Chapter 610 Water Star

Hao Ren led Lily and Vivian back to the Giant Turtle Platform. As the spacecraft gradually descended toward Io's equator, Yzaks curiously asked about what they had found in that space wreckage.

The Siren Queen immediately approached with concern.

"That was the Zalazane. It failed to escape and was destroyed in high orbit." Hao Ren shook his head. "There were a large number of penetrating wounds in the pipeline intersection area between the starship's flanks and the lower half, spreading over several kilometers. They were all shot out by artillery. We found an unexploded warhead in the spacecraft - that unfortunate thing almost ruined my hair style."

"Artillery?!" Yzaks did not expect this result. "It was not the eldest son and the brain monster that destroyed the Kraken civilization back then, but a kind of... mortal race that could use artillery?"

"The eldest son and the brain monster are also mortal races. Although they are powerful, they are still inseparable from 'mortals' in nature." Hao Ren first corrected Yzaks's statement as "the chief pope certified by the true god, a traffic policeman and a film policeman" , "Of course I understand what you mean... Being able to use artillery means that this race is definitely not the eldest son, and it doesn't look like a brain monster. Those big heads don't even wear clothes, so they really don't look like a species that can use tools."

"Whether it was the people who fired the cannons that destroyed Io or not, at least the Zalazane was brought down by the cannons," Vivian curled her lips, "Haha... This is really not good news. The situation is getting worse and worse. It’s getting complicated, the eldest son and the brain monster are already entangled, and now there’s a high-tech race with unknown origins, and I don’t know if they are the same as the eldest son.”

Hao Ren shrugged: "At least there is more and more information. To put it another way, the more confused we are, the closer we are to the truth. The Dream Plane is so big, if all the clues are clear, I will doubt whether I have walked into it. Misunderstanding.”

Lily turned her head and looked at Hao Ren and then at Vivian. She grabbed her tail and rubbed Hao Ren's body distressedly: "I don't care about anything else. Landlord, you really stepped on my tail just now..."

Hao Ren: "..."

The Giant Turtle Yantai plunged into the atmosphere, dragging a long bright fire cloud towards the vast sea. It did not stay in the clear upper atmosphere for a few seconds before breaking into a cloud of heavy rain. The picture transmitted from the external monitor showed a thrilling scene of thunderstorms and heavy rain. The heavy rain poured down as if the sea and the sky were hanging upside down. The field of vision was filled with a vast gray rain curtain, and thick lightning twisted and exploded in the rain curtain and clouds. , every time a crack will explode in the thick clouds, giving people the feeling that the sky is connected to another water world, but now it breaks through countless cracks, and is about to plunge the entire ocean into Io.

"Uh oh... the weather in your hometown is not as mild as your personality," Nangong Sanba looked at the majestic heavy rain outside the spacecraft in amazement, and couldn't help but muttered to Soma beside him, "This heavy rain is like Can’t seem to stop.”

"It really can't stop," Hao Ren looked back at Nangong Sanba, "Io is shrouded in almost eternal precipitation, sometimes heavy rain, sometimes heavy snow, depending on the angle of the sun. And near the equator , there is no winter here, so there are always heavy rains. This rain has been falling continuously for many billions of years since the planet cooled down, and will continue to do so. The entire planet has only cleared less than ten times in recorded history, and only partially. Area clearing.”

Nangong Sanba opened his mouth and made weird gestures with his hands in the air: "Um...how does this water circulate?"

"Storm," Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed at another set of holographic projections, "super-large tornadoes, thousands of meters high waves, these things, like rainfall, have not stopped for many years."

On the holographic projection, a huge water column reaches directly into the clouds. This is sea water swept up to high altitudes by a tornado. It is a hundred times more spectacular than the largest "dragon sucking water" phenomenon on the earth. As if being sucked into the clouds by an invisible water pipe, tens of thousands of tons of seawater are continuously sent into the clouds, maintaining Io's eternal torrential downpours.

Such a thrilling storm star, even if it has a little bit of land, it is impossible to evolve any life. Only the deep sea can play the role of the cradle of life: it is the only calm place on the entire planet.

"Did you find any enemies when scanning the planet?" Hao Ren looked at the console.

"This machine uses its own six corners to assure you, no," the data terminal said as it clicked out of the slot, "turns into autonomous driving... Of course, the scanning accuracy is limited, so if something is hidden here You probably won't be able to find a few scattered brain monsters, but the army of brain monsters you were worried about before probably doesn't exist. There are no enemies and no eldest sons, so we don't need to plow the entire planet with main cannons—— Although it does sound quite exciting.”

As the spacecraft slowly approaches the sea, this turbulent water planet fully presents its violent side to visitors. The huge waves and torrential rain almost turn the entire world into gray. In this heavy rain, Hao Ren suddenly saw something strange appearing not far ahead: "Get closer, there seems to be something over there."

The data terminal enlarged the monitor screen: "It's a platform, made of metal."

A silver-gray metal platform stands in the sea, with several thick alloy frames holding it steadily a hundred meters above the sea level, so that small-scale waves cannot interfere with the upper part of the platform (in Io, The waves below 100 meters are really small waves). This facility is very large and can accommodate the Ten Giant Turtle Platforms to take off and land on it. There are also many closed buildings from top to bottom on the platform, and the buildings are connected by pipelines. Its age is probably It has been quite a long time ago - Nasatorn has been lying on the earth for more than 10,000 years and is still as clean as new, but the platform in front of him looks mottled, as if it has been abandoned for a long time.

"This is a..." Hao Ren quickly looked up the information copied from Nasatorn, but unfortunately what he copied at that time was not the Civilization Seed Bank after all. Regarding the platform in front of him, there was no mention in the database. "I can't find it. I think it's an aircraft landing pad or something like that."

"No, it's a maritime observation station, used to observe the 'air world'," Vivian pointed to the big characters on a pillar of the platform, "Don't just look down at the database, it's written on it."

Hao Ren: "..."

"It's not easy for Kraken to build a platform that can observe the atmosphere. This thing has to pass through ten kilometers of sea water to reach the surface of the planet. It is rooted on the seabed," the voice of the data terminal said with admiration, "and this is still the seabed. Even though it is relatively shallow, the sea on Io is much deeper than on Earth."

The spacecraft circled around this large platform. On one side of it, everyone saw a huge, monument-like metal plate. The writing on it was still clearly legible, recording things related to this platform. :

"The Ivina Observatory was rebuilt in 13086 to commemorate Ivina, the Star Reverend, and commemorate the place where the Siren first saw the stars. Thanks to the pioneers for their seven hundred years of perseverance at the observatory, ushering in our history The first clear sky above."

"This is where the Kraken saw the stars for the first time," Hao Ren suddenly realized. He looked at the thick clouds over Io, "They have to wait on the observation platform for hundreds or even thousands of years to see them once. Star."

Lily crossed her arms: "I think it must have been an accident for them to see the stars for the first time, and I'm afraid it was also accompanied by panic. That Ivina should have been painting the clouds, but the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, the stars appeared, and the sirens appeared. They were surprised to realize that there was something else behind the endless clouds - before that, they had probably never thought about what was outside their 'world'."

The Siren Queen stared at the platform standing in the storm, and suddenly sighed softly: "This should be our important history... but I can't even understand the words on it."

Hao Ren smiled: "It doesn't matter, we will help you understand those words again when the time comes."

Nangong Wuyue looked at the supports that had been standing under the platform for who knows how many years: "So the high-energy area we are looking for is down here?"

"Directly below," the data terminal replied, and then the Giant Turtle Yantai began to sink into the water. "This machine is going to put the weapon system online - although there is no army here, there is no guarantee whether the Kraken left any defensive firepower or the like. s things."
