Chapter 1766 Mercury Prairie

Chapter 1766 Mercury Prairie

The meteor that hit Mars finally managed to escape the gravity of Mars and flew into space. And the meteor that hit Mercury did not break free from Mercury's gravitational pull. It exploded directly on the surface of Mercury.

But the meteor that hit Mercury still left a long scar on the surface of Mercury. So, there is that long canyon above Mercury. And in the canyon, there are some signs of volcanic activity. Because this canyon is very deep, it directly enters the underground magma layer of Mercury.

And after this meteor hit Mercury and formed a grand canyon, it had no chance to fly into space again. He was captured directly by Mercury's gravity. So, this meteor stayed on Mercury.

But at that time, after the meteor hit Mercury and passed through the surface of Mercury, it generated a very high temperature. So, after the meteor slid to the tiankeng, it suddenly exploded.

Thus, this huge tiankeng was formed. This is a huge sinkhole formed by the explosion of a small celestial body. Although it looks similar to the tiankeng on the earth, the two are fundamentally different. '

Zhao Zhongyao looked at his son, and told Feifei the thoughts he had speculated about. After listening to Dad's analysis, Feifei felt that it made sense.

‘Dad, so to speak, the sinkhole in front of us is a huge explosion crater. ’ Said Feifei.

‘That’s right, this is not a sinkhole formed by a geological collapse, but a huge sinkhole formed by an asteroid explosion. Zhao Zhongyao said so.

After hearing what his father said, Feifei felt that it made sense. But when he took a closer look, he felt something was wrong.

'Dad, look at this tiankeng, if it was formed by an explosion, how could it have such a strange appearance! ’ Feifei looked at the surrounding environment and said.

Zhao Zhongyao also felt that this explosion crater was a little special. It's just that I still don't understand what Feifei wants to say. So, he looked at Feifei again and said, 'Then what do you want to say? Then just say it! Do you feel anything strange about this tiankeng? '

'Dad, look. If this tiankeng was formed by an explosion, shouldn't the bottom of this tiankeng be the lowest? But from what we see now, the bottom of this tiankeng is not the lowest. Instead, it presents a terrain with a high middle and low surroundings. You said that such a shape was also formed by an explosion. ’ Feifei couldn’t understand all this.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the surrounding terrain again and said,'Yes! The terrain here is a bit strange. How could it be high in the middle and low around it! It doesn't look like it was formed by an explosion. '

'Dad, so, is there something wrong with your asteroid impact and explosion? How do you explain the special terrain at the bottom of this tiankeng. ’ Feifei looked at Dad again and said.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'How did this reason come about. Now it seems that we still don't quite understand. We have to go outside to investigate before we can know. But I still firmly believe that my explosion said that this crater was probably formed because of the asteroid explosion. '

'Okay, since that's the case, let's go outside and have a look together! See if there is any place out there that can prove your explosion says. ’ Feifei looked at Dad again and said.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said,'Okay, let's go outside and have a look! 'Zhao Zhongyao also felt that he couldn't observe the situation outside just by being inside the spaceship. Let's go outside and have a look! '

So, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei began to wear spacesuits, and wanted to go outside the spacecraft. It's just that Tian Tian and Qu Yuqian saw the beautiful scenery outside now. The two of them were also a little curious. I also want to go outside the spaceship to have a look. After all, what's the point of just staying in the spaceship. Only by going outside the spacecraft can you get a feel for what the surface of Mercury looks like.

'Mom, let's go outside and have a look too! What's the point of light in this spaceship. ’ Seeing that her father and brother were going to explore outside again every day, she felt a little ready to move. After all, she didn't want to stay in the spaceship all the time, she also wanted to go outside the spaceship to have a look.

After hearing her daughter's words, Qu Yuqian looked at her and said, 'There may be some danger outside, let's stay inside the spaceship! '

Qu Yuqian thought about their previous experience on Venus, and she didn't want her daughter to take risks outside.

But I still want to go outside every day. She looked at her mother again and said, 'Mom, look at the scenery outside. What's the point of us just staying inside the spaceship. It's better to go outside and have a look at the scenery. I don't think there is any danger in this place, isn't it just a prairie! '

Every day, I feel that the scenery of this place is very good. Outside is a piece of undulating prairie. In addition to the prairie, there is no other mysterious thing.

Qu Yuqian saw that her daughter really wanted to go outside, so she looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Zhongyao, look, will you take me and Tiantian out for an adventure this time?" '

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the outside environment and felt that there seemed to be no large beasts here. After all, this is a grassland, if there are any large beasts, they may be seen right away.

Zhao Zhongyao thought that there might not be any dangerous monsters here, so he looked at Qu Yuqian and Tiantian and said, 'Okay, let's take you two to explore this time too! '

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao asked Qu Yuqian and Tiantian to also put on a spacesuit. After everyone was dressed, they came out of the spaceship together.

Zhao Zhongyao was the first

Many came out of spaceships. After he got out of the spaceship, he felt that the outside environment was really good. If you are not wearing a space suit, you will definitely feel that you are in a certain tourist attraction on the earth, not in a place like Mercury, which is said to be a place where there is no life at all.

After Zhao Zhongyao came out, Feifei, Tiantian and Qu Yuqian came out of the spaceship together. When their family got off the spaceship. When they came to the middle part of this tiankeng, they felt that they were under a high mountain surrounded by some small valleys.

It's just that these small valleys are full of lush green grass. Not a barren place. Looking around, the bottom of the entire tiankeng seems to be covered with a thick green carpet, which is really very beautiful.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked in front, and Qu Yuqian and Tiantian walked behind. Their family began to explore this mysterious sinkhole.

Just now Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei felt a little puzzled because of the bottom of this tiankeng and why there was such a hill. Now they just want to study this hill well.

Zhao Zhongyao saw that there were also some grasses growing on this hill. But these grasses are not very dense, it can only be said that they grow very sparsely. Compared with the surrounding grasslands, this hill can only be regarded as a barren mountain.

'Dad, look at what is going on with this hill, how can there be such a hill at the bottom of this tiankeng. ’ Feifei looked at the hill under his feet and said.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the surrounding terrain again, and said,'That's it, I feel that this hill was the remnant left after the asteroid exploded. After the explosion of the asteroid at that time, not all of them were blown to pieces. There may be a little something left. And this hill is what was left after the asteroid exploded. '

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei felt that it made sense. After all, the sudden appearance of such a hill at the bottom of this tiankeng is also very uncoordinated, and it is obviously related to the explosion of that asteroid at that time.

'Father, it seems that this hill is not made of rocks above Mercury. Instead, it's made of the rocks of an asteroid. ’ Said Feifei.

‘That’s right, the asteroid that hit Mercury at that time must be a rocky planet. After it hit Mercury, it slid for a certain distance and then exploded. After the explosion, such a huge sinkhole was formed. But this asteroid did not completely explode and shatter, leaving behind a wreckage. This wreck is the hill in front of me. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

'All right, Dad. We have explained clearly how this hill came to be. Then our next work, should we go to find that amethyst gem? We have to find that amethyst gem quickly, and then we can go to Mars. To be honest, I still want to go to Mars. There is an exoplanet that is very similar to the earth's environment. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'You are right, we still have to find the second amethyst gemstone quickly. Since there may be only this oasis of life on this Mercury, then this place must have the amethyst gem we are looking for. '

So, Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei, Qu Yuqian and Tiantian to look for amethyst gems. They all felt that there should be no danger in this place. After all, there are some grasses growing here. There are no tall trees.

As long as there are no tall trees, there will be no tall animals. In general, tall animals eat leaves. The reason why they grow tall is also because they like to eat some leaves.

Just like a giraffe, the reason why it has such a long neck is because it likes to eat the leaves of a tall plant on the African savannah.

This tall plant is the acacia tree. This tree is also very magical. Their leaves open during the day and close at night. The flowers of this tree are yellow. From a distance, it looks like a golden cloud. Therefore, we call this kind of tree the acacia tree, which is a very vivid name.

Giraffes love to eat the leaves of this tall plant. Originally, this plant evolved many spikes in order to deal with the giraffe's nibble on him. On each of its branches, there are many spikes growing.

In this case, it will be more difficult for many animals to eat the leaves of the acacia tree. Because if you want to eat its leaves, you have to risk your tongue being pierced by the sharp thorns.

But the giraffe is not afraid of the spikes on the acacia tree. Because they have also evolved to deal with the sharp tongues on the acacia tree.

Giraffes not only have long necks, but also long tongues. Their tongues can extend more than a foot out of their mouths. Moreover, the giraffe's tongue can also shrink into a cylindrical thing. Such a tongue can bypass the sharp spines on the acacia tree, and then eat the leaves on the acacia tree.

This is the result of survival competition and evolutionary variation. All things are like this, and no one species can restrain all species. Nor is there one species that is restrained by all species.

The reason why there are tall herbivores like giraffes and elephants on the African prairie is because there is not only deep thatch on the African prairie. And tall trees. These tall trees provide edible bark and leaves for giraffes and elephants.

Because of this, there are some tall herbivores on the African savannah. for there are tall trees and

Very deep thatch.

The reason why these animals grow tall is closely related to the environment in which they live. On the African savannah, there is not rain all year round. The African savannah has a dry season and a rainy season. There is lush green grass on the ground during the rainy season. But in the dry season, there is no grass on the ground.

And animals living on the savannah, in the absence of grass. You can only choose to eat bark and branches and leaves. Because of this, some animals on the African savannah gradually became very large.

Just like giraffes and elephants, they grow taller because they like to eat some tall plants. And some animals that eat grass will not grow particularly tall. Just like the antelopes on the African savannah, they don't grow very tall, they only grow to a height of one meter.

And in this sinkhole above Mercury, there are only some grasses. There are no tall trees. In this way, it is impossible to have any tall animals in this place. Even if there are, they are some small animals.

Zhao Zhongyao just felt that there were no large animals in this place, which made Qu Yuqian and Tian Tian come out of the spaceship together.

After all, their family is out to explore. Since it's an adventure, you have to get out of the spaceship. If you don't get out of the spaceship, is it still an adventure!
