Chapter 885 The First Exploration

In March 2028, three human experts and six elite soldiers nominally belonging to the peacekeeping force walked into a crack in the huge iron.

Xiangshan struggled with his feet in the mud. Even with the help of the powered exoskeleton, he almost fell.

Fortunately, a soldier in front of him helped him.

"Thank you..." Xiangshan said embarrassedly.

A small amount of mud and sand flowed into the interior of the huge structure along the crack, but it did not hinder the matter.

In other words, the mud and sand did not really enter the interior of Ogun.

Because the inner wall is too thick. Although the metal wall is divided into several layers, the total thickness is several meters.

On the deformed fractures of the metal walls, several layers of metal are squeezed together like shale.

Several people stepped directly on the inner wall of the huge creation, and the surroundings were empty, which was obviously a huge space.

Xiangshan's breathing was a little rapid. He looked around nervously. The six soldiers looked in different directions with their military flashlights, but found that there was nothing around them, and there was no wall above them.

"What... happened?" Shen Yuanzun was a little confused: "Empty?"

A soldier unscrewed a red lighting stick, then threw it on the ground, and said: "Follow the established process and continue to explore inside."

"Okay, okay..." Xiangshan sighed.

The soldiers were actually talking to the three scholars. These guys have already run through all the procedures in the simulation training, but the three scholars are not as disciplined as the soldiers, but have only received assault training. The commander of the team made up his mind to remind the three scholars from time to time.

The six soldiers were divided into two groups, front and back, protecting the scholars in the middle, and then walked towards the sharper end of "Ogun". The ground appeared slightly curved. This alien creation deformed when it landed, so it was a little bumpy.

Fortunately, the group had a powered exoskeleton, so they could walk freely.

After walking about 60 to 70 meters, the group finally saw some changes. It was a steel column rising from the ground - considering that this was the inner wall of "Ogun", this might be a beam.

This beam was also somewhat deformed. The commander in charge reached out to stop a few people, and then made a gesture. A soldier carefully stared at the deformed huge metal pillar, slowly approached, and kept shining the light in his hand.

Following this pillar, they found more metal beams, crisscrossing. This seemed to be the internal pillar supporting "Ogun".

The soldier slowly pushed the steel column, but it did not move at all.

"Even if it deforms to this extent, it is still quite stable?" Xiangshan thought: "Deformation was considered at the beginning of the design, so there is enough...enough room to deal with this degree of deformation?"

Yawgmoth turned his head: "You mean, they originally considered, uh...dropping directly?"

Xiangshan thought for a moment and shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. The whole 'Ogon' will even be crushed by its own weight. Even if it doesn't fall down, it will definitely collapse when it is placed on the ground. Even after entering the atmosphere, it will...but...um..."

The voice of the NASA engineer came from the headset: "Are you suspicious that this so-called outer wall will interact with the air after entering the atmosphere, deform, disintegrate, and then release the inner layer? Well...as long as the internal things can hit the ground of a planet, this thing will complete its mission."

Xiangshan was very shocked: "Why not...parachute? Um..."

The soldiers around couldn't help but look at this side twice, thinking: "What nonsense are these engineers talking about." But Xiangshan felt that it was indeed not completely impossible.

After all, "Ogon" has been wandering in the starry sky for a long time. A complex structure like a "parachute" is likely to have various unexpected failures over a long period of time.

And a "parachute that cannot be opened" is almost equivalent to having no structure.

The simpler the structure, the more it can withstand a long period of time. Such a method of landing purely by structure is indeed safer than a parachute.

After all, such a huge metal structure can indeed remain unchanged for a long time without oxygen and gravity.

Until it falls on an unknown planet.

In other words, it doesn't matter if this huge outer wall is instantly shattered.

If these steel columns are a huge shock-absorbing system as speculated, just to transport a small thing to the ground...

As long as the design is reasonable, this outer layer can be used as an energy-absorbing structure...

"But what's the point?"

After getting the permission of the soldiers, Shenyuan Zun also approached the steel column and observed it carefully. But after searching for a while, he came back angrily and said, "There is nothing that looks like a symbol."

Yawgmoth asked seriously, "Is it possible that the material they use to write the symbols is invisible to the human eye? For example, it can only be seen in the infrared or ultraviolet band..."

"We have infrared and ultraviolet observation instruments." Kanhara Tsun said, "There is no sign. This is just a pillar."

Xiangshan sighed, "This is not the main entrance of 'Ogun'. The aliens would not expect us to come in from there. Even if there are symbols, they would not be written here, right?"

A soldier threw down another fluorescent stick, and the group continued to move forward.

Every few dozen meters, they would see obvious metal structures. At this time, the soldiers would throw down a military lighting stick and continue forward.

They had walked a long way. Xiangshan turned his head and found that the light of the lighting stick had been swallowed by the darkness at the farthest point and was almost invisible. Many lighting sticks formed a not straight curve, like the glowing footprints of an invisible giant, passing through a sparse grassland.

Soon, the group came to one end of Ogun.

There were no aliens, no machines, and not even a terminal or mechanical mechanism that could be operated.

Ogun was almost empty.

Yawgmoth fell into deep thought again: "Maybe those aliens don't rely on vision at all? We can't see them either?"

"I don't think it's realistic. Aliens with a refractive index almost the same as the Earth's atmosphere are a bit too sci-fi." Xiangshan waved his hand: "It doesn't make sense at all."

"And we didn't detect any sound waves other than the background noise." Kanhara Tsuneya said: "Even if they don't rely on vision, they should have a feeling, right?"

"Neutrinos?"

"Well, if there are such cells, we as discoverers may be able to share a Nobel Prize."

Sorry, I'm stuck...
