Chapter 1,228 Prehistoric Mars
"Okay, little guy, it's up to you. "W.⒉3T"
With his head full of black lines, Jiang Chen watched the guy in the spacesuit release himself. Jiang Chen controlled the spherical drone to eject the rotor from the side and fly towards the wellhead.
Back on the Mars rover, Wang Qiang took off his spacesuit in the buffer compartment and sat back in the driver's seat. James, who was sitting next to him, was drinking coffee and watching the drone flying toward the wellhead outside the window.
"Intelligent?"
Leaning on the seat, Wang Qiang took a sip of coffee with his hand and grinned.
"Otherwise? Is it remotely controlled by the ground command center?"
Even for faster-than-light communication based on quantum effects, there are tens of millions of delays in the communication channel between Mars and Earth. If you use an online game to describe this feeling, it would probably be that after you click the mouse, it takes half a minute for the character to react.
Communication is no problem, but remote-controlled drones and the like are ridiculous.
However, what Wang Qiang, who was sitting on the Mars rover, didn't know was that the drone he just released did not communicate based on electromagnetic waves at all, but based on a Crane particle communication chip embedded with sub-crystal fragments...
After entering and descending along the vertical well wall, about half an hour later, the drone controlled by Jiang Chen finally landed at the bottom of the drilling well and a cracked metal shell.
"Anyway, let's take pictures first..."
The camera was pointed at the metal fracture. Although the drone that came down previously had taken pictures, neither the resolution nor the light could compare with this reconnaissance drone designed based on the latest technology.
While pressing the shutter, Jiang Chen controlled the drone to fly towards the hollow layer of the spiral structure.
The space five kilometers below was surprisingly empty, at least much emptyer than the holographic concept map seen on the conference table. The spiral pipe is like a tree trunk, and the disc-shaped spaces extend out every short distance, just like the branches and leaves on the trunk.
All the "rooms" were empty and nothing could be seen except mountains of dust.
After Jiang Chen took a few photos of the room, he continued moving downwards.
The spiral passage is very long, extending down to a depth of ten kilometers underground. Here, the composition of the air has also quietly changed.
Although it is still dominated by carbon dioxide, the oxygen content is much higher than the outside world.
"Do Martians also breathe oxygen? In short, this can be considered a discovery." Looking at the data on the drone's dial, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
When he reached the last level of the spiral passage, Jiang Chen passed through an open circular door and slowly floated into a spherical space.
However, the moment he entered this spherical space, a hint of uneasiness rose in his heart.
This kind of uneasiness was like being watched in the dark by creatures such as death claws and mire crabs. The only difference was that his intuition told him that the sight was not hostile, but seemed to be pure observation. .
He suddenly had a premonition that he was about to be involved in some trouble.
"...I feel like there's something weird here, so I'd better switch to Amos."
Looking around at the patterns on the walls of this spherical space, Jiang Chen's unhappiness became more and more intense.
Just when he was about to interrupt the connection with the drone and switch to Dr. Amos to drive, a white light suddenly lit up from directly below him, swallowing up the entire space together with the floating drone... …
…
I do not know how long it has been.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the ground.
"Where is this?"
Putting his hand on his sore forehead, Jiang Chen slowly got up from the ground, stood up straight, and began to look around.
A gust of cool breeze blew in my face, bringing a bit of freshness and dryness to the air. This is no longer an underground ruin on Mars, nor is it Dr. Amos's laboratory, but a wilderness - a place like the African savannah.
And he is no longer a drone.
Looking around, the entire land is as golden as wheat ears, with layers of wheat waves swaying in the gentle breeze. In the distance are steep red clay rock walls. The mountains here seem to have been cut with a knife. They are square and square without any magnificent shapes.
Jiang Chen knelt down and carefully observed the wheat-like grass under his feet.
Although it is somewhat similar to foxtail grass, this plant cannot match the species in his memory in terms of color or shape.
Just as he was studying his surroundings, a ball of light appeared out of nowhere, circled around it faintly twice, and then stopped next to him.
"Mammal? What a surprise."
"Accident?" Jiang Chen looked at the ball of light and carefully took two steps to the side, staring at it intently.
Just when Jiang Chen was about to ask it, "Who are you?", a faint sigh floated into his ears.
"Yes. On Mars, mammals exist like endangered species. I believe that if one day you see the tigers and lions in your zoo learn from you and invent their own writing, I'm afraid you will be surprised. No younger than me... If you use your language to describe this shock, this is probably what it feels like."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and frowned.
"You read my memory?"
"Please forgive me for my presumptuous approach. If I don't do this, I won't be able to communicate with you." The light ball politely expressed its apology in a calm tone.
"Okay...can you tell me who you are?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I am a memory." The ball of light answered truthfully.
"Memory? Similar to AI? Holographic image?" Jiang Chen frowned.
After Guangqiu was silent for a moment, he gave a very ambiguous answer.
"Yes and no. Similar, but different."
The words of the light ball made Jiang Chen confused. Just when he was trying to understand this concept, Jiang Chen suddenly recalled that he seemed to have seen similar things somewhere before.
That was when Lin Ling... no, to be precise, it was Tingting, who temporarily connected his spirit with the "Queen" of harmonious civilization. He seemed to have crossed the dimensional barrier with the Brahma, and was exiled to a strange universe, a strange planet, and witnessed their culture, technology, society, and everything else deviating from the right path.
The feeling is very similar.
It's like a soul leaving the body, crossing the distance of time and space, and drifting to another corner of the universe.
He didn't know what words to use to describe this wonderful feeling, nor how to express the shock in his heart at this moment.
But he had already vaguely guessed what happened to him.
If nothing unexpected happens.
The land beneath his feet.
It should be Mars more than three billion years ago...
