Civilization of the Stars: I loaded the mod

Chapter 37 Going deep into the mountain
2200 08 Month 25 Day.

After noon, the archaeological operation hosted by Aisha made progress.

At a depth of 114 meters below the mine in the Lishan Mountain Camp, there is a magnificent stone palace left by an ancient alien civilization. The excavation team did not damage the integrity of the excavation site.

There was a loud movement of the giant, indicating that the thick gate had been officially dismantled.

Led by Aisha, the excavation team cautiously walked into the hall.

The miraculous architectural style, complex and magnificent decorations and caves are arranged in an orderly manner around the front hall.

Gorgeous and complicated works of art are regarded as [rare cultural relics] and are treated like treasures and shipped out one by one.

Front hall, side hall, main hall.

Under Aisha's command or voluntary actions, dozens of people continued to move forward to carry out protective excavation.

All the rare cultural relics are placed in the display boxes of the Gudu civilization, dust-free and sterile, with maximum protection.

In addition, most of the cultural relics are made of stone and crystal carvings, so they are durable and not delicate at all.

The team members tied up without hesitation, one ton after another was transported outward, and the air was swept away.

The original stone bridges and mines were also artificially expanded and consolidated, which greatly facilitated the transportation of materials.

The harvesting operation went quite smoothly until entering the apse.

The members of the Pioneer Team discovered that the entire stone hall half-hidden in the mountain has an overall symmetrical structure. The front hall at the entrance is symmetrical to the apse at the end. There is a sealed gate in the front hall, and the apse also has a sealed gate.

It is generally the same as the stone gate at the front door.

The excavation team was busy until the early morning of the next day. The same bang echoed in people's ears as yesterday. The stone gate was out of its proper position, and then it was slowly moved.

So far, the magnificent stone palace carved on the cliff has been completely opened up.

Amidst the sound of the stone gate sliding, the team members stared expectantly at the gate being slowly dismantled.

The difficulty that has plagued them all day is finally about to be overcome.

"To be honest, I can't even tell which one is the real front door, the front hall or the back hall in this stone hall."

It was Bana who was speaking, wearing a tight-fitting white one-piece life-support suit, with auxiliary life-support equipment hanging from the back waist, and watching the dismantling of the gate through a transparent visor.

The interior of the stone hall is basically completely symmetrical, and it is impossible to tell from the structure whether they entered through the front door or the back door, and the small amount of text in the hall cannot be deciphered.

"That depends on its function. Whether the stone palace is a two-way passage inside and outside the mountain, or a line of defense inside and outside."

Hearing the question in the headset, Aisha answered calmly, staring at the door intently.

It's a pity that the sight was blocked by the swiftly moving Shimen, and there was no room for it in a short time.

The cold wind slowly but unstoppably poured into the space behind the door, whistling and howling music, the first gas exchange in many years.

Gudu, who was simply present, had anticipated this situation and was protected by life-support suits.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The sudden and rapid siren sounded from the instrument not far from the air outlet, attracting the curious eyes of nearby teammates.

Gu Duren in front of the instrument hurried over after a short shock, shouting loudly as he ran.

"Toxic! Lady Aisha! The air is poisonous!"

The yelling from the earphone made her frown, and Aisha held down the running man to comfort her.

"Yuzi, everyone wears survival suits, and I can hear it through the earphones."

Yuzu realized in an instant that Weisheng was taking built-in oxygen, so she quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Lord Aisha."

"Just now the gas analyzer suddenly alarmed that a large amount of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide were mixed in the air."

"Probably behind the door..."

Yuzu pointed to the fully opened gate, which meant that it was self-evident that the toxic gas was released from there.

"Methane? It's not surprising that mountains with coal deposits are rich in methane."

"A lot of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, is there a volcano here?"

Bana was thinking, recalling the knowledge she had learned but never used, with a puzzled expression on her face.

However, no volcanoes have been observed in the Lishan mountain group, and the depth of 8000 meters here is [-] meters away from the depth of the mantle.

"Maybe there is a planetary hotspot below." Aisha pondered for a moment and explained with a smile.

"The thermal energy inside the core releases heat and rises, and the cylindrical material flow that rushes into the mantle layer is called a mantle plume. The magma gushing out from the mantle plume is a hot spot."

"To put it simply and loosely, hot spots will continue to emit magma."

On Gudu star, there are only a few volcanic activities related to hot spots. Active volcanoes are an unavoidable problem on Gaia, because the core of the earth needs to be constantly active.

But thanks to the planetary transformation of the ancient Star Shaper civilization, the planet Gaia has maintained the stability of the continental plate structure for hundreds of millions of years.

Guduxing will not have a few more active volcanoes someday.

"Yuzi, I want you to inform the camp to do a good job of protection."

"Yes!"

Yuzu responded, dropped the monitoring equipment, followed the order and ran in small steps towards the mine.

"Captain, you really didn't come from the [New World Theory] branch of the Academy of Social Sciences? How do I feel... oh~" Bana, the team's 'former geography adventure enthusiast', reacted and sighed blankly.

To be reasonable, she always thought that she was the geography expert in the team. She studied for five days and went to the cave for three years.

The crew members who were able to enter the first batch of scientific research ship teams all had rich knowledge and outstanding abilities.

She belongs to the kind of explorer who knows a little about everything, has excellent military literacy, and has rich experience, so she is lucky to become an ordinary crew member.

As for Captain Aisha, I know that she is from the Academy of Engineering Sciences and has been a deputy director of scientific research, but I don't know the rest because of the different circles.

"Hmph~ Little Bana must be flat-chested and low-sighted." Seeing this, Xing Lai sneered viciously before Aisha opened her mouth.

"The Academy of Engineering has communication with the [New World Theory] branch of the Academy of Social Sciences. For example, this kind of planetary plate movement is full of scientific research materials."

Bana heard and glanced at Aisha, as if looking for an answer.

Aisha nodded at her helplessly, as an admission, and then patted Xinglai's glass visor with a bang.

"Okay, I know you two have a good relationship, don't be shy."

"It just so happens that the stone gate has been completely demolished, let's take a team in and have a look."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked to the right. A small group of people were already ready to enter the stone gate and explore after seeing her turn her head to look back and forth and gesture.

Aisha went to the equipment department to take off the new oxygen tank, took a deep breath of the built-in oxygen and quickly switched to standby, and then replaced the main oxygen tank.

The small and delicate oxygen tank is only the size of a palm, enough for her to breathe all day long.

"Huh... here is Aisha, a small team is ready to move with your equipment."

Press the finger to change the channel, not long after, the other eight members of the team came, and the team of 11 people stood at the entrance of the cave.

This time, all the members of the No. [-] team will participate in the exploration operation collectively, which can be described as a neat team.

With other teams, there is no need for three people to explore and eight people to assist logistics.

Sensing the movement of their vanguard team, the people in the stone palace all looked at the exploration team. Aisha, as the captain and the main person in charge, personally led the team to go deep into the unknown.

The two parties perform their own duties, and the first team is responsible for the operation, so they are now the logistics staff.

Team members Qi Sensen saluted, and the support staff also saluted in unison.

In the silent wind, there is no need to say anything.

Tap-tap-tap footsteps reappeared, reaching the ears of others through the visor, as if stepping on the rhythm of the beating heart, pounding forcefully.

Aisha led the fully equipped team members, turned around the stone gate and walked into the unfamiliar tunnel without looking back.

　After reading the rewards, let’s eat some tickets, you can’t let Qunxingwen starve to death...

　　There are group numbers in the works.
