After opening his eyes, what appeared in front of Ye Zhou was still darkness, only a slight light blue flash kept flashing in front of his eyes.

"Tu Xingsun No. 1, this is the Temple of the Earth, please report your situation."

A shout suddenly came from the headset, Ye Zhou subconsciously reached out to the front console, turned on the intercom, and replied:

"Tuxingsun No. 1 received, it is in good condition, the depth is 16.2km, it is close to the Moho surface, the surface temperature is 363 degrees Celsius, the temperature in the cabin is 24 degrees Celsius, the thickness of the 'star rock' coating is 112 mm, and the loss rate is less than 1% ."

A series of answers came out of his mouth, and Ye Zhou finally merged the simulator's memory in the simulator for the first time.

He knew where he was.

He is underground.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary underground, but is reached by a huge underground hole up to 18 kilometers deep excavated by the domestic giant ground exploration project "Jiuyou" project.

This is a depth that has never been reached by human beings. Even the most famous Earth telescope project in Maoxiong Kingdom actually stopped at 13km, which is still far from the Moho where the site was originally selected.

The so-called Moho surface is actually the connection surface between the crust and the mantle. The average depth is about 30 kilometers, but the crust in some areas is thin, and it may only take more than ten kilometers to reach the Moho surface from the land surface.

For example, the Turpan Basin where the Jiuyou project is located.

The probe named Tu Xingsun was still diving, Ye Zhou stared nervously at the deep tunnel in front of the screen, but there was nothing there.

In order to save the equipment life of the detector to the greatest extent, before the detector reaches the limit depth, all equipment will be maintained at the lowest speed - especially the super-lumen searchlight.

Therefore, the outside of the current detector is just a bunch of small searchlights, and the illumination range is not more than 5 meters.

In the silence, the voice of the command above came from the earphones again.

"The Temple of the Earth has received it. The sonar feedback is good at present, the relay recovery chain is running normally, and the relay engine is on standby. Please continue to dive and keep the communication channel open from now on."

"Tu Xingsun received it."

After answering, Ye Zhou didn't turn off the communicator. From now on, he knew that the last two kilometers across the Moho would be the most dangerous part of the entire detection.

The outside temperature will rise sharply from the current 400 degrees Celsius to more than 1000 degrees Celsius. Even if the probe is covered with a 10-centimeter-thick star rock coating, it can only last for 4 hours at such a high temperature.

In these 4 hours, Ye Zhou has to complete all the detection and sampling tasks.

The Tu Xingsun probe continued to dive, and in this oppressive darkness, Ye Zhou's breathing became heavier unknowingly.

This is the depth that human beings have never been before.

Even in the previous drilling work, only the relay hinge was used to carry the automatic drilling machine. The deepest depth reached by the project team members was only 11 kilometers.

He is the forerunner of the entire China, and even the entire human race.

silence.

Ye Zhou had an illusion in a trance, as if he was not in the deep underground, but in the vast universe.

The bluish-white dots flashing on those lights are the stars.

His eyes froze unconsciously on those stars, and after a while, these stars gathered into a huge vortex, as if a black hole appeared out of nowhere, sucking all the stars into it.

Ye Zhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the vortex, but the next second, the shout from the command in the earphone suddenly pulled him out of the hallucination.

"Tu Xingsun No. 1, please answer immediately, please answer immediately!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out from Ye Zhou's body, and he quickly took a deep breath and replied:

"Tuxingsun No. 1 received! At present, the detector indicators are normal, but... But my physical condition seems to be a little abnormal."

He glanced at the life support system detection screen on his wrist, which first showed that his heartbeat had reached an astonishing 140 beats per minute at that moment.

This frequency generally only appears after strenuous exercise, and just now, he had been sitting in the cockpit motionless.

"The Temple of the Earth has received it. At present, your vital signs are normal, but your heartbeat is too fast. Do you feel dizzy or sleepy?"

"I felt sleepy, but not dizzy."

"Received. At present, your blood oxygen and blood sugar levels are normal, and your brain wave activity is normal. I judge that your drowsiness should be normal—you may be tired."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, then recalled the momentary hallucination just now, it seemed that it was really just a normal reaction before falling asleep.

"...Maybe I'm really tired. After all, it's the first time. I was a little too nervous before, and the energy consumption was serious."

Ye Zhou said into the intercom.

"Understood, you try to stay awake, and if necessary, you can add some energy drinks, which are on the shelf on your left hand. Don't be too nervous, this is just a detection mission. When you come back, everyone will eat hot pot. You celebrate."

Hearing the command's words, Ye Zhou felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

If it's in a movie, saying something like "when you come back", it means 100% that the person is going to die.

The flag can't stand indiscriminately!

Especially at times like this.

He reached for the energy drink, and after biting open the straw with his teeth, he was about to raise his head to drink it, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something unusual.

There was a black shadow on the screen, which seemed to have not moved for a long time.

This is completely abnormal. The tunnel excavation is not standard. It can even be said that under extremely limited conditions, the structure of this bottom-penetrating tunnel is extremely simple, and it is impossible to level it like a traffic tunnel.

So, even with a limited light source, you can actually see the shadows changing around the detector.

The only possibility is that the shadow is following the motion of the detector.

Ye Zhou's brows furrowed.

According to the current situation, it is speculated that either something has fallen on the detector and stuck, or there is a problem with the external structure of the detector itself, so this small shadow is formed, no matter which case, it is not considered. It's the little things that don't matter.

He stretched out his hand and operated a few times on the keyboard dashboard, turning the control authority to the camera near the shadow, and then shaking the joystick to turn the camera in the direction of the shadow.

Can't see anything.

The angle of the camera is limited, and even after reaching the extreme angle, all you can see is a fixed shadow.

But the shape of this shadow...

Ye Zhou scratched his head.

It always feels a little familiar, but I can't think of what it is for a while.

Is there any external formation on the detector that would form such a shape?

Claw? No, the claws should be well stowed in the insulated compartment by now.

cable? There are no relay cables for the last two kilometers, and the detector relies entirely on its own energy.

Just when he was puzzled, there was a slight vibration from the detector, and then the sound of the propulsion motor gradually decreased.

in the end.

Ye Zhou cheered up, first turned on all the lights, and turned all the detection equipment into full-load operation. Then he operated the detector and started to release the hooks. His eyes turned to the screen, and he planned to start monitoring the hooks visually. operational status.

But at this glance, Ye Zhou's hair stood on end.

Above the screen, there is a huge eye!

An eye that shines with golden light!
