After opening his eyes, what appeared in front of Ye Zhou was still darkness, with only slight light blue flashes flashing in front of his eyes.

"Tu Xingsun No. 1, this is the Tu Xing Sun Temple. Please report your situation."

A shout suddenly came from the earphones. Ye Zhou subconsciously reached out to the front console, turned on the intercom, and replied:

"Tuxingsun-1 has been received. It is currently in good condition, with a depth of 16.2km and is close to the Moho surface. The surface temperature is 363 degrees Celsius, the cabin temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, the thickness of the 'star rock' coating is 112 mm, and the loss rate is less than 1%.

.”

A series of answers came from his mouth, and Ye Zhou finally integrated the simulator's memory into the simulator for the first time.

He knows where he is.

He is underground.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary underground, but an underground that is reached through a huge underground cave with a depth of 18 kilometers excavated by the "Nine Nether" project, a giant domestic earth exploration project.

This is a depth that humans have never reached. Even the most famous Earth telescope project in the Bear Country actually stopped at 13km, which is still far away from the Moho where the original site was selected.

The so-called Moho is actually the connection surface between the crust and the mantle, with an average depth of about 30 kilometers. However, the crust in some areas is thin, and it may only take more than ten kilometers to reach the Moho from the land surface.

For example, the Turfan Basin is where the Jiuyou project is located.

The detector named Tu Xingsun continued to dive. Ye Zhou nervously stared at the deep tunnel in front of the screen, but there was nothing there.

In order to save the equipment life of the detector to the maximum extent, all equipment of this detector will maintain the lowest speed operation before reaching the extreme depth - especially the extremely large lumen searchlight.

Therefore, the current detector only has a small searchlight turned on outside, and the illumination range does not exceed 5 meters.

In the silence, the voice of the command above came again from the earphones.

"Tudi Temple received it. The current sonar feedback is good, the relay recovery chain is operating normally, and the relay engine is on standby. Please continue to dive and keep the communication channel open from now on."

"Tu Xingsun received it."

After answering, Ye Zhou did not turn off the intercom. From now on, he knew that the last two kilometers through the Moho would be the most dangerous part of the entire exploration.

The outside temperature will suddenly rise from the current 400 degrees Celsius to over 1,000 degrees Celsius. Even if the detector is covered with a star rock coating up to ten centimeters thick, it can only survive such high temperatures for 4 hours.

During these four hours, Ye Zhou had to complete all detection and sampling tasks.

The Tuxingsun detector continued to dive. In this oppressive darkness, Ye Zhou's breathing became heavier unknowingly.

This is a depth that humans have never experienced before.

Even the previous drilling work actually used only relay-type hinged automatic drilling machines. The deepest depth that the project team members have ever reached was only 11 kilometers.

He is the forerunner of the entire China, and even the entire human race.

silence.

Ye Zhou had the illusion that he was not in the deep underground, but in the vast universe.

The flashing blue-white dots on those indicator lights are stars.

His eyes unknowingly fixed on those stars. After a moment, these stars gathered into a huge vortex, as if a black hole appeared out of thin air and sucked all the stars into it.

Ye Zhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the vortex, but the next second, the call from the command center in the earphones suddenly pulled him out of the illusion.

"No. 1 Tu Xingsun, please answer immediately, please answer immediately!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Ye Zhou's body. He quickly took a deep breath and replied:

"Tuxingsun No. 1 received! The current detector indicators are normal, but...but my physical condition seems to be a little abnormal."

He glanced at the life support system detection screen on his wrist, which showed that his heartbeat at that moment had reached an astonishing 140 beats per minute.

Generally speaking, this frequency only appears after strenuous exercise, but just now, he had been sitting in the cockpit without moving.

"Received from Tutu Temple. So far, we have received that your vital signs are normal, but your heartbeat is tachy. Do you feel dizzy or sleepy?"

"I feel sleepy, but not dizzy."

"Received. Currently, your blood oxygen and blood sugar levels are normal, and your brain wave activity is normal. I judge that your drowsiness should be normal - you may be tired."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, then recalled the hallucination at that moment, and it seemed that it was really just a normal reaction before falling asleep.

"...Maybe I'm really tired. After all, it's my first time. I was a little too nervous before, and my energy consumption was quite serious."

Ye Zhou said into the intercom.

"Understood, try to stay awake. If necessary, you can add some energy drinks. It's on the shelf on your left hand side. Don't be too nervous. This is just a detection mission. When you come back, everyone will have hot pot.

You celebrate."

Hearing the command's words, Ye Zhou felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

If in a movie, someone says "wait until you come back", it 100% means that the person is going to die.

Flags cannot be set up randomly!

Especially at times like now.

He reached for the energy drink, bit the straw with his teeth and was about to drink it when suddenly, he noticed something unusual out of the corner of his eye.

There was a black shadow on the screen, which seemed to have not moved for a long time.

This is completely abnormal. Tunnel excavation is not standard. It can even be said that under extremely limited conditions, the structure of this bottom tunnel is extremely crude, and it is impossible to level it like a traffic tunnel.

Therefore, even under limited light sources, you can actually see the shadows around the detector changing.

The only possibility is that the shadow follows the movement of the detector.

Ye Zhou frowned.

According to the current situation, it is speculated that either something fell on the detector and stuck, or there was a problem with the external structure of the detector itself, which is why this small shadow was formed. In either case, it is not considered a problem.

It's a trivial matter.

He stretched out his hand and operated a few times on the keyboard instrument panel, turning the control authority to the camera near the shadow, and then shook the joystick to turn the camera in the direction of the shadow.

Nothing can be seen.

The angle of the camera is limited. Even after reaching the extreme angle, all you can see is a fixed shadow.

But the shape of this shadow...

Ye Zhou scratched his head.

It always feels a bit familiar, but for a moment I can't figure out what it is.

Are there any external structures on the detector that create such a shape?

Hook? No, the hook should still be well stored in the insulated compartment.

Cables? There are no relay cables in the last two kilometers, and the detector relies entirely on its own energy.

Just when he was puzzled, there was a slight vibration from the detector, and then the sound of the propulsion motor gradually became quieter.

It’s over.

Ye Zhou cheered up, first turned on all the lights, and put all the detection equipment into full working condition. Then he operated the detector and started to release the hook. He turned his eyes to the screen, intending to start visually monitoring the hook.

operating status.

But at this glance, Ye Zhou's hair stood on end.

Above the screen, there is a huge eye!
