Chapter 53 Changed tasks
As Wang Li expected, not long after he reported the matter, he received a notification of a change in the mission.
"Comrade Wang Li, I would like to inform you of the change of mission."
In the mission log, the mission change information has been sent, but it is not what Wang Li thought.
He thought his superiors would ask him to fish out these three suspected life forms and then take them back for study.
But he still underestimated Zhou Heng's plan.
For these three suspected life forms, the command center has urgently modified an advanced transport spacecraft.
Not only did they want to salvage these three suspected life forms, but they also wanted to take away the magma lake as well.
Afterwards, for the sake of safety, this modified cargo spacecraft will stay over the b2 area to avoid excessive contact with human society.
It is specially used to study these three suspected life forms.
Wang Li's task is to monitor these three little things at all times.
Fortunately, these three little things don't seem to be the lively type. Except for moving from time to time to show that they really know how to move, they spend the rest of the time drifting with the tide.
At the same time, Wang Li also observed that every twenty minutes, these three little things would sneak in and linger near the entrance of the cave for about twenty seconds, and then return to their previous position, moving again from time to time.
Wang Li speculated that this might be a way for them to obtain energy.
Because only the temperature at the entrance of the cave is the highest.
But he wasn't sure, maybe it just wanted to stay warm.
Or is this actually a piece of ordinary material, a piece of magma that has not liquefied?
In short, before the arrival of professional equipment, Wang Li had no way to study it, and there was no way to completely define it.
This state lasted for a day.
Because it was an emergency refit, there was no time to erase even the serial number of the cargo ship on the spacecraft.
An ore transport spaceship bearing the number: Mining Transport 233 finally arrived here.
Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, under his watch, there were no accidents with these three little things.
"Thank you for the information, Comrade Wang Li."
On the screen of the aircraft, a slightly muscular face appeared: "Leave it to me next."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Wang Li nodded, and then moved the aircraft aside.
This is a modified version of a large cargo spaceship. Its size is more than three times the size of the magma lake below.
The boss's method is very simple, shoot six long needles from the bottom of the salvage ship.
Six long needles were instantly inserted into the surroundings of the magma lake.
Wang Li knew that this was a magnetic field generator.
They can generate a strong magnetic field to firmly block all matter in this space, making them temporarily form a whole.
Then the lower cabin of the salvage ship unfolded from the middle, revealing a large space inside.
This is where the lava lake is held.
The salvage work took three hours.
Although it is currently in the salvage stage, preliminary exploration work can already begin.
Although it is a temporary modification, there are many things that should be included. A more professional detector can easily pass through magma.
Because the salvage ship was conducting salvage operations, this task fell on Wang Li.
What Wang Li didn't expect was that the task of transporting the detector actually fell on Luo Xing.
"Brother Wang, you are amazing. On the first day of the mission, you caused such a big battle. The headquarters actually asked me to end the work at hand immediately and make a trip to deliver this thing to you."
As he said that, almost all of Luo Xing's figures were lying on the screen: "Tell me, Brother Wang, what exactly did you do?"
Wang Li raised his body back, and then waved his hands in disgust: "It's not confirmed yet. I'll tell you when it's confirmed."
"Tell me about it, Brother Wang." Luo Xing wanted to pester him for a while, but Wang Li didn't speak.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's actually a big deal because it involves extraterrestrial life after all.
Although they are already an interstellar civilization and have come into contact with alien civilizations several times, this is the first time they have had such close contact with alien life.
If the final discovery is that this is indeed extraterrestrial life, it will be an epoch-making discovery.
The importance of this is self-evident.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Heng immediately blocked the news after Wang Li reported it.
"Okay, hurry up and get to work. If you really want to know, don't forget to watch the news these days. I guess if I feel right, this is big news."
Seeing that Wang Li's tone was indeed harsh, Luo Xing did not continue to pester him.
"Okay, then I won't ask. Brother Wang, this is your detection equipment. I will put it on for you right now."
With that said, Luo Xing controlled the mechanical arm deep inside the spacecraft to grab Luo Xing's aircraft, and then modified it.
The first step is to dismantle the damaged laser refrigeration device.
The aircraft originally resembled a perpetual gyroscope. Under Luo Xing's modification, its sharp tip was quickly removed and replaced with a spherical metal one meter in diameter.
After the detector was installed, Luo Xing did not stay too long. In order to urgently transport the detector to Wang Li, Luo Xing had temporarily put down a lot of work.
After Luo Xing left, Wang Li drove the aircraft slowly down to three meters above the magma lake.
"Enable autohover functionality."
"Autohover feature activated."
After the aircraft hovered steadily three meters away from the vendor in the magma lake, Wang Liqun spoke again: "Start the detector."
"Detector activated."
A small opening was opened under the star detector below the aircraft, and a piece of Xichang's metal body penetrated deep into the sphere and plunged into the magma.
As the detector went deeper, the situation under the magma also appeared on the screen in front of Wang Li.
At the same time, on the right side of the screen, various data are constantly updated.
Wang Li didn't care about other data at all. He only cared about one piece of data, which was the signal flashing frequency and pattern, as well as whether the signal was sent out and the effective distance of the signal transmission.
The effective frequency and pattern of signal flashing are important basis for new human civilization to judge whether something is a living thing.
From the perspective of new human civilization, living organisms are not necessarily the same organisms as humans, or even carbon-based organisms.
If a naturally born object can independently and regularly flash signals, it can be simply judged that it is a substance with signs of life.
Afterwards, through various tests on life forms, such as whether it can reproduce, etc., we can accurately determine whether a substance is a living thing.
The more regular the signal flashes and the higher the frequency, it means that the life form of this life form is more advanced and it may have thoughts and consciousness.
And whether it sends a signal to the outside is related to the danger of this thing.
If it sends signals outward, and the signal strength and frequency can reach the level of interstellar signals, then it can be suspected that this thing is sending unknown information to some kind of alien existence.
But fortunately, they have not detected any signals being sent out from the main star so far.
