"Oh my God! An artificial plain stretching for thousands of kilometers!" Nian Changqing was the first to shout in surprise. Such a large project is rare even on Star Loma. How much manpower and material resources will it take to build it?
?And it's still so far away? The construction cost is at least ten thousand times that of Star Loma itself. No matter how rich Star Loma is, the people will never allow the federation to be so wasteful.
Who is so full that they can go to such a desolate place, so far away from Silver Plate, so far away from Loma civilization, to build such a big platform? If it is because of the resources of this planet, then no one believes that such a
It is a planet, not to mention that it is not allowed to be developed because of the existence of the life gestation process. Even if it is to be developed, with the resources on this planet, a mining ship is enough, and there is no need to build such a large platform.
Surprised, Jiang Li's order was executed extremely quickly. Before Er Changqing finished speaking, each of them had already completed one bombardment. Thirteen waves of bombardment were concentrated on one point, and immediately
A large crater several kilometers deep was blasted out of Jiangli Circle, exposing the rocks beneath the soil.
"Limak, scan the age of this planet." Jiang Li ordered others to stop bombarding first, and he controlled the fire to go down to the bottom of the pit. The color of the rocks at the bottom of the pit made Jiang Li's eyes shrink. This is not a rock. This is
It is clearly a meteorite! The dark brown skin is the color of oxidation after burning, but the oxygen content on this planet is not high, so the oxidation is not that obvious.
"Report boss, this planet is about the same age as the Earth. It is only a few hundred million years younger than the Earth, but this meteorite is only about a billion years old. It is at least two billion years older than this planet."
Limak soon had the answer. Not only did he analyze the age of the planet according to Jiang Li's order, but he also analyzed the age of the large meteorite in front of him, whose age was unknown.[
Limak's voice also reached the ears of others, and the scene suddenly became cold. Wan Zhenliu, who has rich experience in interstellar exploration, was the first to speak: "Captain, if this rock was hit later, it would be here.
If a huge crater is formed, even if it was hit hundreds of millions of years ago, and even if the dust kicked up by the impact slowly settles down, it should definitely be evenly distributed. It is impossible to fill up the crater. We might as well expand the scope and
This rock was completely exposed."
Everyone knew what Wan Zhenliu said, but no one said anything about him at this time. Even Ji Liofei, who liked sarcastic jokes the most, remained silent, waiting for Jiang Li's decision.
It is already obvious that if this rock was hit by an impact, then there should not be a high plateau plain, but a huge crater. Indeed, this high plateau plain is man-made.
"Scan the age of the mound. Everyone, be careful." Jiang Li did not rush to make a judgment. Each of the thirteen waves was enough to blow a transport ship that brought them here into two pieces. This movement was incredible.
Not big. If there are secrets hidden under the stone, if there are enemies nearby, they should have noticed it. Maybe the enemies are not here, but far away. So Jiang Li wants everyone to be on guard against external attacks.
From the point of view of their feet, it was unlikely that there would be any attacks.
"The composition of the mound is complex, but the oldest component among them is only 140,000 years old and is composed of tiny space meteorites, and the lowest age is sulfate, which is only 30,000 years old. From this, it can be concluded that the appearance of this stone will not be earlier than 30,000 years.
Ten thousand years." This time, Lin Yuyao gave the answer without waiting for Limac to scan. As soon as Jiang Li said scanning, everyone knew that he wanted to determine when the large meteorite arrived here based on the age of the mound.
Yes.
The highest age of 140,000 years is still a space meteorite. In other words, it is unlikely that there are space meteorites with an age of more than 140,000 years around this planet, and they basically exist in the form of space dust. This means
Proved that this stone did not come from here
It is a small galaxy, but it crashed in from outside the galaxy, but it should not hit the No. 5 star. If it crashed in from outside the system, it would only be captured by the gravity of the No. 6 star or captured by the star.
If it wants to collide, it is only logical that it collides with Planet 6 or another star.
The soil is piled on top of the stone. I don’t know if it is directly above it, but the sulfate component should be the product of primitive single-celled life after consuming hydrogen sulfide. What is deposited on top has been floating in the air for an unknown period of time before being deposited.
Then it will accidentally collide with other dust and merge, and the weight will gradually increase. Until the airflow in the atmosphere can no longer support the weight, it will be deposited. In this way, the age of the broken stone here is no more than 30,000 years, although it is not
It's an accurate guess, but it's the most likely possibility at the moment.
"The third-level protection is fully activated, and the sixth-level protection is set to 10%. Adjust the meteorite frequency to continue bombarding and clean out this stone." Jiang Li jumped up from the bottom of the pit and took the lead in facing the bombardment.
There was another wave of bombardment on the wall of the pit. Thirteen people formed a circle directly above the pit and bombarded the wall together. Due to the adjustment,
By increasing the frequency of the gamma ray stream, it will not cause any damage to the rocks underneath. This is also an advantage of the weapons Jiang Li and the others are currently equipped with, so that together with the magnetic radiation protection, they can only target the rocks in certain situations.
Certain substances cause harm, or can cause harm to other things besides certain substances.
All substances in the universe, whether they are pure substances or mixtures, have their own inherent frequency characteristics. Mixtures are less obvious, while pure substances are more obvious. But for Loma Star Technology, as long as it is a single piece
Substances that are aggregated together can be distinguished from other substances. Even if the ingredients are exactly the same, as long as there is a difference in volume, shape, and weight, they can be easily distinguished.
Soon, Kozil, the most observant, shouted: "Captain, please stop the bombardment. I found the edge of the stone." At this time, the deep pit had been expanded by Jiang Li and the others to the point where there were five people at the bottom.
The diameter of the pit is six kilometers, and the diameter of the top of the pit is more than ten kilometers. A whole piece of dark brown stone is exposed at the bottom.
Jiang Li quickly ordered the bombardment to stop, and asked Kezhil and himself to go down to the bottom of the pit, while the rest of the people were still on guard above.
"Captain, look, this is the edge of the stone. The gap between it and the surrounding stones. If you don't look carefully, you will just think it is a crack in a whole stone." Kezikler pointed to the crack on the stone.
A gap of only a few millimeters wide faced Jiang Li. The gap was only a few millimeters wide.
, only a dozen centimeters deep, winding and winding, so that anyone looking at it would think it was a crack in the stone itself. Jiang Li didn't care at all. Limak continued to crack the stone during Jiang Li's bombardment.
After scanning, Jiang Li had already seen this crack.
Now when Kezikli said it, Jiang Li discovered that the colors of the stones on both sides of the gap were different. The color inside the pit was darker, while the color outside, which was still covered in the soil and only exposed a little, was slightly lighter. This kind of color in the atmosphere
The burning oxidation color formed by traveling at medium to high speed represents the length of burning time or the
The severity of the two places is different now. It is a sudden change, and it is distributed along both sides of the gap. This excludes the possibility that the same meteorite is rubbing in the air, and one is burned on the front and the other on the side. If it is
That way, there should be a gradual color transition, not a sudden change.
"Yes, they are two different stones. Good guy, they have the same composition. We were almost deceived again." Limak's deconstruction scan mainly focused on the composition scan. These two big rocks have exactly the same composition. Even Limak
They were also deceived. If it weren't for Kezikler's super powers of observation, Jiang Li and the others might have had to do a lot of research before they discovered it.
Once they found the boundary of the stone, it was easy to handle. Next, Jiang Li and the others continued to clean out the entire stone along this gap. As the cleaning speed accelerated, more and more gaps were discovered. When Jiang Li
After they had been busy for more than an hour, an arc made of neatly built large stones appeared in front of them. The stones were thicker than the stone roads in some ancient villages in China.
It must be neat and orderly. Each stone seems to have been precisely calculated and fit together tightly. At first glance, it looks like the lines on a huge football. The difference is that the football is made up of several pieces of leather stitched together, and this
The arc has not been completely cleared. So far, there are more than ten stones that can be counted. Each one is about the same size, more than ten kilometers in size, and they are all meteorites.
At this time, the mound that had been exposed on the Gaotai plain earlier was also cleared by Jiang Li and the others. From the section of the deep pit, you can still clearly see the shape of the conical mound, which is similar to the soil around the mound.
Completely different characteristics, just like the obvious difference between white plaster mud and carbon mud seen in archaeological excavations.
In other places on the pit walls, small mounds of various sizes, either columnar, conical, or small platforms, were also found, which also bore traces of wind and rain erosion. However, these mounds were all covered by high platforms and plains.
It was covered up and not discovered.
Jiang Li gradually got the answer. This huge arc-shaped object made of many meteorites has existed here for a long time, at least for tens of thousands of years. With the passage of time, the soil layer used to cover up its existence has gradually disappeared.
After being exposed to wind and rain, water and soil were lost, and the meteorite buildings underneath were gradually exposed, so some people
Worried that it would be exposed, they brought soil from elsewhere and filled up the gully eroded by wind and rain. Perhaps it was not completed yet, or perhaps they thought that only a small mound of soil was exposed and would not arouse suspicion, so
He just left it alone, but unexpectedly, the scouts sent by the Star Loma Federation discovered something was wrong.
