Guided by Lily's good nose, Hao Ren found the first fragment of the crashed aircraft.
It was a large piece of bent and twisted metal plate and an oval-shaped equipment compartment with no apparent function. They were tangled together with many burnt cables and tubes, exuding a pungent burnt smell. Although after a day and night,
After cooling, the high temperature on this piece of wreckage has faded, but it is obvious that it has experienced quite violent explosions and combustions before, which makes its outer shell appear to be in an almost molten state.
This fragment, which was five to six meters long, fell between two huge broad-leaved trees. Its fall created an impact crater with a radius of about ten meters. The two broad-leaved trees beside the crater were in completely different conditions: one of the trees had already
Killed by high temperature and shock waves, the trunk was broken in half, and only some carbonized branches were left in the crown of the tree. However, the other tree was lush and green, still standing upright at the edge of the pit, and even its branches and green leaves seemed to be full of vitality.
It's like it just grew out.
There is no doubt that the second tree was derived from the twigs of the eldest son's tentacles that poked out of the surface. It is the nerve point used by the huge and terrifying creature inside the planet to sense the outside world. Standing on the edge of the impact crater, Hao Ren said
Knowing that he has fallen into the eyes of the eldest son.
But as Zhuomu said, when an eldest son grows to maturity (the usual standard is that he can use his tentacles to reach out from any place on the surface of the earth while lying in the center of the earth), his perception will undergo some changes.
The "microorganisms" around the tentacles will no longer attract his attention, unless the microorganisms produce a powerful energy response that is enough to destroy the main tentacles, or emit some special, irritating or provocative odor.
Of course Hao Ren would not do this, so he and the other three restrained their aura, carefully came to the impact crater, and began to inspect the cooled aircraft wreckage.
"This should be a radar cabin. The metal plate on it is part of the radar cabin's protective cover." The data terminal floated next to Hao Ren's head and scanned the structure of the aircraft wreckage with a blue beam. "The inside has been completely destroyed...
It seems that the previous impact was very strong, and every part of the aircraft was greatly squeezed. The tentacles of the First Son should have released something similar to a stasis field, so the aircraft that was diving and attacking at full speed instantly decelerated from extremely high speed to zero.
No vehicle can withstand such a speed change without an inertial stabilizer."
"There should be other wreckage nearby, maybe in better condition than this one," Hao Ren raised his head and looked around, "I remember that an aircraft was destroyed during the bombing process, and there were several aircraft before it was destroyed.
With obvious deceleration, its saved state should be more complete."
Lily wrinkled her nose: "No matter how complete it is, it fell off after it was blown to pieces."
But having said that, as a good dog... a good dog demon, the Husky girl is still very dedicated when looking for things. Her nose is even better than the simple version of the data terminal's radar in this environment.
After a while, more wreckage crash sites were found.
There were more falling objects than expected. If every scattered screw was included, Hao Ren felt that the four aircraft might even disintegrate into five-digit pieces and fall in this area, and their
The scattering range may even exceed a radius of ten kilometers, but not every fragment deserves attention. Hao Ren is looking for large fragments that may carry a cockpit.
It would be great if the remains of the pilot could be found...
The second large piece of debris they found fell into a depression hundreds of meters away from the radar cabin. This piece of debris was several meters larger than the radar cabin. It had two parallel metal rails that seemed to be accelerating rails. Some
The cracked tube and several sintered and deformed coil structures were a mess that was tangled together and stuck diagonally in the center of the depression. All the water originally accumulated in the depression had been evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only a crack.
of dirt.
"This should be a weapon module, it looks like a part of a railgun," the data terminal analyzed again. "There should be more than just these acceleration tracks, but they are the only ones that remain. Use this machine to see what this is.
...High-temperature superconductors, capacitors with good efficiency, and...huh? A projectile stuck at the end of the track groove? The material is good."
"Who knows what you're talking about?" Wuyue scratched his head and slid his tail impatiently on the ground. "Just tell me whether their weapons technology is high or not. You can tell the survivors by this."
Is it on an industrial scale?”
"The entry-level technology of the railgun is not a very high-end thing. People on the earth are already struggling with it, but the railgun after it has matured is definitely not on the same level as the early demonstrators," the data terminal said after crashing into the wreckage.
"The only thing left in the wreckage is this sturdy but non-technical part. The truly high-precision structure has been burned due to the high temperature. This machine can only analyze the materials. The means of these survivors are pretty good."
Yes, such a railgun can penetrate anything created by mankind so far with a single shot, including Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and the Pyramid of Khufu. Of course, this machine believes that the plasma bombs they dropped during yesterday's bombing are powerful
Bigger, at least when dealing with monsters like the eldest son whose tentacles can reach hundreds of kilometers, bombs are more effective than naval guns."
"To manufacture and maintain such powerful large-scale aerial machinery, there must be a complete and stable industrial system," Hao Ren touched his chin, "and this industrial system must have the ability to continuously mass-produce these weapons for consumption.
, which requires raw material support. A total of six aircraft appeared in yesterday's attack, and in the end only two returned alive. I believe that this kind of loss is definitely very common during the confrontation with the eldest son, and may even be more serious..."
"The survivors are not just as simple as surviving, they must at least have the complete strength of a country, both industrially and demographically. They must have raw material production areas and factories, as well as ancillary industries and a population base to support these things.
And all of this requires a territory that cannot be too small, otherwise the ancient weapons left over from the last civilization will not be enough to survive these thousands of years." Vivian nodded, "Those people on the earth have been prosperous for one or two generations.
The 'ancient gods' who wiped out people's species are a ready-made example."
Hao Ren waved to the autonomous machines that were patrolling the perimeter, and asked them to start cleaning up the wreckage of the railgun in front of them and collecting the debris scattered around. These autonomous machines were the ones that Nolan had modified last night.
, although some of their tentacles are equipped with laser rifles and protective force field generators, the remaining tentacles can still complete basic engineering operations.
Hao Ren felt that he really needed to permanently transform a batch of autonomous machines into this half-combat and half-auxiliary model, especially when exploring a mysterious planet full of dangers like this. Maybe he could give this modified product a new name: Frontline Universal.
type?
"Collect all the larger wreckage," Hao Ren explained casually to Vivian next to him while commanding the autonomous machinery. "The laboratory on the spacecraft is still usable, and it can be brought back to Nolan for use on the shipboard analysis host.
Study, study.”
The collected remains were carefully sorted, packed into storage containers, and stored in Hao Ren's portable space that seemed to never be filled, while Lily went deep into the jungle to look for other fragments.
After a while, Hao Ren suddenly heard a gunshot from the woods, and at the same time, Lily exclaimed: "Wow?!"
"I'm going...there's something wrong with that bastard!"
Hao Ren called out, turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound, with Wuyue and Vivian following closely behind.
But when they were halfway there, they saw Lily running out of the woods in full swing, jumping up and down and shouting: "Landlord, landlord! I saw someone! I saw someone! And he was pointing at me."
Shoot!"
Seeing the husky girl so lively, Hao Ren's heart just returned to his stomach, but then he was dumbfounded: He was shot and still so happy, this guy was really killed and his whole family could live with it.
So happy, right?
And she found the surviving pilot?!
"You're not hurt, are you?" Hao Ren looked the husky girl up and down, "I just heard you calling."
Lily raised her arm: "A little skin injury, mainly because it happened too suddenly and I didn't react. When I saw the bullet, it was hard to hide, so I had to block it with my arm. Alien guns are better than those on Earth.
Awesome, I thought I could catch the bullet..."
Hao Ren glanced at the rather scary wound on Lily's arm, muttered that the husky was really forgiving, and then pushed her towards Wuyue: "Qiuyue, treat her."
Nangong Wuyue summoned a healing water ball and wrapped it around Lily's wound. The gunshot wound immediately began to squirm and heal. Seeing that Lily's injury was not serious, Hao Ren turned to look in the direction he came from:
"just in front?"
"It's not far ahead, but the guy seemed to have fainted after shooting me. I think the guy was too seriously injured..."
Under Lily's instructions, the group quickly found the crash site in the dense forest.
The largest piece of aircraft debris fell here. The plants near the crash site showed signs of being severely burned by the fire. A pile of messy metal debris lay quietly in the burned circular open space. Seeing this scene,
Hao Ren's first reaction was how could anyone survive such a tragic crash?
Then he saw the "survivor" in the middle of the wreckage.
It was a woman, or at least a "female" judging from her body shape. She was lying lifelessly on her side among a pile of twisted pipes and metal. Many places on her body were burnt black. Her left arm
has disappeared, and there is still a dark weapon in her right hand, which should be the gun that injured Lily, and the lower body of this woman is completely empty, her waist has been blown to pieces, only
Some broken cables poked out from the breaks, and occasionally some sparks jumped out.
This is the "survivor" Lily was talking about.
Vivian carefully looked at the broken waist of the woman who was suspected of being a robot. She turned and rolled her eyes at Lily: "Well, the injury is indeed quite serious. I doubt you even realized that this is a robot."
"I didn't see it clearly before," Lily scratched her hair, "and suddenly he shot at me, so I just focused on the trajectory of the bullet...".
