bug, and the detection robot is quickly submerged as soon as it walks over.

Those bugs were obviously a little irritable, and they spit out a dark green liquid from their mouths, wrapping the entire detection robot in it.

"Gastric juice, PH value 12, corrosive: moderate."

"I'll go down and have a look, you wait for me here." Seeing that the detection robot was standing still, Gu Xizheng was about to untie the traction and go down to have a look.

"Don't go!" Cheng Wei grabbed his hand, he squeezed his mouth tightly, and said with lowered eyes after a long while: "...We didn't prepare well today, there are too many bugs down there, and I don't know if there are any more." What other things. Anyway, the ore is dead, and it will not be too late to bring a special mining robot out to collect it tomorrow."

"Cheng Wei..." Gu Xizheng's heart moved when he saw his appearance, even through the protective clothing, he couldn't help but want to touch his face.

Fortunately, the detection robot sent back a new message at this time: "The sample collection is complete, and an unknown creature is found approaching. Danger level: high risk! Repeat, danger level: high risk!"

"go!"

"Ok!"

The two of them didn't wait for the robot in the basin to come up, but quickly retreated into the rover.After all, it has no vital signs, as long as it is not directly crushed, it can walk home according to the established procedures.

When the two returned to the rover, the robot in the lake hadn't come up yet.As soon as Gu Xizheng entered the return command, he saw a dense array of things flying over in front of him.

Gu Xizheng took a clear picture and enlarged it, and the scan result still showed that it was an insect, similar in shape to a dragonfly, but the long pointed mouth looked like a mosquito.The thin wings stretch out about one meter, and the slender tail makes them look very graceful when they fly.

Gu Xicheng took several other photos. The whole group has two colors, one dark blue and one orange red.The two groups seemed to be flying from different directions, they quickly merged together, and then large pieces of transparent wings fell from the sky.

They are mating.

Cheng Wei and Gu Xizhen silently watched this grand sex, the adult insects that had lost their wings lingered to death on the pebbles by the lake, but in just a short while, it was covered with corpses in pieces.

At this time, the vision happened.Green vines suddenly sprang up out of thin air on the originally bare lakeside, and the vines quickly rolled up the insects on the ground and dragged them to the ground.All of a sudden, the originally beautiful insects were left with stumps all over the ground.

The vines that absorbed the nutrients of the insects slowly spread all over the cobblestone lake, and Cheng Wei saw that the vines slowly formed one after another gorgeous flower buds.

Among the lush vines, a fiery red delicate flower bloomed, firmly covering the corpse of the insect under the flowers and leaves.

"Something came up in the lake. On the 1st, go collect a plant sample. Collect insect samples in two colors, and try to find a complete corpse." Because of a change, Gu Xijiao did not let the robot in the lake come back after it landed. , but stayed by the lake to stand by.

"Received." The robot walked towards the piece of green. Gu Xicheng stared at the lake, only to see silvery white scales flashing, one after another fish jumped from the lake to the edge of the lake, scrambling to eat the green.

But in the blink of an eye, the lakeside became bare again, as quiet as if nothing had happened.

"It's amazing..." No matter how many carnivorous plants he had seen, Cheng Wei was still shocked by this scene.He and Gu Xizheng were standing on that cobblestone just now, and he also collected a few stones.

Even the detectors didn't detect any life forms under the stone. If it was him and Gu Xijiao who were entangled by these vines just now, did the two of them become nutrients like those insects?

"Those vines should be parasitic." Gu Xizheng pondered for a while. He had seen this kind of scene quite a lot. Because the vines are parasitic in special plants, ordinary detection cannot detect the wavelength of life.

Cheng Wei nodded, and he said: "When the water sample was collected just now, the water body reacted with my reagent, no wonder there are microorganisms in the water, the eggs of those insects enter the lake to hatch, and those fish are probably their first dessert. "

"That's all for today, let's go back first." Gu Xicheng glanced at the weather forecast, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it showed rain in an hour.Just as the two robots had returned to their side, Gu Xijiao carefully put the collected samples back into the sampling box.

"Okay." It wasn't long before they came out, and Cheng Wei also wanted to go back and look at the specimens collected today.
