Homo sapiens

Chapter 595 In-depth exploration

Venus.

In the basin near the South Pole, the scientific research submarine was still parked in it. However, at this time, the scientific research submarine had actually returned to the Yun Palace Base once and returned the collected underground biological samples to the Yun Palace Base.

Another rotation period has arrived.

Foucault, Huang Wei, Fujita Ang and others continued to return to their posts through synchronous robots.

This time they immediately launched three spider-like robots. These robots were made of various advanced materials and equipped with nuclear batteries, magnetic monopole crystal communicators, and magnetic field detectors.

Send the spider robot directly into the ground.

Now the Yun Palace Base is very interested in the underground world of Venus.

The task of Foucault and others is to fully explore the boundaries of the underground world.

Three spider robots entered the activity area of ​​underground creatures one after another.

Huang Wei and the others, who are responsible for controlling the spider robot, are collecting surrounding stratigraphic data and characteristics of life forms through magnetic field detectors.

After all, the previously collected Venusian pangolins, crystal ants, and sulfur-based fungi can already be used to study part of Venus' underground ecosystem.

However, the Yun Palace Base and the scientific division behind it are very sure that there are more species existing underground on Venus.

The reason for this judgment lies in the existence of two multicellular organisms, the Venusian pangolin and the crystal ant, because there are definitely not just a few types of multicellular organisms.

If there were only a few multicellular organisms, it would be difficult for this ecosystem to develop such advanced animals as the Venus pangolin.

What's more, there is only one location for scientific research submarine drilling, and the detection radius is less than 100 kilometers.

This range is just the tip of the iceberg for the entire Venus strata.

The spider robots divided into three groups and explored in three directions. The tunnels dug by these Venusian pangolins spread throughout the entire stratum, just like a huge underground maze.

Fortunately, there is a magnetic monopole crystal communicator that can directly ignore the barriers of the strata. Otherwise, ordinary radio communications would not be able to be used in this underground maze.

The spider robot controlled by Huang Wei is heading north, and the spider robots of the other two are heading west and south respectively.

There is basically no need to detect the east side, because there are several active volcanoes on the east side and there is highly active magma activity underground. It is definitely not a habitat for underground creatures.

The spider robot moves very conveniently and quickly in this underground tunnel.

Soon the spider robot controlled by Huang Wei encountered three Venusian pangolins. Not wanting to harm them, Huang Wei directly activated the sonic repeller.

A burst of infrasound waves spread around.

Suddenly, the three Venus pangolins seemed to have been stimulated by something. They instantly rolled up their bodies and turned into a sphere, and then began to roll towards the slope of the tunnel. They quickly escaped from the coverage of infrasound waves.

This infrasound frequency was tested on several Venusian pangolins they captured before. It can make the Venusian pangolins feel uncomfortable without killing them all at once.

Although 342 Venusian pangolins have been found in the strata within a radius of 100 kilometers, the total number of this group is still not completely determined. If the total number of Venusian pangolins is very small, casual hunting may lead to the destruction of this group.

Along the way, Huang Wei controlled the spider robot as much as possible and drove away the Venusian pangolins that had been identified along the way.

The border is more than 100 kilometers long, and the terrain is too complicated. It took the spider robot three days and three nights to reach the border.

Huang Wei, who had worked several shifts, came online again. He first took a look at the data and the holographic stratigraphic map. There were already dozens of kilometers of unfamiliar areas on it.

In these unfamiliar areas, the number of underground tunnels is still very dense.

Even if these tunnels occasionally avoid some areas, Huang Wei can see that these new areas are still not the limits of Venusian pangolins.

Two hours later.

"Huh? New discovery..."

Hearing Huang Weidu's voice, Foucault also came over: "What did you find?"

"There is a part of water in the newly formed simulated stratum of the detector. I just discovered that there are some active outlines in the water body."

"Then adjust the direction."

"no problem."

Huang Wei immediately adjusted the direction of the spider robot and crawled towards a nearby underground water body.

At this time, Huang Wei also began to discover other species.

For example, there are pale snake-like creatures and various crawling underground worms. These creatures live in smaller caves and tunnels.

When Huang Weidu Spider Robot arrived at the nearest underground pool, through various detection equipment, he clearly saw that there were many animals and special algae hidden in this pool covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

The temperature of this pool is about 28 degrees Celsius, so the water inside is not fresh water, but acidic water.

That's right, the water in this pool contains a lot of carbonic acid and sulfuric acid, and its pH is about 3.4.

But even in this acidity, there are still a lot of organisms living in it. It is obvious that these organisms have adapted to the highly acidic liquid environment.

When Huang Wei saw this strange creature, he sighed in his words: "It's such a vast world, full of wonders."

"These are all crustacean aquatic creatures..." Foucault mused.

Compared with fish with thin skin and thick flesh, crustacean aquatic creatures are more adaptable to the underground environment of Venus.

Different environments create different species.

Although the ecospheres are different and the genes are not similar at all, there is a special phenomenon in nature - convergent evolution.

Although the environments of the Earth's ecosphere and the Venus's ecosphere are very different, they are still in the same universe and some basic physical rules are the same.

This is also the fundamental reason for convergent evolution.

At this time, the crustaceans found in the underground waters of Venus look similar to crabs and lobsters.

There are also some creatures similar to jellyfish.

In addition to Huang Wei's side, spider robots from the other two directions have also discovered many new species.

Especially in a large underground cavity area on the south side, which is connected to a large underground tunnel, like an underground grand canyon.

Inside, there are a large number of fluorescent mushrooms, which turn the place into a bright blue world.

There are flying insects discovered for the first time, as well as various fungi. Some fungi can grow to tens of centimeters high, turning this place into a "mushroom forest."

Here, the spider robot also found a lot of predators, which are flying insects similar to wasps that usually attack other animals in groups.

In the camera footage, a white-striped bee was seen biting a Venusian pangolin to death and then dividing its flesh and blood.

As time goes by, more and more underground creatures on Venus are discovered and studied.

The Homo sapiens company has also become more and more comprehensive in its understanding of the underground ecosystem of Venus, and has expanded the scale of the Venus Biological Research Institute.

Anyway, there are countless talents in the company now, and it is not difficult at all to transfer a group of people to study the creatures of Venus.

After all, the underground ecosystem of Venus is very large. The current exploration radius has expanded to one thousand kilometers, and the edge is still not visible.

Many researchers have said with certainty that in the underground rock formations of Venus, apart from the areas currently experiencing magma activity, there is a high probability that Venusian animals exist in other areas.
