Chapter 886 Nothing

Xiangshan adjusted his breathing again. The mask of the protective suit was a little blurred due to the evaporating sweat.

Even with a powered exoskeleton, this protective suit was very strenuous - it was designed to allow those important people to run from their homes to the car and then jump into the nuclear shelter under a sudden nuclear attack. Even this was just a "just in case" design, and it would not be used in most cases.

It is somewhat inappropriate to use this kind of thing for scientific research.

However, for people who have not received professional training, it is at least better than ordinary military protective clothing.

Xiangshan supported his hands on his knees and panted heavily. The six soldiers were divided into two groups, four of them were on guard in different directions, and two were recording something, collecting air samples, and leaving marks at the same time.

They had already walked back and forth.

Xiangshan and others entered "Ogun" from the fracture, and then walked all the way to the top of Ogun. There was still no machinery, no operating system, and no moving tools such as elevators.

There was only a severely deformed top.

The end of this road is a narrow space that has been severely deformed and has no room to enter.

After making a record, the group turned back, but they did not return along the original route, but found a new route a few meters to the left.

But it doesn't matter.

Xiangshan can still see the military lighting sticks thrown when he came.

There is not even a wall inside "Ogun".

Until now.

There are no aliens, no alien machinery, and no mechanical structures that can interact.

Nothing.

"At least there must be a rocket engine at the tail." Kanhara is quite optimistic: "There must be something."

According to the records sent back by NASA, there are indeed several sets of rocket jets on the back of this thing.

In order to avoid mechanical damage caused by the fall, NASA originally planned to conduct research in space. However, this approach was unanimously opposed by the top leaders of the United States. If it is studied in orbit, it is very easy to be seen by civilians. And the sudden exposure of such things will cause unpredictable social impacts. And other countries also unanimously oppose this approach.

What if this product of alien civilization has epoch-making technology?

In the end, the Americans could only record the appearance of the rocket engine in space.

The NASA engineer sitting next to Xiangshan had told Xiangshan about this on the way here, and he was very sorry about it. No matter how successful the landing was, those engines could not be preserved intact. "Ogun" was too big as a whole.

"But..." The engineer changed the subject and said, "From the appearance, these nozzles are not very advanced. I don't think the technology of those aliens is much more advanced than that of the earth. Unless the nozzle sprays propellants that we can't understand."

"If this can represent the technological level of those aliens, it's really incredible. They are only a little more advanced than humans, but they can make interstellar spacecraft!"

Xiangshan took a deep breath and stood up again.

Maybe this is what each country cares about most. "Rockets" in the modern sense were born as weapons on Earth. And "better rocket engines" mean "better weapons." "Only a little more advanced than Earth" just facilitates the reverse engineering of technology.

The "one point" mentioned by scientists may mean a big project worth billions of dollars and several years of research.

Thinking of this, Xiangshan even felt a sense of responsibility and a little panic.

The group continued to move forward. But soon, Xiangshan heard a "beep".

He looked around like a frightened bird: "What's the situation?"

"Geiger counter." A soldier said concisely: "There is radiation."

Xiangshan was shocked: "Nuclear power leak?" He even took two steps back. But soon he saw the reading of the instrument in the soldier's hand: "So low?"

It seems that the instruments in the hands of these soldiers are quite sensitive. The radiation here can only be said to be "slightly higher than the environmental background", slightly higher than the safety standards of building materials or civilian industries, but lower than the environment of the hospital radiology department.

"It should be to avoid missing any clues." Yawgmoth said: "What if the aliens' vision is based on nuclear radiation... or they are used to writing "safety exit" with nuclear radiation... right..."

"But I'm sure this is not a "safety exit", nor does it look like a "weak current box" or "elevator"..." Kanhara looked around.

The group continued to move forward.

To be honest, this section of the road remained unchanged. The reform counter beeped lazily every now and then, indicating that the radiation here was slightly higher, but the reading was still at a level that made Xiangshan feel that "it would be OK even if I took off my protective suit."

They walked like this until they were blocked by a large piece of rubble.

Yes, rubble.

What blocked Xiangshan and his group seemed to be a collapsed cliff.

In a farther place, Xiangshan and his group had stepped on rubble. Xiangshan picked up a piece of rubble the size of a fingernail and weighed it a few times. It was unexpectedly heavy. At the same time, the Geiger counter finally became a little anxious, reminding everyone that this was a radiation source.

The metal content of this thing is very high, higher than the richest ore on earth.

And now, they are standing in front of a huge stone.

"What is this?" Xiangshan was confused again.

If we look at it by the standard of "ore", these stones are obviously pure and rich.

But if we use the standard of "nuclear fuel"...

Sorry, these things can't be nuclear fuel.

People can touch these things with bare hands and nothing will happen.

"So what is this?" Xiangshan scratched his head: "Nuclear waste? Ballast?"

No one answered Xiangshan. Several soldiers raised lighting equipment and looked at Xiangshan. The road behind was already buried tightly by the huge rubble, and it was impossible to pass.

The huge, deformed rocket engine was farther away, shadowy and unclear.

"It looks like there is no harvest." Shenyuan Zun was very regretful: "This kind of equipment can't cross those rubble piles. We can only get here."

"That's it... that's it?" Xiangshan suddenly felt a little bit unacceptable.

He, Yawgmoth and Shenyuan Zun, three experts in "dealing with various emergencies", seemed to have never been used once.

There are no aliens, no machines, no symbols, and no interactive elements here.

It's like a puzzle game is stuck.

Shenyuan Zun looked at the leader of the six soldiers. After reporting, the team leader also agreed with this judgment.

Thus, the first human exploration of alien spacecraft ended in such a hasty manner.
